The next day, the matter in the newspapers began to ferment.
Not only in the Education Palace and the government, but in the streets and alleys, the matter between Qiu Xueling and the Zhan father and son was being discussed.
However, because Qiu Xueling's matter had happened so long ago, the author of the article had not been named, and the evidence was insufficient, so some people suspected that someone was deliberately slandering him.
But with the appearance of one person, the truth was revealed.
This person was the child who had knocked on the door when Qiu Xueling and Cai Sheng's wife were having an affair.
He was only sixty-seven years old this year. Although he had just entered old age, he was still full of energy. He walked as if he were flying, and it was not difficult for him to remember things.
He did not stand up back then because he was still young. Moreover, he had told his parents about the matter, but he had been severely beaten and told not to speak of it.
He had buried the matter in his heart and never mentioned it to anyone else.
In the blink of an eye, sixty years had passed. It was not until a few days ago that someone had come to him and asked about the matter that he revealed his secret.
Moreover, his mother was not yet ninety years old, and her body was very healthy. She was not deaf and did not see clearly, which could prove that such a matter had indeed happened. However, because the war was imminent and they were afraid of Cai Sheng's death, they did not dare to speak of it.
Moreover, the people of Tianxia were long-lived. Of Cai Sheng's neighbors, apart from the men who had gone to the battlefield, most of the women were still alive. They still remembered that Qiu Xueling, who looked like Cai Sheng, had visited them.
Qiu Xueling claimed that he had fallen off a horse and broken his leg. However, from the old medical records from the Criminal and Justice Department, it was clear that his injury had been caused by a fall from a great height.
However, even though Qiu Xueling was detained in the Criminal and Justice Department, he denied it in every possible way. He insisted that it was his assistant who had stolen the jade pendant from him, and that it had nothing to do with him. As for the evidence of his injuries, it didn't prove that he was the one who had done it.
However, he had forgotten that there were supernatural powers in this world. The Criminal and Justice Department had a Xuanxiu who was good at searching souls.
However, this person mainly targeted heretics, and these methods were usually not used on people of Qiu Xueling's status. Fortunately, the Civil and Justice Department had a lot of evidence. After the matter was reported, the order came quickly.
That day, this Xuanxiu appeared and easily got the truth out of Qiu Xueling's mouth.
Now, the truth was revealed.
However, this matter did not end there. The aftermath would not be able to calm down for a long time.
At this time, Zhang Yu did not pay attention to the noise outside. Instead, he put on his Xuanfu Taoist robe and returned to Xuanfu.
As usual, he first went to the Affairs Hall to meet Xiang Chun.
Xiang Chun first congratulated him on his successful return, and then mentioned the last time he went out with Cai Pa.
"Junior Martial Brother Zhang, although we weren't able to complete the mission this time, we can't blame you for it. You were able to return safely, bring back the truth, and kill two Monk Hunjang. It wasn't easy at all. The Manor will reward you."
Zhang Yu: "Thank you, Senior Martial Brother Xiang."
Manager Xiang praised him with a gentle expression. Finally, he said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhang, Xuanfu has many things to do. I won't keep you here any longer. If you have anything you don't understand about cultivation, you can ask Junior Martial Brother Fan."
Zhang Yu stood up and bowed. Then, he took his leave.
Xiang Chun watched Zhang Yu leave and sighed. "This Junior Martial Brother Zhang is really talented. That Junior Martial Brother Bai is also very good. They are both rare talents. It's a pity to let them go like this."
Xu Ying walked out from the next room. When he heard this, he immediately became vigilant. He reminded, "Senior Martial Brother, you can't be soft-hearted. This is the strategy we decided on before. The worst thing is to change it halfway. Moreover, no matter how outstanding these two people are, can they compare to Martial Nephew Ji?"
Xiang Chun stroked his beard and said, "Even so, I think we should inform them about the traitor. We can't let them be kept in the dark."
However, Xu Ying held an opposing attitude and said, "This is indeed something we should tell them, but isn't it a little too early? It won't be good if the two of them lose their drive to improve because of this. "
Xiang Chun thought for a moment and admitted, "Junior Martial Brother, what you said makes some sense. However, the two of them have been in the limelight this time. They will need some time to settle down."
Xu Ying thought for a moment and said, "That's possible. From the seals they cultivate, their strength won't increase much in the short term."
Xiang Chun said, "Guo Shang sent me a letter just now, asking me to take him away. I was thinking that we could let Junior Apprentice-Brother Zhang stay with him for a while. This is also in line with how we protect the talents in the residence. Otherwise, no one would suspect anything."
Xu Ying agreed. "Senior Martial Brother's idea is good. There are falsehoods in the truth."
Xiang Chun shook his head. "If not for the urgency of the situation, who would be willing to let such talents be harmed? Let's hope they can get through this. "
After sighing, he said with a serious expression, "Junior Martial Brother, you and Junior Martial Brother Wang did well in eliminating EsGod. However, this is not enough. We still need to do something else."
Xu Ying saw his expression and said, "Senior Martial Brother, are you talking about that?"
Xiang Chun nodded slowly.
Xu Ying's eyes lit up. "Senior Martial Brother, have you finally made up your mind? This is something the Army of God has never done. If we succeed, they won't be able to make a comeback in the next few years. "
Zhang Yu left the Affairs Hall and went to the side hall of the Forest Park, where he quickly found Fan Lan. The latter smiled when he saw him. "Junior Martial Brother Zhang, have you seen Senior Martial Brother Xiang? Have you seen Head Xuan? "
Zhang Yu shook his head. "No."
Fan Lan was startled and frowned inwardly.
In the past, Xiang Chun would bring all the disciples who found Xuan Guang to see Xuan Shou. Since Zhang Yu was so outstanding, there was no reason not to bring him to see Xuan Shou. Could it be that there was a reason that he did not know?
He pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps Senior Martial Brother Xiang has other plans."
Zhang Yu did not pay much attention to this matter. He asked, "Has there been any news from Wen De recently?"
Fan Lan sighed. "His whereabouts are still unknown." He waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this. Junior Martial Brother Zhang, you've done well this time, and Junior Martial Brother Bai has done well too. Both of you did not disappoint Xuanfu."
Zhang Yu chatted with him for a while and found out that Xuanfu had uprooted a sizable heretical sect a few days before his return.
In this matter, Bai Qingqing had made use of his own talents and made a great contribution. However, in the past few days, he had used the excuse that he had been away for too long, missed his family, and went home to visit them. Therefore, he was not in the Profound Palace.
Fan Lan said, "Junior Martial Brother, since you've found Xingguang, you should know how to use it."
Zhang Yu raised his hand and bowed. "Please advise me, Senior Martial Brother Fan."
Fan Lan smiled. "It's not advising, I'll be leaving first." He took a book and patted it. "My past experiences are all written here. Junior Martial Brother can take it back and read it first."
He then pointed at a jade box on the table and said: "This is the Profound Palace's list of a few paths that are more suitable for your cultivation based on the past disciples' cultivation experiences. After you've taken a look at it, you can tell me which path you've chosen. The Profound Palace will then give you the corresponding seal to cultivate."
Zhang Yu accepted the two items, thanked Fan Lan, and took his leave. He left the side hall and returned to his room in Lin Yuan.
When he arrived, he was surprised to find that Zheng Yu was also there. He went up to greet Zheng Yu and asked him about it. It turned out that the latter had come back to cultivate because he had been accumulating spirit essence faster recently.
But at this point, Zheng Yu also complained a little. He said that he had only been cultivating the seal of the mouth imprint so far. He had not been able to sense the other six seals, so there were always people who teased him that he had inherited his uncle's talent. This was really too infuriating!
Zhang Yu consoled him a little, telling him that there was no need to worry about it. Anyone could sense the six seals, and it was just a matter of who was faster and who was slower. Moreover, he was still young, and his foundation had only been restored recently. When his essence, qi, and spirit were full, he would naturally be able to catch up.
Zheng Yu was very willing to listen to his words. After bowing seriously, he went back to continue cultivating.
Zhang Yu also returned to his room. After regulating his breathing for a while and calming his mind, he first took out Fan Lan's small book and flipped through it. It described many methods and techniques to use Xingguang, which really gave him a lot of inspiration.
After that, he opened the jade box. It was not a jade slip, but also a book. He picked it up and looked through it. He found that the things inside could actually be read together with Fan Lan's small book. It was no wonder that the latter had given the two things to him together.
It was also at this time that he realized that what he had learned before was mostly seals to strengthen his own body. And after being enlightened by Xingguang, he could read seals that involved techniques and could use them. And in these seals, as long as there was Xingguang, he could display all kinds of miraculous abilities.
Because the six seals each had their own Dao, they naturally had different paths.
The four seals of "Eye, Ear, Mouth, Nose" were mostly inclined toward the mystical senses at the beginning. After reading them, one could obtain the ability to see good and bad luck, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, track the enemy's tracks, and so on.
And the two seals of "Mind" and "Body" were inclined toward fighting with people at the beginning.
Then, which path should he choose first?
