In Zhao
State, not everyone accepted the theories of Lin Jiang in the Wuyuan. Some people scoffed at them, while others regarded them as the truth, so a circle was formed.
Lin Jiang promoted many theories, including Confucianism, Legalism, and Taoism. In fact, he himself was not very proficient in them. Although he was once a liberal arts student, he was not specialized in these.
So Lin Jiang just started it, and the rest supported them to improve themselves, which caused a wave of thoughts in the Wuyuan.
This kind of thought is very dangerous for the vested interests. The aristocracy of Zhao State has realized it and even found Zhao Zhi, wanting Zhao Zhi to expel Lin Jiang.
But Zhao Zhi did not agree. He told the nobles directly that he was no match for Lin Jiang at all. If they had the ability, let them do it themselves.
Among all the disciples, Mo Zhai was the most deeply influenced. Other disciples could only see Lin Jiang once every three to five days, but Mo Zhai saw him every day. Under the influence of what he saw and heard, Mo Zhai's thoughts were completely influenced, and his three views were reshaped by Lin Jiang.
After Lin Jiang had been teaching for more than a year, his thoughts began to become extreme. Zhao Zhi could not stand the pressure and found Lin Jiang again.
"Sir,"
Zhao Zhi came, Lin Jiang was watching Mo Zhai's martial arts performance. Lin Jiang waved to him and asked Zhao Zhi to sit down.
"How is it? I teach better than you,"
Lin Jiang pointed at Mo Zhai and said. Mo Zhai had only practiced martial arts for more than three years. From a person who could not even punch and kick, he had just broken through the innate. This speed broke the record of Zhao State Martial Arts Academy.
"Sir, if you don't let Mo Zhai learn other things, he will grow faster." "If
you can master one method, you can master all methods. I would rather call him a martial arts madman. I like Mo Zhai like this,"
Lin Jiang said bluntly. In this year or so, Mo Zhai didn't spend much time practicing martial arts. He spent about half of the day practicing martial arts, and the rest of the time was spent learning other things, including carpentry skills.
Lin Jiang specially asked people to find some skilled old carpenters to teach Mo Zhai. It only took Mo Zhai a few months to completely surpass those carpenters. Except for the difference in experience, he was a complete winner in all other aspects.
"But not everyone is Mo Zhai, and not everyone is me, sir."
"So you are here to call me to task today."
"Zhao Zhi dare not,"
Zhao Zhi said. The longer he spent with Lin Jiang, the more he felt the horror of Lin Jiang, not only in martial arts, but also in the things that Lin Jiang occasionally revealed. Zhao Zhi would never believe that Lin Jiang was really an old man in the mountains.
"We have known each other for quite a while, you should know that I am easy to talk to."
"Then Zhao Zhi will speak frankly, sir, you have been talking about human nature recently, intending to popularize martial arts and knowledge. The nobles of Zhao State have already known this, and they are very opposed to it,"
Zhao Zhi said. Martial arts and knowledge are monopolized by the aristocracy, just like names in the past. Now many people in various feudal states have names, because there are many ruined nobles, and the nobles now cannot stop it, but martial arts and knowledge are their bottom line.
"Then what? Expel me or kill me?"
"I know your strength, and I have stopped them from doing stupid things, but I can't stand it anymore, sir."
"I know. Actually, I am tired of staying in Zhao State Martial Arts Academy. I will leave in two months at most."
"Sir, I don't mean to drive you away. I just want you not to say those extreme things. Zhao State will still treat you as a guest of honor."
Zhao Zhi said hurriedly. If Lin Jiang discarded those extreme thoughts in the past year or so, it would actually be very beneficial to them, especially Lin Jiang's knowledge in martial arts, even Zhao Zhi himself benefited a lot.
"No, I won't stay in a certain place. I want to travel and study."
"Travel and study"
"Well, there are so many people in the world, so many geniuses, and knowledge is endless. I have to appreciate the talents of the world."
Lin Jiang said. He also met many interesting people in Zhao State Martial Arts Academy. This is just Zhao State. He has to go to other vassal states to take a look.
"Sir..."
"No need to say more, let's do it this way."
"Hey, sir, when are you leaving? I'll see you off."
Zhao Zhi sighed. He had no way to deal with Lin Jiang. Lin Jiang had been in the martial arts academy for more than a year. He lived in seclusion and rarely went out. He didn't like delicious food, fine wine, or beautiful women. He was gentle and had no airs. It was unknown whether Lin Jiang had any family members or relatives. He was simply impeccable.

"Sir, let's separate now."
Two months later, Lin Jiang and Mo Zhai left the martial arts academy under the farewell of the people of Zhao State Martial Arts Academy. The two walked together for several days. At an intersection, Mo Zhai said to Lin Jiang.
"Will you not travel with me?"
"No, the master's realm is much higher than mine. Following the master would be a burden to the master. I want to find my own way."
"It seems that this year has not been in vain to teach you."
"The master's kindness, Mo Zhai will never forget."
"Okay, I have some things here, some excellent swords and weapons, some martial arts secrets, and some money. You can take them."
"Sir, I..."
"Don't refuse. Money is external to me. It may be of some use to you. In addition, remember, if you encounter danger outside, come to the master. If you can't beat him, it's not shameful. If you die, everything is over."
Lin Jiang stuffed the map into Mo Zhai's hand. It was useless for Lin Jiang to keep those things. It would be better to give them to Mo Zhai. He might leave a strong mark in the history of Xia State.
Mo Zhai accepted it, then bowed solemnly to Lin Jiang, and then turned and left.
When Lin Jiang saw Mo Zhai leave, he sold his carriage, carried a bag and left, took off his mask, and disappeared without a trace.
Zhao State was in the north of Yunshan Mountain, including the former Hezhou territory, while Qin State was in the west of Xia State, which was the former Five Elements Sect territory, including some territories that were wild in the Xiuxian era.
This world is very big. In the Xiuxian era, the human race failed to occupy the whole world, and they didn't know how big the world was. Now in the martial arts era, they still don't know. Anyway, they have been expanding, and the scenery is all primitive forests. There are even primitive tribes in many places. It will not stop until it can't expand due to various reasons such as productivity.
Lin Jiang went to Qin State this time. Lin Jiang has different feelings for Qin State. After all, in his cultural influence, Qin State is the first unified country. He hopes that the Qin State in this world will also have this kind of courage and ability.
A month later, Lin Jiang entered the territory of Qin State. He didn't wear a mask, and no one knew Lin Jiang's identity, so naturally he didn't alarm anyone.
"Brother, brother."
That evening, Lin Jiang met a farmer carrying a hoe on a mountain road and approached him to talk.
"Sir, what's the matter?"
"Brother, I am a traveler on the road, where can I rest here?"
"Sir, there is a village market fifty miles ahead. If you don't mind, you can go to my house."
"Thank you very much, brother."
Lin Jiang hurriedly bowed. He didn't use Qinggong all the way. He was just on the road normally. He was also investigating the social environment of Qin State and stayed overnight many times along the way.
This is also because Lin Jiang is skilled and bold. During the process of staying overnight, he met many kind-hearted people and many black-hearted people. Of course, when he met black-hearted people, Lin Jiang would open his heart to them and return them after confirming that their hearts were black.
Lin Jiang chatted with farmers all the way, talking about crops and farming time. The more he talked, the more speculative he became.
"Sir, you are also a scholar, right?"
"Yes, I studied for a few years when I was young ."
Lin Jiang nodded. He now has a beard and looks to be in his twenties or thirties. Otherwise, your face is too young and it is difficult to handle many things. Others will think that you are not good at talking and not reliable.
"Sir, you don't look like you have studied for a few years."
"Travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books. It is better to go out than to study hard at home."
"Well said, this is a wise saying."
"Brother, you look like a scholar too?"
"Sir, I did study for a few years, but it's a pity that studying is useless. I can't be an official. It's better to go home and farm."
"Studying is to understand reason, not to become an official."
Lin Jiang said. His words were actually a little out of touch. We are all ordinary people. Being an official is for material enjoyment. It is the pursuit of most people. Understanding reason is a bit high.
As they talked, the two came to a small mountain village. The farmer introduced Lin Jiang to his family. The farmer had a happy family. His parents were still alive, his wife was virtuous, and his children were filial. From the perspective of the house, it was much better than that of ordinary people.
The farmer warmly entertained Lin Jiang. The two started chatting at the table and continued after dinner. The chat lasted until the middle of the night. The farmer's family urged them several times before they dispersed and went to bed.
The next day, the farmer's family strongly invited Lin Jiang to stay. Lin Jiang could not resist their enthusiasm and had to comply.
