Zhang Yu stood in front of the white-robed woman. He glanced at her, then raised his sleeves and bowed. "How should I address you, fellow daoist?"
The woman in white replied, "I'm Meng Huanzhen, from Yujing."
Zhang Yu nodded thoughtfully when he heard that she came from Yujing. "So it's Fellow Daoist Meng. Do you have any advice for me?"
Meng Huanzhen said, "Since I came to Qingyang, I've seen a lot of things happening here. I'd like to take the liberty to ask Zhang Xuanzheng, how will you treat the creations of the Tenki-in Hall?"
Zhang Yu had some guesses about her background when she suddenly asked about this. He thought for a while and said, "I'll just report it to the higher-ups as it is."
Meng Ruizhen stared at him and said, "Those creations have caused a lot of harm to the Qingyang Upper Continent, and there are even creations among them. Zhang Xuanzheng, are you not planning to eradicate them?"
Zhang Yu raised his head to look at the vast sky and said, "I have also discussed this with Yun Xuan Shou. Yun Xuan Shou once said that creation is Dao and so is cultivation. I deeply agree with him. It would be too narrow-minded to throw away the benefits just because of a temporary disadvantage.
The reason why Tianxia is able to reach its current state is because there are millions upon millions of people who seek the Dao. This is the Dao of our generation. "
Meng Huanzhen's eyes lit up when she heard this. She said, "Zhang Xuanzheng's words, I'll report it to the higher-ups as it is."
When Zhang Yu heard her words, he was even more certain of her identity.
Although the Xuanting had established Xuanfu in each continent, it didn't mean that they didn't pay attention to it. From time to time, they would send some cultivators with background to investigate the situation of the Xuanfu in each continent. This person should be the same. She obviously didn't hide her identity.
Meng Huanzhen said, "I heard that Zhang Xuanzheng came from Dongting?"
Zhang Yu: "That's right. Yu is a member of the Dongting Protectorate. Three years ago, after the Dongting Protectorate was lit, a group of comrades and I were received by the Guang Ye Camp. Only then did we return to Tianxia. "
Meng Ming seemed to want to ask something. He lifted the vermillion jade flute in his hand. However, he hesitated for a moment and did not ask.
Zhang Yu looked at the jade flute and the tassel below and said, "May I ask if Fellow Meng knows Xiao Han Sheng?"
When Meng Jianzhen heard this, she couldn't help but look at him and ask, "Where did you hear of this name, Fellow Daoist?" It was clear that her voice wasn't as calm as her mood at the moment.
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and took out a jade flute fragment and a red string from his astral bag. Holding them in his hand, he handed them over and said, "That day, when I was heading to a foreign divine country, I came across something left behind by Senior Xiao. I was entrusted by him to bring this back to Tianxia."
Meng Jianzhen stretched out her hand. Her fingers trembled at first, but they soon calmed down.
She took the fragment and looked at it for a long time. Then, she picked up the string and said softly, "I made this myself. I didn't expect him to still have it."
She picked up the string and tied it to her jade flute. Thus, a pair of long tassels were placed together. They swayed gently in the wind as if they were leaning on each other.
She looked to the east and said, "Zhang Xuanzheng, what does the Dongting look like?"
Zhang Yu also looked over and said, "The past and present of the Dongting are different, but the future will be as Senior Xiao imagined."
Meng Jianzhen stared into the distance for a long time and said softly, "That's good." After a while, she turned back and said, "Thank you, Zhang Xuanzheng, for bringing back what he left behind for me."
Zhang Yu: "I was only doing my duty as a fellow Daoist."
Meng Jianzhen looked at him for a while and thought for a while. Then, she said, "When I saw Zhang Xuanzheng fighting with Bai Xiu, he seemed to have used a spell to intimidate people with words?"
Without waiting for Zhang Yu's reply, she said seriously, "If Xuanzheng is willing to listen to this humble Daoist, try not to use this spell in front of others in the future, especially when you are with fellow Daoists."
Zhang Yu's eyes moved slightly. He said, "Why do you say so, Fellow Daoist Meng? Can you tell me more?"
Meng Jianzhen seemed to be thinking about something. She touched the string and said, "I originally wanted to go to the Dongting, but now it seems that I don't need to. In ten days, I will leave Qingyang and return to Yujing. If Fellow Daoist wants to know more, you can go to the place where you fought with Bai Xiu in ten days. This humble Daoist will wait for you there."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and nodded. "Okay."
Meng Jianzhen saw him agree and curtsied to him. Then, she turned her cloud and flew away on her little cloud boat.
Zhang Yu stood in place for a while. After thinking for a while, he didn't go down. Instead, he turned around and went to the Inspection Department of Guangzhou. There, he stopped to deal with the aftermath of the Tenki-in Hall.
However, this was the Inspection Department after all. There were some things that were inconvenient to deal with.
Therefore, he was thinking that if it was possible, not only should he rebuild the Xuanfu Academy, he should also rebuild the Xuanfu branches in the various provinces and counties.
Just like how the Dongting Protectorate had branches, the Qingyang Upper Continent was so large that each province and county should have a Xuanfu branch as well. However, the situation in the continent in the past clearly didn't allow for this.
But now, the Daoist sects in the outer realm were united. Both internal and external troubles were resolved. He could try to do this.
After about three days, a cultivator brought Master Craftsman Gong from the Shuang Continent into the main hall. After entering, he cupped his hands to Zhang Yu and said, "Xuan Zheng, we've seen it. There's no problem with that Fang Yuzhong. It's really him."
Zhang Yu asked, "Can you confirm it?"
Master Craftsman Gong said, "Yes, I've seen it with a few other master craftsmen. There won't be any mistakes, unless Fang Yuzhong created another master craftsman's double in the past few decades, but that's almost impossible."
Zhang Yu nodded. After all, Fang Yuzhong was a creator. However, whether "this Fang Yuzhong" was "that Fang Yuzhong" was "that Fang Yuzhong" was "that Fang Yuzhong".
However, what was certain was that Fang Yuzhong himself was a master craftsman. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to convince the masses. Therefore, he had Fang Yuzhong create a creation under the supervision of other master craftsmen. This was the only way to truly confirm his identity.
He said, "Thank you for your trouble, Master Craftsman Gong."
Master Craftsman Gong said, "Head Xuan is too polite. If there's anything you need me for, just let me know."
Zhang Yu said, "I do have something I need to trouble you with."
At the same time, at the border between the Moon Continent and the Han Continent, a dozen cultivators were using their mana around a mound. At the bottom of the mound, there was already a deep pit.
After a cultivator used his mana again, a huge piece of frost white crystal jade was revealed from the soil. He became spirited and said to Si Wuzhang, "Daoist Si, I found it."
Si Wuzhang floated down and stared at the crystal jade. He said, "Is this the frost spirit crystal that Xuan Zheng mentioned?"
Creator cultivators didn't just create things themselves. They also had the problem of observers.
In the past, Creator cultivators relied on observers to communicate with these frost spirit crystals. From there, they obtained a lot of cultivators' memories and experiences.
This thing was actually a skill that only belonged to the Shuang Continent in the early days. It relied on a unique creature that could transmit and carry complex consciousness through space.
This creature came from the outer layer. In the beginning, only the people of the Shuang Continent who were infected by parasites could sense it.
However, after the communication between the Shuang Continent and the Azure Sun Continent, the Azure Sun Tenki-in Hall also grasped the secret. They used the fungal spirits to modify this creature and formed observers.
Now, because of the communication between the Azure Sun Continent and the other continents, the other continents also grasped this skill.
However, the Observer was completely obedient to its master. Thus, if a cultivator wanted to destroy it, it would only take a single thought. However, many cultivators were unwilling to do so. Thus, they could only destroy the Frost Spirit Crystal in order to prevent any future troubles.
Si Wuzhang walked up and pressed his hand down. This huge frost spirit crystal instantly shattered and scattered on the ground. He looked at it and said, "Let's go to the next burial ground."
In front of the Feng Xiang Ridge Daoist Temple, a daoist descended from the sky and landed here.
A chubby Daoist boy was eating a meat bun in front of the Daoist temple. When he saw Fan Xian, he hurriedly stuffed the meat bun into his mouth with both hands. His cheeks puffed up as he greeted Fan Xian and mumbled a greeting.
The daoist found it funny. He waved his sleeve and said, "No need to be so polite." He looked around and asked, "Who's in charge of the temple now?"
At this time, another handsome little daoist came out and bowed, "Greetings, daoist. Are you here to visit a friend? This place was originally in charge of my master. Later, Martial Uncle Tang took over. However, Martial Uncle Tang went out a few days ago and hasn't returned yet. "
The Daoist said, "I'm afraid that your Martial Uncle Tang won't be able to come back. I have some connections with your sect. This time, I came to the Qingyang Upper Continent for some reason. I was asked by someone to take you away. You can call me Martial Uncle Qi."
The chubby little daoist said, "Senior Martial Brother, is Martial Uncle Qi the person Martial Uncle Tang said to take us away?"
Daoist Qi laughed and said, "Yes, that's me."
The handsome little daoist thought for a while and said, "Please wait a moment, Martial Uncle. We'll pack up and go with you."
Daoist Qi smiled and said, "Okay, okay. Go ahead."
Once inside, the handsome little daoist pulled his junior martial brother and whispered, "Something's wrong. Martial Uncle Tang only left a few days ago. How could the person who came to take us come so quickly? Moreover, Martial Uncle Tang said that it was someone from his sect. He's not. We can't go with him. "
The chubby little daoist was confused and said, "But if he's not, why is he looking for us?"
The handsome little daoist said, "I don't know either. Maybe Martial Uncle Master left something behind?"
The chubby little daoist didn't know what to do and said, "Senior Martial Brother, then, then what should we do?"
The handsome little daoist said, "Junior Martial Brother, take out the small sword that Daoist Xingchuan gave us the other day."
The chubby little daoist hurriedly nodded and reached out to search his body.
"You guys are quite smart."
The two of them turned their heads and saw Daoist Qi standing not far away and looking at them with a smile. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Since you don't want to go with me, then I'll ask you."
He pointed his finger and the two little daoists stood there in a daze. Then, he began to ask questions. Every time he asked a question, the two little daoists answered blankly. In the end, he frowned and said, "Didn't you mention it?"
He muttered to himself, "Although it's just a rumor, it's still a clue. I'll just have to investigate further." With that, he disappeared with a gust of wind.
