When Qiu Chuji heard Hao Datong's question, he couldn't help but sigh and said slowly: "I did have such thoughts before. However, after what happened to Zhao Zhijing, I completely gave up this thought."

Hao Datong was puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"

Qiu Chuji looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you don't know. Although Ye Fan and Yang Guo are both highly skilled in martial arts and have good moral character, they are admirable. But they are no longer members of our Quanzhen Sect.

You must know that the position of the head of Quanzhen Sect must be inherited by a disciple of the sect, so that he can win the support of the people.

Besides, they all have their own paths to follow, and we cannot force them."

Hao Datong listened, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Brother, what you said is very true. But now my Quanzhen Sect is short of talents, how to develop in the future is indeed a big problem."

Qiu Chuji was silent for a moment, then said with emotion: "This disaster has made us deeply aware of our own shortcomings.

In the past, we attached too much importance to martial arts, which seriously deviated from the original intention of our cultivation.

We should ask our disciples to cultivate their moral character in the future, but we don’t need to be too demanding when it comes to martial arts.”

Liu Chuxuan interrupted with a serious expression, "Brother, you are absolutely right! It is truly unfortunate that our Quanzhen Sect has suddenly encountered such a disaster.

If it weren't for Yin Zhiping, Li Zhichang and other fellow disciples who remained steadfast and unyielding and risked their lives to protect the reputation of our sect, I'm afraid the good reputation that our sect has accumulated over the past decades would have been completely destroyed by the hands of that shameless traitor Zhao Zhijing!

"I think that the Quanzhen Sect has always put chivalry first and has strict rules, but I didn't expect such a treacherous person to appear. It is really heartbreaking!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Buer nodded repeatedly and responded with a look of pain on his face, "That's true! After this disaster, we must reflect deeply and learn lessons from it.

In the future, we must further strengthen the supervision of the conduct of the disciples in the sect to prevent the emergence of traitors like Zhao Zhijing, which would bring disaster to our sect.

Only in this way can we revive the glory of our sect and live up to its name."

Wang Chuyi, who was standing by, could not help but look embarrassed when he heard what the two were saying. After all, Zhao Zhijing was his first disciple, and he had high hopes for him and taught him carefully.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhijing actually committed such a heinous crime of apostasy, which not only brought shame to the Quanzhen Sect, but also brought shame to him as a master.

Thinking of this, Wang Chuyi felt guilty and remorseful, and said with deep regret: "Alas, it is all my fault that I failed to teach him the right way, which led to the disaster today.

From now on, I will be more careful and strictly discipline my disciples, and never let such tragedies happen again! "

After saying that, he sighed heavily, his eyes full of regret.

Qiu Chuji looked at Wang Chuyi's self-blaming expression, sighed slightly, and said: "Junior brother, don't blame yourself too much. Zhao Zhijing's fault lies in his own bad intentions, not your teaching.

Now we should learn from this incident and work together to revive our Quanzhen Sect."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Qiu Chuji continued, "From now on, we should pay more attention to the cultivation of the moral character of our disciples, so that they can understand what is the right path and what is chivalrous. At the same time, we should also strengthen the training of our disciples' martial arts, but we should not rush for quick results, but proceed step by step."

Liu Chuxuan said: "Brother, what you said is very true. We can also invite the Taoist masters from the two religions of Da Dao and Tai Yi to give lectures in our school, so that the disciples can learn from others' strengths and broaden their horizons."

Sun Buer nodded slightly, expressing his approval, and said, "This plan is very clever! We should indeed have more exchanges with the Da Dao and Tai Yi sects.

In this way, they can discuss in depth the ways of martial arts and the mysterious methods of cultivation.

By learning from each other, we will be able to learn from each other’s strengths and overcome our weaknesses, thus achieving the goal of common progress and common improvement.”

Back in the day, during the Northern Song Dynasty, there was only one Taoist school, the Zhengyi school, which had always been led by Zhang Tianshi who lived in Longhu Mountain in Shanxi.

However, since the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains and the Song Dynasty was forced to move south, three new Taoist sects have sprung up in the Hebei area, namely the current Quanzhen, Dadao and Taiyi sects.

Among these three religions, Quanzhen Sect is the most prosperous.

In the past, Quanzhen Sect would not have too much communication and exchanges with its competitors, especially Dadao Sect and Taiyi Sect. After all, Quanzhen Sect was at its peak at that time and had its own pride and confidence.

But now, after experiencing this great disaster, everyone in Quanzhen Sect has deeply realized their own shortcomings and limitations.

They understand that in this ever-changing world, standing still will only lead to their gradual decline.

Qiu Chuji pondered for a moment and said, "Now we should put aside our past prejudices and arrogance and take the initiative to communicate with the Great Dao Sect and the Taiyi Sect.

This is not only for our disciples to learn more knowledge and skills, but also for the prosperity and development of Taoism as a whole.

Our three religions have the same origin. Although we have some differences in concepts and methods, our ultimate goal is to pursue the true meaning of Taoism and seek the well-being of all people in the world."

At this moment, Ma Yu's weak voice suddenly came from behind everyone, "Junior Brother Qiu is right. Our Quanzhen Sect has been complacent for so many years. It's time to seek some changes."

The five Quanzhen disciples quickly turned around and saw Yin Zhiping standing not far away, carefully supporting Ma Yu.

Qiu Chuji hurried forward and said with concern, "Brother, your illness is not yet healed, how can you walk around so easily!"

Ma Yu shook his head slowly and said, "My time has come. There is nothing human can do. Instead of lying in bed waiting to die, I might as well go out for a walk."

After hearing what Ma Yu said, everyone felt nervous.

Qiu Chuji's eyes were slightly red, and he said, "Brother, don't say that. You will definitely get better."

Ma Yu smiled slightly, but his expression was very calm. "Life and death are determined by fate. There is no need to force it. I am just worried about the future of Quanzhen Sect. Now that there is a new direction, I can rest assured."

He looked at everyone and said slowly: "The exchange and cooperation with the Da Dao Sect and the Tai Yi Sect must be implemented as soon as possible. We must let the Quan Zhen Sect regain its vitality and continue to contribute to the people of the world."

Yin Zhiping nodded and said, "Master, rest assured, we disciples will work hard and live up to your expectations."

Ma Yu looked at Qiu Chuji and the others again, "You must also work together to lead the Quanzhen Sect out of its predicament. I believe that as long as we stick to the right path, the Quanzhen Sect will rise again."

Everyone responded solemnly.

Ma Yu looked at everyone with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. Although his body was weak, his spirit seemed particularly vigorous.

Then, he took out a letter from his bosom with a slight tremor, handed it to Qiu Chuji and said, "You should all remember this letter, right? I originally planned to take it to the grave, but now Miss Long has done such a great favor to my sect, let's return it to her."
