Chapter 22: The Devil of Heaven
When Zhang Yu fought with that person, Silan was also carefully hiding in the distance, although she herself couldn't watch the changes in the battle situation, but pure white could deduce the general appearance of the two when they fought from various changes in airflow, light and shadow.
Chunbai suddenly said at this time: "The battle is over." ”
Si Lan suppressed the urge to run immediately, and asked nervously, "Who, who won?"
Chun Bai said: "More than eighty percent is the previous one." ”
Silan was shocked and said: "Winning is winning, losing is losing, how can there be two percent?"
Chunbai said: "Because I can only judge what I can observe for the time being, the monk has many magical spells, I can't determine whether the final winner is possessed, and I can't confirm whether the fallen monk can come back from the dead." ”
Si Lan was heartbroken for a while, and said, "It seems that I am going back to promote you." ”
Chun Bai said: "The monk is here. ”
Si Lan thought about it, walked out of the hiding place, and then saw Zhang Yu's figure walking towards her, she thought about it, the metal armor on her body seemed to melt away, gathered into her eyebrows, and then stepped forward, saluted, and said: "This Xuan Xiu, thank you so much, I don't know where that monk came from, as soon as he came up, he shot at us, if it wasn't for the honorable driver, I might have died." ”
Zhang Yu raised his sleeves and saluted, and said, "That person should have attacked you with an evil cultivator just now, Xu took a fancy to your essence and blood, and wanted to use it to cultivate the evil law." ”
Si Lan was afraid for a while and asked, "Then ...... Is it dead?"
Zhang Yudao: "This person will no longer appear in the future." ”
When Silan heard this, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she said gratefully: "Anyway, I still have to thank you for your honor, my name is Ye Silan, I don't know what to call your honor?"
Zhang Yudao: "My name is Zhang Yu, and I am the imam of Kaiyang Academy. ”
Ye Silan said suddenly: "It turned out to be Zhang Xueling, I am the teacher of Yantai Academy, and this time I followed one of my elders to find an antiquity." She said angrily: "I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, but fortunately, that person just stared at me and didn't pay attention to the others." ”
Zhang Yu knew that this was because the evil cultivation method was not something that anyone would use, this Ye Silan was full of qi and blood, and she was still a young woman, so she naturally had a great attraction to the evil cultivator, and the general essence of the old and middle-aged people had already declined, so that Dao person would not think about it first.
At this time, he said: "The elder that Miss Ye is talking about is the elder Fang Cai." ”
Ye Silan said: "Yes, his surname is Lu, and he is a master of antiquities. ”
Zhang Yu said thoughtfully: "Antiquities ......?"
Antiquities are differentiated from ancient naturalism, but they are not as broad as naturalism, and the direction of intensive research is more clear.
This is very normal, because the lifespan of mortals is limited after all, except for a few, most people can usually only make achievements in a certain field, unless it is a monk like him, in order to have more time and life to study all kinds of things and see more wonderful things in the world.
But at this time, he thought that the statue he had just gotten couldn't be recognized by himself, so maybe he could ask that Lu Lao, maybe he could get the answer.
So he said: "I want to meet this Lu Lao and ask him some questions, I don't know if Miss Ye may be recommended?"
Ye Silan said happily: "I am happy." ”
Lu Lao and the others were waiting near the Hanjiang Worm at the moment, although the mercenary soldiers were trying to persuade him to leave first, but he insisted on refusing.
After waiting anxiously for a long time, he saw Zhang Yu and Ye Silan walking out of the cave together, he couldn't help but be nervous, and only then did he relax when he saw Ye Silan waving to them from afar to signal that everything was fine.
When the two sides converged, Ye Silan told Shi Cai about being rescued, and Lu Lao was very grateful, and said: "I really want to thank Mr. Zhang for this matter." ”
Zhang Yu talked with him for a few words, and found that this old man was indeed knowledgeable, so he said: "I don't know something, and I want to ask Lu Lao." ”
Lu Lao said: "Mr. Zhang is polite, the little old man is to live a little longer, know a little more things, if you have anything to say, just ask." He looked around, stretched out his hand, and said, "Mr. Zhang, let's talk here." At the same time, he waved his hand again, signaling the mercenaries not to follow.
The two walked to the side, and Zhang Yu took out the statue and said, "This is what I found from that evil cultivator, I don't know if Lu Lao knows this statue?"
Lu Lao glanced at it, his expression became serious, he took out a pair of gloves and put them on, took the statue over, turned it over and carefully identified it, and said, "This should be 'General Tiansha'." ”
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "What kind of god is this?" he had never heard of this name.
Lu Lao said: "It's not strange that Mr. hasn't heard of it, because this title was only found here in Qingyang Shangzhou in the past," he pondered, "Has Mr. heard about Qingyang Shangzhou's loss of border states in the first place?"
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I've heard a little." ”
Since he was active in Qingyang Shangzhou, he had a rough understanding of the situation here.
The so-called Lost Border Prefecture means that Qingyang Shangzhou originally had a total of twenty-five states, but when Da Qingrong appeared and covered Qingyang, only twenty-three states and counties were caged, and the other two states were not among them.
According to the dossier, it was because the two border states were too far away from the main state at that time, so Daqing Banyan was unable to accommodate these two states.
Lu Lao said: "These two states were first set up in Yujing to set up two garrison military towns, just like the garrison camp in front, but later the population was large, which gradually expanded to two states and counties.
Although it is under the rule of my Qingyang Shangzhou, it is under the jurisdiction of Yujing, so Qingyangzhou Mansion rarely asks about the affairs of these two states, but later someone secretly reported that there are people in these two states who secretly believe in the gods. ”
Zhang Yudao: "Alien God?"
Lu Lao shook his head and said: "It's not a foreign god, some of them are gods from my Tianxia folklore, and some are deliberately made up gods, such as this 'Tiansha General' came out like this." ”
Zhang Yu asked, "Why did they do this?"
Lu Lao said: "How this matter came about, I haven't been able to figure it out, but there is one thing that is certain, that is, when the outer parasite arrived, these two states and counties were the first to be infected, and when they were discovered, things had reached the point where it was difficult to control, and many people had become monsters, perhaps because of this, Da Qingrong did not encircle these two states later."
Later, after the turbidity tide weakened slightly, the Zhou Mansion also sent people to look for it, but the place where the two states were originally located was empty, not to mention people, and even many cities there disappeared together. ”
Zhang Yu changed his mind and said, "Lu Lao thinks, is it possible for the people of the state there to survive?"
Lu Lao sighed and said, "Who knows, I hope they can live well, but I think that even if they live, I am afraid that they will become different from us." ”
Zhang Yu couldn't help but think about it, he originally thought that this Taoist was just a simple evil cultivator, but with the image of this Tiansha general, things became complicated, and behind it may be related to these lost two states.
At this time, Lu Lao sent the statue back to Zhang Yu's hands, and made a suggestion: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know about your monks, but Mr. Zhang is the imam of the Kaiyang Academy, and he must have some ways in the military government. ”
Zhang Yu nodded, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you for being old." ”
Lu Lao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You saved Silan's life, it's too polite to thank me again." ”
The two turned to the heavy topic of Fang Cai, and then talked a few words, Lu Lao knew that Zhang Yu himself specialized in ancient naturalism, and he was also very interested in antiquities, he suddenly felt that he had met a fellow Taoist, so he took out a famous letter from his pocket and said:
"Now I and many old friends have been collecting and sorting out the antiquities left in the eras, trying to uncover the secrets of the rise and fall of civilizations in the ancient ages. ”
Zhang Yu took the famous thorn and said, "Lu Lao should have come to look for antiquities this time, right?" However, although the evil cultivator is dead, there are some filthy things left behind, so it is best to come here again after a while." ”
Lu Lao sighed: "When I encounter this incident today, it is indeed not suitable to stay here anymore." He raised his hand and saluted, "Then Mr. Zhang, let's say goodbye, if you have time, you can come to Yantai School Palace to sit." ”
Zhang Yu also saluted and said, "There is a chance to come." ”
After Lu Lao said goodbye to him, he sat on the Hanjiang Worm with Ye Silan and others, and flew away in the sunset.
After watching them leave, Zhang Yu took off his gloves and pressed his palm on the statue, and in a moment, he sucked the source energy on it clean, and let it turn into a pile of fine sand and scatter.
Before coming to Qingyang Shangzhou, he had already collected a lot of source energy in advance in the East Garden, plus what was left before, the actual amount was also considerable, but he needed to determine whether he could obtain more source energy in Qingyang Shangzhou, and then decide how to distribute it.
Now it seems that there is indeed a channel to obtain source energy here, so you can let go of your hands and feet a little, and when you go back, you need to consider the visualization map.
As for the lost border state, he decided to try to find the record in the file of the Kaiyang School Palace after he went back, and if he couldn't find it, then try to find Su Qian and ask him.
Of course, you can't completely pin your hopes on this, Lu Lao can go back and visit, after all, from past experience, it is more likely to find source energy among the ruins and antiquities.
After contemplating this, he did not go further into the ground, but sat down in the cold river worm and drove the creature back to the camp.
