Chapter 397 Zhang Molan was fooled
"Quan Xing? I haven't heard of it. Please elaborate."
Zhang Molan became slightly interested when he heard this term which seemed somewhat familiar.
"To be honest, Quanxing is a sect with a long history. It emphasizes the preservation of the whole nature and not burdening the body with material things."
Zhang Zhiwei had just finished his opening sentence when Zhang Molan, as if remembering something, interrupted and asked:
"The origin you mentioned is very old, is it from Yang Zhu, one of the many schools of thought in the Warring States Period?
I remember that one of the concepts he advocated was full fidelity:
The so-called whole nature means to conform to the nature of nature.
Since life is present, we should live it to its fullest; since things nourish us, we should enjoy them. However, we should not go against fate and envy longevity, or accumulate things and burden our bodies. We should not be greedy and should not harm our lives for external things.
The so-called authenticity preservation is to maintain the authenticity given by nature.
Indulge yourself for a while, but don't lose the joy of the past; act according to your heart, but don't go against what nature likes; indulge your heart and don't go against what all things like; don't be proud of temporary praise or criticism, and don't seek glory after death.
Do not envy longevity, fame, position, or wealth; you will not fear ghosts, people, power, or profit. You will maintain and follow the will of nature and control your own destiny."
Zhang Molan put one hand on his chin and lost himself in distant memories.
When he left the Zhang family and was released into the wild, the scholar named Yang Zhu had already passed away for many years, but his teachings were popular for a while at that time.
Speaking of which, the Zhang family quite admires the ideas advocated by Yang Zhu. Apart from anything else, almost everyone in the Zhang family, except for a few exceptions, can do this, namely, not burdening themselves with material things.
Their main point is that living is enough, and money and pleasure are all external things. Regardless of their external personality and daily performance, they are very indifferent to the essence of the world.
Zhang Zhiwei was a little surprised that he actually knew Yang Zhu's theory. After all, seeing this man's rude behavior before, he thought he was an uneducated and unskillful man. He didn't expect that he knew so much.
"Indeed, I didn't expect that you, Senior, also studied Yang Zhu's philosophy. You are truly knowledgeable."
Zhang Zhiwei complimented him with a smile, and Zhang Molan nodded calmly, showing nothing on his face, but feeling a little embarrassed in his heart.
In his family school, he took first place in both literature and martial arts, the only difference was that one was last and the other was first.
How could he be said to be knowledgeable? Although he was not born in the Warring States Period, he was at least active abroad during the Qin Dynasty.
Even though the Qin State suppressed the Hundred Schools of Thought at that time, those theories still spread in society. Anyone who lived at that time and had some status knew about the Hundred Schools of Thought.
"It's hard to say what Quanxin was like before, but now it's an extremely special and notorious sect."
Zhang Zhiwei sighed and didn't know what to say to Quan Xing.
Everyone in the alien world knows that Quan Xing is not a good person, but if Quan Xing is gone from the alien world, it will probably be even more chaotic than it is now.
“It has no so-called ‘rules’ to constrain its disciples. If you want to join Quanxing, you only need to declare yourself to be a Quanxing person.
Most of those who join Quanxing act in a free-spirited manner and are regarded as heretics by other martial arts sects. They are hated by everyone in the world of extraordinary people.
Quanxing followers act regardless of good or evil, based solely on personal preference, and most will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals."
"All of them are villains? That sounds like a good target to establish authority, but why does this sect sound so lame? They can't all be troublemakers and rats in the gutter, right?"
Zhang Molan frowned as he listened, because he didn't have a good impression of Quan Xing. He spoke in a very aggressive tone, not giving Quan Xing's people any face at all.
“Although Quan Xing seems to be a loose organization, it does have its own leadership. Each of them is a master with unique abilities and distinctive styles of doing things. The most famous among them are the four arrogant people surnamed Quan.
They correspond to wine, sex, money, and anger, Dou Mei, the poisonous intestinal piercing, Xia He, the bone scraping knife, Huo Genmiao, Chen Chong, and Gao Ning, the thunder and smoke cannon. Each of these four is difficult to deal with..."
An old Taoist priest had a serious look on his face, and then described the abilities of those four people in a slightly exaggerated manner, as if these four people were powerful enemies that should not be underestimated, and successfully frightened Zhang Molan.
After all, what Zhang Molan is best at is breaking all methods with one force. What he pursues is the martial arts in the world that are only fast and indestructible.
Also because he simply pursues the ultimate power, he always suffers some losses when facing mental attacks.
What he hated most was facing people who used mental attacks, and among the four madmen, two were related to mental attacks.
It is said that Xia He can control lust. Although he is confident in his perseverance and character, whether he can kill the enemy while being in a negative state depends on the opponent's level of cultivation.
After all, charm is divided into several levels. Even an emperor with the protection of national destiny can fall into charm.
If Xia He was a descendant of the Su family with Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline, and his bloodline concentration was purer, it would be impossible for him to have his soul seduced away given his perseverance. However, it is very likely that he would be affected and become soft-hearted, unable to bring himself to hurt the other person.
Gao Ning's Twelve Labor Emotion Formation was not easy to use as soon as he heard about it. In Zhang Molan's opinion, no one who knew how to use the formation was weak, and those who could quickly incorporate the formation into the battle were masters among masters.
In the Zhang family, there are less than five people who can set up formations. Not to mention mastering them, they are only at the stage of knowing how to use them.
When facing an opponent with weak mental attacks, he can still rely on his strong will and subconsciousness to kill with a lot of negative buffs.
But if you face someone like Zhang Moyu, who can make great use of mental attacks, you will be fooled around.
Zhang Molan, who was fooled by Zhang Zhiwei's few words, is now thinking about whether to call Zhang Moyu over to join him in a double kill.
He always felt a little unsafe going alone.
"Are you sure they will come to your Luotian Grand Ceremony?"
Zhang Molan is not really stupid. Since Zhang Zhiwei asked him whether he was interested in Quanxing at this time, it means that he has obtained information in advance. When the Luotian Grand Ceremony is held, someone from Quanxing must have sneaked in to cause trouble.
I just don't know how many people there will be by then, and whether it will be enough for them to make an example of someone.
"The company has spies there. It's very likely that Quan Xing will attack the mountain at that time. Senior, guess how many people they will bring."
Zhang Zhiwei smiled without saying anything, but his heart was full of emotion.
Quan Xing came at a very good time this time. Although he didn't know what they were planning to do by attacking Longhu Mountain, their sudden appearance to cause trouble brought disaster to Longhu Mountain.
If it weren't for them, Longhu Mountain would have been destroyed again this time.
