Chapter 26: Royal Power and Heart Light (Revision)
Zhang Yu realized in his heart that Xuanfu's invitation to him this time was probably a continuation of what happened last night. He chatted with the assistant for a few words, and then walked with him to Xuanfu in the rain.
Only halfway through, the heavy rain finally stopped, the sky was bright, the blue sky was thousands of miles away, and it was as picturesque as a poem. A gentle breeze blew, and the lush flowers and trees on both sides swayed, bringing with them the fragrance of the branches and leaves.
On the way, he chatted with the assistant for a few words, and then he learned that this man named Wang had been in Xuanfu for thirty years at the age of twelve. Although he had not learned any Taoism, he was in good health because of his support in Xuanfu.
, now he has two sons and a daughter, and a grandson was born last year. When he mentioned this, his face kept smiling, saying that in his life he only hopes that his family will be well and that Xuanfu can survive forever.
Zhang Yu nodded slightly. Wang Zhuyou's expectations for life were simple and simple, which was also what most people in the Protectorate had in mind.
The two of them walked quickly. After half a summer, they arrived at Xuan Mansion. When they reached the arch of the city platform, another assistant came up and asked him to move to the affairs hall. After he said goodbye to Wang Assistant, he followed
Go forward, walk along the side corridors through the two main halls, and come to the last hall. The assistant goes in to report, and after a while, he comes out again to invite him in.
Zhang Yumai walked into the hall and came to the second floor pavilion. When he looked up, he saw Xiang Chun standing there waiting for him, with a warm smile on his face. He took a few steps forward, straightened his body, clasped his hands together,
Said: "Senior Brother Xiang is polite."
Xiang Chun also raised his hand in return and said in a gentle voice: "Junior brother Zhang is here. Come, let's talk inside."
He invited Zhang Yu into the hall, and after asking him to sit down, he sighed: "Thanks to my junior brother for what happened yesterday, otherwise Xuanfu's reputation would be damaged, and the consequences would be unimaginable."
Zhang Yu said: "This is what you should do."
Xiang Chun nodded repeatedly, showed concern again, and asked him if he had been injured in the battle this time. He said that if he felt unwell, he must not hide it. There are medicines in Xuanfu that can help with treatment. Then he continued
When I mentioned what happened last night, I only asked about details.
Zhang Yuju answered them one by one.
After Xiang Chun's questioning, the tea in front of the two of them had been changed. He looked at the clock and said: "I still have a lot of documents to approve, so I won't keep my junior brother here. You can stay in Xuan Mansion first."
Next, I have some matters to explain later.”
Zhang Yu had no objections, so he left the office and walked back to the garden where he had stayed along the corridor.
Many of the students who entered the mansion together are still living here. Mr. Zheng Yu was doing a set of guidance skills in the garden at the moment. When he saw him stepping in, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly came up and bowed, saying:
"Assistant Zhang."
Zhang Yu glanced at him. After not seeing him for a few days, Zheng Xiaolangjun, who was originally short, had actually grown a little taller, and his face was much rosier. He was no longer as weak as before. It seems that Xuanfu's method of laying a solid foundation is still
It worked.
He said: "Zheng Xiaolang, how are you doing here lately?"
Zheng Yu's face turned bitter, and he touched his belly and said, "Others are fine, except that I drink bitter porridge every day, and I'm not allowed to add sugar. It feels like there's a bitter taste on my tongue, and no matter how much I rinse my mouth, it's useless."
Zhang Yudao: "This should be medicinal porridge. It is used by Xuanfu to regulate your body. Shen Yuan is the aggregation of essence, energy and spirit. If it is not solid at all, it cannot be accumulated. It will be bitter now, but it will be sweet later.
"
Zheng Yu thought for a while, bowed to him very convinced, and said seriously: "The student has taken note of it."
After Zhang Yu said a few words to him, he nodded to several students who came over to say hello, and then returned to his cottage.
He glanced around the room. It seemed that the assistants were cleaning and wiping the place every day. It was quite clean. There were two sets of clothes on the couch, but they were the Taoist robes provided by the Xuanfu. He put them into the bamboo box beside him.
After washing up, I took a Yuanyuan Pill, sat down on the couch, and meditated quietly.
This time he did not stay in meditation for too long. After only half a summer, he came out of meditation. After a short inspection, he saw that he had accumulated a lot of divine energy, but it was still too slow. If he continued like this, maybe
It takes several months of accumulation to be able to read one seal.
He thought for a moment, then got off the couch, put on a Xuanfu Taoist robe, left the house, and walked all the way to the open space outside the Xuanfu city platform.
He first looked at the sun and chose a location. Then he took out a booklet and charcoal and began to trace the statues and the surrounding scenery.
Of course, this was just a cover-up. His real purpose was just to absorb the source energy from the statue of a bird with a human face. So this time, his writing was even more delicate, and almost every carving and dilapidated part was not missed.
.
Feeling wisps of heat coming from the statue, and watching the divine energy that was originally like a shallow pool of water gradually accumulate, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
There was no one walking around outside the gate of Xuan Mansion, but seeing that he was so absorbed in painting, no one came up to disturb him.
He stayed here until noon, because the gate of Xuanfu was about to close and it was impossible to continue, so he regretfully put away the book and charcoal and turned back.
After returning to the cottage, he took a Yuanyuan Pill, picked up the Xia Jian, and went to the backyard to practice the sword for a while. After his blood vessels were harmonized, he returned to the couch to adjust his breathing.
At dusk, someone came to knock on the door and said: "Junzi Zhang, Master Fan has invited me. Please wait a moment to speak in the side hall in front."
Zhang Yu got up, cleaned up for a while, and then left the cottage. When he walked to the side hall, he saw Bai Qingqing coming from not far away. The two of them nodded to each other in front of the hall, and then entered the lobby under the guidance of the assistant.
As soon as he entered, he saw Fan Lan, dressed in Taoist attire, sitting on the couch, closing his eyes and meditating, while the incense burner in front of him was filled with misty smoke.
When the two of them reached the front, they both joined hands and bowed.
Fan Lan opened his eyes, raised his hand and returned the salute from his seat, then made an invitation gesture and said: "Two junior brothers, please sit down and talk."
The two of them thanked each other and sat down on the two futons left in front of him.
Fan Lan said: "Two junior brothers, have you observed and read the seal awarded by Xuanfu last time?"
Zhang Yudao: "I have already observed and read it."
Bai Qingqing also said: "Me too."
Fan Lan nodded with satisfaction, but for people like Zhang Yu and Bai Qingqing who could see three seals of the Six Righteousness from the very beginning, it would be no difficulty to read one or two more seals, and it was even possible to continue reading them.
Read the third one.
He glanced at Zhang Yu first, then moved his eyes to Bai Qingqing, and said, "Junior brother Bai must have heard about what happened yesterday?"
Bai Qingqing said: "I heard a little bit, and I heard that the Shenwei Army was trying to cause trouble..." He looked at Zhang Yu, "Later, Assistant Zhang stopped him in time."
Fan Lan patted his knees and said: "It's good that you heard about it. The Shenwei Army is extremely rough in their actions. If you suffer a loss this time, you will definitely seek revenge, but this will never be the fault of Junior Brother Zhang alone."
, but what all of us in Xuanfu need to face."
He looked at the two of them, showing a somewhat serious look, and said: "And you two are the more outstanding disciples that the Xuanfu has encountered in the past few years. If you lose one of them, it will be the loss of the Xuanfu, so you are in charge."
Decided to let go of the unnecessary tests ahead and let me teach you the fighting method in advance so that you can protect yourselves."
When Bai Qingqing heard this, a trace of excitement that could not be concealed suddenly appeared on his face.
Although the seal he obtained before is useful, it does not have the ability to fight with people head-on.
In fact, as far as he understood, other people who entered the mansion would also be awarded seals as long as they had sufficient divine energy. Therefore, he was just one step ahead of others before, and he did not actually receive any special treatment.
After learning that Zhang Yu had seriously injured Su Kuang, he suspected that the seals obtained by the latter could be used in fighting, so he felt a sense of urgency in his heart and was very eager to get more seals. Now he finally waited for this opportunity.
Although this seems to be because of Zhang Yu, he is confident that when his talents are displayed, he will receive more attention than others.
Zhang Yuze was a little surprised. He had previously judged that Xuanfu was very cautious in teaching each seal. In addition to a relatively rigid set of rules, it should also be for the purpose of stabilizing the foundation of the disciples.
The purpose, but now it is uncharacteristic. Could it be that he was really like this because he severely injured the soldiers of the Shenwei Army last night?
He always felt that it was not that simple, but since Xuanfu was willing to teach it, then he himself had nothing to be unhappy about.
Fan Lan waited for a while, and saw that the two of them had almost digested the news, and then said: "Ever since we came to this unknown land a hundred years ago, Dongting Xuanfu has been responsible for fighting spiritual monsters and indigenous gods.
Of course, the current opponents may also include the Shenwei Army. But no matter who the opponent is, only by protecting yourself first can you be qualified to take care of others."
He pointed and said: "You two, one has killed spiritual monsters with his own hands, and the other has studied mysteries carefully. You should know that spiritual monsters have a spiritual coat on their bodies. Roughly speaking, these are all living things themselves.
The outward projection of spiritual consciousness and inner strength. And we, the Xuanxiu cultivators, also have this ability."
As he spoke, a shallow layer of white light appeared on his body.
He spread his palms, showing the dense aura on them, "We call this the 'heart light'. It contains many changes. As long as you master it properly, even firecrackers and artillery can't hurt you, let alone ordinary swords."
You get nothing."
He looked at the two of them, "So the first thing you have to do is to read the Chapter of the Great Dao to inspire your own inner light, so that you can have the minimum ability to protect yourself."
