Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 38 The Mysterious Seventh Master
Having obtained the essence of Neijiaquan and the secret technique of coiling silk, Qin Zhiyong looked even more relaxed when he competed with King Duan again.However, he still pretended to play very hard, and barely tied with Duan Wang.

Duan Wang's martial arts are constantly improving.Every time he thought he could beat Qin Zhiyong, but in the end, there were always fewer wins and more draws.Qin Zhiyong gave Duan Wang the illusion that he was also making progress.

It's true that Qin Zhiyong is making progress, but his speed of improvement is faster than Duan Wang expected.

Qin Zhiyong's physical strength, martial arts, and state of mind have already surpassed King Duan.

Duan Wang and Qin Zhiyong punched each other, and they retreated at the same time.

Duan Wang wiped his sweat and said, "Qin Zhiyong, you are very good. Your martial arts are constantly improving, and you can keep up with this king's footsteps. But in the next martial arts competition, this king will definitely win you."

Qin Zhiyong clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Your Highness has won the prize. It is a great honor to be able to compete with your Highness. There is an opponent who is comparable in martial arts and discusses martial arts. Of course, we can make progress together. It is a hundred times better than practicing martial arts behind closed doors."

Duan Wang laughed: "That's right. This king is not like that old bastard Chen Zhengying, who wasted a few years without any improvement in martial arts."

Qin Zhiyong said: "My lord, when it comes to senior Chen Zhengying, I think it is okay to let him go first? Anyway, he is old and is no match for the lord. It is meaningless to keep him locked up. My Taijiquan is in the Chen family. The one who learned from Gou has kept senior Chen Zhengying under house arrest in the palace, and Qin can't bear it."

Duan Wang stared at Qin Zhiyong with sharp eyes.

Qin Zhiyong looked at Prince Duan with a peaceful gaze and a smile on his face, not guilty at all.

Duan Wang asked: "Can you guarantee that Chen Zhengying will not leave the capital when she leaves the palace?"

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "I can guarantee it."

Duan Wang said: "Okay. Since you, Qin Zhiyong, are the guarantee for Chen Zhengying, then I will release that old guy first. However, if he escapes from the capital, I will ask you."

Qin Zhiyong said: "If senior Chen Zhengying really escaped quietly, Qin will definitely give the prince an explanation."

Duan Wang snorted coldly, and waved to Qin Zhiyong.

Qin Zhiyong said: "My lord, Qin is resigning."

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

Back in the guest room, Qin Zhiyong said to Chen Zhengying: "Senior, you can leave the Duan Palace and go to the Henan Guild Hall to visit Agan and Shaoqi."

Chen Zhengying said gratefully, "Thank you very much."

When Chen Zhengying left, Qin Zhiyong handed him 500 taels of silver, and said, "Senior, you take the money. Agan wants to open a martial arts gym, and he needs a lot of money. I don't know if a few hundred taels of silver is enough." Not enough. If not, tell me again."

Chen Zhengying hesitated for a moment.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Prince Duan gave me some money earlier, and I lived and boarded in the palace, so basically I didn't need any money. The money should be left alone. It's better to let A-gan use it to do something meaningful. "

Chen Zhengying was no longer polite, and said: "Take the money as a loan from us, and after A-gan opens the martial arts gym and recruits apprentices, I will return it to you."

People with high martial arts skills can actually make a lot of money by opening a gym and accepting apprentices.

Chen Zhengying was so fearless that he couldn't pay back the money.

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "Okay."

Human mentality is so strange.

When I had no ability, I went crazy trying to make money and live in a big house.But when you really have the ability, wealth is at your fingertips, so you no longer pay attention to money.

Just like Qin Zhiyong now, he doesn't value money because as long as he wants money, he can get it by his own ability.Because of this, Qin Zhiyong truly realized that being strong is fundamental.Money is nothing but possessions outside the body.

Qin Zhiyong now has a bit of a mentality of "I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all the money is gone.".

………………

Chen Zhengying took the silver and left Duanwang Mansion.Qin Zhiyong was about to close the door to study, when the housekeeper from the palace came.

The housekeeper said: "Mr. Qin, someone from Gege's mansion in Yongning asked you to go to Gege's mansion."

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "Okay. I see. Thank you butler for letting me know." Yongning Gege must have wanted to study again, so he asked himself to give her a lecture.

Qin Zhiyong came to Yongning Gege's mansion unhurriedly.

Yongning Gege and the six masters under his command are all there, judging by the posture, it doesn't look like he is asking himself to give a lecture.

"I've seen Ge Ge." Qin Zhiyong said with cupped fists.

Yongning Gege said: "Mr. Qin, you came just in time. We have something important to discuss with you. Please sit down."

After Qin Zhiyong sat down, he asked, "I wonder if there is anything Gege wants to discuss with Qin?"

There was a trace of anger in Yongning Gege's eyes, and he asked: "Mr. Qin, in the past few days, there is a country boy named Yang Yuqian who kicks around. Do you know?"

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said: "I heard it. I heard that Yang Yuqian visited several martial arts gyms. He competed with the head of the martial arts hall and did not lose a single match."

Yongning Gege said: "It's not a visit, it's kicking the pavilion, kicking the pavilion."

Qin Zhiyong smiled slightly and said, "Ge Ge is so angry, could it be that Yang Yuqian offended you?"

Yongning Gege snorted coldly, and said: "Yang Yuqian, this guy actually beat my people. I must teach him a lesson and let him know that there are many masters in the capital, and he is not a brat who can get away with it. I have already I made an agreement with Yang Yuqian that after five days, he will come to break into the tower. There is a master in every floor of the tower. I want to see if Yang Yuqian can reach the top floor."

"It's just that Yang Yuqian's martial arts are really good. In order to be safe, I plan to let Mr. Qin guard the last test."

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Gege, you are fighting with wheels. If you keep consuming Yang Yuqian's physical strength, even if you win, it will be invincible. Even if Yang Yuqian loses, it will be a glorious defeat."

Yang Yuqian's martial arts boxing skills are already very strong, but he has not taken the last step to become a boxing master.It is somewhat difficult to beat the six masters under Yongning Gege.

If Yang Yuqian can become a martial arts master before the competition, there is at least a [-]% chance of winning.

Competing in martial arts, adapting to changing circumstances, any situation may happen.No one dares to say that they are sure to win.

Yongning Gege said: "Mr. Qin, don't talk nonsense. Do you agree to help me?"

Qin Zhiyong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay. I'll help you. However, Ge Ge, don't have too much hope. If I really fight Yang Yuqian, I may not be able to beat him."

Yongning Gege said with a smile: "I believe in Mr. Qin. Because both you and Yang Yu are able to practice Taijiquan."

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

When Chen Zhengying returned to the Henan Guild Hall, Yang Yuqian, Chen Shaoqi, and Chen Zhengzhou were all very happy.Chen Shaoqi took Chen Zhengying's arm and said, "Father, you didn't suffer any grievances in Duan Wang's mansion, did you? That Duan Prince is really too domineering and unreasonable."

Chen Zhengying said: "With Qin Zhiyong around, I haven't been wronged. It's just... King Duan's martial arts are stronger than those of the past few years. Even if I compete fairly with King Duan in my best condition, I'm afraid I won't be able to win against him." .”

Chen Zhengzhou said: "Brother, you deliberately lost to King Duan a few years ago. Could it be that he still refused to give up because of this matter? What does King Duan really want? Do you want to win our Chen Family Taijiquan? Then we will let He'll win again."

Chen Zhengying shook her head and said, "The matter is not that simple. In fact, I don't know what Prince Duan is thinking. This matter needs to be discussed with Qin Zhiyong. He is now a guest minister of Prince Duan's mansion, and he knows Prince Duan better than us."

suddenly.

Chen Zhengying noticed that Yang Yuqian, Chen Shaoqi, and Chen Zhengzhou looked worried.

"Did something happen again?" Chen Zhengying asked.

Chen Zhengzhou sighed, and said: "Let me tell the story. A-gan went to visit the major martial arts gyms in the capital... I didn't expect to have a conflict with Yongning Gege's subordinates. Five days later, A-gan will fight against Yongning Gege's seven men. A master contest."

Chen Zhengying did not blame Yang Yuqian.

If you want to open a gym in the capital to recruit disciples, you must visit (kick) the major martial arts gyms.If you don't make a name for yourself in the martial arts world, even if you open a martial arts gym, no one will come to learn from a master.

It is not necessarily a bad thing to compete with the seven masters under Yongning Gege.

Of course, the premise is to win.

As long as he wins, Yang Yuqian will have a firm foothold in the martial arts circle in the capital.

When the museum is opened in the future, there is no fear that no disciples will come to the door.

Chen Shaoqi worried: "But, we have only seen six masters under Yongning Gege's command. As for who is the seventh? We don't know at all."

Chen Zhengzhou also said: "Shaoqi is right. I asked the people in the Henan Guild Hall to inquire, but I didn't get any news about the seventh master. This person is very mysterious. I believe he is definitely a great master. Maybe , the seventh master is Yongning Gege's hole card."

When he was in Chenjiagou, Yang Yuqian was very confident, but when he arrived in the capital, he realized that his martial arts were really not top-notch.In the few martial arts gyms I visited, every gym owner has a unique skill.Although I have won them, it doesn't mean that those pavilion masters are weak.

Those who can open a martial arts gym in the capital will not be weak.

Contesting against the masters under Yongning Gege, Yang Yuqian is really not sure of winning.

What's more, there is that mysterious seventh master.

Chen Zhengying patted Yang Yuqian on the shoulder and said, "Agan, don't worry. You are a martial arts prodigy. Among the people I have met as a teacher, your martial arts talent is second only to Qin Zhiyong. You are young, with strong muscles and bones, and you are The biggest advantage. I exchanged boxing skills with Qin Zhiyong in Duanwang's mansion, and I gained some insights, and I will pass it on to you now. It doesn't matter who the seventh master is. Within five days, you should take good care of your body and mind, and strive for Take what you have learned and integrate it. Then you will be invincible."

Yang Yuqian nodded and said, "What the master said is true. The disciple knows what to do. Don't worry, master, I will not lose."

Yang Yuqian competed with the masters under Yongning Gege. If he lost, his plan to open a martial arts gym in the capital would come to an end without a problem.

Yang Yuqian is different from Qin Zhiyong.

Qin Zhiyong is self-cultivating, not fighting for fame and fortune.

In layman's terms, Qin Zhiyong's level is still very low.Self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace.He is still in the self-cultivation stage.Fame and fortune mean nothing to Qin Zhiyong.Even if fame and fortune are needed, that is a matter for the future.

Yang Yuqian is successful in martial arts, if he wants to rely on martial arts to make a living, if he wants to make a name for himself in the martial arts world, he must strive for fame and fortune.Get yourself and Tai Chi famous.

Therefore, Yang Yuqian must not lose, not even once!

　Ask for a ticket.Ask for collection.
