I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years

Jingtai since sixty years.

Zhuangyuantang sent several new volumes of books to the palace, all of which were annotations of Confucian classics, but their performance in the end was mediocre.

There is a vast market for this type of book, but there are so many competitors that it is difficult to attract attention.

Until it was sent to "The Punisher's Theory".

As soon as this book entered Jixia Academy, it aroused huge discussion, and the first person to question it was the vernacular version.

Fortunately, Zhou Yi pointed out at the beginning that this book is for ordinary people to read, and Daqian did not only respect Confucianism. Zajiaists and novelists did not reject vernacular literature.

Subsequently, controversy arose due to its content.

In the first volume of "The Punisher's Story", Shopkeeper He specially selected a few ghost stories in which the protagonist is a scholar.

Scholars, demons, and demon slayers all end up with the same fate: their families are destroyed, their families are destroyed, and the demons are killed.

This is a completely different scene from what students usually see, where the fox demon adds fragrance and the snake spirit warms the bed. There are slight twists and turns in the middle, but finally happiness and contentment.

As a result, some people questioned the authenticity of "The Punisher's Theory" and believed that a scholar was making it up and must be resisted.

The leader of the boycott was Wang Boan, whose real name was Wang Hao, who had an acquaintance with Zhou Yi.

When Wang Bo'an saw the torturer's words for the first time, he couldn't help but think of Zhou Yi, who called himself "fighting for his father". He read the book with colored glasses, and naturally made many mistakes and errors.

The people who put an end to the second dispute were the deans of the Buddhist Academy and the Taoist Academy, two great Confucians who studied Buddhist and Taoist classics intensively.

When studying Buddhist and Taoist classics, it is inevitable to interact with Buddhist and Taoist monks. I have a deeper understanding of the relationship between humans and demons in Daqian today than others.

The reality is even more cruel than "The Punisher".

The Taoist Academy is writing a comment in his own hand: Use the eyes of a small official to observe demons and warn future generations, and you can do it!

You can do it!

These four words are already extremely high praise.

Wang Bo'an was just a teacher, and there was no real evidence to prove that "The Punisher's Theory" was a rumor, so he had to stop. However, he did not admit defeat. Instead, he studied the book carefully and vowed to find bigger problems in it.

Since ancient times, being a scholar has always ruined others.

They are proficient in writing, laws, and allusions, and are good at figuring out officialdom and emperors, and know where to start with the most certainty and accuracy.

Emperor Daqian Jingtai has been in power for sixty years. He was praised by Emperor Guangming when he was a child, and he has always regarded it as his lifelong pursuit. It is inevitable that he developed a temperament that loves great achievements.

Nowadays, the prince supervises the country and only listens to the peace and prosperity of the country and the peace of the people. He does not like people reporting internal and external troubles and scolds them for their alarmist talk.

One is to show that the prince is capable of governing the country, and the other is to make his father happy.

Wang Bo'an couldn't find any mistakes in the book, so he started with "The Emperor's Heart".

The stories in "The Punisher's Story" cover people from all walks of life, except for scholars, who are basically poor people.

Among them, the case of the bull demon stealing people was caused by the lack of food.

"Our country is rich and the people are strong. Every household has a surplus of food. It is a time of peace and prosperity. Is there anything in the world where the poor cannibalize people?"

Wang Bo'an slapped his thigh excitedly: "It must be the author of the book who is slandering, insinuating, and throwing dirty water on our great country! This book contains evil intentions and must be banned!"

So he immediately drafted a document to inform the Crown Prince that the Yamen must ban "The Punisher's Theory" to prevent it from poisoning the world.

at the same time.

Wu Ke, the principal of the School of Law, was reading "The Punisher's Theory", and several of the articles about the popularization of the law caught his appetite.

Hundreds of schools of thought contended in the great Qian dynasty, and apart from Buddhism and Taoism and the small schools of thought, Confucianism and Legalism generally stood side by side.

"It is wonderful to explain and popularize the law with humorous and interesting ghost stories!"

Wu Ke has really gone deep into the grassroots investigation, and traveled to the poor class that the elite class ignores or ignores. It is a completely different world from the prosperity of Kyoto.

He once wrote a book on this topic, hoping to popularize Legalism among the poor to prevent them from being exploited by bullies and petty officials.

It is a pity that the poor have their own way of survival, which is completely different from the class Wu Ke lives in. The arrogance and prejudice carried by the "writing" itself makes his books uninterested.

"People may not have the money to buy this book, and they may not know how to read it, but the story will be passed on."

"I should give it a push, just for myself! The "New School Five Classics" can only be circulated among the upper class, but the stories in it can appear in any corner of Daqian!"

Wu Ke immediately asked someone to contact Zhuang Yuantang, who was willing to write a preface to "The Punisher's Theory".

When shopkeeper He heard the news, his first reaction was to print more!

If a new book can attract a doctor from the Academy to write a preface, it is already a first-class book.

Now that the hospital is the chief writer, that’s great!

Coupled with the Taoist Academy's official comments, it can definitely be named as the official recommendation of the two major academies!

…

The hustle and bustle of Jixia Academy has nothing to do with Zhou Yi.

I am on duty every day, copying books and studying scriptures, slaying demons and demons, and being ordinary is the truth.

Every time Zhou Yi copied the Taoist scriptures, he gained one more understanding of the classics of the sages.

After understanding the meaning of Taoist scriptures, some Taoist spells can be performed more easily, and each scroll can be exchanged for more than twenty taels of silver.

The only pity is that there is still no shadow of the Yin God.

Shopkeeper He invited several calligraphers to appreciate calligraphy, which doubled the value of Zhouyi's manuscript. It is limited to one volume per day. It is said that the reservation has been made for a few months.

Zhou Yi has already begun to look for a house in the capital.

Taoism has grown to a small bottleneck. After reaching the level of Taoism for ten thousand years, it may be due to the qualitative change of mana. Killing the little C-character prison monsters wouldn't even give you a year of Taoism. It only took a dozen of them to get together, and the monster illustrated book reminded him once.

Taoism adds one year.

Fortunately, the reward discount for the B-word Prison Demon is not big, and the growth of Taoism has not slowed down with some daily diligence.

This morning, Zhou Yi killed a demon from the side sect.

Dressed as a wandering Taoist priest, he is actually a spy of the Naked Cult. He travels around in search of information on weekdays.

They made their way from Feiyun Mansion in the far north to the capital safely until they met Xu Ye, the famous dandy in Kyoto, the son of General Dragon Cavalry.

The Taoist priest told Xu Ye's fortune, flattering him and saying that beneath Xu Ye's dandy appearance, he actually had a bright future and would be able to achieve a great career in the future.

Xu Ye was furious, and he and several dudes beat up the Taoist priest, and then slandered him as a demon and prepared to throw him into death row.

The Taoist priest had no choice but to show his strength and seriously injured Xu Ye and others. In the end, he failed to escape the pursuit of the masters of the General's Mansion and was thrown into the Demon Slayer Prison without trial.

Before he died, the Taoist priest was full of resentment. He did not die in the hands of Daqian spies, but fell in front of a few ignorant dudes.

The Demon Illustrated Book rewards a transformation method called Shapeshifting from the Book of Changes.

The inferior method of transformation relies on external objects to change one's appearance. It can only slightly change one's body shape, but the monks can see through it at a glance. The most advanced method of transformation is naturally to change the shape of the fetus. Even the soul, breath, and cause and effect have changed, and the gods can't tell it in person.

The shape-shifting skill is barely average. You can freely change the height, height, fatness, or thinness of your body. Unless you specifically sense the aura of the soul, it is not easy for a monk to recognize it. It is much better than ordinary illusions.

There are many ways to break illusions, such as spiritual eyes, natural spiritual eyes, magic weapons, etc.

Some monks with cautious personalities like to use spiritual eyes to see people.

"This is safer. It avoids the risk of encountering an immortal master underground and exposing the illusion."

Zhou Yi returned to the inn in a good mood and stood behind the counter in the lobby, reciting the Taoist scriptures he copied during the day.

If you copy and recite it from time to time, you will surely gain insights over time.

Bai Yutang was arrested by his wife. The shopkeeper had not yet returned from Yuzhou, so Zhou Yi took over the post of shopkeeper temporarily.

There is a "Full House Today" sign hanging outside the door all day long. We only receive a few casual passers-by, but it's not too troublesome.

"Mr. Zhou, the fried chicken you mentioned was finally made after a dozen chickens were wasted."

The inn cook's surname is not Li, but has the same surname as Zhou Yi. The surname Zhou is not common in Daqian, so it seems a bit close to him.

"You made it so quickly? Bring it over and try it."

Zhou Yi eats a few dishes cooked by Lao Zhou every day, and misses the fried chicken and beer from his previous life. The latter doesn't know how to make it, but the former can guess about it based on his imagination.

Wrap chicken legs in flour and fry slowly!

After failing once, twice and three times, I succeeded no more than a dozen times.

Lao Zhou rubbed his thumb and index finger.

"Sir, why don't you reimburse the money for those dozen chickens first?"
