Shushan: This Dao Ancestor Is a Little Too Unorthodox

A modern young scholar of Chinese classics is pulled into the world of Shushan while researching the Golden-Leaf Baye Zen Sutra. This is a fanfiction based on The Swordsmen of the Shu Mountains, written in the style of Toad Who Wanders. If that's not your thing, don't read it.

The Golden-Leaf serves as a golden finger, roughly equivalent to a small amount of spending.

The original story's events are all included: the Battle of Ciyun Temple, the Battle of Qingluo Valley, Lady Tianhu Baoxiang's tribulation, fetching water at Ziyun Palace, the treasure hunt at Yuanjiang, defeating enemies in the Huanbo Pool, slaying the Ten-Thousand-Year Centipede in the Land of Light, the Seven Elders of Mount Li's trial, Zen Master Dazhi's discourse on the Dao, and the conclusion of the third sword fight.

There are also plans for various magic treasures: slaying Zhu Hong at Simen Mountain, Zhang Mian's hidden treasure at Zhongnan Mountain, retrieving the Heshen Book of Wonders at the Snake King Temple, treasure hunting in the Xuanyuan Ancient Tomb, and the secret hoard of Lianshan on Moon Island, among others.

I won't reveal the ending. There's plenty of imagination here, so sit back and enjoy. The author will research every historical reference thoroughly before writing.
