Eight days passed in the blink of an eye, and all the translated secret texts were on the table, two days earlier than expected.
Zhang Yu read the translation several times to confirm that there were no errors or omissions, and then looked back.
There's just one problem. At first, he needed three secret volumes to find out that place. Now he only has one secret volume in his hand. Even though the tide of turmoil is gradually receding, it doesn't necessarily mean that he can definitely find the place with just one secret volume.
Found it there.
If there are no other secret volumes for comparison, you will have to slowly search for clues based on the description of the surrounding scenery by the owner of the secret volume on the way there. This is not only inefficient, but also prone to more mistakes.
But it's not completely impossible.
After translating and reading these secret texts these days, he became more and more certain that Shang Xueling must have seen a similar secret volume, maybe it was the one that the Shenwei Army obtained from the Literary Academy.
He was also thinking that if he could get part of his knowledge from this person, he might have a reference.
It's just that if Shang Xueling really contributed to the Shenwei Army, then there might be the Shenwei Army's spies or guards around him at this moment, so how to do it specifically needs to be discussed with Xiang Chun.
After thinking about it, he looked up at Zhan Zhitong and said, "Master Zhan, this translation has been completed, and Xuanfu will give you a certain reward."
Zhan Zhitong thought for a while, picked up the bottle of pills on the table and said, "I don't need anything else. I wonder if Zhang Shijun still has this kind of Gu Yuan pills?"
He found this Yuan-Guarding elixir very useful. After ten days, he only slept for half a summer every day, but he was still full of energy and did not feel tired. Moreover, when he was translating and reading, he could not move for a long time, nor did he study for as long as before.
Relieved the feeling of blocked blood vessels.
If this elixir is always available, wouldn't the time that can be spent studying and studying in this life be nearly doubled?
Zhang Yudao: "I still have to give you a reward. As for these pills, I can give you a few bottles. But Shaolang is not a practitioner, so it is difficult to refine the medicinal properties. You can use some occasionally, but you must not rely on it. Every time
After taking it, it is best to wait for a while before using it again, otherwise it will easily damage the brain."
Zhan Zhitong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Zhang Shijun for informing me." At this time, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and saluted again: "Zhang Shijun, I still have an old father to take care of at home. If there is nothing else, I will go back first.
.”
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Qinghe, send Shaolang Zhan off for me."
Li Qinghe responded and sent Zhan Zhitong off.
After Zhang Yu took another look at the translated secret scroll, the piece of paper instantly turned into a cloud of ash, flying into the fire basin next to it.
He tidied up the things on the desk, took the newspapers of the past few days and looked through them. Seeing that there was nothing worthy of attention, he put them back, returned to the house from the rooftop, washed up, and put on his clothes again.
I got a Taoist robe and came to Xuan Mansion.
Walking all the way to Xuanfu, he went directly to the affairs hall and found Xiang Chun. After receiving the ceremony, he informed him: "In the past few days, Yu and Zhan Shaolang have cooperated to translate and read the secret scroll."
Xiang Chun said in surprise: "So fast? Junior Brother Zhang, so you can already find the boundary?"
Zhang Yu shook his head and said: "We are just trying to find the location indicated on this secret scroll. And since there is only this one copy of the secret scroll, it is difficult to say that that is the place we are looking for."
Xiang Chun said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Dou and Junior Brother Wang have also rushed to the north in the past few days. If there are military commanders from the Shenwei Army entering the depths of Anshan, you junior brothers will try to follow them. If we cannot find the boundary,
Then we must not allow the Shenwei Army to return to the Protectorate after obtaining these things."
He had always hoped to slowly delay the situation and try to gain the upper hand with Xuanfu's strength. Now it seems that such an idea is destined to be difficult to realize.
A few days ago, he received news from insiders that the Shenwei Army was acting more and more like they were looking for something, which forced him to retreat. If the Shenwei Army really let the Shenwei Army look for the divine robe, then
Xuanfu’s only choice is not to let these people come back!
He felt very heavy, because doing so was undoubtedly very dangerous. If he did not go well, Xuanfu might have a full-scale conflict with the Shenwei Army there. The consequences of this were really hard to predict, and it was not what he wanted to see.
, but he had to do so.
Zhang Yu thought about it carefully and said, "Senior brother, have you ever considered going to the Protectorate?"
Xiang Chun sighed: "I have also thought about it, but the Protectorate should also be able to guess what the Shenwei Army wants to do, but they will not take any action until they are really sure that the Shenwei Army has accomplished this.
, here we can only count on ourselves.”
Zhang Yu also agrees with this statement. Even the Xuan Palace has news. It is impossible that the Protector's Palace has not noticed any movement.
But before, the Protectorate Palace did not restrict the mobilization of the Shenwei Army. This clearly wanted the Xuan Palace to attack first, and then take action according to the situation.
In fact, this can be said to be a conspiracy, but the Duhufu's balancing act is a bit crazy. It doesn't matter what time it is, if the Xuanfu gains power, the Duhufu can still be preserved, and the Shenwei Army gains power.
, then there will be nothing wrong with the Protectorate.
He thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "Senior Brother Xiang, I have thought about it carefully these days. In fact, we may not have a chance to find that place before the Shenwei Army. There is a person there who may have what we want."
Xiang Chun was startled and then asked: "Junior Brother Zhang, I wonder who you are talking about?"
Zhang Yudao: "The Order of Shangxue of Linzhi Academy."
When he came down, he explained what he had inferred to Xiang Chun, and then said: "Although Shang Xueling has made great achievements in ancient writing, his translation of books based on academic inquiry is dull and rigid. I expect that he is in translation and reading."
When writing a secret text, you must refer to a large number of documents, find different sentence patterns from different books, and then compare the semantics with the original text, which requires a lot of writing."
Xiang Chun said: "Junior Brother Zhang means that we may be able to find clues from these manuscripts?"
Zhang Yudao: "Yes."
Xiang Chun thought for a moment and said, "Do I need to send my disciples to investigate?"
Zhang Yufou said: "I suspect that he may have a divine army guarding him. It is not easy to succeed in sending disciples there. Moreover, where the manuscripts will be hidden and which ones are important, it may not be possible to find out in a hurry."
Xiang Chun looked at him and said, "Junior brother Zhang, do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Yudao: "The style of the Shenwei Army has always been rough and arrogant, and after all, Shang Xueling is not an important figure. Even if he protects him, he will definitely not care much about it. At most, he will only protect his personal safety, so there is a loophole.
Drill. We can do this..."
His lips moved slightly and he said a few words silently. Xiang Chun thought for a while, stroked his beard and said, "You can give it a try, but there are not many disciples who practice this seal."
Zhang Yudao: "I recommend a person who can do this."
In a bookstore somewhere in the Xuan Mansion, Bai Qingqing was looking through the notes left by many predecessors. Many Xuan cultivators like him were also looking for what they needed here, and they would communicate with each other from time to time.
At this time, a servant walked in. He tried to search for it, then came to Bai Qingqing's side, bowed and said: "Junior brother Bai, I have something to ask you."
When Bai Qingqing heard this, he quickly put down the things in his hands, straightened his clothes, and hurried to the affairs hall.
Not long after, he came to the outside of the hall. After being informed outside, he was called in. When he saw Xiang Chun, he stepped forward, bowed his head and said, "Brother Xiang, are you calling me?"
Xiang Chun looked kindly and said, "Junior Brother Bai, how have you been practicing lately?"
Bai Qingqing said gratefully: "Thank you for your concern, senior brother. My practice has been going well recently."
Xiang Chun said: "I recently looked at your Taoist book and saw that you successfully meditated and read the 'Seal of Invasion of the Heart'?"
Bai Qingqing perked up and said, "Yes!"
The Heart-Invading Seal can invade one's mind into the body of others and control their behavior within a certain period of time. However, because this usually only works on mortals, few people read it.
But he was keenly aware that this seal was not simple, especially for a metaphysician who was good at perception, he might be able to come in handy and play a key role at some point.
Now it seems that the opportunity he has been waiting for has finally come!
Xiang Chun nodded and said: "Junior Brother Bai, in this case, there is an important matter in the house that seems to require your help."
Bai Qingqing looked solemn, cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother, please tell me, Qingqing will definitely live up to his trust."
Xiang Chun nodded, he took out a letter from the case, handed it over and said: "How to do it has been written down, just follow it as you see fit, but you need to remember that this matter is very important to Xuanfu.
, you must not leak it to a third party."
Seeing his serious expression, Bai Qingqing felt a chill in his heart. He took it solemnly, held the letter in his hand and said, "Qingqing has written it down."
After he returned to his residence, he closed the doors and windows, then opened the envelope. After carefully reading the contents, he burned the letter.
Then he stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, as if thinking about something.
After a while, he looked up at the time on the water clock, thought about it again, went back to the back room, changed into casual clothes, and left.
After leaving Xuanfu, he got on the carriage and went straight to the bank office.
After arriving at the end of the field, he walked up the steps to the bank office, and then stepped forward and asked to check the accounts of the Chinese medicine store where the goods were stored. Not long after, the bank clerk brought a book of accounts to him.
He found a single room and looked around slowly, but his eyes glanced at it from time to time, as if he was waiting for something.
When he was almost in the corner, he ordered the servant to put away the account book and slowly walked out of the single room.
Not long after he came out, he saw a middle-aged woman in her fifties, fat and gorgeously dressed, walking over in the square of Bupai City Hall, surrounded by a group of guards.
When he saw the woman, he was stunned for a while, hesitated, gritted his teeth, and walked up pretending to be nonchalant. Just as he passed by this group of people, he suddenly looked back.
The middle-aged woman also noticed this handsome young man at this time and couldn't help but look over. But the moment his eyes came into contact, she seemed to see a beam of light. She felt that her eyes were in a trance and her steps were a little unsteady.
The maid hurriedly supported her and said: "Madam?"
The leader of the guard who was walking in front also stopped. He looked around cautiously, and then said: "Mrs. Shang, is there something wrong?"
Mrs. Shang's face looked a little strange at this time. She coughed dryly, rubbed her forehead, and said: "Why do you feel a little dizzy? Forget it, I won't go to see the cloth today. Let's go back first."
