Chapter 73: The Monster Hunting Book Is Complete

Jingtai fifty-three years.

winter.

The north wind blows and snowflakes flutter.

Deshengfang is a slum, and there are many homeless people on the streets.

Long Qijun's rebellion in southern Xinjiang became more and more violent, and finally affected Luo Jing.

Ancient armies were strictly disciplined if they did not burn, kill, and loot. Don't expect that there will be no mistakes. The soldiers who have just left the battlefield will not obey the restraints after winning the battle, and it is even harder to restrain them after the defeat. Anyway, it is the common people who suffer.

Refugees from southern Xinjiang speak a dialect that the officials cannot understand, and gather in the shelters to wait for the gruel distributed every day.

The title of "Inserting the List" is acceptable just for listening. Coupled with the portrayals in many movies and TV dramas, it seems that there are good beauties in it.

In fact, even those who are slightly attractive have food to eat. It is difficult to tell the difference between men and women kneeling on the roadside selling their bodies, and it is difficult to distinguish between humans and ghosts.

Zhou Yi couldn't see the misery at first, and the hearsay and memories of watching movies were not the same as the reality, so he bought a lot of food and distributed it.

Three or five days later, a large group of young and middle-aged refugees gathered outside Qingfeng Xiaozhu, but the old, weak, sick and disabled could not squeeze in.

Some refugees who were extremely hungry climbed over the courtyard wall to steal things, but they were distraught after taking just one step.

The poisonous miasma that the peach tree demon can emit is just a small and inconspicuous trick of the peach tree. In order to live a stable life, it works hard every day to think about how to realize its self-worth.

The refugees died, which attracted officials to investigate. When they saw the sign of Zhou Yi Demon Slayer Division, they took away more than a dozen corpses without even asking.

Zhou Yi sighed, went to the execution chamber and killed more than a dozen demons in a row before finally feeling relieved.

The tasks in the torture chamber are several times more arduous than before.

The rebel monks captured from the battlefield in southern Xinjiang were directly thrown into the Demon Slayer Division for treason without interrogation by the Criminal Department.

After Xu Fengxian's rebellion, many demons and monsters joined the Dragon Cavalry Army one after another at the invitation of each other, trying to advance their spiritual practice by taking advantage of the separatist regime.

For example, the leader of Baiwen Cave in Lengfu Mountain who was just killed was good at the heretical magic of spreading plague. He served as a vanguard mage in the Dragon Cavalry Army. He killed tens of thousands of soldiers in a row and affected many times more innocent people. .

This plague method was of little use to monks, but it was a weapon on the battlefield. In the end, the Immortal Pension Department sent two third-level experts to capture alive the master of the Bai plague cave who was worthy of the sixth level.

Zhou Yi learned from the memories of the monks in southern Xinjiang that after Xu Ye fled to southern Xinjiang, he made many friends and became brothers with capable people and strangers from the three mountains and five mountains.

Because of Xu Ye's outgoing character, politeness, and non-discrimination against heretics, many monks who were cultivating in the mountains were invited to come out to help Xu Fagan.

Daqian's army suffered repeated setbacks, largely due to Xu Ye.

"Xu Fengxian is just a martial artist and cannot become a great weapon. However, Xu Ye is really blessed with the luck of the black python. If he can turn into a dragon, he will soar into the sky. No wonder he provoked two first-class men to intercept and kill him!"

Zhou Yi returned to the Ministry of Things and completed the "Monster Search Record" in detail with the demon clan data he had just recorded.

"Monster Search" records the bloodlines and branches of more than a hundred common demon clans that have transformed from ninth grade to first grade. You can check the page number from the previous catalog. Among them, foxes, snakes, turtles, birds, jackals, ligers and other categories, from ninth grade to first grade. The bloodline changes of each level of the fourth grade are recorded in detail.

In addition, there is the Department of Strange Demons, which records more than 300 species that have been killed, heard, and consulted. Only the appearance and special magical powers are drawn, and the Tongxin Demon is included in this list.

Due to the existence of the demon illustrated book, Zhou Yi understands the demon clan better than they themselves.

Many monsters have extremely secret weaknesses and habits. For example, wolf monsters are generally afraid of collars, and will be frightened when they see them.

This book already has thousands of pages, full of pictures and texts, and is thicker than a dictionary.

"Some are overly pursuing a large and comprehensive book. For a book with thousands of pages, the printing cost will be more than ten taels."

Zhou Yi put away the manuscript, transcribed it again, eliminated redundancy and reduced the number of pages, and then went to Zhuangyuantang to discuss engraving.

Approaching the lower value.

Li Xun informed each department of the Department of Materials one by one and went to Chunfeng Tower to gather together in the evening.

Li Xun, who has been in the Ministry of Things for twenty-two years and is forty-five years old, is ready to leave his comfort zone and join the staff of King Li Le of Yan as the chief clerk.

Zhang Cheng's reputation was big enough, and he had a blood connection that could not be reached by eight poles. He was promoted from a low-ranking clerk to the eighth-grade chief clerk of the palace.

"Take care of yourself!"

Zhang Cheng patted Li Xun on the shoulder and said, "You see monsters and monsters every day in the Ministry of Things. At least all the people alive are human beings. When you go out, you will find that all the monsters alive are monsters and monsters, and all the people are dead!"

"Junior, please remember the instructions."

Li Xun bowed and saluted, and asked Xiangxiang, the new oiran of Chunfeng Tower, to sing "A Big Trouble in the Golden Palace" for Zhang Cheng.

The previous oiran, Miss Qingqing, has become a thing of the past, and now the most popular one is Miss Xiangxiang. If Zhou Yi had to describe her appearance, she probably looks similar.

Zhou Yi found an opening and handed over a jade token: "Brother Xun, if you go to Prince Yan's Mansion and want to be promoted quickly, scold your own brother more. If there is a crisis, just break the jade pendant..."

"Um?"

Li Xun didn't quite understand, and when he was about to ask in detail, he found that Zhou Yi was already chatting with his colleagues about Miss Xiangxiang's singing skills.

"My singing skills are just okay, but my mouth is a bit loud!"

"Lao Li, what's the relationship between singing ability and mouth size?"

“Isn’t singing skill just a matter of words?”

"..."

Zhou Yi looked at the gentle Lao Li carefully, sighed and shook his head. No wonder Zhang Cheng said every day that there are no good people in the world!

After a night of partying, the Mononobu department lost a colleague who could barely be considered a friend.

Zhang Cheng often mocked Li Xun on weekdays, but after he left, he often missed him, muttering about wishful thinking and daydreaming, and saying that human power cannot defeat destiny, so why bother struggling...

Just a few days after Li Xun left, someone entered the Ministry of Things. His surname was Li and his name was Mu. He looked ordinary.

It is said that he had made great contributions in the Six Gates. His lifelong wish was to enter the Ministry of Things and retire. For this, he was willing to wait in line for more than ten years.

"Interesting..."

Zhou Yi came to the Zhuangyuan Hall with the revised 689-page Sou Yao Lu.

When Manager He saw Zhou Yi, his smile was more brilliant than before.

"Zhi Mo, take Mr. Zhou to the private room, I will go to get the tribute Mingqian Longjing from the host."

This Zhi Mo is not the same Zhi Mo. Since Zhou Yi first came, there have been two Zhi Mos.

Scholars pay attention to the fragrance of red sleeves. When they are poor, they read books in the Zhuangyuan Hall. Zhi Mo has become their holy white rose.

Among them, there are paranoid or sentimental scholars. After passing the imperial examination, the first thing they do is to come to the Zhuangyuan Hall and marry "Zhi Mo" as a concubine.

Zhuangyuan Hall is happy to see this happen. The real value of "Zhi Mo" is not high, but it is particularly important in the eyes of certain people. It is great to be able to maintain relationships.

"Mr. Zhou, your recent calligraphy is really amazing. There are already great scholars praising it."

Manager He made tea happily and said, "It's not those who do things for money. It's a real great scholar from the Jixia Academy. It's a fairy-like figure."

Zhou Yi took a sip of the tribute Mingqian Longjing, which was much worse than peach leaves.

Only in terms of the fairy air, the fairy peach tree is better than 99% of the spiritual teas. It's a pity that you can't drink it every day, or you will pull the fairy peach tree bare.

"How do you praise it?"

"The great scholar said that your calligraphy can evoke spirit. To evoke spirit means to increase one's spirit, how to say it..."

Manager He is just a mortal after all. Although he has read a lot and has a wide range of knowledge, he is only limited to the lower third level.

I can't describe it, so I just use the most direct method.

"A copybook has risen to one hundred taels!"
