Chapter 286: Depend on it

However, after just a few sentences, Xin Zhen attracted the attention of most people.

Xin Zhen's approach was very novel. He first raised several issues that everyone was very concerned about, and then used extremely strong logic to analyze and explain them. He also cited countless classics to support his views. In just a few minutes, Xin Zhen had analyzed the issues clearly.

Xin Zhen then raised a few more questions and conducted the same analysis and explanation, using many classics to support his arguments. After a few quarters of an hour, he once again came to a conclusion on the issue. His arguments, evidence, and logical chain were impeccable.

Xin Zhen used this method to clearly answer many questions that were difficult for his disciples to understand or think through.

Almost everyone was attracted by Xin Zhen's speech. Xin Zhen on the stage sat cross-legged, his back straight, his head half tilted back, his eyes warm, his face smiling, his voice clear, making people feel like spring breeze. It made everyone feel that the person on the stage was not a teenager, but a great and virtuous person who was giving a lecture to everyone.

Sun Buer was originally somewhat disdainful of Xin Zhen, a young man who was sitting high on the stage, but after hearing what happened next, she felt a little ashamed of her previous ridicule.

Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong, Liu Chuxuan and others all seemed to be thinking about something.

Xin Zhen on the stage saw that thousands of Taoists below the stage were all thinking about something, and he knew that there should be no problem with today's lecture.

In fact, he had never participated in such a grand imperial lecture, and didn't know what the format was. He just asked the boy and then gave a lecture in the same way. If there were any mistakes, it was a very normal problem.

However, Xin Zhen was, after all, the third place in the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty. With the logic honed through his experience in the imperial examination, countless classics in his mind, a mentality as steady as a rock, and impeccable stage presence, he presented a grand imperial lecture that even the Six Masters of Quanzhen could not deliver, and impressed most of the Taoists present.

On the second day, he started explaining the way of swordsmanship. Xin Zhen analyzed the new Quanzhen swordsmanship one by one. Since there was only one day, he could not go too deep and could only give a brief introduction.

But judging from his attainments in swordsmanship, even if he just briefly talked about it, he was countless times stronger than others. Hearing this, the Quanzhen disciples were all swayed in their hearts and couldn't extricate themselves.

After holding on for two days, Xin Zhen thought he was finally free. However, Yin Zhiping sent back a message asking for help. Afterwards, all the three generations of disciples under Qiu Chuji went down the mountain. Before leaving, Zhen Zhibing instructed Xin Zhen to start the teaching of all their disciples.

After all, they are not here, and Qiu Chuji is in seclusion now. It would be inappropriate to leave him alone. Xin Zhen can be a lecturer and swordsmanship instructor for all the Taoists in Chongyang Palace, so why can't he teach Qiu Chuji's four generations of disciples?

This is the truth, but Xin Zhen is unwilling to listen.

I have the least experience and am the youngest, so why should I take care of these things myself?

However, Xin Zhen had no choice but to ignore it, because early the next morning, about 200 young Taoist priests gathered at Xin Zhen's door. When Xin Zhen opened the door, he was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"

A young Taoist priest smiled and said, "Before our master left, he told us to come to Junior Brother Yang's door and wait for his instructions. Aren't we all here now?"

Xin Zhen said with a look of surprise: "Senior Brother Li, you are all older than me and entered the sect earlier than me. Don't you have any jealousy towards me, a latecomer? If it were me, I would not listen to such words and would have found a place to rest long ago."

As soon as these words were spoken, more than 200 people burst into laughter.

Senior Brother Li said loudly, "Our master has long told us that if you go over, Yang Guo, the lazy boy, will definitely slack off and then use his words to tease you so that you won't feel comfortable asking him to teach you sword skills. Then he will slack off for a few days and make us pester you to learn sword skills."

Xin Zhen said helplessly: "Doesn't everyone have a copy of the New Quanzhen Sword Manual? Can't you just learn it on your own?"

Another Senior Brother Xu laughed and said, "How can they be the same? We all listened to your explanation of sword techniques yesterday. No matter how difficult the sword techniques are, you can easily master them.

No matter how profound the concept is, your casual explanation is better than our years of pondering it.

No matter how difficult a move is, you can always explain the key points clearly, allowing us to get started in one step.

There is a shortcut, why do we torture ourselves? Oh, no, this is not a shortcut. Master said that the sword technique you explained contains a set of sword truths that are applicable to the world.

If we can learn this set of truths, then our sword skills will be improved qualitatively, and we may even be able to catch up with Master Yin!"

When Senior Brother Xu said this, the others also said, "Yes, yes, our Master also said so."

Xin Zhen said angrily: "You guys are relying on me, right?"

Senior Brother Li said, "Junior Brother Yang, you can't say that. Brothers in the same sect learn from each other. Since you are an advanced disciple, why don't you teach us, the younger ones? Isn't that great?"

Xin Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "My teaching method is unacceptable to most people. It's very tiring."

Senior Brother Xu laughed and said, "Junior Brother Yang, please don't underestimate us. Since we are here, as long as we can learn something, you can do whatever you want with these hundreds of kilograms. Don't you agree?"

"Yes, Junior Brother Yang, you can torture me as you like, I am not afraid of hardship!"

“Yes, Junior Brother Yang, please don’t pity me. I am not afraid of pain.”

"Junior Brother Yang, come on, if I scream in pain, you can stab me wherever you want!"

"..."

The little Taoist priests were all laughing.

Xin Zhen: “…”

Since you are like this, don't blame me for being rude.

Xin Zhen laughed out loud and said, "Are you sure you want me to teach you?"

Senior Brother Xu clasped his fists solemnly and said, "Junior Brother Yang, we all admire you from the bottom of our hearts. Whether it's martial arts, Taoism, or your way of dealing with people, you are all worthy of our learning.

We came here today, firstly because of our master's order, secondly we really want to learn something from you, and thirdly..."

Senior Brother Xu looked at everyone and said, "... Junior Brother Yang's knowledge and ability are far superior to his peers. We are all disciples of Changchun Zhenren, and we are brothers who are as close as can be.

Our lineage may soon surround you. This is just a preview of what will happen in the future. Let's practice first, and then we can face the outside world in unison. Don't you agree?"

The young Taoist priests responded loudly: "Yes, that's right, that's exactly the truth!"

"That's right, Junior Brother Yang is very talented. If you don't lead, who will?"

"Congratulations! Our Changchun lineage has produced a genius like Junior Brother Yang. Our lineage will surely prosper!"

"..."
