Ruins of the past

Chu Qiguang avoided the guard on the road, took a slight step, jumped over the wall, and came to the street at the back door of Miao's house.

The streets seemed a little deserted early in the morning, but Chu Qiguang turned a corner and saw beggars in ragged clothes and with cheeks red from the cold all along the wall.

These beggars were waiting eagerly in front of a small door.

After a while, as the servants of the Miao family came out to buy food, these beggars followed, pleading and begging for food.

The servants were laughing and joking, taking out quick pancakes from time to time and throwing them out, watching the beggars looting them.

Chu Qiguang looked at this scene and suddenly frowned. He looked at the magnificent Miao family compound and the beggars fighting for food. He thought to himself: 'Workers... are wasted like this. ’

He recalled the data collected by Chen Gang during this period. In Ba Mansion, more than 70% of the land has been occupied by major families. Ordinary people have either become tenants or can only beg and flee to other places along the road.

‘Sure enough, the existence of local bullies like the Miao family has affected the diversity of migrant workers and caused their death and endangerment. ’

‘If I want to open up wasteland and open a factory in Shuzhou in the future, there will still be too many wealthy families in this city. ’

Chu Qiguang shook his head, thinking about the situation in Ba Mansion, and continued walking in the direction of Tumen Fort.

Since he originally planned to come to Shuzhou, Chu Qiguang would certainly not only do one thing at a time.

In addition to joining the Taoist movement when he came to Shuzhou, he also took a fancy to the fact that the court in Shuzhou was weaker and wanted to open up a situation in Shuzhou.

At that time, we can work together with Yaoyin Village in the south and north to develop.

‘When the stock market in the north is closed, I will have enough funds to invest in Shuzhou. ’

During this period of time, he collected intelligence from Ba Mansion and Shuzhou, and came up with several projects.

After all, in addition to improving his own strength, Chu Qiguang has always been concerned about the development of his own power.

He wants more power, more wealth, more strength.

…

On the way back to Tumen Fort, Chu Qiguang could feel that there seemed to be fewer people in Bafu City than in the previous few days.

Several restaurants and silver shops have closed their doors and seem to be temporarily closed.

On the contrary, there are some martial arts people who are holding swords and swords, or members of the Jie Sect who spread their faith, or Taoist priests of the Tianshi Sect... The number of these people began to increase.

Chu Qiguang even saw a fight between a group of Taoist priests and members of the Jie Sect on the road.

He smashed the tables, chairs and counter of a teahouse to pieces.

And secretly, more monsters gathered outside the city.

The entire city seemed to be enveloped by a low pressure, and various robberies, murders, and cases of monster cannibalism also increased.

More and more people at the bottom have to hide at home and dare not go out easily.

‘In addition to me, Chen Gang, Lei Yushu, and Zhang Jitian must also improve their strength quickly. ’

After thinking about it, Chu Qiguang returned to Tumen Fort and took out the 'Golden Millet and Yellow Bud Pill' that he had treasured for a long time.

This elixir was still the prize given to him after he came first in the sect knowledge test over half a year ago.

It can temporarily improve the practitioner's understanding, and is most suitable for understanding martial arts and breaking through realms.

Chu Qiguang has already taken the pills from the other three prizes in the competition. Only the ‘Golden Millet and Yellow Bud Pill’ Chu Qiguang has never had the chance to use because his realm is too high and his qualifications are too good.

"But if you continue to hide it like this, the elixir will only become more and more devalued."

"As my strength improves, I will probably have less and less need for it in the future."

Chu Qiguang took out the elixir and looked at Lei Yushu and Chen Gang behind him.

Both of them seemed to have expectations in their eyes.

"Don't worry, you both have a share." Chu Qiguang soaked the elixir in water and dissolved it, and a scent of medicine came to his face.

Dividing the potion into two small bowls, Chu Qiguang pushed it to them: "Drink them all."

Chen Gang, who had been beaten by Liu Yao's gang before, still had ointment on his body. He picked up the bowl and drank the potion in big gulps.

It has been nine months since Chen Gang entered the second realm in June last year with Chu Qiguang’s guidance and elixir support.

And if you want to reach the third level, you need to penetrate the four tips of Qi so that you can sense and circulate Qi and blood.

Chen Gang has been working hard in this direction for the past nine months.

Now I drank the potion of Jinsuhuangyadan in one gulp, and I instantly felt that my brain was sharpened countless times.

This golden millet and yellow bud pill is indeed a pill refined by a strong Taoist.

The energy and blood that were originally vague and difficult to sense became clearer and clearer at this moment.

Along with a soft sound inside his body, he felt the energy and blood all over his body.

"The third realm!" Chen Gang felt the changes in himself, and tears suddenly flowed from the corners of his eyes: "I never thought that I, Cheng Gang, would one day enter the third realm. This is the realm of Master Wu Sheng."

Although Chu Qiguang had long looked down on the realm of Wusheng, it was the dream of many ordinary people in the Han Dynasty, and it was enough for them to transcend the realm of class.

"Brother Dog, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness..."

Chen Gang turned around to look, only to find that Chu Qiguang didn't even look at him.

At this time, Chu Qiguang was looking at Lei Yushu with concern: "Are you skipping a grade? Hahahaha..."

Chen Gang could only swallow half of what he said, and said silently in his heart: 'Brother Dog, Chen Gang's life will be yours from now on...'

Chu Qiguang rubbed Lei Yushu's head, as if looking at a rare treasure.

Lei Yushu, who had eaten the Golden Millet and Huangya Dan, was clearly in the first stage, but he had vaguely sensed the existence of Qi and blood in his body.

Chu Qiguang said happily: "This means that your sense of the body is enough, but your physical strength has not caught up yet. Next, you just need to exercise step by step, eat well, and take medicine. It is estimated that in ten or twenty days, you will be able to It’s the third level.”

Chu Qiguang judged in his heart: 'Is it because of the half-human and half-demon physique? However, I tried to get her to practice Taoism before, but she seemed to be completely unable to get started. ’

‘This Lei Yushu is a partial student and is incompetent in cultivation, but his talent in martial arts is even stronger than Jiang Longyu’s. ’

Chu Qiguang looked at Lei Yushu and said, "Yushu, if you reach the fifth realm quickly, you can help me."

Lei Yushu felt the warmth from Chu Qiguang's palm and felt more and more happy: "Master, I will definitely practice hard and help you change the world in the future."

Next, Chen Gang continued to go back to practice, while Lei Yushu ran to practice Kung Fu happily.

After Chu Qiguang finished teaching his disciples, he stayed alone in the room and silently took out the "Sutra of the King of Mount Sumeru" to meditate on it.

The second level of Steel and Iron Bone Kung Fu made Chu Qiguang feel that the process of enlightenment became smoother and smoother, and the energy and blood in his body became more and more vigorous.

"2714 days, 9 hours, 12 minutes and 46 seconds."

"Is it reduced by more than 400 days?"

…

In the city of Jinrong Mansion.

In front of the gate of the Taoist temple, groups of Jie Sect members swarmed up.

Either holding rocks or torches, they rushed towards the Taoist temple like a herd of animals.

The door was smashed open, tables, chairs, doors and windows were torn down one by one, and someone even lit a fire.

The Taoist priests in the temple rushed out quickly, their eyes wide open when they saw this scene.

"Kill them all!"

Most of the Jie sect members who attacked the Taoist temple were just civilians, and they were quickly suppressed by the Taoist priests, but the damage inside the Taoist temple was irreparable.

An hour later, Xie De rushed back to the Taoist temple.

He is a thin old man and the abbot of Jinrong Mansion Taoist Temple. He asked with a red face at this moment: "Who are these people?"

The Taoist priest on the side said: "After asking, they are all ordinary members of the Jie Sect."

Shade said angrily: "Who ordered them to come?"

None of these Jie Cult members could even read a word, couldn't count clearly, spoke incoherently, and answered questions incorrectly. Xie De led people to ask questions for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out who led them to destroy the Taoist temple.

At this moment, a Taoist boy hurried over and said in a panic: "Stop...abbot!"

"The statue has been scratched!"

Xie De shouted angrily and ran to the statue to take a look. He found that the golden statue of Xuanyuan Taoist had been severely poked with several holes in its face.

He felt a surge of blood rushing to his head and roared: "Who did this?!!"

In a teahouse outside the Taoist temple, Greedy Demon, one of the five types of demons in the Tribulation Sect, was drinking tea while looking at the chaos in the Taoist temple with a smile.

At the same time, attacks on Taoist temples by Jie sect members occurred across Shuzhou.

The strong men of the Tianshi Sect who were originally going to gather towards the Ba Mansion were suddenly delayed, fearing that their Taoist temple would be attacked.

The water was cut off twice in the past few days, and the faucet was flooded once. The whole house was flooded, and I was really dizzy. The updates in the past two days are a bit late, so please bear with me.
