Zhou House.

In a quiet and elegant courtyard.

A pebble path runs through the courtyard, with green bamboos growing at the corners and koi swimming among the lotus leaves in the clear pond.

There were fruits and snacks on the stone table in the courtyard.

Zhou Qingyu was wearing a moon-white cloud-gauze long dress, with a slender figure, sitting on a stone bench in a dignified and elegant manner.

"Book" sat beside her and told her the story.

"Since the ancient dark ages, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been enriched, and the theme of the human race has changed from fighting against evil spirits to fighting for hegemony over dynasties."

"Take our Great Jin for example. Great Jin is located in the center of the continent and is a place of many battles."

"The main contenders for supremacy with our Great Jin are the grassland Mongols in the north and the Great Qi in the south."

“Relatively speaking, the Yin objects in the Soul Silence Mountains of Dingzhou are not that threatening to Dajin, let alone the human race.”

"This is what I want to tell you. The dark ages are over. Humanity does not need salvation, and we are not saviors."

"Tang Yan must have told you that our duty is to eliminate all evil creatures and evil cultivators."

"Yeah." Zhou Qingyu nodded.

As a newcomer, Tang Yan always reminded her and instilled in her the idea of ​​eliminating evil objects and evil cultivators, saying that this was her duty as the owner of the Haoran weapon.

"She's right, but not entirely."

"Eliminate the evil creatures and evil cultivators."

"If that person couldn't do it, how can we possibly do it?"

"He integrated all the power of the human race, ended the dark age, and made the human race the master of the continent, but he did not eliminate all the evil creatures and evil cultivators. Why?"

"Because evil cultivators and evil spirits cannot be eliminated. As long as the human race is not destroyed, evil spirits and evil cultivators cannot be eliminated."

"What's more, all the forces on the continent are busy attacking and have not invested much energy in dealing with evil creatures and evil cultivators."

"What we Haoran have to do is never to eliminate them, but to suppress them, to minimize the chaos caused by evil creatures and evil cultivators."

"What Tang Yan told you, to eliminate evil creatures and evil cultivators, is too unrealistic."

Zhou Qingyu's pretty face was serious and she nodded slightly to show that she understood.

"In the battle against evil spirits and evil cultivators, Tang Yan is a very good teammate. You can trust her with your back."

"The book" said.

"But when dealing with some things in her daily life, she is very persistent and a little stubborn."

"She likes to enforce her own sense of justice and certain ideas and impose them on others."

"To be honest, I'm a little worried about letting her lead the newcomers, but I really don't have the time. The other members are also busy dealing with evil objects and unrest caused by evil cultivators in various parts of the mainland." "Shu" said helplessly.

"You can trust her abilities."

"You can learn from her methods and experience in dealing with Yin objects."

"But you'd better not learn some of her ideas and ways of doing things."

"Follow your heart right now."

"Otherwise, if you are really influenced by her and do something extreme, you may regret it."

"Shu" looked at Zhou Qingyu and said seriously.

"I understand." Zhou Qingyu nodded thoughtfully.

After these few days of contact, she found that Tang Yan was indeed as the "book" said, and she was very persistent in investigating Su An's affairs.

She kept saying that Su An was just a suspect, but Zhou Qingyu felt that she had already regarded Su An as the mastermind behind the ambush.

All she is doing now is looking for evidence to support her conclusion.

"Haoran is a very loose organization. Just like what I am doing now is not to fight against the evil cultivators, but to pass on some experience to you. I will leave soon."

"To be precise, Haoran is a loose alliance of like-minded people."

“In this organization, you are yourself first.”

"That is to say, you are first the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, and then you are a member of Haoran. Dealing with evil objects and evil cultivators is not an obligation you must fulfill, but a kind of ambition of yours."

"Tang Yan... didn't say that." Zhou Qingyu said after a moment of hesitation.

"She said that as members of Haoran, our first duty is to eliminate evil creatures and evil cultivators."

"Her experience is somewhat complicated."

"Shu" stroked his smooth chin and thought for a moment.

"She once witnessed her family being tortured and killed by evil cultivators in a manner that was almost like slow slicing. She bears a deep blood feud."

"So for her, eliminating evil spirits and evil cultivators is the most important thing in her life, and it takes priority over all other things."

"She is one of the few iron-blooded people in Haoran."

"As for you, don't learn from her, even though you chose to join Haoran just to avenge those people."

"But you still have a lot of family and friends, don't you?"

"Don't be like her. Apart from practicing and honing your martial arts skills, you also spend your days thinking about how to kill evil creatures and evil cultivators."

"It makes me tired just watching her live."

"Yeah." Zhou Qingyu nodded.

Indeed, although Xiaochan, Aunt Liao and the captain of the guards are all people close to her.

But she still has her parents and family, a good friend like Wang Shishi, and Su An, a... friend.

"In addition to evil spirits and evil cultivators, our enemies also include a group of people."

"Most of these people are our enemies, but there is a small number who do not interfere with us and may even be our friends."

"They are called the King's Messengers."

"The Soul Silence Mountains are the largest gathering place for Yin objects on the continent. The rulers of the Soul Silence Mountains are called the 'Soul Silence Kings'."

"And the Royal Envoys are the messengers and spokespersons of the Soul Silence Kings. They serve the Soul Silence Kings in various places on the continent."

"Most of the 'kings' of the Soul Silence Mountains have not yet reached the upper three realms."

"Don't you have the strength to reach the upper three realms?" Zhou Qingyu was a little surprised.

"I thought that to be called a 'king', they should be more than just the middle three realms?"

"What's the point of you becoming a third-level cultivator?" "Shu" chuckled and shook his head.

"Among the three university scholars, four generals, and four titled generals, not many have been promoted to the upper three realms."

"Your father knows these things very well. You can ask him more."

"Seventh realm cultivators are rare, and eighth realm cultivators are even rarer. The number of eighth realm cultivators in the entire continent can be counted on two hands."

"Those who cause chaos are usually kings who have not yet reached the upper three realms. They need to advance to the upper three realms through methods such as slaughtering, sacrificing lives, or harvesting blood food."

"So their king envoys are no different from evil cultivators, or even evil cultivators themselves."

"However, the kings of the upper three realms, such as the King of Mangshan and the King of Jinshan, and their king envoys, the former has not appeared in the world for a long time, and the latter are relatively peaceful and basically have not taken the initiative to cause unrest."

"These kings of the upper three realms are the true rulers of the Soul Silence Mountains. Most of them stay deep in the Soul Silence Mountains, either sleeping or in seclusion, in a state of not caring about worldly affairs."

"Their kings are mostly unfathomable in their power, and some even possess authority that only a king can possess."

"The normal monks among these royal envoys are the ones who keep their distance from us. In some cases, we can even cooperate with them."

"There are many kinds of Yin things, which can be generally divided into four categories: ghosts, zombies, Yin beasts, and ghost spirits."

"The most common ghosts include water ghosts, ghost accomplices, baby ghosts and hanged ghosts."

"There are less common ones such as Painted Skin, Nightmare, and Spiritual Recognition."

"Most zombies are transformed from human corpses, but there are also zombies that exist naturally."

"Yin beasts are similar to demon beasts, but they are also very different. They do not cultivate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the Yin evil energy. Their appearances are usually strange, such as Xiao."

"Monkeys, mandrills, and demons are all Yin beasts."

"The underworld spirit is a yin object born from an object, such as a man-made paper figure or a mirror evil spirit in a mirror."

"The birth of many yin objects is related to people. For example, after a person dies, if they are filled with resentment and there happens to be enough yin and evil energy, they may turn into ghosts such as water ghosts, hanged ghosts, or even zombies."

"Yin objects such as paper figurines and baby ghosts are also mostly made or refined by humans."

"In short, the types and characteristics of Yin objects are complex, and you still have a lot to learn, so be prepared."

"Do you know a lot about evil cultivators?" asked "Shu".

"Gluttony, blood soldiers and baby raisers?" Zhou Qingyu named the three types that Su An had explained to her at that time.

"It seems you've had some understanding."

"These are the three mainstream evil cultivation methods. There are also two other evil methods. One is the Yin Shen Method that can absorb the Qi or mana of normal cultivators. The other is the Cai Bu Method."

"The Caibu method uses Yin to replenish Yang, or Yang to replenish Yin. The person being replenished will suffer a fall in realm and a significant decline in Qi and blood at best, or even die directly at worst."

"Evil cultivators who cultivate gluttony are mostly obese, and they can't control their desire to eat human flesh."

"Most of the evil cultivators who cultivate blood soldiers have blood pupils. Of course, there are a few who don't, and they are bloodthirsty by nature."

"A person who raises babies has no obvious characteristics, but he is the most dangerous among all the evil cultivators."

"If you don't feed the ghost baby medicine and blood regularly, or if you are too weak to control the ghost baby, there is a risk of the ghost baby turning against you."

"These ghost babies that turn against their masters may cause disasters that massacre villages and towns."

"Evil practitioners who practice Yin Shen Fa are prone to mental confusion due to absorbing the energy or magic power of others. In serious cases, they may even fall into madness and lose their ability to tell who they are."

"The evil cultivators who practice the method of collecting and replenishing have serious sexual desires. In the first half of this year, there was an example of an evil cultivator at the second level who died in a brothel due to excessive desire."

"These characteristics are important indicators for us and the Suppression of Evil Department to identify evil practitioners."

"Okay, after talking so much, I'm tired. I should go now."

The "book" stretched, revealing its graceful and exquisite curves.

"During this period of time, you should stay with Tang Yan and learn more about her experience in dealing with evil cultivators and evil spirits."

"I can't be away from there for too long, but as a member of Haoran, I will usually help you get some information."

"By the way, what is your relationship with Su An?"

"Shu" suddenly asked.

"friend……"

Zhou Qingyu hesitated slightly.

"friend?"

"Book" scratched his head.

"I thought there would be a scene where a hero saves a beauty, and then the beauty pledges her love to him."

"Just friends."

The "book" looked a little disappointed.

"I have long disliked Sima Yue. If you were to enter the Marquis's Mansion and become the Crown Prince's Consort, I think that would be great."

"Shu" said with a smile.

Faced with her teasing, Zhou Qingyu felt a little embarrassed.

She wanted to tell "the book" that Wang Shishi and Su An were a couple, and she and Su An were just friends.

But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.

"Elder Concubine."

Zhou Qingyu repeated it in his heart, his face a little stunned.

For her, her daily routine is to read poetry, meditate, read books, study magic, and then attend literary gatherings or go out with Wang Shishi.

She didn't think about the relationship between men and women.

I never even thought about getting married.

As for what the "book" says, after the hero saves the beauty, the beauty will fall in love with the hero and pledge her love to him.

It seems that she doesn't have any. She just wants to go to the Marquis' Mansion every day to ask Su An for advice on poetry and Taoist knowledge.

Zhou Qingyu was in a daze in the courtyard for a long time. When she came to her senses, the "book" had left.
