Taoist Zhengqing and Wei Kuang sorted things out, came out of Laiyuan Shidao's farewell room, took a golden boat to Yuanshang Hall, and prepared to meet Zhang Yu.
As for Fu Qing's world, Lin Tingzhi and the other monks who stayed here with Xuan Zun also left this world after receiving the message from Yuan Shangdian.
But what is interesting is that along the way, other worldly beings kept inviting them to visit. They did not refuse, but were gladly invited.
And this time, these people did not make any special requests, but they were trying to get people into the envoys who were preparing to return. It seemed that they wanted to go back with the envoys.
Regarding this aspect, Zhang Yu had made an explanation before he left. If he encountered someone, he did not have to refuse, so they all agreed. This caused other worlds to follow suit and blocked some people in. This also caused them to go all the way.
The journey up was slow and we were late to meet up with Zhang Yu.
Jiao Yao, who was in Beiwei Shidao, was the last to get the news, but after learning about it, he immediately found Yi Wu and said that he had to prepare for his return after being summoned by the envoy.
Yi Wu asked him to wait a moment, and then he came to Yi Junzi's seat and said: "Tianxia's envoy is very capable. If he can ask Yuan Shangdian to send a message for him this time, he must have passed the test from Yuan Shangdian. It's just that
…”
He said slightly worriedly: "What agreement did Tianxia Zheng Ding reach with Yuan Shangdian? Can he really help our species? Will it be detrimental to our species?"
Yi Junzi shook his head and said: "Yi Wu, you are worrying too much. Although Yuan Shangdian doesn't like us, they don't care about such an important matter. What they want is to successfully pick up the final path. This matter
They didn't have time to take care of us until we were done.
We don't have to worry about what the Tianxia envoy does, as long as he promises me to do my best in Beiwei. Besides, the Tianxia envoy is not an unwise person. How can he put all his chips with Yuan Shangdian without leaving any for himself?
Where is the first line of retreat?”
Yi Wu thought, this is indeed the case. How could the Tianxia envoy really trust Yuan Shangdian? Apart from anything else, just seeing that the official envoy was in Yuan Shang, the other envoys still accepted their invitation from the world.
I know the mission has a lot on their minds.
Yi Junzi said: "Go and arrange this matter. Remember to arrange for more juniors to follow Daoist Jiao back."
Yi Wu said: "Yes.
In fact, this is not difficult. Just say that these tribes gave the Tianxia tribe the chariots to drive. This way, their true purpose can be concealed. No one would think that they would seek enlightenment for the descendants of the tribe.
These races always need someone to help tame them and take care of them, so it would be reasonable to send a few more peers there.
The situation is better now. Since all the world is sending people to the embassy, why can't their embassy? Therefore, he can also do things openly.
And these news also reached the Yuanshang Palace one after another. For this matter, the monk specially approached Zhang Yu and said with some dissatisfaction: "Zhang Zhengshi, you have clearly reached an agreement with Yuanshang Palace, why do you still use it even though you have reached an agreement with me?"
What about other people in the group coming into contact with people of all worlds?"
Zhang Yu replied: "Guo Zhenren, in the Tianxia envoy, although I am the chief envoy, there are still deputy envoys. This one is not just pretending, but Tianxia is here to prevent the envoy from having only one deputy envoy."
There is a voice, so the arrangement is like this. If it completely vetoes the deputy envoy's actions, Tianxia will definitely make repeated inquiries after returning, which will not be conducive to subsequent matters."
The cultivator Gui thought for a while, remembering the report about Tianxia's internal situation that he had reported before, and then thinking about Yuanxia's current internal situation, he suddenly felt a little understood. He whispered: "Will there be any changes? That person
Will the deputy envoy promise anything at will?"
Zhang Yudao: "I am asked to be the chief envoy because I have greater authority. The deputy envoy does not have the power to agree to anything. Even if there are some constraints, it is not a big deal. I just hope that you will not do unnecessary things.
, that will only increase the trouble.”
The monk knew that what he meant was to tell Yuan Shangdian not to think about getting rid of the deputy envoy. He did have this idea, but after Zhang Yu said this, he had to give up.
In any case, without the constraints of oaths and rituals, Zhang Yu is now more like a collaborator of their Yuan Shang Palace, rather than a person who has taken refuge in them.
Before the matter was completed, Yuan Shangdian still had to rely on this person, so he felt that he could not be strong at all in front of this person, which gave him a feeling of reversing the subject and the object.
He sighed secretly in his heart and could only say: "How could this happen? We must discuss things with Zhang Zhengshi in advance."
Zhang Yu said calmly: "Before we complete the matter, if we cannot trust each other, we will not be able to continue."
The monk who passed by said quickly: "Yes, yes." He thought for a while and said: "By the way, that day, Zhang Zhengshi mentioned that he wanted to meet Master Sui. I asked the emperor and all the ministers discussed it.
Considering that Zhang Zhengshi and I have no good cooperation, I allow Zhang Zhengshi to meet with this person."
In the final analysis, this Sui Taoist was just an ordinary real person. The "Wu Kong Yuan Lu" he compiled and what he knew did not involve the secrets of the upper class. He was suppressed just because he sided with the outsider monks.
Moreover, he has been imprisoned for so many years and has no idea what is going on outside. Someone will be watching the conversation between the two of them, so it is impossible for them to say anything too secretive.
Zhang Yu mentioned something before that there was nothing more to say about Hou Yuan Shangdian. It was impossible for him to do this. Unexpectedly, he had to turn around again. He asked: "I don't know when it will be?"
The monk said: "It has been arranged and can be done at any time."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "In that case, let's do it now. I would also like to ask the real person to lead the way."
The monk who passed by stood up and said, "Please come with me, Your Majesty."
Zhang Yu waved his sleeves, stood up from his seat, and left the residence hall together with the monks who had passed by. They boarded the flying car that the latter came in and rode the wind and clouds, heading upward into the void.
At this time, the monk threw out a golden order, and he saw thunderbolts flashing in the clouds. Soon after, a hollow vortex appeared above, which was like a hole in the wall of the void.
The speeding car did not stop at all, and rushed in. First, it passed through a whirlpool of clouds and air that swirled suddenly and seemed to be able to crush everything. Then the world suddenly became silent, and a large metal platform with a sharp top and four sides appeared in front of it. It looked like a
The entire body was cast, completely black, with no gaps at all, and looked heavy and cold.
The monk said: "Zhenren Sui was suppressed here." He stretched out his hand and the golden talisman fluttered down. He didn't grab it, but waved his sleeve to draw it forward, and the golden talisman flew out faster.
, turned into a golden light and shot toward the Xuan Palace, and suddenly disappeared into it. After a while, there was a gap of light radiating out from the palace wall.
The flying car suddenly accelerated as it drove here, diving into the golden light. After accepting the flying car, the entire hall converged its light and became as unified as before.
After the speed car entered, Zhang Yu looked around. It was dimly lit and there were piles of large and small solid platforms of varying heights. Only a ray of light shined from the middlemost high platform, which was the only bright spot in the darkness.
On the high platform, there is a large monument supported by a dragon tortoise. In front of the monument stands a handsome monk who looks about thirty years old, has a short beard, and looks elegant and gentle. This man is dressed in moon-white ancient clothes, and sometimes
He looked up at the monument, and sometimes walked forward, took out a hammer, and struck on the surface of the monument.
The monk said: "This is Zhenren Sui."
Zhang Yu nodded. He could feel the stagnant pressure coming from all directions and gathering in the middle. It was necessary to activate mana to resist at all times, otherwise it would be crushed by this force.
But overall, apart from not being able to use extra magic power, this person is still able to move freely and is not treated too harshly. The reason may be that this person is from the world.
The speeding car floated slowly over at this time, which also attracted this person's attention. He couldn't help but turn his head and saw curiously that there was a clarity or innocence in this person's eyes that was rare for a monk.
When the flying car stopped steadily on the platform, Zhang Yu and the monk Guo walked down from it. The monk took a few steps forward and bowed persistently, saying: "Master Sui, this is Zhang Shangzhen, this time I am specially
Come to see Master Sui."
Taoist Sui couldn't help but be surprised. Since he was imprisoned here, most people have avoided him for fear of him. No one has come to see him for a long time. He put away his hammer and chisel and said with a salute, "Shang Zhang is so polite."
.”
Zhang Yu nodded, raised his sleeves and bowed in return.
The monk who passed by said, "Let's talk, you two. I'll take my leave first." After bowing, he quietly retreated far away, and secretly reached out and took out a talisman.
Sui Zhenren looked at Zhang Yu at this time and said politely: "My place is simple and there is nothing to greet guests. I only have two couches to entertain guests. Don't be offended, Zhang Shang."
Zhang Yu said: "Master Sui's words are serious." He took a few steps forward and sat down on a couch at Master Sui's invitation.
After the Sui Taoist also sat down, he said, "Is Zhang Shang really a Taoist monk from the outside world?"
Zhang Yudao: "Exactly."
The Sui Taoist sighed and said: "I think so. It seems that my Yuanxia and other relatives of the same Taoism all avoid me. How could they come here to see me?"
He looked at Zhang Yu and said: "But it can be seen that Yuan Shangdian attaches great importance to Shangzhen, otherwise he would not let Shangzhen come here. Let Sui think about it, it must be that the outer world where Shangzhen lives has not been invaded by Yuan Xia
To attack and destroy, it is necessary for Shangzhen to be the internal response of Yuan Xia, is this true?"
Zhang Yudao: "It's exactly what Sui Zhenren said."
Taoist Sui chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Yuan Xia has been doing this for many years. In short, if the Taoists in this world are not united, then there will always be others if you don't have your Excellency."
He shook his head, seeming a little lonely, and then regained his composure and asked: "Then why is Shangzhen coming back to look for Sui?"
Zhang Yudao: "I have read Sui Zhenren's records, but I have a question in them. Among the fragments left by Sui Zhenren, there are two mentions of Yu An's location, but I don't know where this place is?"
