Chapter 317 The great elder and others were shocked
Zhao Ya searched carefully along the Qujiang embankment, and finally found the crossbow arrow shot from a big tree by the river.
This place is more than forty steps away from the place where Zhao Ya and Wu Baoer fought.
Despite this, the crossbow arrow was still deeply inserted into the tree trunk, and Zhao Ya used force to pull it out.
Observing the arrow feathers carefully, Zhao Ya found that there were blood stains on them, and then he confirmed that his arrow did not miss, but hit Wu Baoer.
Unexpectedly, despite being injured one after another, Wu Baoer still ran away very tenaciously.
In fact, Zhao Ya had thought about going into the water to chase him, but he gave up the idea because he was worried about the grenade-like bomb in Wu Baoer's hand.
Because underwater is not as powerful as it is on shore, although the power of the bomb will be weakened, your movements will be restricted accordingly.
If you fail to dodge and get hurt again, it will be more of a loss than a gain.
Zhao Ya has always had a very clear position for himself, that is, he will never fight an uncertain battle.
Rather than taking that risk now, it is better to open the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian as soon as possible after returning, so that when you see this Witch Bao'er again next time, she will be unable to fly even if she has wings.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya put away his crossbow and returned to Qujiang City neatly. The package containing clothes and shoes had been shattered by the aftermath, so naturally he couldn't keep it.
But Zhao Ya still quietly approached the alley where he and Wu Baoer started fighting.
At this time, most of the walls on both sides of the alley have collapsed, and many people are coming in and out.
It can be seen that most of them are people from the Lord's Palace of Qujiang City.
Zhao Ya observed carefully and even visited the surrounding houses, but returned without success.
Zhao Ya was not disappointed.
Because he had already expected this result.
Wu Baoer came from a killer organization, and it was obviously extraordinary that this organization could cultivate or have a powerful killer like her.
Such organizations often have extremely strict rules.
Therefore, Zhao Ya could conclude that the people from this organization should have already withdrawn after the battle broke out between him and Wu Baoer in the city.
He just wanted to find some clues.
In the end, Zhao Ya still underestimated the meticulousness of these people.
But since they met this time, Zhao Ya knew that they would definitely meet again.
After picking up the dried fish he had ordered in advance from a shop selling dried fish, Zhao Ya hurriedly returned to the outer gate of Canglong Temple.
After handing the dried fish to Tian Yixin, he immediately went to see Qin Jianji.
"Oh? Did you meet a killer?" Qin Jianji looked solemn.
"That's right." Zhao Ya nodded.
"Tell me in detail the methods of the killers you met." Qin Jianji asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Ya naturally did not hide anything from Qin Jianji, so he recounted his encounter with Wu Baoer and the subsequent battle in detail.
After listening, Qin Jianji did not go into Wu Baoer's origins in detail, but asked with a look of astonishment.
"You said you've taken your pulse?"
Zhao Ya didn't hide anything anymore, nodded and said: "I just broke through in the past few days."
On the way back, Zhao Ya had already made careful calculations.
Although hiding one's true strength can give oneself a trump card.
But it will also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Especially after the fight with Wu Baoer, there was no point in trying to hide it anymore.
It would be better to admit it openly, which would further improve his status in Canglong Temple and make Xia Jiye and others who want to attack him take advantage of him.
Qin Jianji couldn't believe his ears.
"But why have I never heard you talk about who protected you? Elder Guo or Yun Shen?"
"No one protects me." Zhao Ya said honestly.
"How is this possible? Which two meridians did you open up?" Qin Jianji didn't believe it even more, and even thought Zhao Ya was lying.
"It's true that no one protects me. I followed Elder Guo's instructions and opened up the second line of Ren and Du first."
As he said this, Zhao Ya mobilized the true power of the Canglong to circulate in Ren Du's two veins, and his whole body immediately exuded an awe-inspiring power, vaguely like a Canglong dormant in his body.
This is a phenomenon that Zhao Ya discovered recently. After the meridians were opened with Swallowing Star's true power, Canglong's true power can actually flow through them unimpeded.
This also solved Zhao Ya's problem of hiding the secret of Swallowing Star's true power.
Qin Jianji was shocked, and finally confirmed that Zhao Ya was not lying, and what he said was actually true.
"Sure enough, it is the momentum after the opening of the Heaven and Earth Bridge, but how did you do it? There is no one to protect the law and no one to guide you. How did you manage to open up the Ren and Du two channels in such a short period of time?" Qin Jianji said repeatedly. asked.
Of course Zhao Ya would not say that he was refined one acupuncture point after another.
"Well, actually I don't know what happened. That day I was observing and meditating in front of the Canglong Picture on the cliff. I had a sudden feeling, and then I entered a mysterious state of concentration. When I woke up, Governor Ren The second meridians have been opened."
Zhao Ya started talking nonsense seriously.
Anyway, Qin Jianji and the others couldn't open their minds to see what was going on, so they would just make it up.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jianji actually believed it.
He thought for a long time and finally said with a solemn expression.
"To put it this way, you should be inspired by the will that has been condensed for thousands of years in the Cliff Cliff Canglong Diagram, and have reached a state of two into one, because only in this way can you explain why your Rendu and Du's two veins can be so easily The breakthrough was successful.”
"Oh? So that's it? There is such a mysterious will in the blue dragon on the cliff?" Zhao Ya continued to pretend to be stupid.
"Of course, the Blue Dragon Picture on the Cliff is the fundamental picture of our Canglong Temple. For thousands of years, countless amazing and talented people have stared at it and contemplated it. Over time, it will naturally condense an extremely strong will into it. You, too, are lucky. Well, you actually blended in with it by accident, this can be considered an opportunity for you."
Qin Jianji sighed and stood up immediately.
"Let's go back to the master's gate with me. This matter of yours is not a trivial matter. You must report it to the Great Elder and the others face to face."
"As for the killer..." Qin Jianji sneered.
"If I guess correctly, except for the group of snakes, scorpions and rats hiding in the darkness in the Farewell Building, there will be no one else who can use the weird methods you mentioned."
Farewell building.
Zhao Ya immediately remembered these three words and planned to go to the library to investigate.
Qin Jianji was obviously very concerned about what Zhao Ya said, and took him back to Canglong Temple.
He will tell the story after meeting the Great Elder Guan Xuejiang.
Guan Xuejiang couldn't help but be moved by it.
"Child, come here."
Guan Xuejiang called Zhao Ya forward, then held the pulse gate in his hand and tasted it carefully.
Zhao Ya was not panicked.
Because Guo Luming had done this before and found no clues.
In other words, as long as Zhao Ya thinks about it, even people with a higher level of strength than him will not be able to find any clues.
Zhao Ya just silently let Canglong's true power circulate in Ren Du's two veins.
After a moment, Guan Xuejiang let go of his hand and looked at Zhao Ya in surprise.
"It's true, the two meridians of Ren and Du are indeed connected."
Qin Jianji on the side breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, I was also very surprised at the time."
"Come here, go to the library and invite Elder Guo. By the way, there is also Elder Shen from the sect's contribution office. He told me that I have something very important." Guan Xuejiang ordered.
Under normal circumstances, Guo Luming never leaves the library.
But this time the situation is unusual.
So Guo Luming and Shen Yunshen arrived soon.
Repeating the process just now, Zhao Ya told his situation.
After confirming that it was true, Guo Luming and his junior brother Guan Xuejiang looked at each other.
Then Guo Luming laughed.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Guo Luming said three good words in a row, and his eyes on Zhao Ya were so hot that they almost melted.
When he first met Zhao Ya, he felt that this boy was very extraordinary and his future achievements would be limitless, but he did not expect that he would be so extraordinary.
What an opportunity it is to actually be able to blend in with the thousands of years of will contained in the picture of the blue dragon on the cliff.
Could it be that Canglong Temple will prosper again after more than twenty years of decline?
Shen Yunshen's focus is different.
He was naturally very happy, but his expression quickly turned gloomy.
"You said there is a killer chasing you?"
"Yes, Elder Qin concluded that he is probably from the Farewell Building."
"Hmph, don't worry about where the person is from. Since they are attacking you, it proves that someone is behind it."
Speaking of this, Shen Yunshen looked at Guan Xuejiang and said murderously.
"First Elder, thanks to Xiaoya's alertness and Farewell Building's carelessness this time, we were able to escape the disaster. If not, wouldn't the future of our Canglong Temple be ruined in the hands of Xia Jiye's gang of bastards?"
Although there is no substantial evidence to prove that the person who bribed the killer to assassinate Zhao Ya was Xia Jiye.
But everyone present was a human being, so it was easy to figure out what was going on.
"So what you mean is..." Guan Xuejiang naturally understood the meaning of Shen Yunshen's words.
"I didn't care what Xia Jiye did before, but now he actually dares to pay for murder, and the person he killed is an outstanding disciple in our temple. This has seriously violated my bottom line, so what I mean is, kill!"
When he said the last word, Shen Yunshen's face was full of cold and murderous intent.
Guan Xuejiang didn't say a word, but looked at Qin Jianji.
Qin Jianji understood this, and then stepped forward and said, "Yun Shen, I know your anger, but if you kill him now and Xia Jiye refuses to die, what will you do?"
"I know that with your strength, it is not difficult to kill him, but don't forget that there are a large number of people standing behind Xia Jiye. If you can't produce real evidence and kill them with conviction, Canglong Temple will definitely shake people's hearts. So what then?"
Shen Yunshen was a little irritated, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Should we just let Xia Jiye get away with it?"
At this moment, Zhao Ya, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"Elder Shen, I know you are doing it for my own good, but you don't have to be so anxious, because it is Xia Jiye who is anxious. I believe he will soon learn that I have entered the Kaimei channel. At that time, he only had two There are two ways to go, one is to surrender and the other is to fight to the end."
"Judging from Xia Jiye's current position, it's impossible for him to give in even if he wants to, so he can only continue to be tough. When he wants to take action again, that's when we take action."
The reason why Zhao Ya said this was because he didn't want to embarrass Shen Yunshen or Guan Xuejiang.
After all, he is the victim. What Qin Jianji said just now is already the limit. If he goes further, it will be a suspicion of generosity to others.
Therefore, only if Zhao Ya takes the initiative to persuade him, this will not appear abrupt.
Even Shen Yunshen's statement just now might have been staged for Zhao Ya.
But this kind of performance is not malicious, but gives Zhao Ya a channel to vent.
Even if Zhao Ya insists on killing Xia Jiye, Shen Yunshen may really do it.
Everything stems from the fact that Zhao Ya's current identity is completely different.
If Zhao Ya, who was in the fifth realm before, was just a talented disciple.
The importance of the disciple who has now successfully attained enlightenment and opened the meridians, and also integrated the will inherent in the Cliff Blue Dragon Diagram by "coincidence", can be imagined.
In order to appease him, it is not a big deal to kill an elder who has done evil. Even if it will cause endless trouble later, it is not unacceptable.
But Zhao Ya is not so "willful".
Because this kind of thing requires mutual understanding.
Through the investigation of Nandian Town, the execution of Yu Zhang, and the reconstruction of the outer sect, Zhao Ya has seen the ambition of the great elder Guan Xuejiang.
At this time, what is needed most is stability.
Because once conflicts are intensified in advance, the situation that was finally created will be destroyed.
Moreover, Zhao Ya believed that since he had made such a statement, the Great Elder and others would definitely give him some compensation.
really.
After listening to Zhao Ya's words, Guan Xuejiang's face relaxed, and then he nodded and said: "Xiao Ya is right, but this matter cannot be left alone."
"Xia Jiye won't touch him for the time being, but Farewell Tower actually dares to attack our disciples of Canglong Temple. It seems that these years of forbearance have made many people forget their respect, Yun Shen!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"You lead a team of people to clear out the Farewell Building. Firstly, you want to avenge Xiaoya. Secondly, you also want to warn Xia Jiye and others. Don't think that I have no temper. If you dare to play like this without a bottom line again, I will no longer have any scruples. The feeling of comrades-in-arms was gone." Guan Xuejiang said coldly.
"Yes!" Shen Yunshen perked up and finally felt the excitement he had not seen for a long time.
Over the years, it was precisely because he couldn't stand the arrogant behavior in Nan Cang Long that he drank to get drunk.
Now that I saw that the great elder was determined to cheer up and planned to operate on Farewell Building first, I was naturally very happy.
When Zhao Ya saw this, his heart moved, and he suddenly said: "Great Elder, can I also participate in this purge?"
"Oh? Are you participating too?" Guan Xuejiang glanced at Zhao Ya.
Zhao Ya nodded and said: "The person who asked me to assassinate him ran away. Now that I have the opportunity, I will naturally come back with revenge."
"That's fine, but you have to be careful, because the strength of this Farewell Building is quite impressive. Although you have entered the Kai meridians, you have only opened up the Ren and Du meridians after all, and have not yet opened up the substantial meridians, so your strength has not yet been truly Let's show it off." Guan Xuejiang warned carefully.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. I'm here to ensure that Xiaoya won't lose a single hair." Shen Yun said with a deep smile.
