Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

Chapter 64: Dragon and Phoenix among men
"Okay, see you on the 14th."

Jiang Yue nodded slightly and left with the silver.

After buying the bow, he was left with only nine taels and two cents of silver. Later, he got two taels from the corpse, and today he got one tael and two cents from selling animal skins.

The total amount of silver he had on him was twelve taels and two cents.

There is less than a week left until November 15th, and Jiang Yue has to prepare for the bandit suppression in advance.

After many twists and turns, Jiang Yue came to the blacksmith shop in Qingyang Town and met Shi Lei.

"Brother Jiang."

Shi Lei saw Jiang Yue come in and was surprised to find that Jiang Yue no longer looked sick.

As a disciple of Hu Yunlong, he naturally had broad vision. He could see at a glance that Jiang Yue had now mastered the Tiger Walking Posture to perfection, returning to his original simplicity and doing whatever he wanted.

Only those with extraordinary talent, perseverance, and the ability to immerse themselves in practice for years can reach this level!
In Shi Lei's impression, the only ones who have reached this level are his grandmaster, his own master Hu Yunlong, and several uncles.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yue also reached this state of returning to nature!

But how long has Jiang Yue been practicing?
It’s been less than half a month since I last saw Jiang Yue!
With such talent, it is no exaggeration to say that he is a rare talent among men.

"Brother Jiang, you really opened my eyes."

Shi Lei said in amazement: "The last time I saw you comprehend the charm of the spirit, I was already astonished. Now it seems that I have a low vision. You can actually practice the Tiger Posture to the state of returning to the original state."

"Brother Shi, thank you for the compliment."

Jiang Yue waved his hand. He knew what was going on and changed the subject: "Brother Shi, I came here to ask if you have an eight-stone bow?"

"Eight stone bow?"

Shi Lei was stunned and looked Jiang Yue up and down.

After practicing the Tiger Posture and breaking through the flesh barrier, it seems that one has the strength to draw an eight-stone bow.

"Brother Jiang, have you already broken through the flesh barrier?"

Shi Lei asked in surprise.

"Brother Shi has good taste." Jiang Yue did not deny it.

"Brother Jiang is very talented."

Shi Lei's eyes flashed with melancholy, and he said in a muffled voice: "Back then, I broke through the flesh barrier, but it took me half a year to practice. I was also proud of it for a long time and often boasted about it. Now in front of Brother Jiang, I really feel ashamed of myself!"

The so-called talent, on the one hand, is based on the three steps of practice: limit, recovery, and improvement. If one has extraordinary performance in any step, it can be regarded as a gifted person, and one can improve his strength much faster than ordinary people.

The other aspect is the understanding, which is to learn the methods of refining, killing and nurturing.

In Shi Lei's opinion, Jiang Yue was born a hunter, and he has never seen Jiang Yue go to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Resources are scarce, but he can still improve so quickly. It is estimated that Jiang Yue has a special physique, different from ordinary people.

"Brother Jiang, I don't have an eight-stone bow. After all, there are only a few people in Qingyang Town who can use an eight-stone bow."

Shi Lei smiled and said, "You have to go to the county's main store to buy it. It costs about 40 taels of silver."

"Forty taels?"

Jiang Yue widened his eyes.

Forty taels of silver was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Well, the more powerful the bow, the better the materials needed, so the higher the price."

Shi Lei explained: "In the future, the cost will be much higher for every stone higher bow strength. But fortunately, with Brother Jiang's ability, he can save up money for a month and get it."

"That's true."

Jiang Yue sighed and said, "But I need it urgently."

"When will Brother Jiang need you?"

"The fifteenth of this month."

"Fifteen? Is it about suppressing bandits?"

"Yes."

"Well, let me write a letter to Brother Jiang. The general store should be able to lend him an eight-stone bow temporarily, and then return it later."

"How can this be good? Isn't this..." Jiang Yue subconsciously wanted to refuse.

"Brother Jiang."

Shi Lei interrupted Jiang Yue and said with a smile: "Weapon Sect can lend out weapons, but it requires a guarantee from a direct disciple of the Weapon Sect. I will be your guarantor, so you can borrow it."

At this point, Shi Lei half-jokingly said: "But Brother Jiang, you must protect this precious bow. If it is damaged, I will be punished."

"call"

Jiang Yue took a deep breath and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Brother Shi. I will definitely return it in good condition."

"Okay, then I will write a guarantee document for Brother Jiang."

Shi Lei looked like a big and strong man, but it turned out that he could recognize words!

Not only can he recognize words, but he can also write very beautifully.

You have to know that even Jiang Yue, who had received compulsory education, did not recognize the characters in this world and could only understand the meaning based on the original owner's memory.

"This is a problem. If I gain some magical power in the future, I won't be able to practice it if I can't read."

Jiang Yue looked at Shi Lei writing with a brush and stroked his chin.

However, he has too many things to do, so he can only take it step by step and gain a firm foothold in this world first.

"Okay, Brother Jiang, just take this letter and give it to my master."

Shi Lei handed the envelope to Jiang Yue and said with a smile: "Grandmaster will be back before the New Year. I guess Master will accept you as his disciple by then. We will be real brothers."

"Haha, I hope so."
-
In Funiu Village, smoke rises from cooking fires.

The ruins of the completely burned houses have been cleared away, most of which are Wang's houses.

The houses of other villagers were also burned down to varying degrees, but have now been almost repaired.

Tigers roared in the mountains, and the hunters could not go into the mountains. They stayed at home during the day to repair their houses, and the progress was very fast.

There were a lot more wood in front of Jiang Yue's house, and there were also straight lines made of sawdust, which seemed to be used to mark the land. The elders of the Zhao and Zhou families and seven or eight young men were discussing how to expand the house in front of Jiang Yue's door.

Old man Jiang Cong was also discussing this. When they saw Jiang Yue coming back, everyone instantly quieted down and looked at Jiang Yue.

There was awe in the eyes of the young and strong men.

"Jiro is back!"

Jiang Cong smiled and said, "Come here quickly, the elders are discussing how to expand your home."

"Erlang."

The elder of the Zhao family laughed and said, "All the Wang family members are dead, and their houses have all been burned down. There is a large piece of vacant land, and you can expand your house. You can see how to make it more suitable. We have a few suggestions."

Jiang Yue listened to the words of the Zhao family elder and thought in his heart.

No matter how big the house in the mountain village is, it is of little use. However, this is the ancestral land and he will probably live in the village for a long time, so it is necessary to expand it.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yue said, "Everyone, let's open a large courtyard next to it, put up some wooden stakes for martial arts training, and then build a doghouse and an eagle's nest, divide it into two areas, and make a place to raise horses."

Jiang Yue didn't get polite with the young men in Funiu Village. It was important to be straightforward when dealing with these hunters.

"OK, no problem!"

A young and strong man shouted, "Second brother, do you have any other requests? This is too easy, it can be done in one day."

Jiang Yue took a look and found that this man was the fifth son of the Zhao family, older than Zhao Qi, and now he actually called him "Second Brother".

"Second brother, we finally found some places with good feng shui to build houses, but you ended up using it as a place to raise animals. What a pity."

"Yes, how about we build three more rooms for you? You have to get married in a few years."

"Three rooms probably won't be enough. After I get married, I need to have children. Five rooms is better. I can't have all the children squeezed into one room."

The young and strong men were talking about it, and they were eager to immediately build all these vacant places into Jiang Yue's house.

"That's all."

Jiang Yue hurriedly stopped him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
