Duan Wangye's order, how dare the guards disobey? When he returned home, he naturally didn't dare, but followed from a distance and continued to "protect" Qin Zhiyong.

Qin Zhiyong walked on the street and felt that the people around him, whether men, women or children, had a decadent atmosphere, as if their spirit was suppressed. Of course, there are also arrogant and domineering people, but they are all flag people.

The era of the Qing Dynasty was not like the Han and Tang dynasties, where people were full of vigor and self-confidence. To be honest, Qin Zhiyong didn't like the Qing Dynasty. The readers here are not really readers. They study not for the sake of self-cultivation, not for self-improvement, not for the country and the people, but for the sake of becoming high-level slaves.

High-level minions, with privileges and status, but their personalities are not independent, and they still have to cater to the wishes of their masters. No matter how advanced a minion is, he is still a minion. It's a very sad thing.

However, this is true of the big times. Qin Zhiyong can't change the status quo of society. The only thing he can change is himself.

It is said that the great Confucians of the previous era were profoundly learned, pure-minded, wise, and sincere. can know the past, know the future, and can see through people's fate. More powerful than those so-called physiognomy masters.

It sounds mysterious, like a myth.

But as Qin Zhiyong's spiritual realm gradually deepened and he understood more and more truths, he knew that this was not a myth, but a law, or "Tao".

is like a person who is addicted to gambling, even if he is a good gambler and has won a lot of money recently, Qin Zhiyong can conclude that he will definitely end up penniless and miserable in the future. Unless, he stops gambling and is an upright person, can he change his fate.

Was the Qing Dynasty a feudal society? In fact, in Qin Zhiyong's view, it is a semi-slave and semi-feudal society, which is a kind of regression of civilization. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty should not be called an emperor, but a tribal chieftain. It's just that the territory and population of this tribe are very large. That's all.

Qin Zhiyong wandered around the street, stopping and stopping, and if he smelled the fragrant stall, he would sit down and taste the food on the stall.

The guards observed Qin Zhiyong from a distance, and when they saw that he really showed no signs of escaping, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Qin Zhiyong's boxing skills are strong, if he wants to escape, the guards can't stop him.

When he walked to a medical hall, Qin Zhiyong stopped, hesitated, and walked in.

The guards wondered in their hearts, what did Qin Zhiyong do when he went to the medical hall? Grab the medicine? However, Qin Zhiyong's face was ruddy and full of energy, not like he was sick.

Qin Zhiyong entered the medical hall for two hours. The guards were waiting impatiently outside before he stepped out.

As soon as Qin Zhiyong left, the guards rushed into the medical hall and asked the doctor sitting in the hall, "What did that Taoist priest do in the medical hall just now?" ”

Afraid that the doctor would lie, the guard took out the waist card of Duanwangfu and shook it in front of him.

Seeing that it was someone from Duanwang's Mansion, the doctor immediately respectfully informed the guards of the details of Qin Zhiyong's entry into the medical hall.

After hearing this, the guard felt a little unbelievable and asked, "You mean, that Taoist priest, wants to learn medical skills from you?" ”

The doctor said, "The old man doesn't dare to have a lie. ”

The guard nodded, turned and walked out of the infirmary.

………………

Qin Zhiyong returned to Duanwang's Mansion, picked up the lamp to read, and when he was about to sleep, he took out his pen and ink to write a letter to Chen Jiagou to report his safety. Tell Chen Zhengying and Yang Yuqian that they have arrived in the capital safely.

The guards were in the study, reporting to King Duan about Qin Zhiyong's actions this afternoon.

King Duan listened to the guard's report, and was equally surprised in his heart: "You mean, Qin Zhiyong, that little Taoist priest, went to the medical hall to learn medical skills?" His Tai Chi has already entered the house. If you don't hone your boxing skills, why do you want to learn medical skills? ”

The guard said, "The minions are strange too. Could it be that Taoist priests are studious? Master, Qin Zhiyong doesn't look like he's going to run away, do you want to continue to monitor him tomorrow? ”

King Duan thought for a while, waved his hand, and said, "No need." Since Qin Zhiyong has a relationship with Chen Zhengying, the king is not afraid of him escaping. If he dares to escape, this king will attack Chen Jiagou. Hmph, studying medicine? In a few days, this king will learn martial arts with Qin Zhiyong again, if his martial arts boxing skills do not improve a little, he can't stop this king's fists and feet, and he will be killed, don't blame this king's fists and feet too heavy. It was the little Taoist priest who killed himself. ”

King Duan and the guards didn't know that Qin Zhiyong's cultivation was not about force, but about knowledge and wisdom. Practicing boxing, Qin Zhiyong is just to have the ability to protect himself when he encounters a crisis.

Practicing fists and feet, in Qin Zhiyong's opinion, is only a part of self-cultivation.

Cui Tianba used poison to give Qin Zhiyong a relatively big touch.

There are thousands of poisons in the world, and any poison may kill people. Poison is much more terrible than fist and foot kung fu.

The real master of using poison may be powerless, but he can configure poison and kill hundreds or thousands of martial arts masters.

In order to prevent it from happening, Qin Zhiyong decided to learn medical skills.

Since ancient times, poison and medicine have not been separated, harming people and saving people, just a thought. Poison, when used in the right place, can also be a life-saving elixir. If the elixir is used incorrectly, it can also harm others and oneself.

………………

It was noon that day.

Qin Zhiyong played Tai Chi in the room, stretching his muscles and bones, and moving his qi and blood. The flow of qi and blood made Qin Zhiyong feel warm all over his body, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.

The mind is not chaotic, and the action is a multiplication method to strengthen the body and increase physical fitness. Qin Zhiyong's physical fitness has not reached the limit, and it is still growing. It is estimated that in another two or three months, his physical strength will surpass that of Duan Wangye.

The food in Duanwangfu is diverse and nutritious. Eating well, Qin Zhiyong's physical strength will naturally increase.

If the average person eats too well, the nutrients accumulate too much, and they can't digest it, it won't take long for them to grow into a fat person. But Qin Zhiyong won't. His digestion ability is several times stronger than that of ordinary people. He reads and thinks every day, cultivates himself and practices boxing, which requires a lot of nutrients and energy.

Even if it was the diet in the palace, it could only barely guarantee Qin Zhiyong's physical consumption.

The energy and nutrients consumed by boxing are smaller. In particular, cultivating the mind, concentrating on thinking about problems, and consuming nutrients and energy are the main ones. In Chenjiagou, the food was not abundant, and Qin Zhiyong did not dare to practice boxing desperately and focus too much on thinking about problems. He was restrained at that time, afraid that his second uncle Chen Zhengzhou would be poor.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Qin, my master is invited." It's the housekeeper's voice.

Qin Zhiyong retracted his fists, stood up straight, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and said, "Wait, butler." I'll change my clothes and I'll go with you to see the prince. ”

After a while, Qin Zhiyong opened the door in a brand-new robe and walked out.

The housekeeper took Qin Zhiyong to the back garden of the palace.

Duanwang is practicing boxing.

"Qin Zhiyong, come, accompany this king through a few moves." Duanwang said, "You have been going to the hospital every day for the past few days, and I haven't seen how you practice boxing. ”

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Recently, I seem to have become interested in medical skills, so I found an old doctor in a medical hall to apprentice. I hope I can get something. Lord, please give me a trick. ”

In the past two days, King Duan felt that his boxing skills had improved again, so he asked Qin Zhiyong to learn martial arts.

"Okay."

King Duan was not polite and directly attacked Qin Zhiyong.

Qin Zhiyong's demeanor was calm, and he carefully observed King Duan's fist and foot offensive.

With the improvement of his state of mind and the deepening of his understanding of fist and foot kung fu, Qin Zhiyong found that no matter what action a person makes, the body will give a relative response in advance.

It's like when you get out of your feet, your shoulders will tilt before your feet come out. As long as you stare at the other person's shoulder, you can achieve the effect of "unpredictable prophet".

If the upper body does not move and the shoulders are not tilted, can I get out of my feet?

Of course.

However, in that case, the force and speed of the kick will be greatly reduced, and it may not be able to kick the enemy.

Fighting, the purpose is to knock out the opponent. It is necessary to give full play to the strength, speed, and accuracy of a punch and kick in order to receive good results.

There is a pattern to everything.

It is said in "University" that things have a beginning and an end, and if you know the order, you will be the shortest.

In the process of exploring and seeking the Tao, it is very important to summarize the rules.

Every formula and every theorem in mathematics, physics, chemistry and other natural disciplines is a summarized law. In fighting, there are rules to follow. As long as it is summed up, integrated and applied, it can be invincible.

Qin Zhiyong has been able to be honest and sincere. With a pure heart and good at summarizing rules, he learns everything very quickly. After learning medical skills for a few days, the medical books collected by the old Chinese medicine doctor in the medical hall were basically read by him. All that's left is how to absorb the experience and hone your skills.

Duanwang's boxing skills are improving, and Qin Zhiyong's boxing skills are also improving. Boxing, like a chef's knife skills, is easy to learn but difficult to master, and never ends.

Qin Zhiyong's movements, compared to before, are more supple and smooth, resolving Duanwang's fist and foot attacks, and it is easy to relax.

After fighting with Qin Zhiyong for more than sixty moves, King Duan suddenly stopped.

Qin Zhiyong took a few steps back and stood up straight, looking extremely upright.

"Lord Wang, your fist is stronger than before. Congratulations. Qin Zhiyong clenched his fists and said sincerely.

King Duan snorted coldly: "This king's martial arts have improved, but he still can't defeat you." What's the gratification? What is there to congratulate? ”

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Is the prince practicing martial arts just to defeat Qin?" ”

Duanwang was stunned. I practice martial arts by myself because I like it. Defeating one opponent after another is nothing more than proving that you are stronger than anyone else.

As for the true meaning of practicing martial arts, Duanwang really hasn't considered it.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Lord Wang, I will retire first." ”

Duan Wang said, "Wait. ”

Qin Zhiyong asked, "What else does the prince command?" ”

King Duan said: "It's noon now, stay and have lunch with this king." ”

Qin Zhiyong said: "Then Qin is disrespectful. Thank you for the lunch. ”

A few months later.

Qin Zhiyong's physical fitness and boxing skills have surpassed Duanwang. But in front of King Duan, he can only compete with King Duan at most, and he is still at a disadvantage.

Hiding is the way to survive.

………………

Chenjiagou.

Somehow, Chen Zhengying has not received Qin Zhiyong's letter.

Chen Zhengying: They were all a little anxious in their hearts.

Chen Zhengying, Yang Yuqian, Chen Shaoqi, and Chen Zhengzhou plan to go to the capital. Investigate Qin Zhiyong's situation, after all, Qin Zhiyong stood up for Chen Jiagou and followed Cui Tianba to the Duanwang Mansion in the capital. If Qin Zhiyong has misfortune, Chen Zhengying will have trouble sleeping.
