When the young Daoist saw that Zhang Yu had already made his decision, he smiled and waved his horsetail whisk. However, the copper stake was taken back.
He then said, "I heard from Daoist Zhu that you like to read Daoist books. This is the right path. Regardless of whether one is Xuanxiu, the cultivation of Daoist techniques is important. However, many Xuanxiu today do not care about this point. It is truly a pity. I have a Daoist book here, please take it and have a look."
He pointed his horsetail whisk and a Daoist book appeared on the table.
Zhang Yu thanked him and took the Daoist book. After keeping it, he asked, "May I ask, is Chief Zhu Xuan also in Xuanting?"
The young Daoist smiled and said, "Daoist Zhu is now a court administrator. In the future, you can address him as court administrator. Hmm, today's bestowment has been delivered. It is time for you to return. As for the 'One Heaven Heavy Water', please leave it here. "
When Zhang Yu heard this, he stood up, cupped his sleeves and bowed, expressing his thanks again.
The young Daoist smiled and waved his horsetail whisk again. The surrounding golden light suddenly scattered.
Zhang Yu only felt that the scene before him changed. He was still standing on the rooftop of his residence. He looked around, walked two steps, and sat down on the praying mat.
He took out two items from his Star Bag. First, he picked up the jade pendant. When this item was in his hand, he knew that this item was called the "Righteous Dragon Carving". It could be used to protect a cultivator's mind and help him to avoid two karmic disasters.
This item was very good. It was obviously right that he did not choose the copper stake.
This was because the ones who could pose the greatest threat to him right now were Mystique Venerable Rank powerhouses. If he were to take the offensive weapon, it would be useless against such powerhouses. Instead, it would not be as useful as the jade pendant, which could protect him at a critical moment.
At this time, he took out the Jade Slip again and slowly unfolded it on the table in front of him. There were many words written on it. Upon closer inspection, it was actually Xuanxiu's deduction on how to climb the path to the Upper Realm.
He couldn't help but feel refreshed. Previously, he had guessed that Xuanting might give him all kinds of magic tools, but he really didn't expect this. Moreover, this was something that no magic tool could compare to.
Just by looking at it, he realized that there were many sentences from the Daoist scriptures mixed in. Not only did the other party talk about his inference, he also explained why he thought that way. Every conclusion had its own origin.
It was just that sometimes the words would become indistinct and indistinguishable.
He had a thought in his mind. The person who made this bamboo slip must have done it intentionally. He didn't want the later generations to be impatient. Therefore, after he finished reading a paragraph, he would adjust his breathing and then continue reading.
In the following period of time, besides the necessary cultivation, he spent all his time reading this jade slip.
Unknowingly, it was already the end of September.
The Wei Family Army, which had rested for more than a month, once again received an assignment from the Military Department. Therefore, they sent someone to Zhang Yu's residence to inform him that the Wei Family Army would go to the assigned place before the third of October.
Now that Zhang Yu had revealed his identity as a patrol officer, he actually didn't need to use the Wei Family Army to conceal his actions. However, he had said to Wei Lingying that since he had signed an agreement with the Wei Family Army, then he would finish what he started. At least, he wouldn't leave before the end of the agreement.
Moreover, this time, the Golden Eye Bureau judged that the people of You City would take the opportunity to attack him. Therefore, they suggested that he beat them at their own game.
He also thought so. Therefore, on the second day after receiving the report, he came to the Wei Family Army's encampment.
During this period of rest, the Wei Family Army once again recruited many people. Now, the entire army had reached more than 800 people. The number of people wasn't much different from the number of people at their peak, but their fighting power was far greater.
This place benefited from the black armor purchased last time. In addition, with Zhang Yu guarding the place, there were almost no casualties during the assignment. This allowed the experienced soldiers to remain.
Moreover, the army used the Longevity Dendrobium as an incentive, so the morale was very high.
After Zhang Yu arrived at the encampment, he found Wei Lingying and said, "General Wei, have you made your preparations?"
Wei Lingying replied seriously, "After receiving the patrol officer's reminder, we have been training. Uncle Lin and I have also made preparations to defend."
Half a month ago, she was informed by Zhang Yu that this operation might be attacked by the enemy.
She was worried that there would be traitors, so she didn't say it out loud. She only used the excuse of strengthening the defense to increase the training in this area.
Seeing that her arrangements were sound, Zhang Yu didn't say anything more. He directly stayed in the room that the Wei Family Army had arranged for him.
Time flew, and a few days passed. On the third day of the tenth month, the flying boat of the Wei Family Army took off from the boat platform at the encampment and headed towards the southwest of Kui Mansion.
Because every time they dispatched a flying boat, they would be damaged. This time, they knew that there would be an attack, so they didn't insist on the quality of the flying boat. This time, they took the old flying boat from the Military Affairs Department. They didn't expect to be able to sail back smoothly.
After the Wei Family Army set out, on a flying boat shrouded in clouds in the Wilderness, a cultivator looked at a faint light flashing in the sky. He came and sat beside Master Yong, who had been sitting quietly. He whispered, "Master Yong, the Wei Family Army has set out. That Patrol Officer Zhang is also among them."
Master Yong opened his eyes and said, "Take care of Mu Xuanxiu. Let them act according to the plan."
The cultivator said, "Then what do we do now?"
Master Yong looked outside. The surroundings were empty. There was nothing. However, he smiled playfully and said, "Since the people of the Golden Eye Agency have their eyes on us, then let's accompany them for a round."
After the Wei Family Army set out, they didn't encounter any unexpected changes along the way. After flying for a day, they saw a flat land that had been opened up in the rolling hills.
This time, the Military Affairs Department assigned them to guard a gathering place that was being built. This gathering place would be guarded by them and two other conscripted troops. It would last for about a month.
Every once in a while, the Military Affairs Department would transfer a part of the population from each province to set up a new gathering place in the desolate land. As the gathering place increased and expanded, it would be like tightening a fishing net, gradually squeezing out the living space of the descendants of the Evil God.
The flying ship of the Wei Clan's army landed on a relatively flat land. Wei Lingying then got off the flying ship. She first went to communicate with the original guards here. After that, she turned around and started to build the camp in the north.
After Zhang Yu got off the white boat, he took out the Ying Xing Fangtian Hut. Then, he walked into the inner room and took out the Taoist book that the young Taoist gave him. He read it carefully.
He could feel that when he read this Taoist book and the jade book together, they could corroborate each other and give him more inspiration.
Unknowingly, the sky gradually darkened. At this time, he suddenly felt something. With a thought, he opened the door. He saw an illusory figure walk out. Ning Ying's figure appeared from within.
She cupped her hands and bowed, saying, "Governor Zhang, on the way here, we didn't find any traces of people from You City. We speculate that they won't take action during the assignment period. It is very likely that they will choose to attack when the Wei Family Army is on their way back. Please be careful."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Thank you for telling me."
Ning Ying bowed once more before leaving.
The situation was just as Ning Ying expected. During the one month that they were stationed, although there were continuous attacks from the Evil God's descendants, they didn't see any people from You City.
At the beginning of November, the new conscripted troops arrived. After the handover was completed, the entire Wei Family Army embarked on their return journey.
At this moment, in the northeast direction of the Wei Family Army's return, two cultivators dressed in dark robes stood on a mountain peak. In front of them were rows of metal cylinders.
This was called the "Chasing the Rainbow Arrow". It could cross thousands of miles to attack a target that they had seen with their magic tools.
At this time, a faint light flashed in the sky.
One of them said, "The target is coming. Let's do it."
The other person nodded and walked to the side. Then, he silently chanted a few words of incantation. Finally, he stretched out his hand and pointed forward, saying, "Quick!"
One of the "Chasing the Rainbow Arrow" suddenly shook. Then, a sharp whistling sound came from it. Clusters of golden flames rushed into the sky one after another. Then, they flew towards the southwest direction and disappeared into the clouds one after another.
Zhang Yu was sitting in the main cabin of the white boat at this moment. He was watching the scenery outside gradually fly backward.
At this time, he suddenly felt something. He raised his head and looked forward. He saw streaks of golden light flying from the distant sky. With a sharp whistling sound, they fell on the flying boat of the Wei Family Army.
At this time, the figure of a Taoist with golden eyes embroidered on his sleeves suddenly appeared above the flying boat. He held an incense burner in his hand and released a dense fog that enveloped the entire boat. When the golden lights came over and collided with it, they immediately exploded into thousands of silver stars.
After these silver stars exploded, they still rushed in stubbornly, and after a series of explosions, 2 flying boats fell to the ground.
After this round of attack, there was another sound in the distant sky. Dozens of golden lights flew over. This time, most of them went straight to the white boat.
Zhang Yu's eyes moved. He immediately kept the white boat. His figure disappeared in an instant. Only a green rainbow could be seen in the sky!
Thousands of miles away, the two cultivators were still activating the "Chasing the Rainbow Arrow". Streaks of golden light rose from the ground and rushed into the sky.
However, at this time, a bright light flew from the sky. In just a flash, it landed on the magic tool with a bang. With a bang, the ground seemed to have been hit by a meteorite. In an instant, a huge pit was blasted open. Billowing smoke and dust rose like clouds. The whole earth shook because of it!
The two cultivators were shaken by the force of the impact and retreated far away. At this time, they heard the rumbling sound from afar.
At this moment, they realized that something was wrong and immediately wanted to retreat. However, they hadn't flown far when they saw a sword light fly over and slash at them from afar. Their expressions couldn't help but change greatly, and they had no choice but to stop and protect themselves.
After a while, they seemed to have sensed something. When they looked up, they saw a young Daoist whose body was surrounded by green light and jade mist. His sleeves were fluttering in the wind. At this moment, he was holding a sword in his hand and looking down at them from above.
