When they left, they took a boat. When they returned, Zhang Yu wrapped everyone with his heart light. In an instant, they were back on the shore.
Everyone cried out in surprise. Crossing such a long distance in an instant was something they had never experienced before. This time, they would have something to brag about when they returned.
At this time, someone looked back and cried out in surprise, "Look, that island is gone."
The man surnamed Lan also looked back and found that the island had disappeared. He said in a slightly disappointed tone, "It's gone."
Zhang Yu said, "This island shouldn't be here in the first place, it was built because of the object. Now that the object has been taken away, it has returned to where it should return to. It's like a kite in the sky, being forced to dance by the strong wind, the rope that was tied to it broke and it flew away."
The village elder arranged for people to receive them at the seaside. When everyone returned, he immediately brought people over. When the villagers heard the news, they also rushed over to watch the show. They stood in the distance and pointed.
The village elder rushed over. Seeing that everyone was fine, he was relieved. He said, "Superior Cultivator, Superior Hu, you guys came back so quickly. I thought it would take at least two or three days."
The village elder's son said, "Father, that's not true. We only stayed on the island for three days."
The village elder glared at him and said, "What three days? I only went back for two summers. I think you're out of your mind. "
The people behind the village elder all agreed, "That's right. It's only been half a day." "That's not necessarily true. I heard that the island is quite strange. Don't tell me you guys ran into evil spirits?"
Hu Wenli and the others all had strange expressions on their faces.
The village elder's son was a straightforward person. He was unconvinced and said, "But we clearly spent three days on the island!"
Hu Wenli was also a little nervous. He whispered to Zhang Yu, "We feel that three days have indeed passed. Patrol Officer, is there something wrong?"
Zhang Yu said, "Don't worry. It's just that your senses are wrong. There are no evil spirits on you."
Hu Wenli said, "Patrol Officer, are you saying that it's just our senses that are strange?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "That's right."
Hu Wenli sighed, "What a pity, what a pity."
Zhang Yu: "What's there to pity?"
Hu Wenli sighed. "If that island was still here, we could use it to study. One day could be used as three days. Who knows how many more things we could learn."
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "This item is related to the Evil God. If you want to benefit from it, you have to pay a price. There's no need to feel pity."
Hu Wenli was stunned. He thought about it and said seriously, "Xuanzheng is right. I was too greedy. I am still a government official. When I go back, I will copy the rules and regulations ten times to reflect on myself."
While they were talking, the man surnamed Lan pulled out a ten year old child from the crowd. He looked very sturdy and said, "Superior Cultivation, this is my grandson. His name is Lan Xu." He looked at the child and said, "Greet him."
The child answered obediently, "Advanced cultivation."
The man surnamed Lan said casually, "Advanced cultivation. From now on, this kid will be handed over to you. If you want to beat him or scold him, feel free to do so."
Zhang Yu looked at the child and saw that his talent was ordinary. There was not much difference between him and the average person. If he walked the path of cultivation, it would be very difficult to pass the Light of Heart. However, this child was the same as his father. There was something special about him. Perhaps he could walk another path.
He nodded and said, "That's good. Let him follow me for now."
The man surnamed Lan patted the child's back and motioned forward. The child walked over and stood obediently by Zhang Yu's side.
Zhang Yu looked at him and turned to Hu Wenli, saying, "Hu Zuowen, this time, thank you for your help."
Hu Wenli hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Xuanzheng, this lowly official did not help much." He hesitated and said, "I wonder if this lowly official can make a request to Xuanzheng."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "There's no harm in saying it."
Hu Wenli said, "Now that Qian Zhou and Biao Zhou have cultivation academies, if the students of Qi Zhou want to study, they have to cross the two prefectures. It's too far. Just now, I saw that Xuanzheng accepted that kid as his student. I wonder if Xuanzheng can send some advanced cultivators here to teach Taoism. I'm willing to convince the people of Qi Zhou to pay for the construction of the academies. The annual expenses do not need to be paid by the Xuanfu.
He paused for a moment and continued, "Our Qi Province is near the sea. Many people rely on fishing for a living, and they often go deep into the sea. Sometimes, they will encounter some monsters. If they know some Taoist techniques, they will have the power to protect themselves. They won't have to spend a large amount of money to hire those soldiers every year."
Zhang Yu thought for a while and said, "If the Qi Zhou yamen is willing to build the academies, then this matter will be simple. After I return, I will arrange for suitable people to come here to teach Taoism."
Hu Wenli was overjoyed. He cupped his hands and said, "Then I thank Xuanzheng on behalf of the people of Qi Zhou."
Zhang Yu got the things and did not want to stay here for long. He said goodbye to everyone here. Then his gaze fell and he said to Lan Xu, who was beside him, "Close your eyes."
Lan Xu obediently closed his eyes.
Then he felt his body floating. After an unknown amount of time, his feet landed on the ground. He heard a voice say, "Open your eyes."
He opened his eyes and found that he was already in an unfamiliar manor. His little face was full of curiosity.
Zhang Yu took him into the main hall. Qing Mo came up and bowed. He said, "Teacher."
Zhang Yu said, "This is my new student. He doesn't know much now. Take him down and let Qing Shu teach him something first."
Xuanxiu was not like Zhen Xiu. There was no master-disciple relationship between teacher and student. Xuanxiu never followed the rule of treating a teacher like a father.
The other party was only his student in name. There was no need for him to teach the knowledge of cultivation in person.
And before that, he had to read books first. If he couldn't even read well, how could he cultivate?
An Zhizhi could teach him the breathing technique directly because he could build a small flying boat at the age of twelve. He was a rare prodigy. The two could not be mentioned in the same breath.
After Qing Mo agreed, he took Lan Xu's little hand and led him down.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, returned to the manor's secret chamber and carefully set up a few protective and defensive array formations outside.
This matter was unusually smooth. It was unbelievably smooth. It was as if that thing was waiting for him to get it, so he had to be on guard.
After setting it up, he took out the foot-long golden box and placed it on the table.
Only then did he reach out and slowly remove the lid of the box. Inside was a layer of bright woven cloth, and the outline of a human was vaguely revealed.
He removed the cloth, revealing a white, chubby, sleeping baby with a tender face.
Its eyes were closed, and its six chubby little hands were clasped together on its belly. Its body was wrapped in a layer of soft gray cloth.
However, he could see that although this thing looked like a living person, it was actually carved out of some kind of unknown wood.
Most importantly, he felt a surge of heat from this wooden sculpture. However, this heat did not drift out. Instead, it was completely sealed within the sculpture's body.
He stared at the object for a moment, then took out the Golden Ring of Sealing. Then, he loosened his fingers and let the object fall onto the Evil Infant sculpture.
In an instant, a multicolored light appeared on the Evil Infant's body. Then, traces of heat leaked out from it. However, it felt very forced, as if it was squeezed out from a crack.
He could feel that if he took back the Gold Sealing Bracelet, the layer of protection around the statue would close up again and protect him from being destroyed.
This was the first time he had seen such a situation.
However, this did not necessarily mean that the EsGod behind it was stronger than the ones he had seen before. Perhaps it was because EsGod had poured more power into the sculpture, or perhaps this thing had existed for more than one era.
This was actually good news. It meant that this object might contain more Origin Energy.
However, he could not touch it directly. If he did so, it would be equivalent to him taking the initiative to accept it. If that happened, it might implicate the Evil God behind it.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw that the baby's eyes had opened at some point and were staring at him strangely.
He looked at it indifferently for a moment, then walked to the side and sat down. He slowly absorbed the traces of heat into his body.
However, at this time, he realized that his shadow on the ground was slowly growing four more arms.
He knew very well that if he was serious about this, or if he had the slightest doubt, then this matter might become real.
However, he was not moved at all. As long as the upper level power did not directly penetrate into his body, then there was nothing to be afraid of. Furthermore, he had the One Heavenly Primordial Water protecting him. Even Xuan Zun's incarnation might not be able to take him down in one go, let alone just a little bit of the Evil God's power.
For the next three days, he sat there and absorbed the heat flow that came from this place.
However, he also realized that as he sat in front of the sculpture, countless strange curses entered his ears. Although it did not have any effect on him, he had to divert his attention to resist it every time. These three days might not even have an effect on him for half a day.
In that case, he might not be able to obtain the Origin Energy contained in the sculpture even after several months. Thus, he had to find a way to suppress it.
He thought for a moment. If he went to the Ingenious Mysterious Realm, he could avoid the Evil God's power. However, he had a better place in mind.
After thinking for a while, he stood up and closed the golden box again. He walked out of the secret chamber and directly stepped out of the manor. Then, he leaped into the air and instantly left the continent and headed towards the Southern Wastelands.
After flying for a short while, he landed on a small hill. He looked around for a moment, then his figure flashed and he was already above an open space. He stopped for a moment, then fell down and silently sank into the ground. He entered a huge underground cave, surrounded by endless baleful aura.
He could see that at the end of the cave, there was a large jade plate erected. A blurry figure was bound on it, and there were two streams of black and red baleful aura surging around it.
This was the place where Patriarch Yuan Tong was imprisoned!
Not only was there baleful aura here, but there were also restrictions set up by Xuanfu. Even Patriarch Yuan Tong's power could not be released, let alone the Evil God's power.
He took out the golden box again and let it float in front of him. Then, he removed the lid. But at some point in time, the Evil Infant had opened its eyes again, and it was glaring at him at that moment.
He glanced at it indifferently, then raised his hand and pressed it.
