Chapter 534: Divine Power Sword Pill
Seeing so many masters going deep into Shu Mountain, Zhang Jun judged that they should be members of a nearby sword cultivating sect or aristocratic family. He was moved in his heart and said to Hua Buyi: "Master, someone is coming. Do you want to meet them?"
Hua Buyi said: "We are looking for the cave. If these people are indigenous monks, they may be able to provide useful value. Let's go over and say hello and find out their origins."
Zhang Jun had the same idea, so the two of them walked out of the cave and greeted everyone. Not long after, the two sides met. The sword cultivators were very vigilant. They stopped and stared at them from a distance.
The master and the disciple walked side by side, with smiles on their faces, and they clasped their fists about ten steps away: "Fellow Taoists, please!"
The middle-aged man was relatively calm, stepped out of the crowd, and said loudly: "Who are these two friends, and do you have any advice?"
Hua Buyi smiled slightly: "I don't dare. We are people who go into the mountains to practice. We got lost here. We happened to meet a few people, so we went up to ask for directions. It was really disturbing."
These people were obviously relieved, and the elder said: "It turns out they are Taoist friends who have gone to the mountains to practice." Then they pointed out the path.
Zhang Jun was able to see through things and was actually more familiar with the path than these people. Hearing what the other party said was correct, he immediately expressed his gratitude and said, "Thank you for the directions. I haven't asked Gao's name yet."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "We are all disciples of the Shushan Jianmen, and we go out on business under the order of the master."
The master and the apprentice were secretly surprised. There really was a sword cultivating sect in Shushan! They looked at each other, and Hua Buyi said: "It turns out he is an expert from Shushan Jianmen, and his name has been admired for a long time."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "I, the Sword Sect of Shushan, can't leave the world and have no disputes with others. I have no great name. I'm afraid it's the first time you've heard of me."
Hua Buyi didn't feel embarrassed at all and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Sword cultivators settled here as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty. Now that thousands of years have passed, this place should be the ancestral court of sword cultivators."
His words came from Zhang Jun's mouth, and they shocked everyone. The middle-aged man said in surprise: "It turns out that you two know Shushan so well. Yes, Shushan sword cultivation has lasted for thousands of years. However, there is only one Shushan Sword Sect at present, and the other sword sects have long since declined."
After saying a few more words, the strange feeling disappeared a lot. Zhang Jun felt that the time was ripe and said: "Guys, my master and my apprentice discovered a cave in front, which contains the training methods recorded by ancient sword cultivators. .”
Those young people suddenly became excited and eager to try. The middle-aged man was very cautious and said: "You two discovered the cave. We can watch it as much as we want, so we won't disturb you."
Zhang Jun smiled "haha" and said, "It seems we were rude." After saying this, he clasped his fists and turned around to leave.
Now, those people became anxious. After all, the swordsmanship learned by ancient monks might be very valuable, so it would be a pity to give it up like this. But the middle-aged man is the leader, and since he doesn't agree, the others don't dare to say anything.
After Zhang Jun and the two walked away, the middle-aged man turned around and glared at several people, shouting: "You are too naive, how can you trust strangers at will? Our mission is highly confidential, and we must not let outsiders know! "
Everyone was awestruck, and a young man from Bu Gang said: "Senior brother is absolutely right, Jianwan is very important to our department, it is a first-class matter, and everything else must give way."
The middle-aged man who was called Senior Brother nodded: "Okay, let's get on the road. The other nine people should have taken action long ago. We need to be faster."
After saying that, the group continued on their way, obviously much faster.
Zhang Jun and Hua Buyi did not go far. They stopped several kilometers away. After knowing the conversation between several people, Zhang Jun had a strange expression: "Is there really a sword pill in this world?"
Hua Buyi was not surprised at all: "Since there is a magic pill, why can't there be a sword pill?"
Zhang Jun remembered the scene in Xianxia novels. Those sword immortals had great magical powers and could refine fairy swords into sword pills and hide them in their mouths. When fighting with someone, if you open your mouth and spit it out, the sword pill will turn into a sword light and kill the enemy.
Of course, he believed that Jianwan could never be so magical, but he didn't know what it looked like.
"Master, do you want to follow?" He asked, "Apprentice, I really want to see what a sword pill is."
Hua Buyi nodded: "Let's follow them from a distance to see what these people are doing. Maybe we can find useful clues."
Just like that, the master and the apprentice followed from a distance. Since his vision could extend for several kilometers, Zhang Jun was not afraid of being lost, let alone being discovered, so he could follow up with confidence and boldness.
The group of people left for two days, stopping several times to rest. On the morning of the third day, they finally reached a high mountain and climbed up. Although the mountain is high, it is not difficult for these practitioners. They climbed halfway up the mountain in ten minutes.
Zhang Jun and the others did not go up the mountain, but simply found a secluded place at the foot of the mountain to monitor the top.
Halfway up the mountainside, there was a cliff as deep as a thousand meters, with a huge rock protruding from the middle. The top was flat and open, covering thousands of square meters. And just at the root of the giant rock, there are countless thick ancient vines climbing up.
Opposite the cliff is halfway up the mountain, where more than a hundred people have gathered. Among these people, there are actually more than a dozen who have gathered their true power, and there are even dozens of Immortal Gang masters.
The man was divided into ten parts, and they were all staring at the giant rock, their eyes full of eagerness and greed.
Zhang Jun could see clearly, so he took out the magic pestle to expand the scope of perspective. Immediately, he discovered that at the root of the giant rock, behind the dense ancient vines, there was actually a stone gate.
Above the stone door, there was a piercing murderous intention, which made his eyes sting and he could hardly see through. He groaned, quickly withdrew his vision, and told Hua Buyi about it.
Hua Buyi was shocked and said, "What?"
Zhang Jun licked his lips: "This thing feels very familiar to me." and explained the reason.
When he first broke into the treasure house of the Wei family, he not only got the elixirs and alchemy scriptures, but also a jade box. Even he couldn't look through the jade box. Every time he looked through it, he would feel the golden light crisscrossing it, making it difficult to look into it.
Upon hearing this, Hua Buyi speculated: "It seems that something is calming the door, making your clairvoyance useless."
Zhang Jun did not give up. He deliberately bypassed the stone door with his eyesight and continued to look inside. In this way, it penetrated smoothly. This is a very spacious cave with simple and primitive interior furnishings.
In the center of the cave, there is a middle-aged Taoist sitting cross-legged, wearing ancient clothes and with long hair tied high. He closed his eyes and remained motionless.
Zhang Jun was surprised at first, but after seeing through it, he realized that this man had been dead for hundreds of years. His clothes and body had been carbonized and would disappear as long as the wind blew.
Then he carefully observed the situation in the cave and found that there were only some alchemy scriptures and nothing else. In addition, there is a pill that looks like amber and is about the size of a human eyeball, embedded behind the stone door. The golden light must have come from it.
"Is this the Jianwan?" Zhang Jun was very curious, but when he wanted to see through the Jianwan, his vision was shaken away and he returned directly to his position.
He opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Master, there really is a sword pill!"
Hua Buyi was calm: "Don't panic, let's see what these people want to do first."
However, he said that the few people the master and apprentice met before had already arrived and chose a place to stand. Like everyone else, they looked longingly at the cliff opposite.
These ten groups of people were not far away from each other, about tens of meters apart, but no one said hello to anyone. Occasionally they look at each other, and they are very contemptuous and hostile to each other.
After observing for a while, Zhang Jun became confused: "These people have similar temperaments, and they should all belong to the same sect. However, they don't seem to look at each other, which is really strange."
Then he discovered that among these people, there were two Yuanjue-level masters who wanted to search the giant rock with their consciousness. However, the range of their true power release was limited and they could not reach the giant rock at all.
However, none of these people acted rashly and seemed to have some scruples.
Seeing that it was getting dark, finally among a group of people, an old man with a black beard stood out. He looked like he was in his fifties or sixties. He said in a deep voice: "The ten major sword divisions of Shushan Sword Sect are originally one body. Everyone is looking at you here." Staring is so boring, I think we should work together to find a way to remove the sword pill."
"Hmph! Senior Brother Sun said it nicely. Your Feilong tribe is the strongest. Shouldn't the sword pills be yours?" A middle-aged man from another group of people responded without buying it.
The black-bearded old man glared at the middle-aged man: "Junior Brother Hou, what do you mean? There are masters from the ten major sword tribes. No matter how strong our Feilong Division is, can we compete with all nine majors?"
The middle-aged man stopped talking and just snorted coldly.
Senior Brother Sun continued: "Everyone, I suggest that you find a way to get to that rock first, and then work together to take out the sword pill."
"Senior Brother Sun, it's not that easy to get sword pills." The leader of another sword club said, "We all know that only masters in the magical realm can refine sword pills. It is equivalent to a divine forbidden magic weapon, and is better than ordinary divine weapons. Forbidden magic weapons all have offensive power. If you don't do it right, the person who takes the sword pill will have his head dislocated."
Senior Brother Sun said: "Yes, it is very dangerous to take the sword pill. But what era is it now? Technology has changed the world. It must not be difficult to take this sword pill."
Everyone thought the same thing. Although they were cultivating in the mountains, from time to time, some people would go out to experience and understand the outside world, so they were not too out of line with the times. Just look at the clothes they are wearing, and you can see that they are all brand-name. No one is wearing ancient clothes.
"In that case, let's all listen to Senior Brother Sun. After we get the sword pill, it won't be too late for us to discuss how to deal with it." Someone suggested.
The top ten sword divisions of the Shushan Sword Sect discussed until dark, and finally came up with an idea. They all brainstormed, got the sword pills together, and then talked about dividing the sword pills.
After dark, most of the people from Shushan Jianmen stayed to guard the place, while a small number of people were sent out. They planned to use "technology" to obtain the sword pills.
Zhang Jun had been watching closely, and he couldn't help but said: "It seems that we can't get the sword pill, there are too many masters."
