Begin immortality by slaying demons

"Friend Shen, I still need to take back those golden books, so I won't stay any longer."

Outside the door, Master Zhikong came to say goodbye.

The people of the Divine Dynasty are well-informed, and they would never trust a demon without real benefits.

In addition to the spiritual light that makes people feel warm and comfortable, and can cure hidden diseases, the rat demon also distributed many golden books.

Gold is valuable, but what is more valuable is the scriptures printed in it.

Although only a small section is recorded, it is indeed the Three Tribulations Lotus Platform Method used by Shen Yi to protect his soul from tribulations and to facilitate the perception of heaven and earth.

Now that all of them are taken back, it is not that Zhikong is stingy.

This kind of skills, even experienced practitioners, will fall into delusion if they are not careful, let alone ordinary people, who are holding a fragment. If they can't restrain their greed and take a second look when chanting the scriptures, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

In addition...

Monk Zhikong slightly raised his eyes, looked through the roof, and looked at the imperial aura in the sky.

I felt a little uneasy.

Recently, there have been more and more thefts of such skills in the sect. The Bodhi Sect, one of the three religions, seemed to be dozing off with the guard monks.

He was just an ordinary practitioner. I didn't know why he had so many accidents. I just hoped that this matter would not disturb this good world.

"Master, goodbye."

Shen Yi nodded in return. In fact, he didn't need the reminder of the land god. He would not get too close to Master Zhikong at this time.

After all, he had just killed a Bodhi practitioner. Whether he wanted to join the sect or get something from the Bodhi Sect, he had to wait for a while until the matter was completely settled.

This was also one of the reasons why Shen Yi joined the Demon Slayer Division without asking for treatment.

If this group of monks came to the door, except for the Demon Slayer Division, which was originally established to target the three religions, most other forces would probably avoid him and hand him over.

"Huh."

After watching Master Zhikong leave the inn, Shen Yi turned back to the house.

Just as he stretched out his hand to close the door, his body tensed up instantly, and the sharp reminder of the spiritual mouse sounded in his mind.

"My Lord, be careful!"

Shen Yi's eyes sank slightly, and he looked back.

On his bed, he saw a tall figure wearing a dark green long skirt, with two white long legs casually crossed.

The woman had pretty features and looked at Shen Yi with interest. At her feet, a man in a white shirt was tied up with fairy ropes, and his lips and tongue were sealed with talismans. He was trembling all over, sweating profusely, and making continuous whimpers, as if begging for mercy.

"Are you the demon slayer recommended by the land god?"

Before Shen Yi responded, the woman had thrown a long sword with an extraordinary aura and introduced herself: "Ye Jing, the demon slayer of Jianyang Prefecture, I will take you if you cut him with a sword."

Hearing this, the man in a white shirt was already struggling wildly on the ground, hitting the floor with a bang, and the whimpering became even louder.

After three days of waiting, the so-called Demon Slayer Division finally arrived.

Shen Yi just lowered his eyes and glanced at the long sword in his hand: "Who is he?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?"

Ye Jing supported the edge of the bed with both hands, sat up a little straight, and said in a colder tone than before: "The land god said that you were born to kill, and it should not be difficult for you to kill a cultivator."

"Who is he?"

Shen Yi seemed to have not heard it, and just repeated the previous question.

Ye Jing was stunned for a moment, and finally got up and walked around the young man: "He is a disciple of the Three Immortals Sect. If he wants to join my Demon Slayer Division, this is a token of surrender."

No matter how you look at it, this person is just a Taoist cultivator.

If he is placed elsewhere, he is naturally a Taoist master, but if he wants to be a demon slayer in the Divine Dynasty, he still lacks some ability.

However, since he can be recommended by the land god of Jianyang Prefecture, he must have some extraordinary qualities. If his strength is not good, at least he must be brave enough, right?

"..."

Shen Yi held the long sword diagonally and walked to the side of the man.

After feeling the cold sword light, the man looked up in fear, his pupils trembling, staring at the fair and handsome face. He could not see any kind emotion on this face. On the contrary, the indifference to killing in this man's expression was definitely not something that could be faked.

However, he did not feel the sharp pain of his neck being cut by the sharp blade, but a clear voice sounded in his ears.

"What did he do wrong?" Shen Yi raised the sword slightly and pointed it at the man's eyebrows.

"Why do you have so many questions?" Ye Jing raised her eyebrows impatiently, making her pretty features a little colder: "As a demon slayer, you should obey the orders of your superiors and kill whoever you are told to kill. His cultivation has been sealed. This is very easy. Why bother making so much noise."

"Or do you dare not offend the three religions at all?"

She lowered her voice, with a little contempt in her voice, and then waited for the other party's explanation.

The next moment, Ye Jing's face changed slightly.

The young man waved his hand casually, and the long sword turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the scabbard at her waist.

"What do you mean?" Ye Jing held the hilt tightly.

Shen Yi said nothing, patted his sleeves, and then raised his hand to show his departure.

"Think it over, you only have one chance..." Ye Jing wanted to say something, but heard the young man sigh softly, grabbed the man on the ground, and threw him out the door.

"No."

Shen Yi really needed a job, and didn't mind doing some dirty work.

But the premise is that he has a good impression of the Divine Dynasty. The so-called dirty work is the kind of thing that cannot be discovered by the Immortal Court, but the purpose is to eliminate the monks who are causing trouble in one side.

It is not a "dirty work" in the true sense.

He doesn't even have a brain and is used as a knife.

To put it bluntly, the Demon Slayer Department does not allow subordinates to have such things as brains, nor is it allowed to ask the reason. If you still expect others to protect you when something goes wrong, it is nothing more than a waste that is used to take the blame and thrown away after use.

What Shen Yi needs is a big tree that can temporarily lean on, rather than becoming a corpse buried deep in the ground to support the growth of this big tree.

If this is opened, there will be no freedom in the future.

Of course, there is another reason besides this... This woman's acting is too fake. Whether it is pretending to be arrogant or the provocation later, it seems so deliberate. If he is led by the other party, he will feel that his IQ is insulted.

Faced with this situation, Ye Jing was obviously at a loss. After a moment of silence, she snorted, "That's all."

"That's enough."

The man in white suddenly changed his expression, spit out the talisman between his lips and tongue, and struggled with his arms a few times to untie the immortal rope on his body. Then he got up from the ground and patted the non-existent dust on his body: "Let me introduce myself again. I am the demon slayer of Jianyang Prefecture. You can call me Mengtou. A demon slayer has two demon slayers under his command. She is half your senior."

"Is this considered?"

Ye Jing put away the hateful expressions on her face and looked at the man, looking a little dazed.

"Go back and practice more." Meng Xiuwen glanced at her with disdain: "With this performance, how can I, the boss, feel at ease to take you out to do things in the future."

"Oh."

Ye Jing nodded. For today's matter, she had been practicing in front of the bronze mirror for two days.

From what Mengtou said, it seemed that she had been discovered.

But that's not right. If this young man really saw through this matter, it's just a show, why not take advantage of it and join the Demon Slayer Division.

"You have a good personality, I like it."

Meng Xiuwen looked at Shen Yi again and nodded with a smile.

There was a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

In fact, no matter how Shen Yi responded, this kid must join the Demon Slayer Division today. After all, according to the intention of the land god, it is not to find a job for the other party, but to let someone control him.

Since he is being controlled, why pass or fail.

The real meaning of the assessment is that Meng Xiuwen wants to know what attitude he should take towards this person in the future.

If he is really born to kill, he handed in this letter of surrender without asking the reason, which shows that he is very courageous and ambitious, and he will do anything to achieve his goal, and there is no conscience bottom line. It is a very good blade... or just a knife.

If he saw through this trap and spoke out, it means that he has good mental experience. Even when facing the Divine Dynasty, he can remain calm and collected, and his thoughts are not chaotic. He is a promising talent.

But he saw through it but didn't say anything. Instead, he refused the recruitment of the Demon Slayer Division.

It can only prove that this person is difficult to control, very principled, and arrogant.

But the biggest problem is that although the land god said that this person is not afraid of offending the three religions, offending and killing are two different concepts.

Today, it seems that the other party did not show the courage to really take action against the people of the three religions until the end. This is the most difficult and basic threshold for the Demon Slayer Division to cross.

Well, let's take care of it for now.

"Please eat this."

Ye Jing walked in front of Shen Yi and handed over a bag of flower cakes. Obviously, this was her way of expressing her apology for the provocations just now.

She swallowed her saliva: "This is the most delicious flower cake in the whole Jianyang Prefecture."

"..."

Shen Yi stared at the bag of cakes. He could understand that an organization like the Demon Slayer Division would definitely focus on examining newcomers, but they just didn't want to compromise.

This little thing didn't make him dissatisfied.

It was just that the two people in front of him looked so out of tune, which really made Shen Yi feel a little less secure about embarking on this road.

"Go away."

Meng Xiuwen pulled Ye Jing aside and sat down next to Shen Yi in a familiar manner: "Don't worry, you won't work in vain. We have high treatment here, so you should work hard."

At this point, he lowered his voice: "The Demon Slayer Division doesn't reward money, but rewards... the things that all the gods and Buddhas are eager to get. You should understand?"

After that, Meng Xiuwen stared at Shen Yi closely, wanting to see how he would react.

But the result disappointed him again. This young man seemed like an ascetic monk who had no desires or demands. No, even an ascetic monk knew how important the imperial energy was, but the other party didn't even move at all.

Shen Yi had expected this.

Wanting people to work for the dynasty and fight against the three religions, after thinking about it, the most valuable thing that the emperor can take out is the divine emperor's qi, which is far more effective for cultivators than divine treasures and immortal pills.

But for Shen Yi, it is really no different from chicken ribs.

It is clear that overcoming the physical tribulation is the most efficient way, why take the risk to overcome the mental tribulation.

He simply wants to have a force that can help him take the blame and bear the risk after the action.

"What should I do?" Shen Yi looked at the demon slayer.

Meng Xiuwen was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Follow me first, you don't have to do anything, just treat it as an understanding of our business."

After that, he stood up and walked towards the door, stretched out and said, "I happened to have an errand on my schedule. Maybe I haven't moved my muscles for a long time."

I don’t know where this kid comes from, it’s hard to figure out, but as long as you keep him by your side and keep an eye on him, you can always learn more about him.

"Give."

Ye Jing followed behind and handed the bag of delicate cookies to Shen Yi, suppressing her greed with a bit of stubbornness in her eyes.

"..."

Shen Yi took it casually.

Seeing this, Ye Jing finally let out a sigh of relief. In her opinion, this was the acceptance of her apology by her new colleague.

…

Outside Jianyang Mansion.

A dilapidated and blood-stained carriage walks along the path.

With her previous experience with ponies, Shen Yi was used to this way of traveling. Although it was not as fast as the teleportation method, it was easier and less noticeable.

Ye Jing was sitting in the corner of the carriage, holding a bronze mirror, trying her best to look pitiful, and muttering incomprehensible words.

"Do you want to practice too?"

Meng Xiuwen looked at Shen Yi and reminded him seriously: "Although you don't need to take action, don't let the truth slip."

After that, he briefly introduced: "There has been no rain in Yulonggang for six months, and the Shen Dynasty has not received the jade order related to the Immortal Court. We suspect that the matter is related to the nearby Immortal Sect, so we plan to go to investigate. "

"Does the matter of rain fall under the control of the Demon Slayer Department?" Shen Yi glanced slightly sideways.

Hearing this, Meng Xiuwen was startled for a moment, then turned to look out the window and smiled faintly: "Do you know why our nine divisions are established?"

He looked far away to the north and thought to himself: "Many years ago, a big mansion in Beizhou offended the immortal official. Not a drop of rain fell for six hundred years. It went from a prosperous place to starving people all over the land, to a barren land, until now. Even the name of the place has been forgotten.”

"Of course, for you, six hundred years is just a blink of an eye. Even if there is any natural or man-made disaster, you can still escape in the clouds and mist to avoid it."

"But not everyone can have your level of cultivation."

"Since then, the imperial court has established a new one, and we have a divine salary to enjoy."

Meng Xiuwen finished speaking briefly and looked back: "It was originally set up because of the rain. If something similar happens again, it will naturally be taken care of."

"Of course, you don't need to be afraid."

Seeing Shen Yi's silence, he smiled and joked again: "If it's really Xianting's intention, it won't be our minions' turn to investigate. It's probably just a few thieves who have their own ideas and are causing trouble."

"The founder of the Jade Dragon Sect once listened to the Dharma under a certain senior of the Three Immortals Sect. He was in the realm of true immortals many years ago. This Immortal Sect traces his inheritance and can barely relate to that senior. Therefore, if it is not necessary, do not To make the matter bigger, just change your identity and conduct a secret visit."

"She and I are the geniuses of the Immortal Sect who escaped because of the internal fighting within the sect. As for you... you just pretend to be a boy who does chores for us?"

"Don't worry, it won't be difficult. Just talk less and watch more. Just practice hard and don't let anyone catch you."

Meng Xiuwen felt that he had taken great care of this boy. As long as the other party paid a little attention, such a simple thing would always be no problem.

After that, he handed over a bronze mirror.

"Thank you...no need."

However, Shen Yi glanced at the bronze mirror with complicated eyes, shook her head, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

If Master Zhikong were present, he would have noticed that Shen Xianyou's eyes just now were exactly the same as when he looked at himself and others a few days ago.

"Tsk!"

Meng Xiuwen finally couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He really couldn't understand what the Earth God was pushing for him.

Born to kill? Quite ambitious? Well-appreciated by Bodhisattva practitioners?

Did Min Zhiyan stay in the Tutu Temple for a long time, and his eyes were a little blurry?

He is somewhat clever, but whether it is his cultivation, his temper, or even his indifference to the imperial spirit, how is he suitable to be a demon slayer?

"That's all, it's up to you."

Meng Xiuwen rubbed the bridge of his nose. At worst, he would add a mute setting to the boy and just manage to fool him.
