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 file.”

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. Some 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 manual 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 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 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. Looks like this, aren’t you sad?”

Guo Luming was silent.

Because what Guan Xuejiang said was indeed the truth, although he closed himself in the library and did not go out, facing this increasingly declining situation, it was impossible to say that he was not sad.

"Master and uncle are gone now, and those who don't care about worldly affairs don't care about worldly affairs. You and I are the only ones who can take the responsibility, so I always want to do something to be worthy of the years of cultivation of the master." Guan Xuejiang said.

"Okay, I support you. If there is anything that needs my help, just ask." Guo Luming said very seriously.

Guan Xuejiang smiled, "That's not the case. After all, you, brother, are more like a stabilizing force for Canglong Temple now. With you here, those rebels and villains dare not act rashly."

"And I don't necessarily have to kill a lot of people to eliminate the accumulated problems. Everyone is very valuable to Canglong Temple now, so it's better to shed as little blood as possible."

Guan Xuejiang left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to take the jar of wine brewed by Guo Luming, and also said confidently that he would make a good plan for his master. He had to be rewarded for such hard work.

Guo Luming was so amused that he had to let him go.

After he left, Guo Luming went downstairs, and as soon as he came to the first floor, he saw Zhao Ya who was looking up information.

When he saw Guo Luming, Zhao Ya hurried to greet him.

"Elder Guo, I practiced the Little Arhat Fist you gave me a few times after I went back, and I can be considered to have some entry, but there are still a few things I don't understand, so I want to ask you for advice."

"Oh? Have you practiced so quickly? Don't be too ambitious and bite off more than you can chew." Guo Luming was also a little surprised.

Because I just gave him the boxing manual yesterday, and today he said that he had practiced it a little bit, even with the foundation of the Great Vajra Fist, it was a bit too fast.

"I understand, but there are a few questions that I don't quite understand, so I want to ask you."

"Okay, then ask."

So Zhao Ya told him the problems he encountered when practicing the Little Arhat Fist.

The more Guo Luming listened, the more surprised he was.

Because these problems really only occur after getting started.

In other words, in just one day, he had practiced the boxing to the entry level. This talent is really strong.

"The questions you mentioned may not be thought of by ordinary fifth realms. It seems that you are really different."

Guo Luming sighed, and then answered all the questions Zhao Ya asked.

After listening, Zhao Ya suddenly realized, and instantly felt that he had a deeper understanding of the Little Arhat Fist and even the Great Vajra Fist.

[Little Arhat Fist proficiency plus 1223]

As a line of prompts appeared, Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

This is the first time that the proficiency has increased to more than 1,000.

But then Zhao Ya was relieved again.

First of all, this Little Arhat Fist is a simplified version of the Great Vajra Fist, and it is easier to get started by yourself.

Secondly, the one who explained the boxing to him was the founder of the boxing method, and his realm was far higher than his own.

With these factors added up, it was not strange to gain more than a thousand proficiency points in one answer.

"Thank you, Elder Guo, I understand everything." Zhao Ya thanked him sincerely.

"It's good to understand. Tomorrow is the day of passing on the skills."

"Yes."

"The elder in charge of the power transmission hall should be Xia Jiye. His strength is okay, but his patience is a little lacking. He usually passes on the skills to you and is done. He is too lazy to answer other questions." Guo Luming said.

Zhao Ya smiled bitterly.

In fact, this perfunctory attitude is normal in a sect or martial arts hall.

There are not so many masters who work hard for their disciples to learn the skills.

Speaking of which, Zhao Ya is still lucky.

The first master he met, Meng Lei, was a responsible one.

When he went to Yunxiao County later, he met Lu Dingtai, who treated Zhao Ya as his own son.

But this is not the case for most martial artists.

Unless they are father and son, there is often more suspicion and caution between master and apprentice.

After arriving at a large sect like Canglong Temple, suspicion and caution are less, but laziness and perfunctoriness have become the mainstream.

After all, after you have learned, you have nothing to do with the elders who pass on the skills, so naturally no one is willing to go to the trouble of helping you grow.

"But I just happen to be free recently, if you have any questions, you can ask me." Guo Luming said.

Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he heard it, and when he raised his head and saw Guo Luming's smiling eyes, he was even more stunned.

This elder Guo first taught me boxing and gave me a boxing manual, and now he said that I can ask him anytime if I don't understand in the future.

You know, these things have nothing to do with him.

For this, Zhao Ya is really grateful.
