Chapter 77: The taboo buried in the files, the Black Mountain guard from decades ago was called Song Chai Xin!
Soon, Heishan Yasi.

Ji Xia strode in with her head held high.

Now, he has the 'Demon Hunting Spirit Body' and the 'Authentic Boxing Technique'. With his martial arts skills expanded and his former status,
Although I can still handle this mere errand with ease, I will not waste my time here.

After all, he was once the 'Black Mountain Guard'.

Even though it happened decades ago, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Long before arriving at the yamen, Ji Xia had thought about what to do next.

Resources, went to the Black Mountains to hunt, this was the road he had opened up for himself, but he didn't expect that the predecessors would plant trees and plant them on his own head;
As for the magic and techniques, according to the relationship of that year, we can follow the map to see if we can obtain them in the 'Yunluan Martial Arts School' in Black Mountain City, or in the 'Garden House', 'Demon Hunting Bureau' and other places.

Even if Ruan Xiuxiu is no longer the head of the eighth-rank Demon Hunting Division, the Yunluan Martial Arts School is still there, right?

no more,
Chen Zhao, the now famous old town guard whose half body is about to be buried, is still there.

He was the one who promoted this.

And before, when he was a policeman, there was a little girl named 'Xie Wutong' who supported him.

If he guessed correctly, the little girl should be one of his 'granddaughters'.

As expected, it was the Xie family in Wutong Mansion.

If Ji Xia successfully found any clues about the name 'Song Chai Xin'.

Then it can be proved through the Book of Reincarnation that he indeed existed in the past.

Since it exists, the interpersonal relationships that have been established will naturally continue.

Although the 'first page' of the Book of Reincarnation has not yet come to an end.

But with the memories before going to 'Yunluan Mountain', Ji Xia has countless ways to prove his authenticity.

In this world, your resources and background determine the difficulty of your martial arts training.

Since you can lean against a big tree and enjoy the shade.

Who is willing to choose to tread on thin ice and live in fear?
This era is separated from the days when he dominated Black Mountain with his fists by many years.

Judging from the geniuses of the people he had met, such as Song Fanjing and Ruan Xiuxiu, even if they encountered a bottleneck in their subsequent practice, at the very least they would reach the end of the third step.

A little bit of something leaked out from the gap between the fingers
It's enough for him to squander now.

"But speaking of Xie Wutong."

"She must have seen the famous boxing technique 'Meteor Chasing the Moon' that I was performing at the time, and got a clue from it."

"After all, if I remember correctly, this fist technique was used by the Xie family during the ancestor worship ceremony. I left a fist mark on the stone tablet to prove that I, Song Chai Xin, had been here before."

"As a direct descendant of the Xie family, it is impossible for her not to know him."

"I don't know how my grandfather is doing now. Logically speaking, as a Yuan Dan Realm master, even after more than fifty years, he should not have completely died."

Although he seemed to be chatting and laughing with the officers, Ji Xia was thinking secretly in his heart while he was on duty.

He did not feel anything unusual, but the officers Zheng Fan, Zhong Xu and others whom he had made friends with before,

However, he felt that the smiling young officer in front of him was like a sleeping tiger. Even without leaking a single breath, the feeling of being in a high position for a long time gave people a different feeling.

Especially Zhong Xu.

Originally, he was not afraid of Ji Xia. Although he tried to please her, they were in the same position after all, and he just wanted to give face to Chen Zhenwu, the head of the Ninth Rank Department.

But if I hadn't seen you for a day, I would have reached the peak of 'Mercury Blood and Silver Marrow'.
When facing Ji Xia, even if she just glanced at me casually, I felt hesitant and fearful. It was so strange!
Zhong Xu hesitated:

"Ji Xia, the steward of the Wei Mansion came to me to discuss an apology. Do you think you can find some time to ask them to set up a table of wine and come to apologize?"

"This Wei Mansion is a very wealthy family. You are just starting to practice martial arts and you are in need of resources."

"The salary of the police officer, plus the little money that the people in the Ten Mile Bluestone Lane make, is not enough to cover your expenses. Even if your brother Ji Han works in the inner city martial arts hall, I estimate that in a month or two, I won't be able to support him."

"That kid Wei Bao is a scoundrel, and his crime is not serious. He won't be in prison for many days. It's better to sell him for some benefits. After all, his father has been with the head of the Wei family for decades, serving him at his beck and call. He has some face."

"In my opinion, how about exposing this matter if it can be exposed?"

At the end of the first act, Ji Xia helped the family of Carpenter Zhang and beat up the son of the manager of the wealthy Wei Mansion in the outer city. He detained him directly in the government office and "entertained" him for several days.

The Wei Mansion is located within the first ring of the outer city. It has a connection with an "inner city" and runs a private salt business in the outer city. It is extremely wealthy and has a huge fortune.

Zhong Xu was in charge of the Wei Mansion's jurisdiction and was on duty on that street, so they had some overlap. Last time, he allowed Ji Xia to detain the person, which was already giving Ji Xia face.

After taking care of Wei Bao privately for a few days, Zhong Xu thought about Ji Xia's "three big things a new official does upon taking office", and it was time for him to calm down. After all, the Wei Mansion also had some influence in the outer city, and his son was a true disciple of the martial arts school in the inner city, so he had hope of becoming a "great innate" in the future.

Even though Ji Xia was highly regarded by Chen Zhenwu and they were on close terms.

But the police officers are just "officials" after all, and the blacksmith must be strong enough himself.

It's good enough if they can both take a step back and save face. Ji Xia is also a smart man, there is no reason for him not to figure it out.

Zhong Xu had a good idea.

if we assume,
If it was Jixia half a month ago, maybe he would have agreed.

But how can a tiger care about the ants it tramples under its feet?

As the former Black Mountain garrison, now decades later, all the rules and regulations are a continuation of the system set by Ji Xia at that time.

The outer city was built by myself.

Look at the muddy soil, tiled walls, stinking ditches everywhere, and the place was in a state of disrepair.
Although it cannot be said to be very good now, but after he paved the way decades ago, it has completely changed its appearance.

How could the wealthy businessmen from other cities back then have the respect they have today?
He made his fortune by relying on his rules, but the servants in his family ended up falling into his hands.

A small-time mansion-born child, the son of a steward.

They dare to punch, draw knives and shout at him at will. If we don't give them a warning, won't they become even more aggressive?

He is a minister.
But in this Black Mountain City, Ji Xia feels that there are some rules that are more important than the sky!
In the distance, Chen Zhenwu walked towards us majestically with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Ji Xia said to Zhong Xu:
"Brother Zheng, rules are rules. I handled the case impartially and have a clear conscience."

"Whether it was half a month ago or half a month later, I would give the same answer."

"That rascal broke into someone's house, acted arrogantly, was tempted by a woman, and provoked the officer. A one-year sentence is not too severe."

"In my opinion, it is just the right way to temper him and reduce his arrogance. Otherwise, relying on the power of the Wei Mansion, if he is released like this, wouldn't it only encourage his arrogance?"

"If they continue to run rampant and bully the people in the village, and even collude with the officials, won't the entire Black Mountain City return to the state of chaos and disorder that it was decades ago?"

These words made Zhong Xu speechless. His face turned red for a long time and he was about to say something.
But it just happened.

When Chen Zhenwu saw Ji Xia, he actually called him over. How could he dare to say a word when the chief was asking him questions?
He could only watch Ji Xia walk away in a swagger. At the end, he muttered a few words to his colleague Zheng Fan who was on duty before him:

"Why is it that Ji Xia seems like a different person after not seeing him for just one day?"

"Has he had such a smooth life in the past half month that he thought he could do whatever he wanted as a mere official?"

"If it weren't for the fact that the chief minister favored him, and his surname was 'Chen', the omnipotent 'Chen' of Black Mountain, and the demon-hunting patrolman from the Xie family from Wutong Mansion, he would have looked at him differently."

"Let alone the Wei Mansion, several squad leaders probably regard him as a thorn in their side."

"Decades ago?"

"There is no history of Black Mountain decades ago. Even if there is, I am afraid only the town guard knows it. I am just a policeman in Qingshi Alley, who has only been working for less than half a month. I have more experience than him."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zheng Fan frowning, looking at Ji Xia's back, and said:

"Okay, you've got that."

“Didn’t you notice?”

"Is his martial arts skill slightly better than yours?"

Zhong Xu couldn't help but laugh:

"What are you kidding? He has only been an official for half a month, and he has become a golden-skinned and jade-veined person through a medicinal bath. This is already extremely amazing. How can he be better than me and put on the 'Water and Fire Fairy Clothes' to achieve body training? Do you think he took some elixir in the summer?"

Zheng Fan frowned and shook his head:
"The other day, I had just entered the 'Water and Fire Fairy Clothes' and was preparing to compete for the position of squad leader. I had also tried to draw Qi into my body and refine my skin. I could not be mistaken about the wisps of Qi entwined around him."

Hearing that his long-time colleague Zheng Fan had completed his Water and Fire Immortal Clothes, Zhong Xu was startled and his face became a little serious. Just as he was about to congratulate him, he heard his extremely serious words. He immediately rubbed his eyes, a little bit unbelieving:
"Are you kidding? You said that Ji Xia has the ability to gather Qi through the heavens?"

"How can this be!"

"If this is true, he was tricked by Jiang Zhou and almost had his leg broken, or even lost his position as a police officer?"

“This is illogical!”

"Or did he only take half a month to cross the Wuguan foundation building stage and reach the end of the Zhoutian Qi gathering?"

"Even if it's the authentic teachings of those who use precious pills and precious medicines, I'm afraid it will take at least a year or two to do it!"

Zheng Fan also frowned, as if thinking. After a long while, an idea suddenly occurred to him. He hissed and looked solemn:

“No, there is another possibility.”

"Ji Xia, I have the qualifications."

"Some people are not born with obvious talent, but as they enter the martial arts gate and begin to practice martial arts, the 'qi' between heaven and earth will be spontaneously attracted to them, and this is the 'spiritual body'."

"If I'm right."

"Ji Xia, it should be the awakening of the spiritual body."

"If that's the case,"

"Not to mention Wei Bao, some important figures in the inner city will probably be alarmed as well."

"'Saint, King, Xuan, Spirit' ah, Xuan level can make a name for oneself in the whole state, and Ling level can dominate the whole prefecture. If one does not perish in the future, the Great Innate will surely be achieved, and Yuan Dan can be expected!"

"in my opinion."

"You'd better get the Wei family to give in as soon as possible. Don't ruin your future that you have been working hard for for many years just because of a pair of slaves and their sons who are in charge!"

Heishan Yamen, in the side hall.

Chen Zhenwu looked puzzled:
"What are you"

"Has your spirit body awakened?"

He looked at the blue-clothed officer in front of him. He had a young face, but he could make the invisible energy between heaven and earth swirl around his body. He almost doubted his life.

Today, he was on duty. He had a lot on his mind and just wanted to go through the routine work, so he went to the garrison to see the "stabilizing force" who was almost in the grave.

However, as a great innate master with an impermeable Vajra body, Chen Zhenwu holds the ninth rank and is extremely sensitive to "qi".

Among the vast sea of ​​people, at least thirty or fifty officers
He had previously looked at him differently, thinking that he had some relationship with Wutong's 'Xie Mansion', so he wanted to show his goodwill to the boy in order to gain no benefit.

Surprisingly, just like the moon emitting a bright glow in the dark night, just standing there, the energy that gathered unconsciously was able to be compared with him, and stopped him in his tracks when he was about to leave.

One look, just one look.

Let Chen Zhenwu be sure.

This kid has awakened his 'spiritual body'!
Because no matter what qualifications one has, the most basic characteristic is "spiritual body".

These people will be like the darlings of heaven and earth, and those who are above the Great Innate Level will be able to see the clues at a glance.

"What is a spiritual body?"

Ji Xia pretended not to know and was a little curious.

"However, in the past few days, I do feel that the speed of my physical training has improved by leaps and bounds. Even without the assistance of medicinal herbs and elixirs, I have reached the level of mercury blood and silver marrow, far exceeding the progress of others. I don't know why."

But then, Ji Xia scratched his head and spoke again as if unintentionally.

This immediately reminded Chen Zhenwu of Ji Xia's background, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"You come with me."

After that, he took Ji Xia to the files displayed in the yamen and showed him the secret scroll that recorded his "qualifications".

“The aptitudes in this world are divided into four levels: Saint, King, Mysterious, and Spiritual. Even the lowest of the lowest can cultivate twice as fast as an ordinary person.”

"It takes others thirty years to complete the training, but you can do it in fifteen years. If you have the help of great pills and medicinal herbs, it will be even faster."

"You have no elixir or medicine, yet you have reached the level of mercury blood and silver marrow. It seems that you are more than just an ordinary spirit body. Have you awakened any accompanying magical power?"

There are all kinds of strange spirits in this world, and only the owner knows how magical they are, and others can hardly figure it out.

Therefore,
The first thing to do when Ji Xia returns.

It is to expose one's 'spiritual body' and demonstrate one's value.

then
Then plan what will happen next.

Now, it seems that the first step has been accomplished.

"Master Si Shou, after possessing a 'spiritual body', to what extent can one generally cultivate, or what official position can one achieve, and what kind of status can one have in the martial arts world?"

Ji Xia took the file and looked through it, then suddenly spoke.

"Let's put it this way,"

"If you have a spiritual body, you will become a great innate!"

"In the future, at the very least, you will be the eighth-rank Demon Hunting Division Master, a famous sect elder, which is your lower limit. As for your upper limit."

"It depends on you."

"Just call me Brother Chen. In this Black Mountain City, with me, Chen Zhenwu, here, no one can touch you. Why should you be so restrained?"

When Chen Zhenwu heard Ji Xia's question, he laughed and put his arm around her shoulders, which made Ji Xia feel unhappy.

big brother?

I'm afraid I'm older than your father.

But he would not say that, instead he continued to ask casually:
"Brother Chen, how many spirit bodies have there been in Black Mountain City over the past few decades?"

When talking about this, Chen Zhenwu counted on his fingers:
"I am forty-seven years old this year. In the decades that I can remember, there have been several qualified people in Black Mountain, but now there is no one who has achieved less than the Great Innate Achievement."

"And the most famous among them"

"He is from the 'Taoist' Yunluan Mountain, a man called 'Ruan Jianxian', a very famous figure who once served as the head of the Eighth-Rank Demon Hunting Division of Black Mountain City."

"Of course, his aptitude is not at the spiritual level, but in order to let you know how terrifying his aptitude is, it is okay to tell you about this person who dominates the entire state."

Yunluan Mountain, Ruan Jianxian? !

Ji Xia's eyes narrowed, and a myriad of thoughts ran through her mind.

But then he closed his eyes, his eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but speak softly, pretending to be puzzled:

"Dominate a state, be famous"

"Was such a being only the head of the Demon Hunting Division back then?"

"Who was the person who was able to command this kind of 'Sword Immortal' back then?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they sounded like a sigh of emotion.

but.
However, Chen Zhenwu's expression, which had been laughing, gradually became solemn.

He glanced around and saw that no one was coming here.

He stared at Ji Xia in front of him.

The tone was more serious than ever before:
"Don't mention this topic again in the future."

"The history before the current town guard is a 'taboo'."

"I don't know much about the secrets. I only know that the man was called Song Chaixin, and he did something great."

"It can be said that the whole world is our enemy."
