"Find you a job to protect yourself!"
Regarding Chen Yun's question, Old Man Zuo said straightforwardly.
“Nothing can be achieved overnight, even the Seven Kills Sword Technique, which is famous for being easy to learn and quick to learn, cannot give you the ability to fight monsters right away.
And I can't always be by your side.
If you are negligent for a moment and allow the monsters waiting in the dark to find an opportunity, your life will be lost.
Therefore, when your sword skills are not yet perfected and you are still unable to fight against monsters, I will find you an identity with royal aura.
Although the imperial court is not as prosperous as it was hundreds of years ago, the imperial dragon's aura is still quite a deterrent to monsters. Anyone who is close to the Yamen will be stained with a little dragon aura.
Ordinary monsters, those who have practiced Taoism for three to five hundred years, will basically not touch anyone who has anything to do with the Yamen.
Only when they are forced to do so, they will ignore the backlash of dragon energy, or when the person they are targeting is not a high-ranking official, they will take action. "
Old man Zuo's words made Chen Yun a little confused: "Old man, what do you mean?
Is it possible that you can still let me be an official? "
Old Man Zuo looked at him in surprise: "If I really have the ability to let you be an official, why would I go to the wilderness and almost die from a giant python and a tiger?
However, if you can't get along as an official, it should be no problem to help you become a police officer.
Although the police officer does not have an official status, he still handles cases for the yamen, so he can still get some of the royal aura from the yamen.
As long as you have some, the little demons who are usually two to three hundred years old will basically not dare to touch you. "
This made Chen Yun suddenly become curious: "Old man, do you have connections in the county government?"
But Old Man Zuo shook his head and said: "If I had this connection, I would not let Wang San spread the news today that you encountered a monster and needed evil energy to practice the Seven Killing Sword."
Chen Yun was confused at this moment. He said nothing and waited for the old man's next words.
Old Man Zuo didn't show off, and said directly: "I can't say what the imperial court is like, but as far as Guobei County is concerned, it is full of evildoers.
Six months ago, the third son of the richest family in Huanghuai Town met a woman in the wild during a spring outing. He fell in love with her and couldn't leave her. He avoided his family many times to have trysts with the woman. The last time he went there, he never came back.
When others found him, he was already dead, with only a layer of skin covering his skeleton, and he was already dead.
Some people say that the third son of the richest man encountered a fox!
But whether it is or not, it is not an ordinary murder case after all.
There is nothing the county government's arresters can do about this. Their martial arts can only attack people, but cannot kill monsters!
Although the demons are unwilling to contact them or touch them, it does not mean that they can deal with the demons.
Four months ago, in Daliu Village in the next town, a scholar whose family owned about 10 acres of thin farmland suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.
The detective who investigated the case avoided talking about the matter after returning, but there were rumors in the countryside that the scholar might have been eaten by a large snail. "
Chen Yun was confused, a dark version of the snail girl?
That’s not right!
"Old man, didn't you say before that ordinary monsters won't approach a scholar who is a scholar?"
Chen Yun clearly remembers that this is Liaozhai World, this is Guobei County, and there is Lanruo Temple outside the city. The group of female ghosts in Lanruo Temple like to eat the heart of scholars the most.
If monsters and ghosts can't get close to the scholar, then how do they attack the scholar?
Old Man Zuo had long expected that he would ask such a question: "Although scholars with a literate temperament are troublesome, they are more delicious to demons and ghosts.
If you want to get rid of the literary spirit in these scholars, you only need to make them fall into chaos and degenerate.
For example, if a monk who keeps the precepts breaks the precepts, it is not impossible for demons and ghosts to eat them.
But we also need to look at the scholar’s reputation and the monk’s achievements.
Therefore, the targets of these monsters are poor scholars in the countryside. Their highest fame is just a scholar. Most of the monks who cause harm are just novices. There are very few who are truly great, unless they are thousand-year-old monsters. "
After explaining, Old Man Zuo continued: "Two months ago, a family of eleven hunters in Daci Township were all eaten internally by wild beasts and died.
The Yamen went to catch the police, but in the end they did not dare to continue the investigation.
It's not that the county police officers don't dare to investigate these cases, it's that they can't deal with the monsters even if they do.
Therefore, if the news spreads about the butcher Wang San in our town that you want to practice the Seven Killing Sword and draw evil energy into the body to deal with monsters, the Yamen will definitely send someone over to give you a spot in advance. "
Chen Yun thought for a while: "That's not right, old man!
If the Seven Kills Sword Technique can deal with monsters and ghosts, then there should be a lot of people who have retired from the border army in recent years!
As long as these veterans can be hired as police officers in the Yamen, there will be no shortage of people to deal with monsters.
So it’s impossible for people to look down on me as a newbie! "
Old Man Zuo patiently explained to him: "Generally, those who go to learn the Qishaidao in the military are ordinary people.
Either he died in the army, or he cut off 5 or 10 heads and retired.
But there are so many veterans who have successfully retired with military exploits, and they have basically exhausted their physical potential.
In this case, once they retire, they are not even willing to touch the Seven Killing Sword again, because touching it once will lose a bit of life.
Therefore, these retired veterans are not willing to use Qishaodao as a means to earn a living in the yamen, unless it is related to their own life and death.
Even if he wanted to go to the government office to earn a living, he would not come to a poor county like Guobei County.
There are very few people like you who are not in the military but take the initiative to practice the Seven Kills Sword.
The Seven Killing Sword is easy to learn and quick to learn, and its reputation is that it can kill demons and ghosts. Therefore, as long as you practice this sword technique, it will basically have a certain deterrent effect on demons and ghosts. The evil energy on your body alone is enough to suppress some small demons and ghosts.
If this county magistrate is not stupid, he will definitely call you there and show you kindness before you finish your studies. "
Chen Yun thought for a while, whether he was reading Liaozhai or watching TV series, the county magistrate of Guobei Line has never been very wise, would he have thought of this?
Unexpectedly, Old Man Zuo continued: "More importantly, I heard that our current county magistrate is quite afraid of death.
The news I heard is that these strange cases one after another have frightened him so much that even if it is to win over someone who can slay demons in the future, he will come in advance to give you the identity of a police officer! "
These items were listed in detail one by one. Such a methodical analysis made Chen Yun look at Old Man Zuo in surprise.
"Old man, when you were in the army, you were not just a soldier, right?
This is not like the analytical ability that a soldier in the army should have! "
This sentence almost made the old man fall into memories, but he did not answer the question. Instead, he looked back and gave Chen Yun a shudder.
"What are you talking about? Go back and teach you how to draw the evil spirit into your body..."
Two figures, one old and one young, slowly disappeared into the wilderness.
