Zhang Yu was very clear that every place was tainted, even the Auspicious Light Capital that was shrouded in light was no exception.
Taiyang Academy was an institution established by Tianxia's Ministry of Rites a hundred years ago in the Protectorate General's Office. Therefore, as long as a student graduated from Taiyang Academy, not only in the Protectorate General's Office, but also in Tianxia itself.
Although the Protectorate General had lost contact with the mainland, the students of Taiyang Academy were still highly sought after and valued. Many of the officials who held important positions in the various offices of the Protectorate General had studied at Taiyang Academy before.
From this, one could imagine why someone would set their eyes on his book.
Unexpectedly, he did not feel angry or indignant at all. Instead, he was abnormally calm. Even he was surprised by this.
After self-examination, he realized that perhaps it was because he had embarked on the path of cultivation and possessed a certain amount of power. Therefore, he could use a more detached gaze to look at some things. Moreover, simply venting his emotions would not solve the problem.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Wen Wen, I have a copy of the book with me. Can you find out when the original book disappeared?"
The scholar had been observing Zhang Yu and purposely stood a little further away. However, at this moment, not only did he not explode in anger, he also did not scold him. Instead, he spoke to him calmly. He was very impressed by this kind of cultivation, but at the same time, he could not help but sigh.
He said, "The Wenxiu Academy has moved here for three years. During this time, no new books have been brought in. Since your book is not here, then it should have been gone at least three years ago."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. Three years ago, he was still traveling outside.
However, he later found out that at that time, the small town he was born in suffered from an extremely serious agricultural disaster. Large numbers of people were lost. In the end, the town was simply evacuated and the remaining people were relocated to other places.
However, because he was not in the town at that time, his name was not recorded in the new household register. He might have been treated as a missing person. Perhaps it was because of this that someone wanted his book.
Thinking of this, he looked around and asked, "Wen Wen, why did the Wenxiu Academy move here? This student remembers that this place should be near the Education Administration Office in the inner city. "
The civil official stroked his long beard and said, "Yes, the Wenxiu Courtyard used to be there. However, three years ago, a huge fire suddenly broke out and burned down the entire Wenxiu Courtyard."
He pointed at the surroundings. "Later on, I moved here. My colleagues were all afraid of trouble and found their own ways to leave. Only an honest person like me was sent here. It's funny, there's no way around here, there's only a vegetable field outside the door, but they built two more volcanic walls to seal me off, saying that they're afraid of another fire. I don't know what they're trying to hide inside. "
Zhang Yu asked, "So all the files here were added later?"
The civil official admitted, "Yes, it's all made up. But you also know that with this fire, it's normal to lose some things. It's inevitable that some parts won't match up with the original."
Zhang Yu nodded. He already understood. Now that he had asked around, there were no more clues to be found here. Thus, he clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Wen Wen. This student will take his leave."
The civil official raised his hand to send him off. He looked at Zhang Yu's departing figure and seemed to be talking to himself, "It's better to be muddle-headed. Don't take it too seriously, or else you'll lose even more things."
Zhang Yu's footsteps didn't stop at all. He returned to the carriage and said, "Go to An Lu Residence."
The wheels rolled and the carriage started moving again.
Zhang Yu sat in the carriage and pondered. Without the books, it meant that he couldn't enter Taiyang Academy. And if he couldn't enter Taiyang Academy, he couldn't continue studying the new law.
It wasn't like the Protectorate General hadn't had books stolen before. If he wanted to get them back, he had ways to appeal to the higher-ups.
However, even if this incident could be investigated, it would still take a year and a half. This was only the most optimistic estimate.
Removing a student's status was not something an ordinary person could do. The fire in the Wenxiu Academy three years ago made this matter even more complicated. There were some conspiracy theories. It was even possible that someone was trying to cover up something more important.
Thus, if he pursued the matter now, not only would he not get any good results, he would also be caught in an unpredictable whirlpool.
"Today is the fourth day of the second month in the Da Xuan calendar. After the tenth day, Taiyang Academy will no longer accept students. If I can't enter the academy before then, I'll have to wait for another year."
He couldn't wait that long.
He had to find another way!
He thought of possible countermeasures, but they were all rejected by him.
Just as he wanted to look at the scenery and change his train of thought, his eyes inadvertently swept across the newspaper beside him. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He reached out and took a newspaper that he had just seen. He found a piece of news and read it from beginning to end several times. He closed his eyes and thought for a long time.
When he opened his eyes again, they were shining brightly.
"Maybe I can start from this."
The carriage had stopped at some point. It was obvious that they had arrived at the destination. The coachman was a clever person. He seemed to know that Lu Sheng was thinking about something, so he tactfully kept quiet.
Zhang Yu looked out of the carriage window. Outside the stable, there was a stone arch bridge. There were willows on both sides, and below it, there was a gurgling stream.
Behind the bridge was the second Tianxia style building he saw after entering the capital. It was built against the inner city's platform. There were layers upon layers, and it had an unapproachable aura. The most eye-catching thing was the door with the cornice of six feet wide. On it hung a horizontal board with the words "An Lu Residence". There were many people going in and out of the door. Most of them were wearing traditional Tianxia clothes.
He got down from the carriage and tossed a gold ingot to the coachman. The coachman received it and thanked him profusely. He helped Lu Sheng move his luggage down, and said that if Lu Sheng still needed a carriage, he could find the old merchant from the carriage company in the west of the city.
After sending the coachman away, Zhang Yu walked across the arch bridge and showed the name card given by Zhao Xiangcheng in front of the door. Immediately, an old hall master came out to greet him and respectfully invited him in.
At this moment, on the wall of the outer city of Dan Port, a scholar in his thirties with dashing eyebrows and a round-necked green robe ascended a platform.
He saw the body of the Heavenly Salamander that was being carried to the dock at a glance. Its huge size also surprised him. He said, "Such a big spiritual monster?"
He frowned slightly and thought to himself, "Recently, Mr. Yao's family is seriously ill and can't manage the council. The people's hearts are in chaos. The Army of God suddenly got such a big credit. It's hard to guarantee that they won't ask for more …"
At this moment, a person dressed as a servant trotted along the horse path of the city wall. He didn't bother to wipe the sweat on his face. He bowed and said, "Yamen, a letter from Manager Zhao."
The scholar opened the letter. After reading the contents, he was both surprised and excited.
"This Heavenly Salamander wasn't killed by the Army of God? Instead, it's a young man who's not even twenty years old? "
He immediately took a hard charcoal pen from his waist and wrote a few sentences on the letter. He handed it to the servant and instructed, "Xiaowu, take this letter and find Chen Wenxiu of the Hanmo Newspaper House. Tell him to publish this matter as soon as possible. Remember, it has to be fast! I'm sure the Army of God will want to take the credit for themselves, so we have to be ahead of them! "
The servant said seriously, "Don't worry, Yamen Lord. I'll definitely pass on the message and the item."
After Zhang Yu entered An Lu Residence, Zhao Xiangcheng's name card came into effect. The hall master arranged for him to stay in the highest building. It had three entrances, inside and outside. It was spacious, bright, and well-equipped.
After bathing, he changed into a comfortable set of clothes and went to the balcony outside the building.
It was evening. A gentle breeze blew, and the afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the buildings below the city and the vast blue sea outside Dan Port. The scenery was magnificent and magnificent.
However, he knew that in the past twenty years, disasters had occurred frequently in many areas of the Protectorate General. The people had been scattered. It was far from being as peaceful and peaceful as it seemed.
How long could the beautiful scenery in front of him last?
He raised his hands. They were as white as jade and were flawless under the illumination of the sun.
This body was currently at the peak of its life. However, when a person was born, they were moving towards death. Under the scouring of the waves of time, there would be a day when they would decline.
If he wanted to keep all of this, he would need power that transcended the mortal world. Power that could change everything.
As for how he was going to enter Taiyang Academy this time, he already had a comprehensive plan. In order to ensure success, he had to use all the power he could.
He called out in his mind. The Chapter of the Great Way appeared in front of him along with the light. A few seal seals floated in front of him. The seal seals that he had infused with his Divine Vitality were especially bright in comparison.
Following his thoughts, the rest of the seal seals retreated. Only one seal remained in front of him.
The two words "Yu Yun" were engraved in this seal.
"Yu Yun" could create a unique rhythm in one's voice through a specific aura and sound. It could resonate with others during communication and thus be more persuasive.
Not only could this be used on humans, it could also be used on non-human creatures. He was able to imitate the sounds of the Heavenly Salamander and deceive this spiritual creature. This technique was also useful.
During the operation, this technique was even more indispensable.
He glanced at the Divine Vitality that he could use now. Under the guidance of his thoughts, he slowly infused it into this seal seal.
In a daze, he felt a subtle change in his body. His aura became smoother, and his thoughts became more active.
He casually recited a simple poem. He realized that he did not deliberately adjust it, but when he recited it, it had a clear cadence and a clear rhythm. There was a rhythm in his voice that made others feel happy.
In the past, it was not that he could not do this. However, he needed to focus his consciousness on it. Now, however, it was like breathing. It had almost become an instinct.
He felt that the improvement this time was not small. However, the Divine Vitality that had been replenished by half had decreased greatly again. He couldn't help but think, 'Looks like after the matter of entering the academy is resolved, I have to find more items that can replenish Divine Vitality.'
