Volume 2 Demon Ridge Jingyanggang Chapter 70 Lu · Detective · City God
When asked by City God Lu, Wang Liang quickly pointed to the nearby area and said, "The body of the demon tiger is there."
Lu Chenghuang looked in the direction Wang Liang pointed, and his attention was instantly attracted by the two fragments of the token on the ground.
"that is?"
Many thoughts flashed through Lu Chenghuang's mind.
Like Wang Liang and others, as a member of the Shinto system, Lu Chenghuang has his own sources of information and perceptions.
When he saw the two pieces of token fragments, he could already feel the aura on the token dissipating.
Although that breath carried a hint of demonic energy, there was also some Tiangang star energy hidden underneath.
This situation can be seen at a glance. The demon tiger used Jingyanggang to refine a mountain god token, preparing to ascend to the position of evil mountain god. The talented Taoist friend here used all his magic power, prayed to the gods, and used the righteous energy of Tiangang to break the demon tiger's natal magic weapon, which was this mountain god token, and finally killed the demon tiger.
After all, judging from the scene, it was because his own magic weapon exploded that the demon tiger could not control his own power and exploded as well.
No wonder Wang Liang looked like he had lost all his strength. This battle must have been quite thrilling.
Thinking of this, Lu Chenghuang's gaze towards Wang Liang changed again.
It is rare to find a master who can call upon the power of Starlight Heavenly Gang in this dynasty. It seems that there will be one more Heavenly Master in the court.
No, before that, I must make a name for my talented fellow Taoist.
Lu Chenghuang thought about it and said quickly, "So the monster tiger is dead. Taoist Duocai has eliminated a great threat to Yanggu County. I must ask for credit for Taoist Duocai."
"What do you mean by asking for credit?"
As soon as Lu Chenghuang finished speaking, several war horses rushed out nearby, carrying General Hua and several of his men.
However, the person who spoke was not General Hua, but the magistrate of Yanggu County. At this time, he was being protected by a soldier and riding on a warhorse.
It can be seen from his messy clothes that he suffered a lot along the way.
"County Magistrate Wu, come and see. Just now, Taoist Duocai summoned the Heavenly Star Qi and killed the demon tiger, eliminating a great threat to Yanggu County. We should commend him for his achievements."
Before Magistrate Wu could say anything, Wang Liang was standing beside him, his hair disheveled in the wind.
What do you mean I should invite the Heavenly Star Energy? When did this happen? How come I don’t know about it?
At this time, City God Lu grabbed the hand of the Yanggu County Magistrate and pointed at some traces on the ground.
“Look here, this is Yaohu’s Mountain God Token. Have you figured out why Yin Xun can take the previous Mountain God Seal? It’s because Yaohu doesn’t need that thing. He wants to fuse the token himself.
In this way, he could bypass the power of the gods and turn Jingyang Ridge into his own demon ridge.
Look here again and see if you find anything different here. There is bluestone powder here.
I just looked at it. Did you see that bluestone slab? If I’m not mistaken, that bluestone slab should have been here originally.”
Lu Holmes City God pointed to the location where the bluestone was at the beginning and said, "Now the bluestone has flown to that location and exploded, which means that the demon tiger hid the token in the bluestone to nurture it.
Look at this again. You see, this is where the token was originally hidden.
Now you believe what I say.
Let’s look at this again. Judging from the way the demon tiger exploded, it was an explosion from the inside out. Only the Heavenly Star Qi shattered the token, causing the demon tiger to lose control of its power and also explode. Otherwise, there is no force that can make the demon explode from the inside out.”
As City God Lu spoke, the confused Magistrate Wu of Yanggu nodded, and finally even General Yu, who was listening nearby, believed that the battle before their eyes was being repeated.
If Wang Liang didn't know what was going on, he might have believed Lu Chenghuang's judgment.
He was just about to step forward and talk about the battle situation here, but City God Lu had already finished speaking. He waved his hand to stop Wang Liang from speaking, and instead shook the hand of County Magistrate Wu.
"So, Magistrate Wu, do you think we should report this great achievement?"
As he said this, Lu Chenghuang even blinked.
Magistrate Wu was no fool. He could tell at a glance that this was a good opportunity to show his support.
"Yes, I must report it. I will report this great achievement when I return." Magistrate Wu's eyes rolled and he turned to look at the body of the demon tiger. "It's a pity that the tiger skin has been broken into pieces. Otherwise, if we send a complete tiger skin, we can even send it to the palace."
When Wang Liang heard this, he suddenly said, "I can make a tiger bone ornament to recreate the original appearance of this demon tiger."
When County Magistrate Wu heard this, he asked hurriedly, "But the tiger bone ornaments of the Xiao family in southern Jiangxi, when I came to Yanggu County to take office, I also heard about the Xiao family in southern Jiangxi. They are a well-known tiger-killing family, and many tiger monsters have died in their hands. I also wrote a letter to them, hoping that they can come to deal with the monster tiger in Jingyanggang.
In the end, they never came. It seems that they didn't receive my letter. I didn't expect that you would make tiger bone ornaments. Come on, come on, just tell me what you need. We will make this tiger bone ornament and I will present it to you. Naturally, there will be benefits in return."
"What are the benefits?" General Yu knew that Wang Liang, a man who cared about his reputation, would not ask this question proactively, so he acted as a supporting actor and helped ask the question.
"You don't know this, do you?" Magistrate Wu said proudly, "No matter what a demon tiger of this level makes, it is a good omen. Twenty years ago, someone presented a huge white tiger skin, which was the skin of a demon tiger. It was later discovered that it had the ability to warm weapons, so the current official built a White Tiger Hall to worship it.
This demon tiger is so ferocious, and the tiger bone will naturally have the same effect as the white tiger skin. The court will definitely give a corresponding reward. Don't worry, young master, I will definitely get the reward."
As Magistrate Wu spoke, he looked at Wang Liang, and the attitude revealed in his eyes clearly told Wang Liang to do it now.
Facing Magistrate Wu's eager gaze, Wang Liang did not shirk his responsibility. He pointed at the battlefield and said, "Please arrange some people to pick up the tiger bones. I will take a rest here and deal with it after I have recovered my strength."
Magistrate Wu wanted to say something, but City God Lu said, "That's right, Magistrate Wu, please make some arrangements so that Taoist Duocai can have a good rest. The attack of Yin Tianxing Gangqi just now also consumed a lot of his physical strength. We can't let him get too tired."
Magistrate Wu then noticed that Wang Liang's face was pale. He also knew that it was not realistic to force Wang Liang to make tiger bone ornaments at this time, so he discussed it with General Hua and asked several soldiers who came with him to sort out the exploded body of the demon tiger.
