Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 312 Just Catch Two Little Snakes
Ao Bing learned boxing very quickly. In just a short while, he mastered the changes between techniques and strength, and was able to use the Hundred Flowers Fist quite well.

With the help of this special boxing technique, although he still couldn't exert his full strength when Nezha was awake, his movements were no longer as chaotic as before, let alone fighting.

Qiu Chuji practiced with him for a while, and after feeling Ao Bing's ice magic power in his body, he stopped the fight.

After Ao Bing went to "rest", he switched to Nezha to fight with Qiu Chuji, repeatedly forging with fire and ice. Although it did not raise Qiu Chuji's energy limit, it made his foundation more solid. The water and fire true qi in his body were much more condensed and powerful than before.

After all, they couldn't spend too much time on the road. After the communication was over, the three of them... or rather the four of them passed through layers of mountains, as if they had crossed layers of world barriers, and arrived at Kunlun Mountain.

In other worlds, Qiu Chuji also briefly traveled to many famous mountains and rivers, including Kunlun Mountain.

But the Kunlun Mountain in this world is not a simple natural mountain range, but a sacred place for immortals, which is more in line with the description in myths and legends. For example, it is said in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: Western Classic of the Sea: "The Kunlun Void is eight hundred miles square and ten thousand feet high. There is a wooden grass on top, five feet long and five feet wide. There are nine wells on the front, with jade fences. There are nine gates on the front, and enlightened beasts guard the gates."

Kunlun stands on the top of the mountain, stepping on the sea of ​​clouds. Its numerous palaces are paved with gold and jade. Infinite precious light and myriad auspicious colors illuminate the sky, which is brighter than the sun. Exotic flowers and plants, cranes and auspicious beasts run around in it, passing through the wind and clouds, looking very comfortable.

Being in the middle of it, before he even crossed the heavy gatehouses and jade steps, Qiu Chuji could already feel the majestic and light energy coming towards him. Just a simple breath made his skills, which were currently difficult to increase, improve a little.

The two feelings of heaviness and lightness were presented in his spiritual senses in a complex and clear manner, even giving Qiu Chuji the urge to open up his own little world and absorb it all.

Then he resisted the urge.

Just because of the divine light shining in the distance, the heroic, dignified, and heroic real man Lu Tong is leading a large monster-hunting team back from outside the domain. In the pavilions on both sides, a large number of Kunlun Mountain disciples are cheering and shouting, welcoming the triumphant return of the real man Lu Tong.

Looking at the at least one hundred thousand disciples of the Chan sect in Kunlun Mountain, Qiu Chuji could not help but sigh, this is indeed a mythological world, the water is deep and the upper limit is high.

Any one of these Kunlun Mountain disciples would be enough to defeat him who had just come out of the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Although Qiu Chuji has achieved some success in his soul and obtained a lotus body, his upper limit has been raised a lot, but he may not be able to rank among the 100,000 Kunlun disciples.

Taiyi Zhenren was a direct disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, and had basically been designated as one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan School. Therefore, when he arrived, all the palace gates in the entire Kunlun Mountains were opened one by one to express their welcome.

He Tong led the group into the main hall, where a banquet had already been set up.

Everyone sat down and after a few small talk, they got down to business and started talking about the matter of becoming an immortal.

"Since your nephew is the reincarnation of the spirit pearl that your master entrusted to you, your ascension test should not be neglected."

"I will personally set three test questions for him, and Lu Tonger will accompany him to help. After completing the three tests, my nephew will be able to ascend to immortality and be ranked among the immortals in my Chan sect. He will then be able to choose a treasure from the Yuxu treasury as a reward for his ascension." Immortal Wuliang stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Taiyi Zhenren immediately responded and said a bunch of nice things, while his eyes were darting around, fearing that little Nezha would reveal a flaw and leak out his evil spirit.

Wuliang Xianweng turned his head and looked at Qiu Chuji. He had some doubts about Qiu Chuji's identity. Just as he was about to ask, his eyes flashed for a moment, and then he said, "Junior brother, since you are the new disciple accepted by Master, you should have ascended to the immortal path directly without taking any assessments. But... Senior brother, I have a small matter that needs to be handled in the Middle Thousand Worlds of the Lower Realm. Although it is not difficult, it is somewhat troublesome. Can you please help me make the trip?"

When Qiu Chuji saw that Wuliang Immortal did not question his identity, he knew that it was the real Nanji Immortal who intervened, and the person who was talking to him at this moment might not be Wuliang Immortal.

He stood up and clasped his fists respectfully: "Junior brother, how dare you disobey my order?"

Wuliang Xianweng laughed and said, "Some time ago, two little snakes sneaked into Kunlun and stole a magical herb halfway up the mountain. It was not a big deal, but it made my two crane boys who were guarding the spiritual garden look very embarrassed."

"Now that they have fled back to the lower world, I was going to randomly select a Kunlun disciple to go to the lower world to find them and capture them, but now I have to hand this task over to you, Junior Brother!"

"When you bring these two little snakes back to Kunlun Mountain for trial, your ascension to immortality will be complete!"

"Since you are my junior fellow apprentice, you should be treated with some special privileges. I will allow you to choose three treasures from the treasury."

When Qiu Chuji heard this, there was no change on his face, but he was extremely surprised. Some thoughts that had been churning in his mind for a long time came to his mind at this moment.

Two snakes, stealing magic herbs?
Isn’t this White Snake and Xiaoqing?
The story of the Legend of the White Snake is widely circulated and is a model of classical mythology in Chinese civilization.

There have been many versions of the interpretation throughout history, and when projected to the heavens, it has given rise to extremely diverse world structures.

Looking from a higher perspective, Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and even Xu Xian and Fahai are far more qualified than many immortal gods with great reputations to reach the other side and attain enlightenment at some point in time.

Because they are born with the conditions for "flowers to bloom in three thousand worlds", what they lack is the step of sublimation of all selves and final return to oneness.

Let go of your endless associations.

Putting aside the touching love story in the story, from a conspiracy theory perspective, this is also a typical story of worshipping Buddhism and suppressing Taoism.

Although Fahai plays a role that is almost a villain in the film, there is nothing wrong with his stance. Moreover, the whole story is full of concepts such as fate, cause and effect, and reincarnation, which are in line with Buddhist theories.

In this story, the Taoists are the ones who are truly dishonorable and dishonorable.

"Big Brother, in this world with Nezha as the protagonist and against the backdrop of Conferred Gods, you have assigned me such a task alone. Doesn't this mean that I need to do more?" Qiu Chuji couldn't help but think so.

Long before, the Immortal of the South Pole said that even the worlds in the heavens and myriad worlds are extremely similar, they cannot be exactly the same.

He began to have a connection with the Immortal of the South Pole because of that bit of evil nature, which fueled Nezha's arrogance and allowed him to stab the Immortal of the Infinite to death with a single shot, thus changing the direction of the world.

The world where Qiu Chuji lives today, although the plot outline is still similar, it cannot be said to be exactly the same world. In this world, the appearance of "The Legend of White Snake" is not surprising.

Qiu Chuji even suspected that the Immortal of the South Pole made dumplings just for this little jealousy.

Nezha’s worldview is just a cover.

The purpose was to wrap up the White Snake story and let him, a Quanzhen Taoist who advocated the unity of the three religions, break in and do the thing of replacing the dead with the dead.

It doesn’t matter whether you catch the white snake or not, and it doesn’t matter whether there is a white snake or not.

It is important to whom the story of Legend of the White Snake ultimately belongs.

Thinking of this, Qiu Chuji was not at all panicked. Instead, he felt a sense of heroic spirit.

He felt that he had understood all the arrangements and knew the real purpose of his coming to this world.

Next comes the specific operational issues.

"Change, is there still control?" Qiu Chuji's mind couldn't help but emerge every word that the Immortal of the South Pole had said to him and every thing that had guided him to do so far.

As expected, for a powerful person like the Immortal of the South Pole, it is impossible for anything he says to be aimless and anything he does to be purposeless.

The Immortal of the South Pole said that he only saw constants, and only people at Qiu Chuji's level would have variables.

Now, as a mutant, he will be sneaked into the story of the Legend of the White Snake.

As to whether there is a deeper meaning behind this, Qiu Chuji does not know yet.

"Why would you send him so far?"

"Since it's a simple task, why don't you arrange someone else to go, and let Junior Brother Qiu accompany me and Nezha to take the test?" Taiyi Zhenren said, not knowing the hidden story behind it.

Wuliang Xianweng smiled and said, "Is it far? Not really!"

"Junior brother, a year away is only equivalent to a day here. When you come back, you can catch up with Nezha's ascension to heaven."

When Qiu Chuji heard this, his heart moved again and he subconsciously interpreted it.

If the person who said this was really just Immortal Wuliang, Qiu Chuji would not think too much about it, but if it was Immortal Nanji who said this, he had to think more about it.

"Even if the upper limit of this world is very high, the time ratio between the middle thousand worlds under its jurisdiction and the upper world is so large, there must be something fishy."

"He is reminding me that I must complete the mission and rush back before Nezha reaches Naohai."

"Is it because, without the cover-up of Nezha's matter, what I'm going to do will be exposed?"

"Why, Senior Brother, do you care so much about the specific arrangement of a story in the Legend of the White Snake in a mere Middle Thousand Worlds?"

As his thoughts turned, a vague possibility slowly took shape in Qiu Chuji's mind.

The story within the world is not important, so what about the specific existence above the world?

"Could it be that a certain specific existence in the White Snake story has reached the eve of uniting all realms and setting foot on the Daluo?" When Qiu Chuji thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but straighten his back and felt a little cold.

However, even if this was possible, Qiu Chuji still could not refuse the task.

To accept the supreme opportunity brought by the Yuxu Bell, one must bear the corresponding risks.

The two are mutually reinforcing.

If he refused this destined arrangement, then even if he was not punished, the Yuxu Bell would definitely leave him.

Without the Yuxu Bell, even the current Qiu Chuji is just an ordinary practitioner who is slightly more powerful!
