After many years, he came out again.
Breathing the air from the outside world, although it is not as rich in spiritual energy as the sect, it has an air of freedom.
Xu Yuxiu walked with his sword through the mountains, letting the breeze hit his face, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Passing through the winding mountains, the view ahead gradually opens up.
Suddenly I saw a white line in the distance, which was the Tianshui River.
According to Taixuanmen's map records, the Tianshui River spans the three continents of Qingzhou, Youzhou, and Yuezhou, winds for hundreds of thousands of miles, and finally flows into the Sea of Buried Immortals.
However, Tianshui River is not the largest river in Tianlan Continent. Compared with the rivers in the entire Tianlan Twelve States, Tianshui River can only rank third.
Above it, there are two major rivers, Tongyou River and Tianhe River.
It is said that the river leads directly to the netherworld and can lead to the underworld. Whether it is true or not is not yet known.
The Tiantian River has existed since ancient times, and it is said that all rivers in the entire Tianlan Continent are its branches.
And its source is even more unknown. It is said that the Tianhe is a river flowing from the immortal world, and it is also called the Immortal River.
Xu Yuxiu has never seen Tongyou River and Tianhe River.
But the Tianshui River in front of her caught her eyes.
Looking at the Tianshui River from a distance, there is nothing but a white line, but up close, you can't even see the other side of the Tianshui River.
One can imagine how wide the Tianshui River is today.
Xu Yuxiu tried to use her spiritual sense to explore into the river, but with her hundred-foot spiritual sense, it was difficult to detect the bottom of the river, which was enough to see how deep the river was.
The Tianshui River alone was like this. Xu Yuxiu could not imagine how magnificent the Wangyou River and Tongtian River above it would be.
Shaking her head slightly, she stopped thinking about it.
Instead, he took the sword and went downstream along the river.
Taixuanmen is located in Qingzhou, and many cultivating families live in the lower reaches of Tianshui River.
When Xu Yuxiu arrived, he saw a huge and magnificent town.
The sky above the town is misty, and the light of the formation is faintly visible.
Approaching the town, Xu Yuxiu saw the above-mentioned three characters "Tianshui City" above the city gate.
Tianshui City was built for Taixuanmen and was specially used for the residence of the cultivator families affiliated with Taixuanmen.
There are monks and mortals in the city, and most of the mortals and monks are extremely respectful to the disciples of Taixuan Sect.
But this may not be the case for some big families in the city.
Xu Yuxiu felt this when he entered the city.
The gatekeeper of Tianshui City was a monk. After seeing her wearing the clothes of a Taixuan Sect disciple, he waived the city entry tax and allowed her to enter the city directly.
After entering the city, some mortals saw her, and they all showed respect and bowed to her.
Seeing this, Xu Yuxiu felt a little embarrassed.
After all, she had never helped those people, so it seemed a bit inconsistent to accept their courtesy for no reason.
She thought for a while, then turned and walked into a shop selling clothes.
Under the respectful treatment of the shopkeeper, she bought dozens of mortal clothes for the price of a spiritual stone, changed into a plain dress, and then left.
Before leaving, the shopkeeper wanted to give her some remaining money, saying that these clothes could not cost a piece of spiritual stone.
Xu Yuxiu thought for a moment and realized that ordinary money and goods were of no use to her, so she refused directly.
The shopkeeper was very happy when he saw this.
She changed her clothes and walked outside again, and the atmosphere suddenly became much better.
The monks no longer paid attention to her, and the mortals no longer bowed when they saw her, but only showed awe.
Seeing this, Xu Yuxiu ignored everything else and followed the clues given by Wang Fugui to the west of Tianshui City.
It has to be said that Tianshui City is quite big. Going to the west of the city, Xu Yuxiu walked for two quarters of an hour just by walking normally with his feet.
This is her speed with the blessing of dark luck.
The west part of the city is not as prosperous as entering the city, but it seems much quieter.
Large mansions are located here, one after another, scattered in different directions.
Along the way, Xu Yuxiu saw the plaques of various houses, writing to Li's Mansion, Wang's Mansion, Qi Mansion, etc.
After walking a long distance, she found the 'Zhang Mansion' on the western edge of the city.
Compared with other residences, Zhang Mansion appears to be much smaller.
The door of Zhang's Mansion was open, and there was no guard in front of it. Looking inside the mansion, he could only see a few scattered servants, which looked very depressed.
Xu Yuxiu walked into Zhang's house and called out, "Is the master here?"
A servant heard the news and saw that it was a female fairy. He hurried forward and asked respectfully: "What does this fairy want to see the master of? I can inform you on your behalf."
Xu Yuxiu heard this, thought about it, and said to the servant: "Yeah, that's fine. I'm here to see Senior Sister Zhang Yuanyuan. You can just go and report it."
"Ah, look for the eldest lady!" When the servant heard this, his expression changed.
Xu Yuxiu noticed something strange about him and frowned slightly: "Isn't it possible?"
"No, no, fairy, please follow me into the guest room and wait. I will report it immediately!" The servant quickly changed his words.
Xu Yuxiu nodded and followed him to the guest room.
The servant made her a cup of tea and left in a hurry.
Looking at the hurried appearance of the servant, Xu Yuxiu was thoughtful.
It seems that a big change has really happened in this family, she thought to herself.
Xu Yuxiu remembered that when the Zhang family moved, there were about 300 people. But now in this house, not a single Zhang family member is seen.
Even the servants who clean the house are so few.
No matter how the Zhang family is declining, it is still a cultivating family after all, and it is not like they can't even afford servants.
This made Xu Yuxiu curious.
She gently picked up the tea bowl, opened the lid and brushed the tea surface. When the temperature was moderate, she took a sip.
The tea is sweet in the mouth and has no aura at all. It would be regarded as the best in the world, but in the eyes of the monks, it is unsightly.
Xu Yuxiu didn't dislike it, but sipped her tea and waited with peace of mind.
About halfway through the cup of tea, she heard the footsteps of someone approaching. She put down the tea bowl and looked towards the door of the guest room.
Immediately, she saw a familiar figure.
It was Uncle Fu who was the Zhang family's housekeeper.
Compared with before, Fu Bo was much older and his stature was much stooped.
His old face showed fatigue at this time.
But when he saw Xu Yuxiu, he was stunned. After a while, he seemed to finally recognize Xu Yuxiu, and he shouted excitedly: "Xianzi Xu, is it really you!"
Xu Yuxiu looked at Uncle Fu's excited expression, nodded, and said with some confusion: "I clearly want to see Senior Sister Zhang, why is it you, Uncle Fu, who is here?"
"Fairy, don't blame me, it's the old slave who is rude, but now there is no one in charge in the entire Zhang family." After Fu Bo said this, he sighed deeply.
Seeing his appearance, Xu Yuxiu asked curiously: "What happened to the Zhang family? Why can't anyone in charge be found?"
Hearing this, Uncle Fu looked sad, and tears welled up in his old eyes. He wiped the tears with his sleeves and then slowly explained the reason.
It turns out that since the Zhang family moved to Tianshui City, with the presence of Zhang Yuanyuan, an outer disciple of Taixuan Sect, things were going well at first.
However, since Zhang Yuanyuan entered the Ghost Valley two years ago and had no news for more than a year, the entire Zhang family began to become unstable.
Coupled with the suppression of the Zhang family by some families, some members of the Zhang family gradually couldn't bear it and left the Zhang family one after another to join other families.
The longer Zhang Yuanyuan disappears, the more people from the Zhang family leave. Almost all of them have left so far.
There are only a few scattered ones left in the Zhang family, but they don't dare to show too much publicity.
When Uncle Fu said this, he sighed heavily, turned to look at Xu Yuxiu hopefully, and asked: "Fairy Xu, how is the eldest lady now, do you know?"
Xu Yuxiu shook her head slightly: "I don't have access to Senior Sister Zhang's current identity. The last time I met her was two years ago, and I'm looking for her now."
Hearing this, Fu Bo looked disappointed.
Seeing this, Xu Yuxiu asked again: "When Senior Sister Zhang left, did you have anything to explain?"
"Explain?" Uncle Fu seemed to have remembered something when he heard this, and said to Xu Yuxiu: "Xianxu, please wait a moment. I remember that when the young lady left, she said that if anything happens to the Zhang family, let me hand something over to you. .”
After that, he turned and left.
Something that Senior Sister Zhang specifically entrusted to me?
Xu Yuxiu was thoughtful.
