I am Zhao Zhijing, a poor Taoist priest, and I have disciples all over the world.

Chapter 32: It's up to you two elders to decide whether it's possible or not
The group walked along the road, and soon they saw a stone tablet next to a pine tree on the side of the road.

The word "Changchun" was engraved on the top of the stone tablet, and a poem by Qiu Chuji, the Changchun Zhenren, was engraved on the body of the tablet.

"The sky is vast and looks down upon the earth, why doesn't it save all the souls from suffering?"

Zhao Zhijing took a look and knew that it was here that Guo Jing angrily slammed the stone tablet more than three months ago, which led to a misunderstanding with the disciples of Quanzhen Sect.

Even when his predecessor took charge of the Big Dipper Formation and confronted Guo Jing, it was still broken by him alone.

The gears of fate may have started turning from that time.

Going further up, after passing a round platform surrounded by mountains, you will be not far from the gate of Chongyang Palace.

Another half incense stick of time passed, and the mountain gate came into view. A disciple who was patrolling the mountain happened to discover a group of people. Seeing that it was Zhao Zhijing, Li Zhichang and others returning to the mountain, he hurried to greet them.

"Senior Brother Zhao! Senior Brother Li! And all the fellow brothers, you are back!"

"Greetings to Uncle Zhao, Uncle Li, and all the uncles and uncles!"

The last time Chen Zhiquan came back, not only did he break an arm, but two of his fellow disciples were also seriously injured and died.

Now that they saw Zhao Zhijing and his group of seven returning safely, with even a few more people, the patrolling disciples felt relieved.

Zhao Zhijing asked everyone to be quiet and asked, "Is the head master in Chongyang Palace?"

"This is the chief escort of Changhong Escort Agency, Senior Guan Changhong. Go and inform them that a distinguished guest is visiting."

"Yes, Senior Brother Zhao!"

After sending someone back to report the news, the group continued to move forward, still led by Zhao Zhijing, who gave a general introduction to the scenery in Chongyang Palace along the way.

When passing by the open space in front of the Sanqing Temple, it was not yet completely dark, and the Big Dipper formation consisting of ninety-eight people was still practicing.

More than a hundred people exhaled and shouted, the long swords in their hands flashing cold light, and the swords rose and fell as the formation turned, stirring up gusts of wind, and the sword light formed a light net.

Guan Changhong was secretly amazed. Everyone in the martial arts world knew about the Quanzhen Sect's Tiangang Big Dipper Sword Formation, but they had only heard that it was composed of seven people.

Seeing the crowd at this moment, there were probably about a hundred people.

Looking at the large formation, it is rigorous in formation and astonishing in momentum, enough to deal with enemies that are several times its number at the same time.

No wonder after the passing of Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect, although no one in the sect could match the invincibility of their founder, they still managed to stand firm in the world and become the leader of the righteous path.

In the sword formation, some people had already seen Zhao Zhijing and his group. The familiar disciples exchanged glances with each other, some happy and some worried.

Lu Qingdu, Liu Qingxing and others were on patrol today, so they were not in the sword formation.

Yang Guo, Zhang Qingzhi and other disciples who were practicing sword formations were all delighted to see their master coming back.

This descent from the mountain happened suddenly and the departure was hasty. At the beginning, the disciples in Chongyang Palace did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

When Chen Zhiquan, who had lost an arm, woke up again, his fellow disciples went to visit him and found out what had happened.

When the news spread, Zhao Zhijing's disciples couldn't help but worry about their master. When they saw their master returning safely, they were naturally happy.

"Captain Guan, please."

Zhao Zhijing saw Guan Changhong stop and stare at the sword formation in a daze, so he slowly opened his mouth to remind him.

"Guan lost his composure!"

"Master Zhao, your sect's sword formation is really rigorous, with a clear plan for advance and retreat, and endless changes. I really admire it!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Chief Escort." After arriving at Sanqing Temple and meeting the head Taoist Ma Yu and Guangning Taoist Hao Datong, Zhao Zhijing introduced Guan Changhong to them.

"I am Guan Changhong from the Changhong Escort Agency. I would like to meet Master Ma, the head of the Quanzhen Sect, and Master Guangning in person."

Hao Datong had seen Guan Changhong before and knew that he was quite famous as a hero in the Sanqin area. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he asked about the purpose of his personal trip up the mountain.

"I have been in Xianyang for a long time and have not been able to visit the Quanzhen Sect masters. I have to apologize in person."

Ma Yuqian calmly returned the greeting, "Captain Guan, there is no need to be polite."

Guan Changhong continued, "This time, because of the chaos caused by the evil spirit of the root of disaster, I got to know the disciples of the real master."

"My son Guan Man'er is dull in talent, but fortunately Taoist Zhao Zhijing thought highly of him and agreed to take him in as his disciple."

"In addition to expressing my gratitude, Guan thought of preparing some small gifts and visiting in person at Chongyang Palace."

Ma Yu and Hao Datong looked at each other, then looked at Guan Man'er who was pulled in front of Guan Changhong, and finally their eyes fell on Zhao Zhijing.

I still remember that at the beginning of the year, a group of fourth-generation disciples who came to the mountain to learn skills wanted to become his apprentice. At that time, Zhao Zhijing made all kinds of excuses and finally only accepted one person.

The rest who should have been accepted into Wang Chuyi's school were accepted by Cui Zhifang and others.

Why are you taking the initiative to accept disciples now?
Could it be that Guan Changhong is a gifted child, a rare martial arts prodigy?

Ma Yu had the same idea as Hao Datong, and looked at Guan Man'er again.

Guan Man'er opened his mouth slightly, staring blankly at the Three Pure Ones enshrined in the main hall, with an arrogant look on his face.

No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the words "extraordinary talent".
Zhao Zhijing stood aside and said nothing, his eyes on his nose, his nose on his mouth, his mouth on his heart, and his qi sinking into his dantian.

Anyway, I have brought the person back, and the other party's parents have also come to the door. It's up to you two to decide whether it's okay or not.

This is the end of it, and there will be a surprise that you will never expect.

Ma Yu was an honest man after all. Although his junior brother Wang Chuyi was not in the mountain, it was not a big deal for him to accept a disciple.

Moreover, Guan Changhong is no unknown figure in the martial arts world. Now he is treating him with great respect as a junior, so we should always give him some face.

"Since the son of Chief Escort Guan has a connection with Zhi Jing, and Chief Escort Guan does not think that my Quanzhen Sect is humble, I will take the initiative to agree to his becoming his disciple."

If it was Wang Chuyi, he might have to take into account the seniority in the underworld, because Guan Changhong should be on the same level as Wang Chuyi. Although Guan Changhong had a son in old age, his son should be on the same level as Zhao Zhijing and other three-generation disciples.

Guan Changhong was overjoyed when he heard this. He held Guan Man'er's back with his right hand from behind and bowed down respectfully.

Ma Yu and Hao Datong presided over the ceremony. Zhao Zhijing kowtowed three times to Guan Man'er in front of the statue of the Three Pure Ones and formally accepted him as his disciple.

Guan Changhong was relieved and gave Guan Man'er a lot of advice without caring whether he could understand or not.

It's nothing more than respecting teachers, being friendly to classmates, and practicing hard.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ma Yu, out of courtesy, wanted Guan Changhong and several disciples who came with him to stay overnight in Chongyang Palace.

"Captain Guan, it's inconvenient to go down the mountain after dark, why don't you stay overnight in Chongyang Palace?"

Guan Changhong was worried about his family, so he politely declined.

"Thank you, Master Ma. However, there are disciples from Guan's escort agency waiting for you at the foot of the mountain. Guan will also have to go back and deal with the trivial matters in the escort agency."

"Today, I am very happy to meet Master Ma in person. I will not disturb you Taoists in your meditation any longer. I will leave the mountain now."
