Once the restriction outside You City was broken, there was no longer any protection outside the city walls. The Guard Army immediately advanced towards this place. Whenever they encountered resistance, they would use their mystic weapons to destroy them. They were unstoppable for a time.
Zhang Yu saw that the Guard Army was more or less able to control the situation, and he himself had no intention of coming into contact with the higher ups of the army. Thus, he found a Kui Sou Flying Boat, informing himself that he had finished what he needed to do, and that he should return first.
After the main ship received the news, Vice Cong reported to Captain Li, "Captain, Governor Zhang said that after today, it will be the new year. Therefore, he will return to Kui Residence first."
When Captain Li heard this news, he said regretfully, "I wanted to treat Governor Zhang to a drink. What a pity."
Vice Cong reminded him, "Captain, You City is still here. How this matter is handled cannot be compared to Governor Zhang. There will be a chance in the future."
Captain Li said, "That's right. You City cannot stay here. Eventually, it will have to be dragged back. In the future, we will have to rely on Governor Zhang. Now, it is more important to take care of this place."
At this moment, Zhang Yu had already steered the white ship through the Heavenly Gate and returned in the direction of Kui Residence.
He sent Xu Chengtong to the cabin below and sat in the main cabin alone. After sitting for a while, he took out Zhan Ziji's astral bag.
He had seen the few items inside. Other than the jade talisman, there were some pills and artifacts. They were all used in conjunction with the abhijna. There was nothing special about them.
However, the difference was that there were many documents inside. He did not look at them carefully earlier. Now that he had the time, he took them out for a closer look.
Most of these letters were left behind by Zhan Ziji and the main city over the past few decades. There were not many of them, but from them, he could see a little bit of You City's main city.
It was a pity that there was no mention of where the main city was located. Otherwise, he could deduce based on this, or at least narrow down the range.
He heard Xu Chengtong say that Zhan Ziji had a disciple cultivating in the main city. Then, it was impossible that there was no communication between the master and disciple. However, after flipping through, there was no such letter.
He checked again, and found a pile of shredded paper and ashes in the star bag. It was very likely that Zhan Ziji had destroyed the letters he had exchanged with his disciples before he dissolved his body.
This proved that Zhan Ziji had purposely left these things behind. Perhaps it was because he had a grudge against the main city.
Just think about it, Zhan Ziji would have been able to go to the main city to cultivate in another half a year and enjoy a peaceful life, but because of the matter of Zhang Yu's Seal, he had been suppressed, and in the end, he had even lost his life. How could he not feel hatred? How could they not be resentful?
After Zhang Yu finished reading, he put the letters away and put them back in their original places. He also put the most important jade talisman into his own astral bag. Then, he sat down and regulated his breathing.
After a long time, he came out of his meditation and looked outside. He saw that Kui Constellation Earth had already appeared in front of him. At this time, he glanced at Heaven City.
Previously, Zhan Ziji had set up an altar to invite Xuan Zun. At first, the mighty figure behind You City still had the means to descend, but after that, there was no movement. It was very likely that Dai Xuan Zun had taken action. He didn't know what the result would be here.
He withdrew his gaze and urged the white boat to break through the atmosphere, descending towards Ye Yadi Province. Not long after, he arrived above his residence and slowly descended in front of the door.
When he got off the flying boat, he saw that Li Qinghe, Qing Shu, and Qing Xi were all waiting in front of the door to welcome him. Below the high platform, there were also various New Year banners.
After today, it would be the New Year. This time, he acted very quickly and broke through a strong city in just one day.
At this time, Li Qinghe and the other two came up and bowed, "Greetings, Mister."
Zhang Yu nodded. He took out a name letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Chengtong who was standing beside him. He said, "Deacon Xu, you can take my book and stay at the inn first. If I need anything, I will look for you."
Xu Chengtong took it and said respectfully, "Yes, Patrol Protector. If you need anything, just tell me."
After Zhang Yu gave his instructions, he walked into the hall and said, "Qinghe, Fellow Daoist Zuo and the others haven't come yet?"
Li Qinghe said, "Mister, Qinghe has gone to the station. However, Mister Zuo, Mister Xingchuan, Mister Ying, and the others' consciousness are submerged in the lower level and haven't come out. I'm afraid they can't come to the banquet."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. It seemed that these people were either delayed by the enemy or were preparing to return after achieving a certain goal.
But it didn't matter. After they came out, he could just invite them to a banquet. This was a common thing in the outer layer.
He stepped into the inner room, took off his cloak, and changed into a loose Daoist robe. Then, he sat down in the banquet hall.
As usual, Qing Xi prepared a table of delicious food early. Li Qinghe, Qing Shu, and Miao Danjun gathered at the table. They tasted the food and talked about last year's harvest and some interesting things.
At this time, Li Qinghe said, "Mister, Qing Mo sent me a letter. He said that he can't take care of the inner layer by himself. Now that Mister is also running around, why don't you recruit a few more servants next year?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and put down his jade chopsticks. He said, "That's good. Next year, I will also stay in Tanquan City and buy a residence. This way, it will be convenient for me to come and go. You can ask Qing Mo to go to Mizar Academy to select people. It will be easier to make arrangements next year. "
Choosing people at Mizar Academy meant that they had to go there and order Artisans. This was because Artisans were quick to learn and were loyal to their master. They didn't have any connections with the outside world, and they had great potential, so they were more convenient to use.
Li Qinghe agreed.
At this moment, Zhang Yu listened to Qing Shu and Qing Xi talk about their family matters. Qing Shu had recently read a lot of military sword manuals and his swordsmanship had improved. After listening to it, he also gave a few pointers.
Qing Xi moved a bamboo basket filled with Daoist robes she had woven. She unfolded them one by one and said, "Mister, please take a look. Mister used to use too few styles of Daoist robes, so Qing Xi wanted to weave them myself. Now, there are more than twenty of them. It's just that the fabric is too common and doesn't match Mister's identity."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Qing Xi is thoughtful. About the fabric, I recently obtained something. I'll give it to you." He took out a shuttle from his star bag. It was wrapped with thin threads that looked like they were woven with rainbows. He said, "This is the 'Star Seizing Thread'. It's impervious to water and fire. Once a thread is pulled out, it won't stop for a hundred miles. You can take it and use it."
Qing Xi's eyes lit up and she happily accepted it.
Zhang Yu didn't favor one and discriminate against the other. He also gave Li Qinghe and Qing Shu an item each.
Li Qinghe received a Jade Seal of Enlightenment. Wearing this item can quicken one's mind, boost one's spirit, and regulate one's mind and body. Wearing it can also increase one's longevity.
Qing Shu, on the other hand, received a Heart Protection Pill. This thing can protect one's mind at a critical moment and save one's life.
At this time, Zhang Yu felt some movement beside him. It was Miao Danjun who came over and rubbed his head against him. He couldn't help laughing. He reached out and rubbed the head of the little leopard cat and said, "I won't forget you. There will be something for you in the future."
At this time, they heard the sound of firecrackers outside. Although it was still sporadic, it was obvious that many people were looking forward to the New Year like them.
Zhang Yu looked at the rising fireworks outside the glass window. Although a year had passed, as his cultivation deepened, he didn't feel any signs of aging in his body in the past few years. He still maintained the most exuberant vitality.
However, Taoist cultivators also had a period of peak decline. It was just that the period was a little longer. A few hundred years was much longer than that of ordinary people, but in the whole universe, it was still a very short moment. Just like the fireworks, it was slightly dazzling and then disappeared.
Only by seeking Taoism and transcending could one jump out of life and death.
He raised the teacup in his hand, saluted to the outside, and slowly drank it.
After the New Year's banquet, Zhang Yu tasted the tea for a while before returning to the quiet room. He saw Miao Danjun following behind him. He knew what Miao Danjun wanted, so he took out a shining jade ball from his star bag and put it on the ground.
However, this thing was actually a kind of creature that was between stone and wood and living things. It was called the Yushan Moth. When placed in a room, it could be used as a light source for warmth. Once touched, it would turn into an extremely sturdy jade ball. It was also taken out from You City's storage.
When Miao Danjun saw this thing, he immediately felt a trace of vitality in it. His eyes were full of vigilance and curiosity. He pounced forward and pressed it under his paws.
Zhang Yu didn't care about it anymore. The Yushan Moth couldn't even destroy ordinary magic tools, so he wasn't afraid that it would be damaged by Miao Danjun.
He walked into the quiet room and sat down on the futon. He took out the three copper boxes from the box and put the incomplete stone slab with the characters together with the previous stone slabs.
As for the mass of Qi, he still didn't know what it was. He planned to find a way to investigate it later. For now, he could only put it aside.
Finally, he took out the copper box that contained the crystal jade. He extended his hand and removed the lid of the box. At this moment, the boiling hot flow once again surged up. That feeling was as if he had drunk pure wine. Once the lid was removed, the clusters of crystal-like roots also began to stretch and wriggle.
With the previous experience, he directly calmed his mind this time. So, the strange thing that happened in You City didn't happen again.
After staring at it for a while, he became thoughtful.
He had come into contact with the power of the Divine Ring of Creation before. He felt that this thing was very similar to it. It was very likely that it was a divine tool, or a part of a divine tool.
For cultivators, this thing couldn't be used properly, but for him, it was the best resource.
However, he didn't know the origin of this thing. He didn't think it was good to touch it directly, so he decided to collect it from a distance.
Thus, he sat still and focused his mind, and he sensed the strands of warm flow being transmitted over from that thing while the Divine Energy within his body grew bit by bit.
Soon, the night passed.
After dawn, he could feel that he had accumulated a lot of Divine Vitality, but that thing still didn't change at all. He looked at it for a while and closed the lid of the box.
He thought for a while. You City in Kui Mansion had been destroyed. Presumably, no one would disturb him for the time being. He should be able to concentrate on cultivating.
But before that, there was still something he needed to do.
Before the year, he had planned to study formations. After the incident in You City, he felt that if he didn't know formations, there were many places he couldn't go.
Shi Yanxin had once told him that in Kui Mansion, the two most skilled in formations were Wen Shu and Xue Lin.
Wen Shu worked in the Military Affairs Department all year round and was good at breaking formations. However, he didn't even know formations, so it was obviously not suitable to find this person directly. However, Xue Lin was an expert in setting up formations, so he could ask for some guidance.
After making up his mind, he felt that he could try to visit this person in a few days.
