News of Jiang Dingyi being near the city gates quickly spread to the Commissar. The assassination of a yamen official was no small matter. The Commissar reacted quickly and ordered the yamen to investigate the matter thoroughly. Liu Fengquan even made a personal trip to Xuanfu.
After sending Liu Fengquan off, Xiang Chun returned to the main hall and sat down in his seat.
He said, "Junior Brother Zhang did well this time. If it weren't for him, Manager Jiang might not have been able to keep his life. I didn't expect the Church of Heavenly Balance to mobilize a god's incarnation. It seems like the Army of God's retreat has caused too many people to have second thoughts."
Xu Ying said, "Zhang Yu went there because Senior Brother arranged it well."
Xiang Chun shook his head. "Junior Brother Zhang's will is firm and resolute. His swordsmanship is superb, and he's also diligent in his cultivation. On top of that, he has a sharp sword. It was only because of these factors that he was able to kill a god's incarnation. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to do it."
Xu Ying changed his mind. "Actually, that Bai Qingqing isn't bad either. After returning this time, he completed a few tasks Xuanfu assigned to him. I'm planning to send him out to gain experience in a couple of days. If it's just Zhang Yu, I'm afraid he'll become too famous and be targeted by that traitor."
Xiang Chun nodded in agreement. Judging from the strength Zhang Yu had displayed so far, that traitor would definitely be worried that he would become a threat to him once he matured. Perhaps he was already paying attention to him.
However …
He shook his head. Zhang Yu had studied many seals, but none of them were related to finding the mysteries. This meant that the possibility of him reading the second chapter was extremely small. This meant that Xuanfu could only use him at this stage.
He retracted his thoughts and returned to the main topic. "Duke Liu's residence hopes that we can send more people to protect the yamen officials to prevent this kind of thing from happening again."
Xu Ying said unhappily, "Does he think that god's incarnations are weeds on the side of the road? Do they think they can be touched just because they want to? Moreover, to deal with such an enemy, only Xuanxiu, who has read the Second Dao Chapter, can guarantee that we will be safe. Where do we get so many people? "
In Xuanfu, each and every one of the cultivators who were able to view the second chapter of the Great Dao were the elites of Xuanfu. Each and every one of them occupied a key position. It was very difficult to use it. What's more, they were still preparing to do something, so they couldn't use it easily.
Xiang Chun said in a low voice, "According to him, if he can't protect the officials of the yamen, he will ask the Army of God to come out."
Xu Ying said angrily, "How can you do that?"
The Army of God had retreated this time because their arrogance for a long time had made the Protectorate unhappy. Thus, they had joined forces with the Xuanfu to suppress them and take away some of their authority.
However, if they were to release him, they would probably return to the previous situation. Then, wouldn't their recent efforts be in vain?
Xiang Chun made a very calm judgment and said, "So, after thinking about it, I think it's better to let the disciples who have entered Xuanfu in recent years go to the various yamen to take charge."
Xu Ying said in surprise, "Them? Senior brother, are you confused? How can they deal with this kind of thing? "
Xiang Chun looked up at him and said, "You and I know what these disciples are like, but Duke Liu's residence doesn't know. Junior brother, didn't you say that god's incarnations aren't that easy to encounter?"
Xu Ying was stunned and immediately reacted. He said hesitantly, "This, senior brother, will it …"
Xiang Chun said in a low voice, "This is the best way. Let's get through this period of time. When we transfer people, we don't have to worry. Moreover, this time, with Manager Jiang as an example, I'm afraid that not many officials will dare to go out casually. If someone really goes out, as long as they don't leave Auspicious Light City, I will personally watch over them. So, junior brother, you can rest assured."
Xu Ying thought about it and said in admiration, "Senior brother, you always have a way. No matter how difficult something is, it can't stop you."
Xiang Chun flipped through the thin book on the table and said, "Junior brother Zhang protected Manager Jiang this time. We should also bestow a seal to him."
Xu Ying said, "The 'Seal of the True Embryo' that Senior brother gave last time was a superior seal. If you bestow another seal this time, will he be able to cultivate it?"
Xiang Chun said, "Xuanfu's rule is that meritorious deeds are rewarded. Even if he can't cultivate it now, he can slowly read it later."
Xu Ying didn't care and said, "Senior brother, you have the final say on this."
He didn't care how many seals Xiang Chun gave Zhang Yu. Even if he gave them all, he wouldn't mind because a person's spirit energy was limited. No matter how many seals one received, it was useless if one couldn't find the profound principles.
Moreover, in his opinion, no matter how much Zhang Yu cultivated, he couldn't compare to Ji family's young master. The stronger Zhang Yu was now, the more advantageous it was for his plan. If Zhang Yu could really read these seals, he would be happy to see it.
In the rear garden of the Official Office, Zhang Yu stood beside a gurgling stream. A jade-colored radiance flickered on his body.
He looked at the clear water flowing under his feet. The pebbles below were incomparably smooth, and golden ripples rippled on the surface of the water. A leaf floated over from upstream. It paused for a moment at the bend of the water flow, then spun in a circle and disappeared into the distance.
Ever since he used the Seal of the True Embryo to fight against God's incarnation, he could vaguely sense that he seemed to have touched upon something these days. It seemed to be the omen of breaking through some kind of physical barrier.
However, this was what the old cultivators said. Xuanxiu didn't pay attention to this.
He believed that this feeling wasn't without reason. Thus, after some consideration, he decided to return to Xuanfu and ask Fan Lan for guidance.
Now that the lecture was over, Jiang Dingyi had already returned to the Official Office. He wouldn't be going out for some time.
The failure of the Church of Tianping this time not only caused them to lose a lot of manpower, but they also lost their god's incarnation. They wouldn't have the strength to return for some time. He could leave for some time.
After making up his mind, he returned to the Official Office. He first greeted Jiang Dingyi, then returned to his residence in the Education Palace. When he entered the courtyard, he found Miao Danjun sleeping on a high basket.
Li Qinghe said, "Miao Danjun has been sleeping ever since you left last time. He's been sleeping for several days now."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. He knew that Miao Danjun truly treated this place as his home.
This little leopard anchor was actually still in its infancy. It should've been able to sleep for a long time. It was just that it hadn't received enough food before, and the place it lived in wasn't safe, so it couldn't grow up peacefully. Now that it was here, it had a relatively stable environment. After adapting for a while, it could finally relax.
He told Li Qinghe that there was no need to disturb it. He also handed over the articles he'd written in the Official Office over the past few days. He went into his room to wash up and change into a new set of Daoist robes. Then, he left his residence and headed for Xuanfu.
When he arrived at Xuanfu, he immediately went to look for Fan Lan.
Fan Lan just so happened to be giving guidance to some disciples. He waited outside for a while. When all the disciples had left, he walked in.
Fan Lan immediately saw the light on his body. She was shocked. She asked tentatively, "It seems that Junior Zhang's comprehension of the 'Seal of the True Embryo' went very smoothly?"
Zhang Yu nodded. "It was a fluke. I've already cultivated the Seal of the True Embryo."
He didn't plan on hiding this. The greatest benefit of Xuanxiu was that only he knew how much Divine Essence he had gathered. Moreover, according to Xuanfu, the minimum requirement to cultivate this seal was to view the Divine Essence of six seals.
It had been almost two and a half months since he'd obtained the seal. Judging from the aptitude he'd shown before, there was no problem at all.
Fan Lan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. When he'd handed the seal to Zhang Yu, he'd been worried that the latter would fall into this deep pit. He didn't expect that he'd really succeed.
It should be noted that only two people in Dongting Xuanfu had managed to do this before, and they'd spent a long time pondering over it. As a result, they'd never had the chance to come into contact with the second seal.
Now that Zhang Yu had succeeded so quickly, it meant that he hadn't spent too much Divine Essence on it. There was still hope for him to find the mystery.
"No wonder. I was wondering how Junior Zhang could kill the God's incarnation this time. With the help of the Seal of the True Embryo, you can indeed do it. I'll go see Senior Zhang later and tell him the good news."
While speaking, Fan Lan walked back and forth happily.
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Senior Zhang Yu, this matter can wait. I came here this time because I have something I'd like to ask you."
When Fan Lan heard this, he immediately stopped and returned to his seat. He said seriously, "Junior Zhang, tell me, what is it?"
Zhang Yu raised his sleeves and clasped his hands together. He bowed and said, "May I ask Senior Zhang Yu, what is the mystery?"
At this time, on the other side of Xuanfu, Xu Ying walked into a secret room in Mount Qi.
A young scholar around the age of 20 was seated here. At this moment, he was flipping through a jade scroll. However, he wore a mask on his face, so it was impossible to see his exact appearance. When he saw Xu Ying enter, he stood up and bowed, saying, "Martial Uncle Xu."
Xu Ying made a gesture of holding him up. "No need for formalities. How's your cultivation going?"
The young scholar said, "I've done as Senior Zhang instructed."
"Very good." Xu Ying was obviously satisfied. He sat down. "If there's anything you don't understand, you can tell me."
The young scholar bowed. "Junior Zhang does have a question."
Xu Ying said seriously, "Ask."
The young scholar stood up and said, "Junior Zhang has been following Senior Zhang's instructions. I've been reading the 'Will Seal' chapter. As Senior Zhang said, as long as I read one more chapter, I might be able to come into contact with the mystery and break through the barrier. I'll be able to read the second chapter. But Senior Zhang, why do you want me to stop and change to another seal?"
Xu Ying said, "Actually, even if you didn't ask, I would have explained it to you." He gestured. "Come, sit down. I'll explain it to you."
The young scholar thanked him and sat down. His sitting posture was very proper. There was nothing wrong with it.
Seeing this, Xu Ying was even more satisfied. He said, "The Six Righteous Seals are the cornerstone of our Xuanxiu's cultivation. It's also where the roots are located. Every branch that grows out of the roots, as long as it reaches the top, it has a chance to come into contact with the mystery and enter the second chapter. Think about it, if one root goes out, two roots, or even three roots go out together."
The young scholar thought for a while and said, "I think I understand Senior Zhang's meaning."
Xu Ying said, "Using the length of one seal to see through the mystery, that's the wisdom of the predecessors. But it's also a shortcut. It's a mediocre method. Every person's body has a different foundation. After breaking through the barrier, the results will naturally be different. Let me ask you, how can a seedling of rice be compared to a tree of pine and cypress? "
The young scholar nodded. "That's why Senior Zhang wants me to try my best to study and cultivate the seals derived from the Righteous Seals to the peak."
Xu Ying praised, "That's right." He looked at the young scholar, his eyes full of encouragement. "You're born with abundant divine energy. You're a wonder of the world. With the Xuanfu's secret method that I've imparted to you, it's not difficult to find the mystery. What you have to do is to allocate all your divine energy appropriately. Try your best to cultivate the Righteous Seals to the peak and then look for the mystery to break through. If you do that, once you succeed in the future, no one in the Xuanfu will be able to match you! "
