Martial God Development Plan
Page 117
"What about the others?" Ji Zhao's heart tightened.
“No…nothing else.” The little girl shook her head like a rattle. “That’s it. I didn’t see anything else.”
"..."
[“Lost…?!”]
[“But if it was lost, how did I travel through time?”]
Ji Zhao's mind was in a mess.
Seeing Ji Zhao so excited, the old man almost ran away in fear, but there were some questions he really had to ask, so he asked, "Young man...?"
Ji Zhaoqing knew that the other party was urging him to answer the question, so he suppressed his thoughts, pondered for a moment, and answered with a fist: "My father-in-law, my surname is Liu and my name is Qing. My elders died early, so I have no name. I was born in Qiuhe County in my middle age. I learned some boxing in a martial arts hall and worked hard in the escort agency to make a living. Now I was attacked by bandits and had no choice but to jump into the water to escape. That's why I'm like this... I have had an amazing physique since I was a child, and my qi and blood are vigorous, so I'm lucky to survive."
————Only a fool would give his real name.
Ji Zhao was handsome, had an extraordinary temperament, and spoke politely. The disciples and masters of Luohe Pavilion all praised him for having "the style of Liu Hanying". Although he told a lie that had no evidence and sounded ridiculous (how could a bodyguard resist such an injury), the old man was only a third-rate doctor and didn't know much about martial artists, so he believed half of it.
"I see..." the old man said, "My surname is Liu, my given name is Ku, and I am an ordinary family, so there is no such thing as having a given name or not. I am a doctor in this village. The girl who saved you is the daughter of the old Zhu family. I don't know where her father learned a name from, but he gave her an elegant name called Zhusha out of his knowledge. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Ji Zhao nodded. Although he didn't hear that name, the surname Zhu still made him guess something. He seemed to have something in mind, but he didn't show it.
He was about to speak when he suddenly saw Zhu Sha's eyes dim. Liu Ku also showed a look of regret, as if he had said something wrong. Looking carefully, he found some funeral props piled up in the corner of the yard, and he immediately knew what was going on.
[“Did your father die not long ago…?”]
Ji Zhao had basically accepted the reality of his time travel at this moment. Although he couldn't quite accept it, he had long been accustomed to the unreasonableness of reality. Compared to the sudden arrival of the 'Mirror' and the change of the entire world, at least he had long been certain of the existence of time travel, so he seemed calm. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Thank you very much, Liu Qing. I will repay you for your kindness in the future."
"I will repay you right now." Zhu Sha, who had been silent for half a day, suddenly spoke, staring straight at Ji Zhao, "You must repay me for saving your life right now."
Ji Zhao was a little stunned for a moment. He had never met such a straightforward person before. He spread his hands and said, "Miss Zhu, it's not that I don't want to, but now I have nothing..."
"I don't want money." Zhusha was a small man, but his words were very shocking. "Marry me!"
"...?"
At this moment, Ji Zhao thought of many possibilities. For example, the language of the Tai Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty was slightly different. For example, this was a dialect, but it actually had another meaning. For example, Zhu Sha said the wrong thing. For example, there was something wrong with his ears. For example...
There is no other example. Ji Zhao couldn't think of any other possibilities.
Liu Ku on the side closed his eyes and sighed to the sky, then covered his face with his hands, with a look of "I'm too embarrassed to listen to this". Ji Zhao finally confirmed that Zhu Sha was not wrong, and that was what she meant.
The man was stunned for several breaths, and finally managed to squeeze out a word from his throat.
"......ah?"
Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow and Moon: Chapter 101: Lusted after by Beauty!
In the feudal era, there was a bad habit called "eating the whole family". It meant that after a family member died, they had no children. The land and property left behind would be sold by the village gentry and exchanged for silver. Then the money would be used to set up a buffet in the village and entertain every household in the village. The banquet would last for several months at most, or a few days at least, until all the family's savings were eaten up... Of course, this is the most orthodox "eating the whole family". In addition, it also has various forms such as Jiexing Shenmou sp.
There is no need to elaborate on the status of women in the feudal era. A teenage girl like Zhusha did not have the right to make her own decisions. Now that her father has died, he has left her such a small yard. There is no need to think about what will happen next. When those so-called relatives come, they will eat up the house and the land, leaving nothing behind. Even Zhusha herself might be sold to an old bachelor under the pretext of "finding a good family"... Such things are too common these days.
An ordinary teenage girl, encountering such a thing, would not know where to start even if she had the will to resist. Many of them were still immersed in the sorrow of the death of their loved ones. When they finally came to their senses and looked back, they found that their home was gone and they had a husband who was 20 years older than them... But Zhusha was a little different. Her mother passed away early, and her father was a hunter. He had always been casual about raising his daughter. His family also raised a lot of small animals. Under the influence of these animals, Zhusha developed a slightly wild character, and was not as submissive as an ordinary woman.
However, it is useless to just have the will to resist. This is the social atmosphere today. The power of the environment is not something a little girl can resist. She must find a reason to resist in name... Without a doubt, that is her husband.
If you have a man, you have "roots" and the man is the head of the family. Naturally, those relatives who are like jackals, tigers and leopards will have no reason to take action.
After listening to Liu Ku's story, Ji Zhao roughly understood.
After Liu Ku finished explaining, he paused for a moment, but said earnestly: "Young Master Liu, don't blame me for being nosy. You just said that you have no elders in your family, and I think you are all alone. Now the escort agency has encountered such a thing, and you are injured. You will definitely not be able to go back for a while. If you go back, you will lose your job and start all over again. The daughter of the old Zhu family really saved your life. She is one of the most beautiful in this village, and her family has a lot of foundation. Look at this yard, it is not small, with three rooms. Her father's equipment is still here, and you have learned martial arts, so you will definitely have no problem doing this business. Why not marry her and stay here to live."
In feudal society, there were very few marriages that were related to love, and those who could get married "at the behest of their parents and the matchmaker" were considered to have some wealth. Sometimes there were special policies to promote population growth, and there would even be things like single taxes, or "if a woman does not marry at the age of 17, her parents will be guilty, and if a man does not marry at the age of 30, his parents will be guilty." Anyway, in those days, love was definitely nothing to do with ordinary people.
Like now, if one party is indebted to the other and happens to be in need of marriage, there is really no big problem in getting married. Anyway, the elders of both parties have passed away, so it only takes mutual consent.
Ji Zhao has been in this world for a long time and has gained quite a lot of understanding about the views on marriage in this era. After the initial shock, he reacted quickly, but gave a bitter smile, not quite sure how to respond.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "I roughly understand what Miss Zhu is thinking... But, we haven't known each other for long, isn't Miss Zhu afraid of meeting the wrong person?"
Zhu Sha's voice seemed very powerful. She said, "I don't care about these things now! I don't even have a home anymore!"
"...Then why did Miss Zhu choose me?" Ji Zhao was puzzled. "Aren't there other men of the same age in the same village? You are familiar with them, so why not choose them?"
Zhu Sha didn't answer immediately. She lowered her head, clasped her hands behind her back, tiptoed on the ground, and looked a little shy.
Liu Ku was already in his fifties or sixties, so how could he not understand? He immediately stroked his goatee and walked away.
Zhu Sha finally breathed a sigh of relief and came to Ji Zhao's side. After taking a look around, he said in a low voice, "They...are not good-looking and I hate their personalities. But you are good-looking and I am so happy when I see you."
Ji Zhao: “…”
It's really a speechless reason. After all, little girls are only in their teens and have not formed complete values. It is normal for them to like good-looking men. Moreover, even modern women in their forties or fifties will still lose their brains and get cheated of their money and houses when they meet good-looking men.
When Ji Zhao first came here, she was not so pretty. But as she became more skilled, her skin became much better. As she grew older, she completely blossomed. With the change in her temperament, her appearance was completely changed... Of course, just like the beauties in history, beauty alone is useless. She must have some connection with politics or celebrities to leave a name. The same goes for warriors. Being handsome is useless. She must be able to fight! She must have a record!
It just so happened that Ji Zhao became famous after defeating Chu Jun. So some people called him, Xiu Yiyin of the Yishan School, Hua Qiuyuan of the Taihu Family, and Ye Yulong of the Cangfeng Sect the four most handsome men of the contemporary era.
Ji Zhao naturally couldn't agree to such a request, so he said, "I'm just a passerby... How about this, I help you deal with those relatives and teach them not to bother you again?"
Zhu Sha was very disappointed when she heard this: "You...you don't want to marry me?!"
Ji Zhao nodded honestly.
He couldn't stay in this era. There were too many things he had to do. He had to find a way to return to the future... Even if he really had no other choice and gave up everything to stay in this world and this era, he would not marry such a little girl.
For ancient people, getting married at the age of thirteen or fourteen was quite normal, but Ji Zhao couldn't accept it. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he was malnourished, so thin and so small, he was basically still a child!
So, it doesn’t matter whether you like it or not, it is impossible for both parties to be together.
If an ordinary woman was rejected like this, she would be ashamed and angry and would not want to say a word, but Ji Zhao's appearance was really outstanding. Zhu Sha gritted her teeth and asked shamelessly, "Why?"
Ji Zhao shook his head and said, "Miss Zhu, don't ask anymore. I will repay you from other places."
Zhu Sha was about to speak when there was a noisy sound at the door, followed by a dozen people walking in in groups of three or four.
Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Snow and Moon: Chapter 102: This Layman Has a Connection with My Taoism
The dozen or so people looked tired and exhausted, and it seemed that they had just arrived after traveling for a while. Leading them was a middle-aged woman with broad shoulders and a thick waist. There was a lot of fat on her face, and she trembled when she walked. One could tell at a glance that she lived a good life - I'm not being sarcastic, it was not easy for an ordinary person to be this strong these days.
"Old Zhu's!" As soon as he entered the door, he started yelling, his voice was so loud and full of energy that the leaves on the side rustled. "Look at you! Your father died, why didn't you inform us relatives? You handled the funeral by yourself. If this gets out, people will stab us in the back and say that our relative died and we didn't come to help!"
Zhu Sha was furious when she heard this. When her father was seriously ill, she saw the true face of these people. Now hearing these words and seeing their hypocritical looks, she felt so disgusted that she almost vomited. Just as she was about to explode, Liu Ku on the side came out and laughed it off.
"Aunt Li," Liu Ku said, "Old Zhu suggested that the funeral should be simple. Your words are somewhat hurtful."
"Doctor Liu, I know what you mean, but the girl from the Zhu family is young and can't handle some things." The middle-aged woman's face trembled, and her eyes turned to Liu Ku, with a look of earnest advice, "Some things have to be checked by us adults, otherwise she will be alone, how can she live, don't you think so?"
"That's not what I meant..." Liu Ku whispered, "Old Zhu has ignored her since she was a child. Sometimes he goes out hunting and doesn't come back for two or three days. She can take care of herself, so I think there's no problem..."
Liu Ku was considered a scholar in this small place. He had studied for two years and therefore had some bad habits of scholars, always wanting to reason with others. But to put it bluntly, there was often no reason to reason among people in the village, and whoever had the loudest voice seemed to be more reasonable.
As expected, the middle-aged woman's already high-pitched voice immediately became even louder. She interrupted Liu Ku forcefully, and the volume scared the latter and shuddered: "Doctor Liu! You are wrong. I didn't want to say anything about Lao Zhu when he died, but since you want to mention him today, I have to say something about him. His wife ran away and gave birth to a daughter but didn't care about her. What kind of thing is this? In my opinion, he is a——"
"What is he?!"
Zhu Sha suddenly spoke at this moment, his voice was not too loud, and his eyes were staring straight at the middle-aged woman. Even a dull person could feel the meaning in his eyes.
The middle-aged woman's heart skipped a beat. Her family had many males and they were used to running rampant in the village. They were considered bullies. But when she heard these words, her heart skipped a beat and she felt a little frightened... In fact, Zhu Sha had been helping her father deal with prey since she was a child. Over the years, she had accumulated some so-called "murderous aura". If she used the panel to describe it, it was like having a level 1 Wu Wei.
But the effect of Wuwei is sometimes affected by some additional factors. Zhusha is a thin and small girl, whose waist is not as thick as the other person's arm. How can she scare people? Therefore, after being startled at the beginning, the middle-aged woman quickly got rid of the influence and became even more angry because of her retreat just now. She immediately screamed: "Is there anything else that cannot be said, he——————!"
Just at this moment, a sparrow flew by in the sky. As we all know, the cloaca of these birds is looser than that of Nantong, which can't hold feces. But with a whoosh, a lump of white feces fell from the sky and happened to land in the mouth of the middle-aged woman who was about to spray feces!
The man was stunned and licked it subconsciously. When he realized what it was, he looked devastated, pretended to vomit, and spit out saliva.
The people who came with the middle-aged woman were not of the same mind. To put it bluntly, they all wished that they would all die so that they could lick their bags. Now seeing this scene, they all couldn't help laughing.
Ji Zhao on the side withdrew his gaze... Of course, it was not such a coincidence. He just used some tricks. This was not difficult for him now. Whether it was an animal or a human, it was very easy to make them incontinent.
While those people were in a mess, Ji Zhao took back the scarlet god robe from the clothesline and put it on himself. He covered his hands with internal energy, tidied up his messy hair a little, and then sat down on the only chair in the yard... He was still in terrible pain and really didn't want to stand if he could sit.
After putting on clothes and changing his hairstyle, Ji Zhao's temperament was immediately highlighted. If it were him now, Zhu Sha would probably not dare to ask for such a request at all... The reason is nothing else but inferiority complex.
Ji Zhao waved at Zhu Sha, signaling him to come over. The latter hesitated for a moment and came to Ji Zhao's side.
"Let me help you deal with them." Ji Zhao smiled as he basked in the sun. "I can't agree to your request, but there are other ways."
Zhu Sha knew that Ji Zhao had practiced martial arts, so he hesitated and said, "You don't want to fight them off, do you? You're still injured!"
“Don’t be violent.” Liu Ku also came out from the side and advised, “Young Master Liu, you are seriously injured now. If you use your internal energy recklessly, your life will be in danger. Besides, it’s easy for you to beat them away, but after you leave, Zhu Sha will still be here. If others want to bully her, she will still have no way to deal with it. And because you are an outsider, if you use force, it will make it even more difficult for Zhu Sha to live here.”
Zhu Sha was a strong-willed person. He was originally only worried about Ji Zhao's health, but now after hearing Liu Ku's words, his rebellious thoughts emerged. He said viciously: "Don't worry about me. If they dare to force me, just beat them away!"
Ji Zhao smiled and ignored Zhu Sha, saying, "Of course I know... Doctor Liu will take care of it."
While the three were talking, the chaos on the other side gradually stopped, and the group finally noticed Ji Zhao, a handsome man with a different style.
"You...who are you?!" a man came out and asked.
Ji Zhao smiled, sat on the chair and said: "Since you are the elders of this little girl, does that mean her affairs are your affairs?"
A dozen people looked at each other, and finally the middle-aged woman came forward and agreed with this statement. After all, this was their most important excuse to seize Zhu Sha's property. If they denied it, there would be no way to predict what would happen next.
"Of course!"
"Good." Ji Zhao cosplayed as Liu Hanying and smiled faintly, "I am a Taoist from Huangshan Sanqing Temple. Today, I saw that this Ms. Zhu has a good relationship with me, so I plan to accept her as an outer disciple of Sanqing Temple and teach her martial arts and Taoism. Now this room has been given to me as a gift for becoming a disciple. Although it is a worthless room, I think it is enough. But as the saints said, Dharma is not easily passed on. This gift is not enough, and some Dharma is not convenient to pass on. Since you are her elders, why not help her give the rest of the money."
Volume 6: White Horse and Silver Spear Shining on the Moon and Snow: Chapter 103: The Big Boss Behind the Scenes Appears with Applause
If you want to protect your family property, you don't necessarily need to take such extreme measures as getting married.
In feudal society, the Confucian idea of "Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teachers" was deeply rooted in people's minds. Teachers ranked after the emperor and parents, and were above everything else. After all, if you want to learn a new skill, you can't just go online and search on Baidu. To put it bluntly, an apprentice is a slave to the master. No matter if he is beaten or scolded, as long as he wants the family property, the apprentice will offer it with both hands, and others will definitely not say anything.
Therefore, after hearing this, the group of people were immediately unhappy. They came here to get the inheritance, but you told me that there are only debts? !
Someone immediately asked Zhu Sha, "Is this true?"
Zhu Sha hesitated for a moment and nodded. In fact, whether to let Ji Zhao marry her or admit this matter now, there is a risk of inviting a wolf into the house... But this unknown risk is better than this relative who clearly wants to eat her alive! And with Ji Zhao's appearance, the woman would probably not be willing to be cheated of her money by him, and would have to hug his legs and shout a few words like "Please cheat me of my sex too..."
The middle-aged woman reacted very quickly. After hearing this, she came up with a countermeasure almost instantly. She opened her big mouth that had just been bombarded with bird droppings and shrieked in a very high voice: "Look! Look! This little girl is so ignorant. How can she survive without an adult to take care of her? Her father just died, and she is about to be swindled away with her whole family by this charlatan!"
She reacted quickly and responded correctly. Zhu Sha had already agreed that Ji Zhao was her master. So in name, they, as a group of relatives, could never compete with the master, and they could only approach from other angles... For example, as they did now, they defined Ji Zhao as a charlatan.
If the master wants the family property, the disciple has no objection, but if a swindler takes away the things, it is natural for the disciple to deny it.
When she took the lead, the people around her reacted and started to join in.
"That's right! Without an adult watching, he was immediately deceived by a charlatan!"
"The little girl can't see how this family can do. We relatives have to take care of it."
"This charlatan is really abominable. We must teach him a lesson!"
"Hey, don't tell me, this liar is really handsome. Maybe the daughter of the Zhu family volunteered!"
When he said the last sentence, there was another burst of laughter.
Ji Zhao looked normal, lazily sitting in a chair basking in the sun. Because of his injuries, his posture was a little awkward... He looked a little arrogant, as if he didn't hear what the group said, and said lightly:
"No one is willing to pay this money?"
"I'm going to hit you with a fist. Do you want to eat it?" A thin man who was as thin as a bamboo pole came out. His surname was Li, and he was the husband of the middle-aged woman. The two of them, one fat and one thin, standing together, the visual impact was really amazing. It was hard to imagine whether the man would survive after the woman took the top position. Now, this man was clenching his pitiful fist, trying to show off to Ji Zhao, but he threatened, "Little liar, you still dare to pretend here after being exposed! Get out of here quickly, otherwise you will be beaten by my grandfather, and no one will care if you report to the police!"
"Hahaha..." Ji Zhao laughed out loud for a rare time. Compared to the series of tough guys he had met, this group of people seemed a little funny because they were too weak... Ji Zhao knew that they were not good people, but sometimes it was like this. When they were weak, even resistance was funny.
Unfortunately, this smile affected the injuries on his body, causing another burst of piercing pain, which instantly dissipated most of Ji Zhao's good mood.
The man slowly put away the smile on his face, and immediately made an applause gesture - the kind of pretentious gesture that the mastermind uses when he appears on the stage after seeing the protagonist defeat his men.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound, which was accompanied by some internal breath of a specific frequency. When the sound reached the ears of the bamboo pole man, he suddenly felt dizzy and the ground under his feet seemed to have turned into a fluctuating sphere, making it impossible for him to stand. His body tilted and he fell to one side, performing a unique fall on the ground.
Other people fell on the ground, at least they fell while moving, but the bamboo man was different, he just fell down while standing, which made the middle-aged woman feel ashamed, as if she had been slapped in the face. She had a hot-tempered and strong personality and never knew how to give face to her man, so she wanted to scold him immediately, but before she could say anything, she heard another round of applause.
Snapped!
There was also a huge spinning sensation. The middle-aged woman's spherical body turned twice on the spot, and fell heavily to the ground with the momentum of a meteorite from Mount Tai, splashing a cloud of dust!
Ji Zhao clapped his hands twice, and two people fell down. If the first one was an accident, the second one would have been enough for a fool to react. The relatives were stunned, and then one of them reacted quickly, showing a look of horror and shouting, "Demon... demon magic!"
Before he could finish his words, he turned around in a hurry and tried to escape... Just then, the third applause rang out.
Snapped!
An extremely clear sound rang out, as if it came from the distant sky. It gradually became louder from a weak sound. By the time it reached everyone's ears, it had become extremely loud, and it was the only sound they could hear at this moment... When the sound that occupied all their attention disappeared, everyone except Ji Zhu Liu was already lying on the ground.
Now, not to mention the group of people who were hit, even Liu Ku, who was on the same front as Ji Zhao, was frightened and his face turned pale... People fell to the ground with just a slap of the hand, if this isn't a witchcraft, what else could it be?
To outsiders, this move was extremely strange, but to Ji Zhao, it was nothing more than a low-level use of the wrath of ghosts and gods to destroy the balance. He could even perform this move with his eyes, not to mention clapping. It should be noted that the reason why sonic martial arts are so powerful is that they do not require hands or feet. Sonic martial arts that require clapping are like a joke in battle, but in daily life, used to intimidate a group of ordinary people who have no knowledge of martial arts, that is really...
[“Should I say it’s Dongtai? Ordinary people don’t know anything about martial artists. If it was Yanchao, they might be able to guess it’s a sonic martial art.”]
Some chaotic thoughts flashed through Ji Zhao's mind.
The only one who was not afraid was probably Zhu Yu, who saved Ji Zhao's life and was fearless like a newborn calf. After seeing Ji Zhao's methods, she almost had stars in her eyes.
