Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 3 The Demon-Suppressing Zhengyang Sword
  Shen Yi always felt that this demon-subduing sword technique was unusual.

It only took the predecessor three to five years to master the bone-penetrating grapple to a great degree, but when practicing this sword technique, he still concentrated on it, and it took eight years to achieve a small achievement.

It took a full thirty-three years to reach perfection and realize a glimmer of inspiration.

If this aura can be completely captured, the effect will definitely not be comparable to that of ordinary martial arts.

His thoughts moved slightly, and all ten years of demon longevity were poured into the demon subduing sword technique.

[You continue to hone your already perfect demon-subduing sword skills. In the blink of an eye in ten years, that aura becomes clearer and clearer. Unfortunately, your qualifications are mediocre and you really can’t figure it out.]

"..."

"This is the end?"

Shen Yi felt stuffy in her heart, this was a whole ten years! It’s still ten years when you can give up all distracting thoughts for the purpose!

Even if you go to drive screws and give up all entertainment, you can buy a house in a small county in ten years.

Throw it into martial arts, but it won't even make a splash.

Having invested so much, it was impossible to give up, so Shen Yi simply continued to pour in.

[In the seventeenth year, you finally caught the light and began to try to put it into the book]

[In the twenty-seventh year, you spent all your energy to perfect it and named it "Suppressing Demons and Zhengyang Sword"]

[Remaining demon lifespan: thirty-six years]

……

"Creating your own martial arts?"

Suddenly, an article of martial arts and swordsmanship insights appeared in Shen Yi's mind.

After absorbing it, he realized that it was not what he imagined.

On the panel, there is an extra line of text behind the Demon Subduing Sword Technique.

[First Realm. Demon-Suppressing Zhengyang Sword]

This is not a brand new martial arts, but something similar to a derivative stunt, so there is no proficiency.

After a total of sixty years of hard work, he desperately discovered that his manpower would eventually be exhausted.

With a mortal body, no matter how proficient the swordsmanship is, or how hard the body is trained day and night, it is impossible to fight against those real monsters.

So he came up with an idea of ​​mobilizing the essence and blood in the body, refining the essence and transforming it into Qi, and then controlling the Qi with the long knife in his hand.

"First Realm?"

Shen Yi looked at the prefix.

The last time I saw this word was on the instructions for killing the dog demon.

The enlightened dog demon has not yet entered the first stage.

In other words, this type of Kaiyang Knife has reached a certain realm.

"If we continue to deduce the demon-subduing sword technique, is it possible to directly create a complete first-level martial arts instead of a simple sword technique?"

Shen Yi turned off the panel, excitement filling her eyes.

But soon, he rationally suppressed the idea of ​​pouring all the remaining life energy into it.

Obviously, creating your own martial arts is a matter of half the result with twice the effort. For the same demon longevity, investing in ready-made martial arts will definitely have better results.

I remember that there was more than one kind of martial arts passed down by the captain of the Demon Suppressing Division last time. He had a small status in the yamen, so it was not difficult to obtain it.

"Let's rest first."

After suddenly experiencing so many changes, Shen Yi felt relaxed now, and Shen Yi was suddenly enveloped in a strong sense of tiredness.

He just made a motion to lie down.

The Liu family's father and daughter brought the hot water prepared in advance. The little girl soaked Shen Yi's feet in the hot water and kneaded them carefully with her rough hands.

Shen Yi closed her eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.

This was the first time he experienced the feeling of being served by others.

Based on the timid appearance of the two of them, it would be absolutely no problem for me to become a vicious landlord and rich man in this family from today on.

But Shen Yi opened her eyes and just thanked her softly: "That's almost it. Let's go out. I'll take a rest for the night and then leave."

Didn't show too much other emotions.

After all, if all the evil deeds of his predecessor were put there, no matter how gentle he behaved, he would only leave unnecessary worry and fear to the father and daughter.

After hearing this, Old Man Liu became sluggish as expected, with doubt in his muddy old eyes.

But he quickly came to his senses, grabbed his daughter, and nodded repeatedly: "Master Shen, you're welcome, you can stay as long as you want, I'll call you if you need anything."

The two stumbled away carrying the basin and got into the other room.

Liu Yatou lay beside the window and couldn't sleep all night. When she closed her eyes, she saw Master Shen's grinning face. When she opened her eyes, she saw the dead body of the dog demon in the yard.

She stayed up until the cockcrow in the early morning, her eyes were groggy, and she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure outside.

The young man was wearing a black uniform, with a slender back and a saber on his waist. He looked very heroic.

He quietly left the courtyard, and when he left, he held up the broken door that the dog demon had demolished, barely blocking some of the wind and cold. “Dad, Master Shen is gone.”

"Huh... leaving? It's good to go... Huh..."

……

The morning dew is moist, and a light mist lingers on the street.

Shen Yi walked out of the fog and stood in front of the two stone lions.

Baiyun County Government.

He walked in through the side door with ease and walked into the squad room.

There are seven or eight teams in the Boyun County Prison House. Shen Yi is just one of them, leading eight servants. His immediate boss is Song Changfeng, the head of the Prison House.

Sit down in your own place.

Shen Yi casually flipped through the book on the table twice and found that he couldn't understand it at all.

This not only shows that he has no education, but also proves from the side that his predecessor is also uninterested in official duties.

The Daqian Dynasty has been plagued by demons for many years. Although the Demon Suppression Department has been established, the manpower has always been very insufficient.

The control of demons usually relies on local government offices as the main force. The Demon Suppression Division will only take over the local area and conduct a demon sweep after the situation is completely out of control.

The end result is that the entire Yamen loses its authority and completely loses control of the local area.

It is precisely under this premise that the clever predecessor can take advantage of it.

The ability to negotiate with demons not only made Boyun County seem calm on the surface and gained trust from the superiors, but also prevented subordinates from actually fighting the demons, reducing many casualties and gaining great prestige.

He handled things properly, and after a few years, there was a faint tendency to succeed Song Changfeng.

Of course, not everyone is convinced.

Shen Yi glanced at the empty class room and the wine jars scattered on the floor at the foot of the table, picked one up at random, and fell into silence.

At this time, a thin young man rushed in hastily.

When he saw Shen Yi sitting on the chair, his eyes flashed with disdain at first. He quickly adjusted his mood, took off his hat, and revealed a handsome face: "In this humble position, please see Mr. Shen."

The visitor is called Chen Ji. He is the least senior in the class, but he has a good reputation.

The reason is that his exaggerated martial arts talent was even praised by the captain of the Demon Suppression Division.

It's a pity that he was young and energetic, so he suffered a lot at the hands of the demon. He was severely criticized by his superiors and was given to Shen Yi for training.

The other party's parents died early, and he took his younger sister to live in Boyun County.

It just so happens that my predecessor was also a hungry ghost.

The two fought overtly and covertly, and finally ended with him obediently obeying orders, while Shen Yi promised not to touch his sister, and they barely settled down.

Hiss, why do I feel like I have a way to die?

Shen Yi clenched her jaw and wandered away, but it was Chen Ji who broke the situation.

"Master Shen, I just came back from Liuli Temple. Something happened in the village."

Chen Ji remembered the previous order of his superior, and there was confusion in his eyes, but he quickly explained: "Although you said that you would not care about things outside the city for the time being, this time the monster did not obey the rules and actually took up residence in the village."

He spoke faster and faster, and seemed particularly worried about being interrupted by Shen Yi. It seemed that he had experienced similar situations many times before.

"I hope...Master Shen can go...to negotiate..."

When he said the word "negotiation", a trace of shame flashed across Chen Ji's face. Even so, he tried his best to maintain a respectful tone and did not want to offend the other party.

After all, according to Shen Yi's character, he usually deals with such situations in a perfunctory manner and never cares.

If you want the other party to come forward, you must make them happy.

"I remember last time, the captain of the Demon Suppression Division brought a total of three martial arts manuscripts. It seems that you borrowed them?"

Shen Yi stood up and walked to the door of the class room, stretching hard.

"what?"

Chen Ji was stunned on the spot. Could it be that Mr. Shen didn't listen to what he was saying at all?
  "Show it to me." Shen Yi stretched out her hand.

Chen Ji took a deep breath, walked to his desk, and pulled out three well-preserved manuscripts. Veins bulged on the back of his hands.

He stood for a long time and finally handed it over with great heartache.

According to the other party's habits, this precious demon-subduing martial arts is either used to pad the corner of the table, or it is given as a rare thing to a lover for fun, and he will never take a look at it.

Shen Yi took the transcript and walked out slowly.

Chen Ji was left standing there in a daze, his hand holding the knife tighter and tighter.

The man surnamed Shen didn't even ask, don't the lives of the people outside the city count?

At this moment, half of his body suddenly leaned in from the door.

It was Shen Yi who had left and returned. His face was filled with doubts: "Why are you standing there so stupidly, leading the way?"
