Chapter 157: Retreat and practice hard, break through the Five Tiger Fist!
Looking at these data, Zhao Ya fell into deep thought.
In addition to the breakthrough of Guangfeng Sword Technique, which is returning to nature, Wuhu Fist and Light as a Swallow are both on the verge of breakthrough.
Furthermore, only 6% of the kidneys are left to be unlocked.
And after the kidneys are unlocked, even if all the five internal organs are successfully unlocked, I don’t know what changes will happen by then.
Nowadays, the situation in the city is unpredictable. Master Lu Dingtai is unconscious, and Wei Hongbin, Yuan Chenfeng and others are watching eagerly.
Zhao Ya understood that in order to survive this crisis safely, the only way to improve his own strength was to improve his strength.
He exhaled slowly, already making a decision in his heart.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ya called his senior brother Shen Dao, senior sister Meng Shiwen and others and informed everyone of his thoughts.
"You want to use all the dried meat stored in the martial arts hall for training?" Shen Dao was very surprised when he heard this.
"Yes." Zhao Ya nodded,
"These dried meats are shared by all the disciples in the martial arts school, so I would like to ask for your opinion. If you don't agree, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
Zhao Ya said it very calmly.
Meng Shiwen, Shen Dao and others looked at each other, and then Shen Dao said with a smile.
"Junior brother, what you said is obvious. We are brothers, so why would we care about this mere jerky? You just need to know."
Shen Dao's face turned solemn, "You need to practice step by step, one step at a time in order to practice solidly. If you are greedy for speed and even try to take shortcuts, it will only be counterproductive. It is only a small thing to waste some dried meat. If it hurts the foundation, it will be ruined. If it affects your martial arts future, it will be troublesome."
Miao Shaocheng on the side also said: "Yes, junior brother, I know you are worried about the current situation and want to become stronger quickly, but this kind of thing cannot be solved in a hurry."
Meng Shiwen did not speak, but quietly looked at the young man in front of her with a back as straight as a sword.
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "The two senior brothers are absolutely right. I understand these truths very well, but since I said this, I naturally have my own reasons, and I will not make fun of my future in martial arts."
After hearing what Zhao Ya said, several people felt relieved.
They all knew that Zhao Ya was steady in his work and was by no means the kind of person who would do impulsive things in a hurry, so they all nodded in agreement.
Not only that, Shen Dao and Xu De both said that they still had some dried meat on hand and gave it to Zhao Ya.
In this way, all the dried meat stocks in the entire Dingtai Martial Arts Hall, including the additional funding from Shen Dao and others, were all in the hands of Zhao Ya.
Most of them are the commonly used seven-star blood dried eel, as well as a small amount of higher-grade dried meat and a few Vajra Dali Pills.
Zhao Ya was not polite, and took these things back to the small courtyard where he lived, and then told Zui'er that he would practice martial arts behind closed doors. Unless there was something important in the martial arts hall or the master woke up, nothing should disturb him.
Zui'er naturally agreed.
Zhao Ya cleared out a spacious room, leaving only a futon for temporary rest. Then he closed the door, took out the eggs laid by the female worm, and did not eat them one by one. Relying on his incredible gastrointestinal talent, he took out a handful and put it in his mouth.
Since feeding the black wasp eggs to the female worm, the quality of the eggs laid by the female worm has been greatly improved compared to before.
As soon as the eggs were removed, the pure and surging Qi and blood quickly filled the whole body.
Zhao Ya immediately started practicing.
When the energy and blood of these insect eggs were absorbed and consumed, Zhao Ya put all the remaining eggs into his mouth and also ate two dried seven-star blood eels.
From practicing to now, this is the first time that Zhao Ya has practiced in such an almost luxurious way.
The dried meat sticks were swallowed one after another as if they were free of charge.
Zhao Ya's intestines and stomach are like a bottomless pit. The two talents of Shuigu Jingwei and Shengqing Jingwei work together. The spleen and stomach turn into a meat grinder, squeezing out every trace of Qi and blood contained in the dried meat and supplementing it as nutrition for the body.
Except for going to the toilet to excrete the impurities and waste residue of the dried meat, Zhao Ya did not go out at all. He seemed to be crazy and kept practicing martial arts.
In the past, Zhao Ya had to accurately calculate the amount of Qi and blood to practice Qigong to avoid wasting it.
But now all this is gone.
Zhao Ya only has one goal left, which is to become stronger, and to become stronger as soon as possible.
In order to achieve this goal, some waste is allowed, and everything must make way for efficiency.
In this way, with the massive supply of Qi and blood, Zhao Ya's strength in all aspects is also rapidly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
During this period, Shen Dao, Miao Shaocheng, Xu De, Meng Shiwen and others all came to visit, but when they heard the sound of Zhao Ya practicing martial arts from inside through the door, they did not come in to disturb them.
He left quietly.
Zhao Ya didn't know anything about all this. At this time, he was completely immersed in the ocean of martial arts and turned a deaf ear to everything outside.
Time passes day by day.
The situation in the city has become increasingly tense.
The friction between the cavalry entering the city and the warriors in the county became more and more intense. Although a sensible captain like Sun Yingkui tried his best to mediate, after all, there were very few people like him.
Therefore, the contradiction between the two sides has become increasingly acute.
Not only that, as time passed into the city and after they established a foothold, the ruffian character of these cavalrymen gradually became apparent.
Blackmailing shops and extorting money is just a piece of cake, and even worse, they even directly rob men and dominate women.
For a time, the people in the whole city were complaining.
But I wanted to run but there was no place to run. After all, the beast tide had just subsided and the trade routes had not yet been restored, so I could only endure it with humiliation.
But ordinary people can endure it, but these merchants and wealthy families in the city can't bear it anymore.
After all, compared to ordinary people who have little luck, in the eyes of these cavalry, these wealthy families are just fat sheep.
There is no need to mention those who come to your door to fight against the autumn wind in various pretexts, asking for money or things.
Some cavalrymen even lived directly in the homes of these wealthy families, and would directly ask for any female family members they liked.
These wealthy families dare not deny it.
After all, the villagers they have to guard the courtyard are not enough to fill the gap in the teeth of these cavalry.
For a time, these wealthy families were in bad luck.
Some of them were somewhat bloody and tried to resist.
As a result, after being defeated, not only the family property was confiscated, but the female family members were also kidnapped and confiscated. The men were charged with various crimes and sent to prison. They all died within two days, which was considered a complete loss of family members.
Such tragedies frightened the remaining wealthy families who no longer dared to resist. They met the demands of these cavalry masters unconditionally and completely became lambs to be slaughtered.
Zhu family.
Zhu Zihao, the once fat-bellied and very wealthy head of the Zhu family, has long lost his former majesty.
My belly is also flat, the shine on my face is gone, and even the bags under my eyes are drooping.
At this time, he was slumped in a chair, listening to his butler report to him on the recent situation.
"Yesterday the government sent someone here again, saying that winter is approaching and the soldiers have not purchased clothes to keep out the cold. They asked us to spend five thousand taels of gold to buy cotton-padded clothes." The steward said cautiously.
Before Zhu Zihao could speak, a young man next to him could no longer sit still.
"Five thousand taels of gold! Is this cotton coat made of gold?"
The voice was sharp and full of resentment.
"Be careful what you say, young master, be careful what you say!" The butler was startled. He looked around and saw that no one was there. He breathed a sigh of relief and then advised him hard.
"How can this make me cautious? Two days ago, we talked about renovating the government office, which cost us 10,000 taels of gold. Today we have to buy cotton-padded clothes, which cost another 5,000 taels. Even if our family's gold is blown away by the strong wind, it will be worth the money."
You can’t stop pooping like this!”
The young man was furious and yelled loudly.
The housekeeper was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and his face turned pale.
After all, the situation in the city is very tense now, and everyone is keeping their tail between their legs.
If the words of the young master of the Zhu family were spread today, it would most likely cause a huge disaster.
But he didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only look at Zhu Zihao with pleading eyes.
At this time, Zhu Zihao finally woke up from the wandering daze and said softly: "Cheng Wan, stop talking."
"But dad..." Zhu Chengwan was still unconvinced.
Zhu Zihao ignored him, but looked at the housekeeper, "Lao Cheng, go to the treasury to pay a five thousand tael gold note, and send it to the government office now."
"Yes!" Butler Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and left quickly.
As soon as he left, Zhu Chengwan said angrily: "Dad, when will this end? If this continues, it won't be long before our Zhu family will be ruined."
Zhu Zihao sighed quietly.
"Then what can we do? No? Do you believe it? If we fail to deliver the golden ticket today, tomorrow our Zhu family will be trampled by the cavalry. By then your mother, your newly married daughter-in-law, including your sister,
They all have to become camp prostitutes, have you thought about the consequences?"
Zhu Chengwan was left speechless, because this result was not Zhu Zihao's intimidation, but actually happened.
As far as he knew, there were several wealthy families that ended up like this.
"But it's not a problem if it keeps going like this!" Zhu Chengwan muttered, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Father, don't you know some adults in the capital? Can you ask them for help?"
"Help, how to help?" Zhu Zihao sneered.
"Let's not talk about how long it will take to deliver a message to the capital and back because the trade routes are not yet open. Let's just say that this Wei Hongbin is a direct descendant of the Wei family and is considered a top-notch descendant of the family in the capital. We support him.
Those adults probably don't even care in front of him, so how can you ask them to help?"
"Then our Zhu family can only be slaughtered by others?" Zhu Chengwan said desperately.
"It's not as pessimistic as you think." Zhu Zihao said quietly.
"Huh? Is there any improvement?" Zhu Chengwan's heart immediately ignited hope.
"Now the warriors in the city and Wei Hongbin's cavalry are on the same level. The conflicts between the two sides are getting deeper and deeper. I believe it will not be long before it completely breaks out. At that time, it will be our Zhu family's only hope for a comeback."
"Those warriors?" Zhu Chengwan was stunned, and then asked hesitantly: "Father, do you have such high expectations for these gangsters?"
"Big boss?" Zhu Zihao glanced at his only son, and then shook his head helplessly.
"You are like this, how can I safely hand over this huge family fortune to you?"
Zhu Chengwan blushed and quickly lowered his head, "My child knows that he was wrong. Please let your father make it clear."
"It is true that most of these warriors are rough guys who only know how to wield swords and guns, but there are still some who are good at it."
Speaking of this, Zhu Zihao couldn't help but think back to the young man who scolded Fang Qiu in front of him.
At that time, the young man also came to visit Qiu Feng, and eventually took away 500 pieces of cloth armor.
Zhu Zihao was still feeling quite heartbroken at that time.
But now that I think about it, if I had known that this would be the result, I would have been more generous at that time and supported these warriors more.
After all, although these warriors are sometimes a bit troublesome, at least they are from this county and have a bottom line in doing things, and they will not be as greedy as Wei Hongbin.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
Zhu Chengwan naturally didn't know this. When he saw his father was silent, he didn't dare to ask questions, so he had to wait quietly aside.
It wasn't until a long time later that Zhu Zihao said in a deep voice: "You and I will just endure it for now. I believe it won't be long before there will be big changes in the city."
"When the time comes...you have to put aside all your prejudices and cooperate fully. You must not act impulsively, do you understand?"
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Zihao raised his voice and spoke with a solemn expression.
"Yes, the child will obey his father's teachings."
Zhao Ya did not know about these things that happened in the city.
At this time, he was standing in the room, frowning and thinking about something.
Although it has already entered autumn, it is still a little hot in the house.
Zhao Ya simply took off his shirt, revealing the strong muscles underneath.
At this time, his body was covered with sweat and his skin was faintly red, which was the trace left by the circulation of Qi and blood.
After these few days of hard training in seclusion, Zhao Ya's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, but Zhao Ya is still a little dissatisfied with this.
Because some places are still stuck at the pass, there has been no breakthrough.
For example, this Five Tiger Fist.
Speaking of which, this boxing technique is the martial art that Zhao Ya has practiced for the longest time. He has been practicing it since he first started.
Now he has reached the pinnacle, but Zhao Ya still feels that it is not enough.
Because the Guangfeng Sword Techniques that I learned from later generations have broken through the barriers and reached the state of returning to nature.
And after reaching this state, Zhao Ya felt that his attainments in swordsmanship were more than just improvement, it was as if he had been reborn.
It was this change that made Zhao Ya re-examine the Five Tiger Fist.
True.
Compared with the Great Vajra Fist, this boxing method does seem a bit crude, and it is considered a popular one even among entry-level boxing methods.
But Zhao Ya knew that if he could break through this boxing technique, his understanding of the boxing technique would reach a whole new level, and it would even be of great benefit to his practice of the Vajra Boxing.
After all, after martial arts reaches a certain level, the principles are the same.
And once you break through, your actual combat capabilities will be greatly enhanced.
Therefore, in addition to practicing other martial arts these days, Zhao Ya spent most of his time studying this Five Tiger Fist.
However, after these days of hard training, apart from gaining a better understanding of Five Tiger Fist, I have not made any progress in other aspects. The 1% progress is like a natural chasm, which is simply insurmountable.
After thinking for a long time and still getting nothing, Zhao Ya couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
He sighed.
The path to martial arts is indeed not that simple.
Especially when trying to break through a barrier, there is often just a little bit of understanding.
But just this little understanding will make you miserable.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya was no longer impatient.
The more anxious you are at this time, the more counterproductive it is.
He opened the door, took a deep breath of fresh air outside, and then stepped into the courtyard.
Zui'er was still thinking about juice in the kitchen.
Many dead leaves fell in the yard, indicating that autumn is approaching.
Zhao Ya stood under the tree, looking at the big tree that was planted in an unknown year, and remained silent.
"Huh? Brother Xiaoya, you came out so early today?"
After Zui'er came out of the kitchen and saw Zhao Ya standing under the tree, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Well, I encountered some problems, so I came out to get some air." Zhao Ya said.
"Hmm, Brother Xiaoya, what do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you." Zui'er said happily.
"whatever."
"Then fish stew? Senior Brother Xu just sent some fresh fish this morning, and I kept them in the pond."
"Can."
"Okay, I'll go clean it up."
As he said this, Zui'er turned around and went into the kitchen, took out a kitchen knife and went to the sink.
Sure enough, there were several big fish swimming in the pool.
Zui'er stood at the edge of the pool and watched for a moment. Suddenly, he reached out with his palm, grabbed a big fish, and lifted it out of the water.
"Hehe, how are you? I've been practicing the White Crane Palm you taught me recently." Zui'er asked happily.
Zhao Ya couldn't help but smile, but still nodded, "Well, you practiced well, you have a bit of Bai He's charm."
"Well, I think so too. Let me tell you, Brother Xiaoya, when I practice this palm technique, I always feel like I am a big white crane, and it is so fierce... Brother Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Zhao Ya's eyes suddenly brighten horribly, Zui'er couldn't help but asked with some fear.
"Hahaha, it's okay, Zui'er, you are really my lucky star."
After saying that, Zhao Ya rushed forward, hugged Zui'er and kissed her hard, then turned around and walked into the house, leaving Zui'er standing there with a confused look on his face.
At this moment, Zhao Ya was very excited.
yes!
Since you have already achieved the ultimate in boxing, why not start with Shen Yun?
You must know that when he first started, Meng Lei, who taught him boxing, said that he should imagine himself as a tiger descending from the mountain.
But now that I have come into contact with so many more powerful beasts, can I imagine myself as a tiger beast that is more powerful than the tiger that descends from the mountain?
The more I think about it, the more I think this method is feasible.
After returning to the house, Zhao Ya immediately started practicing.
When the beast tide attacked the city, Zhao Ya had encountered several tiger beasts at the peak of the Three Realms, so he was no stranger to them.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Ya suddenly raised his eyes, took a step forward, and then punched.
The wind of the fist roared like a tiger, stirring up dust on the ground.
Zhao Ya felt that he had an inexplicable understanding in his heart. Taking this opportunity, Zhao Ya immediately started practicing the following routines.
Ding Babu double-pressed his fists, followed by the black tiger leaping into the stream, the white tiger crouching, and the colorful tiger cutting its tail...
Each punch move appeared in Zhao Ya's hands like flowing clouds and flowing water.
At this time, Zhao Ya seemed to have turned into a powerful tiger beast, looking down at the mountains and forests, making all beasts bow their heads.
Finally, when the last move was made, Zhao Ya felt that the feeling in his heart was completely full, and his whole body was filled with joy.
At the same time, a line of prompts appeared in front of me.
[Five Tiger Fist proficiency increased by 4%, promotion successful]
