Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 219

Yang Xiong, Yang Jin and his son originally planned to stay in Dadu for half a month, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Qin Zhiyong wanted to go to Wudang with Yin Liting to celebrate Zhang Sanfeng's birthday.Yang Xiong decided to go to Wudang Mountain with Qin Zhiyong.

Zhang Sanfeng is highly respected and powerful in the martial arts world, like a god on land, it is not easy to meet his old man once.

Yang Xiong felt very honored to be able to follow Qin Zhiyong to Wudang.

Qin Zhiyong spent two days preparing a carload of birthday gifts for Zhang Sanfeng.

This morning.

Qin Zhiyong took Qiuyue, Lingshuang, Yin Liting, Yang Xiong, and Yang Jin out of Dadu and rushed to Wudang Mountain.

The national teacher sensed that Qin Zhiyong had left the capital, his heart tightened, and he said to himself: "Qin Zhiyong really left the capital just to celebrate Zhang Sanfeng's birthday in Wudang?"

The closer to the end of his life, the more uneasy the national teacher became.He has profound Buddhist teachings, pure thoughts, and many "supernatural powers", but he can't let go of some things.For example, life.

Dharma practitioners, the purpose is to log in to the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

However, does the Western Paradise really exist?The national teacher is not clear.

In practice, if you have identified the goal, you must go on with confidence.It is a taboo for practitioners to doubt their own way of practice.

Qin Zhiyong stayed in the capital, and the national teacher wanted to guard against him. Now that Qin Zhiyong had left the capital, the national teacher was worried again, afraid that Qin Zhiyong would go out and cause trouble.In short, the national teacher is worried about gains and losses.

Such a state of mind will greatly affect the practice, and will even deceive the mind.

Ever since Qin Zhiyong came to Dadu, the state teacher's heart began to be chaotic.

The Great Yuan court supported the national teacher, and the national teacher in turn protected the royal family and the court.In fact, the strength of the national teacher and the Great Yuan court are connected.

Everything has a cause and effect, and the state teacher and the imperial court have a relationship in which both prosper and both prosper and one loses.Now that the imperial court is corrupt and is dying, the spirit of the national teacher will of course be negatively affected.His current situation, in the words of practitioners, is a backlash.

In fact, the state teacher's state of mind has already begun to gradually recede.

Until Qin Zhiyong and the others went out of the range of spiritual perception, the national teacher closed his eyes again to nourish his spirit.

………………

Qin Zhiyong and the others were not in a hurry, and the speed of the journey was not fast, as long as they arrived at Wudang Mountain on time for Zhang Sanfeng's [-]th birthday.

It was the first time for Qiuyue and Lingshuang to leave Dadu. They often heard Qin Zhiyong talk about the suffering of the people all over the world and the inaction of the court.After leaving Dadu and seeing the outside world, they really realized what the suffering of the common people is.

Even ten years ago, they were the most humble maidservants in Ruyang Palace, but their life was ten times better than that of ordinary people.

At least they don't have to worry about going hungry.

Qin Zhiyong sat in the carriage and said, "Qiuyue, Lingshuang, I'm taking you out of Dadu this time, just to show you the real world outside and to see what life the common people are living. You'll get it on paper. Shallow. Traveling thousands of miles is worse than reading thousands of books. How do you feel when you see the suffering of the people?"

Qiuyue was silent for a while, and then said: "It's shocking. Sir, the people are so miserable, and the court doesn't care?"

Lingshuang said: "I am willing to give my dry food to the people."

Yang Xiong said: "Miss Qiuyue, if the court collects less taxes from the people, the people will be grateful... How can the court care about the life and death of the people. In the eyes of the court, the people are grass people, ant people, and the most humble existence. Miss Lingshuang, you are very kind, but it doesn’t make much sense to send some dry food to the people. Poverty will not leave them.”

Yang Xiong belongs to the grassroots class. Even though he became the leader of the Haisha faction, the people he contacts are still ordinary people.

Liu Bowen is in charge of contacting those local tyrants and gentry.

The common people are illiterate, and Yang Xiong is the one who knows the sufferings of the common people best.

Qin Zhiyong said to Qiuyue and Lingshuang: "Swordsmanship, swordsmanship, if you want to cultivate to the realm of Taoism, you must have the 'Tao' in your heart. When you have the 'Tao', you will defend the 'Tao' in your heart with the sword in your hand. At that time, your swordsmanship and swordsmanship can be called the way of the sword and the way of the sword. You observe carefully, experience the various states of the world, and find the "Tao" in your heart as soon as possible. You can think about it while you are on the road. How should we change the living conditions of the people in the world?"

Finding the "Tao" in your heart is actually aspiring.

Qin Zhiyong came into contact with Confucianism, and soon he made up his mind and determined the way in his heart.

But Qiuyue and Lingshuang have no ambitions yet, and they don't have a way in their hearts.

It is already the limit for them to be able to practice swordsmanship and swordsmanship to the current level.If you want to make a breakthrough, you must be determined.

If the ambition is not established, the mind is scattered, and nothing can be accomplished in the world.

Cultivation means not only cultivating the Tao, but also practicing the Tao.

It is difficult to cultivate the Tao, and it is even more difficult to practice the Tao.

Yang Xiong and Yin Liting are thinking, what is their ambition?
If you know how to research, you will have science, and if you know how to think, you will have philosophy.Qiuyue and Lingshuang calmed down a lot, and they were no longer as excited as they were when they first came out of Dadu.

Even the youngest Yang Jin was thinking about Qin Zhiyong's words.Qin Zhiyong nodded secretly, Yang Jin is a bit savvy, and he will definitely be better than his father in the future.

…………

On the day of Zhang Sanfeng's [-]th birthday, Qin Zhiyong and the others came to the foot of Wudang Mountain.Qin Zhiyong had calculated the time for the rush, and it was better to come early than coincidentally.Arriving at this moment, just in time for the birthday banquet at noon.

However, the atmosphere in Wudang is somewhat different from usual.

Seeing Yin Liting, a little Taoist boy hurriedly said, "Uncle Six, you are back. Uncle Fifth has brought his wife and son back to Wudang. Shaolin Temple, Emei School, Kongtong School... have learned that Uncle Fifth has the If you have the dragon-slaying knife, they will come to persecute our Wudang faction."

Back then, Yin Liting and Zhang Cuishan escorted Tulong Dao back to Wudang Mountain, but they were attacked by three parties from the Tianying Sect, the golden lion king Xie Xun, and the imperial court.Even after listening to Qin Zhiyong's explanation of martial arts for a few days, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Liting had a new understanding of martial arts, but after all, two fists are no match for four hands.

In the end, Yin Liting's limbs were broken.

Zhang Cuishan and Tulongdao disappeared.

Yin Liting learned that Zhang Cuishan was still alive, and immediately excitedly said: "Fifth brother is still alive! That's great. How dare other sects force us to be Wudang? You really want to die."

The brotherhood among the Wudang Seven Heroes is profound.

Yin Liting's state of mind was settled, but when he learned that Zhang Cuishan came back alive and brought back his wife and children, he couldn't help but become excited.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Yin Liuxia, you go up the mountain to meet Zhang Wuxia first. We and this little Taoist leader will arrive later."

Yin Liting's desire to see Zhang Cuishan was very urgent, and he wished to fly up the mountain immediately to meet Zhang Cuishan.

However, Mr. Qin is a distinguished guest of Wudang...

Yin Liting said: "Mr. Qin, it's not appropriate for me to do this."

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Go ahead, don't worry about us. Yin Liuxia, your heart is no longer here. There is no point in staying here. Instead, you will find yourself unhappy."

Yin Liting clasped his fists and said, "Then Yin Liting is being rude. Mr. Qin, let's meet at the top of the Wudang School later."

Qin Zhiyong waved his hand, letting Yin Liting leave in peace.

Yin Liting performed lightness kung fu and turned into an afterimage and rushed up the mountain.

Yang Xiong said: "Yin Liuxia is really a man of temperament."

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "The brotherhood among the Wudang Seven Heroes is enviable. The family is harmonious and everything is prosperous. The Wudang Seven Heroes are so harmonious and there is no intrigue. Is there any reason for the Wudang faction not to prosper? Let's go, let's go up the mountain."

Xiao Daotong said: "Please invite some distinguished guests to follow me."

Qin Zhiyong said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for leading the way."

………………

Masters from various sects gathered in Wudang, and almost everyone's thoughts were on the Dragon Saber.Few people really came to celebrate Zhang Sanfeng's birthday.Perhaps, at the beginning, they all sincerely came to Wudang Mountain to celebrate their birthdays, but when they learned that Zhang Cuishan had returned with his wife and children, their minds changed immediately.

When it comes to interests, few people can restrain the greed in their hearts, including those so-called eminent monks in Shaolin Temple.

It is no secret in Jianghu that Tulongdao and Zhang Cuishan disappeared together.It is precisely because everyone knows that the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Knife are unknown, so the major sects did not gather together with the Haisha Sect to force Qin Zhiyong to hand over the treasured sword.

If Dragon Slaying Knife stayed in Haisha Sect for half a month longer, people from various sects would definitely come to him.

Qin Zhiyong's martial arts were unfathomable, and Zhang Sanfeng was even more highly respected. Normally, no one would dare to trouble them.However, the masters of the various sects gathered together, and when there were many people, the momentum was like a rainbow.It will give people the illusion that there are too many people.So they became bolder.

This is the mentality of Miejue Shitai at the moment.

In order to force Zhang Cuishan to hand over the dragon sword, she directly drew her sword and started.With her profound swordsmanship attainments, she defeated Song Yuanqiao just now.

With the improvement of martial arts and the Yitian sword in hand, Miejue Shitai has no fear.Even if this is Wudang Mountain.

Zhang Cuishan is fighting Miejue Shitai.

The long sword in Zhang Cuishan's hand had been severed by the Yitian Sword, so he could only rely on lightness kung fu to avoid the sword energy attack.

Miejue Shitai's swordsmanship is amazing. Emei swordsmanship is already exquisite, but after receiving Qin Zhiyong's lecture notes, her swordsmanship has entered a state of perfection.Every move is smooth and flowing, with hidden murderous intentions.

It is not surprising that Juejue Shitai can increase the power of swordsmanship several times with a lecture note.The principles of martial arts that Qin Zhiyong talked about are all dry goods. For ordinary Jianghu people, they are the best principles of martial arts.

Zhang Cuishan's lightness kung fu is even more astonishing.

None of the people present knew what Zhang Cuishan had experienced in the past ten years since he disappeared.

However, after Zhang Cuishan returned, he stepped into the ranks of peerless masters.Is the truth.

Zhang Cuishan also read Qin Zhiyong's lecture notes, and also listened to Qin Zhiyong's lectures in the Haisha School's school for a few days.

Sometimes, a single sentence can lead a person with wisdom roots to enlightenment.And Zhang Cuishan is the one with the highest savvy among the Wudang Seven Heroes, he just has the root of wisdom.

Qin Zhiyong taught Zhang Cuishan how to cultivate a pure heart and how to achieve the unity of knowledge and action.Zhang Cuishan's state of mind cultivation at this moment is not inferior to Yin Liting's, and has also reached the level of meditation.

No matter how tricky and swift the Juejue Shitai's swordsmanship is, Zhang Cuishan can dodge it calmly with Wudang light kung fu.

Juejue Shitai is equivalent to getting the superficial knowledge of Qin Zhiyong's martial arts, and it is Zhang Cuishan who has learned the essence of Qin Zhiyong's cultivation of mind.

Although Qin Zhiyong has stayed in Dadu for ten years and has not walked in the martial arts world, his way of cultivation is still influencing others.

Zhang Cuishan stared at Miejue Shitai's Yitian Sword, avoided the sword energy attack again, and said: "Master, you can't hurt me. Let's stop."

Miejue Shitai sneered and said, "Hmph. The poor nun doesn't believe that the Yitian sword can't hurt you."

Yin Liting arrived at the martial arts training ground on the top of the mountain, and shouted loudly: "Master Miejue, how dare you attack my fifth brother? Is there no one in my Wudang? It's too deceitful!"

Yin Liting stabbed Miejue Shitai with a sword.

This sword is silent, and the human sword is one, very amazing.It showed the demeanor of a peerless swordsman.

Miejue Shitai's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Wudang Yin Liting? Another peerless swordsman!"

The heads of Shaolin, Kongtong, Huashan, Kunlun and other major sects shrank their pupils and were shocked in their hearts.

The Wudang faction is really full of talents.

Zhang Cuishan's lightness kung fu and Yin Liting's swordsmanship are both top-notch.

To get the Dragon Slaying Knife, there is little hope.
