Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 132: The Three Mountains Talisman, the Mystery of the Mysterious Heart

As the saying goes, the greater the gift, the greater the request. Seeing Qiu Chuji take out this box of so-called "Tianyuan Pills", the martial arts practitioners of Shangqing Temple who were protecting the way were very jealous and even ready to make a move. However, Xu Chunyin, the head of Maoshan, felt overwhelmed and could only ask carefully: "I wonder why the immortal came here?"

"We, Maoshan and Quanzhen, are from the same sect. If we can help, we won't refuse."

"However, we are just some Taoists practicing in the mountains. If it is too difficult, we can't do anything."

"You...would...would...would...would...would...give me a definite answer!"

Xu Chunyin finished speaking in one breath and felt his skin all over his body tightening. To ordinary people, he was already a very important figure. Even those dignitaries had to show some humility and piety in front of him.

But at this moment, how could he dare to be so arrogant in front of Qiu Chuji?

I just want to get rid of this plague god Qiu Chuji as soon as possible.

Qiu Chuji said, "Nothing else! I'd like to borrow your Maoshan collection of classics for you to read."

After Qiu Chuji finished speaking, the Taoist priests in purple robes around him all breathed a sigh of relief.

There's nothing wrong with just looking at the classics.

It’s not that some things don’t have thresholds, but when this threshold is placed in Qiu Chuji’s place, there is no obstacle at all.

In fact, if most of the Wanshou Taoist Canon had not been destroyed in the war, Qiu Chuji would not have had to make a special trip to the Three Mountains Talisman and could have gone directly to see the Taoist Canon.

Xu Chunyin also smiled. "You may not know that the Maoshan lineage has always been learning altar dipping, preaching, talismans, forbidden spells, divination, praying for rain, fulfilling dreams, body epidemics, worshipping gods, etc. We have not learned much about the art of inner alchemy, but we have inherited a lot of external alchemy methods of collecting herbs for health preservation. If you are interested, I can arrange for my disciples to copy a copy and send it to Zhongnan Mountain."

This was to remind Qiu Chuji that their Maoshan sect did not have any powerful secret manuals passed down.

After all, to a certain extent, the inner power and inner alchemy practice actually have many similarities, and they can even be considered to be on the same path in this world.

Internal skills and mental methods are almost a prerequisite for inner alchemy practice.

"I don't need to come to you to learn martial arts. What I want are your methods of altar dipping, preaching, talismans, forbidden spells, divination, praying for rain, fulfilling dreams, epidemic prevention, and worshiping gods!" Qiu Chuji said.

"Well, well, please follow me up the mountain. After we have had our vegetarian meal, I will personally lead you to read the book."

"If there is anything you don't understand, I can explain it to you." Xu Chunyin said earnestly.

Since he was not here to cause trouble, Xu Chunyin became active.

Maoshan’s heritage has a long history, but this is only the foundation, not the real strength.

Since Qiu Chuji came to them on his own initiative, there was no reason for them to be polite. In the future, they should ask the disciples of Shangqing Temple to come closer and ask for advice. It would be the best if they could teach him one or two of the sect's martial arts.

In fact, before Qiu Chuji did those great things, many Taoist and Buddhist sects did not attach much importance to the martial arts passed down in the martial arts world.

For example, Shaolin Temple, although the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism among all Buddhist temples in the world, is not the leader of Buddhism. It just shows off its power in the martial arts world.

After all, no matter how well one learns martial arts, one can only defeat a hundred people at most. But if they learn and use what they have mastered well, they can reach the emperor and pardon the people. Wouldn't that be much more powerful?

But Qiu Chuji told everyone that martial arts can become divine, one person is a country, and can attribute infinite power to himself.

From then on, all the ambitious or powerful forces in the world began to study martial arts, hoping to replicate Qiu Chuji's extraordinary path.

Even if it cannot be completely replicated, having 30% of its power would be enough to dominate the world.

"There's nothing interesting about vegetarian food. I don't have any dietary restrictions." Qiu Chuji said to Xu Chunyin.

Hearing this, Xu Chunyin's face suddenly became even more delighted: "Haha! It's good to not have any dietary restrictions!"

"Then let the chef in my Maoshan Sect's kitchen prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain our distinguished guests!"

At this moment, Xu Chunyin even had some more irrelevant thoughts, such as... bringing Qiu Chuji, the Quanzhen Taoist priest, into the orthodox lineage!

This is how Qiu Chuji settled down on Mount Mao.

I look through the classics in the Maoshan library every day.

Of course, he also read all the talismans and Taoist books that were needed.

It is very strange that the talismans and spells that have been passed down from Sanmao Zhenjun for about eight or nine generations, in Qiu Chuji's view, are all real things. Some are even quite profound, worthy of Qiu Chuji's effort to learn and memorize, but the more time goes by, the more distorted they become.

Although some talismans and spells created by later generations look more fancy and even similar to the original, they have actually deviated from the correct path and no longer have any real effect.

This even made Qiu Chuji wonder whether in the past, the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth in this world was really more surging and majestic, so that some people could use talismans and Taoist magic. When the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth was insufficient and difficult to support, the later generations were only left with imagination, so they gradually changed without knowing it.

Of course, the truth has become difficult to find out as time goes by, and Qiu Chuji does not necessarily want to find out the secret.

Qiu Chuji stayed on Mount Maoshan for about a month. He not only learned all the talismans and spells he thought he could learn, but also consulted the Taoist priests on Mount Maoshan about many details of the rituals and traditional precautions.

During this time, he also taught the Taoists of Shangqing Temple martial arts, which made them all gain a lot. With the dozen or so demon pills as supplements, it is expected that it will not be long before there will be more top masters from Shangqing Temple in the martial arts world. After reading the inheritance of Maoshan, Qiu Chuji asked Xu Chunyin for a letter and then went to Longhu Mountain.

Among the three mountains talismans, Longhu Mountain is generally considered to be the first.

Perhaps the talismans and spells passed down from Mount Longhu are more complete and diverse.

The same process was almost repeated in Longhu Mountain.

Everything went more smoothly than at Maoshan.

The Zhang family of Longhu Mountain is not only the direct descendant of the Zhengyi Sect, but also the big landlords and a prominent family in this area. The so-called Zhang in the South and Kong in the North have stood firm for thousands of years. Not only because they have deep roots and are connected with the same sect, but also because they can adjust their direction in time to cater to the times.

The martial arts heritage of Longhu Mountain has always been good, it’s just overshadowed by other names.

The fact that General Hong failed to capture a demon from the cellar of the Demon-Suppressing Hall was viewed by Qiu Chuji today as a result of Longhu Mountain's deliberate move, as they had seen that the fate of the Song Dynasty was about to end, and that was why they were looking for the dragon among the people.

Many of the various martial arts and methods displayed by the Liangshan heroes originated from the inheritance of Longhu Mountain, but they used some tricks and pretended to be others.

Qiu Chuji taught the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain martial arts. They took out the ancient classics of their sect and let Qiu Chuji look through them. They were all very satisfied and felt that they had made a great deal.

The heritage of Mount Longhu is indeed stronger than that of Mount Maoshan. Qiu Chuji stayed there for a month and a half, and then finally went to Mount Gezhao.

At this time, there was no need for Qiu Chuji to explain anything when he came to Gezhao Mountain. The Taoists here had already known the purpose of Qiu Chuji's visit from other channels and were quite cooperative.

It really couldn't be more profitable to exchange some talismans and spells, which they thought were just for show, for the martial arts secrets and elixirs in Qiu Chuji's hands.

Qiu Chuji stayed in Gezhao Mountain for one month, and in this period of three or four months, he combined the strengths of the talismans of the three mountains and gradually gained a deeper understanding and ideas about the art of talismans and spells.

······
In the small world, in the garden, Qiu Chuji was holding a Taoist book, petting a cat, and waiting for more Taoist friends to come and visit him.

As the little world was open for longer periods of time, Qiu Chuji's initial utilitarianism was gradually worn away. Of course, it was not that he became indifferent to desires, but that he just let everything take its natural course.

Boom boom boom!
The door knocker rang.

The gate of the Taoist temple opened in response.

A graceful figure wearing a pink dress, with an elegant and otherworldly temperament, walked in through the door.

Qiu Chuji looked up and saw Su Tianxin walking in with her skirt lifted up, with a hint of joy in her eyes.

He had been waiting for Su Tianxin for a long time.

"I haven't seen you for many days, fellow Daoist, you are still so calm and composed." Su Tianxin couldn't help but laugh and tease as he looked at Qiu Chuji, who was sitting on the stone bench without moving his butt at all, as if he was coming to greet him.

Qiu Chuji put down the Taoist book in his hand and asked, "Do you want to drink wine or tea this time?"

Su Tianxin thought: "Last time it was wine, this time... let's drink tea!"

Qiu Chuji waved his sleeves and brewed tea appeared on the stone table. The fragrance of tea filled the air, making people salivate.

"This is the best enlightenment tea, please taste it." Qiu Chuji stretched out his hand and said.

Su Tianxin came over and sat gracefully on the stone bench beside Qiu Chuji. Then she picked up a cup of tea, put it under her nose to sniff the fragrance, and then slowly put it into her mouth.

After a moment, Su Tianxin came back to her senses, wiped her eyes, then took out a scroll and placed it in front of Qiu Chuji.

"This is the Mysterious Heart Secret Technique, a revised version that I made as promised before."

The last time Su Tianxin came, Qiu Chuji not only gave her the Refreshing Fruit, but also taught her the Nine-Death Silkworm Magic Skill. She also promised to share the Mysterious Heart Secret Skill with him after she had modified it.

At that time, Qiu Chuji was just making a casual investment and was not sure whether Su Tianxin could really come back.

It now seems that as long as one has deep blessings and a strong desire to return, the fellow Taoists in the heavens have a high probability of being able to set foot here again.

Just like Jiajing.

Qiu Chuji picked up the Mysterious Heart Secret Art and began to read it.

The Mysterious Heart Secret Technique is also a method of talismans, the difference is that its activation relies on the resonance of one's own magic power with the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth to produce great power. Different from the Three Mountains Talisman, it belongs to God, man, heaven and earth, a trinity, working together to form a unique effect.

In terms of power, the Xuanxin Aomi Jue is no less powerful than those advanced talismans in the Sanshan Talisman inheritance, but in terms of flexibility and specificity, the Sanshan Talisman is more complete.

After all, the Three Mountains Talisman method, by borrowing the power of the ancestors and gods, can borrow many mysterious powers and achieve incredible effects.

"Take a look at this too!" Qiu Chuji casually took out a Taoist scripture of talismans and handed it to Su Tianxin.
