Chapter 18: Town Ruler?Ruler?
"This point, I'm afraid we can only know it after a thorough investigation of the matter."

Xu Yao shook his head, eyes full of helplessness.

"The top priority is, we have to find Qingchan Town Ruler first, do you know its whereabouts?"

Then she looked at Xu Yedao solemnly.

"Zhenchi Qingtoad..."

Xu Ye tried hard to recall in the back of his mind, then shook his head and smiled wryly:
"Qingchan Town Ruler was lost in my grandfather's generation."

At least in his memory, this powerful clan relic only appeared in the Xu family's nostalgia for the past.

"Ugh……"

Hearing this, Xu Yan sighed lightly.

She hurried to find Xu Ye, originally hoping to get a clue, but now it seems that she was in vain.

"Why do you have to get the Zhenchi Qingchan to smash the Tingfengyu?"

Xu Ye asked Xu Rong at this time.

The former owner of this body knew about the Zhenchi Qingchan, but only at the level of knowing its name but not its reality, so Xu Ye had no choice but to ask Xu Po.

"Your elder brother is right. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, you don't care about studying and practicing. You don't even know the use of ancestral sacred objects."

Xu Yan looked at Xu Ye deeply, seemingly blaming him, but actually he missed Xu Yuan more in his heart.

Xu Ye smiled embarrassedly on the surface, but in his heart he complained with Xu Rong:

"That is, if it weren't for this guy's mind full of color waste, this start wouldn't be so difficult."

Xu Yao didn't talk about Xu Ye anymore, but explained to him with a serious expression:

"The ancestor of the Xu family left a total of three holy objects, which are two feet and one book."

"A book, also known as the "Deed of Nine Ghosts", is a contract signed by the ancestor of the Xu family with nine great ghosts when he was walking alone in the misty wasteland. After a long time, he was hidden by the ancestor, and no one knows his whereabouts since then."

"And two feet, one is the ruler enshrined in your family's ancestral hall, also known as the ghost whip ruler. It is rumored that Xu Jiuge used this ruler to whip ghosts and gods."

"The other foot is the Qingchan Town Ruler that your elder brother wrote in his letter."

"This ruler green toad was originally a paperweight used by the ancestors of the Xu family to press books."

"Because of being soaked in the awe-inspiring energy of the ancestor, it has already become a sacred object. If it is at least the second rank in terms of rank, it may even have reached the realm of the first rank holy object."

"As for..."

Having said that, she paused for a while, pinched the center of her eyebrows with her hand, and then spoke again:

"As for why you have to get the Zhenchi Qingtoad first to smash the Tingfengyu, I guess your elder brother wants us to use the Zhenchi Qingchan to shield the air machine, so as not to be discovered by the dark hand, because the Zhenchiqing The ability of the toad to conceal the Qi mechanism cannot be detected even by saints, ghosts and gods."

After listening to Xu Yao's explanation, Xu Ye's heart was suddenly filled with shock.

"Cousin, what do you mean, if we smash the Tingfengyu without getting the Zhenchi Qingchan, it is very likely that we will be detected by the person who murdered the Xu family?"

Xu Ye expressed the conjectures and questions in his heart.

"Is there really someone who can do this kind of thing?"

He added another question with more emphasis.

"Saints and ghosts and gods can definitely do it, and some Confucianism cultivators or ghosts with special abilities can also do it. It's not difficult."

Xu Yao nodded.

After hearing this, many unknown words appeared in Xu Ye's head immediately, but in order to prevent Xu Yan from becoming suspicious of him, he planned to go back and research by himself.

"It seems that you don't have any clues about Zhenchi Qingchan. I can only go back to the Xu family in Yucheng to look for it. Before that, you have to be more careful. Those people who harmed the Xu family in Beijing may still treat you. Let's do it."

Xu Rong instructed Xu Yedao.

"Cousin, don't worry, I'll join the Ghost Town Division in a few days. These people won't be so courageous as to work in the Ghost Town Division, will they?"

Xu Ye asked with a smile on his face.

He is now very grateful for his decision to join the Ghost Town Division.

"They actually agreed to let you work in the Ghost Town Division?"

Xu Ling was a little surprised.

"They were in a hurry to close the case."

Xu Ye grinned.

Seeing this, Xu Yao knew clearly, knowing that Xu Ye must have threatened the other party with a shameless face, so they made the promise, and then he sighed in his heart: "If Brother Xu Yuan survived, how could such a method be used? ?”

"correct."

Xu Yao suddenly took out the bamboo slip from the brocade box.

"Although your elder brother Xu Yuan didn't explain the origin of this bamboo slip, but I can feel that it seals a huge aura of grandeur, and it must be a sacred object. You must take care of it carefully, maybe it will be of great use in the future."

She handed the bamboo slip to Xu Ye.

"Cousin, don't you know the origin of this bamboo slip?"

Xu Ye took the bamboo slip with some curiosity.

"Except for the first generation ancestor, the other ancestors of the Xu family also left a lot of sacred objects. I don't know all about it."

Xu Ling shook his head.

"However, I see that your elder brother said that this bamboo slip was passed down to descendants of the Xu family in your lineage. The sacred object has spirits. Maybe it will automatically appear after another scholar in your family emerges."

She expressed her conjecture to Xu Ye.

Xu Ye nodded, and put away the bamboo slip, thinking that he would investigate slowly in the future.

At this time, the carriage just walked out of the alley, and the afterglow of the holy light shone in from the window of the carriage, which was exactly the same as the sunset in Xu Ye's original world.

"Get out of the car, cross the street in front of you, and you will arrive at the Xu Mansion."

At this time Xu Rong stopped the carriage.

"Cousin, don't you want to go and see with me?"

Xu Ye asked casually.

"no need."

Xu Yao shook his head sadly.

Xu Ye knew that Xu Rong was afraid of being emotional, so he didn't force him, nodded and opened the curtain to get out of the car.

"Second cousin."

At this moment, Xu Yao suddenly stopped Xu Ye again, and then said with a little self-blame on his face:
"I wrongly blamed you earlier, if you still feel unhappy, you can... you can slap me, I... I will never fight back!"

Saying that, Xu Yao closed his eyes and brought his face to Xu Ye.

Looking at the stubborn pretty face in front of him, Xu Ye couldn't help laughing and said, "This girl's character is really straightforward."

"You slapped me, my brother has replaced it for you, and we owe each other nothing."

After Xu Ye dropped this sentence, he jumped off the carriage very freely and strode towards the opposite side of the street.

Hearing this, Xu Yao trembled all over.

"I always feel that this second cousin is not as miserable as others say."

Looking at the back of Xu Ye swaggering down the street, Xu Yao muttered to himself.

But immediately, she frowned again, and changed back to that fierce look and said:

"Brother Xu Yuan, I will definitely avenge your revenge, your Xu family's revenge!"

……

The gate of Xu Mansion.

"My house...is sealed off?"

Looking at the two seals pasted on the gate, and the two city guards standing in front of the gate, Xu Ye felt dizzy.

"Brother officials, when will the Xu Mansion be sealed?"

Xu Ye asked the two guards standing at the door.

"The ghost energy in the mansion is too strong, and it needs to be purified with holy objects for seven days. Today is the fifth day."

The guard said in a cold tone.

Xu Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it's only seven days, but... today and tomorrow, where should I live?"

He immediately thought of another question.

"Whoa!..."

Just when he was worrying about where to live tonight, a carriage stopped at the gate of the Xu Mansion, followed by a beautiful girl in a white dress, but with "unhappy" written all over her face. down.

"Silent girl? Why are you here?"

Xu Ye recognized this tsundere girl.

"Don't get me wrong, I just happened to pass by, I didn't come to see you on purpose!"

The girl turned her face sideways and said, not going to look at Xu Ye either.

Xu Ye was taken aback for a moment, then grinned and said:

"Understood, understood, Miss Buyu, you just happened to pass by, and my house happened to be sealed off again, so I came down to take a look, everything is a coincidence."

After saying this, he jumped lightly and got into the carriage.

"Hey, who told you to come up!"

After Xu Ye sat down in the carriage, Lin Buyu realized it.

"Ah? Miss Xu, didn't you come to pick me up to your house?"

Xu Ye looked at Lin Buyu with an "innocent" face.

"Who is going to take you to my house? I just want to take you to my aunt's house for a night just to see you pitiful!"

Lin Buyu was anxious and blurted out directly.

As soon as the words came out, she reacted.

A fair and pretty face, flushed with a flush, stood there blankly like a piece of wood.

"Miss Lin, don't be dazed, get in the car, or go to your aunt's house."

Xu Ye put his head on the window and smiled at Lin Buyu.

"Humph!"

Lin Buyu glared at Xu Ye angrily, then strode onto the carriage without saying a word.

"Miss Silent, is your aunt's house far from the Yamen of the Ghost Town? I have to go to work tomorrow."

"You don't want to talk to me again!"

……

The next day.

Zhengui Siming Ziying Yamen.

"Xu Ye, right? I am Zhou Mang, the magistrate of the Three Banners of Mingzi Camp. From now on, you will also be a ghost messenger of the Three Banners."

Early this morning, Xu Ye rubbed against Lin Buyu's carriage and arrived here early.

Accompanied by a ghost messenger, he went through the naturalization procedures, and then met his superior, the Sanqi judge Zhou Mang.
