Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 190
There is no shop in front of the village or behind the village.

A middle-aged scribe in coarse cloth held a sign reading "Magic Supremacy in Linen" and stood by the side of the road to solicit business.

This middle-aged scribe was named "Liu Ji".Speaking of Liu Ji, you may find it a bit unfamiliar, but his character is Bowen.People in the village often call him Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen has just resigned from office and is living a semi-reclusive life. His son Liu Lian was born last month.

The birth of his son filled Liu Bowen with joy.He turned this joy into motivation for reading, as if he had been blessed by the ancient sages, not only was he full of energy, but also his memory was doubled, reaching the level of never forgetting.

What I didn't understand in the book before, now I can understand it all at once.

Liu Bowen was smart and eager to learn when he was a child, and he read a lot of books. He was a scholar at the age of 12.

The folks call him "Supernatural Power".

After becoming an official, Liu Bowen was upright, and saw the darkness of the Yuan court and the evil gentry.

It's a pity that no matter how knowledgeable Liu Bowen is, he has wisdom comparable to Zhuge Kongming, but his personal power is too small to change the status quo of the whole society.The only thing he can do is to be alone and not to join forces with those corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry.

As he grew older, Liu Bowen saw things more and more thoroughly.

The Mongolian and Yuan courts were corrupt, Yuan soldiers even burned, killed and looted the people, and officials oppressed the people, making the people miserable.

The court's unpopularity is a sign of doom.

Liu Bowen is waiting for the Ming Lord to appear and come out to assist.

today.

Liu Bowen had a whim, and felt that he could meet an important person here.

Otherwise, even if Liu Bowen is really the descendant of the maixiangshi, he would not come to this mountain path to solicit business.Staying here for half a month, I'm afraid I won't be able to attract a single business, so I can only drink the northwest wind.

A young man with a big knife appeared in sight.

It was Qin Zhiyong.

Looking at Qin Zhiyong, Liu Bowen felt that he was the one he was waiting for.Ordinary people don't have the demeanor of a jade gentleman like Qin Zhiyong.

Qin Zhiyong was surprised when he saw Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen's state of mind cultivation is actually the same as his own, which is the state of Confucian "quietness"!Liu Bowen's thoughts are purer than his own.It's just that Liu Bowen doesn't know martial arts.

Qin Zhiyong walked towards Liu Bowen, before he could speak.Liu Bowen clasped his fists and said, "Young master, you have such a noble fate. Would you like me to do the divination for you?"

In fact, Liu Bowen was also very surprised.

The moment he saw Qin Zhiyong, he knew that Qin Zhiyong's life was priceless.This kind of nobility does not refer to status and wealth, but to the inner temperament and mental state of the person.

The ancients all believed in fate.

A person with a noble fate, even if he is temporarily down, will one day become a blockbuster.Just like Liu Bang, who was originally an old ruffian in the countryside, a mere pavilion chief, who has achieved nothing in his 40s.But who would have expected that he could get the assistance of Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin, Fan Kui and others to establish the Han Dynasty?
Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Han Xin... are all real talents.They are willing to assist Liu Bang, so Liu Bang must have something special.

Qin Zhiyong's temperament is like jade, his spirit is like jade, and his body is spotless, like a sage who has attained the Tao.This kind of tolerance and spirit has surpassed the state of ordinary scholars.

Liu Bowen was really shocked.

Qin Zhiyong had a gentle face, and said with a smile: "Fortune-telling? I think it's better to forget it. Fate is destined, and the only thing that can be changed is luck. As the saying goes, if you want to change your luck, you can only rely on yourself. I He is just an ordinary person, so how can he have a noble fate? In my opinion, my friend, you are not a fortune teller, but a real scholar. Confucian student Qin Zhiyong, I have met my brother, so I am polite here."

Qin Zhiyong could see that although the scribe in front of him had a pure mind and a state of mind comparable to his own, he didn't know how to use the power of the mind.

Thinking about it, he relied on his talent to reach this level of spiritual realm.

Qin Zhiyong reached his current state of mind through practicing like walking on thin ice.But the person in front of him doesn't know how strong his own state of mind is.

However, talent is something that God rewards and eats, so you can't envy it.

Liu Bowen saluted and said: "My name is Liu Ji, whose name is Bowen. I have met Brother Qin. Today Liu came here on a whim and waited for the nobleman. I didn't expect Brother Qin to appear so soon. Liu was sure when he saw Brother Qin. You are the one I am waiting for."

Liu Bowen?
Qin Zhiyong secretly said: "No wonder this person's cultivation base is so high. It's actually Liu Bowen. That's not surprising."

Liu Bowen was a writer, thinker, and military strategist in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties.

The state of mind cultivation is not unique to martial artists.

Writers, painters, scientists, and thinkers are actually more likely to cultivate their mental state.Because of exploring and seeking the Tao, there is no killing intent in my heart.And no matter how peaceful a martial artist's state of mind is, there will be a bit of murderous aura.Unless, like Qin Zhiyong, he only regards martial arts practice as a means of keeping in good health.

Sometimes Qin Zhiyong would have a whim and foresee something that would happen.However, the prediction is not very accurate, and sometimes it still makes mistakes.

A sudden whim sounds mysterious, but Qin Zhiyong felt that it belonged to the super sixth sense, but he could not grasp it.

The higher the state of mind, the stronger the sixth sense, and the more accurate the predictions will be.

Qin Zhiyong is sometimes doing research and exploration in this area.

Liu Bowen said: "Brother Qin, my house is not far from here. Why don't you come to my house as a guest, let's talk in detail, anything?"

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Okay. Then Qin would be more respectful than obedient."

After finally meeting a scholar with a similar mood as himself, Qin Zhiyong also wanted to have a chat with Liu Bowen.

"Discussing the Tao" with Liu Bowen may get some unexpected gains.

The collision of ideas can easily burst out the spark of wisdom.

In fact, the best time to practice was the pre-Qin period, when a hundred schools of thought contended across the land of China.Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism, farmers, military strategists, doctors, yin and yang schools... various thoughts and wisdom collided with each other, and a large number of sages were born.

………………

Who is Qin Zhiyong?
In the martial arts world before, there was no such person at all.But now the Dragon Slaying Knife is in his hands.

Soon, Qin Zhiyong's name spread to the ears of all major forces.

Qin Zhiyong is very young, is he a peerless master?

Some people believe it, some people don't.

Seeing is believing, hearing is believing.Without seeing Qin Zhiyong's martial arts, no one can imagine how powerful he is.Only Yin Yewang, Yin Susu, Yu Daiyan... those who have seen Qin Zhiyong make a move can appreciate his unfathomable strength.

In front of Qin Zhiyong, they performed the so-called "unique trick" of martial arts, just like three-year-old children waving candied haws in their hands, so naive and ridiculous.

Yin Susu returned to the Skyhawk Sect with a dejected face.

Seeing that her palms were wrapped in gauze, King Yin Ye frowned, and said, "Sister, you went to find Qin Zhiyong, didn't you? Do you know how dangerous it is? I've already told you that Qin Zhiyong's martial arts are strong, so it's not good." Mess. You just don't listen."

Yin Susu said: "Brother, I'm fine. Qin Zhiyong didn't make things difficult for me. But you're right, Qin Zhiyong's martial arts are too powerful. If you want to get back the Dragon Slaying Saber, you have to ask Dad to do it yourself."

Qin Zhiyong's fairy-like movement appeared in his mind, and Yin Susu wondered, would his father be his opponent?Yin Susu shook her head secretly to dismiss this idea.She always believed that her father Yin Tianzheng was the real strong and invincible existence.

No matter how strong Qin Zhiyong was, he would still be defeated by the Skyhawk Sect.
