Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 101 The time is wrong!

"That's it!"

"Then I'll go meet him!" Qiu Chuji thought about it and said.

He really wanted to hear what Ouyang Feng planned to give in exchange for his freedom.

After all, Qiu Chuji had let him escape several times. Now he wanted to redeem himself, but the price would be quite high.

Now Qiu Chuji doesn't really care whether to let Ouyang Feng go, but... why?

This guy made him feel a little uncomfortable, so being imprisoned until death was also bad luck for him.

Seeing Qiu Chuji was willing to meet Ouyang Feng, Hao Datong blushed slightly, then scratched his head in embarrassment: "Brother! Actually, I came to you to tell you something. It was Ouyang Feng who taught me something."

Then he waved his hands and said urgently: "I didn't learn it on purpose. He tricked me into learning it by playing games. It's not good not to repay him, so..."

Qiu Chuji slapped Hao Datong on the back of the head, causing him to stagger.

"Go! Accept your three months of confinement and copy the 'Zizhi Tongjian' ten times. I will come back to ask you questions after I have finished my work."

"If you pass it, you will suffer less. If you fail, you should go down the mountain less often in the future." Qiu Chuji said calmly.

Hao Datong's face looked bitter, but he had no objection to the punishment.

This time he was just delivering a message and actually suffered no loss, but we must always be on guard against potential problems.

Qiu Chuji was not annoyed that Hao Datong was not on guard, nor was he annoyed that he was not thick-skinned enough. Instead, he cared that this silly boy was neither on guard nor thick-skinned enough.

Of course, this was just a small matter for Qiu Chuji, and Hao Datong was just a young man without much experience in the underworld, so he would not be too strict.

Hao Datong went to receive the punishment himself, but Qiu Chuji went to the cave where Ouyang Feng was imprisoned.

The cave was cold and dimly lit. Ouyang Feng's limbs were tied with chains as thick as an adult's arm, and he was suspended in the air in an upside-down position. This could effectively prevent him from using the ground to gain leverage and use vibration to force out the silver needles in his body.

Seeing Qiu Chuji coming in, Ouyang Feng shook his messy hairy head.

"Let me go, let me down, let me feel better." Ouyang Feng said anxiously.

Qiu Chuji did not hesitate. He stretched out his hand and sent out two sword energies, breaking the chains on his legs and allowing Ouyang Feng, who was hanging upside down, to be lowered.

After standing firmly on the ground, Ouyang Feng let out a long breath, shook his head, revealing half of his face.

"Comfortable! Although I am also used to lying backwards, the feeling of my feet on the ground is still comfortable."

"Hey! You can't be so stingy! Untie my hands too." Ouyang Feng continued to make demands.

Qiu Chuji ignored him. Even though Ouyang Feng was in his prime now and was nothing in his eyes, it was still quite troublesome to make a few new chains. He also had to be considerate of the Quanzhen disciples and give them less work to do.

If you want to be a leader, you should be a considerate leader like him.

"You went to so much trouble to find me here just to say this?" Qiu Chuji asked.

Ouyang Feng turned his wrist and twisted his ankle: "Where's the wine? Not even a sip?"

Qiu Chuji turned around and left without any hesitation.

"Okay! Okay! I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"

"Everything is wrong. At first I just thought the time was advanced!" Ouyang Feng's eyes showed a strange look.

"What time was advanced?" Qiu Chuji asked.

"You, me, Wang Chongyang, Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qi, and many others, their time has been advanced!"

"You don't know, but I know very well that all of us have appeared at least twenty years earlier." Ouyang Feng's words made Qiu Chuji a little dazed.

Qiu Chuji did not believe his words immediately, but he did not deny them right away either.

For the "half" that originally belonged to Qiu Chuji, it was impossible for him to know when he was supposed to be.

As for the other 'half' of the time traveler, he... and many other people were originally characters in a novel, and he didn't care too much about the specific timeline.

After all, Mr. Jin has revised his works many times, and there are quite a few TV series that have been adapted. After watching them all, many concepts are actually not so clear.

In one version, Dugu Qiubai managed to live to the period of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer and became Dongfang Bubai's master. Talking about the timeline any more would be asking for trouble.

As for things that you didn't care about in your previous life, even if your memory and understanding have greatly increased after traveling through time, it is impossible to know them out of nothing.

He couldn't possibly know in advance that he was going to travel through time, so he looked up everything about everyone's life in detail. He was able to have some general impression, but that was all thanks to the fact that he was born in the 1990s and grew up watching martial arts dramas.

"Yeah! So!"

Even if what Ouyang Feng said was true, then what?

What's the big deal!
Twenty years earlier or later, what does it matter?
What's more, Qiu Chuji probably knew why the time was wrong.

This was probably the effect caused by the Yuxu Bell that dragged him through time and space.

After all, the Yuxu Bell must be of a very high status, at least much higher than this world. Stuffing it into such a world is like stuffing a fat man into a monkey's body. It's a miracle that it didn't burst, and it's normal to have some changes.

"I'm sure you're not Qiu Chuji because I noticed that you didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with the time." "No one else noticed it either, so I'm still the only special one."

As he spoke, Ouyang Feng actually started laughing out loud, looking both crazy and wild.

Ouyang Feng's words sounded a little awkward, but Qiu Chuji understood what he meant and just said, "If this is your bargaining chip, then I think there is no need for us to continue chatting."

"What I'm going to tell you next is the real point."

"If I tell you, you have to let me go."

"I swear that I will not vent my anger on you, the disciples of Quanzhen Sect. From now on, I will only seek revenge on you." Ouyang Feng put forward his own conditions.

Qiu Chuji didn't tolerate him and directly used his soul-transferring technique.

He couldn't hypnotize Ouyang Feng before because although there was a difference in their strength, their lives were essentially at the same level.

It’s different now. Qiu Chuji can crush Ouyang Feng from a higher level and leave him unable to resist.

"What have you discovered regarding the time difference?" Qiu Chuji asked Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Feng, with his eyes dazed and in a trance, replied: "In this life, it only took me ten years to master the Toad Skill. At the same time, I retrained the Nine Yin Skill, but I went crazy very rarely. After I mastered it, I never really went crazy again."

"Originally, I thought it was because I had accumulated experience from two lifetimes, so I could cultivate very quickly. But after fighting with you, I found that even Huang Yaoshi and Duan Zhixing, who were not abnormal at all, were much stronger than they were at the same age in their previous lives."

"So, during this period of time, I have always suspected that the world we are in is in a state of continuous decline in vitality."

"From the former Song Dynasty to the present Song Dynasty, perhaps due to some reason, there was a huge drop in the vitality of heaven and earth."

"The difference of twenty years not only brings about a time dislocation, but also a difference in the vitality of heaven and earth."

"I speculate that as time goes on, the vitality of heaven and earth will become thinner and thinner, until it becomes difficult to practice internal skills, and people will be more inclined to practice external skills."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Chuji frowned slightly.

He was also familiar with Ouyang Feng's statement.

As the previous life of a time traveler, I have also heard some similar remarks on the Internet.

It is generally believed that the older the gold world is, the stronger it is, and the closer it is to modern times, the weaker it is.

Many people still regard it as a guiding principle and truth.

Of course, there is limited basis for this statement, even if we leave aside the performance in the novel.

Judging from the performance in the TV series, this statement is not very tenable. In The Deer and the Cauldron, it was common for half of the river to be blown up with one palm strike. To say that the older the stronger, the stronger is simply a joke.

Based on the information Qiu Chuji had, he was more willing to believe that it was the appearance of the Yuxu Bell that changed the vital energy structure of this world.

Make the originally inactive Qi of heaven and earth become active.

Therefore, when Qiu Chuji told Wang Chongyang about Journey to the West, he was easily inspired and his strength improved greatly.

This kind of change is not obvious to mediocre people, and it is the same as not existing.

But in the perception of those with extraordinary talents, there is still a difference.

"But, if that's the case, then my time traveling across time might not have happened in an instant."

Qiu Chuji did not think too deeply about this issue.

Even if Ouyang Feng is right, so what?
The road ahead has been opened. Even if he has not yet truly mastered part of the Yuxu Bell, he can work hard and achieve the requirement.

Now the plan to slay the dragon is ready to go. With the fertility of the dragon veins, he can nurture his extraordinary abilities. Even in the most barren world, he will be able to stand out.

"Since the idea you proposed is quite interesting, I'll make you feel a little more comfortable." Qiu Chuji waved his hand and shot out two streams of true qi, blocking Ouyang Feng's Dantian and Baihui acupoints respectively, and then forced out the silver needles that were stuck in his body. He did not order the Quanzhen Sect disciples to come in and hang Ouyang Feng upside down again.

With these two true Qi blocking the door, no matter which Nine Yin Ouyang Feng learned, he could not break through the acupuncture points and recover his strength.

From true qi to true qi, this is a difference of at least two levels of energy properties.

The reason why Dugu Qiubai could borrow a wisp of true Qi to rebuild the Great Way to Heaven was because he had completed a transformation and had a frank communication with Qiu Chuji, knowing most of the secrets. At that time, Qiu Chuji's true Qi was only in its infancy and its stability had not reached its optimal level, so it could still be analyzed and deciphered.

Now that Qiu Chuji's true Qi has stabilized and is deliberately restricted, no matter how talented Ouyang Feng is, he cannot fly. He can only analyze two streams of true Qi, and then take the opportunity to rebuild his magical skills and reach a higher level.

After leaving the cave where Ouyang Feng was imprisoned, Qiu Chuji said to the two disciples who were guarding the cave entrance: "Send him a few jars of good wine later. You can chat with him if you have nothing to do. Don't believe what he says. But if he wants to teach you martial arts, you can learn some from him. Just don't listen to the internal skills."

Ouyang Feng is a talented person, and Qiu Chuji plans to gradually make use of him.

In the future, it would be nice to be a sparring partner for a disciple in the Quanzhen Sect.

Moreover, his ulterior motives can be used as a touchstone for his disciples, testing both their character and their talent.

"Well... after a while, the place where Ouyang Feng is imprisoned will be listed as a forbidden area of ​​our Quanzhen Sect."

"As we all know, all the forbidden areas that are openly displayed encourage you to explore."
