Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 97: The Haunting of Ghosts
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll go over after I finish dealing with the bear carcass."

Jiang Yue thought about it, then holding the three-pointed, double-edged knife, he skinned and cut the meat quickly and efficiently, and then processed the big black carp.

Shiro can help with the rest of the work.

"Silang, go and share some meat with the villagers."

Jiang Yue said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, I'm going to the county. If I don't come back tonight, I will probably sleep at Master's house. You can just eat the big herring, no need to wait for me."

"Okay, be safe, Jiro."

Grandpa warned.

"Do not worry."

Jiang Yue did not bring Xiaotian and Xuntian with him. He stayed with the precious bow Xiaoyue. He wrapped the three-pointed, double-edged sword with white cloth, went out and headed straight for Qing County.
-
An hour later, Jiang Yue arrived at the Wentang of Qing County and spoke to the gatekeeper. Captain Zhang came out to greet Jiang Yue and led him into the Wentang.

"Captain Zhang, what's going on? Call me to the Wentang."

Jiang Yue asked doubtfully.

"The matter of Sun Yat-sen."

Captain Zhang led Jiang Yue into the literary hall while whispering, "Just go through the normal process. It won't be a big problem. Just answer whatever Lord Hu asks you."

"it is good."

When Jiang Yue heard that it was about Sun Yat-sen, he nodded slightly and had an idea in his mind.

Jiang Yue didn't kill the servant Sun, so he had nothing to hide and was not afraid of anyone asking him about it.

Tread-tap-

The two men walked up the steps and entered the literary hall of Qing County Yamen.

Hu Qingyan, the chief of the Wentang Administration Department, sat in the first seat, with Wentang officials beside him, and below him were two rows of yamen runners, holding blades, standing on both sides.

At this time, Hu Qingyan was interrogating several people. When he saw Jiang Yue coming in, he waved his hand and signaled that the people in the hall should be taken out.

Soon, several yamen runners took the prisoners away from the court.

"Junior Jiang Yue, greetings to Lord Hu."

Jiang Yue strode forward, walking like a dragon and a tiger, quite imposing, causing the people around him to look at him sideways, and they thought to themselves what a heroic man he was.

"No need to be polite."

Hu Qingyan waved his hand, took out the golden moral decree, and said, "I have a few questions for you. This is a moral decree. If you lie, you will be punished by the law."

"Moral edict?"

Jiang Yue was surprised. He looked at the gold paper on the table and nodded slightly: "Excuse me, sir."

"You and the yamen runner Sun have a long-standing grudge. Yesterday morning, the yamen runner Sun came to your house to apologize. Is this true?"

Hu Qingyan asked.

"It's true."

"Tell me more about it."

"it is good."

Jiang Yue cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Yi Sun came to me with thirty taels of silver to admit his fault. I ordered him to return all the silver he had embezzled from the people and divide it equally among the people of Funiu Village."

"Where did you go after that? Is there any witness?"

Hu Qingyan continued to ask.

"Master Hu, I came to Qing County to learn martial arts from a master. I met Captain Zhang in the afternoon and then returned to Qingyang Town."

Jiang Yue deliberately concealed the fact that he had been to Chunliyuan, and found that the moral decree had no effect.

It appears that the moral imperative only detects lying, not intentional concealment.

"Well, I know."

Hu Qingyan nodded and told the official next to him, "Write it down."

"Remember this, sir."

The clerk replied.

Hu Qingyan nodded slightly and gave Captain Zhang a look, indicating that Captain Zhang should take Jiang Yue away.

"Let's go, Master Liu."

Captain Zhang led Jiang Yue out of the literary hall and said with a smile, "Public affairs should be handled impartially. We must investigate all the people we have come into contact with. We will call them to the front of the Moral Law Office for questioning. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you."

"It's okay, it's okay. Jiang is not that narrow-minded."

Jiang Yue waved his hand and didn't care about this little thing.

What he cared more about was how Sun Yayi died.

No matter what, Sun Yayi had broken through three or four levels. Although he was not a warrior, he was already considered a leader in Qingyang Town.

With such strength, he was killed silently in his own home and his internal organs were eaten. The murderer must be very powerful, at least a warrior.

The most important thing is that this happened in his hometown. How can he allow others to sleep peacefully beside his bed? Jiang Yue must eliminate all dangerous factors.

"Master Zhang, how did this servant Sun die? Is there any clue as to why?"

Jiang Yue asked tentatively.

"There are some clues for now."

Captain Zhang escorted Jiang Yue out of the courtroom and walked along the path outside. As he walked, he transmitted his voice through his blood and qi: "After you bring back the official seal, you can see the scene within a hundred meters before Sun Yat-sen died. The one who killed Sun Yat-sen was a hunched and crawling human figure. He looked scary, with disheveled hair, like an evil ghost. He killed Sun Yat-sen with one claw, and then ate his heart, liver, lungs and other internal organs."

"Lord Hu concluded that this ghost-like thing was a puppet-like thing, and there must be someone controlling it, so he started investigating Sun Yat-sen's network of relationships during his lifetime."

At this point, Captain Zhang looked at Jiang Yue, cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your cooperation, Sixth Master. Anyone who had significant contact with the deceased before his death will be investigated. I hope Sixth Master will forgive me."

"It's okay, I understand."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Captain Zhang, if you have any related questions, you can call me at any time."

"it is good."

Captain Zhang accompanied Jiang Yue all the way to the end of the street before returning.

Jiang Yue looked at the time and simply went to Chunli Garden, where he ate, drank and listened to music for an hour.

[Time +2]

【Time: 67 years】

In one hour, he heard that two years had passed. He then looked at the progress of the God of Drama's fate and found that it had reached the gray 10%. Jiang Yue was extremely satisfied.

After listening to the opera, Jiang Yue counted the money and found that he had spent two hundred coins. He couldn't help feeling extremely distressed.

Fortunately, I have gained time and my destiny has improved, otherwise I would not be able to bear it.

After paying the money, Jiang Yue turned and left, leaving the exhausted women with confused faces.

It was the first time for them to see someone just listening to music without doing anything else.

How much you must like to listen to music!
An hour later, Jiang Yue returned to Funiu Village with two white deer that he had shot.

These two white deer were huge in size, each worth five years of time, which brought Jiang Yue’s time to a total of seventy-seven years.

However, Jiang Yue hunted the white deer not simply for time, but mainly because the white deer skin was expensive. A piece of deer skin could be sold for one or two taels of silver, and he was very short of money now.

Jiang Yue hummed an opera and carried the two white deer back home, which again aroused the surprise and envy of the people.

"Is this the world of warriors?"

Zhao Qi looked at Jiang Yue's figure, feeling deeply moved.

He decided to save some money and try to learn martial arts at the county martial arts school to see if he had a chance to become a warrior.

Jiang Yue's success allowed Zhao Qi to see a different world and aroused great yearning in his heart.

When he returned home, Jiang Yue threw the two white deer on the ground, leaving his grandfather Jiang Cong in a state of confusion.

"Erlang, the warriors are so powerful. You look like you are going into the mountains to purchase goods." Old man Jiang Cong said with emotion.

Before, he had only heard his father and grandfather say that becoming a warrior would make one a superior person, and that if one person became a warrior, the whole family would enjoy the benefits, but he did not have a real understanding of warriors, and he had never even seen a warrior in his life before.

Now that his grandson has become a warrior, Grandpa Jiang Cong has finally witnessed the power of a warrior.

These bear skins, deerskins, and big bluefish, if you sell all the prey you catch in a day and don't keep them for yourself, you can easily get more than ten taels of silver.

With this rate of making money, it is not easy to build a business.

"Grandpa, have you eaten the big herring?"

Jiang Yue asked with a smile while dealing with the white deer's corpse.

"I ate it. I was very hungry. I couldn't eat any more after one bowl. My stomach felt so hot."

Shiro answered first, grinning, "It's super delicious, with a special aroma that I've never tasted before."

"As long as it's delicious."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Silang, after you eat this kind of meat, run and jump more, or move things, so that you can grow taller and become very strong, and you can be as powerful as your second brother in the future."

"really?"

"Of course what my second brother said is true. When has he ever lied to you?"

"Then I will remember!"

Shiro nodded excitedly and jumped out of the yard.

Jiang Yue was thinking about finding some more refining methods to teach Silang, because all the martial arts he learned were taught by the Qimen Sect and he was not allowed to teach them to outsiders.

Watching Silang running and jumping, Jiang Yue quickly dealt with the white deer in his hand.

Picking up the deerskin, bear skin, and big bluefish scales, Jiang Yue said something to his grandfather and went to Qingyang Town for hunting.

At this time, the hunting fair in Qingyang Town was divided into two parts, Luo's hunting fair and Lin's hunting fair, just like usual.

The Luo family did not leave Qingyang Town just because the bandit suppression incident was over. Simply put, they came here to do business not to suppress bandits, but for other purposes.

Maybe it was to incorporate Qingyang Town into his own territory, or maybe it was for something else, no one knew.

When Jiang Yue arrived at the hunting ground carrying a bag of animal skins, he immediately caused a lot of discussion.

The idle men, hunters, and herbalists squatting on both sides of the hunting road all stared at Jiang Yue with curiosity in their eyes.

It was obvious that they had all heard of Jiang Yue's name.

"That's the second son of the Jiang family. Rumor has it that he has become a warrior?"

"That's right. I was accepted as a disciple by a big shot in Qing County. I don't have to go into the mountains to hunt anymore. I will have wealth and glory for the rest of my life."

"It's hard to say. After all, his family is not well-off. I heard that someone saw him coming back from hunting this morning. Even if he becomes a warrior, he still hunts."

"Then look at what they are hunting! Jiang Jia Erlang is hunting a bear! A giant bear that is as big as a mountain of meat is dead. It's not like we are hunting pheasants, rabbits or something like that."

"My mother is like a mountain of flesh. The warriors are really powerful."

"yes."

The crowd was talking, and their voices occasionally reached Jiang Yue's ears.

However, Jiang Yue didn't care about what others thought of him. He went all the way to Luo's Hunting Ground and met the old one-armed man whom he hadn't seen for many days.

The one-armed old man was still smoking his pipe in front of the hunting ground as usual.

The medicine store is looked after by his disciples, and as long as the patients are not seriously injured, they can basically handle it. He is also happy to deal with mountain products here.

Seeing Jiang Yue coming, the old one-armed man's eyes lit up. He knocked the pipe in his hand on the table, then hung it aside and took a few steps forward to greet Jiang Yue.

"Hey, Senior, you are embarrassing me!"

Jiang Yue hurriedly supported the one-armed old man and let him sit down.

"Haha, what's the big deal? I'm just glad to see you."

The one-armed old man smiled and said, "It's been a while since I last saw you, Erlang. You seem to be doing very well lately. How do you feel?"

"It's all pretty good."

Jiang Yue nodded and said seriously: "Everything is fine and gradually getting back on track."

"Well, I knew you had a bright future, but I didn't expect you to soar so quickly."

The one-armed old man said with emotion: "But I still have to thank you for saving the young lady's life."

"We are all senior sisters, so let's not talk about this, senior."

Jiang Yue took out the animal skin bag and said with a smile: "Senior, please help me take a look. I want to exchange some silver for today's hunting."

"Row."

The old one-armed man took the animal skin bag that was half a person's height, went into the shed, opened it, and found a bear skin and two white deerskins.

The bear skin was rather damaged, having been cut into two halves without any connection at all, but the good thing was that the cut was extremely shiny.

The old one-armed man touched the bear skin again and confirmed that the owner of the bear skin had reached the initial stage.

"Could it be that it was cut into this state by a single blow?"

The old one-armed man took one look at the bear skin and saw many things about it. He sighed in his heart, "The magic weapon made of the formless divine iron is indeed sharp. Erlang's strength is also very great. He killed a giant bear in the initial stage with such a brilliant sword."

He watched Jiang Yue grow up, so he has many feelings.

After all, it only took Jiang Yue one month from selling him the pheasant to selling him the initial level giant bear skin.

This change is really huge.

After admiring for a while, the old one-armed man looked at the white deerskin beside him.

Two white deerskins, one of which was shot in the eye, but the fur is intact and of high quality.

After inspecting the goods, the one-armed old man counted the silver and put it into the purse, then threw it to Jiang Yue. At the same time, the sound of qi and blood transmission sounded in Jiang Yue's ears.

"This bear skin, when it reaches the initial stage, is only two halves, and its value will drop by 20%, and it is worth eight taels of silver."

"As for the white deerskin, it costs one tael each."

There are a total of ten taels of silver in this purse.

Jiang Yue blinked his eyes. He didn't expect that bear skin was so valuable.

He had fourteen taels of silver in savings before, and now with these ten taels, he had twenty-four taels of silver.

Jiang Yue was in a good mood, weighing the heavy silver in his hand.

"Erlang, you have become a warrior and have joined the Qimen Sect, why do you still go into the mountains all day? Why don't you just practice in the sect?"

The one-armed old man asked curiously.

Jiang Yue explained: "I want to make some money, buy a house in the county, and move there with my grandfather and brother."

"I see."

The old one-armed man suddenly understood and said with a smile: "If you want to buy a house in the future, you can come to me or your second senior sister. The Luo family still has many houses, and I guarantee to pick the best one for you with the most suitable price."

"Haha, thank you, senior."

Jiang Yue laughed and said, "Then I have to save money quickly."

The one-armed old man lit up his pipe again, wanting to chat with Jiang Yue again, but a waiter came running over in a hurry and whispered something in his ear.

After hearing this, the old one-armed man's expression immediately became serious.

"What's wrong, senior?"

Jiang Yue asked with concern.

"Many people in the Lin family died, but the head of the family is still alive and waiting for me to save him in the pharmacy."
