Qin Feng suddenly thought of the third task, and asked, "Master, tell me, what is 'Tao'?"
"The way of heaven is to make up for what is lacking..."
The old Taoist shook his head and was about to give a lecture, but Qin Feng was speechless: "Master, I will also memorize the Tao Te Ching."
Yes, there is also a Tao Te Ching in this world, and this famous sentence comes from it.
The way of heaven, more than enough damage but not enough means that the laws of nature will balance everything.
If the mountain is too high, it will collapse, if the tree is too high, it will be easily struck by lightning, and the water in the high place will flow to the low place, so that the water in the low place will rise.
If you can sum it up in two words, it would be - balance!
"Then there is no other way." The old Taoist clapped his hands and leaned on the chair comfortably: "For a teacher, being able to eat meat is the way, being able to drink alcohol is the way, and not competing with others is also the way!"
Qin Feng felt this sentence, as if he had realized something.
"Drink, drink, it's useless to stop thinking about these things." The old man urged Qin Feng to drink, and Qin Feng had to accompany him to drink together. At the end of the drink, both of them fell down on the table.
Just before falling asleep, Qin Feng asked: "Master, how many things are you hiding from me?"
Leaving aside the supernatural powers, the old dao is by no means as simple as he has shown, and the second is his understanding of the demon slayer, the old dao must have some relationship with the demon slayer.
"Hehehe..." The old man didn't answer, but just smirked. He really drank too much.
Qin Feng curled his lips and stopped asking, and he couldn't ask a fart.
In fact, it is quite fair, the old Taoist has many secrets that he does not know, and he also has his own secrets.
Qin Feng closed his eyes and fell asleep neatly.
...
The next day, just before dawn, Qin Feng quietly left.
Letting go of this kind of thing, the more bland the better.
Before leaving, Qin Feng bowed deeply to the sleeping old Taoist, and then left with the token of killing the monster. As for the money, he didn't take any money with him.
The Demon Slayer family has a big business, so they have to include food and shelter, right?
Just after Qin Feng closed the door and the sound of footsteps went away, the old Taoist slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly: "The long road is long and full of water, I hope you will take care of it!"
In the courtyard of the yamen.
Deacon Ji held the token stick, frowned and said, "You mean, you want to join the Demon Slayer Division?"
"That's right!"
Qin Feng nodded.
Deacon Ji threw the token back, and said calmly: "Slaying the demon boss is not as simple as you think, although there is a lot of power here, it is all the brothers who put their lives into it.
If you want to come to kill demons to get promoted and get rich and enjoy the power, it's still free! "
Qin Feng said eloquently: "No, I joined the Demon Slaying Division because I have always taken the task of subduing demons and eliminating demons as my own responsibility. It just happened to be such an opportunity, so I came here to seek refuge."
Qin Feng himself believed that loyal statement!
Sure enough, Deacon Ji was also a little shaken, and nodded inwardly.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"We kill monsters, but not everyone accepts them."
One of Deacon Ji's subordinates said something indifferent, and what greeted him was Deacon Ji's hateful eyes: "Last night, if he hadn't delayed Taoist Gu, Taoist Gu would have run away!"
This subordinate was immediately speechless, they did not keep Daoist Gu outside, they were quite remiss.
It is true that it is not so easy to join the demon slaying division, at least one must have some means of subjugating demons.
However, Deacon Ji had seen Qin Feng's skills last night, so he is fully qualified.
The only thing that needs to be considered is sincerity and motivation. After all, recently, there have been many members of the White Lotus Sect secretly infiltrating the Demon Slayer, and the identity of the comers must be investigated clearly.
There is no need to think about Qin Feng helping the demon slayer to capture the key criminals of the White Lotus Sect.
"Monster Slaying, all you do is life-threatening work. Let me ask you one more time, have you thought about it?" Deacon Ji asked for the last time, and Qin Feng said without moving his eyes: "I have thought clearly, I, Qin Feng, Power and demons are incompatible!"
"Okay, Shitou, go ask the magistrate for another fast horse."
The stone in Deacon Ji's mouth was the one who questioned Qin Feng's strength just now. Now that everything is a foregone conclusion, how could he dare to say anything else, and immediately went back to bring a fast horse.
In this way, Qin Feng also joined the party.
There were not many people on this escort trip. Besides him and Deacon Ji, there were also two young servants of the demon slayer, nicknamed Stone and Bull, and a groom who drove the carriage.
In fact, there was another subordinate, the one who was seriously injured by Taoist Gu, so he stayed in Jiuge City to recuperate in order not to delay his journey.
"drive!!"
The stone and the wild bull rode their horses and swung their whips, rushing to the forefront of the team to serve as scouts.
Qin Feng and Deacon Ji are at the back of the team, in the carriage, imprisoning Gu Daoist, as for the illusionist and other young people, they are also temporarily detained in the death cell in Jiuge City.
"Deacon Ji, if I start working hard from now on, how long will it take to get the position of Admiral of the Demon Killing Division?"
Qin Feng was also idle, so he started talking with Deacon Ji.
Deacon Ji sneered and said, "It's a story from the Arabian Nights! I reminded you before you joined the Monster Killing Division that the Monster Killing Division is not a place to get promoted and get rich."
Admirals are generally high-end martial arts gyms in a province, and there are also naval admirals in coastal areas.
The position of admiral in the Monster Slayer Division is already the second person in the Monster Slayer Division, besides the commander in chief of the Monster Slayer Division.
That is to say, Qin Feng needs to climb up step by step from a newcomer who just joined the Demon Slaying Division. According to the normal process, he can sit in the position of deacon in three to five years. .
It is not bad for ordinary people to be a deacon in a lifetime. It is not easy to stand out among many deacons and become a bodyguard flag. Even if you become a bodyguard flag, you may not be able to stand out among the four bodyguard flags and become an admiral.
So Deacon Ji said that Qin Feng is in the Arabian Nights, there is nothing wrong with that.
"Little friend, why don't you come to my White Lotus God Sect, and with my little friend's means and your recommendation, it will not be a problem for you to become the leader of my altar, and you don't need to be enraged by the court!"
Inside the carriage, Taoist Gu saw Qin Feng being scolded by Deacon Ji, he couldn't help smiling deliberately to solicit him.
Deacon Ji flicked his finger lightly, a silver needle as thin as a hair, sealed the acupuncture point where the Gu Taoist spoke impartially.
"Noisy, don't force me to kill you now."
Deacon Ji snorted coldly. According to the rules, he has the right to kill first and play later.
But this is just a bad strategy, the task can only be considered as a successful completion if the Taoist Gu can be escorted back to the capital.
Unknowingly, a group of people have entered the mountain road.
Qin Feng asked curiously: "Is this place called Wanhu Mountain?"
"That's right." The groom had been unable to intervene just now. As a local, he now said: "This mountain is called Wanhu Mountain. It was originally called Yingshan Mountain, but the foxes in the mountain have been getting more and more since hundreds of years ago. After more and more, it was originally called Wanhu Mountain."
"The rumors in the mountains are all true?"
When Qin Feng was drinking tea in the city, he heard the tea drinkers around him discussing Wanhu Mountain.
It is said that there are fox spirits in this fox mountain, which is different from the vicious foxes in some ancient books who like to poach people's hearts. The fox spirits in the mountains never take the initiative to hurt people.
It's just that he occasionally uses illusion to fool the pedestrians who enter the mountain, and then let them go. Such behavior is a bit playful and cute.
The groom smiled and said, "I haven't seen it, but I heard it mentioned by the old man before, and it's probably true."
Qin Feng nodded. In this world where demons are rampant, it is not surprising that there are fox spirits.
The mountain road was rugged, and the speed of the journey slowed down.
Both Deacon Ji and Qin Feng became vigilant. Although the goblins in the rumors are good, monsters are monsters. It is natural to hurt, kill, and eat people.
But what should be said should not be said, the scenery here is really beautiful!
It's autumn, and most of the leaves on the mountain are withered and yellow. Compared with the spring, it is a kind of decaying beauty.
Qin Feng suddenly remembered something and said, "You two brothers, why haven't you come back yet?"
"alert!"
Deacon Ji looked at the hourglass in his hand. According to the agreement, they would send someone back every quarter of an hour to report back.
It has been almost two quarters of an hour now, but I haven't even seen a single person.
Qin Feng's hand couldn't help pressing on the sword at his waist. This sword was given to him by Deacon Ji. It wasn't a good sword, but it was sharp enough.
After all, I am used to using a sword, so it is easier to have a sword on my body.
If the speed of the carriage slowed down, the groom who was driving the carriage was tense, his back was already wet with sweat, and the two adults who came to kill the monsters were so nervous, how could he, an ordinary person, not be afraid.
After advancing for several minutes, there was a smell of blood in the air.
Qin Feng and Deacon Ji pulled out three points of their swords at the same time, and saw that on the small road ahead, the stone and the bull, together with their horses, fell into a pool of blood.
Qin Feng and Deacon Ji got out of the car to check the corpse, and saw the horror in their eyes, obviously they had encountered something terrible.
Moreover, without even resisting much, he was instantly killed!
Deacon Ji knelt down, took off the masks on their faces, and closed their eyelids.
His expression remains the same, this is the ultimate fate of most demon slayers, maybe he will be the same.
"No, it's not a fox demon!"
Qin Feng carefully observed a wound on the shoulder of the stone, and found that it was not the sharp claws of a fox, but more like being killed by some kind of strange weapon, and judging from the multiple wounds, the opponent clearly had the ability to kill with one blow , It was indeed a teasing killing of two people.
Suddenly, the wind blows!
Falling leaves in the autumn wind obscured the sight, and something not far away swirled towards the two of them.
Qin Feng listened to the wind to identify his position, raised his hand and shook it, and knocked the flying hidden weapon away, the tiger's mouth was indeed in pain from the shock.
There was a crack in the long sword in his hand.
Qin Feng complained frantically in his heart: "What kind of quality is this? Get your money back!"
