Business congratulations · He Shaqi book
He knelt on the ground and confessed: "My master is Ling Xuzi, Cui Haikong from Bai Shidong, Nanhai Juping Island. My original name was Yang Li, and my master was friends with Master Lu. I often accompanied him to visit Tu'er Cliff, which is how I met Master Lu's sister. On the day I went to Xuansheng Cave to ask for her guidance on swordsmanship, she was in trouble. Luckily, I met Extreme Joy True Person halfway, who pointed me in the right direction, and I changed my surname and name, voluntarily becoming a disciple of Jin Xunü and entering Ziyun Palace with Master Lu's sister to help her escape. Now that you know everything from start to finish, I have my own master and cannot enter another sect." He kowtowed twice to Yue Qinglian, "Firstly, thank you for saving Master Lu's sister from the demon cave, and secondly, thank you for valuing me and giving me precious treasures." He took out his twin swords and handed them over with both hands, "My heart is set on this, whether I live or die, it all depends on your decision."
Liu Bu Xū stood beside him, smiling and saying: "This kid is quite stubborn, but he doesn't forget his roots, that's good."
Yue Qing waved his hand to stop Lu Rongbo, and said to Yang Li: "You take the sword first, and I'll write a letter to repair it. You can bring it back to your master together. Don't worry, we are also old friends with your master. In those days, I owed him a favor and got a pot of Liu Yang's bone-changing elixir from him. At that time, you hadn't even entered the door yet. So, you don't have to be afraid. Even if you don't want to be my disciple, you should still call me 'Master Aunt'." After finishing speaking, he let someone prepare pen and ink, wrote a letter, and handed it over to Yang Li.
Yang Li heard him say that and finally put his mind at ease. He took over the letter, bowed to Yue Qing in gratitude, and then bid farewell and left to return to Nanhai.
Liu Bu said, "Yue Shixiong, are you sure? Don't lose both your disciple and the flying sword. I remember that pair of Flying Star Swords was given to you by Taiyi Shibo himself back then."
Yue Qingdao said, "I'll have Shi Chuan fly the sword over to Yang Li, which will imply that I'm entrusting him with the third generation of the Wutai Sect's leadership. I'll also give him a generous gift personally, and he won't dare refuse. Moreover, he's well aware of our relationship with Emei, so he wouldn't dare offend them, nor would he dare offend us."
Liu Buxu said: "Yue Shixiong, you really are generous. You haven't even become the sect leader yet, and you've already promised someone else to be the sect leader."
Yue Qing smiled and beckoned to Si Tu Ping, who was chatting with Wei Yan. In three years, Si Tu Ping had transformed from a pampered child who needed to be carried everywhere into a rambunctious little boy who ran wild on the mountain, eating well and sleeping soundly. The Liu brothers treated him like their own disciple, teaching him everything they knew, and even his senior brother Wei Yan looked out for him. He had shaken off his former miserable fate as an orphan, and was no longer timid or self-abasing. Plump and lively, with a quick smile: "Master, after you left I missed you so much! Once I dreamed of you while sleeping, and I woke up crying... Master, this time don't go, okay? If you must leave, take me with you!"
Yue Qing patted his head: "Alright, but it depends on your progress in your studies."
Situ Ping hastily said: "I have already cultivated all five elements of Tai Chi, and now I am cultivating the Tai Yi Xuan Gong taught by Master Liu."
Yue Qing had already seen that Situ Ping's qualifications were indeed extraordinary, and he was willing to work hard and make progress, which was quite rapid.
"Alright! This time, Master will take you back to Wutai Mountain and refine a good treasure for you." Yue Qing put down Si Tu Ping, letting him go with Wei Cun to see his master sister Lu Rongbo.
At this time, Liu Quan came over to apologize: "I wasn't able to bring back the He Sha Qi book, please punish me, older brother."
Yue Qing smiled and said: "Although we haven't been together for these few years, the flying sword has been constantly transmitting books back and forth. I already know everything about you. That He Sha Qi book was originally something from someone else's school."
Liu Bu's hurried footsteps were heard as he came over to ask: "What's going on with that Hei Sha Qi book? I asked Liu Shi Di and he wouldn't say either."
Yue Qing pointed at Liu Quan: "You say it."
Liu Quan first apologized to Liu Bu: "This matter concerns the secrets of both factions, and I didn't dare to spread it without the permission of my senior brother. Please forgive me." Liu Bu quickly said it was no big deal and asked him to speak quickly. Liu Quan then said: "Everyone knows that He Sha Dao Zhang is one of three brothers, with Da Fang Zhen Ren Shen Tuo Yi Xiu being the eldest. He Sha Dao Zhang is the second, and the youngest is Tie Gu Xian Zhou Meng. Zhou Xian has three disciples, Zhu Que, Shang Zhu, and Wei Ji, collectively known as the Zhongnan San Sha. He Sha Dao Zhang and Zhou Meng are from the same generation as Emei San Lao, so the Zhongnan San Sha is actually of the same generation as Chang Mei Zhen Ren. I have only been living in seclusion on Zhongnan Mountain for a few years and have only heard people talk about them once. In the past, Zhu Que broke the rules and was punished along with Shang Zhu, while Wei Ji was the supervisor. Shang Zhu had taken the punishment for his fellow disciple out of loyalty and endured the wind and thunder tribulation without complaint. However, Zhu Que was treacherous and used flowery words to deceive Wei Ji into relaxing his guard, then killed him with the Tian Xin Shen Nu divine bow. He also took advantage of Zhou Xian's meditation to kill him."
"This week, I've heard of it." Liu Buxu said, "I heard my master mention it before. He and his senior brother helped the three old men of Emei in the East China Sea to defeat the Western Ocean Demon King Xuan Yuan Fa Wang's master and apprentice at Diaojiao Cliff, causing them to flee for their lives. Who would have thought that they were killed by their own disciples?"
Liu Quan said, "Zhou Xianren originally wanted to become a Golden Immortal like He Sha Daozhang, with his physical body flying up. However, He Sha Daozhang had already passed away for two or three hundred years, and he was still in the mortal world unable to achieve perfection. So he retreated and sought second best, wanting to attain the realm of a Heavenly Immortal. Who knew that he would be harmed by his disciples? He has lost patience and no longer wants to reincarnate and start anew. Instead, he directly ascended as an immortal."
Liu Quan sighed, "Fortunately, he had already calculated many things beforehand. Although he passed away one after another with Wei Ji, the seals he left behind were still in effect. Zhu Que was suppressed by the Primordial Five Elements True Energy on his shoulders, and was trapped in the mountain valley, unable to leave. I followed the position and location calculated by my senior brother, and found the He Sha Qi Shu there. On my way back, I encountered Shang Zhu, and we had a fierce battle. I was trapped by his Five Elements True Energy, just as I was about to escape with the He Sha Qi Shu, he stopped attacking and told me this story. Only then did I realize that the He Sha Qi Shu was actually the legacy of their sect, and it was also related to whether they could lift the seal on him and kill the traitor Zhu Que. So I returned the He Sha Qi Shu to him and helped him kill Zhu Que together."
"Afterwards, Shang Zhu led his younger brother to study the He Sha Qi Shu for over 70 days. He said that since I had a predestined relationship with this book, I could cultivate it together with him, but it was not allowed to be passed on to others."
Yue Qing nodded and said, "I originally let you go get the book because He Sha Daozhang had already ascended to heaven, and he didn't have a successor, so he didn't want the heavenly book to be buried in dust. As for Shang Zhu and Zhu Que's affairs, they were not important and did not appear in the divination symbols. What you did was also good, our sect's Tongxuan True Classic is the orthodox Taoist lineage of Lao Jun in the mortal world, not inferior to any other Taoist school in the world. Obtaining He Sha's strange book would be just adding flowers to brocade. Moreover, your help in killing the treacherous disciples with Shang Zhu was a great achievement in upholding the righteous energy of the world, and can be a model for all cultivators." He didn't have any regret or blame, but instead praised him highly, Liu Quan put down the heart that had been hanging for three years, and Lu Rongbo also secretly admired Yue Qing and the Wutai sect even more.
Afterwards, Yue Qing chatted with the Liu brothers again. Three years had passed, and the appearance of Mao Mountain had changed greatly. The five disciples of Liu Bu Xū were in charge of the Five Observatories. Now, only Baiyun Observatory and Yuchen Observatory received pilgrims from the foot of the mountain. Renyou Observatory and Deyou Observatory were responsible for training disciples. Each Daoist temple had more than 200 young Daoists learning to draw talismans, recite incantations, and summon spirits. Those with outstanding achievements entered Qianyuan Observatory to further study exorcisms and ghost-catching, as well as pray for blessings and invite gods. Liu Bu Xuan's three disciples were in charge of the Three Palaces. Chong Xi Palace was responsible for discipline, supervising the rules and regulations of the Mao Mountain sect. Yuán Fú Palace was responsible for transmitting the teachings, and those with superior qualifications and intuition could enter Yuán Fú Palace to learn the true immortal arts. Jiǔ Xiāo Palace was a place where high-ranking Daoists would retreat to meditate and study Daoist scriptures together.
Yue Qing's eyes lit up, and the business model of the Mao Shan Sect had some meaning similar to modern enterprise management. It was different from any other Taoist sect in the world today. Perhaps it was because the Mao Shan Sect had a deep foothold in secular society. According to his knowledge, the Mao Shan Sect had many industries in the mortal world, including farmland, gardens, shops, and banks, which were even more prosperous than many large families that had been passed down for hundreds of years. It's not surprising that the Mao Shan Sect has developed to this point. This model has its pros and cons compared to traditional master-disciple inheritance, and it's hard to say who is better or worse for the time being. When the Wu Tai Sect develops in the future, he will take the helm, but he still needs to study how to operate specifically.
Yue Qing stayed on Mao Mountain for another month: "Now that my Taoist skills are just beginning to take shape, this time when I return, I will have to thoroughly overhaul the rules of our sect, re-establish the framework, and make a big move. As for those fellow disciples of ours, they usually behave in such a way, I'm sure everyone has an idea in their minds, so it's easy to imagine the resistance we'll face this time. Therefore, we must plan carefully, otherwise, if we're not careful, we'll end up with a bad reputation and all these years of hard work will be wasted."
Xu Fei's face was serious: "Others are nothing to worry about, with you and me here we can suppress them. But there is one thing that worries me - our Shifu, he thinks the Five Tai Sect's rules are just child's play, he won't bother to ask questions. However, if he finds out you've obtained the Taìyī Wǔ Yānluó, not to mention the Hùnyuàn Fù Cè and Tōng Xuán Zhēn Jīng, he will definitely not let it go easily. He'll make a big fuss, and even if we're lucky, we'll just end up with egg on our faces. If he gets angry and uses those twelve secret magic thunderbolts of the Small and Large Heavenly Gates, the entire Five Tai Mountain will be destroyed. What can we do then?"
