Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 626: Return to the old business
"..."

Not to mention others, even Shen Yi was stunned for a moment.

He really just mentioned it casually. In business, all you need to do is make an offer and bargain.

When I first arrived in China, I was burdened with two big troubles.

First of all, there is the matter of killing the immortals. If discovered by the Immortal Court, it would be considered treason and a serious crime punishable by death.

The second is Zi Ling. In order to preserve her reputation, this woman even spared no effort on her biological father, let alone other creatures in Hongze.

To solve these two problems, one must either have enough strength or enough status.

Tsk, I can’t even find a job now, how can I improve my status?

As for strength...

After completing the Hedao realm, the cultivator will be given the title of Sanxian.

It sounds like it has something to do with the word "immortal", which seems pretty good.

In fact, what is more important is the word "scattered".

Without a master and connections, one cannot ascend to the immortal court to become an official, and can only be a wandering immortal for the rest of his life.

Based on the essays left by King Donglong.

The most orthodox way, of course, is the Bodhi Sect and the Three Immortal Sects among the Three Religions, which lead all the way to heaven and have a bright future.

The next best ones are those major immortal sects that have heard the teachings of these two religions and found a new way and walked out of a small path. They may not be able to become top immortals, but at least they can get rid of the word "scattered" and become true immortals. It is not impossible for them to even obtain the Taiyi Taoist fruit.

When Shen Yi first came out of Hongze, he had no connections at all. His original plan was to join the Divine Dynasty first. After having an identity, it would be easier for him to get to know and get in touch with other immortal sects.

He didn't expect that this Bodhi practitioner would agree so readily, which made him a little confused.

Isn't it a trap?

Shen Yi's old illness came back again.

"It's settled then." The ascetic monk smiled and clasped his hands together, bowing again towards this side: "I am Zhikong, the monk. I will trouble you for this trip."

After the words fell, Zi Yang, who had just been eager to agree on behalf of Shen Yi, looked even more strange, and loosened his sleeves and whispered, "No, are you really going?"

There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky in this world.

Shen Yi rolled his eyes at the rain-prayer and said in a low voice: "Do I have any other choice?"

He didn't mind following Zi Yang to travel around the mountains and rivers and seek the truth from various immortal sects, but how long could Zi Ling be kept in the stable in heaven?
To take a step back, even if I really learn these skills to make a living, and just hang around in the Divine Dynasty, making things happen every day, and competing with that woman to see whose status can be improved faster?
Thinking of this, Shen Yi looked at the ascetic monk again and nodded his chin lightly: "Master, please lead the way."

"..."

Zi Yang watched the two people walk away, stood there for a moment, and finally couldn't help stomping his feet, and took a step forward to catch up.

Although his strength is not as good as Sect Master Shen's, he at least knows more about the outside world. Following him, at least they can help each other.

At this moment, Zi Yang felt someone holding his right arm tightly. No matter how he struggled, his body could not move at all.

"Don't bother, I'm rank eight."

Hearing the lazy and hoarse voice in his ears, Zi Yang looked back and saw that the one who was holding him was the short land god.

Although the position of the God of Land is not dangerous, it is also difficult to be promoted. To be able to reach the eighth rank is enough to show how deep his qualifications are.

"That man has evil in his blood. He is not a good person. Stay out of these things and do your job as a rainmaker."

The God of Land of Jianyang Prefecture lowered his eyebrows and looked listless. He dragged Ziyang back to the front of the God of Land Temple.

"You know shit." Zi Yang blurted out a retort. Of course he knew how much blood was on Sect Master Shen's hands, but did the old man know why that blood was on his hands?
He would never forget the gentle look on the face of that young man as he walked into the East Dragon Palace in a black shirt and gently closed his father's eyes.

But no matter how angry he was, as soon as these words came out, Zi Yang immediately realized that something was wrong and his face suddenly became embarrassed.

How could he, a wild dragon from a remote swamp, have the qualifications to speak rudely to an eighth-rank immortal?

However, the god of the land just rolled his eyes at him, raised the wooden crutch in his hand and knocked him on the forehead: "Since your clan is stupid, I'll let it go this time."

Hearing this, Zi Yang was stunned for a moment, then finally reacted.

So this person is also an acquaintance of my father?
He forced a smile and said, "I'm outspoken and have no ill intentions. I hope the God of Land will forgive me... But my brother is a really good man. Please help him find a suitable job in Jianyang Prefecture."

Hearing this, the Earth Lord showed no emotion, and simply said, "It's too late."

This simple sentence made Zi Yang's heart skip a beat: "What does the Earth Lord mean by this?"

The old man raised his eyes and said, "How can there be so many evil spirits in Jianyang Prefecture? This is an internal matter of the Bodhi Sect. A villain who dares to steal the sect's skills is not something a young boy who just came down the mountain can deal with."

"Of course, that walker is inexperienced, but his strength is real, so he'll be safe. As for your brother... he'd better be really good at subduing demons."

The God of Land didn't say anything more and slowly walked into the temple.

Only Zi Yang's face was left pale. When he looked back, there was no trace of Sect Master Shen.

……

Jianyang Prefecture, west of the city.

The ascetic monk and a young man stopped for a while in front of a busy tavern, and waited for a young couple to come.

"These two are the chivalrous couples from Ziyun Sect who have entered the world to gain experience. They are the best at finding the Qi technique. I asked them to come and help. This one is Shen Xianyou from Nanyang Sect, an expert in slaying demons."

Monk Zhikong stood in the middle and introduced the two parties: "Thank you very much, donors."

Nanyang Sect?
The young couple thought for a moment, then bowed awkwardly and perfunctorily: "I have heard a lot about you... It is our honor to be able to help Master Zhikong. Please don't mention the word thank you again."

The two of them had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with Shen Yi. On the contrary, the woman even glanced at him secretly with a fearful look, as if she was worried about being overshadowed by Master Zhikong.

Such an opportunity to make friends with Bodhi disciples is extremely rare, and must be seized.

If I can establish good relations with the Bodhi Sect, this trip to the mountain gate will not be in vain, and I will have something to brag about when I return to the sect.

As for the expert demon slayer... I guess in the Divine Dynasty, only Zhikong would believe that a wandering immortal could be an expert demon slayer.

"We have already found the scent of that person. Master, please come this way."

The man slightly turned sideways and stood in front of Shen Yi, making Sect Master Shen, who had little presence, seem like an invisible man.

My partner and I have been working so hard, and it is a bit too much for a newcomer to want to get a piece of the pie by cheating and deceiving.

"..."

Shen Yi followed behind in silence, with no interest in going up to compete for jealousy.

In his opinion, it would be best if he didn't have to do anything and just got the skills directly, that would be comfortable.

Led by the Taoist couple, the group crossed the long street, stepped into an increasingly remote alley, and stopped in front of an ordinary gatehouse.

"Master Zhikong, that aura appeared here." The two Taoist companions tactfully stepped back half a step.

"Thank you, donor."

Monk Zhikong knocked on the door gently a few times, then stood outside the room waiting politely.

Soon, a creaking sound was heard.

A woman cautiously pushed open the door and looked outside. After seeing Zhikong's attire, she became a little flustered and said warily, "You've come to the wrong place."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

"This……"

Monk Zhikong stood blankly at the door, with his palms clasped together. He seemed to have not had time to explain his purpose. Although he had not interacted with many people on this trip down the mountain, he always had alms, and he had never encountered such a situation.

After thinking for a moment, he tried to look more amiable and knocked on the door again: "Donor, I am not a bad person, I just have something to ask you..."

Before he could finish his words, the wooden door was violently pushed open.

A scoundrel-looking man rushed out, punched and kicked Zhikong without saying a word, and pushed him out desperately, cursing, "I told you to come to the wrong place, go beg somewhere else, there is no leftovers here!"

With Zhikong's realm, let alone taking action, even if the aura leaked out a little bit, the man would be shattered into pieces.

But he was stunned, and he retreated backwards, protecting the man as he retreated, and explained hesitantly: "This monk... This monk is not here to beg for alms..."

However, the man did not give him a chance to finish his words. He pushed him down the stairs and slammed the door shut.

"..."

Monk Zhikong turned his head and looked at the Taoist couple.

The two Taoist companions looked at each other and left. As cultivators of the Immortal Sect, they had never suffered such injustice since they came down to the mortal world to gain experience. Although they were respected by everyone, they had never suffered such injustice.

If it were an evil demon, I would just kill it with my sword.

But this is Jianyang Prefecture, and the other party is just an ordinary person, and there is indeed no demonic aura.

"How about I go and exchange it for some earthly gold and silver?"

"I have quite a few fairy jades here."

The Taoist companion forced a smile, thinking that it was always right to use wealth to open up a new path.

The woman took out a piece of precious jade and handed it to Monk Zhikong.

"I--"

Monk Zhikong stretched out his hand to take the jade, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. As the saying goes, there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and it is a big taboo for monks like them to give money to mortals at will and interfere in the human world.

Just then, he finally saw the young man in black standing not far away.

I saw this Immortal Friend Shen standing there silently, with a hint of surprise on his fair and handsome face, looking at the three of them with a strange look.

It's like...it's like looking at an idiot.

Zhikong cast a look of help: "Does Immortal Shen have any solution?"

"call."

Shen Yi closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

Then he stepped forward and took the jade token from Zhikong's hand.

The next moment, under the stunned gaze of the three people, he didn't even use his cultivation, but suddenly kicked the wooden door away.

boom--

The couple who were eavesdropping behind the door were caught off guard and flew out.

Before he even hit the ground, the woman screamed like a pig being slaughtered: "Murder! Murder! A monk is killing people! Hurry and report to the police!"

The man rolled on the ground for a few times, then rushed up like a madman, wanting to do to Shen Yi the same thing he had just done to Zhikong.

However, just as he rushed forward, his neck was tightly grasped by five slender fingers.

Looking at the expressionless handsome face of the young man in black shirt, which was shrouded in murderous intent, the man suddenly lost his voice, and soon even his crotch became wet.

"Crazy... attacking mortals in Jianyang Prefecture for no reason?"

The Taoist couple swallowed their saliva. If this matter were to be reported to the prefect, not only the two of them, but also the Ziyun Sect behind them would be in trouble.

Do you really think that the Human Emperor’s rule over China is just a joke?

The reason why those mortals could treat monks with an ordinary heart was not because of anything else, but simply because of the court's killing tactics.

Monks do not interfere in the mortal world, this is an iron rule!

Zhikong finally came to his senses and stepped forward to stop it.

However, Shen Yi had already carried the man and walked slowly to the woman. He leaned over slightly, stretched out his hand, and shook the jade token in his palm in front of the other person.

He said nothing, but the woman stared at the jade token, looking at the obscure words on it that she couldn't understand, then looked at the young man, feeling the familiar smell on him, and even her voice began to stutter.

If he hadn't bullied hundreds of street vendors, he would never have developed such a reckless temperament.

"Official...officer..."

"Do you want to confess yourself, or do you want me to search you myself?" Shen Yi put away the jade token and threw the man to the ground with a calm expression.

"We really didn't do anything, Your Excellency, please see clearly!" The couple knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"..."

Shen Yi glanced at the two of them calmly, then walked into the inner room, leaving only a cold voice: "I found a place, I want one of your hands."

Hearing this, the two men suddenly raised their heads, their faces full of fear.

To be honest, using the cultivation level of Taoism to deal with two mortals is really a bit of a loss.

But with Shen Yi's current strength, even if the hair on their faces moved slightly, he would not be able to escape his perception.

Under the "guidance" of the man's expression, he stood directly in the corner of the bedroom, then gently crushed the wall, watching the stone skin fall off, revealing the altar and the statue covered with red cloth.

Shen Yi lifted the red cloth, lowered his eyes to look at the rat statue, and said softly, "One."

The couple who had just chased in suddenly became limp and fell to their knees with a thud. Their faces were pale, without a trace of blood.

Shen Yi turned and walked towards the bed, stretched out his hand to break the bed board, took out a gilded booklet, and slapped it on the man's face: "Two places."

The valuable experience left behind by the predecessor when it plundered the people's wealth.

These people like to hide things somewhere, so you can find them without any brains.

Shen Yi stopped looking, after all, a person only has two hands.

He stepped past the trembling couple, reached out to the waists of the three people who were struck by lightning, and pulled out a magic sword from the sheath of the chivalrous couple.

Shen Yi held the sword in one hand and grabbed the man with the other, then threw him onto the table.

The whole process went so smoothly that there was no doubt that he had done it thousands of times.

Under the reflection of the cold sword light, screams like a pig being slaughtered were finally heard in the house.

The man's hair stood on end, and he almost broke his voice: "I said!!!"

Shen Yi let go of the man's neck, threw the sword back into his Taoist partner's arms, calmly sat down on the chair, poured himself a cup of warm water, took a sip, and then glanced at the monk at the door: "Ask."

It was really outrageous. If he had not left Hongze, he would never have believed that there could be a being comparable to a true immortal who could be stopped by a small wooden door.

Mr. Shen almost laughed out loud.

"what?"

Master Zhikong opened his mouth wide, staring blankly at the jade token on the table.

If the other party had not just taken it from him, based on Shen Xianyou's expression and behavior, even he would have thought that this man was a real messenger from the Divine Dynasty.
