Longevity starts with strengthening the internal organs

In fact, Zhao Ya had speculated before that if the Dongwang's relics were in Dayan, then the possibility of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain System should be the greatest.

Because Wanshou Mountain is the largest mountain in Dayan, the entire mountain system spans thousands of miles and runs through almost half of Dayan.

It is in such a huge mountain system that treasures are most likely to be hidden.

When mentioning Wanshou County, Zhao Ya couldn't help but think of the brothers and sisters Song Linqing, Song Peiwan, and Tan Dong and others.

When he was in Wuxiang City, due to the melee between the three families and being unable to cope with the situation, Song Linqing, the head of the Song family, finally led all his men to flee Wanshou County and returned to the Song family's hometown.

Years later, due to the blockage of roads across the world and the decommissioning of inns, Zhao Ya, Song Linqing and others had long lost contact, and no one knew what happened to them.

Zhao Ya sighed slightly, and then carefully put away this map of mountains and rivers in Wanshou County.

These maps must be at least hundreds of years old. They were compiled when Dayan spent huge manpower and material resources surveying the topography of the world when the country was strong.

But now it is placed in the library of the Imperial College, silently growing moldy, and no one cares about it.

Of course, it cannot be said that no one looked at it at all. At least the map of the Dayan Post Road trade route had been stolen long ago.

Only these desolate mountains and maps with almost no commercial value were left.

Zhao Ya left the Imperial College with this map and returned home.

As soon as he entered the house, Shang Jingchuan came up to him and looked directly at Zhao Ya.

"Xiao Ya, was it you who made the decree today?" Shang Jingchuan asked.

"That's right. Actually, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly, but someone came forward to help you, so it became a success."

Shang Jingchuan hesitated for a moment, and finally bowed his hand very solemnly.

"Thank you!"

Zhao Ya smiled, stretched out his hand to help Shang Jingchuan up, "That's not necessary. Since you plan to do something practical for the people, I can still help you with this."

Shang Jingchuan didn't say anything more.

What he encountered today gave him a great shock, and he needed time to digest it, so he just nodded and went back.

After he left, Shang Luoluo stepped forward, looked Zhao Ya up and down, and suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that you have gained a lot this time."

Zhao Ya was slightly surprised, "Where did you see that? I don't think I can be so helpless."

Zhao Ya thought he had an expression on his face.

Shang Luoluo said with a smile: "It's not an expression, it's a feeling."

Zhao Ya didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But I have to say that women’s feelings are sometimes quite accurate.

"It's not bad, I just found some clues."

Zhao Ya didn't say that he was going to find the treasure. It wasn't that he didn't trust Shang Luoluo. It was just that things were kept secret, and the fewer people who knew about some things, the better.

"Then when are you leaving?" Shang Luoluo was also very sensible and did not continue to ask further questions. He just asked when Zhao Ya was leaving.

"Well, let's take care of the affairs in the capital, and then get ready to leave."

"Oh." Shang Luoluo looked a little sad.

It was naturally impossible for Zhao Ya to take her with him here, and after being together for so long, he was naturally a little disappointed when they parted ways.

Zhao Ya naturally noticed Shang Luoluo's depressed mood, so he said, "If everything goes well here, we will be back in about a month and a half."

Although Wanshou County is far away from Yandu City, with Zhao Ya's pace and all his strength, it can be reached in ten days. Add in the search for the treasure location and meeting the old friends of the Song family, and twenty days is not enough time. .

Coupled with the return trip and possible delays, one and a half months is a reasonable guess.

certainly.

This is based on everything going well.

After all, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain is extremely vast, and even with a map, finding the treasure location is not an easy task.

Shang Luoluo didn't dwell on the matter anymore. After dinner, he went back to the house with Zui'er.

Zhao Ya started practicing in the backyard.

Zhao Ya had destroyed most of the box of black dragon meat jerky sent by Yunyuan before, and the result was that Zhao Ya's realm was completely stable.

Although I no longer have the feeling of getting stronger every moment when I first broke through, my whole person is much more solid.

After practicing the eight steps of the Vajra Longevity Kung Fu, Zhao Ya boxed again and practiced sword skills before flying out and heading to Mo Qi's small courtyard.

As soon as I landed, I heard the melodious sound of erhu coming from the house.

Zhao Ya didn't bother him, but walked into the house silently.

At this time, Mo Qi was half lying on the bed, shaking his head and listening. Opposite him, Rao Mingyue was sitting on a chair, concentrating on playing the erhu.

Zhao Ya found a seat and sat down, listening quietly.

The erhu played by Rao Mingyue is quite exciting, at least it sounds good to Zhao Ya.

Finally, the song ends.

Rao Mingyue put down her erhu with some guilt, and asked cautiously: "Master, how are you doing?"

"Well, considering your current level, it's pretty good."

Then he looked at Zhao Ya, "Why are you so free today and come to me?"

"What do you mean, please find out, please, I rent this yard." Zhao Ya complained.

"Hehe, since it's mine, it belongs to me." Mo Qi grinned, then pointed at Rao Mingyue.

"What do you think of the song he just played?"

"It sounds pretty good."

"It sounds really good, but do you know how long he has been practicing?"

"for how long?"

"Three days!"

Mo Qi said with a face full of grief and anger: "Damn, I learned this piece and practiced it for three months, but he learned it in three days. What a huge difference."

"But one thing is that this guy's talent on the erhu is so amazing, but his talent in martial arts is a mess."

"I've been practicing a simple set of boxing techniques for a month and I'm still missing out on everything. What's the big deal?"

Mo Qi complained so hard that Rao Mingyue turned red and quickly found an excuse to escape.

After he left, Mo Qi calmed down and asked, "Tell me, what's the reason for coming here this time?"

"If I have nothing to do, I can't come and see you?" Zhao Ya said with a smile.

"Come on, I don't believe you have such good intentions." Mo Qi said.

"Hehe, there is one thing that really matters, that is, I am preparing to go on a long trip these days, but at the same time I am a little worried about home, so I hope you can help me keep an eye on it during this period." Zhao Ya said very seriously.

Mo Qi was a little surprised, but he didn't ask where Zhao Ya was going. He just said, "I remember you have a good relationship with Wang Tiancheng from the Golden Sword Academy. Why don't you go find him?"

"Of course I will say something to him, but he has too many things to do and can't always keep an eye on him. You are different. You are idle at home anyway, so you can help me with this." Zhao Ya said with a smile.

Mo Qi was also happy, "It's a sin to stay at home together, right?"

"It's not in vain for you to take action. I'll give you two thousand taels of gold when the deal is done." Zhao Ya is now rich, so naturally he doesn't care about this little money.

"Actually, I also feel that it's a bit boring to be idle at home all the time. It's better to go out and stretch your muscles." Mo Qi immediately changed his mind.

Zhao Ya couldn't laugh or cry.

This Mo Qi is good at everything, but sometimes he is greedy for money.

But Zhao Ya could also tell that he did this for the sake of his newly acquired Rao Mingyue.

"Actually, you don't have to work too hard. You just need to keep an eye on some things secretly. If you encounter trouble that cannot be solved, you can go to the Golden Sword Academy for help. I will ask them to help." Zhao Ya was worried and warned carefully. After a while.

Mo Qi was happy, "It seems like you are really worried."

"It's always better to be careful."

"Okay, don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."

After coming out of Mo Qi's place, Zhao Ya went to the Golden Knife Court without stopping. After seeing Wang Tiancheng, he briefly explained what he meant.

Wang Tiancheng naturally agreed, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Junior Brother Zhao, what are you going to do? To be so cautious?"

"Of course, I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that if you have any problems that are difficult to solve, you can tell me and I, the Golden Blade Academy, will definitely help you."

Ever since Yu Dao and Yan Ruize told the story of their friendship with Zhao Ya in front of the dean of the Golden Blade Academy and all the elders.

Wang Tiancheng not only received unanimous praise from everyone, but also received a generous reward.

Therefore, Wang Tiancheng attached great importance to Zhao Ya's words.

Zhao Ya smiled and shook his head, "No need. I am going out this time to resolve some personal matters. It's just that the journey is quite far and there is not much danger."

"That's good!"

In this way, Zhao Ya arranged things properly and then began to purchase the supplies needed for the road.

Due to the tight time schedule on our trip to Wanshou County this time, we naturally couldn't take a slow stroll in a carriage like we did when we came to Yandu City before.

Zhao Ya had to go all out, so he needed to bring a lot of supplies.

And just as he was making intensive preparations, Yunyuan suddenly came to his door.

"Huh? Your old man wants to see Uncle Shang and me?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

"yes."

Then Yunyuan said helplessly: "Actually, my grandfather has wanted to see you a long time ago, but he never had the chance. I don't know what happened in the past two days, but I have to invite you to come over."

Zhao Ya hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go there with you."

Shang Jingchuan did not refuse after learning the news.

In fact, he had previously admired the old man of the Yun family, the former Prime Minister of Yan, Yun Jixiu.

He originally planned to pay a visit after arriving in Yandu City, but due to various trivial matters, he was unable to make the trip.

Now that he was invited, Shang Jingchuan had no reason to refuse.

The two followed Yunyuan to Yun's house.

The eldest son of the Yun family, Yun Yizhi, and the second master, Yun Shenzhi, were waiting in front of the door to greet them. After seeing the two of them arriving, they quickly welcomed them into the inner courtyard.

After meeting this legendary figure of the Yun family and the old prime minister of Dayan, before Zhao Ya felt anything, Shang Jingchuan's face turned red with excitement.

"Student Shang Jingchuan has met Mr. Yun."

Shang Jingchuan calls himself a student because he has the greatest respect for Yun Jixiu.

After hearing this, Yun Jixiu, who was usually drowsy and looking like he was about to die, couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I like this title. Please take a seat."

After Shang Jingchuan and Zhao Ya sat down, a servant brought tea, and the three of them drank and chatted.

But after just a few words, Yun Jixiu got to the point.

"I also heard about the incident at Jingzhao Mansion the day before yesterday. It was really a big deal. It should have been done by Zhao Shaoxia."

Zhao Ya didn't hide anything. He nodded and said, "Actually, it wasn't my hand. I just spread the news and gave some guidance. The rest were spontaneous actions by the people."

Yun Jixiu high-fived and laughed when he heard this, "That's true. If I hadn't known the news too late at the time, I would have had to go over and join in the fun."

Zhao Ya's heart moved slightly when he heard this.

Yun Jixiu's words are profound.

Because this is clearly a statement of support for Shang Jingchuan.

Combined with the fact that he invited himself and Shang Jingchuan over, Zhao Ya already had a plan in mind.

As expected, Yun Jixiu's conversation soon changed.

"I know everything that happened in Yandu City during this period, and it made me deeply moved."

"When I became prime minister, the situation had not yet collapsed to this point. I didn't expect that in just a few years, the people would be like this."

"So Jingchuan, you, the governor of Jingzhao, have done a good job, and you have given us a long face as an official in Dayan. But do you know how many people in the court are staring at you now?"

Shang Jingchuan is not a fool.

He was just a little pedantic and naive before.

Now, with his broadened horizons, he also understands many things.

He is naturally well aware of his current position in the court and the situation he faces.

"Yeah, I noticed something."

"Now that you hold the two important positions of Ping Zhangshi and Jingzhao Prefecture, the Wei family, Lin family and other wealthy families will definitely regard you as a thorn in their side. They just haven't taken action against you yet. Once they do, it will be extremely dangerous. "

Yun Jixiu has been in the officialdom for half his life, and naturally analyzes the stakes very accurately.

Shang Jingchuan said with a solemn expression: "Of course I understand this, but since I took over the position of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin, I have put life and death aside."

"Confused!" Yun Jixiu slapped the table, shook his head and sighed.

"Nowadays, all the pure people like you in Dayan are almost extinct. If you don't cherish your life anymore and instead use your head to fight with those rotten people, you have ruined your own integrity, but wouldn't Dayan No more hope?"

Shang Jingchuan was stunned for a moment, "But, what can I do?"

Yun Jixiu chuckled, "Although my Yun family is now in decline, I can still be somewhat thin-faced with my old face. As long as you are willing, our Yun family is willing to devote all our efforts to help you."

"So what do you mean?"

Unexpectedly, Shang Jingchuan did not agree immediately after hearing this. Instead, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "What are the prerequisites? Or what do I need to pay? Do I want to join the Yun family?"

Yun Jixiu laughed loudly, "There are no prerequisites, and there is no need for you to pay anything, let alone join the Yun family."

"I know what you are thinking. Let me tell you the truth. I, Yun Jixiu, have lived a long life. Before I died, I saw Dayan collapsed like this. You can imagine how I felt. Although I also knew that the building was about to collapse. , I can’t save it by myself, but I have to give it a try.”

"My two sons have mediocre qualifications, but you are not. You have ideals and ambitions. I see the shadow of myself in you, so I want to help you."

"Just for peace of mind."
