Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 111: Sea of ​​Ice Seals Gold, Snow Moon Slays Dragon

A group of landless people migrated to Sakhalin Island. Under the guidance of the gods, they received news of divine grace and began to spread it in Liaodong in a slow but tenacious way.

Also spreading at the same time was 'Bo Hai Bing Sha'.

And this unique set of martial arts has been proven to be more effective the closer one is to the Far North.

In fact, people who practice it will gradually adapt to the cold, or even become one with it, as their true Qi grows stronger and they practice for longer periods of time. Temperatures above five degrees Celsius will make them feel uncomfortable, as if they were in a hot desert, while temperatures below zero will make them feel comfortable. If there is sufficient humidity, it will be even more perfect.

Qiu Chuji mastered the true Qi, and from a high level, he created martial arts that, although still cultivating internal Qi, already involved the slow 'transformation' of the human body.

If this world is upgraded to a medium-level or even high-level martial arts world, Qiu Chuji's actions may really induce the emergence of a very powerful frost race that can only live in the far north.

Of course, the situation in the Jin Dynasty continued to deteriorate. Although Wanyan Liang and Wanyan Yong reached an agreement and chose to temporarily jointly govern to overcome the difficulties, when there were two rulers in the country, the political and military orders would become quite complicated when they reached the local areas and the front lines.

Correspondingly, after a period of integration, the Central Plains region gradually began to glue together scattered thoughts in the form of a unity of clan and politics, and then, with the slogan of completely annihilating the Jin bandits and taking revenge, it mobilized an army of 100,000 and continued to advance northward, almost reaching Shangjing.

The Jin Dynasty, which in a certain sense still existed in the form of a tribal alliance, was almost on the verge of disintegration under such threats.

The timing and people's harmony were all secretly destroyed by Qiu Chuji, and the only advantage of geographical location could only play a very limited role.

The countdown to the fall of the Jin Dynasty has begun.

The Song court, which was living in the south, and the Western Xia, which had long been eyeing the Central Plains, were both ready to make a move.

However, the more external pressure there is, the more closely the originally loose alliance becomes, and more and more people take many things that sound like just slogans seriously.

The Central Plains Rebel Alliance is like a precision machine that is about to be assembled.

The concept of the unity of religion and politics proposed by Qiu Chuji and implemented by Wang Chongyang could be implemented relatively smoothly because of the pressure from powerful external enemies.

Wang Chongyang's promise to abdicate after ruling for a maximum of ten years after everything was accomplished was a lubricant that eased many conflicts of interest.

Most of the northern nobles who truly adhered to Confucianism had already been killed in several rounds of attacks by the Jin people. Those who were still alive now had quite flexible bottom lines.

The principle of "The emperor takes turns, and it will be my turn next year" which seemed like a joke actually made the rebel alliance, which was originally only able to win battles but not lose them, more cohesive.

It also meant that the wealthy families in the Central Plains who contributed money, manpower and effort did not immediately think about fighting for the throne after driving the Jin people out of the Central Plains. Instead, they continued to actively prepare for war and kill the Jin thieves in order to achieve the goal of destroying the Jin in one battle and eliminating their worries.

On the calm sea of ​​Sakhalin Island, there are still some icebergs floating there which are coming from the sea further north. The pure white and crystal snow covers the sea surface, which rises and falls with the waves, almost making people mistake it for fine white sand. The golden sunlight sprinkles on such a sea surface, and the cold wind blowing in your face brings with it a primitive romance and the grandeur of the loneliness of the world.

Standing on the top of the mountain, life will become insignificant and the self will be infinitely enlarged and shrunk.

At this moment, I am the universe, yet as small as a moment.

Qiu Chuji stood on a high mountain, looking out at the sea in the distance and the whales that occasionally jumped out of the sea, and let out a long breath.

The true Qi circulating in the body is so thick and vast that it is difficult to calculate in terms of 'a number of years'.

Because as the skill level increases, the original calculation method has already lost its value for assessment.

Qiu Chuji only knew that there was still some distance, not too short but not too long, before he could refine his true Qi into a golden elixir, use the golden elixir to knock open the Yuxu Bell, and make the bell ring.

But Qiu Chuji had already washed away his impetuousness.

It is a process of cultivation that requires hundreds or thousands of years, but one is in a hurry to achieve it in a day. This is a kind of negligence and carelessness.

He is now crossing the river by feeling the stones, and he can never be too cautious, so why is he in such a hurry?

I am not afraid when the opportunity comes, I will wait patiently when it has not come.

The road is right under your feet, just walk slowly.

He has been staying on this island for nearly three months. During these three months, more and more people heard the news and moved here to receive martial arts inheritance and begin to admire him... Gradually, there are not only Jurchens, but also Khitans, Mongols, local Mao people, and a small number of Russians.

When these non-Jurchen ethnic groups arrived, they were initially met with unanimous hostility and rejection by the Jurchen people, but Qiu Chuji made the Jurchen people accept them, and after building houses and fishing and hunting, they often gathered together to hold bonfire parties in order to speed up their integration.

When the Jurchens disappeared and a new ethnic group was born, how could it not be considered as the complete severing of the dragon vein belonging to the Jin Dynasty?
This time of slaying the dragon made Qiu Chuji feel a lot.

Contrary to what Qiu Chuji originally imagined, the more barbaric a country is, the easier it is to cut off its dragon veins.

In fact, the opposite is true.

It can be said that the Jin Dynasty was equivalent to the "ancestor dragon" of the Jurchen people. Qiu Chuji cut off this dragon vein, which seemed to be to overthrow a country, but in fact it was to completely make a nation disappear in a certain sense.

Because of this, Qiu Chuji's first two strikes were easy, but the last strike was slow to land.

If Qiu Chuji had chosen the Song court at the beginning, he would have just destroyed the Song court instead of making things so complicated.

Because Song civilization is a child civilization of Han civilization, after Song was destroyed, Han people established a new country and inherited many things, but it was a new dynasty. After a few hundred years, people would only miss the splendor of some of the culture of Song, but would never think of restoring it and letting it stand again.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The high priest has selected ten beauties and asked you to choose the saint to serve you." A ball-like boy wearing thick fur ran to the middle of the mountain and shouted at Qiu Chuji, panting.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chuji sighed helplessly.

If there is anything bad after the manifestation of the Divine Power, it is that these people always want to give him something to do.

It is a very 'routine' operation for each tribe to select a saint to serve him.

When they first arrived at Sakhalin Island, these guys even thought of capturing a few hairy people and burning them for him as sacrifices.

After that, there were many foolish and bloody activities, most of which were immediately stopped by Qiu Chuji, but there were a few "slippery fish" who were severely punished by Qiu Chuji afterwards. At the same time, he established rules to strictly prohibit any form of human sacrifice, or any way that harmed the interests, life, freedom, and survival of others to "please" him as a god.

Qiu Chuji killed people without blinking an eye because those people blocked his way or did something unjust.

This does not mean that human life is worthless in Qiu Chuji's eyes.

The more powerful your practice is, the less you should take life lightly.

Qiu Chuji practiced with Yinrui, but he also saw and learned a lot from it.

Yinrui is a tiger. He needs to hunt animals every day to get food. That is his way of survival, but he will not do meaningless killing. This is not "good" or "bad" as defined by human civilization, but he knows that in his territory, wanton and meaningless hunting of prey will lead to ecological imbalance in the territory, and he will not be able to get enough food in the near future.

From Yinrui, Qiu Chuji saw the cycle of nature and understood more deeply the importance of respecting the preciousness of life. This is learning from nature, and this is following the way of nature.

"No need. If you have enough young and strong people, then you can hold more social gatherings. This place is cold and remote, but it is rich in resources. As long as two or three generations manage it well, even this place will become prosperous."

Qiu Chuji's voice floated down the mountain, blocking the boy from going any further up.

"But... the high priest said..."

"Listen to me or to him?"

Upon hearing this, the boy immediately turned around and went down the mountain.

······
In August, the rebel army broke through the city of Shangjing, and a fire burned half of Shangjing to the ground. The Wanyan clan of the Jin Dynasty fought desperately and were almost all killed or wounded. Although some remnants fled, the Jin Dynasty had in fact been declared destroyed.

In today's world, there is one less powerful country dominating the north.

The remaining Jurchens scattered, and most of them fled to Sakhalin Island.

In February of the following year, half a year after the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the first batch of babies born from ethnic integration came into this world and made clear cries.

This island wrapped in cold wind is full of vitality.

Qiu Chuji personally appeared and named these children. Their names sounded neither like Jurchen, Khitan, Mongolian, nor Han.

Instead, Qiu Chuji listened to the north wind and uttered different syllables as his heart desired.

Writing comes from language, and language comes from the original way people called each other.

Qiu Chuji intentionally guided the residents of Sakhalin Island to derive a new language, and from the language a new flower of civilization would emerge.

Also, on that night, a bright moon rose over the sea, but the north wind brought with it falling snow, and strange phenomena appeared in heaven and earth.

Qiu Chuji rode on Yinrui, who had grown to more than four meters in length after having eaten a lot of fish and eaten a lot of meat and practiced martial arts recently. He stood on the top of a high mountain, looking in the direction of Jiujin. Faintly, he seemed to see dragon blood spilling.

Roar···!
The low, sad and helpless dragon roar is real.

Qiu Chuji raised his hand and clenched it, then slowly rose from Yinrui's back. Using his Qinggong skills, he briefly floated in the air, then swung his hand and slashed straight ahead, as if to kill the already dying dragon.

The last sword pierced into the heart of the Jin Kingdom’s dragon vein.

A huge amount of spiritual energy, as if it had traveled through time and space, gathered into Qiu Chuji's body.

The amount harvested this time was much more and larger than Qiu Chuji had originally expected, and far exceeded the previous two collections.

Just like what Qiu Chuji destroyed was not just the Jin Kingdom.

Driven by the huge spiritual Qi, the true Qi was constantly generated and gathered in Qiu Chuji's body. Then Qiu Chuji's Dantian, which was originally as vast as a river, continued to expand, just like turning into the North Sea in front of him, calm, deep, dark, yet extremely terrifying and huge.

Just a little!
He is just one step away from crossing that hurdle, that line, ringing the Yuxu Bell, taking control of the future, and meeting Changsheng!
