The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 151: Quanzhen Sect Bet, Yang Kang and his Son Seek the Throne

Mount Zhongnan, Chongyang Palace of Quanzhen Sect.

Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, Hao Datong and other seven Quanzhen disciples gathered here. The atmosphere in the hall was very solemn. The candlelight was dim, reflecting the shadows of several people swaying on the wall.

Ma Yu, the Danyangzi who was sitting at the top, looked at his fellow apprentices and sighed inwardly, "Brothers and sisters, you all know the news from the north. In the past two years, the situation in the world has been changing rapidly, and the future is uncertain."

"I don't know what course of action should be taken by the Quanzhen Sect. I have thought about it for a long time but still cannot make a decision. The burden of the Quanzhen Sect is on our shoulders. If the Quanzhen Sect is destroyed in our hands, how can we face our master in the afterlife?" His words were calm but full of anxiety.

In fact, Su Ming had told him about this matter a long time ago, but the matter was of great importance and it was difficult for him to make a decision, so he could only discuss it with everyone.

Qiu Chuji, who was standing by, was wearing a loose Taoist robe. After returning from Prince Zhao's mansion, he had been practicing martial arts with great concentration. His temperament was much calmer than before. He adjusted the Taoist hat on his head and said, "It is true. The Mongolian army in the north suddenly emerged and defeated the Jin Dynasty step by step. This scene reminded me of the Jurchen tribe back then."

"The rise and fall of dynasties often takes only a few years. Who would have thought that the Jin Dynasty, which was at its peak two years ago, would encounter a powerful enemy like Genghis Khan? In my opinion, the Jin Dynasty is already a dead end, and we'd better make preparations early."

Then, Iron-footed Immortal King Chuyi also nodded, "Brother, what you said is right. The Jin Kingdom occupies the richest land in the Central Plains. To the north is Mongolia, and to the south is the Song Dynasty. They are now attacked from both sides, which is very similar to the Liao Kingdom a hundred years ago. Even if the Song Dynasty is in trouble, it can still retreat to the south, but the Jin Kingdom has no way to retreat, not to mention that Mongolia and the Song Dynasty have already formed an alliance."

Tan Chuduan was tall and thin, sitting on the futon like a pine tree. He expressed a different opinion, "Brother, we have already reached a tacit understanding with the Jin court. If we bet on Mongolia so early, it will probably cause dissatisfaction among the Jin people, which will be a major blow to our Quanzhen Sect."

As for why he did not help the Song Dynasty, I can only say that those who understand will understand that he was a hopeless person. If Yue Fei had appeared in other dynasties, he might have been the next Guo Ziyi, but the rulers and ministers of the Song Dynasty wanted to destroy their own city walls, and no one could help.

Hearing this, the wrinkles on Ma Yu's face deepened, and he said with a bit of bitterness, "Yes, this is also why I have been hesitant. Although Mongolia is strong, Jin has the advantage of terrain. If they use the dangerous pass to contain the Mongolian offensive, once they have recovered, the situation will become even more confusing."

"Back then, Wanyan Aguda rose from the White Mountains and Black Waters and defeated the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. Although they have lost the northern grasslands, their strength is still there and should not be underestimated."

After all, Ma Yu grew up in an era when the Jin Dynasty was the most powerful country in the world, and he did not believe that such a powerful country would fall just like that.

Qiu Chuji suffered a loss at the hands of Wanyan Honglie, and coupled with Yang Kang's incident, he hated the Jin people even more. He immediately retorted, "Brother, what you said is wrong. I think that if we hesitate, we will suffer from chaos. The Mongols are at their peak, with the momentum of swallowing up thousands of miles like a tiger. On the other hand, the Jin Kingdom is in collusion with each other, corrupt and decadent, with people doing nothing. How can it resist the offensive of Mongolia? The Liao Kingdom could not stop the Jin people back then, and the Jin people now can't stop the Mongols either."

"In my opinion, the best strategy is for us to contact the Mongols as early as possible and help them defeat the Jin people."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell into deep thought. Should they take action at this time and break off relations with the Jin people?
After a long while, Ma Yu let out a long breath, as if to completely vent all the depression in his heart, "How about this, there is no need to be blatant about this matter, do it quietly, the Jin Kingdom still occupies the Central Plains and is still powerful, we can't do it too ugly, so as not to lose the room for easing the situation."

As he spoke, he glanced at his fellow disciples and asked, "Who among you is willing to go to Mongolia and meet Genghis Khan on behalf of the Quanzhen Sect?"

Sun Buer is a Kun Taoist, and it is obviously impossible for her to travel thousands of miles to the desert. First of all, she is excluded, and then there are Wang Chuyi, Qiu Chuji and the other five people. Ma Yu is the head of Quanzhen Sect, and he has to stay in Zhongnan Mountain, so he naturally cannot leave easily.

"Brother, I don't speak Mongolian, so it would be useless for me to go." Wang Chuyi was the first to refuse, followed by Tan Chuduan, Hao Datong, and Liu Chuxuan. Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Qiu Chuji.

Ma Yu stroked his beard and asked, "Junior brother, I remember you went to the desert more than ten years ago. Can you speak Mongolian?"

Qiu Chuji smiled and said teasingly, "I went to the grassland to find Guo Xiaotian's son. I learned Mongolian. I didn't expect it to be useful now. Leave this matter to me. I will definitely not let you down."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and continued, "Brother, I heard that Guo Jing is now the consort of Genghis Khan, and he led his troops to capture Xijing not long ago. I think that if we want to meet Genghis Khan, we should meet him first. With him as the middleman, this matter will be much easier to handle."

When Qiu Chuji said this, Ma Yu's eyes suddenly flashed with the image of the young boy from that year. Thinking about the news from the north, he couldn't help but feel that things had changed. "Speaking of this child, I remember an old story. Back then, you made a pact with the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. Senior Brother was afraid that they would lose, so he went to the desert to teach him the Quanzhen Sect's internal skills. Time flies, and it has been several years."

When talking about the bet with the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan, Qiu Chuji laughed out loud and didn't take it seriously. "Haha, it turns out that senior brother also contributed to this." He accepted the defeat with a sincere heart.

In terms of martial arts, Yang Kang is not as good as Guo Jing. In terms of character, Yang Kang recognizes a thief as his father, which makes him a complete failure. Thinking of the emaciated figure in the back mountain, Qiu Chuji regretted it deeply.

But now, it's too late to say anything. He has already walked the entire road and there is no room for redemption.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and his expression became dull and his eyes were staring straight ahead.

Wang Chuyi, who was standing by, saw that something was wrong with him and came over to greet him: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Junior brother, I just thought of something important!"

Hao Datong on the other side asked curiously, "What's the big deal? Why did it make you lose your composure like this?"

He took a deep breath, suppressed his restlessness, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think, is it possible for Guo Jing to rule the world and become the king of the Han people?" Without waiting for their rebuttal, he continued, "That child is a confidant of Genghis Khan. He is leading his troops to attack Taiyuan. Once he takes Taiyuan, the entire Shanxi Province in Hedong will fall under his control. This place is the foundation of the kingship. Who knows, there may be a chance for him to succeed."

Silence, a long silence. Several people seemed to be shocked by Qiu Chuji's idea and were speechless for a long time. It was Wang Chuyi who broke the frozen atmosphere first, "Brother, you must be joking. Guo Jing is only 20 years old. How can he control the situation?"

Tan Chuduan and others also laughed out loud, saying that he was daydreaming.

After hearing this, Qiu Chuji's excited mood slowly calmed down. Yes, twenty years old is too young. Who would pin their future on a twenty-year-old?

But he still had a little ambition in his heart. At the age of 20, he was still so young that he might have a chance. He would not tell others about this.

However, Ma Yu, who was sitting under the statue of Wang Chongyang, was suddenly lost in memories. He thought of his teacher Guo Jing. This person left a deep impression on him. He had predicted today's situation two years ago. And Guo Jing was his disciple. Could it be that he really could not accomplish anything?
For a moment, he became excited. Rather than cooperating with Mongolia, he would rather help his own people. If Guo Jing really rises, what a bright future the Quanzhen Sect will have.

A few days later, at the foot of Mount Zhongnan, Qiu Chuji was about to set off. Ma Yu and others saw him off. Before leaving, Ma Yu advised, "Brother, when you go to Mongolia this time, I suggest you observe this boy carefully to see if he can accomplish great things. If he is not an ordinary general and has the potential to be a leader, we might as well make plans early."

Qiu Chuji's eyes widened instantly. He had never expected that his usually conservative senior brother would be so bold and take such a big step. "Senior brother, do you really think Guo Jing has a chance to achieve great things?"

Ma Yu showed a mysterious smile and did not answer. Since he did not say anything, Qiu Chuji did not want to ask any more questions. He waved his hand and rode away on his horse.

……

The world was in turmoil and the situation was unpredictable, but Su Ming, who was far away outside the city of Xiangyang, was enjoying himself in the valley and was not affected at all.

"Bang, bang!"

A dull sound accompanied the rushing water. Beside the waterfall, a man and an eagle were competing with each other. Su Ming was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a heavy black iron sword in his hand. He opened and closed the sword with great force, looking simple and solemn, guarding the gate tightly.

The eagle's wings vibrated, stirring up strong winds with great force, and each time they collided with the heavy sword, a dull sound was made.

To date, Su Ming's swordsmanship has undergone tremendous changes. Every move he makes has gone beyond the framework of Quanzhen swordsmanship. His sword drawing and sword retracting are simple and concise, without any unnecessary movements.

Often a light cut or stab carries tremendous force, either forcing the eagle to change its tactics or taking the blow itself.

The eagle has also undergone a transformation in the past two years. The exposed tumor on its head is no longer ugly, and feathers have slowly grown on it. At the same time, the thick and dense feathers on its body have also begun to change. Originally, it could only flap and jump a few hundred meters, but now it can fly for a short period of time in the jungle.

All this is also due to the fact that it absorbs the scattered true qi around Su Ming every day and breathes in and out on its own. Although it cannot cultivate true qi like humans, it has accelerated its metabolism to a certain extent and expelled the snake venom accumulated inside the body.

The Bosuqu snake is a different species and is a great tonic. The eagle feeds on it and has eaten countless of them over the past few decades. Every time it is bitten by the snake, although it is not fatal, over time, the snake venom accumulates in its body, slowly making the feathers on its head become sparse and its whole body look ugly.

Come to think of it, Dugu Qiubai was such a powerful figure, invincible in the world, but he lived in the mountains. If he only saw such an ugly thing every day, he would definitely give it a beating.

Eagles are supposed to soar in the sky, what would it be like if they became a running chicken?

The man and the eagle were having a lot of fun fighting, and Su Ming was also immersed in the atmosphere of the competition. His swordsmanship was also slowly changing, from making light of heavy objects to being skillful and unskillful. A seemingly ordinary sword move was actually extremely exquisite and did not reveal its true power.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, the eagle stopped flapping its wings and called out to Su Ming.

He immediately understood, stuck his sword into the ground, walked to the waterfall to wash his body, and the eagle also ran to the pool to drink water frantically. They had just fought for two hours and it was thirsty.

After taking a shower, Su Ming changed his clothes, walked to the rattan chair beside the pond and lay down, his mind sinking into his sea of ​​consciousness:

Mirror Owner: Su Ming

World: The Legend of the Condor Heroes
Identity: Guo Jing's teacher

Origin of the World: 583,718
Degree of world collapse: 58.37 percent.

Number of time and space reflections captured: zero
After taking a look at the progress of the world's collapse, Su Ming stopped watching it. He thought that there might be some changes when the progress of the world's collapse reached 50%, but the Kunlun Mirror did not move at all.

But he was not disappointed. If I gain it, I am lucky, if I lose it, it is my fate. If the plot collapses halfway, it means that everything is on the right track. Guo Jing has completely deviated from his original fate and embarked on a different path. Mongolia and the Jin Dynasty started a war again. The Jin Dynasty would definitely lose this battle. There is no need to say much about Genghis Khan's military talent. He wanted to know how much benefit Guo Jing could gain from this war.

I guess when I see him next time, he will have become a local lord.

……

Zhongdu of the Jin Dynasty.

The panic brought about by the defeat in the war spread throughout the city, but the people still lived their lives as usual without much change. The war would at most cause food prices to go up or taxes to be increased, but people still lived their lives as usual.

As soon as Yang Kang came back from outside, he was called to Wanyan Honglie by a servant. Wanyan Honglie sat at the head of the table and asked in a gentle tone, "Kang'er, is there any unusual movement in the Quanzhen Sect?"

"Father, the disciples of Quanzhen Sect have helped us lobby the various families in accordance with the previous agreement and have not taken any actions that violate the decision."

The wrinkles at the corners of Wanyan Honglie's eyes relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief with barely perceptible intensity. The situation in the court was tense, the Mongolian army was approaching, and the emperor became seriously ill out of fear. He had seen many doctors but none of them could cure him. For him, the critical moment of life and death had finally arrived.

The emperor was seriously ill, which meant that the opportunity for succession to the throne was about to come. The ministers in the court had been clamoring to establish a crown prince these days, but Wanyan Honglie suppressed his officials and remained silent. Contrary to his usual practice, he stayed in the palace to serve the emperor. His intentions were very obvious.

The Jin Dynasty ruled the Central Plains for hundreds of years. The upper echelons were heavily influenced by Han culture and the concept of filial piety was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Not fighting was the beginning of fighting. At this time, being too aggressive would make the emperor suspicious.

Suddenly, Wanyan Honglie said something that surprised Yang Kang very much.

"That's enough, Kang'er, you should pack your luggage early."

Yang Kang was startled, then reacted, "Father, do you want me to do something?"

Wanyan Honglie nodded and waved at him, "This matter concerns the future of the Great Jin Kingdom and the escape route for our father and son. You must be cautious and listen closely."
