Gui Chahou and Gui Chai Liu brought Sun Ren's soul back to the underworld, and Fang Jian began to patrol back and forth in Yangxia County.
But Fang Jian ran all day and night, patrolling the entire Yangxia County. Until the sun rose the next morning, he did not find anyone suspicious.
As a last resort, Fang Jian returned to the Qingping Mountain Earth Temple, ready to ask for help.
Although he has a powerful magic weapon like the Taihuang Yiqi Brick in his hand, he can't pinch or count, and he can't find an enemy no matter how powerful the magic weapon is.
Fang Jian, who returned to Tutu Jingshe, saw Zhou Qinghan sitting there cross-legged at a glance. He was breathing out his energy, breathing calmly, and his face was rosy. He knew that he was fine, so he did not disturb him.
Fang Jian also came to sit on the futon, then took out the Immortal Official Jade Plate, poured a magic power into it, and began to communicate.
"Fang Jian, the land god of Yangxia County, has a message to report to the god on duty." Fang Jian called out with the immortal official jade plate.
But after calling three times in a row, there was no response from Zhou Deng, the god on duty.
So he began to call Liu Hong, the God of Time, again, and this time there was a quick response. He saw a fairy light falling directly into the earth god Sanzhang Jingshe. After the fairy light dissipated, a man wearing golden armor and a The mighty priest in brocade robes appeared in front of Fang Jian.
"Yangxia County Land, why do you call this god?" Liu Hong, the god of duty, asked impatiently.
Fang Jian hurriedly reported: "I am reporting to God that a demon attacked monks and killed mortals in Yangxia County yesterday. However, the little god patrolled the entire county and checked the land books, but could not find the whereabouts of this demon. Please ask God to help you." The little god will give you guidance."
Upon hearing this, Liu Hong, the God of Time, glanced outside the monastery, and then said calmly: "You can report such trivial matters to the City God of Qianyun Mansion. Don't bother me."
As soon as the words fell, Liu Hong, the God of Time, immediately turned into a ray of fairy light and returned directly to the heaven.
Fang Jian's face hardened, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw Liu Hong, the God of Time, leaving without any courtesy.
But he quickly realized that this attitude was actually normal. The God of Time, the God of Sun, the God of Moon, and the God of Year were the "four merits" of Heaven, and they belonged to the "Super Immortal Officials" .
The so-called super-grade immortal official is the highest-status immortal official above the first-grade immortal official. There is no higher one after that.
For example, gods such as the Giant Spirit God, the Four Great Vajras, the Tota King, Wang Lingguan, Nezha, Erlang God, etc. are all super-grade immortal officials.
A small ninth-level earth god is no different from an ant in their eyes. He will give you great face by saying anything he says to you.
Because the four Lei Gongs of the Lei Department, the Night Travel God, and the report to Zhou Deng, the God on duty, about Hua Ling'er last time, gave Fang Jian the illusion that the gods above were easy to deal with.
But in fact, you are just an earth god, and you don't have that much face.
After figuring it out, Fang Jian smiled bitterly. Although he felt uncomfortable, this was the reality.
"It seems you still have to rely on yourself." Fang Jian sighed, and then his expression gradually became firm.
When Fang Jian withdrew his will from the immortal official jade plate and opened his eyes, he saw that Zhou Qinghan had also woken up.
When Zhou Qinghan saw Fang Jian opening his eyes, he quickly stood up and worshiped: "Thank you to the God of Earth for saving your life."
When Fang Jian saw Zhou Qinghan, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately asked, "Do you know who the person who hurt you is?"
Zhou Qinghan nodded and said: "Just as I was about to report to the Earth God, a mandrill came from outside Peach Blossom Mountain. It was extremely powerful, with a strong body and great strength. It was wielding a grass fork, and its body was covered with rotten corpse poison. I saw It was sucking human flesh and blood, so we tried to get rid of it. Unexpectedly, when we fought with it, we were stabbed by its fork and poisoned. Fortunately, we escaped here in time and was saved by the land god, otherwise we would have died. "
"Mandrill!" Fang Jian's expression changed when he heard this. It turned out to be this thing. No wonder he couldn't find it in his land book.
Because mandrills are formed from the bones of dead animals in the mountains, they belong to the category of corpse mandrills and have no soul at all, so the land book cannot be found at all.
"Did the Earth God use hundred-year-old ginseng to detoxify me?" Zhou Qinghan asked.
Fang Jian nodded and said with a smile: "At that time, you were poisoned by corpse poison, your whole body was black, and your breath was weak. I thought you were at the end of your life, so I was ready to prepare a banquet."
Zhou Qinghan smiled sheepishly and said, "It's because I'm not good at studying, but it cost the land god."
"Take it from the people and use it for the people." Fang Jianfeng said calmly.
Then he said to Zhou Qinghan: "Do you remember the mandrill's Qi machine?"
When Zhou Qinghan heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Remember."
Fang Jian clapped his hands and immediately said with great joy: "Okay, then you and I will get rid of that mandrill right away."
Zhou Qinghan was slightly surprised and said, "Is it just the two of us?"
Fang Jian nodded.
Zhou Qinghan was a little embarrassed. He glanced at Fang Jian, then scratched his head and said, "It's not that I'm afraid of the God of Earth. That thing has a solid body, great strength, and quick movements. At least he's in the Refining Realm like me, and he's also There are rotten corpse poison and grass tree forks. If only the two of us go, I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't matter, you just need to help me find this monster, and leave the rest to me." Fang Jian said with a smile.
Zhou Qinghan looked at the confident Fang Jian and wondered in his heart how could he, a land god who practiced the Qi realm, have such strong confidence?
"Well..." Zhou Qinghan said with some embarrassment: "Then... okay, but I'll make a promise first. If the situation goes wrong, I will run away."
The feeling of almost dying from poisoning was not pleasant, and Zhou Qinghan didn't want to die young.
Fang Jian looked at him and smiled and said, "Okay, if things go bad then, we can run away together."
When Zhou Qinghan heard this, his heart did not relax. He wanted to persuade him again: "Why not report it to the Qianyun Mansion City God?"
When Fang Jian heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "The city god is in charge of millions of living things in the whole government. It's not good to disturb him casually. It's better to find out first before talking."
Zhou Qinghan was helpless. If it were another land god, he would have left directly instead of accompanying him in danger. But Fang Jian had saved his life. If he hesitated any longer, he would look a little ungrateful.
So he no longer hesitated, stood up and said: "Okay, since the land god said so, I, Zhou Qinghan, will shirk his duties and become a cultivator."
"Okay." Fang Jian stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion and will never do anything risky."
Zhou Qinghan nodded, so the two of them left the monastery, each used their magic skills, and left the Qingpingshan Earth Temple.
...
At the same time, the Yangxia County government and the village elder from Taohua Village reported the news of Sun Ren's death.
After discussions between the mayor of Taohua Village and the village elders, they felt that it was most likely caused by monsters in the mountains, so two village elders took several villagers to the county to report to the county magistrate.
The village elders naturally want to ask the county magistrate to send someone to deal with it. At this time, harmful monsters are causing trouble around the village, which is very scary.
However, Gou De'an did not react immediately after the village elder and others reported it. Instead, he said calmly: "Nonsense. The government under my county magistrate is well-organized and people-friendly. How can there be monsters causing trouble?"
When the two village elders heard this, they hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, Sun Ren died in a very miserable state. His flesh and blood were withered and he was covered in bones. He must have been sucked dry by monsters."
Gou De'an ignored it and said in shock: "That's nonsense. Did you kill Sun Ren and lie instead that it was a monster?"
The village elder and the villagers were so frightened that they trembled all over and waved their hands quickly: "The county magistrate Ming Jian! This is absolutely not the case, this is absolutely not the case."
At this time, a villager said: "If the county magistrate doesn't believe it, he can send the government servants and widowers to do an autopsy. We will know at a glance."
Gou De'an glanced at the villager who was speaking, and then said calmly: "Oh, that's possible, but Wu Zuo is not in the county office now. Let's go there in a few days. You have to preserve Sun Ren's body."
"This, this, this... County Lord, how to preserve this corpse?" the village elders asked in shock.
"This county doesn't care, you can do what you want and withdraw." Gou De'an was stunned, then stood up and left the Yamen.
The master glanced at the kneeling village elders and Taohua Village villagers, and then left, leaving only the two village elders and a few villagers kneeling there at a loss.
Gou De'an came to the residence arranged for King Yintu Mountain in the backyard of the Yamen. After asking to see King Yintu Mountain and receiving permission, he stepped into the small courtyard.
"Is it someone from that village who came to express his love?" King Yintu Mountain was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and asked Gou De'an when he saw him walking in.
Gou De'an immediately said respectfully: "The mountain king has great magic power and knows things like a god."
The King of Yintu Mountain had no interest in Gou De'an's flattery, and just said: "Let's deal with him like today."
Gou De'an's face changed slightly when he heard this. He stood there and thought for a while, then said, "Mountain King, can you kill less? I'm afraid it will attract the attention of the city."
King Yintu Mountain glanced at Gou De'an indifferently, and then said: "Don't worry, I know what's going on and I won't make it difficult for you."
When Gou De'an heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, I would like to thank the Mountain King." After saying that, he asked again: "Mountain King, that God of the Earth..."
"The Earth God worked in vain all night last night, and couldn't find even the slightest trace of General Mandrill. There was a fish that slipped through the net, but it doesn't matter. Now that I think about it, he has died of poison." King Yintu Mountain said to his subordinate Mandrill The General knows the power of the Yin-rotting Corpse Poison most clearly. Not to mention a monk in the Refining Realm, even a monk in the God-Refining Realm cannot withstand the poison.
Unless he has more than a hundred years of spiritual ginseng to detoxify, but a hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng is so precious, how could a monk in the Refining Realm have it?
