Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 26 Who is the murderer?

Taoist Master Jingshu was previously in charge of managing hundreds of Taoist children recruited by Quanzhen Sect and had enlightened all of them. Now, upon hearing that he was seriously injured, the Taoist children who were originally practicing sword-fighting stopped what they were doing and ran towards the mountain gate in unison.

But before everyone could come out to greet them, they saw a short and fat boy, but strong as a calf, running towards them quickly with Taoist Jingshu on his back. This boy was Hao Datong.

"Hurry! Send the Taoist priest to the nearest bedroom, I'll get the medicine!" Ma Yu gave the order.

Qiu Chuji walked forward and began to check the injuries on Taoist Jingshu's body.

There are no obvious external injuries, but the breath is very weak and the lips are black, which should be internal injury and poisoning.

This made Qiu Chuji feel relieved. Although internal injuries were troublesome and poisoning was even more troublesome, as long as the right medicine was used, his life would be safe.

On the contrary, it is the seemingly simple external injuries that are truly fatal.

Chongyang Palace is located deep in Mount Zhongnan. If it was an external injury, he would definitely lose too much blood after fleeing all the way back.

Inside the bedroom, Ma Yu first fed Taoist Jingshu some dissolved Ganoderma lucidum powder, and dispersed the Taoist children and Taoist priests who came out of concern. Then he consciously stood guard in front of the door, leaving Qiu Chuji in the room to heal Taoist Jingshu.

Qiu Chuji took off Taoist Jingshu's outer robe and saw the black palm print on his chest. He sat cross-legged opposite him and stretched out his hands to press the Danzhong and Juque acupoints of the other party. He slowly transferred his true energy to the other party, suppressing the alien true energy in his body while forcing the poison out of Taoist Jingshu's chest.

An hour later, Qiu Chuji opened the door and walked out.

"How is Taoist Jingshu?" Ma Yu asked worriedly.

Qiu Chuji shook his head: "Not very optimistic, the most fatal one was the palm strike on the chest, the palm force was fierce and vicious, the poison has already invaded the internal organs, if it weren't for the Ganoderma lucidum powder to help suppress it, Taoist Jingshu would not have survived."

"The alien qi in the Taoist's body has invaded too deeply. If I want to remove it, I must force the Taoist's own qi out of his body."

"Even if he recovers, 70% to 80% of his cultivation will be wasted."

Hearing this, Ma Yu gritted his teeth in hatred and said, "Brother, can you tell which school of martial arts this is from?"

Qiu Chuji shook his head: "It's hard to be sure. The Five Poison Palms of the Five Poison Sect, the Poison Sand Palm of the Sea Sand Gang, the Iron Palm of the Iron Palm Gang...many martial arts schools have similar characteristics."

Qiu Chuji is not Wang Yuyan. Although he gained some experience in the martial arts world from Lin Chaoying, he had never seen it with his own eyes, and he did not have enough knowledge of the inside story of many other martial arts schools. He could not analyze from the injuries alone which sect or even who had injured him.

"When will he wake up?" Ma Yu was silent for a moment, then asked again.

"He will wake up in about half an hour." He took out the two bottles of jade bee jelly from his arms.

"When the Taoist priest wakes up, dissolve the jade bee syrup in water and feed it to him."

"I'm going to meditate first."

In order to heal Taoist Jingshu, Qiu Chuji's own Qi was also depleted. If he didn't meditate and recuperate as soon as possible, there was a risk of completely losing some of his Qi.

Qiu Chuji went back to his residence to meditate. By the time he had stabilized his foundation and regained consciousness, it was already dark.

When I opened the door, I saw food placed in front of it, including half a cold roast chicken wrapped in oil paper. It should have been sent by Wang Chuyi or Liu Chuxuan.

In the entire Quanzhen Sect, only they and Qiu Chuji were almost "openly" eating meat. Ma Yu tried to discipline them several times, but seeing that it was useless, he just turned a blind eye to it and didn't bother them.

He picked up the food and ate some quickly, then went to look for Taoist Master Jingshu again.

There were lights on in Taoist Master Jingshu's room, and two Taoist boys were guarding the door.

Qiu Chuji patted their shoulders, asked them to go and rest first, and then knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Taoist Jingshu's voice was hoarse, not as loud as before. Qiu Chuji pushed the door open and saw the Taoist lying on the bed with his clothes on, covered with a blanket, and a charcoal fire burning in the corner.

Although the probability of carbon monoxide poisoning in a brick house is lower, Qiu Chuji still opened the window slightly to let some air in.

"Master, how do you feel?" Qiu Chuji asked casually.

Jingshu coughed twice and shook his head: "Not good! My power has been lost by 80%, my internal organs are damaged, my heart and lungs are weak, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight anyone again."

Qiu Chuji thought of the Nine Yin Manual, the healing chapter in it was quite magical, maybe it could be effective for Taoist Jingshu, so he comforted him: "Master, don't be discouraged, Master is a great scholar, and when he comes back, there should be a way."

"By the way! Who on earth hurt the Taoist priest? So cruel!" When Qiu Chuji said this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Taoist Master Jingshu said: "I was ambushed and injured on my way back to the mountain. It seems that he didn't want to kill me, but deliberately let me return with serious injuries."

"As for who it was... I didn't see clearly, he was wearing a mask."

When Qiu Chuji heard this, he felt that this routine seemed a little familiar.

"Where are Master and Uncle-Master now?" Qiu Chuji asked Taoist Master Jingshu.

Taoist Master Jingshu said: "Some time ago, he was with us in the northern regions to gather heroes. However, after receiving a letter from Dali, the master got very angry at Bo Tong and then took Bo Tong to Dali."

Qiu Chuji heard this and knew what was going on, so he asked again, "Has anything big happened in Jianghu?"

Taoist Master Jingshu thought for a moment and said, "There is indeed one thing. There is a rumor that Jin Yanzi, the daughter of Princess Jinfu, fled to Huashan with a copy of the 'Nine Yin Manual', hoping to find a hero to entrust it to."

"This matter caused a lot of uproar, and later there was a rumor that whoever obtained the Nine Yin Manual would be the best in the world."

Taoist Jingshu shook his head and said, "What's the point of being the best in the world? The people of Song Dynasty lived worse than pigs and dogs under the rule of the Jin people. What's so great about being the best among pigs and dogs?"

Qiu Chuji felt the pulse of Taoist Jingshu again, gave him some advice on how to cure his diseases, and then left the room.

In the main hall of Chongyang Palace, Qiu Chuji found Ma Yu.

"Big Brother! I have to go down the mountain. Please take good care of the Quanzhen Sect. If you have any difficulties, you can ask Senior Lin from the Ancient Tomb Sect for help." Qiu Chuji said to Ma Yu.

Ma Yu looked at Qiu Chuji and asked, "Are you going down the mountain to avenge Taoist Jingshu?"

"You want to stop me?"

"No! Find the murderer and stab him twice for me. He not only seriously injured Taoist Jingshu, but I also sent people to the foot of the mountain to search for him. They found the bodies of Taoist Yuancun, Ziyun, Anqing and others. They were all severely injured by someone who murdered them, but they didn't survive."

"Among them, Taoist Master Ziyun probably didn't want to drag us down, so he headed out of the mountain and died on the side of the road. When we found him, his body had been torn to pieces by wild dogs."

Ma Yu's voice was trembling as he spoke. These people were both his elders and his comrades.

Now that they have died without any clear reason, how can he not hate them?
"Okay! I understand!" Qiu Chuji's eyes became calmer, but the anger in his chest was like a raging fire.

He had already guessed who had made the move.

"But if I want to deal with him, I still lack some confidence."

"It seems that I still need to owe Senior Orochi some more favors!"

Qiu Chuji left Chongyang Palace and went straight to the nameless valley.
