Chapter 180: Return to Dancing Elephant City and Untie the Knot
Zhao Ya actually didn't care about this matter at all.
Even if these surrendered cavalrymen disobeyed the yang and yin, if they really planned to do something, they didn't need Zhao Ya to do anything, and the warriors who had already gained a firm foothold and tasted the sweetness would tear them all apart.
What's more, this simply cannot happen.
From the moment these cavalry surrendered, they were doomed to have no way back.
What's more, Sun Yingkui was not happy under Wei Hongbin before, but now he finally has the opportunity to be on his own, and I believe he will cherish it more than anyone else.
Shen Dao and Shi Qingqing's wedding was completed smoothly.
Lu Dingtai gave them a courtyard next to the martial arts hall, so the two happily moved over and lived a sweet life for two.
The turmoil of this war finally subsided, although from time to time there were still invitations or letterheads with a faint fragrance thrown into the martial arts hall through the wall, and it was written that they would be given to Zhao Ya.
But after all, people have to live, so things are gradually returning to normal.
Zhao Ya also declined many invitations from the outside world, and concentrated on studying the newly obtained Little Five Roads Soul Chasing Legs
In the blink of an eye, it was more than ten days.
On this day, in the mountains and forests outside the county town, Zhao Ya's figure was like a ghost, shuttling rapidly between the mountains and forests.
The branches of the tree did not hinder him at all, and often at the moment before his death, his body would naturally change, and he would easily pass through the gap.
The whole process is natural, and the speed is extremely fast.
Finally.
After passing through a large mountain forest, a strange rocky hill appeared in front of me.
Zhao Ya's body was vertical, and he landed lightly on a boulder, and then stood firm, and then slowly exhaled a breath, frowning and thinking.
Still won't work.
Although after a few days of hard training, both the speed of the body and the agility of the dodge have been improved to varying degrees.
But the last 1% of the difference is like a moat, and it is impossible to surpass.
Zhao Ya took out a piece of jerky, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
After replenishing his qi and blood, Zhao Ya began to practice his leg skills.
I saw that he was as agile as a swallow, constantly walking on this stone hill, and the place where he landed was chosen on the stone.
With a click, a stone the size of a watermelon was crushed alive, splashing a small cloud of dust.
And this is already the norm.
In just a moment, the stones of the right size on the hill were almost all shattered by Zhao Ya.
He stopped at the top of the hill and opened the properties panel.
Name: Zhao Ya. Age: 19 years old. Remaining life: 392 (+17 days) years
Skill: Eight Vajra Longevity Skills (57% of the peak)
Five Tiger Fist (Back to Basics 13%)
Tempest Knife (Back to Basics 16%)
Light as a swallow (99% of the peak)
Breath Gathering (99% of the peak)
Monument Wrestler (8%)
Donkey Kong (11%)
Golden Body Recipe (Pure Green 4998/5000)
Little Five Ways Soul Chaser Leg (Entering the House 231/500)
[Lung Unlock Progress: 17%]
Although he had only been practicing for a few days, thanks to Zhao Ya's strong realm strength, this leg skill was quickly practiced to the point of entering the room.
After reaching this realm, the power of this leg skill is gradually revealed, and there is the power of gravel to open the mountain with a casual kick.
However, Zhao Ya felt that the biggest effect of this leg skill might be to improve the speed of his body technique, otherwise how could his body technique have improved significantly in the past few days.
Of course, this is just a guess, whether it has to wait for its realm to be higher, at least until a small success can be verified.
Other than that, the data has not changed much, and the progress of unlocking lungs has only increased by 8%.
But Jin Shenjue is on the verge of breaking through, which is also related to the fact that Zhao Ya went to the Guangrui Martial Arts Hall to ask Jin Zhenming for advice recently.
According to this progress, no later than tomorrow, the Golden Body Technique can break through to the peak of the Extreme Realm.
Because the Golden Body Recipe is related to one's own defense, it also means that one's self-protection ability will go one step further.
At that point, it's time to leave for a trip back to Dancing Elephant City.
Zhao Ya secretly made up his mind and practiced the exercises again before returning home.
As expected, the next day, when Zhao Ya slapped the muscles of his whole body according to the record of the golden body technique, filling all parts of his body with qi and blood, and refining a strong body, the long-lost prompt finally came.
γGolden Body Skill Proficiency Plus 3γ
Zhao Ya was overjoyed and opened the panel to take a look.
Really.
The golden body has come from the perfection of the furnace to the peak of the creation of the extreme.
After reaching this realm, Zhao Ya's skin was as tough as steel, and there was not even a red mark after the ordinary blade was slashed, let alone hurt.
Almost.
With the golden body trick as a foundation, Zhao Ya has more confidence to go back to revenge.
Therefore, that night, he informed Lu Dingtai that he was going to go back to Dancing Elephant City.
Lu Dingtai didn't stop him after listening to it.
"It's okay, with your current strength, not to mention Dancing Elephant City, even the entire Yunxiao County can't find a few people who can be your opponents. So I don't have anything to say, but I just want to tell you a word. β
"Master, please speak."
Lu Dingtai's face suddenly became solemn.
"Don't leave any of the people who killed my junior brother in the first place, kill them all, maybe it?"
Hearing Lu Dingtai's murderous entrustment, Zhao Ya couldn't laugh or cry.
Since being promoted to the Five Realms, Master's murderous nature has become more and more great.
But in fact, there is no need for Lu Dingtai to say that Zhao Ya didn't plan to let go of those guys when he went back this time.
So he nodded very seriously and said, "Don't worry, Master, I promise not to leave any of them, and kill them all." β
"Okay, hahahaha, this is my good apprentice!" Lu Dingtai was very happy, and when he parted, he gave Zhao Ya a small bottle of King Kong Pills.
This thing can not only be used for ordinary cultivation, but also temporarily replenish qi and blood during battle, which can be described as a necessary medicine for home travel, killing people and setting fires.
After Zhao Ya thanked Lu Dingtai, he took the bottle of Vajra Pills and left.
After he left, Lu Dingtai was silent for a moment, and then said: "Come out, the person has already left." β
Meng Shiwen lifted the curtain and walked out of the back room, with a somewhat dazed expression on her face.
"Master."
Lu Dingtai sighed, "Actually, it's not that I don't want you to go, after all, it's your father, and it's normal for people to go and worship, but this kid obviously knows that you are in the back room, but he never mentions it, so it can be seen that he doesn't want to take you back." β
Meng Shiwen lowered her head and was silent.
Although Lu Dingtai always looks decisive in front of outsiders, he still shows rare gentleness in the face of this girl who is not a daughter but is better than a daughter.
"If you really want to go, I'll give him a message and ask him to take you back to Dancing Elephant City?"
Meng Shiwen shook her head and refused.
"No need, in fact, I didn't think much about going, people are already dead, worship or something is just for the living, and it has no effect."
After speaking, Meng Shiwen retired and left.
Looking at her back, Lu Dingtai sighed slightly.
He knew that the knot in Meng Shiwen's heart had not yet been unraveled.
Senior brother, junior brother, do you know that you were angry at the time, but you hurt your daughter?
A rare look of gloom appeared on Lu Dingtai's face.
At the same time, Zhao Ya returned home.
The drunken child was packing his bags in a hurry.
Zhao Ya had already told Zui'er that he was about to leave for the Dancing Elephant City, so Zui'er couldn't even sleep well in the excitement of the past two days.
When he saw Zhao Ya coming back, Zui'er said happily: "Brother Xiaoya, everything has been packed, when will you leave?" β
Zhao Ya smiled, "What's the matter, in a hurry?" β
"Hmm." The drunken child nodded vigorously.
"Tomorrow, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."
The drunken child suddenly burst into a bright smile.
"Good!"
Then, as if showing off, she dragged Zhao Ya to introduce him to what the luggage she had prepared.
"Well, these are the two pairs of shoes I sewed for my grandmother, her old man likes new shoes the most, but the conditions at home were not good, and she couldn't easily wear a pair, and even when she died, she wore a pair of old cloth shoes."
As he spoke, the drunken son's voice became a little choked.
Zhao Ya knew that she had a deep relationship with her grandmother, so she always felt nostalgic for not being able to let her grandmother live a good life for a few days.
He stepped forward and gently took the drunk child into his arms.
"Good, don't be sad, grandma has a spirit in the sky, and she will definitely be very happy to see you live so happily now."
"Well, I'm not sad, I'm happy." Zui'er wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said very seriously.
"Well, it's fun, I believe in you!" Zhao Ya said.
finally comforted the drunken child to sleep, and then Zhao Ya came to the courtyard and suddenly spoke.
"Senior sister, after waiting outside for so long, don't you come in?"
A moment later, a figure flashed, and then Meng Shiwen appeared in the courtyard.
Of course, Zhao Ya knew what she was here for, but she didn't say anything, just pointed to the stone bench in the courtyard.
"Senior sister, please take a seat."
Meng Shiwen sat down and was silent.
She didn't speak, and Zhao Ya naturally couldn't speak.
The two of them were silent.
After a full cup of tea, Meng Shiwen suddenly said: "Tomorrow...... Are you leaving? β
"Yes."
"Back to Dancing Elephant City?"
"Yes!"
"What are you going to do?"
"Kill."
After a few short sentences, Meng Shiwen fell silent again.
Zhao Ya looked at her quietly, and did not urge.
Finally.
Meng Shiwen raised her eyes and took out a small burden with some hesitation.
"Here are some things I have prepared, if you go to his grave to worship, please burn them for me."
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya flatly refused.
"Nope."
"Why?" Meng Shiwen was a little confused.
"Since this is what you prepared for your father, why didn't you go and worship in person, but let me help you?" Zhao Ya said lightly.
Meng Shiwen's face once again showed a very tangled expression.
"But I ......."
"When I met Master Lu, Senior Sister should have been in the back room, so why didn't you show up at that time and tell me directly, what do you really think?" Zhao Ya was very aggressive.
Meng Shiwen's face was painful, and she murmured: "I don't know how to face him, I hate him very much, I hate him for abandoning me, but at the same time I pity him, I feel that he is buried alone in a foreign land, and there is not even a person to incense in front of the grave." β
"In fact, the reason why you don't know how to face many things is because of your evasion."
"That's your father, and I don't want to get involved in the emotional entanglement between you, but I just want to say that he never abandoned you, and even when he was dying, he proudly told me about you."
Speaking of this, Zhao Ya stood up and said lightly.
"I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning, and if you want to go, come to me with your things, or forget it."
After speaking, Zhao Ya turned around and went back to the house, leaving Meng Shiwen alone in the courtyard in a daze.
"Who, Brother Xiaoya?" The drunken child, who was sleeping in a daze, vaguely heard the sound of talking in the courtyard and couldn't help asking.
"It's nothing, go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow and hurry!"
"Hmm!"
The drunken child did not suspect him, and fell asleep again.
Zhao Ya listened to the slight noise in the courtyard, knowing that it was Meng Shiwen who had left, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing.
But when I thought of Master Meng Lei showing off how good his daughter was to himself before he died, I couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
Never mind.
I've done the best I can.
As for whether to go or not, that's not up to you.
Zhao Ya closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and soon fell asleep.
Before dawn the next day, Zui'er got up and began to pack his things.
When Zhao Ya got dressed, breakfast was ready.
After a simple two-bite meal, Zhao Ya saluted and left the courtyard with the drunken child.
There was no one to see them off.
Because Zhao Ya left this time, in addition to telling Lu Dingtai and Meng Shiwen, only Shang Luoluo knew.
When I got out, a long-distance carriage was already parked on the side of the road.
This was prepared by Zhao Ya in advance.
The distance between Yunxiao County and Dancing Elephant City is not too far, and if you take the official road, with Zhao Ya's current footsteps, it can be reached in five or six days at most.
But it's different with a drunk.
He can't let this little girl sleep in the open like himself.
The last time I came, it was because I was helpless, so I took the mountain and forest path, which made Zhao Ya very distressed and felt wronged and drunk.
The situation of going back this time has changed dramatically, and with strong strength as the backing, Zhao Ya is no longer afraid of anyone, so he can naturally take the official road in a grand manner.
After arranging all the salutes, Zui'er got into the carriage, and Zhao Ya sat in front and was responsible for catching the car.
Zhao Ya took one last look at the gate of the martial arts hall, and saw that the road was empty, and no one appeared, so he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and then waved his whip lightly.
Syllable.
The carriage scurried out of the city.
When I came to the city gate, the city gate had just been opened, and the people who came in and out were vegetable farmers who came into the city to sell vegetables or merchants who were rushing out of the city.
Zhao Ya's carriage was inconspicuous in it, and Zhao Ya deliberately brought a big hat to cover his face, so he went out of the city smoothly.
After leaving the city, continue along the official road, and soon enter the suburbs of the county.
Although it was already early winter, the wheat seedlings in the fields were still green, and many farmers were working.
After the siege of the beast tide and the rebellion of the cavalry, Yunxiao County finally ushered in a rare calm.
Especially after the martial arts forces took power, under Zhao Ya's insistence, they took a lot of care of these low-level people.
Therefore, Yunxiao County and its surrounding areas soon became a rare pure land in this troubled era.
In this atmosphere of recuperation and kindness to the people, Yunxiao County and its surrounding areas have also become prosperous and lively.
Although it is not yet enough for everyone to be fed and clothed, at least the number of people dying of starvation has been greatly reduced.
There are no more poor people on the side of the road who look numb and sit still.
Zhao Ya's mood improved a lot.
Although his own strength is limited, with his own efforts, he has changed the ecology of at least one place.
Zhao Ya thinks that he is definitely not the Holy Mother, but since he has come to this world and has enough ability, it is only natural for him to help these low-level people and make them suffer less.
As he was moving forward, a figure suddenly appeared next to the official road in front of him.
Meng Shiwen carried a small burden and stood on the side of the road waiting.
Although the tulle is masked, the slender figure and beautiful eyes still attract many eyes.
However, when they saw the logo of the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall embroidered on her cuffs, many people converged their eyes in awe.
Now the prestige of the Dingtai Martial Arts Pavilion in Yunxiao County can be said to be in full swing, and the master Lu Dingtai is a strongman who has even slashed the two masters of the five realms in the capital, and his disciples are even a half-step five realms and a four realms.
Such a strength configuration can already go sideways in Yunxiao County.
But the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall is strictly disciplined, and the disciples never bully others, and this end of the cavalry rebellion is also the first step in the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall, so it has a good reputation.
Especially Zhao Ya, I don't know how many poor people have set up an immortal tablet for him, and he worships him every day.
Because these people have heard that the reason why the county takes a lot of care of them is because of this Zhao Shaoxia.
Therefore, when she saw that Meng Shiwen was a person from the Dingtai Martial Arts Hall, whether it was a passing merchant or a common person, she took the initiative to get out of the way and never stepped forward to disturb her.
And when Zhao Ya saw Meng Shiwen, he was stunned at first, then laughed, and then came to Meng Shiwen with a horse.
He didn't ask Meng Shiwen why she suddenly changed her mind, and why she came to wait outside the city.
He just said a simple word.
"Senior sister, get in the car!"
Naturally, Zui'er also saw Meng Shiwen, and couldn't help but lift the curtain with excitement.
"Senior sister, are you going with us too?"
"Well, go back and see." Meng Shiwen got into the carriage and tried her best to pretend to be calm, but her slightly trembling hands still betrayed her.
But Zhao Ya pretended not to know, and smiled slightly: "Sit tight!" β
Then, with a flick of the horse's whip, the carriage picked up speed and went down in the direction of the Elephant Dancing City.
