Chapter 53 The Dust Has Settled

Longevity Palace.

Green smoke curls up.

Emperor Jingtai was leaning on the soft couch, his eyes slightly narrowed, listening to the lecture of Xuanhua Master of Lingzhen Guan.

"...there are five out of three hundred and sixty degrees in the Zhoutian, and human qi points correspond to it. Human's nine orifices, five hidden parts, and twelve joints mean that there are three yin and yang in the hands and feet, all of which are connected to the weather..."

Master Xuanhua talks about "The True Jade Book of Daomiao Cave". This sutra is best at using Qi to nourish the body and prolong life.

There are other Taoist masters in the palace, arranged on both sides, and they are intoxicated every time they hear the mysterious things.

Eunuch Chu, who was waiting on the side, moved his ears slightly, and then he heard Emperor Jingtai say a few words.

"That's it for today. We'll listen to you tomorrow. Go down."

Emperor Jingtai frowned slightly, waved his hand to order the Taoist priests to leave, and said, "Has it spread throughout the world?"

Eunuch Chu said: "Many academies have posted posters to promote it, and it is irreversible."

"Hmph! A group of scholars are quite courageous."

Emperor Jingtai said: "I have summoned the King of Chu to take charge of the Demon Slayer Division. I don't want to see such scandals happen again."

"yes."

"Command the prince to issue a decree to sin against yourself and spread it throughout the world."

"yes."

"Tell the historian how to write about this matter."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Lord Lu will understand."

Emperor Jingtai calmed down a little and looked at the two books on the corner of the table.

Among the many Taoist scriptures, there are only two volumes of "Xian Shu": one volume on punishment, and one volume on monster slaying.

Emperor Jingtai suddenly asked: "Daban, which one of these two books do you think is better?"

"I think whichever one Your Majesty likes is the best."

Emperor Jingtai picked up the torturer and said: "The realm of this book is far beyond that of Monster Killing. Unfortunately, the intention is too correct and cannot be used by me."

Eunuch Chu smiled and said: "Wang Hanlin is a contemporary hero, and the books he wrote are naturally excellent."

"You old cunning guy!"

Emperor Jingtai squeezed it gently, and the torturer turned into flying ashes, and said: "Go and take care of the tail, don't let anyone come to Kyoto to stain my reputation."

"According to the order."

Eunuch Chu bowed and stepped back.

…

The ruins of Zhoujiacun.

The soul refining formation has been broken, and the city god is trying to extradite the ghost.

Some ghosts who are seriously infected by evil spirits need to go to the City God's Temple to undergo the baptism of incense.

Although the process is uncomfortable, it is better than being reincarnated as a pig, dog, cow, or sheep, and it may even take dozens of reincarnations to escape.

Zhou Yi reined in his horse and stood in the distance, watching the ghosts of his parents and relatives drift away.

"The cause and effect here is settled."

A sense of ease and ease spreads through both the inside and the outside, and the spiritual thoughts jump out of the air, ready to come out.

Zhou Yi spent several years to find the Yin God, but his existence can be vaguely sensed. As long as he accumulates and cultivates it over time, the day when the Yin God will leave his body will come.

Yan Chixiao was riding a scaly horse, and the white gauze on his chest was soaked with blood. Pang Jiang, the commander of the demon-slaying capital, was at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, and he almost split him in two with a knife.

"Brother Zhou, the transfer order has arrived. Yan is leaving."

"This sword is called Demon Slayer, so I gave it to Brother Yan to help him slay demons in the future."

Zhou Yi took out the demon-slaying sword and offered it with both hands.

At this time, Yan Chixiao's reputation spread all over the world. Even heroes and heretics admired his reputation.

"Hahaha! You're welcome, Yan. I'll wait for you to come to Jinhua for a drink."

Yan Chixiao took the demon-slaying sword, shook the reins, and the scaly horse jumped several feet and galloped away.

Because of his meritorious service in exposing the Guning County Sheriff's case, Yan Chixiao was promoted from the Demon-Slaying School Captain to the Chief Catcher of the Six Gates of Jinhua County. In fact, he was promoted openly and covertly, completely eliminating the Demon-Slaying Department system.

Yan Chixiao originally planned to resign and go into seclusion, but after Zhou Yi's persuasion, he accepted the transfer order.

When Zhou Yi waited for all the souls of Zhoujia Village to be extradited, he annihilated the ruins with one sword.

…

Jingzhou official road.

A group of soldiers escorted the prison car, rushing against the wind, and headed for Luojing along the official road.

There were more than a dozen prison cars, the one at the front was Guning County Governor Zhao Gongfu, followed closely by the Demon Slayer Division Commander Pang Jiang.

Zhao Gongfu sat cross-legged in the prison car, recharging his energy, as if he had no fear of life or death.

Pang Jiang's face was pale, his right arm was broken at the root, and the chain of confinement passed through his three limbs and Dantian, unable to regulate any true energy.

"Old thief Zhao, it's all you who dragged me into this..."

"Guan Guan, you want to be executed in Lingchi..."

"Your Majesty, thirty years ago, I accompanied you to suppress the rebel army at Dasheng Pass..."

"..."

Pang Jiang, a fourth-level martial artist, maintained enough physical strength to curse even though he was seriously injured and restrained.

I shouted for two days from Dalao, Guning County, to Luozhou, but still no rest.

Zhao Gongfu glanced at Pang Jiang with disdain, despising the stupid martial artist in his heart, hugged the Wanmin Umbrella in his arms tightly, and continued to close his eyes and rest.

call out!

A sharp arrow hit the escorting soldier.

Dozens of men in black rushed out from both sides of the official road, their true energy flowing freely, and they killed all the soldiers in an instant. Then the prisoners were beheaded one by one, in an orderly manner, without saying a word during the whole process, only the sounds of begging for mercy and the sound of heads falling to the ground.

Finally it was Zhao Gongfu's turn, and the man in black was about to stab him to death with a sword.

Zhao Gongfu opened the Wanmin umbrella, and each one signed his own name on the umbrella, including the red fingerprints of those who couldn't write their names.

"This father-in-law, I have an umbrella for all people. According to Taizu's law, anyone holding this umbrella will not be punished unless he is a treason! Do you want to go against Taizu's law?"

"Master Zhao has such good eyesight, no wonder he could commit such a big case..."

The man in black slashed with his sword energy, and the Ten Thousand People Umbrella shattered into pieces and flew into the air. The name fingerprints on it fell to the ground.

"How dare the eunuchs disobey Taizu's laws!?"

Zhao Gongfu's face changed. He originally planned to go to the capital, admit all the charges, and then save his life with the Taizu law.

His Majesty is a saint, and he will not violate the Taizu law for himself.

"We don't care about the public opinion!"

The man in black slashed at Zhao Gongfu's neck with a sword, and suddenly his whole body froze, as if he had become a mud and stone sculpture.

"Do you care about Yan's opinion?"

Zhou Yi walked over step by step, with an imposing manner like a mountain and a sea.

The eunuch's heartbeat accelerated, sweat dripped on his forehead, and he said respectfully: "I listen to what Yan said!"

Zhou Yi waved his hand to collect the paper scraps on the ground, and the spiritual fire ignited and turned into ashes.

The sword flashed, and Zhao Gongfu's soul flew away.

When Zhou Yi was far away, the eunuch dared to move, and carefully checked that there was no hidden hand in his body, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Godfather, this Yan Chixiao is fake."

"Is it important?"

Seeing his son's bewildered face, the father-in-law snorted coldly: "Prince Chu is so murderous that he sent this plague god to the Six Gates. What qualifications do we have to question it?"

"In this world, as long as you are strong enough, even if you say Yan Chixiao is a woman, we will believe it!"

…………

Luojing.

A few miles away, the towering city wall can be seen from a distance.

A chestnut horse's four hooves are flying, and the dust splashes when it lands, as if it is walking on the clouds.

Baptized by magic power along the way, the chestnut horse's physical strength and endurance have increased several times, and it has begun to transform into a monster.

Zhou Yi has been away from Kyoto for several months. Now that he sees it, he suddenly feels like a wanderer returning home.

Compared with the chaos outside and the rampant demons, Zhou Yi naturally prefers the stable Luojing.

Soon he arrived at the city gate and found a line of carriages pulling wood parked at the gate. For some reason, they were blocked and there was a long queue behind them.

Zhou Yi had a sign from the Demon Slayer Division, so he didn't need to queue up and could go through the side door.

"Can't go through, can't go through..."

Just then, he heard the gate officer open his five fingers and wave his hands to stop him: "Without the cargo permit, I can't take the responsibility!"

The owner of the caravan didn't seem to be a local, and he was so anxious that he turned around in circles. The master beside him whispered a few words in his ear.

The owner's eyes lit up, his sleeves shook, and a silver ingot of five taels fell to the ground.

The lieutenant stepped on the silver with ease, narrowed his eyes, and said: "You don't look like a bad person, go in quickly, so as not to block the back."

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir."

The owner waved his hand, and the carriages behind him moved forward slowly, and each carriage was loaded with several pieces of wood as thick as a man's embrace.

Zhou Yi saw all this, shook his head and was about to enter the city, when he suddenly sensed that there was life in the wood on the carriage passing by him.

"Huh?"

Qi-watching technique, spiritual eye technique, there was indeed a person hidden in the wood, and his strength was not weak.

Zhou Yi frowned slightly, and a wisp of magic power turned into a sharp blade, cutting a circle in the middle of the wood, and then cut the axle.

Boom...

The axle broke, the wood rolled down, one of the wood cracked, and the person hiding inside was immediately exposed.

Woo——

This person had strange tattoos on his face and dozens of braids on his head.

Without thinking about why the accident happened, he immediately issued a woooo signal, and the wood on other carriages burst one after another.

"It's a barbarian! Close the city gate..."

Before the lieutenant finished speaking, a palm wind came, and the lazy donkey rolled over to avoid it.

"Bold!"

With a loud shout, the originally noisy city gate was silent in an instant, and only the panicked people could be seen speaking silently.

The light and space were distorted, and there was a faint sound of horse riding fighting.

The second level of martial arts, the internal and external meet, affecting the external scene!

Puff puff puff puff...

A series of vomiting blood sounds.

The city gate, which was once again filled with people, was left with only a dozen corpses, nailed to the city wall with their eyes open.

Zhou Yi, with his hands in his pockets, leaned on his chestnut horse, watching everything that happened.

Kyoto seemed to be uneasy.
