In the affairs hall, Xiang Chun was sitting behind the case, looking at the newspapers that had been passed around the house in the past few days.
One of the newspapers caught his attention. It mentioned that after Zhang Yu succeeded Fan Lan, he had only been in charge of teaching for more than ten days, and two disciples found the Seal of Heart Light under his guidance.
He couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. No matter what the disciple's previous background was, as long as he found the Seal of Heart Light, he would be the absolute backbone of the Xuanfu, because each of them would have a certain chance to observe the Chapter of Spiritual Brightness.
He couldn't help but feel that he had made the right choice.
At the same time, he was also curious, how did Zhang Yu do it?
After watching it, he couldn't help but sigh and nod.
The method used by Zhang Yu is actually not a clever strategy to be honest. It just slightly changed some of the old practices in the past, focusing more on the middle and lower class disciples, instead of only focusing on those with outstanding talents as before.
disciple.
But sometimes, these changes are difficult to make.
When he saw this, he didn't know what he thought of. He was lost for a moment, and it seemed that an idea of what he wanted to do came up in his mind.
But then he shook his head. Small things can be changed, but big things are difficult to change.
He reminded himself that everything was going in a good direction now and he must stabilize the situation as much as possible.
He does not expect to rely on Xuanfu's own strength to overwhelm the Divine Army, but as long as the Protectorate is willing to stand on Xuanfu's side, he can eventually overwhelm the Divine Army.
He put down the newspaper and picked up another one, but when he saw the content inside, he frowned, and his originally uplifted mood became not so good again.
A leader of the Shenwei Army named Hejiang passed the ceremony to unlock the shackles of power, and he took over the position of Zuo Junhou that had been vacant due to Almotai's disappearance.
He sighed secretly, it was too easy for the Divine Army to gain power compared to their cultivators.
Fortunately, the skill of making divine robes has always been in the hands of Tianxia natives, and the Dongting Protectorate does not have it, otherwise things would be even more unimaginable.
But this is also because their road to higher ground is cut off. He, like him, read the second chapter of the book early, but in the next few decades, he can only stay in the chapter of Lingming.
.
In fact, as long as there is someone in the Xuan Mansion who is comparable to Xuan Shou, there is no need to worry about the Divine Wei Army anymore.
He took another look at the newspaper and threw it on the case.
Xu Ying walked in happily from outside. His face was full of joy. As soon as he entered the door, he said: "Brother, I have something to talk to you."
Xiang Chun gestured to him: "Sit down and talk."
Xu Ying did not sit down, but still stood there, and asked again: "Brother, do you know when the teacher will be released from seclusion?"
Xiang Chun was a little strange and said, "Why do you ask this?"
Xu Ying clenched his fists and said with high emotion: "Brother, this is what I want to tell you," his eyes couldn't stop the excitement, "Senior Nephew Ji has already read the chapter of Lingming!"
"Um?"
Xiang Chun was startled, and then his expression became happy. He sat up straight and asked with concern: "Seriously?"
"Of course it's true!" Xu Ying looked like you still don't believe me. He opened his hand, looked at Xiang Chun and said, "Senior brother, with Junior Nephew Ji's talent, isn't this a matter of course?"
He said with a slightly excited expression: "Senior Brother, now Junior Ji only needs to read the instructions to the third chapter of the book. I thought that the teacher would come out of seclusion one day at the beginning of the year, but I haven't waited until now. You know, one day in the evening
, then it will delay Master Ji's practice for one day, I am really anxious."
Xiang Chun comforted him and said: "Junior brother, please don't be anxious. The teacher has his own reasons for not leaving seclusion. This matter..." He suddenly looked up at Xu Ying and said: "But junior brother, let me ask
Just tell me, you need to answer me seriously."
Seeing that his expression was a little serious, Xu Ying couldn't help but be startled, and then said: "Senior brother, you ask."
Xiang Chun said in a deep voice: "After Master Ji's nephew read the Chapter of Lingming, is his divine energy still as full as before?"
Xu Ying nodded vigorously and said: "Since that's the case, I have already asked in person."
Xiang Chun sighed and said: "If this is the case...if our Xuanfu can really have one more Xuanxiu who can observe the third chapter, then..."
"Exactly, senior brother!" Xu Ying said hurriedly with a bit of excitement: "Isn't this what we expected before?"
Xiang Chun thought deeply for a long time before he raised his head and said, "Well, at the end of the month, the teacher may come out of the confinement. If I see it, I will personally ask the teacher about the rules leading to the three chapters."
Xu Yingdao: "Senior brother, it would be best if my nephew Ji could see his teacher again."
Xiang Chun nodded and said, "I'll do my best. It all depends on the teacher's wishes." He pointed at Xu Ying, "Where Master Ji is, please calm him down for the time being. Don't let his mind wander.
Yes, he is very important to us now."
Xu Ying nodded repeatedly and said solemnly: "Senior brother, please don't worry. Besides, except the teacher and the two of us, no one knows about the existence of Junior Nephew Ji. Although Xiu Linzhi..."
Xiang Chunyi frowned and interrupted him: "No need to say this. This was the strategy used by Master Nephew Ji when he was weak. Now that he has read the Chapter of Lingming, he also has a certain ability to protect himself. As long as he
Just let him be wary of outsiders besides you and me." He looked at Xu Ying and said solemnly: "Remember, from today on, there will no longer be any 'Xiulin policy'."
Xu Ying looked at Xiang Chun, and after a while, she reluctantly said: "I understand, senior brother."
In Ruiguang Yan's Manor, Yan Xulun was entertaining a guest with a pale mask on his face. There was a silver line in the middle of the mask. Except for the empty mouth, the rest of the mask was very similar to a real person.
Yan Xulun said at this time: "What do you think of this tea?"
The close servant standing next to him said: "Guest, this is spring tea picked from the tea tree planted by the captain himself in the early years."
The man in the mask put down the tea cup and said: "The fragrance is sweet and refreshing. Although it can't compare with Dongting's tea, I have understood Lord Yan's intention." Although the pronunciation of the words he used in Tianxia dialect was very accurate,
But anyone who heard it could tell from the voice that he was definitely not from Tianxia.
Yan Xulun said a few more polite words to him, but when he saw that he never mentioned his purpose of coming, he had no intention of getting into trouble anymore and asked, "What is the purpose of your visit this time?"
The man wearing the mask said: "It's still about what happened last time."
Yan Xulun pondered for a moment and said: "I have tried to provide you with no less than ten divine robes for the Restoration of Gods Association. Could it be that you haven't got enough? Can you find out something from them?"
The man wearing the mask said: "This is not that easy. Although we know the gods better, the divine robe can perfectly strip away the power of the gods and give it to a mortal. There are so many mysteries hidden in it that it's almost
A divine robe is simply not enough for us, we need more."
Yan Xulun shook his head and said: "Now is not the past. It is difficult for me to do such a thing again. Your distinguished guest should also know my current situation. Without Almotai to help me control the soldiers, my words will not have much weight.
"
The masked man said: "We already knew about this when we came, but we believe that Captain Yan is still capable of doing this. Don't you have a son who serves as a leader in the Shenwei Army?
"
Yan Xulun frowned and said, "How do you say that?"
The masked man said: "We know that the most important thing in the Shenwei Army is strength, so we can hold a ceremony to unlock the shackles of power for your son."
Yan Xulun was slightly startled and said, "How could you do this?" This ceremony has always been in the hands of the lieutenant leader Deng Mingqing. Even he didn't know it. How could the other party know about it?
The masked man said: "Although Tianxia's skills are very superb, and we still can't figure out how to make the divine robe, the power of the divine robe originally belongs to the gods, and there are some similarities. We naturally have ways to use it.
"
Yan Xulun thought for a moment and asked, "Will this ceremony have any other effects?"
The masked man said: "Such a ceremony requires the spirituality of a real god. Our contribution is far greater than what you can get, and we also need to cooperate with you, so you don't have to worry about safety. If you are still worried, we
You can hold a ceremony for your son first, which will ensure that he will at least gain power no less than that of a military commander in your Divine Lieutenant Army."
Yan Xulun said in a deep voice: "I need to think about this matter carefully."
"Okay, actually Lord Yan doesn't need to be so troubled. Our interests are the same, aren't we?"
The man wearing the mask knew that this was enough. He stood up. When he was about to leave, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped and said: "Oh, by the way. Lord Yan, although the information you provided last time was very accurate.
, that mountain path does exist, but it was originally a secret attack, but it was destroyed by the people of your Shenwei Army, so Xueyang is very dissatisfied with us now. We know that this is not your fault, and I hope you can start again.
After receiving authority, we will not be disappointed."
After speaking, he took out a letter, handed it to a servant not far away, performed another Tianxia ceremony that he couldn't find fault with, but somehow felt weird, and walked out of the courtyard.
Yan Xulun sat on the soft cushion and watched the other party go out. Of course he would not take it to heart that the interests were the same. Now they can sit here and talk well just because they have a common enemy.
He took the letter from the servant, opened it and read it.
What it says is that, according to the information he provided, on New Year’s Eve, while the defense was relaxed, a resurrected god from the Ancient Kingdom of Bloodyang led dozens of priests and hundreds of blood-feathered warriors to rush forward along the narrow mountain road.
, tried to break into the territory of the Protectorate, but was blocked by Qi Dian, the commander of the Shenwei Army, and all the incoming offenders, including the alien god, were killed on the spot, leading to the planned advance.
