Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 157 Eyes between eyebrows
The sounds of chirping birds were heard all around, and Jiang Yue looked around and saw a mountain range.

"It's just you."

Jiang Yue chose the woman who said she was from an opera troupe, because Jiang Yue was familiar with the Yu family troupe and had some knowledge about the troupe.

"Okay~ Xiwen, follow this gentleman upstairs."

The madam smiled and said, "Room No. 1 on the sixth floor is still vacant, let's go there."

"Okay, sir, please follow me."

The woman named Xiwen laughed softly and walked in front of Jiang Yue with her graceful figure, bringing up a gust of fragrant wind accompanied by bursts of medicinal aroma, which made people feel charming.

Jiang Yue went straight to the sixth floor and was led by Xiwen into the yellow room No. 1. He was completely stunned.

Inside the private room number one with the yellow letter "Yellow", the layout was all red, with gauze curtains, which was extremely tempting. There was also a large wooden barrel in the middle, which was big enough for three or five people to bathe in.

"Master, shall we drink the medicine or take a medicinal bath together?"

Xiwen chuckled, with undisguised lust in his eyes.

"What's the difference?"

Jiang Yue asked with a frown.

"Cuckoo-"

Xi Wen covered his face and chuckled, "I almost forgot that this is your first time here, Master Jiang. If you drink the medicine, then the experience will naturally be worse. But if we take a medicinal bath together, all the pores of the body will open up and absorb the medicinal power. This bathtub is very spacious, and you and I can enjoy the pleasure of love and water together. The medicinal power will enter through the pores, and the whole body will feel numb and refreshing, and you will feel like you are floating in the air."

Just listening to his narration, I felt hot all over.

If someone with a weak mind, he would have started it now, but Jiang Yue had spent thousands of years in solitude seeking the truth and practicing, so this temptation was nothing to him.

He just wanted to try out what this so-called Shen Yao County decoction was.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Master——"

"Your medicine is here!"

A maid knocked on the door and came in carrying a big pot. This big pot looked like the double-flavored hotpot that Jiang Yue had eaten in his previous life, divided into two halves, but the two halves contained the same soup.

"Master, if you want a medicinal bath, just pour it in."

Xiwen chuckled.

"no need."

Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "Let me taste the medicine, you can sing it to me first."

"Master, can I sing along?"

Xiwen swallowed his saliva, feeling extremely hungry and thirsty.

"it is good."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly, not caring about it. He picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful, then sat in the chair and tasted it carefully.

As for Xiwen, she held a spoon in one hand and danced gracefully. The sound of opera melody rang out at the same time. The medicine in the spoon was swallowed by Xiwen through dancing, which was quite beautiful.

While listening to the music, Jiang Yue carefully savored the medicine he had swallowed.

He had tasted hundreds of herbs in the mountains and was immune to toxins. When the medicine entered his mouth, he could basically taste most of its ingredients.

The strange thing is that there is nothing strange about the medicine in the stomach, and the medicinal materials are all common ones, only the herb Astragalus membranaceus is relatively rare.

Apart from this, no additional ingredients were added to the soup.

But there was an addictive feeling. After Jiang Yue drank a spoonful of the medicine, he couldn't stop and couldn't help wanting to drink a few more sips.

"This is weird. What on earth causes this medicine to have such properties?"

Jiang Yue stroked his chin and frowned in thought.

Where did the addictive effect come from? Was it really like the rumors said, that it was caused by the residual power of the evil monk's corpse?

It's really strange and I don't understand it.

Jiang Yue resisted the urge to have another sip, and listened to the opera with full concentration, putting aside all distracting thoughts.

This feeling is very strange.

Restraining one's own desires is actually a form of practice.

“Perhaps this is what Master means by cultivating the mind?”

Jiang Yue carefully recalled the message his master had given him and felt that this was what his master meant. He came to Zhou Yuan Mansion to restrain his desires.

If you can control yourself, you will surely gain something. If you can't control yourself, you will become a slave to desire.

Jiang Yue watched the beautiful woman singing and dancing in front of him, and sat there quietly, resisting the urge brought by the medicine.

What surprised Jiang Yue was that the medicine was so addictive that he felt a tingling sensation in his heart and had a strong urge to take another sip.

"It seems that the reason why I didn't feel anything when I smelled the fragrance of the medicine before was simply because the medicine wasn't strong enough. I guess the better the medicine, the more addictive it will be, and the greater the relief from the drug addiction will be."

Jiang Yue thought about it and simply focused all his attention on the play.

He has a gift of clear mind and can easily focus on one thing with full concentration, so it is very easy for him to use the method of attention diversion.

"The Yellow Wind Ridge is plagued by rats."

Xiwen's voice was charming. She sang for Jiang Yue while enjoying the pleasure brought by the medicine.

Just like that, when the medicine soup was almost finished, Jiang Yue could no longer control the urge to drink a sip of the medicine.

At this moment, a prompt suddenly came from the divine seal panel.

[The God of Drama Fate progress increased to white 0%]

[You obtain the magical power: fortune-telling]

[Investigating the fortune and observing the energy: The appearance of all living beings is like hundreds of songs in a drama. The god of drama is high above, and the divine eye between his eyebrows can see the seven emotions and six desires of all living beings.

You have the divine eye between your eyebrows. The divine eye between your eyebrows can see the seven emotions and six desires of all living beings. 】

Jiang Yue was slightly stunned, and felt an itch between his eyebrows. A vertical eye opened from between his eyebrows, the eyes were full of majesty, the pupils were dark gold, full of majesty.

A series of strange and unpredictable auras emerged from Xiwen in front of him. The auras were of different colors, but Jiang Yue seemed to be able to know Xiwen's current condition by instinct.

"She was completely immersed in the desire for pleasure and could not extricate herself. Although she had tried to quit, she could not get rid of the control of the madam, so she simply indulged herself and lived a day-to-day life. After all, there was no harm, and the medicine could improve her strength. This was how her life would be from then on. If there was no noble person to help her, she would be a prostitute for the rest of her life and eventually become a madam."

Jiang Yue looked at these strange auras quietly, and Xiwen's experiences from childhood to adulthood almost all emerged in Jiang Yue's mind.

This is the power of the third eye. Jiang Yue finally understands its function.

The God of Drama sits high above the stands, overlooking all living beings, reading their experiences, and appreciating their various states of being, just as if he were listening to an opera.

With just a quick glance, the person's general experience will emerge in your mind, and you can also get a rough idea of ​​his future prospects.

Such magical powers are truly powerful.

What made Jiang Yue even more delighted was that the emergence of the magical power of observing fortune and looking at qi actually gave him the divine eye between his eyebrows.

And predicting fortune and looking at the energy is only one of the functions of the Divine Eye between the Eyebrows. The legendary Divine Eye between the Eyebrows has many mysterious and terrifying powers. Jiang Yue estimates that the magical powers of the Divine Eye between the Eyebrows will also appear after other destinies are upgraded.

"Sir, don't you want to drink this?"

The opera ended, Xiwen looked at Jiang Yue and asked, pointing with her jade finger at the remaining half pot of medicine.

His attention was diverted to the medicine, and Jiang Yue seemed to have an addiction stronger than smoking, and he couldn't wait to take a puff.

"call--"

Jiang Yue let out a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Drink it, and play another song."

Hearing this, Xiwen was very happy. He said thank you, then scooped up the medicine with a spoon as if it were a treasure, and danced while tasting it.

Jiang Yue was not in the mood to listen to the music this time, so he simply found a way to divert his attention.

Practice!

Jiang Yue began to silently visualize the Treasure Mirror of Mountains and Rivers, diverting his attention and curbing his desire to swallow the medicine.

Then, Jiang Yue was surprised to find that the spiritual light in his mind began to increase slowly, and in just a short period of time, one more ray of it appeared!
Could it be that restraining desires is beneficial to Shinto practice? !

Jiang Yue was shocked.

He looked at the increasing aura in his mind and felt that it was very possible.

The Tianyang Soup in front of me is just a soup for the first level. If I can resist the temptation of the soup for the first level, I can speed up my practice of the divine way so much. What if I can resist the temptation of the soup for the fourth level? Wouldn't it speed up my practice of the divine way even faster? !
In addition to the drug addiction of soup and medicine, there is also the sex addiction of Pants County, the anger addiction of Nu County, the appetite of Haisai County, and the sleepiness addiction of Mian County. If you resist different addictions, will the increase in your practice be different?

There are so many wonders in Zhou Yuan Mansion that Jiang Yue needs to explore them carefully.

When the song ended, Xi Wen blinked and looked at Jiang Yue, she felt that Jiang Yue was a little too generous. He didn't let her drink the medicine, nor did he sleep with her. She just listened to the music. If she had such good customers every day, she would feel much more relaxed. When she reached the third realm, she would no longer be a prostitute and could find another way to make a living from the Lu family.

"Master Jiang, do you want some more medicine? But the medicine of the first level is not to your liking? I see that you have great magical powers."

Xiwen asked tentatively.

If Jiang Yue could order a higher-level medicine, she could also enjoy it. It would be nothing more than giving her body to play with him. This thing is the cheapest, so only men would flock to it and spend money on it.

However, before Xiwen could finish his words, Jiang Yue interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"I've given you the medicine. I want to ask you a few questions. Can you tell me the truth?"

Jiang Yue asked with a smile.

"That's good, of course."

Xiwen blinked her eyes, looked at the handsome Jiang Yue, and couldn't help swallowing. She swayed her lotus steps and sat down next to Jiang Yue, and naturally let the veil on her shoulders slide down.

Jiang Yue didn't care about these and asked directly: "Is this building ship owned by the Lu family?"

"Yes, sir."

Xiwen had to answer every question: "Half of the ship on the Jiang'an of Shenyao County and the county's assets belong to the Lu family."

"What about the other half?"

Jiang Yue continued to ask.

"The other half belongs to the Hou family."

Xi Wen asked with a smile: "Master Jiang, are you new to Zhou Yuan Mansion? Are you not very familiar with all the situations and forces here?"

"Well, tell me about it."

Jiang Yue listened attentively.

Xiwen is a prostitute who stays in brothels every day and knows a lot of information. Jiang Yue asked the right person.

Xi Wen said: "Master Jiang, there are three gangs, five families and nine sects in Zhou Yuan Prefecture, which are in charge of all the large and small industries in Zhou Yuan Prefecture. All profitable businesses are under the control of these seventeen forces."

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

Jiang Yue continued to ask.

"Well, Master Jiang, the so-called three gangs are the Huan Gang, the Mian Gang, and the Shi Gang. The gangs are very large. The Huan Gang is made up of prostitutes and male prostitutes. The entire Kudai County is their territory. The Mian Gang can improve their strength by sleeping every day. Mian County is their territory. As for the Shi Gang, they occupy Haisai County."

Xiwen continued, "The five major families are Lu, Hou, Ma, Qi, and Zhao. They basically make their livings in Shenyao County and Nu County. The other nine families are in various places, and they have many businesses."

"I see."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly, and gained a general understanding of the situation in Zhou Yuan Mansion.

Zhou Yuan Mansion is probably controlled by these forces in all money-making businesses. Other people, warriors, and Shinto monks are all addicted and make money to satisfy their desires. Even demons cannot withstand the magic of Zhou Yuan Mansion and have to earn money from human society for consumption.

"What about the government?"

Jiang Yue asked: "Don't those officials try to make some money from these businesses?"

"Of course."

Xi Wen chuckled and said, "Yesterday, the official Wentang from Shen Yao County came to play on the boat. He told us to be prepared and wait for the new official to come. He wanted to leave the opportunity to entertain the Lu family and the like."
