Inside the inn, Xu Huaigu and his party drank until the middle of the night, not knowing what the outside world was about, and the group lay in the lobby on the second floor and slept all night, and the next morning they were still called by the shopkeeper Tang one by one, and they woke up.

Xu Huaigu was a little annoyed by last night's presumptuousness, the atmosphere was really a little too hot, Zuo Qiu Xun took the lead and drank a lot, Xu Huaigu was embarrassed to push, and drank a lot, even Yu Qin drank several glasses, not to mention Huang Shan, who was a drunkard.

Huang Shan was already drunk and lying in a dirty corner, his face was covered with dust in the corners at this time, and the flush after being drunk was quite funny.

After eating the decanting tea specially made by the innkeeper Tang, everyone gathered together and began to discuss the next countermeasures.

The man continued to speak of his situation. It turned out that he had been living in Lucheng for several days, and at first he was anxious about the haunted thing, so he went to the official yamen several times, but the yamen had already suffered from the ghost thing, and did not dare to make any more moves, insisting on waiting until the monks sent by the county arrived before starting to hunt ghosts.

But the man was very anxious, he always felt that ghosts only kill people who go out at night, but do not harm others, and there must be something strange in between.

So he was still not at ease, afraid that if he couldn't wait for the day when the monk came, Lucheng would cause a big disaster.

But the government still didn't let go, and the man was just a little monk in a realm, and the yamen didn't take him seriously, and when he went to find the yamen in a few days, he couldn't even enter the door.

Most of the money he had accumulated was also consumed by that knife, so he was poor these days, and he couldn't even afford to eat the most famous venison in Lucheng, so he stayed in this inn because the shopkeeper Tang saw that he was dedicated to the people of Lucheng, so he let him live for free.

The man Kong Xiong had eaten breakfast, and after talking about these things sadly, he began to beg Xu Huaigu: "Those people in the government are afraid, I can't persuade them alone, Brother Xu, can you also go to the government with me and talk to them about this matter?" Xu Huaigu asked him rhetorically: "Then if I go, the government will let go?" The man was a little anxious: "Brother Xu, although you may not have cultivated, but your appearance is really good, and the sword box is also a real guy, and the people in the government will pay more or less attention to it." It's better to go with me, if you can say that the government will send troops to arrest that ghost thing as soon as possible, it will be a great thing for the people of Lucheng! Xu Huaigu hesitated, unsure whether to listen to the man's words.

The man's original intention is indeed excellent, but there is still too little thought. That ghost thing is obviously not low, if the government has a way to catch it as soon as possible, there is no need to report it to the county.

It is because I am afraid of more unnecessary deaths and injuries that I dare not act rashly. The man is just a realm of wild cultivation, and he doesn't have much help for the government to catch ghosts, so it's normal for the government not to agree.

Therefore, if you want the government to do it in advance, you must come up with conditions that make the government feel confident in catching ghosts.

For example, if Zuoqiu Xun is willing to make a move. Xu Huaigu was hesitating, and Zuoqiu Xunxinhu came over: "You go to help him, go to the government with him, and try to persuade the government to kill ghosts." I also sensed that something was not quite right, and last night when we were drinking, I sensed that there were ghosts walking outside, and her purpose was definitely not just to kill people outside. Besides, she probably expected that the monks would be sent down from above, so now that she has the initiative, everything is in her calculations, and if the government continues to wait, it is likely that disaster will happen. Xu Huaigu was puzzled: "Then if you make a move, wouldn't it be simpler?" ”

"I can't make a move at will now, it's likely that someone from the Tianhe Sect will be aware of it. And you are already a sword cultivator in the Three Realms, and your killing power is very high, so it is very likely that the government will shake its mind in this small place. Xu Huaigu thought for a moment and replied to Zuo Qiuxun: "Okay, I'll go with him once." Zuo Qiu Xun finally reminded: "But you must remember that you can only show part of your strength, and don't say that you are born with a sword fetus, otherwise you will be in great trouble!" Xu Huaigu replied: "Don't worry, I know how to measure." "On the way to Lucheng before, he had heard Zuoqiu Xun's statement about being born with a sword fetus.

The rarity of the innate sword fetus in the world is enough for a whole continent to fight for it, not only will there be righteous sects trying to win it over, but there will also be demon sects trying to hunt down and kill them, so before they have enough ability to protect themselves, they must not expose the matter of the sword fetus.

Xu Huaigu was surprised at first that he was born with a sword fetus, but after calming down, he accepted this fact, but he didn't dwell too much on this matter, how to live his life is still how to live, which can be regarded as a little tempering of Xu Huaigu's state of mind.

Seeing that Xu Huaigu didn't speak for a long time, the man was even more anxious: "Little Brother Xu, this is a great good thing related to the people of a city, don't worry about it." If you can really save people, you will also have morality on the road of cultivation in the future, and you will get twice the result with half the effort! Xu Huaigu looked embarrassed, but still agreed: "Okay, then I'll go to the government with you, but I can't guarantee that the government agrees." The man was overjoyed: "It's okay, it's good that you're willing to go, there's some hope after all!" Xu Huaigu glanced at the man, and said a little mockingly: "However, you have to wash away this smell on your body before you go to the official mansion, right?" No wonder people are reluctant to let you in, you can't stink everyone in the government to death when you go in like this? The man was stunned for a moment, sniffed his sleeves, then smiled awkwardly, and said embarrassedly: "Hahaha, this is indeed my inconsiderate thinking, I'll hurry up and sort it out now." Then he immediately got up and ran into the room, shouting anxiously: "I'm fast, Brother Xu, you must wait for me!" Xu Huaigu smiled, looked at the circle of people around him, and said a little helplessly: "This guy doesn't look young, how can he think like a child?" Zuo Qiu Xun said: "Is the child's mind bad? Aren't you tired of being a teenager like you, thinking about it? Looking ahead, timid, and having no youthful thoughts at all, is it okay? Xu Huaigu was silent, but Yu Qin, who hadn't spoken for a long time, opened her mouth: "Xu Huaigu, remember to be careful." Reading the book, Xu Huaigu looked at Yu Qin and smiled lightly, like a spring catkins falling into the heart lake, rippling layers of ripples.

Xu Huaigu said gently: "Got it." Zuo Qiu Xun inexplicably began to feel a little sad again, and Huang Shan also silently took a sip of wine to cover up his slight sadness.

…… Xu Huaigu and the man Kong Xiong walked on the streets of Lucheng, watching this small mountain city. Compared with the dead silence of the night, the deer city during the day is still the same as usual.

It seems that the ghosts only affect the night, and the day is still orderly, so the government is not so anxious to catch the ghosts.

From time to time, there are porters carrying rock sugar gourds walking the streets and alleys to sell, and there are also wonton shop merchants with wooden boxes on their shoulders.

Most of the rich people didn't shirk it, so they stopped, stood on the side of the street, ate a small bowl of ravioli, and rested for a while.

It is also the scenery of the city street, and the scenery of Xingqing and Lucheng is two different scenery. Xingqing is the beauty of the prosperity of the big city, and the beauty of the small city is simple and simple.

The simple folk customs of the mountain residents are also reflected in the hawkers on the streets.

Kong Xiong and Xu Huaigu walked side by side on the street, looking at the peaceful scene in the city, and sighed with emotion: "It's really beautiful." Xu Huaigu asked him, "That's why you're willing to come to Lucheng to kill ghosts?" Kong Xiong nodded and said, "Yes." I went all the way south from the north of the country of Yamato, and I didn't know where to go, so I walked casually, and I was supposed to have a long knowledge on the rivers and lakes. But since I saw the folk customs in these small towns, I felt that this is really beautiful, and I must not be hurt. I don't know what I'm thinking about, although the realm is really not enough, but as soon as I heard about the haunting, I was anxious, so I came to Lucheng, and I can do my part. Xu Huaigu was a little infected by him, and said: "Some people say that the rivers and lakes are pickled, and the flies are poor, but after seeing you, I feel that the rivers and lakes are still quite good." The man's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he was a little moved.

Xu Huaigu continued: "The rivers and lakes lack people like you the most. The man smiled, as if he was a little shy by Xu Huaigu's praise, and didn't speak again.

The town is not big, and the government is located in the middle of the streets of the town, so the two of them arrived quickly. The yamen was not big, about a little larger than the courtyard of ordinary people, and there were two officials at the door, holding two black wooden sticks, guarding the yamen of the official government.

When Kong Xiong saw the officer, he stepped forward with a smile on his face and said hello to the officer: "Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a few days, I see that you have a good complexion!" One of the fat-headed and big-eared officials looked over, and when he saw that it was Kong Xiong, his face immediately turned cold, and he said, "Why are you here again to catch ghosts?" Then you better go back quickly, the prefectural commander has already given an order, and before the monks sent by the county arrive, you must not act rashly, so you should die of this heart. Kong Xiong still smiled, pointed to Xu Huaigu beside him and said, "This time I didn't come alone, I came with this little brother Xu." He's a swordsman, and if we join forces, we'll be able to catch that ghost and give justice to the people of Lucheng. The official looked at Xu Huaigu suspiciously, and his face was still displeased: "Nonsense, the swordsman you are talking about, it looks like the son and brother of someone's family, how can he look like a person who practices martial arts?" I don't think it's reliable, you better go back, the county magistrate won't agree. Kong Xiong did not give up, and prayed: "Just for the last time, is it okay?" Please go to the county magistrate to report a message, I just need to meet the lord. The official surnamed Wang turned his head to the side and ignored Kong Xiong.

Kong Xiong still wanted to say something, but Xu Huaigu patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't ask anymore, I'll try." He stepped forward, took out a piece of silver from his cuff, and put it into the hand of the servant, and said, "It is not easy for me to come from a long distance, and this eldest brother should please make it easier." The official looked at the silver ingot in his hand in amazement, and his palms were sweaty.

Ten taels of silver, that is his difference in money for two months, I didn't expect this man to be so generous, which strengthened his idea that Xu Huaigu was a child of a rich family.

He thought nervously for a while, pushed the silver back with trembling hands, and patiently persuaded: "Alas, why bother, the county magistrate has already given an order, even if I go to report the letter, this matter will not be done." After hearing this, Xu Huaigu stopped being hypocritical, and took back the silver, but took off the sword box behind him.

With the click of the mechanism, he opened the sword box, and there was a long official surnamed Lama lying inside, and his mouth was so frightened that he couldn't close it after just one glance.

Although he is a layman, he also deals with weapons a lot, and you can see at a glance that these two swords are good.

He had seen the sword of the Three Realms martial artist in the yamen, although it was also extremely sharp, and it was said to be a spiritual weapon, but it was definitely not as powerful as either of the two swords.

The officer stammered, "This is ...... The magic weapon of the fairy family? Xu Huaigu smiled faintly, closed the sword box, and said, "Yes, then can you tell the county commander now, the sword cultivator of the Three Realms Xu Huaigu asks to see him?" "Sword cultivation?

Is it that rare and extremely lethal sword cultivator? The official surnamed Wang was taken aback, he had only seen the martial artist with the sword, and Jian Xiu had only heard of it, but he had never seen it.

He immediately resignedly said: "It turns out that I don't know the masters, I will go and inform the county magistrate immediately, Sword Immortal, you wait!" Xu Huaigu turned his head to look at the man Kong Xiong, but found that Kong Xiong also looked at him in surprise and couldn't say a word.

Xu Huaigu smiled slightly: "What do you see, it's not a girl's house, is it so good-looking?" The man was stunned and said, "It's good-looking, how is the sword fairy not good-looking." ”
