Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 185 Elegant House
Jiang Yue had no idea what the two generals' disciples were thinking. He walked out of the classroom and went to Yunzhou City to find a place to stay.

He was not welcome in the dormitory and he was unwilling to stay.

After all, you will be in this position for a long time, and it is very embarrassing to see each other every day. Moreover, the privacy is really not good. Many martial arts are difficult to practice. If others see and reveal them, and if you meet the opponent in the future and he has prepared ways to restrain you in advance, you will be in a passive position.

Jiang Yue left the classroom and strolled through the city.

In Yunzhou City, all properties are developed by the government, but they can be traded second-hand after being purchased by private individuals. Due to Wentang restrictions, housing prices have not been inflated and are just normal prices.

In addition, there is an organization similar to an agent that specializes in taking people to view houses, called the House Owner Agency.

Jiang Yue entered the Household Department and found that the place was bustling with people coming and going. It was not at all like a place like Qing County, where a family could live in a household for decades or even generations.

Because Yunzhou City is the capital of Yunzhou, it has a large flow of people coming and going, so there are many tenants and inns.

"Sir, are you here to rent a mansion?"

As Jiang Yue was watching, a short, fat, and chubby middle-aged man with a goatee came over and said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself. I'm the owner of the Yuan's Household Department. My last name is Yuan. You can tell me if you have any needs."

When the shopkeeper Yuan saw Jiang Yue wearing the official uniform of the inspector, he was very surprised. He left the other guests to the waiter and went up to Jiang Yue.

The official uniform of the inspector general is not something that ordinary people can wear.

Apart from the Patrol General and the Patrol General, there are the Inspectors. Those who are qualified to be Inspectors have the strength of the sixth realm and are the best among them.

People of the Inspector's rank naturally wouldn't live in the martial arts hall, so it's normal for them to rent a house.

"Well, I need a mansion. What are your specific requirements?"

Jiang Yue pondered and said, "Because of my cultivation, I need a quiet house where no one can disturb me. Besides that, the price should be right. I plan to rent it for a year first."

"okay."

Shopkeeper Yuan laughed and said, "Sir, please follow me."

As he spoke, Manager Yuan led Jiang Yue into a small courtyard at the back. In this courtyard there was actually a landscape garden, on which was the layout of Yunzhou City. It was driven by the decrees of Shinto monks and looked quite sci-fi, which surprised Jiang Yue.

"Sir, the mansions we have here, the kind needed for practice, are all blessed by the laws of Shinto monks."

Shopkeeper Yuan introduced: "There is an elegant house at No. 13 Qingniufang. It is the only one in this courtyard. It is blessed by the decree of Shinto monks. It is the residence of the previous head of the Water Department. With the blessing of the decree, you can practice without worries inside. Except for you, outsiders are difficult to enter and cannot peek."

"Not only that, the geographical location is even more advantageous. It is only three streets away from the classroom, and ten streets away is the City God Temple. A little further away is the Forest of Murderous Steles. It is also close to several streams and rivers, connecting to Yunzhou Lake in the upper part and Huichun River in the lower part."

"."

Shopkeeper Yuan was indeed a professional. He spoke eloquently and described this elegant house as a place that would not be exchanged for any other paradise.

"What about the price?"

Jiang Yue asked.

"If the lease period is one year, one plant of the Fourth Realm precious medicine."

Shopkeeper Yuan chuckled, rubbed his hands, and explained, "Not everyone can live in this elegant house. It has been there for several years. After all, it was where the previous head of the Water Department lived. But you are in a high position and have a noble status, so I will rent it to you at the lowest price."

"Well, take me to see it."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly and signaled Manager Yuan to lead the way.

"Okay~"

Shopkeeper Yuan responded and without caring about what was happening inside the shop, he took Jiang Yue out of the shop and headed straight for Qingya's house.

He guessed that Jiang Yue was the newly appointed inspector. After all, he was from the Yuan family and several inspectors had met him.

Along the way, Shopkeeper Yuan acted as a guide and introduced Jiang Yue to the customs and culture of Yunzhou City.

"Sir, if you want to find something to eat, the most famous restaurant in Yunzhou City is Yuntianshuilou, located on the bank of Huichun River. It has a singing and dancing pavilion, beautiful scenery, and first-class wine and food, which is even not inferior to the food made in Haisai County of Zhouyuan Prefecture. The big shots and powerful people in the world will stop by this restaurant and drink a pot of the famous Huichun wine."

"Oh?"

Jiang Yue was slightly surprised.

Yuntianshuilou was the place where Yuan Qinghuan had arranged to meet him tonight. Unexpectedly, it was one of the best restaurants in Yunzhou City.

"Sir, if you wish..."

Shopkeeper Yuan kept talking on and on.

Jiang Yue raised his hand slightly to interrupt and said with a smile: "Tell me which opera singer is the best."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he showed a smile that all men understand and laughed.

"I didn't expect that you are still a sentimental person."

Shopkeeper Yuan chuckled and said, "If we talk about 'opera singing', then the best one must be the Tianshang Pavilion in Yunzhou City. It is said that the audiences in the Tianshang Pavilion all look like fairies, with clear and elegant voices and graceful bodies. The top courtesan Tianshangji is a beauty worth a fortune, and it is said that she came from the Jingzhou Opera House."

"."

Jiang Yue knew that Manager Yuan had misunderstood him, so he didn't explain. He just remembered the name Tianshang Ji.

Coming from Jingzhou Opera Company, singing opera should be able to provide a lot of progress in one’s fate.

Shopkeeper Yuan continued to chatter along the way. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, they finally arrived at a clear stream and saw many women washing clothes by the river.

Surrounded by low bungalows, it does not look like a mansion and looks like just an ordinary courtyard.

Jiang Yue glanced at Shopkeeper Yuan with a strange expression. This was different from the immortal residence he had introduced.

Manager Yuan hurriedly said, "Sir, although this place is surrounded by ordinary people and there are few warriors, it is indeed where the previous head of the Water Department lived. She doesn't like places with hot waves of warriors, but only remote and quiet places, which is exactly what you want."

"Well, I don't care, as long as practicing martial arts doesn't disturb others."

Jiang Yue smiled.

"That's right!"

Shopkeeper Yuan nodded, and took Jiang Yue through two alleys, entered an area called Qingniufang, and found a small house.

The three words "Qingya Zhai" are written on the plaque of the small house.

Below is a vermilion gate with a padlock on it that can only be opened with a special legal key.

Shopkeeper Yuan opened the door and brought Jiang Yue in.

What comes into view is an empty house with only a well, a jujube tree, a stone table, a few stone benches and a small house.

The area is about the same size as the front yard of Jiang Yue’s three-courtyard house in Qing County.

"Sir, there are two decrees under this stone table, one for soundproofing and one for visual isolation. Once the stone is activated, no one outside can see what is going on inside, and no one can get in."

Shopkeeper Yuan smiled and said, "Whether you use spiritual light or blood, you can stimulate it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue sat down next to the stone table in the courtyard and found that there were indeed two decrees posted under the table.

However, he knew nothing about the laws, and his cultivation in the way of gods was only at the first level, so he could not see what was going on. However, after he used his spiritual light to activate it, two halos spread out. When he walked out of the door and looked inside, he could only see the ordinary scenery, but could not see the figure of Shopkeeper Yuan.

"I think it's a trick or something."

Jiang Yue thought about it.

"As for the house, there is only one living room and one inner room."

Shopkeeper Yuan continued, "You can drink tea and burn incense in the guest hall, and the inner room is a place to rest."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Jiang Yue felt this place was nice.

He had only one requirement when choosing a house, and that was to feel relaxed and happy when entering it. That was a good house.

After all, a house is a place where people live for a long time. If you feel uncomfortable when you enter it, no matter what the reason is, after living there for a period of time, it will always subtly affect your subconscious emotions and then affect the decisions you make. This is also the most basic principle of Feng Shui.

"Does your Excellency think it is appropriate?"

Shopkeeper Yuan asked.

"Suitable."

Jiang Yue simply took out a Fourth Realm precious medicine, handed it to Shopkeeper Yuan, and said, "This is the one, no need to choose again."

"Okay! Let's sign the contract now."

Shopkeeper Yuan chuckled, took out the legal contract from his chest, signed his name on it, and then handed it to Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue looked at it without any problem and simply wrote his own name on it.

A ray of light flashed on the legal contract, indicating that the contract was established. For the next year, this elegant house would be rented to Jiang Yue.

"My Lord, here are the keys."

Shopkeeper Yuan handed Jiang Yue a silver key and said, "Please do as you please, sir. I will not bother you any more."

"."

Soon Manager Yuan left. Jiang Yue looked around the mansion himself, then went into the inner room, took out the Yunzhou Mountains and Rivers Geomancy Map given to him by the Yunzhou Patrol General, and began to look at it carefully.

After reading for a while, Jiang Yue felt sleepy and fell asleep at his desk.
-
On the other side, Shopkeeper Yuan returned to the shop excitedly, packed up his things, and planned to go back to his master's house to tell him about renting out the Water Bureau's master's house.

If a valuable mansion like this is to be rented out, it must be reported to the family.

Whoosh whoosh—

Manager Yuan walked without stopping, his figure flashing, and soon he arrived at the central area of ​​Yunzhou City and entered a mansion with the word "Yuan Mansion" written on it.

This mansion, with seven entrances and seven exits, is extremely magnificent. The number of masters, slaves, maids, and servants living in it is too numerous to count.

This is only where the main branch of the Yuan family lives. In fact, the three surrounding streets and alleys all belong to the Yuan family, but people from other branches live there.

"Second Master, Second Master, I have rented out Qingyaju!"

Shopkeeper Yuan was a member of a branch of the clan, but he had outstanding abilities. He walked all the way into the main hall of the Yuan Mansion and reported to the guest hall where the second master of the Yuan family was.

In the room, besides the second master of the Yuan family, there was Yuan Qinghuan and a young man of extraordinary bravery.

"Second Master, Miss Qinghuan, Master Shuiyun."

Shopkeeper Yuan greeted him with a salute.

"what did you just say?"

The second master of the Yuan family frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Qingyaju? But that's where the previous head of the Water Department lived? Didn't they say that it can't be rented out?"

"Second Master, I am thinking."

Before Shopkeeper Yuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the second master of the Yuan family.

“Do you know why renting is not allowed?”

The second master of the Yuan family stood up and said anxiously, "That's a haunted house! There is something in the well that was sealed by the previous head of the Water Department. That thing can only move in the courtyard. If it is alone in Qingya House, there is only one word: death!"

"what?"

Shopkeeper Yuan was stunned and speechless.

"Qinghuan, Shuiyun, follow your father to Qingya's house quickly to avoid a murder."

The second master of the Yuan family called out and hurried to Qingya's residence with Yuan Qinghuan and Yuan Shuiyun.

Whoosh whoosh—

Several people walked quickly, flashing through the city.

"Father, what is it?"

Yuan Qinghuan was a little curious.

"It's a ghost."

The second master of the Yuan family said in a deep voice.

"There are ghosts in this world? No way."

Yuan Qinghuan was stunned.

"It's just a description. There are always resentments and obsessions in this world, or Shinto monks with powerful spiritual light. After death, the spiritual light does not go out and gathers into spirits, which are the ghosts in the story books."

Master Yuan Er continued walking as he explained, "You can call it a ghost, a ghost, or a spirit. It's pretty much the same idea."

"I see, that Qingya residence"

Yuan Qinghuan asked.

"It happened several decades ago. It was an evil spirit of a highly skilled snake demon."

Master Yuan Er said: "This snake demon was very powerful. Even after its death for many years, it still had a strong grudge. No one knew how it died. It often harmed monks passing by. Later, it was sealed in the well of the previous head of the Water Bureau."

"Hey, let's go."

Yuan Qinghuan quickened his pace.
-
In less than a quarter of an hour, the second master of the Yuan family brought Yuan Qinghuan and Yuan Shuiyun to Qingya's house. Since Jiang Yue did not activate the law, they were able to directly cross the high wall and enter the house.

Several people stood in the yard, looking at the well water at the same time.

Then he was shocked by the scene before him.

I saw a spirit with a human head and a snake body, emitting a strange and dim light, slowly approaching the main hall. The human head of this spirit was extremely beautiful, but its eyes were blue and there was a sense of horror.

At the same time, the snake spirit was chanting in a low voice.

"Exchange your fate for my true fate, take my punishment, and suffer my pain"

As it said this, the snake demon's spirit emitted a faint light, pointing directly at Jiang Yue who was sleeping in the house.

This is a mysterious Shinto method that can allow those with weak fate to die in their place, but it is obvious that the snake demon underestimated Jiang Yue's fate.

She only saw a magnificent statue with three eyes and eyebrows, with overwhelming aura that looked straight into her soul. She was so shocked that she fell to her knees.

At the same time, a loud shout rang out.

"Who?!"

Immediately afterwards, a figure wrapped in terrifying blood and energy jumped out of the door, with golden blood and energy lingering around his body. The gilded red feather armor was dazzling and powerful. The vertical eye between his eyebrows was noble and indifferent, and the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand was bright red and enchanting, full of murderous intent.

It was exactly Jiang Yue Wuyi.

"My lord, my lord, I finally get to see you, the immortal god."

When the snake demon saw that Jiang Yue was exactly the same as the statue of the divine eye she had seen, she bowed her head and cried, "I hope the gods will redress the injustice for this servant of mine!!"

Jiang Yue was stunned.

In front of him, besides the snake demon, there was Yuan Qinghuan who looked confused, and two unfamiliar men.

"Gudong-"

Yuan Qinghuan's brother Yuan Shuiyun swallowed and stared at Jiang Yue in a daze, because he felt a strong sense of danger from Jiang Yue.

Not only him, but also the second master of the Yuan family felt a strong sense of crisis from Jiang Yue.
