Zhang Yu turned around and walked into the main room. Xu Chengtong followed him in. After he sat down, he asked, "What did you find out?"
Xu Chengtong said, "Patrol Officer, I have been keeping an eye on Marquis Wu these few days. He didn't do anything at first, but recently, he had secret communications with outsiders.
The item in the creator's hand that caused the Divine Gate to tremble should have been given to this person, but I don't know where he put it.
I think that this person is likely to take advantage of this trip to get in touch with the higher-ups and return the item to them. "
Zhang Yu thought about it. Xu Chengtong's judgment was very reasonable. Something that involved the great power of Xuan Zun could not be thrown away so easily, and it was very likely that it would be used again. This was undoubtedly a threat to him.
Therefore, this matter must be investigated thoroughly.
He said, "Where does Xu Chengtong think this person will hand this item over?"
Xu Chengtong said, "The rules in the army are strict, and the base is not guarded against leaks. Now, he has not said where he will go, but if he wants to hand this item over, it should still be on Earth Star, because that is the most convenient and most appropriate."
Zhang Yu said, "Xu Chengtong, you can keep an eye on him first. I will inform the Military Affairs Department. You can act boldly. Once this person leaves with the army, come and inform me immediately."
Xu Chengtong bowed and said, "I accept the order." He took a few steps back and his figure disappeared.
Zhang Yu returned to the hall and sat down. He took a document and spread it on the table. He wrote a letter and called Qing Shu, "Go and give this book to Chief Hong."
Qing Shu reached out and took it. He held the book and gave a fist salute before leaving.
Zhang Yu looked outside and came to the main hall. He sat down cross-legged and let his sleeves fall to the sides.
These days, he had been reading Taoist books and thinking about how to comprehend "All I am Complete".
Although there was no definite way to find "All I", the predecessors had summarized and explored a set of ways to comprehend. According to the steps, it was "Feel me, feel my existence", then "Withdraw me to seek the truth", and finally "Return me to the righteous".
These steps were only covered in a few strokes and were written very simply. If one did not read Daoist books and did not practice Daoist techniques, then it would be useless even if they knew.
He decided to try this method first, so he closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
This deep meditation lasted for a day and a night. When he came out of the meditation, although he was full of energy, he didn't gain much.
Fortunately, he had long known that this method was difficult. Many of his predecessors had been obstructed by this method. Even though his foundation was so solid that few predecessors could compare to it, he did not expect to succeed in one try.
Moreover, he had another method in mind that might be effective. It might be able to circumvent these twists and turns. If the method in front of him really didn't work, then it wouldn't be too late to take this path.
The entire month of May passed by while he was meditating. On the first day of June, when he was in seclusion, he suddenly saw a flash of light outside the main residence.
His heart was moved. He got up and walked outside, only to see a Taoist standing there. After seeing him, the Taoist bowed to him and said, "Governor Zhang, Xuanting has allowed you to recruit the Wei Army. Today, I have specially delivered the document." He reached into his sleeve and took out a scroll. He then let it float over.
Zhang Yu reached out and caught the scroll in front of him. He said, "Thank you for your trouble."
The Taoist said, "I have a question. Where does Governor Zhang plan to use these people?"
Zhang Yu replied, "Over the years, the lower levels of the Kui Residence have been invaded repeatedly. Behind them, Shang Chen Tian and the Evil God are behind it. I thought that this generation must have a plan, so we need to block this loophole. Now that the guards are lacking, if we ignore it, the remaining few lower levels will be lost because of it, so I arranged for these soldiers to stay here."
The Taoist nodded and said, "Governor has a long-term plan. This is what the Military Affairs Department should do. However, it is Hong Yuanqiu's negligence that has troubled you."
Zhang Yu said, "There are many planets in Kui Mansion and the area is vast. Outside the gathering place is the wilderness. We have always been short of manpower. Recruiting people from the inner layer is not the safest solution. I think that it would be best if we can train the younger generation in Kui Mansion."
The Taoist shook his head and said, "This is extremely difficult. The outer layer is evil outside the void. Cultivation is twice as difficult as the inner layer. However, the creation is flourishing. Especially now that we have the medicinal oil for military uniforms provided by Yujing Tenki-in Hall, the loss of the creation will be greatly reduced. I can use this to quickly expand the manpower. The problem of patrolling can be solved."
Zhang Yu said, "There are advantages and disadvantages. In this way, the Military Affairs Department's dependence on the creation will increase."
It was fine to strengthen the creation, but they could not completely overturn the original. Otherwise, as time passed, the influence of the cultivators in the outer layer would gradually weaken. If so, more and more cultivators would leave the outer layer, and the creation would take over. However, if the creation was not suppressed, it was hard to say what would happen in the end.
The Taoist did not care much about this. He said, "This is something that cannot be done. How can everything in the world be perfect? Moreover, every planet has the incarnation of Xuan Zun in charge. There is no need to fear any chaos."
Zhang Yu did not say anything else. He just wanted to express his attitude today. It was hard to say what changes would happen. Moreover, he felt that it was good to have the incarnation of Xuan Zun in charge. However, the incarnation of Xuan Zun was mainly used to defend against external threats and did not pay attention to internal threats.
If it was only internal changes, it would not be a problem. However, there were also forces like Shangchen and the Evil Gods who were constantly watching. If there were internal and external disturbances, it would be hard to say.
The Taoist bowed and said, "The matter has been explained. This humble Taoist will take his leave."
Zhang Yu raised his sleeve and bowed. He said, "Envoy, take care."
The Taoist's body scattered and turned into a ball of light that flew away.
Zhang Yu waited for him to leave. Just as he was about to return to the house, he saw a movement in the flowerbed. He looked over and saw the jade flower fox running out with a groundhog in its mouth. It ran all the way to the porch.
Qing Xi sat there with her arms crossed and one hand supporting her cheek. There was a plate at her feet. She was looking at the cubs licking the food with great interest.
When she saw the jade flower fox coming back, she patted its head twice. It was obvious that the woman and the fox had become familiar with each other. Therefore, the latter did not reject her touch.
Zhang Yu withdrew his gaze. At this time, the curtain was stirred. Tanquan City was like spring all year round. Even at night, there were waves of warm wind. He looked at the night sky and felt as if he was in Auspicious Light City in the Eastern Court.
After a while, he looked at the empty space beside him and said, "Deacon Xu, how is it?"
With a flicker of light, Xu Chengtong appeared there. He cupped his fists and said, "Patrol Officer, the enlistment troops from that encampment will be mobilized in a few days. I noticed that Military Marquis Wu was exceptionally nervous. This is extremely abnormal for a soldier who has fought many battles. I predict that this person will definitely make a move this time, but I didn't sense the existence of that thing. Perhaps it's concealed by some special means.
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "This matter is urgent. I will go with you."
He also wanted to figure out who was behind this matter.
Although no one spied on him these few days, he had a feeling that the other party had not given up. That person was most likely in the same group as the mastermind behind the scenes who wanted to mess up the Heavenly Gates.
After making up his mind, he and Xu Chengtong leaped into the air and flew toward the sky.
Because the two of them were too fast, they disappeared in a flash. No one in the courtyard noticed them. Only the jade flower fox looked at the place where Zhang Yu was originally standing in confusion.
Military Marquis Wu's encampment was not far from Tanquan City. Therefore, the two of them only flew for ten breaths and arrived in the sky above the encampment.
Zhang Yu looked down and saw a flying boat on the boat's rooftop. The soldiers in the encampment were also lined up neatly and were orderly entering the flying boat through the stairs.
There were also several middle-level cultivators flying around on guard, but they did not notice the two of them.
After a few glances, Xu Chengtong pointed in a certain direction and said, "Patrol Officer, it's this person."
Zhang Yu looked in the direction of his finger and saw a tall and sturdy armored soldier. His mouth was tight and his face was serious. However, his eyes were flickering and his temples were sweating slightly. He seemed to be nervous.
After a glance, he said, "This person's heart is full of worry and fear. He is afraid that after handing over the item, he will be dealt with like the creator."
Xu Chengtong said, "Then if he is smart, he will put the item somewhere and let the person who comes to take it. This way, he can ensure his safety."
Zhang Yu said, "I'm afraid this is not his choice. Moreover, if the person who comes really wants to kill him, whether he hands over the item or not, the result will be the same. "
Xu Chengtong immediately said, "Patrol Officer is still right."
While the two of them were talking, a light flashed not far away. A young cultivator came out from it. This person looked at Zhang Yu in awe, then bowed his head and said, "Greetings Patrol Officer, greetings Deacon. “
Xu Chengtong's face was solemn, and he said, "After I left, was there anything unusual?"
The young cultivator hurriedly said, "This disciple has been watching. Except for the soldiers in the station, no one from the outside has come into contact with this person. The items on his body are still as many as before. I can't see where he put them."
Xu Chengtong said, "Then where did he go this time? Have you found out?"
The young cultivator said, "This has been investigated. This time, he is going to the southeast of the Bright Moon Land State. He said that he is going there to clean up a descendant of the Evil God who brought believers into the Earth Star."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. If there was a meeting place there, perhaps there would already be arrangements at this moment. He said, "Deacon Xu, I will go there to take a look first. You take someone to watch here. If there are any unusual movements, report to me."
Xu Chengtong hurriedly bowed and said, "This Xu obeys."
After Zhang Yu finished his instructions, his figure flickered slightly and disappeared. There was only a cloud of misty jade mist slowly drifting in his place.
After he left, Xu Chengtong straightened his back and said to the young cultivator fiercely, "All of you, watch closely for me. This is a matter that the Patrol Officer values. Don't make any mistakes. If there is any negligence, I can bring you out, and I can also send you back!"
