At the end of the road, a man in a cloak and a bamboo hat was slowly walking over.
This person's aura was a little strange, but also a little familiar.
Zhang Yu waved his hand to the coachman to let him go first, and then turned around to greet him.
The man walked up to him, stopped, and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Zhang, are you looking for me?"
Zhang Yu raised his hand and saluted, "Senior Brother Cai, I have a few questions I want to ask you."
After he decided to use the Hunshi chapter to ask about the next chapter, he asked Li Qinghe to take out the secret signal and bone whistle he used to contact Cai Pa last time and put them on the osmanthus tree in front of the Marquis Residence.
He believed that as long as Cai Pa saw it, he would be aware of it.
Sure enough, Cai Pa came to find him.
Cai Pa said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Zhang, I am very grateful that you didn't take me back to Xuanfu last time, but I don't want my daughter to be involved. She has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Yu said seriously, "Senior Brother Cai, don't worry. I will never get involved with irrelevant people."
Cai Pa looked at him and nodded, "I believe Junior Brother Zhang. Let's talk somewhere else."
Zhang Yu had no objection.
After discussing for a while, they went out of the city and came to the place where they talked last time.
Cai Pa looked at the sea not far away and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, this is a desolate place. You can ask me anything, but I can't guarantee how much I know."
Zhang Yu pondered for a moment before he said, "Senior Martial Brother Cai, what I want to ask is, how do Undivided Chapters Cultivators surpass the limit of the Dao chapters and proceed to the next chapter, Observation Chapter Seal?"
Cai Pa looked at him in surprise. At first, he thought that Zhang Yu might have taken over some assignment from Xuanfu, so he tried to ask him some inside information about Monk Hunjang. He didn't expect to be asked this question.
He frowned and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, do you want to switch to the Hunshi chapter? I have to remind you that this is not a good path. "
Zhang Yu said, "I don't mean that."
"Then you are …"
Zhang Yu said, "I have my own reasons for asking about this. It's not convenient for me to say it, but it's definitely not to become a Monk Hunjang."
Cai Pa looked at him. She believed what he said.
After all, Zhang Yu had a bright future in Xuanfu, and he was a rising star. Most of the people who turned to study handwriting were failures. There was no need for Zhang Yu to do this kind of thing. Since Zhang Yu didn't want to mention the specific reason, he didn't want to get to the bottom of it.
He thought for a moment and said, "Junior Brother Zhang, I'll tell you what I know. No matter what a Monk Hunjang wants, he must have a strong desire in his heart, which is the so-called obsession. The strength of this desire determines what you want. Therefore, if a Monk Hunjang wants to see the seal of the next chapter of the book, he needs to have a strong desire and obsession. "
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "When I fought with Zang Shu back then, he mentioned this. He said that as long as one has enough desire, one will be able to find what one wants. However, I feel that he only found what he thought he wanted, but in reality, that was not the case."
Cai Pa agreed and said, "That's true. I tried to understand this person later. His desire is not so much a desire as it is a kind of interest and hobby. But it's also because of this that he hasn't been deeply affected by the Great Chaos."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Senior Brother Cai, are you saying that if one's obsession is too strong, it will affect the Great Chaos?"
Cai Pa shook his head and said, "That's not the case. No matter how we ask the hunjang, the foundation of us cultivators still lies in our divine essence. The more things we ask for, the more divine essence we have to pay.
If there's enough divine essence, the hunjang will give you a seal that matches your own understanding. But if there's not enough divine essence, the Great Chaos will fill the gap. If you're not careful, you'll become something that can't be called a human. "
Zhang Yu's eyes flickered. This was an extremely important piece of information. Zang Shu said that he would be affected by the Great Chaos, but he didn't say that he could use divine essence to ask for what he wanted without borrowing the power of the Great Chaos.
If that was the case, then if he had enough divine essence, he might be able to avoid being affected by the Great Chaos.
This should be correct. This was because when he read the hunjang previously, he didn't feel any power of the Great Chaos. That was because he didn't have too much obsession each time. At the same time, he didn't force it when he didn't have enough divine essence.
When Cai Pa said this, his expression suddenly became a little complicated. "But those powers that surpass common sense often come from the Great Chaos and not from your own understanding. Therefore, I think that if you completely reject the Great Chaos, then there's no need to change your cultivation to the hunjang."
Zhang Yu looked at him. If nothing unexpected happened, Cai Pa should have come into contact with the power of the Great Chaos. Otherwise, his aura wouldn't have changed. It was just that he didn't feel that it was too chaotic. He should have some restraint.
But he didn't expose it. In the process of interacting with Cai Pa, he didn't directly mention that the other party was Monk Hunjang.
Cai Pa also tacitly avoided this point.
Zhang Yu looked at the turbulent sea water in the distance and said, "After I left the Ji River that day, I killed a woman in white who came chasing after me. She can no longer be called a human. Not only her body, but I can also feel that her own humanity and emotions are gradually being obliterated."
Cai Pa could tell that this was Zhang Yu's subtle reminder to him. He nodded heavily, as if he was reminding himself, but also as if he was making a promise. "Junior Brother Zhang, I understand what you mean. My daughter is still here, and I still want to see my little grandson who has just learned how to walk grow up. I will try my best to live on as a human!"
The two of them talked for almost half a summer. After deciding on a way to contact each other, they said their goodbyes and left.
After Zhang Yu returned to the city, he went straight to the school.
At this time, the sky was already dark. Every house was brightly lit. Bright flying lanterns floated in the sky above each street. In the hundred years since the establishment of the Protectorate General, such a scene was seen every day. The people who lived here were always trying their best to shine.
After returning to the school, he went straight to Xuanfu and found Xiang Chun in the Hall of Affairs. After greeting Xiang Chun, he explained how Zhan Zhitong had exposed the God of Balance. Of course, he didn't mention Zhan Zhitong's name. He also handed over the items.
After a while, he came out of the Hall of Affairs. He didn't stay in Xuanfu for long and went back to his residence.
But this time, he could feel that after Xiang Chun learned of this matter, although he didn't hesitate to praise him, in reality, he didn't care much about it. In fact, he seemed to be very resistant to this matter.
He privately judged that Xiang Chun was probably doing something important here. This matter involved a lot of Xuanfu's power, so he didn't want to deal with the God of Balance right now.
He could understand this.
It was just that …
Many days had passed since Fan Lanshen asked for the order, but Xuanfu still hadn't replied. When he saw him just now, Xiang Chun didn't mention a word about it.
This made him determined to use his own method to find the mystery.
After returning to his residence, he wanted to go back and meditate. But Li Qinghe told him that not long after he left, another letter had been sent. It was from An Lu Residence and had been delivered to his study.
Zhang Yu asked Li Qinghe to rest. He went back to his study and sat down. He opened the letter box on the table and saw that it was indeed a letter from Zhao Xiangcheng.
The letter said that because Zhang Yu had killed the God's incarnation and become famous, Zhao Xiangcheng had persuaded the island lords of the An Lu Association to elect him as a "Scholar" at the beginning of next year to fulfill the promise he made to Zhang Yu.
Although the "Scholar" was only the first rank of the civil nobility, he had the right to participate in the discussion and enter the government as an official.
But it should be noted that the "government" here referred to the local government of Tianxia, and the "official" here referred to the local officials of Tianxia.
Therefore, as long as the "Scholar" was elected according to the etiquette of Tianxia, even if he went to the mainland, Tianxia would recognize him.
But at the same time, the conditions for the election of a "Scholar" were very harsh.
First of all, the person who was elected must be from Xiazi, have enough knowledge, and be proficient in Tianxia etiquette. Secondly, they had to be able to justify themselves and have achievements that were widely acknowledged. Lastly, they had to have enough reputation and not have any moral stains on them.
Right now, the oldest 'soldier' was the previous chief's father, Yao Laogong. He was already more than 120 years old. Sixty years ago, he was the one who oversaw Auspicious Light and helped the three governors transport supplies and military equipment, stabilizing the rear.
Because every "Scholar" had great reputation and experience, when these people gathered together, they represented a great power. Even the Governor-General could not treat them lightly.
It could be said that the annual "Scholar" would, to some extent, decide the direction of the Governor-General.
For example, this year, the Commissar and the traditionalists in Tianxia had used the "Scholar" to strip the Army of God of much of its power.
From this, it could be seen how important the identity of a "Scholar" was.
Zhao Xiangcheng had mentioned in the letter that he would have the newspaper office of the An Lu Association work with him. After half a year, it should be enough. But he reminded him to do his best to protect his reputation and be careful of the villains around him.
This was not without reason.
According to tradition, a "Scholar" could be elected every year. However, it was precisely because this identity was so important that it attracted the attention of all parties that in reality, it took three to five years for one to be elected.
It wasn't that the majority of these people had no achievements, but that they were burdened by their moral reputation.
It wasn't as if there were no such examples in the past. Originally, a person with a good reputation, because of the possibility of being elected as a "Scholar", would instantly stand at the heart of the storm. Oftentimes, a small flaw would be infinitely magnified by others.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Zhang Yu would bear too much pressure, Zhao Xiangcheng had said at the end of the letter that if Zhang Yu felt that this matter was inappropriate or that the time was not right, then he could write a letter to tell him that he could temporarily put this matter on hold.
Zhang Yu knew that this matter might attract the attention of various factions, but he had no intention of backing down. For no other reason than that the "Scholar" was recognized in Tianxia.
If there was a day when the Governor-General made contact with the mainland, then once he went to the mainland, this identity would be abnormally useful for both cultivation and travel.
