Chapter 285 Ambition, answers to questions
The room fell silent, and after a long time, Guo Luming sighed.
"There are all kinds of wonders in the world. Even if you have practiced martial arts to the level of you and me, it is impossible to see all the mysteries. Maybe there are some unknown places hidden in the fog of the Wuwu Sea."
Guan Xuejiang smiled bitterly and said: "I thought so too, so after I came back from Wuwanghai, I rushed back immediately, just to tell you the news as soon as possible."
"Tell me what?"
"Senior brother, not only are you far superior to me in strength, but also in knowledge, so I would like to ask you if you know the secret of this."
Guo Luming frowned and thought for a moment, then finally shook his head.
"Based on the files I have read, there is really no record about Wuwanghai. However, the files collected in our library are vast, and even I have only read one or two out of ten, so the rest I don’t know if it’s recorded in the dossier.”
Guan Xuejiang nodded, "Don't worry about this, we can slowly look for clues later. Have you seen the two children Jianji brought back?"
"I saw it. They came to the library yesterday."
"Oh? How do you feel?"
"The young master from the Gui family in Mohai City is average in talent. I guess his five realms were all acquired with resources. But the one named Zhao Ya is quite interesting."
"Oh? How do you say it?" Guan Xuejiang became interested.
He knew that his senior brother had a very high vision, and it was difficult for ordinary disciples to catch his eye.
And to be called interesting by him is already a very high praise.
"He has been studying boxing records since he came to the library yesterday. It lasted a whole day and night, and he didn't even hear about the departure of his companions."
"I couldn't help but feel a little interested when I saw this, so I tried it out, and found that this guy's boxing and kicking skills are quite good, especially the King Kong Fist. Although he learned it from Ye Luzi, he is very good at it. A bit of heat.”
"It's just that he also practiced another boxing technique, and the conflicting boxing principles made him unable to break through for a while. For this reason, I specially gave him a boxing book to let him adjust the conflicting boxing principles."
Guan Xuejiang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
He never expected that senior brother Guo Luming would value Zhao Ya so highly.
Not only did he test him, but he also gave him personal guidance. This was a great honor for the disciples of Canglong Temple.
"I've had someone check it out. The person who taught Zhao Ya the Great Vajra Boxing is named Lu Dingtai. He was indeed an outer disciple of Canglong Temple more than 20 years ago." Guan Xuejiang said.
Despite just a few casual words of encouragement in the main hall today, in fact, in private, Canglong Temple had already checked all Zhao Ya's details.
"Lu Dingtai?"
"Why, senior brother, do you know this person?" Guan Xuejiang asked.
Guo Luming pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head, "It seems that there is a little impression, but I can't remember exactly which one it is."
Guan Xuejiang didn't care either.
As an old man who has guarded the library for forty or fifty years, Guo Luming has seen too many disciples, many of whom are amazingly talented and beautiful.
In comparison, this Lu Dingtai was just an outer disciple at the beginning, so it was already pretty good for Guo Luming to have a little impression of him.
"It seems that Canglong Temple made the right move to recruit more outside disciples to expand its influence. Otherwise, how could it attract such outstanding talents?" Guan Xuejiang sighed.
Guo Luming remained silent because he knew there must be something in Guan Xuejiang's words.
As expected, Guan Xuejiang said to Guo Luming.
"Senior brother, I have a lot of emotions during this trip down the mountain. I see that all the major sects are working hard and making progress. In contrast, our Canglong Temple has been in seclusion since the rebellion and split, and has become lifeless and without vitality."
"You summed it up well." Guo Luming nodded in agreement.
Although he has been staying in the library and seems to be indifferent to worldly affairs, he is actually well aware of the changes that have taken place outside.
Canglong Temple has indeed become a lot more closed over the years.
"So I want to make some changes to prevent Canglong Temple, which has been passed down for thousands of years, from ending up in my hands." Guan Xuejiang said seriously.
"Okay, I support it." Guo Luming immediately agreed.
"But what are you going to do?"
"First of all, the first point is to carry forward the outer sect disciple system back then. Before I came back, I secretly visited the outer sect and found that it was in name only due to neglect. There were even some people with ulterior motives mixed in, and then they targeted us Canglong. The banner of the temple is evil and has extremely bad influence."
"So the first thing is to re-establish the outer sect system, and then to eliminate the accumulated shortcomings!"
Guo Luming was still nodding when he heard about the reconstruction of the outer gate, but when Guan Xuejiang said that he wanted to eliminate the accumulated shortcomings, he couldn't help but raise his eyes, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"You have to think clearly about clearing out the accumulated abuses. The split back then largely stemmed from this. Coupled with the development of more than 20 years, there are too many interests involved. You have to think clearly. It would probably be difficult to move.”
Guan Xuejiang chuckled lightly, "Of course I know it's difficult, but why don't you just do it? Senior brother, you and I both grew up in Canglong Temple. After a hundred years of vicissitudes, we saw that the once-prominent sect ended up like this. Looking like this, aren’t you sad?”
Guo Luming was silent.
Because what Guan Xuejiang said was indeed the truth. Although he kept himself closed in the library, facing this increasingly declining situation, it was impossible to say that he was not sad.
"Master and uncle, they are walking around now. They don't care about worldly affairs. You and I are the only ones who can take the lead. So I always want to do something to be worthy of the years of cultivation by my master." Guan Xuejiang said.
"Okay, I support you. If there is anything you need me to do, just ask." Guo Luming said seriously.
Guan Xuejiang smiled, "That's not the case. After all, senior brother, you are now more like a Dinghai Shenzhen to Canglong Temple. With you here, those rebellious and young people will not dare to make mistakes."
"And I don't necessarily have to kill everyone to eliminate the accumulated evil. Everyone is very precious to Canglong Temple today, so it is better to bleed as little as possible if possible."
Guan Xuejiang left.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to take the jar of wine brewed by Guo Luming with him, and he also plausibly said that he wanted to make a good plan for the sect. After all the hard work, he must be rewarded.
Guo Luming simply didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to let him go.
After he left, Guo Luming went downstairs. As soon as he arrived on the first floor, he saw Zhao Ya who was checking information.
After seeing Guo Luming, Zhao Ya hurriedly greeted him.
"Elder Guo, I have practiced the Little Arhat Boxing book you gave me a few times since I went back. I am somewhat familiar with it, but there are still some things I don't understand, so I would like to ask you for advice."
"Oh? Are you practicing so soon? Don't aim too high and bite off more than you can chew." Guo Luming was also a little surprised.
Because I just gave him the boxing manual yesterday, I said today that I have become somewhat basic in practicing it. Even if I have a foundation in Donkey Kong Boxing, this is a bit too fast.
"Disciple understands, but there are indeed a few questions that I don't understand, so I want to ask you."
"Okay, then you can ask."
So Zhao Ya told him one by one the problems he encountered while practicing Little Arhat Boxing.
The more Guo Luming listened, the more surprised he became.
Because these problems really have to be encountered after getting started.
In other words, in just one day, he had mastered the boxing skills. This talent is really powerful.
"These questions you mentioned may not be thought of by ordinary people in the Five Realms. It seems that you are indeed different from ordinary people."
Guo Luming sighed with emotion, and then answered all the questions asked by Zhao Ya.
After listening, Zhao Ya suddenly understood and instantly felt that he had a deeper understanding of the principles of Little Arhat Fist and even the Great Vajra Fist.
[Little Arhat Boxing proficiency increased by 1223]
As a line of prompts appeared, Zhao Ya was a little shocked.
This is the first time that the proficiency level has been increased to over one thousand.
But then Zhao Ya felt relieved again.
First of all, this Little Arhat Fist is a simplified version of the Great Vajra Fist, so it is easier to get started by yourself.
Secondly, the person he was explaining to himself was the founder of boxing, and at the same time, his realm was far beyond his own.
When these factors are added up, it is not surprising to gain more than a thousand proficiency points in one solution.
"Thank you, Elder Guo. The disciples all understand." Zhao Ya thanked him sincerely.
"As long as you understand, tomorrow is the day to pass on the skills."
"yes."
"The elder in charge of the Kung Fu Hall now should be Xia Jiye. This person is pretty good, but a little impatient. He usually just passes on the Kung Fu to you and that's it. He doesn't bother to answer other questions." Guo Luming said.
Zhao Ya smiled bitterly upon hearing this.
In sects or martial arts schools, this kind of perfunctory attitude is actually normal.
How can there be so many masters who work hard for their disciples to learn skills?
Speaking of which, Zhao Ya was quite lucky.
The first master I met, Meng Lei, was very responsible.
Lu Dingtai, whom he met later when he went to Yunxiao County, treated Zhao Ya as his own.
But this is not the case for most warriors.
Unless they are biological father and son, there is often more suspicion and wariness between master and disciple.
After arriving at a large sect like Canglong Temple, there was less suspicion and caution, but laziness and perfunctory became the mainstream.
After all, after you finish your studies, you won't have much to do with the elders who taught you the skills. Naturally, no one will bother to help you grow.
"But I just have a lot of free time recently. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me." Guo Luming said.
Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he heard this. When he raised his head and saw Guo Luming's smiling eyes, he was even more stunned.
Elder Guo first taught me his boxing skills and gave him a boxing manual. Now he even said that he could ask him at any time if he didn't understand something.
You must know that these things have nothing to do with him.
Zhao Ya was really grateful for this.
