Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 49: The wooden sword is to protect you
"You're going to use this to challenge us?" Sima Sheng, the horse leader of the White Horse League, was a short, fat man with dark skin. However, he did not have the kind of friendliness that most fat men would have. His fleshy face looked particularly ferocious, with a calm and intimidating aura.

Looking at the wooden sword that Qiu Chuji raised, he showed a disdainful expression.

He cooperated with the Jin people and actually knew some inside information about the Nine Yin Scriptures, but it didn't matter.

As long as the secret book is real, he must get it.

The Jin people had their eyes on the world, so they didn't care about a martial arts secret book, but he couldn't help but care because he was a man of the world.

For people in the martial arts world, fame, wealth, and connections are all about appearance, while one's own martial arts skills are the real thing.

The higher the position, the more they understand it. Those who cannot distinguish this point, even if they are pushed to a high position for a short period of time by the trend of a certain era, will soon fall down. The more glorious they were in the past, the more miserable they will be when they fall.

Although the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, fighting and killing is definitely the underlying tone.

Qiu Chuji simply responded to Sima Sheng's provocation: "I use a wooden sword not to protect myself, but to protect you."

"If what I hold in my hand is an iron sword, then none of you can take the secret book from me without getting hurt."

As soon as these words were spoken, the four people, including Hong Qi, showed indignation.

Only Huang Yaoshi knew that this was true.

The sword that Qiu Chuji shot at Ouyang Feng with the eight forces unleashed simultaneously still frightened him. He thought to himself that he had no ability to escape safely from such a sword.

"Arrogant!" Cao Xuanzhen, leader of the Dajiang Gang, had already chopped towards Qiu Chuji's wrist with a knife.

This knife move was the 'Chopping Waves' among the Eight Water-avoiding Knives inherited by the Dajiang Gang. From an intuitive point of view, it was just an ordinary chopping knife move. Even if the speed was faster and the force was stronger, it was still just that.

But the real core is the changes in internal energy used in this sword.

The knife came with great force, like a huge wave on the river, but what really brought danger was the hidden vortex force. In reality, anyone who clashed with its weapon would be unconsciously pulled by the force, shifting the position of the weapon in his hand and passively exposing an opening.

Qiu Chuji's eyes flashed with green light, and the wooden sword in his hand moved horizontally, then thrust straight forward.

The wooden sword was caught in the whirlpool, but it went straight to the dragon's core and hit the Shenmen acupoint on Cao Xuanzhen's wrist.

Cao Xuanzhen immediately felt a huge pain in his wrist, and the long sword in his hand, which was originally clenched tightly, fell to the ground unconsciously.

Bang!

The knife fell to the ground, and his face fell with it.

Qiu Chuji held the wooden sword horizontally. There was not a single scratch on the sword, and the secret book was still hanging on it, firmly in place.

Cao Xuanzhen's face turned blue, white, and red, as if he had suddenly opened a dye shop.

"Your Excellency's swordsmanship is excellent!"

"I, Cao, am ashamed of myself! Let's go down the mountain now!" After saying this, Cao Xuanzhen was unwilling to even pick up the precious sword that he had bought with a hundred taels of gold. He turned around and led his men down the mountain, disappearing at the top of Mount Hua.

In fact, Cao Xuan's martial arts are really good. In the martial arts world, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is first-rate.

But he happened to meet Qiu Chuji, who possessed the Emperor's Qi-Seeing Technique, which allowed him to see through flaws at a glance. He also had the Guiyuan Secret Book, which was almost the general outline of all common martial arts in the world and could see through the specific core of a martial art from the subtle details.

Under such conditions, as long as Qiu Chuji was a little bit smarter than him, he would be much smarter.

What's more, Qiu Chuji is more than just a little bit smarter than Cao Xuanzhen.
"Now... there are only four left!" Qiu Chuji pointed the wooden sword into the air and said to the remaining four people.

Shaolin Zhimu, White Horse League Sima Sheng, Dajiang Gang Cao Xuanzhen, these three were all running dogs of the Jin people. Qiu Chuji made up his mind from the beginning to eliminate them.

Only Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qi are left. If they are asked to identify the authenticity of the Nine Yin Scriptures, the matter of the Nine Yin Scriptures can be settled first and any further twists and turns can be avoided.

It goes without saying that Huang Yaoshi had already reached a tacit understanding with Qiu Chuji. Although Hong Qi was a disciple of the Beggars' Sect, he was from the Dirty Clothes Sect, which was different from the Clean Clothes Sect. He was also known as a chivalrous man, so even if he saw that the secret book was different from the rumors, he would choose to cooperate with Qiu Chuji tacitly to complete this step of the plan.

"Amitabha! Since we want to calm down the dispute in the martial arts world, we don't need to be polite to this Taoist brother!"

"Everyone, come together!" Shaolin Zhimu general besieged and seized the scriptures, saying it in a high-sounding manner.

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung the Zen stick in his hand and hit Qiu Chuji on the forehead, while pushing him towards Sima Sheng, obviously intending to attack him from both sides.

"The Demon Subduing Staff Technique! What a pity to give it to a thief monk like you!" When Qiu Chuji saw the powerful and majestic force of this staff technique, he knew that it was the Demon Subduing Staff Technique among the 72 Shaolin unique skills. There is another person in the martial arts world today who is famous for this staff technique, the future Flying Bat Ke Zhene's elder brother, Flying Dragon Ke Pixie.

The 72 Shaolin unique skills are just a saying, there are actually more than 72.

Secondly, unique skills are also divided into different levels. Some are secret and can only be practiced by the elders and true disciples of various academies and halls such as the Dharma Academy and the Arhat Hall, while some can be taught to lay disciples and even circulated in the martial arts world.

At this moment, Qiu Chuji, facing the sudden attack from the big monk and the sneak attack from Sima Sheng with the whip beside him, misstepped slightly and his figure immediately became erratic and blurred.

The Five Elements Mysterious Steps, a martial art in the Gui Yuan Secret Book, is best at deceiving the human eye.

The two people who were attacking from both sides didn't have time to see clearly before their weapons collided with each other.

The whip in Sima Sheng's hand was pulled by the monk Zhimu's Zen stick, and Sima Sheng was immediately pulled forward.

At this moment, Qiu Chuji leaped into the air, stepped on Sima Sheng's back, pushed him to the ground, and slid along the ground still covered with ice flakes. He swept the wooden sword in his hand and lightly deflected the monk's stick.

Sima Sheng was good at horse fighting and skilled in whip and stick techniques, but he had a huge flaw behind him. Qiu Chuji caught him in an instant and stepped on him, so he was of course humiliated.

However, Sima Sheng did not do what Cao Xuanzhen did, who immediately admitted defeat and left. Instead, he turned his hand and swung the whip to wrap Qiu Chuji's feet, while the monk hit him with a stick like a storm.

Qiu Chuji stomped his foot, causing Sima Sheng's internal organs to ache and spit out blood. The hand that was swinging the whip also lost its strength immediately.

Afterwards, Qiu Chuji used the Five Elements Mysterious Steps to withdraw, allowing the monk's merciless stick to fall on Sima Sheng's back.

Snapped!
Sima Sheng's spine was broken, and even when Monk Zhimu temporarily stopped his strength, he was unable to prevent him from being seriously injured again.

Just as Monk Zhimu drew his staff and stood up, preparing to tangle with Qiu Chuji again, he saw a wooden sword sweeping towards him, forcing him to fall backwards. Before he could pull back, Qiu Chuji grabbed hold of the staff and smashed it hard on Sima Sheng's injured back.

Pfft!

The Zen stick, which was a blunt instrument, actually smashed into Sima Sheng's body.

Sima Sheng spat out blood foam mixed with his internal organs, his eyes widened, and he was no longer able to struggle.

"Hey! Master! You killed someone!"

"You broke the precepts, why don't you go back to the mountains and kowtow to the Buddha and admit your mistake?"

Qiu Chuji's teasing voice suddenly came from above Monk Zhimu's head.

Then the secret book of the Nine Yin Scriptures flew towards the monk's face like a huge butterfly.

Monk Zhimu originally wanted to raise his staff to knock him down, but he suddenly thought of something and quickly retracted his strength, feeling suffocated.

The domineering Shaolin Qi was now somewhat confused and difficult to sustain.

"Get down the mountain!" The wooden sword hit the back of Monk Zhimu's head heavily, and the monk rolled down the steep mountain path not far away like a rolling ball.

Many monks from the Shaolin Temple immediately chased after him, shouting and yelling, fearing that he might roll off the cliff and fall into the abyss, where he would be smashed to pieces.
