Chapter 86 Xu Qingya belongs to everyone, let's share a bite each!
"What Sunflower Ancestor? He doesn't deserve the title! His martial arts are impressive, but he doesn't qualify as an ancestor!"
Mi Cangqiong said seriously, "Only those peerless masters who founded schools and established their own sects, such as Bodhidharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, Zhang Lata of Wudang School, and Wang Chongyang of Quanzhen School, are qualified to be called patriarchs and founders. The title of 'patriarch' is not self-proclaimed!"
"If you can fight, you're the ancestor?"
"A supreme grandmaster must be a patriarch?"
Thinking about problems in this way is rather narrow-minded.
Only by establishing a school and passing on one's own ideas and concepts for a long time can one be qualified to be called a patriarch. Sunflower Old Dog's martial arts are indeed very advanced. Does he have a suitable successor?
Who dares to confidently claim to have fully inherited the legacy of Sunflower Old Dog? Step forward and let me see!
No disciples, no lineage, no successors!
I acknowledge his expertise in martial arts, political maneuvering, and intrigue, but I won't acknowledge anything else!
Mi Cangqiong comes from the Zhanjing Hall in Luoyang, a prestigious and upright sect with a deep-rooted sense of identity in terms of "inheritance". He has never agreed with the titles of Grandmaster or Great Grandmaster in the martial arts world, feeling that these titles are too one-sided and even somewhat "exaggerated"!
It's an exaggeration, not a lie.
The honorary titles of Earthly Fiend Grandmaster and Heavenly Fiend Grandmaster are proof of establishing a sect or school.
Earthly Fiend Masters can establish their sects in ordinary prefectures, counties, and remote places, while Heavenly Fiend Masters can establish their sects in wealthy prefectures and blessed lands. There is one exception: a great teacher produces a great student.
Currently, the most discussed and most fitting Earthly Fiend Master in the martial arts world is Ximen Changhai.
Ximen Changhai was originally only on the Earthly Fiends List. The Magpie Blade Sect was a Liaodong gang and not considered strong. However, Ximen Changhai trained a 20-year-old Grandmaster of the Heavenly Gang. From that moment on, he became a renowned teacher praised by everyone.
If Ximen Changhai wanted to relocate the Que Dao Sect to some wealthy prefectures, out of respect for Xu Qingya, the local martial arts forces would not only not refuse, but would also allow younger generations to become his disciples and benefit from "expert teaching by a famous teacher".
If it's just a matter of being "good at fighting," even if it's the number one expert in the world, Mi Cangqiong wouldn't care.
The masters that Mi Cangqiong admires are either grandmasters who have founded their own schools, those who have made contributions to the country and its people, or those who have unwavering beliefs and follow a certain ideology to the bitter end, putting their beliefs into practice with their lives.
This is related to his background.
What kind of sect is Zhanjing Hall?
Is this sect very powerful?
Absolutely amazing!
The foundations of Zhuge Zhengwo, the Four Great Constables, Yuan Shisanxian, Xu Xiaoyi, and others all lie with Zhanjingtang.
Two hundred years ago, the eccentric martial arts master Scarface collected 1,001 unique martial arts moves circulating in the martial arts world and summarized them into a set of martial arts called "1,001 Wind Blade Frost Sword Moves". With this, he made a name for himself and founded a sect in Luoyang, which was called Zhanjing Hall.
The Zhanjing Hall reached its peak in its seventh generation, with two renowned disciples: Zhang Tianai and Wei Qingqing.
Zhang Tianai mastered the 1001 moves to perfection at a young age and became famous. Because he was from Huaiyin, he was known as "Lord Zhang of Huaiyin"!
Wei Qingqing went a step further, extracting the essence of the 1001 ultimate moves and integrating them into one, creating a powerful killing move called "Blade and Sword Fusion".
Wei Qingqing originally did not want to offend Zhang Tianai, but Zhang Tianai pressed her step by step. Wei Qingqing also unexpectedly developed feelings for Zhang Tianai's wife, Liang Renhua. A showdown between the two senior and junior brothers was destined.
Zhang Tianai invited six renowned masters, along with all the senior elders of the Zhanjing Hall and hundreds of elite disciples. Wei Qingqing went to the meeting alone, sword in hand. Many people thought that a fierce battle would take place, with the two sides fighting for three days and three nights, before one side finally emerged victorious.
In fact, this battle only had "one move"!
If each side uses one move and that counts as "one round," then the battle ends after half a round.
Wei Qingqing drew her sword, made her move, and left.
With just one move, Zhang Tianai was defeated, as were six renowned experts. Without exception, all the elders and elite disciples of the Zhanjing Hall were knocked to the ground by Wei Qingqing. Wei Qingqing then left the Zhanjing Hall with Liang Renhua.
Later, Wei Qingqing founded the Zizai Sect.
Wei Qingqing has four disciples.
Wei Qingqing is a "voice enthusiast," and the voices of all four disciples are somewhat "unusual."
The eldest disciple, Ye Aichan, roared like a dragon's cry;
The second disciple, Xu Xiaoyi, roared like the cry of a crane.
The third disciple, Zhuge Zhengwo, roared like a dog barking.
The fourth disciple, Yuan Shisanxian, roared like a wolf's howl.
Zhang Tianai did not give up, but he knew that with his talent, he could never defeat the monster Wei Qingqing. So he took a second-best option and accepted a disciple with extraordinary talent, hoping that his disciple could defeat Wei Qingqing's disciple and help him get revenge.
Unfortunately, life is unpredictable.
Zhang Tianai's disciple was so handsome that he caught the emperor's eye, who then castrated him and confined him to the palace.
The spirited young master transformed into a treacherous and vicious old eunuch in a short period of time. As for avenging his master, he felt it was no longer necessary.
Without Mi Cangqiong needing to make any moves or schemes, Wei Qingqing's four disciples were already at odds: one became a monk and went far away, another became disheartened and went into seclusion in the countryside, and the other two became mortal enemies. One was imprisoned at the bottom of the Heavenly Prison, and the other was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, whom they absolutely could not afford to offend.
Mi Cangqiong spoke intermittently about the past, his face streaked with tears. It wasn't acting; it was a genuine expression of his feelings, like the line from the poem: "In the dead of night, I suddenly dreamt of my youth, and in my dream, tears streamed down my face, staining my makeup red."
"Lord Xu, I—I—"
"As the saying goes, a man doesn't easily shed tears, only when he's truly heartbroken. The imperial palace is as deep as the sea, and Brother Mi's willingness to open his heart to me shows your complete trust in me. I'm overjoyed!"
"A man doesn't easily shed tears—hahahahahahahahahahahaha—a man doesn't easily shed tears! What kind of man am I! I'm rootless—"
Brother Xu, you said I'm a real man. Whether it was intentional or not, I appreciate it. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, I, Old Mi, will go through fire and water for you!
Mi Cangqiong patted his chest forcefully.
Eunuchs have always been at the bottom of the social hierarchy.
To put it bluntly, in the hierarchy of contempt in the martial arts world, even heinous villains like Tian Boguang and Bai Yumo are still considered higher than eunuchs. Even if the eunuch is a high-ranking Grand Eunuch or even the Ninth Prince, people in the martial arts world still feel contempt for him.
Are there any eunuchs with a good reputation?
Of course!
However, don't overestimate the character of people in the martial arts world! Nor should you overestimate their level of education! Most people in the martial arts world do whatever they want and only think about their own pleasure.
Mi Cangqiong certainly wouldn't trust Xu Qingya.
In the palace, where is there any absolute trust?
However, for some reason, when she was with Xu Qingya, she easily felt the urge to confide in him.
This desire is so strong.
Even an old eunuch like Mi Cangqiong, who had spent half his life in the palace, couldn't suppress his urge to confide and poured out all the frustrations in his heart.
After saying that, I felt much better.
Even the internal organs that had been eroded by the malevolent energy felt much more comfortable, and the whole body felt warm.
Xu Qingya thought to himself that if there were a heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed), and a small dining table set up on it, with half a jin of local liquor, a dish of peanuts, a large plate of vegetables with dipping sauce, and a plate of cold pig's ears, the two of them could chat until the next morning. Mi Cangqiong would then tell the whole story of how he wet the bed when he was three years old.
This is a "special talent" of the people of Liaodong.
Commonly seen during the Chinese New Year period.
If there are several elders, the younger generation should never go over there; the house is not a place for people to stay!
Each person had a pipe, and the smoke was so thick that it could be used to borrow arrows with straw boats three times. If you lifted the curtain, the smoke would be so strong that you would be forced to back up seven or eight steps, fall hard on your butt, and have your butt hurt for half a day.
If you insist on going over there, an elder will hold you in their arms, dip their chopsticks in the wine, and let you taste it, watching you scream and cry because of the spiciness.
This is an absolutely bad habit. Never feed alcohol to children indiscriminately. Not every child can withstand the stimulation of alcohol, and it may cause certain illnesses.
Severe cases may lead to intellectual disabilities!
Ximen Changhai didn't care much about this, but Ximen Changzai was particularly strict. When chatting with neighbors on the kang (heated brick bed), he would only prepare vegetables with dipping sauce and would never prepare alcohol.
In the evening, Eunuch Shan came to deliver an imperial decree, bringing Xu Qingya official robes and seals. Accompanying him was the eighty-year-old old man from the Ministry of Rites, who was in charge of teaching Xu Qingya etiquette and was carrying two rulers.
One of them is a ruler of benevolence, bestowed by the emperor!
One of them is a ruler of righteousness, bestowed upon me by the prince!
Xu Qingya: Is it too late to run now?
Mi Cangqiong: It's too late!
Xu Qingya: Old Mi, help me!
Mi Cangqiong: I can't see! I can't hear!
The Prince's Mansion stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
Liu Qingci is currently undergoing a joint trial.
Yang Yan, Yin Susu, Qin Nanqin, Cheng Lingsu, and Beitang Xin'er surrounded her. Although Liu Qingci possessed the power to subdue dragons and tigers, she was now powerless.
Yang Yan fired the first shot: "Qing Ci, what exactly happened? Why was Qing Ya left in the palace? What accident occurred during the ancestral worship at the Imperial Ancestral Temple?"
Yin Susu quickly added insult to injury: "Liu Qingci! Is it that you want to monopolize everything, get the emperor to grant you a marriage, and then the emperor takes a fancy to Qingya and wants to keep her all to yourself!"
Beitang Xin'er's hair had turned noticeably whiter: "What are you two sisters up to? What Martial Saint successor? I remember the Empress of the Liu family, shouldn't her surname be Zhang?"
Cheng Lingsu gently reminded her, "The surname of the empress isn't so particular. Descendants of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, and Huang Zhong have almost all become empresses. However, no descendant of Xu Shu has ever become an empress. I've never heard of an empress named Xu!"
Qin Nanqin concluded, "Your Highness, it's wrong to eat alone! The young master belongs to everyone. If we each take a bite, everyone will have something to eat. If anyone tries to eat alone, don't blame us for joining forces to overturn the table!"
Liu Qingci: What are you saying? I don't understand!
How could I not understand!
Liu Qingci weakly explained, "When Qingya presided over the sacrificial ceremony, he released the Spring and Autumn Blade Intent, which triggered the Blade Intent left behind by the Martial Saint. The two fought fiercely, and Qingya received the Martial Saint's seal of approval, becoming the Martial Saint's successor!"
Yang Yan asked, "Qingci, I remember you are a descendant of Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. Apart from being strong, you don't seem to have any special abilities. Is being a descendant of a Martial Saint really that important? Why does receiving the Martial Saint's certification grant you an official position and title?"
Liu Qingci's voice grew weaker and weaker: "How would I know why? My sister says I'm stupid! She never tells me anything! All I know is that the Marquis of Wu left behind a secret treasure that can only be opened by a successor of the Martial Saint. In the past hundreds of years, only Qingya has qualified!"
Yin Susu sneered: "Is it that simple? Don't you want the Emperor to grant you a marriage? Tell me the truth! Don't think that just because you're a prince, you can get away with this here—"
Liu Qingci suddenly realized, "This seems to be my home, right? Why are you interrogating me? I have questions for you! What's going on with this young lady? When you went out with Qingya, didn't you keep an eye on him?"
Yang Yan explained, "This young lady is a direct disciple of the Poison Hand Medicine King. Her medical skills are superb, and she will surely become a medical master in the future. Who can do without a doctor?"
Cheng Lingsu bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness! I, Cheng Lingsu, dare not contend with Your Highness!"
Liu Qingci laughed and said, "You're too kind! There's no need for such formalities! Young lady, you know medicine? Looking at your gentle and delicate appearance, you're clearly a good girl, far superior to any young lady from a demonic sect!"
The women chattered excitedly, engaging in a lively debate.
Liu Qingci, though far less eloquent than Yang Yan, Yin Susu, and Beitang Xin'er, managed to persuade all the women with his sophistry and tact. If he couldn't persuade them, he resorted to force.
"When is Qingya coming home?"
Yang Yan asked the most important question.
Liu Qingci shrugged: "I don't know! Qingya is the Grand Temple Master and Grand Master of Ceremonies. He needs to preside over sacrifices and learn a lot of etiquette. My sister found an eighty-year-old old man from somewhere. He's as hard as stone and meticulous in everything he does. He's in charge of teaching all kinds of etiquette."
Yin Susu said, "Liu Qingci, tomorrow I'll disguise myself as your maid, and we'll go to the palace!"
Liu Qingci looked at Yin Susu with disdain: "Do you have the bearing of a maid? Anyone with eyes as long as the imperial guards aren't blind can see that!"
Beitang Xin'er pointed to herself.
Liu Qingci scoffed, "Forget about it! Tomorrow I'll take Lingsu to the Imperial Hospital. The current medical leader is Jin Gui, the 'Snow Doctor' of the Imperial Hospital. The old man is over seventy years old and dreams of taking on a disciple."
Cheng Lingsu asked, "Sister Liu, why is Grandpa Jin called the Snow Doctor? Is it because he now has white hair and beard and likes to wear a white robe?"
Yang Yan explained, "The Imperial Medical Academy worships Hua Tuo, and according to the thirteen medical principles he left behind," imperial physicians must dedicate five days each month to treating the common people. Although Jin Gui is a highly skilled physician, he is rather—greedy! To have Jin Gui treat you, you must use pearls as payment."
Yin Susu smiled and said, "This is a good thing! It's better to have a clear price for medical treatment than to be murdered for money."
Beitang Xin'er waved her hand: "Second Sister Yin, not everyone can afford to take out pearls. Hua Tuo's original intention was to have the imperial physicians treat the poor, partly to save the poor who could not afford medical treatment, and partly to accumulate merit and medical experience for himself."
Qin Nanqin said disdainfully, "As the saying goes, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. If the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital adopts this attitude, what will the other imperial physicians do? Won't they just follow suit? It's not easy to learn well, but it's very easy to learn badly. This is simply betraying one's master and ancestors!"
Liu Qingci sighed, "This matter—cannot be entirely blamed on Imperial Physician Jin. You know—my father was short of money for a period of time, and in order to raise funds—the Imperial Medical Academy was no exception, and even demanded double the amount!"
To put it bluntly, imperial physicians and alchemists are enemies in some ways. The leader of the Yuxian Gang views these imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital as if they were his father's killer.
In order to raise money and preserve his lineage, Imperial Physician Jin went to treat Lei Sun and demanded a large sum of money for the consultation.
This kind of thing can't be done just once, and it can't be done for just one person. If you treat Lei Sun, you have to treat Su Muzhe and Shangguan Jin Hong. All the martial arts and underworld masters are flocking to the capital.
Some of them are genuinely there for medical treatment.
Some of them were hired by the Yuxian Gang to cause trouble.
Several imperial physicians were assassinated by them!
Helpless, Imperial Physician Jin took the blame upon himself, declaring, "I am greedy, extremely greedy. I will not treat patients without pearls."
And so the story was passed down.
After my sister ascended the throne, this matter was dropped. However, the trouble caused by the Encountering Immortals Gang in their attempt to tarnish Physician Jin's reputation was too great. Ultimately, this matter cannot be blamed on Physician Jin; it is all my father's responsibility!
Yin Susu smiled and said, "Qingci, don't blame your father, just don't burn paper money this year!"
Liu Qingci smiled bitterly: "If our ancestors were alive, the emperors of the Han Dynasty would probably take turns whipping my father!"
Yang Yan comforted him, "It's alright, there are several emperors who can help your father!"
