Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 431

Zhu Ji was standing beside Qin Zhiyong. Even Jin and several swordsmen walked back and forth by her side several times, but they didn't notice her.

Although Zhu Ji already knew that Qin Zhiyong had "supernatural powers", she still felt novel and shocked when she saw someone turn a blind eye to her again.

After searching the courtyard carefully, several swordsmen shook their heads at Lian Jin.

Got nothing.

The rooms in the small courtyard are simply furnished, with only a few simple pieces of furniture, no hidden compartments, and no authenticity.

It is impossible to hide people in such a small courtyard.

Lian Jin looked frustrated. He searched Wujiabao, the residences of common people, and the residences of other princes and nobles.

Except for the palace, the entire Handan City was searched in a carpet style.

Zhao Mu, Marquis of Julu, believed that no one except Qin Zhiyong could take Zhu Ji away from the Proton Mansion quietly.

It's a pity that Lian Jin didn't see Zhu Ji in the small courtyard where Qin Zhiyong lived.

Lian Jin clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Qin, I offended you just now, please forgive me. Farewell."

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "Go slowly, I won't see you off."

Lian Jin walked out of the small courtyard with a few swordsmen, and secretly said: "Qin Zhiyong, sooner or later, I, Lian Jin, will defeat you, or even kill you."

Everyone has practiced health preservation skills, who is afraid of whom.

A swordsman said to Lian Jin: "Master Hou told us to find Zhu Ji. But she is not here with Qin Zhiyong, what should we do now? Maybe Qin Zhiyong really did not kidnap Zhu Ji."

Lian Jin said expressionlessly: "If we haven't found Zhu Ji, then let's keep looking. How much do you know about Qin Zhiyong's skills? His martial arts far surpassed the master of swordsmanship. The Proton Mansion is heavily defended, and the entire Handan City is in addition to Qin Zhiyong. Can you take Zhu Ji away?"

Lian Jin felt that Qin Zhiyong was too calm and unreasonable.He believed that Zhu Ji's disappearance was related to Qin Zhiyong, but unfortunately there was no evidence.

To arrest ordinary people, the Juluhou Mansion can do whatever it wants without any reason.However, Qin Zhiyong has extraordinary martial arts skills and is a disciple of Xunzi. If he is arrested without evidence, it will cause an uproar.Even if you want to arrest them, you probably won't be able to do so without the army encircling and suppressing them.

Qin Zhiyong's martial arts were too strong.

Thinking of Qin Zhiyong's "water drop strike", even Jin still has lingering fears.

Inside the courtyard.

Zhu Ji said: "Mr. Qin, Zhao Mu's eagle dog has left, and it is finally safe now."

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Safe? It's still very early. Now it's just the beginning. If you can't find you, Zhao Mu will ask people to search for the second, third, or even fourth time, and still Sudden attack. Except for Handan City, Zhao Mu will strictly control the borders of Zhao State, especially the roads and checkpoints leading to Qin State, which will be strictly controlled."

Zhao Mu is a minister of power, a top master at playing tricks.Otherwise, Zhao Mu would not have the upper hand in the battle with Wujiapu.Qin Zhiyong has a profound spiritual realm, extraordinary martial arts, and can penetrate people's hearts, but he will not underestimate an old fox like Zhao Mu.

I only hope that Xiang Shaolong will finish the matter soon and take Zhu Ji out of Handan City and head to Qin State.In that way, Qin Zhiyong was equivalent to getting rid of a burden.

………………

Cao Qiudao is a practice genius.It is really amazing that he can become a master of swordsmanship without superior internal skills.

In the pre-Qin period, various ideas collided and a hundred schools of thought contended. Except for Taoism, Confucianism, and Mohism, which were relatively complete, the other schools of thought were still in their infancy.

The internal martial arts practice is relatively primitive, and various internal boxing theories have not been formed as in the Republic of China period.

Whether you are doing scientific research or practicing, you must have ideas and theoretical guidance.Otherwise, it is equivalent to a blind man touching an elephant.

Health-preserving exercises are the essence of Qin Zhiyong and Zhang Sanfeng's practice, and they are standard internal exercises.The theory of practice in it made Cao Qiudao's eyes bright and broadened his vision and vision.

It's like a person struggling in the dark, suddenly seeing a glimmer of light, which guides him the way forward.

Cao Qiudao seemed to have realized the Tao, with a clear idea, where he couldn't figure it out before, and where he had doubts, all suddenly became clear.

"Health-preserving exercises are worthy of being the true superior internal exercises. It contains the essence of Taoism and Confucianism. Those who create health-preserving exercises are truly masters. I don't know where Qin Zhiyong got the health-preserving exercises from?"

In order to obtain the exercises, Cao Qiudao killed three young Mohists, knowing that Shanrou learned the exercises of health preservation from Qin Zhiyong.

Qin Zhiyong's appearance is only about 20 years old, and Cao Qiudao does not believe that the health-preserving skills can be created by a "foolish boy" like Qin Zhiyong.

"Shan Rou deserves to die. It would be great if the health-preserving skills were not spread and I was allowed to practice alone." Cao Qiudao is an extremely selfish person.If you have a superior skill, you will definitely keep it for yourself and will not pass it on to outsiders.

Cao Qiudao told Shanrou that her swordsmanship has been passed down by her.In fact, Cao Qiudao's real ability to suppress the bottom line has not been passed on to Shan Rou.What he taught Shanrou was only some basic things.

…………

Shan Rou has been investigating the killing of three Mohists recently, but there is too little information to find out.

There are four known masters and above in Handan city, Qin Zhiyong, giant Zhao Ping, Hongying son Lian Jin, and Shanrou who has just reached the realm of unity of human and sword.

Shanrou didn't kill anyone, Qin Zhiyong was calm and gentle by nature, and he would not kill people for no reason.

Then only Zhao Ping and Lian Jin are left.But Shanrou is not sure whether Zhao Ping and Lian Jin killed the person.

Shanrou said: "Didn't we find any other strong swordsmen coming to Handan City recently?"

The ink practitioners present shook their heads.

Shanrou sighed, and said: "It's late at night, you all go back to sleep. We still have things to do tomorrow. Everyone should keep up their spirits."

"Yes, big sister."

Shanrou put on her sword, walked out of the Mozhe Guild Hall, and rushed back to the small courtyard.

Silent night.

There are no pedestrians on the streets of Handan City, and there are occasional dogs barking in the alleys.In such an environment, let alone a girl, even a strong man would not dare to go out without courage.

Human beings are afraid of the night, which is imprinted in blood and genes.

Shanrouyi is a bold person, walking around at night is nothing to her.

Walked a third of the way.

Shanrou suddenly stopped and said, "Come out."

There was silence and no one around.

Shan Rou continued: "Your Majesty's ability to hide is pretty good, but unfortunately, your heartbeat and breathing are a bit heavy. Otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to find you."

Cao Qiudao, wearing gray clothes and holding a long sword, came out from a dark corner.He stared at Shanrou in surprise, he didn't expect Shanrou to notice himself.

Good and Evil's sense of hearing and smell is several times sharper than that of ordinary people. If there is a lot of traffic and noise on the street, she may not be able to detect Cao Qiudao.

But now it is the dead of night, Cao Qiudao's breathing and heartbeat are slight, but the sound can be heard far away.

With Shanrou's hearing, it's not surprising to notice him.

Seeing Cao Qiudao, Shanrou instinctively wanted to call "Master".But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

Cao Qiudao sneered and said, "Shan Rou, you are really capable. I didn't expect to see you for a short time, and your skills are good. It seems that you have cultivated health-preserving skills to a very advanced level. Tell me, why did you betray the organization?"

Shanrou said, "I didn't betray anyone."

Cao Qiudao said: "If you don't kill Qin Zhiyong and disobey my order, what is it if you are not betrayal?"

Shanrou said: "I don't want to be an assassin anymore, and I don't want to continue to kill people. Mr. Qin taught me swordsmanship, passed on my knowledge, gave me dignity, and allowed me to live like a normal person. I will no longer become a person who only knows how to kill Fierce ghost. Mister treats me with kindness and kindness, how can I kill him? Mister is a scholar of heaven and man, possesses the power of ghosts and gods, no one can kill him."

Cao Qiudao laughed out of breath: "Shanrou, you are courting death."

Shanrou said: "My fate is up to me. If I guessed correctly, the murderer who killed the three Mohists a few days ago was you, Cao Qiudao."
