After Zhang Yu came back from Xuanfu, he lived in the former residence of the original Taiyang School Palace, and in the next few days, many people inquired and came to visit.

Yang Jue, the governor of the capital, also sent people to greet him, and sent a lot of gifts, as Ming Ming Yang said, these things are some antiquities.

But among the gifts of the Grand Duke, none of them have a source of existence.

This is because they are all offered by the people below, first of all, to ensure that these things do not have any supernatural powers, secondly, they must have nothing to do with any alien gods, and finally, they are required to have a beautiful appearance, and they look pleasing to the eye, as if those strange things will never be sent to the Grand Duke.

However, this is a piece of heart, and he can't measure the weight of the gift and whether it is useful, and it can be seen that each of these things has been carefully selected, and it has taken a lot of thought, so he will not dislike it.

However, although the things sent by student An Chu'er were few, more than ninety percent of them contained source energy, and they came from different places, and it was not difficult to see that these were all slowly collected by her own family.

And the Governor's own sister, that is, another student Yang Ying, did not show up this time, this is because she transferred to Yujing after studying in Qingyang, which is also a certain arrangement of Yujing to the Metropolitan Protectorate.

On the fourth day after returning to his old home, he refused visitors, and sat alone in the original ashram, and after sitting still for a while, he took out a few broken stone slabs, and some letterheads mixed with ancient characters were also spread out on the desk.

This is the stone slab that his adoptive father left behind, and was taken away by Yan Xulun, the deputy lieutenant of the Divine Captain Army, and was retrieved by him.

Judging from the words left on the letter, it seems that the adoptive father left this thing with the intention of giving him some kind of power from it, and also left a clue to find the next stone tablet.

It's just that he had his own way to go at that time, so he didn't do such things.

Judging from the whereabouts provided in the letter, the other piece is also here in the Dongting Metropolitan Protectorate, and it is somewhere in Ansan.

Since he was going there this time, he was going to take it with him.

After the night passed, he got up from the quiet room, walked outside the old residence, looked at the room again, stretched out his hand to close the door, and stepped out of the Taiyang Academy.

Xu Chengtong and his entourage, who stayed in Ruiguang City, took everyone on a white boat and came to the Honghe Pass.

Xu Chengtong looked at Anshan in the distance and said: "The mountain is extended, it is still majestic, patrolling, it seems that there is a wider boundary behind this mountain range." ”

Zhang Yudao: "The territory occupied by Tianxia is the center of the alternation of foreign forces for several centuries, and the rise and fall are just idle matters. And here, although the same thing is happening, there are more things that have been preserved, especially to the east of Ansan, and I suspect that there are more ancient things hidden in the depths. ”

Qingshu said: "Sir, why didn't the Xuanting Court send people to find out this place? If there is a threat, it can be eliminated in advance." ”

Zhang Yudao: "I thought that the establishment of the capital protection mansion here in Tianxia before the beginning of the day actually had such considerations, but then the turbidity tide came, and now the continents are trying to restore people's livelihood and straighten out internal affairs. ”

It can be seen from the arrangement on the outer layer such as this summer that it is mainly defensive, and there is no sign of taking the initiative.

Broadly speaking, this is true.

Tianxia, who occupies the inner layer, is increasing its strength every day, there is no need to fight with the forces of the outer layer now, you just need to defend the inner layer, the longer the time, the greater the gap between the two sides.

Just as Su Qian said to him when he came to the capital to protect the mansion that day, although he has experienced a turbidity tide, but now Tianxia is more powerful than before, even if he just sits and waits, he can consume these enemies to death.

But the enemy is definitely not willing to wait for death, and he must do something, and even come up and fight hard.

Of course, whether it is him or Su Qian, what they see now is only the power of the middle and lower levels, and what about the upper echelons, that is not what they can understand now.

While thinking about it, Bai Zhou had already come to the sky above the Honghe Pass, where he had been covered with dense barricades when he had passed in the early years, and now he could see that most of these barricades were empty, but a few were buried underground.

With Qingyang's experience, he could see at a glance that this was to facilitate the use of the tactics of the Xuan Soldier's explosion.

Now the capital also has its own Tianji Academy, which can create Xuan soldiers, and it does not need thousands of troops to deal with those natives and the sacrifices that have mastered the supernatural powers, and it can be razed directly by one Xuan soldier.

As the white boat approached, a beam of light shone brightly, and under its guidance, it landed on a rooftop of the boat.

Under the platform, a burly monk was waiting there, it was Dou Chang, who had worked with him back then, and beside Dou Chang, there was a woman in white holding a bamboo sword and wearing glasses.

Zhang Yu got off the flying boat, saw the two of them, bowed, and said, "Senior Brother Dou." He nodded to Xin Chan again and said, "Senior Sister Xin, the two of you are fine." ”

Dou Chang also saluted, let out a loud laugh, and said, "We have received a summons from Xuanshou, and we know that Senior Brother Zhang is coming here, so we are waiting here. ”

Xin Chan gave him a blessing, his eyes fixed on him for a moment, and then he said, "Senior Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Dou Chang said in a deep voice: "I heard that my junior brother is going to enter Anshan this time?"

Zhang Yudao: "Exactly." ”

Dou Chang said: "Now there is no need to worry about the past five hundred miles from the pass, but if you go further, you need to be careful, because the turbidity tide there is much thicker than ours here." ”

Zhang Yudao: "Thank you Senior Brother Dou for reminding me." ”

At this moment, the earth shook for a moment, and then again, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a vague figure in the distance, which looked like a giant elephant on all fours, and the scattered trees beside it were easily pushed away like weeds.

Dou Chang glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "It's a spiritual creature that ran out from the depths of Anshan again. There have been dozens of times in the past two years, but with such a big size, we have come forward. ”

Not long after his voice fell, a silver light slashed through the air from behind, landing in front of the huge creature, and immediately after, a flash of light also fell from the sky.

Suddenly, a dazzling flash of light burst out from the front, and at this moment, it felt like the entire sky around it was darkened, and then a huge sound rumbled and shook the earth, and it could be seen that the dirt and forest in front of it were surging in all directions like waves.

When everything calmed down, when I looked again, I saw that it had become a white field, and the huge spiritual creature was gone.

Dou Chang said: "If you want to blame this thing, it is too big and moves too slowly, and it is just the target of the Xuan soldiers, but some dexterous spiritual creatures are not easy to deal with." ”

Xin Cicada said: "Many suspicious realms near the pass have been bombarded with Xuan soldiers, and Senior Brother Zhang can reduce a lot of trouble by walking along these realms. ”

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Thank you Senior Sister Xin for reminding me." ”

After chatting with the two of them for a few words, he boarded the flying boat again and went deep along the boundary blasted by those mysterious soldiers.

His adoptive father's letter to him gave him a brief description of how to find the next slab, but it was always based on something in the forest, whether it was a large mountain or a peculiar plant.

But now, after the explosion of the Xuanbing, the plants could not be found, but fortunately, some of the mountain shapes still remained, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction here compared to the previous turbidity tide when the tide was strong, so it only took him half a day to find the place mentioned on the letter.

This is a mountain full of bare rocks, this place is actually not far from the pass, and it can be seen that it has also suffered the impact of the aftermath of the Xuanbing, but this mountain is still strong.

Zhang Yu stared at it for a while, and then said for a long time: "You are waiting for me here." ”

Xu Chengtong and others said yes.

Zhang Yu came out of the white boat, his figure suddenly flashed, he had already appeared above the top of the mountain, his eyes fell, he stretched out his hand and flicked his sleeve, a large piece of rubble was removed, and an open cave was revealed on the side wall of the mountaintop.

He slowly lowered his figure, reached out and put his hat on, and walked inside.

It could be seen that the place under his feet had been carved out by hand, and the surrounding mountain walls were smooth and tight, and there were many reliefs of strange creatures carved on them, and the empty eyes seemed to be staring at him at the moment.

He walked slowly, the passage was a little narrow at the front, but it became wider at the back.

After walking through a collapsed stone door, a straight passage was revealed in front of it, and at the end of it was a circular stone door, now half broken, and on the left and right sides of the passage, there were two rows of tall niches.

In the niches stood clay pots made of clay in the shape of human figures, which looked like they had been smeared with some kind of colored material, but now they were mottled and blurred.

He stopped here and looked around, and from the traces it was supposed to be some ancient ruin, but it should have been used and remodeled.

He glanced at one of the clay pots beside him, and as his mental strength was stimulated, there was a sound of peeling on it, a slight crack, and finally the whole thing shattered.

Exposed inside was a stone statue of a humanoid creature with a sharpened skull and webbed limbs.

But there are no traces of carving from the inside to the outside of this thing, and there are still bones and internal organs in the body, which undoubtedly shows that this thing was originally a living being, but it has only been invaded by some supernatural power, so it has become what it looks like in front of it.

But he felt in his heart that this matter was not so simple, but the level of these things was not high, so there was no need to delve into it.

He walked through the passage full of terracotta figurines and jars, until he came to the end, when he glanced through the broken hole in the round stone door, but saw a somewhat familiar figure kneeling there, his eyes flashed, "Ning Kunlun?"
