Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 133 Suppressing the Martial Arts World
"So good."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly and said, "But this is something you don't need to spend a whole night studying."

"Haha, your Excellency has a keen eye."

Yuan Qinghuan praised and said with a smile: "There is Yuqing Lake in Yuqing County. This lake is vast and deep, and the bottom is connected to an underground river. If a canal is extended from Huichun River to Yuqing Lake, and a decree is added to the lake, water can be stored and floodwater can be discharged in the future, killing two birds with one stone. As long as the decree is in place, the nine counties of Yuqing can be guaranteed to have good weather and good harvests every year."

"I'm afraid this decree is not easy?"

Jiang Yue asked.

"The water officials of the nine counties will work together for half a month and it will be almost done."

Yuan Qinghuan patted his chest, very confident.

"it is good!"

Jiang Yue exclaimed in praise, then said soothingly: "Thank you for the hard work of the water department officials."

In the area of ​​nine counties, how many officials in charge of water are there?
It took so many water officials fifteen days of combined efforts to pass this decree, which shows how difficult this task was.

However, although it is hard work, this move can benefit the people for generations and will last for thousands of years.

"Then let's follow Master Yuan's plan. Once I have eliminated the demons in the water, I will start the work of taming the water."

Jiang Yue ordered.

"I will follow your orders, sir!"

Everyone in the Water Department bowed respectfully.

Immediately afterwards, the yamen court fell into silence. Jiang Yue waited quietly, tapping the armrests rhythmically with his fingers, making a "dong dong" sound.

There are still two hours until noon.

Jiang Yue waited for a while, becoming a little impatient, and thought of going outside to see what was going on in the city. However, just as he stood up, a yamen runner came to report.

"grown ups!"

The yamen runner hurried into the court and reported, "A troupe of actors has traveled to our Yuqing County. They heard from the people that the general flag had cleaned up the bureaucracy and ordered the yamen to provide meat soup to help the people. They were shocked and wanted to donate money to us."

"Oh? Is there such a good thing?"

Jiang Yue smiled, looked at the sky, and thought it was boring to just wait for the martial artists, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Invite them in."

"Yes, my lord!"

The bailiff bowed, stepped back quickly, and ran outside to greet the guests.

Everyone in the yamen court looked outside curiously, with a strange feeling in their hearts.

Especially the original civil servants of Yuqing County. When they usually went out, the people looked at them with resentment and hated them and Yuan Qinghai. But now some people came to the government office to donate money on their own initiative.
This sense of difference made the officials present feel mixed emotions, and they suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong in doing some good things for the people.

Jiang Yue took note of everyone's expressions and understood what they were thinking.

"However, doing things for the people can gain incense and power, which is necessary for Shinto practice. Don't these Shinto practitioners know this?"

Jiang Yue frowned slightly, feeling doubtful.

He knew very little about Shintoism, and had only received information about Shintoism practice from his fourth uncle, Mr. Hu, and the panel.

Perhaps other people's Shinto practice does not rely on incense and vows?
No, no, no. It should be an advanced practice method that relies on the power of incense and vows. It is not something that ordinary cultivators can obtain. Relying on the power of incense and vows to practice is the best strategy, but it is not the only strategy, Jiang Yue thought in his heart.

While he was thinking about it, the bailiffs had already led the opera troupe into the yamen court.

The members of the troupe had just finished performing a free play for the people and were still putting on their costumes. Only the troupe leader had not put on any makeup.

And the owner of this class is an old acquaintance of Jiang Yue.

"Lord Jiang En?!"

When the head of the Yu family walked into the government hall, he saw Jiang Yue sitting at the first seat and couldn't help but scream.

He remembered Jiang Yue's face so clearly that he even asked someone to draw his portrait.

Looking further down, officials from the civil and military halls were located on both sides. It was obvious that Jiang Engong was the general flag that the people were talking about.

The little girl of the Yu family stood in the troupe, wearing a colorful costume, with a hint of surprise and joy in her beautiful eyes.

However, both of them could clearly see that Jiang Yue was very different from what he was then, and his temperament was completely different.

He looked like a young hero then, but now he has a strong majesty. When you go to that seat, you will feel an awe-inspiring presence that makes people afraid to approach him.

"Hahaha, it's actually the head of the Yu family."

Jiang Yue laughed heartily, feeling happy, and said, "Come here, get some seats for the head of the Yu family."

"No, no, no, benefactor, no need, no need, we cannot break the rules in the government court, we will just stand here."

The Yu family's boss quickly refused.

The officials from the civil and military halls were all standing, so how could he dare to sit down?

Finally, the bailiff brought seats, but none of the people from the Yu family sat down, and Jiang Yue didn't care about it.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Yu, why are you in Yuqing County?"

Jiang Yue asked with a smile.

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign place, although the owner of the Yu family was not such an old acquaintance, but at least he was an old acquaintance. Jiang Yue was very happy to meet an old acquaintance during his days as an official in Yuqing County.

"Alas, the Yu family's opera troupe was not recruited by the government, so we can only travel all the way to Huichun Prefecture to sing and make a living. Let's see if my daughter can be noticed by the prefectural opera house."

The head of the Yu Family troupe said with emotion, "I happened to pass by Yuqing County. I had only heard that there was a flood here, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. So I sang a play for free. As a result, I heard that the newly appointed General Jiang had purged the officials and killed more than a hundred people in one breath. The big families in the county, the fishing gangs and the rice gangs were not spared. He also gave meat to the porridge and promised to control the flood. I wanted to leave some money to help with charity, but I never thought that this General Jiang was actually a benefactor."

At this point, the head of the Yu family paused, then smiled and said, "The common people are very respectful to the benefactor, and only call him Lord Jiang or General Jiang. Otherwise, if I knew that the general here was you, the benefactor, I would not come in to visit you, but would leave the money and go, which would cause trouble for you."

"Hahaha."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "It's okay. This is fate. However, since Master Yu has come to Yuqing County, we should not leave for the time being. There are monsters everywhere. Once I have eliminated the monsters and the flood has receded, it won't be too late to continue our journey. By then, the road will be easier to travel."

"Alright."

The head of the Yu family nodded.

He encountered an aquatic monster along the way. Fortunately, his group was far away from the water, otherwise they would have been attacked by the monster.

It would be better for them to stay in Yuqing County for a while and continue their journey after Jiang Yue has eliminated the demons.

As for whether Jiang Yue could eliminate the demons and repel the flood, the head of the Yu family didn't even think about this question. Jiang Yue's words seemed to have magic, which made him unconsciously convinced.

"As for donating money, forget it."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "It's not easy for the opera troupe, it's good that the kindness is there."

"grown ups."

"Okay, don't worry about it."

Jiang Yue waved his hand and said, "Boss Yu, I have some things to do at noon. I will come to your house to chat after I finish my work."

"So good."

The head of the Yu family said, "Then I won't bother you with your important business."

"Someone is coming."

Jiang Yue called the yamen runners and said in a deep voice: "Arrange accommodation for the Yu family."

"Yes, sir!" The bailiff took the order and took the head of the Yu family out of the yamen court and arranged him in a special guest room nearby.

From beginning to end, the little girl from the Yu family didn't speak to Jiang Yue. She just looked at Jiang Yue with full admiration.

After the Yu family left, the government court fell into silence again.

Jiang Yue went to the warehouse at the back and took out several hundred kilograms of fish given by Yuan Tong from the Qiankun bag, and ordered the people in the warehouse to keep them for future use.

Afterwards, Jiang Yue returned to the government hall and quietly waited for the arrival of the martial artists.

The people from the civil and military halls followed Jiang Yue and waited quietly. Until Jiang Yue spoke, they would not speak either.

There was silence in the yamen court.

Yuan Tong stood among the yamen runners, head lowered, thinking about the martial arts training method he had just learned.
-
Outside Yuqing County.

Warriors from the eight major sects came and stopped outside the gate of Yuqing County.

Fragments of the Dragon Palace appeared in the Nine Counties, and the eight major sects tacitly sent a fourth-level elder, several third-level guardians, and many second-level disciples.

Those who came to the outside of Yuqing County were the fourth-level elders of various sects and the third-level protectors. As for the disciples, they were not worthy to appear in such an occasion.

More than twenty people stood at the gate of Yuqing County, looking towards the city wall of Yuqing County.

On the city wall, the bodies of three Fire Deity monks were hung there, in the most humiliating way.

"Oh? How come the people of Huode Sect were killed by the general flag and hung at the city gate for public display?"

An old man from the Baiyun Sect laughed.

If one senses his aura, one will suddenly discover that this old man from the Baiyun Sect actually has the strength of a fourth realm.

"Old Bai, don't be so arrogant. Don't you know that someone from the Baiyun Sect was killed?"

A middle-aged man with red hair and beard from the Huode Sect laughed: "Many people saw it at that time. Your disciple didn't even have the courage to take revenge. He just said something cruel and ran away. Hahahaha, when it comes to embarrassment, your Baiyun Sect is still the best."

"Why, Huode Sect, do you want to drop out of the list of the eight major sects?"

"Haha, with your Baiyun Sect, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to do that."

"Tsk, no one really thinks that the big sects developed on their own, right? To put it bluntly, isn't it because the imperial court officials still remember the old contributions?"

The cultivator from Baiyun Sect ridiculed the founder of Huode Sect for saving the forest fire. This remark completely angered the middle-aged man with red beard from Huode Sect.

bass--

A flash of red blade light appeared, and it collided with a pure white energy in the air with a shocking momentum.

"Haha, this blood-fire knife you nurtured is just like this."

"The Baiyun Sect's true energy is only this good."

The two ridiculed each other.

"Alright! Be quiet."

A warrior wearing a yin-yang black and white robe said in a cold voice.

"Then give Elder Hao of the Yin Yang Sect some face."

“Haha, if it weren’t for Elder Hao stepping in, I would have killed you, the red-bearded brat, today.”

The two people from Baiyun Sect and Huode Sect were originally on the verge of a fight, but after hearing what this person said, they quieted down, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

"The general flag invited us here, I don't know why he wants to keep us in suspense."

The man in the black and white robe was Elder Hao of the Yin Yang Sect. He said in a deep voice, "The eight sects of Huichun Prefecture are of the same origin, so we should not engage in internal strife. With the government in front of us, we should unite as one and not get caught in a trap."

"Haha, he's just a general, why should you be so careful?"

Someone laughed.

"After all, he is a government official and cannot be killed."

Elder Hao shook his head and said, "The water palace ruins in the nine counties are not ordinary water palace ruins. There are many treasures. The government wants to take them all. I will be the first to disagree. Everyone should follow my instructions. He is just a general flag with only the third realm of cultivation. Haha."

The Yin-Yang Sect is the most prosperous of the eight major sects, so when facing issues with the government, everyone simply listens to Elder Hao.

"Humph, if it weren't for that dog skin, I would have come to kill you long ago."

The old man from Baiyun Sect snorted coldly.

After the group showed their identities, the bailiffs quickly let them pass and led them to the court.
-
Yamen court.

"Sir! Bring the people from the eight major martial arts sects here!"

A bailiff rushed into the court, knelt on one knee, and reported loudly.

"it is good!"

Jiang Yue became interested, his eyes sparkling.

The yamen runners retreated quickly, and soon led the people from the eight major sects into the yamen court. Even though it was such a short distance, the middle-aged man with a red beard from the Huode Sect actually looked around and turned his head seven or eight times.

Inside the government hall.

Jiang Yue was wearing a black official uniform, sitting high on the main seat, with an eagle or dog symbolizing his presence on his chest, and two cloud banners representing his status as the general flag bearer.

He had a blank expression on his face, but he was brewing an astonishing momentum so fierce that it was breathtaking.

The officials of the civil and military halls consciously retreated to both sides of the court hall to leave room in the middle. Soon more than twenty martial artists were brought to the court hall and stood in the center of the hall. In front of them, Jiang Yue was sitting high up.

"Patrol Chief. Huh?!"

Elder Hao originally wanted to reprimand Jiang Yue and give him a warning, but his eyes were filled with energy and after looking at Jiang Yue, his expression froze.

He has a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing. He seems to be able to suppress everything wherever he goes. He has a divine appearance and is definitely not an ordinary person.
Elder Hao was moved, took a step back silently and shut his mouth.

The unique skill of Yin Yang Sect is to read the destiny by looking at the qi.

Elder Hao believed that he was right and quietly retreated behind the crowd.

As for other warriors, none of them have the ability like Elder Hao.

The middle-aged man with red hair and beard from the Huode Sect was irritable, and when the three Huode Sect monks were hung on the city wall to be humiliated, he immediately opened his mouth and shouted:
"This patrol commander, Jiang Yue, why did you summon us here?"

"If there is nothing important, don't force us to stay. It's a waste of time. Don't think that you can suppress this place by snatching a few bodies from the Water Palace from the hands of the Third Realm Elders. It was just that we, the Fourth Realm Elders, didn't pay attention to the Water Palace yesterday."

The middle-aged man with red hair and beard from the Huode Sect spoke very rudely.

Of course Jiang Yue won't tolerate it.

It just so happened that he wanted to test out his own strength.

"Are you a fourth-level elder?"

Jiang Yue asked with a smile.

"Yes."

The middle-aged man with red beard was quite arrogant. He snorted coldly, "Even if you are invincible in the third realm, you are no match for the fourth realm. The sea of ​​blood breeds the life spirit weapon. Killing the third realm is like slaughtering a dog. You are the only one who has this dog skin. Otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Yue suddenly burst out with golden and red blood, and rushed up with a three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand. With one move, he split mountains and cut off peaks, and killed the middle-aged man with red beard.

As expected of a fourth-level warrior, he reacted incredibly quickly, his blood and energy surged, and he summoned a scarlet fire knife filled with murderous aura and counterattacked.
