Ruins of the past

As soon as Chu Qiguang returned home, his mother hurriedly asked: "Gouzi, where did you go last night?"

Chu Qiguang smiled and picked up the fresh meat and rabbit skin in his right hand and said, "I was so hungry last night that I went to the back mountain to catch rabbits."

The mother's eyes lit up when she saw the rabbit meat: "When did you learn to catch rabbits?"

Chu Qiguang had already thought of an explanation: "Didn't my father teach me before? I have been practicing secretly these days. I just wanted to catch you and tell you."

"My son is really capable. I'm going to change some oil and fry some rabbit meat for you today. This rabbit skin is a bit too small. I'll make you a pair of insoles for winter."

Ergou's mother had full trust in her son, without any doubt at all. There was no need for Chu Qiguang to make up any other excuses he had thought of, and he happily took the rabbit meat to deal with it.

"I smell meat!"

"Who brought the meat?"

The younger sister in the room ran out excitedly, wandering around her mother, staring at the rabbit meat in her mother's hand with wide eyes, as happy as if it was the New Year.

My mother drove me away: "Don't hang around me, go play with your brother."

Sister Ergou was kicked out, but she still stayed outside reluctantly, watching her mother busy with expectancy.

Chu Qiguang knelt down and touched Qiao Zhi, who came back with him. This wild cat who often played with Ergou did not arouse any doubts from his mother and sister.

Qiao Zhi was accompanied by two cats, the same two wild cats that took Chu Qiguang up the mountain and played with Sister Ergou.

The two wild cats are a male and a female. According to Qiao Zhi, the male tabby cat is called Yudan and the white female cat is called Jinxiu. They are considered to be the smarter cats among Qiao Zhi's cats.

Qiao Zhi pouted at the two cats, and they disappeared out of the room: "Don't worry, Yudan and Jinxiu will be watching while you are away. If the Wang family wants to do anything, they will come and inform us right away."

Chu Qiguang asked in his heart: "What are the qualifications of my sister and my mother?"

He thought to himself that since he was so qualified, his sister and mother might also be geniuses, and they would be able to help him if they became successful in cultivation.

Qiao Zhi said categorically: "Except for you, all of your family are useless in practicing Taoism and martial arts. If you don't practice for ten or eight years, you won't be able to get in."

"No way." Chu Qiguang recalled Ergou's memory, and said while thinking: "My mother only wears a short coat in the winter, and her body is still hot when working barefoot. At first glance, she is not an ordinary person. His physique, is he a person who practices martial arts? Is he a Nine-Yang body or a Extreme-Yang body?"

Qiao Zhi licked his beard and said disdainfully: "Eighteen generations of your family have been poor farmers, and they often cannot afford clothes and shoes. From generation to generation, they have become more and more resistant to cold, and their soles are prone to sweating and body heat. It’s not really a martial arts talent.”

‘Is it hereditary? I really...after coming to this world, I too regarded some normal phenomena as supernatural. ’

Chu Qiguang thought for a while and then asked: "Then you see that my sister has all kinds of fantastic ideas every day, such as being unconstrained and unconstrained, and not sticking to one pattern. Shouldn't she be a good Taoist talent?"

As soon as he heard about Sister Ergou, Qiao Zhi immediately sat up straight and opened his mouth and said: "You can't do it! You can't do it! With your sister's character and temper, it's too easy to go crazy. You don't know how many cats and people you will harm. You must not let her practice Taoism, otherwise you won’t know how many times you will have to wipe her butt in the future.”

Chu Qiguang nodded when he heard this. Although he felt that Qiao Zhi's tone was a bit weird, Qiao Zhi was indeed the most authoritative practitioner he knew at present. He still planned to listen to this cat and gave up the idea of ​​letting his sister and mother practice. It's not the right time to reveal this to them, let's talk about it later.

Qiao Zhi changed the subject and asked, "When will we take action against the Wang family?"

Chu Qiguang: "In the past few days, let your animals, such as birds, cats and dogs, monitor the Wang family's situation. We will make a decision before taking action."

So in the next few days, Chu Qiguang practiced martial arts and Taoism under the guidance of Qiao Zhi every day.

Sitting in meditation for two hours every day not only completely replaced sleep, but also made him energetic and his understanding improved slightly every day.

And his physical body has laid the foundation with the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Method. He eats supplements every day, walks, sits and lies under the supervision of Qiao Zhi to maintain the state of practice. His physical strength and control are also rapidly improving, and he is constantly moving towards the first level of martial arts. Standard is close.

In just a few days, both mentally and physically, I was completely transformed.

…

On a platform in the back mountain, three mice and two sparrows lined up neatly in front of Qiao Zhi, making bursts of chirping sounds, like soldiers reporting their mission to the general.

These are the little demons sent by Qiao Zhi to monitor the Wang family, and he has trained each one of them step by step.

Although these little monsters don't have any extraordinary power, they already have some intelligence and can simply communicate with Qiao Zhi. They are very difficult to detect when used to spy on humans.

Qiao Zhi swung his tail, listening to their feedback, and then told Chu Qiguang one by one, and finally asked: "How is it? Do you want to continue today?"

Chu Qiguang nodded: "Just today."

Qiao Zhi said: "Have you decided whether to study liberal arts or martial arts?"

These days, Chu Qiguang and Qiao Zhi are not only practicing, but also learning the world's characters, culture, and all kinds of information from all over the world.

With the understanding brought by the second level of cultivation and Chu Qiguang's own wisdom, he learned very quickly, absorbing the knowledge Qiao Zhi taught him like a sponge, and became more and more understanding of the conditions of the world.

Chu Qiguang replied: "I decided to take the martial arts exam."

In this feudal world, the most effective way to join the imperial court and quickly change your destiny is naturally the imperial examination.

However, if he wanted to take the liberal arts exam, Chu Qiguang would have to learn the cultural knowledge of this world from scratch, as well as gain reputation and make connections, which would be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

On the contrary, in the martial arts examination, the strong is strong and the weak is weak. It is clearly stated there. Chu Qiguang only needs to rely on his own qualifications to pass the exam.

Qiao Zhi said: "The martial arts exam has more rules than the liberal arts exam. The first level of the county exam also requires a local person of high moral character to vouch for it. If you don't get their approval, you won't even have the chance to participate in the martial arts exam."

Chu Qiguang looked in the direction of the Wang family and said calmly: "So I want to use the Wang family as a stepping stone to help me get in touch with the real wealthy families in Qingyang County."

…

That night, in the bedroom of the young master of the Wang family.

Naturally, the young master of the Wang family has a surname of Wang and a given name of Cailiang. He is seventeen years old this year and is the only male of the Wang family. He has practiced martial arts and literature since he was a child. The master of the Wang family has always been eager to see his son become famous and honor his family.

Wang Cailiang was lying on the bed that day and touched a wound on the back of his hand.

He didn't know where the vicious dog was blocking his way on the way back home a few days ago. He was about to kick the vicious dog away, but he didn't know that the dog could bite him on his right palm after being kicked hard by him. After one bite, he ran away with his tail between his legs and was never found again.

At this moment, the young master of the Wang family felt itchy on the wound on his right palm. He could only toss and turn and find it difficult to sleep.

In this quiet night, he suddenly heard the rumble of the wind outside the window and the door of his room suddenly sounded.

Wang Cailiang was thinking that the maid didn't close the door properly, but suddenly he heard the sound of wind approaching, and the door was blown open.

Then there was a clanging sound of footsteps approaching the bed. Wang Cai became frightened in his conscience and raised his eyes to look beside the bed.

Then he saw a tall black figure standing at the head of the bed. He could not see clearly in the darkness. His head seemed to be vaguely touching the beam of the room. Two green lights were like will-o'-the-wisps, looking at him dimly.

A high-pitched and thin voice sounded: "You are a dandy, you kicked me in the stomach that day and caused me to die violently. Today I am looking for you to take revenge."

"Are you that vicious dog?" Wang Cai was frightened in his conscience. He rolled over and wanted to run out of the house. However, he found that his vision went dark and his head was covered by something. The next moment, he felt a pain in the back of his head and fainted. Dead in the past.

The next morning, the maid came to take care of the young master with a hot water towel to wash up. She found Wang Cailiang lying on the ground, with his upper body naked and his back covered with black hairs. The maid was so horrified that she dropped the basin and shouted. As he left, the whole government was immediately alarmed.
