Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 227 Insight into the Mysteries of the Living Dead
No one knows more about the injuries of the disciples of the various sects than Granny Jinhua, because she was the one who injured those people.Ordinary doctors will never be able to cure their injuries, unless it is a master of medicine like Hu Qingniu.

Lingshuang stood in front of Granny Jinhua.

With Granny Jinhua's attitude, she didn't need to guess that she was looking for trouble.However, Granny Jinhua is a strong enemy to Lingshuang.

Granny Jinhua sneered and said: "Little girl, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you are sensible, go away. Otherwise, the old woman will clean up with you."

Lingshuang said: "My husband told me to ensure the safety of Dr. Hu before he left. So, I can't let you. Mother-in-law, you really misunderstood Dr. Hu. He is not the one who heals and saves people."

Granny Jinhua snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense. Let's see the truth."

Granny Jinhua's personality is as extreme as Miejue Shitai's, and her first move is a killer move.

Lingshuang said: "Wuji, get out of the way, I'll meet this wicked woman for a while."

Lingshuang is now practicing health preservation skills.This exercise is the crystallization of wisdom of Qin Zhiyong and Zhang Sanfeng. Practitioners not only have keen senses, are full of energy, but also have boundless strength.It can be described as an all-round improvement of physical fitness.

Without a long sword in his hand, Lingshuang could only use body skills to fight Granny Jinhua.And Lingshuang's movement skills are at the subtle level.

Granny Jinhua's dragon-headed cane is powerful, fierce and domineering. Every time it is struck, it tears the air and causes great shocks.Even if it is a first-rate master in the martial arts world, if he is hit by a cane, he will either die or be disabled.

Lingshuang is like a dancing butterfly, her body is very elegant, and she can avoid Granny Jinhua's attack every time.

These days when Qin Zhiyong left, Lingshuang has been thinking about what her "Tao" is.

For the country and the people?

Lingshuang felt that she was just a little woman, without that much emotion and courage.I like swordsmanship, it is pure love.

During the battle with Granny Jinhua, Lingshuang gradually lost her confusion.

"I want to be a swordsman. This is my ambition!"

Although this ambition cannot be compared with Qin Zhiyong's ambition of "becoming a sage and becoming a virtuous man", he has an ambition after all.

With ambition, you will no longer be confused.

Lingshuang's eyes suddenly became extremely bright.She found the "Tao" in her heart.

This way is the way of swordsmanship.

In Lingshuang's current situation, Confucianism is called Lizhi, and Buddhism is called knowing one's mind and seeing one's nature.Her soul seemed to be sublimated all of a sudden.

Her state of mind has finally reached the level of "entering concentration".

Just now, Lingshuang thought that Granny Jinhua's stick technique was very subtle, but looking at it now, every move of Granny Jinhua's stick technique has at least three flaws.

Lingshuang swung the sword with her fingers, and a sharp sword energy erupted from her fingertips, hitting Granny Jinhua's flaws directly.

Granny Jinhua retreated immediately, narrowly dodging the sword energy.The sword energy just now really frightened her.

"How did your girl's martial arts suddenly increase so much?" Grandma Jinhua stared at Lingshuang in shock.

Lingshuang is only in her 20s, why does she have such a strong skill.Could it be that young people nowadays are so powerful?
There was a smile on Lingshuang's face, and she smiled happily: "Because my state of mind has risen to a higher level. Granny Jinhua, I also want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have broken through so quickly. Come and don't be indecent." Also. Let me attack now. I will show you my sword skills, mother-in-law."

Granny Jinhua grabbed the little girl beside her and said loudly, "Yin Li, let's go."

Lingshuang watched the two leave, and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, remember, don't bother Mr. Hu again."

Hu Qingniu opened the gate of the yard and said, "Girl Lingshuang, you can really beat her. Do you know who she is?"

Lingshuang asked, "Who is she?"

Hu Qingniu said: "She is the Zishan Dragon King of Mingjiao."

Lingshuang is just a maid of Qin Zhiyong, but her martial arts are even better than Zishan Dragon King.So what level did Qin Zhiyong's martial arts reach?Hu Qingniu only felt that Qin Zhiyong was truly unfathomable.

Zhang Wuji handed the letter to Hu Qingniu: "Mr. Hu, this is a letter from Mr. Qin."

Hu Qingniu opened the letter, looked at Zhang Wuji in surprise, and said, "Boy, you will suffer a lot soon."

…………

Hu Qingniu formulated the potion according to the formula in the letter and poured it into a large wooden barrel.

The potion mixed with hot water gave off a pungent smell.

Hu Qingniu said to Zhang Wuji: "Boy, what are you still doing standing there? Come on, take off your clothes and go into the wooden barrel. You have to take a bath for half an hour. But you have to remember, when you take a bath, you must stay awake. If your mind is lost, let alone fall asleep."

Zhang Wuji looked at Lingshuang beside him embarrassingly: "Mr. Hu, just... take off your clothes here?"

Lingshuang said, "I'll go out first."

After Lingshuang left, Zhang Wuji took off his clothes and got into the barrel.

Hu Qingniu asked: "How do you feel?"

Zhang Wuji said: "The water temperature is just right, like soaking in a hot spring, very comfortable. No, I feel like I'm hallucinating... My skin is itchy, as if something is drilling into the pores."

Hu Qingniu took a pen to record what Zhang Wuji said.

As time went by, Zhang Wuji felt that the hallucinations in his brain became more and more real, his eyes gradually became lost, his pupils were a little loose, and his eyes lost focus.

Lingshuang did not know when she appeared behind Hu Qingniu: "Master Hu, Wuji's situation is not good."

Hu Qingniu glared at Lingshuang, and said: "How can the old man not know? The potion prepared by Qin Zhiyong is used for bathing, which has the effect of strengthening muscles and strengthening bones, but it will also make people lose their minds and fall into illusions. If Wuji can If he survives this level, his mind will be strengthened, which will be of great benefit to his practice. If he is lost in the illusion, then the effect of training his mind will be considered a complete failure."

Using the illusion to exercise and stabilize the mind is a method that Qin Zhiyong only recently thought of.Qin Zhiyong didn't understand the legendary illusion formation, so naturally he couldn't create an illusion.However, he is superb with medicines, he is proficient in medicine, and there is no problem with using medicines to make people fall into illusions.

The drugs used by Qin Zhiyong were all formulated with herbal essences. After using this hallucinogenic drug, there was no sequelae to the body.

Just half an hour later, Zhang Wuji's mind was completely lost in the illusion.How effective is exercising your mind?Whether it was failure or success, Hu Qingniu didn't know.Only when Zhang Wuji wakes up and asks him can he know the result.

………………

Qin Zhiyong and Qiuyue lived in the base area controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The two changed their appearance and put on makeup, and became ordinary poor people, living in a thatched hut with mud walls, and mingled with the folks in the village.

The base area controlled by Zhu Yuanzhang is secretive and not easy to be discovered.There are more than 20 bases like this.

When Qin Zhiyong came here, he hadn't met Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang yet.He was just a bystander, watching the development of the base area.

Recently, Zhu Yuanzhang adopted the strategy of "building high walls, accumulating food widely, and becoming king slowly." He is still accumulating strength.From this point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang's political wisdom has improved a lot, and he is no longer as radical as before, and he is going to attack here and there.

Qiuyue made dinner and said, "Sir, it's time to eat."

Qin Zhiyong is weaving a dustpan.He put down what he was doing, washed his hands in the earthenware basin, and said, "Qiuyue, living the life of ordinary people, eating simple tea and light food, are you still used to it?"

Qiuyue said with a smile: "Qiuyue is an ordinary person, and she should live like this. How can you feel uncomfortable?"

Qiuyue spoke the truth.

When her cultivation has reached her level, she no longer needs to pursue wealth and power.Material things are not the most important thing to her, the satisfaction of the soul is what she needs most.

The satisfaction of the soul can only be nourished by the "Tao" in the heart.

Qiuyue served Qin Zhiyong a meal: "Sir, it has been almost three months since you sent the letter to Mr. Hu. If he received the letter, he should probably reply."

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "When it's time to reply, Mr. Hu will definitely reply. I have written the address on the letter. The sender will definitely find us."

Qiuyue said: "I don't know how Lingshuang is doing? She likes to play, like a child who can't grow up. She doesn't stay by Mr.'s side, and I don't know if she will be lazy."

Qin Zhiyong said: "Lingshuang is the same age as you, Qiuyue, but your personalities are a little different. Huh? The messenger has arrived. Qiuyue, go out and get the letter."

Qiuyue walked out of the hut, but saw no one.

suddenly.

A woman came out from around the corner and walked towards the hut.

Seeing her, Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, and then happily said, "Lingshuang."

The person who sent the letter was Lingshuang.

Lingshuang heard Qiuyue's voice and shouted excitedly: "Sister."

Lingshuang ran over and gave Qiuyue a hug: "Sister, do you know? I have found the 'Tao' in my heart, and my state of mind has settled down. My current cultivation level is finally comparable to yours. Sister, Find some time, let's compete in martial arts."

Qiuyue hugged Lingshuang, patted her on the back, and said happily: "Okay, okay, okay. With the 'Tao' in my heart, I won't be confused in the future. I also want to know what kind of practice you have done, Lingshuang. the way of the sword?"

Lingshuang said arrogantly: "My swordsmanship will definitely surprise you, sister. By the way, is sir there? I brought the medicinal materials he needs, as well as Mr. Hu's letter. Seriously, sister, The place where you live is too remote to find. I went to the town the day before yesterday, and I just found it today."

Qiuyue said: "Mr. is eating in the room. Come on, go in and see Mr.."

…………

Qin Zhiyong got the data of Zhang Wuji's medication, and nodded secretly, the effect was not much different from what he expected.

However, there is room for improvement in medicine.

Qin Zhiyong used the exotic flowers and herbs brought by Lingshuang from Butterfly Valley to concoct a drug with a more perfect hallucinogenic effect.This kind of medicine is no longer used to soak in the bath, but is ignited like a mosquito coil.

Qin Zhiyong has already done what should be done and what can be done, but he still hasn't reached the realm of "living dead".Qin Zhiyong wanted to know what the flaw in his heart was.

Light the medicine, and the whole room is filled with a faint fragrance.

Qin Zhiyong relaxed and fell into an extremely real illusion.

When the medicine was about to burn out, Qin Zhiyong opened his eyes and escaped from the illusion.

Qin Zhiyong said with a happy smile: "I finally know where the flaws in my heart are. After insight into the mysteries of the living dead, I realized that the state of the living dead is nothing more than death and life. That's all."

Is it simple?

Those who are difficult will not, and those who will meet will not be difficult.

Enlightened, it is naturally simple.If you don't realize it, it's as difficult as ascending to the sky.

After practicing so far, Qin Zhiyong finally reached the state of "living dead".
