Chapter 131 Shuangmu Mountain Recruitment Conference
Phew!
Lin Ye exhaled a breath, and this breath turned into a sharp arrow, shooting towards the stone wall in front of him, leaving an arrow hole about a foot in size on the wall.
After being trapped in the Bailu realm for so long, this time he finally broke through to the Jingzhe realm.
It is indeed the purest dragon vein energy in the world.
Lin Ye glanced at the rubble rolling around him. The formation had been destroyed by him, and the dragon vein energy underground was no longer locked. The entire dragon vein had begun to shift.
From a certain perspective, the people of Shangyang City have to pay for the sins committed by this old man.
When the dragon vein moves, the nearby Shangyang County will naturally be affected . You must know that the dragon vein energy gives birth to all things, naturally including humans.
A place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.
The combination of outstanding people and spiritual land has already explained that the so-called spiritual land refers to the local feng shui.
"Let's go."
Lin Ye did not stay in this tomb for too long. He had been AFK for quite a long time this time, and he was afraid that the old man would attack him while he was AFK, so he just teleported back to the modern era to get food, and he stayed in this tomb the whole time.
"Take me, take me."
Tai Sui, who had finally crawled out from under the big rock, squirmed his little body and tried to catch up with Lin Ye and Huang Niu.
Lin Ye glanced at Tai Sui and went straight forward to grab it. He didn't know whether he was grabbing the head or the tail. Tai Sui was just a lump of flesh and it was impossible to tell the head from the tail.
After leaving the tomb, Lin Ye signaled the scalper to fill the hole until nothing could be seen from the surface. Now the area below really became the old man's tomb.
After staying in this tomb for so many days, my brother must be getting anxious.
Thinking of Daohai, Lin Ye quickened his pace and headed straight for his own house in the city.
"Oh, sir, you are back."
In the courtyard, Aunt Ge was sitting on the steps in the front yard. When she saw Lin Ye appear, she ran over excitedly.
"Well, I'm back."
"May the City God bless you, young master, and you are back. Master Daohai and Butler Xu were very worried during your disappearance. Master Daohai has been looking for you for several days, but you haven't come back yet. Butler Xu also comes back at midnight every day and goes out to look for you at dawn."
"My senior brother hasn't been back for a few days?"
"That's right. Master Daohai hasn't been home for several days. Butler Xu wanted to report it to the police, but Master Daohai stopped him and said it was useless."
Lin Ye understood Dao Hai's approach. He was a warrior and a cultivator. If something happened to him, reporting to the police would not be of much use.
"But before Master Daohai left, he went to the City God Temple. It seems that the City God has blessed us. Where have you been these days, young master?"
Aunt Ge was very concerned. As a servant, it was actually overstepping her authority to ask such a question.
However, Lin Ye is a modern man and does not have a strong concept of master-servant. He is very respectful to Uncle Xu and Aunt Ge. As for Aunt Ge, she has worked as a cook in many families, and Master Lin is the best boss.
Not only does her monthly salary increase every year, she also receives a big red envelope at the end of the year. Besides, there are not many people at home, so her job is very easy.
"I was leading the ox out of the city and accidentally fell into a cave. It was all this beast's fault."
Lin Ye gave a big bag to the yellow cow beside him. The yellow cow mooed to express its dissatisfaction, but its eyes showed an expression of enjoyment.
I almost forgot, this guy is enjoying being beaten now.
Seeing the yellow cow's expression, Lin Ye asked Aunt Ge to lead the yellow cow to the backyard. As for Tai Sui...
"Sir, this is the meat you bought from the butcher shop. I have never seen this kind of meat before. Is it going to be cooked tonight?" Aunt Ge asked curiously when she saw Lin Ye throwing the Tai Sui onto the ox's back.
Lin Ye: ...
Tai Sui: "Don't cook me, don't cook me..."
"A monster!"
Aunt Ge was frightened. Seeing this, Lin Ye comforted her, "Auntie, don't be afraid. This little guy won't hurt anyone."
Lin Ye explained to Aunt Ge that he and Huang Niu were able to climb out of the cave thanks to Tai Sui, and Aunt Ge's attitude changed immediately.
"He is the savior of the young master, so he must be a good monster."
The people in the other world had more or less heard some rumors about monsters. After all, they lived in such a world. And after hearing that Tai Sui was Lin Ye's savior, Aunt Ge was not afraid of Tai Sui but was very respectful to him.
Let Tai Sui play with the yellow cow in the backyard, while Lin Ye walked towards the City God Temple.
Aunt Ge felt that it was her senior brother Daohai who went to the City God Temple to ask for blessings from the City God, and that the City God blessed her to return safely. But she knew in her heart that her senior brother definitely did not go to the City God Temple to ask for blessings from the City God, after all, the City God was killed by their fellow brothers.
It was obvious that my senior brother had other reasons for going to the City God Temple.
Lin Ye arrived at the City God Temple. Because of the thunder, there were very few incense sticks in the temple, and it was very deserted.
No common people came to burn incense, only two ghost messengers stood guarding the door.
"Stop now!"
The two ghost messengers also sensed the aura of a cultivator on Lin Ye, and one of them shouted.
"Where is Yang Jian?" Lin Ye asked directly.
"How dare you! How dare you address Lord Yang by his name?"
Hearing Lin Ye calling Yang Jian by his name, the two ghost messengers flew into a rage. Lin Ye was stunned for a moment. Wasn't Yang Jian already the City God? Why was he still calling him "Sir"?
But after thinking about it, Lin Ye understood.
Cultural characteristics.
Many cultures in the other world are similar to those in China. Yang Jian is no longer the City God, just like many officials being dismissed and transferred from their original positions. To the people below, the leader is still the leader, and maybe he will be promoted again one day.
In addition, even if you are transferred, you should still be referred to by your original title. This is called social etiquette.
The two ghost messengers glared at Lin Ye and seemed ready to attack. At this moment, a ghost messenger walked out of the City God Temple. He was obviously disturbed by the noise outside. However, when he saw Lin Ye's appearance clearly, his expression changed instantly and he quickly scolded him, "You bastard, how dare you talk to Master Lin like that?"
Lin Ye looked at this ghost messenger. He was an old acquaintance. He followed Yang Jian. When Yang Jian was the City God, this man seemed to be the leader of the ghost messengers.
"Master Lin, these two are new here and don't know you. Don't bother with them. Why don't you apologize to Master Lin?"
Lu Zheng gave the two Yinchai a look. Although they were somewhat reluctant, they still apologized to Lin Ye.
"Mr. Lin, you are here to look for Lord Yang, right? Lord Yang has gone to inspect the towns below. I will send someone to inform Lord Yang right now. Please wait in the temple for a while."
"Um."
Lin Ye nodded and walked into the City God Temple with his hands behind his back. Lu Zheng felt cold sweat coming out on his forehead and he wiped it away.
"Master Lu, who is this? I see your attitude?"
Lu Zheng glared at the two ghost messengers. These two guys were newcomers, specially recruited by the adults to deal with the ghost market, and they didn’t know many things.
"I'm telling you two, when you're on duty in Shangyang County, you must never offend this Mr. Lin, or you'll die without knowing why."
As Yang Jian's confidant, Lu Zheng naturally would not publicize the ugly deeds of his master, nor would he tell the two newcomers that his master was brought down by this person.
And the reason why he was panicking was not just because of this. As the adult's confidant, he learned something from the adult.
Judge Cui from the county town was killed.
It is said that the perpetrators were two extremely powerful men. Although one of them had his face covered, it could be determined from his bald head that he was a monk.
The other one is called Hu Jun.
But the adults privately judged that it was most likely Lin Ye and the monk with a face full of flesh.
Although these two men should not be a match for Judge Cui based on their strength, the lord added that Lin Ye was extremely evil and could not be viewed with common sense, so it was very likely that these two had done it.
The reason why the lord came to this conclusion, besides the fact that his figure matched the requirements, was also because Young Master Lin happened to have gone to the county town at that time.
Coincidence plus coincidence can no longer be a coincidence.
However, the adults also reminded him that this was just his private speculation and was not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world.
Lu Zheng had great faith in his master, which made him even more afraid of Master Lin. His master had lost his position as City God, and now even Judge Cui had fallen into his hands. This Master Lin was simply the nemesis of their underworld.
Such a person must never be offended.
In the backyard of the City God Temple, Lu Zheng personally made tea for Lin Ye, and Yang Jian arrived soon after.
"Mr. Lin, where have you been during this period? It took us a long time to find you."
Hearing what Yang Jian said, Lin Ye smiled. If he disappeared, Senior Brother Daohai might go back to look for him, or even go to Miaoying Temple to ask someone to help look for him, but it would be too fake to say that Yang Jian also looked for him.
I guess Yang Jian wishes he would never show up again.
"Old Yang, that's not true. I came here to ask you why my brother came to the City God Temple?"
The corner of Yang Jian's mouth twitched. This Lin Ye really didn't say a word of politeness at all.
"Master Daohai came to the City God Temple to borrow the City God Seal to find your whereabouts, Master Lin. However, I am no longer the City God, so I cannot use the City God Seal."
At this point, Yang Jian asked tentatively: "Actually, I am a little confused as to why Master Daohai wants to use the City God Seal to find Master Lin. Although Master Lin lives in Shangyang County, he has only been here for a short time, and the City God Seal is difficult to find."
Lin Ye smiled. Old Yang was playing tricks on him.
Outsiders may not know that Judge Cui of the county city has died and the City God Seal has been lost, but Old Yang, as a member of the underworld, certainly knows about it.
I have the City God Seal on my body, and as long as the distance between the City God Seals is not too far, they can sense each other. My senior brother wants to find me through the induction between the City God Seals.
"So where did my brother go later?"
"Master Daohai left the City God Temple and headed out of the city. Judging from the direction he went, he should be heading towards Shuangmu Mountain."
Binocular Mountain.
Lin Ye's eyes narrowed. Isn't that the mountain range that was originally governed by the mountain king?
Understood.
Senior Brother Daohai was afraid that he would be ambushed by his enemies, and his only enemies in the other world were the monsters in Shuangmu Mountain.
Knowing the whereabouts of his senior brother, Lin Ye did not waste time in the City God Temple. He got up and left.
Yang Jian looked at Lin Ye's departing back, his eyes flickering, and stroked his beard, saying, "It seems that my guess was correct. The one who killed Judge Cui was indeed this guy. The City God Seal on his body has a unique aura that others cannot detect, but I can sense a little bit of it."
As the former City God, Yang Jian was naturally very familiar with the aura of the City God Seal. If he was far away, he would not be able to detect it, but he deliberately got close to Lin Ye and could feel the aura emanating from the City God Seal.
What puzzled him was how Lin Ye killed Judge Cui. Judge Cui's strength was even greater than his. With Lin Ye and Dao Hai, it was reasonable that they could not be a match for Judge Cui.
What he learned was that Judge Cui even chose to self-destruct in order to protect the City God Temple and not to implicate others.
Only when facing a powerful person who is much stronger than himself would he commit self-destruction. This is something he couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried.
…
…
Shuangmu Mountain!
The monster-catching conference is held every few years!
Several monsters transformed into human form set up a monster-catching stall at the foot of the mountain.
It's just very deserted.
"Hey, it's been half a day and no monster has come yet."
"In previous years, the recruitment would have been full by this time, and ordinary monsters would not be qualified."
An old demon who had experienced the previous session had a look of emotion in his eyes, saying that the former glory of Shuangmu Mountain no longer existed.
"We can't help it. The tiger is gone. We in Shuangmu Mountain are now in a situation where a tiger is trapped in plain land and is bullied by dogs. We are all opportunists."
The monsters in Shuangmu Mountain were complaining that they were the ones who picked on others in the past, but now it was others' turn to pick on them.
But even so they still have to summon monsters.
They monsters also have territories divided, and Shuangmu Mountain is the largest mountain range nearby, with the richest resources. In the past, when the Shanjun clan was there, other monster forces didn't dare to covet Shuangmu Mountain. But the Shanjun clan was killed by the monks of Miaoying Temple, and now Shuangmu Mountain is a piece of fat meat in the eyes of other monsters around.
If you want to defend Shuangmu Mountain, you have to recruit more monsters. But those monsters who haven't joined the forces yet are not fools. If they join Shuangmu Mountain at this time, they may have to go to the battlefield in the near future. It is better to join the surrounding monster forces and attack Shuangmu Mountain at that time. You can get the territory after conquering it.
"I guess we can't recruit any more, let's go up the mountain."
As it was getting dark, the monsters were preparing to pack up and go up the mountain, but then they heard a cow mooing not far away, and then a yellow cow appeared in front of them.
"The untransformed bull demon."
Several monsters' eyes lit up. If they couldn't use this trick, they wouldn't be able to complete their mission and would be punished if they went up the mountain. Although this yellow cow had not transformed, it was still a monster and could be used to make up the number.
"Little brother Huang Niu, come here."
The old demon walked forward with a smile and pulled the yellow cattle to the front of the stall.
"We are recruiting soldiers in Shuangmu Mountain now. I don't need to introduce what Shuangmu Mountain means. It is the holy land of us monsters. If it were any other time, you wouldn't be able to join. But I think you have a chance, so I'll open a back door for you and take you up the mountain today."
The ox listened to the old demon's words and shook its head.
"What? You're still not willing? Let me tell you, this is a great opportunity. In human terms, if you miss this opportunity, you'll miss it forever."
Moo!
The yellow cow exhaled from its nose, and then used its hooves to scratch the ground in a crooked pattern.
"Once you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again... It's the same thing. The meaning is the same. Not bad. You haven't transformed yet, but you know a lot about humans."
The scalper continued to write...
"You still have some stuff at home, quite a lot...Okay, I'll go back with you to get it."
The old demon patted the scalper's head and breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally complete the task and go back to report.
