Chapter 232 - ave You Heard of the Sea God of the South Ocean? (1/2)
Chapter 232 Have You Heard of the Sea G.o.d of the South Ocean?
“Fellow Daoist Sea G.o.d… Ah.”
Li Changshou looked at the tall and thin old Daoist priest who was clad in a light yellow robe. After the two of them exchanged greetings, the old Daoist priest had already hesitated to speak a few times and kept sighing
It felt like Li Changshou was hopeless…
“Senior, what’s wrong?”
Li Changshou asked with concern, “Are you worried about the dragon race?”
Perfected Huang Long sighed again and sat by the side, remaining silent for a long time. For a moment, Li Changshou had been fooled by that senior expert. He did not know what had happened.
Among the three Dao Sects, the one who had the least connections to him was the Chan School.
In other words, the Chan School was the school that he was the most unfamiliar with.
“Fellow Daoist Sea G.o.d…”
“Ah!”
Li Changshou sighed before Perfected Huang Long managed to, giving Perfected Huang Long a great shock.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior, what’s wrong? If there’s anything, please speak frankly. If there is any instruction, I will listen.”
“I won’t hide it from you, Fellow Daoist Sea G.o.d. I came here today because I really have something to say.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Then don’t say it.
However, Perfected Huang Long had already asked, “Fellow Daoist, can you tell me everything clearly? Does the Western Sect want to make the dragon race belong to them or do they want the dragon race to submit to the two saints of the Western Sect?”
Li Changshou was puzzled.
Did someone say something to Perfected Huang Long? Why did he ask that question?
To use the dragon race as their own was to make the dragon race become like Daoist Wen Jing. However, there were not many benefits to doing dirty work. At critical moments, they would be thrown out to take the blame.
To submit to the two Saints of the Western Sect meant to join the Western Sect and enjoy the protection of the Saints.
Although the two seemed to be the same matter, they were actually worlds apart.
This question…
Li Changshou knew that he could not answer it directly.
It was not that he felt guilty.
The matter of the dragon race’s entry to heaven was done openly and magnanimously.
It was only beneficial for the dragon race to be able to make it to the Heavenly Courts. It was equivalent to giving the dragon race a hand.
Otherwise, Li Changshou would have been too embarra.s.sed to keep taking the gifts from the dragon race. There were more than a thousand boxes of precious materials and spiritual items.
Since Perfected Huang Long had asked that question at that moment, he should have already heard what others said and had a preconceived concept. Regardless of what Li Changshou answered, it would not be steady.
Li Changshou already had a plan.
He still liked to take the initiative.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Pardon me for being nosy. Why are you asking that question, Senior?”
Perfected Huang Long answered, “I’m just troubled, so I asked that question.”
Li Changshou immediately shook his head and stood up. He took two steps forward with his horsetail whisk and said warmly, “Senior, if I’m not wrong, someone should be telling you how good the Western Sect is, and that the Western Sect has two Saints. They probably also told you that the Western Sect is destined to prosper, and will allow the dragon race to benefit from the opportunity and that it’s not impossible for them to prosper as well… Is that so?”
“Well…” Perfected Huang Long smiled in embarra.s.sment and nodded honestly.
He admitted, “Yes, that’s true. However, what he said makes sense. I also think that the Western Sect is not bad. After all, they have two Saints and a twelfth-grade Golden Lotus to suppress their luck. If they can become the dragon race’s home…”
“Hey, hey! Senior, you’re muddle-headed!”
Perfected Huang Long could not help but feel puzzled.
Muddle-headed? Isn’t this obvious? How am I being muddle-headed?
However, Li Changshou said, “What you said is really pus.h.i.+ng the dragon race into trouble. The person who said that either doesn’t know the truth, or he’s just… ahem, confused and muddle-headed.”
Originally, Li Changshou had wanted to use the words ‘harboring ill intentions’.
However, on second thought, the person who could influence Perfected Huang Long was most likely the big boss of the Chan School. It would not be appropriate for him to scold him directly.
He had to offend as few people as possible.
The Dao would then be safe and sound.
“Oh?” Perfected Huang Long hurriedly asked, “Please guide me.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, can you use your mystical abilities to prevent our conversation from being heard by outsiders?”
“I’ll use it now. I’ll use it now.”
Perfected Huang Long immediately pointed his fingers and created dozens of boundaries that covered the rear hall of the Sea G.o.d Temple. Then, he stared at Li Changshou’s paper effigy that was in the form of an old immortal seriously.
Li Changshou muttered to himself and said, “The battle between the South Ocean and the East Ocean that took place during Ao Yi’s wedding has yet to come to an end. The remnant souls of the living beings in the sea have yet to completely dissipate. The dragon warriors have yet to rest in peace. Why did all of this happen? It’s because the dragon race is unwilling to be recruited by the Western Sect. Since the dragon race was unwilling, the Western Sect resorted to such methods and tricks. They did not hesitate to create a calamity and kill so many lives. In the Western Sect, there are no morals, no justice, and they are two-faced. How can they be called wise masters? How can the Western Sect be a good home?”
Perfected Huang Long nodded slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the Sea G.o.d say, “Senior, what you said just now about the dragon race getting an opportunity to prosper if they pledge allegiance to the Western Sect is even more absurd! How could the Western Sect bring about prosperity? It is all about gaining the recognition of the Heavenly Dao and acc.u.mulating merit. If the dragon race joined the Western Sect, the Western Sect would definitely treat the Dragon King of the Four Seas and the elders of the dragon race well. However, what would happen to the other members of the dragon race? Without a doubt, it would be similar to the rebellion of the Sea Clan and the deep-sea demons, which were instigated by the Western Sect to harm living creatures.”
He continued, “Have you thought about it? Why does the Western Sect want to subdue the dragon race? Isn’t it because they had taken a liking to the merit acc.u.mulated by the dragon race and the power of their remaining members? In that case, it would not take too long. In thousands of years, the dragon race’s negative karma would increase. The Western Sect could make use of the dragon race to do many things. The West could give the Dragon race some benefits in exchange for the complete collapse of the Dragon race’s destiny! Senior, have you thought about that?”
Li Changshou’s words were from the bottom of his heart and it was just a statement about the pros and cons. He was not exaggerating.
It was also because of that that he appeared quite trustworthy.
In addition, Li Changshou’s words were sincere, full of emotions, and infectious. Perfected Huang Long’s emotions were stirred…
