Chapter 28 Qiu Chuji
In Bayanwugula City, an old man with a Taoist crown and beautiful beard in a Taoist robe was leading a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe to walk around the construction site, and sometimes he would talk to the craftsmen who were directing the construction, which attracted the other party's sincere respect.
At this time, a man dressed in a Confucian scholar came from the street intersection on the side of the construction site. A Taoist priest saw it with sharp eyes, quickly bid farewell to the old man, and quickly met him.
"Brother Quan, did you get good news?" The Taoist priest was about thirty years old, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was filled with some anticipation and joy.
This is the document of Ochijin - Quandong, who was originally from Dezhou, Shandong. When he went to Beijing to take the exam, he happened to meet the Mongolian army heading south. He then became a captured slave. Later, when he went north, he was promoted by showing his strength with the wisdom of a scholar when he established Bayan Wugula City when Ochijin established Bayan Wugula City, and thus became Nayan, who was in the fief of Ochijin.
It is good to have mixed up with the current appearance as a Han Chinese.
The Taoist priest is the disciple of Qiu Chuji, the head of Quanzhen Sect, Li Zhichang. Perhaps because of his similar age and similar personalities, after coming to Bayanwugula City, Li Zhichang was quite interested in him.
At this moment, Quan Dong, dressed in a Confucian scholar, looked at Li Zhichang with a smile and said in a brisk tone: "Brother Li has the ability to predict, how can he know that I have received good news?"
"Hahaha, Brother Quan came over a few days ago, and looked at me with a grim brow and dodging his eyes. But I took the initiative to welcome you recently, but you didn't dodge. And your eyebrows were stretched, and it seems that the knot in your heart had been untied." Li Zhichang Kaikai talked and walked towards the construction site with Quandong.
"I admire you! Brother Li is as careful as he is, and he will not let down the name of Quanzhen Sect!" As he said that, Quandong couldn't help but be happy and said with a smile: "I have good news to tell several Taoist priests and Taoist priests this time."
As if he was keeping a secret, Quandong deliberately paused for a few seconds. Seeing Li Zhichang waiting for him to finish speaking, he smiled even more: "Haha, let's talk about such a happy event when you meet Qiu Daozun!"
"You are such a killer, really----", Li Zhichang couldn't help but laugh and scold, and followed.
When he arrived at a group of Taoist priests led by the old Taoist priest, Quan Dong restrained his jumping attitude just now and said with a dignified and solemn expression: "Zun Qiu, the king asked me to come and inform you. This afternoon, I will meet you in the tent and wait."
"That's great! The king finally agreed to see the master!" Before the old Taoist priest could not help but say happily before he could speak. Several older Taoist priests who were more steadily looked at the old Taoist priest at the same time. Although he didn't say anything, the joy on his face was beyond words.
After all, Ochijin was the youngest brother of the Mongol Khan today, with a noble status. He was also the nominal commander of the Han area in the Central Plains - Grand Master Mu Huali. During the Great Khan's expedition, he had the power to control Mu Huali.
Although anyone who understands it knows that this is nominal, in fact, Ochijin cannot control the Central Plains and Han areas. However, in the eyes of those who do not understand, this name still has a great influence.
This time, Quanzhen Sect was fortunate to be favored by the Great Han Dynasty and summoned the bishop to travel west to teach Taoism. Qiu Chuji brought eighteen followers to the eastern grassland by land, and first visited the prince who was the most honorable in the eastern grassland.
This can not only show the respect of Quanzhen Sect for this prince, but also show the recognition of the Quanzhen Sect for the hierarchy established by the Khan. However, Ochijin seems to have little interest in religions from the Han people.
Although Quanzhen Sect was allowed to establish a Taoist temple here, it never agreed to Qiu Chuji's visit.
Until today, I finally agreed to meet with Quanzhen Sect and his party.
Although Qiu Chuji, who was already 74 years old, had gray hair, he had good skills in nourishing qi. He smiled faintly and thanked Quan Dong's masterpiece, and at the same time said to Yin Zhiping, a personal disciple standing beside him: "Please take the "Da Dan Direct Measurement" copied by the old year and give it to all Taoists. This time, if you can get the king personally summoned this time, you must have the help of all Taoists."
"Where is it! Qiu Daozun is polite!" Quandong comes from Dezhou and is not too far from the mountain gate of Quanzhen Sect. Although he does not know the specific content of "The Great Alchemy Directly", Taoist classics always contain the art of self-cultivation and alchemy.
Generally, this kind of technique is directed by the sect and rarely leaks it out. Now the other party gives him a copy, even if it is copied, the content on it is exciting enough.
Li Zhichang looked at the excitement on Quandong's face and reminded him: "Brother Quan, this book was written by the head sect. If you practice according to the methods in the book, it is not impossible to become an immortal. Therefore, Brother Quan can only pass on the family and must not leak it out. Otherwise, the uncle who has become a master in this sect will also bring thunder punishment in the sky."
The legend of gods, gods, ghosts and ghosts in this era is very common! In ancient times without scientific concepts, practicing to become an immortal did exist in the hearts of most people. Although in the eyes of many superiors, this is simply fooling people.
When Quandong heard this, he saw that Qiu Chuji still looked like a master, so he looked quite fairy-like. He praised him more and sincerely kowtowed to Qiu Chuji a few times, calling him the "master" and giving him a full gift of books.
"Forget it! The old Taoist has reached the destiny and I don't want to accept disciples anymore. But if you respect me as a master, then you will accept you as a registered disciple. You can also manage the Taoist tradition in the East Mongolian land in the future."
"Thank you, the master, but my disciples are now committed to the king and preaching the mission---" Quandong was only happy for a few seconds when he heard that he could be responsible for the Taoist heritage of Eastern Mongolia.
"You don't need to worry too much about this matter. Now that you have obeyed the orders under the king's tent, you will do your job well. I will let your third senior brother Song Defang handle the Taoist inheritance in Eastern Mongolia with all rights reserved. But inheritance is indispensable to the king's help. Therefore, you only need to help one or two, which is enough."
"Disciple thanks for your understanding!" Quan Dong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and quickly thanked him. Then he saw that there was enough time, so he asked Qiu Chuji and others to go to his mansion to have a meal, and also completed the ceremony of apprenticeship.
It just so happened that Qiu Chuji and others also wanted to win over the whole East so that they could better spread Taoism in Eastern Mongolia. So they refused a few words and agreed happily.
Afternoon, he arrived at the palace where Ochijin lived and heard a message, Qiu Chuji only brought Yin Zhiping and Song Defang into the room.
It is covered with soft and luxurious Persian carpets, and several night pearls are inlaid on the walls. There are also various utensils made of colorful glazed glass. Just a glance, Qiu Chuji and others will know that the construction is expensive.
O Chijin sat cross-legged on his tiger-skinned couch, and the agate on his forehead seemed particularly brilliant.
"The head of Quanzhen Sect - Qiu Chuji pays homage to the king." As Qiu Chuji bowed, the other people also bowed.
"Get up!" O Chijin didn't make things difficult for them, and said lazily: "Full document, do you have any explanation for the reason why I summoned them to come?"
Quandong hurriedly said respectfully: "King, on the way to come, my subordinates have already explained that Master Qiu thought that the fire tube should be improved by the fireworks in the Central Plains."
"Oh? Does Master Qiu have a way to imitate it?" The lazy O Chijin leaned forward when he heard this, as if he was interested.
"This--", Quan Dong was in a dilemma, and Qiu Chuji had already replied: "Your Majesty, the old Taoist has no way to imitate it." Seeing that O Chijin's face was slightly dark, he seemed to lose interest in listening, and then continued: "But Taoism emphasizes cultivating and strengthening the body, and does not rely on external things as a support. If the prince practices Taoist methods, the gout disease can be relieved or even eliminated."
When O Chijin listened, he turned his eyes to Quandong, and was so scared that the other party was so scared that he knelt down and explained: "Master, my subordinates have never mentioned gout to Master Qiu!"
Qiu Chuji didn't care about the evil aura exposed by O Chijin, and still looked like a paranormal expert, saying: "The king's fingers are red, swollen and deformed, which is a sign that the wind poison has been in his body for a long time."
This sentence immediately dispelled Ochijin's doubts, and then Qiu Chuji talked about symptoms such as gout fever, chills, headaches and nausea, which finally made Ochijin completely convinced him.
So after Qiu Chuji gave the secret method of prolonging life, leaving behind some ammunition for treatment of gout, Ochijin directly gave the Taoist temple built in the city a hundred households. He also invited Qiu Chuji to explain Taoism in his palace in the next few days so that more people can know the profoundness of Taoism.
Such harvest has achieved Qiu Chuji's goal. On the way back, Song Defang was puzzled: "Master, it is not difficult to make fireworks, and it is not difficult to imitate the fire tube. Why do the master want to--?" Although he did not say the following words, the meaning was very clear.
Qiu Chuji just sighed, shook his head and did not explain. Yin Zhiping, who followed him, understood the master's thoughts and explained to Song Defang: "The Mongols burned and killed the person, and the places they passed through were all white bones hidden in the wild. If they obtained the method of fire tube, wouldn't the murder he committed more serious? God has the virtue of being a virtuous person. The master's actions were originally to persuade the Khan to commit less sins of killing, so how could he do this over-the-shelf act?"
"So that's it!" Song Defang looked at Qiu Chuji and suddenly felt that his master's image was even taller.
