Ruins of the past

After Chu Qiguang communicated with several Taoist masters, he gained more friends in the Taoist realm.

Among them, Shen Guangqi naturally had the coldest attitude towards him, and was the first to leave the party.

Among the two martial gods in the military, Ma Yi has a warmer attitude.

As the current top martial arts god of the Seven Kills School in northern martial arts, he has been actively discussing martial arts knowledge with Chu Qiguang, and is obviously very enthusiastic about martial arts practice.

In particular, Ma Yi himself was known as the Sword Saint, and he was even more concerned about Chu Qiguang's sword skills.

Another military god of war is over ninety years old. Not only does he have white hair, but his face is also full of wrinkles.

Because he is too old, his energy and blood have been exhausted, and his fighting strength has declined.

He lives in the capital for retirement on weekdays, and has lost much interest in managing connections and exploring martial arts. He was the second to leave the party.

Although Li Shentong from the Demon Suppressing Division was present from beginning to end, he hardly said a word and sat aside like a statue.

This is also a side effect of "Taixi Shadow Walking" after practicing. Li Shentong has almost lost most of his emotions and is often in a state of indifference to the outside world.

He feels like a tool that is just taking orders from the emperor.

Although Zhao Changsheng, another practitioner of "Ten Thousand Ghosts", doesn't speak much, he always adds a few words from time to time to express his own opinions.

As a Taoist immortal who can suppress ghosts, he is also relatively noble in the circle of Taoist strong men, but he has no interest in making friends with other strong men and spends most of his time alone.

That is to say, Chu Qiguang and he both belonged to the Demon Suppression Division, and Zhong Shan'e had some friendship with him, so he would chat more with Chu Qiguang.

Fu Nanzi from the Tianshi Sect seems to be very interested in Chu Qiguang and has been taking the initiative to ask Chu Qiguang some things related to beliefs, doctrines, and scriptures.

Chu Qiguang is also very interested in Fu Nanzi. After all, he still wants to buy elixirs and even talismans from him.

After all, Fu Nanzi is a Taoist immortal who has practiced the "Zhengyi Dan Sutra", and he is also a person with a relatively special status in the circle of powerful Taoists.

Almost no powerful Taoist is willing to offend him because they all want to buy elixirs from him.

Fu Nanzi's subordinates also control an astonishing number of medicine shops, shops, medicine fields... and run most of Jingzhou's herbal medicine business. He often had to personally refine various elixirs in exchange for money and connections.

Among the people present, Fu Nanzi was considered to be the most well-connected and knew the most powerful people.

Chu Qiguang took advantage of the opportunity to communicate and proposed the idea of ​​watching "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts" to Zhao Changsheng, but was rejected again.

Although Chu Qiguang's performance is very eye-catching, in Zhao Changsheng's eyes, this is not a reason to watch "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts".

He glared and said, "Don't think that just because you beat Shen Guangqi, you can casually comprehend "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts"."

"Ghosts are the most dangerous existences in the world. Among the twenty-five dharma rectifications, "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts" is also the most dangerous level to comprehend. If you are not careful, not only will you be unlucky, but the people around you will also die. how many people."

"I won't stop you if you want to see other ways to enter the Taoism, but don't even think about "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts"."

Fu Nanzi and Sword Saint Ma Yi also persuaded Chu Qiguang to give up this idea. In their view, this was an unnecessary risk.

Jiang Longyu pricked up his ears on the side, and was surprised when he heard that Chu Qiguang wanted to watch "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts".

‘Even a peerless genius like me, Jiang Longyu, has never thought of observing the second Taoist method. ’

‘Sure enough, you are still more crazy now...but with hard work and talent like me, I will one day surpass you. ’

Seeing that several powerful Taoists were so opposed to watching "The Record of Ten Thousand Ghosts" by him, Chu Qiguang had no choice but to give up for the time being and think of other ways later.

After everyone communicated and agreed to meet again next time, Chu Qiguang said goodbye to them one by one and returned to his small courtyard.

He looked at Qiao Zhi lying on the roof basking in the sun, and asked in his mind: "Where are my sister and Chen Gang?"

Qiao Zhi swung his tail lazily: "I'm going shopping."

…

The west side of the inner city of the capital.

A woman wearing a bamboo hat and a tattered robe looked inconspicuous walking on the busy street.

The bamboo hat covered most of her face, and only a hint of gold could be seen in her tied up hair.

This is a blonde, blue-eyed, foreign woman.

Looking at the various scenes in Shenjing City, her face showed surprise expressions from time to time.

‘There are so many people, the population of Han Dynasty is really too large. ’

‘The capital of this Han Dynasty is also very large, it is simply bigger than any city in Datai. ’

'Alas... the high priest asked me to come to the east to find the whereabouts of the "Star Book", but the east is too big, and I have been wandering for so many years and still haven't got any clues. ’

‘If I still can’t find it in the capital of the Han Dynasty this time, I will have to consider going to sea next. ’

‘I heard that there are some small countries on the other side of the sea. Will the Star Sutra be there? ’

This woman is called Juno, who comes from a sect at the far west end. She was ordered to find the "Star Sutra" brought to the east by the Fanjing Sect.

Over the years, she has been searching everywhere in the Central Plains. Although she has not found the "Star Scripture", she has learned to speak Chinese proficiently and is very familiar with the situation of the Han Dynasty.

As she was walking on the road, she saw a large number of government officials in front of her driving beggars and refugees out of the city.

Because of the large number of refugees in Jingzhou, a large number of homeless people who had no food to eat came to Shenjing to find a way to survive, causing the order in the city to continue to decline.

The soldiers and horses of the five cities began to drive away the refugees in these days, trying to drive them all out of the city.

I heard that tens of thousands of refugees have gathered outside the city, and the number is still increasing.

Seeing this scene, Juno walked aside, obviously unwilling to get involved in this chaos.

But I saw a tall, thin, ragged middle-aged man shouting: "The evil is in power! The sky is dead..."

The other refugees started shouting, their cheeks bright red and their expressions crazy.

One of the guards hit the man on the head with a stick, causing his head to bleed.

The other refugees still wanted to resist, but they didn't even have enough to eat. They were all arrested one by one, no matter how they were matched by the wolf-like police officers.

A man ran up to Juno, but was dragged back by the guards.

After they left, Juno picked up a wad of paper from the ground.

There are some crooked fonts on it. Obviously the writer's cultural level is not high.

Juno has now learned Chinese characters, and when he looked at the above content, he thought in his heart: "... pick up weapons, kill evil and eliminate demons... Everything is the will of the Taoist Lord. Only by eradicating all the evildoers in the world can you protect me. I can't wait." Violated...'

‘What is a monster? People who have a photographic memory, people who look weird, people who like to feed cats and dogs, people who go out early every day and come back late... This is the sign of evil beings everywhere...'

'what is this? A cultist's speech? ’

Juno threw away the paper ball and continued walking towards the busiest street.

But when she walked to a restaurant, Juno was suddenly startled: 'It's the breath of a saint. ’

She focused her eyes and turned her head to look in the direction where the breath was coming from.

Zhou Yujiao and Chen Gang appeared in her field of vision.
