Chapter 280 A Day in the Life of Qiu Chuji

Recite morning prayers, practice martial arts, and then receive visitors who come to the mountain to visit.

Although Qiu Chuji was not yet the headmaster, he had made a great name for himself in the martial arts world when he was young, and naturally got to know many people.

Among the visitors were people from the martial arts world, or nearby gentry, and even some bodyguards and businessmen. Qiu Chuji perhaps wanted Xin Zhen to follow him and see more, so he accepted all of them and took Xin Zhen to meet them all.

In addition to some people who come to visit and build relationships, most of the people who come here have requests.

People in the martial arts world either come to Quanzhen Sect to seek justice, or bring their disciples to seek to join Quanzhen Sect.

The nearby gentry asked the Quanzhen Sect to send disciples to the towns and villages to suppress the bandits. As a large sect, the Quanzhen Sect also had the responsibility to defend these areas at the foot of the mountain.

As for the escorts and businessmen, they are here to pay homage to the leader and offer money, asking the Quanzhen Sect to take care of them to avoid being harassed by bandits and bullies.

These things may seem cumbersome, but in fact they are the sect's way of survival. It is precisely because of these people at the foot of the mountain as the source of funds and extension of power of Quanzhen Sect that Quanzhen Sect can support such a large scene.

While Qiu Chuji was meeting with these people, he would explain to Xin Zhen the inside story and the reason why he handled the situation in this way as one group of people left and another group of people came.

These things are naturally familiar to Xin Zhen. He has been in charge of a modern listed company, the world, and a sect, oh, twice. He has also opened a large medical clinic. In terms of management and operations, there are not many who can be better than him.

In Xin Zhen's opinion, there is still a lot of room for improvement in Qiu Chuji's various ways of dealing with things. When Qiu Chuji asked him about his ideas, Xin Zhen did not hide his shortcomings and the solutions he came up with were actually much more perfect than Qiu Chuji's.

In the subsequent meetings, Qiu Chuji asked Xin Zhen to preside over the talks, but whenever there was a need to express the opinions and measures of Quanzhen Sect, Xin Zhen had to express his opinions first.

Xin Zhen was not polite and expressed his views one by one. The perfection of his proposal was so great that Qiu Chuji could not even suggest any revisions.

At the end of the day, Qiu Chuji not only failed to find an opportunity to educate Xin Zhen, but also learned a lot of things. This made Qiu Chuji feel that there was nothing he could teach, but he also became more determined to introduce Xin Zhen to Taoism.

In Qiu Chuji's view, compared with Xin Zhen, Yin Zhiping, Zhen Zhibing, Zhao Zhijing and others were all minions in front of Xin Zhen.

Apart from the stain of being Yang Kang's son, Xin Zhen has all the advantages.

However, unlike Huang Rong, Yang Kang's death had nothing to do with Quanzhen Sect, so there was no need for Xin Zhen to have any opinions about Quanzhen Sect, and this stain was actually not a stain.

Xin Zhen thought that as long as he showed that he had enough ability and maturity, Qiu Chuji would give up teaching him, just like Yin Zhiping who found that there was nothing he could teach and started to lie down - anyway, he knows everything I can do, and he can also know everything I can't do, so there's no point in me teaching him!

However, in the following time, Xin Zhen found that something was wrong. Not only did Qiu Chuji continue to take him to deal with various matters, but the other five disciples would also follow Qiu Chuji to deal with such matters from time to time. Even Master Ma Yu, who had built a thatched hut more than ten miles away to practice meditation, came over several times.

With Xin Zhen's keen sense, how could he not realize the strangeness in it? One day, Xin Zhen grabbed Qiu Chuji and said, "Grandmaster, I have something to ask you."

Qiu Chuji smiled and said, "That's really rare. Tell me, what's the matter?"

Xin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Master, your recent movements are unusual. Are you testing me?"

Qiu Chuji stroked his beard and nodded: "Did you see that?"

Xin Zhen sneered, "My great-grandmaster and great-uncle-grandmaster stared at me as soon as they arrived, then smiled, nodded, and stroked their beards. From time to time, they whispered and laughed in your ear. They were just short of conspiring loudly. If I couldn't see that, then I must be blind."

Qiu Chuji nodded and smiled: "Then guess what we are investigating you for?"

Xin Zhen sighed and said, "I don't know about that. You can't make me the next headmaster, but you guys are so weird, and your disciples are very scared."

Qiu Chuji laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? We can't harm you. Not only can we not harm you, but we will also entrust you with important tasks."

Xin Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "So my disciple is very scared."

Qiu Chuji blew his beard and glared, "You lazy bastard, you don't care about things that others can't even ask for!" Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Uncle Master, I don't want to be a Taoist priest. I still want to be a lay disciple. I like women, food, and sensual pleasures. I really can't bear your burdens."

Qiu Chuji was silent for a moment and then said, "You have been handling many religious affairs with me these days. With your intelligence, I believe you have understood a lot of things. Can you tell me how Quanzhen is doing now?"

Xin Zhen said without hesitation: "Of course, it is in full swing, with flowers blooming and flowers blooming."

Qiu Chuji showed no joy: "Don't just pick out the nice parts, I want to hear the bad parts."

Xin Zhen looked at Qiu Chuji in surprise, but saw a hint of worry on Qiu Chuji's face.

Xin Zhen thought to himself, it seems that you are not all fools. You have probably realized the crisis hidden in the heyday of Quanzhen Sect.

Xin Zhen pondered for a moment, but then heard Qiu Chuji say, "There are only you and me here, so you can say whatever you want. Don't feel any psychological burden."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Since Master wants to hear the truth, I will tell you the truth today. If Master doesn't want to hear it, then you can expel me from the sect."

Qiu Chuji said angrily, "What are you talking about? When will our Quanzhen Sect be punished for words? Just say what I tell you to say. How can you be so thoughtful at such a young age?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "If I didn't take it seriously, you wouldn't look down on me."

Qiu Chuji was suddenly speechless.

Xin Zhen said: "Since Master asked me this, I believe you have realized the crisis of Quanzhen Sect, so I will also tell you my opinion.

Today, Quanzhen Sect seems to be flourishing and has reached its peak, but crises are also lurking on all sides.

Qiu Chuji nodded and said, "Go on."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "The Quanzhen Sect's crisis can be divided into internal and external ones. Let's talk about the external part first. The Mongols have now occupied the entire north.

The difference between Mongolia and the Jin Dynasty is that the Jin Dynasty's shamanism was a foreign religion to the people of the Central Plains, and it was difficult for it to take root.

However, Mongolia's esoteric religion is Buddhism, which has long been deeply rooted in the Central Plains. As long as Mongolia is willing to support Buddhism, the two can quickly merge and squeeze out the living space of Quanzhen Sect.

It is foreseeable that Mongolia will definitely do its best to wipe out Quanzhen next. This is beyond doubt. You, Master, should have realized this. In the next ten or ten years, Quanzhen Sect will face devastating suppression. "

Qiu Chuji's face looked solemn.

Xin Zhen added: "This is the external cause, let me talk about the internal cause."

Qiu Chuji looked at Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen said: "The internal reason is that the prosperity of Quanzhen Sect is due to the strength of the Seven Quanzhen disciples and Uncle Guo, the leader of the martial arts world, and..."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "...Uncle Guo has been very successful in turning the Five Supreme Masters, such as Master Yideng, Hong Qigong, and Huang Yaoshi, into friendly forces. Except for Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, the Five Supreme Masters are basically friendly to Quanzhen Sect. Without the oppression of the Five Supreme Masters, Quanzhen Sect has been able to develop so rapidly in recent years."

Qiu Chuji nodded in agreement.

Xin Zhen said: "But now the situation has changed, and within the Quanzhen Sect..."

Xin Zhen paused and said, "... Grandmaster, you are getting older, and my master, Uncle Zhen, Uncle Zhao and their generation, their martial arts skills are actually far inferior to your generation. It can be said that there is a gap between the old and the new. Of course, maybe it's because I have too high expectations."

Qiu Chuji shook his head and said, "It's not that you have high expectations, it's just the reality."
