On the mountain road in Zhongnan Mountain, Wang Li walked forward with his hands behind his back, and he took more than ten feet in one step. He walked with great elegance and ease. Behind him, Qiu Chuji, the head of Quanzhen Sect, followed up with great strides.
Half a stick of incense, Wang Li stood at the top of the mountain, with his hands in his arms, looking down at the entire Zhongnan Mountain from the mountain, as well as the towns and cities at the foot of the mountain.
Qiu Chuji also followed at this time, observing this young Taoist who might have been born in the Taoist Taoist, whose martial arts skills were beyond imagination and were very likely to have become a real person.
I saw a cliff next to the mountain, and an unfathomable abyss below. This real person naturally stood beside the abyss, looking down at the vast earth from left to right, and his body unnaturally revealed the previous great majesty, which was an inhuman atmosphere.
"Changchunzi, you are very good." Wang Li looked down, turned around, and looked at him faintly.
"Do you know why this real person commented like this?" Wang Li asked him after complimenting.
"I don't know, so please give me some advice." Qiu Chuji bowed to Wang Li and asked. In front of Wang Li, he naturally placed himself in the position of his junior.
Wang Li nodded and said to him: "More than thirty years ago, you accepted a disciple, his name was Yang Kang, or Wanyan Kang."
"More than ten years ago, you went to see Temujin again. Temujin promised you many rewards, but you didn't want anything else. You can only get two things in the future."
"One is to exempt the taxes of Quanzhen scholars, and the other is to control the great and small things of the Taoist sect in the world."
"Changchunzi, Quanzhen Cult has been prospering step by step for decades, especially in the past decade, it has developed rapidly and has expanded rapidly and has become the world's number one sect. You have made an indelible contribution."
Wang Li smiled and looked at Qiu Chuji. In the world of Jin Dynasty martial arts, the people of the Jianghu never lacked a big picture and a big vision, even the Duan family of Dali, the imperial family.
These Qiu Chuji and other leaders are extremely rare outstanding figures. They are from the world, but their eyes are beyond the chessboard of the world.
Wang Chongyang resisted the Jin Dynasty for his lifetime, and finally came to this mountain gate, became a monk and entered the Tao, and opened up a Quanzhen foundation.
After Wang Chongyang left, the Quanzhen Sect did not inherit the ambition to resist the Jin Dynasty, but instead focused on academic affairs, and the class relationship with the rulers of the Jin Dynasty was actually good.
If not, the Jin Kingdom would never tolerate an anti-Jin church within its borders, and sent a large army to the mountain to wipe it out early.
This relationship is good. In this world, it really had a huge impact on Quanzhen Sect after Qiu Chuji accepted Yang Kang as his disciple.
The masters of Quanzhen Sect accepted the son of a prince of the Jin Kingdom as their disciple. This seemed simple, but in fact it was a very far-reaching thing. Since then, the Quanzhen Sect began to expand rapidly within the Jin Kingdom.
This was the first expansion of Quanzhen Sect, which laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of the entire sect in the future. Now the third generation of Zhi-sect disciples of the sect began to be cultivated at that period.
At the same time, the influence of Quanzhen Sect among the people is increasing day by day.
Of course, according to the original novel, Qiu Chuji accepted Yang Kang as his disciple, which seemed to be a bet, but in fact, Qiu Chuji or the actual masters of Quanzhen Sect were far from as simple as imagined.
The second expansion of Quanzhen Sect came soon with the opportunity of such prosperity so far.
This prosperous opportunity was that the main academic affairs leaders in Quanzhen Sect such as Qiu Chuji foresaw the future situation in the Central Plains, and that caused the incident that Qiu Chuji traveled thousands of miles to meet Temujin more than ten years ago.
Here, Quanzhen Sect can foresee the situation in Mongolia. It is inseparable from Taoist Ma, who teaches Guo Jing’s internal skills. Taoist Ma went to see the Mongolian grassland when Guo Jing was a child.
But he went to Mongolia not just for Guo Jing.
After seeing Temujin, Qiu Chuji didn't want any rewards. He just used the above two things. After the Mongolian army invaded the Central Plains and captured the entire northern land, these two things quickly played a big role.
The former is a tax-free imperial edict for Quanzhen believers, which makes it no longer necessary to increase taxes for those who join Quanzhen believers. Quanzhen believers can spread the Taoist diary, and I don’t know how many believers have attracted to the church.
The title of power of the Taoist sect, which is large and small in the world, was quickly reduced as Mongolia conquered the Central Plains. Therefore, all Taoist sects in the entire northern Central Plains must be respected by Quanzhen Sect.
The Quanzhen Sect has expanded from this point of view, with money, people, and land. There is no shortage of martial arts inheritance in the sects. In just over ten years, a large number of four generations of disciples were cultivated.
Over the past decade, both the popularity and strength of the Quanzhen Sect have reached a new peak. To this day, it is no silence to be known as the world's number one Xuanmen.
The above is the political speculation of Quanzhen Sect. Whether it is investing in the ruling class of the Jin Kingdom or buying potential stocks in advance to find Genghis Khan, they have all achieved great success and are far from being imagined by ordinary sects.
Quanzhen Sect not only has good political speculation, but also has a very good way to develop sects.
At this time, Quanzhen's academic affairs were blooming everywhere in the north. Now, only four of Quanzhen's seven sons are in Chongyang Palace, while the other three are dealing with academic affairs in various places.
In addition, there is no shortage of sect management methods of Quanzhen Sect. Although Wang Li doesn’t know much, there are a few small details in the book "The Legend of Condor Heroes".
A very simple thing, just by looking at the martial arts competitions and small competitions within this sect, you can see a corner of the competition mechanism within this sect.
A martial arts sect with a wise martial arts inheritance will engage in political speculation, develop and expand sects, and have business models. These three are complete, and it is difficult to be underdeveloped.
At this time, Quanzhen Sect is the world's largest Xuanmen, and it is not a reason for covering up the limelight of Shaolin Temple?
Listening to Wang Li's words, Qiu Chuji was not indifferent to his face, but said plainly: "The real person is wrong."
Wang Li glanced at him deeply: "Facts are facts, why should we deny them?"
"However, the world's affairs are indefinitely prosperous and declining. Quanzhen Sect has gone from nothing to something. It has had such a foundation in just forty or fifty years, but it has reached its peak at this time."
"The Tao is the Yang Pole and Yin is born. The Quanzhen Sect is famous at this time. The so-called "No. 1 Xuanmen in the world will soon be in trouble. From prosperity to decline, it will disappear within decades."
"What?" Qiu Chuji was slightly surprised when he heard this.
He was undoubtedly confused about Wang Li being able to see through the development of Quanzhen Sect over the past decades. After all, Wang Li was a Taoist predecessor, Lou Guandao, the predecessor of Quanzhen Sect, and knew that these were normal.
Because all the great sects in the Buddhist and Taoist sects are usually not ordinary sects, but sects.
There are only two survival and development models of the sect throughout history. One is to establish a Taoist country with strong strength, Buddhism country, and the unity of politics and religion, and religion is in politics, while the other is to legislate the rituals according to the king of the country.
These two paths were in the land of China. The first Taoism had been passed by a thousand years ago. It was not only failed. It not only failed, but also caused the vigilance of the rulers of the courts of all dynasties to be wary of the sects. Since then, it has been difficult for the sects to follow the previous path in the land of China.
The first path cannot be understood, so we can only follow the second one, which is to legislate rituals based on the kingdom and engage in political speculation. The predecessor of Quanzhen Sect, Lou Guandao, was flourishing for hundreds of years because of speculation on the Li Tang Dynasty.
Listening to Wang Li's words, Qiu Chuji's face was slightly moved and he quickly calmed down. He only thought about the various things in the disaster of Quanzhen Sect today, and suddenly asked Wang Li tentatively: "Is it that monk?"
Wang Li nodded to him as he heard this. Qiu Chuji's political sensitivity is really not low. (To be continued. Please search for Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
