Ruins of the past

At the mobilization meeting held in Yaoyin Village.

In addition to the monsters selected to go to Shuzhou, other monsters from Yaoyin Village also rushed over one after another, just to listen to Chu Qiguang's speech today.

In the past three years, every monster in Yaoyin Village has studied the ideological courses planned by Chu Qiguang in school.

The monsters from outside told their own tragic experiences outside at the complaint meeting. They studied Chu Qiguang’s advanced spirit about class, race, and reform in the ideological and political class every day. Through the advanced and leading the backward, the seniors of the monster village taught them personally. The monster...

The relatively closed environment, the courses one by one, combined with the rapid development of the monster village in the past three years and the better and better life, have made the monsters more and more agree with Chu Qiguang's philosophy and are deeply influenced by it.

Just like the cat monsters who were taught by Chu Qiguang for the first time, most of the monsters in the monster village gradually regarded Chu Qiguang as their spiritual leader and looked forward to the future described by Chu Qiguang.

Now that Chu Qiguang was going to give a speech at the mobilization meeting, he naturally attracted a large number of monsters in the village. Qiao Zhi, Zhou Yujiao, Lei Yushu, Shisanniang... and even two Chongming birds came over to listen.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang stood on the stage. With a low roar, his body expanded and deformed, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a huge cat demon.

The thick cat claws pressed to the ground, and the fluffy tail slowly shook, bringing up a piece of silver cat hair.

Chu Qiguang looked at the monsters in the audience, a pair of vertical pupils emitting evil fire, and the roaring inner demon seemed to be surging deep in his mind.

The gathering and gaze of a large number of monsters made Chu Qiguang fall ill again.

But this time, he did not rely on fighting for treatment. Instead, he planned to use speech to cure the strangeness in his heart, just like the previous Chamber of Commerce road show.

Countless famous speeches flashed through Chu Qiguang's mind, and as he slowly spoke, his angry voice squeezed out of his lungs and enveloped the entire audience in the blink of an eye.

"Over the years, our land has been snatched away, our forests and rivers have been occupied, and the fruits of our hard work have been looted."

"Those who have robbed us of the fruits of our labor, those who force farmers, poor people and monsters to kill each other, those who use terror and religion to provoke wars, those who are above us are not even willing to give us the opportunity for equal dialogue. people..."

"They asked us to risk our lives for a little... pitiful, scarce, just enough resources to survive!"

Full of anger and hatred were conveyed along with Chu Qiguang's speech.

The monsters in the audience seemed to recall the dark experiences in the past, and their moods became depressed. Only Chu Qiguang's voice could be heard throughout the scene.

"But it's different now."

"In three years, in just three years, we have acquired knowledge that transcends the times! We have completed an accumulation that can shock the entire world."

"Through our will, through our work, and through our ingenuity, we have accomplished things that the princes, nobles, and princes could never accomplish!"

As he spoke, Chu Qiguang waved his right paw, and the monsters in the audience burst into cheers.

"A great era is coming."

"On the rotting corpse of the big man, a new community is being built. That is our eternal dream and goal!"

The fanatical atmosphere spread towards the entire scene through Chu Qiguang's words, constantly stimulating the monsters on the scene to become more and more excited.

"Our minds have awakened, but more of our compatriots, whether they are humans or monsters, are still in ignorance, living in dire straits, and living the same dark days as we did before."

"Now... it's time to convince them."

"For our demon clan! For mankind! For the workers all over the world who have been robbed and had their bones and marrow sucked out! We must fight! We must fight!"

Following Chu Qiguang's shout, all the monsters on the scene roared.

In Chu Qiguang's eyes, the strange fire became brighter and brighter, and the disease in his heart continued to expand and be released.

He looked at the monsters in the field and shouted word by word: "We will fight to the end. We will fight in Shuzhou, fight in the snowy mountains, fight in the forest with stronger will and strength, at all costs." Defend the fruits of our labor!”

"We will fight in the basin, we will fight on the enemy's base camp, we will fight in the fields and streets, we will fight in the mountains, and never give up!"

"We will never relax, we will never get tired, we will never lose courage, and we will never give up our faith!"

"They can persecute us, they can kill us, but we will never surrender."

The monsters shouted after Chu Qiguang, and the atmosphere at the scene became more and more lively.

The energy and blood in the bodies of some powerful monsters began to circulate violently, and even the air seemed to be ignited.

Chu Qiguang's voice was overwhelming and continued to ring in the ears of all the monsters.

"We will keep fighting until the ideals we think about day and night come true, until people of all classes in the world unite, until we become the masters of the new world!"

"We will be unshakable! Our will will be overwhelming!"

"Whether it's a demon or a human! The fate of all people will no longer be controlled by anyone else, it will only be created by ourselves!"

"Go! Go and take the world by storm!"

"Start from Shuzhou!"

"From the northern border to the south, from the East China Sea to the western region."

"Awaken all our compatriots! Let the whole world know our existence."

Following Chu Qiguang's shout, all the monsters present shouted excitedly, and intense emotions reverberated in the chests of every monster.

They looked at Chu Qiguang feverishly, the fighting spirit in their eyes burning.

Lei Yushu clenched his fists excitedly, his cheeks flushed, looking at Chu Qiguang on the stage... her whole body seemed to be gleaming in her eyes, causing the blood and energy in her body to circulate violently: "That's it! Change the life of monsters all over the world! Let’s live this life in a different way!”

Qiao Zhi's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he sighed in his heart: 'Chu Qiguang in the previous life... would never say such a thing. Changed...everything really changed. But are his words sincere, or are they just to seduce demons? ’

Even with Qiao Zhi's familiarity with Chu Qiguang, he couldn't tell what the other person's true thoughts were at this moment.

Zhou Yujiao looked at Chu Qiguang on the stage. A look of boredom appeared on the ten-year-old girl's face: "Oh, it's all about the ideological class... It's so boring. Why hasn't it been finished for so long... so early in the morning?" Attend class……'

Chen Gang looked at Chu Qiguang on the stage nervously and excitedly.

Although he had been following Chu Qiguang and watching the other person's words and deeds, he had already made some guesses in his heart, but at this moment he still couldn't help but tremble.

Although Chu Qiguang didn't say it clearly, Chen Gang still heard it...

‘Brother Gou is indeed planning to rebel. ’

‘But without Brother Gou, I, Chen Gang, would only die. ’

‘And if Brother Dog is the emperor, he will be better than the current Dog Emperor. ’

‘Hehe, I might also be able to get a title by then. ’

Chen Gang thought about how he originally just wanted to follow the other party around, but he turned into a monster, and now he has escalated all the way to a rebellion. It is really more and more exciting...

The Thirteenth Mother listened to Chu Qiguang's speech, with a trace of expectation and hatred flashing in her eyes: "As long as we follow Chu Qiguang, one day... we will learn from the Master."

Thinking of the past when her whole family was wiped out by the Tianshi Cult in Donghai State, the flame of revenge in Shisanniang's heart burned brightly.

Qiu Yuebai, Qiao Zina and a group of Huangtian Dao people and Da Zhu monsters... At this moment, they looked at the reactions of the monsters around them in surprise.

They have been playing in the dictation room since they arrived at Yaoyin Village. They have no idea why these monsters are so enthusiastic and excited.

But when Qiu Yuebai saw Chu Qiguang transform into a cat demon, she was already shocked.

‘Chu Qiguang is indeed not a human being...have I been being played by a monster? ’

Although I had seen the situation in Yaoyin Village before, I had some guesses in my mind.

But today I saw the change in Chu Qiguang's figure with my own eyes. He was not even a human being... This made the sense of shame in Qiu Yuebai's heart keep pouring out.

After hearing the other party's speech, although there were many parts that she didn't particularly understand, she understood one thing.

"Is he going to lead the monsters in rebellion?"

In this life, Qiu Yuebai has not yet met Yi Siman, nor has he colluded with the northern demon clan.

In the past, she was just preaching in Yongzhou, but now it has suddenly escalated into a rebellion, and her mood suddenly became complicated.

She sighed in her heart: 'Senior brother... I was forced to do this... what should I do? ’

The other heavenly maidens and commander-in-chief of Huangtian Dao on the side also looked at each other. They didn't expect that Chu Qiguang's plan was so big, and they suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.

In their opinion, although Chu Qiguang was powerful and the Han Dynasty was weakening day by day, Chu Qiguang's capital was far from enough if he wanted to rebel.

If they fail, won't they also die and be exterminated?

On the other side, Qiao Zina looked excited. In her eyes, the human dynasty in the Central Plains was naturally very unpleasant.

For this big Zhu monster, it is only natural that the monster race rules the human race.

Now that she saw that Chu Qiguang was going to lead the monsters to rebel against the human dynasty, it was very suitable to her taste.

Qiao Zina clenched her fists and thought to herself: 'So it turned out that they were going to rebel... Couldn't we have said no earlier? I'll do it. ’

After Chu Qiguang finished speaking, the first batch of monsters boarded two Chongming birds and flew towards Shuzhou.

This group of monsters are mainly craftsmen and teachers in the village. They will build schools and workshops in the monster village in Shuzhou, laying the foundation for Chu Qiguang's next strategy.

They want to change the minds of more Shuzhou monsters, build a network of blood pools, and build more Qi and blood cores, farmers, and workers.

After that, groups of monsters from Yaoyin Village would continue to go to Shuzhou every day to provide support.

While they are building the demon village and increasing the power behind the Bashu Chamber of Commerce, they are preparing to take over the demon country and run the Buddhist world.

In addition to them, Chu Qiguang will naturally go to Shuzhou next. However, in addition to arranging various projects in Lingzhou, the most important thing is to improve his strength again.

‘The profound gift increases the level, and the dark gift integrates knowledge. Both of these can be kept as trump cards to adjust my combat capabilities anytime and anywhere in future battles. ’

‘On the contrary, I have collected a lot of Cursed Gifts, so I can use them. ’

The benefits of cursed gifts are not controllable, so it is better for Chu Qiguang to obtain them in advance.

And this time there were more than twenty cursed gifts, which allowed Chu Qiguang to explore the rules.

…

Zhou Yujiao was brought to the courtyard of Yaoyin Village by Chu Qiguang. She looked at the statues on the ground with a strange look on her face: "What are you doing, brother?"

The statues on the ground are statues of gods collected by Chu Qiguang from all over the world, including Taoist Xuanyuan from the Tianshi Sect, Huangtian God from the Huangtian Tao, Buddha of the Buddhas, and Jiutian Laoxian from the Wuwei Sect.

Chu Qiguang grabbed Zhou Yujiao and worshiped together: "Taoist Master Xuanyuan! Bless me with great blessings. I will kowtow to you with my sister in my arms."

While Zhou Yujiao was kowtowing, she couldn't help but say: "You want to kowtow again? And how can you worship gods and kowtow four times in one go? Brother, are you old and confused?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Kowtow well, bow to each one, and don't talk nonsense when you bow."

After Zhou Yujiao finished bowing, Chu Qiguang explained: "What do you know? This is called not putting eggs in one basket."

"The more you worship, it means you have a share of every god."

Zhou Yujiao thought for a moment and said, "Are those four too few? How about we worship a few more?"

"I haven't found a way to find other gods yet, so that's it for today."

After Chu Qiguang pulled Zhou Yujiao to worship each god, he took out a part of the cursed gift.

The more than twenty cursed gifts on his body were divided into four groups, and he had drained them all at this moment.

First, from Huangtian Dao Zun, Chu Qiguang obtained 3 Mad Faith Spine, 2 Dragon Scales, and 1 Huangtian Lung.

This wave increased Chu Qiguang's fanatical spine to 10 knots in one breath, allowing him to have more power of faith and use more of the power of the Heavenly Master's Teaching Talisman or the Emperor's Dao Talisman Water in battle.

The dragon scales were combined with Chu Qiguang's original transformation dragon scales to form a layer of invisible scale-like power on his body surface, which could directly reduce the damage to the physical body.

Emperor Tian's Lungs Chu Qiguang had obtained before, but this repeated draw directly strengthened his lungs again, allowing him to strengthen both the power of his breath and the quality of his physical body.

Chu Qiguang and his sister were the second ones to worship Taoist Xuanyuan, and received 2 Vientiane Gangliu*, Taichu Palm Power, 1 Phoenix Blood Marrow, 1 Kirin Horn, and 1 Xuanwu Carapace.

The Vientiane Gangliu strengthened the affinity of his atmosphere for him, increasing the power of Chu Qiguang's Gangqi.

Taichu's palm power seemed to be transmitted from a certain martial god who believed in Xuanyuan Taoist Master, which increased Chu Qiguang's hand strength and the explosive power of his wrist.

The following Phoenix Blood Marrow was drawn by Chu Qiguang last time, allowing his body to recover in the flames. Drawing it repeatedly this time once again enhanced the recovery power in the flames.

The unicorn horn made Chu Qiguang's energy and blood deeper, and in disguise strengthened the power of the flame's energy.

The Xuanwu carapace blended into his blood like an elixir, slowly increasing the strength of his bones, which was equivalent to strengthening the power of the Diamond White Bone Demonic Art in disguise.

The third one that Chu Qiguang and his sister bowed to was the Nine-Tian Old Immortal of Wuwei Sect. Through the curse gift, they successively received the Breath of the Universe, the Comfort of Ice*2, Wuwei Induction, the Wind of Mind, and the Abandonment of Five Consciousnesses.

Among them, the direction in which cosmic respiration and coldness should be enhanced is the adaptability to vacuum and low temperature in the universe, so that the physical body can withstand stronger pressure and low temperature.

It is said that Wuwei induction can enhance a kind of spiritual sixth sense, and the perception in battle will become more and more acute.

The wind of mind can create a breeze by allowing people to directly control the atmosphere with spiritual power. For Chu Qiguang, the biggest advantage of this is that it makes his gang energy attacks more changeable and flexible.

The abandonment of the five senses means that as the sensitivity of the five senses decreases, the spiritual power becomes stronger.

In the end, Chu Qiguang and Jiaojiao worshiped the statue of Buddha, and the cursed gifts they drew were not beyond his expectation. They were all related to Buddhism.

They are Buddha Fire*3, Holy Monk Relics, and Buddha Throat Zen Sound.

After the Buddha's Fire was obtained by Chu Qiguang, it was directly refined. With the beating of the heart and the circulation of Qi and blood, it was quickly integrated into the entire body, silently enhancing Chu Qiguang's various physical qualities.

The Zen sound of Buddha's Throat gives Chu Qiguang's shouts a strong shocking effect. When shouting with all his strength, he can even produce a powerful concussive attack.

The last holy monk's relic was an item that appeared out of thin air in Chu Qiguang's palm.

This relic is very similar to the relic of the fallen monk in Li Yaofeng's hand, and can be used as a key to the Buddhist world.

As long as Chu Qiguang practices hard, he may be able to open the door to the Buddhist world anytime and anywhere through this holy monk's relic.

After drawing out this wave of cursed gifts, Chu Qiguang compared the different gifts from worshiping different gods and made a vague conclusion.

"After worshiping the God of Heaven, the gifts given to me are all kinds of messy organs of non-human creatures, with different functions. I feel that they are the most complicated ones, and they are still transforming my body."

"Tao Zun Xuanyuan likes to give you things related to martial arts or monsters."

"After worshiping the Nine Heavens Old Immortal, the curse gifts drawn seem to be related to the adaptation of the universe or the power of the spirit."

"The last Buddha, as expected... naturally gave me something related to Buddhism."

Among the things that benefited today, the one that made Chu Qiguang most satisfied was the holy monk's relic.

"The relics of the holy monks of Maha Temple."

"A monk who can travel through the Buddhist world before his death."

"The relics that remain after death become the key to traveling through the Buddhist world."

"Listen carefully, and you can seem to hear bursts of Zen singing coming from the relics."

This holy monk's relic allows him to freely open the door to the Buddhist world and enter the Buddhist world anytime, anywhere. This will be very beneficial for him to conquer Shuzhou and snow-capped mountains in the future.

And as each cursed gift came to fruition, Chu Qiguang's strength also continued to increase in rounds.

The halo behind him began to spread and expand around him.

It seemed that vaguely, a ninth halo of light was about to emerge from the center.

However, this growth is getting slower and slower. Although it is getting closer, it seems to have reached a limit in the end, and after all, the ninth halo of light has not erupted from Chu Qiguang's back.

‘I should be at the limit of the eighth ring now. ’

‘The further you go, the harder it becomes to grow the halo. It seems unlikely that I will reach the level of the ninth ring today. ’

‘I can only keep my feet on the ground and continue to accumulate step by step. ’

After making all the preparations, Chu Qiguang took Qiao Zhi on the Eagle Demon Qiao Zina and headed to Shuzhou, preparing to start a new round of Shuzhou operations.

It has been nearly half a year since he last left Shuzhou today.

In the past six months, the Shuzhou Chamber of Commerce has continued to flourish, starting from Bafu.

Zhang Jitian, the future champion of martial arts, obeyed Chu Qiguang's instructions.

In the past six months, a large area of ​​land in Bafu has been rented, a large number of civilians have been hired for intensive farming, and agricultural talents have been cultivated.

At the same time, the weapons shop in Bafu City is also doing a booming business. A large number of merchants come here every day to buy bone tools, and then leave Bafu and sell them along the way, gradually forming a business network that spreads throughout Shuzhou.

But if Chu Qiguang wants to run Shuzhou, the local wealthy families, indigenous people, monsters, and robbery sects are all huge obstacles.

And this time he doesn't plan to unite local forces through interests like he did in Lingzhou...

Today, his strength and power are different from those in the past, and he wants more.
