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 with a radius of ten acres 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 figure in golden armor was writing at his desk.
In the corridor of the main hall, there were two teams of ghost officials with sinister auras, 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. Apart from 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-tailed pheasant crown on his head. He had a green face and fangs, and a golden divine pattern on each side of his face.
After the divine figure at the desk put down his jade pen, Judge Wu, who was sitting below him, bowed deeply and reported, "Sir, the soldiers sent to the Jixi area have returned. The case of the Chen family's young woman's resurrection has been thoroughly investigated, and the Jixi Town God of the Land has also been brought in! This case involves incidents in the mountains, and it is a serious matter. Please make a decision, sir!"
"What's going on in the mountains?" The divine figure looked up. He was about forty years old, with a gaunt appearance. Without the four divine lines on his face, he would have been an elegant general. This divine figure was the City God who governed Tongqu County.
"It's just that there's 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 what's going on!" The City God frowned.
"Yes!" Judge Wu bowed his head and accepted the order.
"The gods who wander around day and night each lead a battalion of soldiers to set up checkpoints at the boundary roads to intercept all the demons and ghosts who 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.
"Understood!"
The two ghosts and gods standing behind Judge Wu stepped out and bowed in response.
As soon as this order was issued, the atmosphere in the City God Temple suddenly became solemn and murderous!
The next day at the hour of Mao.
Su Rui struggled to sit up from the bed, rubbed his sleeping face fiercely, and then jumped out of the bed. Last night, he played chicken with the little fox demon and fell asleep at around midnight, resulting in severe sleep deprivation.
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 Techniques" with all his energy.
Yesterday, he spent three or four hours practicing sword techniques. Aside from a few difficult body movements, he was able to perform the other sword moves. However, to be able to use them smoothly, he expected to spend a lot more time practicing.
After practicing for half an hour, as the sky gradually brightened, he put away his sword, took a few breaths, and climbed onto the roof, waiting for the sun to rise, ready to draw in the sun's essence at the hour of Mao and practice the "Golden Light Pupil of Mao Sun"...
At noon, Su Rui stopped practicing. After today's practice, the golden spots in the depths of his pupils had grown slightly larger.
At this rate, after practicing for another ten or eight days, he would be able to transform both 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 demons causing 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 everything else and said he knew nothing.
Although Su Rui was curious about her origins and other aspects of the existing monsters, he had no intention of forcing her to speak. It was rare to meet someone with such a sense of confidentiality, and Su Rui felt that they should be respected, whether they were human or monster.
After greeting Madam Su, he carried his wooden sword on his back, put a blowpipe on his waist, and left the county government office accompanied by his servants.
The sun is shining outside and the autumn breeze is warm.
This made Su Rui feel refreshed and in high spirits. 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. On weekdays, many fishermen and children fish here.
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 on the river bank.
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 wild charm.
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 also loved fishing when he had nothing better to do, but he had no plans to go fishing today. After touring the restaurant, he and his servants entered the restaurant through the side door.
The restaurant was even more lively. The waiter who greeted the 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 livestock thefts in the city recently. It's happening all over the city. Every household has lost livestock..."
"Just last night, I heard a child was stolen. I wonder if there's any connection to the livestock thieves?"
"A demon appeared on the southern Fujian Road, transforming the Yue people into zombie soldiers. The imperial court's 10,000-man army suffered heavy casualties. The emperor was furious and planned to send an additional 30,000 troops, determined to flatten southern Fujian..."
