Chapter 147 - I Have a Date with the God of Fortune (1/2)
The woman standing outside the temple looked like a mortal at first glance.
She was dressed in a light blue dress made of coa.r.s.e fabric, and her figure was rather ordinary. She was not as graceful as most female Qi Refinement cultivators.
However, no matter how she hid it… the mysterious and obscure Dao runes around her still revealed her ident.i.ty as an expert.
That was a cla.s.sic example of being bad at disguising. Or perhaps, it was an even more brilliant disguise that would fool one into thinking that they had seen through the disguise…
Previously, after Li Changshou sent his little Grandmaster away, he told his junior sister and master to return to the secret underground chamber and continue to refine the array foundation. He also studied the method to improve the paper effigy’s mystical abilities.
One day later, Li Changshou sensed that something had happened in the South Ocean Sea G.o.d Temple. He focused his attention on the small temple.
In the past few years, the Sea G.o.d Sect was suffering from various troubles. Since Li Changshou took the initiative to get involved with the karma, he would not complain about
it…
There was someone behind him. There was no need to panic.
However, what Li Changshou found strange was that he could not tell if the matter was good or bad using his senses. There were no ominous hunches or auspicious signs.
It seemed that there were good and bad things happening at the same time… Li Changshou’s spiritual will landed on the small temple. He immediately discovered the “female” who had been pacing around incessantly outside the temple. Sensing the Dao runes on her body, he concluded that she was definitely not an ordinary Golden Immortal.
The first thing he thought of was the Western Sect. Moreover, if the other party dared to appear directly, he should not be the “sharp blades” that the Western Sect had in secret. He reckoned that she should be a famous expert in the Western Sect.
Moreover, according to Li Changshou’s calculations, there should have been experts from the Western Sect looking for him and telling him about the dragon race…
If she’s a disciple of a Western Saint, who could she be?
To be safe, Li Changshou summoned Ao Yi’s mind.
In order to prevent the dragon race from suspecting something, Li Changshou would drag Ao Yi along with him whenever he met anyone from the Western Sect.
“Sect Master, who is this person?”
Ao Yi asked using his spiritual will.
“I don’t know either,” Li Changshou said. “But it’s probably not someone from the East. Previously, there was an expert who taught me a mystical ability. I made a simple incarnation. Today, I’ll use my incarnation to meet her and see how capable she is. Brother Yi, watch from the side. If my incarnation encounters any mishap, you can inform the experts of the dragon race to come and deal with it.”
Ao Yi immediately agreed. “Be careful, Sect Master.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and did not reply. He slowly retracted half of his spiritual will. As if she had sensed that the divine will on the statue of the main G.o.d was slipping away, the woman outside immediately took a few steps forward and barged into the temple.
She quickly entered and was a little anxious. She shouted at the deity statue with a strong and “rough female voice”, “Dao… Sea G.o.d, please wait! I… I have something to ask of
you!”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
How did this Great Immortal do it? She managed to reveal so much information with just one sentence! That’s not right. This should be a “reverse tactic”. She deliberately created so many loopholes and used them to make me let my guard down…
I can only say that this Fellow Daoist has belittled me.
The woman who had an unknown background but had terrifying Dao runes was either extremely bad at disguising or simply a scheming person! In tandem to Li Changshou’s principle, he had always imagined the worst possibility first…
She’s probably a tough nut to crack. Li Changshou made up his mind. He maintained a wisp of his spiritual will and kept it on the statue. He made the paper effigy, whom he had already confirmed would be the Sea G.o.d in the future, rush over on a cloud near Anshui City.
The image of the paper effigy was that of a thin and benevolent old man who often met General Dongmu. The little woman quickly walked to the statue of the main G.o.d. The members in charge of keeping incense burning in the temple and the other visitors in the temple were looking at her curiously…
The gazes of the mortals around her made her feel uncomfortable.
It’s really a torture to beg someone!
She sighed in her heart and frowned as she looked at the Sea G.o.d statue. She cupped her hands and pondered for a while.
The jade statue beside her looked familiar, but before she arrived, she had asked around. It was just a guardian. She would naturally have to find the real owner!
After hesitating for a while, she finally opened her mouth and asked in an uncertain tone, “Well, Sea G.o.d, can you show yourself?” The devotee beside her burst out laughing.
Ao Yi, who was secretly observing, was also swayed by the big sister who was suspected to be from the Western Sect.
If it was the old Ao Yi, who had just gone to Golden Ao Island to acknowledge his master, would have already caused some commotion. He would not be afraid at all.
However, the current Ao Yi was no longer the reckless person he was back then.
He had learned to a.n.a.lyze the situation, hide, and observe secretly…..
The old member who was in charge of keeping incense burning in the temple was dressed in a blue long-sleeved robe. He walked forward and cupped his hands at the woman. He smiled and said, “Young lady, please don’t be so rude in front of the Sea G.o.d. If you want to invite the Sea G.o.d to appear, you have to at least offer incense and kneel. The Sea G.o.d might then really appear in your dream.”
The woman frowned. “How can I do that?”
The old member who was in charge of keeping incense burning in the temple frowned and said, “Why not?”
“Forget it, forget it. I won’t ask anymore. Why should I stoop so low to your level?” The woman waved her hand, feeling a little disappointed. She turned around and walked towards the door of the temple. She actually walked suavely like a dragon! Ao Yi raised his eyebrows secretly. He suddenly realized the trace of Dao runes that the woman had forgotten to conceal…
They were rather familiar.
At that moment, the paper effigy, who had already flown to that place, looked at the woman below and sent a voice transmission.
“Fellow Daoist, are you looking for me?” When Li Changshou saw that she was leaving, his first reaction was to let her leave. It was better to avoid trouble.
However, since the other party had already appeared, she must have a motive. If he let her leave, he would not be able to feel at ease…
Hence, he directly asked for her to stay.
The woman below looked up. She thought that the old man was just pa.s.sing by on a cloud. When she heard that, she kept her eyes fixed on him.
Incarnation?
She looked to her left and right. Just as she was about to speak, the paper effigy above had already descended on the ground.
The few devotees looked forward in surprise. When they saw the real immortal, they were at a loss.
Li Changshou took out a wooden tablet from his sleeve and showed it to the old member who was in charge of keeping incense burning in the temple. The latter’s spirits were lifted.
The paper effigy smiled and said, “Please retreat and close the temple door. You can wait outside the temple.”
“As you wis.h.!.+”
The old member who was in charge of keeping incense burning in the temple lowered his head and expressed a.s.sent. He followed the instructions and led the few visitors out of the small temple. He then closed the wooden door. Li Changshou waved his hand and created a barrier. Then, he turned around and bowed to the strange “woman”.
Li Changshou said, “I’ve made a fool of myself. Let’s have a chat in the hall.”
The woman subconsciously held her hands behind her back and raised her head. She habitually picked up her “accent”.
However, “she” realized that her current state was a little inappropriate. She had nowhere to put her hands all of a sudden. Li Changshou, on the other hand, did not dare to be careless. He woke up secretly and entered the hall with the woman. He deliberately chatted with her in front of Ao Yi under the Sea G.o.d statue.
The “woman” secretly pinched her fingers to deduce but she could not figure out the ident.i.ty of the incarnation in front of her.
Li Changshou was the first to speak. He spoke slowly in a kind voice and smiled slowly as well.
“I am the Sea G.o.d of this place. This is an incarnation of me. Fellow Daoist, why do you want to meet me?” His eyes were filled with just the right amount of vigilance. He was also somewhat confident because he was not afraid of being targeted.
