In the afternoon light, the shuttle boat hovered over the inner lake of the Great Rift Valley.

Zhang Yu stood up from the seat in the main cabin, and then took out a white branch from the Lingguan tree from his sleeve, raised his sleeve slightly, put it in the palm of his other hand, and then started to communicate with Lingguan.

In the past few moments, the fog on the lake in the rift valley slowly opened, getting bigger and bigger, and gradually spreading over the entire surface of the lake.

Originally, the fog outside the boundary gap was only enough for a creature that was not too big to pass through, and the same was true for the flying boats of the Frost Continent people who could not pass through it before, so they could only enter it by themselves.

And as the master of the Spirit Gate, he can enlarge the entrance and send this flying boat into it as well.

When the fog expansion was over, he put away the white branch and said to Wu Ze: "Elder Wu, you can enter the boundary gap." ”

Wu Ze looked at the mist, his eyes behind his glasses were a little inquiring, he pressed his hand on Yuchen, and the boat slowly sank into the mist with lightning, until the entire boat was engulfed.

When he could see the outside again, he found that there was no longer the desolate rift valley in front of him, but a huge and wide waterfall, and the sounds of green plants and various creatures poured into his senses from all directions.

"Is this the Gap......

He couldn't help but look at this vibrant world.

Zhang Yudao: "Elder Wu, go ahead, pass through the Great Plains, and Lingguan is in front of the mountains in the north. ”

Wu Ze drove the flying boat to the north according to his words, the flying boat was very fast, and it didn't take long to cross the Great Plains, but then the mountain plain shrouded in white smoke and dust also came into view, he was a little surprised, and said: "This place has been bombarded by the Xuan soldiers?"

Zhang Yu replied briefly: "It was done by the people of Shuangzhou. ”

Wu Ze raised his head, the white sky in front of him made his glasses reflect a white light, he pushed it, and said, "It really looks like their way of doing things." ”

On top of a remnant hill in front of them, there are a number of houses, which were established by Fan Lan and Qi Wu with their disciples, and the arrival of this huge flying boat also alarmed the two.

They all walked out of their residences, looking at the Xuanhun cicada wing pattern above the flying boat, the two of them were slightly relieved.

When the ship came closer, it hovered over the wasteland that had been razed into a wasteland, and the tentacles under its belly reached the ground first, and the body of the boat slowly sank down.

After a while, the hatch screwed open, and Zhang Yu walked down the tentacle ladder, while Wu Ze followed behind him.

When Fan Lan and Qi Wu saw that it was him, their expressions were relieved, and they immediately came up to greet him.

After Zhang Yu met with them, he introduced Wu Ze to the two of them, and Wu Ze knew that Zhang Yu must have something to explain to Fan Lan and others, so after saying hello, he consciously said goodbye and returned to the flying boat.

Fan Lan invited Zhang Yu into the house, and after sitting down, he said: "Recently, I went to the other end of the gap with Senior Brother Qi to explore, and it is true that as Senior Brother Zhang said, the boundary there is also desolate and lacks vitality, but after we crossed the snowy mountains, we also made some discoveries. ”

There was a slight hint of excitement in Qi Wu's voice, and he said, "Senior Brother Fan and I have both seen the flying boat engraved with the Xuanhun cicada wing pattern passing by the sky, and it has been more than once!"

"Oh?"

Zhang Yu's heart moved, since there is this kind of flying boat flying over, it is difficult to say whether it is another Shangzhou, but it must be the existence of the Tianxia force.

Fan Lan said: "It's just a pity that every time we see the flying boat, we are far away, and we don't have time to get close, so we don't know where it's going." ”

Qi Wu said: "Because those flying boats are all going in one direction, I discussed it with Senior Brother Fan, and decided that after making sure preparations, I would try to explore there in depth." ”

Zhang Yu understood that these two were actually not at ease with the disciples here, after all, after they left, there would still be a certain threat to the divine descendants of the Iga God Clan here. He said, "I have brought a tame abyss ape this time, and I am planning to place it here, where it can protect all the disciples. ”

After Fan Lan came to Qingyang Shangzhou, he had tried to understand the spiritual creatures in the continent, and Yuan Ape had also heard of it, and he said happily: "If there are such creatures to protect each other, then Senior Brother Qi and I can rest assured." ”

He thought about it again, "Some time ago, those Iga people sent some envoys over, saying that they wanted to become our vassals, but Senior Brother Zhang was not there, and I didn't give them an exact reply. ”

Zhang Yuyan said: "If this generation is willing to accept my Tianxia Lile education, written language, then the two senior brothers should allow them to follow." ”

Fan Lan couldn't help but nodded.

After the three of them talked a few more words, Fan Lan said with emotion: "Unknowingly, it has been nearly a year since I came to Qingyang, if you count the distance here, but it has been a whole year. ”

Zhang Yudao: "I should pay attention to this matter, and as soon as there is news from the East Court, I will inform Senior Brother Fan in time." ”

As they spoke, a huge whirlpool opened in the sky above the East Courtyard Metropolitan Protectorate, far away in the open sea, and then several flying boats came out of it.

It has been nearly a year since Dongting has resumed contact with the mainland, and now it is much more convenient to come and go, and now from time to time there will be flying boats from Qingyang Shangzhou or other flying boats from the capital that have returned to the mainland, so the people of Dongting have become accustomed to such a scene.

At this moment, an inconspicuous flying boat separated from the flying boat queue and landed on a mooring roof in Dan Harbor, followed by bursts of clear fog sprayed up.

After a while, the hatch screwed open, revealing two men, both wearing hooded overalls that sheltered them from the wind and rain, their faces hidden in their hoods.

The burly man on the left spoke, "This is the Eastern Courtyard Protectorate, I hope to find the person we are looking for." ”

The man on the right: "Where to go first?"

The burly man said: "This matter is not in a hurry, and we are not familiar with the surrounding environment, so we will find a place to live first, and then go to the Sihu Office to check some things." ”

The man on the right looked like he was the only one and did not speak.

The two showed their rosters when they walked out of the rooftop of the platform, and they were arranged by the officials of Dangang to be in a nearby guest house.

They rested here for one night, and the next day, they went to the Sihu Office with the same list, claiming that they were appointed by the two governments to check some things, and Xiao Qingzhan, the head of the Sihu Office, heard that the two were from Qingyang, and took the time to talk to them.

Now the news of Zhang Yu's appointment as Xuanzheng has also reached the Eastern Court, so Xiao Qingzhan can't help but mention that his brother Xiao Qingshu and Zhang Yu originally admired each other, but his brother died young because of the murder of gangsters.

The two of them cooperated with him for a few words, and then they smoothly entered the household scroll office, and they pulled out some old records, especially the roster of soldiers and civilians before the turbidity tide was cut off sixty years ago, and quickly found what they wanted to find.

After they left, Xiao Qingzhan turned back again, personally flipped through the documents that the two had checked, and then found the servant and said, "Report the whereabouts and appearance of these two people to Director Xiang." ”

The servant was taken aback and said, "Mr. thinks these two people are fake identities?"

Xiao Qingzhan said lightly: "The identity is not fake, and the roster is also true, but these two people don't talk and behave like government officials, and they are also secretive about their origins. ”

The servant understood, bowed down and said, "The villain is here." ”

The two men left the Sito Office, and when they made sure that no one was following them, they hired a boat and sailed straight overseas, reaching Kanejima on the fourth day.

The island is not large, with only about 100 families living on it, but there is an elderly man named Rui Xiang, who once participated in the battle of the Honghe Pass, and this person is quite respected by the island's residents.

After the two went to the island, they asked him where he lived, visited him directly, and after showing the roster to Rui Xiang's family, they were invited in.

Rui Lao already had some guesses about the origin of the two, and after seeing the two of them, he was even more sure in his heart, so he retreated and said, "What is the matter with the two of you coming to find the old man?"

The burly man asked, "Old Rui, do you remember your identity?"

Rui Lao was silent for a while, and sighed: "It's hard for you to come here, but I have already resigned from the army, and I have been living in seclusion here for nearly forty years, what else can I do for you?"

The burly man said: "Rui Lao came to the East Court since he was a child, and he has spent more than 60 years here, I don't know what he has gained?"

"Harvest?" Rui Lao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he raised his head and asked, "What, is the plan still going on?"

The burly man said firmly: "We have never given up, and I believe that Rui Lao should not have forgotten it." ”

Rui Lao sighed again and said: "Yes, although no one has forced me to do anything over the years, I still remember the picture that he painted to me back then, well, I have a little gain here, but I can't be sure, you need to find another person, maybe you can find the answer in him." ”

The burly man asked, "Who is this man?"

Rui Lao motioned for him to stretch out his palm, and then wrote a name in his palm with his hand, and said: "I can only help you here, and also, you don't do things too out of line, even if you don't ask about it, there is a Xuanzheng in Xuanfu here, and you won't show mercy because you are from the mainland." ”

The burly man nodded and said, "We will listen to Rui Lao's suggestion, and besides, we want to ask Rui Lao about one more thing, here in the East Garden, is there an organization called the Restoration God Society?"

Rui Lao replied: "Yes, what are you asking about this? I only remember that one of the leaders of the Restoration Society was headed by Zhang Xuan, and now after that Zhang Xuanzheng was killed, this organization has disappeared. ”

The burly man nodded, he stood up, and arched his hand: "Thank you Rui Lao, Rui Lao's help, we will remember." After a pause, he said again: "Elder Rui, you can rest assured, if you don't want to, we won't appear in front of you again in the future, and you can continue to live the life you want overseas." ”
