Chapter 90: Immortal Fate from the Demon Suppression Division
Aoki County Government Office, inner residence.
The county government office consisted of the main hall and the second hall, where the magistrate exercised his power and handled affairs, forming the front yamen.
Behind the second hall is the inner residence, where the county magistrate works and his family lives, forming a layout of yamen in front and residence in the back.
The newly built Qingmu County Government Office was no exception.
In the inner courtyard, there was a pond with rippling water, and several koi carps of various colors were swimming and playing, creating slight ripples.
It is surrounded by corridors and has carved beams and painted buildings.
A woman in a goose yellow fairy dress was sitting on the railing, her eyebrows were like green feathers, slightly raised, her eyes were bright, revealing wisdom and strength, her face was like a peach blossom, but not weak and delicate, her delicate facial features had both feminine softness and heroic spirit that was not inferior to men, her radiance was shining when she looked around, her thick black hair was tied up, clean and neat, adding a bit of heroic spirit.
Liu Wanqiu scattered fish food here and there, muttering to herself.
"God damn it Qingwei, you brought this up for no reason and made me anxious again."
There was a hint of sadness between her brows.
She didn't complain much when they were talking in [Miro Palace] just now, but in fact, this matter has long been a big knot in her heart.
For the men in the family, if they cannot become "innate martial artists", at most they will gradually lose the respect of their elders, be marginalized by the family, and become increasingly inconspicuous. However, this is a good thing for "cultivating Taoism", as they can practice with peace of mind without being disturbed.
But women are different.
To be able to become a "congenital martial artist" means being extraordinary and above worldly rules. She is devoted to martial arts, and her family will not hinder her. Instead, they are happy to see it and fully support her.
After all, martial arts masters above the level of "Innate Martial Artist" are the family heritage, and marrying them into another family would be a great loss.
But if you cannot become a "congenital martial artist", then you should talk about marriage as soon as possible and raise children with your husband.
In the eyes of secular people, a girl who is still unmarried in her twenties is already an old maid.
The pressure on her is enormous.
"Miss!"
While Liu Wanqiu was sighing, a girl dressed as a maid ran over to her in the corridor, her tone anxious:
"Someone came from home again, urging us to go back."
Liu Wanqiu raised her eyebrows:
"Where are they?"
"The eldest master sent him away."
Liu Wanqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt fortunate.
The one who loves her the most in the family is her eldest brother.
The eldest brother Liu Zhongchang is extremely talented, both civil and military. He is the leader of this generation of the family and has a status beyond his peers. He can have positive conversations and discuss things with the elders in the family.
Over the years, if it weren't for her eldest brother's protection, her family would have planned to arrange a marriage for her.
"Big brother still cares about me."
"Miss, the eldest young master sent a message, asking you to think carefully and not to lose your temper. The dissatisfaction at home is getting stronger and stronger, and it is not easy for him to protect you."
"I know."
Liu Wanqiu waved her hand, and any hesitation in her heart disappeared, and she made up her mind secretly.
"It's hard to find an immortal fate, and I've entered a dragon's den and a tiger's lair."
The training room in the side courtyard of An Mansion.
Qiu Zhen put away the [Demonic Ape Map to Calm the World] given by Pharmacist An.
In fact, with his talent for comprehension, he understood the [Demonic Ape Suppressing the World Diagram] thoroughly after just half a quarter of an hour of contemplation, and basically mastered the method of how to draw evil spirits into the body and temper the flesh.
It’s a pity that he is not interested in martial arts.
Just now, he had put all his energy into comprehending the [Method of Summoning Divine Generals] taught by Fairy Yun Rou.
"Use my Yuanming spirit to summon the void spirit, combine my own Qi with the void Qi, add the step of Gang Jue Yue, secret spell and magic talisman, move the thunder in my palm, and wrap the heaven and earth in my body."
Qiu Zhen murmured to himself, comprehending the secret of the method.
The key to the method of summoning divine generals to perform on the altar is to use the mind to mobilize one's own essence, energy and spirit to resonate with the external gods, summon them together and refine them into "divine generals".
The key to refining generals, or "refining spirits", lies in "external divine induction".
Just as Fairy Yunrou said, without the "magic talisman" granted by the heaven in the legend, it would be impossible to "sensitize external gods" and summon and train generals.
"The road is really blocked."
Qiu Zhen shook his head, feeling quite regretful, and put away the [Demonic Ape Map of the World], returned it to Ankang, and quickly left An Mansion.
Just now, Fairy Yunrou suggested going out on an adventure and going deep into the mountains to look for immortal fate, but he did not agree and declined the suggestion.
With his primordial spirit and Dharma body, he has basically no bottleneck in his current practice. If he goes smoothly for 20 years, he can complete the practice of [Refining Essence into Qi], without having to deliberately take risks to seek immortal fate. If he gets immortal fate after surviving a lot of dangers, at most he will have a little more magic power and a little improvement in cultivation and magic power, which is not worth the risk.
We only have one life, and steady practice is the right way.
Qiu Zhen left the An Mansion and went straight to the Demon Suppression Division.
Today is the day we agreed to go to the Demon Suppression Division to exorcise evil spirits.
Compared to taking risks in the mountains to search for immortality, the Demon Suppression Division exorcises evil spirits and encounters fewer evil thoughts. The advantage is that it is a long-term approach without any danger.
"drive!"
Qiu Zhen rode his horse to the Demon Suppression Division with ease. A groom led the horse and fed it grass for him. He went straight into the yamen.
Along the way, martial artists and clerks from the Demon Suppression Division greeted him when they saw him.
As a "demon and evil spirit", he returned to the Demon Suppression Bureau as easily and naturally as returning home.
As soon as he arrived at the backyard of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Qiu Zhen was slightly surprised.
I saw a group of listless people, some leaning on the railings, some squatting on the ground. The place was packed with people, and at a glance there were probably over a hundred of them.
"Dr. Qiu, you are finally here."
When the Demon-Suppressing Captain Wu Chuanfeng saw Qiu Zhen, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Captain Wu, what happened?"
"There was a demonic disaster, and many people were infected with evil spirits. We had to trouble Doctor Qiu to exorcise the evil spirits."
Qiu Zhen nodded slightly.
Speaking of which, this year he came to the Demon Suppression Bureau for medical treatment. In addition to exorcising evil spirits for the Demon Suppression Martial Artists, he also occasionally treated people. If there were people in the Demon Suppression Bureau who were contaminated by evil spirits in the "Demon and Evil Cases", he would also help to treat them. Basically, he would not refuse anyone who asked him for help.
Speaking of which, the leaders of the Demon Suppression Bureau were quite generous. After learning about the situation, they gave an extra annual salary.
In a year, it’s almost one thousand taels of silver.
As a professional in exorcism, Qiu Zhen did not say much. He found a clean clinic and began to exorcise the evil spirits.
At first, he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just an ordinary exorcism.
But soon, not only him, but even the little jujube that turned into a "wooden needle" noticed something strange.
"Sir, why are there so many evil thoughts today when we are exorcising evil spirits?"
"If it is really as Fairy Yunrou said, it is not peaceful again. There must be a demonic disaster behind the immortal fate."
Qiu Zhen was holding the "wooden needle" transformed by the little wood elf, and was also very surprised.
Generally speaking, if it is a person who is infected with "evil spirit", he will use ordinary silver needles to exorcise the evil spirits. If the person has "evil thoughts", he will use the "lightning-struck divine wood needle" transformed by the little wood spirit as a cover to restrain the "evil thoughts".
In the eyes of outsiders, it was the lightning-struck sacred tree needle that refined the "evil thoughts", but in fact it was he who took away the evil thoughts.
This was his biggest motivation for coming to the Demon Suppression Division to exorcise evil spirits.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not.
On weekdays, Qiu Zhen would only occasionally receive a few evil thoughts, but today he was struck by evil.
He exorcised evil spirits for six people, three of whom had "evil thoughts".
The proportion is staggeringly high.
Compared to last year's outbreak of the demonic disaster, the influx of victims is even worse.
A single evil thought can save you at least ten to twenty days of hard training, and at most forty to fifty days.
If he accumulates more evil thoughts, his cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds.
It would take him six years to perfect the [Night Wandering God] realm, but if he continued to refine the devil and extract the "essence of spiritual energy", it would not take six years at all.
"Oh my goodness, this is going to happen."
Qiu Zhen couldn't help but murmur in his heart, and was glad that he didn't agree to let Fairy Yun Rou go deep into the mountains to look for immortality.
What kind of immortal fate can compare to this?
PS: The first order is just over 2,000, so quality is expected and the results are acceptable.
