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

Just as Su Rui and the little fox "Lotus" were busy killing chickens for supper in the kitchen at the backyard of the county government office.

In the City God Temple of Tongqu County, in a deep space, there is a continuous building of ten acres in radius floating. These buildings are pavilions, towers and palaces. On the lintel of the magnificent palace in the center, there are three large characters "City God Temple" hanging prominently.

In the main hall, a divine man in golden armor was writing at his desk.

In the corridor of the main hall, there stood two teams of ghost officials with sinister looks, led by two judges of ghosts and gods, one civil and one military.

The civil judge stood at the head of the team on the left, wearing a green robe and a black gauze hat. Except for the two golden divine patterns on his pale face, he looked no different from an ordinary person. The military judge was at the head of the team on the right, wearing Yin iron chain mail and a double-curled-tail heron crown on his head. He had a green face and fangs, and there was also a golden divine pattern on each side of his face.

After the divine man at the desk put down his jade pen, Judge Wu, who was at the bottom of the list, bowed and reported, "Sir, the soldiers sent to Jiqi have returned home. The case of Chen's young lady's fake corpse has been investigated, and the land god of Jiqi has also been brought in! Because the case involves changes in the mountains, it is a serious matter. Please make a decision, sir!"

"What happened in the mountain?" The god looked up when he heard this. He was about 40 years old and had a gaunt appearance. If it weren't for the four divine lines on his face, he would be an elegant general. This god was the city god who governed Tongqu County.

"It's just that there is a riot of demons and ghosts. A small group of demons and ghosts are pouring into the world of the living in my thoroughfare area. The rest of the situation still needs to be investigated." Judge Wu replied.

"Go and find out the situation quickly!" The City God frowned.

“Yes!” Judge Wu bowed his head and accepted the order.

"Each of the wandering gods, day and night, will lead a battalion of soldiers to set up checkpoints at the boundary roads to intercept all the demons and ghosts that enter the world of the living without any reason! Anyone who sneaks across the boundary will be killed without mercy!!" the City God gave another order.

"Order!"

The two ghosts and gods standing behind Judge Wu stepped out and bowed in response.

As soon as this order came out, the atmosphere in the City God Temple suddenly became solemn and murderous!

The next day at 11:00 a.m.

Su Rui sat up from the bed with difficulty, rubbed his sleeping face fiercely, and then jumped off the bed. He played chicken with the little fox demon last night and fell asleep at about Chou time, which caused him to be seriously sleep deprived.

He opened the door like a sleepwalker, but saw that it was still dark, so he went back to the house, took out his peach wood sword, ran out to the backyard, and began to practice "Ape Fencing Technique" with all his energy.

Yesterday he spent three or four hours practicing sword techniques. Except for a few difficult body movements, he was able to perform other sword moves. However, if he wanted to use them smoothly, he would need to practice for a long time.

After practicing for half an hour, when the sky gradually brightened, he put away his sword, took a short breath, and climbed onto the roof, waiting for the sun to rise, ready to receive the sun's energy at the hour of Mao and practice the "Golden Light Pupil of Mao Sun"...

At 7:00 p.m., Su Rui stopped practicing. After today's practice, the golden spots in the depths of his pupils became slightly larger.

At this rate, after practicing for another ten or eight days, he would be able to transform both of his pupils into gold and reach the minor success stage.

Su Rui was not in a hurry. This matter had to be carried out step by step. Unless he encountered suitable treasures and elixirs, there was no possibility of quick success.

After discovering Lotus's identity as a fox demon last night, he became curious and wanted to go out and find out if there was any news about any demon trouble in the county.

It's not that he didn't ask the little fox demon, but although this guy was greedy and clumsy, he only admitted that he was just staying temporarily in the county government office and had no bad intentions towards the Su family. He kept his mouth shut about other things and said he knew nothing.

Although Su Rui was curious about her origins and other situations of the monsters in the world, he did not want to force her to speak. It was rare to meet someone with a sense of confidentiality, and Su Rui felt that he should respect them, whether they were human or monster.

After greeting Madam Su, he left the county government office accompanied by his servants, carrying a wooden sword on his back and a blowgun on his waist.

The sun is shining outside and the autumn breeze is warm.

This made Su Rui feel refreshed all of a sudden, and he couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the great poet Du Mu stopped his car to sit and enjoy the maple forest in the evening. This weather is really lovely!"

On the left side of the county government office is a large house. The owner's surname is Li. Although he is a businessman, his status is one of the best in the county. Further out is a wild river called Tongqu River, where many fishermen and children usually fish.

Going up the river, there is a bustling street market.

When Su Rui walked up the river to this street, he saw a bustling restaurant near the river.

The foundation of this restaurant was specially raised with sand and gravel. A small pond connected to the wild river was dug outside the side door. The pond embankment was reinforced with sand and gravel, and a gauze curtain and table were placed on it.

The arrangement seemed out of place, but it did have a certain wildness.

Su Rui walked along the pond embankment and found that it was full of people. Most of them were drinking and fishing, and a small number of them were just there to drink and eat.

Before he traveled through time, he loved fishing when he had nothing to do, but he had no plans to go fishing today. After taking a look around, he entered the restaurant through the side door with his servants.

The restaurant was even more lively. The waiter who greeted guests asked Su Rui to wait for a while before finding a small table in the corner to seat him.

After asking the waiter to bring a cup of tea and three snacks, Su Rui began to listen to the excitement.

"There have been more and more cases of livestock theft in the city recently. It's happening almost everywhere in the city. Every household has lost livestock..."

"Just last night, I heard that a child was stolen. I wonder if it has anything to do with livestock thieves?"

"A demon appeared in the southern Fujian Road and turned the Yue people into zombies. The imperial court's 10,000 troops suffered heavy casualties. The emperor was furious and planned to send an additional 30,000 troops to flatten southern Fujian..."

"I heard that a demon appeared in our southwest road..."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense about such a thing, or you'll be punished by the government for spreading rumors and misleading the public!"

"The latest Heavenly Ranking has been updated. Sun Tianyun, the owner of the Divine Sword Villa who had been ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking for ten years, suddenly fell off the list. There are reports that he has passed away due to illness..."

"How could such a godly figure get sick? It must be a rumor."

"Speaking of Shenjian Villa, do you still remember Young Master Sun of Shenjian Villa? The White-haired Swordsman has already voluntarily admitted defeat and dropped from the Earth Ranking!"

"What about Young Master Sun?"

"Of course, he replaced the White-haired Swordsman and became the fifth-best expert on the Earth Ranking!"

……

Su Rui picked out some topics that interested him and listened attentively for a while. Finding that there was no storytelling in the hotel that morning, he did not want to waste time here any more. He asked the waiter to pack up the uneaten pastries in a lunch box and asked the servant to take it, then he walked out of the restaurant.

He planned to go to the City God Temple again and then return to the county government office.

However, after walking a few steps, he saw two familiar figures.

But their situation was not good. They were surrounded by a group of teenagers at the corner of the restaurant, and they seemed to be forcing them to hand over something. The teenagers had blue animal patterns on their bare arms. They were the rogues called Qingpi.

Although the surrounding streets were bustling with people, no one seemed willing to meddle in the affairs of these young men.

If it was someone else, Su Rui would not bother to care, and might even stand aside and watch. But one of the two people who were trapped was Wu Qianqian, and the other was Xiao Shitou. He couldn't just ignore this matter!

There were about seven or eight young men, and the leader was particularly tall. Su Rui measured and found that the other party was at least twice as tall and strong as him.

If he just went over with the peach wood sword, he would not only fail to pull the strings, but also lose a life. So he took out the blowgun, added a little toad venom, aimed at the leader's tall, green-skinned carotid artery and blew it.

Very good, I didn’t win!

It seemed that the tall, green-skinned man was about to extend his claws towards Wu Qianqian.

Su Rui secretly cursed, untied his peach wood sword and rushed forward. Before the opponent could react, he struck a young man on the ankle with his sword and knocked him down.

Then he crossed the encirclement and attacked directly towards the tall green-skinned leader.

Wu Qianqian, who was trapped in the corner, was panicking and crying. Xiao Shitou stood in front of Wu Qianqian with his hands outstretched. He had a new wound on his face.

Suddenly, Su Rui rushed out with his servants. Probably because of the frequent fights, Xiao Shitou was the first to react. He knocked down Qingpi on the other side, pulled Wu Qianqian to break through the encirclement of Qingpi, and got into the crowd on the street.

Su Rui's sword pierced the green-skinned leader's back, causing him to stagger.

But Su Rui was kicked in the back by another young man who had reacted quickly. Fortunately, the servant followed behind and pushed the other young man away, otherwise he would have been knocked down and pinned down.

Su Rui endured the pain and used the Ape Fencing Technique. With a leap, he dodged the attack of another green-skinned man. While dodging, he struck him in the side with a sword, causing him to fold his back and wail.

Seeing the remaining three green-skinned people rushing towards him with their fists clenched, Su Rui first swept the wooden sword across to scare them back three steps, then activated the "Maori Golden Light Pupil" without hesitation, and then stabbed the green-skinned person closest to him on the right with his sword.

Qingpi dodged sideways, but Su Rui's second sword had already struck out, hitting the back of his hand, making him cover his hand and wail, crying in pain.

At this time, seeing that the danger was slightly relieved, Little Stone turned around and went back to entangle Qingpi.

Another young man was hit on the nose by a pebble and instantly lost his combat ability. It turned out to be a hidden weapon thrown by Wu Qianqian who broke through the encirclement.

However, Su Rui did not relax his vigilance, because the tall green-skinned leader had stood up.

Seeing that his men had been wiped out, the green-skinned leader was furious and gritted his teeth as he pulled out a dagger from his bosom.

"Boy, you are looking for death!"

After saying that, he stabbed Su Ruihe with the dagger.

Su Rui's pupils reflected his stabbing action and he tightened the peach wood sword in his hand.

In the "Maori Golden Eyes" he opened, the green-skinned leader's movements, which seemed fast to others, looked like slow motion in a movie to him.

Using the Maori Golden Light Eye in conjunction with the "Ape Fencing Technique" to deal with the young scoundrel is really cheating!

However, since the other party has already drawn his knife, Su Rui naturally dares not hold back.

UI!

Su Rui quickly raised his sword and struck the dagger-holding wrist of the leader, knocking the dagger out of his hand. Then he swung his sword horizontally and hit the back of his head, causing blood to flow from his nose and mouth, and he fell straight to the ground and fainted.

This must be a concussion! Su Rui thought to himself.

In the end, he still suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and changed his chopping to slapping. Otherwise, the Qingpi leader would not only have a concussion, but also a cold corpse.
