Immortality: I can absorb the memories of the dead.

Chapter 40: The executioner, ripped open the belly, peeled off the skin and pulled out the bones
"You wouldn't even do that, you idiot!"

It was late at night and I was walking alone on the street. It was obvious that I was not someone to be trifled with.

Zhou Yi shook his head and returned home.

After a moment, a chicken with shiny golden eyes and blue eyes flew in and transformed into a human-shaped young man with a hooked nose and deep eyes. He looked a bit like the Pleiades star official in the previous life's Journey to the West.

"Owner."

When it came in front of Zhou Yi, the chicken with golden eyes and blue eyes immediately knelt on the ground, its eyes full of piety, as if it were respecting him like a god.

As the saying goes, humans are born from their mothers, and chickens are born from their mothers. Humans have divine bodies and holy bodies, and naturally chickens also have some gifted bodies.

Some chickens are just one step faster than other chickens in terms of cultivation.

Zhou Yi then developed them into his own subordinates, which saved him time and effort and he didn't have to pay them wages, and the effect was surprisingly good!
"I have already found out that the incident in Wangjiang City was instigated by the Yanri Sect."

"really."

Zhou Yi guessed what was going on, but he didn't feel happy.

A few years ago, more than one force came down. Li Tianmen, Qiufeng Valley, Kaoshan Sect, and Shenjian Sect divided Daqian and replaced the original aristocratic families, civil officials and generals, and noble groups.

Emperor Cheng may seem majestic, but in reality he is just a puppet of several major forces.

The major forces seem to treat this world as just a breeding farm, just like they are cultivating various "delicacies" in the Great Dao Immortal Gourd.

They can recruit the trained warriors into their own sects to expand their power.

The monsters that thrive in nature can be used for nourishment, their blood and flesh can be used for alchemy, and their bones and skin can be used to make weapons and armor.
But the monsters' advancement is definitely not that fast. After all, the spiritual energy of this world has only been revived for a few years. In order to speed up the progress, some forces drive the monsters to devour humans, so as to accelerate their evolution.
How can such a beast be so terrible?
"The spiritual energy in Daqian is thin, and most of the people who come here are ordinary sects. Ordinary people are so cruel and take human lives lightly. I wonder how terrifying those ancient families and ancient holy places are?"

In the past few years, Zhou Yi naturally also sent his little demons to explore outside Daqian, but the result was unknown whether they were alive or dead.

The golden-eyed and blue-eyed chickens he raised had tender meat and crispy bones, with just the right amount of fat and lean meat. Not only did they taste great, they were also full of spiritual energy.

In all likelihood, they were caught and eaten.

As a result, Zhou Yi was extremely wary of the outside world. He remained calm and composed in the Daqian Prison, working hard to improve his own cultivation.

Fortunately, every time he sent out a chicken demon, he would plant a mental imprint on it. Once someone wanted to search its soul, its soul would explode directly, so he didn't have to worry about his secret being discovered.

"Akun, you've worked hard."

“It is the honor of a subordinate to work for his master.”

Zhou Yi nodded.

"I have a way out of Daqian. The risk is a bit high, but the reward is very high. If you go, even if you are in danger of death, if you survive, you will become a demon king!"

Ah Kun's eyes lit up, and he immediately saluted and said:
"I am willing to go."

Zhou Yi showed a gratified smile, and with a flick of his finger, a porcelain bottle shot out, which was full of top-quality elixirs.

"Recite the rules of survival?"

"Yes! The first rule of survival is - if you can avoid fighting, then do not fight; if you can avoid causing trouble, then do not cause trouble; the way of survival comes first.

The second rule of survival: If you have to fight, you must kill the whole family, cut off the roots, and leave no future troubles. If you can fight in a group, never fight alone. If you can attack by surprise, never fight head-on.

The third rule of survival - if you really can't win, remember not to reveal your master's identity and wait for your master to avenge you! "

"Yes, you are worthy of being the strongest chicken in your lineage! Your grandfather and your father were different from ordinary chickens, with tender and chewy meat. Ahem, they were smart and clever. When it comes to your generation, they are even smarter, and can be called the smartest chicken in the current generation of the Divine Chicken Clan!
Go ahead, the map is already inside. When you get there, be sure to keep a low profile, travel more, and learn as much as possible about the outside world. "Yes, sir!"

A Kun bid farewell to Zhou Yi and left, and Zhou Yi released another long-trained chicken demon from his storage ring.

"Liu Neng greets the master."

"Dawn is coming, and our era is about to begin. The smartest young man of the Divine Chicken Clan, are you ready to enter the world?"

Liu Neng has eyes as sharp as torches.

"Liu Neng has been looking forward to this day for a long time. He is willing to go through fire and water and sacrifice his life for his master."

The next day, Zhou Yi came to the Heavenly Prison and saw from afar a team of warriors wearing white crane costumes escorting prison carts to the Heavenly Prison.

The prison van was covered with black cloth, so it was impossible to see what was inside. However, Zhou Yi used his mental power to scan it and identified that there were demons with intelligence inside.

"Hunting demons. White Crane Bird Service. I didn't expect them to move so quickly. I just heard about it in the tavern yesterday, and today I saw the captain of the Demon Slayer Division."

Come to think of it, there is often a time lag between what ordinary people can access and the announcements issued by the court. By the time they know about the policy, who knows how long it has been implemented?

The warden Wen San seemed to have received the notice and had already come here with a group of prison guards to greet them.

"Warden Wen, these demons are now in your hands. Their dantian and limbs have been locked, and they will be disemboweled by the executioner, and their bones, flesh and fur will be stripped off before being handed over to the Ministry of Things."

"You have all worked hard on this journey, and I will take care of the rest. Zhou Yi, quickly take people to transport these things in."

The captain of the Demon Slaying Division said goodbye and left. Wen San ordered everyone to pull the prison cart into a newly vacated yard in the Heavenly Prison, where masters of the Heavenly Prison guards were already waiting. Knives and iron hooks were placed around the yard, making it look like a slaughterhouse.

A prison van was brought in and everyone was driven out.

Zhou Yi heard his men talking in low voices.

"Hiss! It's so scary. I just secretly lifted the curtain a little bit. Guess what's inside? A werewolf standing upright with a little finger stuck in its teeth."

"Oh my god, the demon is so terrifying, how dare those people kill it?"

"Those people just now are no longer the guards of the Heavenly Prison. They are called executioners. They will be responsible for killing demons, peeling off their skin, pulling out their tendons, and separating their flesh and bones. I heard that their monthly salary is eighty taels."

"Fuck, so much? That's almost a thousand taels of income a year."

"Do you think anyone can do it? Those guards are top-notch experts. They have almost reached the acquired realm, with iron skin and bones, and are as strong as an ox. For people like us, let alone killing the monsters, it would be good enough if we are not killed by the monsters."

As they were chatting, a jailer trotted up to Zhou Yi.

"Boss Zhou, the warden is calling you."

"I see."

Zhou Yi came to Wen San's office. Wen San was writing something. When he saw him coming, he immediately smiled and said:
"Old Zhou, you are about to have some good luck."

Zhou Yi was a little confused.

"What good luck?"

"Hehe, didn't the imperial court open up a demon-slaying prison in the Heavenly Prison? They also opened up a Ministry of Things, which is specifically used to receive and send daily demon resource harvests. I recommend you to be an official in the Ministry of Things. This is a lucrative job."
