Ghost Messengers Hou and Liu took Sun Qi's soul back to the underworld, while Fang Jian began to patrol back and forth in Yangxia County.
But Fang Jian ran for a whole day and night, inspecting the entire Yangxia County, and did not find any suspicious people until the sun rose the next morning.
Fang Jian had no choice but to return to the Earth God Temple on Qingping Mountain and prepare to ask for help.
Although he has a powerful magic weapon like the Thai King's Qi Brick in his hand, he cannot calculate and cannot find the enemy, so no matter how powerful the magic weapon is, it will be useless.
When Fang Jian returned to the land temple, he saw Zhou Qinghan sitting there. He saw that Zhou Qinghan was breathing and practicing Qigong, his breathing was steady and his face was rosy. He knew that he was fine, so he did not disturb him.
Fang Jian also came and sat down on the cushion, then took out the Immortal Official Jade Disc, injected a stream of magic power into it, and began to report.
"Fang Jian, the land god of Yangxia County, has something to report to the god on duty." Fang Jian called out using the Immortal Official Jade Disc.
But after calling three times, there was no response from the duty god Zhou Deng.
So he began to call the on-duty god Liu Hong again, and this time he received a response quickly. He saw a fairy light falling directly into the three-meter-high abode of the land god. After the fairy light dissipated, a mighty priest wearing golden armor and a brocade robe appeared in front of Fang Jian.
"Lord of Yangxia County, what do you want to call me for?" asked the god on duty, Liu Hong, with an impatient look on his face.
Fang Jian quickly reported, "Your Majesty, a demon attacked monks and harmed mortals in Yangxia County yesterday. However, I have searched the entire county and checked the land registers, but I have not found any trace of this demon. Please guide me."
Upon hearing this, the God on Duty, Liu Hong, glanced outside the abode and said calmly, "Such a trivial matter can be reported to the City God of Qianyun Prefecture. Don't bother me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the god on duty, Liu Hong, immediately turned into a beam of immortal light and went straight back to heaven.
Fang Jian's face darkened, and he was stunned for a moment as he watched the time god Liu Hong leave without any courtesy.
But he quickly realized that this attitude was actually normal. The God of Time, the God of Day, the God of Month, and the God of Year were the 'Four Duty Officials' of Heaven and were considered 'super-grade immortal officials'.
The so-called super-grade immortal official is the immortal official with the highest status above the first-grade immortal official, and there is no higher one above him.
For example, the Giant Spirit, the Four Vajras, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Wang Lingguan, Nezha, Erlang Shen and other gods are all super-grade immortal officials.
In their eyes, a small ninth-rank land god is no different from an ant. Talking to you is a great honor for them.
Because of the four thunder gods of the Thunder Department, the Night Wandering God, and the last report on Hua Ling'er's matter to the duty god Zhou Deng, Fang Jian had the illusion that the gods above were easy to deal with.
But in fact, you are just a land god and don’t have that much face.
After figuring it out, Fang Jian smiled bitterly. Although he felt uncomfortable, this was the reality.
"It seems I still have to rely on myself." Fang Jian sighed, and then his expression gradually became firm.
When Fang Jian withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the Immortal Official Jade Disc and opened his eyes, he saw that Zhou Qinghan had also woken up.
When Zhou Qinghan saw Fang Jian open his eyes, he quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, God of Land, for saving my life."
When Fang Jian saw Zhou Qinghan, his eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately asked, "Do you know who hurt you?"
Zhou Qinghan nodded and said, "I was just about to report to the land god that a baboon had arrived from outside Peach Blossom Mountain. It's extremely powerful, with a sturdy body and immense strength. It wielded a pitchfork, and its entire body was covered in Yin-rot corpse poison. I saw it sucking flesh and blood, so I tried to kill it, but unexpectedly, I was stabbed by its pitchfork while fighting it, and contracted the corpse poison. Luckily, I escaped here in time and was saved by the land god, otherwise I would have died."
"Mandrill!" Fang Jian's face 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 essence of the bones and bones of animals that died in the mountains, they are a type of corpse mandrill and have no souls at all, so they cannot be found in the land book at all.
"Did the land god use the hundred-year-old ginseng to remove the poison from me?" Zhou Qinghan asked.
Fang Jian nodded and smiled, "You were poisoned by the corpse at the time. Your body was black and your breath was weak. I thought your life was over and was preparing to set up a feast."
Zhou Qinghan smiled sheepishly and said, "It's my fault that I didn't learn the skills well enough, and I made the land god spend money."
"Take from the people and use it for the people." Fang Jian said calmly.
Then he said to Zhou Qinghan, "Do you remember that mandrill aura?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qinghan nodded and said, "I remember."
Fang Jian clapped his hands and said happily, "Okay, then you will come with me to get rid of that mandrill right away."
Zhou Qinghan was slightly startled and asked, "Just the two of us?"
Fang Jian nodded.
Zhou Qinghan was a bit embarrassed. He glanced at Fang Jian, then scratched his head and said, "Land God, it's not that I'm afraid, but that thing has a strong body, great strength, and is agile. It's at least in the same realm of Refining Profound Realm as me, and it also has Yin Fu Corpse Poison and Grass Fork. If it's just the two of us going, I'm afraid..."
"It's okay, 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 Fang Jian who was full of confidence, and was extremely puzzled in his heart. How could a land god who had practiced Qi in the realm of Taoism get such strong confidence?
"Well..." Zhou Qinghan said with some embarrassment: "Well... okay, but let me make it clear 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, "Okay, if things get bad, we can just run away together."
