After reading the manuscript in his hand, Zhang Yu picked up the rest of the manuscript and flipped through it all.

He wasn't wrong before, what was mentioned in the manuscript was indeed the method of breaking through the realm of Xuan Xiu.

Although there was no specific date on the manuscript, he could feel that the earliest paper manuscript was probably more than a hundred years ago, and there were the most batches around seventy or eighty years ago.

It's just that most of these methods are unproven ideas, just staying on paper, whether they can be realized, it is unknown, it seems that the owner of the manuscript should have sorted out and copied from other places.

Since he himself walked on this path and paid special attention to the practice of the Dao, in his opinion, most of these ideas seemed a bit superficial, and even if he continued to follow them, there were still many problems that needed to be gradually perfected and solved.

But it is not without merit, and some of the ideas of others have also opened up his thinking and made him have a lot of new insights.

After all, Xuan Xiu needs to constantly communicate with his fellow Daoists in order to grow, all along, he has been groping alone, and now he sees this, if he communicates with these Xuan Xiu in the air, although it is only one-sided.

It's just that he also has doubts here, these things should be left by Xuan Xiu, even if Cao Daoren is not a descendant of the Zhengqing lineage, he also belongs to the faction that is extremely hostile to Xuan Xiu. Since his people are committed to suppressing Xuan Xiu, why do they still want to leave these things?

He deduced that there were two possibilities here:

One is that these things may be handed over to whom they will be handed over in the future, and who exactly they will be, and it is impossible to figure out now.

The other possibility is even greater, these people from the Zhengqing faction want to block the path of metaphysical cultivation, so they are also exploring the way of metaphysical cultivation.

If this is the case, this generation is not only killing talents, I am afraid that they are also thinking of cutting off the inheritance of metaphysical cultivation from the Fa.

However, these manuscripts have the same handwriting, and it can be seen that they are not rubbings, and they have not been carefully organized, so it is likely that these things are in Cao Daoren's private collection, and may not have been transferred to others to see.

If that's the case, it's a blessing.

He thought about it, these things are also the brainchild of his predecessors after all, even if he didn't take the passage road in the end, it doesn't necessarily mean that the road is wrong, and it is very likely that he doesn't have the ability to complete it, so he put these things away properly.

After putting away these things, he moved those letters to the front, and then he found that on the top were actually some documents related to him, which described in detail some of the Taoist magical powers he had used in front of people, as well as his achievements in the past two years, and even some of his experiences in Qingyang Shangzhou.

These should have been collected piecemeal, so they are not complete, but when they are put together, they also summarize some things.

There are also some notes below the text, judging from the handwriting, it is the same person as Fang Cai's manuscript, which should be written by Cao Daoren himself, which writes in detail how to deal with him and where to start.

It was the first time for him to see the evaluation of himself by others in such a direct way, and it was still from the hands of the enemy, and the analysis in it did not carry any emotions, it was the most practical judgment.

When he looked at this, he had the feeling that he was looking in a very clear mirror, and even the slightest flaw could be reflected in it.

It's just that this annotation has not been written, and many things are incomplete, and it seems that Cao Daoren is constantly observing him, but now he doesn't have that opportunity.

He took the documents about himself and continued to flip them down, but his eyes were slightly condensed, and he found that almost all the objects recorded in these documents were Xuan Xiu who was expected to break through the realm.

There are many monks in it that he has never heard of, but there are also some that he is familiar with, such as Shi Yanxin, Liang Yi, Yao Zhenjun and other figures, and even Yu Ruiqing's account, judging from the date, it should be that his people participated in the battle to encircle and suppress Lu Xuanhe to attract the attention of these people.

He flipped through it for a while, and saw that there were more detailed records and analyses of all the exercises and supernatural powers of all the people here, and the advantages and disadvantages of these people were listed one by one.

Because these involve the privacy of others, he will not go deep into them without the consent of these colleagues, so after a little translation, he put away these accounts and prepared to find a suitable time to return them to the original owner.

On the one hand, it is to remind them that there is an enemy who is secretly snooping, and on the other hand, the enemy often sees themselves better than themselves, believing that these things are also useful to them, and there is no need to destroy them like this.

After removing the above descriptions of Xuan Xiu, all that remained was Cao Daoren's correspondence with others.

Although these letters do not leave specific names and surnames, and the handwriting is illegible, with the help of the paper and some of the contents and clues shown on them, it is still possible to find out who is behind them if you look closely.

He thought for a moment, Cao Daoren didn't leave this thing carelessly, but seemed to have deliberately kept it for self-preservation, because it involved some secrets.

After carefully reading all the letters, he gave an order and asked Qingshu to bring Cao Daoren's disciples over for questioning one by one.

Most of these disciples were asking and answering, and most of the time they remained silent, obviously losing and negative attitudes, and they had not yet fully adjusted.

However, the young disciple named Liu Fang before was very cooperative, and without him asking, he took the initiative to explain many things, and also tried his best to recall some details he remembered.

He learned from these disciples that Cao Kang had been walking around the inner and outer layers, mainly to deal with some talents in the Xuan Cultivation.

He had never come to Kuisu before, this was because Yu Xuanzun was in charge, and this Xuanzun attached great importance to Xuanzun's juniors, so he didn't dare to come over until Yu Xuanzun was withdrawn, so he brought people here.

And it was not Cao Daoren who did this, and some true cultivators were also secretly involved, but Liu Fang didn't know much, and it was Chang Er who followed Cao Daoren for the longest time, but this person had been beheaded by him before.

After questioning all the disciples, Zhang Yu ordered Qingshu to step back and sit alone in the hall, looking at the flowers blooming in the courtyard.

Cao Daoren has been active since more than 100 years ago, and many of the talents in the Xuan Cultivation have suffered from them.

They usually don't kill people directly, but use some sneaky methods to dampen Xuan Xiu's handsome mind, and only when they encounter some determined people who know that ordinary means are useless, will they try to deal with them.

This generation's intentions are extremely sinister, although it is difficult to find the upper realm of Xuan Xiu, but countless Xuan Xiu are exploring its way, and those outstanding characters are the most promising among them, maybe one day they will be able to find a certain path suitable for walking, and benefit the Tao, but now they are stirred by this generation, and some people are stifled by life.

But he also understood that the root cause of this matter was because as the number of Xuan Xiu increased, more and more of the authority that belonged to the True Cultivation was encroached upon or touched, but the upper echelons of Xuan Xiu did not have enough strength to maintain these, so this situation appeared.

His eyes sparkled, although he was not yet capable of eradicating this generation, there were some things he could do.

He called out, and after a while, Xu Chengtong walked in from outside, bowed down and said, "What do you have to do with the patrol?"

Zhang Yudao: "Deacon Xu, you go to check a few things for me." He stretched out his hand and pushed the letters exchanged between Cao Daoren and others to the front, "Try to find out where these letters came from and who sent them, and then come back to report to me." ”

Xu Chengtong stepped forward and stretched out his hand to take it, he glanced at it a few times, and said with confidence: "Just leave the patrol to Xu, Xu has often done such verification things in the past, and he will definitely be able to find out the people behind these letters." ”

Zhang Yu nodded slightly, and after Xu Chengtong retreated, he threw out the jade chips, and arranged a simple formation inside and outside the lobby, and straightened his body at the back end, reconciled his mind, and entered the center after a while.

Some time ago, he did not gain much from the retreat of pursuing the "self", and he was not able to find the key to it, but he was able to master the three steps summed up by his predecessors after trying it, and this time he did it as soon as he settled down.

It was only a moment later that he first felt that all the heavens and the earth had retreated, leaving only himself alone, and then he also faded away.

If the traces of consciousness, mind, induction, and so on from himself are deeply on the blank paper of this world, then now this trace will slowly fade away in his meditation.

However, if you allow all these traces to disappear, it is a complete denial of self-existence, even if the original body is still there, it is still a walking corpse, so you need to master the degree of this.

"Holding on to me" must exist, just like the roots of a tree are firmly nailed there, so that "he and me" can be attracted to vote, so this step is just "retreating from me to find the truth", not "renouncing myself to be true".

It's just that in the past, monks who practiced according to this method often did not control this inner degree well, and if they crossed it slightly, it would be a loss of self, and if they did not retreat enough, they would not be able to enter the last step.

The test here is the qualitative practice of the cultivator, and without a certain amount of Taoism and practice, it is true that this step cannot be achieved, let alone the need to sit and feel and seek the self.

At this moment, as he calmed down, the traces in the world were almost indifferent, but there was still a trace of existence, which could maintain his existence.

As he continued to sit still, something gradually emerged, but at this time, he suddenly felt that there were two clear "other me" on his side, and they resonated with himself in a certain way, as if he could become one with himself with a single call.

He opened his eyes, his gaze fell, and in front of him were the two swords of "Cicada Singing" and "Shocking Sky", and at this moment these two long swords were trembling slightly, and let out a light roar.

He stared at it for a moment, his mind moved slightly, and the two flying swords turned into two dazzling streamers, and then jumped in unison, and slashed at him!
