Qiao Zhi looked at the document and said: "Well... to put it simply, while maintaining the sanity, the body has a demonic reaction, which is regarded as a disease by the court."

"Local government offices need to keep statistics on the number and specific conditions of patients in various places, but for the time being, the main focus is on patients taking the initiative to register."

"After patients sign up, they will be sent to the Buddhist world for free treatment."

"After one year of treatment, you will be considered to have sufficient self-control, and be issued with the relevant demon certificate. You will become a demon certified by the court and still enjoy the original national treatment. Even if you show monster abilities, you will not

Arrested and beheaded..."

"And all guilds and societies in the world that are organized with the theme of demons need to be registered with the imperial court, otherwise they will be regarded as illegal organizations and will be captured by the demon-suppressing commanders from all over the world..."

"Of course, even after the demon is registered, there are actually many restrictions. For example, he cannot be an official, join the army, and cannot enter most secret workshops. He will also appear on the list of regular inspections by the demon-suppressing offices in various places. The demon is also prohibited from interacting with

Intermarriage among other ethnic groups...but these are the internal rules of each yamen, and they will not be reflected in this policy for the time being."

Most mortals knew nothing about the promulgation of the new policy, but for the top leaders of the major forces and the monsters who had retained their intelligence, this was an earth-shattering event.

After reading the documents, Qiao Zhi wondered: "But will there really be demons who take the initiative to register?"

"Of course I will arrange it."

Chu Qiguang said: "In the past year, I have slightly manipulated a few zombie clones, summoned a group of demons, and established an organization called New Oriental..."

"New Oriental?!" Qiao Zhi said in shock: "Is this the demon organization that has emerged as the largest underground knowledge trader in the past year?"

Qiao Zhi quickly recalled some relevant information about New Oriental in his mind, and murmured: "The idea of ​​New Oriental is to let the people of the world recognize the existence of demons as a minority group, prevent demons from being hunted and killed at will, and let the court protect demons in accordance with the law.

Human rights, destigmatizing demons..."

Qiao Zhi said in shock: "I used to think that the philosophy of this demon organization was relatively peaceful. It should be because most demons still maintain human morality and world view, so I have this idea. It turns out it's you."

"In this way, people will be arranged to sign up on their own initiative, and then New Oriental will be registered in the imperial court. When most of the hidden demons see that there is nothing wrong with the registered demons, more and more demons will naturally join them."

"How will New Oriental manage it after that? The imperial court will send people in?"

Chu Qiguang shook his head and said: "The imperial court does not care about specific affairs, and its attitude towards the demons will not support or suppress them for the time being, and let the demons continue to grow naturally."

Chu Qiguang understands very well that if the demons publicize too much or even praise it vigorously, it will lead to the resentment of the people on the one hand, and then lead to the intensification of social conflicts and the division of the people.

On the other hand, the court's propaganda will make many people think that it is okay to be possessed by demons. Chu Qiguang knows this even if he thinks about it...many people who had no future in cultivation will definitely continue to study and even participate in underground activities after hearing the court's propaganda.

Knowledge trading... and finally becoming a demon led to the continuous growth of the demon population and the decrease of the human population, which eventually led to the decline of the human population, the obstruction of the development plan of martial arts and Taoism, and the rupture of the aura layer and other adverse consequences.

However, it is not possible to leave such a force that is gradually growing in number and just hunt and kill it with all its strength. After all, it seems that this thing cannot be banned at present. Instead, it should be used to become a new worker.

However, there are still many contradictions involved, and I am afraid that continuous adjustments will be required in the years to come. This will test the ability of those in power to adjust policies when the situation arises.

"If there are no problems in two years, we will start from the experimental area and promote it nationwide, and strive to count all the demons in the world within five years."

…

The third underground floor of the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas is the hibernation center.

Ji Yuan stood in front of the bed, with white energy steaming all over his body. The energy and blood were emitting bursts of heat along with his movement, and a burst of rainbow light burst out at random.

The last emperor of the Great Xia royal family woke up for the first time after hibernating about 30 years ago.

"Well, the thawing was successful, and you have recovered well." Thirteenth Niang said on the side: "You don't have to rush this Qi and Blood Fluctuation Scroll. It will take at least a year for a regular Five Realm warrior to transform the whole body's Qi and blood."

Ji Yuan looked at the secret book in front of him with some emotion, and said in a daze: "This was created by Chu Qiguang? Do today's warriors use this method to circulate Qi and blood?"

Thirteenth Niang has seen many resuscitation powerhouses, and is experienced in dealing with their similar questions: "That's not all. The energy and blood fluctuations can only begin to transform in the fifth realm. Nowadays, warriors above the fifth realm basically have

Shangjiu Chengdu has completed its transformation."

"All the martial arts available on the market, as well as the martial arts in the Twenty-Six Zhengfa, have been revised, verified and revised by the Northern and Southern Martial Arts."

"Because most of the qi and blood machines in the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas have also undergone adaptive transformation, it will be much more convenient if you can learn how to fluctuate qi and blood."

"By the way, how long do you plan to wake up? What are your plans for next hibernation?"

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's take a look at my health and lifespan first."

At this moment, someone came to visit Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan turned around and glanced at the other person. It was his son Ji He.

Seeing that the other party was already a middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes of life, and even looked older than himself, he couldn't help but show a hint of complexity in his eyes.

As the last prince of the Daxia royal family, Ji He has worked diligently in Chu Qiguang's Chamber of Commerce for almost forty years.

And the originally unruly young man has now been smoothed by reality.

In the first three or four years, Ji He still did not give up the idea of ​​reviving Daxia and catching up with Chu Qiguang. He secretly vowed countless nights that one day he would make Chu Qiguang look up to him.

However, the heavy daily work of the engineering team and the massive debts he carried were constantly weighing on his head, leaving him with no time or energy to consider his past dreams.

After Ji Yuan hibernated, the family's income was reduced by more than half, and the expensive hibernation expenses were borne by the young man.

So during the day, I dug mountains, opened roads, built bridges... and did work on the construction site.

Stay up late at night at the Gate of Wonders to develop your magical powers.

Rest days... If Chu Qiguang's engineering team had rest days, he would definitely use them to do part-time jobs such as submarine engineering, Taoist experiments, and Taoist teaching.

He only eats in the construction site canteen and never participates in the entertainment of his coworkers.

Ji He suffered hardships, endured fatigue, and devoted all his enthusiasm, but his father and his own huge debts made him increasingly unable to find the direction to persist and the meaning of hard work.

It seems that I am destined to spend my whole life in debt.

Even Zen Master Tianwu and King Chilong, who originally joined the engineering team together, left the engineering team after paying off their debts and gradually lost contact with him.

What happened to them later, Ji He, heard from Qiao Zhi that Zen Master Tianwu seemed to have gone to a small overseas country and became a supporting teacher at the local Taoist temple.

King Chilong returned to Dragon City in the East China Sea, but his family had long since declined, and all his property had been occupied by his relatives. So King Chilong was doing some shipping business while fighting lawsuits in Dragon City.

Recalling my own life, I used to wear bright clothes and angry horses when I was young, I had peak duels with masters from various factions after I debuted, and I had great ambitions when I was conquering the world... all of this seems to have completely disappeared.

Now, he is just a middle-aged man who goes to work every day. The original arrogance and coldness in his eyes have long since disappeared, leaving only a faint sense of peace.

Ji Yuan patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Ji He took his father to go through a series of procedures first, then returned to the engineering team's office to register, and finally arrived at the dormitory.

But after a few days of getting along day and night, Ji Yuan quickly discovered something was wrong with the other party.

After using the demon-conquering talisman to illuminate the opponent's hands that were constantly twisting and deforming, Ji Yuan said in disbelief: "You...are possessed by a demon?"

Ji He nonchalantly knocked the demon-conquering talisman out of the other person's hand, twisted his neck and said, "Actually, I've wanted to tell you for a long time, but I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it for a while... I'm possessed by a demon."

Ji Yuan's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "When?"

Ji He said calmly: "Last year, I am now a demon registered by the imperial court... If you feel uncomfortable, you can share a different dormitory with me."

Ji Yuan's body was shaken, and he sat down on the bed, quietly listening to Ji He's popular science about the demon policy, but he never expected that his middle-aged son would suddenly become like this.

Ji Yuan said somewhat unwillingly: "Can't you... be cured like this?"

Ji He breathed out and said impatiently: "Demons are also human beings. Everyone has demons in their body, just like the qi, blood and soul in your body. Demonization is a normal phenomenon. As long as you learn,

If you practice cultivation, you may become a demon."

"And now that I can maintain my intelligence even after becoming a demon, we can live a normal life like ordinary people. I am not the only demon in the engineering team. You'd better get used to it."

Ji Yuan opened his mouth and felt that the times had changed beyond recognition, and even monsters could call themselves humans.

Ji He then said: "There is another thing that I might as well tell you. I am already married, and my wife is also a demon..."

Ji Yuan: "!"

Chapter 925

Xinghan 24th year, October.

Jiangzhou in the south, Hongxing Prefecture, is where Dragon Snake Mountain, the holy land of Tianshi Sect, is located.

Fucheng was shrouded in darkness. Except for the faint light emitted by Tianxiatong in the sky, only sporadic firelight could be seen in the entire city.

Tianshijiao has developed rapidly in recent years. With thousands of years of accumulation, they have invested in a large number of local factories, qi-blood machines and qi-blood networks, and built commercial roads and waterways, making Hongxing Prefecture a southeastern commercial center.

important nodes in the network.

The talismans and elixirs produced by the Tianshi Sect have been sold all over the world over the years, creating astonishing wealth.

In addition, every year it receives a large number of Tianshi Sect believers from all over the world. The demand for various accommodations, food, incense, sacrifices, rituals, etc. has also created a huge market, making the entire Hongxing Mansion more prosperous.

lively.

At this moment, in an alley, screams had just begun but were suddenly interrupted.

A figure covered in blood was being dragged away.

The figure was covered in fur, and there seemed to be two pointed cat ears on its head. A broken tail fell to the side and was picked up.

The followers of the Tianshi Sect were pulling him back to the small courtyard when they heard a shout from outside the alley: "What are you doing?"

I saw a Qi-blood fighter soldier wrapped in an exoskeleton flying at low altitude and arriving at the scene. A burst of blood burst out from his eyes, completely covering the scene.

Seeing the appearance of the Qi-Blooded Robots, several followers of the Tianshi Sect were shocked.

In recent years, in order to strengthen local governance, the imperial court has thoroughly implemented local control over every village and household. Under the leadership of Chu Qiguang, a new type of institution called Anminsuo has been implemented into village-level administrative units.

, the personnel inside are called inspectors.
