In fact, Zhaolong can roughly guess some "Tao'er, have you met any otherworldly masters?" That's all he can think of. To say that Zhang Tao is self-taught, created his own martial arts, and practiced to this level at such an age.
Even if you beat Zhaolong to death, you wouldn’t believe it. If you want to create your own martial arts, you must first be very skilled in martial arts and have an extremely thorough understanding of martial arts. Only then can you simplify the complex and find your own uniqueness in the laws of all things.
Your own routine.
To say that Zhang Tao lives in Taixiang Village, he is deaf and blind on weekdays because he works at sunrise and rests at sundown. Self-created martial arts are absolutely insulating to the villagers of Taixiang Village.
"Yes, but this matter must be kept secret. Even my parents cannot know about it, otherwise it will bring disaster to Taixiang Village." Zhang Tao did not say it clearly, but he knew that Zhaolong had traveled all over the world and naturally understood these rules.
Yes, I understand that it is normal for those who are highly cultivated outsiders to have some weird tempers. As long as they don't offend these masters, they will be fine.
"You can rest assured that I have never seen this matter. However, in this way, Taoer, your future development will be unlimited, and the hope of Taixiang Village has really come out." Zhaolong's eyes were slightly moist.
, back then he also wanted to bring prosperity to the village, but the fourth-level martial artist was really powerless.
After a night of silence, Zhang Tao had resumed action in the early morning. When the sun first appeared, Zhang Tao had fully recovered. In about ten hours, Zhang Tao was able to completely eliminate the side effects.
"Teacher Zhaolong, let's continue on our way. We don't have any horses anymore, and we've wasted a few taels of silver. If the situation hadn't been critical at that time, I really wanted to take advantage of them and take away some of the bandits' finances." Zhang Tao said with a smile.
Zhaolong rolled his eyes at Zhang Tao, "It's really not easy to escape from the danger. Are you still thinking about taking advantage of the situation? Okay, let's hurry up. Haoran Academy will probably enter a closed state in half a month, and we won't be able to get in by then."
Already."
The interlude of the bandits was finally over. The rest of the journey was almost uneventful. There were no bumps along the way. Finally, we arrived at Tianyue City!
Tianyue City is one of the main cities of Honghao Kingdom. Many noble ministers gather here. It can be said that this place is a muddy water with unpredictable depth. Generally, outsiders have to keep a low profile, otherwise they will not die.
Know.
There is a long queue in front of the huge city gate. There are also two passages, one is for carriages to drive in, and the other is the noble passage. The people walking through this passage are all high-ranking officials. They will not be searched, but will have a good time.
However, Zhang Tao is taking the civilian road. The inspection here is strict, and sometimes he will even be detained. This is also an area where unjust imprisonment often occurs. After all, you have no backing, and you can die in prison with just one charge.
middle.
Finally it was Zhang Tao and Zhaolong's turn. The four or five soldiers looked impatient and said, "Hurry up, don't delay, take out your things." The temperature has begun to rise slightly, which makes people feel irritable. Plus, seeing what happened next
Too many people waiting for inspection make people lose their patience.
"Sir, we are just ordinary people. This is a child from our village. We plan to bring him to Haoran Academy to study. He is not a suspicious person." Zhaolong, a familiar person, took out a piece of broken silver and handed it over carefully. "This is
I would like to thank you for your kindness, I hope you can drink some tea and relieve yourself from the heat." It is said that the king of hell is so easy to deal with, but these soldiers are the most troublesome. As long as you have a correct attitude and get through them, then there will be no big problem.
After weighing the broken silver, he seemed to be quite satisfied. Common people who worked hard usually took out copper coins and were too lazy to pick them up even when walking on the road. But the broken silver was different, at least it was enough for a good meal and drink.
Money is what makes the world go round. The soldier's face brightened slightly, "Well, come in, you are also good citizens. Haoran Academy is still accepting students, but you have to hurry up." He put the broken silver into his arms very naturally.
, this series of movements is definitely a habit, and it is so perfect. Just such a skill is the pinnacle. While carrying money, you can also look around, speak and give instructions, and perform three tasks. If it were placed in Dongyue Continent, it would be considered a masterpiece.
Top masters, it seems like guarding the city gate is hard work, but it is also a poor job.
"Yes, thank you, sir." Zhaolong pulled Zhang Tao through, and the person behind him was originally a package, but was checked back and forth many times. If you are not happy to meet these soldiers, and you are unhappy,
Just wait and go to jail.
"Tao'er, you have to remember from now on that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Although you are powerful, the water inside is very deep. Okay, let's find an inn to rest first, and then after lunch, we will
Just go to Haoran College and have a look." Zhaolong walked with Zhang Tao in a familiar manner.
"Teacher Zhaolong, have you been here before?" Zhang Tao looked at the crowds coming and going and the cries around him. He looked prosperous, which was indeed not comparable to that of a small mountain village.
"That's right. I'll take you to see a friend later. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can go to him and he can provide you with some simple help." Zhaolong said.
At this time, Zhang Tao and Zhaolong had officially entered Tianyue City. The ground was a neat bluestone floor. The road was wide enough to accommodate several carriages. There were some vendors around, buying and selling all kinds of things.
, there is a dazzling array of things to see, many of which Zhang Tao has never seen before, making him dazzled and unable to take his eyes off.
"This kid has never seen the world." Zhaolong smiled slightly, but felt a little sad in his heart. It seemed like village kids like them would never have the chance to see such a big city in their lives, and then they would die of old age in the village.
This has to be said to be a tragedy, but I hope Zhang Tao can change the future of Taixiang Village.
They found a noodle shop and the two of them ordered a bowl of ordinary plain noodles and started eating. They kept eating dry food and finally could eat some cooked food. Zhang Tao's speed finally came into play. After eating three bowls in a row, he was still unsatisfied. Some people around him were excited.
He showed contempt, but Zhang Tao felt at ease. This was also the result of the subtle influence of Jiutian Yishao.
"Have you heard? The Black Skeletons were exterminated. The people who took action were brutal and highly skilled. No one from the Black Skeletons and their leader, Xue Begonia, came out alive." At this time, the person eating noodles next to him whispered.
of discussion.
Zhang Tao's body was shaken, and Zhaolong's expression also changed: "Tao'er? Did you kill him?" But Zhaolong soon remembered that the robbers at the foot of the mountain were restrained by Zhang Tao and were not killed, but why was the black skeleton killed?
What about destruction?
Zhang Tao was also stunned, and then whispered, "No, I didn't kill him. It seems that someone took advantage after we left." In fact, Zhang Tao knew very well that there must be only one person who could do this so quickly!
That is his master Jiutian Yishao.
You must know that there are hundreds of bandits on the mountain. If ordinary people are killed with a knife, they will be killed until they are weak. If there are a large number of people, Zhang Tao will definitely not miss it, so Jiutian Yishao is the only answer.
Zhaolong also felt strange, and then another person said, "This matter has been spread all over the place. How could I not know that there is no living person on the mountain now. Rumor has it that someone saw a person wearing a white robe, who looked like a god."
When they come down to earth, these bandits who usually do all kinds of evil and are not afraid of heaven or earth have provoked some earth-shattering person, and they were actually wiped out by a single person."
"Hey... in short, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. Let's eat noodles, eat noodles."
"Master Young Master, you still took action." In fact, Zhang Tao knew that he had no mercy to kill the person, and his Master Master would do it for him. Sometimes, Zhang Tao would even complain in his heart, why he was so cruel, but Master Master Young Master would eradicate the root cause.
Zhang Tao could not refute the theory.
After lunch, Zhaolong took Zhang Tao to an escort agency: Changfeng Escort Agency! Compared with Zhongxin Street, there were a lot fewer people here. The few people bustling about were all ordinary people. The four characters on the plaque were "hot".
The paint has peeled off a lot and it looks a little dull.
"Come, come in." When Zhaolong saw this plaque, he had a nostalgic look on his face. This was just an ordinary small courtyard, not too big. There was a persimmon tree in the courtyard, and the surrounding houses were also somewhat dilapidated.
, the moss on the rockery in the middle has turned yellow, and the entire courtyard is bleak in the autumn wind, and the roots are ruined.
"Excuse me, who are you? Do you need a escort?" At this time, two people came out and saw Zhang Tao and Zhaolong. Although they could tell at a glance that these two people were not rich people, they could accept business as long as it was business.
Zhaolong turned around and looked around. The two escorts were both relatively young. It seemed that the Changfeng Escort Bureau had declined a lot in recent years. "I'm looking for escort chief Zheng." Zhaolong said.
"So you are looking for our chief escort, what is your name?"
"Zhaolong."
"Please wait a moment." At this time, an escort trotted into a room, and soon hearty laughter came from the room. "Is it brother Zhaolong? You and I haven't seen each other for several years. How are you doing lately?
Huh?" After a while, a strong man came out. This man had sharp eyes, a beard like a halberd, and looked like a hero. If you look closely, you can see that he has a lot of calluses on his right hand, which he obviously used frequently.
The weapons and temples are also slightly raised, indicating that he has good internal strength.
"Brother Zheng, long time no see. Big brother is still here." At this time, Zhaolong burst into tears. The two men hugged each other like this. Even the sixteen-year-old Zhang Tao could understand the strong brotherhood.
feel.
"Hahaha, good brother, let's go in and ask, who is this?" Chief Zheng asked when he saw Zhang Tao.
"Tao'er, I'm not called Uncle Zheng yet. In the past, he took great care of your teacher. This is Zhang Tao, the son of Brother Wanli, and the representative elected by our Taixiang Village this time." Zhaolong waved and said.
