Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 111 A Corner of Truth

The next morning, Yang Qian opened his eyes on the big bed in the brothel, ignored the two singers on the bed, put on his clothes and left Qiuhua Tower.

As soon as he went out, he saw Jiang Yun standing on the side of the road waving at him, so the two of them found a nearby noodle shop, sat down and ordered a bowl of vegetarian noodles each for breakfast.

"Haha, Brother Yang, you got up so late, I guess you worked hard last night, right? How are you? The girls in this small town are no worse than those in the city, right?"

Yang Qian smiled and didn't respond. He had some understanding of Jiang Yun's character. He was unrestrained and self-indulgent. However, Yang Qian had his own standards and he was always on guard against the red-clothed thief.

It was just that the other party's secret conversation yesterday aroused Yang Qian's curiosity, so he came out in the morning and accepted the appointment to have a good chat.

"So, Master Jiang knew long ago that there was an evil spirit lurking in Qiuhua Tower?"

"Hey, Brother Yang, are you questioning me? Let me guess. Brother Yang, you use a bull-tail knife and are used to talking to people in a questioning way. You must be a government official, right? A police chief?"

Yang Qian didn't think there was anything to hide, so he nodded and didn't deny it.

"Haha, no wonder. The job of the police station is to kill thieves and demons. They regard demons as snakes and rats and want to get rid of them as soon as possible.

However, in fact, once they are out of the sight of the government, not all evil spirits need to be killed.

Brother Yang, if you are interested, can you listen to me and tell you about it?"

Yang Qian nodded while eating noodles. He was very curious about how a cultivator like Jiang Yun viewed evil spirits. How could they coexist with evil spirits that liked to eat people? Was there any reason for this?
Jiang Yun could naturally see the contempt on Yang Qian's face, and he also understood why Yang Qian was like that, but he still smiled and said, "Brother Yang, do you know how many types of cultivators there are in this world?"

"Immortal Sect and Evil Path?"

"Brother Yang, do you think I belong to the immortal sect or the evil sect?"

"This..." Yang Qian was really stumped by the question.

Although Jiang Yun had robbed a Taoist before, the methods used by his brothers and sisters in the sect had nothing to do with evil, so they obviously could not be classified as evil, but they were obviously not from the immortal sect. Yang Qian of Tianhan Sect had never heard of it, and they were definitely not from a serious sect if they robbed a Taoist.

Seeing Yang Qian was speechless for a moment, Jiang Yun smiled and said, "What do you think? Brother Yang also knows that I am neither an immortal sect nor an evil sect, right? In fact, our Tianhan Sect belongs to independent cultivators."

"Random cultivators? Do you mean idle cultivators?" Yang Qian also reacted. This is the same as warriors. Some are in the military, some are in the government, and some are wandering around the countryside.

"You can understand it this way. Let's not talk about the evil ways, let's talk about the immortal gates. Each immortal gate covers all directions and has a large base area. Most of the resources consumed by their cultivation are obtained from the base area, and a small part is provided by the country where they are located. This includes the source of the seedlings they open to recruit disciples.

These Yang brothers should have experienced something at the opening ceremony of the Five Thunder Palace, right?"

"Master Jiang means that the Immortal Sect is squeezing you out, so you independent cultivators are short of resources and roots, and your situation is difficult?" Yang Qian swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and then guessed what Jiang Yun meant based on what he said.

"That's right, Brother Yang is a smart man. The Immortal Gate is like a huge whirlpool to us casual cultivators, which fiercely sucks away all the edible things in the surrounding water. Not only do we have to resist its suction, but we also have to desperately find food, otherwise we will starve to death.

In fact, compared to the immortal sect, the life of a casual cultivator cannot be called difficult, it should be said that they do everything they can. "After Jiang Yun finished speaking, he buried his head in his noodles, leaving Yang Qian to ponder for a while.

What does this mean? Yang Qian felt that Jiang Yun did not have the kind of otherworldly and ethereal air of the cultivators he knew. Instead, he was more like a bandit in the mountains or a thug in Masheng Lane!
After Jiang Yun quickly finished the noodles in the bowl, he continued, "Similar to our situation, not all demon cultivators gather under the command of the demon kings, there are also many demon cultivators scattered around and hiding.

For example, the three fox demons last night were like this. Even the entire Qiuhua Tower is actually controlled by scattered demons, and they are mainly engaged in intelligence trading. "

"Isn't the Demon King behind this?" This is what Yang Qian is most concerned about.

"No, I heard it was a great demon from the fox tribe, but it's not strong enough to be called a king."

"So, the scattered demons and you scattered cultivators are all wanderers in the world, so we sympathize with each other?"

"Brother Yang, what you said is wrong. How can humans and monsters sympathize with each other? It's just mutual benefit."

Yang Qian did not argue with Jiang Yun, and changed the subject to ask: "Then why doesn't the Immortal Sect care about these scattered monsters?"

It is understandable to ignore the evil insects. After all, the insects are not very powerful. As long as the government offices and military offices in various places deal with them properly, there will not be any big trouble.

But demon cultivators were different. Yang Qian had experienced it personally, and he didn't think that ordinary constables or guards could deal with demon cultivators.

Compared with the evil insects, demon cultivators are simply two different creatures.

"Too many, too many to handle. The main opponents of the immortal sects are the evil ways and the various demon kings. It takes a lot of effort for each immortal sect to deal with them. Most of the scattered demons hide here and there. Unless they cause a big mess, such as rampaging and slaughtering people everywhere, the immortal sects will just turn a blind eye.

The scattered demons also know this, so it is rare for them to wreak havoc in a place. Just like in Qingyang Town, if you don’t investigate carefully, who would know that there are still demons and evil spirits here for a long time? Even if you ask the permanent residents here, they won’t know. "

"." Yang Qian was suddenly speechless.

These were things Yang Qian had never known before. He even thought that all cultivators and demons were in an irreconcilable relationship. Who would have thought that it was just wishful thinking on his part?

But it was just a momentary shock to his cognition. Yang Qian was not some kind of white lotus who was compassionate to the gods. He himself did not think that he was a good person. At most, he was not too bad. What qualifications did he have to demand too much from others?

Put aside the distracting thoughts in your mind and see the world more clearly.

Changing the subject, Yang Qian looked at Jiang Yun and said, "Thank you, Master Jiang, for clearing up my doubts. However, there is one more thing that I would like to ask you to clarify."

"Brother Yang, please speak."

"Master Jiang has been so kind to me. I'm afraid it's not just a matter of fighting and not knowing each other. If you have something to say, just tell me. There's really no need to beat around the bush."

Jiang Yun was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "Brother Yang, you are so straightforward! Then I won't hide anything. I do have something I want to ask Brother Yang for help."
