The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 822 Taoist Techniques [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

Looking at Ying Qushui who was standing in front of him and bowing with the etiquette of a disciple, Yan Yan really didn't want to accept this courtesy.

Originally, he and Ying Qushui were evenly matched, but now, after being defeated and then re-established, Ying Qushui can beat three of them at once.

"Tai Chi Sword and the Eight Methods of Yongzi are not secrets that cannot be passed down. Everyone in Bingzhou can learn them, so there is no need for you, senior."

Although he said so, Yan Yan did not avoid the greeting.

"Quick, go and call all the warriors from Nongyu and Bingzhou in Shouchun. I can't bear this beating for nothing!"

At the same time, Yan Yan sent a message to Yan Lingji, asking her to bring all the warriors from Bingzhou who were in Shouchun, regardless of their level of cultivation and whether they were sword practitioners or not, to watch the battle.

Yan Lingji was stunned for a moment. Because they were worried about being affected by the sword intent of the Great River, the Bingzhou sword practitioners such as Nong Yu and Xiao Yun'e did not come and stayed in the Shouchun Palace.

"Senior Ying Qushui is already the greatest swordsman throughout history, and the influence of the Great River's sword intent no longer exists. How can anyone be stronger than Ying Qushui?" He Shanggong explained.

He couldn’t see Ying Qushui clearly now.

"Senior, fellow Taoist, you are just an ant! After practicing the third realm, He Shanggong kneels down the fastest!"

Yan Yan complained.

He Shang Gong rolled his eyes at Yan Yan and said, "Do you think you can ruin my moral character just like this?"

Why was I able to dominate an entire era and become number one on the Mohist Sword Master List?
Is it because I am talented? Is it because I am strong?
Wrong, it’s because I can survive and live, and I have outlasted all the geniuses and monsters of my generation. If I’m not number one, then who is?

As for kneeling?
I can't win by fighting. Even if I could, I'm already at this age. If I risk my life once, I'll shorten my life. Admitting that others are stronger than me won't make me lose any weight!

Not only Yan Yan was mobilizing people, Jing Ke also asked Dao Zhi to recruit Mohist sword masters again.

Only those who can't see the situation clearly are still watching the fun, while those who really understand have already taken action.

For example, the Yin-Yang School and various sects in Chu are still watching the fun.

The Yan family and the Tan Tai family have already gone to mobilize people.

"I'm not sure I can beat you right now, so... wait for me!"

Looking at Ying Qushui in front of him, Yan Yan spoke.

Ying Qushui was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Yan Yan walk to a piece of grass and sit cross-legged. His figure was instantly enveloped by a righteous aura, and he had obviously entered a state of enlightenment.

"This..." Ying Qushui looked at Shao Siming and Yan Lingji with some confusion.

When they reach this level, is it so easy to gain enlightenment?

"He... is actually very talented, but he is a bit idle. He learns everything and does everything." Yan Lingji thought for a moment and then explained.

Yan Yan is very talented, especially in his comprehension, which can be said to be rare throughout history, and he can have sudden realizations anytime and anywhere.

It’s just that Yan Yan did everything, which resulted in his attention being dispersed and his learning being miscellaneous.

If one specializes in one path, he will probably be far ahead of others in that path, leaving them far behind.

Ying Qushui nodded in agreement. How could someone who could create the Tai Chi Sword and the Eight Yong Character Techniques be bad?
Therefore, Ying Qushui was also curious about what kind of surprise Yan Yan's sudden realization would bring this time.

"Since Your Majesty wants to have an epiphany..." Ying Qushui turned his gaze to He Shanggong and Jing Ke.

Among the masters present, he had fought with Tan Tai Mieming before, so he was not considered.

As for the rest, Shao Siming is a woman and also the empress, so it is difficult to take action. The only ones left are He Shanggong and Jing Ke.

"Let me go first!" Jing Ke volunteered, and he also saw He Shanggong's hesitation.

"I won't fight you. The Mo family kills one person every ten steps. The sword will kill everyone. We don't have any deep hatred."

Ying Qushui shook his head, but it was not because he looked down on Jing Ke, but because the top swordsmanship of the Mohist school were all ultimate moves and it was really not worth it.

Even if he was sure to block the one-kill-every-ten-steps attack, he would definitely be injured, and Jing Ke would most likely die.

He still had to keep his condition to fight with Yan Yan. "..." He Shanggong was a little helpless, he was just staring at him!
"Forget it, I haven't taken action for many years!"

"In addition to the Taoist and Tianren sects, there is also the Huang-Lao sect. Ji Yuan, please give me some advice!"

Only then did everyone know that Lord Heshang's real name was Ji Yuan.

After hearing what He Shanggong said, Ying Qushui was a little surprised and blurted out, "Tian Zi Yuan!"

Ying Qushui's words made everyone look at He Shang Gong. Not everyone can have the title of Son of Heaven.

Moreover, Heshang Gong was called Emperor Yuan, so why didn't he become the Emperor of Zhou?

However, He Shanggong obviously had no intention of explaining, so Ying Qushui did not explain either.

"Please!" Ying Qushui saluted with his sword.

"It's a pity that the Lulu Sword was lost to my cheap apprentice. I can only borrow one from you here."

He Shanggong smiled, but his eyes were looking at the masters from the Mohist School who had come.

He was not stupid either. The Shuixin Sword was a royal sword forged by the Qin State with all its national strength. Any ordinary sword that clashed with the Shuixin Sword would be asking for trouble. Only the Mohist School had no shortage of famous swords.

"Senior!" A leader of the Mohist School presented his sword with both hands.

He Shanggong was also a little surprised that this sword was actually a Taoist sword.

"Very good." He Shanggong took the sword.

Taoist swords are different from ordinary famous swords. They are more capable of carrying Taoist methods and performing some Taoist magic seals. Therefore, the Taoist inherited swords are Xue Ji and Qiu Li.

The sword sent by Mohist school was named Yufeng, the same as Lie Zi’s Yufeng!
"I will only use nine swords. If nine swords cannot defeat you, I lose!" Ying Qushui said confidently.

He Shanggong nodded, and Ying Qushui turned the three thousand swords into nine swords. He didn't think he could win, but he also wanted to know how many of Ying Qushui's swords he could take.

The first sword was blocked by Lord He Shang with his own swordsmanship.

The second sword was taken by He Shanggong with the Taoist Tianzong Wanchuan Qiu Shui.

With the third sword, He Shanggong used the Taoist technique of the sky clearing after the snow to win by half a move.

With the fourth sword, He Shanggong used Taoist seals to tie the score.

With the fifth sword, Duke Heshang used the Zhou Dynasty martial arts Fengming Qishan to restore his previous state, combining all the Taoist martial arts together and winning by one move, but he was unable to hurt Ying Qushui.

"I surrender!"

After five moves, Prince He Shang voluntarily admitted defeat. After Fengming Qishan's utmost sublimation, he was exhausted and did not think he could withstand Ying Qushui's next four swords, so he voluntarily admitted defeat.

Ying Qushui didn't get entangled.

He Shanggong's admission of defeat does not mean that he cannot beat Qushui, but that there is no need to fight to the death.

Among the five swords, he also saw the horror and complexity of Taoist magic. If he fought to the death, the Taoist's long internal strength and formation would also be revealed, and the outcome would be uncertain.

Therefore, if He Shanggong voluntarily admitted defeat, it would not undermine the dignity of Taoism, nor would people think that He Shanggong is inferior to Ying Qushui. It can only be said that neither of them wanted to consume too much energy.

After all, the final highlight is still Ying Qushui and Yan Yan.

The confrontation between the two men represents the future situation of Qin and Bingzhou.

If Qin wins the Battle of Qushui, it will have the initiative when facing Bingzhou in the future. Conversely, Bingzhou will have the upper hand.

Therefore, when He Shanggong admitted defeat, no one would think that the Taoists were bad. Instead, they also saw that Taoism was worthy of the name of a famous school of thought, whether in Taoism or swordsmanship.

The only pity is that I didn’t get to see the power of the Taoist formation.
