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

The short sword is extremely fast.

Cui Yuan couldn't dodge, and it penetrated his chest as soon as he saw it.

Ding!

The dagger stabbed a golden mirror.

"The evil heretic dares to harm people in front of me!"

Zhou Yi's eyes opened and closed, and the firelight shone, falling on the maid's body and igniting blazing flames.

Hiss hiss

The six-foot-long snake body emerged from the human skin, screaming and rolling, trying to extinguish the flames.

Screams rang out in the Chunfeng Tower, and the guests, girls, and servants fled in all directions.

A man dressed as a handyman screamed and passed by Cui Yuan. He lowered his head and stuck out his tongue several feet, curling it towards Cui Yuan's neck.

"snort!"

With a flick of his finger, Zhou Yi blasted the handyman several feet away, twitched a few times on the ground and turned into a toad.

"Why did the monster assassinate me?"

Cui Yuan looked confused.

Memory fragments flashed before Zhou Yi's eyes, and he looked directly towards the end...

Heavenly Demon Alliance.

The mission goal is to assassinate Cui Yuan.

"The ghost lingers!"

Zhou Yi waved his hand and grabbed it, pulling out the snake demon's soul directly, and scanned it with his consciousness to search for the soul.

Bang!

The snake soul exploded and its soul flew away.

"The one on the line is an elder named No. 3. It's a one-liner as always, but I can confirm that No. 3 has been lurking in Luojing!"

Through the soul search, Zhou Yi saw much clearer content. The disadvantage was that the soul was shattered by the forced soul search, which was far less long than the search time in the demon illustrated book.

Chen Ying protected Cui Yuan and asked, "Brother Zhou, where are we going?"

"Someone is coming."

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, a group of government officials came in from outside.

You can turn a blind eye to fights, and assassinations of monsters in the street are rare major cases in Luojing.

"Carry the monster's body away and ask the officials to check its origin."

The leading catcher in black recognized Zhou Yi's identity and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhou, in getting rid of the demon. I also ask Mr. Cui and Xiaguan to come over."

Zhou Yi suddenly asked: "How do you know his surname is Cui?"

"Well……"

The catcher's expression tightened. He was an expert at refining the gods in front of him, and he didn't dare to speak nonsense.

At this moment.

Another group of soldiers came outside, wearing armor from the city patrol camp, and directly surrounded the government officials.

The government officers and police officers drew their swords one after another and confronted the soldiers.

The leading captain stepped forward and bowed to Zhou Yi: "I have seen Mr. Zhou. Mr. Li ordered me to patrol Yirenfang to prevent anyone from disturbing you while you listen to the music."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "Captain Xinxin."

"This is what a lower official should do. Someone has been sent to inform Mr. Li."

The captain can handle ordinary minor matters on his own, but Li Xun still needs to make the decision on major cases involving the killing of monsters.

"Master Jiang, are you trying to obstruct the Jingya government's investigation?"

The black-clothed captain shouted sternly, and the police officers under his command were surrounded. They were furious, but they didn't dare to take action.

In the important area of ​​​​the capital, the capital government and the city defense camp fought fiercely. The impact was too bad, not to mention that they would definitely not be able to defeat them.

"Shen Captou, this monster has long been premeditated to harm the capital. The city defense camp has been tracking it for a long time, so it won't bother the capital government."

Jiang Cheng asked back: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Lu is in charge of Guirenfang. How come he is in charge of Yirenfang?"

Shen Baotou snorted coldly and said nothing. In front of Zhou Yi, how could he dare to admit that he was ordered by the Cui family.

Soon after, the sound of horse hooves came.

Then Li Xun entered Chunfeng Tower, and Jiang Cheng stepped forward and whispered a few words.

"Take them to Beicheng Prison and keep them under strict supervision."

Li Xun glanced at Shen Baotou and said: "Cui Fuyin wants someone, so go to Yanwang's Mansion to ask me for advice!"

"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."

Shen Baotou bowed and retreated, standing aside with his servants, watching Zhou Yi and the other two people go away with the city defense camp.

…

The Beijun Prison is a cell under the patrol camp, where all felons are imprisoned.

Murder and arson are not enough, at least you have to be a gangster and a hero.

The end of prison.

There are three rather tidy cells, which look like they have just been cleaned out.

Li Xun arranged for Chen Ying and Cui Yuan, told the jailer to take good care of them, and sent them directly in if they needed anything, and led Zhou Yi to the last room.

"Brother Zhou, there are few official prisoners here, and the conditions are not as luxurious as the government offices, so we'll make do with them."

"It doesn't matter, it's much better than the torture chamber."

Zhou Yi had already reached the realm of purity. Except for the legendary Cave Heaven Paradise, other environments had little impact on him.

Li Xun said with a smile: "These prisoners have been convicted, and most of them are also in the Demon Slayer Prison. Maybe Brother Zhou has even chopped them with his own hands."

Zhou Yi asked: "Is today's matter troublesome?"

It is true that the city guard is ranked third grade, but the level of danger is comparable to that of Luo Jingfu Yin. There is no need to wait for the opportunity to bring down Li Xun. All you need to do is arrange for someone to make a scene in Luojing City and set a fire, killing a few people, and then testify against him in court, and he can be dismissed from his post or imprisoned at worst.

"What's the trouble? I've long disliked those wealthy families."

Li Xun said: "Besides, my surname is Li, I am barely from a royal family, and I am naturally opposed to the aristocratic family."

"Huh? Interesting."

Zhou Yi asked: "What kind of opposition? I think most students in the academy preach that the monarch and his ministers are one and the same."

"Brother Zhou doesn't know. No matter how big or small the academies are in Daqian, the least one who can study is a small landowner, accounting for less than a few hundred people in Daqian. Take the recent inspection of farmland as an example. Of course, I hope that the monarch and his ministers will be united. Guarantee their fields.”

Li Xun said: "Before the monks' fields were allocated in Bodhi County, I found that the people's expectations were too low. They could only be considered wealthy if they had a house, a few acres of land, and a cow. Those people who were allocated monks' fields were absolutely loyal to The imperial court is loyal to the Li family."

"After I came back, I figured it out. The Buddhists tried their best to gather the fields and rent them out, not only for the sake of incense and belief, but also to poach the imperial court."

"Those people who rent their fields are loyal to Buddhism, not the court."

"These aristocratic families are no different from Buddhism. If you cut off half of them, you will be the Mingjun Holy Master. If you cut them all off, the world will return to its heart."

Li Xun rambled on for a while, obviously he had been holding it in for a long time. Normally, he could only keep these words in his heart.

Zhou Yi looked at Li Xun with strange eyes. Is this the same down-and-out prince who boasted about his ancestor's wealth every day?

Li Xun has soared into the sky since he left Prince Yan's Mansion. He relied on his own luck to fight in the north and south without losing a single victory, which can be said to be a great achievement. However, people who know him well only think that Li Xun is good at clinging to powerful people and has bad luck, always fighting against the odds.

Now after listening to what Li Xun said, Zhou Yi had a different view of him.

"Both His Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the Dukes of Gonggun see it more clearly than you. The matter of land seems to be just a common resource, but in fact it involves a lot. It is related to the foundation of hundreds of schools of Buddhism and Taoism. A single move will turn the world upside down."

Zhou Yi reminded: "Don't say those words to others again."

"Brother Zhou, don't worry. I know it's powerful, but I can't help but take care of it if I encounter it."

Li Xun said: "Our ancestor, King Zhongshan, is Taizu's own son and a descendant of Taizu. If I don't take care of him, Daqian will definitely be wiped out by the Buddhist and Taoist family, and then serve the next dynasty. "

"Only this last sentence makes people listen. Ten of your heads are not enough to chop me off."

Zhou Yi said: "Don't worry, this time we check the fields, the aristocratic family is going to bleed a lot."

When Emperor Guangming inspected the fields, he didn't know if it was for the sake of the people. Emperor Jingtai must have killed people in order to ripen the Nine Nether Fairy Lotus.

"I hope so, but it's a pity that His Majesty has lost his original wisdom in recent years, otherwise who would dare to disobey!"

Li Xun chatted with Zhou Yi for a while and then left. He was going to arrange a few files to smooth out today's events.

No matter who comes to investigate, the snake demon and toad demon are related to several major cases being investigated by the patrol camp.

In the cell.

Zhou Yi sat cross-legged, and the Yin Shen jumped out, no different from the original deity.

Passing through the wall, I saw Cui Yuan chanting sutras with his eyes closed.

First, I read the Taoist "Lingying Zhenjun Shangpin Miao Sutra", but after reciting it several times without any effect, I changed it to the "Mahayana Heart Sutra".

These two volumes of scripture have similar effects, both can strengthen the soul and increase spiritual awareness.

Zhou Yi said: "Your problem cannot be solved by reciting scriptures."

Hearing the sound, Cui Yuan slowly opened his eyes. At some point, a table was set up in front of him, and the aroma of spiritual tea filled his nostrils.

Cui Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zhou, I also know that it is of little use, so I always have to give it a try."

"According to our agreement, I will protect your life and tell you your story."

Zhou Yi drank slowly and said: "Since you are related to that old dragon, Pindao is your only chance to survive, so take advantage of it."

A few days ago, Cui Yuan told Zhou Yi that he would take advantage of Emperor Jingtai's opportunity to inspect the land and file an imperial complaint to expose the Cui family. Even if he could not bring him down, he would take advantage of the chaos to escape from the Cui family's control.

Zhou Yi agreed to Cui Yuan's request to come back and save his life on the condition that he tell the truth.

Cui Yuan has the blood of a true dragon and is most likely the parent and son of the old dragon in Luoshui. Zhou Yi wants to know the secret.

More than ten years ago, that old dragon was still trapped by the blood oath. How could he have the heart to play with the world and still have half-demon blood?

"Brother Zhou can actually see the source of blood!"

Cui Yuan's complexion changed slightly, and his bloodline had the True Dragon Seal, which was not exposed even to Yang Shen's face, and he immediately adjusted his mind and said.

"I only found out five years ago that my father was actually the legendary Dragon Lord."

"After my mother told me about my life before she died, she asked me to leave the Cui family and never come back to the ends of the earth."

"However, I am an ordinary person with no power to restrain a chicken. Even if I leave the Cui family, I can't hide for long, so I keep pretending not to know."

"In five years, in addition to investigating the Cui family's criminal evidence, we also found out the origin of the bloodline."

Cui Yuan hesitated for a moment, thinking that it might be an opportunity for Zhou Yi to see his bloodline at a glance, and said: "My cheap father, who is the legendary true dragon, is about to expire, and he doesn't want to be reincarnated, so he wants to seize the dragon." The son reincarnated. The Cui family had me in order to cling to the real dragon."

"Um?"

Zhou Yi frowned. His soul would collapse if his longevity was exhausted. It was not simply taking away the body that could extend his life. He needed to be reincarnated.

"I don't know exactly how to do it. It was what the dandy in the eldest room said when he was trying to please women."

Cui Yuan drank a cup of spiritual tea and said what he had been holding in for several years. His mood was agitated and his soul was unsteady. He said with a slight sarcasm: "That woman who is obsessed with dandy only has his money in her eyes. I gave that woman ten thousand taels of silver." , asked easily."

"Seizing one's body and extending one's life, the inheritance of demons and immortals..."

Zhou Yi deduced for a moment, waved his hand and a spiritual light fell into Cui Yuan's body to explore his basic qualifications.

The half-demon's cultivation aptitude is extremely poor, but Cui Yuan has the bloodline of a true dragon, similar to the descendant of a true immortal. The balance between the two is at least the appearance of a middle-aged person, so it is impossible to have difficulty in practicing.

Zhou Yi was surprised, then examined it carefully and said, "Such pure true dragon blood, if it weren't for the seal of the old dragon, it would be called a genius in martial arts."

"Brother Zhou is right. My mother told me that Lao Long has been to Cui's house twice."

Cui Yuan said: "The second time was because I heard that I was gifted, so I came back specially to seal it. My physical body's energy and blood were not flowing smoothly, and my spirit was apathetic."

"This prohibits you from practicing!"

The Book of Changes deduced the divination again, and the secrets were not as vague as before.

Taking a drop of blood from Cui Yuan's body, and taking out a drop of true dragon blood, combined with the reincarnations of true immortals he had seen and heard about, he roughly guessed the old dragon's method of extending life.

The bloodline of the demon fairy is inherited, and the next generation of true dragons will inherit the memory of the old dragon. If the successor's soul is weak, thousands of years of memory will wash away, annihilating the original memory and personality, and transform into an old dragon.

Of course, Laolong's secret method of extending life is not just that simple. It may also involve the fusion of true spirits, similar to the previous remnant spirit of the White Lotus Virgin trying to merge with the sea of ​​​​fa.

The true spirits of immortals and Buddhas are so terrifying. After fusion, they are nourished and resurrected by being latent in the soul of Fahai. Sooner or later, they will regain their complete true spirit and completely seize Fahai.

It is a pity that the Holy Spirit of the White Lotus Holy Mother died, leaving only a wisp of residual spirit. When the temptation failed, she was beaten to pieces and completely fell into the world.

The true spirit's reincarnation is a common method used by true immortals to extend their lives. They leave a residual spirit in tombs, adventures, treasures, bones and even skills, waiting for a lucky person to arrive.

The Yuan Chen Pearl, which was refined by Taizu Daqian from the bones of Guangweizi, is a treasure inherited from the twelve sects, and it contains the remnant spirit of Guangweizi.

After being nurtured by generations of sect masters, until Wuyun tried to swallow the remaining spirit and became an immortal, Guangweizi took the opportunity to seize the body and finally returned from reincarnation and was resurrected.

It's not that demon immortals can't cultivate their souls, but they are limited by their racial talents and demon body's evil aura. Compared with immortals and Buddhas of the same level, they are far behind.

Condensing the true spirit requires a very high realm of soul, a realm that ordinary immortals and Buddhas cannot touch, let alone demons and immortals.

However, everything in the world has a ray of self-spirituality. If the old dragon can forcibly gather a ray of self-spirituality with a secret method, mix it into the inheritance of the demon immortal, and merge and devour the successor, he may be reincarnated successfully.

The weaker the successor's soul, the lower the cultivation level, and the higher the success rate.

"No wonder the old dragon breeds all over the world, and there are countless dragon sons and dragon women. The fairy wants to give birth to a son who consumes a lot of energy and blood. Even a real dragon cannot be unrestrained. It is estimated that he has already planned to deceive his son."

Zhou Yi discovered the old dragon's plot. Even if it had other plans, there was no need to pay attention to the details. In the end, the true spirit would seize the body.

"Cui Yuan, now there is a chance to become an immortal, it depends on whether you are willing to take a gamble!"

"Become an immortal?"

Since Cui Yuan learned about his life experience, he frantically searched for all records about immortals, Buddhas and real dragons.

There are countless unique ancient books in the Cui family library, which makes Cui Yuan know that immortals and Buddhas are elusive and hard to find, just like myths and legends, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to get rid of the control of a real dragon. In front of me, I am only a third grade person, in front of immortals and Buddhas, I am nothing, but I am not ashamed to talk about becoming an immortal.

"I can tell you that that old dragon has many children, and he may not necessarily choose you."

Zhou Yi said: "So you can choose to refuse."

The old dragon soul is far inferior to the human immortal Buddha, and the true spirit is even worse, and may even be inferior to the remnant spirit of the white lotus. Therefore, Duo She will definitely choose the child with the closest bloodline, the weakest soul, and the lowest cultivation level.

Zhou did not tell Cui Yuan that the dragon bloodline was strong, and they would give birth to children with other pigs, dogs, cows and sheep, and they would become pigs, dragons, cows, dragons, etc. Even if the bloodline was sealed, their strength would increase with their longevity.

The only one who gave birth to an heir with a human race was still a half-demon, and his dragon talent was not obvious.

Cui Yuan might not be taken away from him. Old Long definitely has more than one heir in the human race. However, with the Cui family's relationship, he has the highest probability.

"Brother Zhou, if it had been yesterday, I would have refused. Thank you for telling the truth."

Cui Yuan looked like he was about to cry, and said, "I filed a lawsuit against the Cui family today, how can I turn back?"

"As long as you have an idea."

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "I will definitely turn you into Tang Monk meat, which will make the old dragon eager to eat it."

"Brother Zhou, what is Tang Monk meat?"

“A delicious little snack.”

Zhou Yi couldn't help but recall the taste of his childhood, maybe he could find Lao Zhou to make it.

Fried chicken has now spread all over Daqian, and there are different ways of eating it in different places, with sweet, salty, spicy and different flavors. In this way, Lao Zhou, the master of fried chicken, has secretly made fried chicken.

People are so weird. Tang Monk's meat may not necessarily taste very good, and the fried chicken made by Lao Zhou is not the most delicious. However, every time I think about it, I always feel nostalgic.

Cui Yuan still couldn't believe that the "decadent" real person who hung around Chunfeng Tower and drank tea and wine every day was actually the legendary true immortal.

Zhou Yi seemed to understand what he was thinking and asked, "What do you think a true immortal is like?"

"I read in the book that true immortals do not live with ordinary people. They drink morning dew in the morning and have colorful dinners in the evening. They ride on the Kowloon carriage and watch the fairies dancing. There is no cloudy day in the sky, and the earth is filled with fine wine..."

As Cui Yuan talked, he fell into fantasy.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Zhou Yi said: "None of the immortals I know live so comfortably. They are all commonplace fantasies and unrealistic."

Cui Yuan asked with embarrassment: "Uh! What is that like?"

"On weekdays, there is nothing much to do. Drinking and listening to music are just like ordinary things. We just have the opportunity to get together..."

"For example, a few days ago, we formed a group to go to Jizhou and beheaded an evil Buddha!"
