I practiced with a cheat

"Demons?!"

Yu Jianghe and his apprentice were somewhat puzzled when they heard this, and said uncertainly: "Senior, do you want to kill the demons?"

"Yes." Zhou Heng nodded gently and smiled: "Exterminating demons is beneficial to cultivation."

"Ah?" Yu Jianghe was confused when he heard this, and said in astonishment: "Is it like this?"

In his cognition, demons and ghosts are fierce and cruel, powerful, and at least equivalent to the level of controlling objects.

Ordinary casual cultivators avoid these demons and ghosts. Unless someone offers a large reward, few people will take the initiative to find demons.

After all, there is no substantial benefit in killing demons, and it is a thankless task. If you encounter a powerful demon or a group of demons, your life will be in danger.

The ones who really take action against demons and ghosts are actually those great cultivators at the True Form Realm or even stronger levels. They have enough strength to deal with most demons.

But the reason why those great cultivators take action is usually only because demons and ghosts invade their territory or support their country for help, not because they have good intentions.

I have never heard of the saying that exorcising demons is beneficial to cultivation.

However, the senior in front of me should be the reincarnation of an ancient Tianxin realm master, and he probably knows some unknown or lost secrets...

Could it be true?

Is exorcising demons really beneficial to cultivation?

"Things that are beneficial to the natural world will naturally be beneficial to cultivation." Zhou Heng smiled, but did not explain more.

Most of the cultivation methods emphasize the unity of man and nature, and the part of learning from the world. If you can get positive feedback from the rules of heaven and earth, it will naturally be beneficial to cultivation.

"Thank you for your doubts." Yu Jianghe did not continue to ask, and bowed respectfully to say goodbye, "Then we will leave first, and we will report to you when we have news about demons."

"Okay." Zhou Heng nodded gently.

Then, the master and apprentice left here, and only Zhou Heng and the Jiang family brothers and sisters were left in the courtyard.

"Teacher, who were those people just now?" Jiang Houli asked curiously, "Are they good or bad?"

"People cannot be simply distinguished by good or bad." Zhou Heng smiled and shook his head, "However, for you now, the two people who just left are good people, and the one I defeated before is a bad person."

"Woo, it's a bit hard to understand." Jiang Houli tilted her little head, and a puzzled expression appeared on her delicate face. For her, who was only five years old, it was still too difficult to understand such a profound question.

"I understand, I understand, those who want to bully my sister are bad people, and those who are good to my sister are good people!" Jiang Xianchu came to Zhou Heng and said, "Teacher, am I right?"

"Haha, if you want to understand it this way, it's okay." Zhou Heng laughed, and then said, "Okay, continue practicing, don't be lazy."

"Yeah!" The brother and sister said in unison, and then practiced the familiar Changsheng Jue moves.

...

In the next half a month, Zhou Heng further improved the improved version of Changsheng Jue.

During this period, Yu Jianghe and his apprentice came three times to report the news about the demons they had received, and naturally gradually learned this new version of the longevity secret.

After this period of accumulation, Yu Jianghe should be about to break through the original realm level, and will condense the true form and become a strong man in the true form realm.

Zhou Heng can also clearly feel that as Yu Jianghe's cultivation progresses, his own perception of the natural laws of this world has become clearer.

This means that the positive feedback of the rules of heaven and earth has begun to occur, and has exerted some subtle influence on him, but it has not yet reached the level of being able to obtain merit.

It is estimated that it will take until Jianghe really breaks through the realm to really obtain some merit.

Or, kill some big demons.

Yu Jianghe and his apprentice are well-informed. In the past half month, they have found six places where demons are causing trouble.

However, only four of the six places are relatively confirmed, and the other two are more like rumors, and two of the four places have been taken over and handled by the Holy Church of Mercy.

That is to say, Zhou Heng can only choose two places.

"In Wushan Town in the northwest of Liang State, a tiger demon is causing chaos; in Dacheng Town in the southeast of Liang State, there are ghosts at night, all of which are demons at the level of the True Form Realm. Tsk tsk, Liang State is not large, at most equivalent to half of Pingzhou, but there are quite a few demons causing chaos."

Zhou Heng flipped through some information brought to him by Master Yu Jianghe and felt that the people in this world were really living in dire straits. At the same time, he was also considering where to go first.

The distance between these two places and Qingxiang Town is about the same. In terms of the length of the journey, it is actually the same to go either way, but Wushan Town is closer to the branch altar of the Holy Church of Mercy, and Dacheng Town is closer to the capital, which is convenient for Zhou Heng to meet up with Cheng Jiangjian as scheduled.

"There are still more than three months before the reunion. Beidou may not have arrived yet, so there is no need to rush to the capital." Zhou Heng thought to himself: "Maybe we can go to the Mercy Holy Church to strike first."

Jing Yanhua is the Wrathful King of the Mercy Holy Church, a master of the True Form Realm, and has a high status. He does not think that the Mercy Holy Church will let him go if he kills such a person.

Instead of waiting for the Mercy Holy Church to come to him, it is better to go there first and strike first.

"Speaking of which, I am still the prince of the Liang Kingdom in this body." Zhou Heng suddenly felt something in his heart and smiled secretly: "When I go to the capital for appointments in the future, I may have some interesting experiences."

You can leave the capital side alone, but the Mercy Holy Cult side should be dealt with first. After thinking for a moment, he made a decision in his heart.

Target, Wushan Town.

…

Watch the French monk fly in a very flamboyant way.

Just like Zhou Heng now, he is flying with the power of the mighty Tianlong Bodhisattva. He condenses a dragon and an elephant under his feet and flies into the sky.

Looks quite cool.

If he were in Daqi, Zhou Heng would not dare to be so wanton. This kind of flying method is simply much more pompous than the fourth-level masters.

But in this world, it is a very common thing, and no one will cause trouble for it.

Moreover, this kind of flying method should be able to effectively avoid some misunderstandings and avoid having to go through a show of pretending to be slapped in the face.

Empty the air and travel across thousands of miles.

Zhou Heng looked far away.

Through the layers of clouds and mist, we can see the mountains stretching ahead, reaching the northwest boundary of Liang Kingdom.

…

Wushan Town is relatively a closed town.

This is because the northwest of Liang State is mountainous and transportation is very inconvenient. Especially Wushan Town is surrounded by mountains on two sides and faces water on one side. There is only one direction that leads to the outside world. After walking for thirty miles, there is a hill.

This created a closed and exclusive environment in Wushan Town, making it difficult even for officials sent by the Liang Kingdom to govern here.

In the end, there was no other choice but to choose a few of the larger local clans in Wushan Town to take turns serving as the mayor.

Therefore, the small Wushan Town is actually like a closed country within a country.

Under normal circumstances, in such a place, external communication would be poor and the people would be relatively poor.

However, there are many wild animals in the mountains and forests here, and they are rich in all kinds of furs. They are loved by wealthy families in big cities, and businessmen often come here to make large purchases.

This made the people in power in Wushan Town make a lot of money, and even ordinary people were extremely rich.

However, in the past two months, Wushan Town has not been able to sell any furs. A tiger demon is causing trouble in the mountains. The people in the town cannot go hunting in the mountains, so naturally there is no supply of furs.

This made the people in power in Wushan Town anxious, so they frantically sent people out to try their best to find the immortal master from outside.

That is, monks with magic skills.

On this day, Lin Shi, the mayor's son, spent a lot of money to invite two monks from outside.

It is said that all of them are immortal masters who can control wind and thunder, and manipulate water and fire.

After Lin Shi settled the three people in the best restaurant in town, he went back home to report the situation to his father "Lin Yan".

"Shi'er, are you sure that the two immortal masters invited this time will be able to subdue the tiger demon in the mountain?" Lin Yan, who was in his fifties, had gray beard and hair, and said with a sad look on his face.

"Father, please rest assured, there will definitely be no problem this time." Lin Shi is a young man in his twenties, looking confident. "The three groups of 'immortal masters' who were eaten by the tiger demon in front are all swindlers. .

"This time, the boy went there in person and inquired carefully outside. The reputation of these two immortal masters is widely known and they have subdued many demons. They must be fine."

"That's good, that's good." Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: "We must get rid of that tiger monster before the officials contact the immortal master to come here, otherwise our fur business here will be destroyed. Let the officials swallow it up.”

In fact, under normal circumstances, if a town encounters demons and ghosts causing trouble, it should be reported to the county government, who will then contact the court and ask for the blessings of the monks of the sect.

But most of the time, the sect will not do it in vain, but will ask the court for a large sum of money for protection, which is in addition to the regular support.

In this way, if the imperial court is exploited by the sect, it will naturally pass on this loss to the county government, and the county government will pass it on to the towns.

If the county government is really contacted, or if the county government discovers that the imperial court has taken the initiative to contact and calls for the sect's immortal master, even if the tiger demon is eliminated, Wushan Town's fur business may not be able to be saved.

This is unacceptable to the people of Wushan Town.

"I understand, kid!" Lin Shi nodded solemnly and said, "Tomorrow I will take two immortal masters to the mountains to slay the demon, skin the tiger demon, and make a mattress for you!"

"Hahaha! Okay! Okay!" Lin Yan laughed heartily and was very happy.

Tap tap tap!

At this moment, rapid footsteps came from outside the house.

Immediately, I saw a servant running over in a hurry. After bowing respectfully, he said, "Master, Master, there is an immortal master coming from outside the town. He said he is here to help us subdue demons."

"Did you come by yourself?" Lin Shi frowned slightly when he heard this, and said, "I think he is coveting the reward of ten thousand taels of silver. Give him ten taels of silver and send him away. Just say that we have invited a powerful immortal master here. Please ask him to go back."

Wushan Town was very eager to get rid of the tiger demon. Not only did they send people out to find an immortal master who could get rid of the demon, they also posted a high reward of ten thousand taels of silver.

Therefore, people who claim to be immortal masters often come over and say they want to get rid of the demons. Most of these people are swindlers and have no ability at all. After learning about the terror of the tiger demon, they will sneak away on their own.

"But, but this immortal master flew here." The servant whispered: "I saw with my own eyes that this immortal master had his feet on a dragon elephant, and was covered in golden light. He fell from the sky, like a Like true immortals and Buddhas.”

"What?!" Lin Shi was shocked when he heard this.

"Standing on dragon elephants, wearing golden light?!" Lin Yan stood up directly, with an expression on his face full of surprise, "It is said that even among immortal masters, those who can fly into the sky and escape from the earth, and enter and leave the Qingming are extremely powerful. The Great Immortal Master is far beyond ordinary.”

The circulation of information about monks in this world is relatively closed. Mortals have almost no channels to understand the divisions of monks. They can only make guesses through some rumors.

"Please, please!" Lin Shi also became excited. Such a great immortal master who could fly was obviously much more powerful than the two immortal masters he invited.

…

News of the arrival of the new immortal master quickly spread throughout Wushan Town.

Especially since this was a great immortal master who was flying in the sky with his feet on a dragon and an elephant, the people of Wushan Town, who had already experienced several failures, were filled with hope.

None of the groups of immortal masters in the past could fly. Such a powerful immortal master would definitely be able to subdue the tiger demon in the mountains and restore the fur business in the town to normal.

Unlike the happy people of Wushan Town, the two immortal masters invited by Lin Shi earlier had gloomy expressions.

Yuelai Restaurant.

This is the best restaurant in Wushan Town.

Zhu Xiao and Kong Qing live here. They are the immortal masters that Lin Shi spent 30,000 taels of silver to hire to eliminate demons.

Of course, they have only given a deposit of 5,000 taels now, and they will not give the remaining 25,000 taels until the demon is really eliminated. This is why they are unhappy now.

"Kong Qing, what's going on?" Zhu Xiao looked out the window and said in a deep voice: "Just now I heard that Lin Shi took the initiative to welcome a flying monk? Those who can fly must at least be in the true form."

"I just went out to ask if this was the case, but judging from Lin Shi's attitude, the person who came here is definitely not a monk from the sect." Kong Qing nodded, with a gloomy face, "Lin Shi, this idiot, must have been deceived. How could there be a Taoist cultivator who comes here to slay demons? It’s ridiculous!”

"That's right, slaying demons is just a matter of harvesting some earthly gold and silver. Not to mention the Great Master, even the monks in the Sun Traveling Realm will look down upon it!" Zhu Xiao said: "We are the only ones who have just reached the level of imperialism. Only high-level casual cultivators can do it.”

"The so-called Feitian Immortal Master is probably a liar." Kong Qing said harshly: "He is here to steal business. It is rare for a single demon to cause trouble, and it is not very cannibalistic. It must not be at the level of the Japanese Travel Boundary. This But the best prey must not be robbed like this.”

"That's right." Zhu Xiao nodded, but he hesitated, "What if this is really a real person in the True Form Realm?"
