The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 12 I will also get a sword manual in the future!

Zhong Cang smiled and nodded.

Ying Zheng asked: "I still have a question, please help me."

"Please speak, young master."

"I wonder if there are any levels of martial arts and martial artists? Just like Luowang's assassins, I've heard that Luowang's assassins are divided into heaven killers, earth killers, and ghosts and monsters."

Zhong Cang laughed and shook his head: "There is no hierarchy. There are many schools of thought and many different practices. How can we divide the levels?"

"It can only be judged by reputation. There is no false reputation. The world is full of disputes. Those who can stand out and become famous in this chaotic world must be extraordinary people."

"Like Luowang, Luowang is an organization. Their level is of course determined by the quantity and quality of tasks completed, and their overall capabilities."

"But the higher the martial arts skills, the easier it is to complete the mission. From this perspective, the higher the level, the stronger it is."

"The same is true for the Hundred Schools of Thought and many other organizations."

"Nowadays, we are in a chaotic world, and famous people all have extremely high martial arts skills. If you don't have extremely high martial arts skills, it will be difficult to travel around the world."

"Besides, everyone admires the strong. If you are not strong enough, it will be difficult to convince others. However, martial arts does not necessarily come first."

"Just like many leaders of various schools of thought, they are not necessarily the strongest in their sects. Knowledge still comes first."

"Come to think of it, there is a list in the world that you can refer to."

"Most of the masters in the world today are swordsmen. As the saying goes, a sword goes with a hero, and every master in the world wishes to have a sword."

"And an ordinary person certainly can't keep the sword in his hand."

"In the past, Master Feng Huzi, the sword master of the Chu State, commented on the famous swords in the world and arranged a sword list and set a sequence for the famous swords in the world."

"This sword manual is not only a ranking of swords, but also a ranking of people. The rank of your sword will be determined by the rank you win in a head-on challenge."

"Since this sword manual was created, swordsmen all over the world who want to become famous have tried their best to find a famous sword."

"After that, challenge the famous people in this sword manual. If you win, you can move up in the rankings. Once you are on the rankings, you can instantly go from being an unknown person to being famous."

Ying Zheng said: "The person who decided on the sword manual probably has no good intentions. Who in the world doesn't love fame? I wonder how many more people will die if this sword manual is decided."

"What the young master said makes sense."

Zhong Cang sighed again: "But it's too difficult to become famous. There are seven major countries in the world, hundreds of cities, and tens of millions of people. How can you become famous if you are not a person of extraordinary talent?"

"If one can become famous in a city, he is already a great talent. If one can become famous in a country, he is even more of a hero of the time. If one is famous throughout the world, he is a national hero."

"For a swordsman, having such a sword manual is more important. It can help him become famous faster and save him many years of wasted time."

"Compared to this, it's just a desperate effort, it's nothing."

"But this list is also limited. It only ranks swordsmen. Not only must one have great martial arts skills, but one must also wield a world-famous sword."

"Not to mention that those who don't practice swordsmanship will naturally not be ranked."

"There are also some people who have great swordsmanship, but they just don't have the luck to obtain a famous sword. Such people will not be ranked even if their martial arts skills are high."

Ying Zheng thought: "This sword manual must have been created by the princes together. It's really killing two birds with one stone."

'First, you can easily know the swordsmanship masters in the world and guard against assassinations.'

'Secondly, I know all the masters in the world, and there are basically no unqualified people in the sword manual, so I have a goal to recruit talents.'

'Third, the sword didn't fall from the sky. Only the royal families of various countries have the financial and material resources to make it. If you want to become famous, you need not only the ability, but also the sword. You can only get it by serving as a dog for the nobles.'

"This sword manual is amazing. The name is so attractive. Who can resist it?"

Zhong Cang continued, "However, please remember, young master, rankings and fame are only references, not absolutes."

"In a life-and-death struggle, who would look at this? Just because you are more famous and have a higher ranking in the sword manual, does the lower party just admit defeat and wait for death?"

"Real battles are extremely complicated and dangerous. One has to consider the right time, right place, right people, and the temperaments of both parties, as well as the cultivation methods."

"Everything is interdependent and mutually exclusive. Practicing more extreme techniques is more likely to be restrained by other techniques."

"He may be able to defeat hundreds of people in a certain aspect, but if he is targeted, a young man may be able to kill him." "There are also those who have strong internal strength but are not good at fighting, and those who use swordsmanship to kill. If they really fight, who will win?"

"Besides, if it is really a life-and-death struggle, besides a head-on confrontation, wouldn't there be assassinations behind the scenes?"

"Just like Luowang, how many of their targets were killed directly? There were many who were poisoned, murdered by conspiracy, besieged and killed, and those who used beauty traps to seduce and sudden attacks to assassinate."

"There are also many low-key hermits in the world. They have great martial arts skills and extraordinary talents, but they do not want to compete for fame and fortune, so they are not well-known."

He sighed, "There are also those who are born poor and have bad luck, who have great ambitions but waste their lives."

Ying Zheng knew that this was Zhong Cang expressing his feelings towards him.

"There are also assassins like Luowang. They are the most dangerous weapons, but they are also the most afraid of others knowing their names, so they are often referred to by code names. As an assassin, the more famous you are, the more dangerous you are."

"Just like Luowang, although we know the internal organization's hierarchy, how many people have seen the specific people? We only know that the higher the ranking, the more dangerous it is."

"If you really want to know whether the other party is strong or weak, you still have to feel the other party's spirit."

"Any expert must have a strong body. The body is the foundation, which depends on blood, qi and semen. Whether a person's body is strong and the blood is vigorous can be seen from his semen."

"Essence is the essence of Qi. Only with essence can one generate Qi. Using one's own essence to transform Qi into self-cultivation Qi is internal strength. The deeper the internal strength, the stronger one will naturally be."

"Only with essence and qi can we nourish the spirit. The movement of essence and qi can stimulate the movement of spirit. Only when the spirit exists can it live, and only when the spirit flourishes can it be strong. Only when the essence is sufficient can the qi be sufficient, and only when the qi is sufficient can the spirit be sufficient."

"These three things complement each other. Eyes are the windows to a person. You can see the other person's spirit by observing their eyes. The stronger the other person is, the more you should avoid looking into their eyes."

"If you feel scared when looking into someone's eyes, then you are most likely no match for them."

"But in any fight, you still have to use your hands, and the body is the foundation."

"If one is old and physically weak, the other two will also weaken. In other words, the older one is, the weaker one's martial power will be."

"But there is one exception."

"There is a true Qi between heaven and earth, which circulates and revolves, carrying the Yin and supporting the Yang, sticking together, firm and dense, and its Qi does not disperse. It is called the primordial Qi."

"Compared with the universe, individuals are too insignificant."

"There is the vital energy between heaven and earth. A master who has reached a very high level of cultivation can build a bridge between heaven and earth and control the vital energy of heaven and earth with his own internal energy."

"Those who can do this will become more powerful with more than one move when fighting with others."

"And it can draw the energy of heaven and earth into the body to strengthen the spirit, and then use the spirit to generate essence, so as to maintain the strength of the three again."

"This is a true master who has long since returned to his original nature. Unless you take action, you won't be able to sense it."

"However, there are not many such experts in the world, let alone unknown people."

"But what I just said are all the righteous methods. There are also those who go off the beaten track and study evil and vicious methods designed to harm people."

"That is not the right way, and often you have to pay a price yourself, it harms others and yourself. And the killer's tricks are insidious and vicious, and it is hard to guard against."

"So, in any fight, you must be extremely cautious."

"A lion needs to use all its strength to fight a rabbit. After all, in matters of life and death, accidents are inevitable, and we cannot afford such accidents."

Zhong Cang bowed to Ying Zheng:
"Young Master is of noble status and has extraordinary talent. You should focus on learning and stabilizing the world in the future. There is no need to focus on fighting in the martial arts world."

"No matter how high your martial arts skills are, they are not as important as knowledge. Just like the various schools of thought, most leaders put knowledge first. They want to assist the king, govern the country, and stabilize the people."

"A sword is a weapon, it is used to kill people, but the teachings of the sages are meant to save the world!"

"Martial power is not unimportant either. Young Master is currently living in an enemy country. Practicing martial arts can not only strengthen your body, but also provide you with the ability to protect yourself. However, you must not put the cart before the horse."

Ying Zheng bowed back: "Thank you for your teachings, Master. I will learn from you. Please arrange for my future training."

Zhong Cang nodded: "Okay! Now let's make arrangements for future studies."

"I will follow your instructions, Master. Please teach me."
