Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Chapter 73 The seven sons discuss and journey to the west

When Lu Chen returned to the Quanzhen Sect and went up Zhongnan Mountain, he met people and led others along the way. He was impressed by his fellow disciples, and they grew from a small number to more than a hundred people. This appearance can be said to be grand and powerful, and it is really eye-catching in the eyes of those who are interested.

After the Chongyang Patriarch was trapped in Jiukongwujie, the Quanzhen sect was represented by Ma Yu. He was named one of the seven Quanzhen disciples, but everyone knew that Ma Yu was the second generation leader. However, Lu Chen's behavior seemed to be grand, putting the name of the next leader on his head.

Although the Quanzhen sect has a large number of followers, few can compare with him. The leader, Yin Zhiping, has no intention of competing for supremacy. After that, Zhao Zhijing and Zhen Zhiping are naturally embarrassed to hold important positions.

But many forces in the world are paying attention to the developments here. He not only alarmed all the people and was popular among the people, he also made great achievements and was trusted by people. He might also be the future leader of the Quanzhen Sect, making many forces feel at ease and also making many forces vigilant.

Speaking of Quanzhen Sect's status in the world, it has always been embarrassing. Among the Three Kingdoms of China, if you mention Wudang of the Ming Dynasty and Shaolin of the Tang Dynasty, you have to mention Quanzhen of the Song Dynasty. No matter how ignored, there is after all Wang Chongyang above them who has learned all three religions.

But for such a large sect, only people of the level of the Quanzhen Seventh Son can take charge.

They are masters, but not supreme masters. At their level, Wudang Shaolin can easily pick up hundreds of them. The three sects are put on par, sitting side by side, like the biggest joke in the world.

In the past, the Quanzhen Seven Sons also knew their own affairs. Except for one Qiu Chuji, who loved chivalry and righteousness, the rest had a quiet temperament.

In the end, the Quanzhen Sect seems to have truly become a celestial sect outside the world of martial arts that simply studies Taoism.

Then he reacted, "You have been practicing martial arts these days, and you still have time to patrol spies? Oh my god! No, it's my god!"

Lu Chen was naturally clear about this. The Seven Quanzhen Sons were all Taoist priests. Even Ma Yu, the most popular person, didn't have much experience in Jianghu affairs, so Lu Chen had to give them some guidance.

However, the name Wang Chongyang always exists in it. No one knows when Wang Zhe, Wang Zhongfu and Wang Chongyang will return to the secular world. Therefore, people laugh at the Quanzhen Religion, but they dare not underestimate the Quanzhen Religion. In other words, people are thinking about Quanzhen Religion but cannot pay attention to Quanzhen Religion.

Ma Yu nodded and said, "As for what my junior brother said, my nephew's intention is not to practice Taoism. In fact, everyone has his own ambitions, and there is no need to force him. If he doesn't want to practice Taoism, we will let him focus on his deeds in the world and become a guardian of our Quanzhen Sect. Just be a Taoist."

Only Hao Datong hesitated and said, "My nephew is good, but he is not a talent for practicing Taoism. He said bluntly that day that he wanted to change the rules of the ancestors. If he gains authority one day, then..."

These two sentences have the same meaning, which means: Quanzhen Sect is not good now, but it will always be worthy of people's attention and attention, and they should not be careless.

Lu Chen said, "Master, please pay attention to the recent whereabouts of these senior brothers, but please do not alert others. In short, they are not easy, and we cannot avoid them, but if we grasp this, we may be able to use it at critical moments."

When Lu Chen arrived, although he was not one ten thousandth as effective as Wang Chongyang, it was still very frightening. Even if the previous impressions have not really changed at this time, at least the clues can be seen.

One day, he summoned the seven disciples of Quanzhen and sat in a row in Chongyang Palace.

Qiu Chuji was confused, "What is this?"

Only then did Qiu Chuji understand, "Are they spies?"

As soon as the seven people heard this, they knew that this meant delegating power. The Quanzhen Sect was incomparable with those sects with big families and big businesses. Once the Quanzhen Seven Sons made a decision internally, everything was done. There was nothing between the top and the bottom. Easy to say.

Qiu Chuji took seven or eight names and went to search for the remaining seven Quanzhen sons. The seven people discussed it and decided to adopt Lu Chen's suggestion and secretly control their whereabouts, but remained calm on the surface.

Ma Yu got straight to the point and said it bluntly, "My good nephew is bold, careful, brave and resourceful, and he has the full support of Master Lin. Our Quanzhen Sect is in a turbulent situation, and we need to find such a talent to take the helm. We just need to wait." After practicing for a while and leaving the heavy responsibility to future generations, the seven of us can recite Huang Ting quietly."

Ma Yu said with a smile, "Junior brother, don't be impatient. Senior brother has already had an idea. In fact, if the Quanzhen religion wants to improve, it needs to add some rules. But adding does not mean changing. In fact, the Quanzhen religion does not stipulate who has the last name. , you are from the Huashan Sect, Pindao is from the Yuxian Sect, and Junior Brother Qiu is from the Longmen Sect... Each sect has its own rules."

After the matter was arranged, Ma Yu also fell in love with Lu Chen more and more.

All Jianghu forces always have arrangements to prepare for a rainy day. Therefore, the excitement in Zhongnan Mountain is also predictable.

As soon as these words came out, they touched the hearts of everyone. In fact, most of the seven of them were focused on cultivating the truth. This practice of cultivation is not about Liang Ziwen's delusional desire to ascend to immortality, but about reading and chanting sutras, seeking freedom and freedom, which is academic understanding and happiness.

During this period, Lu Chen secretly handed a list to Qiu Chuji. There were seven or eight names on it, headed by Zhao Zhijing.

Lu Chen smiled, what a lovely old man, he didn't forget to show off his surprise in the end.

Sun Buer suddenly realized, "In this way, he does his thing and we do ours, but we are all from the same Quanzhen family. In fact, we can't tell each other apart."

In comparison, those who are competitive and brave in the arena only rank second or third in their hearts.

They are essentially Taoist priests, not warriors. Although there is often talk in the world of monks and nuns, the sword-wielding thing has really nothing to do with their lives.

It's just that for many years, they have to protect the foundation of the Quanzhen Sect on the huge Zhongnan Mountain, and they have to do some things as a last resort. If they don't show their skills, people in the world will look down upon them. They claim to be outside the martial arts world. Others know that their martial arts skills are not weak, but they are not willing to listen.

So in the end, they all had some achievements, and in order to maintain this prestige, they had to work hard and pay attention to martial arts, which made them entangled in worldly affairs and made everyone unable to do what they wanted.

What Ma Yu said reminded them of the Buddhist and Taoist scriptures they read on weekdays. Bodhisattvas, immortals, Buddhas, and gods, in order to devote themselves to practice, did not all have protectors, kings, kings, and gods to help them kill demons. Do you want to eliminate demons and uphold justice?

Although all these myths and legends are completely false, the truth behind them makes sense.

In Ma Yu's eyes, Lu Chen had no intention of practicing Taoism, but if he grew up in martial arts in the future, he might become the "protector" of the Quanzhen Sect, while the Quanzhen Seven Sons would hide behind the scenes, hand over power, and become their own " Cultivation of the real person”.

This is very similar to the Wudang Sect. Zhang Sanfeng's direct disciples are the Seven Wudang Heroes, but there are hundreds of registered, half-teachers and half-friends, martial arts instructors, and art masters. Prosperity is unparalleled.

When the time comes, Lu Chen will wipe out the demons, break through the gaps, and use force to bring chaos to the world. They will rule the world, achieve great things, and rule the world with culture. In this way, the Quanzhen Sect does not have to worry about not being the largest sect in the world, and it can be considered worthy of the inheritance of the Chongyang Patriarch.

Sure enough, when the remaining seven sons heard about this, they were immediately overjoyed, most of them agreed, and everyone praised it.

Only Qiu Chuji sighed quietly, which made Ma Yu surprised, "Junior Brother Qiu, you found such a treasure to share our worries, why do you still seem unhappy?"

As soon as Qiu Chuji came to his senses, his face flushed, and he said, "Senior brother, will this make Chen'er bear too much... If a disciple wants to do big things, as a master, you have to protect him for a while... Isn't Chen'er going down the mountain? , Or else I am a poor man..." When everyone saw his appearance, they all understood.

Ma Yu said, "Don't lie to me, senior brother. You care about the common people, but it is not our way of retreating from the world. Your heroic aspirations and grievances are inspired by your good nephew, but in the final analysis, it is your heart that is not at peace." "

Seeing that Qiu Chuji made it clear, he stopped pretending. He took off the long sword from his back, put it in front of his eyes, pulled out a section and said, "I am going to the official's house. Along the way, I saw Cai Jing, Qin Hui and others doing evil. I want to kill the evil villains and traitors with the sword. Can you pass it?"

With a sound of Canglang, the sword light flashed half a foot together, reflecting a pool of autumn water. The setting sun shone from the outside of the palace, and a sword shadow flew out. From small to large, it went straight into the dome, dividing the entire Chongyang Palace from the inside. For two.

Junior brothers and sisters Hao Datong, Liu Chuxuan, and Sun Buer raised their brows and squinted their eyes. They all felt that the sword energy in the Chongyang Palace was reaching the sky, the evil spirit was blowing on their faces, the coldness was thick, and the killing intent was hunting, making them avoid it.

They sighed in their hearts: Hey, senior brother has become more murderous. Where is the person who is a cultivator?

Ma Yu warned, "This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing. Cultivation is an achievement of the human heart and a personal achievement. Once you fail to protect yourself, you will just be a drag on others. Whatever you entrust to someone, the senior brother can only I’m afraid you’ll cause trouble to the right path.”

Qiu Chuji looked around and saw the seven Quanzhen disciples passing by, all bowing their heads and saying nothing. He looked at it for a long time, sighed, and returned the sword to its sheath.

He naturally understood these truths. The martial arts of the Quanzhen Seven Sons were barely able to preserve the foundation of the Zhongnan Mountains, and they had to borrow Wang Chongyang's support. But to have the ambition to change the world, one must have the power of Wudang Shaolin.

Otherwise, Qiu Chuji could break into Prince Wanyan's palace with only his own strength, and it would be a big deal. What would happen if he encounters a stronger opponent in the future?

Although Lu Chen's martial arts is temporarily lower than him, he is still young and has experienced ups and downs, and he has already achieved great success. In comparison, he is a half-dead eagle, a lost old horse, and he is still dancing with swords and swords in the arena, but it is very inappropriate.

Qiu Chuji couldn't help but sigh: Am I really old?

Seeing him like this, Ma Yu stepped up and said, "If you follow us and retreat from the world, you may be of great use elsewhere. In fact, we say that you are born, but where is the true world? Who can really escape from the great events in the world? Only by taking a step back sometimes can we Going further in the future, I will leave it to be useful and don’t strive for temporary success.”

Seeing his hard work, Qiu Chuji pondered for a moment and finally realized that it was reasonable, so he nodded. Suddenly I heard a voice coming from the door, "Master, my uncle is right."

Quanzhen Seventh Son looked up and saw three figures at the door.

From the appearance, these are three people who match each other very well. The three people are arranged in a high and low order. The Taoist nun on the left is holding the hand of the young girl in the middle, and the young girl in the middle is holding the hand of the boy on the right. There is a bird lying on the head of the young girl, which seems to complement each other.

Seeing the three of them being so intimate, Ma Yu felt awkward, and looked at each other with the remaining seven, feeling embarrassed.

However, Lu Chen was not considered a disciple who broke into the house, and they were not qualified to condemn him. Not to mention that the two female dolls are both "acquaintances". The person behind them may have held hands with the ancestor. Due to human feelings, I can only turn a blind eye.

Qiu Chuji was about to agree to Ma Yu's advice, but when he saw Lu Chen's smile on his face, he couldn't help scolding him, "Chen'er, what do you mean? My teacher only told you these words secretly. If you want to betray my teacher, you can't do it." ?”

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Master, I agree with you not accompanying me down the mountain, but I don't agree with you just sealing your heart and hanging up your sword to cultivate your moral character. In fact, it is not too late to achieve success when you are over fifty, and you are old and brave, and your ambition is a thousand miles. Master, uncle, and yours The way is different, and you are different from my way.”

He talked eloquently and calmly, but he commented on the more senior Quanzhen Seventh Son without mercy.

But after ten days and a half of getting along with each other, the seven Quanzhen disciples all knew that he was merciless in his words, but had no malice in his heart. Generally speaking, the master and apprentice are very similar in some aspects, so I don't feel offended at all.

Qiu Chuji became interested, "Oh? What do you think the way to be a teacher is?"

Lu Chen slowly said three words, "Journey to the West."

Qiu Chuji was shocked and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lu Chen said, "Perhaps there is a huge secret hidden in Master's "Journey to the West". When you overcome the eighty-one difficulties, you will be able to achieve great achievements. Then you may not be able to walk with your disciple and protect my Quanzhen Dao." ”

Qiu Chuji smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know about "Journey to the West". It's all about strange and obscene techniques, so how can it be said?"

Lu Chen only said, "But master, aren't you curious? Why did Jiukong Wujie give you this book? Maybe there is an unfinished destiny waiting for you. If you don't explore it clearly, you will be unwilling to accept it in the end? The disciple feels that there is always an unfinished future in life. And what we need to pursue, maybe Master, is this."

Qiu Chuji couldn't help but think deeply after hearing his words.

After a long time, Qiu Chuji stood up, his eyes flashing with excitement, "Okay, okay, okay, what you said is exactly what I want. Brothers and sisters, I am a poor man who is willing to travel around the world and test heroes with swords. After all, he is a man of his right age." The material is still a half-disabled eagle, we will talk about it after the 81st difficulty of "Journey to the West"!

He was always fiery in his work. After saying this, he picked up his sword and walked down the mountain without giving anyone the slightest hint of rejection. Ma Yu wanted to say something else, but when he saw him like this, he opened his mouth and then kept silent.

When he passed by Lu Chen, Lu Chen stretched out his palm. Qiu Chuji was startled for a moment, then he also stretched out his palm and slapped Lu Chen. Amid loud applause, the two looked at each other and laughed. The laughter soared into the sky and filled the Chongyang Palace.

They look like Taoist masters and disciples, but they are more like brothers who have been through fire and water in the world and have a close friendship.

The Six Quanzhen disciples were dumbfounded. When Qiu Chuji came down the mountain, Ma Yucai said, "My good nephew, what about the Eighty-one Difficulties in "Journey to the West"... are you really sure about it?"

After Lu Chen saluted, he smiled bitterly and said, "Disciple is really not sure. I only know that if master doesn't work hard for a while, he will regret it for the rest of his life. He will not be able to cultivate the Tao, and he will not be able to train his heart well. Why do this?"

The Six Quanzhen disciples thought this, and according to Qiu Chuji's temperament, fearing that this was indeed the case, they sighed and nodded, "You master and disciple have known each other for several months, but you really know each other. But we were brothers in vain, but we didn't take care of each other. he."

Lu Chen laughed it off and asked, "Uncle, I heard that an important official from the Lin'an Mansion is going to lead his disciples to Lin'an. May I ask who the official is?"

Ma Yudao said, "They are the two subordinates of Zhu Yueming, known as the 'big boss', in the Six Gates of Dali Temple in the Ministry of Justice. They are 'hardworking and uncomplaining'. It's really strange that they don't apply for official positions, but they can use the Ministry of Justice, Yamen and the Six Gates at will." manpower... Hey, what's wrong? Do you know these two?"

The smile on Lu Chen's face changed, he grinned and his eyes lit up. The expression became very strange, very subtle, very playful, even very demonic.

He squinted his eyes, dilated his pupils, and said meaningfully, "If you don't know me, of course we don't know you."
