Ruins of the past

Wangjiazhuang, on the roof of the dog's house on Tuesday, Chu Qiguang was lying on his back, looking up at the sky and looking at the huge moon.

He just kept in a meditative state for today's rest, while listening to Qiao Zhi tell him about the information collected by the cat and dog monsters these days.

"Wang Cailiang has been living in seclusion since he returned to Wangjiazhuang and has not come out much. It is said that he is not in good health and is still recovering."

"Yudan and Jinxiu were originally spying on your sister. Later, Yudan went to see Wang Cailiang. He was in very bad spirits. I felt that the Taoist temple could not completely cure him."

"The Chen family sent several spies to investigate the matter of the martial arts man. Although they suspected you, we killed the man very quickly and they didn't find any evidence."

"The cemetery in Wangjiazhuang is progressing smoothly. Villagers from other villages knew that there was work here and came to the construction site."

"The Taoist priests in the Taoist temple are still busy with the merit library. The Wu family is also interested in it and has been communicating with each other in the county. Now several wealthy families in Qingyang County are waiting to buy the merit library after it is launched."

"Abbot Chenzhu has taken three more Qibao Pills and asked Chen Gang to ask you if you want them."

Chu Qiguang nodded while listening, and would talk to Qiao Zhi from time to time to explain his arrangements.

"Chen Gang has sent a letter to you and the Hao family. They think you have just broken through to the third level of martial arts. Hao Yongtai has come to see you. If you want to take the martial arts exam this month, you have to meet him."

Chu Qiguang sighed: "It's finally time to take the martial arts exam. Once you have your identity, many things will be easier to handle."

Qiao Zhi finally said with an anxious tone: "Now we still have 2,732 taels, 4 cents, 6 cents and 2 cents of silver left in our hands. The silver is short again! Those monsters are so delicious, we must think about it quickly. There are ways to make more money!”

Chu Qiguang said: "Master Qiao, I don't see that you are very good at calculating money. From now on, I will leave all the money in my hand to you."

Chu Qiguang is not someone who must keep all the money, power, and personnel in his hands. What he likes most is to allocate things to reliable talents and let more people gather under his hands for the sake of Move forward with the same goal, so that the speed of progress can be faster and faster.

He had discovered before that Qiao Zhi was very sensitive and concerned about the spending of silver. These days, he was busy managing Yaoyin Village, so he tried to leave the money matters to Qiao Zhi. As expected, Qiao Zhi took care of the money very carefully, and was very careful about the amount of money. The calculations are as detailed as obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Chu Qiguang thought to himself: 'Master Qiao must have been very short of money. ’

Qiao Zhi asked, "Do you still want to buy the little pills from Chenzhu? It's another thousand, five hundred taels of silver. It's too expensive!"

Knowing that Chu Qiguang still wanted to buy Qibao Pills, Qiao Zhi muttered at the side: "Oh, another 1,500 taels of silver are gone. This medicine jar of yours is simply a bottomless pit."

Chu Qiguang comforted him: "Don't worry, there will be plenty of money when the hydraulic spinning machine comes out. On the contrary, time is money. If I can join the Tao a day earlier, I will have more advantages."

At this moment, there was a slight crash, and Sister Zhou climbed up at some point and was looking at Chu Qiguang with wide black eyes.

"elder brother……"

Chu Qiguang snorted impatiently: "Yeah~"

Zhou Zhoumei whispered: "Your name is Chu Qiguang now?"

Chu Qiguang nodded and didn't reply.

Sister Zhou came forward in a flattering manner: "This name is really nice, much nicer than your original name."

She turned over and over in her mind, trying to say more words to express her love for this new name, but after much deliberation she could only think of the word "nice".

Chu Qiguang asked: "What do you want to do again?"

Yudan had been following Sister Zhou, and now she also jumped on the roof, covering her mouth with one paw and mockingly said: "She dislikes her name, and wants you to help choose a name, hahaha, Sister Zhou! It's so boring." !.”

"You have the nerve to tell me?!"

As soon as Yudan finished speaking, she was kicked down by Sister Zhou. Then Sister Zhou looked at Chu Qiguang expectantly: "Brother~ I want a new name, something like Chu Qiguang."

Chu Qiguang yawned and said, "Oh, I don't want to name the idiot."

Sister Zhou Zhou held Chu Qiguang's arm and begged: "Take it, take it. Brother, can you just give me a nice name?"

Chu Qiguang looked at the moon in the sky and said casually: "It's a pity time. Yujiao will be full tonight. Then your name will be Zhou Yujiao."

Zhou Yujiao didn't understand any of the nonsense Chu Qiguang read, but she just thought the name sounded really nice, much better than her original name.

"Haha! Then my name is Yujiao! From now on, I will be called Zhou Yujiao..."

Yudan climbed up from below again, shook the dirt from his face and said, "I also want to change my name to a more prestigious one."

"Isn't Yudan impressive enough?" Qiao Zhi, who named the fish egg Yudan, was dissatisfied: "If you don't call it Yudan, why don't you still want to call it Dragon Dan? Why change such a good name?"

Yudan kept rolling his eyes after hearing this, but facing his first teacher, Qiao Zhi, he couldn't say anything to refute.

One night passed, Chu Qiguang asked Yudan to continue to observe Wang Cailiang carefully, then returned to the county town and came to the Yinglue Hall to prepare to register for the martial arts examination in October.

Because he claimed to have entered the third level of martial arts, the Imperial Academy directly promoted him to the Upper House and became an Upper House student.

After arriving at the upper courtyard, there were already several students practicing martial arts here, and Hao Yongtai was one of them. When he saw Chu Qiguang, he immediately greeted him and took him to the side hall to talk.

…

Hao Yongtai looked at Chu Qiguang with some suspicion: "Brother Chu Xian, your servant said that your martial arts has entered the third level? The last time you broke through the second level was three months ago, right?"

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly, and without much explanation, he directly used the power of Qi and blood. The blood flow in his body made a soft sound, and a slight flow of heat gushed out from the body surface.

Hao Yongtai's eyes twitched when he felt this scene, and he said in surprise: "Qi penetrates the four limbs, circulates qi and blood, and you are actually in the third level? It has only been three months... You are indeed a martial arts genius."

Hao Yongtai couldn't help but feel a trace of envy when he looked at Chu Qiguang. He only entered this realm when he was 23 years old, but the Chu Qiguang in front of him had reached this point at the age of 15.

However, he sighed and said: "Brother Chu Xian, although you are already at the third level of martial arts, I still do not recommend you to participate in this martial arts class."

Chu Qiguang said in surprise: "Why?"

Hao Yongtai said: "In the third level, you are qualified to be a martial arts student, but if you want to be a martial arts student to take the child examination, there are two exams. This one in the county is not a big problem, but the one in Beiyue Mansion needs to be compared with other county martial arts exams." Competition, after all, you have just entered the third realm, and I am afraid you are no match for those candidates who have been in the third realm of martial arts for many years."

"And..." At this point, Hao Yongtai sighed: "This time I not only advise you not to participate, but I myself will not apply for this class of martial arts."
