MTL - Begin Immortality By Slaying Demons

Chapter 3 The Demon-Suppressing Zhengyang Sword

  Shen Yi always felt that this demon-subduing sword technique was unusual.

It only took three to five years for my predecessor to master the bone-penetrating grapple to a great level, but when practicing this sword technique, I still concentrated on it, and it took eight years to achieve a small achievement.

It took thirty-three years to reach perfection and realize a glimmer of spiritual light.

If one can completely capture this aura, the effect will definitely not be comparable to that of ordinary martial arts.

His thoughts moved slightly, and all the ten years of demon longevity were poured into the demon subduing sword technique.

　　【You continue to hone your already perfect demon-subduing sword skills. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed, and that aura has become clearer and clearer. Unfortunately, your qualifications are mediocre and you really can't figure it out】

　　　…”

 “Is this the end?”

 Shen Yi felt stuffy in her heart, it had been ten years! It’s still ten years when you can give up all distracting thoughts for the purpose!

Even if you go to drive screws and give up all entertainment, you can buy a house in a small county in ten years.

Thrown it into the martial arts, but it can't even make a splash.

Having invested so much, it was impossible to give up, so Shen Yi simply continued to invest.

 【In the seventeenth year, you finally caught the light and began to try to put it into the book】

 【In the twenty-seventh year, you spent all your energy to perfect it and named it "Suppressing Demons and Zhengyang Sword"】

 【Remaining demon lifespan: thirty-six years】

 …

 “Create your own martial arts?”

 Suddenly, an article of martial arts and swordsmanship insights appeared in Shen Yi's mind.

 After he finished absorbing it, he realized that it was not what he had imagined.

 On the panel, there is an extra line of text behind the Demon Subduing Sword Technique.

 【Initial Realm. Demon-Suppressing Zhengyang Sword】

This is not a brand new martial arts, but something similar to a derived stunt, so there is no proficiency.

 After a total of sixty years of hard work, he desperately discovered that manpower will eventually be exhausted.

With a mortal body, no matter how proficient the swordsmanship is, or how hard the body is trained day and night, it is impossible to fight against those real big monsters.

So he proposed an idea of ​​mobilizing the essence and blood in the body, refining the essence and turning it into qi, and then controlling the qi with the long knife in his hand.

 “The first state?”

 Shen Yi looked at the prefix.

The last time I saw this word, it was on the instructions for killing the dog monster.

 The wise dog demon has not yet entered the initial stage.

In other words, this Zhengyang Sword has reached a certain level.

"If we continue to deduce the demon-subduing sword technique, is it possible to directly create a complete first-level martial arts instead of a simple sword technique?"

 Shen Yi turned off the panel, excitement filling her eyes.

 But soon, he rationally suppressed the idea of ​​pouring all the remaining life span into it.

 Obviously, creating your own martial arts is a matter of half the effort and half the effort. For the same demon longevity, investing in ready-made martial arts will definitely have better results.

I remember that the last time the captain of the Demon Suppression Division passed down more than one kind of martial arts. I had a small status in the yamen, so it was not difficult to obtain it.

 “Let’s rest first.”

 Suddenly experienced so many changes, and now her spirit relaxed, Shen Yi was suddenly enveloped in a strong sense of tiredness.

 He just made a motion to lie down.

The Liu family's father and daughter brought the hot water prepared in advance. The little girl soaked Shen Yi's feet in the hot water and kneaded them carefully with her rough hands.

Shen Yi closed her eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.

This was the first time he experienced the feeling of being served by others.

Based on the timid appearance of the two of them, it would be absolutely no problem for me to be an evil landlord and rich man in this family from today on.

But Shen Yi opened her eyes and just said thanks softly: "It's almost done. Let's go out. I'll rest for the night and then leave."

  Did not show too much other emotions.

After all, the numerous evil deeds of his predecessor are there, and no matter how gentle he behaves, he will only leave unnecessary worry and fear to the father and daughter.

　　After hearing this, Old Man Liu was stunned, and his muddy old eyes were filled with doubts.

But he quickly came to his senses, grabbed his daughter, and nodded repeatedly: "Master Shen, you're welcome, you can stay as long as you want. I'll call you if you need anything."

 The two of them stumbled away carrying the basin and went into the other house.

Liu Yatou was leaning against the window, unable to sleep all night long. When she closed her eyes, she could see Master Shen’s grinning face, and when she opened her eyes, she could see the dead body of the dog demon in the yard.

 Staying up until the rooster crows in the early morning, her eyes were groggy, and she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure outside.

The young man was wearing a black uniform, with a long back and a sword hanging on his waist. He looked very heroic.

He left the courtyard quietly. When he left, he held up the broken door that the dog demon had demolished, barely blocking some of the wind and cold. “Dad, Master Shen is gone.”

 "Huh... leaving? Good going... Huh..."

 …

Morning dew is moist, and a light mist lingers on the street.

 Shen Yi walked out of the fog and stood in front of the two stone lions.

　　Boyun County Government.

 He walked in through the side door with ease and walked into the waiting room.

There are seven or eight teams in the Boyun County Penal House. Shen Yi is just one of the small leaders. He leads eight servants, and his immediate boss is Song Changfeng, the head of the Penal House.

 Sit down in your own place.

Shen Yi casually flipped through the book on the table twice and found that he couldn't understand it at all.

This not only shows that he has no education, but also proves from the side that his predecessor also has no interest in official duties.

 The Great Qian Dynasty has been plagued by demons for many years. Although a demon-suppressing department has been established, the manpower has always been very insufficient.

The governance of demon damage is usually the main force in various places. After the situation is completely out of control, it will take over the local area and make a demon scan.

 The outcome is that the entire Yamen loses its authority and completely loses control of the local area.

It is precisely under this premise that the predecessor with a smart brain can take advantage of it.

Through the ability to negotiate with demons, not only did Baiyun County appear calm on the surface and gain the trust of its superiors, but it also prevented subordinates from actually fighting the demons, reducing many casualties and gaining great prestige.

 He handled things well, and after a few years, there was a faint tendency to succeed Song Changfeng.

Of course, not everyone is convinced.

Shen Yi's eyes swept across the empty class room and the wine jars scattered on the floor at the foot of the table. She picked one up and fell into silence.

 At this moment, a thin young man rushed in hastily.

 When he saw Shen Yi on the chair, his eyes flashed with disdain at first, then he quickly adjusted his mood, took off his hat, and revealed a handsome face: "I see Mr. Shen for my humble position."

 The visitor is called Chen Ji. He is the most junior in the class, but he has a good reputation.

The reason is that his exaggerated martial arts talent was even praised by the captain of the Demon Suppression Division.

 with with with withering energy, he suffered a lot at the hands of the demon, so he was severely criticized by his superiors and was given to Shen Yi for training.

The other party's parents died early, and he took his younger sister to live in Baiyun County.

It just so happens that my predecessor was also a hungry ghost.

 The two fought overtly and covertly, and finally ended with him obediently obeying orders, while Shen Yi promised not to move his sister, and they barely settled down.

Hmm, why do I feel like I have a way to die?

Shen Yi clenched his jaw and wandered away, but it was Chen Ji who broke the situation.

“Sir Shen, I just came back from Liuli Temple. Something happened in the village.”

 Chen Ji remembered the previous order of his superior, and there was confusion in his eyes, but he quickly explained: "Although you said you would not care about things outside the city for the time being, this time the monster did not obey the rules and actually took up residence in the village."

 He spoke faster and faster, seeming to be particularly worried about being interrupted by Shen Yi. It seemed that he had experienced similar situations many times before.

 “I hope…Master Shen can go…to negotiate…”

When he said the word "negotiation", a trace of shame flashed across Chen Ji's face. Even so, he tried his best to maintain a respectful tone and did not want to offend the other party.

 After all, according to Shen Yi's character, he usually deals with such situations in a perfunctory manner and never cares.

If you want the other party to come forward, you must make them happy.

"I remember last time, the captain of the Demon Suppression Division brought a total of three martial arts manuscripts. It seems that you borrowed them?"

Shen Yi stood up and walked to the door of the class room, stretching hard.

"ah?"

Chen Ji was stunned on the spot. Could it be that Mr. Shen didn't listen to what he was saying at all?

“Show it to me.” Shen Yi stretched out her hand.

Chen Ji took a deep breath, walked to his desk, and pulled out three well-preserved manuscripts. Veins bulged on the back of his hands.

 He stood for a long time, and finally handed it over with great heartache.

According to the other party's habits, this precious demon-subduing martial arts is either used to pad the corner of the table, or it is given as a rare thing to a lover for fun, and he will never take a look at it.

 Shen Yi took the copy and walked out of the door slowly.

 Chen Ji was left standing there in a daze, his hand holding the knife tighter and tighter.

The person named Shen didn't even ask, don't the lives of the people outside the city count?

At this moment, half a body suddenly leaned in from the door.

It was Shen Yi who had left and returned. His face was full of doubts: "Why are you standing there, leading the way?"
