I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years

"Yun Shen, it seems he is a real great scholar."

Zhou Yi's spiritual soul has been growing rapidly in recent days, and it has naturally integrated into the characters. Regular observation can increase spiritual awareness.

Similar to Zhang Cheng's painting method, it is close to condensing the true meaning. Unfortunately, the copybook has no effect of exorcising evil spirits and suppressing evil spirits, and its applicability is much worse.

Today, Liu Quan's calligraphy and Zhang Cheng's paintings have become the signature of Zhuangyuan Hall, which is unique.

No matter how jealous other bookstores are, they can only copy the appearance of the calligraphy and painting scrolls, but the true meaning behind them is helpless.

After talking for a while, Zhou Yi took out the manuscript from the package, a thick stack.

"This is a new book I have written. I still need to trouble Shopkeeper He to publish it."

"Mr. Zhou's new book!"

Shopkeeper He stood up quickly, wiped his hands, and took it carefully.

Search for demon records!

When I saw the name on the cover, I felt happy and started flipping through the pages.

Shopkeeper He's expression was sometimes horrified, sometimes suspicious, and sometimes solemn. After a moment, he asked directly: "Mr. Zhou, is what is written in this book true?"

"That's natural."

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "I am on duty in the Demon Slaying Department. I compiled what I saw and heard in my daily life and compiled the records in the department's files into one volume."

"It's because he is old and ignorant."

Shopkeeper He sighed: "It's an eye-opener to learn about ghosts and monsters from the torturer's story. I never thought that there are so many types of monsters in the world, many of which are simply unheard of."

"That's why I have to write it down. The prerequisite for resisting and preventing demons is to understand what demons are."

Zhou Yi positions Sou Yao Lu as a dictionary and basic knowledge, just like the natural phenomenon of clear sky and white sun, cloudy day and rain.

Fear comes from ignorance or the unknown!

When ordinary people have a clear understanding of monsters, their fear is reduced by at least half.

Among the evil monsters killed by Zhou Yi, many small water monsters pretended to be river gods, fox monsters and rat monsters pretended to be land, and asked the people in the village to offer blood food, and the worst ones wanted to sacrifice boys and girls.

They are not very powerful, and rely on their spells to confuse people into dreams, making ordinary people fearful and dare not resist.

In ancient times, there appeared a strange man who could spontaneously ignite paper charms, draw money from a frying pan, and have a fluttering white beard. Even educated squires and officials would respect him as a true mage.

If you meet a modern time traveler who dares to coax me to make money, I will immediately let you know what it means for young people to have no martial ethics. You will take away a set of five lightning whips and expose the scam to become famous.

"Sir, the idea is good, but this book is too thick and the printing cost..."

Shopkeeper He calculated silently for a moment and said: "Comparing the annotations of the complete works of the Four Books and Five Classics with similar page numbers, using inferior paper, it will cost at least eight taels. Adding manpower, losses, etc., only fifteen taels can be guaranteed for external sales."

"So expensive!"

Zhou Yi frowned slightly, which basically stopped ordinary people from reading.

It is considered a good year when most people have enough food at home, and a village can have three to five thousand dollars.

Shopkeeper He continued to read backwards. As the levels of monsters increased, middle-level and third-level monsters spread across thousands of miles and cracked mountains and rocks. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were like immortals and demons.

"Mr. Zhou, your book is not for ordinary people, right?"

Zhou Yi shook his head and said: "Since it is published by Shopkeeper Xunhe, it is naturally for ordinary people to see. If the demon causes trouble, how many of those high-ranking immortal masters can die?"

"Sir, you are a great virtuous man, you deserve three bows!"

Shopkeeper He bowed three times and saluted, and continued: "I probably understand what Mr. He means, he just wants ordinary people like us to survive!"

Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "That's pretty much what it means. I'm not very noble, I just see too much misery and get bored. It's always better to have less."

"Then I look at this book from the perspective of an ordinary person. Ninety percent of it is useless."

Shopkeeper He pointed at the picture of a fifth-grade turtle demon, with dragon scales already growing on its limbs and neck, and said: "This demon called the Dragon Turtle Alien Species will die if you encounter it. What are its weaknesses, its talents, and its magic skills? For me, useless."

"Well?"

The Book of Changes, "Searching for Monsters", only wanted to be comprehensive and comprehensive, and wished it could be written as a database of monsters. It has not yet considered it from the perspective of ordinary people.

"But one of them is very useful. For example, the dragon turtle has a gentle personality, likes peace and hates noise, and mostly likes fine wine..."

Shopkeeper He said: "If you encounter someone in the water, if you don't be afraid or make a fuss, and the wine sinks into the water, can you avoid disaster?"

Zhou Yi agreed: "As long as it is not a ferocious dragon turtle, there is a high probability that it will survive."

"That's it."

Shopkeeper He smiled and said: "This kind of monster can be described clearly with just a picture and a few words."

Zhou Yi nodded slightly and silently calculated in his mind that deleting the data of the third-level demon would save one or two hundred pages.

"Shopkeeper He, do you have any other suggestions? Can you please tell me in detail?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhou just doesn't mind it."

Shopkeeper He opened a page to record the Eighth Grade White Immortal, also known as the Hedgehog Spirit, and said: "This monster looks like a big hedgehog. When fighting, it can use steel needles, which is very lethal. The weak point is the abdomen, and ordinary swords can do it." Break open.”

"Mr. Zhou, if you want to reduce your fear, you not only need to indicate your weaknesses, but you are also missing one of the most important things..."

Zhou Yi wondered: "What's missing?"

Shopkeeper He rubbed his thumb and index finger together, with a philistine look on his face: "According to what I heard, the demon clan is rich in flesh and blood, and the supply exceeds demand on the market. Some special parts are even more valuable..."

"Money is a coward!"

Zhou Yi suddenly realized that he suddenly recalled Wu Sanpeng, a merchant from Shanshen Temple.

I heard that Uncle Song had made ten thousand bucks by catching ghosts and selling them to the demon-slaying department. Not only was he not afraid of the yellow-skinned demon, he coaxed it to drink rice wine and drew a knife to catch the demon and skin it.

"Know it with reason, move it with benefit!"

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "This book will not be printed for the time being. I want to compile it again. Shopkeeper He has made great contributions, how about leaving a name on it?"

"No, no, no, ordinary people like us cannot deserve such a famous name."

Shopkeeper He shook his head repeatedly and said, "I have a request. I hope Mr. Zhou will grant it?"

"Shopkeeper He, please tell me."

"Can you sell this book of Monster Searching Records to me? I'm willing to pay...a thousand taels!"

Shopkeeper He said: "I must bind it exquisitely and place it in the ancestral hall to enshrine it as a family heirloom."

"No need to be polite, this book is of no use to anyone, just take it. I still have a few manuscripts there."

Zhou Yi said: "In the future, every time someone is rescued by Sou Yao Lu, he will receive half of the credit from the shopkeeper."

"The old man has taken advantage of Mr. Zhou."

Shopkeeper He was beaming with joy and couldn't put it down while holding the manuscript of Sou Yao Lu.

…

Return to Qingfeng Xiaozhu.

Zhou Yi took out the white paper for summons and a copy of the written manuscript of Searching Demon Records.

This demon search record is more than twice as thick as the one in Zhuangyuan Hall. It records the demon data in detail, as well as various methods or traps for killing demons.

Even if the demon sees a trap a hundred times, he will still fall into it.

Zhang Cheng often said that he wanted to cultivate his moral character and not go to Chunfeng Tower in the future, but he ended up falling into a trap.

Fa Li picked up the manuscript and pasted it page by page on the white paper. The ink stains on it fell off and were printed on top.

This is a method of transmitting documents that Zhou Yi figured out. The disadvantage is that it requires careful control of mana, otherwise the manuscript paper will be damaged.

It took nearly a quarter of an hour to complete the transmission of more than two thousand pages of "Monster Search".

——This is the "Monster Search" newly compiled by fellow Taoist? It is indeed another wonderful book!

Zhou Yi replied: "It's not really a strange book. It just compiled some common sense and compiled it into a book. I hope it will be useful to the human race."

——The common sense of fellow Taoists is really vast, and most of the things in the book have never been heard of by seasoned Taoists!

"Just average."

Zhou Yi glanced at the demon illustrated book. The demons recorded on it were really large and comprehensive.

Any monster that commits crimes has a location, and it is not known how to react with it, which is beyond the scope of ordinary Taoist and magical powers.

The path of spiritual practice is high and far away. Zhou Yi often lamented that he was still a primary school student in the spiritual world.
