The next morning, Zhang Yu woke up from his meditation. He walked out of the meditation room and came to the main hall. Through the open porch, he saw the branches and leaves of the flowering trees swaying in the wind. Soft petals fell down and floated into the distant sky.
He stared for a while, then returned to the table in the hall and sat down.
On the table were documents and letters from the past few months. Most of them were sent by the military, and only he, as a patrol officer, could read them. So, they were still sealed.
There were more than forty of these reports, far more than what he had seen before. This was enough to show that there was a lot of activity in the military during his absence.
He opened the letters according to the date and found that the Kui Residence had changed a lot in the past few months.
Although Hong Yuanqiu had been trying to suppress the voices in the military asking for the creation of military uniforms and medicinal oil, he couldn't stop it in the end.
Of course, this wasn't because he didn't handle it well, but because of the changes in the battle situation.
The battle at the Lou Residence was fierce, and they needed to mobilize a large number of reinforcements from the Kui Residence. The soldiers sent there had to fight with the enemy, but it was impossible not to give them the best armaments.
This was the general trend, and he couldn't do anything about it. For this reason, he wrote a letter to Zhang Yu to explain this matter.
After Zhang Yu read all the reports, he found that the intensity of the battle was far beyond imagination. The Kui Residence had made three large-scale transfers in a row, and half of the garrison in Lian Tian City had been transferred out.
Because a large number of soldiers were transferred out, this brought about an even bigger problem. The Kui Residence's defenses were relatively empty, so they couldn't take care of the lower levels that weren't valued much.
Therefore, the situation at the lower levels was even worse. The few lower levels that were under their control had almost all fallen. Only the Hong Yi Realm was still in the hands of the military.
Moreover, the reason why this lower level could still be preserved was because the military didn't play a big role in it. It was mainly because they relied on the people he arranged before.
After reading the reports, he moved them to the side and picked up the rest of the letters. Apart from the letters sent by Yu Ruiqing and the others, the rest were left by Zuo Daoist, mainly explaining the current situation at the Hong Yi Realm.
As Li Qinghe reported, the situation here was fine.
This was natural. Originally, with the support of Yingxiong, Heretic, Daoist Xingchuan, and the others, it was enough to prevent the believers of the evil gods from organizing an army through continuous guerilla warfare and harassment. Now, with the addition of thousands of Wei Clan soldiers, although it was not enough to reclaim this layer, it was not difficult to defend it.
After Hong Yuanqiu learned of this matter, although he could not transfer too many people to help them, he still provided them with a lot of help, including providing a large amount of medicine and preparing a sturdy military base to ensure that their bodies would not be disturbed when they projected their power.
After all, if this lower level was also lost, then the entire lower level of the Kui Residence would be lost. This wouldn't be good if news of this spread.
After Zhang Yu flipped through all the letters, he raised his head and glanced at Yimei City. In his heart, he felt that there were some things that he had to arrange beforehand.
After some thought, he ordered the servant waiting at the door to invite Xin Yao over.
After a while, Xin Yao arrived at the main hall. However, there was a Jade Flower Fox at her feet.
Zhang Yu could see that this was one of the cubs of the Jade Flower Fox. It was just that he had not seen it for a few months, and it was much bigger.
After Xin Yao walked into the main hall, she bowed to him.
Zhang Yu also raised his sleeve and bowed back, saying, "Senior Sister Xin, please take a seat."
Xin Yao thanked him and sat down. The Jade Flower Fox seemed to be a little afraid of Zhang Yu and hid behind her. She reached out and caught the little thing in front of her, saying, "Junior Brother Zhang, I see that this Jade Flower Fox is very spiritual and is quite close to me. I wonder if you can give it to me?"
Zhang Yu said, "That is because it is fated to be with Senior Sister Xin. This is also its good fortune. Senior Sister Xin, please keep it by your side."
Xin Yao said, "Then I thank Junior Brother."
After the servant had brewed tea, Zhang Yu asked, "Senior Sister Xin, do you have any plans for coming to the outer layer?"
Xin Yao said, "My side is in the outer layer, and I am not familiar with many things. I will only make a decision after I understand more."
Zhang Yu said, "I have a matter here. If Senior Sister Xin is willing, I would like to ask Senior Sister Xin for a favor."
Xin Yao looked at him and pushed down her glasses, saying, "Junior Brother Zhang, please speak."
Zhang Yu said, "The Heavenly Gates of the Western Vault Heaven are located in Bi Mansion, and it is convenient to travel between the various mansions. However, there are also many sneaky people who use this gate to escape from the various mansions. Last time, when I was chasing an enemy, he wanted to use this gate to get rid of me.
I will set up a station here, and it will be convenient for me to monitor. However, I still have something to do now, and I can't leave. Can I ask Senior Sister Xin to help me with this matter? "
Xin Yao said, "Junior Brother Zhang, you are too serious. This time, I have to trouble you to bring me to the outer layer. I am still thinking about how to repay Junior Brother's favor, so you can leave this matter to me. However, I am not familiar with the outer layer, and I am afraid it will delay things."
Zhang Yu said, "That is not a problem. I will send my capable servants to follow Senior Sister Xin. They have all been in the outer layer for a long time, and they are familiar with the matters here. They can be of help to Senior Sister Xin."
Xin Yao said, "Okay, I will accept."
Zhang Yu took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve and handed it over, saying, "The outer layer is mostly filled with evil from the void, and it can eliminate and kill supernatural beings. This pill can suppress evil from the outside, but it is different from the pills in the outer layer. This was given by Xuanting, but Senior Sister, please be careful not to take too much."
Xin Yao took the bottle and nodded. She clasped her hands together and bowed, saying, "Many thanks, Junior Brother Zhang."
After drinking some tea for a while, she picked up the Jade Flower Fox and left.
Zhang Yu looked outside and saw An Xiaolang playing with several Jade Flower Foxes. He gave an order, and the servant nodded and walked out.
After a while, An Xiaolang took off his shoes and walked into the hall. He bowed to him and said, "Student An Zhizhi greets Teacher."
Zhang Yu looked at him. Compared to before, An Zhizhi had grown taller. Originally, he looked a little thin and weak, but now, he looked a lot stronger. His cheeks had also become a lot rounder.
He said, "You've been here with me for more than half a year. Due to my worldly affairs, I didn't have the time to personally guide you. I only left a few books on breathing techniques for you to practice. What do you think of them?"
When An Xiaolang heard him ask about this, he said excitedly, "Teacher, after practicing those breathing techniques, I feel that my strength has increased a lot. I can also see further and hear more clearly. Sometimes, when I am in the courtyard, I can distinguish how many people are on the road from the sound of passing carriages and horses …"
In the past, he had always thought that once he cultivated the Heart's Light, he would no longer be able to create things, so he resisted cultivating. However, this was also because he was young and the first thing he came into contact with was creation. However, he actually never had an accurate concept of cultivation.
But after practicing this breathing technique, it seemed like a new door had been opened. Now, his body was light and graceful, and he could jump high and long with ease.
Now, every day, he would run up the wall and rush to the roof in one breath. After shouting a few times, he would slide down from above. It could be said that he was having a lot of fun.
Zhang Yu said, "Your aptitude is very good, and you are also very smart. If you cultivate, you will also be able to walk a long path. However, the path of the future depends on you. You can choose however you want."
An Xiaolang widened his eyes and said, "Teacher, are you saying that even if I want to create things, I can do it?"
Zhang Yu said, "I said, it's all up to you."
An Xiaolang was suddenly a little moved.
Zhang Yu said, "Back then, your teacher, Guo Ying, made an agreement with me. After a year, I will let you go back. However, I see that you have already learned everything you can. If you still want to learn the Dao in the future, it will be nothing more than self-cultivation. Therefore, you can go back."
When An Xiaolang heard that he was going to let him go, he immediately became anxious and said, "Teacher, I don't want to go!"
It was so good here. There was no one in the clan to discipline him. Every day, there was a group of Jade Flower Foxes and Miao Danjun to play with him, although Miao Danjun did not pay much attention to him.
However, other than not being able to create things, he had to complete breathing exercises every day. As long as he did not go too far, he could do whatever he wanted. Of course, he did not neglect his studies because of this. After all, he had already learned everything he needed to learn. What he could not learn for the time being might be something that others would not be able to learn in their lifetime.
Zhang Yu said, "If you are still willing to cultivate with me in the future, then you can come back at any time."
Now, he had a strong feeling that if he went back this time, then he was afraid that he would be far away from the path of cultivation from now on.
He said with great anticipation, "Teacher, is there really no way to create things and cultivate at the same time?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "In the past, cultivators would create their own artifacts. Now, many creators have also studied this method. However, if you want to combine the two and walk the path of creation, no one can do it at the moment."
An Xiaolang was not satisfied and said, "Even Xuan Zun can't do it?
Zhang Yu said calmly, "Those who are capable do not do it. At their level, there is no need to care about the creation in front of them, because it is meaningless to them."
An Xiaolang was a little depressed. If it was a year ago, he would definitely say that he could find a way to coexist. However, now that he had some knowledge, he could not say such words.
Zhang Yu said, "Go back first."
An Xiaolang looked up at him and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Teacher, is something going to happen?"
Zhang Yu looked at him. This student was indeed very smart. He said, "Go back and pack up. Take advantage of the good weather for the next two days, go back to the stomach and stay early."
An Xiaolang seemed to understand something and said, "Teacher, this student understands." He thought for a moment and said, "Teacher, this student will go back now. In a few days, this student will come back to see you." He bowed respectfully to the seat and then turned around and jogged out.
Seeing him leave, Zhang Yu got up and returned to the quiet room to sit down. He took out a jade box from his astral bag. After opening it, there was a spherical jade pill floating inside. He reached out and pressed it on the top of this Heaven Travel Dial.
Then, with a thought, this thing suddenly released a ray of light that enveloped his whole body. He suddenly felt as if he was sinking rapidly. In a daze, a power projection appeared in the Hongyi Stratum.
