casket of old days

Chapter 180 A small competition is coming (ask for a guaranteed monthly pass)

"Ah?" Hearing what Zhao Lingxiao said, Chu Qiguang thought about it and thought it would be good. Anyway, he had read almost all the books in the study room, and it would be a waste of time to come again.

But he changed his mind and suddenly asked again: "Then if I still want to read Taoism in the future, can I still come here?"

Zhao Lingxiao looked at Chu Qiguang with some comfort, and he recognized the other party's serious performance in the past month: "Of course."

Only then did Chu Qiguang express his purpose: "Master Daoist, I really want to become a believer of Daoist Master. If reading these Daoist scriptures is not enough, can I read other Taoist scriptures? Read more, Maybe it will be done?"

Seeing Chu Qiguang's longing and sincere heart towards the Tao, Zhao Lingxiao suddenly ignited a fighting spirit in his heart.

'How can I give up on a 15-year-old boy who is so persistent in his belief in the Tao? '

'Dao Zun... are you guiding me? '

Looking at the child in front of him eager to study, Zhao Lingxiao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will go down the mountain next month and bring you a batch of passages. As long as you want to see it, I will bring it to you. speak.

Our Heavenly Teacher will never give up any believer who wants to bathe in the grace of God. "

……

In the martial arts class in the afternoon, instructor Yang Ling began to explain the small contest three days later.

"There is a small competition every month, the top ten go to the upper house, and the rest go to the lower house."

"I have told you many times about the distinction between upper and lower courts, and you understand how important it is."

"And fighting in the arena accounts for half of the competition, and it can be said that it is the easiest place to raise the ranking."

"However, in the past month, I have taught you everything that should be taught, and I have nothing to teach you in the last three days. You can practice on your own."

"If you have any confusion, come and ask me yourself, and I will stay here."

"Remember, your studies and cultivation are all for your future future, not for me."

There was a tense atmosphere spreading throughout the training ground. The students were all working hard on their own, and if they didn't understand something, they could immediately ask Yang Ling.

Chu Qiguang listened and nodded... The importance of martial arts in the Han Dynasty is self-evident.

The imperial court uses martial arts to select talents, and it is in the arena to decide the outcome.

Non-governmental associations, chambers of commerce, and gangs have long since determined the ownership of many businesses based on the outcome of the ring.

Fights such as water and land fights in the countryside often draw a circle as a ring.

Even if it is a chaotic group fight in the countryside, the outcome depends on the strength of the martial arts practitioners on both sides. For example, Zhang Da, the eldest brother Chen Gang worshiped before, is the king of Wangjiazhuang.

From martial arts imperial examinations to civil disputes, you can see the shadows of martial arts and arenas.

Martial arts and Taoism widen the difference between people's strengths and weaknesses, and also make a large number of people accustomed to relying on the strong.

This is already a part of Han culture and has been integrated into the flesh and blood of the people.

Although Zhenmensi dealt with demons and goblins, martial arts are still important, and the way to distinguish the strength of martial arts...is the arena.

While Chu Qiguang was listening to Yang Ling's explanation, a look full of hatred would look at him from time to time.

Cheng Ming stared fiercely at Chu Qiguang's back.

Recently, when Chu Qiguang fell ill, he always sought relief from Cheng Ming and his friends.

But this Cheng Ming is worthy of being a genius in his hometown. After being knocked down again and again, instead of giving up on himself, he secretly held his breath and practiced harder every day, just thinking about surpassing Chu Qiguang and getting revenge one day.

……

In the pill class the next day, Li Jian, who had one tentacle on his feet, had just spoken for a short time when Song Ming, who had five tentacles, walked in.

I only heard Song Ming say: "Lecturer Li Jian is not feeling well, today you will learn from me how to deal with tomb ghosts."

Li Jian on the side smiled awkwardly, and retreated without saying anything.

Through these days of observation, Chu Qiguang also found that this elixir lecturer was not only the weakest among the lecturers and instructors on Chaoyao Mountain, but also seemed to be often excluded.

After class, Chu Qiguang went back to the dormitory to pack up the handouts.

Li He and Jiang Longyu didn't know where to go, and Zhang Haizhu was the only one left in the dormitory.

Seeing Chu Qiguang come back, lying on the bed, Zhang Haizhu who was covered with a quilt seemed startled: "Brother Chu, why are you here?"

Chu Qiguang looked at Zhang Haizhu's hand under the quilt and smiled: "It's okay, I'll just come over and play the handout, you continue."

Seeing Chu Qiguang put down the handout and left, Zhang Haizhu asked suspiciously: "Did he see it?"

Thinking of this, he lifted the quilt, revealing a jar of water in his other hand.

This is obviously the Zulongshan Lingshui that Jiang Longyu wants to show off all day.

Originally, Zhang Haizhu wasn't interested in this thing, but Jiang Longyu couldn't resist showing off every day, saying that drinking this spiritual water can purify the body, prolong life, and develop brainpower...

Zhang Haizhu was curious about what the Zulong Mountain Lingshui tasted like.

"Just drop a drop and taste what it tastes like."

Zhang Haizhu carefully dripped a drop onto his fingertips.

It was discovered that the whole body of this spiritual water was emerald green, dripping on the fingertips like a small green diamond.

Zhang Haizhu couldn't help taking a breath, his face flushed instantly, and he couldn't help coughing violently.

"so bitter!"

"It's worse than shit!"

"Jiang Longyu has the nerve to show off after eating this?!"

At first Zhang Haizhu wanted to laugh at Jiang Longyu, but suddenly he came to his senses: "He has been drinking this crap for more than ten years...is it also for martial arts?"

……

That night, when Chu Qiguang came to the big library again, it was not the gatekeeper but Shi Linlan who opened the door for him.

Seeing Lin Lan looking forward to opening the stone gate, she welcomed Chu Qiguang in.

Over the past few days, Chu Qiguang has figured out Lin Lan's character, that is, she is a local girl who has never seen the world and yearns for the colorful world outside.

Relying on Chu Qiguang's knowledge and skill, he would brag to the other party from time to time about the glamor and feasting outside, which quickly aroused Lin Lan's interest.

He also brought some flowers, pastries, and candied fruit to the other party from time to time. Lin Lan lived in the big library all the year round, and he had never seen such a person, and the relationship between the two of them became better and better.

At this moment, I saw Lin Lan leading the way, and Chu Qiguang was telling the other party the story of him killing demons and demons in Qingyang County, benefiting the village, and working hard to help the poor.

Lin Lan said longingly, "The hydraulic loom is really powerful. It can even weave cloth by itself. Brother Chu, how did you come up with it?"

Chu Qiguang said: "When I was eight years old, seeing my mother weaving hard, I wondered all day if there was any way to make weaving easier."

"One day I suddenly saw my sister fall into the river and was washed out by the river."

"I suddenly had an idea, and thought why can't the momentum of the river be used to weave cloth?"

Looking at Lin Lan's adoring gaze, Chu Qiguang waved his hands and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I'm just better at observing than ordinary people."
