Chapter 84: Teaching You How to Rebel Hand-in-Hand

Chen Yucheng's expression was reminiscent, and his voice was ethereal, "The Heavenly King was a natural talent. Back then, relying on a remnant copy of the 'Taiping Essential Arts' he accidentally obtained, he completed and wrote this 'Taiping Record of World Governance'."

"This book is divided into two volumes, upper and lower."

"The upper volume discusses the strategy of governing the country, and the lower volume discusses the essentials of cultivation."

"It not only contains the breathing techniques you want, but also a discussion on Dan Jin, which is above Hua Jin."

"It's just a pity that the Heavenly King failed in his breakthrough, which led to him going into demonic obsession, and his temperament changed drastically."

"I have also pondered it for decades, but in the end, I failed to take the final step."

Speaking of this, he paused and looked at Yin Qi, his eyes becoming deep, and said, "Yin Qi, you are the person with the most outstanding martial arts talent I have ever seen. Perhaps the path of Dan Jin can only be pioneered by you."

"If I can see a higher realm of martial arts in my lifetime, I can consider it a regret fulfilled."

Yin Qi's eyes were bright.

This was actually written by the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan!

Regardless of character, in terms of ability alone, a failed scholar was able to lead a group of peasant insurgents to almost sweep across China and eventually rule half of the country with the Manchu Qing for more than a decade.

This could definitely be called a generation of heroes, and his personal talent naturally didn't need to be mentioned.

As for the "Taiping Essential Arts," this book was even more famous.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao obtained this secret manual, which sparked the magnificent Yellow Turban Rebellion and almost buried the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Even so, it sounded the death knell for the Eastern Han.

He naturally coveted the cultivation methods inside, but he was also vigilant in his heart.

This Chen Yucheng was a veteran general of a hundred battles, not a pure martial artist. Therefore, in terms of importance, martial arts achievements definitely could not compare to the great cause in his heart.

So he was skeptical about the other party saying he hoped to see him pioneer Dan Jin and fulfill his regret.

Either the other party thought he didn't have the ability to kill him now, so he buried a mine for him, letting him follow in Hong Xiuquan's footsteps;

Or Chen Yucheng's intention was not in the wine, but wanted him to see the content of the upper volume.

Zhang Jiao obtained the "Taiping Essential Arts," so he rebelled.

Hong Xiuquan obtained the remnant copy of the "Taiping Essential Arts," so he also rebelled.

Therefore, if someone said this "Taiping Record of World Governance" was not evil, Yin Qi would not believe it.

No matter what the situation was, Chen Yucheng's intentions were evil.

The old man was very bad.

As for saying Chen Yucheng cherished talent and was acting on emotion, if he said that, I fear no one would believe it, because the other party was a veteran general of a hundred battles, someone who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and had long since lost personal feelings.

Although Chen Yucheng's intentions were sinister, Yin Qi accepted this sugar-coated bullet happily, because he was already engaged in the great cause of rebellion, and even if the breakthrough failed, he could just return to the Fengshen world.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi showed an excited expression and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Chen, I will definitely not let you down."

Chen Yucheng nodded slightly and said, "I shouldn't stay here long, so I'll be going first. I hope that in the future, we will have a chance to meet again. Farewell."

As he spoke, he turned and left.

From an angle Yin Qi couldn't see, a cold, sinister look flashed in his eyes.

…………

The Yin Mansion.

Study.

Yin Qi sat at the desk, flipping through the "Taiping Record of World Governance."

This "Taiping Record of World Governance" was not thin, with more than two hundred pages, more than half of which were about the strategy of governing the country, and it was systematic, from the vision of nation-building to the theoretical foundation of rebellion, and how to organize the masses, etc.

It could be said that this was a complete guide to rebellion.

Perhaps it could be called "Teaching You How to Rebel Hand-in-Hand."

As long as it was someone with a little ambition, I fear they would all have the idea of whether they should try it.

Are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born of a specific lineage?

The whole text had no bewitching words, but every word was bewitching people's hearts.

After reading the first part, Yin Qi gained a lot.

Perhaps he had a good grasp of the big picture, but there were many mistakes and loopholes in the details.

This was his first time rebelling, so there were definitely shortcomings.

With this book, he could make up for them.

Yin Qi continued to flip to the back, which was the cultivation part of the lower volume.

Not only were there cultivation methods, but also matching martial arts, including fists, palms, blades, swords, and spears. Even the breathing techniques Yin Qi had been thinking about were included, five of them, all of which were the top-level breathing techniques of the current world.

Yin Qi flipped through it slowly, memorizing all the content.

Afterward, he burned the book.

Keeping this thing was a disaster; he would never leave such a low-level flaw.

Sitting at the desk, Yin Qi's eyes were deep, and the discussion about Dan Jin in the book appeared in his mind.

According to the discussion in the book, Dan Jin required the essence, Qi, and spirit to be complete, using the spirit to control the blood and Qi of the whole body, and finally converging in the dantian to form a blood pill. This was actually deduced by referring to the Taoist inner alchemy technique.

Swallowing a golden pill into the belly, my life is decided by me, not by heaven!

Here, the most important thing was the "training" of the spirit, making it strong enough to control the blood and Qi of the whole body.

There were many methods of refining the spirit above, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt it was somewhat unreliable. Yin Qi highly suspected that Hong Xiuquan had trained himself into a fool, which was why his temperament changed drastically in the later period.

For people in this world, methods of refining the spirit were hard to find, and they could only grope and train blindly.

But Yin Qi didn't have such concerns, because the Heaven Realm of the Fengshen world also involved refining the spirit. Whether it was the "Human Emperor Scripture" or the "True Martial Divine Art," there were many methods of refining the spirit.

Thinking of this, the corners of Yin Qi's mouth curled up slightly.

For him, Dan Jin was already something in his pocket.

………

Time passed leisurely, and in the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.

On September 21, 1898, Empress Dowager Cixi and others launched the Wuxu Coup. The Guangxu Emperor was imprisoned, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao fled, and Tan Sitong and others were arrested and thrown into prison.

This reform, which lasted 103 days, eventually ended in failure.

When this news spread, the whole country was in an uproar.

Stimulated by the *Min Pao*, the domestic newspaper industry in this space-time was extremely developed, with seven or eight hundred types of newspapers large and small across the country.

Ordinary newspapers were fine, just reporting truthfully, not daring to comment excessively.

But the newspapers in the various concessions were not polite. They scolded the imperial court and Cixi as an old witch in the newspapers, calling the failure of the Wuxu Reform the severing of China's path to reform and strengthening.

Because of the development of the newspaper industry, the number of people with progressive ideas across the country surged.

They originally had a passion for serving the country and pinned their hopes on this reform to allow China to embark on a path of prosperity and strength. As a result, the coup by Empress Dowager Cixi and others was like a loud slap in the face that woke up many people.

The Manchu Qing was already rotten and beyond saving!

*Min Pao* Newspaper Office.

Conference room.

Regarding the failure of the Wuxu Reform, Lu Xun, Tao Chengzhang, and Qiu Jin had complicated feelings.

Although they had a strong anti-Qing consciousness, if the imperial court could really succeed in the reform and lead China to prosperity, they would persuade Yin Qi to disband the Revival Society.

After all, they were not rebelling for power and profit, but for the sake of all people under heaven.

If the imperial court could move toward prosperity, they naturally wouldn't want to commit more slaughter.

But who knew that the magnificent reform would only last for 103 days before being forcibly interrupted by the coup launched by Empress Dowager Cixi and others? They also simultaneously severed the last hope of all benevolent people in the world for the Manchu Qing.

The Manchu Qing was already beyond saving!
