Without a heroic spirit, I can only end it myself.

[You and the sword ghost killed the evil official, and the corpse was hanging in the city. Instead of leaving, you sat in the city and protected the formation. 】

[Those who take advantage of the opportunity to commit adultery will be killed without mercy; if there are evil spirits secretly attacking the Huaihe River, they will be devoured by ghosts. 】

[It seems to occupy this city and wait for the official to come again. 】

Killing the city officials and leaving a name does not mean the end.

It was a troubled time, and evil spirits were everywhere. Without the protection of the city official formation, the officers, soldiers and casual cultivators in the city would not be able to survive for long.

Like Hunjiang City, it will be completely burned down by the evil cultivators.

If that situation were to arise, then it would be better not to kill the city official.

At least for 99% of the people in the city, they were not oppressed by evil officials, but instead died for "acting chivalrously and righteously".

Of course Jiang He wouldn't let this happen.

As a result, a strange scene appeared in Huaihe City.

The officers, soldiers and monks who were supposed to protect the people were hiding in their homes and shivering, afraid to come forward.

The ferocious ghost with a green face and fangs walks in broad daylight, maintaining order, punishing evildoers, and killing evil spirits.

All these situations naturally fell into the eyes of the people in the city.

They gradually understood something.

Although he still had fear and awe of the evil ghost and did not dare to appear in front of it, he gradually resumed his daily activities.

During this process, the identity of the sword ghost gradually spread——

Nearly twenty years have passed since Qiao Qiao disappeared.

No matter what reputation it had at the time, after such a long time, it should have long been forgotten.

but……

Although Qiao Qiao died, the Qiao family did not die.

Qiao Zi inherited his father's legacy and was also a famous figure among Huaihe warriors.

As his father, Qiao Qiao is also a part of his story, thus preserving the memories of many people.

When the warriors in the city heard the name Qiao Qiao, they felt that it sounded familiar. After thinking about it for a while, they quickly awakened their dusty memories and remembered the person they once were.

The identity of the sword ghost was also revealed.

When the people in the city learned the identity of the sword ghost, they understood why it, as a green-faced and fanged ghost, would attack the city official and his son in the name of eradicating evil people...

This Huaihe City is the hometown of Li Gui.

He was also a "hero" who defeated the strong and helped the weak, leaving behind many stories.

Several elderly storytellers, in the teahouse, told the story of the Iron Fist hero that no one had heard of for a long time.

Many people in the city also became curious about the experience of the sword ghost.

Why did the famous Iron Fist hero disappear in the mountains and forests?

What happened to it, turned into a fierce ghost, and finally returned to Huaihe City after nearly twenty years?

Does it still remember its own identity and its past?

Or do you just remember a simple name?

It’s not just the people in the city who have this idea.

Qiao Zi was also uneasy.

That day, he heard Dao Gui say his name, but he did not come forward to acknowledge him.

In the past few days, he had tried many times to find the sword ghost and ask for the truth, but he always stopped halfway.

He is not afraid of ghosts in appearance.

But...

Seventeen years have passed.

He has reached the age of his father.

Can his father still recognize him...

It is said that after a person dies and turns into a ghost, he will no longer think about what happened during his lifetime.

Father, still father...

Qiao Zi was pacing at home when he was slapped on the head.

He turned around and saw his mother wearing kitchen clothes, frowning and speaking.

"I haven't been thinking about this all day long. Go and ask your father to come home for dinner."

"Seventeen years have passed. I don't know how miserable I am outside and how much I have suffered..."

"I haven't cooked for so many years. The dishes I was best at before are a bit difficult to control the heat. I have tried many times, but I don't know if your dad is still used to it..."

Qiao Zi listened to her mother's nagging words.

I saw that she had dyed her gray hair black again, put eye powder on the corners of her wrinkled eyes, and put rouge on her cheeks.

As if walking out of his memory, he raised his eyebrows and scolded.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you go quickly?"

"……knew."

Qiao Zi nodded obediently and walked outside the house.

My mother's voice came from behind me.

"By the way, ask someone to call Sister You back, and remember to bring Xiaochen and the others with you..."

"I have to clean up again..."

…

Qiao Zi came all the way to the government office, regained his composure in front of the gate, and stepped inside.

In the yamen courtyard, a blindfolded monk was sitting under a tree, drinking tea, and playing chess with another young knight.

In the center of the courtyard, a tall, burly, green-faced and fanged fierce ghost was slowly wielding his sword, as if he was comprehending something.

Seeing the focused expression of the green-faced ghost.

Although it is very different from the memory, both in appearance and movement.

In a daze, Qiao Zi seemed to see a strong man, sweating and practicing boxing.

"father."

"You came."

The green-faced fierce ghost looked attentive, and without stopping, he spoke calmly.

Qiao Zi is in charge of the martial arts school and has many disciples. He is usually majestic and serious.

At this time, he hesitated like a child.

"My mother calls you home for dinner..."

"I know, I'll go back after practicing this set of sword skills."

Hearing these familiar words, Qiaozi's nose felt sour.

My father's words rang in my ears.

"Why are you crying? You are so grown up."

"Go back quickly, I'll be back later."

"Um!"

Qiao Zi held back her emotions, nodded vigorously, turned and left.

The green-faced ghost stood in the courtyard, still focusing on dancing with his sword.

The blindfolded monk raised his hand, dropped it, and spoke with a slight smile.

"Brother Qiao, what kind of sword technique are you practicing? Why have I never seen it before?"

"..."

You can't say that the movements are too deformed, and you can't match the number at all, right?

The green-faced ghost said seriously with a straight face.

"This is my own knife technique, and I'm still practicing it."

"Oh? You must let me see it later."

The blindfolded monk fell again and said to the knight in front of him.

"You know, Xiaoxiao, no matter how excited a ghost is, it can still keep from crying."

"The cries of wandering ghosts are either a way to lure passers-by, or they are habits during their lifetime..."

"so good."

"..."

The green-faced ghost tightened his expression.

The sword knight's eyes were bright.

The blindfolded monk continued.

"Xiao Xiao, the so-called father will never expose his weak side. No matter how excited he is, he must maintain his posture..."

"Brother Liu!"

"Brother Qiao, go back quickly. Don't delay. If you delay any longer, the food at home will be cold."

"Don't waste your wife's sincerity."

"……All right."

…

Jiang He laughed and shook his head when he saw Qiao Qiao's leaving figure.

After being away from home for seventeen years, not only Qiao Zi but also Brother Qiao felt equally uneasy.

However, these must be faced eventually.

In my own words...

Just help Brother Qiao take care of the trouble.

Don't let boring people disturb their purity.

"How much longer?"

"Half an hour."

"about there."

Jiang He stood up from under the tree and spoke.

"You stay here and look after the city. I'll come back as soon as I go."

【Ying Calendar year 8404, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. 】

[What happened in Huaihe City spread quickly, and the imperial court sent new city officials to come, and criminal officials also came with them, hoping to impose punishment on you. 】

[You go out of the city to meet him, defeat the executioner, and make him escape. Your crime will be even worse. 】

[Later, the officials of the new city were invited to come in and succeed Huaihe, taking charge of the overall situation and protecting the city. 】

"Chengyuan, why bother?"

"Anyway, both the Xie family and his son are dead. You just need to lower your head a little, and someone will naturally resolve the matter for you..."

"In the end, at most, I will go back to my family and face the wall for ten years, and I will be practicing in seclusion."

"It's good now. You beat away the Xie family's executioner sent by the imperial court, which completely disgraced the Xie family and the imperial court."

"This couldn't have gone any better."

The new Huaihe City Official sighed.

Because when Jiang Hezhao took office as the official of Huaihe City, he reported his family name and showed his identity.

The imperial court took corresponding measures:

Let Brother Liu come and take over as the official of Huaihe City.

He also asked monk Xie to serve as the executioner to punish Jiang He and take him to justice.

This weird arrangement is undoubtedly intended to be lifted up high and put down gently——

Jiang He killed a member of the Xie family, so the Xie family monk, as a criminal officer, dealt with him, which naturally gave Xie family face and status.

At the same time, as a member of the Liu family, the new city official who followed was bound to protect Jiang He.

It will prevent Brother Xie from being cruel and protect him to prevent him from having any accidents.

In the end, if you give me a casual charge, the matter will be solved.

The reason why the court made this arrangement was also because of Jiang He's past achievements.

He presented a treasured mirror to apprehend the mind and ordered thousands of demons to slay him.

He is a direct descendant of the Liu family, and has close contacts with members of the Wang family and other families, establishing the Taoyuan Immortal Sect.

He also rescued the Hunjiang city officials and killed the evil cultivators who massacred the city.

After this series of actions.

Jiang He's reputation in the family's court has reached a high level.

Coupled with the painful experiences in the past, even if he never returned home, he has become a new generation of Liu family's genius and attracted the attention of the family.

In this case, what does it mean to kill someone from the Xie family?

Anyway, the one who was killed was not the legitimate son of the ancestor of the Xie family, so he could just be punished a little.

It is precisely because of this...

The new Huaihe City official could not understand Jiang He's behavior at all.

It's obviously just a small thing, but you want to make it big?

Jiang He shook his head slightly.

There is something difficult to understand.

He took out the Mirror of Mind, not to help the family's court, but to prevent the Thousand Faced Demon from continuing to cause trouble.

He is friends with Wang Puchuan and others not because of their aristocratic status, but because of their recognition of themselves.

Kill that red-robed evil cultivator because he deserves to be killed.

To save the Hunjiang city officials was to help the poor people casually.

Everything he did was done from his heart, and he never considered the reputation or favor of the family.

It's the same today.

Why should he bow to the noble family when he kills the people who deserve to be killed?

As for whether this choice will affect Taoyuan Township, whether it will affect Daogui Qiaoqiao, and even his family...

The former, Wang Puchuan and others who were in charge of the Taoyuan Immortal Sect, also had the status of aristocratic families and had credit for slaying the Thousand Faced Demon.

Even if the Xie family wants to express their anger, the Wang family and other aristocratic families will not agree, but will cut it internally.

Taoyuan is Taoyuan, and Red Cloud is Red Cloud.

If you want to express your anger, why not destroy the Liu family first?

the latter……

If the aristocratic family doesn't treat ordinary people as human beings, how can they take sneakiness in their eyes?

In the eyes of the imperial court, he killed Huaihe city officials and angered the family.

From beginning to end, there was only Jiang He.

A mere sword ghost is just a weapon in his hand.

Could it be that when someone was killed, instead of looking for the murderer, they wanted to look for a weapon?

so……

"I will fight against hatred, and you will increase your reputation."

"Brother Qiao, you have to work hard."

Jiang He was looking forward to it.

The higher the legendary level of spiritual weapons and skills, the more powerful their effects will be.

When the Ghost Spirit Sword becomes his own spiritual weapon, if Qiao Qiao, as the ghost spirit in the sword, also leaves behind many legends and becomes an epic heroic spirit...

Then, the Ghost Spirit Sword will become a pure summoning spirit weapon, used to summon Qiao Qiao.

Or will it get additional effect bonuses?

Or, both?

Either way, Jiang He is not at a loss.
