Cui Lao took Li Changrong to a mountain peak, and Li Changrong opened the mountain with a sword.

Cui Lao laughed and went back to his house to resume his life, while Li Changrong went alone to inquire about the news about Xue Yanyue, the second lady of the Xue family.

……

In front of a small building on the side of the street with three large plaques of "Demon Slaying Society", a young man in a green robe appeared.

"Stop!" The two janitors at the door spoke at the same time.

They were casually dressed and did not stand neatly, not like special janitors.

In other words, the requirements of this Demon Slayer for the guards are not the same as those of other powerful mansions.

Li Changrong took out a quaint stone token from his arms, on which was engraved a peculiarly shaped character "Xuan".

"Xuan-level demon slayer!"

Seeing this token, the two janitors both shrank their pupils, and their hearts were shocked, of course, they didn't stay in the shock for long, and quickly walked out, changed into a respectful look, and said in unison: "My lord!" ”

Li Changrong nodded, and used his physical strength and spiritual power to connect with the token, making the token shine dazzlingly.

Immediately, the jade plaques on the waists of the two janitors also bloomed with a lot of light.

Li Changrong disconnected his spiritual power from the token, and the light on the token quickly dissipated, and the light on the jade plate on the waists of the two janitors gradually dimmed.

"I need to go through the case files of the Xue Mansion a year ago, as well as the case files of Yongren Village outside the city in the past few days." Li Changrong said.

The matter of the Xue Mansion is something that the young master wants to investigate.

Yongren Village is Li Changrong's own private matter.

The old man he met earlier lived in Yongren Village.

His actions just now were to prove his identity, which was a precautionary measure taken by the high-level leaders of the Demon Slayer Society to prevent outsiders from obtaining the tokens of a certain member, which would lead to their own consequences.

Each member's token contains a unique magic circle, which can play many wonderful effects, but only he can urge it.

"Yes, please come with me, sir." One of the janitors said.

With the confirmation of the previous jade plate, they naturally believed in Li Changrong's identity, and the Xuan-level demon slayer had the right to read most of the case files.

And if the other party can fake this, then there is nothing they can do.

Just waiting to die.

One of the janitors took Li Changrong into the house, the room didn't look very big, about the same as a small inn, there was a man with a scarf on his head and a feather fan in his right hand at the counter, and he looked like he was in his early thirties with his chin in his left hand quietly reading a book that he didn't know what was written.

If a traverser sees this scene, he will have to say, are you imitating Mr. Kong Ming?

When the man saw someone coming, he hurriedly raised his head, closed the book, and showed a smile at Li Changrong.

Li Changrong responded with a smile.

The gatekeeper introduced: "Gongji, this is an adult with a Xuan-level token, I want to check the relevant case files of the Xue Mansion a year ago, as well as the case files of Yongren Village in the past few days, please take it for this adult." ”

Gongji nodded and said to Li Changrong, "Okay, then you can come with me." ”

The janitor called Gongji by his name because he was familiar with it, and their identity in the Demon Slayer Society was not much worse, and Gongji just called Li Changrong "you", not because of how strong he was, but because he was too lazy to call "adult".

It's not my direct boss, what are you calling an adult?

When the city lord of Nanhua City comes, I won't shout the city lord.

Gongji led Li Changrong down the stairs to the second floor, where several rows of bookshelves were neatly arranged, and there were scattered case files on the shelves.

"It's an errand to kill demons in Nanhua City, but it's leisurely." Li Changrong couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

He had been to the Demon Slayer Society in another city before, which was much smaller than Nanhua City, but the bookshelves and case files in the Demon Slayer Society were dense.

Gongji smiled, and with his memory, he found the bookshelf where the Xue Mansion's case files were stored, took out a case file casually, handed it to Li Changrong and said, "Here, the Xue Mansion case file you are looking for." ”

Li Changrong took the case file, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.

The Demon Slayer Society only records cases related to youkai, and ordinary entanglements, even some major events, will not be recorded as long as they are determined to have nothing to do with youkai.

Since it is related to monsters, the dossier on the side of the Demon Slayer Society will be more comprehensive and true than the dossier on the side of the vast majority of forces!

Because in this regard, the demon slayer will be professional.

Gongji walked to another bookshelf on his own, tiptoed to get the top bag of case files, and at the same time replied to Li Changrong's previous emotion, saying: "Leisure is really idle, and boredom is really boring." ”

Nanhua City, how can there be any monsters?

For those monsters, being in Nanhua City is equivalent to ordinary people being exposed to the scorching sun, and it won't take long for them to faint and die.

The only difference is that after ordinary people die like this, there is still a whole corpse, what about monsters? Ashes.

This also makes many people dare to assert that there must be a big secret in Nanhua City! Big treasure!

This is naturally related to the people of Nanhua Dao, but few people know how to deal with the law.

Therefore, the demon extermination meeting in Nanhua City is nothing but a virtual thing, except for occasionally catching a few monsters who have just entered the city and immediately cause trouble, they basically have nothing to do, and they pass the time.

Occasionally, I encounter one or two ignorant monsters, and I have to worry that I will be late, and I can't see a single hair.

So it's obviously nothing, and there will be two janitors at the door.

Why? You can also see the pedestrians coming and going at the door.

If you're lucky enough to see something good-looking, wouldn't you have to be in a good mood for a while? It's much better than staying in the house.

This is one of the reasons why Nanhua City can be extremely prosperous.

After all, for people in many places, it is a very lucky thing to be able to live in a place where there are almost no yokai.

"Here's another file you want." Gongji handed the case file he had just obtained to Li Changrong and said.

Li Changrong nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

Gongji pointed to an inconspicuous table next to the door and said, "Go to the table over there." ”

Li Changrong did not refuse, he came to the table, sat down, and took the lead in opening the case file of the Xue Mansion.

After all, it is the matter that the young master has explained, and it still has to take precedence over his own private affairs.

Quickly spread out the dossier, Li Changrong read it carefully.

"In the year of the Great Qi Calendar, at noon on August 11, the Xue family's caravan and Xuande Town, two hundred miles outside the city, were attacked by wolf demons, and one person fled back, named Shao Wen."

A month after Shao Wen fled back, the Xue Mansion began to secretly adopt street children, and every seven days in the future, the caravan would take five children out of the city, and when they returned to the city, they did not see these children, at first the soldiers at the city gate were not suspicious, a month later, the Xue family caravan took five children out of the city for the fourth time, and the children were not brought back, the soldiers were suspicious, and the Xue family caravan was detained, and the strict investigation was carried out, and finally found that a total of twenty children were placed in different cities, and with a good life, the soldiers at the city gate no longer doubted it, And in the city, he praised the Xue family for his good deeds. ”

"In the year of three thousand five hundred and thirteen years of the Great Qi calendar, on the first day of September, the demon exterminator Liu Cang passed by Xuande Town, coinciding with the wolf demon rebellion, Liu Cang pacified the wolf demon rebellion, let the lone wolf follow, looking for its lair, after a big battle, completely destroyed the wolf demon lair, and rescued three children in it, after some inquiry, only to know that the three were from Nanhua City, followed the Xue family caravan out of the city and then were sold to the wolf demon."

"Liu Cang handed over the three children to us, told the details and left."

"We will report this matter to the City Lord's Mansion, and work with the City Lord's Mansion to thoroughly investigate the matter, and finally determine that the three children all went out of the city with the Xue family's caravan. And in the wreckage of the wolf demon's lair, more than 100 incomplete children's dry bones were found, all of which were sent out of the city by the Xue family and given to the wolf demon. ”

Seeing this, Li Changrong slammed his palm on the table, making the table almost bounce.

"The Xue family should be damned!"

His face was full of indignation, and he couldn't hide the anger in his heart at all.

Gongji, who was on the side, was taken aback, but soon snorted coldly: "The Xue family really deserves to die." ”

Li Changrong exhaled deeply and continued to look down.

"In the 3,513th year of the Great Qi calendar, on September 2, the gates of Nanhua City forbade any personnel from the Xue Mansion to leave the city. On September 15, after ascertaining all the evidence, the city lord's mansion took the lead and raided the Xue mansion. Xue Renyi and Shao Wen, the heads of the Xue family, knelt down in front of the evidence of the crime, wept bitterly and regretted. On September 20, the two were beheaded, and their bones were buried at the site of the wolf demon's lair. ”

This is the end of the case.

Li Changrong put down the case file, closed his eyes and began to calm his breathing and mood.

If the Xue family hadn't already received the punishment they deserved, then he probably wouldn't have sat here to calm down.

Draw the sword.

Seeing this, Gongji didn't bother, but he still looked at Li Changrong on the side.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he should have been cultivating for nearly ten years, and he was a Xuan-level demon slayer.

Jealousy is like hatred.

Yes, excellent.

It's a pity that my daughter is still young and somewhat inappropriate.

I have a niece of the right age, but unfortunately she already has a place to belong.

Alas, the lad is not blessed.

After a few breaths, Li Changrong opened his eyes and asked, "Do you know about Xue Yanyue, the second lady of the Xue family?" ”

Gongji shook his head and said, "Then I have to ask our boss, I only know about the things in the case file." But our boss is a hands-off shopkeeper and isn't here all year round, but if you have something important, I can help you get in touch with him. ”

Li Changrong shook his head and said with a smile: "That's still not necessary." Enough of these. ”

Xue Yanyue was not recorded in the case file of the Demon Slaying Society, which shows that Xue Yanyue was not involved in monsters.

Since there are no monsters involved, there is no need to trouble the leader of the Nanhua City Demon Extermination Association.

Gongji snorted and asked, "Have you finished reading it?" I'll put it away after reading it. ”

Li Changrong smiled and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

The corners of Gongji's mouth curled, he reached out and picked up the Xue family's case file, rolled it up, tied it up, got up and put it back in its place.

At the same time, Li Changrong spread out another case file in front of him.

"In the 3,514th year of the Great Qi calendar, on September 28, at Liu Youtian's house in Yongren Village, outside the city, a rat demon sneaked in, the purpose was unknown, and it was killed by Liu Youtian's son Liu Zhengye's magic circle."

The case file is fairly concise.

"Liu Zhengye." Li Changrong thought silently in his heart.

When he arrived at Uncle Liu's house earlier, he noticed something unusual, there was a hidden magic circle to protect Uncle Liu's house, which could protect it from demons and evils, and at the same time allow people who live in it all year round to prolong their lives.

This kind of formation is relatively costly, it can be seen that Liu Zhengye still cares about his father, but why hasn't he come back to see his father?

With doubts, Li Changrong asked Gongji, who had already put the Xue Mansion case file and walked over, "Do you know Liu Zhengye?" ”

Gongji sat down and said, "I know, Liu Tiancai, he was very famous in our small circle back then, but you haven't heard of it?" Also, you shouldn't be a native of South China City. Otherwise, a Xuan-level demon slayer, I can't have seen you before, but your accent is quite similar to the locals here. ”

Li Changrong smiled and didn't explain anything, he was inconspicuous in Nanhua City before, and he didn't have much ability.

"Can you tell us more about him?" Li Changrong asked.

Gongji nodded, moved, and said casually, "No problem." ”

"Seven years ago, Liu Zhengye stepped into the threshold of cultivation, and two years later, he successfully broke through to the quenching realm, which shocked the qi practice circle in Nanhua City, and later he was taken away by an ancient sect."

The first six realms of Qi practice are: Qi Fu, Qi Training, Quenching Body, Longmen, Jindan, and Yuanying.

It took two years to cultivate to the quenching body, that is, the third realm, which is indeed a very genius.

"This is a bit different from what the old man told me." Li Changrong thought in his heart: "But most of the time Liu Zhengye didn't tell the old man the truth, the reason why he has a lot of strength is because he has stepped into the threshold of cultivation, and later the cultivation in the old man's mouth is actually Liu Zhengye has been selected by a certain sect and taken away." ”

After all, there are no dangers in cultivation, and many qi practitioners die every day for various reasons, so Liu Zhengye didn't tell his father at the beginning.

"What sect?" Li Changrong asked.

"Wufu Mountain." Gongji replied.

Li Changrong silently wrote down the name.

Then he was a little puzzled and said, "I've gone to see that formation, it's not something that can be arranged during the quenching period." ”

The Nine Realms of Qi Training, the Quenching Body Realm and the Longmen Realm are the big thresholds, and although the Qi practitioners of the Quenching Body Realm are much more than ordinary people, they can still only be regarded as mortals in the flesh.

And from the beginning of the Dragon Gate Realm, the Qi Practitioner can be regarded as getting out of the mortal womb of the flesh, and the fish enters the Dragon Gate, with all kinds of miracles and wonders.

"Maybe he had a special chance?" Gongji guessed.

Li Changrong nodded and said, "There is indeed such a possibility." ”

"Or did he come back and set up something after setting foot in the Dragon Gate Realm? Or maybe it's asking the sect for help? Gongji mobilized his thoughts.

Li Changrong smiled helplessly, guessing out of thin air that there are always countless possibilities, so let's leave this matter to Liu Zhengye in the future to ask for clarification.

That day, he sat next to the old man and could clearly feel the sadness of the other party.

He wanted to help the other person.

Even if it's just a meeting in the water.
