On the last page of the booklet, there was a pattern printed on it. It seemed to be made up of countless lines connected together. At first glance, it looked very messy, but if one looked closely, they would find that it was actually very orderly.
According to the note, this pattern was passed down by Xuanting. Those with miraculous abilities only needed to visualize this pattern to be able to distinguish whether or not they were being parasitized by foreign objects. This was not limited to Nightmares.
Zhang Yu looked at it and quickly reflected the pattern in his mind. After a while, he felt as if he was sinking, and everything around him was retreating into the distance.
He could clearly feel that he had sunk into the depths of his consciousness and could clearly feel everything around him.
According to the note, if he saw the multicolored light here, he had to be careful. There was a high chance that he was being targeted by Nightmares. He had to expel them as soon as possible, or he had to go into seclusion and not come into contact with anyone, waiting for the right person to save him.
Now that he scanned his surroundings, he saw that his consciousness was empty. There was nothing outside of it.
This meant that he was not affected by any Nightmares.
This was not strange. He had only been in the Qingyang Upper Continent for a short day, and almost as soon as he got off the flying boat, he was sent here by Wen Yi using the Cold River Worm. If it was not too coincidental, he might not have been targeted by this kind of thing.
He was fine, but next, he needed to check Miao Danjun's consciousness.
As for how to test others, the booklet also had instructions. He only needed to visualize the pattern and use the Heart's Light to enter the person's consciousness.
He called Miao Danjun in front of him, then reached out and pressed his hand on his head. His Heart's Light instantly circled around his consciousness, but he did not find any problems.
He thought for a moment. In fact, this method of verification was more convenient and simple. Although the pattern was complicated, it was not difficult for Xuanxiu, who had condensed the Heart's Light, or for True Cultivators who had broken through the limits of their bodies.
But there was a problem here.
He could only prove himself, but there was no way to prove that he had done so.
In other words, he had no way to prove to others that there was no problem with him.
The method given by the continent was to have the Inspection Department verify it. The physical side was tested by blood. Because the parasitism of consciousness did not guarantee that there was no problem with the body, there were two situations that happened at the same time.
As for the consciousness side, it was tested by the Divination Department's creation. Because the entire Xuanfu could be parasitized, and because there had been a large number of deaths in the past, this thing was in the Inspection Department's hands.
But as a cultivator himself, Zhang Yu knew that no cultivator would be willing to let others check their consciousness. Moreover, this kind of verification was very likely not only to check, there was no guarantee that nothing would be fine this time, and would be fine the next time.
Therefore, it was conceivable that as long as they had this authority, if the Inspection Department had their eyes on a certain person, they could even come back again and again to investigate.
As a Xia Shi, he could legitimately reject the other party. However, ordinary Mystics would find it difficult to advance or retreat in such a situation.
If the Inspection Department was an enemy, it would be easy to deal with, they could just draw their swords and fight. But since they were both Tianxia's' people, it was obviously impossible to fight back. Moreover, the other party was using Tianxia's' rules to pressure you, there was no way to resist.
He thought for a moment, he did not know what Qingyang Xuanfu's' attitude towards this matter was.
But if Xuanfu did not do anything, then Su Qian would not have let him out earlier, because it was meaningless. Thus, he judged that Qingyang Xuanfu should be on the side of protecting the cultivators.
As for the specifics, he could only go to Qingyang Xuanfu and understand the situation.
He took out a handful of pills that he had prepared in advance and fed them to Miao Dan Lord. Then, he sat down and meditated.
As the flying lanterns of the houses were extinguished, Luliang Town gradually fell into silence. Only a group of loyal patrol guards were still patrolling the town.
The night passed.
Zhang Yu washed his face and rinsed his mouth. After feeding Miao Danjun, he began his morning routine.
Not long after, he heard a burst of noise outside, and the cries of the two Xiao Tong of the Gong Family.
He opened his eyes and stood up. The Cicada Sword suddenly fell into his hand. Then, he pushed open the door and walked down from above.
When he came out, he saw a group of people gathered in front of the Gong Family's stable. Among them, there were three Minister of Justice in black official uniforms.
Gong Yi stood in front of the stable with his hands open. He cried and shouted to a tall old man standing in front of the crowd, "Uncle Yang, Old Qiu has been in our family for more than 50 years. My grandfather brought him home. He is my family, my elder. I beg you, please don't take him away."
Uncle Yang looked at him and said, "Young man of the Gong Family, I know Old Qiu is a spiritual horse. But he has spiritual power. What if he attracts the Nightmares? I have to think about the people in the town. "
Gong Yi wiped his tears and said, "Then we will move out. We won't bring trouble to the others."
Uncle Yang shook his head and said, "This is not the only problem now."
He looked a bit serious and said, "People in Luliang Town are human beings. People in other places are also human beings. Even if you go out, you will be in the territory of Tianxia. We can't bring trouble to the people in other places. In order to solve the problem, Old Qiu must be punished today."
Gong Yi said loudly, "Then I will go out. I won't bring trouble to anyone, okay? Please let Old Qiu go. "
Patrol Officer Yang Ming was also in the crowd. He scolded, "Young man of the Gong Family, what nonsense are you talking about? You can go, but what about your brother and sister? Are you worthy of your father's trust?
Besides, where can you go? Outside the territory of the Qingyang Upper Continent, there are man-eating monsters everywhere. Is that a place where you can go? Even if you go there, you won't be able to survive even one day! "
Gong Yi was still a young man. He didn't know what to do at this time. He sobbed and said, "Elders, do you really want to kill Old Qiu? Is there no other way? " “
His brother and sister also pulled his clothes and cried. They said at the same time, "We don't want Old Qiu to die. We don't want Old Qiu to die …"
People couldn't bear to see them like this.
Someone said, "Why don't we just let it go? Don't force the kid like this."
"Yes. Brother Gong is not here. I'm afraid he will think that we are bullying his kid together."
Uncle Yang hesitated for a moment, then he turned to the leader of the department and said, "Kang Ya Jun, do you think you can make an exception for this matter? After all, Old Qiu has been in this town for more than 50 years and nothing has happened. "
Yamen Kang said seriously, "Mayor Yang, there is no such thing as an exception. When we came here, you said that you would solve this problem. If you can't do it, we will do it."
Uncle Yang made up his mind. He stomped his foot and said, "I will be the bad guy!" He looked up at Gong Yi and said, "Little boy, if you want to blame someone, blame me in the future. I am the mayor. I have to be responsible for the safety of the people in this town! "
He gestured. Two strong patrolmen came forward and took away the crying Gong Yi and the two Little Tong. Another patrolman came forward and carefully held Old Qiu's reins. He was afraid that the spiritual old horse would resist.
The old horse's eyes were full of tears, but it didn't struggle. Instead, it obediently followed the patrolman out.
From the beginning, Zhang Yu had sensed all the voices and emotional changes around him. After integrating and distinguishing them, he straightened out the whole story.
Recently, Gong Yi often took the old horse out to deliver goods. Just three days ago.
Due to an accident, it had collided with another horse carriage on its way to the nearby Mo County. However, not only had Old Qiu managed to hold on to the carriage, it had also stopped the two incarnate beasts while it was completely unharmed. Hence, people who saw this scene suspected that the old horse had spiritual powers.
This was usually not allowed in the Qingyang Upper Continent because it could easily attract the Nightmares.
Therefore, people who suspected it immediately reported it. Therefore, the Criminal Justice Department in Mo County immediately sent people to investigate. Last night, they followed the clues and found the town. Today, they came to deal with this matter.
He thought for a moment and walked out of the crowd. He walked to Old Qiu under everyone's surprised gaze.
Patrolman Yang saw him and said nervously, "Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Yu said, "Nothing."
Yamen Kang looked at Zhang Yu and was surprised. He asked, "Who is this?"
Patrolman Yang said, "This is a gentleman who passed by here yesterday. He is staying at the Gong Family's Shaolang's house."
Yamen Kang didn't say anything. He just looked carefully at Zhang Yu's clothes.
At this moment, Zhang Yu reached out and patted Old Qiu's neck. He visualized the pattern in his mind and shone his light into Old Qiu's consciousness.
This old horse was indeed very spiritual. It sensed his good intentions and didn't resist at all.
Zhang Yu's light went around in Old Qiu's consciousness and then came out. He looked up and said, "Mayor Chen, Patrolman Yang, and this person, I can confirm that this old horse is not possessed."
Everyone looked at each other. Yamen Kang said, "How can you be sure? Are you from the Inspection Department? "
Zhang Yu lifted his sleeve and took out a green jade seal with a cicada button. He first imprinted his name and then held it in his palm. Under the sunlight, this object emitted bursts of green light. He said, "Is this enough?"
Yamen Kang took a look and looked at Zhang Yu with a strange gaze. He said respectfully, "Xia Shi?"
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise. Xia Shi was a person with a civil title. But this was only secondary. To become a Xia Shi, first of all, one must have a moral character and moral character that was recognized by others. Moreover, one must have great achievements. This kind of person, even the officials of the continent had to treat him with respect.
Yamen Kang raised his hand at this moment. Solemnly, he clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Shijun." The surrounding townspeople, including Mayor Yang, quickly followed suit.
Zhang Yu raised his hand and bowed, saying, "I've already examined this old horse. It's not infected. I also have a way to erase its spiritual energy. This way, we can eliminate any hidden dangers, and it won't be infected in the future."
Patrol Officer Yang said loudly, "I believe in Zhang Shijun!"
"Yes, we also believe in him!"
"I believe in Xia Shi's words!"
The surrounding townspeople voiced out one after another, expressing their willingness to believe in him.
Zhang Yu understood that the townspeople did not purely believe in him, but in the group of Xia Shi. Therefore, he reminded himself that in the future, when he walked in the name of Xia Shi, he must also protect the reputation of this group.
Yamen Kang thought for a moment and clasped his hands. He said, "Since Zhang Shijun is vouching for it, then we will also believe in him. Then we do not need to be an eyesore here. Goodbye." He said goodbye to Mayor Yang and left with his two subordinates.
On the road, one of the soldiers asked, "Boss, why is there a Xia Shi here? And this person looks so young. Could it be a fake? "
Yamen Kang shook his head. "The jade seal is real. Moreover, this seal is carved from green jade. Only by carrying it around for a long time and connecting with one's heart and name will it blossom with light." At this point, he reminded his two subordinates. "Remember, when you go back, don't talk too much. You only need to report this matter as usual. If others don't ask, just treat it as if you never saw it."
Seeing his serious expression, the two soldiers solemnly agreed.
