Ruins of the past

According to what Qiao Zhi and Chen Gang told, the number of monsters in Yaoyin Village has exceeded three hundred.

The number of farmers has reached 500. The next time Chu Qiguang uses alchemy magic to enlighten them, they will be able to completely replace all manual labor in the village.

More than a dozen craftsmen of various kinds were kidnapped by Wang Cailiang. After Qiao Zhi used the Heavenly Demon Foundation Building Technique, they were conducting research according to the guidelines left by Chu Qiguang.

The wheat in the fields has matured. Starting from this month, Yaoyin Village will be self-sufficient, without Chu Qiguang having to bear a large amount of food.

Then Chu Qiguang came to the place where the scriptures were buried, dug out the scriptures and began to meditate on the "Sutra of the King of Mount Sumeru".

When he saw Chu Qiguang, his whole body was red, and traces of white air kept coming out of his body.

But Chu Qiguang's face was filled with contentment, his hand seals changed naturally, and his whole person was enveloped in white air... just like the Buddha in the temple.

After Chen Gang laid down a few eggs near Chu Qiguang, he stepped aside like Qiao Zhi.

Although Chen Gang has now entered the second realm with the support of the elixir, he still cannot resist the scorching heat emanating from Chu Qiguang's cultivation for a long time.

After all, he found that if he placed the eggs next to Chu Qiguang... they would be cooked after Chu Qiguang finished practicing.

But about half an hour later, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the distance. Riding on them were a group of brightly dressed angry horses, young men from a wealthy family carrying bows and arrows and carrying long knives.

There were also hounds, nurses, and servants in front and behind.

A young man in the lead had a face as beautiful as a crown jewel, and was wearing a thin piece of fine silk. It rustled with the strong wind, but still emitted streams of heat.

Another young man on the side said with envy: "Brother Zhang, your Qi and blood have turned into gods, and you have finally broken through the five realms of martial arts. You are expected to become a Jinshi in the future."

The man called Brother Zhang was named Zhang Jitian, and he was the legitimate son of the Zhang family in the nearby Zeyuan Mansion.

The Zhang family is the largest family in the Zeyuan Mansion, with three jinshis in the family. It is a wealthy family that no one dares to offend.

As the eldest grandson of the family, Zhang Jitian was also trained with countless resources since he was a child.

He was already at the fifth level of martial arts at a young age, but his father asked his family to save money for three years. Then he would go to the capital and make a splash, and come back as the top scholar in martial arts.

Recently, after Zhang Jitian made another breakthrough in martial arts, he became very quiet and thought about it. He took a group of senior followers, helpers, and some young masters to hunt foxes in the Chaoyao Mountain area.

Zhang Jitian smiled after hearing the compliment and said nothing.

The old hunter in front ran over and said: "Gentlemen, we have found traces of the white fox ahead."

"Okay, let's go." Zhang Jitian's eyes lit up, thinking that he would just use the white fox skin to make a fur coat for Miss Wang.

Then I saw the old hunter rushing to the front with a few hounds, and a group of people followed behind.

Suddenly a senior attendant said: "What is the steaming mist over there?"

A nurse said: "There are no hot springs here in Chaoyao Mountain? Could this be some kind of monster?"

Zhang Jitian laughed loudly and said: "Beyond here is the territory of the Demon Suppressing Division. Where can there be any monsters? Let's go over and take a look at what they are."

The group of people rode close to Chu Qiguang's location, but were stopped by Chen Gang from a distance.

Chen Gang clasped his fists and said, "My master is having a picnic in front and doesn't want anyone to disturb him. Please go to the other side."

Qiao Zhi hid in the tree and looked at the group of people curiously.

The leader Zhang Jitian did not speak, but his servants were already making noises. One of them said: "Open your dog eyes and take a look. This is Young Master Zhang of the Zhang family in Zeyuan Prefecture."

"Report immediately to your master, and he will definitely come to see you."

Chen Gang's face was turned blue and white by the other boys' spray, and he really wanted to smash their mouths with a stone.

Zhang Jitian waved his hand, and his servants and senior servants stopped.

He sat on his horse, glanced at Chen Gang condescendingly and said, "Go and tell your master that Zhang Jitian of Zeyuan Mansion has invited me, and he will definitely come to see me."

Qiao Zhi, who was hiding in the book, thought to himself: 'Zhang Jitian...Zhang Jitian...I remember...this guy is the top scholar in martial arts, right? I remember this Zhang Jitian...'

In Qiao Zhi's memory, this Zhang Jitian later became the top scholar in martial arts and had a smooth official career.

What impressed him most, apart from Wu Zhuangyuan, was that this man was not good at governing or leading an army, but he was particularly good at political fighting.

Later, he became the commander-in-chief of the military town. When the demon tribe attacked the city, he fled without fighting, but his soldiers successfully defended the city.

This guy directly framed his generals to cover up the defeat, paid tens of thousands to the army, bribed officials... and he actually succeeded. Not only did he kill his subordinates, but he also pretended to take the credit, and in the end he even became the governor of the military town.

At this moment, Chen Gang frowned. Just when he was about to refuse again, he heard someone from the other team shouting: "It's the white fox! It's right there!"

After a while, a large number of people chased them out, and they were all scattered in the blink of an eye. Chen Gang looked puzzled.

…

After about half an hour, Chu Qiguang stopped practicing today.

He looked at the golden light in the sky in front of him and could feel something calling him.

‘Is this the Buddha that the monks at Kongo Temple mentioned? ’

However, Chu Qiguang remained unmoved. He just endured the temptation in his heart and buried the scriptures back in the soil.

He looked at his feet. The sixth tentacle in the shadow was getting clearer and clearer, and he was getting closer to his next breakthrough.

While peeling the freshly cooked eggs, Chen Gang told Chu Qiguang what happened just now.

Qiao Zhi also told his memories about Zhang Jitian.

Chu Qiguang frowned when he heard this, and dug out the scriptures, planning to store them somewhere else.

The two of them walked out a few hundred meters, only to find a figure running towards them in the distance.

It turned out to be Zhang Jitian who had left before.

It's just that Zhang Jitian was covered in blood at this time and his face was full of panic. He looked back from time to time, fearing that something behind him would catch up.

They had just been a group of people chasing the white fox, and they were chasing deeper and deeper into the mountains.

The white fox seemed to have some intelligence and turned to the mountain road to avoid their pursuit, and even finally led them into a mountain col.

There they were attacked by monsters, and Zhang Jitian's fifth-level martial arts was no match for them.

The guards, servants, and senior attendants around him were all killed. He escaped while the monster was eating people's hearts, but was chased by the monster for a long time like a cat playing with a mouse.

When he was panicking, Zhang Jitian thought of Chen Gang.

He thought of using Chen Gang and others to attract the monster's attention and buy time for his escape.

At this moment, seeing Chen Gang and another young man walking towards him, a cold look flashed in Zhang Jitian's eyes.

The strength of the fifth realm exploded with all his strength, and the energy and blood all over his body circulated. His feet had already dug two big holes in the ground, and the whole person rushed towards Chu Qiguang like a cannonball.

Looking at the two people with blank faces, Zhang Jitian thought to himself: 'If you are to blame, it's your bad luck. You can even encounter monsters in Chaoyao Mountain. ’

‘As long as I can survive, I will have no problem building immortality tablets for you in the future. ’

I saw his fingers spread out, and the strong wind swept across, and his hands were like a big net grabbing the heads of Chen Gang and Chu Qiguang from left to right.
