80s Taoism

Zhang Jiaohua, Kong Jiyuan and his son stood under the highest peak of Yingpan Mountain.

"Master, if we build a mountain gate here, it will not be an easy task to transport the needed materials in." Kong Jiyuan said with some concern.

"Modern technology is so advanced, how can it be possible to use manpower to carry it? We can transport it by helicopter. At most, the cost is higher." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Sect master, I don't think it's a big problem. Teacher Mei's experiment gave me a lot of inspiration. We can't stick to the previous methods of the cultivation world, nor can we stick to modern technology. We can combine the methods of monks with modern technology. Our tool refining hall can first develop some tools needed for construction. We can clean up this valley. Then we will first manufacture the building modules outside, and then transport them here for assembly. In this way, I think, the difficulty of construction will be greatly reduced." Kong Jiyuan's son Kong Fangzhou interjected.

"Well, this is a good idea. Then I will leave this matter to you." Zhang Jiaohua nodded approvingly.

"Should we build a road to come in?" Kong Jiyuan asked.

"No. I didn't want to be disturbed by the outside. Besides, what is such a small distance to us monks?" Zhang Jiaohua shook his head.

After the affairs here were also arranged, Zhang Jiaohua hurried back to the Stream Cloud Secret Realm without stopping, where Mei Qing's experiment had been completed. It has been able to ensure that the accidents that occurred before will not happen again. And those candidates who have successfully optimized, individual candidates have entered the stage of refining gas in a short period of time. It shows that the effect of this optimized reagent is beyond the previous expectation. Knowing that this optimization reagent may have a certain effect, I did not expect the effect to be so good.

"Has this optimization reagent been tested on monks?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

Mei Qing asked suspiciously: "Is it necessary? At present, we have not yet determined whether this optimization reagent will affect the future development of ascetics. If we conduct the experiment rashly, we obviously have to try it."

Zhang Jiaohua thought about it, and felt that she was too impatient: "That's right, let's observe this group of candidates first and see how they are doing."

"Next, I want to carry out the research from last time, what do you think?" Mei Qing asked.

Mei Qing naturally meant that during the last experiment, Mei Qing thought of a research direction. Optimizing reagents may affect some viruses. Maybe it can also be used in the prevention and treatment of diseases.

"It's fine for you to make your own decision. I won't interfere with you. But you can't relax your own cultivation." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Okay." Mei Qing smiled sweetly. What she loves most is being able to continue her research.

"I'm here this time to take away a batch of optimization reagents." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"I know. It's ready. By the way, can I provide some for my family?" Mei Qing asked.

"How much you need, you prepare it yourself. But this optimization reagent, the news cannot be disclosed. It must be ensured that the news will not spread." Zhang Jiaohua reminded.

Mei Qing nodded: "I will bring my family here. In this way, the news will not leak out."

After Zhang Jiaohua took a batch of optimized reagents, he hurried to Meiziao.

Because of some considerations, Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye have rarely left Meizi'ao Village.

Today's Meizi'ao is very lively, with an endless stream of tourists coming and going. Many foreigners come to Meizi'ao to seek development. Zijiang City even began to consider upgrading Meizi'ao Village to Meizi'ao Town. If Meiziao becomes a town, it can be ranked in the whole country.

Just one Biyu Immortal Drink Group has already made Meiziao's annual GDP reach an astonishing figure. Now Meiziao also has a tourist tea farm, which can also bring considerable benefits. In addition, there are many hotels in Meiziao, which receive millions of tourists every year. During the peak season like Golden Week, the number of tourists received in a day reaches tens of thousands.

Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye live in Meizitang, which is a very independent area. A pass is required to enter it. Every day, the security team organized by the villagers of Meiziao Village conducts patrols all the time. But in fact, dozens of monks are paying attention to any movement here, in a place that ordinary people can't detect at all.

Qi Xia is one of them. Qixia University also graduated ahead of schedule, and he and Nie Tong have long been cultivators of refining and transforming qi. When Xiyun Secret Realm selected monks who came to Meishan Secret Realm, Qi Xia and Nie Tong signed up together. A total of several hundred people came. There are hundreds of monks who have entered the refining process. This is Zhang Jiaohua's hometown, and for the Meishan School, it is naturally the top priority.

Before Zhang Jiaohua came, he had already informed Qi Xia and Nie Tong. So when Zhang Jiaohua rushed to Meizitang, Qi Xia and Nie Tong were waiting at the door together.

"Zhang Jiaohua!"

Qi Xia and Nie Tong waited for Zhang Jiaohua to come out of the car, and immediately went up to meet him.

"You two guys. Long time no see!" Zhang Jiaohua was also very excited. Several people haven't seen each other for a long time.

"Isn't it because you don't see the end of the dragon?" Qi Xia complained.

"Have Yuan Bao and the mute arrived yet?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

"The two of them will be late. Leave them alone and go home first. I think my uncle and aunt are waiting at home. I have watched my aunt come here a few times. Although I didn't say anything, I can see that they miss you very much. Why did you not go home for so long?" Nie Tong is now much more cheerful than when Zhang Jiaohua first met.

"You two college students don't have any complaints about working as security guards in Meizitang?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

"How could it be? In fact, Meizitang is very good. People in our Ruyi Village have been demolished, and my grandfather and I were also allocated resettlement houses in Meizitang. I work as a security guard here, and I can still live with my grandfather every day." Nie Tong laughed.

"My family has also moved here. Others may not be able to move in. Most people are assigned to the resettlement community outside Meiziao. Only we have the opportunity to enter Meizitang. It's too late for others to envy." Qi Xia is also very satisfied with his current life. Although he was a little security guard, he was actually a monk. It doesn't matter what job he does. The most important thing is that he has five days a week to stay in the secret place of Meishan to practice.

"I came back this time, and I brought some good things. Let's go, I'll tell you when I get home." Zhang Jiaohua, Qi Xia, and Nie Tong walked to Zhang Jiaohua's house side by side.

Liu Qiaoye, who was carrying a stainless steel kettle to water the flowers in the yard, suddenly loosened his hand, and the kettle fell to the ground with a jingle, "You brat, you still know this is your home! I thought you forgot this place!"

Zhang Jiaohua walked quickly to Liu Qiaoye, and said with a smile, "Mother, haven't I just returned?"

"Why are you willing to come back today? County Magistrate Zhang, aren't you busy with business today?" Although Liu Qiaoye was mocking on the surface, she was actually very proud of her son in her heart.

"Who is your son? His work efficiency is extremely high. Your son can finish what other people have been doing for several years. Now that the work in Daihua County is on the right track, I just need to take macro control. Other things will naturally be done by someone else." Zhang Jiaohua laughed.

"Qi Xia, Nie Tong, you two also come in and sit down." Liu Qiaoye waved to Qi Xia and Nie Tong.

Qi Xia waved to Liu Qiaoye: "Nie Tong and I went to the gate to wait for Yuan Bao and Dumb. They will also come back today."

"That's great. You will come with them later. I will have dinner at my house today, and I will prepare some good dishes." Liu Qiaoye said.

"That's for sure. If you don't call us, some of us will come too." Nie Tong laughed.

Zhang Youping came down from upstairs, took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose, smiled and said to Zhang Jiaohua, "County Zhang is here, a rare visitor."

"Look at your dad now, he's wearing glasses, and he's just pretending to be. I'm afraid he'll miss the stairs when he goes down the stairs, so he'll just roll down. The glasses aren't short-sighted, so he has to wear a pair of flat glasses." Liu Qiaoye directly exposed Zhang Youping.

"I'm old, can't I?" Zhang Youping blushed slightly.

"Where are grandparents?" Zhang Jiaohua glanced into the room.

"Your grandparents said they wouldn't live with us, saying that it's fashionable to live together. They renovated the old house and moved back to the old house. The appearance of the old house is still the same as before, but the conditions inside are similar to ours," Liu Qiaoye said.

"Then I'll call my grandparents to come with me." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Hurry up and go back, it's late, your grandparents may have cooked the meals." Zhang Youping said.

Zhang Jiaohua walked to the old house and found that everything around the old house and the appearance of the old house were still the same as before. Zhang Jiaohua vaguely remembered that year when the big blue wolf besieged the village, and he and his grandparents guarded the house. The big blue wolf attacked desperately, almost biting through the door of the fifth child, and got into the house.

The gate of Laowutangwu is still the same as before, and there is even a big head drawn on it with a brush by Zhang Jiaohua when he was a child.

"Calling flowers! When did you come back?" Zhang Manyin's body is still strong.

Ma Donghua came out quickly when she heard the voice: "Oh, beggar, are you back? Come in, come in, grandma will get you something to eat. Are you hungry?"

"Don't go get something to eat. Are you confused? Youping and Qiaoye must be preparing lunch at this time. What else are you going to prepare? Get some peaches that Fat Monkey sent over today, this kid is the best." Zhang Manyin said.

"Fat monkey?" Zhang Jiaohua kept putting the fat monkey in the cultivation map.

"There is an old monkey who often brings us fruits. If he grows fat, we call him a fat monkey." Zhang Manyin said with a smile.

"Squeak!" A monkey called out from outside, and a chubby monkey came in with two bunches of grapes in his hand. It seems that it is very familiar with this place. Seeing Zhang Jiaohua, he was a little hesitant. Zhang Jiaohua couldn't recognize it, but it recognized Zhang Jiaohua. This old fat monkey was the leader of the macaques back then, and now he has retired and gave up his position to the younger generation. It thinks well of Zhang Jiaohua's family, and often picks the most delicious fruits from the mountains and sends them to Zhang Jiaohua's grandparents.

Zhang Jiaohua called the fat monkey out of the cultivation map, and when the fat monkey saw the old man, he immediately jumped up and hugged the old man. The old fat monkey was also very moved, tears flickered in his eyes.

This fat monkey was grown up under the watchful eye of the old man, and he is also the most promising junior in the macaque race. The old leader naturally attached great importance to it. Even today's new leader cannot replace Fat Monkey's detached position in the race.

Now Fat Monkey has greatly increased his intelligence and wisdom, and he has also begun to understand some ways of life. There is also a growing attachment to race.

"Fat Monkey, let you take a few days off, you go back first." Zhang Jiaohua said.

Fat Monkey rubbed on Zhang Jiaohua's body, then happily followed the old man away.

"Hey, this fat monkey is getting more and more spiritual." Zhang Manyin couldn't help his eyes getting wet seeing the two fat monkeys being so emotional.

"Grandpa, grandma, let's go there first. Otherwise, my mother will call to remind me." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Alright, Donghua, let's go there." Zhang Manyin urged.

Ma Donghua changed her clothes, and she looked brand new all of a sudden. In recent years, Zhang Manyin and Ma Donghua have had a more relaxed life. Although they are no longer young, they look much younger than their age.

"It's an old bone, and I still like to do this, so I'm not ashamed." Zhang Manyin couldn't help but say something.

"I am willing, what do you want me to do if you are so stubborn?" Ma Donghua gave Zhang Manyin a white look, smiled and pulled Zhang Jiaohua outside, "Beggar, do you think grandma's clothes look good?"

"It looks good, grandma looks ten years younger in this outfit." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Well, my grandson just has eyesight. Unlike some old man who is old and blind." Ma Donghua said.

When Zhang Jiaohua and his grandparents rushed home, Zhang Yuanbao and the mute had already arrived.

Seeing Zhang Jiaohua, Zhang Yuanbao jumped over and put his arms around Zhang Jiaohua's shoulder: "Biaohua, you brat, I didn't graduate from college, but you graduated with a Ph.D. How can you make me feel like an older brother?"

"Where are you going in the future? Follow me to Daihua County, or go back to Meiziao, or go to the capital." Zhang Jiaohua asked.

"I haven't made up my mind yet. I heard that Daihua County is going to build a mountain gate. I'm going to go and have a look first, and then make plans." Zhang Yuanbao said.

"Mute, what about you?" Zhang Jiaohua turned around and asked the mute again.

The mute laughed and said, "I'll stay in the capital. There is always a need to keep someone on the side of Xiyun Secret Realm."

Zhang Jiaohua nodded: "That's fine. But where to go, you should think about it yourself. You don't need to think too much about other factors. The most important thing is strength. Our strength has improved, so there is no need to worry about anything else."
