Wudang

Chapter 21

Zhang Junbao knew that the master saw that he was a little uncomfortable facing Qi Zhicheng.

I really can't blame myself for this, he was facing the head teacher of Quanzhen sect, even if he called him senior brother, Zhang Junbao's heart was a little beating.

In the shadow of a famous tree, Qi Zhicheng's identity lies here.

Even Qi Zhicheng's senior brothers would probably be in awe when facing him, this is the power of a generation of masters.

And the master's words are to remind himself that even in the face of the head teacher of the Quanzhen Sect, he should not fall into the prestige of Huolong Daoist.

"Yes, disciple understands." Zhang Junbao replied.

With Master and Chunyang Sect as the backing, what do I have to worry about?
What can't the disciple in charge do by himself?
Who dares to disagree?

When the time comes to the Quanzhen Sect, he really has to show off the score of the teacher and his disciples. That's what the master means, and he knows it in his heart.

Wasn't he not used to Miao Dao calling him "Master Uncle" before?
But after a few days on the road, didn't I get used to it?

"Is there anything else?" Master Huolong knew that his disciple had many questions.

Zhang Junbao thought for a while, and asked with some uncertainty: "Master, brother in charge is over 60 this year, right? Why..."

"It doesn't look like it?" Huolong Daoist sighed after finishing speaking, "It does look a little older."

"Master, is it really just to show old age?" Zhang Junbao asked.

"What do you want to ask?" Daoist Huolong said.

"Using the exercises taught by Quanzhen, you won't age prematurely. Could it be that something went wrong with your practice?" Zhang Junbao expressed his speculation.

There are various aftermaths of qigong obsession, and shortened lifespan is one of the more common ones.

Huolong Daoist was silent.

Seeing that the master was silent for a while, Zhang Junbao thought to himself, is it really as he said?

"As the head teacher, how can there be problems in the process of practicing?" After a while, Huolong Daoist said, "He was injured and poisoned, which caused his lifespan to be greatly reduced, and he has become what he is now."

Zhang Junbao was very surprised, the one who was able to injure and poison the head teacher of Quanzhen Sect was definitely not an ordinary force.

When mentioning poison, a force immediately popped up in Zhang Junbao's mind.

"Si Snake Hall?" Zhang Junbao asked in a low voice.

The name of Si Snake Hall is related to snakes, and the guy in Chen Yao's mansion at that time used snakes as hidden weapons.

"Si Snake Temple is good at using poison, but their poison is not enough for Qi Zhicheng and Wei Shi to completely detoxify." Huolong Master shook his head.

Zhang Junbao was taken aback by these words, isn't it Si Snake Palace, and Qi Zhicheng's poison has not been completely resolved yet?
Even the master is helpless?
"Witch God Way." Daoist Huolong continued, "Compared to Si Snake Temple and Wu God Way, whether it is the use of poison or the powerful and weird poison, they are nothing."

Zhang Junbao asked in his heart: "Master, is Wu Shendao proficient in witchcraft?"

"That's right." Huolong Daoist nodded, "The voodoo is weird and vicious, and the voodoo they targeted Qi Zhicheng is one of the most powerful voodoo. Except for Wu Shendao, it is almost impossible to completely resolve it."

Zhang Junbao didn't expect it to be witchcraft.

Witches have a very mysterious color in history. In ancient times, great witches were said to have the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, and their supernatural powers are elusive.

Of course, these are all myths and legends and cannot be taken as true.

But voodoo in witchcraft is one of the very famous methods, and it exists.

For example, voodoo, voodoo poison is a kind of witchcraft, known to ordinary people.

The horror in it made the people in the rivers and lakes change their colors.

But after thinking about it again, I was relieved.

Quanzhen Sect is the head of Taoism in the world, and its teaching is not easy.

It is really not enough to look at the Temple of the Snake, and only one of the six ways, the Wu Shendao, is considered equal.

"How did the master master get poisoned?" Zhang Junbao was puzzled, "Could it be the shaman god or Taoist master?"

Zhang Junbao feels that even if there are other masters in Wu Shendao, they are not enough compared to Qi Zhicheng in terms of identity and strength, so they can only be the Taoist.

"It's him." Master Huolong said in a deep voice, "Qi Zhicheng was careless. I didn't expect that it was the Taoist master who made the move. But that guy didn't feel good either."

That is to say, both losers.

This result should be, after all, Qi Zhicheng is the head teacher of Quanzhen Sect, under the desperate counterattack, how can the opponent feel better?

"Could it be that this happened only recently?" Zhang Junbao suddenly felt his heart move and asked.

He somewhat understood that Qi Zhicheng's hastily looking for Master was probably for this matter.

So the poisoning should have happened not long ago.

Of course, it is also possible that Qi Zhicheng has been poisoned for a long time, but it is only when the attack is difficult to suppress that he asks Master for help.

"A few months ago." Master Huolong replied, "Qi Zhicheng claimed to the outside world that something went wrong in his practice, and his appearance changed drastically because of the loss of energy and blood. You just came here, so I didn't hear about it. He worked hard to force the poison and relieved it for a while, but he couldn't completely eliminate it after all. It's good for you to know these things, don't spread them."

Zhang Junbao looked solemn, he understood the key point, and of course he would not talk nonsense outside.

Huolong Daoist paused for a while when he said this: "The movement of the Six Dao Sect is beyond my expectation, and the identity of the person who made the move is even more extraordinary. Even the Taoist master has made a move. It's been more than 50 years since the last time he made a move. .”

Zhang Junbao was silent, not knowing how to answer.

It was indeed a surprise that a Taoist master made a move in person.

According to the master, the Liu Dao Sect has limited the number of shots in recent years.

The Buddhist scriptures against Chen Yao before seemed to be just a subordinate of the local altar master, and there are not too many examples of this, let alone a Taoist master. When such a master rarely makes a move, it is no wonder that Qi Zhicheng would be careless. Who would have thought Woolen cloth?
"What happened last time?" Zhang Junbao was curious.

"That matter is related to Temujin and Qiu Chuji, the two of them... well, we will talk about these things later." Huolong Daoist didn't continue.

Zhang Junbao felt itchy in his heart, but it was a pity that Master obviously didn't want to tell him.

He thought quickly in his mind, related to Temujin and Qiu Chuji?
It was after Qiu Chuji went to the Great Snow Mountains of the Western Regions to meet Temujin and received courtesy from Temujin that Quanzhen Sect had its heyday.

It can be said that the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

But what does the two of them have to do with the Six Dao Sect?
Zhang Junbao couldn't figure it out for a while.

Suddenly his heart was shocked, and something amazing appeared in the depths of his memory.

It seems that Temujin and Qiu Chuji died in the same year, but Zhang Junbao couldn't remember the exact year.

This just needs to be checked to know.

It should be more than 50 years since they died, right?

Could it be related to their death?

If it is the same as what I guessed, then this incident is really amazing, there is a big secret and a big horror in it.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing his disciple's complexion constantly changing, Master Huolong seemed to have thought of something extraordinary, and his mood fluctuated greatly.

"Ah, master, I was wondering if the poisoning of the master master has something to do with the imperial court? Is it that the shamanism is related to the imperial court?" Zhang Junbao said hastily.

Master didn't want to say more about the time when the Six Dao School made a move 50 years ago, so it's better not to mention it myself.

These are just my own guesses, and I can slowly find clues and verify them in the future.

"Thinking too much." Master Huolong shook his head and said, "What the court needs is balance. If the Quanzhen Sect completely collapses, it will not be good for them."

Of course Zhang Junbao understands this point. The power of religious sects needs to be relied on by the court, and at the same time, it must be controlled, so no one family will dominate.

Even if it is dominant, it will be a period, and it cannot last for too long.

For example, Quanzhen Sect, it was originally beneficial to the Mongolian rule in the early stage, and Mongolia needs to rely on the religious power of Quanzhen Sect to stabilize the people, so it naturally received courtesy, bestowed various rewards, and increased its status.

Now the imperial court is worried that Quanzhen Sect is too powerful among the people, so it not only supports Buddhism in the Central Plains, but also introduces Tibetan Buddhism and other sects from the Western Regions, with the purpose of suppressing Quanzhen Sect.

"Jun Bao, Master is going out for a while, you should stay here for now." Master Huolong felt that what he said was almost the same.

"Is it related to the Six Dao Sect?" Zhang Junbao asked.

Master Huolong did not hide this: "This time Wu Shendao hit Qi Zhicheng hard, so we can't just let it go. Of course, they also showed some flaws, and they have to pay the price for the teacher."

Zhang Junbao knew that it was about the Six Dao Sect, so he couldn't get in the way, and he couldn't do anything.

"Master, be careful."

"After fighting with them for so many years as a teacher, there are still ways to save your life." Master Huolong smiled, "What do you need from the Quanzhen Sect? If you want to do something, just ask Qi Zhicheng, and he will arrange it."

"Master, when will you leave and how long will it take?" Zhang Junbao asked.

"Tomorrow. As for how long?" Master Huolong pondered for a while and said, "It's hard to say, at least a few months, at most a year or so."

"So long?" Zhang Junbao thought that ten days and a half months should be the result, but he didn't expect it to be much longer than he expected.

"What do you mean by the Six Dao Sect?" Daoist Huolong said, "As a teacher, you have to be careful. You practice hard, and when you come back, you have to check your results. If you can't satisfy the teacher, see how I deal with you. "

"Yes, the disciple must satisfy the master."

The man in the fire dragon stared at Zhang Junbao for a while, then laughed loudly and said: "That's right, it seems that I didn't relax during the few days on the road, that's how it should be."

On the way to Dadu, the wind and snow were too heavy, and the journey was not fast.

Zhang Junbao didn't delay in martial arts training, he was able to practice Taizu Changquan in his dream now, and he had made great progress in other martial arts.

Huolong Daoist obviously saw this.

"Master, the Quanzhen Church will be in big trouble for the debate on Taoism and Buddhism in the day after tomorrow?" Zhang Junbao asked after thinking about it.

He really wanted to say that the consequences this time were very serious, but reality did not allow it.

"Although Qi Zhicheng knows it well, the consequences are probably far beyond his expectations, and far beyond the previous debates." Huolong Master sighed, "It's actually good, the imperial court's suppression means that the Quanzhen Sect will not be uprooted yet. , so that the green hills are left without worrying about no firewood."

Zhang Junbao knew that this was Master's self-comforting words.

It can only be said that the master can guess some serious consequences, just now when he was with Qi Zhicheng, he stopped talking halfway.

During the Mengge Khan period before Kublai Khan ascended the throne, there were several disputes between Quanzhen Sect and Buddhism, but the defeat of Quanzhen Sect ended.

It's just that the Quanzhen Sect didn't fully follow through on the execution of the punishment, and the court also turned a blind eye and didn't say much.

Zhang Junbao knew that this time was different, Kublai Khan was determined to use the Quanzhen Sect, and the Quanzhen Sect was not easy to fool around like before.
