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

Chapter 49: A great scholar will argue for me
"Master."

Seeing Yang Guo looking somewhat at a loss, Zhao Zhijing took a step forward and looked towards where the noise was the loudest.

Uncle Hao, if you don’t target them, I will target all of you.

"Oh!"

"Shut up, everyone!"

Sure enough, Hao Datong could no longer sit still after hearing the accusations from all over the place. He slammed the armrest of his chair and stood up angrily.

Hao Datong came to the scene angrily, looked around at his disciples, and was so angry that his gray beard fluttered.

When Zhao Zhijing saw Hao Datong standing up, he knew that his previous prediction was correct, so he gently waved to Yang Guo and asked him to come back to his side first.

There are great scholars who will debate with you and me as master and disciple!
"They are all ignorant and unskillful, yet they are slandering others. What a shame!"

The third and fourth generation disciples in Chongyang Palace could not recognize the Kongming Fist, so how could Hao Datong not recognize it? Hearing the disciples shouting about sorcery, unorthodox methods, and other martial arts, he was really furious.

This is clearly Uncle Zhou's 72-Move Kongming Fist, how can it not be the martial arts of my Quanzhen Sect?

In addition, Hao Datong could also see that a considerable number of the third and fourth generation disciples were clearly targeting Yang Guo.

This also made Hao Datong, who had just been thinking that Yang Guo could revive Quanzhen, extremely angry.

The Seven Quanzhen disciples were as close as brothers, but how come they became so scattered after only three or four generations?
"Yang Guo used the martial arts of my Quanzhen Sect, and he won fair and square. I don't think anyone would disagree!"

Seeing Hao Datong getting angry, the group of people who were gossiping about him suddenly became silent and dared not speak anymore.

But their eyes were still not honest. They looked at each other and wondered when this kind of martial arts appeared in our Quanzhen Sect?

"Master, please don't be angry. It is because we disciples are blind and misunderstood Senior Brother Zhao's disciples."

Hao Datong's apprentice Zhang Zhiguang quickly came to his master, gave him some advice, and then asked everyone's questions.

"It's just that Junior Brother Yang Guo's boxing skills are too advanced and have never been used before, so everyone is a little anxious. Please forgive me, Master."

With just a few words, Zhang Zhiguang shifted the focus of the issue, and the criticisms turned into "anxiety".

Zhao Zhijing listened to the general idea, looked at him from a distance, and thought to himself that in the next competition, you'd better pray that you don't meet the Taoist priest.

Hao Datong still had a stern face, took a long breath, and then said: "Yang Guo used that, that was your great-grandmaster Zhou's 72-move Kongming Fist!"

After these words were spoken, the disciples present were even more surprised. They never expected that Yang Guo's martial arts were actually passed down from his great-grandmaster Uncle Zhou.

Hao Datong glanced at Yang Guo who had returned to Zhao Zhijing's side, and had some guess in his mind.

The last time Zhao Zhijing and his disciples went down the mountain, they met Uncle Zhou, but it was just an encounter. Neither Zhao Zhijing nor Li Zhichang mentioned that Uncle Zhou had taught them martial arts.

Moreover, given Zhijing's personality, it is impossible for him to be liked by Uncle Zhou, and the idea of passing on skills to him is even more ridiculous.

If Zhao Zhijing knew what Hao Datong was thinking now, he would probably smile in an unfathomable way.

Uncle Master Zhou did not teach me martial arts, I taught Uncle Master Zhou martial arts
When Hao Datong thought of this, he had ruled out the correct answer that Yang Guo's boxing skills were taught by Zhao Zhijing, and then he thought of Guo Jing.

Back then, Uncle Zhou and Guo Jing had a close relationship. They even became sworn brothers, which caused a lot of jokes.

The Seven True Immortals also knew that Uncle Zhou had taught Guo Jing kung fu. Not only the 72-move Kongming Fist, but also the Left-Right and Right-Way Fighting and the Nine Yin Scriptures were taught to him.

Yang Guo was sent to Chongyang Palace by Guo Jing. Although he was seriously injured and unconscious at the time, he also heard the details from his brother Ma Yu, the head teacher, afterwards. The two sides confirmed that Guo Jing must have been kind-hearted and took into account the brotherhood with Yang Kang, so he taught Yang Guo martial arts.

As for why it is the Kongming Fist, it is also easy to explain. Since Yang Guo has joined the Quanzhen Sect, then Guo Jing teaching him the Kongming Fist from his uncle Zhou can also be regarded as a return to one's roots.

It is a pity that no one in Quanzhen Sect has inherited Master Chongyang's Xiantian Gong and Yi Yang Finger.

Now that we have a talented disciple like Yang Guo, it would be great if he could pass on Uncle Zhou's martial arts.

"When he saw his fellow disciples were highly skilled in martial arts, instead of asking for advice or trying to catch up, he started talking about some sorcery or unorthodox methods!"

Hao Datong was straightforward, and at this moment he deliberately spoke up for Zhao Zhijing and Yang Guo, scolding them sternly: “Practicing Taoism, what kind of Taoism are you practicing!”

"Is this what your master taught you every day?"

Zhao Zhijing felt it was exciting to see Hao Datong using his skills indiscriminately, but at the same time he felt that the Taoist's violent temper would only make him more enemies.

The Seven Quanzhen disciples share weal and woe, so it is understandable that Hao Datong teaches other brothers and disciples a lesson, but these grudges will probably fall on himself in the end.

The disciples present were scolded so much that they lowered their heads and shrank their necks. No one was so blind as to dare to provoke Hao Datong. But when they thought that Yang Guo had won the first place in the competition, they felt extremely unhappy.

"In this year's year-end competition among the four generations of disciples, it was Senior Brother Wang's disciple, Zhao Zhijing's disciple Yang Guo, who took first place!"

"Do you have anything else to say?"

After Hao Datong finished speaking, he waved towards Zhao Zhijing, meaning to let Yang Guo go over.

Zhao Zhijing patted Yang Guo on the shoulder and said calmly, "Go, your uncle-master is calling you."

"Remember what your teacher said, people of my generation should take the lead, we won first place fairly and squarely, so just hold your head high."

After Yang Guo returned to his master, he heard Uncle Master Hao stand up to prove his case. He gradually calmed down and knew that he had done nothing wrong.

At this time, with the affirmation from his master, the young man was filled with blood. He nodded heavily, faced the gazes of the audience without fear, and walked towards Hao Datong.

"Good boy, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, your uncle will take care of it for you!"

Seeing Yang Guo coming to his side, Hao Datong liked him more and more. He put away his anger, smiled kindly, and gently touched Yang Guo's head.

Hua Qing Chi, who was defeated, knew that he was defeated in the end. He originally thought that Yang Guo had learned some weird kung fu from somewhere, but he didn't expect that it was the martial arts passed down by Master Zhou.

He immediately calmed himself down, patted his Taoist robe which was covered in dust from the fall, and then slowly approached Hao Datong.

"Master Uncle Hao, I, Hua Qingchi, accept defeat wholeheartedly."

"Junior brother Yang is extremely talented and has excellent boxing skills. I admire him from the bottom of my heart. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future."

Seeing that he looked natural and spoke sincerely, Hao Datong admired him and said, "This is the demeanor that a disciple of Quanzhen Sect should have."

“All the fourth generation disciples present here should follow Qing Chi and Yang Guo’s example, work hard, and revitalize our Quanzhen Taoist sect!”
