Under the bamboo forest in the backyard, Zhang Yu was wearing a Taoist robe, and he was slowly running the sword momentum here, realizing the intersection of ideas between the sword and the mind, and the light on his body fluttered with his breath.

After a long time, he withdrew his sword and put it back in its sheath.

Although there is a seal of "sword harmony", the communication between people and swords does not end there.

This sword weapon was built and refined by his teacher, but many of the supernatural powers in it were limited by his own cultivation and had not yet been able to exert it, and now he could only exert the power that the sword weapon should have as much as possible under limited conditions.

However, he also found that his attack methods were all pinned on the sword, which was too extreme.

If the sword weapon is damaged in any way, or because of some change and it is out of his control, then his strength will be greatly reduced. In the middle of the battle, it is a fatal flaw.

So in addition to this, you should also have other ways to fight the enemy.

He stepped aside, picked up the scarlet gloves from the bamboo frame and put them on.

This pair of gloves is actually also a magic weapon, which was given to him by the teacher along with the Xia Sword that day.

But compared to Xia Jian, this thing doesn't seem to be worthy of the name of a magic weapon at all.

Because this thing does not have the power to break through the surface of the spirit, at most it can only provide a layer of protection for his hands when facing enemies, and his teacher has never said that this glove is magical.

And now, in the case of a light in the heart, this thing seems to be a little chicken.

But recently, with the improvement of his true breath technique, in the continuous breathing, he gradually discovered that this pair of gloves can also change with his own breath.

So he thought that according to the old cultivator, a magic weapon that had not been handed by a human was like the most primitive rough blank, which needed to be refined and polished by the monk himself, so as to gradually bring out his inner potential, such as the communication between him and Xia Jian before.

It made him feel that he might not have been able to find the right way to use this thing before.

The reason here should not be his negligence, but that some magic weapons first need the owner to have a certain amount of cultivation, and at the same time, this thing is created for the old cultivation, so it also needs to use the breathing method of the old cultivation to induce.

Perhaps his teacher didn't think his breathing technique could reach this level, so he didn't mention it.

Now that he was aware of it, he tried to see if he could get extra help from it.

Although he didn't know what the correct method of sacrifice was, he thought that since the breathing method could help him to draw and communicate, it was always right to do it.

In fact, it was just as he thought, with the gradual efforts of the past few days, now every time he stared at this glove, even if he didn't use the light of his heart, he could feel that there would be an echo from above at the same time, and between the flicks of his fists, there would be the sound of wind and thunder.

He sat down on the futon in the courtyard, closed his eyes and meditated, breathed and breathed, and in a short time a thin glimmer of light appeared on the pair of vermilion gloves, and fell with his breathing.

It took almost half a summer for him to come out of his sitting.

He gathered his mind, stood up, took off his gloves and put them back on the bamboo frame, and then walked to the stone case behind the bamboo branch, but saw that Miao Danjun was lying on the soft cushion of the stone case and dozing off, his tail swinging there.

He walked over, reached out and stroked his back a few times, rippling a cloud of colored mist, and then sat down on the stone bench beside him, took today's newspaper, and flipped through it.

There hasn't been any news that is too noteworthy recently, and with the joint efforts of the Academy Palace and the Security Patrol Association, there are very few denigrations and denigrations of him in the newspapers.

Not only that, after the Yao clan was completely silent, the three schools led by the Linning School Palace were still advocating and promoting their own candidates for the Shi Council, but now they are slowly dying down.

The main reason for this is that after the beginning of the year, several elderly people over the age of 100 have spoken out in the newspapers one after another in support of him.

These people all became Tianxia scholars sixty years ago, and now many of the officials in the Imperial Protectorate Office are the descendants of their students, and their influence is not ordinary.

The most important thing is that compared to the rhetoric in the newspapers, the people at the bottom of the Metropolitan Protectorate obviously believe in these elders who had protected the Metropolitan Protectorate in the First Battle of the Honghe River and were highly respected.

Zhang Yu has seen the specific deeds of these people, more than 40 years ago, they had proposed at the scholars' meeting for several consecutive years that they wanted the capital to restore the previous ritual system pattern headed by the Xuanfu and followed by the capital protectorate.

However, after a series of failures, they realized that this pattern could not be changed, so they simply stopped participating in future discussions, and lived in seclusion outside Tenghai, never setting foot in the land of the capital again.

He thought about it for a while, more than forty years ago, and more than ten years after the end of the Battle of Honghe Pass, it happened to be the time when the power of the previous Yang Dadu Governor was at its peak, and his prestige also reached its peak at the same time.

It's normal that those few councils didn't change anything. Because after the Great War, the new pattern of the Eastern Court Protectorate had been stabilized, and at that time, people were determined that they did not want to carry out another internal struggle.

Even if it is the Xuanfu itself, Qi Yu is still leading a dozen students to work hard to restore the vitality of the Xuanfu at this time, I am afraid that he has no heart to pursue these.

And these elders are coming now, not just to support him, presumably they also saw that the turbidity tide is about to disappear, and the Metropolitan Protectorate is about to usher in another change.

It's just that after this change, whether it will usher in a new life or go into decline, no one can say for sure.

He read the newspaper and put it aside, thinking about it himself.

Although there are still more than ten days before the Shi Council, he has already learned from the Xue Gong and the Xuan Mansion in advance that this year, the Shi Council has set the specific start date on the fifth day of the second month.

It's just that the vast majority of the famous people in the Metropolitan Protectorate were gathered during the Shi Meeting, and a large number of dignitaries and nobles were present, plus there were too many changes in Ruiguang City last year, so this time the protection will be unprecedentedly strengthened, not to mention the participation of most of the Lingming Xuanxiu in the Xuan Mansion, and even the military of the Divine Captain Army may also appear, and I am afraid that it will be another open and secret battle.

Li Qinghe walked into the backyard at this time, holding a box of things in his hand, and said, "Sir, someone has sent a gift again." ”

Zhang Yu asked, "Who sent it?"

If someone in the Protectorate repulses him, then naturally there will be people who are optimistic about him and want to befriend him in advance.

Recently, there have been a lot of people who have come to give gifts, but unless they have known each other in the past, or have been introduced by acquaintances, he will generally return them directly.

Li Qinghe replied: "It was sent by Zhao Xiangcheng Zhao, and Mr. said that if this person sent something, there is no need to refuse." ”

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Put things here." ”

Li Qinghe said yes, walked over, and gently put the thing on the table, and then the cover on it was lifted, revealing a beautiful jade box.

Zhang Yu opened the lid and pulled out a piece of silk cloth, and saw a simple stone statue inside, with an extremely faint and very faint warm current lingering on it, he couldn't help but pause.

At this time, Miao Danjun turned over and leaned over to look at the contents curiously.

Zhang Yu stretched out his hand and kneaded its little head, then took out a letter from the jade box, took out the letter paper and opened it to look at it.

This letter was followed by a greeting, and then a few days ago, for some unknown reason, a large island of considerable size suddenly appeared overnight on the originally empty sea of Tenghai.

The security patrol sent people up, and found a half-ruined stone ruins on the island, in which many statues were placed, large and small, all of which were in the same shape, and other than that, there were no words or murals.

Because this island happens to exist on a certain trade route, many people in the Security Patrol are worried about whether there will be some supernormal forces behind this inexplicable island.

Zhao Xiangcheng knew that his specialty was ancient naturalism, and now he was a metaphysical cultivator, so he specially sent one of the stone statues over, wanting to invite him to take a look at it and see if there would be any problems.

Zhang Yu picked up the stone statue, the source energy on it was extremely weak, even less than the strange bone fragments he had touched that day, and in just a while, he had already absorbed it.

After taking a closer look at the statue, it was not difficult for him to judge that this was the style of the Yidi people's sculpture.

He couldn't help but think about whether there would be any relationship between the underground tribe that was destroyed by Dou Chang and the others before, and the sleeping alien god who was transferred away from his divine power, and this island that suddenly appeared?

But no matter what, since there is source energy on this statue, then maybe there are more on that island, and I should take a moment to look at it, but I am afraid that I will have no time before the discussion.

After thinking about it, he instructed Li Qinghe to bring a pen and paper, brush down the pen, and write a reply.

It was mentioned that he would go to this island after the discussion, and at the same time, Zhao Xiangcheng did not have to worry, he would invite a fellow Xuan cultivator to inspect here to ensure the safety of the trade route.
