Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 144 Treatment of Horizontal Disease
The next morning, the construction of canals in the nine counties began.

Those who participated in the construction included disaster victims, who joined the construction team because the government provided them with food. There were also many local fishermen who joined the construction team spontaneously.

There were also officials from the Water Department and the Agriculture Department. They practiced Taoism and knew magic. They were able to reinforce the canals and move heavy objects through decrees. The entire construction process was extremely fast.

The canal first leads to Yuqing Lake, because the lake eye under Yuqing Lake is connected to an underground river. All it takes is to refine the decree to dredge the lake and allow the floodwaters in the entire nine counties to be discharged into the underground river through the lake eye under Yuqing Lake.

The construction of the canal took seven days.

Afterwards, Yuan Qinghuan led all the water officials in the nine counties to refine talismans and decrees. It took another seven days to finally complete the decrees.

On this day, countless people gathered on the shore of Yuqing Lake. In the distance was a wide canal that connected the flood area of ​​Yuqing Lake, and there were already surging waves in it.

Jiang Yue was wearing an official robe, standing by the Yuqing Lake, holding a faint golden talisman in his hand.

It was just such a small talisman that took Yuan Qinghuan and all the water officials in the nine counties seven days and seven nights to refine.

"My lord, you go ahead."

Yuan Qinghuan smiled and said, "You only need to post this talisman at the eye of the lake, and I can activate it through magic to drain the flood. This talisman can be used for a hundred years, and later you only need to refine a new talisman decree to replace it."

"This talisman and decree can ensure that the nine counties will be free from water and soil problems for a hundred years. It is truly a great merit."

Jiang Yue smiled.

"My lord, without you, I would not be able to intimidate the gangsters of the Jianghu family and clear the monsters in the water."

Yuan Qinghuan smiled and urged softly, "Sir, go quickly. Countless people are watching you, waiting for this moment."

The disaster victims, fishermen, and residents of Yuqing County were all looking at Jiang Yue.

Among the crowd of people, the members of the Yu family watched the scene in front of them excitedly.

Next to them were all the civil officials from the nine counties, who came here to pay their respects!

The fifteen small flags had recovered from their injuries and had excited smiles on their faces. The constables and yamen runners behind them were all excited.

The wealthy families in each county were also invited to watch the ceremony. They looked at Jiang Yue with extremely obvious fear, and it was obvious that they knew how important what Jiang Yue had done was.

"We will post the talisman today to dredge the floodwaters. In the future, Yuqing Lake will be able to store water and release floodwaters, thus ensuring that the nine counties will be free of water and soil for a hundred years!"

Jiang Yue held a pale golden decree in his hand, and his voice was clear yet carried a hint of majesty.

After saying this, Jiang Yue activated the Silver Patrol Panther, jumped into the water with the decree in his hand, and created a splash.

puff-

The Silver Patrol Panther has the ability to block water, and combined with Jiang Yue's water control, it can prevent his official uniform from getting wet.

Jiang Yue dived rapidly into the water, and it took him about half an hour to find the eye of the lake from the bottom of the water.

The sunlight penetrated through the lake water and shone on the eye of the lake, looking very much like the underwater blue hole that Jiang Yue had seen on the Internet in his previous life.

pat-

Jiang Yue pressed the decree onto a huge rock under the water next to the lake eye, emitting golden rays of light. It stuck tightly and began to emit golden light.

After doing all this, Jiang Yue jumped back into the lake.

Jumping out of the water, people's eyes were focused on Jiang Yue.

"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Master Yuan, you can activate the decree now."

"it is good!"

Yuan Qinghuan was also a little excited. She was a girl who grew up in a noble family. Later, she went to academy to study and began to learn about the Water Administration. Later, she was admitted to Wentang and joined the Water Administration.

Everything went smoothly for her, with the support of her family, except for the Nine Counties, which she asked to come to on her own because she heard that the environment there was quite challenging and very bad, and it was a hot potato that no one wanted to take over.

And now, she only needs to issue an order, and the floods in the nine counties will flow out from the eye of the lake!

The nine counties have enjoyed peace and tranquility for a hundred years, all thanks to this one decree of hers!
sizzle-

There was a golden light flashing in Yuan Qinghuan's hands, and she was muttering something. Finally, a ray of golden light shot out from her fingertips and hit the lake.

There was a bright golden light in the lake.

hum-

The water began to flow down, forming a huge vortex. The flood in the canal began to flow and poured into Yuqing Lake.

The vortex was spinning, and a huge amount of water was injected into the bottom of the Yuqing Lake. Perhaps because of the law, the speed of the flood discharge was incredibly fast.

The flood waters in the nine counties began to subside at a speed visible to the naked eye. The trees that were covered by the flood waters began to reveal their original appearance, and fish and shrimps began to jump around.

After just one hour, the whirlpool on Yuqing Lake gradually disappeared, and no more flood water continued to flow into the canal.

The golden light dissipated and Yuqing Lake returned to calm.

Half of the nine counties were covered with vast ocean, exposing the originally flat ground. Many houses that were scattered by the flood lay scattered on the ground. Because of being soaked in water for a long time, the wood had begun to rot, and some other fungi were growing on them.

The fertile fields that were submerged by the flood have been exposed.

Such a miracle made the people in the nine counties couldn't help but cheer.

The flood has receded!
The victims shed tears of excitement, which meant that their home was back and they no longer had to be disaster victims and leave their homes!

【.】

【Incense Willing Power: 100】

The power of the incense and vows gradually increased, and soon reached one hundred points, and was still slowly increasing.

Jiang Yue turned his eyes away from the panel and said loudly: "In the nine counties, officials of the Wentang government office must obey my orders!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials in the Wentang stepped forward, gathered around Lu Yang, bowed, and waited for Jiang Yue to speak.

"Officials of the Wentang Administration Department should count the number of deaths, verify the identities of the victims, and ensure that no one embezzles the land previously owned by the people. They should also supervise the post-disaster reconstruction."

Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "If there are wealthy families here who want to swallow up the land and oppress the people, don't blame me for being rude."

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

Upon hearing this, all the officials in Wentang answered in unison.

As for those wealthy people, they all shuddered.

In fact, during major disasters, land annexation was extremely severe because the people could not afford to eat by farming, so they had to sell their land. But this time it was not so bad. The flood came too quickly and directly washed away everything. Even many wealthy families were flooded.

The Nine Counties is an area with abundant fertile fields and a developed fishery. It is one of the most prosperous regions in Huichun Prefecture. Now it is finally recovering its former glory.

"Martial Hall officials, continue to patrol the nine counties and screen for traces of demons. If you find traces of the three demons, Pig, Cow, and Dog, report it immediately."

Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "In addition, the officials of the Wu Hall will help the people rebuild their houses and strive to rebuild them within half a month so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

All the small flag officers, constables, and yamen runners knelt on one knee and received orders loudly.

The people in the martial arts hall worship Jiang Yue to the point of fanaticism.

"So good!"

"I want to see a completely different Yuqing Nine Counties in half a month!"
-
Huichun Prefecture, the capital.

Unlike the harsh conditions in the nine counties, the capital is full of vitality.

In the ancient city in early spring, the sun shines on the ancient streets and alleys, and young willow trees sprout from their branches.

Shops in the city are opening, and noise is gradually rising. People are coming and going in the morning market on the street, fresh fruits and vegetables are neatly displayed, smoke is rising, and the aroma of snacks is everywhere.

In the government hall of this prefectural capital, all the high-ranking officials from both the civil and military departments gathered here, looking at the letters in their hands with frowns on their brows.

The letter was written by Pei Hu, and its content was incredible to them.

The heads of the Wentang Political Department, the Water Department, and the Agriculture Department all had gloomy faces, and they wished they could tear up the letters in their hands.

The Demon Suppression Captain of the Demon Suppression Division also had a sullen look on his face.

Pei Hu sat aside, looking calm and relaxed, smoking a pipe.

"Snapped--"

The chief of the Wentang Administration Department was a gray-haired old man named Shen Yuanqing. He suddenly slammed the letter in his hand on the table, making a loud bang.

"Pei Hu!"

Shen Yuanqing said angrily: "What kind of bullshit is written in this letter? Do you think we are all eight-year-old children?"

"Old Pei, you passed this time."

Qi Yunhai, the Demon Suppression Captain of the Demon Suppression Division, was a middle-aged martial artist. He said helplessly, "Everyone knows about the situation in the Nine Counties. The news about the Dragon Binding Rope has spread. All the major forces in Huichun Prefecture have sent people there. If it weren't for the fact that Huichun Jiang Nielong has mobilized the Fifth Realm masters from various sects and families, this group of Fifth Realm masters would have gone to the Nine Counties to cause trouble."

"Yes."

The head of the Water Department, Shu Yuanheng's immediate superior, was a shrewd, tall, thin old man. He said angrily:
"Pei Hu, the nine counties are full of demons, martial artists, noble families, the Beast God Cult, and floods. It's such a serious situation. You report to us now that the demons in the nine counties have been eliminated, the floods have been quelled, the victims have been properly resettled, the fertile fields have been restored, and the canals have ensured a hundred years of water and soil safety. It's only been two months since Jiang Yue, your subordinate, took office."

"Pei Hu, I understand your desire to support your new recruit. Jiang Yue is indeed a rare talent with a righteous heart and a clean background. But you falsely reported your achievements, which is not right. Not to mention that he managed to pacify the nine counties in two months, it is already a great skill for him to hold on and not let you go to support him."

The tall and thin old man who was the head of the Water Bureau curled his lips, thinking that Pei Hu was going a bit too far.

"Hahaha--"

Pei Hu laughed loudly: "I just want to see your expressions, hahahaha——"

"Pei Hu! What are you laughing at!"

The Demon Suppression Captain of the Demon Suppression Division rolled his eyes and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it all in one breath."

"it is good!"

Pei Hu smiled and threw out a copied file and placed it in front of the people.

Several people hurriedly looked at the file.

"In January of the twenty-fifth year of Yongjia, the head of the Nine Counties, the chief patrol officer Jiang Yue, killed Qing Jiu, the Jade-faced Fox of the Beast God Cult."

"In the same month, a massacre of civilians was uncovered, and the criminals Kang Yuan, Yue Heng, Kang Yuzhu, and Wang Ming were beheaded."
