Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 278

In an instant, the situation reversed.

Just now Zhao Ya was running in front and Xu Shuanzi was chasing after him, but now Xu Shuanzi was running in front.

Seeing that Zhao Ya was getting closer and closer, Xu Shuanzi couldn't help clenching his teeth, urging his lightness kung fu and body skills with all his strength, and rushed out of the city like an arrow off the string.

In the blink of an eye, the guards that Baihutang was chasing were left far behind.

But even so, Xu Suanzi still couldn't get rid of Zhao Ya after leaving the city.

Finally, after reaching a mountain forest, Xu Shuanzi suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhao Ya.

"My friend, what are you chasing me for?"

Zhao Ya also stopped, stood not far away and looked at Xu Shuanzi, then chuckled lightly and said, "It seems that you chased me first."

Xu Suanzi took a deep breath, "I saw you noticed my whereabouts at the time, and thought you were going to report to Baihutang, so I followed."

"How do you know that I noticed your whereabouts?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

"Because of your eyes." Xu Suanzi said.

Zhao Ya was speechless.

He didn't expect Xu Suanzi to be so alert. He just glanced at him and he noticed something strange.

It seems that none of these people begging for food on the tip of their knives is Yi Yi's generation.

"But now I already know that I misunderstood before, because with your lightness kung fu and body skills, you will never be a member of Baihutang."

Xu Shuanzi complimented overtly and secretly, and at the same time looked around, looking for an opportunity to escape.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya laughed, "Okay, you don't have to be so nervous, the reason I saw you in the inn was purely out of curiosity."

"After all, although you concealed it very well, your special walking habits still gave you away, because that is a habit that only people who are proficient in Qinggong and Shenfa can have."

"I'm chasing you now just because I want to ask you a few words, and I don't mean any harm to you."

Xu Shuanzi couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Zhao Ya's seemingly intentional or unintentional power made him tense all the time.

Although he didn't take action, Xu Suanzi could conclude based on intuition that this man with excellent light skills was also very strong.

Unless necessary, Xu Suanzi would never be an enemy of such a person.

So after hearing Zhao Yayan say that he had no malice, Xu Suanzi was slightly relieved and asked.

"what do you wish to ask?"

"I just arrived in this land of alienation today, so I want to know what's going on here." Zhao Ya asked.

People like Xu Suanzi must be well-informed, otherwise they will get into big trouble if they go out and steal from someone they shouldn't.

Asking him about this kind of thing is definitely not wrong.

After hearing Zhao Ya's words, Xu Suanzi was taken aback for a moment, then looked up and down suspiciously at Zhao Ya, and finally said.

"When you first arrived in Huawai, you also came to participate in the founding ceremony of the Thirteen Schools of Huawai?"

The opening ceremony?
A trace of doubt rose in Zhao Ya's heart.

And Xu Shuanzi also keenly grasped this point, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "Is this right? With your strength, some of the weaker true disciples in the thirteen schools of Huawai are not your opponents. How can you still fight?" Maybe to participate in this mountain opening ceremony, it should be directly recommended to enter the mountain."

"So what exactly is this mountain opening ceremony?" Zhao Ya asked.

"To put it bluntly, it is the disciple recruitment conference held every three years by the Thirteen Huawai Sects and the major sects. At this time, warriors from the Huawai Land and even the surrounding areas will come, hoping to become the disciples of their choice. The sect has made greater progress in martial arts."

Only then did Zhao Ya suddenly realize.

"So how are the sect forces in Huawai Land divided now?"

"Brother, it seems that you don't know anything. Don't you have any friends or relatives in this land?" Xu Suanzi was a little surprised.

Zhao Ya shook his head, "No, I came here alone, without any source of information."

Xu Suanzi gave a thumbs up, "Excellent, let me tell you about it."

"First of all, the first tier naturally belongs to the Thirteen Sects of Huawai. These are large sects with long heritage and strong strength. They are also the most top-notch sects in the land of Huawai."

"Secondly, some major sects that are slightly weaker than the Thirteen Huawai Sects, such as Qinglian Gang, Qianlongfang, etc., are all big sects that have gained fame in recent years, and some of them are even inferior to the Thirteen Huawai Sects in terms of strength weak."

"Next are some medium-sized sects. Although these sects are inferior in overall strength, they are the largest in number. For example, the White Tiger Hall, Xishan Mansion, etc. are all medium-sized sects."

"In the end, there are some small sects that are not well-known, and some even have no more than a dozen people in the whole sect. But don't underestimate these small sects, because there are also extremely powerful ones among them."

After confirming that Zhao Ya had no malice towards him, Xu Shuanzi also felt relieved, and introduced the Zongmen from the Land of Transfiguration carefully.

After listening to it, Zhao Ya finally had a general impression of the power composition of the Land of Huawai.

Then he asked the most crucial question.

"How does Canglong Temple rank among the thirteen Huawai sects?"

"Sangryu Temple?"

After hearing this name, Xu Suanzi gave Zhao Ya a strange look.

"Friend, after talking for a long time, do you have an old relationship with Canglong Temple or plan to worship Canglong Temple?"

"It's nothing, just asking out of curiosity." Zhao Ya said.

"Then I have to advise you a few words. If you are old, forget it. If you plan to become a teacher, it's better not to choose Canglong Temple."

"Why?"

"Because Canglong Temple is now in name only."

This sentence was like a shock, and Zhao Ya's complexion couldn't help but change.

"What's going on? Doesn't Canglong Temple belong to the Thirteen Huawai Sects? How could it exist in name only?"

"It's true that it belongs to the Thirteen Schools of Huawai, but you can't stand the internal division of Canglong Temple."

Speaking of this, Xu Suanzi sighed, "About 20 years ago, Canglong Temple gave birth to a peerless fierce man, who just turned 30 years old, not to mention opening the meridians, and opened up most of the meridians in his body. No one before."

"At that time, Canglong Temple was in the limelight, but I didn't expect that the situation suddenly changed. I don't know what happened. This peerless fierce man suddenly betrayed Canglong Temple."

"Subsequently, a battle broke out inside the Canglong Temple, and finally split into two sects, the North and the South, which is now the Southern Canglong and the Northern Canglong."

"Although in terms of strength alone it is still very good, but because of this split, the inheritance of Canglong Temple is not complete. Coupled with various other reasons, Canglong Temple has fallen into a slump, and it is now the tail of the thirteen sects of Huawai. Even during the opening ceremony, some warriors would rather choose Qianlongfang of Qinglian Gang than worship Canglong Temple."

"In the long run, without the fresh blood supply, the situation of Canglong Temple will become more and more unbearable. That's why I sincerely advise you, if you don't really have no other choice, it's better not to worship Canglong Temple."

Zhao Ya fell silent after listening.

He never imagined that the Canglong Temple, which his master Lu Dingtai missed so much, would be reduced to this point.

"Thank you for letting me know." A moment later, Zhao Ya thanked Xu Shuanzi.

Xu Suanzi smiled, "You're welcome, these things are actually not secrets, and those who are interested will find out after a little investigation."

"Then may I ask where the founding ceremony will be held?"

"After leaving White Tiger City, go west all the way. There is a mountain called Yulong Peak about [-] miles away. This time, the opening ceremony of the mountain will be held in Yulong City under Yulong Peak. But if you want to go, you have to hurry up, because the mountain will be opened the day after tomorrow at the latest. The ceremony is coming to an end."

"Okay, thank you!"

"Farewell!"

Xu Suanzi cupped his hands, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Zhao Ya stood silently on the spot for a moment, then turned back to White Tiger City.

It was only after he entered the city that he realized that there were significantly more soldiers patrolling the streets.

Not only that, warriors can be seen in many key positions.

It can be seen that the chase just now has alarmed the Baihutang.

However, this seemingly tight defense could not trouble Zhao Ya at all.

With the help of the spirit turtle hibernation technique, Zhao Ya easily broke through the layers of defense and returned to the inn.

When he was booking a room, Zhao Ya specially booked a house with a window facing the street, so he didn't disturb other people at all and returned to the room through the window.

After returning to the room, Zhao Ya glanced briefly and saw the secret marks left on the door and the ground. He felt relieved knowing that no one had been here during this period.

What happened today also reminded Zhao Ya.

In terms of agility, almost no one in Dayan could catch up with him before, but a thief he met on the first day of coming to the Land of Transformation was able to compete with him in lightness kung fu and agility.

It can be seen that this place of Huawai is indeed worthy of its reputation. In terms of martial arts level, it is far from what Dayan can compare with.

You must not be arrogant, everything should be low-key and cautious.

Just like that, Zhao Ya sat cross-legged in meditation all night, listening to the footsteps of patrolling soldiers on the street outside.

The next morning, I checked out of the room, left White Tiger City, and headed west to Jade Dragon City.

For ordinary people in this era, eight hundred miles is simply a natural moat, but for Zhao Ya, it is only a few hours of full-strength running.

It may take some time to identify the way at the beginning, but the further you go, the easier it is.

Because the number of pedestrians on the road has increased significantly, and these pedestrians are basically warriors.

These warriors gathered in groups of three or four, all heading in one direction.

Zhao Ya knew that these people should all go to Jade Dragon City to participate in the mountain opening ceremony.

So as long as you keep walking in the direction these people are walking, you will definitely find Jade Dragon City.

Because of time constraints, Zhao Ya didn't care about the day and night, and directly used lightness kung fu and body skills, and ran along the forest beside the road.

Because of Zhao Ya's extremely fast movement, most warriors didn't notice it at all.

But there are also some warriors who seem to feel it.

On the road three hundred miles away from Jade Dragon City, a group of people was walking slowly.

Leading the way were a few tall horses with round horns on their heads. They were domesticated wildebeests at a glance.

This kind of wildebeest runs fast and has strong endurance. The only disadvantage is that it is expensive, which is not affordable by ordinary people.

At this time, a handsome young man sat on top of a wildebeest.

This man was only in his twenties, with red lips and white teeth, and an excellent appearance.

But if you observe carefully, you will find that this man has an intimidating power in his gestures, and he is actually a warrior of the five realms.

So when Zhao Ya flew past the mountain forest beside the road at an extremely fast speed, most people didn't notice it, but this man turned his head suddenly and looked over with doubts on his face.

But he only saw a few trembling branches, and found nothing else.

The man urged the horse to the wildebeest in the center and said in a deep voice: "Father, have you seen it?"

The man in the middle is about 40 years old, and he also has an excellent temperament, especially between Gu Pan, who has a bit of a heroic temperament.

He nodded when he heard the words, "Of course I saw it."

"This person's stature is really amazing." The young man sighed.

"Hehe, Qing'er, now you know how many heroes there are in the world, so even you can't be proud!"

"Yes, Father!"

"Hurry up, this opening ceremony has attracted heroes from all over the world. Even if you can't join the Thirteen Schools of Huawai, it's good to see it!"

Just as these people were urging their horses to move, Zhao Ya had already arrived in front of Jade Dragon Peak.

This mountain is not high, but it is beautiful. There is a city under the mountain, named Yulong City.

When Zhao Ya came to the gate of the city, he saw that the passers-by were like crucian carp crossing the river, and most of them were warriors.

Most of them are in the third and fourth realms, but there are also many fighters in the fifth realm.

These people spoke all kinds of dialects, crowded into the city like a vegetable market.

There will inevitably be friction during the whole process, but the tempers of these warriors who used to be arrogant in the past have all improved.

No one cares about these, people only have one idea, that is to squeeze into the city and find a way to worship their favorite sect.

And if he dared to fight in the process, let alone wasting time, he was very likely to be expelled from the city, thus losing his hard-won qualifications.

So no matter how big the enmity is, we have to wait until the opening ceremony is over.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ya always had a feeling of deja vu.

The appearance of thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge is really like the college entrance examination for later generations.

Although the flow of people was crowded, with Zhao Ya's strength, he got into the city easily through the gap.

After entering the city, there is nothing else on the streets, but all kinds of pretense.

"Xishan Mansion, second only to the thirteen sects of Huawai, has generous benefits. Once hired, you can enjoy the resources that other sects' true disciples have. It is your best choice."

"Jade Dragon Temple is a top-level sect with a long tradition and vigorous vitality. The temple master is young and powerful, and half of the 36 major meridians in the body have been opened. If there are any candidates, they will be personally guided by the temple master based on their performance."
