Ruins of the past

After Chu Qiguang heard what Qiao Zhi said about Li Jian, an idea came to his mind.

‘Li Jian seems to be studying things like the cultivation of herbal medicines. Does the so-called achievement refer to this aspect? ’

'Hmm... It seems that after returning to the mountain this time, I should get close to Li Jian and see what he comes up with. ’

After thinking about Li Jian, Chu Qiguang asked Qiao Zhi again about the characteristics of the Four Magic Suppression Division, wanting to see what else Qiao Zhi knew.

Especially about Wanguilu and Taiyingxizao.

After hearing this, Qiao Zhi said quickly: "I don't know the specifics... I only know that the mortality rate is very high if you practice these two Taoist techniques."

"And even after you have mastered it, the side effects are huge. Not just in terms of being possessed by demons, but I heard it can even affect your mental capacity to practice and your future potential."

"So even if the Demon Suppression Division asks you to practice these two Taoist techniques, you must not practice them."

Chu Qiguang also saw in the historical materials of the Zhenmo Division that many ascetics in the past pursued their pursuit of Taoism.

Another example is that the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty pursues a realm above Taoism every day in his Palace of Eternal Life.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang heard Qiao Zhi talking about potential, and asked: "After entering the Tao, is there a higher realm? So potential is also important?"

Qiao Zhi nodded and said: "Of course there is. For example, if you can ascend to the immortal world again in the future, it will definitely be a deeper state than entering the Tao."

"And I'm not sure what the different realms are between entering the Tao and ascension."

Qiao Zhi sighed: "In the world, those who can enter the Tao are already talented people, and throughout the ages, those who can reach the level are rare in a hundred years."

"The information contained therein is all secret among secrets. It may only be recorded by the highest level of the Chinese sect that has been circulated for many years."

"And their cultivation methods are different from each other, and their methods of entering the Dao are also different. I'm afraid their descriptions, judgments, and divisions of entering the Dao are different."

"But I've heard people say that... after entering the Tao... there are different paths after the twenty-five dharma rectifications... which already involve the changes in the movement of heaven, and are not determined by one's talent or temperament."

Listening to what Qiao Zhi said, Chu Qiguang thought of the record about the Vajra Temple on the second floor of the Zhenmo Division's library.

Chu Qiguang immediately spoke out: "On the second floor of the Demon-Suppressing Department's Great Library... I saw that on top of the "Sutra of the King of Mount Sumeru" was written, there were also "The Power of Dragon and Elephant Great Freedom", "Vajra Phases" and " "The Esoteric Vajra Warriors Meeting Sutra". Have you heard of this?"

Qiao Zhi's cat eyes widened curiously: "Is there such a thing in the Vajra Temple? From your description, these three books should be the exploration of the Tao by the masters of the Vajra Temple in the past, right?"

"Since the Demon-Suppressing Division destroyed the Vajra Temple back then, there might still be these three scriptures. Since you practice the "Sutra of King Sumeru", you should look for opportunities to find out the whereabouts of these three scriptures."

One person and one cat were exchanging information about what Chu Qiguang had gained on Chaoyao Mountain this time, while exploring various possibilities for the Chaoyao Mountain tragedy.

During this period, Chu Qiguang also asked about the four great sutra kings Shi told him, and found that Qiao Zhi didn't know about it either.

After returning to Yaoyin Village unknowingly, I found that my sister was no longer doing questions in the room.

Chu Qiguang picked up the other party's test paper and looked at it, and saw that the seventh question was on it, which was a question about filling in the blanks based on the pattern of numbers.

It is full of traces of various alterations.

Just by looking at this handwriting, Chu Qi could feel the writer's mood from doubt to irritability... and finally complete despair.

‘Well, it is indeed a bit difficult for my sister to do this question now. ’

…

Beside a stream near Yaoyin Village.

Zhou Yujiao looked at her reflection in the water with a sad look on her face.

Her confidence had been destroyed by the questions on the test paper, and she felt that she was really just like Chu Qiguang said, a fool.

Suddenly a scent of fragrance penetrated her nose, and tears flowed down from the corners of her mouth. Zhou Yujiao felt that she was hungry again.

Looking at the pancake that Chu Qiguang placed on her, Zhou Yujiao swallowed her saliva, pursed her lips and said, "I'm not hungry."

Chu Qiguang took a bite of the pancake and asked, "Why are you crying?"

Zhou Yujiao watched her brother eat the noodles in several bites, her eye circles became red again: "I don't know how to make it!"

"I can't do any of the questions on the test paper!"

"Brother! Am I really a fool?"

"Why are you so smart and I'm so stupid?"

"You are not my biological child, right?"

Seeing the good-for-nothing sister with an aggrieved face, Chu Qiguang surprisingly did not hit her again. Instead, he touched his sister's head and comforted him: "I saw the questions you answered on the paper. It's pretty good. Change it." I’m afraid no one can answer it.”

Hope emerged in Zhou Yujiao's eyes: "Is it true?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Of course it is true, you are not a fool, you are very smart."

Zhou Yujiao became happy: "Am I very smart?"

Chu Qiguang continued: "Smart, I'll be leaving soon. Remember to study hard with Master Qiao Zhi and do the questions seriously. You can teach other monsters in the village in the future."

With that said, Chu Qiguang took out something from his arms and handed it to his sister: "Here, you are always clamoring for it."

Looking at the silver-white cat hair in her hand, my sister suddenly became happy: "Brother! This is your cat hair? It's so beautiful..."

Chu Qiguang looked at Qiao Zhi aside and said in his heart: 'It's okay. As long as you can't learn to die, you will learn to die. ’

"I've never been special. My sister and I should lead the way and take the lead in learning in the village."

He looked at his sister beside him, and a few lines of words passed through his eyes.

‘Good luck Jiaojiao. ’

Chu Qiguang was a little curious: ‘Is good luck considered a characteristic? What role will it play? ’

After arranging things in Yaoyin Village, Chu Qiguang took the Chongming Bird back to the vicinity of Chaoyao Mountain again.

In the days that followed, Chu Qiguang continued to return to peace.

Taking classes, practicing martial arts, and reading every day, both his strength and knowledge are improving rapidly.

He continued to rapidly climb towards the ranks of the top experts at a speed that no one knew existed.

And just a few days later, his fourth tentacle finally grew out, which meant that he had caught up with Yang Ling, a master of the Demon Suppression Division.

…

Chu Qiguang was reading in his courtyard that day.

Zhang Haizhu suddenly burst in, shouting: "Brother Chu! Something big has happened!"

Chu Qi said without raising his bald head: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Haizhu said: "Jiang Longyu is in the fourth realm!"

Chu Qi said indifferently: "Instructor Yang said last month that Jiang Longyu was about to break through the fourth realm. His vision is still very accurate. Isn't this normal?"

Zhang Haizhu said: "Aren't you worried? He has been holding back his energy since losing to you and wants to beat you! This time he is not annoying to death."

Chu Qiguang said calmly: "His fourth realm is comparable to my third realm. I don't think he is so boring."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from a distance: "Huh? Aren't these Zhang Haizhu and Chu Qiguang? You guys look really good."

The man walked in while touching his face and sighing.

"I can't do it anymore. I've exhausted my energy and blood in order to attack the fourth realm, and my face was as pale as a dead person in the morning."

"I originally wanted to take a few Shenzhi pills to replenish my health, but I accidentally took the wrong Ziyang Qi-Cheng Dan given to me by the emperor."

"Lecturer Li Jian saw what he was calling about the elixir refined by Fu Nanzi, the head of the elixir academy... I was so embarrassed that I covered my face and ran away."

"I think I will be too embarrassed to take the elixir class anymore. I'd better go find the head coach and practice martial arts more often."
