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

Chapter 60: A romantic temperament
Qiu Chuji has been in southern and northern Shanxi for the past six months, along with Wang Chuyi and others, bringing the best disciples of the third generation of Quanzhen Sect. On the surface, they were trying to contain Li Mochou, but in fact, they were thinking of the relationship between the two sects and wanted to mediate and give Li Mochou a way to reform herself.

In the past six months alone, the number of fellow martial artists killed or injured by Li Mochou is greater than one hand, not to mention that she killed Lu Liding and his wife in Jiaxing, Jiangnan.

In addition, there are more than 20 people in Master He’s family, including men, women, old and young, and 63 warehouses and shipping companies on the Yuanjiang River.

Then Qiu Chuji and other old martial artists finally forced Li Mochou to show up, but she provoked them with words and they insisted on competing one by one according to the rules of martial arts.

When Sun Buer was injured by the Bingpo Silver Needle during a duel, Li Mochou took the opportunity to offer her an antidote. The Taoists had no choice but to accept it and follow the rules to stop bothering her.

Afterwards, only Qiu Chuji was anxious to return to Chongyang Palace, while Wang Chuyi and others went to Taihang Mountain to relax.
That’s why Zhao Zhijing said, “It’s deserved.”

"Zhi Jing, has anything important happened in Chongyang Palace in the past six months?"

All the Taoists returned to the mountain together. Qiu Chuji walked with Zhao Zhijing and asked.

"Reporting to Master Qiu, something did happen."

When Cui Zhifang found Zhao Zhijing just now, he said that Qiu Chuji and his group had just returned to the mountain, and immediately rushed around again because of the ancient tomb matter, so they had not had time to learn about the situation in Chongyang Palace in the past six months.

Zhao Zhijing picked out important matters, such as the emergence of a root of trouble near Xianyang City. He and his fellow apprentices Li Zhichang and others went down the mountain to investigate, and met their uncle Zhou and Ouyang Feng.

Then a few hours ago, Granny Sun from the Ancient Tomb Sect broke into Chongyang Palace at night, and then Xiaolongnu also showed up, but in the end she left safely after Uncle Hao nodded.

Qiu Chuji frowned, "You said that the old man and the young man from the Ancient Tomb Sect broke into Chongyang Palace tonight?"

Zhao Zhijing nodded and said, "Yes, fortunately there was no trouble. Uncle Hao remembered the ancestral relationship between the two sects and did not bother with them."

Qiu Chuji thought about how Xiao Longnu had just been a little rude to him, and thought to himself that there was actually this plot in between.

Maybe they mistakenly thought that we were saying one thing in public and doing another in private, so they followed and monitored us after they left.

"Yang Guo."

"That child that Guo Jing brought to the mountain half a year ago, how is he doing now? Has he done anything reckless?"

Just now when Ouyang Feng mentioned Yang Guo, although Qiu Chuji suppressed the words immediately, he couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

His father, Yang Kang, was also a talented and handsome man, but he was neglected in his education and eventually went astray.

Recalling the scene when Yang Guo first arrived at Chongyang Palace, a skinny and young child deceived Lu Qingdu, a disciple of Zhao Zhijing who was many times more muscular than him, and almost killed him in the sea of fire.

How similar is this cunning and clever character to his father?
"Yang Guo is a very good child, smart and well-behaved, with outstanding talent. Among those useless disciples, he is an outstanding one!"

Zhao Zhijing had roughly guessed Qiu Chuji's thoughts from the attitude he expressed when he asked the question. Although he knew that Qiu Chuji felt guilty for "not teaching strictly enough and being a lazy teacher", he still took the opportunity to stab him secretly.

Whether it is Yang Kang or Zhen Zhibing, they can be said to run through decades before and after The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes. You are really good at finding scenes when it comes to accepting disciples.

Because Yang Kang was indulged, Yang Guo thought that strict teachers produce good students and beatings produce filial sons, so he made a 360-degree turn in his approach.

In this era, it cannot be said that there was anything wrong with it, but he did not use his own apprentice Zhen Zhibing, a good candidate who had an old friendship with Guo Jing and whose martial arts skills were almost the same as Zhao Zhijing.

He immediately handed Yang Guo over to Zhao Zhijing.

It is hard to judge whether Qiu Chuji thinks too highly of himself or has low emotional intelligence. After spending nearly half a year together, Zhao Zhijing already knows that Yang Guo can be taught well. The reason why he betrayed his teacher and ran away was largely because he entrusted the wrong person.

When Qiu Chuji heard this answer, he slowed down his pace a little, thinking that Zhao Zhijing seemed to be speaking in a sarcastic way, and asked again: "Is it really so?"

In fact, what Zhao Zhijing said was true, but Qiu Chuji had his own stereotype in his mind, so he thought it was sarcasm.

“How dare I say anything nonsense in front of Master Qiu? When I return to the palace, I will call Yang Guo over, and Master Qiu will know the answer as soon as he sees it.”

Over there, Li Zhichang saw that Zhao Zhijing was reluctant to mention the fact that Yang Guo had won first place in this year's four-generation disciple competition, and he felt it was inconvenient to interrupt casually.

Taking advantage of the night, he secretly tugged at the sleeve of his senior brother Zhen Zhibing, wanting to reveal the situation first, but Zhen Zhibing did not react at all and just kept walking.

"Brother Zhen and Master have been traveling outside for half a year. As soon as they returned to the mountain, they encountered the ancient tomb and Ouyang Feng's matter. I think they are too tired."

The group of Taoists returned to Chongyang Palace along the way. They spent the night there because Xiaolongnu broke into the mountain first and Ouyang Feng suddenly appeared later. They had no rest until almost the hour of Chou.

Although Qiu Chuji wanted to find Yang Guo to question him, it was getting too late. It was also the end of the year and there were many affairs in Chongyang Palace during the day, so it was better not to rush.

"Zhi Jing, go back and rest first. Tomorrow morning, bring Yang to the back hall. I want to test him personally."

Zhao Zhijing bowed and responded. Nothing he said just now was false. Of course, he was not afraid of your words of "fire refining real gold".

Qiu Chuji gave another order, asking all the Taoists to go back and rest, except for the three generations of disciples who were in charge of keeping watch. Then all the Taoists dispersed.

Zhao Zhijing glanced at Zhen Zhibing out of the corner of his eye. His fellow disciples Li Zhichang, Wang Zhitan and others had just found time to greet him, but Zhen Zhibing seemed a little absent-minded.

"You broke in on your own, so don't blame me for taking advantage of the situation."

Zhao Zhijing knew in his heart that many of the third-generation disciples had heard Ouyang Feng calling Yang Guo his son tonight, and there was a chance that someone with ulterior motives would make a big fuss about it.

But if you want to do it on the first day, I will naturally do it on the fifteenth. Then I will let you experience my methods.

After returning to the Taoist temple, Guan Man'er was still sleeping soundly. Zhao Zhijing covered him with the quilt that had been lifted up because he turned over.

The next morning came in a blink of an eye. Zhao Zhijing got up early and called Yang Guo. The master and disciple went to the back hall to pay a visit to Qiu Chuji.

Yang Guo's impression of Qiu Chuji was still the lesson he received when he first arrived at the mountain. He felt that this man was very unreasonable and would scold him for no reason, so he felt a little resentful of him.

He naturally didn't know that this was, in a sense, the son paying for his father's debt. Qiu Chuji just wanted to teach him a severe lesson so that he wouldn't follow the same wrong path as his father Yang Kang.

"Disciple Zhao Zhijing and his disciple Yang Guo come to pay respects to Uncle Master Qiu and Uncle Master Hao."

This rear hall is an important place in Chongyang Palace, enshrining the portrait of Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect.

Generally, they would only come here during important festivals or when the Seven Sons of Quanzhen wanted to discuss something important.

After traveling through time, this was the first time that Zhao Zhijing came here. When he saw the portrait of Master Chongyang, he felt that he was heroic, elegant and extraordinary, and was indeed a rare and extraordinary man in the world.

"The Chongyang Patriarch is unique, and he is indeed quite romantic."
