Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 125: Divide and eat

"Lu Yang."

Jiang Yue looked at Lu Yang who had just been promoted, and said with a serious face: "This time, Lord Yuan and I were transferred here to eliminate the demons, quell the floods, and let the people live in peace and contentment. These three things cannot be done without the assistance of you, the head of the Political Department."

“Sir, Lu Yang understands!”

Lu Yang nodded excitedly. Now he almost regarded Jiang Yue as his mentor and benefactor. His face was full of awe and gratitude. He hurriedly said, "If you want to know about the situation in the Nine Counties, you can ask me. Although Lu Yang was just an editor before, he grew up here and knows a lot about the situation in the Nine Counties. Just ask me, and Lu Yang will tell me everything he knows!"

Jiang Yue nodded with satisfaction.

As for Yuan Qinghuan, she was watching and listening attentively, as if she was learning Jiang Yue's ideas.

"Well, demons, floods, and peace seem to be three different things, but they are actually the same thing."

Jiang Yue said with emotion: "Only by eliminating the land monsters and water monsters can we divert the river mouth and solve the flood problem, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment in the future. Killing all the monsters is the most important first step. If you can't do the first step, there will be no rest. So, Lu Yang, tell me about the monster situation in the nine counties."

"Well, forget it. Let's first talk about the situation of demons in Yuqing County."

Jiang Yue took out a map and pointed to the Four-Tied Peak on it.

"My Lord, I know a lot about this, but it's mainly about the land-based monsters. Many of the water monsters have only recently arrived, so I'm not very clear about them."

Lu Yang said, "There are not many monsters that appear frequently around Yuqing County, but each of them has been entrenched here for decades. There is mainly a group of cattle monsters, a group of dog monsters, and a group of pig monsters. These three groups of monsters were once domesticated, but later they fled into the mountains and forests for some reason and multiplied and grew stronger."

"Well, are there only these three nests of demons?"

Jiang Yue asked curiously.

"Yes."

Lu Yang nodded and said, "There are only these three nests in the open. I don't know if there are any more in secret. After all, the forest is too big, and no one knows how many demons there are."

"Well, do you know the exact location of these three nests of demons?"

Jiang Yue continued to ask.

"do not know."

Lu Yang shook his head: "Once the Mountain Patrol Department sends strong men, these demons will immediately hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and no one will be able to find where their nests are."

After listening to Lu Yang's words, Jiang Yue nodded slightly to show that he understood.

"Tell me more about what's in the water."

Jiang Yue gestured.

Speaking of the monsters in the water, Yuan Qinghuan became interested and listened with his ears pricked up, quite curious.

Lu Yang said: "Sir, the monsters in the water are very particular. The monsters in the water may have learned the customs from the Dragon Palace. They like to establish themselves as gods and enjoy the incense and offerings from the people. They let the people sacrifice boys and girls. But to be honest, these monsters in the water really eat people, so many people are superstitious. It can be said that they are very difficult to deal with."

"As for these water monsters, one is Lord White, who controls Yuqing Lake. According to legend, he is a white snake that has become a spirit. He is still in charge. He eats a pair of boys and girls every year. This year he ate more and asked for five pairs. The other is Lord Black, who is an old black turtle that has become a spirit. He controls the section of the river that passes through Yuqing County. However, after the Dragon God defected, the ruins in the water rushed out, and many water monsters gathered here, and the old black turtle disappeared."

After saying this, Lu Yang stopped talking. It was obvious that these were all he knew.

"understood."

Jiang Yue pointed to Yuqing County on the map and said in a majestic voice, "If you want to keep Yuqing County stable, you must first eliminate the demons. The demons in the water are not easy to clear out, so start with the land and kill all the demons on land first. I will go outside the city to look for them tomorrow."

"My lord, you must not do that!"

Lu Yang quickly waved his hand to refuse, and said hastily: "Sir, the bull demon you killed is the offspring of the old bull demon. Among the three groups of demons, the bull demon and the dog demon are the most vengeful and will never let go of any grudge. If you leave the city, you may be ambushed."

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Yue waved his hand: "I have also thought carefully about the issue of Yuqing County colluding with demons. To put it bluntly, the demons are still afraid of the Patrol Department. If I really anger the Patrol Department and send out masters from the fifth and sixth realms, it will be useless even if they hide deep in the Manniu Ridge. These demons dare not kill me."

"what?"

The people of Luyang were dumbfounded.

Many mountain patrol chiefs have died in office, and until now the Sky Patrol Department has not sent out the so-called strong men of the fifth and sixth realms. These demons actually don't have much fear for the Sky Patrol Department anymore.

Lu Yang opened his mouth and wanted to explain something.

However, Jiang Yue saw the whereabouts of the bull monster through the perspective of the sky survey and stood up suddenly.

"Oh? You're slaughtering refugees in broad daylight. Are you protesting against me?"

Jiang Yue slammed the table and stood up, saying in a cold voice: "Lu Yang, wait here, I will go out and kill these bull monsters first."

"My lord, you can't do this!"

Lu Yang wanted to persuade Jiang Yue to take things slow, but his small body was no match for Jiang Yue. He could only watch Jiang Yue walk away.

Finally, Lu Yang gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and followed.

Yuan Qinghuan thought about it and followed Jiang Yue.

In this way, the three men and the dog left the government office and rode their horses at full speed toward the outside of the city.
-
Outside Yuqing County, there are many refugee groups.

These refugees were residents of towns and villages surrounding Yuqing County. Their homes had been submerged by floods, their family members had all died, and the only people who survived could do so were the ones who walked towards Yuqing County.

If he could enter Yuqing County, he might be able to survive by relying on the porridge provided by the rich families.

There was puddles of water everywhere outside the city. The refugees were walking barefoot in the mud, with numbness in their eyes and endless hunger in their stomachs.

A sturdy bull demon with a bull's head and a human body, more than three meters tall, stepped on the mud and walked quietly into the middle of the refugee group.

The refugees were all indifferent and numb.

Just when escaping from the flood, they had seen too many monsters with bloody mouths. Now they were exhausted, hungry, and with the death of their family members, they were all numb.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

The bull demon asked in surprise, his voice very low.

No one answered the bull demon's question, the refugee group just walked quietly.

"Asshole, how dare you ignore me!"

The bull demon grabbed a thin refugee and started biting him. The refugee screamed in pain.

The bull demon was satisfied only after hearing the screams.

The other refugees also showed an instinctive fear and took a few steps back. They wanted to escape but found that they were already exhausted and could only walk slowly.

Crunchy——

The bull demon sat in the mud, holding the refugee and chewing it non-stop, making a bone-crunching sound from time to time.

While eating, he enjoyed the frightened looks around him.

But gradually, he found that the frightened looks disappeared, and the refugees were all looking behind him.

A chill rose from behind the bull monster. He hurriedly turned around and caught a glimpse of a tall horse galloping towards him in the distance. On the horse was a heroic young man, waving a giant weapon in his hand, and slashing towards him with a strong golden energy and blood.

The Bull Demon's soul was surging, and he quickly dodged. But the knife was faster!
The bull demon didn't even have time to scream before it was split in half from the middle, with its internal organs spilling all over the ground.

【Time + 70 years】

【Time: 945 years】

"Another third-level bull demon. This litter of yellow cattle is really worth a lot."

Jiang Yue smiled coldly.

For him, this place is much more convenient than in the mountains. He doesn't have to look for the demons, they will come to him on their own.

"Wang Wang Wang-"

Xiaotian suddenly started barking wildly and started to attack the bull monster's internal organs.

"Oh?"

Seeing this, Jiang Yue dismounted, moved the tip of his knife slightly, and began to search among the bull monster's internal organs. After a while, he found a fist-sized stone, which looked like a pebble, but it was shining with a light yellow luster.

"This is bezoar, a very tonic substance. All the blood, flesh and essence of the cattle monster are contained in it."

Yuan Qinghuan behind him caught up and looked at Jiang Yue with a hint of awe in his eyes.

Witnessing Jiang Yue killing the three realms of demons with my own eyes, I felt it was as easy as drinking water and eating. No wonder he acted so domineeringly.

"Bezoar?"

Jiang Yue was delighted and put the ox gallstones into his Qiankun bag.

This thing is just like the remains of the Demon Saint and many precious medicines. If it is accumulated, and when the time comes, it will be absorbed all at once and its strength will be greatly increased. Jiang Yue will naturally not let it go.

As for the remains of the bull demon on the ground, Jiang Yue took a look at these refugees and already had an idea in his mind.

"My fellow citizens, I am Jiang Yue, the newest chief of the mountain patrol."

Jiang Yue introduced himself, and then said directly: "Follow me into the city, there will be food to eat."

Just the three words "having food to eat" made the victims remember Jiang Yue's name.

The victims followed Jiang Yue and walked towards the city. There were more than a thousand people in the long line.

Lu Yang woke up as if from a dream, and hurriedly said: "Sir, with so many disaster victims, I'm afraid our government can't afford to provide food."

"It's okay. The monsters are full of flesh and blood. We can make meat porridge for the victims."

Jiang Yue waved his hand.

"My lord, you must not do that!"

Lu Yang hurriedly said, "Sir, the victims are too weak to be nourished. If the three-level demons take a bite, their qi and blood will flow backwards and they will die on the spot!"

"I have my own medicine to neutralize it."

Jiang Yue smiled.

He was familiar with the medicinal properties of various common medicinal herbs, and used them to dilute the essence of the bull demon's flesh and blood.

Just like the beef in beef noodles, just a little bit is enough for the victims to survive.

As for medicinal herbs and the like, Jiang Yue naturally wouldn't pay for them himself. All of the Lu family's property had been confiscated, so he could just take it from here.

Jiang Yue rode on a white dragon horse, with a cow carcass on the tip of his spear, and paraded through the streets, followed by more than a thousand disaster victims.

Many people were alarmed by the scene and gathered on both sides of the street to watch.

"Master Jiang has killed another demon, and it's even bigger than the one yesterday!"

"Master Jiang is mighty!"

"It seems that Lord Jiang is really confident. Before, the Patrol Chief didn't dare to fart when facing these bull monsters. Even Yuan Qinghai didn't dare to compete with them."

"With Lord Jiang, perhaps our Yuqing County will really get better."

When the people saw Jiang Yue carrying the demon so boldly, hope suddenly rose in their hearts.

The group of disaster victims followed Jiang Yue to the outside of the government court, and then stopped.

"Wait here for the porridge to be served."

Jiang Yue said a soothing word, and quickly walked into the government hall. He took out a pen and paper, wrote down a prescription, handed it to Lu Yang, and instructed: "According to this prescription, cut the meat from the bull monster's body into small pieces and stew them all in the soup. One bowl of soup can boil 100 kilograms of beef. At that time, each person will have three thin slices of beef the size of a fingernail and a bowl of soup. As for the medicinal materials, take them directly from those confiscated by the Lu family. If you don't have them, use the Lu family's wealth to exchange them."

Lu Yang took the prescription and took a look at it. He felt that the medicinal properties could really dilute the bull demon's blood. He couldn't help but admire Jiang Yue's wisdom.

But what amazed him more was Jiang Yue's vision and courage.

The Lu family is a wealthy family in Yuqing County. They have accumulated wealth over many years, so it must be more than tens of thousands of taels.

Any other patrol commander would not let it go so easily, but Jiang Yue didn't even have the interest to embezzle it. From beginning to end, he never showed any intention of embezzling it. Instead, he went straight to kill a demon.

"Who can be so uninterested in the Lu family's wealth?"

Lu Yang sighed, looked at Jiang Yue with awe, and hurriedly went to tell people to do things.

He acted decisively and without any procrastination, and he was extremely efficient, without any double-faced disobedience to Jiang Yue.

Only half an hour later, a stall was set up in front of the government hall, and the aroma of hot beef soup filled the air.

If there was no Lu Yang, or if Yuan Qinghai and others were not dead, where would the Lu family's wealth come from to help the victims? Or even if there was Lu family wealth, Yuan Qinghai, Qiongyuan and others would never let Jiang Yue use the wealth to help the victims so smoothly.

This is the benefit of Jiang Yue taking control of both the civil and military halls as soon as he arrives.

In Yuqing County, he has the final say and no one dares to go against his will, which makes things much easier.

The yamen runners and clerks stood in the shed, scooping out bowls of slightly cooled beef soup for the victims, strictly adhering to the three-slice beef principle mentioned by Jiang Yue.

Although the beef soup was a little cooler, it was just not boiling hot. It still felt warm when it went into the stomach. Moreover, this was the broth made by the third-level demon. Even after being diluted, drinking it could replenish essence and allow the body to recover quickly.

One bowl of soup is enough for the victims to survive for seven or eight days. If they drink this third-level demon meat soup every day, they can even go from skinny to strong.

As for the third-level demon, its flesh and blood could sustain the needs of more than a thousand disaster victims for seven or eight days. If the demon was sold for money, it would probably be worth a hundred taels of silver, but Jiang Yue didn't want any of it and gave it directly to the people.

Lu Yang was truly impressed by Jiang Yue, and he volunteered to act as a minor official and provide meat soup to the people.

Yuan Qinghuan looked at Jiang Yue curiously, because she heard that Jiang Yue was born into a poor hunter family, but she didn't expect that he could do it without even looking at ten thousand taels of silver.
"My fellow citizens, this soup is not for nothing!"

Jiang Yue stood at the entrance of the yamen court and spoke loudly.

Upon hearing this, the victims all looked at Jiang Yue, their eyes full of curiosity.

Jiang Yue continued, "When we control the flood, we need to dig canals. After the flood recedes, we need to rebuild our homes. You will all need to contribute. I can assure you that anyone who comes to work will have a full stomach every day in the future!"
