Chapter 107 - Suddenly, The Dragon Becomes Lame (2/2)
The few of them suddenly heard a cold snort, followed by the voice transmission of Li Changshou’s other paper effigy. Li Changshou said, “When I was patrolling the ocean, I was picked up by you from the undersea carriage. You saw my face. You know that I am the Sea G.o.d and even built a temple for me in the South Ocean. Why? Why are you all kneeling and not bowing when I personally appear?”
The old village chief frowned. Just as he was about to signal to them, he kowtowed for the time being…
The few Divine Envoys at the side suddenly rolled their eyes and slowly lay down on the ground.
The old village chief was shocked.
Li Changshou’s voice entered the old village chief’s ears. “I will punish them by taking their souls for a few days. They will wake up a few days later. When the time comes, you can ask them if they remember anything.”
In fact, it was just some Soft Immortal Disperser. Li Changshou had increased the dosage.
The old village chief s.h.i.+vered a few times, and his Adam’s apple trembled. Li Changshou’s voice transmission kept entering his ears like a demonic voice…
“Do you really think that I can’t do anything to you just because you have the bloodline of the witches? However, because I have an old relations.h.i.+p with your ancestors, I did not care about you using my name to earn money.”
“Did your ancestors warn you not to go out and hide in that corner? Is there a precept that tells you not to marry women from outside the village? And that women can choose husbands but not marry outsiders? Is there a special instruction for each generation’s leader to not cause trouble? What have you done all these years?”
The old village chief broke out in cold sweat, and his body trembled even more violently. His pupils were starting to turn gla.s.sy.
The Sea G.o.d was real, really…
Every question felt like a heavy burden weighing down on the old village chief’s back. It kept him suppressed and lowered.
That voice appeared in his heart again.
“Does your Xiong Village still want to continue existing?
“If you guys don’t want to, I’ll get rid of you guys, lest you tarnish your ancestors’ reputation.”
“We do, we do!”
The old village chief hurriedly shouted and looked up at the statue. However, he happened to see the image of the statue explaining the scriptures.
The latter lowered his eyes and head.
At that moment, the statue seemed to come to life. Its eyes were filled with coldness.
The old village chief was ultimately just a “mortal”. At that moment, the defense in his heart had completely collapsed. He lay on the ground, kowtowing, and crying… “Sea G.o.d, please punish me, just punish me! I am greedy, I am greedy! I came up with this idea. The people in our village merely listened to me!”
“If that’s the case, your soul will be punished for a few days.”
Li Changshou snorted again. A wisp of incapacitating agent entered the old village chief’s nose. The old man immediately fell to the ground.
It just so happened that the “Sea G.o.d”, who had just finished teaching, slowly dissipated on the statue.
A voice transmission entered the hearts of the other villagers of Xiong Village.
“The celebrations will continue. Maintain the order here. Do not let anyone get hurt.
The High Priest has been greedy for money for a long time, but he did not make a huge mistake. I will punish him a little today and bring his soul back to receive punishment. He will wake up in a few days. Since you respect me as the Sea G.o.d, you will also be given the t.i.tle of living beings and understand the logic of foolishness in the future. Don’t do anything dirty and undeserving, shoulder the responsibility of a Divine Envoy, and protect the devotees!”
As the voice fell, the light on the statue dissipated at the same time…
The group of burly men from Xiong Village trembled. They looked at the High Priest and the Divine Envoy who were lying on the ground under the statue’s feet and did not dare to go forward to support them.
As expected, the village chief was too greedy. He had been punished by the Sea G.o.d…
Many devotees cheered when they saw that.
The Sea G.o.d Ceremony continued. The devotees were excited. They took turns to offer incense and pray for the Sea G.o.d. Li Changshou counted with his fingers. His merit from incense offerings… were surging.
Ao Yi sat cross-legged in the open s.p.a.ce in the forest and pondered silently. He had just heard the teachings of the Sea G.o.d Sect and felt a little admiration for his Brother Changshou.
Not far away, more than a hundred thousand humans continued to celebrate. Ao Yi stared at the rising clouds of merit, his eyes filled with envy.
Once upon a time, the dragon race had been like that too…
“Brother Yi?”
A human voice came from the side. Ao Yi hurriedly stood up and looked over. He saw a middle-aged Daoist walking over.
The Daoist priest smiled and recited the poem that the two of them had read the last time they met. Ao Yi also saw that he was using an illusion technique on him, and he immediately understood something.
Ao Yi carefully sensed that the Daoist was at the eighth-stage of the Void Return realm. His ident.i.ty was confirmed.
He was Li Changshou, a disciple of the Ren School.
Li Changshou bowed and said, “I’ve embarra.s.sed myself, Brother Yi.”
“Brother Changshou, you’re too kind.” Ao Yi cupped his fists and bowed as he strolled along with Li Changshou.
Li Changshou had already observed Ao Yi’s reaction and came to a conclusion. He knew which “Third Step” he should choose next.
Li Changshou looked at Ao Yi and set up a simple soundproof barrier around them. He said seriously, “Brother Yi, what do you think of the South Ocean Sea G.o.d Sect?”
Ao Yi nodded slowly and said, “The people of the sect do good deeds. They are not simply plundering the incense. They are extraordinarily meaningful.”
Li Changshou smiled as if he had expected his reply.
Ao Yi could not help but lower his voice and ask softly, “Brother Changshou, can you tell me everything? Is the South Ocean Sea G.o.d
Sect…”
Li Changshou immediately shook his head and pointed upwards. Then, he pointed at his mouth, followed by the ground.
Ao Yi did not seem to understand. In a daze, he suddenly understood something.
As I expected, Brother Changshou was merely coerced into this. The experts of the Ren School are the ones collecting incense offerings.
Li Changshou smiled again and sighed. “Those Divine Envoys caused some damage to the Immortal troops of the Dragon Palace. I’m really sorry.”
Ao Yi was stunned. Then, he thought of something
It’s not just the experts of the Ren School. There are also the plots of the witches!
A certain Sea G.o.d: We did not say anything.
Ao Yi smiled and said, “Don’t worry. It’s just a small matter. I’ll just give them instructions later.”
Ao Yi raised his head and looked at Li Changshou, who was beside him. He felt emotional.
“Brother Changshou asked me just now. Do you know how tired the dragon race is? How much do you know?”
Li Changshou sighed.
“There are no external problems, but there are ancient disasters. It is hard to survive in a drunken state. Brother Yi, I roughly know what you have done, but it’s very difficult to turn the situation around with just you alone.”
Li Changshou paused and secretly observed Ao Yi’s eyes.
Just now, he had used a series of trickery methods, such as “Deliberate Blank”, “Hint”, “Let your imagination run wild”, and “Fall into the trap, step by step”…
However, the highest realm of tricking would be staying silent and making the other party make the request one wanted.
In that case, karma could be transferred.
In the end, Ao Yi might even be grateful to him and say, “Thank you for your advice, Brother Changshou.”
