MTL - Begin Immortality By Slaying Demons

Chapter 8 Wind and Thunder Treasure Scroll

Walking on the streets of Boyun County, Shen Yi asked these girls one by one where they lived.

 He drove away the rest of the officers, mainly because he disliked the reputation of this group of people and was not suitable to follow him.

Even so, people on the street avoided him like a plague.

Shen Yi shook her head and knocked on the broken wooden door in front of her.

The person who opened the door was a woman with tears in her eyes. When she saw the young man carrying a knife, she subconsciously wanted to close the door and hide.

Shen Yi stretched out her hand to stop her and turned sideways. A little girl immediately threw herself into the woman's arms, crying hoarsely and out of breath: "Mother!"

The woman was stunned for a long time, her red and swollen eyes blinking again and again, as if in disbelief. Then the tip of her nose became sore, and she hugged her thin body tightly: "My son! Those officials who kill a thousand people!"

The words stopped suddenly, and she secretly looked at the tall figure in front of her, realizing that she had said the wrong thing.

However, Shen Yi seemed not to hear it. She turned around and took two bags of rice noodles and a piece of pork from Chen Ji's hand. She bent down and placed them at the woman's feet.

“The child has been hungry for a long time and was frightened, so I went to cook some meat porridge for her to replenish her body.”

Chen Ji was carrying rice noodles, with a hint of surprise in his dull expression.

Mr. Shen, who had had a cold face all day, actually cupped his hands and clasped his fists with an apologetic smile, and then gently closed the door for the mother and daughter.

What a hell!

 This situation occurred six more times in succession.

 After sending all the girls home, Shen Yi retreated to the street and rubbed the stiff corners of her mouth: "..."

Looking at his actions, Chen Jinyu couldn't help but chuckle, feeling inexplicably funny.

The other person is obviously not good at getting along with others, let alone apologizing. Despite his calm appearance, his whole body is actually stiff.

“Brother, is this your new boss in the yamen?”

Hearing this, Chen Ji silently glanced at his sister: "No, he is Shen Yi."

Hearing this name, Chen Jinyu subconsciously covered her red lips. Although she had never met the owner of this name, that was because her brother had always protected her and she had heard of his bad reputation.

 “Stay away from him.”

Chen Ji warned softly, but his mood became more complicated.

 It was not only Shen Yi's changes that he couldn't understand, but also because there were more important things that needed to be resolved.

Now that the girls have been sent back, how should we deal with those old apes?

 At the appointed time, what should Shen Yi bring to hand?

 “Master Shen.”

 Chen Ji slowly approached. Shen Yi came back to her senses and glanced at him casually: "The rest is for your sister, take it all back."

 “This is not what I want to say!”

Chen Ji gritted his teeth with a headache. He couldn't understand why the other party kept changing the topic.

The same is true for the previous dog demon. Could it be that as long as we keep silent about these problems, we can treat them as if they don’t exist?

 Under his gaze, Shen Yi stood with her hands down, and after a moment she said calmly: "I don't know."

The simple four-word reply made Chen Ji suddenly change his expression: "Are you kidding me?"

 Shen Yi looked calmly.

 He is telling the truth.

 Today's Baiyun County is already beset by crises, and it is far from a problem that can be solved by a bad person simply changing his past.

The black-skinned dog demon suddenly attacked him in the Liu family, Huang Laoliu and his wife lived in the village, and the ape demon became more and more demanding.

They are all treating the unspoken rules set with the Baiyun County Yamen as **** and trampling on them.

This shows that either the backsliding of the officials has fueled the demon's arrogance, or they also know the news that the Demon Suppressor is coming, and are worried that the Yamen will rebel, and want to vent their anger at the last moment.

 Shen Yi is just a petty official. He is not qualified to communicate with the Demon Suppressor, so he does not have the ability to change the situation.

Either hand-deliver the entire county's people to the demons to destroy at will, or take off these clothes as soon as possible and prioritize self-preservation.

  【My remaining life span: one year】

 He turned around and looked sideways, looking at the cold words on the panel.

There is no point in protecting yourself. If you want to survive, you can only hope that there is the kind of advanced martial arts here that can extend your life span.

Whether you rely on the panel to deduce or go into the Demon Suppression Department to search, you can't do without slaying demons. The only thing Shen Yi could rely on was the long knife in his hand.

 “Let’s go.” He took steps.

 “Where to go?” Chen Ji followed suit.

 “I’m going to your house for some food. I’m hungry.”

　　　…”

 Obviously, Chen Ji was very resistant to Shen Yi stepping into his home.

 But after what happened today, although he was extremely unhappy, he still acquiesced to the situation.

 The brother and sister lived in a house assigned by the yamen.

There was only one bedroom for Chen Jinyu to sleep in, and a small woodshed behind it, which was turned into Chen Ji's residence.

 “Brother, come in and sit down.”

 “No, you’re going to cook.”

Chen Ji buried his head and took Shen Yi into the woodshed and dragged out two small benches.

"Is it too much?" Shen Yi raised her eyebrows and looked at the bench that was only one foot high. What was the difference between it and sitting directly on the ground: "Your sister's room is quite spacious. I'm not a thief. Just be careful. What do I do?"

"Let's make it work." Chen Ji walked to the bed, opened the straw mat, and took out a yellowed page from underneath.

He closed his eyes and hesitated for a long time, and the scene of Shen Yi holding hands and stabbing the dog demon to death appeared in his mind, which was in sharp contrast to the smile on his face when he came to return the favor.

"I don't care if you really have no choice or if you don't want to tell me, I really can't help you."

Chen Ji opened his eyes and handed the page over: "This is for you."

"What's this?"

 Shen Yi took it and took a quick look, her expression gradually changed.

ˆ Without waiting for Chen Ji’s answer, the panel had already given the answer.

 【Wind and Thunder Treasure Volume 1 (Part 1 (not yet started))】

“Back then, the captain of the Demon Suppressing Division came to me alone and said that I was quite talented. In addition to the three martial arts skills, he wrote this seventy-eight-character mantra for me alone.”

“This is the method of refining medicine, muscles, bones, skin and flesh, the four major points. Once practiced to perfection, it will be the pinnacle of human beings.”

Chen Ji looked self-deprecating and said with a smile: "The captain has a pair of sharp eyes, but he missed you alone. I don't know if he has seen through your character a long time ago. It's a pity that I haven't even been able to break through the first level in three years. "

“I’m giving it to you now, so it probably won’t do much good, but I don’t have anything else to help with... Just take your time, I’ll go out and help with the cooking.”

 In response to what Chen Ji said, Shen Yi suppressed her joy and just waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

There is nothing wrong with what the other party said. No matter how advanced martial arts is, improvising will not be of much use.

 However, it is completely different for myself.

 【Remaining demon life span: one hundred and ninety-nine years】

 Fortunately, I could endure it in the morning.

Shen Yi breathed steadily, still following the old rules, let’s do it for ten years first.

Ten years of demon longevity were instantly poured into the Wind and Thunder Treasure Scroll, and a few lines of text quietly appeared.

 【In the first year, you familiarize yourself with the method of medicinal refining, and use the essence of heaven and earth to nourish the muscles of your body】

 【In the third year, there is no medicine available, you can only absorb the negligible essence through diet, and the progress is slow】

【In the seventh year, you have faint signs of breaking through, and your body is as strong as a dragon, but you suffer from insufficient energy, so you can only take it step by step and accumulate more and more】

 【In the tenth year, you break through the barrier, the introduction to the first part of the Wind and Thunder Treasure Volume】

 …
