When Bai Zhou arrived, Qing Mo was already standing in front of the lake at the entrance of the manor to greet him, as he had been informed by Mang Guang a few days ago.
Behind him were more than ten Artisans, six men and six women. They were all Artisans who were ordered in Mizar Academy.
When the cabin door opened and Zhang Yu disembarked, Qing Mo and the others bowed to Zhang Yu and said in unison, "Greetings, Sir."
Zhang Yu nodded and glanced at the Artisans. There were fewer people in the outer courtyard. These people were enough to fill the gap.
He led Xu Chengtong and the others into the manor and let Qing Mo arrange for them to rest. He went into the inner courtyard and changed into a loose Taoist robe.
Then, he sat down on a cushion in the viewing gallery and took out a Taoist book to read.
After arranging everything, Qing Mo turned back and saw Zhang Yu reading. He didn't dare to disturb him and stood at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for orders.
After a while, he heard a voice, "Come up."
He bowed, then walked to the viewing gallery and said, "Teacher."
Zhang Yu said, "You've been diligent in guarding the manor for the past two years. You should be rewarded. Is there anything you want?"
Qing Mo did not say any courteous words because he knew that Zhang Yu could see through his thoughts at a glance. He said, "Qing Mo has no other request. I just want to see if I can get a set of armor like Qing Shu and the others."
Zhang Yu nodded, "It's inconvenient for you to do things here without armor. Okay, I'll let you go to the Tenki-in Hall to order a set of armor."
Qing Mo was happy and bowed, "Thank you, Sir."
Zhang Yu said, "Tell me about the situation in the continent."
What he learned from Yun Chen was all general information. Moreover, Yun Chen was only in charge of the Daoist cultivators. The specific matters of the continent were the affairs of the two manors. It was not within his jurisdiction, so he did not talk much about it.
If he was Xuan Zheng, he wouldn't need to care so much. As long as there weren't any Creation Sect cultivators targeting cultivators, it would be fine. However, he had another identity as a Patrol Protector, so he had to get involved.
Qing Mo was already prepared. He gave an order, and a servant pushed a small cart over. There was a booklet on top of the cart. He said, "Mister, Qing Mo has recorded everything that we have found in the past two years in this booklet."
Zhang Yu glanced at them, and the booklets seemed to be moved by an invisible hand. They all flew up and opened up, circling around him in the corridor. In the blink of an eye, he had read all the information he had accumulated over the past two years.
After that, the booklet fell back and stacked on top of each other. Not only was it exactly the same as before, the edges and corners were even neatly aligned. Looking at it from all sides, it was as if it had been cut by a knife. Just looking at it made one feel very comfortable.
From the news that was sent up, there wasn't much movement within the continent for the past two years. That was because there weren't many battles, and they had regained contact with the Jade Capital, the people were more prosperous and stable than before.
As for the Tenki-in Hall, after the last incident, the Tenki-in Hall in the various regions were under the joint supervision of the Xuanfu and the Inspection Department. Now, they were very obedient.
Qing Mo said, "Mister, apart from the antiques that I have already sent over, I have collected some more recently. There are also some larger ones that are inconvenient to transport. Now, they are all placed in the large underground warehouse of the manor.
Mister, you have also asked me to collect clues about some ancient legendary artifacts. Qing Mo has found a lot of them in the past two years, but they are all things that can't be verified. "
Zhang Yu said, "It's fine. You can send these records to my study later. You have worked hard today. Go and rest first."
Qing Mo cupped his hands and respectfully left.
After letting him leave, Zhang Yu continued to sip his tea. After sitting quietly for a long time, he felt that something was missing. Only then did he remember that he didn't bring Miao Danjun with him.
He stood up and walked to the depths of the manor. Following a stone staircase, he walked to the storeroom. He didn't take the key, but instead reached out his hand and pressed down on the wide stone door. With the activation of his mind's light, the heavy stone door rumbled to the sides, revealing a huge secret cave built with heavy metal and stone.
He walked in and saw two statues that were ten feet tall. He didn't know where Qing Mo had brought them here, but he had never seen their style before. They should be the spoils of war after conquering a certain Divine Kingdom.
These things were so huge, and they were statues of EsGod. It was no wonder that they couldn't be transported to the outer layer.
He felt the heat flow coming from these things, and then turned to look at some of the objects placed on the bamboo shelves. Some of them were just ordinary antiques, and some of them had traces of heat flow coming from them.
After all, this was the inner layer, and it had been through several epochs. It was relatively easy to find antiques, unlike the outer layer, which was full of barren Earth Stars and ignorant believers of the Evil God.
Although he could also find something if he went to the lower layer, it was still a place where the Evil God had been operating for a long time. It couldn't be everywhere. Moreover, the Origin Energy he absorbed would weaken when he returned to the inner layer.
It was the most convenient to find these things in the Dongting Protectorate because Tianxia hadn't invested much power there. Instead, there were many EsGods and even ancient gods there.
In reality, the Dongting Protectorate only occupied a small area of the Earth Continent. East of Mount An, there were even more vast and unexplored areas.
While he was thinking, he absorbed the traces of heat into his body. At the same time, he came in front of the statue and pressed his hand on it.
Half a summer later, he walked out of the secret warehouse and returned to his study.
On the large table, there were some ancient manuscripts drawn on tree bark and beast skin. There were also many broken and cracked clay tablets, as well as some stone tablets with only a few pictures and symbols. These should be the clues about the divine artifacts that Qing Mo had collected.
He looked carefully. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to see anything. However, he specialized in ancient natural history, and as a cultivator, he could naturally distinguish some useful clues from these things.
As he was looking through, Qing Mo said from outside, "Mister, Mister Wan Ming is here to visit."
Zhang Yu said, "Got it. Ask him to come to the main hall first. I'll be there soon."
Qing Mo acknowledged outside the door.
Zhang Yu tidied up the things on the table and walked out of the study. He walked along the corridor to the main hall.
Daoist Wan Ming was standing there waiting. Seeing him come out, he became spirited and cupped his hands. "Xuan Zheng!"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Wan Ming, sit down and talk."
Daoist Wan Ming nodded and sat down. He sighed and said, "I haven't seen Xuan Zheng for a long time. Although I'm in the Qingyang Upper Continent, I still heard about Xuan Zheng from Yun Xuan's letter. Fellow Daoists, when you heard it, you were also overwhelmed with emotions. You couldn't help but remember a few years ago when you followed Xuan Zheng to conquer the Shuang Continent and quell the internal troubles."
Zhang Yu looked and said, "Fellow Daoist Wan Ming, are you here for the new Xuan Zheng?"
Daoist Wan Ming didn't deny and said frankly, "I can't hide it from Xuan Zheng. I was indeed entrusted by fellow Daoists to come here. Xuan Zheng, although Xuanting sent Wei Gao here, he is a true cultivator and won't really think for our generation. Only with Xuan Zheng in this position can fellow Daoists be at ease."
Zhang Yu said, "How can I decide the position assigned by Xuanting in private? Fellow Daoist Wan Ming, I know what you mean. You can go back and tell fellow Daoists that you don't have to worry too much. I have already told Yun Xuan about this matter. He will do his best to protect you.
If there is really a problem, you can also come to the outer layer to find me. As Xuanting's patrol, I won't ignore fellow Daoists. "
Daoist Wan Ming himself trusted Zhang Yu very much, but the others were not at ease, so they entrusted him to come here. However, with this promise, he also felt that he could give an explanation when he returned.
Moreover, he knew that many Xuanxiu Academies had been established in various continents. This was proposed by Zhang Yu and built by Yun Chen himself. As long as Yun Chen was still in office, there was no need to be afraid that this matter would be overturned.
If there were no big changes, in a few years or even a few decades, there would be more Xuanxiu appearing in the continents. At that time, there would be no need to be afraid of what others would do to Xuanxiu.
Therefore, he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will go back and tell fellow Daoists about Xuanzheng's intentions."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Since fellow Daoist is here, then stay in the manor for a few days. I also have some things to ask fellow Daoist."
Daoist Wan Ming gladly complied.
That night, Zhang Yu hosted a banquet in the manor to entertain Wan Ming. After the banquet, he went back and continued to look through the clues recorded in the ancient text. He was able to sort out some clues. It was not until late at night that he returned to the quiet room to cultivate.
The next morning, when he came out of meditation, he suddenly felt something and walked towards the corridor. He saw a Daoist with a sword on his back standing on the corridor, looking at the lake and mountains in the distance.
He said, "Senior Martial Brother's cultivation has improved again."
Tao Dingfu turned around and said with a smile, "It's just a small step. By the way, Master Yuhang of the Yi Luo Continent has achieved Xuan Zun. It is said that this has something to do with Junior Martial Brother? "
Zhang Yu said, "Senior Martial Brother is well-informed. I did have some dealings with this person when I stayed in the Yi Luo Profound Realm some time ago. Does Senior Martial Brother know this person?"
Tao Dingfu laughed and said, "This is a famous expert and can be regarded as a cultivation senior. I have only heard of him, but I don't know him. However, Master Yuhang has a disciple who has been chasing after Junior Martial Sister Nie. Junior Martial Sister Nie recently wrote to me to complain, so I know a little."
Zhang Yu was a little surprised and said, "Oh? Senior Martial Sister Nie? Senior Martial Brother has Senior Martial Sister Nie's whereabouts? "
Tao Dingfu smiled and said, "We only exchanged letters before the New Year. At that time, she also went to find a way to pass on her own under Master's instructions.
However, she was much luckier than me. In the early years, she was valued by a senior. That senior personally took her away and gave her careful guidance. It is said that he wanted her to inherit a method.
Now Junior Martial Sister Nie is in Yujing. A few days ago, she sent a letter to invite me to be a guest. I think she must have something to do. I am preparing to go there. Junior Martial Brother has never been to Yujing before. Do you want to go with me this time? "
