Chapter 114: Bai Family Seeks for Help

Meridian Gate.

The huge crowds of people fully reflect the lively nature of the people in Kyoto.

Directly in front are the officials and the royal family headed by the Prince of the Supervisory State. Since his rejuvenation, the number of public appearances of the Prince has obviously increased.

Emperor Jingtai did not show up, and was focused on cultivating Taoism in Wanshou Palace.

The sacrifice of prisoners at the Meridian Gate was a level worse than the sacrifice of prisoners at the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Emperor Jingtai had experienced this many times and no longer cared about it.

Zhou Yi and others mingled among the crowd, clasping their hands, stretching their necks, drifting with the crowd, no different from ordinary people.

It was noon.

The first to enter the city were the cavalry with black cavalry and black armor, led by the veteran general Gongsun Qi.

Gongsun Qi is the Duke of Zhuguo who was conferred by the late emperor. Xu Fengxian, who was once promoted by his Majesty, is known as holding up the sky and supporting the sea.

After Qianqiu passed by, a series of stainless steel prison cars were escorted.

When hundreds of prison cars passed by, they stopped in the square one by one to admire the prisoners. A steward followed the first prison car and began to read out the evidence of guilt.

"The Wuding demon monk serves as the envoy of the White Lotus Demon Sect, bewitching the people and killing the common people..."

After the charges were read out, the prince was asked to behead him.

"allow!"

As soon as the voice fell, two god-refining monks took Wuding Yao Monk down and killed him with a knife in front of the people.

Zhou Yi always pays attention to the aura in the field, and it turns out that he is not a demon monk without determination, but a demon in the Qi Refining Realm covered by illusion.

"It is indeed customary! Killing in public is just a matter of hiding it from ordinary people. The god-refining monks can see through it at a glance."

Zhou Yi counted them one by one and captured seven upper-level third-level demons alive, six were third-level demons, and only Wuding was a second-level demon.

Only two first-level warriors participated in the rebellion in Northern Xinjiang. The great wizard Yanhe of the Beirong barbarian tribe died in the siege and massacre by the Immortal Bureau, the Demon Lord Yaksha fled to the outer realm, and the remaining refining gods did not exceed twenty.

General Gongsun was able to capture seven alive, which is an astonishing ratio.

"Seven of you, here comes another immortal weapon, some earth-shattering Tiangang supernatural powers! Suck away..."

Zhou Yi has placed six clones in the prison, transformed into six executed prisoners, distributed in departments A, B, and C.

You can cultivate fifty years of Taoism every day, and with the escape of the deity, you can kill seven upper-level third-level demons.

After that, every day at the prison time, Zhouyi would wait early.

Ten days have passed and there is no Jiazi Prison mission.

One month passed and still nothing.

One season passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhou Yi was completely desperate.

"My magical weapon is gone?"

Fortunately, after 4,500 years of Taoism growth, his magic power was about to exceed 20,000 years, so he could barely soothe his injured heart.

During this period, Zhou Yi visited more than a dozen god-refining experts, participated in several gatherings, and initially integrated into the circle of monks.

…

Zhuangyuan Hall.

When you enter the door, you first see Yan Chixiao on the left and Qin Qiong on the right, who are majestic.

There is no rule among Daqian scholars not to talk about strange things and disturb spirits.

Zhou Yi recognized it at a glance. It was an authentic work by Zhang Cheng, and it was rumored that the value had been sold to thousands of taels.

Shopkeeper He greeted him with a happy face: "Mr. Zhou, you are finally here!"

Originally, there was a description of the realm of cultivation in the Demon Searching Record.

Shopkeeper He reads it every day, and now his knowledge is not just ordinary. He then deliberately inquires about the students of Jixia Academy, and he knows a lot about the world of cultivation.

When he learned that Zhou Yi was a new god-refiner, the traveler said that the latest version of the girdle was fair and square, and he named it "the work of gods".

After asking around in many bookstores, they no longer dared to pirate copies unscrupulously. Anyway, Lu Tiancheng's revised edition sold best, so why bother with the gods?

"Fortunately, I have finally finished writing."

The Book of Changes has stopped selling Taoist scriptures for a long time. The reason why I came here today is to search for demon records. After several revisions, it finally meets the conditions for publication.

One hundred and eighty pages, with more than 300 kinds of ninth-level to sixth-level demons drawn on the front and back of each page.

Each type of monster recorded on the page has three or five sentences explaining its weaknesses, as well as what is obtained after hunting, which part is beneficial to eat, how much it is worth, etc.

There are more than fifty pages, all of which record methods of hunting monsters, including but not limited to various traps, poisoning with bait, beatings and sneak attacks...

"As a result, the appeal is greatly increased, and the printing cost is reduced to less than 500 yuan."

Shopkeeper He said: "If it is printed on rough paper, one or two hundred words will be enough."

The rough paper that Shopkeeper He mentioned was books pirated by other bookstores. He understood what Zhou Yi wanted and spread the book as much as possible.

"It would be great."

Zhou Yi reluctantly took out a stack of redemption tickets and handed them to shopkeeper He.

"Please use Guitang's channels to send 50,000 copies of Monster Searching Records to various villages and towns."

Zhuangyuantang has bookstores in several states, and 50,000 taels are enough to deliver to every village and town. Zhou Yi made this decision after careful consideration for several days.

To make the already poor family even worse, they have to drink peach leaves to satisfy their hunger again tonight.

"Mr. Zhou is very kind, but it's a pity that Zhuangyuan Hall can't do anything. Now it's getting more and more chaotic outside. Except for the bookstores around Luojing, others are closing one after another."

Shopkeeper He returned the banknote and said: "A few days ago, the team transporting books in Xiangxian County was robbed by bandits."

Xiang County is located in Luozhou, and it can be said that it is at the feet of the emperor.

"My boss invited experts from the Qinghong Sword Sect to go to Xiangxian County to retrieve the books, but when they arrived at the bandits' den, they found that they were villagers down the mountain who couldn't afford to eat."

"Those carts of books have been used as firewood by bandits. Even if they capture and sell them all, they won't be able to make enough money."

"In the end, the owner's book was gone, and it cost money to hire experts. In the end, the villagers were compensated with several carts of rice and noodles."

Zhou Yi frowned slightly. In recent days, he had been waiting for the seven demons, or he was revising the demon search records, and he was not very familiar with the situation outside Luojing.

The clones killed demons from all over the country, but I heard about some disasters such as droughts and floods.

The area of ​​Dagan is vast, and there are droughts and floods every year. It is hard to say whether it is more or less than in previous years without careful comparison.

"Mr. Zhou, please come in."

Shopkeeper He came to the corner and whispered: "Mr., you don't know that since the war in the northern border stopped, the outside has become more and more chaotic."

"I heard that the evil demons and monsters who originally rebelled in the northern border have split up and are doing evil everywhere..."

Zhou Yi finalized the publication of the Sou Yao Lu and left Zhuangyuan Hall with a heavy heart.

...

At the door of Qingfeng Cottage.

Bai Xingye paced back and forth anxiously, asking Mao Jiu squatting on the door from time to time.

"Mao Daxian, when will Mr. Zhou come back?"

"Ah——"

Mao Jiu heard the word "Daxian" and showed an extremely comfortable expression, wishing that Bai Xingye would not listen to him.

"It's almost time. Zhang Cheng has been away these days, so I'll go home as soon as I get off work. What name did you call me just now?"

"Cat Fairy, Cat Fairy, Fairy Cat..."

Bai Xingye understood Mao Jiu's temperament in just a few words, and he called her more than ten times in a row.

"Ah——"

Mao Jiu felt dizzy and his legs were weak, and he felt like he was floating in the air.

Luo Li, who was practicing sword in the yard, couldn't bear to see Mao Jiu's embarrassing appearance, so he covered his eyes with a black scarf and continued to practice sword.

Zhou Yi saw Bai Xingye and dropped the clouds.

"Mr. Bai is here, but what happened?"

"Mr. Zhou, I beg you to help the Bai family."

Bai Xingye's legs were weak, and he was about to kneel down. Zhou Yi quickly used magic to help him up.

"What happened?"

Bai Xingye took a breath and told the reason, which was actually related to Zhang Cheng who had gone out and had not returned.

A month ago, Bai Yutang and Li Hongling went to Xiang County to investigate a case, but they didn't return for half a month.

The six gates sent out a head of police to look for him, but he also disappeared. Realizing that something was wrong, they reported the matter to the Demon Slaying Division.

The Bai family and the Marquis' Mansion could not wait for the Demon Slaying Division to investigate, so they sent out experts to investigate and asked Zhang Cheng for help.

Zhang Cheng could not sit idly by when his disciple disappeared, so he asked for leave to go to Xiang County, but he never returned.

"Senior Zhang failed to come back, and no one from the Demon Slaying Division took over the matter. The Prince of Yan's Mansion said that Senior Qin Qiong was in seclusion. I have no other choice but to ask Mr. Zhou for help."

Bai Xingye said, "I don't ask Mr. Zhou to help, but I just ask for help to contact a few experts. The Bai family is willing to offer everything."

Zhou Yi pondered for a moment and said, "There is no time to lose, I will go to Xiang County now."

Moo——

The divine cow was in tune with him and walked out of the yard.

Mao Jiu jumped on the forehead of the divine cow, but was grabbed by Zhou Yi's neck and returned to the yard.

"My mother said, wherever the immortal goes, I will go!"

"You and Luo Li stay at home, and we will be back in a few days."

When Zhou Yi sat down, the divine bull disappeared in a few steps.
