Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 421 The palace dances swords, and there are experts in the mission.

Shanrou is practicing sword in the yard.

If you read the book a hundred times, you will see its meaning, and it is the same with practicing swords.If you practice swordsmanship ten times, it will have the effect of ten times, if you practice it a thousand times, it will have the effect of a thousand times.

In order to concentrate on practicing basic swordsmanship, she didn't practice Shan Rou's health-preserving skills.

Swordsmanship is not an internal skill, but a skill.Skills must take time and hard work to hone.

Shan Rou stared at the tip of the sword, her mind seemed to be poured into the long sword.She has practiced basic sword skills no less than thousands of times, but this time her sword is different from before.

I felt that my thoughts suddenly became clear, and my movements became smoother and rounder. The sword seemed to have spirituality.

"Not bad, not bad. Shan Rou, you have finally mastered the basics of swordsmanship."

At some point, Qin Zhiyong stood behind Shan Rou.

Shanrou retracted her sword, stood up straight, and said, "Shanrou has met Mr."

Qin Zhiyong said: "Practice the advanced swordsmanship you know, and try to see what is different from the previous experience."

Shanrou nodded and said, "Yes, sir."

She knows complex swordsmanship, all taught by Cao Qiu Taoism.

Shanrou once again used advanced swordsmanship, feeling different from before.There is almost no flaw in the connection between the moves, and the long sword is as flexible as a spirit snake spitting out letters.After practicing swordsmanship, Shanrou felt refreshed and unsatisfied.

If Shanrou's swordsmanship power before was only [-]% of Cao Qiudao's, then her swordsmanship attainment is now [-]% of Cao Qiudao's.Of course, there is still a big gap between Shan Rou and Cao Qiudao in terms of swordsmanship and strength.

Shanrou's comprehensive strength has more than doubled.

In less than two months, Shanrou's strength has doubled, which made her a little unbelievable.

Cao Qiudao once said to Shanrou that perhaps in another 20 years, her swordsmanship would be perfect.But judging from Shanrou's speed of improvement, it won't be long before she can become a master of swordsmanship.

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile, "Now, I'm officially teaching you health-preserving skills. If you practice swords without practicing kung fu, you'll be old for nothing. Health-preserving skills are exercises that strengthen your body and mind. From now on, Shanrou, you must pay special attention to health-preserving skills."

…………

At dawn, all the members of the Qi State Mission got up.

Because, today is the day when King Zhao hosted a banquet for the delegation of Qi State, and Qin Zhiyong and Shan Rou will also go there together.Get up early and prepare early.

Qin Zhiyong's identity is just Xunzi's closed disciple. He is not an official and has no official uniform.He was dressed very plainly, wearing a gray linen robe, showing his elegant temperament as a scholar.Even if Qin Zhiyong didn't speak, once he stood there, others would know that he was Mr. Ruyu, a well-learned man.

Shanrou's dress is much more gorgeous than Qin Zhiyong's.

In the morning, Qin Zhiyong and Shanrou followed the mission to King Zhao's Palace.

Zhao Wang, Zhao Mu, Wu Yingyuan, Xiang Shaolong, Lian Jin, Zhao Ya and others, as well as many second-generation rich officials and second-generation officials were all present.

On the side of the mission, Qin Zhiyong was a bit special, he came here as a "scholar".

Banquets have been a routine throughout the ages. Everyone praises and tests each other.

Qin Zhiyong didn't expect much from such a banquet, it was just a formality.If it wasn't for the mission's request to attend, Qin Zhiyong might not have entered the palace.

Qin Zhiyong knelt on the seat, drinking and eating, without saying a word.

Marquis Julu Zhao Mu gave Lian Jin a look.

Lian Jin nodded lightly, stood up, and said to Zhao Wang: "My lord, why don't you let me dance swords for everyone."

Zhao Wang said happily: "Okay. Lian Jin, you are the number one swordsman under Juluhou's command. It is said that your swordsmanship has reached the level of a master. You can show your swordsmanship to your heart's content and let the envoys of Qi State have a look. Our Zhao State is also very clever. The swordsman. I will reward you a lot later."

The cultural heritage of Qi State is deeper than that of other vassal states.After all, Qi State has Jixia Academy, which can attract all kinds of talents to Qi State.

When it comes to swordsmen, the first thing people think of is "Sword Master" Cao Qiudao.

Lian Jin is the number one swordsman under Juluhou's command, but apart from Zhao Guo who knows Lian Jin, other vassal states seldom hear Lian Jin's name.

Zhao Wang certainly doesn't know what "cultural invasion" is, but if Lian Jin can show his face in front of the Qi State Mission.It would be great if Lian Jin's swordsmanship could impress the Qi State mission.

Lian Jin's swordsmanship is indeed good, he has barely entered the level of a swordsmanship master, but compared with Zhao Mo's giant, Zhao Ping, he still lacks some fire.

Shanrou stared at Lian Jin's swordsmanship, and realized something.With the improvement of swordsmanship, Shanrou can already see the secret of Lian Jin's swordsmanship.

There are too many benefits to practice basic swordsmanship.

Any brilliant swordsmanship is inseparable from its original principles.This statement is true.

Xiang Shaolong stared at Lian Jin, and thought to himself: "This fellow Lian Jin's martial arts and swordsmanship are really terrifying. Before I defeated Lian Jin and took back Heshibi from him, it was actually a trick and a bit of luck If I do it again, I will definitely not be Lian Jin's opponent."

Xiang Shaolong got Yuan Zong's true swordsmanship instruction, and learned the Mohist swordsmanship to seven or eight points, but after all, he has just learned the Mohist swordsmanship, and has not mastered the swordsmanship yet.

In the future, Xiang Shaolong's martial arts might be stronger than Lian Jin's, but he is not Lian Jin's opponent yet.

After performing a set of sword skills, Lian Jin said: "Your Majesty, I can't enjoy sword dancing by myself. It's better to let the Qi State Mission send a master swordsman to practice with me."

Zhao Wang said: "Lian Jin, your suggestion is good."

The people in the Qi State mission all set their sights on Shanrou.

They all knew that Shanrou was Cao Qiudao's disciple, so they could only look at her now.I hope Shan Rou can beat Lian Jin in swordsmanship.

Shanrou looked at Qin Zhiyong: "Sir."

With a calm face, Qin Zhiyong said softly, "Go ahead, pay attention to safety, click as far as you can."

Although Shanrou has mastered basic swordsmanship and her swordsmanship has spirituality, her strength is insufficient.With Shanrou's heart and talent, after practicing the health-preserving skills, her physical fitness will be effectively improved in half a year. By then, she will be able to become a master of swordsmanship, and defeating Lian Jin will not be a problem.

But not now.

Shanrou still needs time to grow.

Lian Jin was at least ten years older than Shanrou, and he thought he could easily defeat Shanrou.When he started to move his hands, Lian Jin realized that Shanrou's swordsmanship was very flexible.

Lian Jin has some flaws in his personality, and he is eager for quick success.

Three or five moves couldn't take down Shanrou, so Lian Jin became really angry, and the long sword in his hand became tricky and fierce.He is no longer in a martial arts competition, but wants Shanrou's life.

Qin Zhiyong frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "Shanrou's swordsmanship has improved a lot, but her body skills are not good. After thirty moves, Shanrou will definitely be defeated."

The strength is not as good as Lian Jin's, and his body skills are not good enough. Shanrou can only face the tough, and it is very hard to resist.

After thirty strokes, Shan Rou was knocked off the long sword by Lian Jin.

Lian Jin didn't give up, and stabbed Shan Rou's neck with a sword.

Everyone exclaimed.

Zhao Ya even covered her eyes and screamed, unable to bear to see the bloody scene.

Shanrou's thinking stopped, she smelled the breath of death.

"My life is over." Shanrou could only wait for death.

Qin Zhiyong waved his hand, and a drop of wine flew towards Lian Jin.

Bang!
The drop of wine hit Lian Jin's sword, making a crisp sound.

Lian Jin was shocked, and was repelled by a powerful force. He slid backward for nearly ten meters before standing still.

Although Lian Jin's long sword was not broken, the palm of his hand holding the sword was shocked with blood.

Qin Zhiyong's blow did not cripple Lian Jin, so he was showing mercy.

Qin Zhiyong took a sip of wine, and calmly said to Lian Jin: "Lian Jin, I have heard of your name, Mr. Hongying, in Qi State. When I saw you today, you really deserved your reputation. But, your methods are cruel. A little bit. You and Shanrou have no grievances or enmities, it's just a martial arts competition, you don't need to take people's lives, right?"

Shanrou came back to her senses, walked to Qin Zhiyong's side, and said respectfully, "Thank you, sir, for saving me."

The people present looked at Qin Zhiyong in disbelief.

Only now did they realize that Qin Zhiyong was the master hidden among the crowd.
