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

Du Si was stunned, why did it suddenly involve him.

Some time ago, Du Si passed by the Bamboo Garden and was impressed by the bamboos. He wrote an article "On Bamboo".

After Li Yuanbai saw it unexpectedly, he praised it very much and carved a monument with his own hands and erected it outside the gate of Zhuyuan.

After that, it caused quite a stir, and the bamboos in the bamboo garden suffered a lot. Many scholars learned to check bamboos, but unfortunately they couldn't understand the truth, so they dug up the bamboos and planted them in their own homes.

If the pattern doesn't make sense one day, he will plant it in his home every day.

Du Si put away the chess pieces and said: "Chief Qin, I heard that you were able to write articles at the age of seven, published a book at the age of nine, and won the imperial examination at the age of twenty, or did you gain the title of Jie Yuan that year?"

Qin Zhong snorted coldly: "What? Does Du Gezhu doubt what Qin said?"

These deeds are widely circulated in Longchuan Academy, and the source comes from Qin Zhong. He doesn't like people saying that he is stupid, so he often talks about his youthful pride.

"The young man is proud, it doesn't matter if he talks about it."

Du Si smiled and said: "However, Qin Jingzhu is already 180 years old, and he still talks about his youthful pride. It can only be said that he has become a mediocre person in the past 160 years, which is even worse than stupid!"

Du Si has never been a weak-tempered person, otherwise he would not have beaten the examiner violently in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

In recent years, as a tea plantation caretaker, instead of being tempered and smoothed, my temperament has become more angular and sharp.

Observing the words given by Zhou Yi every day, Du Si was influenced by its connotations and aura, and he hated the evil spirits and rapes, and even looked down on Qin Zhong and his like. .

mediocre!

When Qin Zhong heard this, his eyes were about to split, and he said angrily: "Lao Shanzhang, Du Si is just a junior, you rely on your talent to humiliate me, how can there be any Confucian benevolence in what you do?"

"Benevolence and righteousness? You are worthy of talking to me about benevolence and righteousness!"

Li Yuanbai waved his hand, grabbed Qin Zhong's neck, and said coldly: "The brothel girls know that some customers cannot be received. The Goulan singer also knows that there are some plays that cannot be performed!"

"Qin Zhongzhi, do you know that some spiritual objects cannot be taken?"

Qin Zhong had no power to resist, his Confucianism and Taoism were imprisoned, and he struggled with all his limbs like an old man hanging from his head. I feel that the strength of my palms on my neck has increased, making it difficult to breathe.

"Sir, spare your life, the student will definitely change."

Qin Zhong begged: "Looking at the students who have been teaching in the academy for decades, there is no credit but hard work..."

When Li Yuanbai heard this, he became even more angry and said with hatred.

"I have studied for a hundred and eighty years in vain. I am not even as good as a singing prostitute. I am living a life of shame for Confucianism!"

Li Yuanbai said: "Kill yourself. I will tell the public that you regret your past mistakes and wash away your sins with death!"

"Old Mountain Chief, I don't want to die!"

Qin Zhong's eyes widened and his voice was shrill.

"Since you don't want to die..."

Li Yuanbai's words gave Qin Zhong hope, but he didn't know that the second half of the sentence was: "I will help you die!"

Click!

The muscles and bones of his neck were shattered, Qin Zhong's Yin spirit came out of his body, his face was ferocious and he kept cursing.

be deeply grieved!

Li Yuanbai pointed his finger, and suddenly his soul was gone. He casually left Qin Zhong's body under the tea tree.

"With the help of great scholars, this tea tree will surely flourish next year!"

"No, no!"

Du Si shook his head and said: "The innocent tea tree actually merged with the sycophant? In this case, this spiritual tea will not be drinkable."

"That makes sense!"

Li Yuanbai clapped his hands in admiration and swept Qin Zhong's corpse away with his hand, landing at the main entrance of Longchuan Academy.

…

Heshan.

The mountain is no more than a hundred feet high, and its original place of origin was unknown.

Since the hermit Qu Zhongshu built a thatched cottage here, masters often came here, and the reputation gradually spread.

Qu Zhongshu personally planted trees and flowers and spent more than ten years turning the originally barren hills into mountains with clear waters and lush green vegetation.

Later, cranes were tamed on the mountain. Common people often saw cranes flying around, so it was named Heshan.

A white-haired old man came to the pavilion at the foot of the mountain, urging the jade talisman in his hand.

After a while, a spiritual crane flew into the pavilion and held Qu Su on its back.

The old man rode the spirit crane, passed through the formation restrictions in the mountain forest, and landed outside a grass reed.

Qusu bowed and saluted and said: "My son, Qusu, please see my father!"

"come in."

A voice came from the reeds.

Qu Su pushed the door open and saw his father, the hermit scholar Qu Zhongshu, holding a Taoist scripture in his hand.

Qu Zhongshu has gray hair and looks to be in his forties or fifties. Standing with the gray-haired Qu Su, he looks more like a son.

"Sit down. Come here, father. What do you want?"

"Father, it will be my child's 140th birthday party in a few days. I came here specifically to invite my father to attend."

Qu Su coughed twice and panted, and said: "My child's health is getting worse and worse, and he has been infected with wind and cold recently..."

"If my father knows about it, he will definitely participate. I will refine some elixirs in a few days and send someone back home."

After Qu Zhongshu finished speaking, he found that his son was motionless and asked in confusion: "What else is there?"

ordinary!

Qu Su knelt on the ground and said, "Father, I don't want to die, please show me a way to live forever!"

"The world talks nonsense about immortality, how can a father give advice?"

Qu Zhongshu was lifeless. He had seen a lot of life and death, and he only had an only son.

Qu Su gritted his teeth and said, "I don't dare to be greedy...as long as my father introduces the Chongming Demon Fairy!"

"Fairy Fairy!"

Qu Zhongshu's expression changed slightly, he waved his hand to set up a sound-proof formation, and said sternly: "Where did you know about Senior Chongming?"

"My father asked this, so is it true?"

Qu Su's face was filled with joy. He had been stuck at the peak of the fourth level for decades, and with the guidance of the demon fairy, he would definitely be able to break through to the third level.

Then he told his father about the Cui family banquet and the jade slips dropped from heaven. With the support of caring people, in just a few days, the list had spread throughout the sixteen states of Daqian.

Qu Zhongshu calls himself a hermit and is not very sensitive to outside news. He just learned about it for the first time today.

Qu Zhongshu frowned and thought for a moment. He was not a court official, nor was he promoting the benefits of the demon clan, so there was no need to care.

There are often rumors in Daqian that someone is colluding with demons and someone is betraying the human race. As long as there is no evidence, it's okay.

Qu Zhongshu felt relieved, glanced at his son, and said, "Do you think the demon fairy will give you advice easily?"

Qu Su asked doubtfully: "If the father is valued by the demon immortal, the child will naturally be loyal. Isn't that enough?"

"Of course loyalty is not enough! There are countless people in the world who are willing to surrender to demons and immortals, just like the crucian carp crossing the river. Who will get your loyalty?"

Qu Zhongshu explained: "If you want to benefit from the demon fairy, loyalty is secondary. First of all, you must be a decent person with a good reputation!"

"Decent man?"

Qu Su doesn't understand what he means. The Qu family is also the home of the county magistrate. Is it difficult to understand and not decent enough?

"For example, Qin Zhong is number one on the list you mentioned."

Qu Zhongshu said: "In the early years, Qin Zhong asked the elders of the clan to write for him and gained a reputation as a child prodigy. Later, he relied on unscrupulous means to gain the title of County Examination Yuan. But his stupidity cannot be concealed after all. Live here, at the age of 100 and 40, you will not be able to win the imperial examination, and you will not be able to establish a career..."

Qu Su said confidently: "My child must be more talented than Qin Zhong!"

Qu Zhongshu glanced at his son and continued: "Although Qin Zhong is stupid, his grandfather once founded an academy in Wuzhou and taught and educated people for decades. The academy students are all over the world!"

"This is a decent person!"

"..."

Qu Su was immediately speechless. The Qu family had only developed since Qu Zhongshu, and was far inferior to the Qin family in Pingyang County.

Qu Zhongshu said: "There is also Wang Ming. His father is good at writing books. He once wrote twelve volumes of commentaries on the Five Classics, and many students regard him as a model! Otherwise, do you think Wang Ming can firmly sit in charge of the Department of Nuclear and Good Affairs?"

"Then...Then...How come my father is so valued by demons and immortals?"

Qu Su asked suspiciously. Before Qu Zhongshu, the Qu family was just a wealthy businessman, not even a scholarly family.

"My father is not like Qin and Wang, who rely on their ancestors to cast a shadow! When he was still young, my father saw through the dangers of officialdom, so he gave up the imperial examination and relied on the joy of mountains and rivers. He traveled to famous mountains and rivers, talked about yin and yang with Taoist priests, and talked with monks On reincarnation, interpreting scriptures with scholars..."

Qu Zhongshu said proudly: "My father has friends all over the three religions and is famous among the hermits. Can he be considered a decent person?"

Qusu suddenly realized that he turned out to be such a decent person.

Think about yourself again. For decades or hundreds of years, you have only practiced at home and have only a few friends.

The journey of the demon immortal was hopeless. His life was about to end before his eyes, and he had to turn into a handful of loess.

Qu Su suddenly had an idea. His father knelt down to the demon immortal and lived hundreds of years. He could kowtow to others, such as Emperor Jingtai.

Emperor Jingtai is now on the verge of breaking up with the aristocratic family. As the commander-in-chief of the county, the Qu family will definitely receive heavy rewards if they express their support in a clear-cut manner.

For example, Wang Bo'an is already a minister!

Thinking of this, Qu Su quickly informed his father of his thoughts. Without Qu Zhongshu's support, the Qu family would be of little value.

Who would have thought that Qu Zhongshu flatly refused.

"Supporting Jingtai is absolutely not allowed! We, the scholars, must never surrender to the imperial power. Wouldn't it mean that we have lost the character of a great Confucian!"

…

Chunfeng Tower.

Busy and lively.

Droughts, wars, and conflicts between kings and ministers had no impact at all.

"Brother Zhou, this is the spiritual wine found from the Liu family. It is said to have been brewed by the first ancestor of the Liu family for a thousand years."

Li Xun personally poured wine for Zhou Yi and said: "Then the Liu family boasted that their character was as strong as strong wine. As a result, a large army surrounded the city, and each one took the initiative to open the city gates, fearing that his fellow clan members would take the lead."

The Liu family is also a thousand-year-old family. Unlike the Cui family, they prospered by following the Taizu of Daqian.

The first ancestor of the Liu family was a close guard of Taizu, who was posthumously awarded the title of general. His descendants have passed it down to this day and are already a prominent family in the Qian dynasty.

Unfortunately, when Emperor Jingtai inspected the land, the Liu family, known as the Hidden King of Taizhou, was the first to do so.

Li Xun escorted thousands of criminals from the Liu family to Beijing yesterday. When he had some free time, he invited Zhou Yi to come to Chunfeng Tower for a wine tasting.

Zhou Yi drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, as if fire was flowing through his internal organs, and praised: "Yes, this wine has been aged for thousands of years, this wine is strong enough!"

Li Xun said happily: "As long as Brother Zhou likes it, I will have dozens of bottles of wine brought to Brother Zhou's home later. However, the vintage does not vary by a thousand years, but only by hundreds of years."

Cui Yuan and Chen Ying were on the side, busy pouring and drinking for themselves. Thousand-year-old spiritual wine is rare.

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Brother Xun has gained quite a reputation in recent times. There are reports in the capital of generals who confiscate houses and marshals who exterminate clans. When you come to Chunfeng Tower today, there are 30% less guests."

After Li Xun entered, many people showed fear on their faces and glanced at him from time to time.

"We also obey your Majesty's orders and the matter of checking the fields has been settled for the time being."

Li Xun whispered: "I returned to Beijing yesterday to report on my work. I heard Hong Shangshu say that we are going to arrest people according to the list. Those who surrender will be executed, and those who dare to disobey will be executed by the nine tribes!"

The list of demon clan has been circulated in Beijing. Hundreds of members of the Wang clan were killed in the past few days, causing the people to shout loudly.

No matter how scholars try to whitewash it, they talk about the equality of all beings and the harmony between humans and monsters. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a rape of a human being and a monster.

When Chen Ying heard this, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Catch them all?"

"We must arrest them all. Those nerds have long been displeased!"

Li Xun said coldly: "How many colleagues in the Demon Slaying Department have died in the hands of demons? How can a few articles resolve the blood feud? There will eventually be a battle between demons and humans!"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "Those people on the list have indeed been rumored to be lackeys of the demon clan!"

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Rumors are rumors, now it's demon clan certification!"

Chen Ying wondered: "The demon tribe planted spies in Daqian. Why was it suddenly exposed? Is there some conspiracy?"

"If you have any agenda, don't treat them as outsiders!"

Zhou Yi said: "These people usually preach the equality of all spirits and the harmony between humans and monsters every day. Now they have been recognized by the monster clan. Maybe it's not too late to be happy!"

As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into laughter.

Chen Ying said: "My father was worried about causing unrest. After all, that list..."

There are dozens of people on the Monster Clan's list, all of them are high-ranking third-level experts, and their combined strength is no less powerful than Xu Fengxian's. What's more, the relationship is complicated, many of them are real monks, and their masters will never sit idly by.

Since the list was circulated, Buddhist and Taoist experts have made many moves.

Zhou Yi learned from Sanwu that the Taoist League and Buddhism had actually reached an agreement and tried to protect the real monks on the list.

"I'm really looking forward to whoever takes the lead, preferably from Buddhism. Those bald donkeys from Bodhi County are not pleasing to my eye, so I just want to finish them off!"

Li Xun chuckled: "What's more, a general who confiscates a house is not as good as a general who destroys Buddhas?"

"Brother Xun, you are this!"

Cui Yuan gave a thumbs up and got to know Li Xun again.

"I can't compare to Brother Yuan, who single-handedly overthrew a thousand-year-old family, and then came back to become the head of the Cui family!"

Li Xun repeatedly praised: "It is rare to be so bold and resourceful. If he were placed in the court, he would definitely join the cabinet and worship the prime minister. That old man Yan can only write poetry. In terms of courage, he cannot compare with Brother Yuan!"

"We are just playing some tricks, nothing can compare to Brother Xun, fighting in the north and south, Jane is in the heart of the emperor!"

Li Xun said: "Inspecting the achievements of the landowners, plus the list of monsters, is enough for Brother Xun to be awarded the title of general. Then who is Wang Bo'an, a sycophant!"

The two were exchanging business blows, and the latest song from Jingzhong was played on the stage, "Expelling the Syndicate".

The story of the song is based on Wang Ming. It was compiled by the cabinet scholar and named by Emperor Jingtai. It became popular in Luo Jing as soon as it appeared.

Emperor Jingtai was not satisfied with destroying Wang Ming's entire family, he wanted him to be infamy for thousands of years.

As soon as this song came out, no one in the court dared to speak for the Monster Clan List, for fear of becoming the villain in the new song.

The oiran's voice was melodious and melodious. She pointed at the inhuman-looking shemale and shouted harshly.

"reward!"

Zhou Yi was very happy when he heard this. He waved a few banknotes and landed them on the stage. He was a master of alchemy, but he would lose his status if he took any more money.

The old bustard stood aside to wait on Zhou Yi and others. He quickly called the oiran to express his thanks.
