Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 131: No Leisure in the World

Jiaxing, Yanyu Tower.

Huang Yaoshi was hosting a banquet to entertain Qiu Chuji, the two brothers Ke Pixie and Ke Zhen'e.

Of course there were not only the four of them at the table, there was also Feng Heng who accompanied them, and six other sworn brothers and sisters of Ke Zhen'e. Of course, at that time there was no name of Seven Heroes (monsters) of Jiangnan, because except for the eldest brother Ke Zhen'e and the second oldest Zhu Cong, the others were still teenagers and could not hold up a stage.

During the banquet, although the host was Huang Yaoshi, everyone's eyes unconsciously drifted towards Qiu Chuji.

It's not that everyone is looking down on others and wants to flatter the powerful and bully the weak... Besides, Huang Yaoshi is definitely not "low", it's simply because Qiu Chuji is too legendary.

He is the only top star in this world. No matter whether he is good or evil, or even in the world or the court, it is an honor for countless people to have the opportunity to know him.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were all still at their most unstable age, and most of the time they did not pay attention to restraining themselves. As they chatted, the topic always revolved around Qiu Chuji, completely ignoring the host of the banquet, Huang Yaoshi.

Fortunately, Huang Yaoshi was not someone who cared about these red tapes, and he and Feng Heng were on the verge of breaking up, so the two of them were exchanging glances at the table and didn't care about anything else.

Qiu Chuji did not put on airs and chatted with everyone, giving full responses to some questions that were easy to answer.

"Master Qiu came to Jiangnan this time, is he going to get rid of another treacherous minister?" The fanboy Ke Zhen'e looked at Qiu Chuji with shining eyes. Before he went blind, his eyes were also sharp.

Qiu Chuji shook his head: "Killing people is just a temporary solution. If we want the world to be stable and the people to live and work in peace, we still need a good situation."

Qiu Chuji did not want to discuss this issue in depth, so as to avoid making it seem like he was doing underground work and making advance plans for the future southward movement of the new dynasty.

"I came here this time to visit the Three Mountains of Talismans and learn some spells."

"Ah?" Ke Pixie and the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan all showed a look of disbelief.

The youngest, Han Xiaoying, who is only ten years old now, pouted and said, "What? I thought the Taoist priest was going to kill another dog emperor. I heard that the new emperor is not a good person either."

"Little sister! What nonsense are you talking about!" Ke Zhenwu scolded.

"Where did you hear these words from?"

Han Xiaoying was a little afraid of Ke Zhenwu, but she still tilted her neck and said, "The storytellers in the teahouse all say this, saying that the current official arbitrarily changed the ancestral system and refused to acknowledge that the Quanzhen Sect led an army to recover the Central Plains, calling it a demon."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the banquet, which had been lively, suddenly cooled down.

Qiu Chuji smiled and said, "They are my enemies and my heroes. From the perspective of the Song government, as long as they still have the ambition to make progress, they cannot accept the legal and moral tradition of the Quanzhen Sect."

To be honest, Zhao Shen, who succeeded Zhao Gou and became the emperor of the Song Dynasty, can be regarded as the most outstanding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Years ago, he resisted resistance and worked hard to redress Yue Fei's unjust case, which put an end to many things.

At the same time, he has been employing pro-war figures and determined to go north to recover the Central Plains. In domestic affairs, he has also been trying to strengthen centralization, actively rectify the administration of officials, cut redundant officials, and punish corruption.

At the same time, considerable attention is also paid to agriculture.

If there had been such an emperor during the heyday of the Song Dynasty, it is hard to say that the Song Dynasty would have reached its current state.

It can be said that he was born at the wrong time to be an emperor.

Unfortunately, even if Zhao Kuangyin's descendants regained the throne, they could not reverse the decline.

"Master, you are now a pillar of the Northern Dynasty. Why are you really learning those magic arts now? How is the difference between you and Huizong?" Ke Zhen'e was obviously very dissatisfied with Qiu Chuji for not helping to govern the country, but instead visiting the Three Mountains of Talismans to learn the art of talismans.

After all, in the simple understanding of many people, the Quanzhen Sect occupied the north. Although they did not establish a family dynasty, Qiu Chuji would definitely be the leader of the next generation.

Who made Qiu Chuji famous all over the world and also a disciple of Wang Chongyang?

If Wang Chongyang abdicated and passed the throne to Qiu Chuji, no one would have any objection.

Including those northern nobles who have long been eager to take power.

Even our own people thought so, and of course those in the south who were still under the rule of the Song court would only think so.

So what if Qiu Chuji is his, Ke Zhenwu’s idol?
Even if the idol does something wrong, he will still criticize him!
Upon hearing this, Qiu Chuji almost held his forehead and smiled bitterly.

This Ke Zhenwu is indeed a notorious troll and foul-mouthed person. Although he has a good character, it is indeed easy to make people feel uncomfortable when interacting with him.

"I am a Taoist priest. Can it be considered excessive for me to learn some spells?" Qiu Chuji said with a smile. Although he was smiling, his drunkenness was gone.

Sure enough, the facts have once again proved that some people just need to be watched and respected from afar. There is no need to make close friends with them, let alone think about interfering in their lives.

During the banquet, Huang Yaoshi was probably the only one who noticed Qiu Chuji's mood change, so he broke off the eye contact with Feng Heng, raised his glass and said to Qiu Chuji: "Brother Qiu Dao wants to be a thousand-year-old saint, paving the way for us warriors, not a hundred-year-old emperor."

"It doesn't matter whether this matter is high or low, it just means that everyone has their own aspirations."

Ke Zhenwu wanted to speak more, but his eldest brother muted his microphone manually.

"Master, don't mind it. My brother is a bit outspoken. He doesn't mean any harm!" Ke Pixie said. He was also quite hot-tempered, but compared to his brother, he was a bit more tactful.

"The north will not be ruled by one family. Apart from the master, no one else in Quanzhen Sect will rule the world. Absolute power will only lead to absolute corruption. That's why there are no two suns in the sky. But the divine bow that shoots down the sun is in Zhongnan Mountain!"

"Everyone! The wine is gone, and the words are too much. I'm leaving now!" After saying this, Qiu Chuji put down the wine glass, suddenly turned into a green light, jumped out of the window and ascended into the clouds.

Everyone knows that gods are good, but they can never forget their fame!
Where is the ancient and modern image? The grave is covered with grass.

The world knows that gods are good, only gold and silver can not be forgotten!
In the end, I only hate to get together, but for a long time my eyes are closed.

Amid the lingering singing, Qiu Chuji's figure disappeared into the horizon, leaving no trace.

Ke Zhen'e and others were lying in front of the window looking out, and when they saw Qiu Chuji walking away on the clouds like a god, they suddenly felt bored.

Even a stubborn person like Ke Zhenwu couldn't help but reflect on himself at this moment. Was his idea wrong?

Perhaps it is a good thing for a deity like Qiu Chuji to float away from this world, for him and the world?
Qiu Chuji didn't take what happened at the table to heart at all.

Although he likes to stay in the human world and watch the world's fireworks, essentially speaking, he is no longer an ordinary person. In terms of time, he is no longer equal to ordinary people.

Ordinary people look at the rise and fall of the past few decades or even years.

But he focuses on hundreds, thousands, or even countless years.

He should get used to the fact that his perspective is different from that of many ordinary people. In the eyes of ordinary people, his actions and goals are empty, and only he himself believes that they are real.

Not escaping from the mundane world, yet not being tainted by the vulgarity either.

This is what he should experience in his practice.

······
Among the Three Mountains Talismans, Longhu Mountain is always the first.

But at this moment, Qiu Chuji first visited Maoshan in Jurong.

After all, he borrowed the talisman from a Maoshan disciple. Although there are no gods, Buddhas or immortals in this world, who can say that there is no connection between the worlds?
When he came to Maoshan, he only intended to make an exchange based on mutual consent, and would not do anything to seize or rob others.

Of course, there are many handsome Taoists on Mount Maoshan, and the incense in the Taoist temples on the mountain is also very prosperous.

The Maoshan Sect is one of the three ancestral temples of Taoism, but it also has a branch called the "Shangqing Temple". They are fellow martial artists, but there have always been only three or five people walking around in the martial arts world in each generation. Although they are all strong, they have not made a big name for themselves.

The greater role of this type of martial arts sects is to protect the Maoshan Taoist Temple. They usually guard only one acre of land. They will only come out to settle the situation if outsiders from the martial arts world cause trouble in this area.

Qiu Chuji came to visit and sent a visiting card first.

When his visiting card was delivered to Shangqing Palace, the entire Maoshan was mobilized.

Thousands of Taoist priests, big and small, crowded on both sides of the mountain path. Two old Taoist priests in purple robes, supported by their disciples, came down the mountain and greeted them at the gate.

This is much more attention than the one Qiu Chuji received when he visited Maoshan in the zombie world.

"Xu Chunyin, the head of the Maoshan sect, led 1,120 people from Maoshan to see the Great Sage."

After seeing Qiu Chuji, everyone checked his identity with the portrait of Qiu Chuji they had obtained, and then bowed and greeted him.

Qiu Chuji was stunned. Great Sage... was he talking about him?

He obviously forgot that he had several identities that were recognized and acknowledged by all the countries in the world.

At the beginning, he killed emperors of two countries in a row, which scared the dignitaries of various countries crazy. All kinds of false titles were given to him just to make him restrain himself, be less angry, take action less, and kill less people.

In order to achieve this goal, the Song court even awarded him honorific titles such as "Great Lord of Great Ding" and "Anfu Zhenren", hoping to see if they could use their reputation to restrict Qiu Chuji, so that he would be more concerned about his own reputation and do things that fit his reputation.

"My fellow Taoists, you are too polite!"

"I came here today to ask for something."

"Of course, I didn't come here empty-handed. Everyone, just wait and see!"

Qiu Chuji did not beat around the bush. Before making his request, he first showed him a box of fifteen magic pills.

"This is the 'Tianyuan Pill', a treasure from heaven and earth. One pill can ensure that a martial artist can reach the pinnacle of martial arts, and it can also make the truth of Taoism manifest." Qiu Chuji said.

"I wonder what the immortal is doing here?" Looking at the 'elixir' in Qiu Chuji's hand, many Taoists showed desire in their eyes, but the leader of Maoshan, Xu Chunyin, was very calm and did not agree immediately.

He was not a martial artist, so he did not understand how tempting the world's best was to a martial artist.

As for the Taoism revealing the truth... he has never even seen what the truth is, so how can it reveal the truth? How tempting can it be to him?
