Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 185 Let the Common People Afford Salt
Dongfang Bubai's swordsmanship has already put a lot of pressure on Qin Zhiyong, and now that she has used a hidden weapon, even if Qin Zhiyong's current state of mind is a little more advanced than hers, he is still very energetic.

The steel needle can be used as a weapon or a hidden weapon.

Hidden weapons, killing people invisible, are more secretive and vicious than swordsmanship.Many masters who have been famous for a long time in the rivers and lakes were planted on hidden weapons.

The hidden weapon Dongfang Bubai used was silent and extremely penetrating.

The steel needle was sharp, piercing the face with a point, Qin Zhiyong's innate aura couldn't stop it.According to Qin Zhiyong's estimate, the power of Dongfang Bubai's steel needle attack might not be less than that of a pistol bullet.

Qin Zhiyong took a deep breath, and immediately relaxed his slightly nervous mind.Only when the mind is relaxed can the muscles and bones of the whole body be relaxed, and the nerve response speed can reach the extreme.

Otherwise, the emotions and muscles are too tense, which will affect the responsiveness and perception.

"Come again!"

Qin Zhiyong said.

Dongfang Bubai nodded and said, "Okay."

The combination of swordsmanship and hidden weapons, one light and one dark, doubles the attack power.

That is to say, Qin Zhiyong's cultivation level is high enough, and he can barely handle it. If it is someone else, even experts like Sun Qian and Feng Qingyang, they will only end up being defeated immediately.

With his hands behind his back, Qin Zhiyong no longer attacked or blocked, but used lightness kung fu to avoid.When Qin Zhiyong put all his energy on lightness kung fu and agility, his movements became smoother than before.

His every move has a certain artistic conception, which complements the surrounding environment and completely avoids Dongfang Bubai's swordsmanship and hidden weapon attacks.

Being as light as a swallow can no longer describe Qin Zhiyong's agility.He is like a dancing butterfly, and his agility amazed everyone in Dongfang Bubai, a martial arts practitioner who practiced the Sunflower Collection.

However, no matter how Qin Zhiyong's lightness kung fu changes and how flexible he is, his center of gravity remains the same.

The word "positive" is the root of Qin Zhiyong.Not only must the mind be upright, but the body must also be upright.

Qin Zhiyong's movement is like playing Go.His movement has already predicted the situation after three or five moves.

Dongfang Bubai unleashed nine sword lights in succession, combined with twelve steel needles, the attack was very fast and strange.

Qin Zhiyong still avoided them one by one calmly.

Dongfang Bubai retracted his sword, touched the ground with his toes, and floated back more than ten meters.Sweat appeared on her forehead, and she kept using her sword glow, exhausting her physical and internal energy.

Dongfang Bubai said with a smile: "Brother Qin, your lightness kung fu...is much stronger than before. Even if all arrows are fired at once, I'm afraid they won't be able to hurt you. Have you been able to achieve the 'Heaven and Man Harmony'?" an'?"

Qin Zhiyong's agility, combined with the surrounding environment of tens of meters, has achieved "the right time, the right place and the right people", which is really similar to the legendary harmony between man and nature.

Qin Zhiyong shook his head and said: "Heaven and man are one? That is the supreme realm of Taoism. I just adapt my body skills to the surrounding environment, or use a superficial use of the surrounding environment, that's all. If the harmony between man and nature is achieved I am afraid that I will become a saint."

Dongfang Bubai said: "That's how it is. Brother Qin, let's end our martial arts competition here. Your cultivation level is higher than mine. Even with your sword skills and hidden weapons, you won't be able to hurt you at all. It's meaningless to continue fighting. But , I believe that sooner or later my state of mind will surpass yours. Farewell."

Dongfang Bubai is a martial arts genius and will not admit defeat.

Qin Zhiyong clasped his fists and said, "Go slowly. I won't see you off..."

**********
Yuan Dynasty.

"Yuan Guangbo", the leader of the Haisha Gang, has been quite depressed in recent months.

A few months ago, he met a scholar named Qin Zhiyong.

In other words, Qin Zhiyong is really different from ordinary scholars. He is not pedantic, knows medicine, and can make salt.

The salt produced by Qin Zhiyong is pure and delicate, as white as snow, even better than the green salt sold by officials.

When Qin Zhiyong first produced this kind of snow salt, the Haisha Gang created a sensation.Whether it is the gang leader Yuan Guangbo or the gang members below, they are all crazy.They all thought they were going to get rich.

Such white and pure table salt, even if the price is raised ten times, people will still buy it.

However, Qin Zhiyong was not allowed to raise the price of snow salt!
"Salt is a necessity for people. The Haisha Gang wants to make salt affordable for the common people. It must not raise the price to sell it."

These are Qin Zhiyong's original words.

It is too expensive, and the common people must not be able to afford it.If these fine table salts were only used for nobles and gentry to enjoy, then what Qin Zhiyong did would be meaningless.

yesterday afternoon.

Yuan Guangbo got the news that the Dragon Slaying Knife reappeared in the world.

Rumors in the rivers and lakes: The supreme martial artist, who slays dragons with a precious sword, orders the world, and no one dares not to obey.

Although the Haisha Gang is only a small sect, which cannot be compared with the six major sects of the Central Plains, Yuan Guangbo also has ambitions, wanting to get the dragon sword and dominate the martial arts world.

Yuan Guangbo secretly summoned his confidants and said to them: "The Dragon Slaying Saber has reappeared in the Jianghu. We must get the treasured sword. However, before snatching the Dragon Slaying Saber, we have to do one more thing."

A disciple of the Haisha sect said: "Guard master, I don't know what we need to do? It's more important to snatch the dragon sword. It should be sooner rather than later."

Yuan Guangbo snorted coldly, and said, "We want the Dragon Slaying Knife. But we also want to get the formula of snow salt! Before, the leader of this gang, Jing Qin Zhiyong, was a scholar, so he didn't use force on him. But now I'm I've run out of patience. If he doesn't hand over the formula, I'll make him look good!"

One of the deputy gang leaders hesitated to speak.

When Qin Zhiyong came to the Haisha Gang, he not only made salt for the gang, but also treated everyone and taught the children in the gang to read.

It can be said that Qin Zhiyong's popularity is very good.

It's just that Qin Zhiyong didn't allow Xueyan to raise the price to sell, which blocked the gang leader's way of making money, and made the gang leader and several hall leaders very dissatisfied.

Qin Zhiyong's gentle appearance, coupled with the fact that he has never shown martial arts, everyone thinks that he is just a scholar and does not know martial arts.No one would have thought that Qin Zhiyong would be a super expert.

Everyone understands the leader's thoughts.As long as you get the formula for making salt, you can sell as much snow salt as you want, and you don't have to be controlled by others at all. Let's look at Qin Zhiyong's face.

Yuan Guangbo held a big knife and led more than 20 people to find Qin Zhiyong.

Bang.

Yuan Guangbo kicked open the door, and saw Qin Zhiyong taking the pulse of a young man.

Qin Zhiyong raised his head, glanced at Yuan Guangbo and the others, and said calmly, "Master, what's the matter with you bringing so many people with you to look for Qin so aggressively with a knife in your hand? If the leader has anything to ask about Qin, ask someone to notify you." , Qin will naturally go to see the leader."

Yuan Guangbo pointed at Qin Zhiyong with a knife, and said loudly: "Qin Zhiyong, don't do this to me. A few months ago, you were penniless and had no money to eat, so I took you in. Don't all scholars say that they must know how to repay you? Do you? Hand over the snow salt formula, otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Qin Zhiyong said: "I am very grateful to the leader for taking me in. However, when Qin came to the Haisha Gang, he didn't eat anything. I not only help you make salt, but also teach the children to read and treat everyone. The purpose of my salt making , so that the common people can afford salt. Even at the current price of salt, the gang leader has made a lot of money. As long as the gang leader agrees to Qin, the price of snow salt will never be raised, and Qin will offer the formula for making salt with both hands. .”

Yuan Guangbo nodded and said, "Okay. I promise you that the price of snow salt will never be raised. You can hand over the salt making formula."

Qin Zhiyong smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "Master, you are dishonest and you are lying to me."

Yuan Guangbo laughed angrily, and said loudly: "Qin Zhiyong, I think it's your stubborn mouth, or my knife. Someone, arrest Qin Zhiyong and torture him severely. I want to see how big his mouth is. hard."

Qin Zhiyong had an elegant temperament, thin skin and tender flesh. Yuan Guangbo didn't think he could stand the torture.

　Relying on the sky to slay the dragon.New story, hope you like it.
