Longevity starts with strengthening the internal organs

Zhao Ya had a good impression of Elder Shen.

Not just because he had spoken for himself before, forcing Xia Jiye to apologize to him in public.

What's more important is that Shen Yunshen runs official business.

For example, when he first received the teacher's mission, although he had a bad attitude, he did everything he had to do and even reminded himself kindly.

This is very valuable.

It can be said that Zhao Ya does not expect anyone to take care of him like Guo Luming, but as long as everyone takes care of business like Shen Yunshen, Canglong Temple and even the whole world will be much more peaceful.

Unfortunately, this is destined to be just an extravagant hope.

After three glasses of wine, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Everyone here is a warrior, and the lowest level of strength is in the fifth level. Naturally, there is no need to worry about drinking.

However, no one would deliberately use Qi and blood to dispel the alcohol when drinking. Even Zhao Ya would intentionally weaken the function of his liver to make himself feel a little drunk.

After all, drinking gives you that smoky feeling. It would be too boring to drink a thousand glasses of wine all the time without getting drunk.

After chatting for a while, Shen Yunshen suddenly said: "Has this Xia Jiye caused any trouble for you since that day?"

Zhao Ya put down his wine glass and said, "I didn't ask for any trouble. He just told me not to go to Chuanwu Hall again."

"I know that Xia Jiye has become more and more outrageous in recent years." Shen Yunshen said coldly.

However, he did not go further and changed the topic.

"Zhao Ya, I'm not here just for the sake of drinking."

Zhao Ya nodded, "I understand. If Elder Shen has anything to do, please give me your instructions."

In fact, Zhao Ya knew from the beginning that Shen Yunshen must have something to do here, and there was no way he was really here just to drink.

"Haha, it saves trouble to talk to Kuai Kuai. In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just that the new year is approaching and there is a master mission in the temple but no one has taken it, so I thought of you."

"Oh? What mission?"

Zhao Ya's curiosity was immediately aroused.

He originally planned to visit the contribution office in the past few days to see if there were any tasks suitable for him.

After all, writing boxing records is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but the contribution of my own master is no longer enough.

"Actually, this task is not difficult. It doesn't even require the use of force, but the rewards are very generous." Shen Yunshen said.

Zhao Ya didn't say anything because he knew there would be consequences.

Otherwise, how could no one take such a high-quality task?

really.

After finishing a bowl of wine, Shen Yun sighed deeply.

"But the really tricky part of this mission is that we can't use force."

As he spoke, Shen Yunshen took out a list and handed it to Zhao Ya.

"Here, see for yourself."

Zhao Ya took it and opened it. The mission introduction inside was very long, as long as a full page.

This should be the longest introduction to the sect missions that Zhao Ya has ever seen.

He looked at it carefully.

After waiting for a long time, after he read it, Shen Yunshen couldn't help but laugh.

"How about it?"

Zhao Ya nodded, "It's indeed quite tricky."

As he said that, he put the list on the table.

Gui Xuanqing, who was next to him, listened for a long time, but ended up in confusion. At this time, he finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"You can tell me what's going on."

"Actually, it's very simple. There is a piece of property owned by Canglong Temple at the foot of the mountain, which has been rented. Logically speaking, the rent should be paid every year, but since ten years ago, Canglong Temple has not confiscated a single penny of rent. "Shen Yunshen introduced.

Gui Xuanqing's eyes widened, "How could this be? How courageous are these people? They dare to despise Canglong Temple like this. Aren't they afraid that Canglong Temple will send people to clear it up?"

"That's the problem. If we left out other people, Canglong Temple would have taken action long ago, but it's just this group of people that Canglong Temple really can't do." Zhao Ya said slowly.

"Why?"

"Because Canglong Temple has to worry about its reputation." Zhao Ya said, and then handed the list to Gui Xuanqing.

After reading it, Gui Xuanqing was speechless for a while.

As Zhao Ya said, Canglong Temple really can't attack these people.

Because the people who rent that property now are actually a group of poor people who are disabled, orphaned or widowed.

Although Canglong Temple is strong and reasonable, if it really wants to attack this group of people, it will definitely attract criticism from the outside world.

By then, Canglong Temple's already declining reputation will probably be even worse.

"Since it's so difficult, let's just forget about the rent and treat it as a good deed, which can also gain a good reputation." Gui Xuanqing said.

Shen Yun sighed deeply, "We thought so at the beginning. Although the rent was not a small amount, it was nothing compared to the reputation of Canglong Temple, so we didn't plan to ask for it. But we didn't expect that from then on, other It’s also getting harder and harder to get rent for property.”

"Once they ask for rent, these people will make excuses for them, saying why they don't have to pay, but they want it from us? So far, 80% of the properties have even stopped paying rent."

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

Because he was as sharp as he was, he immediately heard that there was definitely something fishy going on.

No matter how you say it, Canglong Temple is still a large sect among the Thirteen Huawai Sects, and there is no way it can be reduced to the point where it cannot even collect rent.

As long as the methods are tougher, when those people wonder why others don't have to pay but I have to pay, they should be driven away directly.

After all, my family's property will be waived for anyone I want to. What does it have to do with you?

So these should all be excuses or excuses, and there must be ulterior interests connected with them.

Seeing Zhao Ya's expression, Shen Yunshen knew that he must have guessed something, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He is truly worthy of being praised by all the great elders. His keen insight alone makes him extraordinary.

It seems that I really found the right person this time.

"If that's all, that's fine, but recently I received news that the property that didn't pay rent in the first place actually had something fishy going on. Those poor people with disabilities and orphans and widowed mothers were just a cover, and someone was secretly instigating them. , and then make huge profits through this method.”

"This has violated the bottom line of Canglong Temple, so the great elder personally issued this sect mission."

After speaking, Shen Yunshen looked at Zhao Ya, "But this task is different from the past. It cannot be solved by force. You must be bold and careful, and you must be flexible at the same time."

"So I think this matter belongs to you."

Zhao Ya immediately refused.

joke.

I am too lazy to do such a thankless task.

Wouldn't it be nice to have that time to practice well at home, or enjoy some leisure time during the New Year?

Moreover, this matter is apparently to solve the rent problem of Canglong Temple, but in fact the water is very deep, and it may even be related to the power struggle within Canglong Temple.

Zhao Ya didn't want to get involved in this kind of quagmire and vortex.

After all, I can't even open my pulse now. Even if my strength is not weak, if I rush into a fight of this level, I will be in trouble.

As if seeing Zhao Ya's concerns, Shen Yunshen said simply: "I know what you are worried about, but you don't need to do anything else. You just need to solve the rent issue. I guarantee that other matters will not be involved." To you, this is the guarantee that the Great Elder and I jointly make to you."

Zhao Ya was slightly shaken, and finally understood that Shen Yunshen was not the only one here. There was also the great elder Guan Xuejiang standing behind him.

But the problem is that I only know the Great Elder Guan Xuejiang once, how could he know me so well?

Zhao Ya didn't know the relationship between Guan Xuejiang and Guo Luming, so he was a little confused.

"When everything is done, in addition to the 500-point contribution from the sect, there will be additional thanks. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is..."

Shen Yunshen looked at Zhao Ya and said in a calm tone: "From the moment you took the risk of becoming enemies with Xia Jiye, you have been involved in the whirlpool. So at this moment, do you think you can still stay out of it?"

Zhao Ya smiled bitterly after hearing this, then picked up the bowl and drank the wine in one gulp.

"So you already knew this."

"Haha, you can hide all your tricks and thoughts from others, but hiding them from the Great Elder is a joke. Besides, you probably don't know that Elder Guo, who taught you martial arts, and the Great Elder are brothers. You can become his disciple. , and this is also the reason why the great elder has repeatedly recommended it.”

In fact, Zhao Ya had made some guesses before, but it was only now that he heard Shen Yunshen's explanation that he suddenly realized it.

Then he smiled casually, "I see, then it seems like I can't do it if I don't do it."

In fact, when Zhao Ya tried to become Guo Luming's disciple before, he thought that doing so might turn into an opportunity.

The fact was exactly as he expected, but it came faster than expected.

The so-called rent check is just a cover. The essence is that the elder wants to use this matter to attack the interest groups within Canglong Temple.

Of course, both the Great Elder and Zhao Ya knew that this incident alone would be difficult to shake these deep-rooted interest groups.

But it's like opening a river clam. As long as you pry open a gap, the next step will be easy.

At this time, Zhao Ya was the crowbar.

Seeing that Zhao Ya agreed, Shen Yunshen was also very happy.

"Come, let's have a drink together."

The meal lasted until late at night.

After sending Shen Yunshen away, Gui Xuanqing, who had been holding back his words, finally couldn't help it anymore and asked.

"Brother, why don't I understand something? If this matter is so difficult, why do you want to do it next?"

Zhao Ya smiled and shook his head, "What you don't understand is that there are some things that you can't just stop doing if you want to. That's what they say when people are in the world, they can't help themselves."

After saying that, Zhao Ya went back to the house.

Gui Xuanqing was left standing alone, murmuring softly: "People can't help themselves in the world... It makes sense."

Gui Xuanqing felt more and more that Zhao Ya was a genius. Otherwise, why would everything he said make sense?

After returning to the house, Zhao Ya washed his face, then sat on the futon and began to think about the matter.

Now that you have made the decision, you must do it well.

In fact, there was only one sentence that really touched Zhao Ya today, and that was Shen Yunshen said, "Do you think you can still stay out of the matter?"

At that time, Zhao Ya understood that his previous thoughts were too naive.

He originally wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible for a period of time, and wait until he had successfully opened his pulse and gained enough strength before confronting Xia Jiye and others.

But Shen Yunshen's words reminded Zhao Ya that the other party was not stupid, and he had not shown any threat yet, so they did not take action.

But when his strength becomes stronger and stronger, the other party will definitely take action after feeling threatened, instead of just sitting back and waiting for death.

Therefore, what you should do is to wait for the opportunity and take the initiative when you find the opportunity. This is the best self-defense strategy.

And this time with the endorsement of the Great Elder and Shen Yunshen, it should be a better opportunity.

Zhao Ya unfolded the task list and began to study it carefully.

If you want to do something well, you must first have a deep understanding of it.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

At the same time, in the secret room on the top floor of the library, Shen Yunshen met Guan Xuejiang and Guo Luming, and then recounted the conversation with Zhao Ya while drinking.

After hearing this, Guan Xuejiang laughed and said, "This boy is really naughty."

Guo Luming frowned slightly, "Junior brother, do you really plan to start clearing up the accumulated shortcomings through this matter?"

"Of course, I have thought about it for a long time and this is already the best way. What's wrong, senior brother, do you have a different opinion?"

"That's not true. I just think that by doing this, we are using Zhao Ya as a gun?" Guo Luming said.

"Yes." Guan Xuejiang did not hide it, but admitted it directly.

Not only that, he also said: "In fact, not only do we know this, but Zhao Ya himself also knows this."

"But who made him so ambitious that he insisted on becoming your disciple? If you want to get something, you have to pay the corresponding price. This is necessary. He also understands this, so he agreed so simply and neatly."

"Well, I'm just worried. After all, this Zhao Ya's talent is the only one I've ever seen in my life. If something goes wrong, it will be a big loss to our Canglong Temple."

"Don't worry, with Yun Shen and I here, his safety is absolutely guaranteed. And didn't you say before that although this kid hasn't opened his pulse yet, with his current strength, he can't beat him and run away. It's a problem." Guan Xuejiang said.

"Then why don't you wait until the New Year is over before taking action?" Guo Luming said.

Guan Xuejiang understood that his senior brother was still a little reluctant to let go, and couldn't help but smile.

"Because it is natural to collect debts at the end of the year, those guys will not be suspicious. In addition, this is the time when their vigilance is at its lowest. It is just the right time to take this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on them."

"As long as the lease rights are obtained, I can start planning to build the outer door next."

Zhao Ya worked hard for most of the night and only slept for an hour before getting up.

Even so, after a simple wash, Zhao Ya was still in high spirits.

When we came out, the sky was very overcast, the cold wind was howling non-stop, and it was likely to snow soon.

In this kind of weather, who wouldn’t want to lie in bed and sleep.

But Zhao Ya doesn't have that time. Now there are only four or five days left before the New Year. If he wants to complete the task, he must rush before the new year.

Just as Zhao Ya packed up his application tools and was about to go down the mountain, Gui Xuanqing came.

"Senior brother, let me go with you."
