Chapter 13: Reunion with an Old Friend

The first time Zhou Yi saw Fa Hai, he almost thought they were brothers.

The temperament has changed too much.

I once had a very pleasant conversation with Fa Hai. He was as gentle as jade, compassionate and compassionate, and his breath was as bright as the moon, which made people feel at ease.

Now he stood behind Captain Wang, motionless, and the invisible pressure made all the torturers cautious.

Captain Wang introduced: "This is Master Fahai from Jinguang Temple, also known as the Immortal Master of the Demon Slayer Division as you usually call him!"

"Amitabha!"

Fa Haikou announced the name of Buddha, and his sharp eyes swept over all the torturers. Only when he saw Zhou Yi, his eyes softened a little.

The level of the breath-holding and disappearing spell is too low, and its effect in front of Fahai is almost non-existent.

Zhou Yi was originally worried about exposing his magic practice. Some spiritual eyes and magic eyes can see through monks who are stronger than himself. It seems that Fahai has not practiced such magic.

Seven thousand years of Taoist practice allowed Zhou Yi to easily see through the sea of ​​​​dharma, and he was already in the upper third level of Buddhist cultivation in refining the gods.

"Master Fahai is here today specifically to transform the naked witch and prevent her from using magic to escape."

Lieutenant Wang looked solemn: "This is the first time I have taken over the task of Prison A since I have been on duty. There must be no problems!"

There have been no criminals in Prison A in the execution room for seven years. Most of the prisoners have never seen a prisoner in Prison A from the time they entered to the time they left.

"Han Er, take Master Fahai to Jiajiu Prison!"

When Han Er heard his name, his legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground, almost crying.

Demons are more dangerous than demons, and the demons in Jiaji Prison are the most dangerous.

In front of Fa Hai, Zhou Yi did not cast a spell to influence Wang Xiaowei, and looked at Han Er sympathetically like the other torturers.

"Donor, don't worry, I will definitely keep you safe!"

Fa Hai's voice gave Han Er a little confidence, and he walked tremblingly towards the depths of the execution room.

The mission Zhou Yi received was Prison No. 12, a tiger demon who controlled ghosts and harmed people.

The tiger demon's refining of the ghost is the most common innate spell of the tiger clan, and similar incidents occur in almost every county.

Over the years, at least seven or eight tiger demons have died under Zhou Yi's sword. The ghosts who were attached to the tiger demons were all in disgrace, making it difficult for them to enter reincarnation.

Zhou Yi specially studied the existence state of the demon ghost. Humans are not human, ghosts are not ghosts, and they live and die together with the tiger demon.

I once thought about finding a way to peel off the demons, but they were all poor people who died in the tiger's mouth. If they could be sent to reincarnation, it would be a meritorious deed.

As a result, the research found that the state of the ghost is more like a "vessel" than a ghost.

The tiger demon's innate spells can refine the soul into magic weapons, similar to the soul flags and blood gods of the devil. They have become part of the tiger demon and have lost their independent existence.

This result gave Zhou Yi a very bad impression of the tiger clan demons.

Killing someone with no more than a nod, and dying without being reincarnated as a ghost is really a bit much.

Three thousand six hundred dollars passed.

This tiger monster had just lost its vitality, but the magic power sealed its throat, and it couldn't even cry out in pain.

Zhou Yi's self-created "Demon Sword Technique" can kill you with as many swords as you want, but it will never be one more or one less.

Daoxing plus four years.

Zhou Yi sent the tiger demon's materials to the Ministry of Things, threw the remains into the demon refining cave, and waited for Fa Hai on the only way to the Jia Prison.

The wait lasted half a day.

Fahai and Han Er walked out of the depths of the prison, with fear still on Han Er's face.

Zhou Yi put his hands together and saluted: "Master Fahai, long time no see."

"Amitabha! Donor Zhou is here well."

A smile appeared on Fahai's cold face: "The almsgiver taught me how to kill living beings to protect living beings, and to kill karma and kill people. Over the years, the poor monk has become more and more profound about it. Every time I recite it, I gain new insights."

"Master has profound wisdom, and replacing him with someone else is just a joke."

Zhou Yi said: "I have been a little confused recently and want to ask the master for advice."

Han Er was very discerning and resigned.

"Master, Lao Zhou, I'm going to eat first. This demonic witch is scared to death. I need to take a strong supplement."

…

Zhou Yi found a secluded place.

The punishment room prison is vast, and even after nine years of stay, it has not been explored to the edge.

"Almsgiver Zhou, if you have any questions, just ask me. The poor monk will answer them all."

The most important thing in Buddhism is cause and effect. The Book of Changes helped Fa Hai break his inner demons. After that, the Buddha's verse about killing and protecting living beings became Fa Hai's way.

Fahai's kindness in pointing out the great road cannot be overstated.

"Since the torture room started a year ago, the number of demons and monsters has at least doubled, and some of the demons that have been captured..."

Zhou Yi carefully considered his words and said: "Before they died, they all cried out for injustice. They said they were tempted by the Demon Slayer Division and fell into a trap. Master, do you know what happened?"

Fahai did not answer directly, but asked: "Does the donor feel they were wronged that week?"

"No injustice!"

Zhou Yi affirmed.

For example, the wolf monster that was caught while fishing was secretly cannibalizing itself. There were also some monsters who fell into the trap of the Demon Slayer Division when they first tried to eat people. However, according to the laws of Daqian, they were all judged to be reasonable.

Daqian is a human dynasty, and the laws are of course biased towards the human race. The starting point of the legislation is that it is not guilty for humans to kill demons, and it is illegal for demons to eat humans.

The demons in the Demon Slayer Prison are not just caught and thrown in. They are also tried by the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, and are imprisoned in light cases, while the severe ones are thrown into the Demon Refining Cave.

Zhou Yi did not have a heart attack to pity the demon, but instinctively felt that the outside world had changed.

"It's so good! The donor can tell the Buddhist principle of killing to protect lives. He is really a sensible person."

Fahai smiled, with a golden Buddha light shining on his body: "A year ago, the capital city conducted a strict investigation and found hundreds of hidden demons. This is the case in the important places of the capital city, let alone the local counties."

"Your Majesty, who has not been involved in government affairs for fifteen years, went to court to denounce the commander of the Demon Slaying Division for being idle and issued sixteen orders to exterminate demons."

"Your Majesty has set performance evaluations for the Demon Slaying Divisions of the sixteen prefectures, and ordered the Internal Affairs Department to monitor the local areas. Those who fail to meet the standards of demon slaying and demon extermination will be severely punished."

Zhou Yi was puzzled and said, "I heard that most of the immortal masters of the Demon Slaying Division are not from the court, right?"

After nine years in the prison, Zhou Yi had a thorough understanding of the origin of the Demon Slaying Division, whether from the occasional chats he heard or the results of soul searching of demons and ghosts.

The Demon Slaying Division was established during the reign of Emperor Guangming. At that time, demons were everywhere in Dagan, and more than half of the sixteen prefectures fell into the hands of the rebels.

Emperor Guangming revised the laws of Dagan, made the administration of officials more fair and just, and jointly established the Demon Slaying Division with Buddhism and Taoism. It is said that hundreds of thousands of demons were thrown into the demon refining cave in the first year.

The world was at peace.

The Demon Slaying Division rose to become the leader of the four immortal divisions.

Hundreds of years later, the Demon Slaying Division has become a behemoth, and the commander is a senior official of the court comparable to the three officials.

The only thing that has not changed much is that the main source of the power of the Demon Slaying Division is still the Buddhist and Taoist sects, which send disciples to join the Demon Slaying Division every year to slay demons and eliminate demons.

One is to experience the secular world and train the mind and magic.

The second is to show their attitude and willingness to work for Dagan.

The court has always wanted to change the status quo of the Demon Slaying Division, so they have successively trained demon-eliminating lieutenants and demon-slaying lieutenants, but unfortunately their strength is far inferior to that of Buddhist and Taoist monks, and they can only kill small demons and demons, becoming assistants of Buddhism and Taoism.

Monks other than Buddhism and Taoism would rather join the noble Immortal Salary Division than fight hard in the Demon Slaying Division.

In this case, how could Emperor Jingtai drive the Buddhist monks to complete their "performance" without hesitation?

Killing demons and monsters is never an easy task. Demons and monsters will not be killed, and the death rate of the Demon Killing Division is definitely not low.

A crystal clear gem appeared in Fahai's hand, with an irregular oval shape, which drove away the dark evil spirit as soon as it appeared.

The prison room, which was gloomy and cold all year round, actually rose a little warm.

"Your Majesty opened the Qiankun Daozang in order to purify the world. There are rewards for completing the performance assessment and heavy rewards for exceeding the performance."

"I have captured the saint of the naked sect. This Arhat relic is given by your majesty!"
