Chapter 208: A Sword Goes East to Return to His Hometown
Zhang Sui yawned and walked out of the barracks, rubbing his brows. His head was still a little tight even now.
He was greatly disappointed by the place Zhou Jin took him to last night.
Originally he thought he would take him to the Eight Families, but instead he took him to a small place filled with the joy of silk and bamboo.
If the place where the music of silk and bamboo is played is filled with beautiful women, then that's fine.
The result is a group of old men over fifty years old. Although each of them is highly skilled, they can do it for everyone.
But this is completely different from what Zhang Sui thought!
Zhou Jin saw him playing the piano and flute with Mrs. Du and thought that he was obsessed with this way and found this place where ordinary people could not come.
In the beginning, you had to speak softly even when drinking, so as not to disturb those who were playing hard.
Even though Zhang Sui and the others were all practitioners, and those who played musical instruments were of high status, they dared to scold each other even if they disagreed with each other.
It was not until later that Zhang Sui showed off his flute skills, which shocked everyone. Only then did everyone put down their arrogance, and a group of people chatted together.
Later, Zhou Jin made several jars of wine from nowhere. It was said that it was wine brewed by practitioners. Zhang Sui was astonished when he drank it.
In the end, he poured out a piece. Zhang Sui had not been so happy for a long time, so he did not use his cultivation to get rid of the drunkenness.
Zhang Sui summoned the steward here and asked him to help inform Lao Lu.
Not long after, Lao Lu came in a hurry with a few guards.
Zhang Sui saw that Lao Lu looked tired, but he was very excited mentally.
Seeing Zhang Sui, Lao Lu asked: "Second Master, are you so anxious for me to come to see you? Is there something urgent?"
Seeing his state, Zhang Sui knew that this guy must not have had much rest in the past few days. As a mortal, Lao Lu's state was indeed normal.
Seeing this, Zhang Sui took out a jade bottle containing hundreds of pills.
This thing is made by Baimei based on the elixir recipe in the art of medicine, using mulberry as the main ingredient and other elixirs in the spiritual field as auxiliary ingredients.
It was originally intended for Xiao Wenjing to temper his body and strengthen his foundation.
This pill is very warm and tonic, and can be of great benefit to ordinary people.
Zhang Sui handed it to Lao Lu and said, "Take these and take one pill every day. It will be of some use."
Lao Lu took it with a smile and said: "Second Master is the one who cares about me the most. It shouldn't be just for this reason that you asked me to come, right?"
Zhang Sui nodded and said, "I'm going to go back. Do you have anything you want me to take back?"
Lao Lu was stunned, glanced at Meng Zhen next to him subconsciously, and said with a dry smile: "Well... you go and help me see how your Aunt Liu is doing now. Tell her that I am fine here, so that she doesn't have to worry about it.
..."
The last sentence is a bit unfounded.
Zhang Sui thought for a while and said, "How about you write a letter and I will bring it to Aunt Liu for you."
Hearing this, Lao Lu nodded quickly.
A moment later, Lao Lu handed a letter from home to Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui nodded and asked, "How is the situation now?"
When Lao Lu heard Zhang Sui's question, he looked very excited and said: "Everything is ready, there is only one chance left!"
Zhang Suidao: "How long will it take?"
Lao Lu hesitated and said: "I don't know the specific time." He pointed upward with his finger and whispered: "It depends on the meaning above, but I think it should be this month."
Zhang Sui nodded to express his understanding.
In the art of knowing the ground, the fog of war in this area has become so thick that it cannot be cleared away, I think it has only happened in the near future.
Zhang Sui looked at Lao Lu and said, "Be more careful. I will come back as soon as possible."
Lao Lu smiled and said: "Second Master, don't worry, my safety will definitely be fine. There are so many people around me protecting me. Besides, there are still treasures you left for me. It's not easy to hurt me!"
Zhang Sui shook his head and said: "Only improving your own strength is the best way to save your life. You tell me that you are not lacking in cultivation methods. I really don't understand what you are thinking!"
Lao Lu chuckled and said: "Second Master, don't worry too much, I know it well, and you will know it in the future!"
Zhang Sui waved his hand and said, "It's up to you!"
Zhang Sui looked at Meng Zhen and others and said, "You still need to take more care. I leave the safety of Laolu to you."
After saying that, he took out a few complete versions of the Four Elephant Jade Talisman, handed them to them, and said with a smile: "I hope you will accept it if you are kind enough!"
When the practitioners' guards on Laolu saw this, they looked happy and stepped forward to take it respectfully. This is a good thing.
Meng Zhen did not take the jade talisman because she already had one. She smiled and said: "Thank you, fellow Daoist Zhang, if you don't tell us, we will try our best to protect Brother Lu. Don't worry!"
Several other guards also agreed.
Zhang Sui nodded with a smile and said to Lao Lu, "Then I'll take the first step!"
After saying that, he turned into sword light and headed east.
Everyone watched his leaving figure and stood silently for a moment.
Meng Zhen said to Lao Lu enviously: "Brother Lu, Fellow Daoist Zhang is so kind to you!"
Lao Lu smiled and said: "Of course, I watched him grow up and took care of him for many years. Although I call him Second Master, my relationship with him is actually similar to that of father and son. Now he should take more care of me!"
Meng Zhen snorted softly and said: "In this relationship between you two, you still don't know who is the father and who is the son?"
The other practitioners around him burst out laughing when they heard this.
Lao Lu didn't care and said: "When I was young, I protected him, and now he protects me. You can't envy this!"
Zhang Sui, who was heading east all the way, was still a little excited about going home.
In the blink of an eye, I have been out for nearly three months, and I don’t know what the situation is like at home.
What he misses the most is actually his eldest brother. Stimulated by Fu Yun and his third sister Zhang Xin, before he came out, his eldest brother felt a little bit like a demon.
Now three months have passed and I don't know how he is progressing.
It took me more than half a month to come here, but only half a day after I returned, I saw the outline of Kunzhou City.
The moment he saw Kunzhou City, Zhang Sui had mixed feelings in his heart.
This is his home!
The closer to Kunzhou City, Zhang Sui felt the greater the changes in this area.
The biggest change is the intensity of spiritual energy. Compared with before he left, the intensity of spiritual energy in the entire Kunzhou City area has increased by at least 30%.
As for the source, Zhang Sui knew without thinking that it must have come from Junshan near Kunzhou City.
Zhang Sui stood in the air outside the city, looking at the vibrant city, feeling peaceful and happy in his heart.
Just when he was about to enter the city, he suddenly felt several figures approaching him quickly in the city, and the target was him.
Zhang Sui was a little curious. He looked like a guard in the city.
When did Kunzhou City become wealthy enough to use practitioners from the Immortal Realm as guards?
In order to avoid misunderstanding, Zhang Sui stood there and waited for their arrival.
Soon two practitioners who were at the beginning of the Human Immortal Realm came near Zhang Sui. Zhang Sui looked at the two of them and found that they didn't know each other.
The two men relaxed a little when they saw Zhang Sui staying there waiting for them.
One of the older practitioners raised his hands and asked, "This is the boundary of Junshan Academy. I wonder what you call it and where it comes from."
Zhang Sui looked at the two of them with a smile. The elder's breath was like the scorching sun. Even though they were so far apart, he could feel the waves of heat hitting his face.
But the other young woman next to him had a sword spirit that penetrated her bones, and her movements and movements were filled with sharp golden energy. She turned out to be a rare sword cultivator.
Zhang Sui didn't try to be mysterious. He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Are you two arranged by the academy to guard here? I am Zhang Sui, and I am also a member of the academy. Have you ever heard of me?"
The two were startled and looked at each other. The female practitioner said: "The second young master of Tanhua Bookstore, Zhang Sui, the vice president of Junshan Academy?"
Zhang Sui nodded and said, "Yes. I am Zhang Sui from Tanhua Bookstore. As for the title of Vice President of Junshan Academy, it is just a joke and should not be taken seriously."
When the two heard this, their attitudes immediately became respectful.
The older practitioner smiled and said: "Dean Zhang is too modest. Your name is like thunder in the academy, and there are countless people who have benefited from your kindness. We have been in the academy for more than two months, and we have not had the opportunity to see you before, but
I have also received your favor!"
Zhang Sui was a little surprised and said: "Accepting my favor? Where do you start talking about this?"
The elder smiled and said: "I wasted 30 years in the Ascension Realm, and I was able to break through to the Human Immortal Realm, thanks to the elixir that Dean Zhang left in the academy."
Zhang Sui suddenly realized that the prescription left behind when he left had worked.
The female cultivator directly showed her sword skills, which was one of the ones left by Zhang Sui in the academy. The female cultivator said: "My name is Mo Yan, and I come from a small sect. The classics in the sect are incomplete, but
I also have some resources and relied on incomplete classics to cultivate to the realm of Ascension.
In the end, it was thanks to Dean Zhang's stay that I made a decisive breakthrough to the human fairyland. Dean Zhang, you can be said to be half of my teacher!" After saying this, he bowed respectfully.
Zhang Suixu helped him and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Mo was able to enter Taoism with incomplete scriptures and practice to the realm of ascension. It can be said that he is extremely talented. I believe that even without my determination, a breakthrough would be a matter of time. No need to be so polite!"
With this relationship, the three of them feel much closer.
Mo Yan asked: "Didn't Dean Zhang go on a trip? Are you going home now?"
Zhang Sui shook his head and said, "I just have to come back for some things. I wonder if Mr. Meng is in the academy?"
The elder Taoist priest named Chen Zhong heard this and said: "Mr. Meng is entertaining several distinguished people who have traveled here these days. Dean Zhang came back at the right time."
Zhang Sui asked curiously: "Oh? I wonder where the master is?" A master who can entertain Mr. Meng attentively should at least have a similar level of cultivation to Mr. Meng.
Chen Zhongdao: "I also heard from several other Taoist friends. It is said that an expert from the imperial court brought several experts from the Hai tribe to visit Mr. Meng."
Zhang Sui's expression changed slightly when he heard the word Hai Clan. But he quickly came back to his senses and said: "I see, are you two guarding the city now?"
Mo Yan said with a smile: "This is what Commander Qingyi Wei Cheng of Kunzhou City suggested to Mr. Meng to arrange this. After all, most of the students in the academy now come from Kunzhou City, and their families are here, so they can be considered prepared!"
Hearing Mo Yan mention Cheng Di, Zhang Sui felt a little better. He hadn't seen these old friends for so long, so he had to get together this time when he came back.
Zhang Sui nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll go home first and then go to the academy tomorrow."
Chen Zhongdao: "Dean Zhang, please help yourself. If you need any instructions, just let us know. Fellow Taoist Mo and I will be on duty here this month."
Zhang Sui smiled and cupped his hands and said, "You're welcome, I'll go ahead and say goodbye!"
The two of them bowed their hands to him, and Zhang Sui turned into sword light and went straight to Zhang's house.
Mo Yan said to Chen Zhong: "Until now, I find it difficult to have confidence in Dean Zhang. At such an age and with such a high level of cultivation, I don't know how he practices."
Chen Zhong laughed and said: "I can't say this enough. You and Dean Zhang are similar in age, just a few years older than him. Aren't you also in the Immortal Realm now?
I have only cultivated to this level at this age, and then I have really cultivated to a dog!"
Mo Yan quickly said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just feeling emotional for a moment."
Chen Zhong smiled and said: "You don't have to be like this, I have already looked away. This kind of practice makes no sense.
You see, you are able to reach this level at such a young age, especially you, who comes from a small sect and has crossed several realms with only incomplete volumes of classics. What is this? This is opportunity, and it is also your own qualifications and efforts. This is
It is something that others cannot envy.
And how many people like Dean Zhang are there in the entire spiritual world? People like them are favored by heaven and cannot be compared!"
Chen Zhong looked at the direction Zhang Sui was leaving and sighed.
Mo Yan remained silent.
Zhang Sui dropped down outside the Zhang Mansion and strolled to the gate.
The concierge saw his figure at a glance and was overjoyed.
He quickly ran to him and said happily: "Second Young Master, you are finally back. Madam is thinking about you every day. Please come in quickly! Lao Feng, open the front door!"
Lao Feng quickly opened the middle door and gave a small order to inform Mr. Liu soon.
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "I've only been away for a few months, why come back now it's like a distinguished guest? It doesn't have to be like this!"
The concierge's surname is also Lu, and his first name is Luther. Speaking of which, he is from the same family as Lao Lu, but has a different branch.
Luther rubbed his hands and smiled and said: "Second Young Master, you don't know that my wife has been talking about you for three days since you left, worrying that you can't take care of yourself when you are away from home. Yesterday, I went to the east of the city with sister Liu Rui.
I am lighting incense at the Taoist temple and praying for you and Brother Lu!"
The news of Zhang Sui's return soon spread, and Mrs. Liu, accompanied by several maids, quickly came to the front hall.
Before Zhang Sui could sit down, a group of people rushed in.
The leader was none other than Ms. Liu, followed by Liu Rui, who had a slightly bulging belly.
When Zhang Sui saw Mrs. Liu arriving, he quickly stood up and went to greet her. When he came closer, he bowed respectfully and said, "I've seen my mother, so you are worried!"
Mrs. Liu held Zhang Sui's hand and kept looking at him. She said: "Yesterday, Xiaorui and I went to burn incense and thought about when you would come back. I didn't expect to see you today. This is really a blessing from the Taoist Master!"
Come, let me take a good look, you must have endured hardship outside these past few months!"
Zhang Sui was already used to being close to Mrs. Liu. He helped Mrs. Liu sit down and said with a smile: "Mother, how can I suffer hardships outside? That's great! Look at me now, am I right?"
Even taller than before!"
This is indeed true. As the power of the Judgment of Power is gradually revealed, the current Zhang Sui is no longer the weak young man.
In addition, in the past few months, he has been fighting constantly, and his temperament has also changed a lot. He looks much more mature than his actual age.
Mrs. Liu looked at him happily, nodded repeatedly, and said: "Not bad, really good! He is becoming more and more like an adult. He is also more and more like your father!"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu's eyes became a little moist. This is indeed true. When chatting with Lao Lu, Lao Lu also mentioned that he looked more and more like his father.
Now, when Mrs. Liu sees the slightly weathered Zhang Sui, she feels nostalgic for him just like seeing her husband who was once a high-spirited man.
Zhang Sui held Mrs. Liu's hand and said softly: "Don't be sad, mother. Who told father that he is not blessed? Look at mother, you are living younger and younger now. If father sees you like this, he will probably...
My jaw will drop!"
Mrs. Liu stayed in a place with rich aura like Zhang Sui, and Zhang Sui made a lot of tonic pills for her before leaving. She looks much younger now than before.
There were tears in the corners of Liu's eyes. Hearing Zhang Sui's words, he couldn't help but smile. He patted him gently and said, "It's not big or small, it's just nonsense!"
