Unity of Knowledge and Action

Chapter 177: Unity of Knowledge and Action

Qin Mu was shocked and walked into the courtyard, saying, "Isn't it that the Imperial Master came here just to tell interesting stories? Ling'er, serve the tea."

Hu Ling'er hurriedly said, "Sir, we don't have tea at home, you don't drink tea."

Qin Mu laughed and said, "Buy a few ounces of tea and keep them there. Since there is no tea, then just look for a seat."

"There are only a few broken stools in Shiziju, where can we sit?" the little fox complained.

Qin Mu was a little embarrassed.

Imperial Master Yankang waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need to bother. I will stand here and talk to the leader for a few words before leaving."

Qin Mu's gaze fell on his face. This Yankang State Master, who was known as the number one man under the gods and was feared by the whole world, could not be described as handsome, but could only be considered ordinary. However, there was an indescribable charm in his face, the kind that became more pleasing to the eye the more one looked at it.

His eyes are the most dazzling part of his body. They are full of wisdom and seem to have a little bit of spiritual light. They can take in everything in the world and make the most wise judgment.

Qin Mu had a favorable impression of the Imperial Master Yankang, and his heart was full of respect for this pioneer and game changer.

The fact that Yankang State is what it is today is due to the contribution of Yankang Imperial Master more than that of the emperor.

He presided over the political reform, reformed the military and political affairs, broke down the prejudices between the three major schools, established primary schools, universities and imperial colleges, and set up the scholar system. This Yankang Imperial Master made this era exceptionally exciting.

But despite his admiration, Qin Mu also had some complaints about this Imperial Master Yankang.

Master Yankang was not only a genius, but also ruthless.

Although he retreated when he knew it was difficult to conquer Daxu, it does not necessarily mean that there will not be a next time.

He attacked and annexed various countries. In order to eliminate dissidents, he pretended to be seriously injured and lured those sects that had already surrendered to rebellion, causing great suffering to the people.

This is not a perfect person.

Qin Mu could never figure out what the man in front of him was pursuing. He had a broad mind and clearly wanted to embrace the world, but he wanted to exterminate other countries, capture Daxu, and allow Yankang Kingdom to have more territory.

He clearly had no desire for power, but he was still willing to stir up bloodshed in order to eliminate dissidents.

In Qin Mu's opinion, Master Yankang seemed like a contradiction. It was hard to guess what his real thoughts were.

Imperial Master Yankang was also looking at him. After a moment, he said in a gentle voice, "The Holy Leader of the Tiansheng Sect is younger than I expected. I was also surprised when I heard that the Holy Leader would be a doctor of the Imperial Academy. You don't seem to feel strange to see me?"

Qin Mu said: "Tiansheng Sect has no discrimination in its teachings, and there are all kinds of forces in the sect, so it is natural that the National Master can plant a few people in the high-level positions of Tiansheng Sect. I am not surprised that the National Master found out my identity so quickly."

Imperial Master Yankang nodded and said, "The Holy Master of the Tiansheng Sect should have this kind of wisdom. But why are you not at all panicked when you see me? Aren't you afraid that I am here to kill you?"

"If the Imperial Master wants to kill me, it's useless for me to panic."

Qin Mu said: "If you don't kill me, Tiansheng Sect won't rebel. If you kill me, Tiansheng Sect will definitely rebel. My life is not as valuable as Tiansheng Sect, the national teacher won't kill me. So I don't need to panic."

Imperial Master Yankang smiled and said, "Don't be so sure. It's good to be wise, but if you are too self-righteous, you may guess wrong. However, you really touched my heart just now. You said that the Tiansheng Sect will not rebel. Can you tell me the reason?"

Qin Mu said: "We share the same philosophy, so there is no need to rebel."

Yankang Imperial Master said, "I heard that the first thing you did after becoming the leader was to establish the 361st hall and build a school?"

Qin Mu nodded: "I am following the example of the national teacher and reforming the Tiansheng Sect."

"The Tiansheng Sect is originally a country in the name of a sect. If you follow my example and reform the Tiansheng Sect, won't it become a country within the country of Yankang?"

Imperial Master Yankang said: "If it is a peaceful time, you will not rebel, but if the world is in chaos, why don't you take advantage of the opportunity to rise up and occupy the orthodoxy?"

"The reason why our Tiansheng Sect did not rebel during this turmoil is not because we do not want to occupy the orthodox position, but because the current Yankang State is a large-scale Tiansheng Sect."

Qin Mu laughed and said, "Why should we rebel against ourselves?"

"Then when will you rebel?" National Master Yankang asked with interest.

Qin Mu said solemnly: "When the national teacher betrays the ideals of Tiansheng Sect and no longer practices the way of the saints, and Yankang State is no longer Tiansheng Sect, our Tiansheng Sect will definitely rebel."

Imperial Master Yankang glanced at him and praised him, "You are so brave."

Qin Mu said: "It's not that I'm brave, but I have to tell the truth, because if I tell a lie, I can't hide it from the national teacher."

Imperial Master Yankang walked slowly to the well in the courtyard and said calmly, "You are from Daxu and have no foundation in the Tiansheng Sect. I originally wanted to control you and let you gain a firm foothold in the Tiansheng Sect with my power. Now I don't have this idea anymore."

Qin Mu walked to his side, only to hear National Master Yan Kang continue: "People like you are very dangerous. People with ideals are often very dangerous, very troublesome, and difficult to convince. And convincing a person is the most difficult thing, it is better to kill him. Convincing a sect is even more difficult, it is better to destroy the sect. Whether it is the Taoist sect or the Great Leiyin Temple, they all have their own ideals and are difficult to convince. The same is true for the Tiansheng Sect."

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Fortunately, the philosophy of the Tiansheng Sect does not conflict with that of the Yankang Kingdom."

Qin Mu asked curiously, "The Imperial Master will not touch the Tiansheng Sect for the time being, so what about the Taoist Sect and the Great Leiyin Temple?"

"That depends on what they do."

Master Yankang said seriously: "Let's see if they can achieve unity of knowledge and action. If they can implement their ideas and achieve unity of knowledge and action, I will do everything in my power and means to get rid of them. If they can't do it, it won't be difficult for them to survive."

Qin Mu's heart was slightly shaken, and he asked, "What is the philosophy of the national teacher?"

Imperial Master Yankang shook his head and said, "I don't need to tell you. Don't look at what I say, look at what I do. My philosophy will be reflected in what I do. This is the unity of knowledge and action. Young Saint Master, you still have a long way to go."

Qin Mu still couldn't see through this person.

At present, he is not able to have an ideological debate with someone of the level of National Master Yankang. National Master Yankang's vision is too high, his knowledge is too broad, his scheming is too deep, and his understanding of Taoism and magical powers has reached an awe-inspiring level. He has not reached this level.

He couldn't figure out Master Yankang's thoughts, nor did he know whether he would be an enemy or a friend in the future.

However, for the moment, as the Holy Leader, Qin Mu must make plans for the future of the Demonic Sect.

"This time, the sects in Yankang State rebelled. Our Tiansheng Church fully supports the Imperial Master."

Qin Mu thought carefully about the wording and said, "But I also need a promise from the Imperial Master. That is, after quelling this rebellion, will the Imperial Master purge our sect and destroy the bridge after crossing the river?"

Imperial Master Yankang turned to look at him and said, "No."

Qin Mu looked inquiring.

Imperial Master Yankang said leisurely, "I need encouragement. Leaving the Heavenly Demon Sect behind is like leaving a sword hanging over my head, to spur me on, to warn me, and to prevent me from making mistakes."

He smiled slightly: "I am too powerful. If I make a mistake, who can do anything to me? I need a force that can kill me when I lose my mind. Tiansheng Sect is good. If I go against your ideals, I will wait for you to kill me."

Qin Mu was a little horrified.

Imperial Master Yankang walked away.

Qin Mu exhaled a breath of foul air and felt that his hair was about to explode.

He had only one thought in his mind: "Master Yankang is not a human being!"

Non-human.

As long as one is a human being, he will have seven emotions and six desires, and he will have selfish thoughts. However, Master Yankang has no seven emotions and six desires, and no selfish thoughts. Without these things, he is no longer a human being.

Or you can call him a saint.

Could Imperial Master Yankang be a saint?

He calmed his mind and dispelled the chaotic thoughts in his heart. At this time, Long Qilin in the yard said in a muffled voice: "This person is very scary. He is standing here. I can see him, but I can't feel him."

Qin Mu was slightly startled. He did not use the Qingxiao Sky Eye to look at Master Yankang just now, and lost an opportunity.

He once used his divine eyes to look at the village chief and saw a god with an intact body, glorious and majestic. If he went to see Master Yankang, what would he see?

The scholars were outside, Qin Feiyue was waiting with bowed head, Yankang Imperial Master came over and said, "Go back."

Qin Feiyue didn't dare to say much. As they walked, Imperial Master Yankang suddenly said, "The High Priest has a good eye."

Qin Feiyue smiled and said, "Although Gu Li Nuan is not bad, she has been frozen for two hundred years and has not made any progress. I am afraid she has fallen behind the times."

"I'm talking about the other high priest."

Imperial Master Yankang looked back at the Imperial Academy and said, "The successor he chose is very good, a good candidate, but he looks a lot like me. Seeing this person always makes me feel uncomfortable, and I always want to kill him."

Qin Feiyue didn't understand what he meant.

Imperial Master Yankang walked away, muttering, "I hate looking in the mirror. The person in the mirror is never as perfect as the person in my mind."

With the scholar in the middle, Qin Mu could finally feel at ease. His great unified technique was not yet perfect. He still needed to calm down and comprehend it carefully, trying to make it perfect.

Master Yankang had a great impact on him. A person who strives for his ideals always has some fascinating charm.

As for what Master Yankang said, leaving behind the Heavenly Demon Sect is like leaving behind a sword hanging over one's head. It is very difficult to achieve this. Even if the power of the entire Heavenly Demon Sect is integrated, this step cannot be achieved.

"The Imperial Master is so ambitious, we must fulfill his wish."

Qin Mu activated his martial arts and walked slowly in the yard, carefully experiencing the unified martial arts he had created on the basis of the Tyrant Body Three Dan Gong, and then summarizing and organizing it. From time to time, he took out the Dayu Tianmo Sutra to comprehend it.

After a long time, Qin Mu exhaled a breath of foul air, and suddenly increased his speed, running wildly all over the mountains and fields, activating the unified martial arts he had comprehended, and his figure flashed past the mountains and behind the Tai Academy like a flash of light.
