Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 32

The moon is very round tonight.It was fifteen again.

Yang Yuqian is practicing boxing in the yard.His current Taijiquan has been taught by Chen Zhengying, and it is not what it used to be.

Chen Shaoqi came over with the food box, brought out the chicken soup in the food box, and put it on the stone table in the courtyard.

"Agan, don't practice too hard. Drink some chicken soup first." Chen Shaoqi said.

Yang Yuqian wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and said, "Okay."

Sitting on the stone pier, Yang Yuqian took the chicken soup and took a sip with a spoon.Chen Shaoqi said, "How does it taste?"

Yang Yuqian nodded and said, "That's right. It's just..."

Chen Shaoqi asked, "Just what?"

Yang Yuqian said with a smile: "The chicken soup tastes good, but compared with Mr. Qin's craftsmanship, there is still a little gap."

In fact, Yang Yuqian's statement is very subtle, not a little difference.But a very large gap.

If Qin Zhiyong's cooking skills are at the master level, then Chen Shaoqi's chicken soup is at the level of ordinary women's cooking.

The two are not at the same level at all.

Chen Shaoqi blushed, and said angrily, "Well, you idiot. You even compared my cooking skills with that fake Taoist Qin Zhiyong. His cooking skills have been passed down from a master. No one in Chenjiagou would dare to compare with him. Cooking? Say, do you despise me?"

Just last month, Yang Yuqian and Chen Shaoqi finally confirmed their relationship.Chen Zhengying was barely satisfied with Yang Yuqian, the son-in-law-to-be.A martial arts prodigy like Yang Yuqian is already a very good talent.It's just that Chen Zhengying always compares Yang Yuqian with Qin Zhiyong, which makes Yang Yuqian relatively mediocre.

Yang Yuqian said: "Shaoqi, it is my blessing, Yang Yuqian, to win your heart. How dare I despise you. It's too late to love you. I don't want to lie to you. As far as cooking is concerned, Mr. Qin is a master. We really I can't compare with him. However, when it comes to boxing, I may not lose to him!"

Qin Zhiyong valued knowledge and wisdom.

Yang Yuqian is a pure warrior.A pure person will often have great achievements in a certain aspect.

Chen Shaoqi nodded and said: "Agan, I believe in you. Your boxing and martial arts skills must surpass that guy Qin Zhiyong....Agan, tell me, do you have a mastery of the inner essence of Taijiquan and the secret technique of coiling silk? "

If he hadn't mastered the essence of Taijiquan and the strength of winding silk, Chen Shaoqi felt that Yang Yuqian would not have such confidence.After all, Qin Zhiyong's boxing skills and speed of improvement are really amazing.Qin Zhiyong was able to perform Taijiquan superbly without having learned the essence of the inner family and the strength of winding silk.

Even Chen Zhengying thought it was incredible.

Yang Yuqian nodded and said: "That's right. Yesterday, I had already thoroughly understood the essence of Taijiquan and the secret technique of winding silk. When I lived with Mr. Qin at the second uncle's house, the second uncle taught me Taijiquan moves. Although Mr. Qin did not teach I am Taijiquan, but he taught me a lot of principles of boxing, as well as the principles of being a human being. Especially the Confucian method of self-cultivation and health preservation is very important to me. Otherwise, I would not have taken the inner meaning of Taijiquan so quickly. Master the essence of family and the strength of winding silk."

"Mr. Qin, like Master, is my teacher, Yang Yuqian. Tomorrow, we will leave for the capital. I hope Mr. Qin is okay."

Thinking that Qin Zhiyong might offend King Duan, a trace of worry flashed in Chen Shaoqi's eyes, and she said, "Agan, don't worry. I believe Qin Zhiyong will be fine. He seems harmless to humans and animals, he is kind to others, and is very gentle." , in fact, he knows how to be wise and protect himself best. Besides, Qin Zhiyong's martial arts are not weak."

These words are comforting Yang Yuqian, and they are also comforting herself.

No matter how strong Qin Zhiyong's boxing and martial arts are, if he really hates King Duan, how can he live a good life?Maybe he will go to jail or even be beheaded.

After drinking the chicken soup, Yang Yuqian said, "Shaoqi, I'll practice boxing again. Go to bed early."

Chen Shaoqi nodded and said: "Yes. You should relax and do not force yourself to practice boxing. Practice boxing again, and don't practice too much. Otherwise, it will be too late, and you will hurt your body. When you are done with your work, you should rest early. We have to hurry tomorrow."

………………

The truths in the world are all interlinked, and there is a saying that "one law leads to all laws".

Qin Zhiyong's state of mind is higher than that of ordinary people, and his study progress must be several times faster than ordinary people.He still can't really go deep into one, but in terms of concentration, he has already begun to learn.

After a few months, Qin Zhiyong learned all the medical skills of the old doctor in the hospital.The old doctor is just an ordinary doctor, not a master doctor. The medical skills he can teach Qin Zhiyong are all basic knowledge.

Qin Zhiyong's experience in treating people is not as sophisticated as that of an old Chinese doctor.

Experience needs time to hone and precipitate.

This morning.

Qin Zhiyong walked into the medical hall carrying a heavy package, and respectfully saluted the old doctor as a disciple.

"Thank you teacher for your hard work over the past few months, which has given me a deep understanding of medical skills. Tomorrow, I will not come to the clinic again. I hope the teacher will take care." Qin Zhiyong said.

The old doctor sighed, and said: "Actually, I have nothing to teach you. With your talent, I am not qualified to be your teacher. I am ashamed."

The old doctor knew that Qin Zhiyong was the guest minister of Prince Duan's mansion.He didn't dare to really treat Qin Zhiyong as a disciple.Although, he really wanted Qin Zhiyong to be his successor.Qin Zhiyong is very talented in medical skills.The old doctor has never seen a person who learns medical skills so quickly, and the knowledge in the book can be inferred.

Take Qin Zhiyong as a disciple?I don't have that blessing.

Since Qin Zhiyong proposed to leave, it meant that his fate was over.

Qin Zhiyong put the package on the table, and said sincerely: "Teacher, the grace of preaching is greater than the sky. There is nothing for disciples to repay. I hope the teacher will accept the 200 taels of silver."

The old doctor quickly shook his head and said, "No, no. How can I accept your money?"

Qin Zhiyong said: "Teacher, if you don't accept me, my disciple will feel uneasy."

The old doctor stared at Qin Zhiyong, finally nodded, and said, "Okay. The old man will have the audacity to accept the money."

Qin Zhiyong clasped his fists and said, "Farewell, my disciple. Take care, teacher."

The old doctor looked at Qin Zhiyong's leaving back and sighed secretly, it would be great if Qin Zhiyong could inherit his own medical clinic.

As soon as he returned to Prince Duan's Mansion, the housekeeper brought an invitation card.Qin Zhiyong opened it and saw that it was sent by Yongning Gege.I hope that in three days, Qin Zhiyong will be able to gather at the mansion.

Qin Zhiyong gave a wry smile, and secretly said: "I only met Yongning Gege once. I never thought that she would miss me and send an invitation. However, I am also to blame. I promised Yongning Gege to visit, but more than half a year later, I haven't come to the door yet."

Seeing Qin Zhiyong holding the invitation in a daze, the butler asked, "Mr. Qin, are you going or not to Yongning Gege's banquet?"

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "Go. Please tell the housekeeper to inform Yongning Gege that Qin will come to visit in person in three days."

The butler said, "Yes, Mr. Qin."

three days later.

Qin Zhiyong came to Yongning Gege Mansion wearing Taoist robes and holding an invitation card.

Hao Erdu, who was standing at the gate, said: "Mr. Qin, Gege has been waiting for a long time. However, if you want to see Gege, you have to pass my test first."

Qin Zhiyong clasped his fists and said with a smile, "I don't know how to pass your test?"

Hao Er said proudly: "If you can push me back three steps, you will pass the test!"

Hao Er had seen Qin Zhiyong's martial arts in Duan Wang's residence before.He always felt that Qin Zhiyong's boxing was too soft and not manly enough.Although Qin Zhiyong was valued by King Duan at that time, Hao Erdu looked down on him a little in his heart.

Hower believes that those who possess supernatural powers are the real warriors.And he, Hao Erdu, is exactly such a person.

"Comparing strength?" Qin Zhiyong said, "Qin is a scholar, but he is by no means a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken. Then Qin will give it a try and see if he can make you take three steps back?"

Qin Zhiyong walked up to Hao Erdu and bumped into him directly.

Hitting people with the body, there are such moves in many boxing arts.Bajiquan's "Iron Mountain Relying" and Xingyiquan's "Xiong Clashing Mountain" are all like this.Of course, there are similar tricks in Tai Chi.

Although the current Qin Zhiyong is not born with divine power, his muscles and bones are strong and his strength is not what it used to be.His figure may seem thin, but his physical energy is abundant. Even compared with Hao Erdu, his strength is almost the same.

Hao Er didn't expect that Qin Zhiyong would directly hit himself with his shoulder.

Bang.

He only felt a huge force coming, and his body retreated uncontrollably.

After taking five full steps back, he regained his footing.

Hao Er looked at Qin Zhiyong in shock: "Mr. Qin, you are so thin and small, unexpectedly you are born with supernatural power!"

Hao Erdu is tall and strong, with a hunchback and a tiger-back, and a body full of tendons. He is more than 1.9 meters tall.Qin Zhiyong's height was only 1.7 meters [-], standing in front of Hao Erdu, compared with the two, of course he looked thin and small.

Qin Zhiyong shook his head and said, "Born with supernatural power? I'm not."

Qin Zhiyong's physical fitness and strength are not born, but obtained through self-cultivation.A warrior with natural supernatural power like Hao Erdu can be said to be one in a million.

Hao Erdu relied too much on talent, he didn't really master and use his own powerful power.

In layman's terms, Hao Erdu has a simple mind and well-developed limbs.

It is a pity that divine power is born and cannot be used.

If Hao Er could use his bones and muscles freely like Qin Zhiyong, King Duan would not be his opponent.

Hao Erdu's physical fitness is the strongest among the people Qin Zhiyong has ever met.

Hao Erdu still had an unconvinced expression on his face, and snorted coldly: "Mr. Qin, I will take you to see Gege right now, follow me."

Qin Zhiyong stretched out his hand and said politely, "Strong man please."
