Mu Qingxiao nodded and said, "If we let the Mongols rule the Central Plains, it will be the darkest period of blood and tears in the history of the Song Dynasty. How can the light of a firefly illuminate this dark night? I came to find you because of this."
"Hmm, why do you say so?"
"You don't have to pretend to be polite with me. I am the Master of the Hall of the Nine Clouds. I wonder if Master Qiu is interested in the affairs of the world?"
Hearing Mu Qingxiao's words, Qiu Jichu looked at him in a daze.
The Master of the Hall of the Nine Clouds!
This was even more shocking than when he found out he was a Great Grandmaster!
Although the Quanzhen Seven Masters had been living in seclusion in Chongyang Palace, they knew the news of the outside world like the back of their hand. They had close to a hundred thousand followers.
How could Qiu Jichu not know the name of the Hall of the Nine Clouds?
It had only been two years since the Nine Firmaments Hall had begun to develop, but all the capable people in the hall had emerged.
Moreover, they were all unyielding heroes. Regardless of fame or fortune, they were protecting their homeland. Naturally, Qiu Jichu admired them very much.
The Hall of the Nine Clouds had risen rapidly. The Master of the Hall of the Nine Clouds was even more mysterious. No one knew the identity of the Master of the Hall of the Nine Clouds.
Now, the Master of the Hall of the Nine Clouds was sitting in front of him and asking if he was interested in the affairs of the world.
Qiu Jichu did not doubt Mu Qingxiao's identity at all. The latter was a Great Grandmaster. He would not tell such a lie. This also matched the rumors in Jianghu. The Master of the Hall of the Nine Clouds was a peerless master!
A peerless Great Grandmaster definitely had the qualifications and the right to establish such a force. No wonder the royal family did not dare to interfere.
Everyone in Jianghu was guessing the background of the Hall of the Nine Clouds. Now, the mysterious veil of the Hall of the Nine Clouds was unveiled. Its background was not only big, it was big to the point of being scary!
Who didn't know about the Five Absolutes? Who didn't know about them? But compared to a peerless Martial Grandmaster, the difference was not just a little bit!
Qiu Chuji sucked in a breath of cold air, and his body trembled slightly. In his eyes, Mu Qingxiao was a hero who served the country and the people. What she was doing now coincided with his thoughts.
The enemies that the Hall of the Nine Clouds faced were extremely strong, but they did not hesitate. For their homeland, they laid down their heads and shed their blood. Compared to him who could only live in seclusion in Chongyang Palace, they were much more noble!
What the Hall of the Nine Clouds did was exactly what he wanted to do but could not do. Qiu Jichu admired them from the bottom of his heart.
"It turns out that the Temple Master has graced Quanzhen with his presence. This humble Taoist has been impolite." Qiu Chuji bowed slightly. His eyes were full of shock, and his tone was somewhat excited.
Based on Mu Qingxiao's words and his identity, Qiu Chuji could already guess the latter's intentions for coming to Quanzhen. His heart was filled with excitement.
Ever since the Martial Grandmaster Wang Chongyang passed away, Quanzhen was not what it used to be. It was not an exaggeration to say that it had declined. Now, the Hall of the Nine Clouds was at its peak. Moreover, it was to protect his homeland. Naturally, Qiu Chuji wanted to participate.
Now that he knew that the Temple Master of the Hall of the Nine Clouds was Mu Qingxiao, his faith in the Hall of the Nine Clouds grew even stronger.
In the past, Quanzhen and the Jin Kingdom were deeply involved. Although there were not many rumors about it in the secular world, it left a bad impression in many people's hearts.
If he could use this matter to restore Quanzhen's prestige, the Martial Grandmaster Wang Chongyang would probably jump out of his coffin in joy.
Looking at Qiu Chuji's excited expression, Mu Qingxiao smiled faintly. Everything was under control. The reason he came to Quanzhen was because of Qiu Chuji's temperament. If it were someone else, he would not have come personally.
Originally, Mu Qingxiao had many candidates in mind, but he still chose Quanzhen. Although there was scum like Zhao Zhijing, it would not affect him much.
As for the bald donkeys from Shaolin, even though they had sealed themselves off from the world, how could they not know anything about the outside world?
Even if Shaolin agreed to fight against the Mongols in the end, it was definitely for the sake of fame and fortune. However, Qiu Chuji was different. He had a pure heart to serve the country and its people.
Therefore, if he had to choose between Shaolin and Quanzhen, he chose Quanzhen without hesitation.
"Master, this is a serious matter. I hope you will consider it carefully."
Qiu Chuji was a smart person. His reaction speed was naturally faster than others. He could make the right choice at the crucial moment. Otherwise, he would not have been able to sit in the position of the Hierarch.
In his eyes, a Great Grandmaster represented endless possibilities. He was infinitely close to the Great Dao. He did not know how powerful a Great Grandmaster was, but the Martial Grandmaster of Quanzhen, Wang Chongyang, was only a Great Grandmaster.
Although there was only a difference of one word, the difference between these two realms was like heaven and earth. They could not be mentioned in the same breath.
With a Great Grandmaster in charge, the possibility of the Mongols invading the Central Plains was not high. Even if he did not agree, Mu Qingxiao would find another sect.
"Temple Master, you are right. This humble Taoist is also hot-blooded. I believe that most people in the Central Plains are the same. Quanzhen is the leader of the righteous sects. It is our duty to fight against the Mongols."
Hearing this, Mu Qingxiao's lips curled into a smile. Qiu Chuji did not let him down.
He liked to deal with smart people. If the latter had hesitated or tried to bargain, he would have turned around and left.
Now, with Qiu Chuji as the leader, it was equivalent to Quanzhen having close to a hundred thousand disciples. Even if he did not do anything, he was confident that they could resist the Mongols.
Immediately after, Mu Qingxiao took out the Nine Yin Manual that he had already copied from his sleeve and handed it to Qiu Chuji. "Taoist priest, since we've already reached an agreement, I have an inner strength mantra here. Perhaps it can help you enter the Grandmaster realm."
In his opinion, Qiu Chuji's delay in entering the Grandmaster Realm might have something to do with his talent. However, the biggest problem was that he cultivated Quanzhen's internal strength cultivation method.
Wang Chongyang had indeed defeated all the heroes in the first Sword Meet on Mount Hua and won the title of the world's number one Great Grandmaster. However, this was under the premise that he cultivated the Nine Yin Manual.
The Quanzhen Seven Masters were already in their fifties and sixties. They had already mastered all the martial arts that they needed to learn.
However, they still had not entered the Grandmaster Realm. Back then, when Huo Dou and Da 'erba first went to Mount Zhongnan, Hao Datong was actually injured. It was only when Guo Jing arrived that the danger was resolved. It was clear that their martial arts had deteriorated.
A higher level of martial arts cultivation method could often allow one to walk further on the path of martial arts. This was without a doubt.
In the plot, when Li Mochou and Yang Guo fought, Yang Guo used the Quanzhen Sword Technique, "One Qi Into Three Pure Ones", against A gang of beggars.
Although the sword technique was not as good as Qiu Chuji's, Li Mochou, as a bystander, commented, "If I had another ten years, I would not be a match for this little Taoist."
However, he did not know that Yang Guo had cultivated the Nine Yin Manual and the Nine Yin Manual to achieve this effect. Thus, Li Mochou's misconception.
