At the beginning, you will meet a fox demon and be taught the art of immortality

That night, after Zhang San fell asleep, Su Rui asked the officer on duty for the cell key and quietly took off the jade pendant from his waist.

When he woke up the next day and looked at Zhang San, he had turned into a cold corpse.

There was a gray-black pinch mark on his neck, probably because he was strangled to death by two female ghosts.

In fact, if he had not committed so many evil things and was not surrounded by the female ghost all day long, corroded by her negative energy and lost his vigilance, the female ghost would not have been able to kill him in this way.

Not to mention those martial artists with sufficient qi and blood, even ordinary mortals can clearly sense when ghosts are approaching. Unless they are at the level of a fierce ghost, ordinary ghosts can only use methods such as covering people's eyes with ghosts or using illusions to cause accidents, and they have no way to kill people directly.

The two female ghosts yesterday were able to kill people directly, and they had obviously reached the level of evil spirits.

Su Rui also sighed about this. Zhang San's sin was so great that he turned the two maids into evil spirits.

When the jailer saw that the bodies were scattered, he immediately sent someone to report the situation to Magistrate Su.

The officer who was on duty yesterday was also at the scene. He looked at Su Rui meaningfully, but he didn't dare say anything because Zhang San was still alive when Su Rui returned the cell key yesterday, but now he was strangled to death. The marks on his neck were long and cold, which obviously didn't look like the work of Su Rui, so he didn't dare say anything.

Zhang San's death aroused the prisoners' speculation and panic, but it was quickly suppressed by the prison boss and the guards. Zhang San's body was also carried out.

For Su Rui, this matter is over.

It's time.

Magistrate Su hurried to the prison with a group of officials and announced that any minor criminals who were willing to participate in hunting the monster would be exempted from punishment and could also receive the reward according to the order.

The prisoners were attracted by the bounty, especially the martial artists from other places who wanted to become famous or get rich, and they immediately expressed their desire to sign up.

Magistrate Su was very busy. After announcing the decree, he just met with Su Rui, asked him to pack up and return to the inner courtyard, and then hurriedly left the prison again.

As the bounty was issued, the atmosphere in the entire prison became restless.

The officers followed their superiors' orders and asked the prisoners who were willing to participate in the monster hunting to sign a commitment. As long as they signed and drew their pledge, they would be released, and they would be kindly guided to go to the City God Temple first to receive a talisman before going out of the city to hunt.

They are not afraid that these prisoners will cheat. They are prisoners with minor sentences and will be released after a few days. If they cheat and their reputation is ruined, it will be a loss!

Besides, warriors value their promises. As the saying goes, a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. A promise is worth one thousand and two pieces of gold!

Why would you run away when you are bound by fame and fortune?

There’s nothing we can do about it, just see you on the wanted list!

Now that she could return to normal life, Su Rui didn't insist on staying.

He didn't bring anything with him when he came, so he naturally didn't have anything to pack when he left, but there were a few people he needed to say goodbye to.

He first came to the cell of the burly man Li Tong, and seeing him packing his bags, he knew that he had signed up to hunt monsters.

When he saw Su Rui coming over, he thought that Su Rui had also signed up, so he invited him, "Brother, the monsters are powerful. You are alone, why don't you join me? I have a few fellow disciples outside. If we hunt together, even if we don't get anything, it will be safer!"

"Thank you for inviting me, brother. I have a partner outside and have not yet decided whether to participate in this matter! I will discuss with my partner. If he is sure to participate, I will go to find you to form a partnership!" Su Rui clasped his fists in gratitude. He could see that this buddy had invited him purely out of loyalty and did not consider his fighting ability.

The two then exchanged contact addresses and said goodbye.

Li Tong hadn't reacted when he first got Su Rui's contact address. After Su Rui left, he remembered: Why is this boy living in the county government office? Is he a servant in the county government office? Was he imprisoned because he committed a crime? This thought seemed to make sense, and he didn't think much about the fact that the yamen would be imprisoned.

After saying goodbye to Li Tong, Su Rui came to Old Man Wei.

He made Old Man Wei angry yesterday and had asked the jailer to prepare a table of wine and food for Old Man Wei, but he didn't dare to chat with him in person.

At this time, Old Man Wei was playing Go with Old Man Zhao Zhuan across the wooden fence of the cell.

When he saw Su Rui coming over, he didn't even look at him, but just snorted coldly.

Su Rui didn't care, he just said sincerely:

"Grandpa Wei, Grandpa Zhao, I am released from prison today and I came here to say goodbye to you two!"

"Grandpas, if you have any problems in Tongqu County, you can come find me. I live in the county government office!"

Old man Wei pretended not to hear, but old man Zhao nodded and said "goodbye".

Su Rui clasped his fists, said "Goodbye", turned around and left.

After Su Rui left, old man Zhao Zhuan said to old man Wei:

"Alliance leader, this kid has such a good heart and lives in the county government office. Could he be the child of Magistrate Su?"

Old Man Wei sighed: "Judging from his words and actions, he is most likely a son of a noble family... He is a good boy, but it's a pity that he doesn't want to take me as his master!"

"Alliance leader, it would be a pity if such a good child were to be admitted to Dalin Temple!"

"Doesn't he want to learn the Golden Bell Cover? Why don't you go to Dalin Temple and ask for some, and then teach him..."

"In this way, you can accept him as your disciple and pass on your teachings, and he can also learn the Golden Bell Cover he wants. It can be said to be the best of both worlds!"

After old man Zhao Zhuan recognized old man Wei, he wanted to trick this great master into going out to fight in the martial arts world again, so that he could follow behind with his disciples and curry favor with him. When he saw the opportunity, he tried his best to instigate.

Old Man Wei pondered for a moment and actually thought it was a good idea.

As for whether Dalin Temple is one of the holy places of martial arts? This was not within his consideration.

Who is Wei Potian? He is the leader of the Southwest Wulin who has mastered the true qi of martial arts at the age of forty!

That day, Old Man Wei followed Old Man Zhao and the other two out of the Tongqu County Prison where they had been confined for many years...

But after Su Rui said goodbye to the two old men, he returned to the inner courtyard of the county government.

When Mrs. Su saw him come back, she hurriedly ordered the servants to give him a bath and change his clothes.

When Su Rui finished washing up and came out of the room refreshed, he saw Mrs. Su waiting for him at the door.

"Erlang, the world has been in turmoil lately, so I went to the City God's Mansion to get you and your brother a protective amulet. Remember to wear it day and night, and don't take it off!"

After she finished speaking, the maid Chunhua beside her brought over a sachet containing a yellow talisman.

Su Rui took it and looked at it, but didn't find anything special about it, so he put the sachet into his arms.

He asked Madam Su, "Mother, where is father?"

"I'm afraid he has already led his troops out of the city. Why are you looking for him?"

"Nothing, I just want to know the situation outside the city..."

"You can't leave the city now, it's too chaotic outside..."

Su Rui chatted with Mrs. Su about family matters for a while, then ran to the front yard of the yamen where he did his work, and found that Captain Wu was not there either.

In the entire government office, only a few secretaries and clerks were left.

After Su Rui entered, he heard two clerks discussing the bounty order. One of them said:

"The City God Temple has also issued a bounty order. The person who holds the demon's head can exchange it for some rare treasures such as swords and magic talismans. If you die in battle, you can also be selected as a ghost soldier!"

"That's a ghost! It's a pity that I don't know martial arts, otherwise I would have tried it too!"
