I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 8 Whose cousin are you too?

Ma Yu was a kind and modest person to begin with, and seeing Yang Guo's insistent look, he thought it was no big deal, so he agreed immediately.

Zhao Zhijing saw that Yang Guo rashly objected, although he was young and impulsive and did not do it on purpose, he could not avoid the suspicion of offending his teacher.

Just when he was about to say a few words of persuasion, he saw that the head teacher had already nodded in agreement, so he immediately changed his mind and scolded: "You kid, you are a little ignorant. You even dare to refute the Taoist name bestowed by the head teacher!"

Now it was Ma Yu who smiled and advised: "It's okay, it's okay. Guo'er is a very talented child. If you teach him well, he will become a great man in the future."

At this time, Zhao Zhijing turned his head away, and Ma Yu could not see his expression. Although he spoke sternly, his eyes told Yang Guo to quickly kowtow and thank his master.

If Wang Chuyi or Qiu Chuji were present, they would most likely not allow Yang Guo to give himself a Taoist name out of consideration for seniority.

Especially when the head master has already bestowed the Taoist name on you.

This was the first time that Zhao Zhijing had scolded Yang Guo since he recovered. However, Yang Guo did not feel aggrieved when he saw him winking at Yang Guo behind his master's back. Instead, he felt amused and warm.

“Thank you, Master. I was reckless. Please forgive me.” Yang Guo saw the opportunity quickly and kowtowed to the ground again.

"It's okay, it's okay, get up."

The small disturbance passed just like that. Ma Yu casually asked some trivial questions and then asked Yang Guo to go back first, as he still had something to tell Zhao Zhijing.

After Yang Guo left, Ma Yu put away his kind smile, sighed slightly, and explained why he wanted to leave Zhao Zhijing alone.

Ma Yu first talked about the Ancient Tomb Sect, which was adjacent to the Quanzhen Sect and located at the foot of Mount Zhongnan. It was founded by a female predecessor who had a close relationship with the founder of Chongyang. Most of the third-generation disciples like Zhao Zhijing knew about this.

That female senior roamed the world like a hero, but her whereabouts were secretive, so very few people had seen her true face. Apart from Master Chongyang, I'm afraid no one in this world knew her real name.

However, Master Chongyang never told anyone about this, so even close disciples like Ma Yu and Qiu Chuji didn't know who this female senior was.

Although this female senior founded the Ancient Tomb Sect, she did not accept any disciples and usually only had a maid with her. This maid had no involvement in the underworld, so no one knew her background either.

At this point, Ma Yu seemed to think of his late teacher. He paused for a moment before speaking again.

"After this female senior passed away, the maidservant beside her accepted two disciples. The eldest disciple was the reason why your master and his men came down the mountain."

Zhao Zhijing had seen these plots in novels, but he did not remember them all. When he listened to Ma Yu's narration, he could not help but feel an unreal feeling as if all the characters in the book had come to life.

"Master Master, could this Ancient Tomb Sect's chief disciple be the Red Snake Fairy Li Mochou?"

"Exactly."

Ma Yu nodded and said, "Li Mochou is a very skilled martial artist and ruthless. After he came out of seclusion, he caused chaos in the martial arts world."

"Jing'er has been lingering on the mountain for the past few days and has mentioned her, saying that she is even worse than the iron corpse Mei Chaofeng who caused chaos in the martial arts world back then."

"Even Master Yideng's disciple Wu Santong is no match for her."

When talking about Wu San Tong, Zhao Zhijing's first reaction is his special feelings for his adopted daughter He Yuanjun.

He is more free and insightful than us Taoists.

Are you someone's cousin too?

Ma Yu naturally didn't know that Zhao Zhijing's mind had already flown away to the clouds at this time, and continued: "There are complicated things going on here, so we don't need to go into details. Let's just talk about what happened a few days ago when Dalba and Huodu broke into Chongyang Palace."

"Your uncle Qiu once found out that Li Mochou did not learn all the unique skills of the Ancient Tomb School. So after her master died, she took the opportunity to return to the ancient tomb to look for any relics such as secret manuals."

“As it turned out, her master had a backup plan and left a trap in the ancient tomb. Li Mochou was poisoned. If it weren’t for her junior sister Xiaolongnu’s rescue, she would have died on the spot.” If Zhao Zhijing hadn’t been hit by two Jade Bee Needles from the Ancient Tomb Sect, he probably wouldn’t have been able to travel through time. So now Cheng Qi feels that he has some say in this matter.

"Yes, Master Master, I was hit by those two Jade Bee Needles. It was painful and itchy, as if the pain had seeped into my bones. I wanted to chop off my poisoned hands and feet."

Ma Yu shook his head, obviously thinking that this method was too vicious, but because of his relationship with his late master, Master Chongyang, he couldn't say much.

"Although Li Mochou was defeated, he would not give up easily, so he spread the word in the martial arts world."

"It is said that she has a junior sister named Xiao Long Nu, who is in an ancient tomb at the foot of Mount Zhongnan. She is much more beautiful than her."

"Nowadays, if you win the martial arts competition to marry Xiao Long Nu, not only will Xiao Long Nu marry you, but you will also get all the rare treasures and martial arts manuals in the ancient tomb as your dowry."

Zhao Zhijing pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, "Ah!"

Ma Yu smiled helplessly, "There are many evil people in the martial arts world who are fascinated by Li Mochou. Her nickname contains the word "fairy", which is evident from her appearance."

"Now she is spreading the word that her junior sister is much more beautiful than hers, and that she is holding an open martial arts competition to find a husband. Who among those who do good things would not want to try their hand at it?"

"When your master and your uncle Qiu heard the news, they naturally couldn't just sit there and do nothing. So they summoned the best fighters from all over the place, which led to the events that followed."

From the memories of his previous life, Zhao Zhijing knew that Dalba and Huo Du, along with a group of gangsters, had broken into the Quanzhen Sect and not only severely injured Hao Datong, one of the Seven Sons of Quanzhen, but also set a fire.

At this time, seeing Ma Yu, who had been preparing for the event for a long time, finally turn his gaze to him, Zhao Zhijing knew that what he was going to say next was the serious matter.

"The Big Dipper formation you presided over was broken by Guo Jing that day, and your master and uncle's Big Dipper formation and I didn't gain much advantage."

"Although this is due to the lack of power of the young disciples, but in the martial arts world, why would the enemies care about you?"

After the death of Tan Chuduan, the Seven Quanzhen disciples were missing a member and could no longer use the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation passed down by their Grandmaster Chongyang, so they could only select one person from the three generations of disciples to fill the gap.

The first one was Zhao Zhijing, who had the highest martial arts skills among the three generations of disciples. Later, for various reasons, it became Zhen Zhibing.

Zhao Zhijing took charge of the "Big Dipper Formation", which was upgraded to consist of ninety-eight people after being specially researched by the Seven Quanzhen disciples.

"Your master and uncle and I are all old after all. The future of Quanzhen Sect still depends on you and Zhibing."

"Now your uncle Hao is still recovering from his injuries, and the others have gone down the mountain to do things, so the formation practice still has to fall on you, Zhijing."

The reason why Ma Yu acted in this way was actually out of helplessness.

Although the Quanzhen Sect has a large number of members, there is not a single top-notch expert among its disciples. Only with the help of the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation can they deal with the experts from various sects in the martial arts world.

But recently, things have become more serious than the last.

Huodu from Mongolia looked to be only about thirty years old, but he was able to seriously injure Hao Datong.

Neither Liu Chuxuan nor Sun Buer could defeat the 30-year-old Li Mochou.

Looking at those evil spirits who invaded Chongyang Palace, each of them was a skilled fighter. Although the Quanzhen Sect had made a great reputation in the martial arts world over the years, once it showed weakness, it would inevitably suffer crazy revenge from its enemies.

This also forced Ma Yu, who was not very interested in the affairs of the martial arts world, to stand in the perspective of the leader of Quanzhen Sect and think carefully about how to ensure the smooth inheritance of Quanzhen Sect.

It just so happened that Zhao Zhijing had been getting up early and going to bed late these days, teaching his disciples wholeheartedly, and Ma Yu had seen all of this, thinking that Zhao Zhijing had the same idea as him.

Only then did he make up his mind to entrust him with an important task.
