The little girl said: "I was looking for my uncle. My uncle just went out and will be back soon. Sir, you might as well come inside and sit down first."
Zhang Yudao: "If nothing happens, I will wait here. He will be back soon."
The little girl thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and ran away. She called the children and ran into the house together. After a while, they worked together to move a wooden stool out, placed it in front of Zhang Yu, and said crisply:
: "Sir, please sit down."
Zhang Yu glanced at her and did not refuse her kindness. He also sat down here. Seeing that the little girl was quite intelligent, especially her clear black and white eyes, which contained a sense of spirituality, he asked: "What's your name?"
What’s your name? How old are you this year?”
The little girl obviously received a good education and replied: "Sir, my name is Shan Zhaorong. She is eight years old this year."
Zhang Yu learned from the letter sent by Yu Mingyang that the elder brother of his wife's family was currently working in the Sihu Yamen Office.
Although the two families were originally very different, the other party took the initiative to get married. The main reason was because Yu Mingyang was his student.
He said: "Have you ever entered school?"
The little girl said: "I have already entered school. I studied at home school for two years before entering school. I can only barely recognize a few words and recite a few children's poems."
Zhang Yu looked at her for a few times, then nodded and said, "If you want to practice Taoism in the future, you can go to Taiyang Academy to study first, then let me recommend you."
The little girl looked at him with clear and clear eyes and said, "Thank you sir, may I ask his name?"
As he was talking, he heard the sound of horse hooves, and not far away, a creation chariot and horse turned around. At the front were two horses, and on both sides were a group of fully armed indigenous soldiers, all of whom were walking.
With neat steps, the "kuku" sound of the military boots under his feet was heard.
Zhang Yu rolled up his sleeves and stood up.
Before the carriage reached the front, it suddenly stopped and stopped. Yu Mingyang hurriedly stepped out of the carriage, looked ahead, and said in surprise: "Sir?"
Zhang Yan took a look at Yu Mingyang. This student was only in his early twenties, but now he had a beard and was wearing a dark robe of a government official. He looked quite mature, steady, and dignified.
Yu Mingyang's face was filled with excitement. He walked quickly to Zhang Yu, clasped his hands together and said, "Student Yu Mingyang, please pay your respects to Mr. Zhang."
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Zhang Yu and said, "I don't know if the students didn't greet you from a distance when you arrived. It's rude of the students."
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand to support you and said: "No need to be polite, I just came back today and passed by the city, so I stopped by to see you."
Yu Mingyang said apologetically: "Sir, when he comes back, the students should pick him up, but he is actually asked to come to the door. The students are really sorry." He raised his head at this time, took a step sideways, and said: "Sir, please come in and sit down."
Under his care, the middle door of the house was opened wide, and Zhang Yu was invited in.
The people living around the house here are all officials from the six major government offices in the Duhu Mansion. When everyone saw this scene, they all asked each other about Zhang Yu's origins.
"Who was the one who entered just now?"
"Isn't Yu Zhinong's teacher the former Zhang Xuanshou?"
"That person just now was Zhang Xuanshou?"
"It looks like I saw Henry Zhang in front of the government office a few years ago."
"Hey, I heard that Zhang Xuanshou was awarded the title of Xuanzang by Xuanting in Qingyang Shangzhou. He is on an equal footing with Yizhouzhou Mu. I didn't expect him to be so arrogant."
"As soon as Henry Zhang came back, he went to Yu Zhinong's house. It seems that their teacher-student relationship is really good."
"That's right. I heard that Yu Zhinong's sons were all named after Zhang Xuan."
Listening to everyone's discussion, the little girl who had been talking to Zhang Yu looked towards the inner courtyard, her eyes shining.
After Zhang Yu entered the main hall, Yu Mingyang invited him to sit down in the main seat, while he stood beside him. After Zhang Yu signaled him, he sat down.
Zhang Yudao: "It seems that your official career is going quite smoothly now."
Yu Mingyang said: "It's also thanks to the foundation laid by the teacher in the past. The students are just pretending to be powerful. These barbarians are afraid of power and have no morals. If it weren't for Mr. Xuanfu who is here to control them, they won't be able to reason with us."
Zhang Yudao: "The letter you sent before said that many tribes have migrated deep to the east of Anshan Mountain."
Yu Mingyang's expression became serious and he said: "Exactly. Especially in the past few years since the teacher left, many tribes, large and small, have emerged.
These barbarians couldn't explain the situation clearly. They just said that they had obtained the oracle after performing sacrifices, so they moved west. Judging from these news, something should be awakening deep in the dense forest. Now both the capital and Xuanfu are actively preparing.
With."
Zhang Yu thought thoughtfully, in fact, when the remnants of the Blood Sun desperately launched an invasion into the area of the Protectorate, there was a saying that this person was actually trying to avoid some kind of danger.
However, now that the Dongting Protectorate and Qingyang Tianxia mainland have restored contact, they no longer have to rely on the Protectorate for support as before, and they can certainly cope with any powerful enemy.
Yu Mingyang said: "It's rare for you to come here, so why not stay in the student residence and let the students entertain you well?"
Zhang Yudao: "I'm going to Xuanfu tomorrow, so I'll stay here for one night first."
Yu Mingyang was very happy. At this time, he slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, the student also prepared some gifts for the teacher, but they have been unable to send them to Qingyang smoothly. The teacher will wait for a while, and the student will get them now."
He went down to take care of it, and not long after, two servants came up with a square table with brocade boxes of different sizes placed on it.
He bowed his hands and said: "The student knows that the teacher loves antiques. These are the ancient things donated by the barbarian tribes and exchanged by the students while walking among the tribes."
Zhang Yu lowered his gaze and saw that there were indeed some ancient objects in the brocade box, and some of them could still feel a little heat. It took Yu Mingyang a lot of thought to come up with these. He nodded and said: "You are serious.
"
Yu Mingyang said: "Actually, it's not just the students. An Chu'er and the Grand Governor are also collecting such things, and they are preparing to donate them to Sir."
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "You all have your heart."
He stayed one night at Yu Mingyang's residence, and on the second day, he did not let Yu Mingyang see him off, but went to Taiyang Academy by himself.
He was walking on the road, but no one around him seemed to have seen him. Even if he came face to face, they would avoid him unconsciously.
Soon he arrived in front of the Taiyang Academy. Looking at the gate where many students came in and out, he stepped on the steps and walked into the academy.
Along the way, he passed through familiar roads in his memory, and finally came to the old house where he originally lived. Because Taiyang Academy had always reserved this place for him, from a distance, it still maintained its old appearance.
But at this moment, in front of the door, there was a young scribe pacing back and forth. He stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "I don't want Brother Liu to be here. It's been a long time since I last saw him."
Liu Guang turned around, looked at him in surprise, smiled, and said with his hands in hand: "I knew Brother Zhang would definitely come back here. Brother Zhang, stay well."
Zhang Yu saw that his expression and appearance were the same as before, and said: "Brother Liu's style remains the same."
Liu Guang smiled and said: "I have been practicing the breathing method that Brother Zhang taught me."
Zhang Yu turned to look at his residence. Liu Guang looked at it and said, "Every half month, someone from the Academy will come here to clean the place. Someone will take care of the bamboos, trees, flowers and plants in front of the door and in the backyard."
Zhang Yu nodded, turned around and walked towards his residence.
Liu Guang stood in the courtyard and did not follow.
Zhang Yu walked up to the steps, pushed gently, and the door was opened inward. Looking at it, he saw that the furnishings in the room were indeed the same as before he left.
He looked up at the beam above. Back then, Mr. Miaodan liked to live in a bamboo basket hanging below the beam.
He stepped forward and walked into the backyard. The stone benches and chairs were still there. The gentle breeze came and the bamboo trees in the garden rustled. He stood here. At this moment, he seemed to be able to see himself holding a sword and practicing his sword skills here.
figure.
After standing for a while, he turned into the house again and walked up the stairs to the platform on the roof. The soft couch he had left here was not taken away, and it still looked the same as when he left.
He came to the edge of the platform and stood there, looking at the things in front of him. How many times had he looked at the entire academy and even Ruiguang City in the distance from here.
Looking at all this now, a burst of gratitude suddenly surged in his heart. This gratitude was so intense that it made his mood that had been quiet for a long time stir again.
At this moment, he called out in his heart, and a turbid light curtain appeared on the side of his body, but the Great Dao Hun Zhang appeared next to him, and he used all the energy accumulated in his body during this period.
Yuan crossed in and entered.
In the chapter book, a seal engraved in white text is slowly emerging, as if a layer of mist is receding above it. It is extremely blurry at first, and then gradually becomes clear, and finally the two words "正我" are revealed.
He glanced at the seal. With this seal, he could find all kinds of "external selves" by simply injecting divine energy. In addition, coupled with his own realization, he was close to finding the last Yuan.
Not far away.
As soon as his mind changed, he took Dao Hun Zhang back, walked down from the top of the platform, and when he was about to leave the residence, he cupped his hands to Liu Guang and said, "Brother Liu, you are neglecting me."
Liu Guang also bowed his head and said with a smile: "Where, when Brother Zhang returns to his old place for the first time, he will inevitably be touched by the scene, and I understand that."
Zhang Yu glanced in the direction of Xuan Mansion at this time and said: "I still need to stay in the Dongting Protector's Mansion for a while. Today I need to go to Xuan Mansion first, and I will visit Brother Liu another day."
Liu Guang nodded clearly and said, "Okay, then I'll meet you another day."
Zhang Yu said goodbye to him, then turned around and walked in the direction of Xuanfu. His clothes were flowing, his feet seemed to be slow and fast, and the light on his body danced. After every step, he appeared farther away, just ten seconds away.
After taking a breath, we arrived at the open space of Dongtingxuan Mansion.
