Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 349: The approachable Master Zhao!

backyard.

Zhao Yulong smiled and said, "Why, Patrol Envoy Bai doesn't want to invite me in for a drink?"

"Mine!" Bai Luoyu said, then stepped aside to make way, raising his hand at the same time: "Palace Master, please!"

As Zhao Yulong stepped into the backyard.

"It smells so good!" He immediately saw the fish already placed on the table and showed an approachable look.

"The Palace Master has come at the right time. Let's taste the meat of this two hundred-year-old fish monster together!" Bai Luoyu said.

"The flesh of a fish demon that has practiced Taoism for more than two hundred years?" Zhao Yulong looked at Bai Luoyu in surprise.

Then he continued, "Where did Envoy Bai get this rare item?"

"This is what Brother Jiang brought!" Bai Luoyu smiled.

Hear the words.

Zhao Yulong looked towards Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning said: "I happened to find a fish demon that had been practicing Taoism for more than 200 years in Luoshui Lake, so I killed it."

Zhao Yulong sighed, "In this era, it is rare to cultivate for more than 200 years, but it died halfway. This can only be blamed on the bad fate of the fish monster. You are its doom."

After that, the three of them took their seats.

Zhao Yulong said, "That fish demon has been able to cultivate for more than 200 years, so it must have some treasures that accompany it, right?"

Before Jiang Ning could speak, Bai Luoyu was the first to say with envy: "The Palace Master guessed it right. Brother Jiang just told me that it was an opportunity for Brother Jiang to obtain the Hundred-Year Thunder Fruit."

“So that’s how it is!” Zhao Yulong nodded slightly. “That makes sense. No wonder Commander Jiang’s skills are so profound and incredible!”

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Good luck."

Zhao Yulong said, "You're lucky. This shows that you have great fortune and luck! If you want to go far on the road of martial arts, great fortune and luck are also extremely important. I have come to this point because of many adventures."

Upon hearing this, the two of them nodded immediately.

Jiang Ning also deeply agreed with Zhao Yunlong's statement.

Any successful person, looking back on the past, will find that luck played a huge role.

Just like his previous life, he had achieved some success.

Looking back, he sometimes feels fortunate.

This is also the reason why wealthy businessmen particularly believe in Feng Shui and fate.

Because success really depends on luck.

Bai Luoyu smiled and said, "Palace Master, let's eat first and talk later!"

"Okay, eat first! Let me taste the meat of this fish monster that has been practicing for more than two hundred years." Zhao Yulong was also quite interested at this time: "I have never tasted such a rare thing before. This is all thanks to Envoy Bai!!"

Bai Luoyu smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Brother Jiang."

The words fell.

He beckoned.

The maid who was waiting on the side immediately ran over in small steps.

"Master!" the maid said respectfully.

Bai Luoyu said: "Let's put the finishing touches on this grilled fish!"

"Yes, sir!" the maid replied.

Then, she held up the wine pot beside her with both hands.

Zhao Yulong and Jiang Ning immediately watched the maid's actions leisurely.

Bai Luoyu's maid poured the wine in the wine jar evenly on the grilled fish.

Then he took out a fire starter from his sleeve.

Pull out the fire starter and blow gently, and the flame will rise.

Then, the moment the flame touched the wine on the grilled fish, a layer of faint blue flame suddenly danced in front of their eyes.

All of a sudden.

Catalyzed by the flames, the aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of meat wafted everywhere.

"It smells great!" Zhao Yulong nodded with a smile.

Bai Luoyu said, "Palace Master, you haven't told me who is the other genius you met these past two days who can rival Brother Jiang?"

Zhao Yulong said, "He is a young monk from the Vajra Temple. He looks about the same age as Commander Jiang, but he has already realized the state of unity between man and nature."

"Harmony between man and nature?" Bai Luoyu's face was suddenly filled with shock.

“Yes!” Zhao Yulong nodded, and said with emotion: “Harmony between man and nature is one of the necessary prerequisites for becoming a master of nature. If I could comprehend the realm of harmony between man and nature, I would have already become a master of nature.”

"Monster!!!" Bai Luoyu slowly uttered two words.

"He is indeed a monster!" Zhao Yulong nodded in agreement and said, "The young monk's enlightenment is too terrifying!"

"According to the agreement I made with a senior monk from the Vajra Temple ten years ago, I taught that young monk the Blue Dragon Strike two days ago. In just one day, the young monk mastered it thoroughly, and his mastery of the Blue Dragon Strike is no less than mine!"

at this time.

When Jiang Ning heard what Zhao Yunlong said, he couldn't help but recall the young monk in white robe that he met in Shuangyang Mountain.

"Could it be him?"

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ning felt that the young monk Zhao Yulong was talking about was most likely the one he had met before in Shuangyang Mountain.

After all, it is the state of harmony between man and nature.

Only a few people master it.

Not to mention that it corresponds to the monk and the young man at the same time.

"Vajra Temple is indeed one of the best sects in the world!" Jiang Ning was immediately moved.

Heaven and man are one.

It is the most direct ticket to becoming a great master of heaven and man.

Even Zhao Yulong, the Lord of the Dongling City Inspection Office and a top figure in Dongling County, has not been able to master the unity of man and nature.

It can be seen how difficult it is to master the unity of man and nature.

But a young monk in Vajra Temple did just that.

This made Jiang Ning suddenly feel the profound heritage of Vajra Temple.

"It is true that there are mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people!!" Bai Luoyu also spoke with great emotion at this time.

Zhao Yulong nodded in agreement.

"The further you go on the road of martial arts, the more you can feel the gap between you and those people. It's as huge as a chasm."

"The Palace Master is a master, how could he have such a feeling?" Bai Luoyu said.

Zhao Yulong shook his head: "There are also big differences between Grandmasters!"

"In my opinion, the only one who can truly be called a Grandmaster is the Heavenly Grandmaster!"

"No one below the Heavenly Master has this qualification!"

Jiang Ning sat aside, listening to the conversation between the two silently.

Just now.

The flame on the grilled fish gradually went out, and the color of the surface turned into a burnt yellow.

"Come, Lord Palace Master, try it first. Thank you for clearing up my doubts!" ​​Bai Luoyu spoke first.

Then he used the ivory chopsticks to pick up a large piece of browned fish meat.

See this.

Zhao Yulong also tasted it first without hesitation. He put the browned fish meat into his mouth and then closed his eyes.

As he chewed with his upper and lower jaws, he kept nodding his head to show his approval.

After a while.

Zhao Yulong's throat moved slightly, and after swallowing, he opened his eyes.

"Master, how does it taste?" Bai Luoyu asked.

"Good!" Zhao Yulong gave a thumbs up as he spoke: "This is a delicious delicacy. I am so blessed today!"

"Brother Jiang, come! Let's try it together!" Bai Luoyu said.

The two of them immediately started eating.

After putting the fish into your mouth.

Jiang Ning immediately sensed a warm aroma of wine in the fish meat.

The fish meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the flavor is locked in the browned surface.

"Not bad!" Jiang Ning also nodded.

After the three of them tasted it, they started drinking.

A few glasses of wine.

Jiang Ning filled a glass of wine for himself.

"Master, a toast to you."

"Why are you toasting me?" Zhao Yulong also filled a glass of wine for himself, smiling. Jiang Ning said, "The reward of one million contribution points was only possible thanks to the Palace Master!"

Seeing this, Zhao Yulong raised his glass and smiled.

After clinking glasses, they both drank it all in one gulp.

Then, Zhao Yulong said, "I can accept the reward of one million contribution points because I don't want to disappoint my brothers! After all, there are loopholes in the rules, and the responsibility lies with me, not you."

Having said that, he smiled again.

"Besides, if the funds are insufficient, I can just apply for more money from above! It's not my money anyway!! I won't feel bad about it!!"

Jiang Ning: "."

After hearing what Zhao Yulong said, he was suddenly speechless.

Then, still smiling, the three of them raised their glasses and drank.

The two people in front of him were both big shots in Dongling City.

One is the inspector of Dongling County, who has the special power to supervise a county. Even Zhao Yulong, the master and lord of Dongling City, is within the scope of Bai Luoyu's supervision.

One is the Lord of the Dongling City Inspection Office, an important figure of the fifth rank.

He also possesses the strength of a third-grade grandmaster.

With these two figures showing goodwill, Jiang Ning had no reason to refuse.

He drank until it became completely dark.

The food also got cold.

The fish meat of the fish monster which had practiced Taoism for more than 200 years was also eaten up.

"You two drink, it's getting late and I should go back!" Zhao Yulong put down the wine glass in his hand and slowly stood up.

After hearing this, the two of them stood up.

"We'll take you there!" Bai Luoyu said.

Zhao Yulong smiled and did not refuse.

In front of Bai Luoyu's mansion.

"That's all!" Zhao Yulong said, asking the two men to stop seeing him off.

Then he looked at Jiang Ning: "Commander Jiang, if you have time tomorrow, come to the Inspection Office! You have a lot of contribution points now, and you are young, it's time to use them."

"The County City's Inspection Office is incomparable to Luoshui County's Inspection Office. I'm sure you will be satisfied."

"Thank you for your guidance, Lord!" Jiang Ning bowed.

Zhao Yulong nodded slightly, without any of the condescending attitude of a grandmaster.

Then he turned and climbed into the carriage.

Then the two of them watched the carriage that Zhao Yulong was riding in go away.

"I didn't expect that Master Zhao, as a master, would be so approachable!" Jiang Ning said.

Bai Luoyu shook his head: "Brother Jiang, what you said is wrong."

Seeing Jiang Ning looking at him, a folding fan suddenly appeared in Bai Luoyu's hand.

"Shh-"

As the voice sounded, Bai Luoyu opened the folding fan.

He gently waved his folding fan in the evening breeze.

"The reason why Lord Zhao is so approachable is because we two deserve his approachability."

"If it were anyone else, it would be difficult to even meet Palace Master Zhao, let alone drink with him at the same table."

"How can we see his approachable side?"

Jiang Ning smiled when he heard that.

He was naturally clear about this principle and had known it for a long time.

It's just that it's not convenient for him to say such words.

Then he showed his approval.

"Brother Bai, what you said makes sense. After all, Brother Bai is so young, but he is already a county inspector. His martial arts skills are also very profound compared to those at the fifth level. It is a sure thing that he will be among the world's masters in the future."

Hearing this, Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning speechlessly.

"When I hear Brother Jiang flattering me, I always feel like he is insulting me! I am more than ten years older than Brother Jiang, but our martial arts achievements are comparable!"

The two of them then praised each other for a few more words.

Then they smiled at each other, and Jiang Ning said goodbye and went home.

Walking on a dark road.

The evening breeze blew.

Jiang Ning's drunkenness disappeared instantly.

Recalling everything that happened today.

"Not bad!" He immediately smiled.

Bai Luoyu's attitude and Zhao Yulong's attitude made him feel much more at ease.

His current strength is quite good.

But going out alone is not a good thing.

It is easier to get things done if you have talents in official positions.

It can save you a lot of trouble.

Zhao Yulong's arrival was enough for him to see many attitudes and Zhao Yulong's attitude towards him.

This will make things much easier for him in Dongling City in the future.

He didn't forget.

There is still a deep grudge between him and the Qinghe Earl's Mansion.

He had already arrived at Dongling City, and Dongling City was where the Qinghe Earl's Mansion was located.

Regarding this point, his previous concerns were no less than those of Shuiyue Sword Palace.

Although the Shuiyue Sword Palace is powerful, it is far superior to the Qinghe Earl's Mansion.

But Shuiyue Sword Palace is not an official force after all.

No matter how powerful they are, they dare not go against the Great Xia court now.

In front of the behemoth that is the Great Xia Imperial Court, even dragons and tigers have to cower.

After all, even the world's top sects like the Vajra Temple were once dormant under the pressure of Da Xia.

Not to mention the tiny Shuiyue Sword Palace.

Even though Da Xia is no longer at its former peak, it is still not something that the Shuiyue Sword Palace can challenge.

Xiao Qiu Shui, who is not even a master, really dares to go against Da Xia. Zhao Yulong may come to his house one day to make an example of him.

So at this level, the threat from Shuiyue Sword Palace is not that great.

Compared to Shuiyue Sword Palace.

On the contrary, Jiang Ning was more afraid of the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion, which was not very strong in terms of military power.

Because the Qinghe Earl's Mansion has declined again, it has now inherited the honorary title of Qinghe Earl.

But even that is an honorary title.

Today, the Earl of Qinghe is also a fourth-rank official.

Looking at the entire Dongling County, the county governor is of the fifth rank, and the Grandmaster Zhao Yulong, who serves as the head of the Inspection Mansion, is also only of the fifth rank.

Both are half a grade lower than Qinghebo.

This also shows that Qinghe Bo is the highest-ranking official in Dongling County.

In the official system, if you have no one above you and no background or backing, you will be tortured to death.

In his previous life, he had read the four great classics, among which Leopard Head Lin Chong was a living example.

In his view, as long as it is a social relationship composed of people, it is the same wherever it is placed.

If he was an ordinary eighth-rank official, with the secret manipulation of the Qinghe Earl's Mansion, even if he was powerful, he would probably be forced to become a bandit in no time.

At that time, his stable life will also come to an end.

The appearance of Zhao Yulong today and the goodwill expressed by Grandmaster Zhao Yulong undoubtedly showed the attitude of Grandmaster Zhao Yulong, the fifth-rank Lord of the Inspection Mansion, towards him.

With Zhao Yulong around, he suddenly had less worries about this.

In Jiang Ning's opinion.

Since Zhao Yulong has such an attitude today, it is likely that Zhao Yulong will not sit idly by and watch him being harmed from behind.

The official rank of Qinghe Bo was fourth grade, higher than that of the county governor and Zhao Yulong.

But after all, it is a nominal position without any real power, and its symbolic significance is greater than its practical significance.

In terms of influence in Dongling City, it is not to be mentioned that Zhao Yulong, a fifth-rank official, possesses the strength of a master.

The inspector Bai Luoyu alone should be enough to compete with the Qinghe Earl's Mansion!
