Chapter 533 Shushan
In the northwest, Zhang Jun came to the base first and told Hua Buyi what had happened. Hua Buyi attached great importance to the Shennongmen matter and felt that regardless of whether it was true or not, he should go to Shushan.
After several years of development, this base has become very popular. Many young talents are training here, and the outstanding ones will be managed by Bai Yujing, Hua Buyi and others.
Of course, the main reason why the base exists is that Zhang Jun left many elixirs here, and of course the wonderful use of the furnace. These two treasures have tied countless heroes tightly and are unwilling to leave.
In fact, the cultivation levels of Bai Yujing, Hua Buyi and others have improved by leaps and bounds. Nowadays, not only Bai Yu has broken through to the fourth level of true power, but Hua Buyi also gathered his true power last month.
As for the characters such as the Five Evils, the God Squad, etc., they have also made great progress. The Neiwang ones have finally reached Bu Gang, and most of the Bu Gang ones have reached the Immortal Gang level. These people are Zhang Jun's foundation and can be put to great use in the future.
The master and apprentice were planning to set off in three days, and he happened to be spending time with Su Mei and her daughter in the past few days.
Chu Chu is already ten months old, but she is very talented. The little girl is not unfamiliar with Zhang Jun at all, because she can feel the familiar aura on Zhang Jun's body, which is a natural spiritual sense.
Chu Chu started talking very early and could clearly pronounce syllables such as "mom" and "dad" as early as six months old. Now ten months old, he speaks more fluently than a child over one year old.
Su Mei stayed in the northwest and devoted herself to practicing the methods taught by Zhang Jun. She is naturally charming, has extraordinary talents, and her progress is astonishingly fast. In particular, Hua Buyi gave her three spiritual pills to take.
Nowadays, she has surpassed the latecomers. Not only has she condensed the Immortal Power, but she also has a faint tendency to break through the true power, which makes Hua Buyi and others surprised.
When Zhang Jun came, Chu Chu was riding on Fugui and playing in the yard. Fugui had long since grown into a mighty lion, but in front of Chu Chu, he looked extremely gentle, like a big cat.
It walked slowly. After all, Chu Chu was still young and could not sit firmly. On the side, there is also a sea turtle and a tiger, patiently guarding their little master.
Before Zhang Jun entered the door, these three beasts felt it and rushed over to greet him with Chu Chu on their backs. When the little girl saw her father coming back, she danced for joy, but accidentally fell off Fugui's back.
Zhang Jun swayed, hugged his daughter in his arms, and kissed her head and face several times. Chu Chu giggled, hugged Zhang Jun's neck and shouted repeatedly: "Dad, dad, dad..."
Zhang Jun felt so warm in his heart that he kept saying yes, then kicked Fugui on the butt and cursed: "Asshole, Chu Chu is so young, how dare you carry her to play with her?"
Fugui looked aggrieved. He couldn't carry Chuchu on his back. It was obviously the little girl who insisted on climbing on his back. If he didn't agree, the little witch would pull its beard. It hurt, so how dare he not respond.
Liu Guang and Da Hua on the side were both gloating about the misfortune. One flapped his wings and screamed strangely, while the other opened his mouth and breathed "little silk" in anger.
As a result, Zhang Jun kicked Dahua again, then flicked his fingers on Liuguang's forehead and said angrily: "You are just living for nothing, don't you know how to stop me?"
The two beasts immediately fell silent, looking even more aggrieved than Fu Gui.
Su Mei had just finished meditating and rushed over when she heard the movement in the courtyard. When she saw that it was Zhang Jun who was here, she smiled slightly: "When did you come?"
Zhang Jun smiled and said, "I just arrived and I have a few days to spare, so I came over to see you and Chu Chu." Then he took a look and said with emotion, "You have made great progress. You are now at the sixth level of Immortal Gang. You can scare a lot of people to death if you go out.”
Su Mei smiled softly: "You didn't teach me."
Zhang Jun walked over with his daughter in his arms, held her hand, and the family of three returned to the house.
After three days of peaceful time, Zhang Jun tried his best to meet all his daughter's requests. Even if his precious daughter wanted the moon in the sky, he had to find a way to get it. The happy time is always short-lived. When the time comes to set off, he has to leave again.
Chu Chu is no longer as ignorant as she was when she was a child. When she knew her father was leaving, the little girl pouted and Zhang Jun refused to answer no matter how he shouted.
Zhang Jun leaned over, pulled her little ears, and said softly: "Chu Chu, don't you want to say goodbye to daddy?"
Chu Chu ignored him, Zhang Jun laughed dryly and said, "When Chu Chu turns one year old, I will take you to see your grandparents, what do you think?"
Chuchu had known for a long time that there was another pair of grandparents in Kyoto. Children who stayed in one place for a long time naturally wanted to go out for a walk. After hearing this, she became energetic again: "I'll go, I'll go."
Zhang Jun smiled and said: "Okay, it's settled, Chu Chu will be at home waiting for her father to come back."
After coaxing his daughter, Zhang Jun gently squeezed Su Meiyu's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Su Mei chuckled: "I have no trouble raising my own child. But you are working hard outside, so be careful and remember me and the child at all times."
Zhang Jun nodded: "Don't worry."
At noon that day, Hua Buyi and Zhang Jun boarded the plane and flew directly to Sichuan. The journey went very smoothly, and by the afternoon, the two of them had arrived at the Shushan Mountains.
Shushan is just a general concept. Its scope is very wide and consists of a series of mountains. The traffic here is congested, sparsely populated, and the scenery is pristine.
At this moment, Master Zhang Jun and his apprentice were walking on foot, covering dozens of miles from south to north. Whenever they meet someone, they will ask about their situation. Therefore, Hua Buyi speculates that if the Shennongmen Cave is really here, then the nearby residents must have been blessed by the Shennongmen.
Unfortunately, the two of them walked like this for more than ten days without achieving anything. No one they met had ever heard of the so-called "miracle doctor".
Before they knew it, they were very deep and entered a valley. The light inside is dim, and even on a sunny day, you can't feel a trace of sunlight, and there is a lot of miasma and humidity.
A poisonous snake suddenly jumped up from under his feet and bit Zhang Jun's feet. However, he shook the calf flesh lightly and knocked the snake unconscious without killing him.
Zhang Jun held the magic pestle in his hand and had a panoramic view of dozens of kilometers in radius, but unfortunately he found nothing. However, he was not discouraged and said: "Master, no matter how big the area of Shushan is, it can't be bigger than a province. If we search slowly, we can always find it."
Hua Buyi said: "Yes, if we can find our cave house, Shennongmen can regain its former glory. However, the rumors should not be taken seriously. If you can't find it, don't be disappointed."
Since the master can see clearly, Zhang Jun has nothing to worry about, and the two of them are focused on searching.
Day after day, more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the two of them had already inspected one-fifth of Shu. Although I didn't find the cave, I got a lot of extra gains.
It turned out that this Shu land was originally a place where ancient Qi practitioners lived in seclusion and practiced, and he actually discovered several ruins of ancient practitioners. But it is a pity that these places have been changed beyond recognition, and everything inside has rotted away, leaving nothing of value.
Only one cave caught Zhang Jun's attention, and the two of them went to observe it. The entrance to this cave is extremely small, but the interior is extremely open. The entrance to the cave was sealed with sand and gravel. If he hadn't been able to see through, he wouldn't have been able to discover this place.
After entering the cave, you can see that there are stone tables and chairs inside, but nothing else. However, there are a large number of graphic and text carvings on the cave walls. These characters are very ancient and belong to the large seal script.
Dazhuan is a font from the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is very ancient and not many people know about it. However, Zhang Jun followed Hua Buyi to study many ancient unique books, so he knew about them. Not only big seal script, he can even read some bird-shaped characters and even ancient Sanskrit.
This is all thanks to his Buddha's eye relics. Under the Buddha's eyes, he can easily understand the meaning of the words. If he wanted to, he would be a generation of ancient linguists, but it is a pity that he is not good at this.
Raising the flashlight, Hua Buyi looked at it carefully for a while and said with emotion: "It is actually the site of monks from the Zhou Dynasty. It is so ancient!"
Zhang Jun stared at the meaning of the words, and after reading about three to five thousand words, he sighed: "Master, the cultivation methods of the Western Zhou people are very different from those of today!"
Hua Buyi smiled: "Which one do you think is better and which one is worse?"
"There is no superiority or inferiority." Zhang Jun said calmly, "Practice is all about single-mindedness. Dharma doors are just superficial, so don't worry about them."
Hua Buyi nodded: "Yes, you hit the nail on the head."
It was rare to encounter an ancient monk's cave, so the two simply stayed to study the ancient method for three days. The two masters and apprentices discovered that what was recorded on the cave wall was actually a sword cultivation method, which was the so-called sword immortal.
The so-called swordsman is not, as the novelist said, someone who can fly a sword thousands of miles away and kill people. In fact, the true meaning of Feijian is to use the sword to prove the Tao, so the Sword Immortal is also a monk.
Of course, sword immortals must have extraordinary swordsmanship. It is through their understanding of swordsmanship that they rise to the point of understanding the principles of heaven and earth and the changes of yin and yang, thereby achieving enlightenment and even entering supernatural powers.
Through the pictures and texts on the cave wall, Zhang Jun seemed to have seen that thousands of years ago, a swordsman monk studied hard here and finally achieved the Taoist fruit at the age of forty. However, his lifelong cultivation was limited to the Awakening Realm, and he failed to take that crucial step.
Knowing the cultivation experience of the master of the cave, Zhang Jun sighed with emotion: "Supernatural powers are too difficult. Let alone magical powers, the step of perfect enlightenment is extremely difficult. It is difficult for those without great wisdom and perseverance to achieve it."
"That's natural." Hua Buyi said, "If ordinary people realize enlightenment, they will definitely become famous people throughout the ages."
On the night of the third day, Zhang Jun, who was participating in the research, suddenly felt something in his heart. His vision radiated out and he immediately discovered that a group of people were coming several kilometers away.
There were eight people in that group, three girls and Gota, the elder was over forty years old, and the younger one seemed to be in her early twenties. They walk very fast and have great skills.
Zhang Jun soon discovered that these people were actually sword cultivators who entered Taoism with swords. However, their cultivation levels are not high. The most powerful one is at the first level of Immortal Gang. The others are mostly masters of outer gang and inner vision, and there are even three who don't hold elixirs.
