Chapter 53 The song ends and everyone disperses
In the evening, Guo Jing and Huang Rong returned to the place where everyone gathered.

The two of them thanked Wang Ming a lot, which made Wang Ming annoyed. It was getting late, so he suggested going back to the Siguo Cliff Cave where they had rested last night to rest for the night and then go down the mountain and return tomorrow.

Naturally, everyone had no objection. It was almost dark. Mount Huashan has been famous for its steepness since ancient times. It was quite challenging to go down the mountain in the dark.

No one had much interest in chatting at night, mainly because the battle during the day was too intense and everyone hadn't recovered from their losses, so there was no mood to chat.

Early the next morning,
"Mochou! You don't have to follow me back to the Valley of Jueqing. Let's go to Lujiazhuang in Jiangnan!" Wang Ming said to Li Mochou alone.

"Master! I swore that I would never seek revenge on them before the time comes." Li Mochou said with a strange look on his face.

In fact, she wanted to ask Wang Ming to go with her, as she felt that she was still no match for the monk from Tianlong Temple.

"Lu Zhanyuan is almost dying of illness, let's go see him!" Wang Mingdao said.

Upon hearing this, Li Mochou's eyes suddenly widened and she looked extremely shocked.

"Impossible, impossible. As far as I can remember, he didn't show any signs of being seriously ill." Li Mochou was still reluctant to believe this fact.

In fact, Li Mochou did not hate Lu Zhanyuan as much as imagined. As long as Lu Zhanyuan surrendered, she would not kill He Yuanjun.

"For details, go and ask yourself! I won't go on like that. Try not to implicate innocent people. The rest is up to you!" Wang Ming reminded Li Mochou.

"Master! I'll go ahead." Li Mochou said goodbye to Wang Ming.

"Ok!"

Li Mochou's mind is a little confused now, and her mood is very complicated, but none of these is as important as going to Jiaxing Lujiazhuang to see him.

Li Mochou then left the Siguo Cliff Cave and went directly down the mountain path of Mount Hua.

Wang Ming sighed as he watched Li Mochou leave. If she couldn't resolve Lu Zhanyuan's knot, her achievements would eventually stop there. It would be a waste of time to take this disciple in. He could only be a pure tool, not qualified to inherit his legacy in this world.

There is no use thinking too much. Outsiders can't help with emotional matters. If you can let it go, then let it go. If you can't, you will torture yourself day after day.

He turned around and looked into the cave, thought about it, and decided to give up.

He wrote a message of departure on a branch in the cave and followed Li Mochou down the mountain.

Wang Ming didn't want to say goodbye to them in person, but it would be another long and sad farewell. Why bother? It would be better to just leave them alone.

...............

Wang Ming did not return to the Jueqing Valley, but lived temporarily in a forest for a few days.

"Huh! I finally broke through the innate realm, and it feels really different." Wang Ming sat cross-legged on a giant stone.

Eager to digest what he had gained, he found a place nearby and began his retreat.

"What level of martial arts is this Xiantian Gong? Why can't I break through the ninth level even though I'm at the Xiantian realm now?" Wang Ming was a little confused at this time but he didn't dwell on it for long.

"Huh! There are still people in this mountain?" After Wang Ming broke through to his innate ability, his senses became more sensitive than before, and he heard the sound of people fighting.

So, he used his Qinggong skills to go and when he arrived at the place, the battle was over. Among the people who fought, there were familiar faces, weren't they the young couple Guo Jing and Huang Rong?
When he saw it was them, he was about to leave, but what he heard in his ear caught his attention.

The strange woman cried, "Brother Guo, please give this child a name."

Guo Jing thought for a while and said, "I became sworn brothers with his father, but it was a pity that he didn't have a good ending. I didn't fulfill my duty as a friend, which is the regret of my life. But I hope that this child will correct his mistakes when he grows up and practice benevolence and righteousness. I will give him the name Yang Guo, and the courtesy name is Gaizhi. What do you think?"

The woman thanked him and said, "I hope it's as Brother Guo said."

Wang Ming in the distance thought to himself: "This woman should be Mu Nianci, Yang Guo!!!"

They were standing side by side and chatting, when Wang Ming suddenly appeared behind them, scaring the three of them. Guo Jing naturally did not dare to say anything, and even saluted Huang Rong, then said to Mu Nianci: "Sister Mu! This is my husband Wang Ming, who won the first place in the Huashan Sword Contest a few days ago."

Mu Nianci was shocked when she heard this. She was not an ignorant person, so she naturally understood the importance of the Huashan Sword Contest. She immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Junior Mu Nianci greets you, senior."

"Yes! Let me see the child!" Wang Ming nodded and reached out to take the child in her arms.

Mu Nianci's heart suddenly tightened. After all, anyone would feel uneasy if a stranger wanted their child. But after looking at Guo Jing, she still handed the child in her arms to Wang Ming.

Wang Ming took it and examined little Yang Guo by touching his bones. He concluded that he had great talent, the best he had ever seen, and a smile began to appear on his face.

"You are a talented kid. I would like to take you in as my disciple. What do you think?" Wang Ming said kindly.

"Ah!" There were three exclamations at once.

Wang Ming was also surprised for a moment, but then he understood.

"By the way, Guo Jing is also my apprentice. It would indeed mess up the generations to accept this child. So let me take charge and accept him on behalf of my apprentice Li Mochou. What do you think?" Wang Ming continued.

"Sister Mu, hurry up and agree to it. This is a great thing." Guo Jing said hurriedly. He felt a little guilty towards Yang Kang. He thought that Yang Kang's death was because he failed to make him stop in time. He felt relieved about his future if he could become a disciple of Junior Sister Mochou.

Mu Nianci was not a fool and agreed immediately.

But just when Wang Ming suggested to follow him back to Jueqing Valley, Mu Nianci suddenly got into trouble and said to everyone: "I had planned to go to Jiaxing Iron Spear Temple first to see his father's grave."

"This is easy. You go to the Iron Spear Temple in Jiaxing, and then go to Lu Zhanyuan's Lujiazhuang in Jiaxing. Li Mochou happens to be there." Wang Ming helped Mu Nianci solve this problem, and then Wang Ming taught Mu Nianci a mantra of "Phantom Sword" and asked her to use it as proof when they met.

"What are you two doing here?" Wang Ming saw that Guo Jing and Huang Rong were wearing clothes that showed signs of being in a hurry.
"Sir, the Khan wants to attack our Song Dynasty. I plan to help the Song Dynasty resist the Mongolian invasion." Guo Jing said.

Wang Ming looked Guo Jing up and down, and couldn't help but think of the saying "The greatest heroes serve their country and their people."

"Guo Jing, let's go tomorrow!" Wang Ming sighed helplessly.

Guo Jing naturally obeyed. Besides, it was already late, so he planned to rest here for a night before setting off again.

At night, Wang Ming took Guo Jing out of the wooden house alone and began to teach Guo Jing the mantra of "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art". Guo Jing's comprehension was average, but this guy had a great ability to memorize things.

Wang Ming is no longer afraid to teach others the "Indestructible Vajra Skill". I'm afraid no one in this world can practice the eighth level. The first seven levels take about thirty years to practice, and the eighth level can't be expected without sixty years. It's as bad as the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill".

The seventh level of "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" is not more advanced than the "Nine Yin Scriptures". What makes it qualitatively different are the next two levels. However, it has an advantage, that is, it is the middle dantian, which allows people to practice both.

Don't think that Wang Ming is rubbish because he could only block Ouyang Feng's attacks five times on Mount Hua. That was a challenge beyond his level. It was amazing that he could block five times! Now that they are both innate, it would be no problem for Ouyang Feng to hit him fifty times.

This time Guo Jing went to defend Xiangyang City. The dangers in the chaotic army were unpredictable, so he was left to defend himself.

As for defending the city together?

Wang Ming was not interested! He had not received the favor of the Zhao emperor, so he was not willing to sacrifice his life for the emperor. He was simply mentally ill.

The Song Dynasty’s biggest enemy was not the Mongols, but the aristocratic families who profited from the Song Dynasty.

The eternal curse of the dynasty - land annexation.

Unequal distribution of resources is extremely serious at the end of every dynasty.

If there were no problems with the bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty, the fighting power of the Han people would not be weaker than that of the Mongols.

Wang Ming was not Zhuge Kongming and did not have the ability to sort out the country's ills, so he did not want to do useless work.
