After Zhang Yu came down from Tiancheng, he sat down in a flower pavilion in front of Zhongjin Terrace in Tanquanzhou to enjoy tea.
Tanquan Prefecture is covered with seas of flowers, with colorful petals flying everywhere and strong fragrance overflowing. It looks like a pure land, but this was only achieved through the sacrifices of countless soldiers and monks over the years.
All the people above Kuisu want to move here. Wei Lingying once said with some yearning that he hoped to locate the Wei army's headquarters above Tanquan Prefecture in the future.
It is really not easy to do this. Excluding Yiweitian City above, Tanquan Prefecture has only three armies that are qualified to recruit troops. And all of them are inextricably related to the main army of Tiancheng.
However, these three families have been stationed here for a long time and never leave easily. They are also protected by regular troops. Although they are well-equipped, their combat effectiveness may not be as good as that of the conscripts who fight abroad from time to time.
He was sipping tea here and thinking about problems. Half a summer later, Nangong Shu appeared here, cupped his hands and said to him: "Zhang Xunhu, thank you for your long wait."
Zhang Yu glanced at him and found nothing unusual on his body. His aura was also very normal. He nodded and said in return, "Fellow Taoist Nangong arrived quite quickly."
Nangong Shu said in a natural tone: "I'm just down here right here. I got the letter from the patrol and came right away."
Zhang Yudao: "Fellow Taoist Nangong, please take a seat."
Nangong Shu cupped his hands again and sat down on the stone bench in front of him. He said: "Zhang Xunhu was here on an appointment, but has he decided to come forward to investigate the matter thoroughly?"
Zhang Yudao: "Before I came here, I went to the Military Affairs Office. Director Hong has his own rules. As long as I stay in Kuisu, I will keep an eye on this matter at any time."
Nangong Shu nodded unconsciously and said, "I feel relieved that the patrol is watching."
He paused, "In addition to staring at the Military Affairs Office recently, I also asked fellow Daoist Liang. Xu felt that few people here in Kuisu were willing to accept observers, so he has now gone to another star.
.
I feel that it is inappropriate to let this person go. I don’t know if there are other arrangements behind this. In the past few days, Japan has also been preparing to go to Kuisu to investigate this matter, and now I just want to say hello to the patrol."
Zhang Yudao: "Then fellow Taoist Nangong needs to take care of himself."
Nangong Shuyi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Zhang Xunshu. Nangong will be careful."
The two said a few more words, and Nangong Shu took his leave.
Zhang Yuneng could feel that Nangong Shu had a high spirit when he met him before, but now his attitude had not changed, but it was as if he was talking about irrelevant things, and there was no mood swing in the whole process.
And judging from today's conversation, he had a feeling that the other party seemed to want to avoid him.
Although he felt that there was something strange about him, he was a Xuan Ting walker after all, and he could not do anything to him for no reason until he had firm evidence.
But the more this happens, the more it shows that there is something not simple behind this matter. If you want to find out, it seems that the only way to find out is Liang Yi.
He thought for a long time and decided to deal with the matter later. At the moment, he should first check the entrance and exit to the inner layer. This is the most important thing.
He immediately left Tanquan Prefecture and flew towards the northwest.
As soon as he left Tanquan Prefecture, Master Yong quickly received the news. He told Xu Chengtong: "Deacon Xu, my informant came to report that the man has left Tiancheng and headed northwest. It is very likely that he is
As we return to our residence, I wonder when Deacon Xu plans to take action?"
Xu Chengtong: "This is easy. Just write a letter saying that you are from Youcheng and want to meet him. He will probably come."
Master Yong hesitated and said: "If this person is the military commander..."
Xu Chengtong: "Don't worry, if he finds the military headquarters, then we just don't come forward. I think this person also knows this. What's more, with this person's ability, who can threaten him on Kuisu?"
?”
His method of dealing with Zhang Yu was actually very simple, that is, to have a photo with Zhang Yu, then quickly leave, and afterwards he said that he was no match for Zhang Yu.
With the cooperation of Master Yong and others, he can create the illusion that he escaped after a hard fight and almost died, so that no one can say that he is not the one.
It seems that Lu Xuan and other monks who were almost successful were beaten to death by Zhang Yu, but he couldn't beat him. Isn't that reasonable?
Could You Cheng have killed him for this matter? The most we can say is that he is incompetent, but he is incompetent. If you have the ability, do it yourself.
After deciding on this matter, things became simpler. They didn't have to work hard to lure Zhang Yu somewhere, let alone how to capture him. They just needed to be prepared to evacuate.
Zhang Yu flew through the air. In less than two moments, he crossed the land and came to the sky above the boundary. Looking down from above, he could see that there was a mass of fog there, and there were flashes of lightning and thunder in it.
It reminded him of the spiritual barrier he saw in the inner layer, which was very similar to this one.
Around the mist, there were several teams of armored sergeants patrolling back and forth, and there was a faint air formation surrounding the center. It was obvious that a formation had been deployed. The defense looked loose on the surface, but it was actually extremely tight on the inside.
His mind changed, and he slowly descended from the sky and settled on the surface of the earth. However, for fear of causing misunderstanding, he just stood far away from the outside.
Noticing his arrival, several monks and a group of armored sergeants immediately came out.
Zhang Yu glanced around and unexpectedly discovered that Shi Yanxin was also here. No wonder he had not seen this person during the expedition. It turned out that he had been guarding here before.
Just speaking of it, the situation here is quite subtle. As Yu Xuanzun lost power, the responsibilities borne by his disciples also increased. Liang Yi, Yu Xuanzun's eldest disciple, was sent to the front to fight the enemy, although this was also his own wish.
of.
However, Shi Yanxin was only a named disciple of a certain Xuan Zun, but he was sent to guard this place. It seemed that he did not need to take too much risk.
The entrances to the inner and outer layers will certainly attract the attention of Shangchentian monks and evil gods, but this is above Kuisu. Powers exceeding a certain level will be dealt with by Dai Xuanzun, and below that, how many people can be said to be able to defeat them?
Master Yanxin?
When Shi Yanxin saw him, he also looked surprised, bowed his hands and said, "Why is Zhang Xunhu here?"
Zhang Yudao: "I met Master Hong before and he said that the entrance here could not be closed for a long time, so he asked me to come and make a judgment."
An armored sergeant next to him clasped his fists and said, "It turns out that you are Inspector Zhang. We have been summoned by Director Hong. Please go this way, Inspector."
Zhang Yu nodded and followed them in.
As he had judged, there was a large formation here, and it was a trapping formation. Even if the monks walked in step by step, it would take at least half a summer to reach the center of the formation. In this way, even if an external enemy broke in, the people inside would not be able to reach the center of the formation.
People also have enough time to prepare.
At this time, he asked Master Yanxin: "Fellow Taoist Master, I wonder which fellow Taoist arranged the formation here?"
Shi Yanxin replied: "This place is made up of dozens of stacked array disks, all of which have been sacrificed in advance so that when an abnormality is discovered, the passage to the inner layer can be blocked in time.
If people come here to arrange things, they will be slow and prone to accidents."
Zhang Yu asked: "But I don't know how many people in Kuisu are good at formations?"
Shi Yanxin looked at him and said, "Is Zhang Xunhu interested in the battle method?"
Zhang Yudao: "This time I went to Guo Xing and was trapped in a forbidden formation. Fortunately, I got out with the guidance of a comrade. Unfortunately, this comrade died in the battle in the end. So I thought, if I could do the same
If you understand some formation principles, you won't need to rely on others to help you if you encounter this problem again."
Shi Yanxin nodded and said: "That's it." He thought for a while and said: "In terms of formations, the ones who are best at this are Wen Shuwen and Xue Lin.
They are true cultivators. Fellow Daoist Wen is good at breaking and resolving formations, Fellow Daoist Xue is good at setting up formations, and there are many small formations in Tanquan Prefecture that were laid out by Fellow Daoist Xue."
Zhang Yudao: "I have met Taoist friend Wen. Do you know this Taoist friend Xue, fellow Taoist master?"
Master Yanxin thought for a while and said: "I can write a letter for Zhang Xunhu. Daoyou Xue has a dull temper. If he really asks for help, he will usually lend a hand to help. However, he has a junior brother who is quite prejudiced against Xuanxiu.
, if Zhang Xunhu goes to see him, try to avoid this person."
After Zhang Yu nodded and thanked him, he came down and exchanged some cultivation experiences with him. Both of them felt that they had gained something. As they spoke, they came to the center of the array. He looked at the mist not far ahead,
Said: "Fellow Taoist Master, do you know where this leads to the inner layer?"
Master Yanxin shook his head and said: "I have never tried it before, but the patrol should know that the more exchanges between the inner and outer layers, the larger the gap will be. If someone or something crosses this boundary, it will probably exist for a longer time.
"
Zhang Yu nodded. He walked to the front under the gaze of everyone, tried to sense it, and found that there was a very strange energy there.
His Qi is like a calm lake surface, which is inadvertently touched by a fallen leaf or something else and causes a splash of water. As long as there are no external objects to disturb it, it will converge on its own until it disappears.
But if foreign things continue to disturb this place, it will continue to be turbulent. Just like his current exploration, it actually prolonged it for a while, and the monks who came here also felt the same reaction inside.
this matter.
But there is no way around it. In order to determine the situation here, these actions are inevitable.
Now his cultivation of Taoism is extremely advanced, and his judgment of internal and external objects is also extremely accurate. After looking at it for a while, he made a judgment and said: "Looking at it now, if there is no external interference, this place will be half
It will take time to recover."
The armored sergeant said: "Is it possible for Inspector Zhang to be sure?"
Zhang Yudao: "If stability can be maintained here, this will be the case."
A Taoist priest nearby said at this time: "Zhang Xunhu can rest assured, with us watching here, there will definitely be no accidents. I just hope that Zhang Xunhu will not judge..."
Before he could speak, the mist suddenly surged, and everyone's expressions changed. Looking at this situation, it was clear that something was coming out from the inner layer.
