Chapter 300: The New Year Is Coming, Free Wine and Free Meals

According to Guo Luming, opening up the meridians is a complicated and dangerous act. If you are not careful, you will hurt your roots.

This is because opening up the meridians must be successful at one time. If you fail in the middle of the process because of insufficient accumulated power, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but you will also lose most of the Dantian Zhenli you have accumulated with great difficulty.

It is very appropriate to describe the process of opening up the meridians as "once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back".

Therefore, when opening up the meridians, ordinary warriors will ask their masters or experienced people to help them grasp the situation and assist them to reduce risks.

And the larger the sect, the more so. Only those self-taught warriors will take the risk to try it themselves when they have no choice.

Zhao Ya naturally understood this truth, so he did not intend to open up the meridians himself. He just wanted to try it before, and he would stop if there was any obstacle.

But he never expected that the Star-Swallowing Zhenli actually broke through the first pass and refined the Zhongji acupoint.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Zhao Ya discovered an amazing situation.

That is, it seems that he doesn't need to accumulate enough power to open up the meridians like other people.

Because the Swallowing Star True Power stopped after breaking through the Zhongji Point, without any abnormality.

In this way, he can refine the acupoints along the meridians one by one, so that the risk is naturally greatly reduced.

According to this idea, he can refine all the acupoints in the body one by one, because this also means that the meridians around the body have been opened.

The so-called all meridians are open, that's it.

And at that point, coupled with the special gift of the Swallowing Star True Power to store true power in the acupoints, even Zhao Ya dare not imagine how powerful he will be at that time.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya's heart was burning.

The Yuanhai Realm is far away, but the Kaimai Realm is visible and tangible. As long as he can reach the peak of Kaimai, basically all problems will be solved.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya began to plan for future cultivation, but at this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

Who would come at this time?

Zhao Ya stood up and walked to the door. When he opened the gate, he saw that it was Gui Xuanqing standing in front of the door.

There was another person standing behind him, who was Gui Xuanqing's father, Gui Heshu.

Zhao Ya was also a little surprised when he saw that it was the father and son.

"Uncle Gui, why are you here?"

"Haha, isn't it the New Year? I just happened to be free, so I brought some things to see you two."

Gui Heshu spoke very well. With a sentence of "look at you two", he immediately brought the relationship closer.

Zhao Ya smiled and quickly let the father and son of the Gui family in.

After arriving in the house and sitting down, Gui Xuanqing looked at the futon on the ground and the simple furnishings in the house, and couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect that Xiaoya, at your age, can endure loneliness and hardship. It's really impressive."

"Hardship? I don't think so." Zhao Ya smiled.

"Haha, that's true. After all, without this perseverance and persistence, you can't become a fifth-level warrior at this age."

Then Gui Heshu chatted with Zhao Ya for a few more words, and then he said seriously: "I heard Qing'er say that you had a very unhappy quarrel with the elder who taught the skills in the temple?"

"Well, it's not very unhappy, just some conflicts." Zhao Ya said lightly.

Gui Heshu nodded, "Whether it's a conflict or unhappiness, it's not a trivial matter. It just so happens that I have some friendship with several elders of Canglong Temple. Otherwise, I will speak for you and let this matter be over?"

In fact, Gui Heshu didn't know the elders of Canglong Temple.

His idea was very simple. Since it was a conflict caused by interests, why didn't he pay a little more money to make up for it?

After all, Zhao Ya was young and had a good talent. He also joined Canglong Temple with his son. It would be too worthless if it was destroyed like this.

Seeing the sincere father and son of the Gui family, Zhao Ya was also quite moved.

In any case, it was a great favor for them to say so.

However, Zhao Ya still declined politely.

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Gui, but this matter is not necessary, because since the falling out, I have not thought about going to the Chuanwu Hall again. Instead of being targeted everywhere, it is better for me to learn by myself."

Gui Heshu was stunned when he heard it.

But seeing Zhao Ya's serious look, he didn't seem to be joking, so he nodded, "Okay, in this case, I won't force it."

After speaking, Gui Heshu stood up and said, "The New Year is approaching. I originally wanted to take Xuanqing and you back to Mohai City to celebrate the New Year, but the journey is too far. It takes several days to go back and forth. I really can't catch up, so I brought a lot of New Year's things. You two can celebrate the New Year together here."

As he said, his subordinates sent a lot of things, ranging from meat to candy.

Of course Zhao Ya would not refuse this time. After thanking him, Gui Heshu took his son and left temporarily.

After leaving the courtyard, Gui Heshu frowned and asked in a low voice: "Is this Zhao Ya always like this?"

"Well, except for being close to me, he rarely contacts other people and usually keeps to himself." Gui Xuanqing said.

"Then where does he usually go after he stops going to Chuanwu Hall?"

"To the library, and he stays there for a whole day."

"You really went to study on your own." Gui Heshu was somewhat speechless.

He thought Zhao Ya was just trying to fool him, but now it seems that he actually misunderstood him.

Even if the library of Canglong Temple is world-famous, can you learn anything by self-study?

Gui Heshu was skeptical about this.

But now that things have come to this, it is useless to say anything else, Gui Heshu told his son.

"Don't worry about what he does, just practice martial arts in the martial arts hall honestly, and don't miss any of the things you should give to the elders who pass on martial arts. If you don't have money, I will have someone send it to you. You should also have a good relationship with other disciples. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Gui Xuanqing nodded honestly.

"Also, don't be alienated from Zhao Ya. Everyone has their own ambitions, and you can't force it. But after all, you are both enshrined in Canglong Temple together, so it is only natural that you should take care of each other."

"Yes!"

Gui Heshu left.

He came and went in a hurry.

Because Mohai City is such a large industry, there are many things to do, and it is the end of the year, so you can imagine how busy it will be.

But even so, he still took time out and came to Canglong Temple from afar, just to see how his son is doing, which shows how much he values ​​Gui Xuanqing.

After watching Gui Heshu go away, Gui Xuanqing turned around and looked at Zhao Ya who came to see him off.

"Brother, it's only a few days before the New Year. What are you going to do?"

At this time, the martial arts hall had been closed for a long time. Gui Xuanqing had a lot of time. It was the first time to spend the New Year away from home, so he was naturally very excited.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya replied calmly: "What else can I do? Naturally, I will practice."

"Practice?" Gui Xuanqing was a little confused. Obviously, he didn't expect Zhao Ya to say that.

In his opinion, after a year of hard work, shouldn't he take this time to relax?

Especially now that he has a lot of supplies, he should have a good time, but Zhao Ya said he wanted to practice. Gui Xuanqing was really puzzled.

"Yes, there is almost no one in the library at this time. If you go there, it will be like renting the whole place. It is a good time to practice." Zhao Ya said.

"But the New Year is coming soon..."

"What's wrong with the New Year? Don't you need to practice during the New Year?"

At this point, Zhao Ya patted Gui Xuanqing on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You must remember that as a qualified warrior, you can't relax your requirements no matter when and where."

After saying this, Zhao Ya turned and left, leaving Gui Xuanqing standing alone in the cold wind thinking about life.

After returning home, Zhao Ya found paper and pen, thought about it for a while, and then started to write.

He wanted to write a boxing manual, similar to the Five Tiger Fist, but much better than the Five Tiger Fist, so that he could probably exchange some contribution points for the master.

Zhao Ya did not think about sending the ready-made secret book, but later gave up.

Because the level of those secret books is too low, even if the library accepts them, it is estimated that they will not be able to exchange for much contribution.

For example, this small five-way soul-chasing leg, according to Zhao Ya's own classification method, is at most a yellow-level upper grade.

Such a skill is okay in Dayan, but it is not good enough in Canglong Temple.

At the same time, writing a boxing manual is also a comprehensive review of oneself, which can better see one's shortcomings.

Well, that's it!

Two hours later...

Zhao Ya looked at the table full of waste paper in front of him, and his face showed difficulty.

He underestimated the difficulty of creating a boxing manual. For two hours, he wrote and revised and wrote again, but he still didn't have a satisfactory beginning.

This is harder than writing a novel!

Zhao Ya complained silently in his heart, and simply stood up and came to the yard.

At this time, it was already dark, and Zhao Ya remembered that he hadn't eaten yet.

I don't know what Gui Xuanqing is doing.

So Zhao Ya walked out of the house and knocked on the door of Gui Xuanqing's residence.

After a while, Gui Xuanqing opened the door with sweat all over his forehead.

"Hey, Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

"What are you doing?" Zhao Ya asked.

"I thought about it carefully. What you said today is absolutely right. I can't waste time like this anymore. I have to seize the time to practice and strive to make a difference, so as to bring honor to my father." Gui Xuanqing said very seriously.

"So you have been practicing at home since you came back?" Zhao Ya couldn't help laughing.

"That's right."

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, I forgot to eat."

"Let's go to my place for dinner. There are all kinds of New Year's goods sent by your father. I will cook a few dishes and we will drink." Zhao Ya said.

"Uh, but I still have to practice!" Gui Xuanqing said in surprise.

"There is no rush to practice at this moment. People always have to combine work and rest."

Gui Xuanqing thought about it carefully and felt that it really made sense.

The key is that after practicing for a long time, he was already starving, so he followed to Zhao Ya's home.

The New Year's goods sent by Gui Heshu were naturally valuable goods. Zhao Ya picked two fish from them and cut a large piece of meat from a mutant deer that was specially raised for food.

Then he began to cook swiftly.

In fact, Zhao Ya's cooking skills are very good.

But since Zui'er followed him, Zhao Ya rarely cooked himself.

Now Zui'er is far away in the capital of Dayan, and he is alone. If he wants to make two side dishes, he can only do it himself.

Gui Xuanqing took action from the side.

Seeing Zhao Ya's neat movements and the aroma of the food gradually spreading, Gui Xuanqing couldn't help but admire him secretly.

Senior Brother Zhao is really an all-rounder. Not only is his speech very reasonable, he is also very good at cooking.

After a while, the delicious dishes were served.

The wine was also sent by Gui Heshu. It was aged for twenty years. When the lid was opened, the rich aroma of the wine hit his nostrils.

Zhao Ya and Gui Xuanqing sat opposite each other, each poured a bowl of wine, and then Zhao Ya picked up the bowl.

"Come on, let's have a drink first."

As he spoke, he drank it all in one gulp.

Gui Xuanqing followed suit and raised his neck to drink.

"Eat vegetables!" Zhao Ya picked up the chopsticks and said.

I don’t know the type of fish, but the meat is extremely tender and smooth, and coupled with Zhao Ya’s craftsmanship, it’s an endless aftertaste when you put it in your mouth.

Gui Xuanqing couldn't stop after just one taste.

The two of them ate and drank while chatting about recent events, feeling rarely relaxed.

Especially for Zhao Ya, his recent high-intensity training, which seemed to be spinning continuously, made his nerves tense.

After finally having such an opportunity to relax, Zhao Ya naturally cherished it.

While the two were enjoying their meal, Zhao Ya suddenly felt something and turned to look outside the hospital.

"Senior brother, come and drink... what's wrong, senior brother?" Gui Xuanqing asked in surprise.

Zhao Ya did not answer, but stood up, cupped his hands and said, "May I ask if it's Elder Shen?"

A chuckle came from the distance, "What a good boy, I didn't hide anything from you. I'm quite capable."

Following the voice, a downcast middle-aged man appeared on the tree outside the wall.

The person who came was none other than Shen Yunshen, the elder of the division's contribution department, and he smiled.

"I could smell the aroma of wine coming from your courtyard even though I was far away, so I came to ask for a drink. It's not too rude."

Zhao Ya also smiled, "Elder Shen is too polite. You are a guest at night. How can you be rude? Please take a seat."

"Haha, if you come here, you are a guest, so I won't be polite."

As he spoke, Shen Yunshen ducked slightly and was at the table the next moment.

Gui Xuanqing naturally recognized Shen Yunshen and hurriedly stood up when he arrived.

Shen Yunshen waved his hand, "Don't be like that. Speaking of which, I'm here to have a drink and a meal, so don't be so polite."

At this time, Zhao Ya brought a stool, and Shen Yunshen was not polite and sat down directly.

Gui Xuanqing hurriedly poured wine.

Shen Yunshen picked up the bowl and smelled it, a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

"It's really rare for a good wine to be twenty years old and not adulterated at all."

After saying this, he took a slow sip as if reluctant to part with it.

Zhao Ya smiled slightly when he saw this, "Actually, I have benefited from Junior Brother Xuanqing, otherwise I wouldn't be able to drink such good wine."

"Come, Elder Shen, let me toast you."

It’s strange. When I first finished writing, I couldn’t find any typos. I had to wait a long time and look back to find out.
