Chapter 6 The Punisher's Theory

After Fahai left, Zhou Yi threw the yellow bull demon into the demon refining cave.

Hundreds of monsters are filled in every day, and it has been going on for an unknown number of years, but the monster refining cave is still bottomless.

When Zhou Yi returned to his residence, he could not calm down.

The incident of the scalper demon gave birth to inner demons in Fahai. How could Zhou Yi avoid it? He just stood aside and watched, and his mood would not be affected by this incident.

"Anyway, I am idle, so why not record this matter."

"Mr. Liaozhai opened a teahouse to collect materials. Tea drinkers could use stories instead of tea money, thus collecting a large number of bizarre stories."

"I don't even need to collect them. I come into contact with monsters and ghosts every day. I can select the ones with warning significance and compile them into a book after a little editing and processing."

Zhou Yi thought for a moment and felt that this was feasible.

Writing books is not only for recording, but also for regulating your mood.

Living in the dark underground, eating, sleeping and slaying demons every day, psychological diseases will appear over time.

There was no pen and paper in the execution room, so Zhou Yi told Shi Xiaowei his thoughts the next morning.

"Writing a book and talking about it?"

Shi Xiaowei looked at Zhou Yi in disbelief. His family was considered a scholarly family, and even his father, who had won the Jinshi, did not dare to talk about books.

There are only a few people who can write books and talk about it, and none of them is a great sage who is famous all over the world.

"It doesn't count as writing a book, it just records the stories of demons and monsters in vernacular."

Zhou Yi explained: "For example, some demon tragedies can be avoided if they are prevented in advance. I told Master Fahai yesterday that he also supports this matter."

“Can I still write a book in vernacular?”

Captain Shi heard that Fa Hai also supported, nodded and said: "I will bring you some paper and pen tomorrow."

"Thank you, Captain."

"You're welcome, just do your best."

Zhou Yi is now the chief executioner of the torture chamber. A few pieces of paper and pen are nothing. A piece of demonic material can be worth a year's worth of writing.

Zhou Yi had already thought of the name of the book, and it was called "The Punisher's Theory".

I wrote at the beginning: I am a torturer whose name is not important. I record the stories of my personal experience. If someone can get a warning from it and avoid disasters, this book will not be written in vain...

Pure vernacular, just like ordinary people chatting.

Zhou Yi didn't understand Da Qian's classical Chinese, and even if it was similar to his previous life, he couldn't learn it.

The first story is not the Bull Demon from yesterday, but "The Ghostly Scholar".

"...The scholar was caught by the immortal master, struck by five thunders, and his soul was shattered..."

The second chapter is "House Monster".

"...The rooster demon pecked the farmer's family to death, and while escaping into the mountains, he fell into the trap of the immortal master..."

The third chapter is "The Cow and the Monk".

These three stories basically restore the real events, with slight modifications during the period. For example, the Demon Slayer Division cannot appear in the book.

The place names and backgrounds in the book are also downplayed and blurred, and the imperial court is also a dynasty that never existed.

The most basic taboo, Zhou Yi still knew that as a junior official in the Demon Slaying Department, he must not take advantage of this to expose the darkness of the imperial court, otherwise he would definitely be banned.

Banned books can only be circulated in a small circle, and Zhou Yi's original intention of writing the book cannot be realized.

Shi Xiaowei read three stories and commented: "You can go to the teahouse to tell stories from now on."

No more comments.

In Shi Xiaowei's eyes, Zhou Yi wrote ten pages full of them, and he could only enjoy them.

Zhou Yi didn't care about this. Shi Xiaowei was born into a wealthy family. He didn't understand the hardships at the bottom, so he only needed to provide paper and pen.

"The Story of the Punisher" did not catch the eyes of Captain Shi, but it was extremely popular in the execution room.

Many people have read the story written by Zhou Yi and told it to others, and then it was passed on from ten to ten and hundreds to thousands. Basically all the torturers have heard about it.

The boring underground prison was a little more lively than before.

The torturers came from all over Daqian and had various backgrounds, but they all died the same in the end.

Among them, some people who were interested in "The Story of the Punisher" specially sought out Zhouyi to tell the bizarre stories of their own experiences.

"The torturer, Li Dazhuang, encountered a group of traveling merchants on the mountain road in Taizhou and stayed at the mountain temple on a rainy night..."

"When Sun Sanpao, the torturer, was a child, he was swimming in the river in the summer. A foreign object got into his ear. He heard the roar of people day and night. Master Qingsong Guanxian..."

"A passer-by who wants to remain anonymous, was hit by a flood and left his hometown. He dreamed about his parents for seven days in a row..."

The Book of Changes welcomes all comers, as long as they have valuable stories, whether they are true or false, personal experience or hearsay, they will be modified and recorded in the book.

Among the torturers, there were many demoted officials who were well-informed. In the process of communicating with them, Zhou Yi also had a vague impression of Da Qian.

Dagan has a vast territory and was once one of the countries located in the middle of Yunzhou.

Fifteen hundred years ago, Taizu of Daqian took part in creation, conquered the north and south, unified Yunzhou, and became the only dynasty in Yunzhou.

It is now the year 1563 of the Daqian calendar, the thirty-ninth year of Jingtai.

Emperor Jingtai has been in power for nearly forty years. It is said that he has grown old in recent years and the prince often oversees the country.

While Zhou Yi was writing the book, he killed monsters every day and received various rewards.

Kill the man-eating bear demon and obtain the earth spirit elixir.

Kill the vicious scorpion spirit and get the talent: Invulnerable to all poisons.

Kill the python spirit that is causing harm to the village and obtain the magical weapon: the water-avoiding bead.

Kill the hedgehog spirit who stole the incense and obtain the replenishing pill...

The rewards in the Demon Illustrated Book are completely irregular, with talents, spells, magic weapons, and elixirs all available in a dazzling array.

The only pity is that he never encountered the Jiazi Prison demon again. Most of the reward items were of lower grade, but Zhou Yi was not impatient at all. There is no better place in the world than the Demon Slayer Division.

He secretly took pills to refine his qi and secretly practiced magic. In a blink of an eye, another half a year passed.

Zhou Yi has become an old man in the torture room. He has sent away three or four waves of colleagues, and the captain on duty has changed again.

There are not no long-lived prisoners in the torture room. The longest record is five years before death. Zhou Yi did not attract any attention.

Because Captain Shi often reads the books written by Zhou Yi, he will discuss different opinions when he encounters them, and he will not deliberately conceal some ordinary things. The captain who kills demons takes turns every six months, which is a training task before really killing demons and eliminating demons.

The new captain's surname is Zhu. He did not treat his surname badly. He is fat and has a kind personality.

Captain Shi has already told Captain Zhu that Zhou Yi wrote "On the Punisher" and asked him to bring some paper and pen every few days.

Captain Zhu followed the rules and agreed with a smile.

On this day, Zhou Yi received an assignment and found that it was another fish monster.

There are tens of thousands of monsters in the world, and monsters of the same kind are not common.

The killing was clean and neat, and the torture instruments flew in Zhou Yi's hands, and the fish scales and skin were cut off without any damage.

The demon illustrations slowly opened, and after turning over countless pages, it turned out to be the fish monster group that had been lit up.

The fish monster pattern flickered, a little brighter than before.

Fragments of memory flashed before his eyes...

The fish monster that overturned the cruise ship...

Gained 2 years of Taoism.

"Taoism?"

Zhou Yi secretly tasted it and found that the mana in his body had more than doubled out of thin air.

He had practiced Huangting Daojing for half a year, but it was less than half of the newly added mana.

"Two years of Taoism, just practicing Huangting Daojing for two years out of thin air?"
