I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years
Chapter 34: Good and Evil in People's Hearts
Zhang Cheng was in high spirits and stood on the stool with one leg.
Stand up straight with your chest and waist up, and start singing with one finger:
"I think back then, I had a horse and a gun, left my dear wife, and left Shangyang, vowing to go to the capital to have a try..."
Zhou Yi had lived in Luojing for nearly a year and frequently visited the Goulan brothel. He was unwilling to go, but his colleagues repeatedly invited him sincerely.
In working life, socializing is inevitable.
After listening and watching a lot, I also gained an understanding of Daqian's dramas. The monk's ability to remember what he has heard and seen is a magical skill when used in any study.
Zhang Cheng is now singing a local opera in Luojing. His singing voice is melodious and has a mellow charm, and his level is not inferior to that of the famous Goulan actors.
This section comes from a play called "Youth Travel". It is said to be adapted from Taizu's experiences as a boy, wandering alone in Kyoto, fighting corrupt officials and slaying demons, and rising from an unknown to the powerful Fengyang Kingdom.
At that time, Luo Jing was not the Luo Jing of Daqian, but belonged to the capital of Fengyang Kingdom, one of the Yunzhou Kingdoms.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Cheng's voice fell, and Master Chen took a step forward, taking a T-step with his feet and leaning back slightly.
Mr. Chen's posture is steady and he must be a regular customer.
"Don't talk about that golden 100-foot tower. Don't say that the demon will never stop. When I drink all the wine in the cup, I will not behead the thief - I swear there will be no rest..."
After singing one section, he was not inferior to Zhang Cheng, and he had the bearing of a scholar and a general.
Colleagues all applauded that Master Chen, who was born as an orthodox Jinshi, could talk about poetry and songs, and he could also sing Goulan opera.
Zhang Cheng, as the leader of the atmosphere team of the Ministry of Objects, the atmosphere spread quickly. Many warehouse officials and villagers could not help but be attracted by the fragrance of tea, and passed by and joined in one after another.
Only now did Zhou Yi know that there were hundreds of people in the Ministry of Things, and that was not all of them.
Most of them are in the sixth to fourth level of Qi refining realm, and a few of the lower third-level body refining monks are people with profound backgrounds.
Happy moments are always quick and short.
By the time they dispersed, it was already noon.
Seeing that Master Chen was about to leave, Zhou Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir, I would like to take a leave today and tomorrow."
Chief Chen nodded in agreement: "I understand, please tell Lao Zhang and don't hand over the ghost-drawing talisman again when the time comes."
The Ministry of Materials is on duty all year round, and only takes one day off on New Year's Eve, and needs to take leave at other times.
Zhou Yi went to tell Zhang Cheng again and left the Ministry of Things.
Tongfu Inn.
Hu Jiuying stood behind the counter. Because she was short, there was a bench underneath her.
He was holding the white fox Feng Ling'er in his arms. The fox fairy hair covered his aura, and the god-refining monk thought he was just an ordinary fox pet in person.
The shop was full of customers, but the strange thing was that they were all silent, devouring fried chicken.
"Auntie, what do you think? In this three-acre land in Kyoto, we can keep our word!"
The injuries on Xu Ye's face and right leg were healed overnight after taking some miraculous medicine.
Hu Jiuying smiled and was about to speak. When she saw Zhou Yi standing outside the door, her expression changed and she waved impatiently.
"Go, go, don't disturb my aunt, be careful to break your three legs!"
Xu Ye couldn't figure out where Hu Jiuying was provoked again. When he heard that three legs were about to be broken, he whistled and ran out in fright.
The diners in the inn stood up with a roar, exited the inn silently, and lined up neatly outside.
"Come back! My aunt is about to leave. Seeing that you have taken good care of me, I will give you a gift as a souvenir."
Hu Jiuying stopped Xu Ye and touched the back of his head, and a handful of silver-white fox fur appeared in his hand.
Xu Ye took the fox fur and frowned: "Auntie, why do you still have white hair..."
"roll!"
Hu Jiuying waved her hand, and Xu Ye flew out, knocking over several rows of diners waiting outside.
Xu Ye screamed and got up. When he saw Zhou Yi standing at the door smiling, he shouted carelessly: "What are you looking at? I am practicing Qing Gong, do you understand?"
Zhou Yi shook his head and walked into the inn. Hu Jiuying helped Lao Zhou clear the dishes with great discernment.
"Have you checked it out?"
"It's been found out. He's been in Fuzhou County."
Through Xu Ye's relationship, Hu Jiuying quickly found out where Feng Zhen was an official.
…
Fuzhou County.
The eastern edge of Luozhou is close to the Yangping Lake, with a vast mist of eight hundred miles.
County magistrates serve a three-year term, and will be promoted or demoted based on the imperial assessment.
Feng Zhen was born in a juren family, and the county magistrate was already at his limit, with no hope of promotion. He relied on the coordination of his wife and family to hold office in Fuzhou County.
Fuzhou County is mountainous and the land is not even three feet flat. Yangping Lake is full of water and swampy miasma.
The population here is sparse, the people are poor, and it is the lowest-class county.
Feng Zhen is willing to stay in office, and everyone is happy.
Two streaks of light streaked across the sky, like shooting stars during the day.
When the fishermen in the lake saw it, the superstitious ones hurriedly put their hands together and prayed. Meteors are often bad omens in Daqian, and they refer to weapons and natural disasters.
The sailors on one of the large ships saw the meteor getting brighter and brighter. Only when they got closer did they see clearly that they were a man and a woman.
"The Immortal Master! It's the Immortal Master!"
There were cheers on the deck. The reputation of the immortal master in Daqian was excellent. It was believed that the immortal master killed demons and protected ordinary people.
The man has a ginger complexion and frost on his temples. He is wearing black scale armor and has a gold mace at his waist. His eyes were like lightning scanning the people on the boat, showing no anger or authority.
The woman looked to be in her teens, cute and cute, holding a white fox in her arms.
The visitors were none other than Zhou Yi and Hu Jiuying.
Zhou Yi used the shape-changing technique to change his face and body shape. The armor on his body and the gold mace on his waist were all magical weapons obtained by killing the evil demon.
Hu Jiuying was not surprised by this. Many immortal masters had eccentric temperaments. As far as she knew, the Fox Fairy Empress had changed her identity as a man and a woman many times and went to live in the mortal world.
The boatmen and sailors gathered behind the steward to welcome the immortal master.
Zhou Yi landed on the bow of the ship and asked, "Which direction is Fuzhou County?"
The steward thought about his words and said, "Reporting to the Immortal Master, I am Shi Sinian, the inspector of the Fuzhou Inspection Department. May I ask what the Immortal Master is doing when he goes to the county government office?"
Inspections are from the ninth grade officials, barely belonging to the senior officials.
"Why are you dressed like this in front of the inspector?"
Zhou Yi looked at Shi Sinian up and down. He was wearing a rough cloth and his hands and feet were rough and calloused. He didn't look like an official in any way.
Use Zhanzhan Qi Technique to create purple within the green, which is responsible for official luck.
Shi Sinian looked embarrassed: "The Immortal Master didn't know something. Magistrate Feng asked the subordinates to be responsible for fishing. The official uniforms are cumbersome and inconvenient. Over time, it has become like this."
Zhou Yi immediately put away his Qi-watching technique and saluted with a solemn expression.
"It's because of me. Inspector Shi is a good officer."
Shi Sinian shook his head and said, "You can't believe it. Mr. Feng is a good official. A lower official is just to show his strength."
Zhou Yi originally planned to ask for directions and leave, but when he heard this, he suddenly became interested.
"Inspector Shi thinks Magistrate Feng is a good official?"
"Of course, the county magistrate is Mr. Qingtian of Fuzhou County."
Shi Sinian said: "If it weren't for Mr. Feng County, how would we dare to come to Yangping Lake to fish? This is the only large ship that has been blessed by magic. It was built with your own money."
The boatmen and sailors had been with Shi Sinian for a long time and no longer feared the officials, so they couldn't help but talk.
"I heard that Lord Qingtian went to the bottom of the lake and talked with Lord Dragon before he allowed us to fish."
"There is also a Dragon King Temple beside the lake, where sacrifices are held every year. I think we should build one for Master Qingtian."
"Only the dead can enter the temple. How can living people be sacrificed? Are you cursing Master Qingtian?"
"Bah, bah, bah! I deserve a beating because I have a bad mouth!"
"..."
Zhou Yi's eyes flashed and he asked: "I am quite familiar with Master Feng. I remember that he has not entered into cultivation. Jiang Shen will not show off his face."
The officials and the clergy belong to two sets of teams that do not interfere with each other.
The land of the City God is not bad, he was a virtuous human being during his lifetime, and he is willing to protect him after his death.
Water gods and mountain gods are mostly elves in the mountains and waters, with unpredictable personalities. At worst, they are great demons who do not do evil. In order to appease the local people, the imperial court decreed that they were mountain gods and water gods.
The officials of the imperial court and the priests were not subordinate to each other. The gods of mountains and water did not want to take care of things, and even the governors of the state, animal husbandry and county did not bother to pay attention.
Of course, most officials at the state and county level are not only powerful in their own right, but also suppressed by the Immortal Salary Department and the Demon Slayer Department, so the gods of mountains and rivers have no choice but to obey their orders.
Shi Sinian hesitated for a moment, and out of respect for the Immortal Master, he said vaguely: "I heard that the county's wife's family is quite powerful in Kyoto."
Zhou Yi immediately understood that Feng Zhen betrayed Feng Linger's mother and daughter in order to marry a new wife.
In Hu Jiuniang's memory, the woman was the daughter of the Minister of Rites.
Zhou Yi asked: "Inspector Shi, is Mr. Feng at the county government office now?"
Shi Sinian shook his head and said, "Today is the monthly fishing market. The county magistrate must be in the new city in the west of the city, watching the transactions with the merchants."
"I understand, farewell."
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he and Hu Jiuying turned into streams of light and flew towards Fuzhou County.
Shi Sinian looked enviously at the Escape Light in the sky, which could only be used by at least the third-level Qi Refining Realm. He basically had no hope in this life.
The imperial court issued exercises suitable for officials to practice, and allocated cultivation resources and court luck according to their grades.
However, the lower third-rank officials have the largest number of officials and the least resources, which is basically better than nothing.
Shi Sinian had been in the inspection position for more than ten years, but he was only at the eighth level of martial arts. He was getting older and there was no further hope.
