Ambition of the Wind and Cloud

After talking with Wuming, a new door suddenly opened in front of Yingzheng. Yingzheng showed signs of a breakthrough in his state of mind. Once he returned to the Tianxiahui, he retreated and realized, and when he left the seclusion in a month, his skills increased by another point.

Because the legalist kungfu is overbearing, it cannot be practiced together with other kendos, so Ying Zheng never considered the possibility of practicing other kendos.Swordsmanship cannot go hand in hand, but philosophy can.He once said to Nie Feng, "To be rigid, to be soft, to be extremely extreme, all paths lead to the same goal." This is true for Momen's kung fu, but why not for Legalist kung fu?

Shang Yang, the sage of law in the state of Qin, felt that the bottleneck had arrived in the later period, and it was difficult to break through. After thinking hard, he decided to start with the three schools of 'law', 'shu' and 'shi'. Unfortunately, he died without success.Ying Zheng thought that he had practiced these three schools at the same time, so there would be no such shackles. Thinking about it now, he still fell into a misunderstanding.All schools of thought can coexist for a while, and they have their own way.Mohism and Legalism are both prominent schools in the pre-Qin period. Legalism has received the achievements of several generations, while Mohism emphasizes the long-term spirit.

In Momen's heart method, "universal love" means the great unity of the world; "non-aggression" means the stability of the world; "understanding ghosts" means the inheritance of civilization; "heavenly will" means the laws of nature.In addition, appreciating the virtuous, advocating the same, saving money, and saving money are all practical national policies.As for the Legalists... If there are no rules, there will be no squares, and if there is no way, a country will be in chaos.Therefore, after the Qin Dynasty, everyone criticized the Qin law, but everyone was Confucianism outside and law inside.

Momen educates people with morality, which is lenient and unrestrained, while Legalism uses punishment to punish, which is not humane.Thinking about it carefully, the two are indeed complementary.

It's not that he didn't consider using the same gentle Confucianism and Legalism to complement each other, but in Ying Zheng's view, the openness of Mohist thought is far superior to Confucianism.Mohism's research on the laws of nature and its spirit of exploring new things are beyond the reach of Confucianism.

……

With Ying Zheng's daily thinking, he gradually improved.After reaching the realm of Yingzheng, promotion is not easy after all, and this promotion is even more rare compared to the previous epiphany.After going to the Zhonghua Building, Yingzheng's mood is much more peaceful than before, and he is not anxious because of it. He just continues to practice his skills every day, in order to progress step by step and accumulate steadily.

With Ying Zheng's unremitting efforts every day, the Yanlei Sword Art has broken through the second level.In this set of swordsmanship created by himself, the third to fourth level is a watershed, and the sixth to seventh level is another watershed.It is not difficult to break through the first three floors, but only after breaking through the fourth floor can Ying Zheng's strength truly reach another level.

In his spare time, Ying Zheng also cared about the progress of his daughter You Ruo's martial arts training, and urged her to practice martial arts every day.

It is worth mentioning that when You Ruo chose the way of the sword, he also chose the overbearing legalist style, which was really beyond Ying Zheng's expectations.Facing Yingzheng's doubts, the little You Ruo replied solemnly: "Daddy practiced hegemony, so You Ruo also practiced hegemony. In this way, You Ruo will be able to help daddy in the future."

Although Tong Yan Tong Yu was naive and might not be true, it softened Ying Zheng's heart a bit, and since then he has gradually regarded You Ruo as his own daughter, rather than a simple responsibility.However, it is not easy for Legalists to be overbearing, and there are very few peerless masters who can make a name for themselves.This path has extremely strict requirements on character and aptitude. If You Ruo proves to be unsuitable for the overbearing legalists in the future, Ying Zheng will have to let her choose another path.

Ying Zheng did not raise You Ruo in the small building in the middle of the lake like Xiong Ba did, but placed her in the Tianxiahui, where he had daily contact with everyone in the gang.His daughter should not be a pampered young lady who is ignorant of worldly affairs. Since You Ruo has chosen the legalist dominance, she has to see more in order to go further and live longer.Although he wanted You Ruo to increase his experience, Ying Zheng would not ignore her safety.Because there are many people in the gang who are lurking in Tianxiahui and have enemies with him, Ying Zheng also sent secret guards to protect You Ruo, and gave You Ruo a bottle of detoxification pill.

When Ying Zheng returned to No. [-] Under Heaven, You Ruo, who had just reached Ying Zheng's thigh, pulled his sleeve reluctantly.Ying Zheng was cruel, and broke away from her little hand that was holding her sleeve: "Good practice, tomorrow dad will come to see you." During these days of getting along, Ying Zheng found that if he was present, You Ruo couldn't really be quiet. He was determined to practice, so he gave up his plan to place her in the first floor of the world, and only went to see her regularly every day after she finished practicing.

After returning to the isolated peak, seeing the maple leaves all dyed and the mountain red all over, Ying Zheng realized that it was already autumn.Before he knew it, he had been in this world for more than two months.

On the side, Wen Chouchou had already come up to him and said, "Oh, boss, you are back, but Chouchou has been waiting for you here for a long time..."

Before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng made a silent gesture and looked towards the courtyard ahead.

Wen Chouchou followed Ying Zheng's gaze, and saw three figures, one big, two small, squatting under the sun in the courtyard.The two younger ones were already sweating profusely, and they had obviously been squatting for a long time, their physical strength was exhausted, but they still held on; the older one was better than the two younger ones, but the slight trembling of his legs from time to time showed his true condition.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng nodded slightly.In any case, these children can be said to be tough in martial arts, and they are all good materials that can persevere.

Sensing Ying Zheng's arrival, the three respectfully called "Master", but did not stop.In fact, the scene in front of them also happened at the beginning of their practice. At that time, when they saw Ying Zheng, they began to accept their exercises and wanted to salute Ying Zheng. Don't give up halfway, and also said that no matter who comes here in the future, without his permission, the four of them are not allowed to accept the merits without his permission.

Now, Ying Zheng saw that they had reached their limit and the time was almost up, so he ordered them to stop.The three little boys were struggling to support themselves with that thought, and their bodies suddenly withered away, as if they were so tired.They have been squatting for a month and a half, and they should have gotten used to it long ago, but the time of squatting every day will increase by a quarter of an hour compared to the previous day.At the beginning, the time was short, and they didn't notice anything. Now, the accumulation of a few quarters of an hour is really exhausting, and they lost half of their lives.

Qin Shuang was still gentle, but his body was full of perseverance; Bu Jingyun pursed his lips and looked at his little arms and legs, a little stubborn and unwilling; Duanlang's eyes were bright, although he was sweating profusely, Humans have a fighting spirit, like a little wolf who will never admit defeat.

His eyes wandered around for a while, and Ying Zheng frowned: "Where is Nie Feng?"

Because of his age, Qin Shuang has always regarded himself as a big brother, and took good care of Nie Feng and others. Seeing this, he stepped forward and said, "Returning to Master, Junior Brother Feng caught a cold yesterday, and he started to have a fever early this morning, so he couldn't come." Practice."

"It's like this..." The frowning brows gradually eased: "Can you ask the doctor to come and see?"

Hearing this, Qin Shuang was a little worried and a little embarrassed: "No. Those doctors didn't dare to go in and out of the No. [-] Building without Master's order, so they just used a water-soaked veil to cover their foreheads—now." Kong Ci' took care of Junior Brother Feng by his side."

"Forget it, I'll go and see him. Wen Chou Chou, go and find a doctor to take care of Nie Feng. After a while, my dinner will be delivered directly to Nie Feng's place. If any of the four of them get sick in the future, go find a doctor directly That is, don’t worry about this or that, I am not a pedantic person.”

"Yes." Wen Chouchou replied respectfully, looking at the back of Ying Zheng entering the building, he was happy in his heart, only felt that his master had become more humane in recent days.If the gang leader can keep doing this, it will be a good thing for those who are close to him.

The light in Nie Feng's room was dim, with only one candle burning in front of the window.

The little figure curled up in a ball on the bed, seemed to be having a nightmare, very uneasy, and kept shouting: "Father——Dad—don't leave the wind behind!" Such a hoarse, heart-piercing scene, Those who hear it can't help but feel pity. 'Kong Ci' squeezed the wet handkerchief several times to change it for Nie Feng, but Nie Feng struggled violently.

Ying Zheng saw that Nie Feng's cute little face was as red as a shrimp, for some reason, a trace of displeasure rose in his heart, and he waved to 'Kong Ci': "If you don't know how to serve, just stand aside."

'Kong Ci' shivered in fright at his cold tone.

Ying Zheng walked up to Nie Feng's bed, and tentatively covered Nie Feng's hot face with his slightly cool hand. The little boy who had been struggling just now miraculously calmed down, as if he had finally found a haven where he could rest at ease. He even rubbed his cheek against Ying Zheng's hand, and called vaguely: "Father, father..." The voice was soft and waxy, full of intimacy and nostalgia.

'Kong Ci' observed for a while, and seeing that Ying Zheng's concern for Nie Feng did not seem to be fake, Fang said cautiously: "Master Feng is a sensible and distressing child, and he always helps Master Shuang to take care of Master Lang and Yun. Master. Some time ago, Master Lang and Master Yun had an awkward dispute, and Master Lang was very unhappy. In order to make Master Lang happy again, Master Feng even tied a string of bamboo wind chimes for him. Master Feng tied another string recently, saying yes I want to give it to the leader, the string of bamboo wind chimes is beside his pillow..."

Hearing this, Ying Zheng looked up and found a string of exquisitely crafted bamboo wind chimes next to Nie Feng's pillow.As if thinking of something, Ying Zheng took Nie Feng's hand and saw several small cuts and scratches of different shades on that immature hand, his eyes darkened: "Continue talking."

'Kong Ci' swallowed his saliva, and subconsciously breathed lightly: "Slave, dare to ask the lord to take care of Master Feng more often. This servant can tell that Master Feng is... very lonely. Master Feng, his parents died early , and admire the leader very much. If the leader can show even a little concern for him, he will be happy for a long time."

Of course, the four children in the first floor of the world are all parents dead, and Nie Feng is not the only one who is lonely, but 'Kong Ci' thinks that Nie Feng is the most lovable person.Maybe it's because Qin Shuang was too stable and past the age that people need to care about, Duanlang was too careless and hid his emotions too deeply, making people don't know what to do, while Bu Jingyun was emotionless, as if He is invincible and will never be sad, caring seems a bit superfluous to him.

"You are indeed presumptuous." Ying Zheng said flatly: "As a slave, you should know what to say and what not to say. If you don't know, I don't mind ordering someone to teach you again."

'Kong Ci' shrank his neck, a chill came over his body, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Ying Zheng took the wet handkerchief from 'Kong Ci', and replaced the handkerchief that had been soaked in the high temperature between his foreheads, and slowly smoothed the handkerchief with knuckle fingers, obviously not used to doing this. His movements seemed unfamiliar and stiff: "How did he get sick?"

'Kong Ci' buried his head a little lower: "Last night, Young Master Feng got up to use water, and he felt a little bad after being exposed to the wind."

"Then why didn't you tell me last night?"

"Master Feng said that he just needs to rest for a while and he will be fine. He doesn't want to cause trouble for everyone."

Ying Zheng paused, and glanced at Nie Feng, who was half buried in his arms at some point.He was not a soft-hearted person, but he was moved by this child again and again. Apart from the fact that the child's temperament was somewhat like Fusu's, he also had to admit that this child was indeed lovable.

With his well-behaved and sensible temperament, Nie Feng can easily win the love and affection of adults.

At this moment, Wen Chouchou said outside: "Master, the doctor has come to see Master Feng." Ying Zhengfang took back his scattered thoughts a little.

……

It's just an ordinary fever, not serious, but the child's resistance is weak after all. The doctor suggested that it's best to rest these days, don't be in a hurry to practice, and then left a prescription, and left in a hurry. I still feel a thorn in my back.

After the medicine was finished, when the strong bitter taste came in, Ying Zheng noticed that Nie Feng unconsciously moved his small nose, and his brows were furrowed, showing some resistance.Ying Zheng was never a person who would pamper children, so he shook Nie Feng awake immediately.

Nie Feng opened his eyes in a daze, almost thinking that he was still dreaming: "Guard...?"

"Can I drink the medicine by myself?" Ying Zheng pushed the black medicine towards Nie Feng.

Nie Feng was completely awake now, took the medicine bowl from Ying Zheng without saying a word, raised his head and began to drink.He doesn't like to drink medicine, but he didn't feel stagnant or hesitant when he drank the medicine. His throat rolled and he swallowed a few times, and the bowl of bitter medicine was poured into Nie Feng's stomach.Ying Zheng understood that this child is indeed a master who doesn't like to cause trouble for others.

"Master..." Nie Feng's eyes glanced at Ying Zheng from time to time, with some anticipation and some anxiety.

Ying Zheng stared at him deeply, "You are my disciple, and it's okay to cause me a little trouble now and then, but the thing of getting sick due to negligence is a never-ending thing."

"Yes, Feng'er remembered." Nie Feng smiled and nodded in agreement. At that moment, his eyes seemed to fall into the sky full of stars, which were astonishingly bright.

On the second day, Nie Feng's body temperature dropped a lot. Although it was still a bit hot, it was not as hot as the first day, and he had some strength.

When Duanlang and Qin Shuang came to visit Nie Feng after practicing, Bu Jingyun didn't follow him, and Duanlang said to Nie Feng with disdain: "I can see that Bu Jingyun is cold-hearted, you are right No matter how good he is, he can't see it. You see, now that you are sick, he doesn't even come to see you, it's really... From now on, Nie Feng, you should avoid dealing with Bu Jingyun."

For some reason, Duanlang has a natural hostility towards Bu Jingyun. This hostility is not only due to a disagreement in personality, but also because Duanlang is keenly aware of Bu Jingyun's potential threat to him. Therefore, He always spared no effort to find opportunities to persuade Qin Shuang and Nie Feng to stay away from Bu Jingyun, but the latter two were open-minded and never took it seriously.

Nie Feng smiled, and looked at Duanlang who was arguing for himself with a good temper: "I think Brother Yun must have his reasons. Anyway, we are all brothers, and we get along harmoniously, and Master is also good." rest assured."

Qin Shuang also nodded: "That's the reason. Brothers should understand each other and help each other instead of being suspicious of each other."

Duanlang rolled his eyes: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, okay? You can continue to be your good people! Don't regret it when you are pitted by Bu Jingyun someday." The last sentence , his voice became much softer, almost to a whisper, Qin Shuang and the two of them didn't know if they heard it, and the three of them were speechless for a while.

No one knew that Bu Jingyun, who was being talked about by the three people, was sitting on the steps with one leg bent, carving something with the carving knife in his hand, and he could vaguely see that it was a human figure...

At night, Nie Feng was about to fall asleep when there was a knock on the door.He rubbed his eyes, opened the door, and saw Bu Jingyun standing outside the door expressionlessly.

Nie Feng yawned: "Brother Yun, why is it you? It's so late, what can you do?"

"Here, engrave whatever you want. If you don't like it, just throw it away." Bu Jingyun's eyes were still so calm, as if nothing in the world could move him.He handed something in his hand to Nie Feng's hand, then turned and left without looking back, his figure quickly merged into the dark night.

Nie Feng lowered his head, looked at the small statue carefully, and then covered his mouth in surprise: "...it's Master!"

The bright moon was bright, and the tulle blown up by the wind through the window sill hit the statue. In the moonlight, a man with a sword was carved lifelike.

The corners of his mouth involuntarily curved into a soft arc, Nie Feng thought, in fact, under Senior Brother Yun's cold exterior, there is a soft heart.
