Chapter 13: Propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, the four pillars of a country
Not being afraid of death and not being afraid of death are two different meanings.

The Zhenbei Army is not afraid of death, dying in the northern border is their destiny.

Players are not afraid of death because they can be resurrected after death.

After seeing Ye Aonaiwohe pull the clothes off his "corpse" and put them on, the Yancheng martial arts field fell into an eerie silence, which lasted until I, who don't eat beef, trotted to the martial arts field.

"I have never heard of it, I have never seen it before. This is the first time I have heard of the existence of the magical power of [immortality of the soul and indestructibility of the body] in this world."

Guo Xiaoding, who has already entered the fourth realm, really doesn't know which sect has such terrifying magical powers. If the military strategists have such powerful and terrifying magical powers, they would have been the leader among all the schools long ago!
What is Confucianism, Mohism, Legalism, Taoism, and Yin-Yang School?
All of you must kneel before my military strategist.

"Mr. Chu, which sect can master the magical power of [immortality of the soul and indestructibility of the body]? What is the philosophy of this sect and what works does it have?"

The name has changed.

Before, Guo Xiaoding called Chu Zhongxing "young man", but now, he actually called him "Mr. Chu Zhongxing".

Sir is a respectful title. Guo Xiaoding didn't know which sect's magical power [immortal soul and indestructible body] belonged to. When he called him Sir, he was asking for advice from Chu Zhongxing from the bottom of his heart.

If the philosophy of this sect, "The soul is immortal, the body is indestructible," is consistent with and similar to that of the military strategists, Guo Xiaoding might consider letting the Zhenbei Army collectively join this sect.

If the sect's philosophy is different, if Guo Xiaoding returns to Di Shang one day, he will at most recommend this sect to the emperor of Di Shang and let the disciples of this sect serve as officials and assist the emperor.

The [aristocratic families] of the Imperial Shang Dynasty chose their sects based on the philosophies they identified with, rather than joining a sect simply because of its powerful magical powers.

Beliefs and ideals are above all else.

"[The immortality of the soul and the indestructibility of the body] is their innate magical power, not the magical power of the various schools of thought."

Chu Zhongxing shook his head and said, "Don't even mention that you, Guo Xiaoding, want to learn this magical power. I also want to learn it."

I wish I were a player. I could be resurrected after death, unlike now when I have to wait for the game to restart after death.

Oh.

This is a fantasy world.

It is really possible to cause the soul to be shattered and the body and spirit to be destroyed.

If you die, you may not even have a chance to start over.

"Innate magical power? That's a pity. If my Zhenbei Army can master this magical power, it will be easy to recover the northern border and return to the Imperial Merchants."

After the initial shock, Guo Xiaoding recovered. He looked at Chu Zhongxing and bowed, "Sir, if you have thousands of soldiers with the magical power of [immortal soul and immortal body], it will not be empty talk to recover the northern border and return to the imperial business.

But just two people, even if they are immortal, I am afraid."

Guo Xiaoding didn't say anything else. Chu Zhongxing laughed out loud when he heard it: "Hahaha, thousands?"

"General Guo, as long as you give me enough time, tens of thousands won't be difficult!"

"This"

"Is this true?"

Guo Xiaoding shuddered violently. If there really were tens of thousands of immortal soldiers, it would not be difficult to trample the barbarians on horseback.

"I, Chu Zhongxing, never lie to anyone."

Chu Zhongxing's words made Zhang Qifeng and Li Yulun blush. Zhang Qifeng was about to apologize to Chu Zhongxing, but Li Yulun, who was standing next to him, took a step forward with a ring-handled knife in his hand and knelt down in front of Chu Zhongxing.

"Mr. Chu, Li has previously looked down on you, acted rashly, and spoken rudely. His words have hurt you, so please forgive me."

Li Yulun held the ring-handled sword in both hands and handed it to Chu Zhongxing. Li Yulun's kneeling scared Chu Zhongxing. Chu Zhongxing, who had been in Yancheng for three days, knew very well that there was no kneeling etiquette between Yancheng officers.

In other words, there was no so-called kneeling etiquette between the emperor and his subjects in the entire imperial business world.

The people of the Empire kneel first to their parents, second to their teachers, and third to their benefactors.

Besides this, even the gods of heaven and earth are not qualified to make the people of Di Shang kneel down to them.

And now, the centenarian Li Yulun actually knelt in front of Chu Zhongxing, begging Chu Zhongxing to rebuke him.

"Master Li, you are embarrassing me!"

Chu Zhongxing hurried to help Li Yulun up, but Li Yulun was kneeling straight on the ground, using all his strength, and Chu Zhongxing couldn't help him up at all.

"Please blame me, sir!"

Li Yulun repeated again that because of his recklessness and contempt, he almost ruined the lives of 142 soldiers of the Zhenbei Army in their quest to recapture the northern border and return to Di Shang.

If Chu Zhongxing leaves Yancheng because of his behavior, he will be a sinner of Yancheng, an unforgivable sinner.

"Zhang has also looked down on you before, sir. Please blame me."

Another coach, Zhang Qifeng, also stepped forward. Seeing this scene, Chu Zhongxing's eyelids twitched wildly and his scalp felt numb.

How could he dare to endure the kneeling of two centenarians?
He is an old man who has been guarding the northern border for eighty-three years!

Isn't this shortening my life?
Chu Zhongxing quickly dodged Zhang Qifeng's kneeling and sighed heavily when he saw that he failed to pull Li Yulun up after several attempts.

"I admire the integrity of the two coaches."

At this moment, Chu Zhongxing felt that the sense of separation between himself and the world was disappearing, and he was slowly integrating into this world.

"To cultivate oneself is to implement one's own beliefs and ideas, and to integrate knowledge and action."

"If you don't know what you are doing, and don't implement your own beliefs and ideas, how can you cultivate yourself?"

Guo Xiaoding explained to Chu Zhongxing, the "outsider". Chu Zhongxing was silent for a moment. He picked up the ring-handled knife in Li Yulun's hand and gently hit Li Yulun and Zhang Qifeng with the back of the knife.

"Thank you sir for your forgiveness!"

The two centenary coaches clasped their fists and bowed to Chu Zhongxing, and Chu Zhongxing returned the greeting.

Propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are the four pillars of a country.

Chu Zhongxing, who used to swear all the time, had no manners, and had no idea what faith and ideals were in his previous life, began to like this world.

"General Guo, the two coaches, I hope you two can teach the two recruits according to their abilities."

"For example, first teach them to use the ring-handled sword, and then switch to the Mo Dao when their physical fitness improves."

Chu Zhongxing personally helped the two coaches up and discussed with them the training methods and optimized the [Novice Tutorial].

After witnessing the magical power of [immortality of the soul and the indestructibility of the body], the two coaches became very motivated. They patted their chests and said that they would definitely teach the two new recruits well.

Watching the two coaches training the two players starting with the ring-handled sword, Chu Zhongxing came to Guo Xiaoding and asked in a low voice: "General Guo, how can I join the military strategist!"

"You want to join my military family?"

Guo Xiaoding was surprised. He had witnessed with his own eyes Chu Zhongxing displaying the two great magical powers of "Building a House with One Tree" and "Pulling Up Seedlings to Help Them Grow". Logically, this guy should be a member of the Mohist school or the agricultural school. How come he wanted to join the military school in the blink of an eye?
