Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 26

Qin Zhiyong was not surprised that Chen Zhengying refused to accept Yang Yuqian as his apprentice.If Yang Yuqian wants to learn the essence of Neijiaquan, he still needs to wait.When the time comes, it will happen.

Qin Zhiyong said to Yang Yuqian: "Agan, let's go."

Yang Yuqian nodded in a low mood.

Chen Zhengying is the head of the village and the head of the family.

Qin Zhiyong is a master and has a lot of knowledge.

The two are the most prestigious people in Chenjiagou.

Qin Zhiyong turned around, and the villagers watched him leave.

Back at the school, Qin Zhiyong brought the paste and wanted to post the children's test papers on the wall outside the school.So that everyone in the village can know how well the children are doing in school.

Standing beside Qin Zhiyong, Yang Yuqian said worriedly, "Mr. Qin, senior Chen Zhengying still doesn't want to accept me as an apprentice..."

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Are you anxious? Hold your breath. Senior Chen Zhengying said just now that he would not accept you as an apprentice, but there was hesitation in his eyes. If you hesitate, it means that you have a heartbeat. Ah Gan, you are very talented. After half a year of Taijiquan moves, you can beat Chen Shaozhao. I don't believe that senior Chen Zhengying turned a blind eye to this. By the way, why did you have a conflict with Chen Shaozhao and fight?"

Yang Yuqian blushed: "It's because of Liu Ruoshi."

Yang Yuqian did not elaborate.

Qin Zhiyong nodded, and said with a smile: "So it's because of that girl Liu Ruoshi. Didn't she keep pestering Chen Shaoqi? Why, now she likes you."

Chen Shaozhao likes Liu Ruoshi, and Liu Ruoshi likes Yang Yuqian.

Qin Zhiyong guessed that it must be because Chen Shaozhao was feeling uncomfortable and troubled Yang Yuqian, so the two started fighting.

However, after the battle with Chen Shaozhao, Yang Yuqian became famous in the village.

After posting up the test papers, Qin Zhiyong and Yang Yuqian left the village and walked to the second uncle's house in Houshan.

………………

Chen Zhengying returned to the small courtyard, sat on a chair in the main room, and slapped the table hard.

His mood is very bad.

Chen Shaoqi brought tea, put it on the table, and said softly, "Father, are you still angry? Eldest brother and Ah Qian had a conflict, in fact, I don't blame Ah Gan, it was the elder brother who started it first."

Chen Zhengying glared at Chen Shaoqi.

Ah Gan Ah Gan, she called it very affectionately.

Chen Zhengying snorted coldly: "I'm not blaming Yang Yuqian. I'm blaming your elder brother for not being up to date. He followed me to learn Taijiquan for more than ten years, but he lost to Yang Yuqian. You know, Yang Yuqian just learned it secretly for half a year. boxing."

Here comes Qin Zhiyong, who has such a good martial arts talent.Then came another Yang Yuqian.Could it be that the people outside are really more talented and outstanding than the people in Chenjia Village?

To be honest, Chen Shaozhao lost to Yang Yuqian, which made Chen Zhengying very embarrassing in front of the villagers.

Chen Shaoqi said: "Father, don't be angry. Qin Zhiyong said that Agan is very talented. Maybe, Dad, you can consider accepting Agan as a disciple."

Chen Zhengying looked at her daughter and asked, "Shaoqi, tell Dad honestly, have you fallen in love with that brat Yang Yuqian?"

Chen Shaoqi blushed, and she had a good impression of Yang Yuqian, but Yang Yuqian probably didn't know that she was a daughter.

Chen Zhengying sighed.

Yang Yuqian is indeed excellent, he is a very good young man.But compared with Qin Zhiyong, Chen Zhengying always felt that Yang Yuqian was a bit inferior.

Chen Shaoqi said: "Father, I'm going to Aunt Hong's house now. I'll bring you food later."

Chen Zhengying said: "Go, go."

Chen Shaoqi left the small courtyard, instead of going to Aunt Hong's house, she went to the house of Second Uncle Houshan.

…………

When Chen Shaoqi came, Qin Zhiyong and Yang Yuqian were making lunch, and Chen Zhengzhou sat lazily on the threshold as usual.

Chen Zhengzhou smiled and said, "Shaoqi is here."

Chen Shaoqi nodded: "Second Uncle, where's Qin Zhiyong?"

Chen Zhengzhou said: "Qin Zhiyong and Ah Gan are cooking in the kitchen. You can go to the kitchen and find them."

Chen Shaoqi walked into the kitchen and saw Yang Yuqian lighting the fire and Qin Zhiyong chopping vegetables.

Qin Zhiyong's sword skills have improved a lot compared to half a year ago.He chops vegetables very rhythmically. The vegetables he cuts are uniform in size and thickness, and one can tell that the knife skills are extraordinary at a glance.

Chen Shaoqi said to Qin Zhiyong: "Qin Zhiyong, cook more food. I will bring food back for my father later."

Qin Zhiyong did not raise his head, but focused his eyes on the blade, and said calmly, "No problem."

Qin Zhiyong's cooking is at the level of a chef, much better than Aunt Hong's.Chen Zhengying is in a bad mood today.Chen Shaoqi plans to come to the second uncle to get some good food and go back to reward her father.

Had lunch.

Chen Shaoqi carried the food box, went down the back mountain, and returned home.

Chen Zhengying looked at the exquisite three dishes and one soup on the table, smelled the appetizing aroma, and said: "These meals are not made by your aunt Hong. How can your father and I not know about your aunt Hong's cooking skills? She But there is no such superb cooking skills."

Chen Shaoqi grew up eating the meals cooked by Aunt Hong.

Chen Zhengying also often eats meals cooked by Aunt Hong.How could he not know Aunt Hong's cooking skills?

You don't need to guess, the food must be the craftsmanship of that boy Qin Zhiyong.The knife skill and the heat are all just right.

Chen Shaoqi said: "Father, I went to my second uncle's house. When I saw Qin Zhiyong was cooking, I brought some back. Qin Zhiyong's cooking skills are good. I'll get you wine now. Have a good drink."

Chen Zhengying nodded.

Speaking of Chen Zhengzhou, Chen Zhengying was annoyed, but this dish was made by Qin Zhiyong, so he could eat it with peace of mind.I don't owe my second brother any favors.

………………

in the afternoon.Yang Yuqian and Qin Zhiyong discuss the use of Taijiquan moves.

Qin Zhiyong felt that there is only one core of Taijiquan fighting, which is to follow the opponent's back and use force to destroy the opponent's center of gravity and make him lose his balance.to break its roots.

The style of Taijiquan is actually very vigorous, known as Paoquan.Moves such as moving block hammer, diamond pound hammer, etc. are extremely vigorous.

But the Taijiquan wrestling method is truly classic and mysterious.

Four or two thousand pounds.

In fact, it is about wrestling.

To defend against the enemy, as long as you use Taijiquan's "four or two strokes of a thousand catties" is enough.As for the hammering method, it was too fierce and domineering. Once it was used, it would either kill or injure. Qin Zhiyong thought it would harm the peace of heaven.

With Qin Zhiyong's current strength, if he performs Taijiquan's move and punch, one punch can definitely hurt a person's tendons and bones, rupture his internal organs, and die unexpectedly.

With power, nothing great, it's possible to be a thug.

A true hero is one who can control power.

Cultivating the mind and practicing boxing gave Qin Zhiyong strength.But if you want to master this power and not abuse it, you need a strong heart.At present, Qin Zhiyong's state of mind and strength are quite compatible, and he can control the strength of his body so that he will not have a killing intent.

Qin Zhiyong's understanding of martial arts only represents his personal values ​​and world outlook.In other words, it is his personal "Tao".

There are some things that Yang Yuqian doesn't approve of.

Yang Yuqian felt that the various vigorous styles of Taijiquan were very refreshing and full of power.

Qin Zhiyong did not persuade Yang Yuqian to recognize his ideas.Because Yang Yuqian was not wrong.It's just that I and Yang Yu have different purposes for practicing boxing.Practice boxing by yourself, strengthen your body, and stimulate your potential.Yang Yuqian wanted to rely on boxing to become a master and stand out.

Yang Yuqian looked at the village at the foot of the mountain and found that the village was in chaos.

"Second Uncle, Mr. Qin, look quickly." Yang Yuqian said, pointing to the village.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Something happened in the village. Let's go, let's go to the village."

………………

Qin Zhiyong, Chen Zhengzhou, and Yang Yuqian came to the village and saw Chen Zhengying leading the villagers to surround three strangers.

Of these three people, two of them are spies in Prince Duan's mansion.The one headed by him is Cui Tianba, the boxing instructor in Duan Wang's Mansion.

A few years ago, King Duan went hunting in Wen County, Henan Province, and was defeated by Chen Zhengying. At that time, he held back his injury for the sake of face.Back in the capital, King Duan's injury broke out.It took several years to heal.

Duan Wang is a martial idiot, the number one master in the Qing Dynasty.He wanted to find Chen Zhengying, defeat him, and avenge his shame.

But Chenjiagou is too secretive, and it was not found until now.

Cui Tianba looked at the villagers surrounding him, not worried at all.These villagers may know some boxing skills, but they are all rabble.He, Cui Tianba, is considered number one in the capital.

There is no real kung fu in fists and feet, so it is impossible for Prince Duan to let him be the boxing instructor in the palace.

Only Chen Zhengying put some pressure on Cui Tianba.

Cui Tianba stared at Chen Zhengying, and said coldly, "You are Chen Zhengying?"

Chen Zhengying nodded and said, "That's right. I am."

Cui Tianba laughed: "Finally found you. Chen Zhengying, these past few years, you have been very difficult for our prince to find. My name is Cui Tianba, and he is the instructor of the palace. It is said that you are strong in martial arts and know internal boxing. .Today, Cui wants to ask some advice."

Chen Zhengying stretched out his hand and said, "Coach Cui, please."

suddenly.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Senior, Coach Cui wants to learn Taijiquan, why let you do it yourself? Why don't you let me do it."

It is born by heart.

When Qin Zhiyong saw Cui Tianba, he didn't seem like a good person.Such a person is narrow-minded, and will be punished.If Chen Zhengying hurt Cui Tianba, it would bring disaster to Chen Family Village.

Behind Cui Tianba is Duanwang Mansion, a small Chenjiagou, which cannot be offended.Even if Chen Zhengying is a master of internal boxing, if he dares to fight Duan Wangfu, he will be like a mantis.

Unless, Cui Tianba and the other three were directly killed, and then the people in Chenjiagou moved their villages and died in exile.

Qin Zhiyong's heart and character are more submissive than Chen Zhengying's.He came forward, wondering if he could resolve the disaster in Chenjiagou?
Cui Tianba turned his head and saw Qin Zhiyong's extraordinary appearance, elegant temperament, and wearing a Taoist robe. He was surprised and said: "Chen Zhengying, your village is really not simple. Not only do you have a master of internal boxing, but there are also Taoists."

Taoist priests have always been relatively mysterious figures.

When Cui Tianba saw Qin Zhiyong's attire, he found it strange, and he was inevitably surprised.
