Ruins of the past

The disaster caused by the monster killed more than 20 people in the Chen family, and a large part of the Chen family's garden collapsed.

After the demise of the Chen family, their property, stocks, and cotton stocks were quickly eaten away by the local Taoist temple, government offices, various relatives, and neighbors.

Among them, 50% of the price of the cotton was given to President Wang Cailiang. The position of President was appointed by Chu Qiguang, who was responsible for various affairs of the Chamber of Commerce in his absence.

These cottons were used as raw materials for textile factories in the future, allowing the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce to make a fortune.

In Qingyang County, with Chu Qiguang taking charge of the overall situation after leaving the country, a series of orders to dispel rumors and clear up bad news were implemented. Without the obstruction of the Chen family, the stock price of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce quickly returned to normal. , continued to grow steadily.

The entire Qingyang County has once again begun to unite to build the textile industry.

And the time is almost here when Chu Qiguang sets off for Chaoyao Mountain.

…

This morning, Chu Qiguang sat cross-legged. After taking the fire elixir used for practice, he slowly opened the "Sumishan King Sutra", one of the 25 righteous teachings, which was placed in front of him.

This is the first time he has practiced this martial art since he broke through to the fifth level of martial arts.

Sure enough, when I read the above pictures and texts this time, I immediately felt different from the past.

He felt as if the energy and blood all over his body were burning, and his body temperature began to rise little by little.

At the same time, his hands were constantly changing according to the fingerprints on the scriptures almost unconsciously.

The exquisite control and explosive power brought about by the cultivation of the fifth realm made his fingers bloom like lotus flowers.

Along with the changes in the ten-finger handprints, Chu Qiguang felt that the circulation of Qi and blood became more surging, and his body temperature began to increase at an incredible speed.

He felt that the lotus blooming in his hand was like a fire lotus.

The powerful qi and blood in the fifth realm contributed to this increase in body temperature. Even his brain seemed to be on fire because of the qi and blood supply.

If it weren't for the fire pill he had taken before that enhanced his resistance to high temperatures, he might have either given up practicing at this moment or died of spontaneous combustion.

With the abnormal changes in Chu Qiguang's body, the temperature in the entire room also continued to rise, as if it had suddenly changed from the cold winter to the scorching summer.

Under this high-intensity operation of Qi and blood, Chu Qiguang felt that his physical body was beginning to transform towards an inhuman state bit by bit, becoming more and more flexible, stronger and more... The more adapted to high temperatures...

Just when Chu Qiguang's whole body was red and he was exuding bursts of white energy.

Qiao Zhi on the side immediately closed the book and shouted: "Stop! Stop! We are reaching the limit!"

Chu Qiguang looked at the closed scriptures with a hint of reluctance on his face.

He felt warm all over his body, as if he was being baked by the sun, and the images in the scriptures seemed to turn into flames, attracting him to rush in and embrace something warmer and more holy... …

On the other side, Chen Gang, who was sweating profusely from the heat, immediately opened the door, hid the scriptures, and kept calling Chu Qiguang.

After a long time, Chu Qiguang finally calmed down: "This thing is too evil. If no one is watching, it's really hard to practice alone."

Seeing that he was fine, Qiao Zhi hurriedly ran out to cool down. The house was really too hot for his long-haired cat.

Chu Qiguang was still recovering bit by bit when suddenly a scream came out and he immediately went out to check.

…

Just a moment ago, Qiao Zhi just took a poop in the flower bed and found a pure white female cat.

There was no trace of any color on the cat's body, its eyes were as bright as rubies, and its slender body made it even more graceful. Qiao Zhi was deeply attracted by every move it made.

Qiao Zhi straightened his tail and walked up, holding his head high and saying: "Hello, my name is Qiao Zhi. Everyone in the world likes to call me Timely Rain."

Female cat: "..."

Seeing that the female cat still looked confused, Qiao Zhi said: "It doesn't seem to have any evil spirit."

Qiao Zhi suddenly lost interest when he thought that the cat in front of him was just an ordinary cat, not a cat monster.

But at this moment, the female cat in front of him suddenly came up and smelled Qiao Zhi's nose, cheeks, chest hair, and head.

"What are you doing...it's so itchy...it's so itchy..."

Qiao Zhi felt uncomfortable being rubbed by the other person's nose, but he felt a little comfortable at the same time. Seeing the confused look on the female cat's face, he couldn't help but said: "Down, down, down."

Just when Qiao Zhi was thinking this, he saw the other party suddenly opened his mouth and exposed his fangs.

Qiao Zhi immediately said: "Don't bite me, I'm warning you not to bite me..."

But the female cat's mouth suddenly expanded rapidly, almost swallowing Qiao Zhi whole. There were more than a dozen rows of teeth in her mouth, spinning like saw teeth...

Qiao Zhi was so frightened by this that her tail softened. The whole cat screamed, jumped, rolled and fell off the wall. When she looked up again, she found that the female cat had returned to her original innocent and cute appearance, without any trace of emotion. The kind of twisted change just now.

Qiao Zhi looked at this scene in shock: "You...are you a devil?"

The moment Qiao Zhi screamed, Chu Qiguang, Chen Gang and the cat demons patrolling around them all ran over.

As soon as the white female cat saw Chu Qiguang, she rushed over and threw herself into Chu Qiguang's arms. However, Chu Qiguang reached out and grabbed her by the neck.

But the cat still wanted to keep rubbing against his chest and smelling it. He could even see her mouth open and a few tentacles curling towards Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang thought it was an ordinary cat at first, and was shocked when he saw this scene.

However, although the monster in front of him looked scary, it was not very strong. He was easily subdued by Chu Qiguang and put into an iron cage.

Seeing the constant struggle in the iron cage, sometimes turning into a white cat, and sometimes transforming into a monster with tentacles and jagged teeth, Chu Qiguang and Qiao Zhi were filled with questions.

Qiao Zhi wondered: "Where did this monster come from? Why is it attacking us?"

Chu Qiguang analyzed: "He doesn't seem to be attacking us, but..." Recalling the behavior of the monster in front of him, he suddenly had a flash of understanding.

‘The location on my chest is the Ring of Foolishness. ’

‘If the Ring of Foolishness can flow out knowledge and create demon stains, then it seems reasonable for demons to be attracted to the Ring of Foolishness. ’

Qiao Zhi suggested killing the monster, but Chu Qiguang shook his head. This was the first time he had caught a living, weak, and not so aggressive monster. It would be a pity not to study it carefully. .

He has always been extremely curious and concerned about the demons, possessions, and monsters in this world.

Thinking that the other party might have been attracted by the Ring of Foolishness, Chu Qiguang simply took the other party to the no-man's land behind Yaoyin Village, intending to conduct some experiments.
