Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 151 Shocking the Heavenly Being

Chapter 151 Shocking the Heavenly Being
"The so-called Peacock King is actually the descendant of Peacock God, one of the Beast Gods of the Beast God Cult."

Shen Xuan explained to Jiang Yue: "He was only at the seventh realm, and wanted to break through to become a king, but he was influenced by you and failed, and was directly killed by the master."

"A person with the strength of the seventh realm was killed by Master?"

Jiang Yue widened his eyes.

Master Xu Chong, could he kill a master of the Seventh Realm? Moreover, the Seventh Realm was already a step up, and was considered a powerful person of the Marquis level, yet he was killed by Master.

"Master has always been very strong, don't you know?"

Shen Xuan blinked, very confused.

"do not know."

Jiang Yue shook his head: "I thought Master was just an ordinary warrior."

"Haha, Master is very strong. He used to be the instructor of the Imperial Guards in Kyoto and also a high-ranking official. Later, I don't know why he returned to his hometown."

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "I was picked up by Master in Leizhou when he returned home. If it weren't for Master, I might not have lived past the age of six."

"I see."

Jiang Yue nodded and asked with a smile: "Let's continue. Is there any other realm of cultivation above the level of immortals and gods?"

"Of course there is."

Shen Xuan shrugged: "Who knows how far one can cultivate? The realm of immortals and gods is beyond our ability to guess."

"Ah."

Jiang Yue drank the wine in the cup and said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Senior Brother. I really don't know much about these."

"Haha, it's mainly because your strength is improving too fast."

Shen Xuan smiled and said, "After all, you haven't been in the martial arts world for long, so this is normal. If you have time, you can go to the White Deer Academy to read more classics. That is Mr. Hu's lifetime collection of books. There are many books about the affairs of the world, ghost stories, and demons. Mr. Hu and our master are good friends, so he should let you read them. We were forced to read them when we were young."

"Okay, I'll make up for it in the next few days."

Jiang Yue nodded.

He attached great importance to this, just like before the bandit suppression, the old one-armed man explained to him the martial arts and killing methods of various schools, so he was able to have an understanding of the major forces in Qing County.

And now, he needs to have a general understanding of the Great Zhou, this world, and this heaven and earth.

After the three brothers finished their meal, they parted ways. Shen Xuan went to watch a play and listen to music, while Hu Yunlong returned to the Qimen General Store.

As for Jiang Yue, although he had just eaten, he still planned to go home for dinner.

There are now five furnaces erupting in his body, and the food he eats is almost instantly converted into qi and blood. His appetite can be said to be very large. Only those precious medicines or the corpses of demons can allow him to digest for a while.

This is also the special feature of Jiang Yue. If he opens the Life Spring and achieves the third realm, the Life Spring will connect heaven and earth and absorb the essence of the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon all the time, and his strength will increase faster.

"The path of cultivation begins with the butterfly effect from the moment you open the Life Spring. The deeper your foundation, the stronger your future combat power will be."

Jiang Yue felt emotional.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Jiang Yue returned to the Jiang Mansion again. The old one-armed man had left, and Silang was helping his grandfather cook.

There were already a lot of fragrant meat dishes on the main table.

"The last dish, Qingjiang salmon, ok."

Grandpa Jiang Cong shouted and came out from the kitchen carrying a large plate. On it was a delicious big salmon covered with rich soup, which made people's mouths water at the sight.

"Hey, grandpa, how come you can cook so many dishes?"

Jiang Yue said in surprise.

"Hahaha, grandpa learned this specifically for this."

Jiang Cong wiped his hands and explained, "The chef of Fuchunlou knew that I was your grandfather, so he taught me a few tricks. Grandpa also thought it was very interesting and has been studying it for the past few months."

"That's a good thing. It's something to do."

Jiang Yue smiled, and after Grandpa and Silang sat down, he immediately picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

The food grandpa cooked was delicious, but Jiang Yue didn’t eat much. He just tasted a little and basically left it all for grandpa and Silang.

After dinner, Jiang Yue simply taught Silang how to practice.

Jiang Yue still has a lot of experience in alchemy. After all, he has spent countless time on alchemy. The realms of Black Iron Post and Tiger Post are extremely deep, and he can be called a master.

Jiang Yue shared all his experiences and taught Silang with all his heart.

"Silang, the so-called standing posture is not only about the form, but also about the spirit. If you have the spirit, you will reach the limit much faster, and your practice will be twice as effective with half the effort."

Jiang Yue said in a deep voice.

The stance that Silang practiced was called the Black Eagle Stance. Although Jiang Yue had never learned it before, he had some skills and had raised goshawks before. After watching it for a while, he almost understood the mystery of the Hangu Stance. He explained it to Silang while standing in the stance.

Although he had just learned this stance, when Jiang Yue stood up he looked like an old master who had practiced this stance for many years, with a unique demeanor and charm.

"Second brother, you are awesome."

Silang's eyes were full of admiration. He didn't expect that his second brother could learn this stance just by watching it for a moment. Moreover, his stance was much more standard than his own, and there was an inexplicable charm to it.

"Take your time. You can do it too."

Jiang Yue smiled.

Silang continued to stand in the stance, concentrating fully, while Jiang Yue smiled and gave instructions from the side. The sun shone into the courtyard, bringing peace and tranquility.

Jiang Yue likes this feeling very much, it is very peaceful.

In the blink of an eye it was almost dusk.

Grandpa Jiang Cong prepared another sumptuous meal. After the two brothers finished eating, they cut some meat to feed the hawks and dogs, while grandpa went to comb the hair of the white dragon horse.

It can be seen that Grandpa Jiang Cong likes these little things very much.

[Life Essence +20]

[Life Essence +20]

【.】

[Life Essence: 982]

Seeing the reminder sound of the life essence coming, Jiang Yue couldn't help but feel helpless.

It’s almost time to reach one thousand life essences, but it’s still too far from bloodline evolution.

Of course, this was mainly because he wanted to break into the third realm, and the amount of resources required for the Nine Revolutions Furnace Sutra was too great. Otherwise, the corpses of the shrimp soldiers in the water palace of the nine counties alone would definitely be enough to make the life essence reach tens of thousands.

Everything will be fine once the Fountain of Life is opened.

"Everything still depends on strength."

Jiang Yue pondered in his heart.

If one is not strong enough, many things cannot be done, just like in the Nine Counties, if he is not strong enough, he can only watch Kang Yuan do evil and watch several major families slaughter the people in search of the so-called Dragon Binding Rope.

But if you are strong enough, you can suppress these evil people, or even kill them, control the floods, and let the people live in peace and enjoy the good fortune of incense.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue opened his panel and looked at the Shinto practice column.

Not only was it incredible to see, but it was also shocking to see.

【Incense Willing Power: 520】

Jiang Yue was extremely shocked.

In just one day, the power of his incense sticks increased from twenty to five hundred and twenty. This sudden surge left Jiang Yue confused.

Because the power of incense and vows rarely increases suddenly, they are all long-standing and slowly increase. "I don't know what happened in the nine counties."

Jiang Yue was confused.

Perhaps it was because the Yu family troupe had performed a new play that was widely circulated, which led to a surge in his support and prayers?
What Jiang Yue didn't know was that on the shore of Yuqing Lake in the Yuqing Nine Counties, Lu Yang had ordered people to build a monument to the merits of the people, recording the achievements and contributions Jiang Yue had made to the nine counties, and countless people had left their names.

The common people in the nine counties, all the fishermen and farmers who benefited from Jiang Yue's achievements, provided Jiang Yue with a steady stream of incense and vows. Of course, part of this was also given to Yuan Qinghuan, Lu Yang and others.

This is not the people's wish, but the judgment of God.

God knows what you did.
-
The next morning, Jiang Yue washed up, put on a black shirt, and went to Bailu Academy.

It is now March, the grass is green and the birds are singing. There is still more than a month before the examination. Many students are walking out of the paths and corridors of Bailu Academy, holding books.

There were also quite a few people gathered together debating something.

Jiang Yue was not stopped when entering the academy. He went straight into the academy and looked at these students with great curiosity.

He knew very little about Shinto practice.

According to Fourth Senior Brother Shen Xuan, the great Zhou's golden mountain of luck has collapsed, and it is no longer possible to appoint officials to use the country's luck as before.

Before the collapse of Jinshan, Kaowentang was considered the right path. If you passed the exam, you would have strength. As your official position was promoted, your strength would become stronger and stronger. However, the strength was under the control of the court. If your official position was demoted, all your strength would be gone, just like those righteous gods canonized by the Great Zhou.

Of course, one can actually improve one's own strength with the help of luck, and the speed will be very fast, so the examiner will benefit from it without any harm.

It is the same with Kaowentang now. Although he is no longer blessed by the national fortune, at least he can govern a region and gain support from the people, which is of great help to his practice.

Jiang Yue had an extraordinary aura and a dignified look as he strode through the academy, quickly attracting a lot of people's attention.

"Sir, are you a student of the academy?"

Suddenly, some students stopped Jiang Yue. They were the group of students who were debating. They had young faces, both male and female, about 30 to 40 people, who were debating in a lecture hall. They had been arguing for a long time but could not come to a conclusion.

Some of them saw that Jiang Yue was not an ordinary person, so they came over to stop him and ask him questions.

"Oh?"

Jiang Yue was very kind to others. He smiled gently and replied, "I am Jiang Yue, not a student of the academy, but an official of the Patrol of the Astronomy Department."

"Wow—a patrol officer?"

The students were all surprised.

For these students who studied in academies and had never seen the world, the mountain patrol officer was already a very lofty and majestic position in their hearts.

Jiang Yue, in particular, was tall, heroic, had a handsome face, and an extraordinary bearing, which added to his majesty.

"It turned out to be Senior Jiang."

A male student said respectfully, "Senior, we are discussing a proposition. After arguing for a long time, no one can convince the other. Seeing that you have an extraordinary demeanor, I stopped to ask for your advice."

"Oh? What's the proposition?"

Jiang Yue became interested.

"It's from me."

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind the crowd. The students were extremely surprised and made way for it.

"This is Mr. Hu Da!"

"It's Mr. Hu."

"Mr. Hu is here!"

The students were extremely surprised. Mr. Hu, wearing a black and white robe and with flowing white hair, strode out from the crowd with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Hu."

Jiang Yue bowed and greeted him respectfully.

"Hahahaha, Captain Jiang is in charge of Zhou Yuan Prefecture and cares about the people. I cannot tolerate such courtesy."

Mr. Hu laughed and quickly picked up Jiang Yue.

"Senior, please don't tease me."

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

"Come, come, sit down and tell me in detail."

Mr. Hu led Jiang Yue to the lecture hall with a bright smile on his face.

The students around them listened to the conversation between the two with their eyes widened. They clearly heard the words of the captain, who was in charge of an entire prefecture.

This kind of great man is beyond the students' imagination.

Jiang Yue and Mr. Hu sat opposite each other, surrounded by students. There was also a steady stream of students who came after hearing the news and watched curiously.

"The question is, is human nature good or evil?"

Mr. Hu poured Jiang Yue a cup of tea and looked at him with a smile: "I have been asking this question for three months, and no one in the academy has been able to answer it to my satisfaction. I have heard about Captain Jiang's meritorious service in the nine counties, so I would like to hear how Captain Jiang would answer it."

Hearing this, the students all looked at Jiang Yue.

The students all had their own opinions on the proposition of whether human nature is good or evil, but after the debate Mr. Hu was not very satisfied.

“Human nature is good, and human nature is evil.”

Jiang Yue shook his head, took a sip of the tea in the cup, and bowed his hands, saying, "I'll just express my humble opinion. Mr. Hu, please don't laugh at me."

"Just say it."

Mr. Hu laughed heartily, quite heroically.

Jiang Yue said: "Human nature is neither good nor evil, everything is in our conscience."

"Conscience?"

Mr. Hu Da exclaimed, "But what people can do without learning is their innate ability, and what they know without thinking is their innate conscience?"

"Exactly."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "There is no good or evil in the heart, but there are good and evil intentions. Knowing good and evil is conscience, and doing good and getting rid of evil is the study of things. The original heart has no good or evil, but it has conscience. Use conscience to distinguish good and evil, explore your own heart, and study things to reach conscience."

"Oh?"

Mr. Hu's face was shocked. He looked at Jiang Yue with a little shock, and then fell into deep thought, thinking carefully.

The students around him were also lost in thought.

After a while, Mr. Hu let out a long breath, bowed to Jiang Yue and said, "These words all have the true meaning of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. I am grateful for your teaching."

"Ahem, Mr. Hu, what is this for?"

Jiang Yue quickly moved away.

He just combined his understanding of good and evil in his past life and his psychology to answer the question, but he didn't expect that it would shock Mr. Hu so much.

"If you don't have special experiences, you can't say these words."

Mr. Hu accepted the courtesy and said with a smile, "Captain Jiang has changed a lot since the last time he came, not only in strength, but also in thinking."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly, agreeing with what Mr. Hu said.

In this world, a unified dynasty has prospered for thousands of years, but it is only now beginning to collapse.

In previous lives, dynasties changed frequently and there were countless sparks of thought, which were much more profound than the Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism of this world.

The students around him had gloomy expressions and frowned brows, and they were lost in deep thought.
