Ruins of the past

At this moment, Qiao Zhi only felt that all his martial arts training over the years had been transferred to dogs.

On the other side, Chu Qiguang, who knocked Chen Gang unconscious with one punch, exhaled a breath of turbid air. He felt that the anger in his heart was gone, his illness was healed, he was healthy again, and the ferocious look on his face was gone.

"I seemed to have made a noise just now?"

Chu Qiguang recalled the process of punching just now, and punched out several times in succession, but there was no more air explosion.

Qiao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "You should have been in good condition just now and had prepared your sprint in advance, so that you could deliver that punch. Your own physical strength should not have reached the minimum requirement of the first level. You need to continue taking tonics to replenish your body and warm your body.”

Chu Qiguang nodded: "I will go to the Taoist temple to buy medicine tomorrow."

He looked at Chen Gang, who was knocked to the ground by his punch and was already motionless, and suddenly he panicked: 'That punch just now seemed to be too good... Could this guy be killed by my punch? ’

‘Please don’t die! ’

‘I have just entered the rising stage of my career, so I can’t get involved in a lawsuit. ’

Chu Qiguang hurriedly walked up to see if the other party was dead.

Chen Gang, who was beaten to the ground, suddenly moved, and then struggled to stand up. Although he was knocked down by Chu Qiguang's punch, he had never practiced martial arts, so naturally he couldn't see the cleverness of Chu Qiguang's punch just now. I just felt that Chu Qiguang had accidentally punched him down, and he shouted angrily: "I don't accept it! Ergouzi! Why do you..."

Chu Qiguang breathed a sigh of relief, then stepped up and stepped on the opponent's head, saying fiercely: "Don't come here to challenge me. Next time, I will step on your head."

After saying that, he stomped Chen Gang hard, almost knocking Chen Gang's breath away. He was so angry that his body was shaking, but he was helpless.

Chu Qiguang simply walked to the back mountain, intending to complete today's practice lessons.

Along the way, he looked at his hands and feet again and said: "The practice during this period is still very effective. I would never have been able to win so neatly before."

Qiao Zhi jumped onto Chu Qiguang's left shoulder at some point, looked in Chen Gang's direction, thought for a moment, and said proactively: "Actually, this Chen Gang's future will not be simple."

"Oh?" Chu Qiguang turned around and looked over: "Do you want to reveal his future situation?"

Qiao Zhi turned his face away, not daring to look at Chu Qiguang with a guilty conscience, and whispered: "He may be appreciated by the Wang family in the future, and may be trained for a few years and sent to participate in martial arts, and then he may go to the northern martial arts school to further his studies. Just fight with the best in the world."

"ah?"

Chu Qiguang's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Chen Gang in disbelief: "Can a guy like this fight against the best in the world?"

The second thing that came to his mind was: 'Should I just do him now? Lest he retaliate against me in the future? ’

Qiao Zhi nodded: "Yes, so he was killed with one move."

"..." Chu Qiguang rolled his eyes and asked: "Speaking of which, is there anyone recognized as number one in the world? Who is it?"

Qiao Zhi: "Don't underestimate him because he was killed in one move. For the number one in the world, he would die without even having to make a move for an ordinary person. If he can make one move, he is already considered an elite in the military."

"As for who is number one in the world..." Qiao Zhi said in a complicated tone: "Of course it is the leader of the Tianshi Sect, Zhengyin, the Taoist Records Secretary of the Imperial Court, the Great Master of the Zhengfa Supporting Teaching, Huang Daoxu, who has been in Taoism for twenty years."

Chu Qiguang nodded: "Master of the Heavenly Master Sect? If you can kill Chen Gang in one move like me, you can imagine how powerful he is."

Qiao Zhi: "he~tui!"

Next, Chu Qiguang meditated in the back mountain, practiced martial arts and literature, and practiced until dawn.

After beating Chen Gang, he felt that he was full of energy that night. During the martial arts practice, he hit a few more empty shots. He was getting closer and closer to the first level of martial arts. He even felt that he had no big problem with his skills and was lacking in skills. It is still a lack of physical and physical strength.

So at dawn, he went down the mountain to the county seat, and spent his money to buy a Bailian ointment from the Taoist temple.

…

Although the Taoist temple in Qingyang County is not well-known, when viewed from a distance, the corridors are winding and the palace walls are towering.

There was an endless stream of men and women coming to burn incense and worship the gods at the entrance of the gate. Chu Qiguang could even see some people walking and kowtowing from a long way away, and kowtowing step by step to the Taoist temple.

When I walked into the gate, I saw a Feng Shui eight-character wall in front of the Taoist temple, which was painted red.

Just as Chu Qiguang approached the Taoist temple, he saw several county government officials walking quickly towards the gate of the Taoist temple, walking in a hurry, with anxiety and worry on their faces.

Chu Qiguang heard an old man on the side say: "Have you heard? There has been a corpse murder case in Yaozitou Village."

Another young man asked in surprise: "Didn't the mutiny case happen in Boxing County? Why did it come to us?"

The old man shook his head and sighed: "Those evil cult demons must have come to our Qingyang County. This must be the reason why the county master asked Master Qingling in the temple to eliminate the demons."

Chu Qiguang stood aside and listened to the discussion of passers-by. He touched his chin and thought: "Taoist Qingling is a monster, and now he is invited to kill monsters. This thing is really strange..."

After watching the guards pass by, Chu Qiguang also walked into the gate of the Taoist temple, walked around the eight-character wall, and saw the magnificent main hall, with carved beams and painted buildings on the corridors on both sides. Something was muttered softly on the futon.

In the back hall are the golden statues of the heavenly masters of the past dynasties, and there are incense, candles, paper letters, pigs, sheep, sacrifices and sweet wine offered to them all year round.

Beyond the next side door is the place where Taoist monks practice. You can faintly see Yao grass, flowers, pines and bamboos, but it is not open to ordinary people.

‘This is how much people’s fat and oil have been absorbed. ’ Chu Qiguang sighed: ‘If you had let me plan so much money, you would have become well-off long ago, and there would be no need to pray to gods or Buddhas. ’

Because Qiao Zhi was unwilling to enter the Taoist temple, Chu Qiguang came alone.

He walked around the main hall, then ran to a side door on the right side of the main door and walked in. This was the Taoist medicine shop.

The medicine shop is very large, the floor is paved with water-stained marble, and the surrounding walls are portraits of various gods from the Celestial Master Sect.

Although Chu Qiguang arrived very early, there were already people queuing up, including old farmers in linen clothes, scholars in scholar uniforms, hard workers in short coats, and boys in cotton shorts.

It seems that in Qingyang County, everyone from high-ranking officials to peddlers will buy medicine from this Taoist temple's pharmacy.

Because this drug shop not only sells Bailian ointment for martial arts training, but also Duozi Duofu pills, Songzi ointment, longevity pills, Tianshi talismans, which are exclusively sold by Tianshi Sect. They are all sold here. For people who believe in Tianshi Sect, they are all sold here. For me, this is a place you must visit in your lifetime.

However, except for Bailian Ointment, according to Qiao Zhi, those sold later are all scams.

…

After queuing all the way, it was finally Chu Qiguang's turn to buy medicine. He stared at the clerk in front of him, fearing that he was short of money.

The waiter used a scale to weigh the money given by Chu Qiguang, and was stared at by the other party with a confused look.

He then used pliers to cut off a corner of the silver and weighed each of them.

"Please take a look, sir. I'll charge you a total of thirty-four taels."

The Bailian ointment sold in Taoist temples is calculated by portion, and the price of each portion fluctuates depending on the portion, year, and source.

What Chu Qiguang bought was a new medicine refined this year by Baiyunguan in the divine capital city. Baiyunguan was world-famous for its level of medicine refining. It was also a new ointment made this year, and the price was also above the average price.

Chu Qiguang nodded, counted the silver and Bailian ointment, and asked, "Has the price of this medicine increased recently?"
