Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 147 Promotion to Captain
[Year One: You begin to practice the Treasure Mirror of Mountains and Rivers, visualizing the images of mountains, rivers, and the earth.

The power of incense and vows is slowly injected into your body. You begin to consume the power of incense and vows, speeding up your practice.

【.】

[Fifth year: You have understood the connotation of the Treasure Mirror of Mountains and Rivers.

The so-called Shinto practice is to cultivate the heart, the soul, the will and the soul in the dark, not the body, which is very novel to you. 】

【.】

[Fiftieth Year: You have practiced the Treasure Mirror of Mountains and Rivers for fifty years, and you are now able to clearly visualize famous mountains and rivers, and the vast universe.

You are surprised to find that there is a glimmer of inspiration in your mind, but this glimmer of inspiration is only small and very weak.

The so-called Shinto practice is to continuously strengthen this spiritual light, so that its quality and quantity can leap forward. 】

【.】

[The first hundred years: You have consumed a large amount of incense and vows, and the spiritual light in your mind has expanded to the size of a cup.

You find that you can mobilize the power in this cup to construct various rune decrees, but you have not learned it systematically, so you can only construct the decrees roughly and clumsily, and they have no effect.

In the past hundred years, you have already figured out the basics of Shinto practice by yourself with the help of a visualization method. 】

[End of deduction]

[Mountain and River Treasure lv1→Mountain and River Treasure lv2]

After the deduction was over, Jiang Yue slowly woke up with a strange look in his eyes.

The experience of this practice was different from all the previous ones. He visualized the Treasure Mirror of Mountains and Rivers, and it was as if his soul was wandering in the air and he was seeing countless famous mountains and rivers.

A sense of pride arises in my heart.

"call--"

Jiang Yue let out a long breath and felt very energetic.

With a little visualization, you can see a cup-sized spiritual light in your mind, flickering with a faint light.

This spiritual light is like qi and blood. It is stimulated according to the strength of the soul, or the spirit, consciousness, and will. Laws and spells can be cast through the spiritual light.

As for the realm division, it is the same as that of warriors, also divided into the initial realm, the second realm, and the third realm.

However, the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror can only be cultivated to the second level.

The so-called initial stage is to continuously strengthen the spiritual light and change the amount of spiritual light, from the initial wisp to a lamp, then to a pool, then to a river, and then to the sea.

After reaching a massive amount of spiritual light, one can be promoted to the second realm.

As for what to cultivate in the second realm, Jiang Yue had no idea.

However, according to Jiang Yue's inference, Shinto monks mainly cultivate the soul and have great magical powers. Their spiritual light has many wonderful uses, such as traveling during the day and at night, holding the world in their sleeves, shrinking the earth into an inch, and even controlling the heavens and the earth. In theory, all of these can be achieved through spiritual light, but this requires a large amount of high-quality spiritual light, which his current small cup cannot do at all.

"By the way, let's see how much incense and vows have been consumed."

Jiang Yue looked at the panel again.

On the panel, only twenty out of the one hundred and twenty incense sticks and vows were left.

In a hundred years, one cup consumed a hundred incense sticks and vows, which shows that the consumption is relatively fast.

Let’s not talk about anything else, even if we build a pond, how many cups can it hold? How many hundred incense sticks and wishes would it take?
This was something Jiang Yue didn't dare to think about.

However, the pressure from the power of incense and vows is not that great, mainly because the source of the power of incense and vows is long-term, and one needs to govern an area and harvest the power of incense and vows continuously, rather than harvesting a lot at once like time.

Just like now, Jiang Yue can gain some points of incense and vows every day. This is provided based on what he has done before. People spread the word by word of mouth, benefit from it, and remember Jiang Yue's kindness, so the incense and vows will naturally not stop.

After accumulating for a year, there must be at least several thousand incense sticks and vows.

It seems that there are actually quite a few.

After strengthening the Divine Way, Jiang Yue still had 620 years left. He thought about it and decided not to devote all of it to the Divine Way. Instead, he kept it for the time being and waited to break through the second level of the Life Spring in one breath.

There are only ten shrimp soldier corpses left, which are in a very awkward position. One or two more might be enough.

"Forget it, let's go listen to the music."

Jiang Yue shook his head, the panel in his field of vision gradually disappeared, and he stood up and took Xiaotian to listen to music.

As for Xuntian, he seemed to be in heat now. He hung out with the goshawks of the Xuntian Department all day long and had hooked up with several female eagles. Jiang Yue was too lazy to care about him and just left him alone.

After all, Xuntian is a growing eagle, so it is normal for him to have such emotions.

Xiaotian, on the other hand, was as cold to the little bitch as a gentleman dog, which made Jiang Yue feel very strange. After all, it was the first time that Jiang Yue saw a dog remain calm when a woman sat on his lap.

"Hum hum--"

Humming a little tune, Jiang Yue left the classroom and went to listen to music.

There were no brothels or anything like that in Yuqing County, so Jiang Yue just went there to listen to the Yu Family Troupe perform.
-
Three days passed in a flash.

One day, Jiang Yue was searching for traces of demons from the Siti Peak, but he received a message from the mountain patrol token saying that officials from Yunzhou had arrived, so Jiang Yue hurried back to the county.

The one who came this time was Inspector Liu, who had traveled through nine counties with Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue didn't know his specific official position, but he could feel that he was very powerful and probably had considerable authority in the state's Wentang.

Inspector Liu was very happy to see Jiang Yue.

"General Jiang, congratulations!"

Inspector Liu laughed.

"Haha, Inspector Liu, don't keep us in suspense. What are the arrangements in the state?"

Jiang Yue sat down opposite Inspector Liu and asked with a smile.

Next to the two of them were Yuan Qinghuan and Lu Yang officials, who were all listening curiously and wanted to know to what extent Jiang Yue would be promoted.

"It's like this." Inspector Liu cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "General Jiang Yue has made great contributions and has outstanding strength. He has been promoted to the patrol captain of Langdang Mountain. He is fully responsible for all matters in the five counties around Langdang Mountain and takes orders from Tang He, the commander of the Patrol Department."

"What? Wandering Hill?"

Before Jiang Yue could even react with surprise, Yuan Qinghuan exclaimed in surprise, extremely shocked. The other officials also looked a little unnatural.

There is no doubt that Jiang Yue was given another tough task.

“It turns out to be Wandering Mountain.”

Jiang Yue spread his hands helplessly, looked at Inspector Liu, and said with a smile: "Now I understand what the Patrol Department meant by not having enough manpower. We'll just keep using whoever we can."

Qianli Langdang Mountain is located in Zhou Yuan Prefecture. It is no exaggeration to say that it is full of monsters. It is also a place where the Beast God Cult is very active. Not only that, Huichun River also passes through Langdang Mountain, and there are countless monsters in the water.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Inspector Liu couldn't help but laugh: "Captain Jiang, this just shows that you are extremely capable. No one else can compare to you. That's why these complicated areas are assigned to you. The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. Only by entrusting you with important tasks and making you rise to prominence can you win the support of the people."

"Well, this is actually a test for you. The better you do, the greater your potential will be."

Inspector Liu patted Jiang Yue on the shoulder and said with emotion: "With a resume like yours, once you have the strength, your promotion will be like a rocket. It won't take long for you to catch the emperor's eye, and then you can do more things."

"I know."

Jiang Yue cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Jiang Yue obeys the order!"

"it is good!"

Inspector Liu nodded in satisfaction, then took out a scroll and handed it to Jiang Yue, saying in a deep voice: "This is about the situation of Langdang Mountain. You can take a look at it yourself. It's just a rough overview. After all, the situation around Langdang Mountain is complicated and extremely important. To be honest, if it weren't for the lack of manpower, it might not be your turn. After all, it is too important. We have also taken a lot of risks in handing Langdang Mountain to you. If you don't do well, we will all be punished and pay a huge price."

"Let me consider."

Jiang Yue took the scroll, opened it, and read it carefully. The more he read, the more his brows furrowed. Finally, he let out a long sigh, feeling deeply pressured.

The situations in Zhouyuan Prefecture and the nine counties are completely different.

Zhou Yuan Prefecture has a total of five counties, located around Langdang Mountain. There are demons everywhere, water beasts are rampant, and there are a large number of wanted demons. Let’s not talk about these for now. The main thing is that the landform of Langdang Mountain is peculiar and quite strange, which can affect people’s minds.

Just like there is a Kudai County around Kudai Ridge in Langdang Mountain, where prostitution is rampant. Even Shinto monks will be affected when they go there and can't help but give in to their lust and untie their belts. Or maybe it's Haisai'ao and the surrounding Haisai County, where everyone is a reckless eater.

Such a peculiar place will naturally produce peculiar sects and families, and will become a place where cults flourish.

The people are even more ignorant and cannot distinguish between good and evil.

Simply put, the people in the nine counties know that if you treat them well, they will be grateful if they can afford to eat, but the people in Zhou Yuan Prefecture are different.

For example, the people in Kudai County next to Kudai worked, farmed, and hunted just to have some fun in the county brothels. Even if they died, they would rather die in a woman's bed. If they were not allowed to touch women, they would not be able to eat even if they were full.

But what is even more peculiar is that Langdang Mountain is rich in resources, the noble families are prosperous, the martial artists are even more powerful, demons are everywhere, but the place is prosperous, money is everywhere, and people live a life of luxury.

The demons will also be affected by Wandering Mountain, and eating people or improving their strength are no longer their top priorities.

If demons come to Kudai County, they still cannot control their belts and will frantically look for women to have affairs with. The powerful ones, who can defeat the noble families or martial arts masters in the county, will abduct some women and take them to the mountains to do things. The less powerful ones will do hard labor in the county, or even open a martial arts business to teach martial arts and make money.

"This Zhou Yuan Mansion is really outrageous."

Jiang Yue collected the scroll, looked at Inspector Liu, and asked, "What should I do when I go to Zhou Yuan Mansion? What does it take to manage it well?"

"What do you think?"

Inspector Liu asked back with a smile.

"Um"

Jiang Yue smiled bitterly and said, "If you want the people to return to normal, you have to find out why there are so many mysteries in Langdang Mountain. I'm afraid I can't do that."

"you can."

Inspector Liu smiled and said, "You can deal with the Demon Saint's Eyeball, and you can deal with Langdang Mountain as well. As for Langdang Mountain, let me tell you the truth. At the beginning of the dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty Emperor joined forces with Taoist masters to kill a demon monk in Langdang Mountain. After the demon monk died, his body shattered and fell into Langdang Mountain. All these supernatural phenomena are the influence of the demon monk's corpse."

"Oh? This evil monk is a human?"

Jiang Yue asked.

"No, it is a person, but also not a person."

Liu Xuncha said: "The demon monk is one of the beast gods worshipped by the so-called Beast God Religion. He created evil magic and absorbed a lot of demon essence. He looks like a human but not a human. That's why there are so many strange and terrifying things in Langdang Mountain."

"One of the Beast Gods of the Beast God Cult?"

Jiang Yue was horrified.

"Well, it's the place where the Beast God fell. So, you understand its value."

Inspector Liu smiled.

“It really has a lot of value.”

Jiang Yue shrugged and said with a smile: "Is it too late for me to not accept the transfer now?"

"That's too late."

Patrolman Liu took out a patrol token, stuffed it into Jiang Yue's hand, and said with a smile: "Of course, the higher-ups definitely don't ask you to manage this place well. After all, this is something that has not been done for generations. Your mission is only one, do not allow any members of the Beast God Cult to enter Wandering Mountain. You can let them go, but once they leave, they will not be allowed to enter again."

"Not allowed to enter Wandering Mountain?"

Jiang Yue raised his eyebrows.

"Well, I can't tell you much about the extermination of the Beast God Cult. You can contact the patrol leader Tang He yourself."

Inspector Liu continued, "Of course, it doesn't matter if we can't stop it. We can save our lives as much as possible. It doesn't matter. If we can stop it, we will be rewarded. If we can't stop it, we won't be punished. In fact, as long as we can delay it, it will be rewarded."

"If you really have the ability to eliminate the influence of Langdang Mountain on people's minds and manage this place well, then it will really attract the attention of the emperor and go straight to the Kyoto Martial Temple."

Inspector Liu sighed.
