Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 199
Mingjiao is under one person and above ten thousand people. Yang Xiao, the bright left envoy, defeated Yin Tianzheng, deterred Tianyingjiao, and ordered Yin Tianzheng to disband Tianyingjiao within three months, return to Mingjiao, and continue to be the White-browed Eagle King.Otherwise, Yang Xiao will be ruthless.

Yang Xiao is suave, handsome, and just in his early 30s.His martial arts cultivation has surpassed the Mingjiao's Four Great Dharma Kings by a lot.

Appearance, status, ability, and martial arts are all first-class. In the Jianghu, not to mention the rookies of the younger generation, even the seniors of the older generation, there are only a few people who can match him, Yang Xiao.

In layman's terms, Yang Xiao is the real tall, rich and handsome.He already had the fame, wealth and status that others were striving for.His only dream now is to reorganize the Mingjiao and end the fragmentation of the Mingjiao.

In Tianying Sect, Yang Xiao learned of Qin Zhiyong's name and the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Saber.

Yang Xiao's eyes were high above the top, and he was very proud. In fact, he had no interest in the Dragon Saber.Yitian Sword and Dragon Slaying Knife are just sharper weapons. Only people with low martial arts skills and no self-confidence are so obsessed with sharp weapons.

Yin Tianzheng admired Qin Zhiyong's martial arts, and compared him with Zhang Zhenren of Wudang.Yang Xiao wants to see if this Qin Zhiyong who just came out is really as powerful as Yin Tianzheng said?
Yang Xiao stood at the gate of the main altar of the Haisha faction, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes.The main altar of the Haisha faction is just such a courtyard?It's really shabby.Compared with Mingjiao, the gap is not even a little bit. How can such an environment give birth to peerless masters?
Yang Xiao always believed that a small pond would not be able to grow dragons.

Yang Xiao looked back at Yin Susu who was following him, and said, "Daughter of Yin Baimei, you really dare to follow me. You are not afraid that I will kill you. You must know that Jianghu martial arts call me the "big devil" '."

Yin Susu sneered and said, "Would you kill me? If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me long ago. It's no big deal if you beat my father. After all, my father is old. If you beat Qin Zhiyong, that would be your ability."

Yang Xiao is more annoying than Qin Zhiyong.Yin Susu followed Yang Xiao to Haisha School, just to see him make a fool of himself.

Others don't know about Qin Zhiyong's martial arts, but Yin Susu knows very well that his father holds a dragon-slaying saber, and even Qin Zhiyong's body protection can't be broken.This kind of martial arts cultivation is already beyond the ordinary existence.No matter how powerful Yang Xiao is, can he compare to Qin Zhiyong?
Yang Xiao cupped his fists and said to the two Haisha faction disciples at the door, "Is Qin Zhiyong there?"

Anger suddenly appeared on the faces of the two Haisha sect disciples. Can Mr. Qin's name be called at will?
One of the Haisha sect disciples said coldly: "Who is your Excellency? What can I do with Mr. Qin?"

Yang Xiao smiled slightly, and he didn't care about the disciples of the Haisha Sect. In his eyes, the disciples of the Haisha Sect were all scumbags.Getting angry with them is a self-deprecation.

"I am Yang Xiao, the bright left envoy of Mingjiao." Yang Xiao said, "As for what, we will talk about it after meeting Qin Zhiyong."

"Mingjiao?"

The two Haisha sect disciples were taken aback.

The Haisha Sect is just a small, low-level gang that sells some private salt and does not even have a complete inheritance of martial arts. Compared with the "behemoth" like the Mingjiao that has been passed down for hundreds of years, it is really a world of difference.

Even if the Mingjiao is still in a state of fragmentation, it can still resist the six major factions of the Central Plains, which shows how powerful its power is.Perhaps, only the imperial court can suppress Mingjiao.

"Mr. Qin is giving lectures in the school, please invite Yang Zuoshi to come with you." A Haisha sect disciple said.

The expression on Yang Xiao's face was surprised, and he said with a smile: "Qin Zhiyong still gives lectures? That's a bit interesting. Okay, you take me to see him."

Yin Susu was equally curious and followed.

Come to school.

Yang Xiao and Yin Susu saw Qin Zhiyong standing on the podium with a serious face, giving lectures to everyone.The timing of their visit was quite coincidental, as they happened to meet Qin Zhiyong explaining martial arts and cultivation.

Qin Zhiyong glanced at Yang Xiao and Yin Susu, but did not talk to them, but continued with the class.Yang Xiao didn't break the atmosphere in the school, and walked into the back row of the school.

Seeing Ji Xiaofu, Yang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he came to sit beside her.

Yin Susu also walked into the school and found an empty seat to sit down.

Ji Xiaofu glanced at Yang Xiao, smiled sweetly, then concentrated on listening to the class, and wrote down every word Qin Zhiyong said with pen and ink.Ji Xiaofu felt that these things recorded were more precious than the so-called peerless secret books.

Qin Zhiyong said: "When I was talking about Confucianism yesterday, I mentioned the issue of cultivating the mind. Cultivating the mind is more difficult and more important than practicing martial arts. In martial arts, the only way to achieve the unity of body and mind, or to say that the spirit and form Unity is the real entry into the room, and only then is it qualified to aspire to the pinnacle of martial arts. If the mind is not strong, the mind will be distracted. If you can't concentrate, you can't talk about the unity of body and mind, let alone improve your mood. As for someone asking , how to better use the inner strength and true energy? When you reach the state of body and mind unity, the use of inner strength will naturally be like a hand, and all kinds of exquisite martial arts moves will come at your fingertips and be integrated..."

After talking about practice, Qin Zhiyong continued to talk about numerology.

In the eyes of others, Qin Zhiyong's martial arts is the pinnacle.But Qin Zhiyong didn't think so. He felt that his martial arts could only be regarded as "half-handed". For Qin Zhiyong, practicing martial arts was just a part of his cultivation, not so professional.He is best at psychology and mathematics.

Qin Zhiyong hoped that everyone would listen carefully to his explanation of mathematics, but unfortunately things backfired, and there were only a few people who were interested in mathematics.However, even if only a few people are willing to learn mathematics, Qin Zhiyong still has to teach it.

Numeracy is one of the six arts of a gentleman.But now everyone regards numerology as miscellaneous learning, not orthodox.It is almost impossible for everyone to like mathematics as much as they like martial arts.In such a general environment, Qin Zhiyong had no choice.

Yang Xiao is knowledgeable, but he is not interested in numerology either.He said to Ji Xiaofu: "Girl, I wonder if I can lend you your notes to Yang."

With a smile on her face, Ji Xiaofu said in a low voice: "Of course. The knowledge Mr. Qin taught is open to the public and everyone can learn from it. Mr. Yang, you just came here, and you haven't heard the previous knowledge, so you can read the notes .”

Yang Xiao took the paper full of handwriting, nodded and said, "Thank you, miss."

Flipping through the previous contents of the notes, Yang Xiao's pupils shrank, and his heart was shocked.The methods of practice that Qin Zhiyong talked about are all the most reasonable!Mind, qi and blood, breathing, internal strength, boxing, weapons...all included.

It was only recently that Qin Zhiyong combined martial arts and internal strength, achieving both internal and external cultivation.In some respects, what Qin Zhiyong told everyone has already surpassed the legendary Nine Suns Divine Art and Nine Yins Manual.

In the next few days, Yang Xiao would come to listen to Qin Zhiyong's lectures every day.Of course, the same is true for Yin Susu.The two of them came later. After school, they would find Ji Xiaofu's notes to copy.

After coming and going, Yang Xiao and Ji Xiaofu became familiar with each other.

Qin Zhiyong was only responsible for preaching and dispelling doubts, he ignored the personal relationship of "students".

…………

In the evening, school ends.Qin Zhiyong returned to his small courtyard.These days, Qin Zhiyong feels that his knowledge has improved a lot, and he has gained a lot of experience.

Giving lectures to everyone is actually a process of sorting out knowledge, learning new things by reviewing the past.Sometimes, when the speed of practice is no longer as good as before, maybe you can go back and sort out what you have learned, and maybe you can get some new gains.

Zhang Cuishan and Yin Liting went to the Haisha School and saw Ji Xiaofu and Yang Xiao discussing martial arts, they seemed quite close.

Yin Liting shouted excitedly: "Xiaofu!"

But immediately Yin Liting's eyes were filled with anger, pointing at Yang Xiao, and asking: "Xiaofu, tell me, who is he? Is it Qin Zhiyong?"

Before Ji Xiaofu could speak, Yang Xiao sneered and said, "You are not qualified to know who I am. Also, what does it have to do with you when I talk about martial arts with Miss Ji?"

Yin Liting stared at Yang Xiao, sneered and said, "What does it have to do with me? Ji Xiaofu is my fiancée, do you think it matters. You stay away from Xiaofu from now on."

Yang Xiao frowned and said, "If you're not married, then you're not a wife."

Faced with this situation, no matter how good-tempered Yin Liting was, he couldn't bear it.

He directly drew his sword and attacked Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao was surprised, and said: "Ti Yun Zong Qinggong, Wudang swordsmanship, are you a Wudang disciple?"

After listening to Qin Zhiyong's lectures for a few days and reading Ji Xiaofu's notes, Yang Xiao's martial arts and state of mind had a qualitative improvement.Yin Liting's martial arts are not weak, his lightness kung fu and swordsmanship are exquisite, but his internal kung fu is still lacking.

Yang Xiao spotted Yin Liting's weakness and forced him back with a palm.

"Wudang swordsmanship, I used to think it was quite remarkable, but now it seems that it's nothing more than that." Yang Xiao said with a smile.

Yin Liting looked aggrieved, he didn't expect the man in front of him to be so powerful in martial arts.It is even stronger than the senior brother Song Yuanqiao and the second senior brother Yu Lianzhou.

A flash of anger flashed in Zhang Cuishan's eyes, and he said, "Don't insult Wudang swordsmanship!"

Zhang Cuishan and Yin Liting jointly attacked Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao sneered and said, "Two against one? I'm not afraid. Let Yang see how exquisite Wudang's swordsmanship is."

Ji Xiaofu came back to her senses and said anxiously: "Mr. Yang, Zhang Wuxia, Yin Liuxia, stop."

Yin Susu was like a little witch, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and said loudly: "Let's fight. I want to see whether Mingjiao's martial arts is stronger or Wudang's swordsmanship is stronger. Haha."

Seeing that Yang Xiao, Yin Liting, and Zhang Cuishan couldn't be persuaded, Ji Xiaofu stamped her foot and ran to Qin Zhiyong's small courtyard: "I'll go find Mr. Qin."

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

Ji Xiaofu pushed open the gate of Qin Zhiyong's small courtyard, and said, "Young Master Yang and Wudang's Zhang Wuxia and Yin Liuxia are fighting. Mr. Qin, go and stop them. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold back, and they will either die or be injured. "

Qin Zhiyong said calmly: "Miss Ji, don't worry, nothing will happen. Yang Xiao's martial arts has improved rapidly in the past few days, and he can retract and release his shots freely. I think he won't really hurt Zhang Wuxia and Yin Liuxia."
