Chapter 194 Dong Wang’s legacy, breaking through the realm
The carriage moved forward slowly on the official road.
This place is already forty or fifty miles away from Dancing Elephant City, but the sun has just risen above the head, which shows that they left early.
In fact, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Ya quietly left Wuxiang City with Zui'er and senior sister Meng Shiwen before dawn.
Nothing else.
The people of Wuxiang City are really too enthusiastic.
Because most people were saved because of Zhao Ya, these people were simply grateful to Zhao Ya.
Although Wuxiang City's vitality was severely damaged after experiencing this turmoil, Zhao Ya still received gifts from all parties every day.
Although it may only be a basket of eggs or a piece of bacon, it also expresses the feelings of these people.
Zhao Ya had no choice but to accept this, but when he left today, he quietly kept these gifts.
He didn't want to trouble these people anymore, so he chose to leave secretly.
At this moment, Zhao Ya looked back at the direction of Wuxiang City, feeling a little sad.
You know, Wuxiang City should be regarded as his second hometown in a sense.
But now there is no place worthy of nostalgia in this city.
After all, the master is dead, the escort agency is disbanded, and even the Song family has fled to another country.
But somehow, when leaving, Zhao Ya still felt a little sad.
Maybe, this is saying goodbye to my past.
Because he set off too early, after getting on the carriage, Zui'er fell asleep again.
Meng Shiwen didn't sleep.
She lifted the car curtain, came to the carriage shaft, and sat side by side with Zhao Ya.
"Unhappy?" Meng Shiwen asked.
She was very keenly aware that Zhao Ya's mood seemed to be a little low.
"No, I just feel that after leaving this time, I won't come back for a long time." Zhao Ya said softly.
Meng Shiwen looked at the depressed young man in front of her and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled.
"Why are you laughing?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.
"It's nothing, I just think you look very... very cute!" Meng Shiwen thought for a long time and finally came to such a conclusion.
Zhao Ya was a little bit dumbfounded.
What the hell is cute?
Meng Shiwen smiled and explained: "How should I put it? You used to always look like you were strategizing and wise. In that state, it was easy for people to ignore your age. Sometimes I even felt that you should be my senior brother. That’s right.”
"But your frowning, slightly sad look just now made you real. This is what a teenager under twenty years old should be like."
Zhao Ya blushed when he was told that.
If someone praised him for being smart, Zhao Ya could accept it, but this was his first time being praised for being cute, so Zhao Ya became shy for the first time.
But the more he behaved like this, the brighter the smile on Meng Shiwen's face became, and the brighter her eyes became.
It was like a little girl seeing a new toy.
"Senior sister, do you want a hug?" Meng Shiwen suddenly asked.
When Zhao Ya saw this, he couldn't help but feel narrow-minded, and then he smiled and said, "Okay."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
His original intention was to tease Meng Shiwen, but he never expected that when he stretched out his hand, Meng Shiwen did not refuse, but hugged him very naturally.
The striking softness and the woman's body fragrance made Zhao Ya freeze instantly.
Then Meng Shiwen said something very softly in Zhao Ya's ear.
"Feeling better?"
Zhao Ya quickly sat up straight, took a deep breath and said, "Well, it's much better."
In fact, Zhao Ya was just slightly sad just now, it was nothing serious at all.
But Meng Shiwen obviously took it seriously.
After this hug, both of them fell silent.
Until a moment later, the two people looked at each other and smiled.
The vague feeling of alienation that had always lingered between the two completely disappeared, replaced by a warm and tacit understanding.
"To be honest, when Hong Xu came to see you with Yang Sansi two days ago, I really thought you would kill them both," Meng Shiwen said.
"Am I that bloodthirsty?"
"At least not that tolerant." Meng Shiwen thought for a long time and made a conclusion.
"Actually, it's not that I'm intolerant. I'm just more clear-cut about the right and wrong of grudges than others. After all, you have to admit it when you do something wrong, and you have to stand upright when you're beaten. This is an unbreakable truth everywhere. As for Hong Xu and Then Yang Sansi..."
"It was the Hong family who killed my master, and the Yang family had nothing to do with it. As for the subsequent siege of the Song family, the Yang family did not gain much. In addition, he was old and was infected with a highly toxic poison. , he can’t live for more than a few days, so I’m too lazy to kill him.”
"Although Hong Xu is from the Hong family, he has never done any evil. His reputation in Wuxiang City was pretty good back then. This time he saw the opportunity quickly and kneeled down very thoroughly, so I will spare him once." A piece of cake."
After hearing what Zhao Ya said, Meng Shiwen nodded thoughtfully.
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Okay, senior sister, everything is over. We have to rush on our way, otherwise we won't be able to return to the county before the Chinese New Year."
As he spoke, Zhao Ya waved his whip, and the two horses pulling the cart quickened their pace and ran quickly towards the county town.
It was now the twelfth lunar month, and despite a winter without snow, the weather was surprisingly cold.
Especially in the wilderness at night, it can freeze people to death.
Fortunately, after this day of running around, Zhao Ya successfully found an abandoned earth temple.
Although the small temple is not big, it is enough to stay.
The hall was cleaned a little, and then a fire was lit.
The temperature of the flame quickly dissipated the cold air in the hall.
Even though he was in the wild, Zui'er still took out a pot as if by magic and simply processed the dry food he had brought with him.
After eating the hot meatloaf and taking two sips of hot wine, the whole person was instantly warmed up.
After eating, Zui'er and Meng Shiwen went to bed early.
After this bumpy journey, even Meng Shiwen, who was skilled in martial arts, felt a little tired, so she quickly fell asleep.
Zhao Ya moved the fire to the entrance of the main hall, and while watching the night, he took stock of what he had gained during this period.
When I was in Dancing Elephant City, I never had time to spare because I had too many things to do. Now that I finally have time, I naturally have to take stock.
He took out the bulging deerskin bag, and then took out the contents one by one, and soon they were all over the floor.
Some of these things come from Huo Tianxiao, Zhan Feng and other village owners in Qingzhu Ridge, as well as from the Golden Silkworm Gu Master, Ghost Snake Gu Master and other people from the World Refining Sect.
You can clearly see the difference after taking it out.
Most of what was found from Huo Tianxiao, Zhan Feng and others were cultivation resources such as golden ticket dried meat.
What they found from the Golden Silkworm Gu Master and others were basically bottles and jars.
No need to ask, most of them are filled with poison.
Zhao Ya came to the outside of the temple very cautiously, then found a place with leeward wind, opened the bottles one by one, and identified the type of poison inside and what effect it could have.
Nowadays, although Zhao Ya's attainments in the poison path are not to be said to be extraordinary, at least he can distinguish these poisons easily.
In particular, he has the talent of being invulnerable to all poisons, which gives Zhao Ya a huge advantage.
Soon, Zhao Ya identified these poisons one by one.
Most of them were highly poisonous things that could seal one's throat with blood, which also gave Zhao Ya a more intuitive understanding of the level of poison used by the Lianshi Sect.
That is that some aspects are amazing, but most of them are extremely mediocre.
Because it is different from ordinary people’s understanding of the poisonous path.
The more advanced the poison, the less toxic it is.
A truly advanced poison is often distinguished by its concealment and difficulty.
The so-called concealment, as the name suggests, is colorless and odorless, making it difficult to detect.
Otherwise, if you take out the poison and the smell can be smelled three miles away, who will take the bait easily?
As for the difficulty, it means that after being poisoned, it cannot be relieved easily. Some of them are even incurable, and even the fifth realm warriors are not immune.
This is the characteristic of advanced poisons.
As for these poisons that seal the throat when bleeding and act very quickly, they are not rated highly.
Because this kind of poison often only works on ordinary people or low-level warriors, it is difficult to be effective on warriors who have exceeded the fourth realm.
Coupled with the fact that too rapid an onset would result in too rapid exposure, these poisons were reduced to inferior status.
But there are also surprising poisons among them.
For example, the poison contained in one of the small green bottles is a brand new poison.
It is as virulent as the plague and is even contagious.
Zhao Ya understood that this should be the culprit that caused half of the people in Wuxiang City to die.
For this reason, Zhao Ya specially took out the candle, melted it, and then carefully sealed the entire bottle with wax oil, and put it in a separate small bag to completely eliminate the possibility of leakage.
Other than that, there are things found from Huo Tianxiao, Zhan Feng and others.
Zhao Ya also checked all these things carefully, but the results were a bit disappointing.
Because except for tens of thousands of taels of gold tickets and some dried meat from exotic animals, there was nothing surprising.
As for secrets and the like, I couldn't find any.
Zhao Ya sighed slightly and understood that this was actually the norm.
After all, when the cultivation level reaches a certain level, the martial arts has been basically fixed and formed. At this time, the secret book is no longer of much use, so few people will carry this thing with them.
As for the last time I obtained the Golden Body Secret from Maling, the leader of the Sixth Village of Qingzhuling, it was purely an accident!
Because Namaling had not received the Golden Body Art for a long time at that time and had not yet started practicing, he carried it with him.
Zhao Ya packed the golden tickets and dried meat into different categories, and then took out another small bag with great care.
What's inside is what was found on Fu Tingyuan's body.
Zhao Ya was full of expectations for this.
Because Fu Tingyuan should be regarded as the first half-step fifth-level warrior that he killed independently.
In addition, he is also the leader of the village in Qingzhuling.
Therefore, the things he can carry with him must be very precious.
But when the small package was opened, Zhao Ya was stunned.
Because apart from some golden tickets, the most eye-catching thing inside was a sachet.
This sachet was of average workmanship, but Fu Tingyuan carried it with him and kept it well, which shows how much he cherished it.
But Zhao Ya looked over the sachet several times, but found nothing.
Could it be that this is just an ordinary sachet?
Zhao Ya frowned, always feeling that things were not that simple.
Suddenly.
He thought of something, picked up the sachet, held it flat in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully in the light of the fire.
really.
Under the light of the fire, he found that the embroidery on the surface of the sachet seemed to be somewhat raised.
Zhao Ya immediately pulled out the dagger, carefully cut the thread, and disassembled it bit by bit.
When the embroidery on the sachet was completely opened, a piece of light gray paper was revealed inside.
When he opened it, Zhao Ya's eyes lit up.
Because this is actually a treasure map.
I saw a map drawn with delicate brushstrokes on it, and the location of the treasure was marked on it.
At the same time, there are four small words at the top of the picture.
"The Legacy of the Eastern King"
Dongwang?
Never heard that Dayan had a figure like Dong Wang?
Although I don't know why, since Fu Tingyuan hid it so carefully, it can be seen that this treasure map is by no means easy.
But after Zhao Ya observed it carefully, the doubts in his heart not only did not decrease, but became more.
Because the terrain depicted on this treasure map is very unfamiliar, at least it is something Zhao Ya has never seen before.
From this we can also conclude that what this treasure map records is definitely not the area around Wuxiang City.
So where exactly is it?
You must know that Dayan has a vast territory and countless mountains. If you don't know the exact location, you won't be able to find it even if you are exhausted.
No wonder Fu Tingyuan just kept this treasure map with him but never looked for it.
Presumably he was also blocked by this problem.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then he kept the treasure map close to his body.
Regardless, this is at least a gain.
As for the specific location, let’s wait and find it later.
After taking stock of the harvest, Zhao Ya started boxing again in the open space outside the temple, which was considered as today's homework.
After finishing practicing, Zhao Ya habitually opened the attribute panel.
Name: Zhao Ya. Age: 19 years old. Remaining life: 399 (+92 days) years
Skill: Eight Parts of Vajra Longevity Skill (64% to the peak)
Five Tiger Fist (return to nature 15%)
Wild Wind Knife Technique (return to nature 18%)
The body is as light as a swallow (return to nature 1%)
Breath Condensation Technique (peaked at 99%)
Big monument smasher (peaked 8%)
King Kong Fist (11% to the top)
Golden Body Technique (reaching the pinnacle 1%)
Xiaowu Road Soul Chasing Legs (Integration and Comprehension 112/2000)
[Lung unlock progress: 28%]
The body as light as a swallow has indeed reached the state of returning to nature, and at the same time, the remaining life span is only a hair away from breaking through the four hundred mark.
However, there is still some time left before the true marrow cleansing is successful and entering the fifth realm.
But this is not a matter of urgency. After all, it only took him half a step to advance to the fifth realm. If he could break through so easily, then the fifth realm would be too worthless.
Even Zhao Ya didn't want to break through so quickly, because he heard his master Lu Dingtai say that among those sects with a long tradition, the truly talented disciples often use the breakthrough guide when they break through the five realms.
The five realms that are broken through in this way will be more powerful than the ordinary five realms, and can even lay a solid foundation for future breakthroughs in opening the pulse.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but take out something from his arms.
There are two gray beads, one is slightly larger, and the other one is smaller, but there is a strange brilliance hidden in it.
This is what Zhao Ya obtained from the mandrill and the Japanese doll.
And this should be the best way to break through the situation.
But how to use this thing?
Since obtaining it, Zhao Ya has played with it more than once and even conducted several experiments, but all ended in vain.
Even if I asked the master, he didn’t know how to use it.
Could it be that we really have to go to those big sects to find the method?
Sorry, something was delayed today. There is only one update for the time being. I will make up for the third update tomorrow!
