Chapter 17 Eating Meat

As soon as Chu Qiguang returned home, his mother hurriedly asked, "Goofy, where did you go last night?"

Chu Qiguang smiled and picked up the fresh meat and rabbit skin in his right hand and said, "I was so hungry last night, I went to the back mountain to catch rabbits."

The mother's eyes lit up when she saw the rabbit meat: "When did you learn to catch rabbits?"

Chu Qiguang had already thought up an explanation: "Didn't dad teach me before, and I have been practicing secretly these days, so I want to tell you when I catch it."

"My son is really capable. I'll change some oil. I'll fry some rabbit meat for you today. The rabbit skin is a bit small. I'll make you a pair of insoles for winter."

Ergou's mother trusted her son with all her heart, and she didn't have any doubts at all. There was no need for Chu Qiguang to make up other excuses, and she happily took the rabbit meat to deal with.

"I smell meat!"

"Who brought the meat?"

The younger sister in the room rushed out excitedly, turned around her mother, stared at the rabbit meat in her hand with wide eyes, and was as happy as if it was Chinese New Year.

Mother chased him away: "Don't surround me, go play with your brother."

Sister Ergou was kicked out, but she still stayed outside unwillingly, watching her mother busy with expectation.

Chu Qiguang knelt down and touched Qiao Zhi who came back with him. This wild cat who often played with Ergou did not arouse any doubts from his mother and sister.

And Qiao Zhi came with two cats, the two wild cats who used to take Chu Qiguang up the mountain and play with Ergou's sister.

These two wild cats were male and female. According to Qiao Zhi, the male tabby cat was called Yudan, and the white female cat was called Jinxiu. They were Qiao Zhi's smarter cats.

Qiao Zhi pouted at the two cats, and they disappeared out of the room: "Don't worry, Yudan and Jinxiu will watch over you while you're away. If the Wang family wants to do anything, they will come and let us know right away."

Chu Qiguang asked in his heart: "How are the qualifications of my sister and my mother?"

He thought in his heart that his aptitude is so good, maybe this sister and mother are also geniuses, and they can help if they are successful in cultivation.

Qiao Zhi said categorically: "Except for you, your family is all useless for cultivating Taoism and martial arts. If you don't practice for ten or eight years, you won't be able to enter the school."

"No way." Chu Qiguang recalled the memory of Er Gou, and said while thinking: "My old lady only needs to wear a short coat in winter, and her body is still hot when she works barefoot. She is not an ordinary person at first glance. His physique, is he a martial arts talent? A body of nine yangs or a body of extreme yangs?"

Qiao Zhi brushed his beard and said disdainfully: "Eighteen generations of your family's ancestors were poor peasants, and they often couldn't afford to wear clothes and shoes. After passing down from generation to generation, they have become more and more resistant to cold, and they are prone to sweating on the soles of their feet and body heat. It’s not considered a martial arts talent.”

'Is it hereditary?I really... After I came to this world, I took some normal phenomena as supernatural things too much. '

Chu Qiguang thought for a while, and then asked: "Then you see, my sister has all kinds of whimsical ideas every day, like a powerful and unconstrained style, eclectic, shouldn't she be a good cultivator?"

As soon as he heard about Ergou sister, Qiao Zhi immediately sat up straight, and opened his mouth and said, "No way! No way! With your sister's character and temper, she is too easy to go crazy, so I don't know how many cats and people she will harm. You must not let her practice Taoism, or you will not know how many asses you will wipe her in the future."

Chu Qiguang nodded when he heard the words. Although he felt that Qiao Zhi's tone was a bit weird, Qiao Zhi was indeed the most authoritative practitioner he knew at present. He still planned to listen to this cat and gave up the idea of ​​letting his sister and mother practice. It's not suitable to reveal this to them now, let's talk about it later.

Qiao Zhi changed the subject and said, "When will we attack the Wang family?"

Chu Qiguang: "In the past few days, let your animals, such as birds, cats and dogs, monitor the situation of the Wang family, and we will move after we make a plan."

So in the next few days, Chu Qiguang practiced martial arts and Taoism under the guidance of Qiao Zhi every day.

Two hours of samadhi every day not only completely replaced sleep, but also made him more energetic, and his understanding improved slightly every day.

And his physical body has the foundation-building method of the sky demon to lay the foundation, and he maintains the state of practice under Qiao Zhi's supervision for daily food supplements, walking, sitting and lying down. Standard is close.

In just a few days, both mentally and physically were completely reborn.

……

On a platform at the back of the mountain, three mice and two sparrows lined up neatly in front of Qiao Zhi, screaming like soldiers reporting a mission to the general.

These are the little demons that Qiao Zhi sent to monitor the Wang family, and he trained each of them by hand.

Although these little monsters don't have any extraordinary power, they already have some intelligence and can communicate with Qiao Zhi in a simple way. It can be said that it is impossible to guard against human beings.

Qiao Zhi wagged his tail, listened to their feedback, then told Chu Qiguang one by one, and finally asked, "How is it? Do you want to continue today?"

Chu Qiguang nodded: "Just today."

Qiao Zhi said, "Have you thought about whether it is liberal arts or martial arts?"

These days, Chu Qiguang and Qiao Zhi are not only practicing, but also learning the world's characters, culture, and various information from all over the world.

Relying on the comprehension brought by the second level of cultivation and Chu Qiguang's own wisdom, he learned very fast, absorbing the knowledge Qiao Zhi taught him like a sponge, and became more and more familiar with the situation of the world.

Chu Qiguang replied: "I decided to take the martial arts exam."

In this feudal world, the most effective way to join the imperial court and quickly change your destiny is naturally the imperial examination.

However, if he wanted to take the liberal arts exam, Chu Qiguang had to learn the cultural knowledge of this world from the beginning, and he had to gain his reputation and network, which was time-consuming and laborious.

On the contrary, in martial arts, strong is strong, and weak is weak. Put it there clearly, Chu Qiguang just needs to rely on his own qualifications to pass the exam all the way.

Qiao Zhi said: "There are more rules in the martial arts test than in the liberal arts. The first round of the county test also needs to be guaranteed by local people with high morals. If you don't get their approval, you won't even have the opportunity to participate in the martial arts."

Chu Qiguang looked at the direction of the Wang family and said indifferently: "So I will use the Wang family as a stepping stone to help me get in touch with the real wealthy family in Qingyang County."

……

That night, in the bedroom of the young master of the Wang family.

The young master of the Wang family is naturally surnamed Wang, and his name is Cailiang. He is 17 years old this year, and he is the only male in this generation of the Wang family.

This day Wang Cailiang was lying on the bed, touching a wound on the back of his hand.

I don't know where the vicious dog got in the way on the way back home a few days ago. He was going to kick the vicious dog away, but after being kicked hard by him, the dog could still bite on his right palm. He took a bite and ran away with his tail between his legs, but was never found again.

At this moment, the young master of the Wang family felt itchy on the wound on his right palm, he just felt tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.

In this quiet night, he suddenly heard the wind rumbling outside the window, and the door of the room suddenly slammed.

Wang Cailiang was thinking that it was the servant girl who hadn't closed the door properly, when he suddenly heard the sound of the wind approaching, and the door was blown open.

Then there was the clanging sound of footsteps, approaching the couch, Wang Cailiang became frightened in his heart, and looked up to the side of the bed.

Then I saw a tall black shadow standing on the head of the bed. It was pitch black and I couldn't make out its shape. My head seemed to be touching the beam of the house, and two green lights were like will-o'-the-wisps, looking at him faintly.

A high-pitched and thin human voice sounded: "Well, you are a dandy, you kicked my stomach open that day and caused me to die. Today I will seek revenge from you."

"Are you that vicious dog?" Wang Cailiang was terrified in his heart. When he rolled over, he wanted to run out of the house, but found that his eyes were darkened and his head was covered by something. The next moment, he felt a pain in the back of his head and fainted. dead past.

The next morning, the maid was carrying a hot water face towel to take care of the young master to wash up, but found Wang Cailiang lying on the ground, naked to the waist, with black hairs growing on his back. The maid was so startled that she dropped the basin and shouted After leaving, the whole house was immediately alarmed.
