In the evening, Jiang Yi came to the door of Xu's mansion, was brought into the house by Fang Wuxian, who was waiting, and saw Xu Dahu, the chief catcher.

Xu Dahu is about forty years old, burly and strong, after seeing Jiang Yi, he heartily hugged his fists and said:

"Jiang Gongzi, I have heard it before that you are excellent in swordsmanship and unpredictable in martial arts, and you are a rare young man.

His voice was low and loud, and he obviously had a deep internal force cultivation in his body.

Jiang Yi said: "Mr. Xu has won the award. ”

Xu Dahu waved his hand and said magnificently:

"Jiang Gongzi doesn't have to be so outside, although I am in the public gate, I am also a person in the rivers and lakes like you. If you don't dislike it, you can call me Uncle Xu. ”

Jiang Yi nodded: "Okay." ”

Xu Dahu took another lead and said, "Okay, let's go into the house and talk while eating." ”

As he spoke, he took Jiang Yi into the living room.

A few plates of side dishes and a jug of wine were already on the table in the hall.

After the three of them sat down, Xu Dahu thanked Jiang Yi and said:

"The flower thief caused trouble in Jinling City, killing dozens of innocent lives, and I led my men to search day and night, but I have not been able to find his trace. This time, you can kill the flower thief and kill the demons, and you have also helped me a lot, I want to thank you. ”

As he spoke, he toasted a glass of wine.

Xu Dahu, as the head of the government, during this period of time, flower thieves were rampant, people in Jinling City were panicked, and the rumors were loud, so he was naturally under great pressure.

Jiang Yi had a drink with him and said:

"This kind of demon is punished by everyone, so Uncle Xu doesn't have to praise me."

After a few pleasantries, a woman in her forties came in with a tray to serve food, her eyebrows were lowered, her appearance was ordinary, and she looked no different from an ordinary maid.

However, Jiang Yi's divine mind could sense that this woman's body contained a strange aura, unlike a human being.

Unlike the fierce and cold demonic aura of the male fox demon, the breath in this woman's body is feminine but not cold, as pure and gentle as the moon.

Jiang Yi's thought flashed, and he reacted, this woman should be Gongsun Erniang, a white fox who absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon to pursue the immortal path.

In fact, she and Xu Dahu, the chief catcher, are from the same school, and they are both disciples of Baimei Daoren.

Many years ago, the Baimei Daoist passed the demon slaying sword to Xu Dahu, but Xu Dahu was not talented enough to practice the demon slaying sword technique, and he could not control the demon slaying sword and exert the true power of the divine sword.

The Baimei Daoist later ordered Gongsun Erniang to lurk in the Xu Mansion to guard the demon sword.

Jiang Yi thought of the white-eyed Daoist, and couldn't help but think. The other party only appeared as a background character in the original plot, but since he can have the demon sword and demon slashing sword in his hand, he passed it to Xu Dahu so that the sword can find the real owner - Xu Mu'e, it can be seen that Bai Mei already has the ability to calculate the future, and if you consider it comprehensively, the strength of this Bai Mei should be very high.

……

Jiang Yi did not immediately reveal the identity of Gongsun Erniang, but was ready to talk about it when the time was ripe. His heart moved, and he remembered something, so he asked:

"Uncle Xu, Su asked Xuanxin Authentic Sect to rule the world's Dao Sect, and there are many sword masters in the sect who take slaying demons and eliminating demons as their own responsibility, why are the fox demons in Jinling City troubled, you didn't ask Xuanxin Authentic Sect people to investigate."

Xu Dahu shook his head and said:

"Previously, after discovering that the bodies of those murdered girls were different, I also sent someone to invite people from Xuanxin Zhengzong to come and see it, but then those two disciples of Xuanxin Zhengzong somehow found the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, and they had a great unpleasant quarrel with Hou Ye, so in the end, they had to stop it."

Jiang Yi suddenly, he remembered that in the original plot, the fox demon set up his lair in the Jingyuan Hou Mansion, although the Xuanxin Authentic Sect was powerful, but the status of ordinary disciples in the sect was probably far from being comparable to Hou Ye.

After Xu Dahu drank a few glasses, he said with emotion:

"I also had adventures when I was a teenager, visited famous teachers, obtained the true transmission of martial arts, and after going down the mountain, I have always hoped to be able to kill demons and promote the righteous path with what I have learned, but I have been wandering in the public gate all these years, and I have not been able to realize this wish, I can only catch some people who are small and stealing chickens and dogs, I am really ashamed."

Jiang Yi looked at his gloomy appearance and couldn't help but feel relieved:

"Uncle Xu, you protect the people, why don't you promote the right path, as long as my generation acts with a clear conscience, you don't have to be obsessed with slaying demons or something."

Fang Wuxian also persuaded and said:

"Yes, always catch heads, Brother Jiang is right. Over the years, you have been in the position of the chief catcher, and you have always been upright and impartial in enforcing the law, and the people of Jinling are grateful for your kindness. ”

"Even so, it is inevitable that I still feel ashamed of my master's teachings."

Xu Dahu sighed and said quietly.

After drinking a few more glasses like this, Xu Dahu slowly calmed down, and then began to ask Jiang Yi about his origin and purpose of going to Jinling City.

Jiang Yi played Tai Chi with Xu Dahu quietly on his face, but he laughed secretly in his heart, only then did he understand that Xu Dahu invited him to the banquet today for another purpose, that is, to find out his details, understand his character, and prevent it from happening.

Of course, Xu Dahu did this for a reason. After all, a master of Jiang Yi's level is an extremely dangerous character, and he will not be much slower than a monster to kill people.

Xu Dahu, as the chief catcher, has responsibilities in his body, and he will inevitably be a little vigilant and vigilant in his heart.

After the two sides chatted for a long time, Xu Dahu saw that Jiang Yi had always behaved politely and politely, with a gentle personality, not like a person who was radical and murderous, and his heart relaxed a little.

After the meal, Xu Dahu took the dozens of taels of silver offered by the government and handed it to Jiang Yi, who then said goodbye and left, and returned to his newly bought courtyard.

……

At night, in the faint moonlight.

Jiang Yi sat in the courtyard, holding the dark green fox demon Yuan Dan, and looked at it carefully. Shen Nian scanned back and forth in the Yuan Dan, probing the structure and aura inside.

He could keenly sense that there was a powerful and violent energy contained in this small demon pill, like a ball of gunpowder, which only needed a little spark to completely detonate and burst out with terrifying power.

This demon pill is the energy essence condensed by the fox demon's penance for five hundred years, it is the treasure of the fox demon's life, and it is also the last life-saving hole card.

It's a pity that the fox demon didn't have time to cast the demon pill the day before yesterday, and was easily killed by Jiang Yi.

From the previous short fight, Jiang Yi also saw that although the fox demon had cultivated for a long time of five hundred years, his strength was not strong, and it was probably about the same as a martial artist in the early stage of innocence.

Of course, this does not mean that the strength of the five hundred years Dao monsters and the innate martial artists is the same, the two sides are not a system, and they cannot be simply equated.

After all, monsters generally write demon methods and demon arts, and in comparison, the methods of martial artists are simpler.

Jiang Yi pondered for a while, and then put away the demon pill again. This thing is more or less a treasure, and it can be used as a high-quality material for refining weapons and alchemy in the future.

……

Early the next morning, Xu Mu'e came to Jiang Yi with a long sword and prepared to learn the sword.

However, after meeting, she did not immediately mention the matter of learning swords, but talked about another thing:

"Brother Jiang, when I came to your house, I saw notices posted everywhere in the city, announcing that the flower thieves had been ambushed, and it should be done by the government to stabilize the people and appease people's hearts. Along the way, I've heard everyone talk about who killed the flower thief, and I want to thank you as a great hero. Do you want me to promote it for you? ”

Jiang Yi just waved his hand:

"No, I'm just doing it, I don't have to publicize it."

Xu Mu'e thought about it and nodded her chin in agreement:

"That's right, the real heroes act in the depths of their lives and fame."

Xu Mu'e remembered the purpose of coming here today, so she didn't mention the matter of the flower thief anymore, but looked at Jiang Yi expectantly and asked:

"Brother Jiang, I don't know what swordsmanship you are going to pass on to me?"
