Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 102: Killing the Demons
Several people entered the mountains, still led by Xiaotian.

The red line is almost ten miles deep into the Funiu Mountains from the first hunting ground, and its length is about a hundred miles.

"If you go upstream along the Huichun River, you will soon reach the place marked by the red line."

As Jiang Yue walked, he explained, "There are several high cliffs over there. We can see everything clearly from the cliffs. There is also a mountain temple on the cliff, but it has been abandoned for a long time and no one worships. If we patrol the defense line later, we can rest at the mountain temple."

"That's good."

Zhang Tie said in a deep voice: "We basically have to patrol day and night. If the terrain is very high, we can save a lot of walking time."

"Go and take a look first before talking."

Jiang Yue smiled and led a few people forward. After walking twenty or thirty miles of mountain roads, they finally arrived at the Broadleaf Plain.

Along the way, the two were tortured by poisonous insects, mosquitoes and flies in the mountains.

Although they are realm two warriors and their skin will not be broken even if they allow poisonous insects to bite them, the feeling of poisonous insects crawling on their bodies is really uncomfortable.

In fact, they could directly stimulate the qi and blood and condense it into blood mist around them, but the two were worried that the monster that killed Sun Yayi would discover them and escape in advance, so they could only restrain their own breath and keep slapping the poisonous insects along the way.

On the other hand, no poisonous insects would approach Jiang Yue, which really surprised the two of them.

Several people stood on the broad-leaved plain, walking along the river. Han Li slapped a poisonous insect that was attached to his leg to death and said enviously, "Brother Jiang, why didn't any poisonous insects come to you? They all came to us?"

"Haha, Brother Han, I don't know either."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Maybe it's because Brother Han is too strong, full of blood and too sweet, that's why all the poisonous insects are attracted to you."

"Ha ha ha ha."

This made Han Li laugh. He smiled helplessly and said, "But what you said does make sense, Brother Jiang. The longer the divine herbs and precious medicines are nourished by heaven and earth, the more they are coveted. It's the same for humans and demons. The stronger they are, the more tonic they are."

At this point, Captain Zhang Tie smiled and said, "If it weren't for this country, I don't know how many people would have become precious medicine and food for demons."

"Ah."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly.

Although there were no wentang in the population gathering places at the township and city levels in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they were governed only by yamen runners and elders of the gentry and wealthy families, there were many problems. But overall, if there was no Great Zhou Dynasty, ordinary people would live a more miserable life.

Of course, Jiang Yue grew up under the red flag in his previous life, and he did not have much awe for the imperial power in his heart. He was just looking at the problem from the perspective of a dialectical guest.

The group walked out of the broad-leaved plain and crossed several mountains. They talked about everything along the way, which brought them closer and allowed Jiang Yue to better understand their temperaments and personalities.

Captain Zhang is an old captain who has been in the position for twenty years. He is considered to be very diligent, but he has no background and his cultivation has not made any progress. After the death of Chief Constable Luo Hun, he was not good enough to be promoted to the position of Chief Constable. He had to find another way, and by using a favor he had done to a person, he got the opportunity to become a mountain patrol flagman.

When talking about Jiang Yue's apprenticeship to Qimen, Captain Zhang was quite envious.

As for Han Li, he is short and fat, an optimist, who often boasts that he is very rich, but in fact he is very stingy and would rather break a coin into two halves before spending it.

The few of them crossed mountains and rivers and soon arrived at the first hunting ground.

"After leaving this plain, walk a dozen miles ahead and you will reach the place marked by the red line."

Jiang Yue introduced.

"That's still pretty fast."

Han Li smiled.

"Wang-"

At this time, Xiaotian suddenly barked and bit Jiang Yue's trouser leg, indicating that there was a treasure to the west of Jiang Yue.

Zhang Tie and Han Li looked at Jiang Yue and Xiaotian curiously, not knowing what was going on.

"Oh?"

Jiang Yue raised his eyebrows and said to Han Li and Zhang Tie, "Wait a moment."

After saying that, Jiang Yue followed Xiaotian and ran quickly to the west. Zhang Tie and Han Li looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

The group followed Xiaotian westward for less than five miles when they saw Xiaotian pounce on the grass in front of him, paddle like a dog, and pick up a fruit that looked like a sweet potato. He then ran back to Jiang Yue happily, waiting for praise.

"Good dog, awesome!"

Jiang Yue took the fruit, squatted down, hugged Xiaotian's neck, and praised him affectionately.

This made Xiaotian extremely excited, and his dog tail wagged extremely happily.

【Time + 30 years】

【Time: 30 years】

The time reminder made Jiang Yue secretly happy.

Such a "sweet potato" is actually worth thirty years of time!

After strengthening his ability to hunt for spirits and treasures, Xiaotian’s treasure hunting ability is much stronger than before.

Not to mention anything else, this "sweet potato" grew in the soil. If it weren't for Xiaotian, Jiang Yue might not have been able to find it even if he walked past it.

"I rely on!"

Han Li looked at the "sweet potato" in Jiang Yue's hand with his eyes wide open, exclaiming: "This is a ground-turning dragon, which grows underground in mountains and forests. The plants exposed above the ground are no different from ordinary weeds and are extremely difficult to find. This ground-turning dragon is rich in the rich essence of the mountain land and has a strong effect on the physical body. It is one of the best tonics for warriors in the first and second realms. Such a large plant is worth thirty taels of silver and is extremely popular."

Having said that, Han Li's gaze fell on Xiaotian with great envy.

"Brother Jiang, your dog is really extraordinary. It can actually find spirits and treasures."

Han Li sighed.

"Yes."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Without Xiaotian, I wouldn't have been able to improve so quickly."

"I'm so jealous!"

Han Li said enviously, "When Brother Jiang becomes stronger, he can hold a hawk in his left hand and a white dog in his right hand. In this 800-li mountain, there are many precious medicines that absorb the essence of heaven and earth and grow from the blessings of mountains and rivers. Wouldn't it be possible to obtain them at will?"

Zhang Tie also echoed, "Yes, the treasures of the mountains and rivers are all in Brother Jiang's hands. Damn it, if I can't get the mountain patrol flag this time, I will change my career and become a hunter."

"That's right. I'll buy a greyhound when I get back."

Han Yue was very excited. He was born into the Han family, a wealthy family. He could easily buy all kinds of medicinal herbs and tonics since he was a child, and he had never thought of going to the mountains to find them himself.

Buy a few hunting dogs and go to the mountains to look for them, and let the hunting dogs work for you. How cool that would be.

Thinking of this, the stuttering Fatty Han became very excited. He couldn't wait to get a few hunting dogs to search the mountains for treasures. He would just wait at home without asking for any wages. He could just praise the dogs and pat their heads when they came back as payment. It would be so cool.

The two looked at Jiang Yue with envy as he collected the earth-turning dragon and continued on their way. Soon they walked out of the first hunting ground.

We climbed up another mountain, and the surrounding terrain gradually rose, and we could already see the edge of the cliff.

Near the edge of the cliff, there is a mountain temple. The area it covers is not small, but not large either. If you estimate carefully, it is about the same size as Jiang Yue's house.

Jiang Yue stood on the edge of the cliff holding a map, gesturing to the two of them: "We should be in the middle of this red line. If we look down from here, we can almost see this area. There is still space on the east and west sides, and there are two cliffs over there. Three people should be enough to patrol this red line area."

"So good."

Han Li said happily: "This way we can save a lot of walking. From the cliff we can determine whether there is anyone coming ahead."

"Yes."

Zhang Tie also smiled and said, "There is a mountain temple here. We can take a rest in the temple. It is not too tiring to guard it day and night. I remember that the mountain god of Funiushan is gone."

"Well, the mountain god of Funiushan is that old fox, right? He joined the Beast God Cult and was killed by Lord Xu Chong himself."

"Then it won't be a taboo, the mountain temple can be used."

"That's great." Several people chatted with each other and walked towards the mountain temple, ready to see what was going on in the temple and take a rest for a while.

However, when he was less than a hundred steps away from the mountain god temple, Xiaotian suddenly barked wildly at the temple.

"There's something in the temple!"

Jiang Yue reacted extremely quickly. He stepped back instantly and shot three arrows at the temple gate with his bow.

Zhang Tie and Han Li reacted quickly as well. They both held long swords and slashed at the door, surging blood and energy were stimulated.

roar-

A hunchbacked and crawling humanoid monster rushed out from the temple gate, and was hit by the black armor arrow that Jiang Yue had predicted and shot. It was immediately pierced through the chest and its body paused.

Immediately afterwards, he was hit by two more swords from Zhang Tie and Han Li, and was cut into four pieces.

The debris that fell to the ground was still roaring ferociously, twisting and crawling constantly, as if trying to kill Jiang Yue.

"This is a ghost!"

Han Li said hurriedly: "The ghost is refined into a demon tiger. Its head must be destroyed before it can be killed. Otherwise, even if it is chopped into pieces, its head will bite people."

"It's actually a ghost!"

Zhang Tie suddenly realized what was going on, and swung his sword again, crushing the evil spirit's head into pieces with a surge of blood and energy.

"There might be more inside, be careful."

Zhang Tie said in a deep voice, holding a long sword to lead the way, letting Jiang Yue and Han Li follow behind him.

Three people entered the mountain temple with weapons in hand.

A foul odor emanated from the temple. There were seven or eight female corpses hanging from the beams. All of them had their stomachs ripped open and their internal organs removed. The broken fox statue had been thrown aside.

The three of them looked around and found that there were no other ghosts, so they breathed a sigh of relief.

"This female corpse is the daughter of the Lin family, and this one seems to be the seventh concubine of the Lin family."

Jiang Yue made a distinction.

The Lin family is the most powerful family in the local area. Every time the head of the Lin family marries a concubine, a grand celebration will be held. Those who wait on the way to the wedding will receive food and rewards, so Jiang Yue has met the seventh concubine once.

As for Miss Lin, she is beautiful but domineering and very playful. She opened a gambling house in the town, and almost everyone in the town has seen Miss Lin.

That's why Jiang Yue recognized it.

"Are these two from the Lin family?"

Han Li said with a sigh, "Then this must be the ghost that killed Sun Yayi. I didn't expect it was created by a pervert. The corpses it collected are all female corpses."

"Are you going to bury these female corpses?"

Jiang Yue asked in a deep voice, holding a three-pointed, double-edged sword.

"Not urgent."

Zhang Tie took out the patrol token and explained: "Everyone, take out your tokens, record the scene here, and report it. Otherwise, no one will recognize our achievements."

"This token has a Shinto decree on it. All you need to do is pour your blood into it, say "take a picture", and take the photo."

After saying this, Zhang Tie's blood boiled and poured into the token. He let out a sigh and left his image.

hum-

The token projected a circle of light, which gradually spread out, about fifty meters, forming a circle of light with a radius of fifty meters around Zhang Tie.

"Everything involved will be recorded by the token and reported to our immediate superior."

Zhang Tie said: "You all should follow the process. Everything you say can be recorded."

"it is good!"

Jiang Yue and Han Li also activated their tokens to record everything that happened.

Zhang Tie continued, "Three patrol flag officers, Zhang Tie, Jiang Yue, and Han Li, were patrolling around the red line. They found a ghost in the mountain temple, as well as eight female corpses. Two of them have been identified so far. They are Miss Lin and the seventh concubine of the Lin family. Judging from the clothes worn by the other female corpses, they seem to be villagers from the surrounding villages."

After saying this, Zhang Tie collected his Qi and blood, and the halo gradually disappeared. Seeing this, Han Li and Jiang Yue did the same.

"I'm lucky. I've completed the first mission."

Zhang Tie was relieved and said with a smile: "After that, all we have to do is patrol the forest and report any Beast God Cult sightings immediately. If we want to report, we can use the image capture decree or the voice transmission decree. But if we use the voice transmission decree, you need to specify the target of the message. If we want to send the message, just shout out the name."

"So, what's the name of our immediate boss?"

Jiang Yue asked.

"Our immediate superior, the person in charge of the Beast God Cult incident, is named Yuan Gang, and is your third senior brother, Brother Jiang."

Zhang Tie's tone was filled with envy.

"I see."

Jiang Yue widened his eyes.

No wonder he was selected directly. It turned out that his senior brother was the one who was in charge of the Beast God Cult’s attack.

"Okay, we've almost finished our investigation. Let's go back and explain this to Brother Yue and discuss how to arrange our shifts. After all, we don't practice Shinto, so even though we don't have much sleep, we still need it."

"Master Zhang is absolutely right."

After a discussion, the few of them took down all the female corpses hanging in the temple, carried them to the foot of the cliff and buried them. After that, they simply cleaned up the interior of the temple and set off back to Qingyang Town.
-
As the New Year approaches, Qingyang Town is filled with joy everywhere.

The wooden houses on both sides of the street were hung with red lanterns, like a string of warm flames.

Brand new Spring Festival couplets have been posted on some people’s doorsteps, and the big black characters are shining in the sun.

The adults were busy preparing New Year's goods, and the eaves were filled with pickled meat. People who could live in the town would not be short of meat, after all, it was close to the Funiu Mountains.

The market was crowded with people and the sounds of shouting could be heard one after another.

Many opera troupes have already come to Qingyang Town and set up a stage. Although there have been no performances yet, many children are already playing under the stage.

When Jiang Yue and his companions returned to Qingyang Town and saw this scene, the nausea brought by the eight female corpses subsided a lot.

"Only during the Chinese New Year will people be so happy."

Zhang Tie said with emotion: "No matter what the day is like, we still have to celebrate the New Year properly."

"Yes."

Jiang Yue nodded in agreement.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter how difficult life was, my family would always take out the best things during the Chinese New Year to end the hard work of the year.

"Fortunately, the accomplice has been killed. Otherwise, with so many people gathered, if something happened, it would be a big deal."

The fat boy Han Li laughed, his tone full of lightness.

Hearing this, Jiang Yue shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There may not be only one ghost henchman. Tiger Vanguard died in Black Wind Village before. There must be someone in the Beast God Cult who is close to Tiger Vanguard. This ghost henchman may have been sent by him. There is a high probability that there are multiple ghost henchmen."

"Sixth Master is right."

Zhang Tie nodded in agreement. "This is a matter related to promotion, we cannot be careless. We need to be cautious to prevent any unexpected incidents. We still have to leave one person in Qingyang Town to defend it. If there are any minions, we can deal with them."

Seeing this, Han Li nodded in approval.

The three of them walked through the busy streets and headed towards Luo's Inn, where Yue Jiuhua had been waiting for them for a long time.
