Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Under the boundless sky, a giant airship with a unique shape and made of the solid quality of a mountain is sailing leisurely.

Its huge body is like a moving hill, moving smoothly among the sea of ​​clouds under the caress of the air currents.

As the sailing distance grew farther and farther, an inky black thundercloud emerged in the distant sky, as if a group of dark beasts with bared fangs and claws were rapidly gathering.

"There is a thunderstorm in the clouds on the right side ahead. It is of moderate intensity and will last for about three hours."

There were 20 observation towers on the boat, and an observer immediately reported the situation. The general on duty waved his hand and said, "Continue to pass."

In an instant, the dazzling lightning was like a sharp sword in the sky, ruthlessly tearing through the thick clouds. Then, the deafening thunder rolled in like a raging wave, and the giant boat was instantly sucked into the vortex of the violent thunderstorm.

Yet this airship built from the mountains has demonstrated amazing resilience.

When the lightning struck it, the boat trembled slightly, and a layer of ancient and mysterious light appeared faintly on the outer shell condensed from special mountain minerals, as if the power sleeping deep in the mountains was instantly awakened.

This light was like an indestructible shield, slowly channeling the powerful electric current of the lightning, causing it to meander down along the hull and eventually dissipate into nothingness.

Strong winds howled and raged around the giant boat, as if trying to pull it off its intended route, but the giant boat, relying on its stable and heavy structure, was able to steadily resist the invasion of the wind.

Every roar of thunder was like a majestic declaration to the airship, but it continued to move along its original route.

In the hall, Jiang Yue looked out through the window made of transparent strange stone, and felt something in his heart.

These thunderstorms are quite frequent, and we have encountered them no less than three times along the way. However, this level of impact is not even enough to force out the giant boat's protective formation. Its own structure is enough to allow it to pass.

Even the people inside it will not feel anything, at most they will just feel a slight shaking.

However, facing the thunderstorm, the patterns on the small pot lit up much faster.

This was what Jiang Yue obtained when he was in Lizhou. Along the way, he used his magical power to summon wind and rain many times just to absorb some weather.

During the ten days or so that the giant boat was sailing, the green lines on the small pot were almost full.

Looking at the thunder coming not far away, Jiang Yuejing waited for the change in the small pot.

But after waiting for a long time, the green lines did not change again.

"Isn't that enough? It doesn't matter. At most, I can just wait a few more days."

Putting the small pot back into his arms, Jiang Yue prepared to return to his room. His practice for the day was complete, so he could listen to some music and relax.

Just then, a clear and pleasant voice came from beside me.

"Inspector Jiang has been standing there for a long time. Could it be that he is bored? Although this ship is large, it is mainly built for combat, so the space for movement is a bit small."

"How about playing a few games of chess?"

Jiang Yue turned around and saw Li Yiyun's figure.

During this period, although there was still not much communication among the group, they were still quite familiar with each other. At least on this huge boat full of strangers, they could have some company.

However, Jiang Yue seldom came to this hall except when the weather changed. At most, he came to fight with Wang Qiwu as agreed. Now the other party was convinced.

This Li Yiyun is quite mysterious. She rarely comes out on weekdays, but for some reason she seems to be in a good mood today.

"That's fine, but I'm not good at playing chess. How about a different way of playing?"

What Jiang Yue said was true. Perhaps with his photographic memory, he had certain advantages in studying chess, but he had indeed never been exposed to this before.

"Oh? What other ways are there to play? Let's discuss it."

Hearing this, Li Yiyun seemed to become interested. She put the chessboard in her arms on the table and motioned Jiang Yue to sit down.

"Tanqi, the way of playing in my hometown, is to flick the chess pieces with your fingers, and the winner is to knock all the opponent's chess pieces out of the board or occupy a specific position."

Recalling a way of playing that he had seen before, Jiang Yue gestured slightly with his hands, and the other party immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Inspector Jiang, isn't this a bit too bullying?"

Li Yiyun raised the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "You practice martial arts, and your control over your body is far better than mine. If you eject this chess piece, won't it be a sure hit?"

"That's true..."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yue said again: "If that's the case, forget it. I still need to go back to my room to practice martial arts."

"Or... Li Shaoqing, why don't you just speak frankly?"

How could he not see that the other party came to him on purpose this time, obviously not because he was bored and wanted to play chess with someone.

It was obvious that she was looking for him specifically to talk to him.

Of course, Jiang Yue would not be so narcissistic as to think that the other party was convinced by his charm. What the other party wanted to say was probably related to the last recruitment.

"Inspector Jiang is really a straightforward person."

Li Yiyun's smile seemed to become helpless, and he said again: "I am not here to recruit people this time. Of course, if Inspector Jiang is willing, you can change the name of the store. If you are willing, Yunzhou will also let you go."

"Of course, the premise is that it's voluntary. My Agricultural Department won't really snatch people in front of the Sky Patrol Department."

"As for why I came to look for you again, it's because I saw that Inspector Jiang seemed curious about the thunderstorm."

Seeing the other party asking the question, Jiang Yue did not deny it, nodded and said: "The martial arts I practiced are related to it, so I am naturally curious."

This is not a lie. Isn't the "Wind and Thunder Melting Jade Tower Sutra" about inducing wind and thunder into the body?

Watching natural thunderstorms is also beneficial to Jiang Yue’s own practice.

Hearing this, Li Yiyun opened her red lips slightly, and seemed to have thought of something. After a long time, she spoke again: "So that's how it is."

"I thought your interest in 'weather' might have something to do with my Nongsi Shinto, but it turns out you're just interested in wind and thunder."

"However, if Inspector Jiang is curious about this mystery, I can explain it to you."

"Among the many auras, the two auras of heaven and earth are most relevant to our Agricultural Department, and we have done the most research on them. Inspector Jiang's martial arts are related to wind and thunder, and also have some connection with the weather."

"To draw in the Qi to temper oneself is the method of martial arts practice, and if one takes the Qi into the body and guides its use, it is the method of Shinto practice."

The other party's description was concise. In just two sentences, he explained the biggest difference between martial arts and Shintoism. This made Jiang Yue look at him with a higher opinion.

Those who can be recruited will not be older than thirty years old. Li Yiyun looks to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven. To be able to receive such an imperial decree at such an age, he is indeed not an ordinary person.

To be honest, except for the Chief of the Xisi who saw him being killed from afar, Li Yiyun was already the Shinto cultivator with the highest level that Jiang Yue had ever seen.

Maybe what he said was really helpful to me.

Jiang Yue changed his view a little and said, "All the paths lead to the same destination. I have also realized this."

Just like 'stabbing', 'slashing' and 'poking', different moves and different true meanings, in essence they are all just for killing the enemy.

Therefore, all these true meanings can be integrated into the immortal fighting techniques.

The same is true for the distinction between Shinto and Martial Arts. Although there are differences, they are ultimately references to energy, which is what the other party calls breath.

Heaven, earth, man, wind, fire, water, sun, moon and stars, all have their own breath.

Warriors use it to temper themselves, and monks use it for their own benefit.

In essence, they are all applications of these energies, but the expressions are different.

"I heard that Inspector Jiang also practices Shintoism. Although I don't know the details, I think it's not bad."

"I rashly recruited you a few days ago. Looking back, I felt that was a bit rude. As compensation, I hope Inspector Jiang can accept this talisman." As he spoke, Li Yiyun blinked his eyes and handed over a jade talisman.

"It contains some of my thoughts on 'weather'. It has nothing to do with the secrets of the farming family. Inspector Jiang, there is no need to worry. Just read it."

"Since it is related to your martial arts, I think it will be of some use. I hope you can forgive me for bothering you today."

After leaving the jade talisman behind, Li Yiyun did not stay long and slowly retreated.

"Give more to Li Shaoqing, and you will definitely be rewarded in the future."

Jiang Yue knew that this was not compensation at all, and the other party had not really offended him. It was clearly an excuse.

However, he did not object to this kind of gesture of goodwill. After all, the gift was extremely useful to him now.

Well, it is much more sincere than some aristocratic families using gold and silver as greeting cards...

In this hall, Jiang Yue didn't know how to check it right away. After putting away the talisman, he walked back to his room.

.........

Due to its nature, the giant airship is mainly designed for combat performance, so naturally some living experience has to be sacrificed. However, the rooms inside are already considered to be an upper-middle living environment.

Jiang Yue pushed the door open and walked in. Although it was a huge stone boat, it was not visible in the room at all. It had all kinds of facilities and there was no inconvenience at all.

Although the space is not large, it is arranged very neatly. The floor is covered with a fur blanket. Opposite the door is a simple wooden couch with neatly folded bedding on it. Next to it is a solid wooden low table for reading or writing.

This space is certainly not enough to practice martial arts, but it is enough to comprehend oneself.

The sound insulation here is quite good. By closing the door behind you, you can block out the outside noise.

Just as Jiang Yue was about to sit back on the wooden couch, he suddenly had a feeling.

He took out the small pot in his arms and looked at it carefully. The green lines were still a little short of perfection. He didn't know when it would be full.

"Bah!"

"Now that you've awakened, why don't you show up?"

"I have seen through your disguise. If you don't show up, I will smash your body!"

Recalling the progress of the past few days, Jiang Yue shouted softly, his eyes slightly widening between his brows.

This seemingly funny action actually worked. The pattern on the small pot suddenly lit up, and the original missing part was made up in an instant.

With Jiang Yue's current abilities, there are probably few people who can deceive him.

What's more, it's a spirit, and it will react to the slightest trick.

Soon, a figure cautiously poked its head out. It had a short and wide head, lively eyes, and a well-developed jawbone, like a calf.

When it completely climbed out of the pot, Jiang Yue forced himself not to laugh out loud.

This pot spirit has a bull's head and a human body, just like a child's body with a calf's head on top. Its entire body is only the size of a palm. At this moment, it is looking at Jiang Yue curiously.

"Are you the Hu Ling? Why didn't you come to see me earlier?"

Jiang Yue spoke in a deep voice, which frightened the little pot spirit so much that it was about to drill in. He seized the opportunity, pinched its tail, and lifted it up.

This little thing, which is only the size of a palm, has been discovered, so where can it run?

"Moo~"

"Don't blame me, sir. I just wanted to eat more so that I can grow stronger, so I stayed a little longer."

"Since I have been discovered by the adults, I will be able to play a role in the future. I hope you will not deprive me of food."

Xiao Hu Ling spoke very slowly, which seemed to be related to his personality. Jiang Yue was not in a hurry and waited for him to finish every word.

I don't know what this pot spirit has been through, but it has learned to call me adults...

"If you are hungry, just tell me. There is no need to hide. There is no shortage of food for you."

"By the way, tell me about your abilities."

By summoning the spirit of the pot, this small pot has truly become a spiritual treasure. How could Jiang Yue not be happy about it? However, he did not show it for a while.

“I can farm.”

After a long silence, the little pot spirit slowly spoke.

"I know that... never mind, it's pointless to ask you."

Jiang Yue was speechless for a while, but he knew there was no need to ask any more questions. He would know the answer once he opened the divine eye between his eyebrows.

The little pot spirit naturally would not resist, and soon he knew all of his experiences.

The specific name of this pot has become blurred in ancient history, and it is impossible to verify how many spirits the pot has passed through.

This is perfectly normal for such rare objects in the world.

This Hu Ling, who looks like a minotaur, was born several decades ago and belonged to the Agricultural Bureau of a city in Lizhou at that time.

Draw the air from the sky as food, and drop the essence of life into the earth.

The essence it produces can greatly benefit the growth of flowers, plants and trees, shorten their growth time and increase their nutrients.

As for the specific bonus, it depends on its own growth progress.

Today's little minotaur is still in its infancy and has not yet fully developed.

As for why it fell into a deep sleep in the first place, it was naturally because the Nongsi had cut off its food supply. The natural weather could not replenish it, and it was impossible to summon the weather. Over time, the pot spirit became silent.

Fortunately, Jiang Yue got it in time, otherwise, if some time passed, the little minotaur would probably have starved to death.

It may take hundreds or even thousands of years to regenerate a pot spirit. This is nothing to the world, but for an individual, it is too long to wait.

"No wonder you're so scared, it turns out you've been hungry before."

"It's okay. I'll make up for the food you're missing."

Putting the little pot spirit on the table, Jiang Yue slowly spoke to comfort her.

Not to mention his ability to call the wind and rain, just the amount of weather he absorbed from traveling along the way was already a lot.

What's more, Jiang Yue, who knows its wonderful use, can take the initiative to look for the valuable weather, instead of letting the treasure be covered in dust like Cheng Nongsi did.

"it is good."

Although the little pot spirit knew some of the titles, she did not understand the ways of the world, nor did she know what gratitude meant. However, she suddenly felt that the aura of the man in front of her was no longer so ferocious.

"Don't call me sir from now on. It's awkward for a little calf like you to call me sir..."

"Call it something else, and think for yourself."

Jiang Yue picked it up and put it into the small pot, then said, "I'll call you next time when there's food."
