Chapter 163: Antiquities
Zhang Yu heard what Tao Dingfu said, but he shook his head, as a Xuanting patrolman, although he could stay here for a while, he was bound not to delay for too long, so he said: "I am now in duty, I am afraid that I will not be able to go with my senior brother." ”
Tao Dingfu was also able to understand, and said, "I don't know how long my junior brother is going to stay in Qingyang?"
Zhang Yudao: "I will live here for about a month and a half, and after I have to deal with the matter here, I will go to the Dongting Metropolitan Protectorate once, and then I will return to the outer layer." ”
"The outer layer. ”
Tao Dingfu sighed with emotion, "I received an invitation from my junior brother before, and I also had the intention of going, but at that time, I was at a critical juncture in my work, so I couldn't make the trip, so I had to wait for me to come back from Yujing and go to the outer layer to see it." ”
Zhang Yudao: "It's okay, Senior Brother is going, please say hello to Senior Sister Nie on my behalf." ”
Tao Dingfu smiled: "I'll bring it." ”
Zhang Yu looked at the outside room and said, "After that day's farewell, I don't know what happened to the other senior brothers and sisters. ”
Tao Dingfu said very freely: "You and I are both cultivators, with a long lifespan, and there will always be a day when we will meet again." ”
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "It's rare to have a meeting with my senior brother, since my senior brother is here, I might as well stay and drink a cup of tea, and I will practice it for my senior brother." ”
Tao Dingfu said with a smile: "Senior brother, there is good tea here, I want to taste it." ”
Zhang Yushi ordered Qingmo to prepare tea, and then invited Tao Dingfu to sit down on the porch, and the two chatted for a while, and he learned that in the past two years, there have been monks from Yujing who have visited Qingyang Xuanjing from time to time.
After all, Yujing is a place where the world's elites gather, and there are all the Taoists of the Xuanting Court who have been stationed for a long time, and there are many cultivators who have cultivated to a high level, and the same is true.
After a long conversation between the two, unconsciously approaching noon, Tao Dingfu looked at the sky, stood up from the seat, and said: "Today's weather is sunny and windy, it is suitable for hurrying, so I will say goodbye for my brother, and I will meet my brother and brother again in the next day." ”
Zhang Yu also stood up and arched his hand: "I wish my senior brother a smooth journey." ”
The peach talisman nodded, and then the mana on his body surged, and in an instant, it turned into a red light, shot into the sky, and after a flash, it disappeared into the northern sky.
Zhang Yu retracted his gaze and stood on the verandah, his clothes gently swayed by the breeze, and his expression was thoughtful.
Although he was not going to go to Yujing, the invitation of the Peach Talisman reminded him that if he wanted to obtain more items containing source energy, in addition to the Dongting Metropolitan Protectorate, there was now Yujing to choose from.
As the capital of Tianxia, Yujing has a large number of antiquities that were contributed or confiscated from all over the country in that year.
It's just that these things are not so easy to obtain, there are several Xuanzun in Yujing, and there are far more eyes under the bet than from other places, but these things may be bought back under the pretext of collecting.
Anyway, many people now know that his hobby is identifying and collecting antiquities, so there is nothing strange about it.
It's just that it takes a trustworthy person to preside over it on your behalf.
After thinking about it, this matter could not be done immediately, but let Qingmo ask someone to collect it first, and then start arranging it when he came back after going to the Dongting Metropolitan Protectorate, after all, most of his old and students were there.
After thinking about it, he also turned back to the hall and called Wan Ming Dao people over to talk about some Dao methods with him, and also told him some of his experiences when he was cultivating.
He knew very well that the Xuanfa needed to communicate with each other in order to be promoted, and he had left some of the seals obtained from the outer layer in the Xuanfu before.
However, the seals are dead, but people are alive, and these seals are also created by Xuan Xiu, if we can let go of each other's estrangement and prejudices, and restore the pattern of seventy or eighty years ago, then it will be conducive to the prosperity of Xuanfa.
And now the atmosphere here in Qingyang Shangzhou is likely to return to the past, and there are a few people who need to lead it, but Wan Ming Dao people are the most suitable people for this matter, so he also intends to push it.
Wan Ming Daoist has been stumbling in the fourth chapter for a long time, but like many cultivators, he has never been able to go up to the realm.
It was only on the third day that he offered to say goodbye, and said: "I have listened to Xuanzheng's lectures in the past few days, and I have gained a lot, but I also know my own skills, which is enough for me to understand for a long time, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing, if I listen to it again, I am afraid that it will mess up my Dao heart." ”
Zhang Yu nodded and said: "Taoist friends know the trade-offs, know themselves, if you can hold on to this heart for a long time, why worry about the Tao Law will not succeed." ”
He didn't keep it anymore, and personally sent Wan Ming Daoist out of the door, and after the transfer, he thought about it, it was not unreasonable for Xuanting to send that Wei Gao to take over Xuanzheng's position.
Holding a high position in the Xuanfu of a continent, either he has the ability and merit to convince the public, or he is a person with a background behind him, otherwise he will not be able to stand, and at the same time, such a talent cannot be a person from this continent, so it is even more difficult to select the right candidate.
Even if it weren't for the fact that he was born in the Eastern Court Protectorate and had made great contributions in the past, and Qingyang was in a delicate situation at that time, I am afraid that he would not have become Xuanzheng so easily.
In the final analysis, there are too few outstanding figures in Xuan Xiu, after all, under the same realm, most true cultivators still overpower Xuan Xiu, and there is no one to protect them, so this is the case.
However, this situation can be changed through hard work.
He collected his thoughts, went back to his study, meditated all night, and the next day, after sunrise, continued to look through the ancient texts.
After some compilation, he found that there were actually three antiquities, two of which were relatively small and almost negligible, and the rest of them pointed to something called "sleeping baby".
The tattered human skin depicts a six-handed baby with a playful appearance, known as 'O'Anu', meaning the son of the evil god.
It's just that this thing reminds him that a few years ago, when he was browsing the Qingyang Upper Continent and belonging to the indigenous tribes, he remembered that one of the natives named "Lan Ren" had been circulating among the tribes, and there was a folk legend among the clan, and one of them was a six-armed evil baby.
He recalled it for a moment, and then recalled the whole rumor.
The Arashi people were originally an indigenous tribe living by the sea, and they made a living by fishing and gathering, but one day, a wooden statue of a six-armed baby floated from the sea, which looked like a real person, and the tribesmen had never seen such a delicate and detailed thing, so they worshipped it as a god.
But after only one night, most of the healthy women in the tribe were pregnant.
The local tribe believed that it was a statue of a god, and the worship was even more religious, but then things were not right, and the children who gave birth to them, regardless of gender, were all six-armed, and they did not cry but laughed.
The tribesmen were so frightened that they cut off the statue's arms at the suggestion of the witches, smashed them and burned them, and pushed all the newborn six-armed babies into the sea.
But only one night later, the statue reappeared in the original altar, and the villagers were even more frightened, and they tried many ways to deal with it, but they couldn't get rid of it.
After consulting the gods, the witch priests were given a way to move all the people to an island under the guidance of the gods, where they re-established the altar, and then one night, all the middle-aged men secretly left the place by boat, and no one knew the whereabouts of the island or what happened to the people on the island.
However, even so, some of the descendants of these men still gave birth to children with six arms from time to time, so they were recorded and reported by the local government office.
Zhang Yu thought about it, these remnants are now in Mochuan County, near the sea in Qizhou, so he might as well visit here first to see if he can find more clues about this thing.
With his decision, he left the manor, and the light flew away from him, and only a moment later, he crossed several states and landed in Mochuan County.
He first found the Strange Zhi Library in the continent that was responsible for recording supernatural things, and a scribe surnamed Hu who was in charge of it was also a person who was very interested in strange things and ancient legends.
He said with great interest: "Xuan Zheng asked about this matter, and the subordinates also knew about it, these remnants lived in Fengzhi Village, but the continent has always forbidden officials to ask about such strange things, so the subordinates could not investigate deeply, so they could only collect some accounts one after another. ”
Zhang Yudao: "Since Hu Zhiwen understands this matter, then come with me." ”
Hu Wenyan suddenly became excited and said, "Don't you dare to be smart." ”
Zhang Yu took Hu Wenzhi to Fengzhi Village at the moment, and now the road is smooth, and it is convenient for the creation of cars and horses, but in more than a summer, he arrived in Fengzhi Village.
This village is inhabited by the descendants of the Lan people, they belonged to Qingyang more than a hundred years ago, but they have always been very loyal to Tianxia, even in the turbidity tide, it is also the people who stand on the side of Tianxia, and for more than 100 years, the people except for the slight difference in appearance, speech and behavior, etiquette and customs are no different from ordinary Tianxia people.
After Hu Wenyi arrived here, he immediately summoned the village elders and inquired about the matter.
The old man of the village said: "Yes, there is a legend in my clan, and this matter is eighty percent true, and there are still six-armed people in our clan. ”
Hu Wenyi's eyes lit up and said, "Can you find this person and see him?"
The village elder said: "This matter is easy. ”
He turned around and ordered, and it didn't take long for a man in his forties to come, with a very strong physique, and after being called, he also unbuttoned his shirt generously, turned his body, and let everyone look at his back, and it could be seen that there were four child-like curled limbs on the spine, and he could vaguely see the appearance of his hands.
Hu Wenyi said curiously: "This is an arm?"
The man said, "I'm just looking at this, my great-grandfather is six adult arms, and he can do twice as much delicate work as usual." However, he was afraid of being regarded as an outlier, so he just hid on the beach and lived alone all the year round. ”
Hu Wenyi said: "Aren't you afraid of this?"
The man grinned and said: "What am I afraid of, according to my great-grandfather, the old custom is to kill someone with six arms, but we don't have this set of days and summers, and these bad habits have been abolished, at most some people are just curious, and now I eat with my own strength, and the fish I raise are also the fattest in the village, so no one comes to despise and look down on me." ”
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Let me ask, are there any more ancient things that have been handed down from the ancestors?"
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
