Ruins of the past

"What a mess." Chen Gang tore up the note, rolled it up into a ball, and threw it away.

Chu Qiguang didn't care. Ever since he became more and more famous, some people hated him, hated him or admired him. This was not the first time that he had left such messages.

He walked into the courtyard without paying attention. Qiao Zhi, who had jumped into the courtyard earlier, told him about Li Miao.

After listening, Chu Qiguang said: "So, this Li Miao is a talent?"

Qiao Zhi nodded: "It is possible that I will become a Taoist in the future."

Chu Qiguang narrowed his eyes. Although it was Li Miao who came to attack him today, the two sides had already formed a feud.

It's not his style to let go of such an enemy who might become a Taoist, but it would be a good thing if he could conquer him and work for him.

So after thinking about it, he first sent the cat demon to observe Li Miao. Anyway, with the kick he gave him, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed unless he took care of him for a month or two.

Chen Gang reported: "Brother Gou, according to your request, the Yamen reviewed the county annals, historical materials and even rural unofficial history, and found out that Jiling... what kind of ruins... what dynasty is that..."

Chu Qiguang had previously asked the Yamen to help check whether there were any historical records about certain relics in Jiling, and wanted to find out what was special about the place where the King Kong Sutra was stored in the King Kong Temple.

After all, he saw "Four Books Combined, Purple Mansion Appears" in that book, and wanted to use historical records to see if he could find relevant clues to the "Secrets of the Purple Mansion".

At this moment, seeing Chen Gang looking like he couldn't explain everything clearly, Chu Qiguang said helplessly: "You should also read a little bit, otherwise no matter how good you are in martial arts, you will still look like a fool, counting money after being cheated."

Chen Gang just smiled and dealt with it. It was impossible to study, only practicing martial arts and following Brother Dog to kill people and set fires were interesting. Seeing that Chu Qiguang continued to persuade him to study, Chen Gang directly took out the documents sent by the county government: "By the way, I'm afraid I'll forget it and let them remember it here."

Watching Chu Qiguang take the document in his hand, Chen Gang felt a little emotional.

He still remembered that when Brother Gou first came to Qingyang County, he had to sneak in and do it himself if he wanted to check the official documents of the county government. But now he just asked the subordinate officials and they helped to find it themselves.

Chu Qiguang read the contents of the document but nodded secretly, very satisfied with the work efficiency of the subordinate officials in the county government.

Because they didn't know what the Jiling ruins Chu Qiguang was looking for referred to, they actually looked for several possible historical events.

Chu Qiguang compared it secretly and locked on one of them.

"During the Guangshou period of the Chen Dynasty, a villager dug up an ancient ruins in Jiling and found a scripture in it."

"Later, he dedicated the scripture to the royal family at that time. Rumors caused a huge commotion. Several forces, including the Tianjian Sect and the Wuwei Sect, came to seize the scripture."

The record of the incident stopped abruptly at this point, at least no more records can be found in Qingyang County.

No one knows what the scripture is or what force it later seized.

Later, for some unknown reason, the Vajra Temple asked the Chu family to find this place, and hid the Sutra of the King of Mount Sumeru here, and gave it to the Chu family to guard. Then more than thirty years ago, the imperial court exterminated Buddhism. , the Chu family was renamed the Zhou family.

However, the county apparently has no records of the history from Jingang Temple to the Zhou family.

Chu Qiguang thought to himself: "I remember that before the great Han Dynasty in this world, there was the Dragon Clan and the Cholera Central Plains. After the Dragon Clan, there was the Xia Dynasty. After the Xia Dynasty, there was the Chen Dynasty. I calculated that this Chen Dynasty... is at least 30 years away from now. More than two thousand years ago.”

"But even if it is the Chen Dynasty, it seems that it should not be the barbaric style of the various beasts and bears in the ruins."

"Also, during the Chen Dynasty, someone discovered this relic. So could the scripture they dug out be the secret book of the Zi Mansion?"

It's a pity that Chu Qiguang can't answer this historical mystery now.

Instead, he looked at Qiao Zhi and asked about Tianjian Sect and Wuwei Sect.

Qiao Zhi shook his head and expressed ignorance about the Wuwei Sect, saying that he had never heard of such a sect and that it might have lost its inheritance and disappeared into history.

As for the Tianjian Sect, he had heard of it, but like the Immortal Way and the Emperor's Way, they were both classified as evil sects by the Han Dynasty. And it is much more mysterious than the Immortal Way and the Emperor's Way. Qiao Zhi only knows that this Tianjian Sect has mastered the "Shenguang Jingqi Sword" of 25 Zhengfa, and he doesn't know how specific it is.

"But since it is a cult..." Qiao Zhi said: "In the future, you might be able to find information about them in the Demon Suppression Division. After all, the Taoist school of the Demon Suppression Division specializes in dealing with demons and evil gods. These cults are all It’s up to them.”

Chu Qiguang nodded. This may be the only information available in Qingyang County. If you want to know more clues about the secrets of the Zi Mansion, the Zhenmo Division seems to be a good place to go.

…

In December of the 15th year of Yong'an, Chu Youtian of the Wolf Clan finally rushed back to Qingyang County with 5,000 silver and more than a dozen martial arts secret books.

Seeing that after injecting 5,000 taels, the deposit suddenly increased to 5,512 taels, 5 cents, 4 cents and 1 cent, Qiao Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was already feeling more and more panicked as his money decreased day by day, but now he finally felt a little more comfortable.

And more than ten martial arts secret books of the monster clan can allow all kinds of monsters under Chu Qiguang to have martial arts suitable for them.

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "There are already more humans than monsters. The key is to unify their bodies. Unlike monsters, whose body shapes are hugely different and whose martial arts are not the same."

"That's why the development of monster martial arts lags far behind human martial arts. There are even no monsters who can rely on martial arts to enter the Tao."

"If a monster wants to enter the Tao, the only way is to practice Taoism."

After this capital injection, Master Tongtian and the Northwest Wolf Clan have also reached consensus in many aspects, and will further deepen cooperation and make more preparations for the Wolf Clan to go south to the Central Plains in the future.

Early this morning, there was already soft snow falling in the sky.

It has entered winter, and every household in Qingyang County is staying in their houses, and the entire street looks extremely depressed.

At noon that day, the craftsmen finally produced the prototype of the first water-powered spinning machine.

After all, there are pictures that Chu Qiguang restored based on his past life memories, so the craftsmen's research progress is relatively fast.

After several months, at least at first glance, Chu Qiguang now saw that the water-powered spinning machine in front of him was almost the same as the one in the portrait in his memory.

Because it was a test machine, it was not really built on the riverside. Instead, a horse was pulled to temporarily pull the runner with horse power instead of water power.

The craftsman who spoke was named Xie Yan. He was about thirty-five or sixty years old. His body was wrinkled and his hands were calloused from long-term work.

Chu Qiguang found that not only did he know Braille, but he also had the most flexible mind, so he was now asked to take the lead among the craftsmen.
