Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 180
Dongfang Bubai left, the Commander left, Qin Zhiyong finished what he was supposed to do, and it was time to leave Songshan.

The heads and leaders of other sects stayed behind to discuss with Sun Qian how to manage the Jianghu martial arts.They may stay in Songshan for another month or so.

Sun Qian sent Qin Zhiyong down the mountain.

Now Sun Qian is the leader of the martial arts alliance and has been recognized by the emperor. She is equivalent to a second-rank official and can come to Beijing to meet the emperor at any time.

Her status in the arena and martial arts can be said to be supreme.There are only a handful of people who can let her see her off in person.

Sun Qian said: "Brother, after you go down the mountain this time, are you going to the capital? I heard from the Commander that you may be promoted."

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "I'll go back to Fuzhou Mansion first, and then I plan to resign from the office."

Sun Qian asked in surprise, "Resign?"

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said: "Xian'er, you have already become the leader of the martial arts, and there is not much I can do. I plan to retreat for a while."

Qin Zhiyong's state of mind is always a little bit far from the level of "quietness".The state of mind in samadhi was not satisfactory and could not break through. Qin Zhiyong has never found the reason.He wants to retreat, check for leaks and make up for gaps, so that his state of mind can improve again.

As soon as the two went down the mountain, they saw Lin Pingzhi blocking the way of the young disciples of the Qingcheng sect.

Qin Zhiyong frowned slightly.It seems that Lin Pingzhi is ready to kill.

Sun Qian looked at Lin Pingzhi and said, "Brother, Brother Lin..."

Qin Zhiyong said: "Let's go, let's go and have a look. In the future, there will be many unruly people like Lin Pingzhi in the martial arts world. Qian'er, your task is very heavy, and you must be busy."

It is not easy to be a martial arts leader.Of course, if you don't care about things and dawdle, that's another story.

Seeing Qin Zhiyong and Sun Qian approaching, Lin Pingzhi clasped his fists with a smile and said, "Lin Pingzhi has seen Junior Sister and Master Qin."

The little apprentice and others hurriedly said respectfully: "I have seen the leader, I have seen Lord Qin."

Qin Zhiyong said to the little apprentices, "I'll take you back to Mount Qingcheng."

Originally, Qin Zhiyong planned to return directly to Fuzhou Mansion.Seeing that the little apprentices are in trouble now, the only option is to send them back to Mount Qingcheng first.Otherwise, they would definitely die under Lin Pingzhi's sword on the way.

The little apprentice said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

Qin Zhiyong walked less than 20 meters with his young apprentice and others, when Lin Pingzhi said, "Master Qin, you can protect the Qingcheng faction for a while, but you can't protect them forever."

Qin Zhiyong stopped, turned around, and looked at Lin Pingzhi.

Facing Qin Zhiyong's peaceful gaze, Lin Pingzhi's heart skipped a beat, and his pressure doubled immediately.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Lin Pingzhi, Yu Canghai was the culprit in the massacre of the Fuwei Escort Bureau. Yu Canghai is dead, and Mu Gaofeng was also killed by your sword. The great revenge of your Lin family can be regarded as revenge. Qingcheng These teenagers sent have low martial arts skills, and they don't know anything about your Lin family's affairs. You kill them, except to show your violence, it has no meaning? Listen to my advice, don't kill people again. With your martial arts and swordsmanship, Going back and rebuilding Fuwei Escort Bureau is not difficult."

There was a sneer in Lin Pingzhi's eyes, and it was impossible for him to give up revenge.

To Lin Pingzhi, the people of the Qingcheng faction were alive, and it was like a thorn in his throat. Only when the Qingcheng faction was wiped out could he speak freely.

Sun Qian said: "Brother Lin, my little sister, I will not let you mess around as I am the leader of the martial arts. Now the martial arts is different from before. If you kill people again, it will be very difficult for me. At that time, don't say little sister If you don’t think of fellowship, I’m not polite to you.”

Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "As long as I can get revenge, it doesn't really matter what happens to me."

The hatred in Lin Pingzhi's heart was too deep.He couldn't listen to anyone's words.

Sun Qian wanted to continue talking.

Qin Zhiyong waved his hand and told Sun Qian to stop talking.

"Lin Pingzhi, you've made up your mind, so I can't let you continue killing people." Qin Zhiyong said, "You're right, I can't protect them forever. Even if I send the Qingcheng faction back to Mount Qingcheng, you still can't kill them." You can come to kill them. If that's the case, then you can come back to Fuzhou City with me."

Resentment, anger, and unwillingness are negative psychological emotions.It is not easy to eliminate negative emotions.However, Lin Pingzhi's mentality actually has great research value.

Keep Lin Pingzhi under Qin Zhiyong's nose, and he won't be able to kill people.

Lin Pingzhi's face twisted, and he laughed loudly: "Qin Zhiyong, are you going to put me under house arrest?"

Clang.

Lin Pingzhi drew out his long sword and pointed at Qin Zhiyong.

Sun Qian said: "Brother Lin, what are you doing? Do you want to fight Brother Qin? Put the sword away."

Qin Zhiyong said: "Xian'er, let him attack. The evil sword technique is the sword technique created by Lin Yuantu. Back then, Lin Yuantu relied on this set of sword techniques to become the number one sword in the world. Lin Pingzhi's martial arts sword technique has not yet been surpassed." He has practiced well. Compared with Lin Yuantu, he is far behind. If it were Lin Yuantu, I might be afraid of three points."

Lin Pingzhi turned into an afterimage and attacked Qin Zhiyong.The speed was so fast that the little apprentices of the Qingcheng faction could not see clearly. Faced with such an attack, they could only be instantly killed.

But Lin Pingzhi's speed, in the eyes of Qin Zhiyong and Sun Qian, is not fast, it can only be said to be average.

Qin Zhiyong did not evade, but used the innate qi to protect his body, blocking Lin Pingzhi's long sword attack.

The long sword pierced Qin Zhiyong's chest three inches away, but it couldn't go in again.

Now that Qin Zhiyong's internal strength has reached a high level, the innate stellar qi is fully two feet thick, like a solid shield.Qin Zhiyong's innate stellar energy couldn't stop Dongfang Bubai's full blow, but it was no problem to block Lin Pingzhi's long sword attack.

Qin Zhiyong flicked the tip of the sword lightly with his finger, only to see the tiny blue lightning flashed away, and Lin Pingzhi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Qin Zhiyong grabbed the long sword, broke it, and said: "Lin Pingzhi, you are not my opponent. Come with me and go back to Fuzhou City. From now on, don't use your sword again. Otherwise, your lifespan will continue. loss."

Lin Pingzhi was unwilling, but the situation was stronger than others, so he could only follow Qin Zhiyong back to Fuzhou City.

Lin Pingzhi knew that Qin Zhiyong was very powerful, possibly stronger than himself, but he didn't expect that even if Qin Zhiyong stood still and allowed himself to attack, the long sword would not be able to hurt him at all.

To be an enemy of Qin Zhiyong is really desperate.

………………

Back to Fuzhou City.

Lin Pingzhi lived in the escort agency, and Qin Zhiyong threw him a copy of "University" and asked him to copy it every day.

Must be written in block letters.

Qin Zhiyong did this to temper Lin Pingzhi's character and at the same time dissolve the hatred in his heart.

If you want to write regular script fonts well, you need to be calm.If you are impatient, you will write regular script as "cursive script".

It's not that Lin Pingzhi never thought of running away, but under Qin Zhiyong's nose, he couldn't escape at all.

Even if Lin Pingzhi quietly left the city in the middle of the night, Qin Zhiyong would definitely be waiting for him in front of him.

In Lin Pingzhi's eyes, Qin Zhiyong was no longer a human being, but a god-like existence.

Qin Zhiyong asked Lin Pingzhi to copy the book, and he was also studying "The Doctrine of the Mean".

"Why can't my state of mind reach the level of 'quiet'?"

Qin Zhiyong asked himself.

It wasn't until half a month later that Qin Zhiyong accidentally read Xunzi's "Encouraging Learning", and he had a whim and realized something.

It turned out that I did not have a "teacher".

Qin Zhiyong has studied Confucianism for many years, but in fact he has no teacher.Moreover, what he learned was a bit messy, and his thinking was not pure.

He learned the knowledge of Confucius, he also learned the knowledge of Mencius, and he was learning the knowledge of Dong Zhongshu, Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming and others.

Knowledge should be inclusive of all rivers and take its essence.

But Qin Zhiyong's ideological realm is not enough.

If the realm is low and the sea is open to all rivers, the thoughts will be mixed, which is a taboo for learning.

Qin Zhiyong decided to "apprenticeship" first.Concentrate on comprehending a knowledge.

Since you want to be a teacher, you must have the most powerful person as your teacher.Confucius, Xunzi, and Wang Yangming are all great ancient sages and sages, and they are all qualified to be Qin Zhiyong's teachers.

However, Qin Zhiyong finally chose Mencius as his teacher.Because Mencius put forward "I am good at cultivating the awe-inspiring spirit", which raised the self-cultivation to a supreme level.

When Qin Zhiyong read books, he regarded self-cultivation as the foundation.

It is absolutely right to choose Mencius as a teacher.

Mencius has passed away for 2000 years, so of course it is impossible to personally teach Qin Zhiyong.But the books and works written by Mencius are still there.

The ancient sages and sages spent their entire lives writing books, which are the crystallization of the wisdom of the sages.

As long as one studies "Mencius" in depth and absorbs the essence of Mencius' thoughts, then Qin Zhiyong's thinking is equivalent to traveling to the pre-Qin era and accepting the inheritance of Mencius.

Qin Zhiyong devoted himself to studying "Mencius", cultivating his mind and nourishing his energy.

After half a year.

One day, Qin Zhiyong was blessed to the heart, and his state of mind finally came to fruition, reaching the state of "quietness".
