Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 180 The motto of Danqingmen appears
Qiu Yuzi wrote it down on the jade tablet in one stroke, allowing Zhao Yifu to learn the art of writing memorials from his family's head.

This is really a profound subject. Anyway, Zhao Yifu looked at the confusing text and couldn't understand what Sect Leader Qiu Yuzi wanted to express.

Because literally speaking, the whole process is to express one's loyalty to the Emperor of Heaven and one's willingness to devote oneself to the cause until death.

Seeing his bewildered look, Qiu Yuzi said helplessly, "Think carefully. If, as you say, the Emperor of Heaven already knows about the changes in the Underworld, then do we still need to tell him what to do?"

Zhao Yifu immediately realized, "Of course not. In fact, theoretically, it would be best if we didn't do anything at all."

Qiu Yuzi nodded and said, "That's right, but since this mortal world's affairs involve our own interests, we naturally cannot just sit there and wait for the Heavenly Emperor's judgment. Therefore, we need to remind Him that we in the mortal world are already suffering unspeakably."

Therefore, writing a memorial is a very delicate task. You must not put pressure on the Emperor, but you must also subtly remind him how difficult it is for them during this period...

Qiu Yuzi wrote this memorial very quickly, but Zhao Yifu spent the whole morning pondering it.

The exquisite choice of words is indeed unforgettable.

"Alright, Brother Bai Na, please use my master's version."

Taoist Bai Na nodded and said, "Okay."

As he spoke, he lightly tapped the jade scepter with his finger, and the words turned into a stream of information and released, disappearing into the sky.

Zhao Yifu asked, "Is that all?"

Taoist Bai Na looked at the jade scepter and said, "It should be OK. This thing is said to be used in this way."

Qiu Yuzi nodded and said, "I hope it can succeed. If it succeeds this time, it will be able to reverse one of our disadvantages."

It turned out that Qiu Yuzi had known about this matter for a long time, but just had no way to solve it.

He was the prime minister of the time and was extremely aware of the importance of "procedural justice".

Matters in the world must be fed back through the correct channels to be handled in the most correct way. Otherwise, if other methods are used, it may lead to disaster.

This time, Zhao Yifu first found the ancestor to confirm that something had happened to Emperor Dongyue, and then he had a channel for procedural justice.

It can only be said that Zhao Yifu did bring a new idea to Qiu Yuzi, who was originally just preparing to fight to the death to practice her path.

Qiu Yuzi pondered for a moment, then said with a little excitement: "This way, the offensive and defensive situation will be easy!"

"Originally, I was just going to give it my all and even prepared to send troops this year. But now it seems we can postpone it a little longer. Liao Guo will be more anxious than us."

Zhao Yifu was not good at understanding people's hearts, but he was very good at understanding the overall situation.

He said, "In that case, I, Teacher Zhou, must go to Xiangzhou as soon as possible to take charge."

Qiu Yuzi was shocked: "Zhou Su went to Xiangzhou, so he is now rectifying the southwest of Beijing? I'm afraid it's a bit too hasty."

Zhao Yifu shook his head and said, "No, I'm worried that once the foundation of Liao's governance is shaken, they will be eager to start a war!"

Qiu Yuzi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. That makes sense."

He felt that Zhao Yifu was really suitable to take over his position and control the government, at least in terms of military affairs.

He said, "This matter will be dealt with soon. Fellow Daoist Baina, if there is an order from Heaven, could you please share it with us?"

The monk nodded and said, "Of course."

Qiu Yuzi was about to leave when Zhao Yifu said, "Master, there is one more thing."

Qiu Yuzi stopped and looked over in confusion.

Zhao Yifu asked, "Master, what should we do with the Wanshou Sect?"

"I'm afraid that the entire Chunyang Sect will be embarrassed by then."

Qiu Yuzi asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhao Yi Fu rolled his eyes secretly, if only he knew.

"Disciple doesn't know."

Qiu Yuzi laughed heartily and said, "Is it because you don't understand why the Wanshou Sect behaves this way?"

Zhao Yifu nodded.

Qiu Yuzi said, "But if you think about it from another perspective, what if they really don't know we've already arrived?"

Good guy!
Zhao Yifu's eyes widened and he asked, "Isn't this impossible?"

Qiu Yuzi smiled but said nothing.

Zhao Yifu actually believed it a little.

On the one hand, Qiu Yuzi was a Yang God, and there was almost nothing he could hide from him. On the other hand, if the other party really didn't know they were there, then everything would be explained.

He said speechlessly: "Then this Wanshou Gate really looks like a makeshift troupe."

Qiu Yuzi smiled, and everything was said without words.

It’s confirmed, in Qiu Yuzi’s eyes, Wanshoumen is just a ‘grassroots troupe’!
Then Zhao Yifu asked in confusion, "Then, Master, should we take the initiative to communicate with the Wanshou Sect?"

At first, they kept their composure and refused to show up, which was based on the premise that Wanshoumen knew they had arrived, but now Wanshoumen didn't know they had arrived... the premise for continuing to hold back no longer existed.

Qiu Yuzi shook her head and sneered contemptuously, "That's because they were stupid. Why should Danqingmen be responsible for their stupidity?"

That being said...

Zhao Yifu hesitated and said, "But for the sake of the reputation of the entire Chunyang Sect..."

Qiu Yuzi said, "Don't worry about that. When the time comes, you and your master will just follow me to manifest the Yin Spirit."

Zhao Yifu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what Qiu Yuzi was going to do.

Good man, he is planning to show up at the conference with his two Yin Spirits who can manifest during the day!
This is to step on the platform set up at Wanshou Gate to show his power in front of people!
But isn't it unfair to do so?

No, it is the best option at the moment.

Because when a legendary Yang God from Danqing Sect shows up in front of people with two Yin Gods who are already in the Shaoyang state, the reputation of Chunyang Sect will be greatly enhanced!
It didn't even matter whether Wanshou Sect lost face because Chunyang Sect as a whole had already won.

Zhao Yifu felt that his own leader was a towering figure.

This operation of turning the hand into clouds is really worth learning.

He nodded to show that he understood.

Afterwards, Qiu Yuzi's yang spirit returned to Daxu Nandu, while Zhao Yifu's yin spirit returned to the main body of Difei Mountain.

When he came out of seclusion, Liang Zhongzhi asked with concern, "Why did you stay in seclusion for so long?"

Zhao Yifu looked at the sky and realized that he had just been in seclusion for a whole day.

But it was obvious that Liang Zhongzhi understood what he was going to do.

Zhao Yifu replied, "Master, I went to ask the headmaster."

Elder Cangqiu also opened his eyes and asked, "How is it?"

Zhao Yifu said, "The headmaster asked me and my master to accompany him and perform a divine act in public."

Elder Cangqiu understood what he said and said, "So that's how it is. It's time for our Danqing Sect to end its days of keeping a low profile."

Zhao Yifu heard some hidden meaning in the words of the old man Cangqiu, and asked, "Mr. Cangqiu, what are we fighting for?"

Old Man Cangqiu said: "It's very simple, it's the orthodox way of humanity!"

Zhao Yifu suddenly understood.

The "humanity" mentioned here does not refer to the way of cultivation. Danqingmen has never taken that kind of thing to heart.

The "humanity" here refers to "civilization"! !

He realized something.

Elder Cangqiu smiled and asked, "What's coming next could be very dangerous. We'll face attacks from shamans and potential harm from those with ulterior motives... We might even become enemies of the entire world. Are you afraid?"

He asked all the Danqingmen disciples present.

Liang Zhongzhi's eyes turned red. He seemed to see again those fellow brothers and sisters from a hundred years ago who threw themselves into the catastrophe one after another, consolidating half of the territory for Da Xu and preserving the orthodox inheritance for the Central Plains civilization.

Zhao Yifu didn't say anything because he didn't have much empathy for this.

Although this world is very similar to a period of history in his previous life, so what? He lived in an era of great national integration in his previous life.

He doesn't really feel much about national hatred or family feuds. It's just a matter of position, and he will never hesitate when it's time to fight.

So he remained silent and did not comment.

But he didn't seem to need to express any opinions, because everyone present was a cultivator and was the most sensitive to the energy.

Zhao Yifu's aura did not change from beginning to end, which showed his inner determination and unshakable nature.

Wen Sheng looked at the silent and determined Zhao Yi Fu... In fact, his heart was shaken for a moment just now.

There's no way around it, who made him just want to be a scoundrel before?

But at this moment, he felt the hesitation, fear and some inevitable passion in the hearts of his fellow disciples.

He suddenly turned to his fellow disciples and said, "We might die."

"But we are people who don't have much talent in cultivation. We are destined not to become immortals and cannot live forever. We will eventually die."

"Just like the mortals who have been born and gone since ancient times..."

He got stuck at this point because he had never given an inflammatory speech before and didn't know how to continue with this emotion.

Seeing that he was anxious, Zhao Yifu was really worried for him.

Because of their 'friendship', he couldn't help but speak up to save the situation: "Since ancient times, everyone has to die..."

He recited a line of poetry, summarizing what Wen Sheng had said before, and then looked at everyone with a guilty look.

He found that everyone was waiting for him to continue reading.

This made him feel a little embarrassed, after all, it was the first time he did such a plagiarizing thing... But just this once, because he felt it was really appropriate.

He went on to say, "...leave behind a loyal heart to shine through history."

"it is good!"

Old Man Cangqiu shouted first.

He clapped his hands and sighed. He said, "What a pun!"

Yes, this poem is a pun for Danqingmen.

'Leave behind a loyal heart to shine through history', isn't that referring to the art of painting?
The fact is that there are many people in the Danqing Sect who have left their names in history... Of course, there are also many who have a bad reputation.

At this moment, this poem seems to be tailor-made for this moment and for Danqingmen.

Nie Hua, who had little presence, also became a little uneasy. He said, "This sentence should be engraved at the mountain gate and erected as a monument."

Liang Zhongzhi said with emotion: "Jun Xin, I am your disciple!"

And look proud of it.

The Tie Rushan men were all excited, their blood was ignited, and they found the direction of their efforts, thus dispelling the haze in their hearts.

Wen Sheng said cheerfully, "This is a great line. I never thought I could collaborate with Junior Brother Zhao to come up with this line!"

It seems like something dirty got mixed in...

But no matter what, as long as everyone is happy.

Zhao Yifu found that he had underestimated the lethality of this sentence to his fellow disciples. The sense of substitution was too strong.

The group of people, young and old, seemed to be energized and restless, fidgeting with anxiety.

Hui Gu couldn't understand why these young and old men were so excited. Even though Zhao Yifu's poem was very good and touching, wasn't it a bit too much to be excited for so long?
Oh, woman~
Or maybe Elder Cangqiu realized that if he kept these enthusiastic young people locked up in the house, something bad would happen, so he just waved his hand and let them all out...

It is foreseeable that these hot-blooded iron Confucian scholars will definitely look for trouble when they go out, but it is better to cause trouble for others than to stay here and cause trouble for themselves.

What's more, this is a good opportunity to make some big noise and remind the Wanshou Sect... Good guy, if they don't notice it after being reminded like this, then don't blame the Danqing Sect for executing the "final plan".

Zhao Yifu was also released.

Of course he didn't go out to fight, but to continue making friends with those second-generations.

The second generation has a lot of information and intelligence, which are all very important things.

But before that, Zhao Yifu waved his sleeves and released Wu Zhong.

He said, "Uncle Wu, take a stick of incense and light it at the City God Temple in Tianyuan City."

"Yes, Master."

Wu Zhong agreed without any hesitation.

Liang Zhongzhi asked, "Oh? You have plans in the City God Temple? But what about the City God?"

Zhao Yifu shook his head and said, "This Tianyuan City God did provide a lot of information, but he was ungrateful and unwilling to serve me. So I returned the incense stick he promised to offer, and we are even from now on."

At this time, the Tie Rushans had all left, and Huigu was not so careful with her words.

She frowned and said, "He is the City God after all. Should we continue to win him over?"

Zhao Yifu shook his head and said, "It's okay. A City God doesn't need to spend so much time on this."

At this point, he suddenly had some ideas. He looked at Old Man Cangqiu calmly and said, "Mr. Cangqiu, would you be willing to try the Shinto way?"

Old Man Cangqiu was not surprised to hear this. Everyone knew Zhao Yifu's "operational ability" nowadays.

In fact, the fact that he could become the undisputed leader of the new generation of Danqing Sect was closely related to his easy control of the land of Huanglin Dangmo Mountain.

Elder Cangqiu thought seriously for a moment, then said, "How far can you go?"

He couldn't help but be tempted. If he could do something in Shinto to accumulate merit, it would be of great benefit to his next life.

Zhao Yifu said, "The City God and the Land God are both fine, but both of them would require you to be tied to the place for a long time. I wonder if you are willing to do that, sir."

"Personally, I would recommend being a ghost messenger, because as long as you operate it properly, you can quickly accumulate merits in the underworld, and you can also escape and reincarnate quickly."

Elder Cangqiu had not expected Zhao Yifu to make such a recommendation. Afterwards, he understood the meaning and said, "Forget about being a ghost messenger. If your elders pass away and you don't have the chance to become a heavenly soldier, you can be a ghost messenger."

"As for me... I'd rather be a landowner than a city god living in a small city."

Zhao Yifu nodded and took note of the matter. He would arrange it when he had the chance in the future.

Anyway, this is not the first time he has done this.

Hui Gu was stunned. She realized that Zhao Yifu seemed to be able to accomplish such a thing. Could it be that these earthly priesthoods were worthless?

At this moment, when she looked at Zhao Yifu, she really felt that this young master was too much of a master, and he had a very superior air in his bones.

She really felt like she was just a maid.

In fact, after Zhao Yifu showed that he could arrange people's affairs after death, his status in Danqingmen had already changed subtly.

The principle here is actually the same as that of inspirational shamanism, except that it follows a formal path. Similarly, there is only one position for each person, and there are limited spaces.

……

The following days were a time for the "Iron Confucian Shan" to revel.

Their blood was boiling with passion and they had nowhere to vent it, so they challenged their opponents one by one, showing the so-called "Mad Confucianism"'s super strong fighting ability and abundant martial virtues.

Building a reputation in such a high-profile manner would definitely attract attention.

At least if the Wanshou Sect carefully investigates the details of the so-called "Mad Confucian Sect", they will definitely find out that the "Mad Confucian Sect" is actually the Danqing Sect, especially this group of "Iron Confucian Shirts" who will roar like the Berserkers when fighting: Everyone is mortal since ancient times, but I will leave my loyalty to shine in history!
This is clearly stated, okay?

But who could have known that, because this group of Iron Confucian monks behaved so fiercely and fiercely, everyone naturally thought that this was another sect that produced many berserkers... at most, they just liked to recite poetry while fighting.

This incident made it seem as if a "mad Confucian" had really appeared in the world.

But when I think about it, it seems not bad. At least the disciples of Danqing Sect will have an extra 'vest' when they go out... Then they can paint in front of people and charge forward with battle roars behind their backs.

Zhao Yifu was also doing his own thing, but he seemed much more advanced.

He and those second-generation people unknowingly formed a 'mutual aid association', which provided each other with some help, including but not limited to strength guidance.

Zhao Yifu's swordsmanship and knife skills made him very successful in this circle and attracted everyone's high praise.

Incidentally, the reputation of 'Crazy Confucian Master Zong Chou' also spread widely.

Well, the reputation of 'Mr. Chou' was spread by the second generation, while the name of 'Mad Confucianism' was made famous by the Iron Confucianists.

When these two were combined, Zhao Yifu's reputation outside was almost like that of a demon...

"Mr. Chou, I don't quite understand why you're willing to hang out with people like us."

The young man named Chu Fei asked.

Zhao Yifu asked in return, "Why can't I hang out with you guys?"

Chu Fei said: "You are the young master of the 'Crazy Confucian Sect', and you are different from us irrelevant people."

Zhao Yifu laughed and said, "How is it different? Maybe when I ascend to heaven, I will still be just the 'Young Sect Master'."

He said this seriously. The more he understood the world, the more he felt that ascension was nothing more than a change of place to live.

Unexpectedly, his words were taken as a joke and as having other implications.

Another second-generation member, Lu Feng, said, "Well said. I think so too. These old men are all in very good health. I'm afraid I'll be almost dead by the time I get rid of them."

"Haha, I'm afraid this heir will have to be his whole life!"

The second generation all laughed when they heard this and thought it made sense.

The group of people enjoyed drinking more and even their relationships with each other became closer.

But Zhao Yifu understood that these second-generation figures could be drinking buddies but could not be entrusted with important matters... However, even as drinking buddies, they were still quite useful.

But when a group of energetic second-generations get together, something always happens.

After a few days of feasting, many people grew bored, and someone suggested, "I've heard that the people of this mortal world are suffering from the oppression of the Liao Kingdom. Why don't we take advantage of the time before the conference begins and go to Tianyuan Prefecture to do some justice?"

This proposal was supported by almost all the second generation.

Hui Gu had been by Zhao Yifu's side all these days, participating in the entire process. Seeing that the second-generations, who had been eager to create chaos, were about to cause trouble, she quickly tugged at Zhao Yifu's clothes and whispered, "Young Master, please stop them quickly. Tianyuan Prefecture is an important city in Liao State. If the chaos gets out of control, I'm afraid there will be accidents."

Lately, she has been calling Zhao Yifu "Young Master" very smoothly and naturally, as if it was supposed to be that way.

Zhao Yifu waved his hand and said, "Why stop something so fun? I'm not afraid of those people."

Huigu was silent. She had seen Zhao Yifu so easily decide the position of the deity, and subconsciously thought he was a very mature and reliable man. But she didn't expect that he would reveal his youthful nature right away.

Zhao Yifu even said, "How about we form a gang and declare our gang name when we're out fighting for justice?"

"This way, we can conceal our identity."

Huigu's eyes lit up and she thought it was a good idea.

If we can establish a gang with these people, it means deepening the ties between each other. In addition, these people are all second-generation... This is definitely a very beneficial thing, and the network of relationships represented here will be very terrifying.

Then the situation began to develop in a direction that Huigu could not predict.

She had never imagined that this group of boring men... or boys, who were vowing to be chivalrous and righteous one moment, would quarrel over a gang name the next, their faces red and their necks thick, and the argument lasted for three days and three nights...

She confirmed again that these men really did this just for fun, but what was so fun about it?

She couldn't understand.

Finally, Zhao Yifu voted and confirmed the name of the gang after he could no longer bear it: the Chivalrous Alliance.

Be a hero in the world, put loyalty first, join hands in great undertakings, and swear to be an alliance.

This is their slogan. The establishment of this alliance means that everyone is an ally regardless of order of seniority, and there is only a leader elected by all parties to coordinate.

The structure of this "Chivalrous Alliance" also makes the second generation feel comfortable. After all, they just want to play together and don't really want to do anything.

Huigu thinks these immature men should go and cause trouble, right?
As a result, they happily drank and chatted again... This delay lasted for three days, as if this serious oath of alliance was just to find a good excuse to drink.

It's just... incomprehensible.

Especially when Zhao Yifu had a flash of inspiration and started drawing the 'Chivalrous Alliance Character Card' on the spot, the situation began to deteriorate uncontrollably in the other direction.

Huigu was very puzzled. What was she worried about before?

What kind of trouble can these noisy and childish kids, who have no idea what they are thinking about all day, cause?

Well, her young master seemed very childish to her this time.
