Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 100 Patrol Flag
Jiang Yue finished his practice and looked at the sky. It was already afternoon.

He wandered around the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes for a while and found many caves where snakes hibernated.

Many snakes are killed by the roots of blood-red flowers while hibernating. Their blood is sucked dry, leaving only their snake skins in the caves.

In addition, many snakes hibernate in places far away and have not been harmed.

Jiang Yue thought about it and decided not to kill all the hibernating snakes at once, because the snake fruit grows by absorbing nutrients from the snake corpses, including the blood-red flowers. If this place is kept for sustainable development, Silang will not lack resources in the future.

After inspecting the Snake Valley, Jiang Yue rolled up the shriveled corpse of the giant python. All the blood inside the corpse was sucked dry by the three-pointed, double-edged sword, while the flesh and internal organs were absorbed by the blood-red flowers, leaving only skin and scales.

The three-pointed, double-edged sword only made three holes in the armor, so there is still a lot of usable space left. The scales can be used to make armor or for decoration, and should be able to be sold for a good price.

The giant python was more than ten meters long. Even if it was shriveled, it was still quite large when rolled up. It could not fit into the animal skin bag, so Jiang Yue could only tie it up with animal tendons and carry it on his back.

"Let's go and have a look somewhere else."

Jiang Yue greeted Xiaotian.

The man and the dog continued to wander in the mountains and forests. Jiang Yue had almost completely memorized the outline and route of the outer perimeter of Funiu Mountain.

He never forgets the path he has walked.

After wandering for another hour, Jiang Yue was brought by Xiaotian to the dilapidated Buddhist temple he had visited before.

He once got a young leaf from this dilapidated Buddhist temple, which was very valuable, and was chased all over the mountain by monkeys.

Coming here again today, Jiang Yue felt interested in continuing the exploration.

"Wang Wang Wang-"

Xiaotian barked wildly at the burnt tree.

"You want me to move this dead tree that was struck by lightning?"

Jiang Yue was slightly stunned.

"Wang-"

Xiaotian nodded in confirmation.

"Is this tree a treasure? It is possible that a dry and charred tree can produce tender leaves that are worth a lot of time."

Jiang Yue thought so and simply took the three-pointed, double-edged knife and started digging in the soil under the charred tree.

After digging for a while, Jiang Yue saw the roots of the dead tree and began to become cautious.

However, at this time, a squeaking sound was heard from the woods around the dilapidated Buddhist temple. Monkeys were swinging from the trees, holding Buddhist objects such as wooden fish, demon-subduing pestles, and golden sticks, and grinning at Jiang Yue.

The monkey in the lead was the largest, with a butt as red as a sunset cloud. He was holding a Buddha's head in his hand and standing on a branch not far from Jiang Yue.

He must be the monkey king of this monkey group.

"Hooho-"

The Monkey King held the Buddha statue's head in one hand and roared at Jiang Yue, as if warning him, but Jiang Yue didn't care.

If it were before, Jiang Yue’s first reaction when seeing this group of monkeys would be to run away, but now it is different from the past.

With his strength, even if he stood here and let these monkeys beat him, he would not suffer any injuries.

"Hooho-"

When the Monkey King saw that Jiang Yue did not leave, he jumped down from the tree, holding the Buddha statue's head in both hands, and smashed it down on Jiang Yue's head.

Jiang Yue raised the tip of his knife and the Buddha's head shattered. The Monkey King fell right on the blade of the three-pointed, double-edged knife and was cut into two smooth halves.

Blood rained down and the monkeys were terrified. They screamed and chirped, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

【Time + 10 years】

【Time: 135 years】

"Get out of here, don't bother me!"

Jiang Yue shouted and pointed the three-pointed, double-edged knife at the monkeys in the tree.

Unexpectedly, the monkeys did not run away at all. Instead, they came down from the trees chirping and kowtowed to Jiang Yue.

There was also an old monkey who pointed at the Monkey King's body, then at Jiang Yue, and squeaked something inaudible.

Jiang Yue couldn't handle this scene.

Do you want him to be the king of the monkey group?

"Xiaotian, can you understand what they are saying?"

Jiang Yue asked.

"Wang Wang Wang-"

Xiaotian barked a few times and acted as an interpreter for Jiang Yue.

"You mean, since I defeated their king, I have to be their king?"

Jiang Yue's eyes widened, and he waved his hand, "Xiaotian, tell them to choose a new king themselves. I won't do it."

"Wang Wang-"

Xiaotian started barking at the monkeys, and after the monkeys finished their chattering, he told Jiang Yue what they meant: "Woof woof——"

Jiang Yue fell silent after hearing this.

According to Xiaotian, the monkey group wanted Jiang Yue to be their king, and they wanted to offer Jiang Yue treasures and help Jiang Yue to destroy the monkey group in the Taoist temple in the east.

It seems that the two groups of monkeys in the dilapidated Taoist temple and the abandoned Buddhist temple are still enemies.

"treasure?"

Jiang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Let them lead the way. Let's go and see what treasures there are."

"Wang-"

Xiaotian started communicating with the monkey group, and soon the old monkey nodded and led the monkey group out of the forest.

Jiang Yue and Xiao Tian followed closely behind, walking through the forest.

He followed the monkeys for about 20 to 30 miles of mountain roads, and went around in circles along the way. He came across many similar places, as if they were surrounded by ghost walls, and there was also white fog that interfered with his vision. If it weren't for the guidance of the monkeys, Jiang Yue felt that he would have difficulty finding this place.

When the monkeys stopped, the view finally became clear.

All I saw before me was a huge valley with dense forests and thick poisonous miasma.

Through the thick poisonous miasma, one can see the ruins of a palace in the valley. The walls of this palace are all shattered and the dome has long been blown away, revealing many bones, broken statues, and a large number of Buddhist and Taoist artifacts in the palace.

It is worth mentioning that there are many porcelain bottles around the bones, some of which are damaged and some are not.

Not only that, there were also two monks that looked like zombies, and three zombie Taoists wandering around in the palace, with an extremely terrifying aura.

The monkeys were chattering and talking to Jiang Yue, and Xiaotian was acting as a translator.

Gradually Jiang Yue understood that there were many precious medicines in this palace, but it was also full of dangers. The poisonous miasma alone could easily kill the giant bear. There were also various mechanisms and four monsters. The monkeys usually did not dare to go in.

Jiang Yue used divination to predict the future and avoid disaster, and concluded that entering the ancient palace was a bad omen, a sign of certain death, so he did not dare to enter rashly.

There is a cave above the valley, with many monkeys in it. It is the lair of the monkey group of the Buddhist temple, and there are many treasures taken out from the ancient temple in it.

The monkeys meant that they could help Jiang Yue go in and get the treasure, but Jiang Yue had to help them kill the monkeys at the damaged Taoist temple.

"Show me the treasure first."

Jiang Yue pointed to the cave. After Xiaotian translated, the old monkey thought about it and immediately ran back into the cave chattering.

When the old monkey came out again, he had three porcelain bottles and some yellowed ancient books in his hands.

The porcelain bottles and ancient books were found in the ruined Buddhist temple. The monkeys in the valley did not dare to go in and explore.

Jiang Yue took it and looked. There were three porcelain bottles, each with three or four pills left. They smelled fragrant, but he didn't recognize them.

Then came the yellowed ancient books.

The ancient books are all badly damaged, all in fragments, the fonts are so blurred that they are unrecognizable, and they are completely useless.

"Only this?"

Jiang Yue asked.

The old monkey nodded. "Forget it, I don't want it."

Jiang Yue thought for a moment, returned the things in his hand to the old monkey, and said in a deep voice: "You guys can solve it by yourselves. It has nothing to do with me. I can't be your monkey king."

After saying that, Jiang Yue turned around and left. The old monkey kept chattering, trying to stop Jiang Yue, but Jiang Yue's speed did not slow down and the old monkey could not stop him at all.

Finally, the old monkey let out a few strange cries, threw the porcelain bottle in his hand at Jiang Yue, chattered something, and then ran into the forest without looking back.

Jiang Yue held three porcelain bottles and looked at the old monkey's receding back, wondering what this guy was thinking.

"Wang Wang-"

Xiaotian barked a few times.

"Thank you for not killing the monkeys?"

Jiang Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This old monkey is quite serious, knows what he is talking about and is quite intelligent, but he just can't speak.

Jiang Yue took the porcelain bottle, looked at the ancient temple in the valley, and turned to leave.

This ancient temple in the valley is full of traces of being eroded by time. It is estimated that a long time ago, a battle between monks and Taoists broke out in this ancient temple, and many people died. Some turned into bones, and some turned into zombie-like monsters.

Jiang Yue temporarily called it the Ancient Palace Battlefield.

When he feels he can defeat those monsters, he will come again.

Now he wanted to go to the Taoist temple to see if there were any pills or ancient books left behind that had been taken away by the monkeys.

Whoosh whoosh—

Jiang Yue and Xiaotian walked through the mountains, seemingly slowly, but in fact they had gone very far in the blink of an eye.

After walking more than thirty miles along the mountain road and just arriving at Kuoye Plain and preparing to go to the ruined Taoist temple, Jiang Yue heard the cry of an eagle patrolling the sky.

The eagle's cry means to call Jiang Yue back.

"Ok?"

Jiang Yue switched to the sky survey perspective.

I saw Xuntian hovering high in the sky above Funiu Village. I could see the village below. Three people were knocking on Jiang Yue's door.

Focusing his eyes, the picture gradually enlarged and Jiang Yue saw the person in front of the door clearly.

It was Captain Zhang, Yue Jiuhua from the Yue family, and Han Li, the fat boy from the Han family.

Three people knocked on the door, as if they had something important to tell them, so Xuntian hurriedly called them.

Jiang Yue saw everything, and as soon as he saw Captain Zhang, he knew it might be related to the tiger in the dream.

"Let's go, Xiaotian, let's go back first."

Jiang Yue rubbed Xiaotian's head and said with a smile: "Let's go to the Taoist temple tomorrow to have a look. Let's go home first."

"Wang-"

Xiaotian barked and ran home happily.

Jiang Yue will never forget the route he has walked before, and Xiaotian is not much different, but he relies more on his sense of smell.

The man and the dog hurried on their way, and in less than half an hour, they came out of the mountain and returned to Funiu Village.

Han Li, Yue Jiuhua and Captain Zhang were sitting on the bluestone steps in front of Jiang Yue's house, discussing something. When they saw Jiang Yue approaching from a distance, the three of them quickly stood up.

"Sixth Master, your eagle is really extraordinary. It's so smart."

Captain Zhang greeted Jiang Yue with a face full of envy, and his eyes fell on the powerful Xiaotian, and he sighed: "Your dog is also extraordinary. With such surging vitality, it is probably at the beginner level."

"Haha, Master Zhang, you didn't come here to praise me, did you?"

Jiang Yue smiled and bowed, then bowed to the other two and said, "Brother Yue, Brother Han."

"Brother Jiang."

Yue Jiuhua and Han Li returned the greeting.

"Everyone, please come in and talk."

Jiang Yue pushed open the door, led a few people in, and sat together around the wooden table in the main room.

The three of them glanced at the furnishings in Jiang Yue's room and were stunned.

Because Jiang Yue's family is really too poor.

It is no exaggeration to say that the house is bare. Apart from a wooden table and a few wooden chairs, there is no other decent furnishings. Although the house is tidy, it is too old and it is obvious that it has been lived in for decades.

Thinking that Jiang Yue had grown up in such an environment and had become a successful warrior, everyone couldn't help but think more highly of Jiang Yue and admire him even more.

Jiang Yue didn't have any tea at home, so he poured hot water for them, sat down, and said with a smile, "My family is poor, please forgive me."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Captain Zhang waved his hand and got straight to the point: "We are not here for tea either. The county has made a decision regarding the death of Sun Yat-sen and the near extinction of the Lin family."

"Oh?"

Jiang Yue pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Captain Zhang continued, "An expert from Huichun Prefecture has come to the county and said that this matter is related to the Beast God Cult, and that the area of ​​Funiushan Mountain, which is close to Qingyang Town and has a radius of 100 miles, is a place that the Beast God Cult must fight for. He ordered a few of us to temporarily hold the position of patrolling the mountain flag and inspect the outer perimeter of Funiushan Mountain."

"On the one hand, I am fully responsible for the Sun Yayi case and the Lin family case, and looking for the murderer who killed Sun Yayi. On the other hand, I am surveying the terrain and guarding against the Beast God Cult's attack."

After that, Captain Zhang handed Jiang Yue a token and said with a smile: "This is a patrol order, a symbol of our status."

"so."

Jiang Yue took the mountain patrol order and took a look at it. The order was made of wood and had mysterious patterns on the side. It was probably a decree added by a Shinto monk. The front was engraved with three big characters "Xuntiansi" and the back was engraved with the words "Xuntiansi Mountain Patrol Small Flag (on behalf of)".

"Now that these two things are done, I'll go there on behalf of you."

Captain Zhang said.

Hearing this, Jiang Yue raised his eyebrows and understood instantly.

For such a good thing, there would probably be a lot of people vying for it. My own master must have helped me with the process, so this task fell on me.

"However, Qingyang Town is so barren and remote, why would the Beast God Cult come here?"

Jiang Yue took the token and asked about his doubts.

Captain Zhang smiled and said, "That Shinto master said that the Beast God Cult is looking for some ruins, and the location is in this area, but we don't know what is in it or where it is."

Jiang Yue was slightly stunned when he heard this.

remains?

Could it be the ancient palace battlefield that I just encountered?

It seemed that the ancient temple battlefield was a place where there were real treasures, which led to the Buddhist and Taoist monks fighting each other to grab the treasures. However, for some reason, in the end, all the people from both sides died there.

Could it really be the ancient palace battlefield?

What kind of magic is there that actually attracted the Beast God Cult?

"From now on, we will be colleagues. We will be responsible for patrolling the mountains and forests with Qingyang Town as the core and a radius of 100 miles. If we find the monster killer, we will kill him immediately. If we find the Beast God Cult's men, we will report it immediately. This is our job."

Captain Zhang said in a deep voice: "It's actually very easy and simple, but we can't be careless. After all, once this matter is over, the position of Patrol Officer will be in our hands. We must work together. Let me introduce myself. I'm Zhang Tie. I'm at the second level. I'm good at using a long sword and can solve cases. I really don't know much about the mountains and forests."

"I am also in the second realm."

Yue Jiuhua said, "He is good at using spears and bows. He has many friends in the martial arts world and is well-informed."

"I am also in the second realm."

The fat boy Han Li narrowed his eyes and introduced: "My killing skills are average, I don't know anything, I just run away quickly. If there is any strength, it is that I am rich."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "Jiang is still in the beginner realm, and his strength is average, but I am very familiar with the surrounding mountains and forests."
