Ruins of the past

From what Abbot Chenzhu told him, Fei Yi, the former chief assistant, probably knew that his mother was dying soon, and also understood that the emperor's attitude could not rob her of her love, so that he could continue to be the chief assistant without Ding You.

So he has been thinking of ways to fight Wu Ge Lao so that officials from his own faction can take over as chief assistant.

Now that Wu Gelao has won the position of chief assistant, the conservatives under Fei Yi will definitely not let Chu Qiguang go.

Qi Feiyi was originally a professor of northern martial arts, a strong man who had been practicing martial arts for 20 years.

He cultivated countless martial arts scholars and martial arts scholars in the northern martial arts school in the imperial court every year. He had a high reputation among the entire northern scholar forest and represented the interests of a large number of northern noble families. I don't know how many warriors and officials looked up to him. .

Even if Ding You returns home now, he still has an astonishing reputation in the officialdom, and countless people will continue to work for him to rejoin the cabinet in the future.

"You have exposed your talents this time, and you have been branded as Mr. Wu Ge. They will definitely want to kill you while you are still young." Chen Zhu reminded: "Especially because you don't have an official status now, kill you It’s just a small thing to them, so be careful.”

Chu Qiguang nodded to express his understanding, and then he bought 32 Qi Qi Pills from Chen Zhu. It wasn't that he didn't want to buy more, but that was all Chen Zhu had on hand.

Abbot Chenzhu advised: "You can't finish it all in one sitting after buying so much. This is not how you spend your money."

In the end, Chu Qiguang decided to buy all 32 of them, and Abbot Chenzhu gave him a discount and charged him 2,300 taels of silver.

Together with the various expenses these days, Chu Qiguang's assets suddenly shrank to 7,600 taels of silver.

However, with 32 Qi Qi Pills in hand, he returned to his yard and planned to practice martial arts first.

"32 plus the 5 that Ding Daoxiao took, that's 37, which should allow me to break through to the fourth level of martial arts." Chu Qiguang thought to himself: "If I break through to the fourth level, I can swallow the lion again. Tiger bone paste, this way I won’t be considered weak in the fourth realm.”

So after he returned to the yard, he began to eat pills one after another, and his strength continued to cross towards the fourth realm.

Chu Qiguang was thinking while eating: "I haven't been sick for three days. Counting the time... I should be here tonight."

"Li Changqing will use it when the time comes. After all, he has taken the elixir and it will expire soon if it is not used again."

"When the time comes, I will take advantage of my spiritual sublimation to practice martial arts, continue taking medicine... and break through to the fourth level of martial arts in one go."

…

On the other side, shortly after Chu Qiguang left, there was a sudden flash of light not far from Abbot Chenzhu, and a young Taoist priest in white robes and white hair with a bun came out.

‘Is it an invisibility charm? ’ Abbot Chenzhu was slightly startled. Those in the Tianshi Sect who could possess the invisibility talisman must not be ordinary people. After seeing the young man’s appearance, he showed a hint of understanding: “Uncle Yulou? Why are you here?”

The Taoist priest known as Jade Tower sighed: "It's Qing Ling's business. The Immortal Taoism has a very big plan. I have always wanted to combine the two methods of "Mingli" and "Elixir of Death" into one, so I have to come."

When Abbot Chenzhu heard these words, his eyes showed horror. It turns out that each of the 25 Zhengfa is already a unique skill among the unique skills, containing countless mysteries, but it is also extremely dangerous to practice.

At the beginning, he was afraid of danger and did not practice the 3 of the 25 righteous methods possessed by the Tianshi Sect. He could not imagine how difficult it would be to practice if the two methods were combined into one.

Yulou looked at the place where Chu Qiguang disappeared and asked, "Is that person Chu Qiguang?"

Abbot Chenzhu said: "Uncle, do you know him too?"

Yulou said: "This young man has turned his hands into clouds and rain in recent months, and even destroyed the Ding family...but he has caused a big disturbance in the capital. Is he willing to join the religion?"

Abbot Chenzhu said: "He said he was determined to do scientific research."

Yulou sighed: "If you don't practice Taoism, you will never become a man of my generation. You can do business with him, but don't let him interfere with the teaching affairs. That indulgence is inconsistent with the teachings, has a bad influence, and cannot be sold. You can let him Use another name to make money."

Abbot Chenzhu immediately nodded in agreement, but when he looked up again, he found that Taoist Yulou had disappeared.

…

Two days later, the location of the North City Gate of Qingyang County.

A young man about 25 or 6 years old, wearing a white scholar's robe and a sword at his waist, walked into the city gate with a smile.

His name is Lin Zifeng, and he is a martial arts scholar in the 12th year of Yong'an. In the past two years, he has been traveling in the north, visiting aristocratic families and fighting demons with his sword. He has become famous among the scholars in Lingzhou.

When I passed by the Chen family in Liyang County a few days ago, I heard that the palace in Shenjing was now full of smoke and smoke.

The surrendered prime minister not only squeezed away Fei's chief minister, but also suppressed loyal ministers and wise men everywhere. He not only competed with the people for profit and exploited the soldiers and civilians of the nine sides, but also eliminated dissidents and colluded with the eunuchs in order to please the emperor and gain power, which attracted Lin Zifeng to follow him. Others cursed.

The Ding family was considered by them to be loyal ministers and righteous men who resisted the Wu family but were brutally persecuted.

I heard that this time there was a despicable villain named Chu Qiguang who colluded with the Taoist temple and the magistrate of Qingyang County, led a group of unscrupulous people to attack the Ding family and killed Zhongliang. Everyone started to revile Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang didn't know that he was already notorious among the scholars in Lingzhou, and everyone wanted to beat him.

Lin Zifeng immediately expressed to the Chen family that he would come to Qingyang County to eliminate this traitor, break his hands and feet, destroy his martial arts, and eliminate a great harm to the country and the people.

At the banquet, countless people came to him, gave him gifts, and even wrote poems, which made Lin Zifeng even more proud.

After all, Chu Qiguang is just a second-level martial artist who has not even passed the martial arts examination. He can gain fame in the northern scholarly forest by destroying the opponent. Lin Zifeng really feels that he is making money no matter how he thinks about it.

He quickly found the small courtyard rented by Chu Qiguang according to the address given to him by the Chen family, and entered it with a slight jump, just in time to see brother Chen Gang shoveling shit.

Lin Zifeng looked at the cat poop he stepped on, showed a disgusted expression, looked at Chen Gang's younger brother and said, "Is Chu Qiguang here?"

At this moment, in Chu Qiguang's small courtyard, most of the cat demons went out to inquire about news and collect intelligence for Chu Qiguang during the day.

Chen Gang and his two younger brothers were left cleaning the house, shoveling cat poop, and cooking cat meals to save money.

Chen Gang heard a strange noise outside and walked out. He saw Lin Zifeng holding a sword in its scabbard, and Chen's second brother had fallen to the ground.

He picked up a piece and turned around, then pointed at Lin Zifeng and cursed: "Damn it..."

Lin Zifeng frowned: "Look for a fight."

After saying that, Chen Gang only saw a flash of black shadow, and there was a sharp pain in his mouth, and he covered his mouth and moved back.

Chen Sandi howled and rushed forward to help, but saw Lin Zifeng flicking the scabbard of his sword and sending him flying with the same slap.

Chen Gang casually grabbed a stone lock and threw it towards Lin Zifeng. However, Lin Zifeng snorted and stepped away. The scabbard made an explosion as he swung it, and he was slapped out. His face was swollen. .

Seeing Chen Gang struggling and still wanting to make a move, Lin Zifeng looked at him coldly and said, "What a cunning man. You can tell who Chu Qiguang is from your little boy. I will do justice to God today." .”

A cat demon was hiding on the beam. Seeing this scene, he ran out immediately: "Someone is coming! Go find Brother Qiao Zhi and tell Mr. Chu!"

…

Originally, after Chu Qiguang finished talking about the textile business at the Wu family today, he was discussing the water-powered spinning machine and water-powered loom with the craftsmen hired by the Wu family and the Taoist Temple, and showed them the picture album he had drawn.

As a result, we were in the middle of the conversation when we heard Qiao Zhi coming to complain, saying that someone came to the door and beat Chen Gang.

It wasn't a big deal to beat Chen Gang. Anyway, Chen Gang was beaten by him every now and then.

The key was that it prevented Chu Qiguang from making money, so he returned to the small courtyard angrily. Chu Qiguang asked Qiao Zhi, "Has anyone seen this guy enter my courtyard?"

Two updates in the evening
