Immortality: I can absorb the memories of the dead.

Chapter 26 Returning to Kyoto, triggering epiphany

In the extremely cold north, there is ice and snow for thousands of miles, and no living creature is seen.

Suddenly, an angry roar rose to the sky.

"Ahhh, who is it? Who killed my disciple? When I come out of seclusion, I will tear you into pieces!"

The roar turned into a sword energy that shot up into the sky, causing the flowing clouds to disperse and the wind to rage wildly.

At once, several figures emerged from various ice caves, looking in that direction with horror on their faces.

"What a terrifying aura! In just thirty years, his strength has grown so fast?"

"It seems that he may really have a chance to break through that realm!"

"Who is so blind as to kill his apprentice?"

"His disciple is also a master at the peak of his powers, a half-step Martial Saint. The one who can kill him should also be a Martial Saint."

"No matter if he is a martial saint or something else, if you offend him, you will probably die."

In Kyoto, at dusk, Zhou Yi rode a donkey into the city. The sky was still covered with heavy snow, just like the days when he left. The little donkey obviously had not recovered from the shock of just taking off into the air, and it was trembling as it walked.

The long-lost yet familiar voice rang in my ears again.

"Tanghulu~"

"Pea Yellow"

“Fried tofu.”

“Eat fried liver, eat fried liver, delicious fried liver”

Zhou Yi sniffed the air and couldn't help but sigh:
"It's still the familiar taste, it's still the familiar recipe."

It smells good but tastes terrible. In a nutshell, there is no delicious food in Kyoto.

This is probably the characteristic of Kyoto's rice circle.

"I've been away for more than two years. I wonder how my old friends in the prison are doing?"

His stable job as a coroner must be gone.

As he was speaking, he suddenly heard someone calling him on the street.

"Zhou Yi, aren't you Zhou Yi?"

Zhou Yi looked back and saw that it was Lao Chen, the jailer of the Heavenly Prison.

"Old Chen, long time no see."

Old Chen came forward with great joy.

"It's really you! Good boy, where have you been for the past two years? How come you suddenly seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth?"

Zhou Yi had already thought of an excuse for this.

"I met a master who wanted to teach me martial arts, so I followed him around for two years and learned some skills."

"Hiss~ Such an adventure!"

Old Chen took a deep breath, a look of envy flashing in his eyes.

When it comes down to it, this world is ultimately ruled by warriors. Although jailers and coroners have their own positions, they are ultimately just low-level errand runners. They are better off than beggars on the street or laborers at the docks, but only better off. How can they compare to the popularity of warriors?
After learning martial arts, you can take the examination!
"Let's not talk about this. Is everyone okay?"

"Isn't it the same as before? Two years ago, when the Northern Mang army was at the gates of the city, many of our brothers were transferred to the front lines. Some died, some were disabled, and the rest continued to serve as jailers in the prison.

Come on, come on, you come back just in time. The head of the prison has been promoted to warden, and a big banquet is being held at the Xinghua Tower. All the brothers are here, so it's a good opportunity to welcome you back."

"This is not good. I haven't been in the prison for such a long time."

"Well, go ahead, the brothers have been thinking about you all the time."

Unable to resist Lao Chen's enthusiasm, Zhou Yi was dragged to Xinghua Tower.

When the old friends in the Tianlao saw Zhou Yi, they were overjoyed. After learning that Zhou Yi had met a master and went out to learn martial arts, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Good boy, I knew you would have a bright future."

"Brother Zhou, when you pass the imperial examination and become rich and powerful, please don't forget me!"

"Definitely." While dealing with everyone, Zhou Yi noticed that everyone had some changes. Many people had a few more white strands in their hair.

Obviously, after experiencing a crisis that almost saw the country destroyed, everyone has had a hard time in the past two years.

Not long after, the jailer, dressed in the uniform of a prison warden, arrived. When he saw Zhou Yi, he was also very surprised.

"I didn't expect you were still alive. At first I thought you were murdered, so I asked the brothers in the government office to look for you, but there was no trace of you."

"Thank you for your concern, Boss Ma."

"I heard you also learned martial arts?"

"I learned some self-defense skills."

"How about I take a look?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Zhou, show us the Kung Fu you learned."

Zhou Yi didn't want to spoil everyone's fun. He picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table and pinched them with two fingers, breaking the sturdy chopsticks directly.

"Hi~!"

This move made many people gasp, and some newcomers who were originally a little unconvinced couldn't help but become awed after seeing it.

The jailer nodded.

"Not bad, your strength has already reached the acquired realm! It is rare for someone to reach the acquired realm at such a young age. It just so happens that there is no suitable candidate for the head of the prison in the sky prison. Your position as the coroner has already been replaced by someone else. You can take over my position as the head of the prison."

Everyone looked at him with envy. He became the prison boss as soon as he came back and became their immediate superior.

Zhou Yi bowed and thanked him.

"Thank you, Boss Ma."

He didn't care whether he was a prison boss or not. To him, there was no difference between being a prison boss and being a jailer or a coroner.

But it was the other party's good intention after all, and besides, he could live in peace again.

It's very smooth.

Ma Guocheng then invited everyone to sit down and eat and drink. During the meal, Zhou Yi talked with Lao Chen and others, and only then did he know that the reason why Ma Guocheng was promoted was entirely because he followed the previous warden to the battlefield and fought with the current emperor, and had become the new emperor's confidant.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, he had no one to rely on, and almost everyone in the court was the empress dowager's people.

In order to increase his own power, he promoted people everywhere. The warden was assigned to the Ministry of Justice and became the Minister of Justice. Ma Guocheng became the new warden. Even the former prison warden, Tian Wenjing, was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue and became the Vice Minister.

This should also be Ma Guocheng's intention in promoting himself.

Zhou Yi had learned a lot of history in his previous life, and he knew that getting involved in the imperial struggle for power would not end well, but with power at stake, who could resist the temptation?
Power, wealth and honor, these four words have trapped countless people.

Decades later, it will be nothing but a cup of yellow earth.

He alone remains standing.
As Zhou Yi drank the cups, he not only did not get drunk, but became more sober and his mind became clearer the more he drank.

All of a sudden, his soul strength rose to a new level and became much stronger, comparable to the soul power he could accumulate after a year of practice.

"This is."

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

When we first obtained Lu Qingshan's memory, this situation was mentioned in it.

This is called enlightenment.

It cannot be captured and cannot be cultivated.

It just appears suddenly at a very special moment, and while improving your state of mind, it will make your will and spirit more solid, and then strengthen your soul.

The more talented and experienced a person is, the more likely he is to have an epiphany.

A sudden enlightenment can be worth a long period of hard practice.

"Wonderful!"

After Zhou Yi drank a glass of wine, he seemed more free and easy.
