Chapter 46

【Consuming 1 Yin De, deduced three methods, each with pros and cons.】

【First, of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing is the best policy; this shop has a back door, leaving through the back door can avoid the other party's harassment.】

【This method can preserve oneself alone, but it will embolden the other party's arrogance, and through the other party's video, solidify the perception of viewers and passersby that Eastern people are weak.】

【After calculation, if you flee in a sorry state, this video will go viral.】

【And, the other party will escalate in their next action, harming six or more Eastern tourists: four women, one child, one man.】

【Therefore this is the inferior strategy.】

【Second, you do not show your face in the shop; taking advantage that the other party currently has some distance from this place, you can let the Brazilian female ghost go over and toy with her, even let her suffer a big loss.】

【Although this method can let you vent your anger, it will also expose two problems.】

【One, since the other party inexplicably suffers a loss, if they do not associate this loss with you, even if they suffer a loss, they will only think their luck is bad, terrible.】

【If it is like this, it also cannot change things. The other party wants to continue down this track of humiliating Eastern people.】

【Given the other party has a considerable number of active fans, more and more people will walk this track.】

【There will still be more and more Eastern people or Eastern tourists suffering losses; with more people on this track, it may even affect the impression of Eastern people among fans on YouTube, all seen as weak and bullyable.】

【Change another angle.】

【If the other party, because of inexplicably suffering a loss, thereby detects something amiss, plus the surrounding surveillance, and they are currently filming a video, evidence will also be left behind.】

【It will relate to your foundation of existence.】

【So although this method is feasible, it is not considered superior.】

【Third, take the path of Eastern martial arts.】

【Use a little Yin De to exchange for the epiphany heart of martial arts temporarily stored in the talisman, catalyze it with Yin De, integrate into instinct faster.】

【If there is gain, it can let you possess a method of not moving a hand, not leaving a handle, yet still letting the other party suffer a loss, and moreover suffer it clearly and openly, yet be unable to do anything.】

【This method is the optimal choice, and can also bring certain advantages in your upcoming teaching at Portwater High School.】

【The drawback lies in uncertain Yin De consumption, depending on your personal comprehension ability, but it will not be too much.】

【Whether to exchange?】

In the shop, the sound of the carving knife scraping over jade was very sonorous and forceful; that young carving master's hand was very steady, clearly without any tool assistance, one stroke down, horizontally level and vertically straight.

The main point is just one word: steady!

Chen Yaozu also felt that he now also needed to main the word steady; the first and second methods were still somewhat unsteady.

The third method requires consuming Yin De! Actually, if it were another person, they wouldn't need to consider that much; in a moment they'd get the seal and just leave directly.

But, Chen Yaozu can't.

Actually, in the last phone call, that Ms. Yuan vaguely informed him that that San Shu took the blame for him; he himself, including Ms. Yuan, actually felt quite bad about it, but for the sake of this cheap nephew, they still did something against their hearts.

Using his decades of merit, exchanged for his own safety.

During this time, the original body's months of memory that Chen Yaozu received in this world were also gradually withdrawing their influence on his personality; his own personality was slowly recovering its original shape.

Twelve years as a firefighter shaping his personality, shed the original body's radicalism; he is just a middle-aged Han man with relatively heavy national sentiment.

So if there is a choice, he would not choose the first two options.

Still choose the third!

After all, it can assist his future teaching.

Eastern martial arts, don't know what difference it has with his current so-called Guiding Technique? Moreover, he was previously worried about what to teach in class; he couldn't possibly teach his foundation skill, the Five Animals Frolics Guiding Technique, right! Now since this deduction result was obtained, then follow this deduction! Thus, he chose the third method, looked at that young master focused on carving, he didn't go disturb him, but quietly sat to the side, silently chanting "exchange" in his heart.

…

A large camp.

In the tent, one person sat high on the commander's seat. "Dusi!"

A subordinate officer came to report: "Dusi, the Registrar and clerks in the army are vacant; all those who know characters are gone!

Even the people sent to procure supplies were killed, and the money and grain were also robbed.

If this continues, there won't be a single person in the army who knows characters and can handle affairs; what then shall we do!"

"Arrange elite soldiers from the army to protect them!"

The general on the commander's seat spoke.

Jiajing Era.

Coastal troubles severe, Wokou chaos severe; coastal frontier towns suppressing bandits ineffective, suppressing Wokou ineffective.

Dusi Qi led troops to pacify the Wokou, yet repeatedly suffered setbacks.

Literate people in the army, those who could go handle affairs, were all assassinated; wanting to recruit more, people are panic-stricken, and those willing to come are not many.

Actually General Qi knows, he has moved the food bowl of many coastal powerful clans; in the Wokou chaos, true Wokou are extremely few, most are done by people dispatched by these coastal wealthy merchants.

Him pacifying the Wokou chaos is cutting off people's financial path.

Such targeting is also normal.

Sending people to protect, too many people is troublesome; can't have these clerks, Registrars, and those managing money and grain, every time they go out to handle a matter, need a hundred people escorting them front and back! Originally the Great Ming emphasizes civil over military, is wary of military men; doing so makes them even more disliked, even more able to be impeached in court.

However, Dusi Qi sought help from Wudang; Wudang Songxi School then had a Daoist descend the mountain to assist him; in the army, pick clever people who know characters, pick clever literate people to practice martial arts.

And Chen Yaozu is one of those scholars.

And the current perspective is how an ordinary scholar transforms from a martial arts novice into a master.

The Daoist's method, first is preventing sneak attacks; he used army experts pretending to be assassins, from simple to complex sneak attacks, letting the scholar martial artists slowly adapt to this kind of sneak attack, and be able to dodge at the first moment.

This is feeling and footwork.

After learning to detect sneak attacks and dodge sneak attacks, the Daoist then had people teach these scholars how to counterattack, how to kill with one strike.

After these scholars, in the army experts' sneak attacks, learned how to counterattack, how to kill with one strike with effect, then teach these people, under the premise of guaranteeing their own survival, to leave the assassins alive.

Among them, many martial arts were researched based on these scholars' not-so-strong bodies, emphasizing overcoming the strong with the weak, using four ounces to deflect a thousand catties.

This is the throwing technique.

Throwing techniques serve as the foundation; they can be used to oppose the strong even when one's martial skill is not yet consummate, using the Land as assistance, enabling the weak to overcome the strong, the small to overcome the large.

Once throwing techniques are mastered, one may learn fist and foot arts to strike long and hit far; a stretch of the hand or lift of the foot can shatter another's joints, ruthless in the extreme.

Most importantly, fist and foot arts can transform into weapon combat and battle formation methods.

But when without weapons, one mostly relies on throwing techniques as the mainstay.

Cultivated to the utmost, throwing a man is like a sheep's horns hanging — no trace can be found.

There is also the Wudang Tuna Fa; practiced long it strengthens Qi and lightens the body, extending life and prolonging years.

This martial art was originally meant to be recorded in the Jixiao Xinshu, but was later deleted, regarded as the supreme self-defense martial art for scholars in the Junzhong.

And then twenty-odd years.

Frustrated at court, the general died in melancholy; he burned incense and worshipped at the Muzhong.

……

"Mister Chen, the Seal Authority is ready!"

A voice, waking Chen Yaozu from a dream.
