Ruins of the past

"Who is your master?"

Wu Liangxu stared at Chu Qiguang closely and asked, "Is it Wu Siqi?"

Chu Qiguang was stunned and said: "Mr. Wu Ge is not my master. As for the master's name, I will not reveal it without his consent."

Qiao Zhi, who was hiding on the roof, nodded and said to himself while licking his paws: "Humph, how could Wu Siqi teach Chu Qiguang? From now on, you will know that his master is me."

Wu Liangxu didn't believe this at all. Who else in Qingyang County besides Wu Siqi could teach such a powerful person as Chu Qiguang? What's more, Chu Qiguang helped the Wu family deal with the Ding family as soon as he appeared. He even believed that Chu Qiguang was the secret weapon cultivated by Wu Siqi.

However, Wu Liangxu did not dwell on this. He looked at Chu Qiguang and said: "Young man, let's not talk about your master. Let me ask you, are you planning to go to the dark side with Wu Siqi?"

Of course, it was impossible for Chu Qiguang to tell his true plan, he just said perfunctorily: "I think Mr. Wu Ge did a pretty good job."

After hearing this, Wu Liangxu said angrily: "Wu Siqi is going against the grain."

Then he said seriously: "Young man, I tell you that what Wu Siqi is playing will not end well."

"You don't believe it? Then do you think the Dukes of the imperial court don't know about the troubles in Jiubian?"

"But the problem in Jiubian is just ringworm and scabies. The monster clan in the north is the most serious problem."

"Now we need to weaken the Nine Borders, and we also need to engage in peace talks and mutual trade. This gives the demon clan an opportunity to grow stronger. Who can resist the demon clan going south when the time comes?"

"Wu Siqi's move is self-destruction of the Great Wall! It is a move that will harm the country and the people!"

Chu Qiguang recalled what Qiao Zhi said and his own inference. He shook his head and said: "Rather than letting Jiubian rot, it is better to cut through the mess quickly, reform the military town, and organize a new army. I believe that in a few years Later, Mr. Wu Ge will give Jiubian Army Town a completely new look."

Wu Liangxu said angrily: "What about the demon tribe? They are already short of salt, iron, tea bricks, cotton cloth, etc. The late emperor wanted to implement border bans, cut off their daily necessities, and let the demon tribe weaken. As a result, you now have to trade with them to sell to them. , isn’t it capitalizing on the enemy?”

Chu Qiguang said: "Dumping Dahan's products to them will do us more good than harm..."

Wu Liangxu didn't believe what Chu Qiguang said at all, and interrupted him directly: "Young man, your and Wu Siqi's ideas are too radical. The big man can't stand your torment like this. Neither can the ambitious people in the court." You guys are allowed to do whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want."

Seeing Wu Liangxu leaving silently, Chu Qiguang didn't say much. He knew that it would be difficult to convince the other party with such different political views. Only if the other party sees the results of the nine-sided reform and mutual market in a few years will they be able to change their minds.

Hao Xiangtong on the side walked over and said: "Senior Wu Liangxu Wu, the Wu family in Shanyin and the Wu family in Qingyang were one family four or five generations ago, but they didn't have much contact after the separation."

Chu Qiguang was slightly surprised: "So that's it?"

Hao Xiangtong then chatted with Chu Qiguang for a few more words. Looking at the boy in front of him who was becoming more and more graceful, he felt that he seemed to be getting more and more attractive.

After waiting for a long time, Hao Yongtai did not come back. Hao Xiangtong said: "Chu Qiguang, let's go?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Let's wait for brother Yongtai."

Hao Xiangtong waited a little impatiently: "Just let Chen Gang stay and wait for him. The two of us will set off first."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Hao Xiangtong couldn't help but secretly thought: 'But if this happens... wouldn't it mean that Chu Qiguang and I are on the road together? ’

Thinking of this, Hao Xiangtong's face suddenly turned red: 'Isn't it bad? But this way I can let him tell me stories alone on the way... I just want to listen to him tell stories...'

"Huh?" Qiao Zhi on the roof suddenly raised his head, looked at Hao Xiangtong and thought to himself: 'Why does this woman always blush so easily? Could it be that... she has a fever? ’

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhi immediately said to Chu Qiguang in his heart: "Chu Qiguang, you have to be careful about this woman, she may be infected with the cold."

"October is the season of autumn and winter, and you are most likely to get sick. If the disease is passed on to you, wouldn't it delay your cultivation?"

"Martial artists must carefully protect themselves from getting sick when they go out. This is the true way to practice martial arts. You must carefully protect your body in every move you make."

While he was talking, Hao Yongtai ran back with a happy face. Hao Xiangtong asked him with a straight face what he was doing, but he didn't say anything. In the end, the group went on the road noisily.

On the third floor of the restaurant, Chen Yuebai from the Chen family in Liyang County was looking at the direction where Chu Qiguang and his party were going out, thinking to himself: "Compared to martial arts, I may not be able to beat you, but you still want to do what the Wu family does Textile business, then I will let you know what it means to go bankrupt."

On the way back, Chu Qiguang hired two carriages. He, Hao Yongtai, Hao Xiangtong and others sat in the carriage. Qiao Zhi secretly lay on the roof of the carriage. He began to ask Qiao Zhi for martial arts tips.

This time in the martial arts arena, Chu Qiguang realized this weakness of his, and naturally he would not fail to make up for it.

Qiao Zhi lay on the roof of the car and said in his heart: "The martial arts I performed on the ring this time is called the Immortal Seal. It is a martial arts created by a peerless strongman. It is specially used to draw strength and move blood. It has already been used in single combat. It’s very powerful, but group battles can bring out his power even more.”

"The Seal of Immortality? Isn't this a martial art from a novel on Earth?"

Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Chu Qiguang had some kind of guess in his mind.

Sure enough, after Qiao Zhi told him about the moves and mental techniques of the Immortal Seal, he immediately felt a strong sense of familiarity. All the concepts and habits of this Immortal Seal were very suitable for him.

"No wonder it's called this name."

Chu Qiguang smiled slightly and began to learn this unique fighting method seriously.

Qiao Zhi continued: "If the Immortal Seal is to be powerful, the key lies in technique and physical body."

"Technically, you need to be able to receive, transform, send, move, and rebound various forces."

"The physical body must be strong enough so that your bones and muscles will not hurt yourself when transmitting these forces."

"After all, no matter how much force the opponent hits, you must have a body as strong as the opponent to carry this force, so that you can use your bones and flesh to transmit the force, move and rebound."

"So in general, your physical body determines the upper limit of the strength you can rebound, and your skills determine the lower limit of the strength you can rebound."

"This Immortal Seal is divided into three realms. The first level can deflect the opponent's power, the second level can rebound the opponent's power, and the third level can rebound while adding your own power."

"I am currently on the third level, but it is said that there is a fourth level, which is said to be able to rebound the opponent's strength from a distance. That is a level that I cannot reach."

Chu Qiguang studied very seriously along the way, perhaps because his martial arts qualifications were particularly excellent, or perhaps because this martial arts suited him particularly well.

He kept rehearsing in his mind while riding on the carriage, and when he had free time, he seized the opportunity to try out the moves with Chen Gang. When he arrived in Qingyang County three days later, he had officially broken through to the first level of the Immortal Seal.

I need to sort out the outline today, and that’s it for this chapter tonight.
