Chapter 179 - I’m Most Afraid of Strangers Suddenly Showing Me Concern (1/2)
As the saying goes, the Daoist will always be… slightly more powerful than the devil.
After a battle of scheming against each other, between Daoist Wen Jing and Li Changshou, the latter took advantage of Daoist Wen Jing’s unstable Dao heart to lure her into the mortal world.
Daoist Wen Jing was considered one of the most powerful users of mystical abilities on the ranks of the vicious characters of the Primordial World. However, she could not see through the white-haired old immortal before her.
Ordinary deductions produced no results. If she forcefully deduced it, she would obtain… a warning from the Taiji Painting.
Therefore, Daoist Wen Jing confirmed her original thoughts. The person in front of her should be a hidden expert of Ren School!
Previously, the Great Daoist Master of Ren School had stood up for Sea G.o.d Sect. Ever since then, Daoist Wen Jing had kept her distance from the Sea G.o.d Sect.
However, Daoist Wen Jing did not expect that the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean was a key character in Ren School…
Today, he had taken the initiative to plot against her, and he had ulterior motives. At the very least, if he could borrow the hands of Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao, he would be second only to… that man from Ren School.
An hour later, in a large city about three thousand kilometers to the northeast of Anshui City of the South Continent, there was a Sea G.o.d Sect temple that was thriving. The streets were filled with the “envoys” who preached the teachings of the Sea G.o.d Sect.
Li Changshou did not choose that place casually. Instead, he used his own statue to search all parts of the place. After careful consideration, he carefully selected that place as the best place to deceive Wen Jing.
At that moment, a paper effigy and a mosquito that was in human form walked on the street one after another.
Daoist Wen Jing used her mystical abilities to conceal her and Li Changshou’s paper effigy’s aura. She kept thinking about how to save herself.
If someone found out about her, it would be a fatal blow to her.
It could still kill her.
Li Changshou was also thinking…
Should he use the trick of “coercion” or the method of “taking advantage”?
However, he was certain that it was impossible for him to take the s.e.xual route. He was not interested in crossing the racial obstacles.
According to the core point of the famous ‘Theory of Tricks’, in order to deceive such an expert, one had to first stabilize their unfathomable image. From the details, he would bring her into his own rhythm. Then, they would talk about frivolous things to give her a rich imagination.
It was easy to say, but it was difficult to do it.
Suddenly, he heard the sounds of gongs and drums ringing in the corner of the street. Many mortals were gathered there. There were sounds of them promoting the Sea G.o.d Sect.
Clang, Clang…
“Dear Masters, please stand down and tell us what you’re thinking.”
“Everyone, stand down. Let’s just do it casually. The Sea G.o.d will protect your entire family. There is no need to be afraid of going out to sea or climbing the mountain. The young lady from East Street and the bachelor from West City who can’t find a spouse, have prayed to the Sea G.o.d the day before yesterday, and now they have already exchanged betrothal gifts…”
Li Changshou smiled and listened for a while. Daoist Wen Jing, who was beside him, frowned slightly. However, she stared at the foolish and weak mortals.
She thought that there must be a deeper meaning behind that person’s words…
After a while, Li Changshou said, “Let’s go.” Daoist Wen Jing nodded slowly. She was even more puzzled and gave Li Changshou a harsh att.i.tude.
There were many mortals on the streets, but not a single one of them looked over. Daoist Wen Jing’s mystical abilities were quite extraordinary.
Li Changshou was very envious of her ability that almost all mighty figures needed, which could reduce their presence.
“Fellow Daoist.” Li Changshou held his horsetail whisk and smiled as he gestured for Daoist Wen Jing to follow him.
Li Changshou thought to himself that if she made things difficult for him, he would just destroy that incarnation.
Daoist Wen Jing also thought that although she was a vicious figure from the Blood Sea, she was not someone who could be easily humiliated. If the other party were to make things difficult for her, she would at most escape temporarily.
Li Changshou slowly spoke…
“Fellow Daoist, what do you think of my Sea G.o.d Sect?”
Daoist Wen Jing frowned slightly and answered, “Why don’t you speak faster?”
cause
“Some things can’t be said quickly that would ruin the beauty of it.
We were originally rivals, but now, we are taking a stroll in the streets of the mortal world. Isn’t that a wonderful thing?” Li Changshou continued leisurely, “Although you’ve targeted me several times, I don’t have any ill intentions towards you. If not for the fact that you almost ruined my plans this time, I would not have forced you to this extent. Fellow Daoist, look at this place. The mortal world is troublesome. Mortals can live a hundred years old and die from old age. However, they are the main characters of this world. If you receive their wors.h.i.+p, you can obtain merit from incense offerings. Why do you think that’s the case?”
Daoist Wen Jing pursed her lips and did not answer.
Li Changshou smiled. He knew that the trick did not work and immediately changed his train of thought.
He continued, “In the Primordial World, there are very few people who know about your background, Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist, aren’t you curious about how I found out?”
“Oh?” Daoist Wen Jing still refused to give up. She asked, “Then, tell me what my background is.”
However, she could not even be bothered to refer to herself as a Daoist.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, please add a few more layers of isolation barriers. I’m really going to say it.” “Hmph.” Daoist Wen Jing snorted coldly and raised her hand to set up two layers of Dao runes around him. It was quite realistic.
At that moment, a mysterious Dao rune surged out of Li Changshou’s body.
Daoist Wen Jing saw with her own eyes that a small Taiji Painting flickered behind Li Changshou and disappeared.
She no longer doubted Li Changshou’s ident.i.ty…
At that moment, Li Changshou said leisurely, “Fellow Daoist, you came from the netherworld. Your main body is the leader of the Blood-Winged Black Mosquitoes, which are beasts of the Primordial World. You are currently working for the two masters who cannot be described. What you are doing now is planning to devour the dragon race. Are there any mistakes?”
Daoist Wen Jing’s face turned pale. She no longer had any thoughts of struggling. Instead, a crazy murderous intent rose in her instinctively. Her gaze kept changing, and her aura turned extremely cold.
Li Changshou said lightly, “There’s a saying that humans often use, and that is, Heaven, is watching what a person does.”
Daoist Wen Jing was instantly jolted awake. She sighed softly and revealed a charming smile. She said softly, “Fellow Daoist, since you’ve investigated my background so clearly and set up such a scheme, yet you didn’t kill me, you must be coveting something of mine. Fellow Daoist, please speak. As long as you don’t expose me, I’ll do anything you want.”
“Fellow Daoist…”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and suddenly asked, “Aren’t you tired?” The first move, coercion through emotional appeal. Daoist Wen Jing was clearly stunned. Li Changshou sighed and said, “Humans have an exquisite heart, so there are thousands of faces. The other living beings are the same. Look at the streets. Mortals are busy working for survival and food. They have to put on fake faces so that others can’t see through their hearts. We are cultivators outside the mortal world. We have a long lifespan, but we’re doing the same, aren’t we? Fellow Daoist, aren’t you tired?”
When Daoist Wen Jing heard that, she stopped smiling and looked at the mortals on the bustling street.
Li Changshou continued to move forward while Daoist Wen Jing followed him subconsciously. There was a hint of contemplation in her phoenix-like eyes, but it also revealed a hint of exhaustion.
She whispered, “It’s just for survival’.”
Li Changshou smiled and happened to pa.s.s by a brothel.
There was a wooden sign hanging on the red pillar in front of the brothel. On it was written: “The believers of the Sea G.o.d will enjoy a thirty-percent discount.’
Tsk, the publicity work of the Sea G.o.d Sect is indeed impressive.
Li Changshou looked at the figure resting in the brothel and said, “If we’re talking about forcing smiles, what’s the difference between us and them?”
The second move was “Being Relatable”.
Daoist Wen Jing sighed softly. “Fellow Daoist, you’re different from me.”
“No, we’re actually the same,” Li Changshou said calmly. “The Primordial World is like a chess piece. The Saints are the controller. Both of us are just p.a.w.ns.”
Daoist Wen Jing said, “Fellow Daoist, you can see through it well.”
“It’s just for survival.”
Li Changshou calmly replied. Daoist Wen Jing’s gaze s.h.i.+fted slightly.
She asked again, “Fellow Daoist, don’t tell me that you just want to tell me this?”
“Of course not.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “To be honest, Fellow Daoist, you and I have already exchanged a few moves. I have some understanding of you.”
