I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

That night, a lot of people ran away, and even a diligent junior constable from the Jingye Division decided to flee.

This was at Aqi's instigation, but Shang Chang'er also had her own wishes.

Being a constable in Xingsha City involves a lot of mundane tasks, and overall it's quite boring.

At first, Shang Chang'er felt a bit of novelty, but now she has lost interest in being a constable.

I used to dream of patrolling with Lin Yi, walking together on empty streets at night. It sounds so romantic!

However, Lin Yi, that damn jerk, never even spent a single day as her colleague!

She's so angry!

This also made Ah Qi realize that Lin Yi was unpredictable. Staying in the Jingye Division would not help him get closer to Lin Yi, so he might as well take this opportunity to slip away!

The man and the demon hit it off immediately and decided to make their escape, but they also had a plan for how to escape.

Otherwise, if she goes to find Lin Yi, she won't have a reason, and it will be very awkward when they meet.

Therefore, even if she were to leave, she needed to find a reasonable reason. Moreover, she also needed to find out where Lin Yi had gone.

Ah Qi had some guesses, because due to the trend of conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, the change of dynasties in the Southern Dynasties did not receive much attention.

The change of the name from Qi to Liang was met with opposition, after all, Prince Xiao Zhao of Liang and the late emperor were of the same clan, and if the royal family had no son, it was not impossible for Prince Xiao Zhao to succeed to the throne.

But this guy, who got the throne, actually wanted to change the country's name, which the conservatives couldn't accept.

But Xiao Zhao was ruthless and domineering; anyone who dared to resist was killed, so there was no one left to oppose him.

Therefore, the Southern Dynasties were now called the Liang Kingdom.

Such a huge amount of attention was stolen by the competition between Buddhism and Taoism, which shows the power of these two top religions.

Even Shang Chang'er, who was far away in Xingsha City, had heard about it, while A Qi confidently analyzed that Lin Yi must have gone to participate in the grand event of the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism.

No matter what he's going there to do, if you follow this direction, you'll eventually find him.

She is the Demon Ancestor!

During this time, she has been lying low on Shang Chang'er and has absorbed a lot of power. When she casts a large-scale spell, Lin Yi will definitely have nowhere to hide.

"We can leave a letter to Chen Huaiyuan under the pretext of discovering new clues about the murder of the Longhu Mountain disciples, and then we can leave with a legitimate reason."

If you want to come back in the future, you can come back again.

"My disciple is indeed intelligent, but you should think carefully. This journey is extremely dangerous. Is it worth it to do this just to find one person?"

"It's not about finding anyone. How could I miss such a big event as the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism? I'm just going to watch the excitement. It just so happens that Lin Yi might be over there."

Shang Chang'er started to act arrogantly. Faced with A Qi's teasing, she didn't want to admit her feelings for Lin Yi.

Besides, Lin Yi is her master. If Lin Yi finds out that she has fallen in love with him, he will probably expel her from the sect as a disciple who has betrayed her master.

“I told you the road was dangerous, but you didn’t hear me at all! It seems that your heart is only with that master.”

Ah Qi teased Shang Chang'er, which made her feel embarrassed and annoyed.

"No, Master, please stop teasing me."

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Now that I'm being serious, your character has passed my test, and you can now learn my techniques."

Ah Qi had wanted to teach Shang Chang'er martial arts for a long time, but at that time she was still fishing and Shang Chang'er didn't trust her. After spending so much time together, Shang Chang'er's guard against her has decreased day by day, and now she is almost completely unguarded.

She could have completely controlled Shang Chang'er at any time, but she didn't.

Instead of doing everything herself, she should give full play to Shang Chang'er's initiative. Besides, she intends to use Shang Chang'er to seduce Lin Yi into depravity.

If Lin Yi discovers that she is the one controlling Shang Chang'er, he might not fall into depravity.

Given this, she naturally chose to maintain the current situation.

She temporarily resided in Shang Chang'er's body, using her to gain power, but her current improvement efficiency was too slow, so she had to lend a hand.

Shang Chang'er had no doubts about A Qi. Upon hearing that a cultivation technique would be taught, she quickly said, "Thank you, Master, for teaching me the technique."

"This method is called the Seven Absolute True Meanings. It uses the seven emotions and six desires to temper one's mind and spirit. It is a kind of spiritual cultivation method. However, unlike other methods, this method can not only make your soul strong, but also make your power not need to be activated by talismans."

The usual practice of refining the spirit involves cultivating the soul and then inscribing talismans to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, resulting in immense destructive power.

But Ah Qi is a demon, and what she taught Shang Chang'er was a demonic ability.

This means bypassing talismans and directly drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.

Moreover, this power can directly invade another person's soul to attack, making it impossible to defend against.

Such a powerful thing is naturally meant to be exchanged for greater benefits.

The so-called tempering of the mind with the seven emotions and six desires is completely a hoax by Ah Qi.

In reality, it is his own mind that absorbs the seven emotions and six desires to become stronger, which is also the power of the demon. It was just disguised by Ah Qi to make it look like a righteous cultivation method.

Once Shang Chang'er begins her cultivation, she will become Ah Qi's employee.

It gathers the power of the seven emotions and six desires from all directions, absorbs it, and after being eaten by Ah Qi, it shares a small portion of her wages.

Ah Qi has already made up her mind. No matter how much Shang Chang'er takes, she will give Shang Chang'er 30% of it.

"Hehehe, I really am a devil. I see her working so hard, but I only give her 30% of the profits. I hope she won't be furious when she finds out later."

Shang Chang'er had no idea that she was about to become a wage earner. As she read the cultivation technique taught by A Qi, she was immediately amazed by its extraordinary nature.

Does making others angry make you stronger?

Can you become strong just by getting angry?

Wouldn't that mean I could collect a lot of the power of the seven emotions every time I commit fraud?

She can collect things when people are greedy, and she can collect things when people are angry when things are exposed. This is a divine skill that was tailor-made for her!

"It's decided, we'll go all the way under assumed names and deceive everyone!"

Chapter 307 Yuzhang Prefecture

Jiangzhou, Yuzhang Commandery.

Lin Yi traveled eastward without stopping, trying to prevent the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism. He relied on his own two legs to avoid human habitation as much as possible, and in just half a day, he arrived at Yuzhang County.

The reason it took half a day was because Bai Lianxian, that pesky snake, was too unruly and kept teasing Lin Yi. Otherwise, Lin Yi wouldn't have taken until dark to reach Yuzhang County.

He wasn't slow, but traveling on foot always felt a bit less sophisticated.

"I'll have to find a mount when I have the chance in the future, otherwise how can I show off my coolness?"

He pondered to himself, but inadvertently uttered it aloud. Bai Lianxian's voice immediately rang in his ears: "You already have me, what more do you need a mount for? Can't I grant you your request?"

Lin Yi: "..."

From all aspects, Bai Lianxian does meet all the requirements; she can be both ridden and driven. It's just that the life essence consumed per hundred kilometers is a bit too much.

"You are a demon king, after all. If I ride on your back, wouldn't that make you lose face?"

"It's not like I haven't ridden one before."

"..."

It wasn't that he disliked young women who drove, but Bai Lianxian drove even more recklessly than he did, which made it a bit overwhelming for him.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. We're all here to do serious business."

Lin Yi dared not continue racing with her, lest she say something frightening again. Bai Lianxian had also had enough of her antics. She hovered around Lin Yi's arm, peeking out her little head from her sleeve to observe the situation outside.

"There are many more monks in Yuzhang County. There used to be very few Buddhist temples here."

As Lin Yi walked casually down the street, he saw many monks. They were all calm and composed, clearly skilled practitioners.

Jiangzhou is basically the territory of the Taoist sect, and Longhu Mountain is also in Jiangzhou. It's not that the entire Jiangzhou will be brought under the rule of the Taoist sect, but it also won't allow the Buddhist sect to develop.

The presence of monks here must be related to the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism.

"There's still some distance from Longhu Mountain. It's likely that the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain will ask Huijue to explain the murder, and the two probably won't meet there. Perhaps, this Yuzhang County is where they're planning to clash."

"Your analysis makes sense. So, we're pretty lucky. We just randomly picked a city and ended up in the front row of the spectator ranks?"

Bai Lianxian's tone was somewhat gloating. Although she did not intend to carry out the tasks given to her by the demon kings, nor did she intend to stop the clash between Buddhism and Taoism, she would certainly join in the fun if there was a good show to watch.

Of course, if Lin Yi wanted to do anything, she would help him, considering it as payment for her services.

Hearing her tone, Lin Yi knew she was someone who loved to stir up trouble, so he could only sigh helplessly and say, "Is it possible that they met in Yuzhang County? Just go and ask."

Where should I ask?

"Jingyashi."

Lin Yi put on the human skin mask and went to find the Jingye Division.

Previously, Guan Buping had mentioned a trick to Lin Yi for finding Jingye Division companions: look in the south.

Regardless of which city's Jingye Division, they would all set up an office in the southern part of the city.

It's impossible to know when this regulation started, but it has been in place for many years, and no one has ever bothered to violate it.

This regulation also made it easier for members of the Jingye Division to find colleagues. The internal system of the Jingye Division was relatively loose. In the past, when the Jingye Division was strong, the Jingye Divisions of different prefectures and counties of the same level would exchange and learn from each other.

However, the overall strength of the Jingye Division has declined, and exchanges and learning are now just about who is in a worse situation, so such exchanges are not very meaningful.

Lin Yi quickly found the Jingye Division of Yuzhang County. Compared to the Jingye Division in Xingsha City, the Jingye Division in Yuzhang County was significantly more luxurious.

You can tell just by looking at the gate of the government office.

Both are tall gateposts, but the gateposts of Yuzhang County are painted red, while those of Xingsha City are just bare shells, and it's unknown when they will break and be carried back to be used as firewood.

Clearly, Yuzhang Commandery had more funds than Xingsha Commandery.

When Lin Yi arrived at the gatehouse, he took out the police officer's badge that he had kept and handed it to the gatekeeper who looked a little young.

"Brother, I am Yi Lin from Jingye Division of Xingsha City. I need your assistance. Please inform him."

Lin Yi didn't really care whether he used his real name or a pseudonym, but to be on the safe side, he used a pseudonym instead.

The gatekeeper casually took Lin Yi's identification card, glanced at it, and asked, "From Xingsha City? What are you doing here?"

Lin Yi was displeased, but still replied, "I came here to investigate a demon."

"Chasing them this far? Are the people from the Jingye Division of Xingsha City that idle?"

Zhang Lan looked at Lin Yi with some shock. As a doorman who was just getting by in the Jingye Division, he couldn't understand Lin Yi's behavior.
