Zhao Mu was a powerful official and well-informed. It was difficult to hide many major events in Handan City from him.
Mrs. Ya is Zhao Mu’s woman.
Although Zhao Mu only regarded Mrs. Ya as a plaything, she was the subject of intense surveillance by the Julu House.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Chen Kang got the invitation, Zhao Mu got the news.
Zhao Mu looked livid and said angrily: "Zhao Ya, you bitch, you want to seduce Chen Kang. Do you really think that by seducing Chen Kang, you can get rid of my control? I must teach you a profound lesson!" "
Mrs. Ya is a famous beauty in Zhao State.
Since Mrs. Ya's husband passed away, Zhao Mu has been eyeing her.
In fact, Mrs. Ya's reputation as a "willful woman" was secretly promoted by Zhao Mu.
Mrs. Ya invited Chen Kang this time. It is not easy for Zhao Mu to attack Chen Kang. If it were any other man, Zhao Mu would make him disappear in an instant.
Chen Kang agreed to attend the banquet at Mrs. Ya's mansion, which made Zhao Mu very angry.
It was like a thorn piercing into his heart, making Zhao Mu unable to let go.
…
Zhao Ya's mansion.
A fifteen-year-old boy was rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Zhao Ya said: "Pan'er, what are you looking for? I'm going to entertain two distinguished guests today. You don't want to mess things up."
Zhao Pan glared at Zhao Ya and said angrily: "If you want to invite a man to your house, I can't care about it, and I don't want to care about it. I have no money. Give me the money and I will leave immediately."
Due to Zhao Ya's bad reputation, Zhao Pan was looked down upon outside.
Zhao Pan was in the rebellious stage and did not understand the difficulties of his mother Zhao Ya at all. Instead, he felt that his mother was really a waterhead and morally corrupt.
Zhao Ya sighed.
When Zhao Pan was little, she could control him and beat him if he disobeyed. But now that Zhao Pan has grown up, she can no longer control him.
Zhao Yaxun thought, she must find a powerful teacher for Zhao Pan, otherwise, if this continues, Zhao Pan will be really useless.
Zhao Ya said: "Pan'er, please stop making trouble, I will give you the money right now."
After Zhao Pan got the money, he ran out of the mansion again and went out to fool around.
…
Chen Kang came to Zhao Ya's house and met Xiang Shaolong.
Chen Kang immediately understood that Zhao Ya was not only inviting him to the banquet this time, but also Xiang Shaolong.
After casually looking at the decoration of the house and the food and drinks prepared, Chen Kang knew that Zhao Ya had put a lot of thought into this banquet.
Zhao Ya saluted Chen Kang with graceful movements: "I, Zhao Ya, have met the 'Sword Immortal' Mr. Chen."
Chen Kang waved his hand and said: "Mrs. Ya, don't praise Chen. My swordsmanship is not elegant. Besides, Chen is not a swordsman."
Xiang Shaolong said enthusiastically: "Mr. Chen Kang, your name of 'Sword Immortal' was conferred by the king himself. In the entire Handan, no one knows that you are the best in swordsmanship."
Chen Kang glanced at Xiang Shaolong without explaining.
From now on, I am afraid that the world will misunderstand me as a swordsman.
After Chen Kang took his seat, he said: "Mrs. Ya, I like to go straight. I wonder how many books you have in your house?"
Zhao Ya was stunned for a moment, her mind was racing, and she guessed that Chen Kang was a straightforward person and didn't like to beat around the bush.
Zhao Ya said with a smile: "The collection of books in my residence must be more than that in Juluhou Mansion. If Mr. Chen feels that it is not enough, I can also take you to the library in the palace."
Chen Kang's eyes lit up.
It would be great to be able to go to the palace library.
Zhao Ya continued: "Mr. Chen wants to read these books, but I have a small request."
What Zhao Ya said was a request, not a demand, which showed that she kept her attitude very low.
Chen Kang looked calm and said: "Mrs. Ya, please speak. If Chen can do it, I will never refuse."
Chen Kang was not grateful to Zhao Ya, and his mentality did not fluctuate at all.
Since Mrs. Ya made the request, Chen Kang regarded the matter as a deal.
Trading, everyone gets what they need, how can we be grateful?
Zhao Ya said: "I want Mr. Chen to accept my son Zhao Pan as his disciple."
Chen Kang frowned. He has no intention of taking on a disciple.
Seeing Chen Kang's silence, Zhao Ya felt a little uneasy, fearing that Chen Kang would refuse.
Chen Kang said: "Yes. But I can't guarantee how much Zhao Pan can learn from me."
Zhao Ya breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Chen. How much skill Pan'er can learn depends on his own transformation."
Originally, Zhao Ya wanted to ask Chen Kang to help her get rid of Zhao Mu's control. But she finally asked Zhao Pan to become her disciple.
Son Zhao Pan is Zhao Ya's only hope.
While Chen Kang was eating food, he dealt with Zhao Ya and Xiang Shaolong casually.
"Mr. Chen Kang, are the disciples of Guigu a military strategist? Or a strategist?"
"Mr. Chen Kang, is Mr. Guigu still alive?"
"Mr. Chen Kang, what level has your martial arts reached? Can you defeat ten thousand enemies? Are there any martial arts masters like you in Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism... are there any masters in martial arts like you?"
Facing Xiang Shaolong's questions, Chen Kang just nodded, or just said "hmm".
Xiang Shaolong was helpless.
After the banquet was over, Xiang Shaolong left.
Chen Kang waited until dark.
Of course Chen Kang didn't want to spend the night at Zhao Ya's house. He is waiting for Zhao Pan.
Zhao Pan finally returned home.
Zhao Pan had empty hands and a dejected look on his face. He had obviously squandered all the money he had.
Zhao Pan felt even more unhappy when he saw other men at home.
Zhao Pan said coldly to Chen Kang: "Who are you? Why don't you leave?"
Chen Kang said: "Are you Zhao Pan? You are indeed rebellious and have a very surly temper in your heart."
Chen Kang was also young and could understand Zhao Pan's current emotional state.
As a young man, if you are not rebellious, are you still a young man? But if you have anger in your heart, that's not good.
Surrility clouds wisdom.
Zhao Ya scolded: "Pan'er, don't be rude. He is Mr. Chen Kang, the Sword Immortal. From now on, Mr. Chen Kang will be your master."
Zhao Pan was shocked.
Of course Zhao Pan knew the name of "Sword Immortal" Chen Kang.
There are rumors everywhere today that Chen Kang is the Sword Immortal of Zhao Kingdom.
Many people are talking about who has stronger swordsmanship between the swordsman Chen Kang and the swordsman Cao Qiudao.
Chen Kang said: "Zhao Pan, I will come again tomorrow. Be prepared."
Chen Kang will come to Zhao Ya's house tomorrow and teach Zhao Pan just by the way, mainly to browse the books in Mrs. Ya's house.
…
On his way back to Juluhou Mansion, Chen Kang encountered a young woman wearing black clothes lying unconscious on the ground.
She was seriously injured.
Chen Kang didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
suddenly.
Several Mohist disciples ran over and were about to take the woman away.
"This woman's swordsmanship seems to be that of Qi Mo."
"She is so courageous. She dares to come to our Mohist's Guild to steal. She is really looking for death."
Chen Kang's mind suddenly changed. Is this woman a disciple of the Mohist family?
Recently, Chen Kang has also been paying attention to the news about the Mo family.
After the death of Mozi, the Mo family began to split.
The Mohists of Qi State were called Qi Moh.
The Mo family of Zhao State is Zhao Mo.
The Mo family of Chu State is, of course, Chu Mo.
The leader of the Mohists in Qi State is Cao Qiudao, who is highly skilled in martial arts and masters swordsmanship, and is known as the "Sword Master".
Cao Qiudao was also the swordsmanship teacher of King Qi.
Cao Qiudao has a great reputation in Jixia Academy.
The leader of the Mohist family in Zhao State is Yan Ping.
Although Yan Ping is also a master of swordsmanship, compared to Cao Qiudao, he is much weaker.
The leaders of Mohists in various vassal states called themselves giants.
In fact, none of them are real Mohist giants.
There is only one Mohist giant in the past. He will get the most complete Mohist inheritance and hold the Juzi Order in his hand.
The real giant of the Mohist family in this generation is Yuan Zong.
Chen Kangqiu said: "I will protect this woman. You all should retreat."
Several people's expressions changed.
One of them said in a cold voice: "You kid, please stop taking care of the Mo family's affairs. Otherwise, we, the Mohists' Guild, will cut you into pieces."
Chen Kang shook his head secretly. Doesn't the Mohist philosophy emphasize non-aggression and benevolence?
Why are the children of the Mo family so violent now?
Chen Kang waved his hand and said, "I'll say it again, you go."
Several Mohists drew their swords and attacked Chen Kang. Their sword moves were simple and unpretentious, but they focused on Chen Kang's vital points, hoping to kill Chen Kang with one blow.
Chen Kang punched and the fist shook, forcing several people to retreat.
Click.
The long swords in the hands of several people were broken by the force of the fists.
Chen Kang said coldly: "If it weren't for the sake of Mo Zi, I would have killed you. Get out!"
"Boy, who are you? Do you dare to leave your name?"
Chen Kang said: "If you don't change your name when you are walking, you won't change your surname when you sit down. Guigu Chen Kang."
Several people's pupils shrank.
"Are you the Sword Immortal Chen Kang?"
"We have recorded this account. We, the Mohists' Guild, will definitely seek an explanation from you."
Others are afraid of the Guigu disciples, but the Mo family is not.
Back then, it was not like the Mohist tycoon had never made friends with the Guigu disciples.
In the eyes of the Mohists, the Guigu lineage is no different from Confucianism and Legalism.
The people in the mountain gate cannot frighten the Mohist disciples.
They retreated because they could not defeat Chen Kang, not because Chen Kang was a disciple of Guigu.
Chen Kang took the woman back to the Hou Mansion.
…
Chen Kang gave the woman a massage, using meticulous penetration to break up the congestion in her body.
Pfft.
Dark black blood spurted from the woman's mouth. Even if her injuries were mostly healed, she would not die.
Chen Kang secretly said: "I didn't expect that this woman has good muscles and bones, strong physical fitness, and has the strength of a half-step master."
Right now.
The woman's eyelashes trembled.
Chen Kang immediately noticed that she woke up.
Chen Kang said: "When you wake up, stop pretending to be asleep. Those Mohists who are chasing you said that you are also a disciple of the Mohist family?"
The woman looked wary and said coldly: "So what? Who are you? Why did you save me?"
Chen Kang said: "Of course I have a purpose in saving you. I want to understand the Mohist family. I am very interested in the Mohist family's knowledge and martial arts."
Chen Kang did not agree with the Mohist philosophy, but he wanted the Mohist martial arts skills.
The woman said coldly: "You can't get anything from me."
Chen Kang said: "I am your savior. If I hadn't brought you back, you would have been served by Yan Ping. Your Moh family has changed. It is no longer the Moh family when Mozi was there."
The Mohist's Guild is still helping the common people and the weak, but it is not as pure as before.
No matter how noble the Mohist philosophy is, it cannot compare to the human heart and human nature. When ideals go against human nature, then the skills and doctrines of this line are destined to gradually die out.
After all, ideas and ideals cannot be eaten, let alone bring glory and wealth.
The woman suddenly attacked Chen Kang.
Chen Kang smiled slightly and easily defused her attack.
Chen Kang said: "Girl, your martial arts skills are still a bit immature. If you want to fight with Chen, you should practice hard for another fifty years."
The woman no longer attacked, but looked at Chen Kang in surprise.
"Are you the Sword Immortal Chen Kang?" The woman looked at Chen Kang curiously.
Chen Kang said: "Actually, I am not a swordsman, nor am I good at swordsmanship."
The woman said: "Sword Immortal? Huh, how arrogant. When it comes to swordsmanship, my master is the best in the world."
Chen Kang said: "Are you a disciple of Sword Master Cao Qiudao?"
The woman didn't answer, and snorted coldly, which was regarded as acquiescence.
In her mind, only her master is truly the best swordsman in the world.
Other swordsmen are not worthy of being mentored by the master.
Chen Kang said: "You should rest. If you want to escape, you can give it a try. If you can escape from Chen's hands, then I will give you a high look."
Chen Kang rescued her to find out information about the Mo family. It would be better if she could get to know Cao Qiudao.
The woman did not leave, but stayed in Chen Kang's small courtyard.
If she goes out now, she will definitely be caught by Yan Ping and the others.
It is safest to stay here with Chen Kang.
…
The Handan Mohists' Guild is the largest force among the people, not comparable to the forces of martial arts schools and gangs.
Yan Ping looked gloomy.
There were several Mohists standing in front of him.
These Mohists are Yan Ping's direct disciples.
Yan Ping said: "You are all half-level masters, and your swordsmanship is not inferior to that woman Shanrou. I didn't expect that you actually let her escape."
One of the Mohists said: "Master, we had already captured Shanrou, but Chen Kang suddenly appeared. Chen Kang's martial arts is so powerful that none of us could even catch a punch in front of him."
Several people looked ashamed.
Chen Kang's punch had no punching intention, but the punch and energy made them breathless.
They were disciples of the Mo family and were not afraid of the Guigu lineage, but they had to admit that Chen Kang's martial arts skills were truly terrifying.
Maybe, Chen Kang's swordsmanship is more powerful than his boxing skills. After all, Chen Kang was the "Sword Immortal" recognized by King Zhao.
Yan Ping frowned: "Then Chen Kang is really as strong as you say?"
Several people nodded.
Yan Ping originally thought that Chen Kang's fame was just touted by the Julu Marquis Mansion, but he didn't expect that there is no real person under the great reputation.
"I'm going to meet Chen Kang for a while!"
Yan Ping decided to go to Juluhou Mansion and ask Chen Kang to make friends with him.
Shanrou is Cao Qiudao's personal disciple. She must have some ulterior secrets when she comes to Zhao.
Cao Qiudao was ambitious and wanted to annex and integrate the Mohist forces and unify the Mohists from various vassal states.
By then, even if Cao Qiudao does not have the Juzi Ling in his hands, he will still become a true Mohist giant.
Yan Ping is the leader of Zhao Guo Mo's Guild, and of course he is not willing to hand over his power and inheritance.
But Cao Qiudao's swordsmanship is the best in the world.
There are rumors that Cao Qiudao's martial arts and swordsmanship have surpassed the master and reached a new level.
Facing Cao Qiudao, Yan Ping felt a lot of pressure.
…
Yan Ping took 300 Mohists to Juluhou Mansion.
After Zhao Mu heard the news, accompanied by Lian Jin, he came to the door of the mansion and said, "Yan Ping, what do you mean?"
Yan Ping said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Master Hou, Chen Kang protected Shanrou, a traitor of the Mo family. Please ask Master Hou to let Chen Kang hand over Shanrou. As long as the person is taken, we will leave immediately and will never embarrass Master Hou." "
Zhao Mu's face looked very ugly, and he was angry in his heart.
The people of the Mohist family were not respectful and respectful, and were not afraid of officials and powerful people. They were very difficult to deal with.
Even if the Mohist giant met the king, he would not talk about superiority and inferiority. Instead, he advocated equality for all and opposed war. How ridiculous.
Not to mention that the king did not like the Mohist family, Zhao Mu also disliked the Mohist family.
Zhao Mu said: "Yan Ping, where do you think the Juluhou Mansion is? If you say you want to make friends, you will make friends? Although you are the master of the Mohist family and are in charge of the Mohist guild of Zhao country, the Mohist family is not invincible. "
Chen Kang came out at this time and said: "Master Hou, they are here to find Chen. Let me handle it."
Zhao Mu nodded and said, "Well, leave this matter to Mr. Chen."
Zhao Mu really wanted Chen Kang to go shopping with the Mo family.
If you offend the Mohist family to death, Chen Kang will definitely suffer revenge from the entire Mohist family.
If Chen Kang is desperate, he might completely surrender to the Julu Hou Mansion.
At that time, Zhao Mu might be able to completely control Chen Kang.
Chen Kang walked up to Yan Ping.
All the Mohists looked wary and drew their swords.
The Mohists had strict discipline.
Mo Zhe is not a ragtag group, but has the embryonic form of an army.
Chen Kang said with a smile: "Yan Ping, we are all martial arts practitioners. I will give you a chance. If you beat me, I will hand over my people to you. If you lose, take your people back and don't fight again." Entanglement.”
Yan Ping nodded and said: "Then let me see your martial arts and swordsmanship, Mr. Chen. Is it really as powerful as the legend?"
Yan Ping took a deep breath, and the muscles and bones all over his body made crackling sounds, his breathing rate began to change, and his energy and blood circulated rapidly.
I saw Yan Ping's eyes shining brightly, the wrinkles on his face reduced a lot, and he seemed to be ten years younger.
Chen Kang noticed Yan Ping's physiological changes and was pleasantly surprised. He said to himself: "The Mohist martial arts skills are indeed unique. However, Yan Ping's breathing method seems to be incomplete and has quite a few flaws."
Clang.
Yan Ping turned into an afterimage and stabbed Chen Kang with his sword.
Chen Kang adjusted his strength to the same level as Yan Ping. He didn't want to defeat Yan Ping in one or two moves, but wanted to test out the Mo family's breathing techniques and fighting skills.
Chen Kang retreated and used his body skills to move to avoid Yan Ping's sword edge.
Lian Jin had a solemn look on his face and secretly thought that Yan Ping's swordsmanship was superior to his own, and he was worthy of being a master of the Mohist family.
Shanrou sat on the roof of Juluhou Mansion, carefully watching the battle between Chen Kang and Yan Ping.
Yan Ping's swordsmanship is pure Mohist swordsmanship. The swordsmanship is simple, upright, and has an air of grandeur.
Mohist swordsmanship is actually defensive swordsmanship.
The Mohist philosophy is "non-attack" and "benevolence", and martial arts and swordsmanship certainly inherit this philosophy.
Mohist swordsmanship is the strongest defensive swordsmanship.
If you practice the Mohist swordsmanship well, you can achieve a watertight defense. Even if thousands of arrows are fired at once, a wooden sword can still keep the arrows away from you.
After Chen Kang observed Yan Ping's swordsmanship, the Mohist swordsmanship no longer had any secrets in Chen Kang's eyes.
On the contrary, it was Yan Ping's breathing rate, or inner strength and mental skills, that Chen Kang could not figure out for a while.
After all, Yan Ping's breathing method is not perfect, and it is impossible for Chen Kang to immediately complete the Mohist breathing method.
However, the Mohist breathing method is indeed very mysterious. It is obviously different from the authentic Taoist breathing method, and it can be of great help to Chen Kang's practice.
After a hundred moves.
Yan Ping's physical energy began to decline, and his breathing and breathing were somewhat unstable.
After all, Yan Ping is getting older and his body functions have begun to decline.
Chen Kang landed a powerful punch.
Buzz.
The fist explodes, and the energy ripples like water waves.
Yan Ping's expression changed drastically, he withdrew his sword and quickly retreated.
Chen Kang did not pursue, and calmly said: "Yan Ping, Mohist swordsmanship is defensive swordsmanship and is used for protection, but you use it to kill people. No wonder you can't become a great master. As a Mohist master, you can't know what to do." Unity goes against the ideas of Mozi and his elders.”
Yan Ping was stunned.
Chen Kang's words were like a revelation in Yan Ping's mind.
Defensive swordsmanship?
Unity of knowledge and action?
Yan Ping seemed to have an epiphany.
It turns out that the ancestor's swordsmanship was not used to kill people at all.
No wonder I always felt a little awkward when I used Mohist swordsmanship to kill people. Even if I practiced my sword skills to perfection, I couldn't get rid of that awkward feeling.
Yan Ping's eyes were a little complicated. After taking a look at Chen Kang, he said to the Mohists: "Let's go."
After saying that, Yan Ping left with three hundred Mohists.
(Asking for votes.)
