I have been slaying demons in the Demon Slayer Division for thirty years
Chapter 35: Don’t recognize each other when meeting
Fishing market.
It was busy and lively, and it seemed like people from the entire county were gathered here.
Zhou Yi and Hu Jiuying were hidden among the clouds and looked down.
"Is this your bad idea?"
"Didn't the Immortal have any objections?"
Hu Jiuying pursed her lips and chuckled. A thousand-year-old vixen is best at playing with people's hearts.
Zhou Yi's eyes were indifferent and he looked down at an official sedan chair.
"Those who try to test humanity will eventually fall into the abyss of humanity!"
The official sedan was located in the middle of the fishing market, and merchants and people passing by it all spontaneously walked around it.
Two children, a boy and a girl, ran around the sedan, laughing happily.
"Huh? Who are you?"
The boy suddenly saw a little girl of three or four years old not far away, looking at the sedan in a daze.
"I don't know." The little girl's eyes were confused.
"Lost? Just stand here and don't move! Daddy, Daddy, a little sister is lost."
The boy waved and shouted not far away. Feng Zhen, who was communicating with merchants, heard the voice and hurried over, fearing that someone was selling people in Fuzhou County.
Selling people is a serious crime in Daqian. It is the same as being a bandit, robbing homes, and minting coins privately. Not only will it be punished by death, but the wife and family will be exiled for three thousand miles without knowing it. If they know it, they will be sentenced to death as an accessory.
When Feng Zhen saw the little girl, he asked in a gentle voice: "Little girl, who is your name? Where do you live? Do you have any family with you?"
"My home is in Zhengpingfang, the capital. I don't remember my family."
The little girl was Feng Ling'er. She transformed into the person she was before she was imprisoned. She looked at Feng Zhen with a complicated expression and couldn't say "Daddy" out loud.
"A person from the capital was actually abducted so far away. The county must thoroughly investigate the criminal to prevent another person from being killed."
Feng Zhen looked angry and summoned a group of servants: "Lao Qi, call a few servants to hire a carriage to take the little girl home, and collect the expenses from the Yamen."
Qi Bantou agreed repeatedly, and several people led Feng Ling'er away.
Feng Zhen looked at Feng Ling'er's retreating back, and tears suddenly flowed from his eyes.
Yan Dianli, who came after hearing the sound, asked strangely: "Sir, why are you crying?"
"It's okay, the wind blew the sand and blinded my eyes."
Feng Zhen rubbed his eyes and suddenly asked: "Old Yan, if one person does evil and does thousands of good deeds, can they cancel each other out?"
"Absolutely not possible! Good and evil balance each other out, so why should the law be used? If those evil gentry and businessmen harm people, why don't they need to arrest them if they build bridges, repair roads, donate money to do good deeds?"
Yan Dianli was a disciple of the Legalists and the most radical business school among the Legalists, who believed in using severe punishments to eliminate crime.
Anyone who commits crimes will be investigated and dealt with strictly. Killing all the criminals will naturally bring peace to the world.
Feng Zhen nodded slightly in agreement and couldn't help but sigh.
Feng Ling'er cast an illusion on the way and met his family members who were looking for him. He left the guards behind and joined Zhou Yi.
"Sir, Ling'er's wish has been fulfilled. I don't know how long it will take to go to Qingqiu."
Feng Ling'er took out a piece of jade the size of a palm, with osmanthus trees and jade rabbit patterns on it, which was very exquisite.
"This is the Mingyue Baoyu that was left behind by my mother. It can gather the moonlight from the lunar calendar and is very magical for making wine and tea. I gave it to you as a souvenir. If you have any instructions from me in the future, you can send someone to Qingqiu with a jade jue. Ling'er will not hesitate to die."
Zhou Yi took Yujue and waved his hand: "Go. The road is far away, and misfortune and fortune are unpredictable. I hope you remember what you said."
Feng Ling'er bowed to Zhou Yi three times, transformed into his original fox body, and jumped into Hu Jiuying's arms.
"Chief Immortal, Jiuying takes his leave. We will never see you again!"
After Hu Jiuying finished speaking, it was as if the fox's tail was on fire, turning into light and disappearing into the sky.
Zhou Yi gently caressed Mingyue Baoyu, and a cool air entered his body. After encountering the magic power, the ice melted and the snow melted, turning into Taiyin spiritual energy.
Ordinary people have been in contact with Mingyue White Jade for a long time, and the yin in the soul, body, and yang will decline, and the jade will disappear in a few years.
Feng Zhen's cheekbones are peaked, his canopy is heavy, and his wife is tortured. He lost his wife in middle age, and his later life is desolate.
There was a rain in Kyoto that year, which triggered a reward to catch monsters. Feng Ling'er and her daughter were not the only ones who died unjustly. There were many entangled causes and consequences, but Zhou Yi happened to run into it.
The stronger the monk is, the more restraint he needs.
Perhaps a random spell caused the mountains and the ground to collapse, and among them was a young man whose whole family died in a landslide, who got an adventure and embarked on a road of revenge.
How to live longer?
Only Gou!
Zhou Yi glanced in the direction of Qingqiu Mountain and disappeared into the sky into a ray of light.
"I hope we will never see each other again, and this relationship will be completely resolved..."
…
Tongfu Inn.
When Zhou Yi came back, he found a luxurious carriage parked at the door.
Shopkeeper Bai, who hasn't seen him for more than a month, is enjoying Lao Zhou's secret fried chicken with the old man in rich clothes.
Zhou Yi greeted: "Shopkeeper Bai is back, can you find your young master?"
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your hard work. I have found the young master. He is in the palace of Dingdu."
Shopkeeper Bai introduced: "This is the head of the family. I came to Beijing this time to see the young master."
Mr. Bai had already stood up, cupped his fists and said, "Yuzhou, Mr. Bai Xingye, the fried chicken he invented is very delicious."
"Hengyang, Book of Changes."
Zhou Yi bowed his hand and returned the gift: "It's just ordinary fried goods, as long as Master Bai likes them."
Bai Xingye took out a banknote and said: "Mr. Zhou has worked hard to look after the store during this period. It's not polite, but I hope you will accept it."
Zhou Yi was slightly startled. How could anyone give him a banknote when meeting him? Were the ancients so reasonable, honest, and sacrificial for others?
"Master Bai, you're welcome. Even though I've been reading at the door for a few days, I haven't picked up the full sign yet."
"I still have to collect it, Mr. Wanwang Haihan."
Bai Xingye bowed slightly and offered it with both hands.
"interesting……"
Zhou Yi calculated with his fingers and suddenly understood. He reached out and took the banknote: "Then I'll thank the Bai Family Master."
After saying that, he left directly and returned to the guest room upstairs.
Shopkeeper Bai said in a low voice: "My boss, although Mr. Zhou is just a junior official in the Demon Slaying Department, he has extraordinary bearing. Why don't you make some friends?"
"Not only is the magnificence extraordinary, it is simply extraordinary!"
Bai Xingye sighed: "If I had met Mr. Zhou 20 years ago, I would have walked over to him and asked him to go home to support him."
"It's different now. The Bai family's business is booming, they are not short of wealth, and they are married to the Marquis of Dingdu. They can barely be regarded as a family of the commander-in-chief."
"When your family is in decline, you should be generous and make friends with strange people in order to turn around and counterattack as soon as possible. When it is prosperous, you should be stingy and avoid socializing with experts and weirdos, so that you can be stable and wealthy for a long time!"
Bai Xingye said earnestly: "Demon Slayer Division, who are the people in that place? No one from the Bai family can get involved. One of them may be dead and the whole family will be wiped out."
Shopkeeper Bai suddenly realized: "So the owner of the house offered a thousand taels of silver to reward Mr. Zhou for looking after the store. Isn't it a bit too much?"
"It's not just about looking at the store? Don't forget about the fried chicken!"
Bai Xingye sighed: "It's most tiring to deal with strange people and strangers. If you give too little, you won't be considerate. If you give too much, you'll look down on them. Resentment will arise out of thin air..."
"The head of the family is so tall!"
Shopkeeper Bai suddenly understood why the head of the family was able to start a business from scratch. He just said that the effort spent on dealing with interpersonal relationships was far more than a hundred times that of ordinary people.
The second floor of the inn.
Bai Xingye's words reached Zhou Yi's ears word for word.
"I didn't expect to be disliked."
Zhou Yi didn't have any anger. Bai Xingye was right, not to mention generous.
In a world dominated by immortals, Buddhas and demons, ordinary people are in a difficult situation and must have their own wisdom for survival.
"With one thousand taels of silver notes, plus the saved salary and money from selling calligraphy, I can buy a small courtyard."
"Since people don't like us, why bother with us?"
"It's a pity that the world is looking for gods, but the gods are in trouble..."
