Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Chapter 161 Qiu Chuji, the First Master of the Quanzhen School!

66

Inside the yurt, Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi, the two fellow disciples, sat there, each savoring their rather unpalatable milk tea, and occasionally glancing at Guo Jing, who was on the verge of becoming withdrawn.

After Möngke openly announced that he would preside over the wedding of his aunt and Uncle Guo as the Great Khan, Guo Jing, even though he had been mentally prepared, was still somewhat numb at this moment.

Qiu Chuji didn't seem to care too much about Guo Jing's internal strife.

On the contrary, Wang Chuyi wanted to say something, but Qiu Chuji stopped him.

After all, once he personally agreed, this was the only path Guo Jing could take.

Becoming a true hero who can save the world is not so easy. No matter how rugged the road ahead is, you have to grit your teeth and persevere.

Moreover, Changchun Zhenren believed that he was no better than Guo Jing.

Qiu Chuji could almost imagine what his reputation would be like from then on.

It would probably be something like "the most intelligent person in the world" or "a master strategist with no flaws".

This kind of pot is safe for Dao Ye.

That's something others dared to say, and Qiu Chuji dared to admit it.

We can't really let a teenager take the blame for this, can we?

The Dark Sect of Quanzhen had gone to great lengths to create this situation, and instead of helping, the elders were hindering it? What kind of sect is Quanzhen then?

Even the Taoist priest has a sense of shame.

They can be shameless for the sake of the Quanzhen Sect.

Moreover, Zhao Zhijing's collusion with the Mongol prince Huodu in the rebellion can also serve as supporting evidence.

Especially since Huo Du severed the arm of the Golden Wheel Monk before his death, forcing the Red Sect of Esoteric Buddhism to exit the political arena, this is inextricably linked to the Quanzhen School.

"Senior brother!"

After taking a few sips of his milk tea, Wang Chuyi suddenly asked, "Junior brother wants to ask—did senior brother say anything to him back then?"

he?

Qiu Chuji was taken aback, but then realized who this "him" that his junior brother Wang Chuyi was referring to was none other than the failed rebel Zhao Zhijing.

What else is meant by "what I said to him"?

However, Qiu Chuji quickly realized that his junior brother Wang Chuyi had also gotten involved. Qiu Chuji narrowed his eyes in annoyance and said, "Junior brother, what do you think?"

"I see!"

"It seems I, junior brother, am indeed no match for my senior brother!"

Upon seeing his senior brother Qiu Chuji's expression, Wang Chuyi immediately realized that his guess was correct and said, "Junior brother can't see that far."

In the Quanzhen School, Wang Chuyi once had a huge disagreement with Qiu Chuji on the development and direction of their sect, and his influence ranked third.

The first two are the sect leader Ma Yu and his senior brother Qiu Chuji.

As a result, the betrayal of his disciple Zhao Zhijing directly suppressed Wang Chuyi's influence within the sect to the bottom, even falling behind Taiguzi Hao Datong and Qingjing Sanren Sun Bu'er.

But deep down, Wang Chuyi was still unconvinced.

The change occurred the moment when the rebellious disciple Yue Que returned as the Dark One of Quanzhen Sect—it was alright at first, but the subsequent changes completely exceeded Wang Chuyi's expectations.

Zhao Zhijing, who was also a rebel, failed and was forced to commit suicide by the darkness of Quanzhen. Only today did Wang Chuyi belatedly realize what had happened.

Wang Chuyi already understood that even if his disciple Zhao Zhijing was abandoned after his failure and was forced to commit suicide, it was merely his senior brother using Yue Que to save face for his junior brother.

Was this all prepared for today?

Failure has its purpose, and success has its effect.

It truly doesn't waste a single bit.

With the promise of the new "Great Khan" Möngke, the Quanzhen School returned to the upper echelons of Mongolia. Although his senior brother Qiu Chuji did not explicitly appoint him as the national preceptor, Wang Chuyi could clearly see that his senior brother had replaced the Golden Wheel Monk in the ecological niche.

What a fine Senior Brother Qiu!

Is this also part of your scheme?

He was convinced.

"???"

Master Changchun looked at his junior brother, who had always disagreed with him, and thought to himself, "Wang Chuyi, what exactly are you thinking?"

Don't you dare think such nonsense.

Don't you dare try to pin all the blame on your senior brother!

You are all the Dark Ones of Truth, aren't you?

From the sect leader Ma Yu to the disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, everyone felt that the Changchun Zhenren Qiu Chuji was wise and shrewd.

"snort!"

Qiu Chuji gave a light snort, his expression as arrogant as ever, especially the way he lowered his eyes, which seemed to be disdainful and indifferent.

Seeing that his senior brother did not refute him, but instead looked like this, Wang Chuyi felt that he had not guessed wrong.

Do not!

That's far from enough.

Perhaps this is just part of the plan.

Wang Chuyi felt that his senior brother's plan had been largely accomplished after meeting Genghis Khan, but unfortunately Genghis Khan died, and Guo Jing, the Golden Knife Prince Consort, returned to the Song Dynasty with Huang Rong.

In that situation, the plan would suffer a major setback, so Senior Brother Qiu Chuji would have to change the plan.

Everything that Guo Jing, the Golden Knife Prince Consort, has experienced in the Southern Song Dynasty is nothing more than a trial.

It forges a pure, heroic, and righteous heart, and a heart devoted to the well-being of all living beings.

Then, find someone to deliver a fatal blow to the female strategist Huang Rong, forcing her to make a choice. Instead of letting Guo Jing torment himself, let his sense of justice drive him.

Yue Que is only so young; he couldn't possibly be that bad.

He sent the golden boy to the ancient tomb to suppress the demoness, thus turning the ancient tomb into his own domain.

Everything was going according to my senior's plan.

Thinking of this, Wang Chuyi recalled Yang Kang, the eldest disciple of his senior brother Qiu Chuji, who had once lived away from home.

As a member of the Quanzhen Sect, Wang Chuyi knew very well what kind of person the Great Jin Dynasty was, but Yang Kang, as his senior brother's disciple, didn't seem to care much.

Why is that?

If you say you don't care, then your senior brother's disciple, Yin Zhiping, is actually developing extensively in the Jin Kingdom.

Instead, his senior brother kept forcing the righteous Seven Heroes of Jiangnan to take Guo Jing, who had always grown up in the desert, to come and help him.

Did my senior brother see the potential of each party back then?

Si Wang Chuyi couldn't help but gasp. At that moment, he felt that the person sitting next to him was not his senior brother, but the all-knowing Prime Minister Zhuge Liang.

Yu Yangzi Wang Chuyi became increasingly confused as he thought about it, and his gaze towards Guo Jing was filled with a hint of pity.

Perhaps all of this began the moment my senior brother stepped into Niujia Village.

The saying "grass ash foreshadows a trail, a snake travels a thousand miles" perfectly describes this.

So what will happen next?

Director Wang began to analyze the situation seriously.

Qiu Chuji was unaware that his junior brother Wang Chuyi's wild thoughts had led him to attach many inexplicable labels to him.

After all, in the eyes of others who know him well, the current state of the world is largely due to Qiu Chuji.

His admission of the Golden Boy and Jade Girl relationship and his return of Guo Jing to the position of Golden Sword Prince Consort have greatly changed his image in the eyes of others.

Master Changchun is currently pondering what to do now that the Quanzhen Sect has replaced the Golden Wheel Monk's ecological niche. Surely, there are people who will not give up.

After all, he has not yet become the national advisor; he has only restored the Quanzhen Sect to the status it held during Genghis Khan's time.

Qiu Chuji felt that someone might come along to represent the Esoteric Buddhist sect and seek out the Quanzhen sect to discuss scriptures.

Since Tantric Buddhism has, in a sense, returned the fruits it once took from Quanzhen Taoism, how could it possibly give up on them?

If there is no major war or armed conflict, then we can only discuss scriptures and debate doctrines.

He felt that he should let his disciples, including Yin Zhiping, know about this and familiarize themselves with the scriptures that are common to both Buddhism and Taoism.

As the foremost sage of the Quanzhen School, Qiu Chuji, the Changchun Master, truly lived up to his name.

Guo Jing took a deep breath and came back to his senses. Looking at Qiu Chuji, who was deep in thought, he suddenly began to doubt whether Rong'er was right or wrong.

Did that kind of scheme, which uses emotions to control people, really come from that golden boy?

If Guo Jing hadn't known that the Golden Boy and Jade Girl were prepared by the Quanzhen Sect, he wouldn't have thought this way, but now he's starting to have doubts.

Who would be so bad from the start? And do bad things, yet from a broader perspective, things turn out for the better?

Unlike Huang Rong, who believed that human nature is inherently evil, Guo Jing always believed that human nature is inherently good.

This difference in their underlying logic was evident from their attitudes when they first met Yang Guo.

After suppressing the thought, Guo Jing began to think about how to prepare for the upcoming war.

He needed to discuss this war with Hua Zheng.

at the same time.

Inside Kublai Khan's yurt.

Once it was confirmed that his elder brother would become the new Great Khan, it signified a temporary victory for the Tolui faction.

However, the fruits of this great victory ultimately fell into the hands of his elder brother Möngke. Although Kublai Khan was also very happy, he did not seem as happy as he had imagined.

"Little Teacher————"

"this!"

Kublai Khan looked at the young monk Phagpa, pondered for a long time, and then said with a wry smile, "I don't think I'm that happy."

"That's normal."

Phagpa was not surprised. After becoming Kublai Khan's teacher, he personally devised a plan for him: "Build walls and store grain."

"This is our next plan."

Although Kublai Khan was the second son of Tolui, he was not the second most popular supporter.

Phagpa, representing the Flower Religion, chose Kublai Khan, wanting to go all in to support him and win the biggest hand if he succeeded.

"Ask your brother for money and provisions, and focus on developing our strength!"

Phagpa did not request troops. Instead, he urged Kublai Khan to raise the banner of brotherhood, saying, "Moreover, it will attract the attention of the Golden Knife Prince Consort even more."

Kublai Khan understood the meaning behind the words; he was being instructed to use the pretext of a major war to stage a fake battle and develop his power.

What kind of character did Guo Jing have? This is common knowledge.

Even when he went north this time, Guo Jing made his stance clear: he wanted to find a suitable route for the people of the world, just like in the past.

The person hasn't changed; in fact, they've become more genuine.

This actually reduced many people's suspicions. If they had firmly established their position from the outset, it would have only made people more suspicious and wary.

"As for the Quanzhen Sect, I will handle that!"

Phagpa thought of Qiu Chuji, the unparalleled master strategist of the Quanzhen School, and he wanted to confront him on behalf of the Tantric School.

The key to winning this round is Jin Tong Yue Que.

The young monk had considered debating scriptures and engaging in literary debates, but his current reincarnated body was actually a weakness, making him vulnerable to attacks based on ethical considerations.

After some thought, he decided to start with Jin Tong.

After discussing it with Kublai Khan, the two decided to send someone to formally discuss cooperation with Jin Tong, since Phagpa was afraid that he would fight with the Ancient Tomb Demoness again after going there.

Some things can only be said by separating the golden boy from the demoness.

Even if it's a rumor, you can't do it in person.

Kublai Khan made his choice among his four most capable men: Xiao Xiangzi was too greedy, Yin Kexi was too calculating, and Ma Guangzuo was too honest.

Finally, the cunning Indian expert, Nemo Xing, became the representative.

Then they went to find Jin Tong to start a collaboration.
