Chapter 9: Calling the Wind and Rain
Demon Slayer Division.
Zhou Yi came to the outside of the No. 13 prison of Yizi.
A dozen demon slayers were on duty outside the prison. When they saw Zhou Yi coming, the leading silver-armored youth shouted.
"Stop! Who are you?"
"Reporting to the captain, I am Zhou Yi, the criminal of the No. 13 prison of the prison. This is the badge."
Zhou Yi showed his identity badge: "Today, I received an assignment from Captain Xu to deal with the demons in the No. 13 prison of Yizi."
"Xu Yun?"
"Yes."
"The No. 13 prison of Yizi is temporarily closed. You can take a day off today."
"Thank you, captain."
Zhou Yi turned around and left with a happy face.
Hearing the conversation in the prison, the black water snake was scared to death, and it should have died from the escaped demon and so on.
Before, he found that a master of the Demon Slayer Division came and killed the snake demon in the prison directly. He was still thinking about how to get away with it, but the three of them went to chase the dragon soul directly.
The subsequent demon-slaying lieutenant was much weaker than Zhou Yi, and he escaped from the cell quietly.
Now that he was dealing with demons as a punisher, there should be no major loopholes.
The Demon-Slaying Division was Zhou Yi's treasure land, and he would never leave unless it was absolutely necessary.
For three consecutive days, the dungeon of the Demon-Slaying Division was turned upside down, and all the punishers went through the demon mirror.
Zhou Yi was also called in for questioning several times, but they were all demon-slaying lieutenants.
The status of the punisher in the Demon-Slaying Division was similar to that of a errand boy, and he had signed a contract to sell himself. He had to undergo several tests before entering the Demon-Slaying Division, so no one suspected him.
In the end, nothing unusual was found. Except for the escaped dragon soul, the Demon-Slaying Division did not suffer any losses, so the matter was left unresolved.
"Old Zhou, get up, it's time to report today."
Zhou Yi heard the voice and woke up from his doze.
The punishment room was still dark, but Zhou Yi could now see in the dark.
He is the longest-lived torturer in the torture room. Everyone is his descendant, so everyone calls him Lao Zhou.
Roll call, there are now more than 80 people in the Jiazi Division.
The speed at which the torturers die is far less than the speed of replenishment.
"The main task today is to deal with a group of water monsters, the most important of which is... Prison No. 35 of Jia."
Captain Xu glanced at the list of torturers: "Zhou Yi, you are an old torturer. This time it's a big one. I'll give you three days. Make sure every knife is accurate and don't waste a single cent."
"Got it."
Zhou Yi felt something in his heart, maybe it was a surprise.
He opened Prison No. 35 of Jia and saw the dragon nailed to the wall by a spear. It was indeed an old acquaintance.
The soul and magic power of the Bibo Dragon King were all sealed. After a few days, he could barely open his eyes.
The moment Zhou Yi walked into the cell, the Bibo Dragon King's eyes were red.
If it weren't for the seal of the mouth and nose, it would definitely put all the vicious curses accumulated for thousands of years on him.
"I didn't expect that we would meet again after just a few days."
Zhou Yi is not a talkative person. The dragon is covered with treasures all over its body. There must be a lieutenant watching it secretly.
The torture instruments of Prison No. 35 are also specially made, otherwise the dragon skin cannot be cut.
Two days later, the Bi Bo Dragon King was extremely depressed and his soul flew away, leaving behind dragon scales, dragon skin, dragon claws, dragon teeth, dragon eyes, dragon gallbladder...
Every time Zhou Yi peeled off something, in order to ensure freshness, he would send it to the Ministry of Things, which caused a group of people to marvel.
Marveled at the treasures of the dragon, unlike the last time the Black Evil Demon Lord, who could not squeeze out three or two taels of oil.
Marveled at Zhou Yi's skill, worthy of being a knife in the torture room, look at this dragon scale, it doesn't need to be processed, it can be directly refined into dragon scale armor.
After the thousand pages of the Demon Atlas, the dragon is far behind the Black Evil Demon Lord.
Get reward: call the wind and rain!
One of the thirty-six Tiangang spells, it can summon strong winds, bring down heavy rain, and also make clouds disappear and rain disperse. Among them, blizzards, hail, typhoons, etc., all belong to the category of cloud-making and rain-making.
Compared with the method of calling clouds and rain, the accompanying improvement of water and wind magic realms is not worth mentioning.
"It's a pity that Tiangang magic is not one of those great magical powers that reverse yin and yang and shift stars, but controlling wind and rain and celestial phenomena can also be a stream of immortal magic!"
The skills and magical powers rewarded by the Demonic Atlas are not only magic books, but also cultivation insights.
Zhou Yi spent some time to reach the realm of great success.
The dragon broke into the prison and escaped. Even if it was finally executed, it also gave a warning to the Demon Slayer Division, which had been feared by demons and monsters for a hundred years and became lazy and complacent.
Moreover, no one who fought with the dragon in prison was caught, so the Demon Slayer Division increased the inspection of the prison room.
The Taoist master arranged a magnetic array that was not one of the five elements, and the Buddhist master blessed the inscription to suppress the demons. Unfortunately, more than a year had passed, and the hidden master was still not found.
This had no effect on Zhou Yi.
He killed demons and demons every day and received rewards, and the proportion of Taoism was increasing.
There were countless pages in the demon and demon illustrations, but there were only a few hundred common demons. It was said that some demons with special talents would not be sent to the Demon Slaying Department, but would be dealt with in other places.
During this period, Zhou Yi killed a lizard demon from the Yizi Prison and obtained the technique of changing appearance. He could turn into anyone he saw, which reminded him of the magic girl in a movie in his previous life.
If the magic girl came to Dagan, she would definitely die miserably. There were too many spells that could change appearance among the demons and demons. The cultivators relied on the breath of the soul to judge the truth.
After Zhou Yi learned to transform, he deceived a prisoner with illusion and killed the demon in the prison himself. After getting the reward, he lifted the illusion of the walker.
In the illusion, he personally killed the demon, and the real demon was indeed dead.
There was only a brief feeling of dizziness during the period, and in the torture chamber with countless demons and monsters, it did not arouse any suspicion.
In this way, the reward for the demon illustration doubled.
Zhou Yi helped to kill the demon, which was equivalent to relieving the crisis for his colleagues.
There were almost people who died at the hands of demons every day. Among them, there were several times when the demons had desperate secrets and wanted to drag Zhou Yi to die together, but they were crushed by thousands of years of Taoism.
After nearly two years of accumulation, Zhou Yi's Taoism broke through 5,000 years, barely reaching the minimum condition for performing the Tiangang Taoist technique "Calling the Wind and Calling the Rain".
Calling the wind and calling the rain is in the middle and lower reaches of the Tiangang Thirty-Six Methods, and it still requires 5,000 years of Taoism. For example, the great supernatural powers such as mediating the creation, mending the sky and bathing the sun, which change the world, require at least 100,000 years of Taoism.
Zhou Yi could not imagine what realm he would reach after practicing the Huangting Taoist Scripture for 100,000 years.
Zhou Yi killed the snake demon in front of him and gained one year of cultivation. Since reaching a thousand years of cultivation, the rewards given by Bingzi Prison have become worse and worse.
His spiritual sense swept through the prison and found that there was no secret surveillance, which was a good time to experiment with Tiangang magic.
Zhou Yi stepped on Tiangang, pinched the magic formula with his hands, and chanted.
"Call the wind and rain!"
...
The 46th year of Jingtai.
Summer.
More than half of the 123 counties in the 16 prefectures of Dagan did not see a drop of rain.
In the year of severe drought, evil spirits will take advantage of the situation to cause chaos.
The naked demon sect in Feiyun Prefecture and the white lotus demon in Jingchang Prefecture used evil methods to deceive the people and led refugees to rebel.
Among them, the most serious one was Wei Prefecture, where the evil master Yaksha Demon Lord rose up, and his disciples were called the Eight Heavenly Kings, sweeping across the five counties in a short time.
The Fengxian Department, the Hulong Department, the Nei Shi Department, and the Zhan Yao Department all sent immortal masters to suppress the rebels and slay demons.
It is easy to eliminate the evil spirits, but it is difficult to eliminate the evil spirits in people's hearts.
The drought cannot be alleviated, the land has no harvest, and the people have no choice but to rebel.
The gods of land, city, mountain and water can consume the power of incense to bring rain, but various rules were set at the beginning of the canonization by Dagan. Without the order of the imperial court, any god who privately brings rain is considered a great rebellion, and is suspected of gathering incense without authorization, and the mountain and temple will be destroyed.
A month ago, the land god of Jiangning County took pity on the people in the territory and brought rain without authorization, secretly changing the underground river to irrigate the farmland.
The immortal master of the Fengxian Division descended the next day, suppressed the land god of Jiangning County, dispersed the spirits on the spot, and destroyed the land god temple.
For a time, the gods in various places in Dagan were shocked and no longer dared to respond to the believers' prayers for rain and sacrifices.
Shinto practice does not emphasize talent, and progress is rapid, but it relies heavily on incense faith.
At the beginning of the drought, various believers offered sacrifices and prayed for rain, and the power of incense increased significantly.
The imperial court did not issue the Yellow Book of Rainfall, the gods did not dare to respond, and believers continued to leave.
The incense was fading, and everyone was anxious.
