The city where Shen Yu is located is called Jialu City.
This city is vaguely close to the Great Wall at the northern border. It is a small city in Zhangtai County, one of the eighteen counties in the North of Central Continent.
The three masters and disciples from the Xianxia Sect are all living in the city these days. After all, monks in Zhongzhou are not allowed to fight at will, so it has nothing to do with them, but being noticed by the Tang Dynasty officials will always cause a lot of trouble.
Different from other continents, the immortal cultivating sects here, regardless of their size, always have one-third fear and respect for the imperial court, and the remaining seven-tenths are in the academy.
After all, the academy’s principles are quite big, and its fists are not small either.
After all, they are people in the same trouble. In the past few days, the young girl Xu Ling'er and the young boy Yan Sheng would hang out behind Shen Yu from time to time. They didn't have much to say. At most, they just wanted to see the so-called immortal style.
Shen Yu didn't feel anything about this, so he just walked around on the street.
As he said, he now has too few trump cards, and the trip to the Demon Realm is not safe. As for matters such as Lingbao trump cards, he naturally has to go to the auction house.
According to the news on the street in the past few days, it is said that the most famous Sihai Auction House in Central Continent will conduct an auction on the most famous rooftop in Saw Deer City.
In the tea shop in the city.
Xu Ling'er asked curiously: "Shen Yu, what treasure are you going to buy at the auction?"
Shen Yu said: "Just take a look."
Yan Sheng looked at Shen Yu's otherworldly appearance and said with some uncertainty: "Senior, do you have a spirit shell that is common in the spiritual world?"
Shen Yu's tea-drinking hand froze slightly, turned his head and asked, "What?"
Yan Sheng sighed and thought that it was indeed the case. Although the senior in front of him had first-class knowledge in Taoism and practice, ordinary things in the world were indeed unreasonable...
Xu Ling'er acted like an old Jianghu and explained seriously: "It is the currency commonly used in the cultivation world of Central Continent, and it is specially launched by the academy. If you take ordinary silver notes from the world to the Sihai Auction House, you will definitely be laughed at. "
Shen Yu nodded thoughtfully and asked, "How to exchange it?"
Xu Ling'er stretched out a finger and said: "One thousand taels of silver, exchange for one Lingbei."
Shen Yuzai asked: "Who do you want to change with?"
Xu Ling'er said with a puzzled face: "Of course it's the pawnshops all over the city in the academy."
"Is this okay?" Shen Yu was stunned.
"It is said that this was personally promoted by the rumored dean of the academy. Thanks to the dean, the currency of the five continents has become much more convenient in recent times. Otherwise, if the cultivation world has been using various spiritual jade, silver The amount of tickets is too large, the types are various, and circulation is very inconvenient." Yan Sheng explained seriously.
Shen Yu thought about it carefully, then showed a smile and said with emotion: "Students are ruthless, and they are not shy about making money. The dean of the academy is not like the old master before."
The previous nature refers to three thousand years ago.
Xu Ling'er was obviously very concerned about the affairs in the world, and said quickly: "Yes, yes, there are rumors in the world that the current dean of the academy is actually not very old! He looks like a young man."
Shen Yu nodded slightly, took out a thick stack of silver notes from the space ring, and said, "Help me change it."
Xu Ling'er glanced sideways at Shen Yu and crossed her arms across her chest.
Shen Yu said: "Twenty-eight points."
With a whoosh, Xu Ling'er took the banknote and disappeared.
The young man was obviously not surprised by his senior sister's greedy behavior. After all, he inherited it from his master, so he had no choice but to shake his head.
Shen Yu slowly took a sip of tea and said calmly: "There is someone not far away, coming to stare at you?"
The young man's eyes narrowed and his smile disappeared instantly. Just as he was about to stand up, Shen Yu interrupted him and asked, "What's going on?"
The young man looked hesitant.
Shen Yu slowly put down the teacup and said calmly: "I'll help you along the way, but you won't be so lucky next time. You go home first."
After the words fell, Shen Yu's body disappeared out of thin air.
There were three dark auras at the city gate that noticed something was wrong and flew out of the city in an instant. But just as they walked out of the city gate, they were stopped by a young man wearing luxurious clothes. He smiled slightly and said: "It seems something is not right with you three. "
"Get away!" The man in the middle roared, and was about to slap him away.
The young man sighed and shook his head slightly.
...
Shen Yu came to the path outside the city gate and saw three dead bodies lying on the ground.
The young man standing on the ground seemed to be aloof from the incident and said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, these should be famous killers in Central Continent."
Shen Yu glanced at him and asked, "Who?"
The young man smiled and said: "The Great Tang Dynasty Demon Hunter Si Ye Xingchen."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
After the meeting in the Imperial Garden, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty actually gave him an ultimatum.
What was written on it was the three characters "Xunyao Division".
Although Shen Yu didn't know what the Xunyao Division did specifically, he could understand it as the name suggests.
Shen Yu asked: "Is something wrong?"
Ye Xingchen sighed, shook his head and said, "It took a lot of effort to come here to see you. Let's not just stand here chatting all the time. At least we should pay attention to the way of hospitality."
Shen Yu turned around and walked back to the city, saying calmly: "It's up to you."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he looks like a difficult person to get along with." Ye Xingchen smacked his mouth and followed behind with a look of disgust on his face.
The two came to the lobby of Baichuan Inn, the largest in the city.
"Hey, the food here is good, it suits my taste."
"This steamed bear paw is perfect, fat but not greasy, tender but not fishy, the best, the best!"
"Wait a minute, this chicken leg... is white! So white! So fierce!"
Ye Xingchen's conversation suddenly changed while he was eating. Shen Yu then raised his head and found that Ye Xingchen's eyes were following the innkeeper's wife's chest.
Shen Yu lightly knocked on the table.
Ye Xingchen then turned around and said with a smile: "Haha, I'm sorry, I've been living a hard life for too long. I haven't seen a woman for a long time. I spend all my time facing those big men of the Monster Hunting Division and taking time out to get sick. .”
Shen Yu asked: "What's the matter?"
Ye Xingchen saw Shen Yu's eyes, put down his chopsticks angrily, and said, "You know the Monster Hunting Division, right?"
Shen Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Look, look, I know you don't know! I'm here specifically to explain it to you!"
Ye Xingchen slammed the table, seeming very happy.
Shen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes unkind.
Ye Xingchen coughed twice and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. His Majesty gave you a sign a few days ago, with the three characters "Xunyao Division" engraved on it. You should know that, right? To put it simply, "Xunyao Division" is the guardian The secret organizations of Central Continent and the Tang Dynasty will of course do some secret work when necessary. The Demon Hunting Department has existed since the founding of the Tang Dynasty. All evil spirits in Central Continent are left to us to deal with, and our status is extremely powerful. , any official below the third rank, as long as he is suspected of evil things, we can kill him first and then report him."
Shen Yu nodded and said casually: "It's pretty awesome."
"The reason why I am telling you this is to let you understand the status and responsibilities of the Demon Hunting Division."
Ye Xingchen said seriously: "Fifty years ago, there were many sects in Central Continent, and there were many practicing sects that did not obey the regulations. But in the end, those who took the opportunity to cause trouble were all dead, and they were killed by the people from the Monster Hunting Division."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.
I have heard about this in the academy before. The practitioners of Central Continent were originally rebellious people. There were not many people who disobeyed the discipline of the Tang Dynasty and even the academy, but they were not few. Then the problem came. Although the sages and gentlemen of the academy Although his cultivation is strong, what he is best at after all is convincing people with reason, and those casual cultivators in the mountains who have always been accustomed to lawlessness and occupying the territory are all well-rounded old fritters, and they have always been in front of each other.
So after the last warning failed, Datang took action.
A total of seventy-two first-class cultivation sects that were contaminated with human lives were wiped out overnight, and even all the sects' classics were destroyed.
No one knows who those people are, but everyone knows who did it.
That time Datang's actions shocked the entire spiritual wilderness. It was also after that thunderous attack that the spiritual world knew that there were not only academies in the imperial capital, but also Datang. So some people originally thought that Datang was just a academy supporting The puppet guy was even more frightened and is still hiding in the deserted mountains.
"It turns out it was the Monster Hunting Department who did it." Shen Yu became a little more interested.
