In the upper-level Shouzheng Palace, Zhang Yu's clone sitting here received a submission and a mysterious message.
The former was presented by Lao Chengyi, the resident of Shouzheng, and the latter was sent to Nie Xinying by the Qingzhi Mysterious Secret given by him. Both of them are talking about the same thing, to thoroughly investigate the causes and consequences of the mysterious events within the Tianji Academy.
The reason why Nie Xinying wrote the letter was to tell him more clearly about the matter. In fact, she did not completely trust Lao Chengyi, so she sent him another copy here just in case.
He could understand this approach. If it was a normal incident, it wouldn't be necessary. However, Nie Xinying suspected that a certain high-level figure might be involved here. She didn't know if there would be some problems in the Shouzheng Station, and she didn't know if there would be any obstacles.
, just to be on the safe side, I sent the letter with green branches. This is better than doing nothing.
Also sent this time was the Taoist portrait that Lao Chengyi took.
He took it and opened it, his eyes flashed slightly, and what appeared in it was a portrait of a certain court official. It didn't matter how accurate the painting was, because he had his heart placed on it, so in his eyes
It's easy to tell who painted the picture.
These kinds of portraits were placed in the residences of the craftsmen involved. It is difficult to say that the two are not related, because the upper-class people would not be unresponsive to kneeling down to worship the upper-class people. Therefore, both Lao Chengyi and Nie Xinying believed that
This was something I couldn't handle, so I submitted it to him.
He thought for a moment and called out: "Fellow Taoist Mingzhou."
Ablaze with light, Taoist Master Mingzhou appeared at the side and said, "What are the orders from the imperial minister?"
Zhang Yudao: "I want to pay a visit to Changsun Tingzhi. I would like to trouble you to go to Yichang Taoist Palace to inform you first."
Taoist priest Ming Zhou said yes and disappeared. Not long after, he appeared in the palace again and said, "Tingzhi, the eldest grandson Tingzhi said he was waiting for you in the Taoist palace."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. His body remained motionless while his main body walked out of the Qingqiong Dao Palace. With a casual call, he put the portrait into his sleeve. Then in a flash of thought, it had already appeared.
In front of Yichang Dao Palace, his robes were fluttering in the air.
Changsun Tingzhi was already greeting each other in front of the palace. After the two people met here, they welcomed them in. In the main hall, the host and guest sat down respectively. Changsun Tingzhi asked: "I wonder what Zhang Tingzhi is doing now?"
Why are you here?"
Zhang Yu took out the portrait, placed it on the case, and said: "Because there has been something strange inside Tianjiyuan recently, the people from the Yujing garrison and the Shouzheng station jointly searched for it." He briefly explained the matter.
Next, he finally said: "It's just that every great craftsman involved found a portrait of Changsun Tingzhi, so I came here to ask."
Changsun Ting said in a calm voice: "Are these portraits? I know it. This is the time when the turbid tide came earlier. The upper and inner layers were intertwined, and the continents were also falling apart. Only Yu Jingshang
There is still some connection with the higher-ups.
At that time, Tianji's creation was in the ascendant and needed someone to protect it. At that time, there were many cracks and cracks. Just taking care of these places was already a heavy workload. Therefore, I made suggestions to Xuan Ting and finally left my portrait there. If there was anything
As long as you worship the portrait, I will be able to give you a helping hand after I get the feeling."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Since Changsun Tingzhi said this to Xuan Ting, it would be known upon investigation that it was not a lie. He thought for a moment and asked: "Changsun Tingzhi did this because
Were you optimistic about creation at that time?"
Changsun Tingzhi said: "Just as Xuanting supports Xuanfa, obtaining sufficient combat power is also one of the goals, and I think that creation also has this potential and can be supported. At that time, no one knew how far Xuanfa could go.
No matter what step I take, I don’t know if those extra Hunzhang monks will one day become a threat to me, Tianxia, due to the Great Chaos, so I must find another possible substitute."
Zhang Yudao: "Does Changsun Tingzhi think that creation is easier to control than Xuanfa?"
Changsun Tingzhi said lightly: "I do think so. Most of the creations need people to control them, and the people who control the creations have no power themselves, so it is easy to suppress them.
Even if the creation breaks through the level limit and the power reaches the upper level, the creations required will inevitably be more and more complicated, but all of these exist based on Tianxia, which requires the support of the entire Tianxia, so there is a lack of
If every link is broken due to this, it can be well controlled by Tianxia."
Zhang Yudao: "Does Changsun Tingzhi think the same way now?"
Changsun Tingzhi shook his head and said: "Now that I, Tianxia, have defeated the Shangchen and Huanyang sects, the great enemy has been eliminated. If I, Tianxia, do not have such opponents, there is no need to support the creation of the world."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "I also want to ask the elder Sun Tingzhi a question, why didn't the elder Sun Tingzhi take back those portraits?"
Changsun Tingzhi said calmly: "It's not necessary, because I don't know when the mysterious method will be powerless, then I need to support the creation to take over."
Zhang Yu glanced at him and saw that this person spoke frankly. And he could feel that in this person's eyes, both the mysterious method and the creation were regarded as tools for the powerful Tianxia. There was no difference between the two.
.Perhaps not only the mysterious method, but also the true method practiced by this person is also regarded in the same way.
He asked a few more questions, and Changsun Tingzhi answered truthfully. He stood up, bowed and said, "Now that my doubts have been resolved, I will take my leave."
Changsun Tingzhi also stood up and said: "I'll give Zhang Tingzhi a gift."
Zhang Yu said politely: "No need, Changsun Tingzhi, please stay." He walked out of Yichang Dao Palace, changed his mind, and returned to Qingxuan Dao Palace.
This time the incident has become obvious. Tianjiyuan actually used the portrait of Changsun Tingzhi as a shield to make people fearful and afraid to investigate further. Just looking at this matter, Changsun Tingzhi should not be involved.
The reason is also very simple. If Changsun Tingzhi did not want others to find out, he would directly take back the portrait. The people below would not be able to find it at all, and the matter would never be so rough, let alone any other believers in God.
If he was thinking about it, he waved his sleeves, and two streams of breath fell to the lower level, and he replied to Nie Xinying and Lao Chengyi each with a letter.
Nie Xinying had been waiting for news in Baizhen Mountain. At this moment, she felt the green branches move slightly, and a wisp of fresh air floated out, turning into a letter. She fell on the desk and picked it up immediately. However, after reading it, she felt slightly relieved.
Although as she said, with the energy of the Bai Zhen Mountain lineage, there is no fear of offending some people above. But if there is really a certain court official above who is behind this incident, it is indeed not that easy to deal with.
Although she also thought that this possibility was very small, she couldn't ignore it even if it was only a rare possibility. Now that she had clear evidence, she could really rest assured.
The woman in colorful clothes walked in at this time and said: "Senior Sister Nie, the duty officer who is guarding the station is here again."
Nie Xinying nodded and said, "Please."
When he was young, Lao Chengyi stepped inside. He also received a reply from Zhang Yu, and made it clear that he should only deal with the matter of Tianjiyuan and not interfere with other matters. Seeing this, he knew it, so he immediately came to see Nie Xinying.
After receiving the ceremony, he said: "Friend Dao Nie, I have to write back to the higher-ups. Who is not involved in this? Shouzheng has already asked. Tianjiyuan erected this portrait just to intimidate others and cover up its true purpose. I
There’s no need to worry about waiting.”
Nie Xinying said: "Thank you very much, the duty department, for informing me."
Lao Cheng said resolutely: "Where. I never expected that the people in Tianjiyuan are so courageous. They hang around under that portrait all day long. Don't you feel guilty?"
Nie Xinying said: "It's not surprising that the portrait will not be kept outside all the time, and I'm afraid they themselves don't think they are doing anything that violates Tianxia law."
Lao Chengyi nodded. When he came, he had read the interrogation report from the Shouzheng Station. The craftsmen involved in it thought that they had done something beneficial to Tianxia. On the contrary, they forgot that Tianxia was not allowed to perform private sacrifices.
of God's law.
In fact, most people have been bewitched by a certain spiritual method. This is not a magical power, but a kind of induction technique, so it is impossible to detect it.
Nie Xinying said: "Please ask the duty officer to come and take a look at this thing." She pushed forward the jade box that she had searched out from Tianjiyuan, and there was the white branch inside.
Lao Chengyi looked at it and said, "This is the artifact that entrusts faith, right?" He looked at it intently for a moment, and said in deep thought: "Not to mention the magical power condensed on it, this thing looks like a pure object.
Creation.”
The woman in colorful clothes said: "I had already given this to Wei Zongjiang when I came out. He said that it was supposed to be a trophy obtained after Qingyang Shangzhou destroyed Shuangzhou. Later, it was borrowed by Yujing Tianji General Institute for investigation. It is suspected that
It was restored by Master Xu himself. First, he and his students regarded it as their sustenance, and then slowly expanded to other craftsmen.
It’s just that Master Xu’s earliest memory about this part is also missing. I don’t know how he did it. I suspect that he received some kind of guidance, and it is possible that external forces did it through those casual cultivators.”
Lao Chengyi said in a deep voice: "Then the next step is how to disinfect this thing. Belief in God is not so easy to deal with. As long as spiritual power is immortal, it will always exist. If there is a place for sacrifice elsewhere, then it will be even more difficult. Difficult to eliminate.”
Nie Xinying said in a calm voice: "It's no problem, I will hand it over to the teacher for disposal."
Lao Chengyi relaxed and said, "It would be best if Master Bai Zhen takes action."
After Nie Xinying finished talking to him, she took the white branch and went directly to the deepest part of Baizhen Mountain. After passing through a layer of thick white fog, she came to an airspace where thousands of stone pellets were suspended in the air, large and small.
They are not the same, but they are all slightly shining, and the jade beads are connected in series between them.
She floated up to a stone pill in the center, where there was a magnificent palace. Deng Jing was standing on the stage of the palace looking at a jade guide full of Taoist urns.
She stepped forward, bowed Yingying, and said: "Disciple pays homage to the teacher."
Deng Jing looked away, smiled, and said, "Disciple, I'm sorry, do you have anything to deal with for me when you're here?"
Nie Xinying said: "There is something I need to ask the teacher to handle." She briefly explained what happened, then handed the white branch up and said: "Teacher, please watch."
Deng Jing waved and the white branch came into his hands. He looked at it for a few times and said casually: "It's not difficult to dispose of this thing, but this thing must have been removed from something."
