Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 286 Where is this for?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, on top of the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, it seemed as if a gate in the sky slowly opened, with countless brilliant lights and infinite auspiciousness inside. Fairy air seeped out from the gate, as if just one sniff would make all diseases go away, and just one sniff would greatly improve one's power.

From the Heavenly Gate, an old Taoist with white hair and beard and an immortal look walked out. His face could not be seen clearly, but he gave people an extremely sacred and solemn feeling.

He is truly an immortal!
At this moment, many people who saw this scene had the same thought in their minds.

The Taoist flicked the whisk in his hand, and a magical rain began to fall on Mount Emei. The rain fell on people's bodies. Some people with hidden diseases immediately felt refreshed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

Qiu Chuji was able to achieve this ability after he cultivated the spirit of Gonggong. With the power of the two gods Gonggong and Ju Mang, he was able to communicate with the essence of water and wood and merge them into rainwater, which could nourish all things like spring rain and activate vitality.

In this world, the evolution of all things cannot escape the operation of the Five Elements, so the power to control the Five Elements may seem old-fashioned and not trendy enough, but it undoubtedly points directly to the foundation of the Great Dao.

If one practices the Five Elements well, he will have a place in this world no matter what.

At this moment, accompanied by the falling of spiritual rain, the crowd who were still in a daze immediately knelt down and kowtowed, calling on the gods and begging for mercy.

There were also some brave people in the martial arts world who, relying on their good lightness skills, borrowed each other's strength and wanted to fly up into the clouds, enter the Heavenly Gate, and have a chance to become an immortal.

But although the Heaven's Gate seems to be right in front of you, when you really want to climb up it, it is always far away, as if it is only one step away, but this step always feels like a chasm.

Of course!

The Heavenly Gate was not completely fake. Qiu Chuji did open a short hole in the sky.

The other side of the door is his little world.

Whether the small world accepts people and what kind of people it accepts is all up to Qiu Chuji, right?

At this moment and place, Yang Guo was the only person who had entered the Heavenly Gate. He also felt dizzy and it felt very unreal.

All his senses were excited. This trembling and excitement all over his body made Yang Guo dizzy and as if he was in a dream... just like the state he was in in his previous life when he left his hometown in a small county and arrived in an international metropolis for the first time.

Everything is close at hand, and everything is far away.

Although he came in, he did not belong here.

There is no real place for him here.

"You came here with a jade sword in your hand, so you have a destiny with immortality. You can make a request to me. If I can do it, I will not refuse!" Qiu Chuji did not directly give out the 'Book of Immortality' as agreed, but planned to ask some more questions.

Although the routine is a routine, the goods are real.

The Book of No Quest for Immortality does record many of Qiu Chuji's own thoughts on the way of immortal martial arts, which can be regarded as a summary of all his insights into cultivation at this stage. It is hard to say whether he can directly lead to the path of immortality, but it should be no problem for him to cultivate his primordial spirit and become a land immortal in a world for a thousand years.

Upon hearing this, Yang Guo knelt down and kowtowed, “There is a tiger demon in Zhongnan Mountain. My disciple’s master, Taoist Qiu, used his own flesh and blood to turn an ancient tree to seal the tiger demon in the mountain for the sake of the people. I beg you to help me save my master and save the people.”

Qiu Chuji looked at Yang Guo who spoke from the heart and could not help but remain silent for a moment.

Sure enough, Yang Kang educated Yang Guo very well. Even though there were so many variables, he still chose kindness in the end.

Qiu Chuji nodded slightly and said, "I have not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time. I have my own heavenly rules to restrain me. If you want to eliminate the tiger monster and save the master, you can go by yourself!"

"I have a volume of immortal book for you to study!"

"When you achieve something, you will get what you want!"

As Qiu Chuji said this, he waved his hand and a jade scroll flew towards Yang Guo.

At the same time, Qiu Chuji maximized his spiritual senses. He wanted to see if the final change would happen at this moment.

Yang Guo took the jade book and immediately felt a stream of information flowing into his brain. A large amount of knowledge was quickly stuffed into his mind. At the same time, the true Qi that was converted in his body also began to operate rapidly, devouring the vitality of heaven and earth.

"Sudden enlightenment?" Qiu Chuji was not surprised.

Yang Guo was already extremely talented, and he had triple soul folding, so his talent was not much different from Yang Kang. It was normal for him to have some reaction after receiving a huge shock of knowledge.

However, Qiu Chuji soon realized that something was wrong. In Yang Guo's body, there was a fourth level of soul energy that was rapidly overlapping and releasing.

When the fourth layer of soul energy was completely integrated and attached, others might not feel anything, but Qiu Chuji felt like "the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart."

It seemed as if the whole world was shaking and turning violently.

Looking at the starry sky from afar, a vast energy surges in like a tide.

They were born from the stars, forcibly overlapping two unrelated worlds for a brief period of time.

What a great power this is?

When Qiu Chuji felt it, cold sweat ran down his back.

In front of ordinary martial artists, Qiu Chuji's mysterious methods were no different from those of an immortal. However, under this huge star energy, Qiu Chuji's methods seemed so weak.

He couldn't imagine what kind of means were behind this huge and almost endless energy, driving and facilitating all this to happen.

boom!
The series of explosions kept echoing in Qiu Chuji's mind.

Amid the buzzing sound, Qiu Chuji felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and the head was spinning.

When he came to his senses again, he was already stunned.

Because the true Qi in his body and the primordial spirit in his spiritual altar seemed to be blocked by invisible "cement", locked tightly in his body and unable to exert any effect at all.

The entire world seemed to be under a ban that would not allow extraordinary powers to manifest themselves here without support.

At this time, Qiu Chuji looked like an ordinary old man with a strong body.

Looking around again...it was still near Mount Emei, but the cableways connecting in the air and those buildings that looked ancient but were actually all modern in style, all made Qiu Chuji have some guesses about the current situation.

"I wear it?"

"And I've returned to the modern society?" Qiu Chuji gathered the sleeves of his Taoist robe, wondering whether he should borrow a young man's cell phone to see if he had returned to the modern world in his memory, or if he had simply traveled to a similar parallel world.

There were still many tourists in Mount Emei, so Qiu Chuji quickly targeted a college student with clear eyes.

Walking up to the college student, Qiu Chuji smiled elegantly and said, "Young man, I have been in seclusion in the mountains for a long time and have forgotten the time. Can I borrow your cell phone to check what time it is?"

The young male college student was shooting a short video with his mobile phone. After hearing Qiu Chuji's words, he hesitated for a few seconds, but still handed over the phone.

After all, these days, it's rare to hear about people stealing or robbing cell phones. Besides, his phone wasn't expensive, a basic model costing more than a thousand yuan, and he had used it for two years. It wouldn't make much money if it was taken away.

Qiu Chuji took the phone with a smile and looked at the time first. The time was July 25, 2027 in the Western calendar. It was now 12:05 Beijing time.

The time is different from the time when Qiu Chuji traveled through time to his other identity. Qiu Chuji still remembers his other identity, which was in 2024 before he traveled through time.

I casually opened a certain audio app, intending to check a couple of major events to further confirm whether this world was consistent with the world in my memory.

When the male college student saw Qiu Chuji opening a certain audio software, he became anxious!

Big data is good, but sometimes it’s not so good.

It would be great if you could understand not to push those short videos of young ladies dancing with their thighs exposed when there are outsiders, wives, or parents around.

"Hey! Master Taoist! You can't look at this!" The male college student pulled Qiu Chuji's sleeves with his hands, looking anxious.

"Don't worry, I won't look blindly. I won't look at your collections and search history. When I'm done with my work, I'll calculate your love luck. If your luck is not so good, I'll change your fate and let you date at least three people in your four years of college!" Qiu Chuji knew very well how to handle young people like this.

Although everyone says they are not feudal or superstitious.

But if it involves love and wealth, you have to try it out first.

What if?
Sure enough, the male college student hesitated for a while, then silently let go of his hand, his eyes still fixed on Qiu Chuji. As long as there was any possibility of intrusion into his privacy, he would immediately take the phone back.

Qiu Chuji randomly entered a few keywords, then looked through some bloggers' explanation videos, his brows furrowed more and more.

There's something wrong with this world!
Nine times out of ten of the major events that have occurred recently...something is wrong!
This is definitely not the modern world in Qiu Chuji's memory, but rather a similar parallel world.

Civilization, country, culture, entertainment, celebrities... many of them are seemingly true and vaguely overlapping, but this is not the point. The point is... many of the disturbances in this world seem to have some irrational and unscientific elements behind them.

If this is a world that does not allow the extraordinary to appear, then these anomalies would be difficult to explain.

But if this is a world with supernatural powers, then Qiu Chuji's current abilities are sealed. If they are not specifically targeted, then it is the rules of the world itself that are binding and restricting him, and it only allows certain specific supernatural laws to operate here.

"Why do I have the feeling that the real show has just begun?" Qiu Chuji smiled faintly and returned the phone to the eagerly waiting young man.

After taking back the phone, the male college student said to Qiu Chuji hesitantly, "Master...Master! We promised to improve your luck in love life."

Qiu Chuji took a closer look at the young man, until the pimples on his nose were about to burst. Then he said, "I'll teach you a breathing formula. You practice it three times every morning, noon and evening. You will see results in two months!"

The young man looked at Qiu Chuji in astonishment: "Master! Aren't you going to tell my fortune or cast a seal or something?"

Qiu Chuji: "That's all lies! Let's talk about science. If a man wants to have a lot of luck in love, he must either be handsome, have a sweet mouth and be able to coax people, or have money."

"You don't have much hope for the last two for now. The only chance is if they grow up to be more handsome."

"If you study my breathing method diligently, it can effectively improve your skin condition and the problem of oily hair. You should also pay attention to personal hygiene, keep yourself clean, and don't set your sights too high. It's still easy to find a few girlfriends in college."

"Ah! This..." The male college student listened to the breathing formula taught by Qiu Chuji with a confused look on his face, and then watched him go away. After a long while, he regretted and said, "Tuo! I forgot to record it, and I forgot half of the breathing formula..."

Qiu Chuji, who left the square at the foot of Mount Emei, was not in a relaxed mood at this moment.

In modern society, we cannot do anything without an ID card and a mobile phone, but he has neither of them.

This made him feel a little bit unable to move forward.

"Besides, we have to find Yang Guo."

"To solve this game, we still have to start with Yang Guo."

"New world, new atmosphere, new values. It cannot be said that the previous training was useless, but most of it must have been in vain." Qiu Chuji rubbed his eyebrows and felt a trace of depression rising. He took two deep breaths and suppressed the depression.

Seven or eight hours passed in a flash and it was already completely dark.

Qiu Chuji was standing on the side of the road, holding a bottle of beer and two roasted corn cobs in his hands, eating them quite happily.

In modern society, with abundant supplies, he will never go hungry wherever he goes, just by wearing a Taoist robe and having a full head and face of white beard.

At night, the mountain roads near Mount Emei were not as lively as they were during the day. There were some passing vehicles, and occasionally a car would stop and ask Qiu Chuji, who was standing on the side of the road, if he needed anything or if he needed help. Qiu Chuji would always shake his head to indicate that he didn't need any.

It was not until a red sports car approached from afar, flashing its lights rapidly and drifting over from a distance that Qiu Chuji stood in the middle of the road and stopped the sports car.

Crunch!

The sound of the tires rubbing against the ground was a bit harsh, and the angry hum of the engine slowly stopped.

The young man in the car rushed out with an impatient look on his face, and was about to swear something, but when he saw Qiu Chuji's Taoist robe and white hair, he immediately restrained the arrogance on his face.

"Hey! Mr. Taoist! What advice do you have for me?" The young man waved to the girl sitting in the passenger seat, while his other hand was already touching his cell phone, intending to spend money to ward off disaster.

Of course, the girl sitting in the passenger seat was also very smart and had quietly turned on the camera.

Once this "old Taoist priest" becomes too greedy, he will be exposed on the Internet.

"I don't want money!" Qiu Chuji waved his hand and said.

The young man expressed a slight change and said he didn’t want money...so what did he want?
For him, any problem that doesn’t require money is basically a big problem.

"Seeing that your family is well-off, you should have some connections and relationships."

"The old Taoist priest just came down the mountain and has lost his identity. I want to use your connections to register for an ID card," said Qiu Chuji.

Applying for an ID card is easy.

For example, you can take your household registration booklet or ask someone from the local street office to provide a certificate and then go to the public security office to apply for an ID card without having to use any connections.

But the problem was that Qiu Chuji was an illegal resident. He had neither a household registration book nor the right person to prove his identity, so it was difficult for him to get an ID card.

The young man was stunned and looked Qiu Chuji up and down. He suspected that Qiu Chuji was a spy and also suspected that he was a fugitive who had been hiding for many years and wanted to clean up his past and return to society.

"You help me with something and I save your life. It's fair and reasonable, right?" Qiu Chuji asked the young man.

"help me?"

"How to save? You won't kill me, so let's just save my life!" The young man seemed to be joking, but in fact he had already touched the car door, then quickly sat in it, locked the door, raised the window, and then started the engine, ready to run away at any time.

It's not easy to become a rich second-generation, but if you are targeted by criminals at such a young age, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
