Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 48 If you want it, come and get it!
"It seems that someone is questioning it."

“It’s a good thing to have people question you!”

"Everyone, rest assured. I will find a few recognized experts to prove that the Nine Yin Manual in my hand is the real and unique Nine Yin Manual."

"After we confirm the true scripture, we can discuss the ownership of the scripture." Facing Qiu Qianzhang's questioning, Qiu Chuji was not annoyed at all. After all, what was there to be angry about over the same corpse?
The Jin Kingdom's Dog Army spies who were mixed in the crowd exchanged glances with each other and stopped their original plan to directly spill out a large number of secret book fragments.

After all, things at the moment seem to be developing in the direction they expected.

After all, the act of directly throwing away the fragments of the secret book is still a bit obvious. It is certainly gratifying to provoke a fight among the heroes, but I am afraid that the fire will not start and will not burn across the entire martial arts world as expected.

Some things, once the veil of mystery is lifted, are just that.

Before Song Taizu's Taizu Changquan was announced, the martial arts community at that time also believed it to be the most first-rate unique boxing style. After it was announced and became a common skill, people began to recognize that what was strong was not the boxing style, but the person who created it.

"I am one of the fair men!" An old man with white beard was the first to step out from the crowd.

"It turns out to be Mr. Hou from the Iron Arm Sect!"

"With Mr. Hou's status in the underworld, we are all convinced by his fairness!" Immediately, some underworld people who knew this old man started to make a fuss in the crowd.

But it is obvious that this candidate is not convincing enough.

Almost at the same time, someone else said, "If Hou Da can be the justice, then can I be the best in the world? What ability does he have? He just raised some scoundrels and boasts about his reputation every day!"

The old man's cheeks turned red with anger when he heard this. It seemed that if he didn't take action to verify it, he would not be able to continue to survive in the world.

Huang Yaoshi, who had been arranged by Qiu Chuji, said appropriately: "I am Huang Yaoshi from Donghai, can you please say something fair?"

There were also people in the crowd who knew Huang Yaoshi, and they immediately shouted, "We have heard of the name of the master of Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea. I wonder if Master Huang has any advice for us?"

"Since we are looking for a notary, he should have martial arts skills and prestige that can convince the public."

"But since we are all fellow martial artists, if we kill each other too much, it will only make our loved ones sad and our enemies happy!"

"Why don't we all nominate ten people to serve as representatives, and then have these ten people compete with each other and narrow it down to five."

"Five people watched a small section of the secret book at the same time to confirm its authenticity."

"If three people recognize the secret book, then there is no need to discuss the authenticity of the Nine Yin Manual. As for the ownership issue... we will discuss it later!"

This is a combination of fighting and eliminating!
It seems that the practice of selecting ten people first and then streamlining it to five is a bit redundant, but in fact, while tightening the loophole of "notary public", it also makes a large number of ambitious people feel that they have a great chance.

It has to be said that with Huang Yaoshi's intelligence and sharpness, when he is willing to cooperate, he is indeed the best assistant.

After listening to Huang Yaoshi's proposal, Qiu Chuji nodded and said, "Let's do as the Island Master Huang said, but... it has to be quick. I will only give you one hour."

After saying this, he actually pushed the door open and returned to the small Taoist temple, leaving all the martial arts heroes outside the door without caring about them.

In the Taoist temple, Jin Yanzi looked at Qiu Chuji with worry on her face.

"Is this really okay?"

"Otherwise, I'd better go out and tell the whole truth!" said Jin Yanzi.

Qiu Chuji picked up the kettle on the stove and poured himself a cup of water: "If you want to kill everyone here, go out and tell the truth."

There is no point in revealing the Jin people's conspiracy.

Whether people choose to believe it is the big question.

Even if they all believed it, the Jin soldiers stationed at the foot of the mountain would definitely surround the mountain and kill everyone who came down until the truth was blocked, and then continue to advance the plan. The key to breaking the deadlock was to make the Jin people feel that their plan had not failed and there was still a possibility of continuing to promote it, while also making sure that the incident itself was not out of control and that Qiu Chuji was in a position to take the initiative.

Just as Wang Chongyang should have done, no one questioned his number one in the world, and no one doubted that the Nine Yin Scriptures was not the number one martial art in the world. Everyone wanted to obtain the Nine Yin Scriptures and then become the new number one in the world, but no one could take away the Nine Yin Scriptures and the title of number one in the world while Wang Chongyang was alive.

This is equivalent to carrying a mountain of pressure on one shoulder.

Of course, there is no need to think about what Qiu Chuji was carrying at that time, or what bitterness and hatred he had endured.

For him, what he pursues is fairness and justice in the popular sense, as well as glory and the pursuit of the people. What he pursues even more is standing on the top to look at the higher scenery.

So he stood on such a stage and enjoyed it very much.

Even though everything happened much faster than he had originally expected.

But that's how life is. Nothing is planned before it officially begins.

Variables exist suddenly, and those who want to seize the favor of fate must always be prepared.

In the Taoist temple, Qiu Chuji sat quietly drinking water. Jin Yanzi hesitated several times, but seemed to be hesitant to speak.

The cold wind was howling outside the door, and the sounds of martial arts competitions were heard one after another, mixed with Qiu Qianzhang's loud refusal to become one of the ten representatives.

One hour is not long, but it is certainly not short either.

When Qiu Chuji pushed the door open again, the five final candidates had already been determined.

They are Zhimu, the abbot of the Arhat Hall of Shaolin Temple, Hong Qi, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Huang Yaoshi of Peach Blossom Island, Cao Xuanzhen, the leader of the Dajiang Sect, and Sima Sheng, the horse leader of the White Horse League.

Among these five people, only Huang Yaoshi is a wandering warrior, while the others are from big gangs and sects. It is obvious that it is really difficult for a wandering warrior to survive.

Of course, these five people cannot represent the entire martial arts world. The Jin people's plan was to take the northern martial arts world as the center, cause a storm and then affect the entire martial arts world, and then use the martial arts world as a test.

If the imperial court of a certain party cannot even handle the chaos in the martial arts world under its rule, it means that its internal situation has long been in chaos, and it can be timely to send troops to attack and occupy it.

Among the five people at present, except Huang Yaoshi who came from the south, the other four, even if they do not belong to the northern martial arts world, mostly linger in the Central Plains.

However, in fact, the world is as big as the martial arts world.

Duan Zhixing and Wang Chongyang, two of the Five Great Masters, have not yet shown up. Looking further ahead, masters from the Western Regions, the southern coastal areas, the land of Bashu, and even from places like Goryeo, Western Xia, Mongolia, Tubo, and Japan have not yet come to Huashan.

Even in the era of Five Quatrains, the Five Quatrains only represented one level and could not represent everything.

"Looks like you've already chosen your man!"

"Well, the secret book is here, come and get it!"

As he spoke, Qiu Chuji picked up the secret book with the wooden sword in his hand and slowly handed it out.

Seeing Qiu Chuji's action, some people's expressions changed slightly, and some showed disdain.

"What do you mean?" Huang Yaoshi asked knowingly.

"You chose the person, but I haven't recognized him yet!"

"Whether you are qualified to read the secret book depends on whether you can take the secret book from my wooden sword."
