Ruins of the past

"Chu Qiguang..."

"Next time we meet, I will beat the shit out of you..."

Jin Haitian was cursing in his heart, but the qi and blood in his body were circulating endlessly, and the layers of muscles were tense, as if he was wearing a layer of iron armor.

He slammed into the bluestone in front of him.

Amidst the flying stone debris, Jin Haitian seemed to mistake the boulder in front of him for Chu Qiguang.

With a crunching sound, he cracked and smashed the bluestone with his bare hands.

Then with the hatred and resentment towards Chu Qiguang in his heart, Jin Haitian seemed to be more motivated to practice.

In this process of constantly tempering his body, he could feel a trace of happiness.

After practicing until noon, Jin Haitian began to apply Bailian ointment on himself to speed up the repair of his physical body.

Time passed like this day by day, and Jin Haitian continued to adjust his state of mind and hone his physical body.

At noon that day, a middle-aged man dressed in smart clothes came to Jin Haitian, looked at him and said, "How are you?"

The middle-aged man's name is Gu Ruohe, and he is a general in Yunzhong Military Town.

He also comes from the Tianyu School, and has also received guidance from the gun lord Zhou Junyan. He can be regarded as Jin Haitian's senior brother.

Jin Haitian made a crackling sound, twisted his right arm into a gun, and smashed a dent into the armor in front of him.

He exhaled a burst of hot air and said calmly: "I'm so good that I couldn't be better."

"It's good that you haven't been affected by the rumors." Gu Ruohe nodded: "Tomorrow morning, you will go to Tianqu Mansion with me."

Jin Haitian asked doubtfully: "Didn't I just come back? Why do I have to go again? It has delayed my cultivation."

Gu Ruohe's eyes turned cold: "Military orders are like mountains, you just act according to them."

Jin Haitian knew that this senior brother was a soldier, so he nodded and agreed.

…

The next morning, Jin Haitian, Gu Ruohe rode horses and rushed to the location of Tianqu Mansion.

Along the way, Jin Haitian also learned the content of the mission, which was to protect someone.

Jin Haitian asked curiously: "Who wants to send out the two of us to protect him together?"

Gu Ruohe said calmly: "You will know when the time comes. Besides, the military order is like a mountain. You can do whatever you are told. Does it matter who it is?"

The two came to a small courtyard. As soon as they entered, they found that there were several groups of people in the courtyard, totaling more than 20 people.

Especially several of them looked familiar to him.

‘Tianshijiao? Northern martial arts? And people from the martial arts world? ’

Jin Haitian looked at several of them and was surprised: 'What is the origin of the person he wants to protect this time? There are so many experts gathered. ’

In the subsequent contact, Jin Haitian was even more surprised to find that each of the more than 20 people here had the strength of the fifth level of martial arts.

Among them, several Taoist priests from the Tianshi Sect are even abbots of Taoist temples who possess talismans.

…

Inside the Lingzhou library.

Chu Qiguang closed the book and sighed slightly: "I've finished reading."

So far, all the books in the Lingzhou library that are attractive to the Circle of Fool have been read, and the corresponding knowledge also exists in his mind.

Chu Qiguang looked at his chest, and lines of writing appeared in his eyes.

He muttered softly: "4 profound gifts, 1 dark gift, and 1 cursed gift."

Since reaching 4 profound gifts, Chu Qiguang discovered that he could now choose the Immortal Seal and upgrade it to the fourth level.

However, Chu Qiguang did not do this, but wanted to save more to see if he could improve other things.

The only pity is that now that I have finished reading the book, I still have to wait for the Demon Suppressor to collect the new profound gifts.

Then Chu Qiguang looked at the newly obtained cursed gift.

"A cursed gift is a gift given to seekers. It is said that seekers must possess inhuman power if they want to pursue knowledge."

The introduction of this cursed gift is a little unclear.

But Chu Qiguang guessed that the effect should be to give him something similar to the seeker's eyes, the contaminated seeker's soul, the power of the dragon's eyes, and the skin of the dragon and snake.

After he got the cursed gift, he also tried to save it, and found that it could indeed be stored in the Ring of Folly.

"But it seems there is no need to keep it all the time."

After thinking about it, Chu Qiguang directly inspired this cursed gift.

Then he felt this gift pouring into one of his spines, changing the structure of his spine.

"The spine of fanaticism, one section."

“Faith can be answered through prayer.”

"It is said that fanatical followers of the gods have the habit of carving scriptures on their spines."

"A person with this spine will be mistaken for the favorite of all gods."

Seeing the introduction of this spine, Chu Qiguang was slightly surprised, and then his face showed joy.

Originally, because he was a faithless person, he could not use the talismans taught by the Heavenly Master.

This has always been a pity for Chu Qiguang.

But according to the introduction of this fanatical spine, it clearly means that he can get a response of faith as long as he prays.

Does that mean that even if he is an unbelieving person, he can still inspire the power of the Tianshi Sect's talisman, the Emperor's Tao's talisman water... and various other sects and beliefs?

So he simply went to the Taoist temple in Lingzhou Zhenmo Division alone, clasped his hands and prayed towards the statue of Taoist Xuanyuan.

Chu Qiguang has read hundreds of Taoist scriptures taught by Tianshi, and is extremely familiar with various prayer movements, scriptures, and etiquette.

He was now reciting a Taoist scripture with familiarity, and immediately felt that it was different from the past.

It was as if a tingling air flow was gathering at that section of his fanatic spine.

He felt like he was being recharged. As he prayed, his spine was gradually filled with the power of faith.

After about a stick of incense, he felt that Kuang Xin's spine could no longer recharge.

‘It seems like I can really use the talisman. ’

Chu Qiguang decided to find time to try a piece of talisman paper.

Anyway, with his current power, it is not too difficult to obtain a talisman from the Celestial Master Sect.

'If it works, I should ask the Heavenly Master to teach me a batch of talismans for use. ’

The talismans taught by the Heavenly Master possess all kinds of incredible magical powers and must be very valuable.

But for Chu Qiguang now, being able to use money to increase his combat effectiveness is much more convenient than any hard work or study.

After coming out of the Taoist temple, Chu Qiguang found that Wang Cailiang was already waiting outside.

As soon as Wang Cailiang saw Chu Qiguang, he quickly said: "The helpers we have summoned are all here. Do you want to go see him now?"

Chu Qiguang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's meet."

So Chu Qiguang took Wang Cailiang to the agreed-upon small courtyard. As soon as he entered it, he saw that more than 20 people were already waiting here, and they all looked at him at this moment.

"Everyone, I think you have all received the notice and are coming to Tianqu Mansion to protect someone."

"And that person is me."

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Chu Qiguang."

"Some people may be going against me recently, so I sought the help of some shareholders..."

Jin Haitian on the other side widened his eyes and said with gritted teeth: "We want to protect Chu Qiguang?"

Gu Ruohe on the side said coldly: "This is a military order."

Jin Haitian became more and more angry as he thought about it: "But why? This kid took me..."

He thought again of the way he had been pissed on by the other party, as well as the various rumors and slanders during this period, and the ridicule of others intentionally or unintentionally...

Gu Ruohe said calmly: "If something happens to him, the entire military town will lose money."

Jin Haitian said angrily: "Is money so important? Is it more important than my dignity as a warrior?"

Gu Ruohe glanced at him and asked strangely: "What else?"
