Life Twenty years of life is not long at all.
For Shen Yi, it was a huge surprise.
When he traveled through time, his previous incarnation only had thirty years left to live. At most, he would die in his fifties. He was a real short-lived ghost.
The so-called deadline is approaching, this is the destiny.
With the help of the Wind and Thunder Scroll, he managed to achieve perfection in his physical body, but he was ultimately still limited to the realm of mortals.
It is not easy to be able to extend the deadline slightly.
Shen Yi calmed his mind and looked forward to the inspection of the Demon Suppression Division in a month.
Of course, before that, we need to make preparations for both scenarios.
One is strength.
The Daqian Dynasty established the Demon Suppression Division, which was independent of the imperial court.
Among them, the lowest-ranking one, even if he had no soldiers or generals under his command, was specially appointed as a seventh-rank colonel, comparable to the county magistrate of Baiyun County.
He was just an ordinary captain, but he could casually give Chen Ji the Wind and Thunder Scroll, a method of transcendence, simply because he had good talent.
If you want to join this group of people, you must show your extraordinary qualities.
Initial stage... or higher?
Shen Yi was not sure, but it would not hurt to have a higher level of cultivation.
Although he now has neither martial arts techniques nor elixirs, he was able to comprehend the initial level of martial arts from the Demon-Subduing Sword Technique. Now he has half of the Wind and Thunder Scroll. As long as he is willing to spend his life, he will be able to deduce something.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi looked at the panel, feeling quite distressed.
Just now I felt that I had made a fortune, but in the time it took to eat a meal, I became a pauper again.
[Remaining demon lifespan: 17 years]
Killing monsters is not easy.
Shen Yi only had the opportunity to be alone with the demons thanks to the network of relationships of his predecessor, but as one demon after another disappeared, the trust that had been built up over the years would collapse at an unimaginable speed.
A good ironsmith must be strong himself. Shen Yi must accumulate enough strength to face their crazy counterattack before the demons find out that he has betrayed him!
In addition to strength.
The second is reputation. After all, if the current situation continues, the government will not be able to hide its tracks.
When the captain of the Demon Suppression Division arrived in Baiyun County, I'm afraid that before killing the demons, the first thing he would do is to push the "famous" Master Shen to the Caishikou and cut him into pieces.
But there is no need to rush this matter.
As long as you kill enough monsters, your reputation will naturally improve.
"Um..."
Shen Yi stood at the door and stretched his body. He didn't have to worry about losing his life next year, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
At this moment, two officers came running from the end of the street, panting and saying, "Sir Shen, we finally found you! Song wants you to go back and report on your duties."
"Debriefing?"
Hearing the sound, Chen Ji, who was cleaning up the dishes, raised his head.
The Songtou mentioned by the two people was Song Changfeng, the head of the criminal department.
In theory, it is normal for subordinates to report their work to their superiors.
But this is not the case in Baiyun County Government Office.
Song Tou was in his forties, originally an age of high spirits. However, because he stood on the wrong side in dealing with demons, he was suppressed by the government office one after another, and he could no longer control his subordinate Shen Yi.
And although he was upright in his conduct, he was not a tough person. He watched helplessly as the water in Baiyun County became increasingly muddy, and although he was angry, he did not dare to really stand up and make any accusations.
After being suppressed, my spirit gradually faded.
He might as well just be a hands-off boss, spending his days with a cup of tea in his hand, and avoid Shen Yi whenever possible to avoid losing face.
Why did you come here today?
"I'm going to the government office and I'll have a rest early. You don't have to keep the lights on for me."
Chen Ji turned around and took away his sword, and Chen Jinyu nodded obediently. She had always been worried that her brother had a stubborn temper and could not tolerate any injustice, and would be ostracized and bullied by other colleagues while on duty. Now it seemed that he had found a trustworthy boss.
Thinking of this, she quietly looked at the tall figure at the door. She wondered what kind of person could convince her arrogant brother so much.
Shen Yi turned around and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What? Put down the knife and wash your dishes."
"..."Chen Ji silently threw away the knife.
Shen Yi looked at the two officers in front of him again. They were his subordinates.
But at this moment, the two of them avoided eye contact, obviously hiding something in their hearts.
The person who could scare them so much and ask them to come over was most likely not that Songtou.
"Let's go."
Shen Yi didn't ask any more questions and walked onto the street.
The two officers led the way in front without making a sound, all the way back to the classroom.
The fatter one finally turned around and said in a low voice with a bitter face: "Please be careful..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned back immediately.
The two of them stood in front of the closed door: "Boss Song, Lord Shen is here!"
Hearing this, Shen Yi was a little confused. Is it really Song Changfeng?
After just a moment of daze, a response came from inside the door, but it was not from Song Tou...
Bang! Bang!
Two large holes were punched in the wooden door, and a dark shadow emerged, piercing through the chests of the two officers at the same time.
Shen Yi stared at the two dark shadows sticking out from the officer's back. They were a pair of hands with wrinkled skin and black hair.
At this moment, both palms grasped a slightly twitching heart, slowly stretched them in front of him, and the sharp nails suddenly pierced into it!
"Brother Shen, why are you standing still?"
"…"
Shen Yi closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the warm, smelly air.
Then, he kicked the door fiercely!
As the wooden door shattered, a sharp cry suddenly came from inside, and then the black shadow quickly rushed to the back.
Shen Yi walked in slowly, looking around with an indifferent gaze.
The first person that caught my eye was Song Changfeng, whose face was filled with misery. This middle-aged man was kneeling in front of a rattan chair, his whole body shaking like a sieve. It was not entirely because of fear, but more of the reason was on his shoulders.
It was a thick, powerful, hairy thigh.
Just pressing casually on Song Changfeng's shoulder could cause almost all of his bones to be broken and he was sweating profusely from the pain.
The owner of the hairy thighs was lying in a rattan chair, wearing a loose Confucian robe. He slowly propped himself up with his elbows, poked out an ugly ape face, and bared his teeth slightly: "Brother, sit down."
In addition to it, there are two other ape monsters in the house.
One of them was hunched over with his arms hanging down to the ground, and his face was full of hostility.
Blood was still dripping from its fingertips, and it was obvious that the "show of force" just now came from its hands.
"Why did you come just now... Look at what you have done..."
Song Changfeng's face twitched, and he was almost emotionally broken: "This is how you deal with demons. You have sent them to the government office..."
I don't know what happened before, but a grown man was now crying and sobbing like a nagging woman.
Shen Yi looked at the table and saw three bloody dog heads neatly placed on it.
He turned around and glanced at the two warm bodies of the servants at the door.
The old ape in Confucian robes smacked his lips, stretched out his claws to touch Song Changfeng's head, and said with a smile: "There is another one, it's here."
As he spoke, the other two ape monsters had quietly blocked the door.
