Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

“Lingyu is someone I taught, but a master can only lead you through the door; the rest is up to you. He will have to walk his own path in the end.”

The old master's eyes were full of magnanimity. Lingyu's actions were tantamount to betraying the sect in the eyes of others, but the old master never took it to heart.

"No, I'm not trying to comfort you. I just want to ask what kind of person Lingyu's lover is?"

Tian Jinzhong spoke up. He wasn't trying to comfort the old master; he was simply curious about what kind of person Zhang Lingyu liked.

"Junior brother, I want to use you as a hidden weapon right now."

"Senior brother, stop fooling around."

The two old men joked around, and as they got older, they became more open-minded about many things.

Mingming Tian Jinzhong was almost killed by the Quanxing people before, but now when they talk about Zhang Lingyu helping the Quanxing.

There was no anger, but rather a sense of mockery, as if he didn't take it to heart.

"In my opinion, neither of your two young men from Longhu Mountain are very capable. One of them is timid and doesn't dare to do anything he wants."

"He's full of ulterior motives, always wary of this and that, and he doesn't even trust his own people."

"This kid is good at getting by, but when it comes to seeking the Dao, they're far behind."

The timid and submissive one Qin Qi mentioned was Zhang Lingyu, and the one full of ulterior motives was Zhang Chulan.

"Do you think everyone is like you? If Lingyu had your talent, well, this kid might not have your temperament."

The old master couldn't help but shake his head at this point, saying that even if they were the same in terms of strength and talent, their temperament might not be the same.

“When my master described me and my doubts, he used a metaphor. He said I was like a foolish lion who looked down on everything.”

"At first I was quite confused. I've always been so low-key, so why did my master say I was arrogant?"

“I understand. My master always says I’m arrogant. I was so low-key back in Longhu Mountain.”

"If I were really arrogant, I would have announced on the spot that I would take on all the contestants by myself. I feel like I could do it."

Qin Qi then spoke.

"…………"

"That kid's really arrogant!" *2

Tian Jinzhong and the Old Celestial Master looked at Qin Qi, thinking to themselves at the same time.

"Listen to what I have to say."

The old master continued speaking.

“At first I didn’t understand what my master meant. Later he told me to go down the mountain to gain experience.”

"During my time at the foot of the mountain, I understood what he meant by 'arrogance'—it wasn't the kind of conceited arrogance that comes from looking down on everyone."

"It was overconfidence. I've been exceptionally talented since I was a child, so I've never thought about problems from the perspective of a novice."

"For example, the scheme that Master and Huaiyi set up back then, Huaiyi hiding his cultivation level was not something that was difficult for me to see through."

"But I have never thought about this matter, because I have never thought about why I should hide my cultivation level."

The Old Master never intended to hide like a mouse; if he had the ability, he would show it to everyone.

He doesn't need to hide anything. A tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind, but Zhang Zhiwei is a towering tree that reaches the heavens!

"The same goes for Junior Brother Tian. I went down the mountain with him to find the Big-Eared Bandit. With my intelligence, I could have easily imagined that this trip would be anything but safe."

0 · Requesting flowers ····· ·····

"But I never imagined my junior brother would turn out like this."

When they went down the mountain to find Zhang Huaiyi, not only Tian Jinzhong was attacked, but the Old Celestial Master was also attacked.

However, he killed all those who attacked him. At the time, he didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until he returned to the mountain that he learned that Tian Jinzhong had also been attacked.

This was Zhang Zhiwei's only regret back then. If he and his junior brother had gone down the mountain together and searched together, perhaps this wouldn't have happened.

"My arrogance lies in never thinking about problems from the perspective of ordinary people. I'm telling you this today so that you can use me as a mirror to reflect on yourself."

After the old master finished speaking, he looked at Qin Qi. Today, he had originally intended to give Qin Qi the books in the library as a token of his gratitude.

But who knew that the kid would read everything that night, and the prepared gifts would be gone, leaving only something quite valuable.

All that's left are the Five Thunder Orthodox Method and the position of Celestial Master. He can't really pass on the position of Celestial Master to the disciples of Quanzhen Sect, can he?

Moreover, Qin Qi probably wouldn't agree either.

After much thought, the only thing the old master could offer was his life's experience in cultivating Taoism.

It is hoped that Qin Qi can use his own experience as a mirror to reflect on his own path of cultivation, so as to help the other party go further.

“What you said makes sense, but I don’t think so.”

"Playing dumb to fool the enemy, trying to understand the sheep's thoughts, and hiding one's shortcomings—these seem like good strategies that make one more well-rounded."

"But it also makes people lose their edge; if you pretend to be weak to take advantage of others for too long, you will really become a pig."

"When a lion tries to understand its prey's thoughts, over time its ferocity will be worn down, its claws will no longer be sharp, and its teeth will no longer be keen!"

....... ....

"Hide your strength because you're not strong enough. If you're strong enough, what does it matter if everyone sees it?"

"Can they beat me?"

As Qin Qi spoke, the old master kept staring at Qin Qi's eyes. He noticed that the other man's eyes were not filled with arrogant conceit.

Rather, it was steadfastness, a firm belief in himself. He was not speaking arrogantly, but rather explaining his path and expressing his will.

"Baojianfeng comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold!"

"The path of cultivation has always been fraught with difficulties, and it is precisely because of these difficulties that one's soul and body are constantly refined!"

"When I embarked on this path, I only had two choices: either keep moving forward until the very top, or die!"

"No retreat, no stopping, no turning back! Victory means life, defeat means death! We're going all in, risking everything!"

Qin Qi felt that whether it was hiding his talents, being humble, or becoming more tactful, it was all just a matter of fear!

Once you make a decision, it's either go for it or die. Once you make that decision, you don't need anything else.

"Even so, I still remember the saying: there are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. There is no strongest, only stronger."

"Perhaps one day in the future, someone who is more diligent, more talented, and more determined than me will appear."

"My opponent may have endured more hardship than I have, and may be stronger than me. I can't guarantee that I will win, but I can guarantee that I will die on the way forward!"

As Qin Qi spoke, a powerful aura erupted from his body, which shot straight into the sky!

"Good lad, I underestimated you. I thought you were a lion like me, but I was wrong. You are a soaring dragon!"

"Soaring above the nine heavens, battling across the vast wilderness!"

The old master couldn't help but laugh; he understood how his master had felt when he looked at him back then.

This feeling of helplessness at one's own arrogance, coupled with pride in one's lofty aspirations and unwavering will.

"Youth should be carefree and unrestrained, riding horses and singing wildly, living up to the life of youth!"

"Senior brother, sometimes being sharp and outspoken is not necessarily a bad thing, and sometimes being tactful and mild-mannered is not necessarily a good thing."

"After all, heroes have emerged from among the young since ancient times. It is this fearless and undaunted nature that allows them to create one miracle after another."

Tian Jinzhong smiled as he spoke. His eyes gleamed with excitement; Qin Qi's words had stirred his heart!

There is a kind of impulse that, even if all kinds of dangers are befall me, I am fearless and dare to fight for it!

He felt that nothing in the world could stop this kind of will, and nothing could defeat someone like Qin Qi.

In the following days, the three of them—the Celestial Master, Tian Jinzhong, and Qin Qi—discussed the Dao for a long time, for a full three days.

Qin Qi had always thought that the most precious thing about Longhu Mountain was the books and classics accumulated over thousands of years, but after a discussion, he realized that the most precious thing about Longhu Mountain was the books and classics accumulated over thousands of years.

He then realized that the most precious things about Longhu Mountain were the life insights of the two elders, the Old Celestial Master and Tian Jinzhong, who had accumulated over a hundred years of life experience!

Inanimate objects are inanimate objects after all, and the words in books are just words after all; they cannot compare to living people!

Qin Qi left three days later. Tian Jinzhong and the Old Celestial Master did not see him off, and Qin Qi did not have anyone see him off either; he left on his own.

Everyone knew when he came, but no one knew when he left.

[Received a mission from the Qin's Moon world. Accept?] [Death]

Chapter Sixty-One: The Request from Qin's Moon, the Beautiful Snow Maiden!

[Have you received a quest in the world of Qin's Moon? Accept it?]

[You will receive a random abbreviation upon completing the task.]

"The Moon Over Qin Dynasty? The Hundred Schools of Thought!"

After a moment's thought, Qin Qi accepted the mission, and the surrounding scenery immediately began to change.

In the blink of an eye, he found himself in an unfamiliar wilderness, surrounded by a procession moving forward.

[Mission accepted, time travel complete, initiating current world identity generation, initiating detailed mission generation.]

[World: Qin's Moon]

[Mission: 'Suppress all other schools of thought!']

[Task Reward: One random affix]

[After completing the mission, you will return to your current point in time.]

"I will silence all other schools of thought and stand against them all by myself!"

"I love challenges!"

Qin Qi did not flinch at all when he saw this task; on the contrary, he found it very interesting—to fight against all the schools of thought by himself.

This is really a great challenge!

[Current World Identity:]

You are a criminal wanted by seven nations. To conceal your identity, you disguised yourself as a musician and infiltrated an orchestra.

This is the entourage of the Zhao Kingdom's dancer, Xue Nu. You are about to embark on a journey to other countries to seek peace.

You are preparing to travel with them to the next country.

"A hellish start, with enemies everywhere I look."

Qin Qi smiled and shook his head. The system was probably worried that the task of "Suppressing the Hundred Schools of Thought" wasn't difficult enough.

They even added the identity of a wanted criminal from seven countries to it. What a hellish start. He doesn't even have a dog.

…………………………………………………………………………

"Qin Qi, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and come over here. Once we get into the city, we'll find a place to put on a show."

A man walked over, reached out and grabbed Qin Qi's clothes, leading him to a carriage and the front of the carriage.

Qin Qi was puzzled by what the other person was talking about. He followed the other person to the carriage and found that the person sitting inside was Xue Nu.

"This guy is our musician. He's not very skilled, but he's the only one who can do it."

"He's fine as long as he can play music."

The Snow Woman took out some money and handed it to the man. Upon receiving it, the man immediately showed a happy expression and then said to Qin Qi.

"From now on, you can just stick with this lady. Our band doesn't need you anymore."

The man took the money and ran away, as if he was afraid that if he was even slightly slow, the Snow Woman would take the money back.

"Oh no! Have I been sold?!"

Qin Qi looked at the person who had run away, then at the Snow Maiden, and realized that he seemed to have been sold out without even realizing it.

"It's not exactly a sale. I just spent some money to ask him to find a musician. Don't worry, I will pay you for every performance after that."

The Snow Maiden looked at Qin Qi. Her appearance was cold and beautiful, but her voice and tone were very gentle.

"I wonder if you could play a piece right now? I'd like to hear how good your skills are."

"Skill? I dare not say anything else, but I am the best in terms of technique. I will start performing now. Give me the instrument."

"Huh? Don't you have one yourself?"
