Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 146: Yunzhou Inspection
"Oh?"

"Are there any inspectors from Yunzhou?"

Jiang Yue exclaimed, a little puzzled, and asked: "But what can I do? What do we have to be afraid of?"

"It seems so."

Xiao Wu scratched his head in confusion, then came to his senses and said with a smile: "It seems so, sir, I just haven't seen the high officials from Yunzhou, so I'm a little too nervous. Yes, we have nothing to be afraid of, our nine counties are doing well now."

"Come on, take me to see him."

Jiang Yue smiled.

For the officials who came to inspect, it was basically time to reward them according to their merits, and Jiang Yue was in a good mood.

Xiaowu's broken arm has healed by now, and he just needs to recuperate and he will be fine.

These days, when Jiang Yue was free, he was also teaching the small flags martial arts, so Xiao Wu became more and more respectful to Jiang Yue and hurriedly took Jiang Yue to the yamen court.
-
Yuqing County Court.

Four officials from Yunzhou sat quietly waiting. One of them was from the Astronomical Patrol Department, one from the Political Department, one from the Water Department, and one from the Agricultural Department.

The reason for this trip was that all the officials of Huichun Prefecture jointly wrote a letter saying that Jiang Yue had quelled the floods in nine counties in just two months, and now the people are living in peace and happiness, and the people are prosperous. They wanted Yunzhou to promote Jiang Yue.

So we have the current situation. They inspected it and if it is true, Jiang Yue will probably be promoted step by step from now on.

However, they still had doubts about this achievement. After all, Jiang Yue handled it too quickly. Before, there was the incident of the Dragon Binding Rope in the Nine Counties. A chief patrol flagman could accomplish such a thing, which made the other patrol flagmen seem a little too rubbish.

"My Lords, Lord Jiang is here."

A small flagman hurried forward and informed several Yunzhou officials.

"Ah."

Everyone responded slightly, and soon they saw the tall Jiang Yue striding into the yamen court.

"My Lords, what are your names?"

Jiang Yue bowed in greeting with a smile on his face.

"Just call me Inspector Liu. This is Inspector Ma, Inspector Zhou, and Inspector Qin."

The leading Inspector Liu was the one from the political department. He briefly introduced himself.

At the same time, several inspectors were looking at Jiang Yue.

Seeing Jiang Yue walking with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, with a tall and handsome figure, heroic spirit between his brows, clear eyes, and no intention of dodging, several inspectors nodded secretly.

If there are any problems in the local area, officials will be very nervous when responding to inspections. However, people like Jiang Yue who are open and honest will basically have no deviation in the information they report.

"General Jiang's flag."

Inspector Liu of the Political Department smiled and said, "Time is tight, so we won't exchange pleasantries. I'd like to trouble General Jiang to accompany us and take us around the nine counties and all the villages and towns. We can see what's going on and report to the state."

"Well, that's great, let's go along the water."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "There are many water places in the Nine Counties. The good farmland, fishing and hunting derived from the water are enough for the people to live in peace and contentment. In addition, the water flows in all directions. A small boat is enough to travel around the Nine Counties."

"So good."

"Xiaowu, prepare the boats at Yuqing Lake. I will take you all to visit the nine counties."

"Yes, sir!"

Xiaowu ran out excitedly and rode on horseback to prepare for everything.

Seeing this, several inspectors showed strange expressions and nodded secretly in their hearts.

From Xiaowu's expression and the expressions of the few Xiaoqi who had just greeted them, they could tell that these people truly respected Jiang Yue from the bottom of their hearts.

As for when they came to Yuqing County, they also saw the corpses hanging on the city walls and the martial artists with frightened looks in their eyes. These were enough to prove that Jiang Yue's battle achievements were all true.

As for the achievements, you have to go to the fields and take a look in person.

"Inspectors, Yuqing Lake is inside the city. Let's go over there. The inspectors can also take a look at the city."

Jiang Yue smiled.

"Yeah, that's okay too."

The inspectors nodded slightly, followed Jiang Yue out of the government office, and followed Jiang Yue from the county to Yuqing Lake and into the bustling market.

"Master Jiang, are you going out?"

Not long after entering the market, a small vendor greeted Jiang Yue: "Would you like to try our freshly steamed buns? They are stuffed with mandarin fish and have no bones."

"Hahaha, give me some to try."

Jiang Yue laughed.

"okay!"

The vendor chuckled, wrapped ten buns and handed them to Jiang Yue.

"Okay, let's go and do a good job."

Jiang Yue patted the vendor on the shoulder, took out a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, then shared it with the four inspectors around him and continued walking forward.

"Oh? Jiang Zongqi, why don't you pay?"

Inspector Liu asked curiously.

"I helped him set up this stall."

Jiang Yue smiled and explained, "I gave them money before, but they refused to take it. I thought about it and decided to make them feel better. I took the food they gave me when they passed by, but I wouldn't take anything too expensive."

As Jiang Yue passed by a cloth shop, the shop owner called out in surprise, "Master Jiang, the silkworm farmers have started raising silkworms again recently, and they have received a lot of good cloth. Do you want to make some clothes?"

"Haha, Sister Zhou, save it to make full-month clothes for your boy."

Jiang Yue greeted him with a smile.

Several inspectors followed Jiang Yue, looking thoughtful.

After a while, the crowd passed through the market and several streets before arriving at the Yuqing Lake.

Xiaoqi and Xiaowu had already prepared a small boat and were waiting by the lake.

The four inspectors saw the wide canal as soon as they came into view.

The inspector from the Water Bureau bent down and put his hand into the water, felt it carefully for a while, and took his hand out, his eyes full of brilliance.

"Good plan."

The inspector of the Water Bureau praised: "There is an underground river under this lake. Could this canal be connected to the Huichun River? If so, the law at the lake eye alone will ensure that the land and water here will be safe for a hundred years!"

"Oh? It can actually ensure peace and tranquility for a hundred years?"

The Chief Secretary of the Political Department was surprised.

"good."

The head of the Water Department explained, "This talisman can drain water, store water, and resist drought and flood. It can also use the water system to check the vision of all aquatic animals in the nine counties. If an animal above the initial level appears, this talisman will record it and pass the information to the Water Department, so that we can make a free decision at that time."

"This is indeed good, and it is a good thing that will benefit the people."

The Chief Secretary of the Political Department sighed.

Several people boarded the boat, Xiaowu volunteered to row the boat, and everyone looked into the distance.

"The water system in the Nine Counties is very developed, with seven rivers and twelve lakes. After the construction of this canal, all places, big and small, can be connected through the water system."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "All the inspectors can just sit on the boat and take a closer look." "That's convenient."

Several inspectors nodded, sat in the boat, and looked quietly at the distant shore.

The boat was moving forward rapidly, and everything in the nine counties fell into the eyes of the inspectors, whether it was the farmers who were farming, the fishermen who were fishing in the water, or the newly built houses in the village, the porridge shelters for the disaster relief.
After strolling around for a whole day, the inspectors had a very in-depth understanding of the situation in the nine counties. Their attitudes towards Jiang Yue also softened and became unusually close.

After all, this matter has no problem. Jiang Yue has made great contributions and it will be no problem for him to rise to a high position in the future. They are still willing to establish a good relationship with Jiang Yue.

That night, after eating at the restaurant, everyone was arranged to sleep in the guest rooms around the court. They were not ready to set out until the next morning to return to the Yunzhou government office.

"General Jiang's flag."

Inspector Liu stood beside the horse, holding Jiang Yue's hand, and said with a smile: "We all know the situation in the nine counties. Next, we will tell the state lord the situation of the nine counties truthfully. You should receive a transfer order soon, but no one knows where to go."

"I see."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly.

"Well, just wait for good news, it will probably be soon."

Inspector Liu smiled, got on his horse, and said, "General Jiang, please go back quickly. There's no need to see you off. It's just the beginning of spring, and it's quite cold in late spring."

"Let's send a few adults out of the city."

Jiang Yue climbed onto the white dragon horse and escorted the patrol officers out of the city. He watched them disappear on the official road in the distance before returning.

As soon as I returned to the classroom, the little flags surrounded me.

"Is your Excellency going to get promoted and become rich?!"

Xiao Wu raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "With such a great achievement in the Nine Counties this time, I think you can surpass the position of Inspector and directly rush to the position of Patrol Captain."

"Who knows."

Jiang Yue smiled and shook his head, then scolded, "Hurry up and go on patrol, don't get in my way here."

"okay."

Xiao Wu chuckled, packed up his things, and went on patrol. As for the other small flags, they chatted with each other happily and then dispersed.

Jiang Yue was the only one left in the classroom.

"Divine Seal."

Jiang Yue called out softly in his heart.

Following his gaze, one can see a divine seal standing there. Light is flowing on the seal, converging into a panel with words flashing on it.

During the time of rebuilding the nine counties, Jiang Yue was not idle. He had killed all the intelligent water beasts in the water palace.

In addition, the Yu family also performed an opera, singing the story of Jiang Yue's governance of the nine counties. This time, Jiang Yue's Water God and Hunting God fate began to grow, but because of the emphasis, the hunting god fate increased the most.

The panel slowly opened, and Jiang Yue's personal information appeared on it.

【Erlang Divine Seal】

【Time: 720 years】

[Note: You can use up time to speed up the absorption of incense and vows, and improve your Shinto practice.]

In the panel, Jiang Yue’s three destinies have reached 90% progress and will be promoted again soon.

Especially the Hunting God Fate, which is now at the second level of white. If it is promoted again, it will probably be even more powerful.

After all, his destiny is one of killing, and the awakened supernatural powers are very powerful, such as hiding treasures and leading sheep, and avoiding disasters and seeking good fortunes, all of which are of great use.

Of course, Jiang Yue seldom uses the skill of seeking good fortune and avoiding danger now, mainly because he has mastered it to such an extreme that if there is a huge danger, he will have a sign in his mind, so he doesn't need to use bamboo sticks for divination all the time.

Unless faced with a major choice, Jiang Yuechun's spiritual perception brought by his ability to avoid danger and seek good fortune would be enough.

Once all three destinies are promoted, Jiang Yue's strength is expected to usher in a new wave of improvement.

In addition, during this nearly one month, Jiang Yue and Nong Si went to the farmland to check out whether they could stimulate the God of Farming's destiny, but it turned out that it did not.

Perhaps there are other conditions to stimulate the fate, which Jiang Yue needs to explore slowly. For the time being, he does not know the specific conditions.

As for the pet's life essence, it has increased to more than 900 and will soon be able to evolve.

The reason for the slow improvement was that Jiang Yue had kept most of the demon corpses and did not give them to his pets. He urgently needed the demon corpses to strengthen the Nine Revolutions Furnace to break through the realm and could not waste them to feed his pets.

After breaking through the shackles of the second realm, the demon's corpse can be eaten by beasts such as Xiaotian Xuntian.

But even without the demon corpses, increasing more than 500 points of life essence in just one month is not bad.

The two beasts, Xuntian and Xiaotian, have not yet reached the upper limit of their last evolution, so there is no need to rush. As for Baichuan and Xiaqi, they need too much life essence to evolve again, so there is no need to rush for the time being.

"Well, there are almost no problems with the waters of the Nine Counties. After I get promoted, I can ask Xia Qi to go to the Huichun River to help me search for treasures."

Jiang Yue was thinking in his mind.

Finally, he set his eyes on the magic weapon column.

This month he tried the remaining spiritual weapons again and gave them to the Mingwang Bow to absorb. The Mingwang Bow was unable to absorb them at first, but after half a month of nourishment by the qi and blood, the Mingwang Bow could suddenly begin to absorb the spiritual weapons, and they appeared on the panel.

This was a pleasant surprise for Jiang Yue.

This means that the spiritual weapons in his hands can be upgraded infinitely, and there is no need to replace them afterwards. He only needs to collect materials and continuously strengthen his weapons.

"And now, it's almost time to start Shinto practice."

Jiang Yue looked at the column about Shinto practice.

His current incense and vow power has reached 120 points, and he doesn't know whether it is more or less. He still needs to practice the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror before making a decision.

Now that everything is done, it’s time to start practicing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue muttered to himself.

"Divine Seal, consume a hundred years of time to deduce and strengthen the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror."

Then the panel of the divine seal changed, rays of light flowed, and the fonts were reorganized.

[Spend a hundred years to deduce and strengthen the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror]

[In progress]
