Chapter 281: Quanzhen Crisis
Seeing that Qiu Chuji agreed with him, Xin Zhen nodded and continued, "That's one thing. Another thing is that my master, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhen and others are all of similar level. There is no outstanding person who surpasses his peers. This will lead to a consequence that no one will submit to anyone else.

If the external environment is stable, this situation is not too bad, but once the external environment undergoes major changes, once your generation withdraws, then the Quanzhen Sect will fall apart internally. "

Qiu Chuji was horrified and asked, "It can't be this serious, right?"

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "Since the Jin invaded China and the Song Dynasty moved south, the Taoists in the religion have been chivalrous and righteous, helping the poor and doing many good deeds.

At that time, the north was occupied by foreign races and the people were suffering. Seeing that there was no hope for the restoration of the imperial court, the people often regarded Quanzhen Sect as their savior.

North of the Yellow River, the power of the Quanzhen Sect and the Beggars' Sect was sometimes greater than that of the government.

The Jin people had suppressed the Quanzhen Sect, so the Mongols naturally wanted to suppress it as well, and even subvert it. They would definitely use a variety of means, including the military, esoteric Buddhism, and allying with Buddhism, and even inciting internal factions within the Quanzhen Sect to fight each other.

In the face of power, can the master be sure that all his disciples can resist temptation?"

Qiu Chuji's face was solemn. He had originally only thought about the Mongols, but after Xin Zhen's reminder, he suddenly came to his senses.

When the Quanzhen Sect was facing this kind of situation, if there was no capable person to suppress it, I'm afraid the situation Xin Zhen described would definitely happen!
Qiu Chuji looked at Xin Zhen and asked, "Do you have any good ideas for solving this problem?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It's different now. My master's swordsmanship has reached a very high level. Uncle Master Zhen and Uncle Master Zhao can hardly compare to my master."

Qiu Chuji frowned and thought for a while before saying, "This is not the key point. Even if Zhiping's martial arts surpass his peers, there will still be people who will not accept it. This hidden danger still exists.

Secondly, to lead the entire Quanzhen Sect to fight against the Mongols, only a wise and brave person can take on this task. Zhiping, Zhibing, Zhijing and others are either conservative, short-sighted, or narrow-minded. None of them are capable of taking on this important task. "

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "That's fine. Anyway, it won't be a problem for you to suppress it for twenty or thirty years, so just take your time."

Qiu Chuji was silent for a while and then said, "Guo'er, if you were the head of Quanzhen Sect, how would you deal with this situation?"

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "Is this something we can say? If someone hears it, wouldn't they say that our Changchun lineage is trying to usurp the position of our great-grandfather, the head teacher?"

Qiu Chuji smiled and said, "This is just what we said in private. I am worried about the inheritance of Quanzhen. You are very smart, so I want you to give me some ideas to prevent the decline of the sect. This is also a good intention."

Xin Zhen nodded and said without hesitation: "If it is just for inheritance and surrendering to the Mongols, the Quanzhen Sect will naturally be safe."

Qiu Chuji said angrily: "How can we, the Han people, surrender to the Mongols?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Even if they surrender, they may not be able to protect themselves. The Buddhist Esoteric Sect, which is now closely tied to the Mongols, will not allow the Quanzhen Sect to continue to preach in the north. The Quanzhen Sect must be destroyed before the Buddhist Esoteric Sect can spread."

Qiu Chuji sighed.

Xin Zhen said: "The Quanzhen Sect's roots are in the north, so if we want to move to the south, this is absolutely impossible. If we lose our roots, the Quanzhen Sect will be in decline and will be no different from other sects."

Qiu Chuji nodded and said, "That's true. However, if we stay in the north, we will be attacked by the Mongols. If we go to the south, we will lose our roots. The end result will be the same, so what should we do?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "If I were the headmaster, the first thing I would do would be to increase the Quanzhen Sect's martial arts collection.

In my opinion, Quanzhen Sect's Musashi is just average.

Everyone talks about Quanzhen being the orthodox sect of Xuanmen, but the orthodox sect of Xuanmen is actually just the Quanzhen internal power mental method. But this internal power mental method can only make everyone become a fairly good master.

To become a master of the Five Supremes level, it is actually not enough for Quan Zhen Musashi to do so."

Qiu Chuji wanted to get angry when he heard this, but then he smiled bitterly and said, "To become a master of the Five Supremes level, one must have talent, martial arts, and adventures. It's not that simple.

And it all comes down to personal talent. Without talent, even if he has the Nine Yin Manual or Xiantian Gong, he still can’t become a master of the Five Absolutes level.”

Xin Zhen agreed with this, but he still thought that Quanzhen Sect's Wuzang was too poor. He said: "Quanzhen Heart Method is considered a first-class internal strength method in the martial arts world. It is good at steady progress without the danger of going astray. It also has no particular advantage in speed, so it can only be considered first-class.

The Quanzhen swordsmanship can only be considered first-rate, and the Frost-breaking Palm can barely be considered first-rate.

Their internal energy, sword skills, boxing skills, and palm skills are all first-rate, so Quanzhen disciples are very successful in the martial arts world, but that is when facing ordinary people in the martial arts world.

Once they meet a stronger Musashi, such as the Five Supreme Disciples or martial artists with outstanding talents, the Quanzhen disciples will be defeated.

The Quanzhen Sect manages 3,000 Taoist temples and 80,000 disciples throughout the world. Don't tell me there are no talented people among them. In fact, when it comes down to it, it's Musashi who is not good enough.

If you have time, you can discuss sword techniques with my master and see how good his sword techniques are now. Then you can understand how Quanzhen Wuzang is doing."

Xin Zhen looked at Qiu Chuji and said, "With the Supreme Martial Arts Collection, even if Quanzhen Sect is forced to move south in the future, even if it is scattered, the Quanzhen disciples will not die out.

As long as there is one disciple, the Quanzhen Sect's martial arts will still be scattered like stars in the sky."

Qiu Chuji smiled bitterly and said, "You make it easy. These martial arts were left to us by Master Chongyang. That's because Master Chongyang was a genius. We can only follow his steps, but it's hard for us to reach his level. How can we create a martial arts that can compare to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said: "It's not difficult. We can find our ancestor Zhou Botong. He has the Nine Yin Manual.

The Nine Yin Manual is also the orthodox Xuanmen, and the Quanzhen Sect relies on it as its treasure. In just ten years, the Quanzhen Sect will surely produce many masters, which will be of great benefit to both the resistance against the Mongols and their own inheritance!"

Qiu Chuji smiled bitterly again: "Master Chongyang strictly forbids us to practice the Nine Yin Manual."

Xin Zhen laughed and said, "When it comes to the inheritance of the orthodox tradition, everything can be compromised.

The reason why Chongyang Patriarch strictly prohibited it at that time was because of the Five Absolutes. Now the times have changed, so why should we stick to this?

How could the head of Quanzhen Sect, who cares about tens of millions of people, three thousand Taoist temples and eighty thousand disciples in the north, be so rigid?

Grandmaster, I have a suggestion for you. When choosing successors in the future, do not accept those who are rigid, narrow-minded, or short-sighted. "

Qiu Chuji sighed and said, "Sometimes there aren't that many choices, so you just pick one that's about the same...Guo'er, if you have any other ideas, tell me as well."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "The rest is about unifying the route, integrating the internal forces, reducing the gaps between the various branches, and moving everyone towards a common goal."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chuji nodded, agreeing with Xin Zhen's idea.
