Chapter 39
Regardless of the disturbances in the world, the Quanzhen Sect also has its own troubles.

It is said that on August 16th, [-] in Jiading, a fight completely turned the Zuixian Tower into ashes. Qiu Chuji and the others didn't know whether they were really afraid of others' compensation or what, so they ran away overnight.

A group of nine people failed to find Zhou Botong in the end, so they had to go back to Quanzhen Sect first. After all, they had left Quanzhen Sect for a long time, and Zhao Zhijing took care of the things in the teaching.
After a difficult journey, with the help of enthusiastic pilgrims, they finally returned to Zhongnanshan Chongyang Palace within half a month by boat.

After not coming back for more than three years, Qiu Zhiqing felt that the appearance of Chongyang Palace had changed greatly, but the original location of the palace gate had not changed.The Chongyang Palace was originally built in the valley, and the original buildings only occupied a small part of the valley, but now the buildings in the valley occupy more than one third.

The Chongyang Palace, which was considered quiet in the past, is now a little more noisy...

Even the Buddhist scripture pavilion he likes to go to has been moved into a huge cave, and there are even a few more martial arts training grounds!

Looking at a group of three generations of Taoist priests who greeted them in front of the Chongyang Palace, Qiu Zhiqing looked at them silently. There were still a small part of them that he didn't know, and some of them were missing from his memory. It seems that a lot has indeed changed in the past three years...

On September 16th of the [-]th year of Jiading, Chongyang Immortal Gate ascended the high day, jumped to the Heavenly Gate, reborn, and proved the real body!
As the saying goes: if the east wind does not give Zhou Lang convenience, there will be one less person who will plant cornel everywhere!
The morning class of the Double Ninth Festival was very solemn, almost all the members were present, and the scene of chanting the Taoist scriptures together seemed to add a little more sacred and solemn to the blessed place of Taoism, which should be happy and peaceful.

Today, Ma Yu, the head teacher of Quanzhen Sect, handed down a decree that shocked everyone: from now on, the seven sons of Quanzhen need to retreat and study inner alchemy, and all affairs of Quanzhen will be handled by the chief of the third generation of Quanzhen, Qiu. Zhiqing!Full discretion!
As soon as this decree came out, not to mention Zhao Zhijing jumped up on the spot, even Qiu Zhiqing himself was a little confused. He hadn't even taught his disciples a few times, so why did he suddenly want to take charge of Quanzhen's teaching affairs?
But seeing Zhao Zhijing jumping up straight away with an incredible expression on his face, Qiu Zhiqing frowned even more!How come this person has practiced Taoism for so many years, and why is he still losing his composure in front of such a false name?
Quietly label Zhao Zhijing as "obsessed with desire for power, squinting with six desires"!

Although they don't know why they came back for only a few days, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen decided to replace Zhao Zhijing, the disciple who had always been the head of the three generations, with himself, the direct disciple who had been away for three years.

good!In fact, Zhao Zhijing has always been the head of the three generations. In addition to being the first batch of apprentices, he is 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 of them!He is not the invincible hand of three generations of disciples...

Until Qiu Zhiqing went down the mountain more than three years ago, his martial arts were always inferior to Fang Zhiqi and Liu Zhiyuan, and Yin Zhiping, Li Zhichang and others were also brothers, and Fang Zhiqi and Liu Zhiyuan were personally instructed by Qiu Zhiqing to practice martial arts.

Therefore, although Qiu Zhiqing has never participated in the competition within the sect, his martial arts are the strongest among the three generations, and no one doubts this.

Quietly observe the reactions of other people. Among the dozens of direct disciples present, most of them are slightly surprised, and there are not many people who show displeasure!On the contrary, it is more of a look of anticipation...

right!He was sure that he was not mistaken, it was indeed the color of expectation.

This made Qiu Zhiqing very puzzled...

Soon, the grand morning class ended, and today was a day off, neither martial arts training nor scripture copying.

I originally wanted to go to my master and ask what was going on, but unexpectedly, I was caught by Fang Zhiqi and Liu Zhiyuan from left to right...

"Zhiqing, after a long time, it's autumn now; I'm here to reminisce about the past!" The two of them smiled and drove Qiu Zhiqing to the back of the mountain. He just happened to enjoy the treatment of an official, so he let them The two set up and ran all the way to the back mountain...

"It seems that I am the one who traveled across mountains and rivers? What does it have to do with you?" There is nothing wrong with this!

Fang Zhi laughed and said: "Yeah, I know it's not easy for you to travel across mountains and rivers to find us to talk about the past, don't you think we are also driving you across mountains and rivers now? Let's make it even!"

Can it still count?

At this time, Liu Zhiyuan also said: "That's right, that's good. I heard from Master that you went to Lin'an City in the Song Dynasty. How about it? How about telling us about the prosperity and prosperity of Lin'an?"

The three of them chatted and laughed, and then they came to the back mountain where they used to care for small animals. At this time, the autumn is getting stronger, and it is the season when the grass is withered, the pheasants and the rabbits are fat. These years, they can be regarded as eating regularly. Rabbits in autumn and fish in mountain streams are the fattest!

After a while, the three of them set the trap, sprinkled the bait, and then began to sit and wait. Qiu Zhiqing made a float and started fishing in the pool created by the waterfall in the mountain stream, hoping to have a hearty picnic at noon.

By the way, this mountain stream does not lead to the ancient tomb, how do you know?Because they play here from childhood to adulthood!

Fang Zhiqi asked curiously: "Brother, in Lu You's poem, it is said that the taste of the world is as thin as gauze for years, who makes people ride horses to Jinghua. The small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty. Is Lin'an really so prosperous?" ? There is no curfew at night, and the store is not closed?"

Liu Zhiyuan also said in agreement: "Brother is right, I am also curious, but even great poets like Lu You are not doing well in Lin'an, even though they feel that the world is so indifferent, they still want to ride horses and live in the capital to enjoy the prosperity , the cost must be huge, right?"

Both of them are from Guanzhong. They are both grown-ups. They probably have never been down the mountain since they entered Zhongnan Mountain. How do they know the prosperity of the world?
So Qiu Zhiqing also joked: "Lin'an is naturally prosperous, as the saying goes: outside the mountains, the green hills, the buildings outside, the West Lake, when will the singing and dancing stop? The warm wind makes the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou is called Bianzhou."

The two were dumbfounded, and Liu Zhiyuan whispered, "Junior brother, do you still dare to go to that kind of place?"

Qiu Zhiqing was taken aback by these words: "What kind of place?"

Fang Zhiqi said leisurely: "It's a place where singing and dancing are endless..."

"Go~~ This is talking about the current state of the officials' residences. What does it have to do with your noble Zhiqing Junior Brother?"

……

The three of them spent the whole afternoon reckless in the back mountain, and when they were about to go down the mountain, they found that Liu Zhiyuan was a little depressed. Qiu Zhiqing couldn't help being curious. In his heart, this Senior Brother Liu was not a sentimental person...

"Senior brother, what's the matter? It won't be that the younger brother has been out for a few years and his cooking skills have improved so much that the younger brother is a little bit reluctant, right?"

Fang Zhiqi joked: "What else can I do? A few days ago, the uncles and uncles of the Heavenly Master discussed the matter of spreading branches and leaves. As the second direct disciple of the master, he was fortunate to be sent to the Luoyang area to support the sky alone. He is the chief of Quanzhen Taoist Nanwu Sect!"

Qiu Zhiqing suddenly realized, he naturally knew about this!On the way back to Zhongnan Mountain, they got a piece of news that the Kingdom of Jin moved its capital south to Kaifeng, and the middle of the Kingdom of Jin fell soon. At this time, the Mongol army marched in a large scale, and it was likely to sweep Hebei!
At this time, Quanzhen Sect is also facing a brand new choice-whether to stick to Zhongnan Mountain, or spread its branches and spread leaves, occupying various famous mountains and rivers, and turn Quanzhen Sect into a Tao of Heavenly Masters, composed of multiple branches mode.

At this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jin Guo may not be able to persist for a few years, so the Quanzhen Seven Sons decided to each receive a branch of Taoism. They usually do not use the name of Quanzhen Sect, but are named after factions, such as Liu Zhiyuan and his master Tan Chuduan Founded "Nanwu School"!
It is called "Nanwu School" externally, and "Nanwu School of Quanzhen Taoism" internally.Among them, Fang Zhiqi is also the descendant of Tan Chuduan, and he stayed in Zhongnan Mountain as a branch, as a representative of the "Quanzhen Dao Nanwu Sect" stationed in the ancestral court of Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain...

And this retreat of the Quanzhen Seven Sons is to thoroughly perfect the theory of Quanzhen Dao, as well as the Taoist realm.

……

After the evening class, Qiu Zhiqing knocked on the door of Ma Yu's teaching academy, and Ma Yu told Qiu Zhiqing some of Quanzhen's situation in recent years, mainly income, expenditure, and the situation of being affiliated with Taoist temples in various places.

That's right, there are now many Taoist temples in the North that are attached to the Quanzhen Sect. Most of them have their own inheritance, and it's nothing more than a good shade under the big tree!

"How? Do you have the confidence to carry forward my Quanzhen Teaching in your hands?" Ma Yu smiled, but his eyes were quite serious.

"Time is a little tight. If my disciple said he was [-]% sure, he must be lying to you, master! But I heard that all the masters and uncles have decided to disperse?" Qiu Zhiqing finally couldn't bear it, and asked solved this problem.

Ma Yu walked to the window, reached out to catch a falling apricot leaf, and said with emotion:
"When a leaf falls, you know the autumn of the world... This time, the Kingdom of Jin suffered a crushing defeat, and the Mongols became murderous again. The wind and snow are about to come, and the heart is sad, unable to recover from the cold. Whether we are outsiders or people in the rivers and lakes Even with his identity, he can only barely protect himself, and he is powerless to recover..."
