Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 16

Diao Buyu took out the knife.

His saber was faster than Cao Shaoqin's sword.He remembered Qin Zhiyong's words and chopped Cao Shaoqin like a fat sheep.

Knife light flickered.

The kitchen knife cut Cao Shaoqin's left hand and left leg, and pieces of meat flew across, but Cao Shaoqin didn't feel the slightest pain.

Diao Buyu's knife is too fast.So fast that Cao Shaoqin was unconscious.

Cao Shaoqin's goal is Qin Zhiyong.When he realized that his actions were a little uncoordinated, he looked down and was terrified.His left hand and leg were chopped into bones.

However, the speed of the sword in his hand did not decrease, and it still stabbed at Qin Zhiyong's heart.

Ideas are very magical things.As long as the mind is strong enough, even a weak body can burst out with great strength.A thin mother, in order to protect her child from harm, can burst out with great strength and fight gangsters to death.

It's just that this magical "power" can only appear for a moment, burst out in an instant, and is out of control.

It is simply impossible for ordinary people to use such power continuously.

Qin Zhiyong's current state is that his mind is bursting, his thinking is running fast, and his body is bursting out with unprecedented strength.

Qin Zhiyong turned sideways, avoiding the long sword, and pulled out the boning knife from his waist, and pointed it at Cao Shaoqin's wrist.Qin Zhiyong felt that his knife was very ordinary, just like chopping vegetables in the kitchen.

But in the eyes of Cao Shaoqin, Diao Buyu, Zhou Huaian, Jin Xiangyu, and Qiu Moyan, it was very terrifying.

Qin Zhiyong's movements were too smooth, like flowing clouds and flowing water.

First of all, this knife is too fast.It was almost comparable to the speed of Diao Buyu's knife.Second, Qin Zhiyong's eyes didn't have the slightest wave, his demeanor changed from panic at the beginning to calmness.Third, the timing of the knife was grasped too well.

The demeanor of Qin Zhiyong's knife is too amazing.

Even if Cao Shaoqin wanted to change his moves temporarily, he couldn't do it in time.

Swish.

The tip of the boning knife broke the tendons in Cao Shaoqin's right hand.Cao Shaoqin's long sword fell to the ground.

"what."

Cao Shaoqin let out a painful scream.

The feeling of pain finally reached his brain.At this moment, his hands and left foot are useless, and he has lost [-]% of his combat power.

Bang.

Cao Shaoqin hit Qin Zhiyong and sent him flying.

Qin Zhiyong spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.

"Qin Zhiyong!"

Jin Xiangyu shouted loudly.

Zhou Huaian pierced Cao Shaoqin's throat with a sword.

Jin Xiangyu said angrily: "What kind of bullshit, Dugong, I let you die without a whole body." Two throwing knives flew out of Jin Xiangyu's hands, and Cao Shaoqin's head was cut off.

Cao Shaoqin was cautious and never underestimated Zhou Huaian, Jin Xiangyu and others.He just underestimated Diao Buyu, the butcher, and Qin Zhiyong, who didn't know how to be strong.

Just one negligence, and you lose.

Cao Shaoqin deceived the emperor, and his power was poured into the government and the public. All the ministers who opposed him died.He has won all his life.Lost just this once.

In a duel between masters, losing means death.

Jin Xiangyu ran to Qin Zhiyong's side and asked with concern: "Qin Zhiyong, how are you?"

Qin Zhiyong said weakly: "Miss Boss, I still can't die. It's just that my whole body hurts badly. Cao Shaoqin's bump seemed to break all my muscles and bones."

Jin Xiangyu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said happily: "It's good if you can't die. Your knife just now was really powerful. Qin Zhiyong, you are a good guy. It's unbelievable that you can hurt Cao Shaoqin. I just said , you will definitely have the opportunity to become a peerless master in the future."

Qin Zhiyong closed his eyes.

He consumed too much energy and energy, and passed out.Before he fell into a coma, he vaguely heard Jin Xiangyu's cry.

………………

Qin Zhiyong woke up again and found himself lying in a private house.

Jin Xiangyu came in with a medicine bowl and said with a smile, "I'm awake. You can really sleep."

Now the gold inlaid jade is wearing a traditional skirt, not the coquettish and explicit dress before.

People rely on clothes.

The current temperament of gold inlaid jade has a bit of ladylike feeling.

Qin Zhiyong felt that it was good to wear it like this.

"How long have I been asleep?" Qin Zhiyong asked.

Jin Xiangyu said: "Today is the fourth day."

Qin Zhiyong was shocked.has it been so long?

Jin Xiangyu said: "Come on, drink the medicine first. We have already returned to the territory of Daming. It is safe."

Qin Zhiyong took the medicine bowl and said gratefully: "Thank you, lady boss. By the way, where are Zhou Daxia and Qiu Nvxia?"

Jin Xiangyu said: "They still have things to do. We separated as soon as we entered Daming. The children of Master Yang Yuxuan are still waiting for them to settle down. Although Cao Shaoqin is dead, Dongchang will not give up chasing and killing Zhou Huaian. According to As far as I know, Wan Yulou in the East Factory and Yuhuatian in the West Factory are all top masters who are unique in a million. Zhou Huaian and Qiu Moyan's life in the future may not be easy. Unless they hide their names."

Both Zhou Huaian and Qiu Moyan are chivalrous in their hearts, and they will definitely take care of things they are not used to.Will they hide their names and live the lives of ordinary people?

Absolutely not.

Qin Zhiyong finished drinking the medicine and said, "It's good that Zhou Daxia and Qiu Nvxia are not in danger for the time being. Ma'am, where are we now?"

Jin Xiangyu said with a smile: "My hometown. I discussed with the shopkeeper and Diao Buyu that we will open an inn in the county. It's not a black shop. I plan to do serious business. You, Mr. Qin, study with peace of mind, and strive to get a reputation as soon as possible .Be a good officer."

Qin Zhiyong smiled wryly.You can take the merit test.But being an official is really not my ambition.

Self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.

To do something for the common people does not necessarily have to be an official.

………………

The hometown of gold and jade, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, has a beautiful environment and is suitable for health preservation.

morning.

Qin Zhiyong got up, washed up, and practiced boxing in the yard.His movements became even slower.However, his every move is very standard.At first glance, it feels like this is how Taizu Changquan should be practiced.

Facing the sword stabbed by Cao Shaoqin, Qin Zhiyong's psychological quality suddenly improved, and his state of mind barely entered the level of "settling".However, Qin Zhiyong drew that amazing knife, and after overcoming the danger, his spiritual realm returned.

The moment Qin Zhiyong entered into "settling", the world he observed was different from usual.Everything around is too clear.It seems that I can control everything.

Qin Zhiyong felt that at that time, he was not a human being, but a god, a fairy.That feeling is really wonderful.At that time, my thinking speed was ten times faster than usual.

After his mood changed, Qin Zhiyong seemed to have transformed from a god into a man, his thinking was slow, and his mind was a little muddled.

"I still can't enter the state of 'fixation' at will according to my own will. However, I have experienced that wonderful feeling. As long as the heart is sincere and the thoughts are pure, the will will be firmer, and the spirit will be constantly nourished and tempered. Exercise my body, sooner or later, my state of mind will truly reach the level of 'settling'."

Qin Zhiyong's physical fitness is not strong enough.His physique is not enough to support the rapid operation of mental thinking.

If you really need to enter the state of "settling" a few more times, maybe Qin Zhiyong's body will collapse.

Cultivation must be like walking on thin ice, step by step, and it will happen naturally, without any sloppy or fluke.

If you are lucky and eager for quick success, it is an act of courting death.

Two months later, Qin Zhiyong recovered from his injury.

His physique is stronger.

When I came to the county seat, I found gold inlaid jade in an inn.

Now Jin Xiangyu is the proprietress of this inn.

Diao Buyu was still working as a cook and butcher.

Jin Xiangyu asked: "Didn't you study and practice boxing at home today?"

Qin Zhiyong said, "Miss Boss, I'm here to say goodbye."

Jin Xiangyu frowned and asked, "You want to leave. Why? Is it not good to live here?"

Qin Zhiyong said: "Miss Boss, don't get me wrong. It's not that living in your house is bad. As the saying goes, it's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. My injury has healed up. I plan to go out to study and gain knowledge."

Qin Zhiyong had the intention of leaving, so it was meaningless to force him to stay.Jin Xiangyu said: "I'm tired from studying outside, so I'll come back. My mother will stay in my hometown from now on and won't leave again."

Qin Zhiyong nodded.

Qin Zhiyong only took away the Four Books and Five Classics, and two sets of clothes.

Jin Xiangyu looked at Qin Zhiyong's back and said, "There is no banquet in the world that lasts forever. I don't know, will this kid Qin Zhiyong come back in the future?"

The shopkeeper walked to Jin Xiangyu's side and said, "A person like Qin Zhiyong can't keep a low profile. He will definitely shine in the future. Whether he comes back or not, we will be able to hear about him in the future."

Jin Xiangyu nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right. I'm just waiting for the day when Qin Zhiyong will become famous."

………………

Qin Zhiyong studied abroad for half a year, his mind became purer and his psychological quality became stronger.He has a deeper understanding of Confucianism.

A few days ago, Qin Zhiyong was finally able to flexibly control the joints on his spine.He practiced boxing every day, cultivated his mind, and finally stretched his muscles and bones.

Now Qin Zhiyong's body shape is very different from before.His body is well-proportioned and coordinated, without the bulging muscles like a bodybuilder, but full of streamlined beauty.Just like a cheetah, it has powerful explosive power.

Qin Zhiyong can now be regarded as a warrior.It's a pity that he still hasn't developed his inner strength.

Unknowingly, Qin Zhiyong came to Chenjiagou, Wen County, Henan.

What surprised Qin Zhiyong was that the villagers in Chenjiagou were all dressed in the Qing Dynasty.Men wear long braids.Qin Zhiyong was wearing clothes from the Ming Dynasty, and his hair was short, which made him look different and out of tune with the surrounding environment.

As soon as Qin Zhiyong entered Chenjiagou, he was surrounded by children from the village.

A young man disguised as a man walked up to Qin Zhiyong.Beside her was a beautiful young girl.

The young man disguised as a man looked at Qin Zhiyong in surprise, and asked, "Who is the young master? What is the purpose of coming to Chenjiagou?"

Qin Zhiyong clasped his fists and said, "I, Qin Zhiyong, is a scholar. You have studied here. Dare to ask the names of the two girls."

The expression on the face of the young man disguised as a man froze. How could he be seen through by the person in front of him when he disguised himself as a man?
The girl next to her covered her mouth and snickered.

The young man disguised as a man said: "My name is Chen Shaoqi. This is my cousin, Liu Ruoshi. Since Mr. Qin is here to travel, I will take you to see my father first."

Qin Zhiyong asked: "Dare to ask who is the girl's father?"

Chen Shaoqi said: "My father, Chen Zhengying, is the head of our village."

……

The next volume, The Grandmaster of Tai Chi.Yun Shan felt that the Tai Chi Grandmaster starring Wu Jing back then was very classic and fully expressed the essence of Tai Chi.Hope everyone likes it.
