Chapter 39
The first three generations
Ignoring the troubles in the world, Quanzhen Sect also has the troubles of Quanzhen Sect itself.
Speaking of August 15, 16th year of Jiading, a battle finally turned the Zuixianlou into ashes. Qiu Chuji and the others didn't know whether they were really afraid of others claiming compensation or something, so they ran away overnight.
A group of nine people finally failed to find Zhou Botong, so they could only return to Quanzhen Sect first. After all, they had left Quanzhen Sect for a long time, and the things in the teaching were handed over to Zhao Zhijing for processing. They still don’t know what the things in the teaching were!
After a difficult journey and with the sponsorship of enthusiastic pilgrims, they finally returned to the Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain within half a month.
Having not returned for more than three years, Qiu Zhiqing felt that the Chongyang Palace had changed a lot, and the original location of the palace gate had not changed. Chongyang Palace was originally built in a valley, and the original buildings accounted for only a small part of the valley, but now the buildings in the valley account for more than one-third.
The Chongyang Palace, which was quite quiet in the past, is now a bit more noisy...
Even the Sutra Library that he likes to go to has been moved into a huge cave, and even a few more martial arts practice grounds have been added!
Looking at a group of three generations of Taoist priests greeting in front of the Chongyang Palace, Qiu Zhiqing looked at it silently and found that there were still a small part of them who didn’t know them, and there were also few people in their memory. It seems that a lot of changes have been made in the past three years...
On September 9, 16th year of Jiading, the Chongyang Immortal Gate climbed the high sun, jumped over to the sky gate, and transformed into a true body!
As the saying goes: If the east wind does not give Zhou Lang a stroke, there will be less than one person who can wear dogwood everywhere!
The morning class on Double Ninth Festival is very grand. Almost everyone presents the scene of reciting Taoist scriptures together, as if the Taoist beauties that should have been free and quiet have a little more sacred and solemn.
Today, Ma Yu, the head of Quanzhen Sect, passed on a decree that shocked everyone: From now on, the seven sons of Quanzhen will need to go into seclusion and study the internal alchemy technique. The affairs of Quanzhen will be handled in full force by Qiu Zhiqing, the chief of Quanzhen's third generation, with full authority!
As soon as this decree was released, not to mention Zhao Zhijing jumped up on the spot, even Qiu Zhiqing was a little confused. He hadn't even taught his disciples several times, so why did he suddenly have to take charge of Quanzhen's academic affairs?
However, when he saw Zhao Zhijing jumping up and his incredible expression on his face, Qiu Zhiqing frowned even more! Why did this person have been practicing Taoism for so many years, but he still lose his composure in front of such a false reputation?
Secretly label Zhao Zhijing as "the desire to be vigilant, the desire to be squinted"!
Although I don’t know why I came back in just a few days, Quanzhen Qizi decided to use his own disciple, the head sect who had been out for three years, to replace Zhao Zhijing, a disciple who has always been the first in the third generation.
Not bad! In fact, Zhao Zhijing has always been the first in the three generations. In addition to being the first to become a disciple, he is also the oldest among the three generations of disciples, and his kung fu is one of the best among the three generations of disciples!
Not bad, just one! He didn't fight all three generations of disciples invincible hands...
Before Qiu Zhiqing went down the mountain more than three years ago, his martial arts skills were not as good as Fang Zhiqi and Liu Zhiyuan, Yin Zhiping, Li Zhichang and others, and Fang Zhiqi and Liu Zhiyuan were Qiu Zhiqing's personal guidance on practicing martial arts.
Therefore, although Qiu Zhiqing has never participated in the inner competition, his martial arts skills are the strongest among the three generations, and no one questioned this.
I quietly observed the reactions of others. Among the dozens of personal disciples present, most of them were a little surprised. There were not many people who showed unpleasant faces! Instead, they showed more expectations...
Yes! He was sure he was not mistaken, and he was indeed looking forward to it.
This made Qiu Zhiqing very puzzled...
Soon, the grand morning class ended, and today is a day off. There is no need to practice martial arts or copy scriptures.
I originally wanted to find my master and ask what was going on, but I didn't expect that I was caught by Fang Zhiqi and Liu Zhiyuan on the left and right...
"Zhiqing, after years of separation, it is autumn now; we are wading through mountains and rivers, and we come to reminisce about the past!" The two of them smiled and ran to the back mountain. He just enjoyed the treatment of Master Guan, so they let them raise it up and run all the way to the back mountain...
"It seems that I am the one who travels through mountains and rivers? What does it have to do with you?" There is nothing wrong with this!
Fang Zhiqi smiled and said, "Yes, I know it's not easy for you to come to us to reminisce about the past. Do you think we are walking through you now? Just think it's even!"
Can it still be calculated like this?
At this time, Liu Zhiyuan also said, "It's not bad. I heard from Master that you went to Lin'an City in the Song Dynasty. How about it? Tell us what kind of prosperous scenery is Lin'an?"
The three of them talked and laughed, and came to the back mountain where they used to care for small animals. At this time, the autumn atmosphere became stronger and stronger, and it was the season when the pheasants and rabbits were fat. In recent years, they have eaten the rules. The rabbits in autumn and the fish in the mountain stream are the fattest!
After a while, the three of them set up a trap, sprinkled with bait, and then began to wait for the rabbit. Qiu Zhiqing made a float and started fishing in the pool of waterfalls smashed out of the mountain stream, hoping to get a richer picnic at noon.
By the way, I would like to add that this mountain stream does not lead to the ancient tomb. How do you ask him how he knows it? Because they have been playing here since childhood!
Fang Zhiqi asked curiously: "Junior brother, Lu You said in his poem: The world is as thin as gauze in the years, who ordered horse riding to visit Beijing? A small building listened to the spring rain overnight, and the deep alleys sold apricot flowers in the Ming Dynasty. Is Lin'an really so prosperous? There is no curfew at night, and the store will not be closed?"
Liu Zhiyuan also said: "I'm curious about what my senior brother said, but even the great poets such as Lu You are not doing well in Lin'an. Even if he feels that the world is as weak as a veil, he still wants to ride a horse to live in the capital to enjoy the prosperity, the expenses must be very high, right?"
Both of them are from Guanzhong and are so adults. I guess they have never been down the mountain after entering Zhongnan Mountain. How could they know the prosperity of the world?
So Qiu Zhiqing joked: "Lin'an is prosperous, as the saying goes: Green mountains and buildings outside the mountains, when will the West Lake sing and dancing stop? The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and they make Hangzhou Bianzhou."
The two were stunned, and Liu Zhiyuan whispered: "Junior brother, do you still dare to go to that kind of place?"
These words made Qiu Zhiqing stunned: "Which place?"
Fang Zhiqi said leisurely: "It's a place where you sing and dance endlessly..."
"Go~~This is about the current situation of the current officials' residence. What does it have to do with your noble character, Zhiqing?"
...
The three of them were in the back mountain for an afternoon. When they were about to go down the mountain, they found that Liu Zhiyuan was a little depressed. Qiu Zhiqing couldn't help but be curious. In his heart, this senior brother Liu was not a sentimental person...
"What's wrong with Senior Brother? It's not that my junior brother has been out for a few years and has made his cooking skills a little reluctant to leave, right?"
Fang Zhiqi joked: "What else can I do? A few days ago, the uncles and uncles discussed the matter of scattering their branches and leaves. As the second disciple of the master, he was fortunate to be sent to Luoyang area to support the sky alone. From now on, he will be the chief of the Quanzhen Dao Namo Sect!"
Qiu Zhiqing suddenly realized that he naturally knew about this! On the way back to Zhongnan Mountain, they obtained news that the Jin Dynasty moved its capital south to Kaifeng, and the Jin Dynasty quickly fell. At this time, the Mongolian army launched a large-scale advance, and it was very likely to sweep Hebei!
At this time, the Quanzhen Sect also faced a new choice - whether to stay on Mount Zhongnan, or spread branches and leaves, occupy various famous mountains and rivers, and turn the Quanzhen Sect into a model composed of multiple branches and veins like the Heavenly Master Dao.
At this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Jin Kingdom might not be able to hold on for a few years, so the seven sons of Quanzhen decided to each lead a Dao meridian. They usually do not call the Quanzhen Sect, but only named it after the sect, such as the "Nanmo Sect" founded by Liu Zhiyuan and his master Tan Chuduan!
It is called the "Namo Sect" to the outside world, and the "Quanzhendao Namo Sect" to the inside. Among them, Fang Zhiqi is both the direct descendant of Tan Chuduan, and is a representative of the "Quanzhendao Namo Sect" who is stationed in the Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain...
This time, the seven sons of Quanzhen went into seclusion, which was to completely improve the theory of Quanzhen Taoism and the realm of Taoism.
...
After the evening class, Qiu Zhiqing knocked on the gate of Ma Yu's head of the school. Ma Yu told Qiu Zhiqing some of the real situations in recent years, mainly about income, expenditure, and the situation of affiliated Taoist temples in various places.
That’s right, there are many Taoist temples in the north now affiliated with the Quanzhen Sect. Most of them have their own heritage, and it’s just a pleasure to enjoy the shade under the big trees!
"How? Do you have the confidence to carry forward my Quanzhen in your hands?" Ma Yu smiled, but his eyes were quite serious.
"Time is a little tight. If the disciple says he is absolutely sure, he will definitely be lying to you, Master! But the disciple heard that all the uncles have decided to disperse them?" Qiu Zhiqing finally couldn't help but ask this question.
Ma Yu walked to the window, reached out to catch a falling apricot leaf, and said with emotion:
"A leaf falls to tell the world that autumn is coming... This time, the Jin Kingdom was defeated, and Mongolia became murderous again. The wind and snow were about to be sad, and I was unable to stop the weather. Whether it is the identity of a person outside the world or the identity of a person in the world, we can only barely protect ourselves, and we are unable to turn the world back..."
