Chapter 154: Trace
Bai Zhou left the Kuisu Earth Star and crossed through the Heavenly Gate, this time he came to the center of the West Dome Heaven, the Pleiades, where Zhang Yu had also come the last time he chased Cao Kang.
Bai Zhou went out of the gate of heaven, went directly to the Pleiades star, and finally landed in a prosperous state city called Inzhi Prefecture.
Zhang Yu parked the white boat on the roof of the boat, and took Qingshu and Xu Chengtong and others to the state in a creation chariot and horse, and about half a summer later, they came to a palace where the monks stayed.
Xu Chengtong said in a low voice: "Patrol, this is where Huang Menghuan is." ”
Zhang Yu looked at the past, the shape of this palace is a faction of Tianxia ancient style, high eaves and wide corridors, magnificent and gorgeous, the palace is arranged inward along the middle line, and the palace buildings on both sides are symmetrical.
It's just that what catches his attention more than the buildings are the monks who come and go here.
Generally speaking, true cultivation and metaphysical cultivation rarely stay together in the outer layer, and most of them are distinct, but this place is different, the cultivators who live here have both true cultivation and metaphysical cultivation, and they seem to get along with each other very harmoniously.
This is also a rare situation.
Zhang Yu stretched out his hand, put on his hat, and then stepped down from the carriage, he glanced up at the tall palace above the steps, and walked there.
Xu Chengtong also put on a hood and followed behind with a few disciples.
The disciples on duty before the palace had paid attention to it when Zhang Yu and his party got off the carriage.
The leading disciple saw that Xu Chengtong's mana aura was profound, and Zhang Yu's aura who was walking in the front was even more unpredictable, knowing that they must have an extraordinary background, he didn't dare to slack off, so he personally greeted him, bowed to Zhang Yu, and said, "Is this Shangxiu going to stay in the palace?"
He couldn't tell for a while whether Zhang Yu was a true cultivator or a Xuan cultivator, so at this moment, he could only call him a cultivator.
Zhang Yu's voice came from under the hat and said, "That's what I mean." ”
The disciple immediately stepped sideways and said, "Shangxiu here, please." ”
Zhang Yuwei nodded, followed him into the main gate, he looked at the monks who passed by in twos and threes, and said: "I have been to other stars, but the Xuan Xiu and Zhen Xiu there are all stationed separately from each other, but this place is different, I heard that this is the credit of the Zodiac Cultivation?"
The disciple said proudly: "Yes, everyone says that the truth and the Xuan Tao are incompatible with each other, but Huang Shi has never had that kind of prejudice, he thinks that true cultivation is not appropriate and always avoids the world, but should enter the world to practice in general with Xuan Xiu, and each other is the same line of cultivation, and it should also eliminate the estrangement." ”
Zhang Yu snorted, he came down and asked a few more questions, and he also roughly clarified the situation here.
That zodiac monk allowed such a true and Xuan monk to be here, not because he really eliminated the contradiction between the two, but purely because his personal prestige was high enough to subdue the monks below, and because he expressed enough kindness to Xuan Xiu, so many monks believed him.
And from the inside, most of the monks of the True and Xuan Realms actually keep a distance from each other, which is to draw a big box on the outside and frame the two sides inside.
From the outside, the two sides do seem to get along, but the people inside still follow the original set and have not changed in essence.
After entering the palace, he chose a palace platform on the south side to settle down, and asked, "I don't know where Huang Daoxiu is?" ”
The disciple sighed and said, "That's really unfortunate, Master Huang received an invitation from a fellow Daoist in the inner layer a few days ago to go to a mysterious realm in the inner layer to preach. ”
Zhang Yudao: "Oh, I don't know when Huang Daoxiu left?"
The disciple thought for a moment and said, "I've been gone for about half a month." ”
Zhang Yu's eyes moved slightly, this is a bit of a coincidence, he just decided to take this one half a month ago, and this one left here at that time.
He thought for a while, although he had reported to the Xuan Court before, this Huang Shi did not have the energy to know about the Xuan Court.
Even if Xuanzun learned about this, he would never go out of his way to spread the word to a lower realm monk for this reason, because even if he couldn't find this person today, he would still be able to find him in the future.
So there is only one possibility, this Taoist is profound, when he senses something, maybe he senses some danger, so he dodges forward.
He said, "I don't know where Huang Daoyou went to preach? If possible, I would like to listen to it." ”
The disciple did not doubt him, after all, Master Huang in his eyes was modest and generous, very friendly to anyone, and there was no distinction between Xuan Xiu and True Cultivation in his eyes, and his actions were even more upright, so he didn't have to avoid others wherever he went, he said: "The place where Master Huang went is Yiluo Shangzhou. ”
Zhang Yudao: "Thank you for informing me." ”
The disciple thought that his cultivation was still shallow, but he didn't dare to match his peers, so he hurriedly returned a salute and said, "Senior is polite. If the seniors don't have any instructions, the juniors will leave first. ”
Zhang Yu nodded, and the disciple retreated.
Xu Chengtong saw him leaving, took two steps forward, and said, "Patrol, what should we do when we come down?"
Zhang Yu said lightly: "Since he goes, then I will go to the inner layer to find him." ”
If this person thinks that he can avoid this by hiding in the inner layer, he is thinking too much.
He had made some mental preparations when he came, and he also considered that this person might go elsewhere out of caution, but no matter where he went, he would not let him go.
Speaking of which, he hasn't been back to the inner layer for a long time, and there is still an idea in his practice that needs to be verified, so he can go by the way.
When Xu Chengtong heard that he had gone back to the inner layer, his mood was a little complicated for a while.
He used to practice in the inner layer, and then he went to the outer layer with the teacher, and now he has not been back for nearly a hundred years.
He thought that after joining the ghost city, he was afraid that there would be no possibility of going back in the future, but he didn't expect that there would be an opportunity in front of him.
He froze and said, "I wonder when the patrol plans to leave?"
Zhang Yu walked to the window of the palace, looked at the palace group below, and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, you need to submit a customs declaration in advance to go to the inner layer, and it is not too late to leave tomorrow." ”
The Guan Shu usually has to be tried for a period of time, but it seems that his status as a patrol can be approved as soon as it is handed over, and in addition, there are also highly famous and cultivated cultivators like Huang Menghuan, which are also relatively easy to pass.
He summoned Qingshu, gave him a talisman, and explained a few times, and after the latter took it, he hugged his fists and went to apply for the Guan Shu.
Xu Chengtong also said at this time: "That patrol, Xu also retreated." After receiving a response, he bowed down and withdrew from here.
Zhang Yu stood for a while, then went down the palace platform alone and walked to a large hall behind the palace.
He had heard that this Huang Menghuan had set up a dojo in the palace, and he could let his fellow Taoists come here to preach the Fa, and there were also many Taoist books here, since he had come here, he also wanted to go there to have a look.
Half a moment later, he walked into the rumored Zhongdao Palace, there were indeed a few people preaching there, but after listening to it, they were all some simple truths, mainly for some junior disciples, so he didn't stay, but went to the upper level.
When he walked to the highest place, he saw a stone tablet placed on it, on which was left by Huang Menghuan himself, which claimed that anyone can come here to view the Taoist book seal, but if it is a true cultivation, it is necessary to read a book and leave a book, if it is a metaphysical cultivation, it is necessary to observe a seal and leave a seal.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but think about it.
At this time, a Taoist attendant saw him standing still, took the initiative to greet him, bowed, and said, "This cultivator, do you want to come in and read the book?"
Zhang Yu glanced at him and said, "No need." He didn't step into the library again, but turned and went down the steps.
When the Taoist attendant saw him leaving, he thought for a moment, stepped aside, and told one of his disciples, "Write this down and see which palace he is stationed in, and check the identity of this person." ”
The disciple suddenly became a little nervous and said, "Senior brother, but is there anything wrong with this?"
The Taoist servant said: "Master Huang has instructed before, if a fellow Taoist walks here, and when he sees the stone tablet, not only does not go in, but turns to leave, then he needs to write it down." ”
The disciple asked curiously, "Why is this happening?"
The Taoist servant was suddenly displeased, and scolded: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, remember to do what I told you." ”
The disciple didn't dare to ask again, so he bowed his head and said, "Yes, senior brother." ”
After Zhang Yu returned to the accommodation, he took some accounts of Huang Mengheng's past sermons and looked through them carefully, and while watching, he was also thinking about something.
At nightfall, Qingshu turned back and handed over the book that he had already obtained.
He took it and put it away, then asked Qingshu to go by himself, and after watching the account for a while, he went to the room to sit and practice.
On the second day, he left the palace with the others, returned to the white boat, and went to the inner rooftop at Bisu.
Xu Chengtong said at this time: "Patrol, Xu Mou has always had a question when he was investigating Huang Menghuan, why did this person secretly murder Xuan Xiu on the one hand, but on the other hand, he tried to make Zhen Xiu and Xuan Xiu live in harmony on the surface?"
Zhang Yu said lightly: "If it is inferred from the general situation, it is precisely because he is doing sneaky things in secret that he needs to do this on the surface to cover up his actions.
There is another one, he is a person with no roots, neither a disciple of Xuanzun, nor a powerful master as a backer, and it is impossible for the Zhengqing family to stand up to support him, so he also needs to use his good name to protect himself. ”
Xu Chengtong couldn't help but admire: "That's the case, the patrol woke up the person in this dream with a word." Then he spit angrily and said: "That Huang Menghuan is really a shameless and treacherous person!"
Zhang Yu actually didn't say a word, if you look at it at a deeper level, Huang Menghuan's behavior may be related to this person's martial arts.
It's just that I haven't seen him yet, so I can't make a complete conclusion.
Bai Zhou has come to the rooftop that carries the entrance and exit of the inner and outer layers at this moment, looking down, it can be seen that there is a huge hole like a wellhead in the middle of the rooftop, there is a dazzling white light overflowing from the inside, and there is a circle of light mist flashing with thunder at the edge, and looking inside, it is far-reaching and endless.
Seeing this boundary, everyone in the boat no longer spoke, but watched silently.
Zhang Yumu looked at this, and slowly descended with his mind, and sank into the entrance and exit portal, and after a violent flash of light, the entire white boat disappeared.
