Bai Yujing said: "If you take the magic pill, it should be fine in three months."
The eyes of the Three Immortals of Dragon and Tiger brightened up. If Bai Yujing could reach the ninth level of true power, then they would all be alive. Longhu Mountain could open its gates in a majestic manner and face all the major families.
The matter of reopening the mountain gate has been discussed, and Zhang Jun temporarily settles in the courtyard to cultivate his mind. He is a first-level elixir, and although it is not a big problem to break through Juekong, it still requires an opportunity.
At night, after Chu Chu was put to sleep, Zhang Jun sat alone in the courtyard. In front of him were a stone table, three stone chairs, and a tea set on the table.
The tea was obtained from Longhu Mountain. There were only sixteen tea leaves in total. He only used three to make this pot. This tea is very rare. It is a kind of spiritual tea that ordinary practitioners cannot drink.
Bai Yujing was practicing in the backyard, King Xie Tian went home to visit his mother, and Nangong Zi had just broken through the seventh level of true power and was studying the true talisman with great concentration, so she had no time to come out to accompany him.
Drinking tea alone was boring. Zhang Jun was about to go back to his room to meditate when Uncle Wu suddenly came. He was wearing a cotton vest and was as skinny as a man. He sat down at the table unceremoniously and poured a cup of tea.
Zhang Jun thought, taking this opportunity, why not ask for advice on how to break through to the realm of Juekong?
So he smiled "haha", and after Uncle Wu finished his cup of water and tea, he added another cup and said, "Senior, are you still used to the environment in Kyoto?"
Uncle Wu grinned and said, "It's just that the air quality is too bad, but everything else is fine."
Zhang Jun nodded: "There is nothing we can do about it. This is the inevitable result of rapid economic development." Then he thought about his words and said, "Senior, I am currently in the realm of awakening others. How can I break through and enter the realm of awakening Kong?"
Uncle Wu looked calm and asked: "What is emptiness?"
Zhang Jun thought for a while and said: "It probably means that there is no care in the heart, no fame or fortune, no life and death."
Uncle Wu laughed when he heard this and said, "If a person has no worries, no ambition for fame and fortune, and is not afraid of death, why should he practice?"
Zhang Jun was stunned. In his free time, he read Taoist and Buddhist classics, and he had his own set of understandings in his mind. But listening to Wu Bo's meaning at this moment, it seems that the meaning of "Juekong" is not what he thought.
.
He quickly asked: "Senior, what is emptiness?"
"You need to find this question yourself. Everyone's path is different, so it's useless to talk about it." Uncle Wu waved his hand and continued drinking tea.
He could no longer talk about the issue of "juekong", so he asked instead: "Senior, isn't he too young? I wonder which one is older, the mad Taoist?"
Uncle Wu glanced at him sideways and said, "I don't remember."
Zhang Jun shrugged his shoulders, knowing that he didn't want to say more about his situation, so he stopped asking and said: "How strong are the people in the supernatural realm? Can the seniors tell the juniors?"
Uncle Wu sighed and said: "If you gain something, you will lose something. People with magical powers are not omnipotent. You will not truly understand until you reach that level."
Zhang Jun nodded. Only the billionaire himself understands the troubles of the billionaire. Others cannot guess it.
The two chatted for a while, and Sun Ma actually came. She said to Uncle Wu: "They are coming, let's get away from them."
Zhang Jun's heart skipped a beat: "Who is coming?"
Sun Ma ignored him. He and Uncle Wu nodded and left in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Jun was unsure, who was coming? Uncle Wu and Aunt Sun had to avoid it?
While he was wondering and wondering, he suddenly felt that his mind was in a trance. The stars and the moon were spinning in front of his eyes, and the light and shadow were changing. Suddenly he came to a place. The courtyard was still the same courtyard, but it seemed that he was no longer in the same time and space.
There were people coming and going in the courtyard, including countless maids and servants, and he was also wearing a brocade robe, which made him look very noble.
The sun was high and there was a lot of noise outside the house.
Zhang Jun was startled, as if he was in a dream. He pinched his face and felt pain. This was not a dream.
Being hypnotized? His expression changed, and he raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, hoping to wake up Nangong Zi and Bai Yujing, but when he opened his mouth, the roar turned into laughter of "hehe".
A wry smile appeared on his face, knowing that the person who attacked him was very terrifying, and he could not compete with him at all. Who attacked him? A master of the town-teaching level from which aristocratic family? Or was it the Holy Lord himself?
With doubts and worries, he walked out of the mansion. Along the way, the servants and maids paid homage to him one after another, but he ignored them because he knew that these were all illusions.
Outside the gate of the house is a busy street, which is extremely prosperous. There are all kinds of shops, street stalls, sideshows, theaters, teahouses, wine shops, etc. on the street.
Zhang Jun walked expressionlessly through the bustling crowd. There were two people playing chess at the base of the city wall in front of him. These two people immediately attracted his attention, because everyone else was wearing ancient costumes, but these two were the only ones.
One was wearing an undershirt and the other was wearing a suit, which was incompatible with the overall environment.
Zhang Jun took a breath, strode forward, cupped his hands and said, "Seniors, please excuse me."
The man in the sweatshirt was in his forties, with a square face, looking very upright and with clear eyes. He ignored Zhang Jun and said to the man in the suit: "You have ambitions and we won't interfere, but this move...
You've crossed a line."
After saying that, he laid a stone.
The man in the suit had a cold expression, giving people a sense of awe. He said calmly: "I do my own thing, and others can't interfere."
The two of them went back and forth, and soon the chess game became an endgame.
Zhang Jun knew a lot about chess, and at a quick glance he knew that the man in the suit was losing ground, but he still resisted tenaciously and was very resilient.
Not long after, the middle-aged man in a sweatshirt suddenly said: "You have lost."
The man in the suit stood up, turned around and left without looking at Zhang Jun. At this time, the middle-aged man in a sweatshirt said to Zhang Jun: "Boy, don't use my name in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jun swayed and suddenly woke up from his dreamland. The cool breeze blew, and he was still standing in the yard. Under the starry sky, what happened just now seemed to be just a dream.
There was cold sweat on his forehead, and he murmured: "What happened just now?"
His vision radiated out, but he found nothing. Even Uncle Wu and Sun Nu had gone back to their rooms to rest. Bai Yujing and Nangong Zi were also practicing and seemed unaware of what was happening here.
He thought for a long time in the courtyard, but couldn't come up with a clue. He sighed and said to himself: "That man said I named him, who is he? Who is the man in the suit?"
The news that Longhu Mountain has reopened its gates has been widely circulated in the cultivation world, and all the major families have learned about it. Zhang Jun is still in Kyoto, and the matters here have not been settled yet.
At first, the people from Dark Sword ran to his home, clamoring for him to disband the Tianxing Group, and came to Yu's house to plead guilty. If the people from Angry Sword hadn't arrived, they would have captured him.
What makes him even more intolerable is that Dark Sword dares to blatantly threaten his family. Of course he will not let go of such an enemy, let alone be merciless.
In addition, the pressure from major aristocratic families caused the country to withdraw its all-round protection for him, which made him very unwilling and had to reverse this situation.
These two things are closely related to the reopening of Longhu Mountain. If done in advance, it will be very beneficial to the latter.
In a hotel in Kyoto, Zhang Jun used the special contact method of Longhu Mountain to get in touch with a person. This person's identity is quite special. He is not only a good friend of Hua Buyi, but also the leader of the X Brigade, and a member of the Longhu Mountain lineage.
The person, code name X.
X is still the leader of X, but when he saw Zhang Jun, he immediately bowed respectfully: "Greetings to Master Tian!"
Zhang Jun helped him up and said with a smile: "Get up quickly."
X stood up and said, "Master Tian has summoned me. What are your orders?"
Zhang Jun motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "I want to ask you about the situation of the Dark Sword."
X obviously knew about the conflict between Dark Sword and Zhang Jun. He nodded: "Dark Sword is a very ancient organization, dating back to the late Qing Dynasty."
So, he told a little-known history. It turned out that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Western world became rapidly prosperous and powerful thanks to the Industrial Revolution, and human science and technology advanced with each passing day.
The world structure has changed, and no one person or force can contend with such a big change, not even the domestic cultivation families.
There was a cooperative relationship between the Xiuzhen family and the Qing court, and they lived comfortably. However, the invasion of foreign powers made the Qing Dynasty unstable and unable to hold on for long.
What was even more intolerable to the cultivating families was that the Christian family, a super cultivating family in the West at that time, wanted to eliminate these aristocratic families in the country and spread Christian teachings, which was extremely ambitious.
This kind of ambition forced the major families to have no choice but to form a resistance alliance, which was the predecessor of the Dark Sword.
After the Resistance Alliance was established, it really played a huge role. It won several confrontations with the Christian family, forcing the other party to abandon their original plan and instead reach an agreement with the Alliance.
The agreement stipulates that neither the Eastern world nor the Western aristocratic families are allowed to participate in the changes in the world structure.
Later, the Christian family withdrew from the East, but the alliance did not disband, but reduced its number. They evolved into the Dark Sword. However, the goal of the Dark Sword is no longer to resist foreign enemies, but to suppress and kill all members who threaten the interests of the family.
people.
After the establishment of the new country, the Dark Sword cooperated with the state machinery and took the opportunity to expand its interests. Some time ago, the Dark Sword came to Zhang Jun for this reason. It represents the interests of the family. If Zhang Jun offends the family, it is equivalent to violating the Dark Sword.
.
After listening to X's story, Zhang Jun frowned and said, "How many people are there in the Dark Sword currently?"
"This is a relatively loose organization with an uncertain number of people, about a hundred or so, all of whom are true-level masters." X said, "The eight founding families are all members of the Dark Sword."
Zhang Jun nodded: "I understand."
"Master Tian wants to deal with the Dark Sword?" X asked.
"I originally had this plan, but after what you said, I'm afraid I have to let it go." Zhang Jun said, if there are only a dozen Dark Swordsmen, he can kill them by himself. But if there are hundreds of real power masters,
It was so powerful that he was completely unsure of it.
X said: "Actually, Master Tian doesn't need to rush to take action. The people in Dark Sword are not of the same mind. They exclude each other and each has their own interests. Master Tian is now cooperating with the Zhao family and the Lan family. Based on this, Dark Sword will
