Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 25 Qilangqing County
After dinner, Jiang Yue took Xiaotian home and fell into a deep sleep under the warm new quilt.

I have to say that the new quilt is very comfortable. Jiang Yue slept very soundly and slept until noon the next day. This sleep cleared away all the tiredness and fatigue of so many days.

Jiang Yue just felt refreshed and full of energy.

After getting up and washing up, Jiang Yue put on his linen clothes and went out with Xiaotian. Today he planned to take the mountain road to Qing County to become a disciple of the Qimen Sect and learn the legendary martial arts training methods. That was why Jiang Yue was not in a hurry to use the five years in the panel.

Because they got up late today, when Jiang Yue took Xiaotian out, there were already many people in the village squatting at the doorway, weaving small items such as frames and stools. The hunting dogs were lazily lying beside their owners, basking in the sun.

Hunters would rest for four or five days each time they went into the mountains. When they had nothing to do, they would use vines and grass from the mountains to weave some basket frames, which they could sell at the market to supplement their family income.

When Jiang Yue walked by with Xiaotian, these hunting dogs acted as if they had seen some ferocious beast. They huddled behind their master with their tails between their legs and barked wildly at Xiaotian. No matter how the master tried to persuade them, they wouldn't stop.

"Hey, Erlang, I haven't seen you for a few days. Where did you find such a fierce dog?"

Zhao Qillang from the Zhao family came over and stopped Jiang Yue curiously.

Zhao Qilang's real name is Zhao Tiesheng. He, Jiang Yue and Wang Xiao are considered the iron triangle. However, after Zhao Qilang realized what kind of person Wang Xiao is, he and Wang Xiao gradually parted ways.

He also advised Jiang Yue not to get too close to Wang Xiao, but Jiang Yue was too stupid at the time. It was not until Wang Xiao brought people to ask for the bow that Jiang Yue came to his senses. After that, the two reconciled as before, and Zhao Qilang helped Jiang Yue from time to time, and the two had a close relationship.

Zhao Qilang helped Jiang Yue from time to time. When Jiang Cong paid the hunting tax last month, the ginseng in his hand was borrowed from Zhao Qilang.

However, Jiang Yue had just traveled through time and there were so many things to do that he forgot about it.

Now seeing Zhao Qilang, Jiang Yue's mind was filled with memories and he recalled everything.

"Seventh Brother, I picked it up in the mountains."

Jiang Yue smiled.

"Good luck."

Zhao Qilang looked at Xiaotian with envy on his face. "It's hard to get a fierce dog like this with 20 taels of silver. Erlang, you are really lucky!"

"Haha, who said otherwise."

Jiang Yue touched Xiaotian's head and said with a smile: "How is Seventh Brother doing recently?"

"Fortunately, I live off the land and make centipede baskets to sell to pharmacies, so I can make a living."

Zhao Qilang patted Jiang Yue on the shoulder and asked with concern: "How about you, Erlang? I see your grandfather's old illness has recurred recently, and your brother can't hunt anything. Do you have a way to pay the hunting tax next month? Winter is coming soon, save more food. If you don't have money to pay the tax, you can tell my brother, and I will help you think of a way."

"It's okay, Seventh Brother."

Jiang Yue pointed at Xiaotian who was squatting beside his legs and said, "With Xiaotian, we will get some gains when we go hunting in the mountains. Paying taxes will be no problem, and we should be able to survive the winter."

"That's good."

Zhao Qilang nodded: "Xiaotian, what a good name. With such a hunting dog, we will definitely get a lot in the mountains. But it is better to be careful and don't be greedy and lose your life. Recently, Wang Xiao, Wang Da and Wang Hu all died in the mountains. It is possible that the big insect has returned. We must be careful."

Jiang Yue was stunned when he heard this. He looked into the distance and saw white cloth fluttering in the wind at Wang Xiao's house at the east end of the village. He could faintly hear the crying of Wang's family members.

But Wang Xiaoke was not eaten by the big bug, he was killed by me. Jiang Yue complained in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface and nodded, "I know Seventh Brother, I will be careful."

"okay."

"."

After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Jiang Yue took Xiaotian and left the village.
-
After leaving the village, Jiang Yue did not take the official road, but went directly along the mountain road.

The reason is simple. Although the official road is straight and unobstructed, there are bandits who control the main roads and seek wealth and lives.

Although the mountain road is difficult to walk on and wild beasts are rampant, Jiang Yue can walk through the dangerous terrain as if it were flat ground, and Xiaotian can avoid the smell of those beasts, so the safety factor is very high.

"Qing County is named after Qingniuling in Funiu Mountain." Jiang Yue held the map he got from his grandfather in his hand and carefully identified the direction.

Although the mountain road to Qing County is difficult to travel, many hunters who enter the county take this road. As more people walk on it, the road becomes very obvious, so it is easy to find.

"Wang-"

Xiaotian barked and seemed very excited.

"Hmm? Xiaotian, have you ever walked this road?"

Jiang Yue and Xiaotian were on the same page and immediately understood what Xiaotian meant.

"Wang Wang-"

Xiaotian nodded, wagging his tail to lead Jiang Yue, and took a detour around the traditional mountain road, leading Jiang Yue through the mountains and forests.

Jiang Yue had a strong sense of direction, and he clearly felt that Xiaotian was taking a route that was closer to Qing County. There were only ups and downs along the way, no strange rocks or mountains, and no ferocious beasts, so it was very easy to walk on.

The man and the dog walked for two hours, covering fifty or sixty miles of mountain roads, until they reached a place where the sun was hanging in the sky, and came to a green mountain ridge that looked like a lying green ox. Looking down from the mountain ridge, they could see the ancient buildings stretching below, the majestic ancient city, and an endless stream of people and soldiers guarding the gate of the ancient county town.

"Qing County."

Jiang Yue rubbed Xiaotian's dog head happily: "I thought we would arrive in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to know the shortcut, Xiaotian."

"Wang-"

Xiaotian shouted excitedly.

"Good dog."

Jiang Yue comforted him, "Xiaotian, just wait for me here. Don't follow me into the city. When I come out, we'll go back together and hunt for food along the way."

Xiaotian was very obedient. He lay quietly in the mountains and didn't go anywhere.

In fact, Jiang Yue had heard that soldiers often made things difficult for people entering the county. If he brought Xiaotian into the county, Xiaotian would probably be abducted by the soldiers under various pretexts. After all, such fierce dogs are rare.

Jiang Yue climbed down the mountain and walked towards Qing County. Soon he blended into the crowd of people queuing.

"To enter the county, you need to pay a city wall donation, one hundred coins per person."

There was a notice posted next to the city gate, and four or five soldiers were standing at the gate, asking for money one by one. Only after paying the so-called city wall donation could one enter the city.

It costs one hundred coins to enter the county town, which really shocked Jiang Yue.

One hundred coins, in this chaotic era, if one is a little frugal and does not eat meat, is enough for an adult to eat for ten days to half a month.

It turns out that this is all it takes to get into the city.

Fortunately, there is no restriction on the time of entering the city. As long as you pay the money, you can stay in the county town as long as you want.

Jiang Yue was dressed as an ordinary hunter. Although he had a handsome appearance, his clothes were ordinary. He did not encounter any bloody plots. After paying the money, he entered the city smoothly.

The bluestone pavement of the main street was shining, with flags flying from the shops on both sides.

Guests are toasting each other in the tavern, the cloth shop is selling colorful silks and satins, the tailors are sewing quickly, the grocery store has a dazzling array of goods, and the street food stalls are filled with aromas.

The market was crowded with people, and the sound of bargaining could be heard everywhere.

"Hello, how do I get to Qimen General Store?"
