Chapter 631 The Out-of-Charge Demon Slayer
"Friend Shen Xian, the young monk still needs to collect those golden books, so I won't keep any more."
Outside the door, Master Zhikong came to say goodbye.
The people of God's dynasty are well-informed and have no real benefits. How can they believe in an evil spirit?
In addition to the spiritual light that makes people feel warm and comfortable, and can cure hidden diseases, the rat demon also distributed many gold books.
Gold is valuable, but even more valuable are the scriptures engraved in it.
Although it is only recorded in a short paragraph, it is indeed the Three Tribulations Lotus Technique used by Shen Yi to protect his soul through calamities and facilitate his understanding of heaven and earth.
Now that I want to take it all back, it’s not that Zhikong is stingy.
With this kind of skill, even an experienced practitioner will fall into illusion if he is not careful, let alone an ordinary person who is holding a broken scroll. If he cannot restrain his greed while chanting the sutra, he should take another look at it. , the consequences are simply unimaginable.
Besides...
Monk Zhikong raised his eyes slightly and looked through the roof at the imperial aura that filled the sky.
I felt vaguely uneasy.
Recently, there have been more and more cases of thefts of this kind of practice among sects. In Bodhi Sect, one of the three most dignified sects, it seems as if the monks guarding the pavilion have taken a nap together.
He is just an ordinary practitioner, and he doesn't know why things happen frequently. He just hopes that this good world will not be disturbed because of this.
"Master bids farewell."
Shen Yi nodded in return. In fact, he did not need to be reminded by Tu Tu Ye, and he would not get too close to Master Zhikong at this time.
After all, a Bodhi Sect practitioner had just been killed. Whether he wanted to join the Bodhi Sect or wanted to get something else from the Bodhi Sect, he had to wait at least for a while until the matter had completely subsided.
This is one of the reasons why Shen Yi joined the Demon Slayer Division without asking about the salary.
If this group of monks came to the door, except for the Demon Slayer Division, which was founded with the intention of targeting the three religions, most of the other forces would probably avoid handing them over.
"Huh."
After watching Master Zhikong leave the inn, Shen Yi turned around and returned to the house.
Just as he reached out to close the door, his figure instantly tensed up, and the sharp reminder of the aura rat rang in his mind.
"My lord, beware!"
Shen Yi's eyes dimmed slightly and she looked back.
I saw a tall figure appearing on my bed at some point, wearing a dark green dress, with two long white legs draped casually.
The woman's facial features were neat and pretty, and she looked at Shen Yi with interest. At her feet, a man in white shirt was tied up with a five-flowered fairy rope, and his lips and tongue were sealed by a talisman. His whole body was trembling, sweating profusely, and he was whimpering continuously. It seemed like he was begging for mercy.
"Are you the demon-slayer recommended by the Lord of the Land?"
Before Shen Yi could respond, the woman had already thrown a long sword with an extraordinary aura and introduced herself: "Ye Jing, the demon slayer officer of the Jianyang Mansion. I killed him with one sword, and I will accept you."
< br>
Hearing this, the man in white shirt started struggling crazily on the ground, making loud bangs on the floor and whimpering even louder.
After waiting for three days, the so-called Demon Slayer Division finally arrived.
But Shen Yi just lowered his eyes and glanced at the 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 slightly, and her tone was colder than before: "The Lord of the Land said that you were born to kill, so killing a monk should not be difficult for you."
"Who is he?"
Shen Yi acted as if he didn't hear anything and just repeated the question just now.
Ye Jing was startled for a moment, then finally got up and walked around the young man: "He is a disciple of the Three Immortals Sect. He wants to join our Demon Slayer Division. This is how he submits his name."
No matter how you look at it, this person is just a Taoist monk.
If you were placed elsewhere, you would naturally be an expert, but if you want to be a demon-slayer in the divine dynasty, you still have a little bit of skill left.
But since he can be recommended by the land master of Jianyang Mansion, he must have some extraordinary qualities. If he is not strong enough, he must at least be brave enough, right?
"..."
Shen Yi held the long sword at an angle and walked to the man's side.
After feeling the cold sword light, the man raised his head in fear, his pupils trembling as he stared at that fair and handsome face. He could not see any emotion about kindness on this face. On the contrary, this man The indifference to killing in his expression cannot be faked.
However, he did not feel the sharp pain of his neck being severed by the sharp blade. Instead, he heard a clear voice in his ears.
"What did he commit?" Shen Yi raised his sword slightly and aimed it at the man's eyebrows.
"Why do you have so many problems?" Ye Jing raised her eyebrows impatiently, which made her pretty features feel a little colder: "As a demon slayer, you follow the instructions of your superiors and kill whoever you are told to kill. He has been banned. It’s very easy to cultivate oneself, so why bother making so much noise.”
"Or do you dare not offend the three religions at all?"
She lowered her voice, with a bit of contempt in her voice, and then waited for the other party's explanation.
The next moment, Ye Jing's expression changed slightly.
The young man waved his hand casually, and the long sword turned into a stream of light and flew out, then disappeared into the scabbard on her waist with a swipe.
"伱, what do you mean?" Ye Jing clenched the hilt of her sword.
Shen Yi said nothing, patted her sleeves, and then raised her palms in a gesture of seeing off guests.
"You have to think clearly, you only have one chance..." Ye Jing wanted to say something, but she heard the young man sigh softly, grabbed the man on the ground, and threw him out of the door.
"No."
Shen Yi really needs a job and doesn'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 wipe out the monks who are causing trouble.
Rather than "dirty work" in the true sense.
He doesn't even have a brain and is being used as a knife.
To put it harshly, the Demon Slayer Division doesn't even allow subordinates to possess things like brains, nor are they allowed to ask why. If you expect others to protect you if something goes wrong, it's nothing more than using it to take the blame and throwing it away after use.
What Shen Yi needs is a big tree that he can rely on for a while, not a corpse buried deep in the ground to support the tree's growth.
If this is started, there will really be no freedom in the future.
Of course, there is another reason besides this... This woman's acting is too fake. Whether she is pretending to be arrogant or provocative later, she seems so deliberate. If she is led by the other party, it will make him have a kind of IQ. Feeling insulted.
Faced with this situation, Ye Jing was obviously at a loss. She was silent for a moment and hummed: "It's nothing more than that."
"Okay."
The man in the white shirt suddenly changed his expression, spit out the talisman between his lips and tongue, struggled with his arms a few times, and then untied the immortal rope on his body, then got up from the ground and patted the non-existent dust on his body: " Let me introduce you again. I am the Demon Slayer Officer of the Jianyang Mansion. Just call me Meng Tou. There are two Demon Slayer Officers under each Demon Slayer Officer. She is half of your senior."
"Is this over?"
Ye Jing put away the hateful expression on her face and looked at the man, looking a little dazed.
"Go back and practice more by yourself." Meng Xiuwen glanced at her with disgust: "With this kind of performance, how can I safely take you out to do things in the future?"
"Oh."
Ye Jing nodded. She had been practicing in front of the bronze mirror for two days for today's matter.
Hearing the meaning of Meng Tou's words, it seemed that he had been seen through.
But that's not right. If this young man really sees through this matter, it's just a show anyway, so why not take advantage of the situation and join the Demon Slayer Division?
"You have a pretty good personality, I like it." Meng Xiuwen looked at Shen Yi again and nodded with a smile.
There was a trace of undetectable helplessness in his eyes.
In fact, no matter what Shen Yi's response was, this boy had to join the Demon Slayer Division today. After all, according to Tu Tuye's intention, he did not want to find a job for the other party, but wanted someone to control him.
Since it is in charge, there is no question of whether it will pass or not.
The real meaning of the assessment is that Meng Xiuwen wants to know how he should treat this person in the future.
If he is really born to be a killer, he handed over this certificate of surrender without asking the reason, which shows that he is very courageous and ambitious, and he is unscrupulous, and he has no bottom line of conscience. It is a very good sharp blade... and it can only be one. A knife.
If he sees through this situation and speaks out to see through it, it means that he has good mental experience. Even when facing the gods, he can remain calm and calm, and his thoughts are not chaotic. He is a talent.
But it happened that he saw through this, but did not say anything, and instead refused the Demon Slayer Division's solicitation.
It can only prove that this person is difficult to control, extremely principled, and arrogant.
But the biggest problem is that although Tu Tuye 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 dare to attack the people of the three religions until the end. This is the most difficult and basic threshold for the Demon Slayer Division to cross.
Hey, let’s leave it alone for now.
"Please eat this."
Ye Jing walked up to Shen Yi and handed over a bag of flower cakes. Obviously, this was her way of expressing her apology for Cai Cai's provocation.
She swallowed: "This is the most delicious flower cake in the whole Jianyang Mansion."
"..."
Shen Yi stared at the bag of cakes. He could understand that organizations like the Demon Slayer Division would definitely focus on testing newcomers, but he was just unwilling to compromise.
This little thing would not dissatisfy him.
It's just that the two people in front of him are so inconsistent, which really makes Shen Yi feel a little less secure about embarking on this road.
"Go aside."
Meng Xiuwen pulled Ye Jing aside, and sat down next to Shen Yi in a familiar manner: "Don't worry, I won't let you do your work in vain. We pay well here, so work hard."
At this point, he lowered his voice: "The Demon Slayer Division does not reward money, but... the things that all the gods and Buddhas in the sky are flocking to, you should understand?"
After saying that, Meng Xiuwen stared at Shen Yi closely, wanting to see how he would react.
But the result once again disappointed him. This young man seemed to be an ascetic who had no desires or pursuits. No, even the ascetics knew how important imperial aura was, but the other party didn't even show any emotion at all.
Shen Yi had already expected this matter.
If he wants people to work for the dynasty and fight with the three religions, after thinking about it, the most valuable thing the emperor can bring out is the Divine Qi. The effect of this thing on the monks is far more than the divine treasures and life-extending elixir. .
But to Shen Yi, it's really no different than worthless.
It is clear that overcoming the physical tribulation is the most efficient way, so why take the risk to overcome the mental tribulation.
He simply wanted to have someone who could take the blame and bear the risks for him after taking action.
"What should I do?" Shen Yi looked at the demon slayer officer.
Meng Xiuwen was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh: "Follow me first, you don't have to do anything, just think of it as getting to know our industry."
After that, he stood up and walked towards the door, stretching: "I happened to have an errand, 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 raining 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 are any natural or man-made disasters, you can still escape in the clouds and mist to avoid them."
"But not everyone can have your level of cultivation."
"Since then, the imperial court has established a new department, 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 what Xianting meant, it wouldn't be us minions' turn to investigate. It's probably just a few thieves who have their own ideas and are causing trouble."< br>
"The Patriarch 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 matters worse, 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, do whatever you want."
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.
