Chapter 146: A great disciple, a strict master, is upright and not a gentleman.

After carrying Xu Shilin and leaving Jinshan Temple, Chen Kang breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Kang said: "You kid, do you know how much risk I took by bringing you to Jinshan Temple to see Fahai? Just now, the old monk Fahai had murderous intentions towards me."

Xu Shilin is confused now.

He couldn't understand Chen Kang's words. He didn't even know what Chen Kang was talking about.

Chen Kang took Xu Shilin back to Qiantang County.

Xu Jiaorong and Li Bilian were shocked when they saw Xu Shilin's dejected look.

"Chen Kang, what happened to Shilin?" Xu Jiaorong asked anxiously.

Li Bilian said: "Cousin, how are you? Nothing can happen to you."

Chen Kang said: "It's okay. The trip to Jinshan Temple had some impact on Xu Shilin's mood. It may be that I was a little stricter on him, which caused trouble in his mind. Let him rest for a few days and he will recover."

Xu Jiaorong nodded and said: "That's good. As long as it's okay. If something happens to Shilin, how can I be worthy of his parents?"

Chen Kang shook his head secretly.

Xu Shilin was raised too well by Xu Jiaorong, which resulted in Xu Shilin's character being weak, like a girl, without any masculinity in him.

Seeing Xu Shilin's weak look, Chen Kang thought of the "little fresh meat", a species that had been mentally castrated.

…

After half a month, Xu Shilin finally calmed down completely.

Xu Jiaorong said happily: "Shilin, are you really okay?"

Xu Shilin said: "Aunt, I'm fine. I'm just a little hungry."

Xu Jiaorong said: "It's good if you're hungry. It's good if you're hungry. Bilian, come and help, we'll make something delicious for your cousin."

Xu Shilin woke up and Li Bilian was also very happy.

Li Bilian secretly scolded Chen Kang more than once or twice.

She thought it was Chen Kang who caused her cousin to become like this.

It's better now. My cousin finally recovered and is back to normal.

A table of dishes.

All of them are what Xu Shilin likes to eat.

Xu Jiaorong kept picking up food for Xu Shilin.

Xu Shilin said: "Aunt, I can just eat it myself."

Xu Jiaorong asked: "Shilin, tell aunt that Chen Kang took you to Jinshan Temple to meet Fahai. What happened? Chen Kang didn't tell us in detail when he came back."

Li Bilian was also curious and said quickly: "Yes, yes. Cousin, what was the situation at that time?"

Xu Shilin said: "At that time, I wanted to persuade Master Fahai to let my mother go. I failed."

"It wasn't until Fahai agreed with my theory but refused my request. I realized then that the sages' books I read seemed to be of no use except for taking imperial examinations."

"I feel like reading is of no use. I'm a little confused."

This incident had a huge impact on Xu Shilin's ideas.

It can be said that it directly destroyed his three views and persistence.

The great principles in the sages' books are actually of no use.

So, what is the meaning of the sages’ books that I have read for ten years and the gentleman’s way that I have adhered to?

Xu Jiaorong and Li Bilian looked at each other.

They could notice that Xu Shilin seemed to have changed.

Xu Shilin said: "Aunt, when I'm full, I'll go see Chen Kang. He may be able to answer my questions."

…

Xu Shilin walked into Chen Kang's courtyard.

Chen Kang looked cold and said, "Here you come. Did your aunt ask you to come, or did you come on your own?"

Xu Shilin's character is too cowardly. It is impossible for Chen Kang to teach him in accordance with his aptitude and be so gentle to him. He must be strict and ruthless to inspire his bloody courage.

Because of this.

That's why Chen Kang spoke so harshly and violently to Xu Shilin.

When Xu Shilin saw Chen Kang's appearance, he was instinctively afraid. But he still answered bravely: "I want to do it myself."

Chen Kang nodded and said, "Come to learn martial arts?"

Xu Shilin said: "It's not just about learning martial arts, it's also about solving doubts."

Chen Kang said: "Okay. Starting today, I will officially teach you martial arts. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. If I can answer it, I will tell you everything. If you can't answer it, you can ask someone else."

Xu Shilin was about to kneel down and become his disciple.

Chen Kang said coldly: "Stand up. My disciples have no rules about kneeling. A man who is upright will only kneel to his ancestors and parents. Others are not worthy of your kneeling. If a person kneels too much, his legs will become weak."

Xu Shilin said: "Yes, teacher."

Chen Kang glanced at Xu Shilin and said: "Seventeen years ago, you were not born yet. I came to Qiantang County seriously injured. It was the Xu family and your mother who saved me. I taught you martial arts and how to master strength.

, which can be regarded as repaying the kindness your mother had towards me back then."

"If that's not the case. Humph, you Xu Shilin is not qualified to learn one and a half of Chen's moves. The Four Books and Five Classics are rubbish stuff that can be bought in any bookstore. And Chen's martial arts skills and secret cultivation techniques are beyond words.

Can’t be exchanged for gold.”

"Xu Shilin, you are a scholar and like to reason. Then, I will tell you the truth of Chen Kang."

"There is a duel of 'power' going on all the time in the world. Financial resources, power, intelligence, etc., all kinds of forces are intertwined with each other, but in the end, they will all be transformed into force, which can also be said to be violence."

"Whoever has stronger force will be the winner."

"If other forces cannot be transformed into force when the situation is desperate, then even the God of Wisdom will be crushed by violence and disappear."

"What Chen pursues is the true meaning of strength."

"I use martial arts skills as a tool to open the door to power."

"Therefore, Chen's principle is that 'the fist is the last word'. When my fist is hard enough, I have a point."

Xu Shilin said in shock: "The fist is the last word? But evil never prevails over good..."

Chen Kang sneered and said: "Evil can never defeat good? That's just your imagination. Have you forgotten that there is a saying that 'the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy'?"

"Whoever wins is just. Whoever is strong is just. History is written by the victors. The losers are eliminated and have been reduced to withered bones in the ground and have no right to speak."

"Good and evil are defined by humans. We just think we are righteous. In fact, in the hearts of monsters, monsters, and strange creatures, we humans may be the most evil existences."

Xu Shilin shuddered and said: "Isn't that the law of the jungle? The strong is respected? Aren't those moral articles and benevolence and righteousness in the books of sages completely unreasonable?"

Chen Kang said: "It makes sense. How can it not make sense?"

Xu Shilin was confused and said: "Teacher, didn't you say that fists are the last word? Don't you believe that the weak should eat the strong and the strong should be respected?"

Chen Kang shook his head and said: "Fists are the last word. But what I admire is martial arts skills. Technology is the key to the door of power. Whether it is the law of the jungle or the way of a gentleman, everyone has something in their heart.

Your own principles. It depends on whether you have the strength to defend your own principles."

"Xu Shilin, do you know who the strongest person is in the cultivation sect?"

Xu Shilin shook his head.

Chen Kang said: "It is not the leader, but the elders who protect the law and the elders who enforce the law. Protecting the law and enforcing the law are to defend the principles and rules of the sect. They must have the strongest power. Otherwise, law enforcement and law enforcement are just a joke."

"Of course, what I said may not be completely true. It's just a family opinion. I don't ask you to believe in my principles. After all, this is not a pure martial arts skill. What the public says is right, and what the mother-in-law says is right. From now on, we will deal with these things

No more discussion."

Xu Shilin confirmed that what Chen Kang said made sense.

At least, it is more true than what the Master said in the book.

Use strength to defend the truth in your heart.

Whoever is strong is justified.

Strength is justice.

These remarks are treason and heresy.

However, if you calm down and think carefully, it seems that these fallacies are the real truth.

Chen Kang saw Xu Shilin thinking and ignored him.

Today, Chen Kang said enough.
