Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

The flying sword was retracted.

The battle came to an abrupt end and the river gradually returned to calm.

Deng Tai'a showed admiration on his face: "With such achievements, apart from those hidden old monsters, there are not many people in this world who can threaten you!"

Zhao Xu also stopped practicing at this moment, the golden light around his body disappeared, and he returned to normal.

"This world is too big, and I have to keep working hard. Reaching the pinnacle of martial arts is the wish of warriors of my generation!"

"What a pinnacle of martial arts!" Deng Tai'a exclaimed and flew back to the shore, followed closely by Zhao Xu.

Deng Tai'a put his flying sword back into the box, picked up the peach branch in his hand, and rode on the donkey again, smiling:

"I met you today and learned that there are many talented people in the martial arts world. I am very happy!"

"Senior, your sword-flying technique is extremely magical. I admire you very much. I am very lucky to have the opportunity to witness it!" Zhao Xu said with a bow.

Hearing this, Deng Tai'a laughed loudly, and then continued:

"You are going east this time, so Emperor Wu City is essential!"

Zhao Xu nodded: "Wang Xianzhi is now the martial arts monument of Liyang. Aspiring martial artists will all climb this peak!"

"Wang Xianzhi's strength is even greater than mine. You will definitely gain something after fighting with him!" After saying this, Deng Tai'a drove the donkey and continued to go west.

Looking at the receding figure, Zhao Xu fell into deep thought.

When a warrior's spirit, energy, and mind are perfect, he can start to break through to become a land immortal.

But whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Sui Dynasty, many supreme grandmasters, many of whom met the standards, were trapped and unable to break through.

Recently, he has fought against the Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan and the Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'a.

Although they are all just mentioned briefly, the tip of the iceberg revealed shows that everyone has reached the level of land immortals in some aspects.

If we say that Xie Xuan and Zhao Xu had accumulated too much in a certain aspect before, so once they broke through, that aspect would reach a higher level and reach the level of land immortals, but they still had shortcomings in other aspects.

But Deng Tai'a's spirit, energy, soul and will were all perfect.

Although it is unknown whether his Great Vajra of Essence and Great Celestial Phenomenon of God are perfect and transcendent, it is clear that when they fought, Great Finger Xuan of Qi showed a level that was better than that of ordinary land immortals.

With such achievements, there is still no breakthrough, which obviously means there is a problem.

Zhao Xu thought for a long time and focused his attention on luck.

Deng Tai'a did it intentionally or unintentionally.

However, it made Zhao Xu much clearer about the future.

However, the final answer still lies with Wang Xianzhi, the second best in the world.

……

With the strength to reach Zhao Xu's level, the time spent on traveling is actually very little, and most of the time is spent on experiencing the worldly life.

The Spring of Yonghui.

In the court, Zhang Julu, the prime minister of Liyang, rectified the administration of officials, promoted people from humble backgrounds, suppressed the powerful and wealthy, and with a tough approach, he put the country, which had just experienced the chaos of the Spring and Autumn Period and was unified, back on track step by step.

In the martial arts world, the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao, who once rode his horse across the world and conquered mountains and strongholds, still has his power left. The remaining martial arts sects and powerful families have all surrendered to the court, obeyed orders, and become much more docile.

Although the seeds of chaos have been sown, as long as these Li Yang pillars are still there, the world can still maintain overall stability for a few years.

Maybe it's thanks to them.

Zhao Xu's journey was relatively smooth except for some troubles he had to ask for some geographical books in each town he arrived at.

The thing that made Zhao Xu happiest was that he did not encounter any "heroes" who blocked his way.

Of course, he knew in his heart that these people must exist, but he just hadn't met them.

Leaving Yuzhou and entering Yangzhou.

When you come to Jiangnan Road, the scenery is very different.

The willows are meaningful and their green is soft. As far as the eye can see, the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is as picturesque as a picture.

Jiangnan was a place where literary culture flourished, and it was also where aristocratic families gathered, with Yangzhou being the most prominent among them.

The current power of the Qingzhou Youth Party is nothing compared to the former glory of the Jiangzuo Group.

Although the unjust wars in the Spring and Autumn Period caused these powerful families to suffer heavy losses.

However, there are still four major families, namely the Huting Lu family, the Jiangxin Yu family, the Bojie Yuan family and the Gumu Xu family, which are still dominant in the area.

After passing through Tangsong and Xiongbao counties, Zhao Xu decided to make a short stop in Huting County.

The land supports the people.

Zhao Xu experienced the ups and downs of Jiangnan during both the Ming Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty.

But it can be compared to the Sui Dynasty, which was full of gang fights, and the Ming Dynasty, which was full of martial arts families.

Liyang and Jiangnan are mostly controlled by these aristocratic families who have passed down the literary style.

As a member of the family, he is good at writing and claims to be a moral gentleman.

Among the six arts of a gentleman, archery and charioteering are not given enough attention here and appear much weaker.

Lake Pavilion County.

Yangchun City.

This city is known as the lung of the world and is most suitable for the growth of peonies. The top three of the ten tribute peonies of the dynasty all came from here.

Xu Zhihu, the most prominent widow in Jiangnan Road in recent years, is also located in this city.

These aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River advocate morality on the surface, but in fact, they are full of intrigue and conspiracy.

The noble ladies in the inner houses of the aristocratic families have always liked to spread rumors and create trouble in secret to destroy people's innocence.

Beiliang is located in the border area, and its people are tough and fierce. They have always been looked down upon by the literati in the south of the Yangtze River who claim to be the descendants of saints.

When Xu Zhihu arrived and became a widow, she naturally became the target of these people's attacks.

The relationship between Zhao Xu and the Xu family became increasingly close, and it was only natural for him to visit them whenever he passed through the south of the Yangtze River.

As an important town in Jiangnan Road, and with the aftermath of the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period still lingering, Yangchun City's defenses have not yet declined.

Both the repair of the city walls and the quality of the guards at the city gates are acceptable.

When Zhao Xu arrived at the city gate, he took out his pass and lined up to enter the city like ordinary merchants and civilians.

However, when the guard looked at Zhao Xu's pass and stared at Zhao Xu carefully for a few seconds, his expression suddenly became suspicious and he became a little flustered.

"Is there any problem?" Zhao Xu asked calmly.

"Ah, no, no problem, please!" Although the guard tried hard to cover it up, his attitude revealed everything.

Zhao Xu didn't say much.

He did not intentionally conceal his identity along the way, so it was normal for him to be noticed.

Watching Zhao Xu disappear into the city, the guard quickly asked his companion to take his place, and he hurried to report to the officer at the city gate.

The young officer at the city gate is now leisurely sipping tea under the shade of trees in the inner city. Although he is a rough man, he was born in such a place, and he likes such elegant things in his life.

"School guard, school guard..." The guards under his command shouted urgently, which made him alert instantly and realized that something had happened.

"What's the matter?"

"Sir..." The guard, running out of breath, reported everything that had just happened.

A moment later, the officer at the city gate hurried into the inner city.

It is a huge event that "Master Yu Jian" has entered Yangchun City.

Zhao Xu entered the Jiangnan Road, went in and out of cities, and visited various places without hiding his identity.

Officials from all over the country secretly sent copied portraits and pass information to the city gates.

Always keep an eye on his whereabouts.
