Chapter 161 Farewell

Chapter 161 Farewell

"The last question is much simpler, and it can't even be considered a question, so, Wei You, serve the tea."

The old man sat on the chair. Zhao Yushu knelt on the ground politely to receive the tea and handed it to him respectfully: "Disciple Zhao Yushu, please have some tea, Master."

The old man took the tea and took a sip. "I will personally inform Dongdu later that you will be a formal disciple of Tianji Pavilion, ranked sixth. You can use this name to travel the world in the future without any worries."

I understand. If a big boss endorses something, people in the world will give him some respect.

"The last question is to ask you a few questions. Please answer truthfully. Don't worry, it will not involve your privacy."

"clear."

The old man nodded: "Besides the boss's mission, what else are you going to do in Jiangning?"

"Kill Wang Shaolin."

"Why?"

"More than 10,000 lives were lost. His death is not a pity."

"What is the law?"

"Killing for life is a matter of course."

"There is no law to rely on?"

Zhao Yushu lowered his head, speechless.

"If all the monks killed people at will based on their own momentary preferences, what do you think would happen to the world?"

“The world is in chaos.”

"What good will it do to the people if the world is in chaos?"

Zhao Yushu raised his head and said, "If Wang Shaolin doesn't die, what good will it do to the people?"

The old man was speechless.

After a long silence, the old man spoke again: "Jiangning is the number one city in the southeast, and there are as many monks as in the two capitals. If I don't take action, it will be difficult for you to kill Wang Shaolin."

“But you can’t do it.”

"At least I can't kill Wang Shaolin. Even if everyone says I'm crazy, there are always things in this world that I have to worry about."

"Disciple understands. What is the third thing?"

"Originally it was supposed to be a sword manual, mid-level earth rank, enough for you to use until you reach the Great Perfection of the Exterior Scene, but I changed my mind."

Zhao Yushu understood what the old man meant. He decided to use the two questions to temper his temper first. If it worked, it would naturally get better. If it didn't, it would also greatly improve his strength. Including the sword manual, all of it was for the purpose of not easily losing his life in Jiangning. But why did he change his mind now?

A black iron plate was thrown over and Zhao Yushu stretched out his hand to catch it. There was only a ferocious ghost head on the iron plate, and it felt cold to the touch.

"This is?"

"As far as I know, this is the last Ghost King Order in Beimang Mountain. When you return to Dongdu, you can go to Beimang Mountain to take a look. Maybe you can find something there."

"Shouldn't you give me the sword manual first, and then give me this when I return to Dongdu?"

"Give you some thoughts in advance, so that you will have something to worry about when you do things. Don't be too impulsive, Wei You."

Wei You stepped forward and handed over a small cloth bag.

"Your weapons are too eye-catching when they keep changing. Keep this storage bag." The old man waved his hand, indicating that Zhao Yushu could leave.

"Are you really not going to give me that sword manual?"

"roll!"

Finally, the secret book and banknotes no longer had to be hidden close to the body. During the last battle at the granary, if the location where they were hidden had not been tricky, they would have probably been burned in a fire. Zhao Yushu tied the storage bag carefully around his waist, feeling very satisfied.

After Zhao Yushu left, Wei You poured himself another cup of tea: "The underworld that Senior Brother mentioned, there is news recently that the man on Jiufeng Mountain is suspected to have arrived in Jiangning."

"understood."

"What about the sword manual?"

"Both of his weapons are short weapons, so that sword manual is not suitable for them. When we get to Dongdu, you can get him a book on finger techniques instead."

Wei You smiled and said, "You still think he has something to do with the Jade Rat."

"There must be a connection. When he stabbed me that day, even though the sword transformed from spiritual power was his own creation, the initial move was definitely the Cloud-Exploring Hand."

"That's very strange. We have been investigating for such a long time, but Junior Brother just appeared out of thin air, while Jade Rat disappeared out of thin air. The palace determined that Jade Rat could not survive, but no body was found."

The old man took a sip of tea and said, "But you and the boss both clearly stated that he is not a jade rat."

Wei You shook his head: "Absolutely not. Even if he disguises himself, I have checked all the files of Jade Rat. Something in his bones cannot be changed in a few months."

"Forget it. No matter who he was before, I drank the tea he offered me. From now on, he will be the Sixth Master Zhao Yushu of Tianji Pavilion, and he can only be Zhao Yushu."

"The student union will write this sentence to Dongdu."

Zhao Yushu sat in the cabin playing with the black iron plate in his hand. It was called iron, but according to legend, the Beimangshan lineage had been extinct for at least a hundred years. Apart from feeling like iron, the plate did not show any signs of time. This alone was enough to make it a treasure.

There is no text on the entire iron plate, only a relief of a ferocious ghost head. No one knows what it means or how to use it.

Maybe one day I can go to Beimang Mountain, hold up the iron plate and shout "Tiga!" and that will be enough.

The test was successfully completed. With nearly half the time left to reach Jiangning, the boat had already merged into the river. It was like the auxiliary road had entered the National Day highway, with thousands of sails racing on the river.

The rest of the days passed without any incident, except that there was one more person in the air force squad.

The old man did not give any more instructions on martial arts, and Wei You did not mention anything else except occasionally chatting with him about his travel experiences.

This was one of his rare relaxing moments.

"We will arrive in Jiangning tomorrow." In the evening, on the deck, three people were guarding three empty bamboo baskets. The old man had gone somewhere. Wei You put away the fishing rod and said, "I have something to tell you."

Zhao Yushu turned his head and listened attentively.

"I received a letter from Dongdu two days ago saying that the abbot of Dabei Temple suddenly came to Dongdu. Teacher originally wanted to take care of him in Jiangning, but now he has to go back to Dongdu."

Zhao Yushu suddenly felt a bad sense of familiarity. When he was about to do something big, his back was tripped up by something. It sounded so familiar.

"What does the abbot of Dabei Temple going to Dongdu have to do with you? He is not going to the academy."

Wei You sighed, "The last time the abbot of Dabei Temple left the temple was 20 years ago. Although there is no clear evidence, the royal family experienced a major upheaval. The current emperor took advantage of the chaos to ascend to the throne at that time. If he really went to the academy, it would be fine."

"So, teacher wants to keep an eye on him? No, why would this old monk meddle in the affairs of the royal family when he has nothing better to do?"

"Longhu Mountain, Dabei Temple, and even Shu Mountain and Kunlun have a history of at least a thousand years. The strength of one generation cannot determine the rise and fall of a sect. The academy is strong, but only for the time being. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand what the point of this dispute is."

"Then don't even think about it. Just go to Jiangning and do your business. Just be safe."

"When will you leave?"

"Now."

Wei You stood up, touched A Yao's head, and handed him a bamboo whistle from his arms: "Blow it when you encounter danger. This kid can hear it no matter where he is."

A Yao took the whistle and hung it around his neck solemnly.

After Wei You left, Zhao Yushu went to the Tianzi room and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

This old man didn't even say hello to his lovely little apprentice before leaving.

On the last night, Zhao Yushu felt lost. The passenger ship entered the water gate in the morning light and slowly docked at the pier. Jiangning, the first city in the southeast, quietly took Zhao Yushu into its belly.
