Chapter 156: Departure to the North
The content of Wu An's letter was roughly the same as what Tu Qing said. It was said that Manager Liao appeared in various guises in the northern border. Only by chance one day, someone discovered a blood-condensing formation on the battlefield, which was exactly the same as the one used at the Holy Doctor's Festival.
The generals of the Northern Territory took action immediately, but the opponent's strength was not weak at all. They escaped again and again, and became even more unscrupulous after their identities were exposed.
Generally, the bodies of martyrs who died on the border battlefield would be collected and buried or burned into ashes and taken back to their hometowns, but this shopkeeper Liao actually stole the bodies, which made the soldiers on the border very angry. They fought to the death against the enemy, but after death their bodies might be stolen by a weirdo who didn't know what would happen to them. How could they feel at peace?
So in the end, they turned to the capital for help, hoping that they could send more people to deal with this matter specifically.
But what made Zhou Zhilu anxious was that Wu An kept this matter in mind after he knew about it. When he was on patrol, he accidentally discovered the other party's traces and actually followed him secretly. He also said that after he found the other party's lair, he would go back to report and bring people to capture him.
Not only can he avenge Zhou Zhilu, but he can also make great contributions.
When Zhou Zhilu saw this, he wanted to run up to Wu An and scold him. The other party was able to escape from so many generals, so his strength must be quite good. Why are you, a fourth-level warrior, joining in the fun?
After the Holy Doctor's Day, Zhou Zhilu also informed the people around him about the relevant matters, but he did not expect that Wu An had always remembered it.
Now he could only pray that Wu An would be more cautious, or at best, just lose the other party. Zhou Zhilu did not dare to tell Lord Wu Hou about this news, for fear that Lord Wu Hou would get angry again and cause harm.
Afterwards, Zhou Zhilu found Fusu and Huike. Unexpectedly, Huike had also received news from the Buddhist world, asking him to accompany the court to the northern border to assist in the capture of Manager Liao.
After Zhou Zhilu inquired, he found out that when the Buddhist world was in chaos, this shopkeeper Liao had actually sneaked into the sacred mountain of the Buddhist world and stole the Bodhi tree behind the main hall. It was not until the chaos was over that Venerable Dushang discovered all this by going back in time.
So after learning about what happened in the northern border, he immediately sent a message to Huike and sent two sixth-level Buddha realm powerhouses.
However, Fusu could no longer go with them because during the trip to Nanjiang, his realm had reached the peak of the fourth level. The fifth level of Taoism is called the Yuhua Realm. Unlike the path of warriors, the Yuhua Realm has a very high probability of death.
Therefore, Fusu had to stay in the Xuanqing Temple in the capital, ready to break through and achieve enlightenment at any time.
Zhou Zhilu had no choice but to give up after hearing this.
At the same time, Fusu's answer also reminded Zhou Zhilu that this trip to the northern border would be quite dangerous, and he must improve himself again.
And right now, he just happened to hold in his hands a truth that very few people knew, and that was the history about Concubine Wu recorded by Emperor Wu!
Zhou Zhilu immediately rushed back home, unfolded the book of boundaries and recorded it.
Although Concubine Wu herself was well-known, she was not a powerful practitioner, and the whole incident was more like historical gossip and did not involve any important turning points.
Therefore, Zhou Zhilu was not too worried about its authenticity. Even if there were problems, it should be able to withstand negative feedback. Zhou Zhilu guessed that its value was probably blue quality.
However, as he swung his pen, a purple spiritual mist surged into his body in front of Zhou Zhilu's surprised gaze.
And on the "Book of the Realm", in the words just recorded about Concubine Wu, a golden light was constantly flickering.
Zhou Zhilu's eyes widened instantly. She was just a concubine, but why was there a secret worth gold hidden behind her?!
At the same time, the "Liang Yi Xuan Qing Gong" in his mind began to change again after absorbing the purple spiritual energy this time.
A technique called "The Four Symbols of the Celestial Stars" emerged...
As the matter was urgent, everyone gathered at the north gate the next day.
Behind Zhou Zhilu was Huike and two kind-looking monks named Venerable Pujing and Venerable Pukong. It was said that the two were biological brothers, with their hearts connected by Buddha's will, and their combined strength was enough to fight against a powerful enemy of the seventh level.
By the time the four arrived, a group of a hundred people had already gathered outside the city gate.
Standing at the front of the team was a young man riding a black horse and wearing gray armor, and on the horse's back hung a huge spear.
"Excuse me, are you the Cavalry General?" Zhou Zhilu asked.
The young man nodded and said, "My name is Jing Zhan, you can call me General Jing."
Zhou Zhilu nodded. He had done some research on the name Jing Zhan before coming here. Jing Zhan had a cold personality but was upright. The Jing family was also a prominent family in the capital. Although not as good as the new family, it was not much worse.
Jing Zhan is a rare martial arts genius. At the age of thirty, he has already reached the peak strength of the fifth level. It is only because he is over thirty that he is not counted among the Seven Heroes of the Capital.
Zhou Zhilu looked at the team of a hundred people behind him and asked doubtfully, "Are we the only ones here?"
Jing Zhan nodded expressionlessly and explained, "It's just one person. The quality of the troops is more important than the quantity."
Behind him walked out a sloppy old man dressed rather casually, with two wine gourds hanging around his waist and a huge blade on his back.
"Don't worry, my friend. I am Taoist Jiuyun, a worshiper of the Jing family, and this is the Fire Emblem Witch Yan Sanniang. When the time comes, we will be the ones to deal with that demon."
Taoist Jiuyun pointed at a middle-aged woman beside him who was wearing red clothes and had a mole on the corner of her mouth and said.
Zhou Zhilu sensed the other person's subtle aura, which was no weaker than that of the two venerables beside Huike, so he hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
…
At the Wu family, Wu Lizheng was complaining to his father that he had searched all the scholars in recent years but could not find the guy who had made the new breakthrough.
Wu Chaozong felt a little strange when he heard this. It shouldn't have happened. Could it be that this talented person was taken away and hidden by others in advance?
He shook his head and said, "There's no rush for this. If you really can't find it, forget it. As for the popular movement you need to advance to the esteemed scholar position, I've already got some clues. Something happened in the northern border, and I've put your name on it. It shouldn't be difficult to claim military merit later."
Wu Li's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, father!"
