Ruins of the past

Chu Qiguang muttered the last sentence softly: "Do knowledge and knowledge attract each other?"

He remembered that the gatekeeper also said this to him, and thinking back on his experiences in the past year... he seemed to be learning more and more knowledge.

Seeing Chu Qiguang lost in thought, the gatekeeper on the side asked cautiously: "Are you okay?"

Chu Qiguang looked at some familiar handwriting on the "Corpse Book" and suddenly asked: "Has Lin Lan also read this book?"

The gatekeeper's expression changed slightly: "Why do you..."

Chu Qiguang explained: "I seem to see her handwriting on it. Knowledge and knowledge attract each other. Is this her discovery? It was discovered a long time ago... a long time ago?"

The gatekeeper was silent for a while after hearing this, and then sighed and said: "The predecessors discovered it, Lin Lan just found it."

"Unfortunately, by the time we believed this theory, it was already too late."

Chu Qiguang wanted to ask something else, but the gatekeeper was not interested in discussing it in depth. He just said in a vague voice: "A long time ago, some people discovered that knowledge and knowledge attract each other, but after all, human beings still cannot resist the pursuit. The lure of knowledge.”

"The more powerful a person is, the more he pursues more knowledge."

"And people with knowledge will also meet under the attraction, or fight, or communicate, resulting in more knowledge gathering."

"If this continues, maybe one day one person will gather all the knowledge and become the most terrifying demon, right?"

"The demon stain has become more and more serious in recent years. Maybe it's God's warning to us."

Chu Qiguang looked like he was severely hit, then lowered his head and continued to read the "Corpse Book" in front of him.

Feeling a gift surge in his mind, Chu Qiguang chose the blood-activating method.

In an instant, he felt his heart contract violently, and the energy and blood all over his body seemed to be pushed hard by a huge force, and it accelerated instantly.

Feeling the sudden heat coming from the room, the gatekeeper asked on guard: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Chu Qiguang slowly dispersed the blood-activating method that had been upgraded to the second level, and said while holding back the joy in his heart: "My feet are numb, let's work on the blood circulation."

When Chu Qiguang went back that night and read the secret book of Tianxue Gangqi again.

"27 days, 2 hours, 12 minutes and 45 seconds."

"Another 21 days lost?"

"This blood-activating method is indeed an auxiliary magical skill."

And the next day when he came to the foot of the mountain to meditate on the "Sumishan King Sutra" again, the countdown above was also under the action of the second layer of blood-activating method, from more than 4900 days last time to 4290 days and 8 hours. 32 minutes and 55 seconds.

"Lost by more than 600 days?"

Chu Qiguang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Didn't the Hunter School discover that the blood-activating method can assist the practice of "Xumi Moving Mountain Sutra"?"

"Maybe it's because of the estrangement between schools? Or because the blood-activating method is too difficult to practice?"

"It's also possible that they don't have the power of dragon eyes, so they can't detect this so easily to me."

…

Chu Qiguang, who reads Buddhist scriptures, practices martial arts, and learns knowledge every day, only feels that time flies by.

In the blink of an eye, we have arrived at the beginning of November, the 16th year of Yongan.

It's autumn again, and the woods on Chaoyao Mountain have begun to turn yellow in patches.

Chu Qiguang was standing in the small courtyard with Jiang Longyu that day, waiting for the arrival of the head coach.

Jiang Longyu looked at Chu Qiguang with a hint of pride, and said to himself: 'Humph, my blood-activating method has reached the first level. I will tell the chief coach later. ’

At this moment, a voice came from afar.

"Mr. Zhong, you must help us this time."

"Nine sides are in turmoil, and now you are the only one in the department who can calm the situation."

"My old bones are still going north. Do you want me to die in Jiubian?"

I saw the head coach and another middle-aged man walking in.

The man has a Chinese character face, looks majestic, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but at this moment he is bending over and pleading in front of Zhong Shan'e.

However, he seemed to have noticed Jiang Longyu and Chu Qiguang present, and the middle-aged man unknowingly straightened his back, as if he didn't want others to see this scene.

Zhong Shan'e said casually: "This is Qianhu Bai Lingxuan from Jingzhou. Do you guys know each other?"

Chu Qiguang reacted instantly in his mind: 'Is he the one who spent ten days on the first level of the blood-activating method, a month on the second level, and a year on the third level? ’

‘Thousands of demon-suppressing officials in Jingzhou are at the feet of the emperor, right? ’

Chu Qiguang looked at the opponent's shadow and could see eight tentacles rising into the sky, waving wildly.

Bai Lingxuan didn't know Chu Qiguang and Jiang Longyu either, so he nodded to the two of them indifferently, and then looked at Zhong Shan'e again, his eyes full of pleading.

"Mr. Zhong, the Nine Borders are related to the safety of half of my country. Once there is turmoil... the consequences will be disastrous."

Zhong Shan'e sighed and said slowly: "Have the two people from the north spoken?"

The two people he was talking about at this moment were the two martial gods in Jiubian.

Bai Lingxuan looked at Chu Qiguang and Jiang Longyu who were standing aside.

Zhong Shan'e pointed at Jiang Longyu and Chu Qiguang, and introduced them one after another: "This is Jiang Longyu."

"This is Chu Qiguang."

"They are all the students I have been teaching recently. You don't have to avoid them when it comes to Jiubian."

When Bai Lingxuan saw Jiang Longyu, his eyes lit up slightly, and he greeted with a smile: "I have heard about the Eight Generals of the Xinghan Dynasty for a long time. We are officials in the same dynasty, and we are both from the Demon Assassin School. I must have a good reunion with you in the future, my dear brother. Get together."

Then he looked at Chu Qiguang and said casually: "Are you Chu Qiguang? I also heard about the matter of guarding the big library. I will work hard in the Demon Suppression Division from now on."

Zhong Shan'e said: "Okay, what's going on in Jiubian now? You tell me the truth, otherwise I won't go to this mud."

Bai Lingxuan sighed: "In the past two months, Jiubian has made many changes, saying that it is mobilizing troops to deal with the monster tribe going south to hunt."

"But Jiubian did not report the troop deployment to the Ministry of War at all in advance."

"We haven't heard anything about the demon clan going south."

"After that, Yunzhong Military Town directly sent troops to visit Tianqu Mansion in Lingzhou, saying that they were suppressing bandits in the name of the local magistrate."

Zhong Shan'e clenched his fists suddenly: "Absurd. What did those two old thieves say?"

Bai Lingxuan said: "Both Zhou Wushen and Shen Wushen said nothing, and they did not even respond to official letters sent by the court."

Chu Qiguang on the side listened and deduced based on the information he knew.

The so-called Zhou Martial God refers to Zhou Junyan, the Taoist Martial God who is known as the ‘Sacred Spear’.

As for Shen Wushen, he is Shen Rusong, the Taoist martial god known as the ‘Tianzun’.

Both the Divine Spear and Tianzun are rising up among the Nine Sides Military, and the martial arts they practice come from the Tianyu School.

He has guarded Yunzhong Military Town and Beining Military Town for more than ten years, and is called the protector of the North by countless people.

Chu Qiguang secretly deduced in his mind: 'If the Chaoyaoshan tragedy happens normally, then the head coach is dead and naturally he cannot go to Jiubian. ’

'But now that Zhong Shan'e is not dead, what impact will it have if he goes to Jiubian? ’
