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

After obtaining the "Ape Fencing Technique", Su Rui left the backyard of the government office.

After instructing his servants to go to the market to select several solid wooden swords of different styles, he began to practice the "Ape Fencing Technique".

Now, he has mastered the sword tactics in his head, but not in his body. If he wants to use the sword tactics quickly and effectively deal with various attacks, he still needs to spend a lot of time practicing and accumulating. In this regard, he requires himself to at least practice the sword tactics to form a conditioned reflex!

His understanding of a martial arts master is that he has strong skills and mobility, and also has the ability to micro-control or layout.

"Ape Fencing Technique" happens to be the martial art that can give him powerful skills and mobility. As long as he practices it well, coupled with his eyes, becoming a young martial arts master won't be as easy as eating a cucumber, right?

The servant quickly bought the wooden sword back, and Su Rui found that there was a wooden sword made of thunder-struck peach wood in it. He still remembered the plot of using peach wood swords to kill ghosts and zombies in the movie clearly. Regardless of whether the plot of the movie was true or not, he chose this wooden sword as the first sword in his swordsman career without hesitation. It was a commemoration of the past world!

This wooden sword is two feet long, which is shorter than other wooden swords. It is dark red all over, with clear wood grain, as if it was forged from fire clouds.

Su Rui felt the sword was quite heavy, but the weight was not suitable for a man of his age.

However, based on its special material, Su Rui felt that it didn't matter if it was a little heavier.

After asking the servants, I learned that this peach wood sword was actually bought from a young Taoist priest. Since the sword was too short and looked like it was modified from a broken sword, the price was not high.

Su Rui picked up another long sword made of paulownia wood. This sword was the same length as the standard long sword, three feet long, but was slightly lighter than the peach wood sword.

He asked the servants to put away the remaining wooden swords, and then hid in his room to start practicing sword skills.

It was not until nearly the evening hour that Su Rui walked out of the room and found the dusty Captain Wu in the government office. He had just returned to the county government office from Jiqi Town and was reporting the investigation to Magistrate Su.

Suri sat by the door and listened.

According to the description of Captain Wu, there were no obvious signs of fighting at the murder scene of the hunters of the Chen family, but it cannot be ruled out that it was not the real scene. From the Chen family to the temple two kilometers away, there were indeed signs of chasing and fighting, but the monk mentioned by Liu Yishou was not found. There were claw marks on the trunk of the giant tree next to the temple. There were ten small holes of one to two inches on the trunk at chest level. There was poison on the wall of the hole, which seemed to be scratched by human hands. After inspection, the poison on the fingernails of the female corpse of the Chen family matched...

A lot of details were given later, and the more Su Rui listened, the more creepy he felt. The results of the investigation obviously confirmed the hunter Liu Yishou's statement. The young lady of the Chen family really had faked her death!

Magistrate Su did not seem surprised by the results of the investigation. He simply ordered Captain Wu to stop the investigation and wait for instructions.

When Captain Wu came out of Magistrate Su's public house, Su Rui greeted him and said, "Captain Wu, my father said that from now on, you will be the one to teach me Kung Fu during the You hour!"

"The county magistrate did say this. Erlang, come with me!" Captain Wu nodded, then walked out of the county government office.

When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, Captain Wu seemed to have just remembered something and said apologetically, "Erlang, my daughter is at home, and I am the only one keeping her company. I need to go back to keep her company after I finish my shift, so that my mother and daughter can rest assured. The master asked me to teach you martial arts, so there is no problem. But the place to practice martial arts... I am afraid that you will have to practice in my yard!"

"What's the big deal? Don't act like a girl, martial arts master. Just lead the way!" Su Rui waved his hand. He really didn't care. He didn't feel bored in the county government these days, but he didn't dare to interact with people too much, for fear of being exposed accidentally. Now it would be better to have a place to practice martial arts outside the county government.

Captain Wu patted Su Rui's shoulder gratefully, turned around and led the way without saying a word.

Su Rui covered his shoulder and grimaced in pain. He felt like the bones in his shoulder were about to be broken, but since Captain Wu was in front of him, he couldn't show it.

Walking through the streets and alleys, the two of them arrived at the west district of the county.

The courtyard of Wu Butou's house is in an alley near the west city gate. This area is close to the mountains and the residents are basically hunters. Hunters live by the blade. When they have a harvest, they can eat and drink well, but when they don't, they can only starve. Although they are highly skilled in martial arts, their living security is insufficient and they don't have many requirements for the living environment. Therefore, this western area has become one of the most chaotic and difficult to manage places in the entire county.

In the original body's memory, Captain Wu was born in this area, and after being promoted to captain, he did not move away from the area.

Tongqu County did not plan the residential area in detail, but only stipulated the number of households in each area, so the residential buildings in the entire county were very chaotic, with both large and small houses in one area. The inconvenience of management was also one of the sources of chaos in this area.

"Xiao Xuan, you left the government office so early today?"

"It's getting late, it's already You time!"

"Brother Wu, is there any news about my family's case?"

"not yet!"

"Damn chicken thief, he even steals the hens that lay eggs..."

"..."

Captain Wu led Su Rui along the stone path beside Huanxi River. People kept greeting him along the way. Captain Wu responded to every one of them.

Su Rui was watching from the side and felt that the scene was very intimate. It was also at this time that he learned that the full name of Wu Butou was Wu Xuan.

"Mom, I'm back!"

After walking along Huanxi River for about a quarter of an hour, Captain Wu finally stopped in front of a courtyard gate and shouted in a muffled voice.

Su Rui took the opportunity to look around the courtyard in front of him.

The courtyard of Captain Wu's house is not a wealthy one, but it is quite spacious. As it is separated from the adjacent courtyard by a stream, the view is very broad.

The houses nearby basically have a one-living room and two-wing rooms. Captain Wu's house is the same, except that there is a tall and peculiar yellow horn tree next to the well in front of the east wing.

At this time, autumn has already arrived. The leaves on the yellow horn tree have turned yellow, and there are a few scattered dead leaves on the dirt in the yard.

The empty yard and the dead leaves on the old trees made Su Rui feel a little lonely.

The front of the west wing door is planted with sunflowers. Although the flowers are yellowish, they look full of vitality and make people feel happy.

There are two artistic conceptions hidden in one yard, which makes Su Rui marvel.

Just as Su Rui stepped onto the stone path that divided the yard into two different worlds, he saw a little girl about his age running out of the hall door while shouting "Daddy".

But when she saw Su Rui, she slowed down and started walking. When she got to the two of them, she first called "Daddy" obediently, then looked at Su Rui and asked curiously, "Daddy, who is this brother?"

Su Rui's face darkened. He was indeed a little shorter than the girl now, but he was not necessarily the younger brother!

Captain Wu didn't pay attention to these details. He squatted down and touched the girl's hair, gently brushed off the dust on her clothes, and said in a deep voice: "This is Su Qinghe, the second son of the county magistrate. He will soon be your junior apprentice brother!"

Su Rui was too tired to complain. The father and daughter had decided to treat him as their younger brother today!

"Erlang, this is my daughter, Wu Qianqian!"

After introducing Su Rui, Captain Wu took the girl's hand and introduced her to Su Rui.

"Wu Da, why don't you invite the young master of the county magistrate's family into the house?"

At this time, the half-white-haired old woman came out, her waist slightly bent, as if she could no longer stand up. Behind her followed a little boy with a bruised face and nose. The boy looked a little older than Su Rui, about 11 or 12 years old, and his clothes were clean, but with many patches.

"Mom, Erlang was arranged by the county magistrate to come here to practice martial arts with me. It's a bit late, and Erlang has to go back to the county government office at 10 p.m., so we won't go into the house!" Captain Wu responded in a muffled voice.

"In that case, then you should go and teach him quickly, and teach him carefully! But be careful not to hurt the young man!" the old woman ordered.

"Mom, I know!" Captain Wu nodded and responded in a muffled voice.

"Little Stone, you go too, and practice with the young master!" The old woman pulled the little boy behind her out and instructed slowly.

Su Rui had long noticed that Captain Wu's expression changed when he saw the little boy, but he never showed it in front of the old woman.

At this moment, he could no longer hold back and asked sternly, "Xiao Shi, are you in trouble again?"

"Master~" The little boy looked aggrieved and almost shed tears.

"Wu Da, Xiao Shitou's parents died early. As his master, you have to take more responsibility for him!" Seeing this, the old woman pulled the little boy and said.

"Mom, I understand!" Captain Wu once again suppressed his unhappiness and responded.

"Young Master, you guys practice first, I won't be an eyesore here!"

The old woman greeted Suri and then went into the house.

At this time, there were only one big and three small ones left in the huge yard.

Captain Wu did not continue to embarrass the boy named Xiao Shitou. Instead, he led the three of them to the yellow horn tree and began to teach Su Rui martial arts.
