MTL - Begin Immortality By Slaying Demons-Chapter 4 Basic Martial Arts Dzogchen

Chapter 4 Basic Martial Arts Dzogchen

Two old donkeys, one behind the other, quickly left the county town.

Chen Ji lowered his head with a cautious expression.

He did not expect that Shen Yi actually agreed to leave the city, and uncharacteristically took him with him.

 This should be a good thing, but...

Chen Ji looked back and saw Master Shen riding on a donkey, flipping through martial arts manuscripts with one hand and reading with gusto.

 According to previous practice, before dealing with a demon, the other party would send him and others to buy some good wine and meat, which he called "courtesy".

 Chen Ji has always been depressed and dissatisfied with this approach.

But today he went empty-handed, and he became a little worried. If he couldn't get rid of the two monsters, hundreds of farmers in Liuli Temple Village would be eaten up in a short time.

　　"Why are you always looking back? Focus on leading the way. Don't be jealous of my handsome face."

 Shen Yi roughly flipped through the manuscript and slowly closed it.

 There are two more lines of text in the panel.

 【Paiyun Changquan (not yet started)】

  【Eight Steps of the Spiritual Snake (Not Beginner)】

 A set of fists and palms, a set of light skills, plus the previous demon-subduing sword technique.

This is all the martial arts passed down by the captain of the Demon-Suppressing Division.

If you can practice all three moves to a small level, you will have the ability to deal with some little monsters.

  Shen Yi didn't do any ink, and invested little by little of his remaining demon longevity into the lightness skill that he lacked most now.

 After all, no matter how sharp the sword is, it must be able to catch up with the person.

　　【You already have a solid foundation in martial arts and are strong. It only took one year to learn the Eight Steps of the Spiritual Snake】

　　【In three years, your figure has become more and more elusive, and you have achieved a small amount of success】

【Six years have passed, the eight steps of the spiritual snake have become part of your instinct, which can be called the state of great achievement】

 【In the eleventh year, the body is like a ghost, the moves are invisible, the lightness skill is perfect】

 【Remaining demon lifespan: twenty-five years】

 …

Shen Yi felt the changes in her body and was a little surprised.

 Infusing Shou Yuan into martial arts, the specific progress will actually refer to one's current physical condition.

The so-called analogy, an old martial artist who is addicted to sword skills will naturally practice martial arts much faster.

 He subconsciously adjusted the posture of riding the donkey, and suddenly felt that his body was much lighter, as if he could travel three to five feet in one step.

 It’s a pity that I don’t have a chance to try it now.

Shen Yi gathered her mind and poured the remaining demon longevity into Paiyun Changquan. While practicing martial arts, she hoped to gain another harvest about the "first realm".

 However, the result this time made him a little disappointed.

【Although you are not good at fists and kicks, after eighteen years of hard work, you can still punch like thunder, crack rocks with your palms, and reach perfection with the Cloud-Pailing Long Fist】

 【In the twentieth year, you have made no progress, are confused, and feel like you are wasting your time】

 【In the twenty-third year, you begin to doubt yourself. After this boxing technique is perfected, it seems to be the end】

　　　【In the twenty-fifth year, after years of thinking, your attainments in fist and palm skills have improved, and your fist and palm talents have increased】

 All the demon's lifespan has been exhausted, and all the gains in exchange are displayed on the panel.

 【Paiyun Changquan (Perfect)】

 【Eight Steps of the Spiritual Snake (Perfection)】

 【Mastery of Fist and Palm: It can shorten the training time of fist and palm martial arts and increase the chance of gaining enlightenment】

In addition to the two perfect martial arts skills, he also received something similar to a talent, but there was no news about the "first realm" that Shen Yi wanted.

He raised his eyes slightly: "Counting the time, is it time for the Demon Suppression Division to come to our county for inspection?"

Hearing this, Chen Ji, who was concentrating on leading the way, suddenly trembled slightly, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he did not look back: "Reporting to your lord, there is almost a month left."

 What he didn't understand was that Lord Shen was trying to wake him up.

The entire Baiyun County government office is colluding. The most important thing at the moment is to survive the inspection by the Demon Suppression Department and hand in a piece of paper that proves the county is safe and peaceful.

If something goes wrong, at least most of this group of people will hang their heads at the market entrance, and the youngest and handsome one among them must belong to Mr. Shen. No wonder the other party was out of character today. It turned out that he was waiting for me here.

If there is one person in the yamen who expects the arrival of the captain of the Demon Suppression Division, it can only be Chen Ji. He really hopes that... the court will behead Shen Yi alive.

If it weren't for the other party's deception, the Yamen wouldn't be able to keep the news at all. The demon-suppressing army should have taken over this place long ago and wiped out all the demons around it!

 “One month?”

 Shen Yi rubbed her temples.

According to my memory, I am just a small official and not qualified to communicate with the Demon Suppressor.

If you want to get into more advanced martial arts, you can only wait patiently.

If you can completely enter the "First Realm" within a month, will you have a chance to join the Demon Suppression Division?

 The demon's longevity is still not enough!

While my thoughts were wandering, two old donkeys had stopped in front of the field ridge.

Shen Yi looked at the dilapidated small temple on the hillside. The statue was exposed and covered with straw. The altar had collapsed in half and was overgrown with weeds.

Farmers don’t even bother to worship gods, which is enough to show their resentment.

 “Sir, go this way.”

Chen Ji **** the old donkey and stretched out his hand to point out the direction.

The two of them walked quickly across the field. A group of ragged farmers stood scattered in the distance, looking over with haggard faces and distracted eyes.

After seeing the clothes of the two men clearly, they squatted back again without complaining or calling for help. They knew very well who brought the suffering.

　　　…”

 Chen Ji was stared at from afar, with a hint of shame on his slightly green face.

After seeing Shen Yi's calm expression, her shame turned into resentment.

He adjusted his bamboo hat to cover most of his face: "This is the house that was attacked by Huangpizi's descendants at night... You will know after you go in."

 Huangpizi is not a weasel.

  Monsters also have power, most of them are connected by blood, and they establish themselves as kings on the top of the mountain.

 Different forces have different requirements for Boyun County. Some want fresh meat, some want beauties, and some like precious treasures.

 There is a litter of dog demons among them, who are most closely related to Shen Yi.

 The leading demon is an old yellow-skinned dog who calls himself the Yellow-skinned King.

 “Open the door.”

 Shen Yi nodded her chin.

Chen Ji pushed open the wooden door and saw a nauseating dark red color in the narrow hut.

 The room was dark, and there were dismantled torsos on the table, neatly stacked. Those that couldn't be piled were put through straws and hung on the beams.

 A dog demon was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a thigh in his hand and chewing the rotten meat with an expressionless expression.

It has sharp eyes, like a loyal dog guarding the courtyard.

 After seeing the appearance of the person clearly, his eyes softened a little: "Who do I think you are and why are you here?"

Shen Yi walked into the house, feeling the overwhelming stench, and looked around.

 Chen Ji has seen this scene before, but the second time he stepped into this room, his face under the bamboo hat was still slightly distorted. The palm holding the handle of the knife was shaking crazily, and he involuntarily pulled out the blade three inches.

His talent is extremely high. In just three years, he has mastered the martial arts passed down by the Demon Suppressor to a minor level. He is fully qualified to fight this dog monster, and he will most likely win a brutal victory.

 The reason why I was able to resist the murderous intention before was to report back to the Yamen.

 Firstly, it was for the sake of his younger sister at home, and secondly, because he was no match for the yellow skin behind the dog demon, so he took action rashly, fearing that it would cause even greater trouble.

　　　…”

At this moment, a strong hand quietly reached out and helped him push the long knife back into the sheath.

 Chen Ji came back to his senses and stared closely at Shen Yi's side face, wanting to see how the other party would respond.

No matter how unconscionable the other party is, they should at least feel some emotion when they see their own kind being eaten.

 In sight.

Shen Yi finally looked at the old dog, with neither sadness nor joy in his eyes. The corners of his mouth were raised, revealing his neat white teeth, and he smiled.

Seeing this, Chen Ji's heartbeat gradually slowed down. He lowered his eyes in disappointment, unwilling to listen to the two people's greetings anymore.
