According to Qiao Zhi's account, the Immortal Taoists were committing crimes all over Lingzhou, spreading elixirs to create living corpses. The perpetrators were not one person, but a group of people.
However, there was indeed a stronghold of theirs near Qingyang County, called Shiyan Village, which was later wiped out by the Qingyang County Taoist Temple.
Chu Qiguang said: "Shiyan Village? It's not too far from the county seat."
So Chu Qiguang then sent the cat demon out of the city, and followed Qiao Zhi's instructions to go to Shiyan Village to find people from the Immortal Way.
During this time, the cat demons lived and ate with Chu Qiguang and Qiao Zhi. Not only did they receive ideological reform every day, they were also punished and fed by Chu Qiguang in various ways.
With Chu Qiguang's ability, they had already been tamed by them, and now it was time to go out and gather information for him.
Chu Qiguang still has great trust in the stealth and detection abilities of these cat monsters.
But he himself calmed down and continued his previous plan, buying elixirs and practicing exercises step by step, not letting this incident affect the improvement of his strength.
Chu Qiguang first spent 300 taels of silver to go to the Taoist temple and bought 7 ear-opening pills from Fa Yuan for 280 taels.
Then when he returned home, he took a short rest, relaxed his mind and body, and then started taking Kai'er Wan for the first time to practice Qigong under the care of Qiao Zhi.
After taking the Kaierwan, Chu Qiguang felt a wave of heat rushing directly to his head, and then the world in front of him seemed to have completely changed, and the surroundings suddenly became noisy.
All kinds of sounds came to him...the sound of Chen Gang practicing boxing, the sound of the wind blowing with every fist, and the sound of the running footsteps of the cat monsters...
“A bit noisy.”
Chu Qiguang covered his ears with some discomfort. After slowly adapting, he focused his attention on himself. He immediately felt that his insight into the physical body was far greater than before, including various heartbeats, breathing, and blood flow.
, he can feel body vibrations more easily.
Next, Chu Qiguang stood still and began to perform a set of Dragon Subduing Techniques taught to him by Qiao Zhixin.
This Dragon Subduing Technique compares the Qi and blood in the body from top to bottom to a big dragon. It needs to be trained through various subtle skills, and finally subdues the Zhousheng Dragon, reaching the state where Qi penetrates the four tips and can circulate Qi and blood.
.
As the muscles of his body twisted and bounced inch by inch, Chu Qiguang's ears listened to the sounds inside his body, exercising his body's sensitivity bit by bit.
However, this feeling did not last long. After burning incense, he felt that his hearing declined rapidly and returned to normal level.
Chu Qiguang looked like he was still unfinished, and then took another ear-opening pill.
Qiao Zhi reminded from the side: "Two or three pills a day at most. If you feel dizzy, don't take any more. Be careful of erysipelas entering the brain."
But Chu Qiguang continued to feed one pill after another, and continued to practice after feeding. Until all 7 pills were eaten, he was full of energy, nothing strange, and no feeling of erysipelas entering the body. Qiao Zhi saw that
stunned.
"Is this okay for me? Aren't you afraid of erysipelas?"
"You...how is that possible?"
Qiao Zhi kept circling around Chu Qiguang, his eyes widened, and he would press Chu Qiguang's body with his flesh pad from time to time to check his condition.
But no matter how you look at it, Chu Qiguang is in a healthy and normal state. The erysipelas that ordinary Taoist priests fear like a tiger has not occurred in his body at all.
Qiao Zhi was so shocked that she stopped talking. While walking around Chu Qiguang, she kept making meow, meow, meow, meow sounds.
Chu Qiguang's talent in martial arts and cultivation had never surprised him before, but this talent in taking drugs really scared him.
Qiao Zhi finally sighed: "You are not afraid of erysipelas... wouldn't you be able to take pills to practice in the future? Just say that if you take twenty or thirty pills every day, wouldn't it be possible to enter the third realm in ten and a half months?
Already?"
He then reminded: "If you step into the third realm so quickly, you must not let anyone know. It will only be revealed after three or four months. After all, in three or four months, the third realm can still be a Tianzong."
Genius, this third level in half a month is simply a monster."
Chu Qiguang sighed: "Martial arts training is more efficient, but the money is not enough."
Chu Qiguang also gradually had a doubt in his heart: "What is going on with my talent... time travel... not being afraid of erysipelas... and what does it have to do with the secret of the Zi Mansion?"
Unfortunately, Chu Qiguang searched the Hao family's library for a long time, but could not find any clues to the secret of the Zi Mansion.
In the next two days, Chu Qiguang spent more than half of the 2,000 taels of silver he earned in one go, buying Kai'er Pills to practice Qigong.
This extravagant training method also made Chu Qiguang's progress very fast. Even because he was in a state of super hearing for a long time, he made progress faster than Qiao Zhi imagined. Qi penetrated all the tips and completed the process from finger to nail.
In part, you can directly sense the flow of qi and blood in your fingertips.
Chu Qiguang sighed in his heart: 'Qi penetrates all four ends... Now a quarter of the work is completed, but the silver is also spent. If you want to quickly rush to the third realm, you will need at least 6,000 taels of silver.'
When he thought of this, Chu Qiguang felt that he was really too poor now.
In the past two days, the Wu family and the Hao family have been searching the entire county, almost turning the county upside down, but they have never found the demon of the immortal way. They are almost desperate whether they can catch this demon.
Due to the arrival of the Demon Suppression Division in the case of demon wages, all those who took the lead in making trouble were arrested and interrogated. The whole county instantly calmed down. However, Hezhi County continued to measure the land, which upset the Wu family and the Hao family.
That afternoon, after Chu Qiguang came back from the Yinglue Museum, he saw Bai Mi lying in the yard, looking exhausted.
As soon as he saw Chu Qiguang, he immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Chu, fortunately, I finally found those monsters."
Chu Qiguang's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked up, holding Baimi in his arms and started rolling it: "Thank you for your hard work, what's the situation there now?"
…
Qingyang County, Shiyan Village.
Shiyan Village is located in the high mountains and there is not much arable land. The villagers mostly rely on hunting and weaving to make a living. It is considered one of the poorest towns in Qingyang County.
And that night, at the foot of Qingshui Mountain behind Shiyan Village, in the woods that emitted bursts of stench, the poorest, weakest, and most bullied people in the village were gathered together.
They gathered around the fire, with longing and enthusiasm on their faces.
Amidst the murmurs of the night wind, the hateful-looking old man kept mumbling something.
You can vaguely hear the old man whispering: "... You all know what the Taoist temple in Qingyang County looks like. We offer a lot of offerings every year, but Lingzhou has suffered from drought for many years. Can Taoist Master give you a blessing?"
"How many families have been destroyed by corrupt officials, can Tao Zun show his spiritual power?"
"Your family is so poor that you can't open the pot. Is Tao Zun useful?"
"In a few days, it will be the day when those dog Taoist priests come to collect tributes. We can't even feed ourselves, so we have to make offerings to the Taoist Master?"
The old man became more and more excited as he talked, and then shouted hoarsely: "The sky has no eyes, and the Taoist priest is useless. It is better to convert to the immortal Tao, and everyone will live forever and become a living immortal."
