From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 323: Dragon Girl Dharma Ship and Jiao Ming Dharma Ship

Establishing a doctrine and passing on the Dharma is a characteristic of the Middle-earth world. Since the inheritance is mainly based on the aristocratic families in the Middle-earth, it is particularly rare to establish a sect.

At present, there are only two sects in the Central Plains, one is the Taoist Alliance and the other is the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, both of which are in the form of loose alliances.

Therefore, there is more emphasis on passing on the Dharma than accepting disciples, and the relationship between master and disciple is relatively loose, unlike the Fu Li world in Yu Shuyang's previous life, where the sects and masters and disciples were clearly defined.

Yu Shuyang has reached the seventh level of cultivation and is ready to start practicing Taoism and spreading the Dharma. Firstly, this is to inherit the Taoism, which is a matter of course. On the path of cultivation, one must not only practice and prove oneself, but also pass on the Taoism.

Secondly, it is also for the purpose of practicing sexual cultivation. The so-called sexual cultivation is one’s own nature, so one must find something to do to polish one’s own temperament.

In the past, Master Yu once consulted Yu Shuyang about his ambitions. The core of their discussion was "doing things". If one wants to cultivate to the first level and escape the catastrophe, one must have enough "doings" to support the cultivation to the first level.

This "doing" can be a career, such as prospering the family. Most monsters in Middle-earth develop along this path, reproducing offspring and strengthening the family bloodline.

Yu Shuyang was not willing to reproduce and follow Li Taiping's method of raising a clan from one beast. After thinking about it, the only "thing" he could do was to establish the Tao and pass on the Dharma.

"Brother, if you want to establish your own way and pass on your teachings, why don't you plant a luck tree? Then you will have a root in the inheritance of your teachings in the future," Li Taiping suggested.

When a sect is founded, a fortune tree is usually planted. Firstly, it is planted by the sect's founder himself, which has a special meaning. Secondly, it can show blessings and disasters and serve as a warning to disciples.

Yu Shuyang thought about it and thought it was a good idea. He said, "Junior brother, your suggestion is not bad, but what kind of spiritual roots should we plant?"

When it comes to building a sect, Yu Shuyang didn't think about so many details for a while, but Li Taiping and Yang Fuzi took a lot of considerations.

"Many trees of destiny have symbolic meanings. For example, doctors often plant apricot trees, and their apricot forests are well-known. Literary doctors plant ginkgo trees, and there is also an allusion to the apricot altar where lectures are given.

Our Taoist master picked red lotus, green leaves and white lotus roots as objects of luck, but we don’t have such treasures now.

Otherwise, Senior Brother, you should choose a longevity spiritual root, at least you can live longer, and who knows, there might be something extraordinary in the future."

Li Taiping had no good solution for the time being. He planted the fortune tree in order to carry part of the fortune. This not only required the tree to be well planted, but also to have a certain "physical image".

For example, the image of medicine and apricot forest is a forest of apricot trees, which symbolizes the lushness of medicine, and apricot yellow is a noble color.

Yu Shuyang wasn't worried at all, and said with a smile, "I've already cultivated quite a few spiritual roots in my Xuanming Netherland. I'll be able to transplant them out in a few days, and then I can choose from them."

He has no shortage of spiritual root trees. Not counting the cloud tea trees and water grape vines on Hushan Island, there are also six or seven kinds of spiritual root trees cultivated in the underworld.

"There's no rush for this. Brother, you can ask Shuiyue Wutong. I think he has some spiritual root trees." Li Taiping reminded.

The spirit of the Huangliang Taoist Palace used three paulownia trees to manifest itself. It seems that he has other spiritual roots in his hands, and the treasure house of the Taoist Alliance is also in his hands.

Yu Shuyang nodded. He had not been to the Huangliang Taoist Palace since the last catastrophe of heavenly punishment. The establishment of the Donghai Taoist Temple was also discussed by Yin Chenzi and Shuiyue Wutong.

It's also his fault that he is always busy, either in seclusion or practicing magic. Moreover, monsters don't dream when they sleep, so to go to the Huangliang Taoist Palace, they need to cast a spell and enter a dream.

Yu Shuyang was chatting casually while waiting for Tui Yunque to come back. He was wondering in his heart whether Tui Yunque would come back alone this time, or would Qianji Longnv come with him.

Not long after, I saw a misty purple cloud in the sky, and above the cloud was a towering palace. Not to mention how magnificent the building was, just looking at the thirty layers of forbidden barriers, you could tell how powerful it was.

Above the purple cloud, a bird and a sheep were in charge of pushing the clouds and releasing thunder, which urged the purple cloud formation to fly slowly forward.

There are also two dragon beasts, Chao and Hou, in front of the clouds. One summons the wind and the other rides the waves, urging the palace to fly. This palace is the Dragon Girl's magic boat.

Before setting up the formation on the island in the middle of the lake, the dragon girl drove the dragon boat directly over the heads of Yu Shuyang and the others.

Clouds and mist descended from the sky, and a cloud-carrying sedan chair was carried by sixteen golden-armored shrimp soldiers. The dragon girl who was leading the machine was also wearing bright silver chain mail, holding a short sword, and sitting upright on the cloud-carrying sedan chair couch.

When the shrimp soldiers stood still, Buyun Ni also landed on the ground. The dragon girl who was holding the machine did not get up from the couch, but continued to sit upright like a bell.

"Lord Long, how can you not keep your word? We agreed before that you would detoxify the Luowang Taoist soldiers and let Xiaoyun take them back.

Don't think about it, you tricked Xiaoyun into helping you collect clouds, and asked the Taoist soldiers to help you practice magic, this is not very authentic.

If this happened in the inland of Kyushu, this would be considered hiring someone to do the work, and they would have to be paid. But you not only don't pay them, but you also threaten Xiaoyun.

"I'd like to ask, what's the logic behind this? Are you trying to blackmail me just because my father is in seclusion?" Qianji Longnv said angrily with a frown on her face.

Qianji Dragon Girl's father is Yazi Dragon Son. He killed too many people in his early years. In order to overcome the tribulation and break through, he has been in seclusion for more than a thousand years.

In a place like the East China Sea where strength is respected, it is inevitable to be bullied. Therefore, the dragon girl Qianji has an extremely aggressive temperament and is not someone who is easy to get along with.

The last time he came to the lake island to ask for the Anemone sailors, he saw that Yu Shuyang was of the dragon carp bloodline and regarded him as a dragon marquis, so this time he spoke softly to him.

Yu Shuyang was stunned after hearing the question from the Dragon Girl, and sighed in his heart: What a fierce Dragon Girl, but he couldn't admit his mistake at this time.

"Qianji Dragon Girl, you can't say that. I didn't snatch those soldiers from you. In fact, they are all my prisoners.

I originally thought that I would let them go if I asked them to help me practice a spell, but I didn't expect that they would actually deceive me.

It's like a stray dog on the street rushing into my house, not only stealing food but also baring its teeth at me. How can I let it go without an apology?

Yu Shuyang defended himself again. To be honest, he was deceived by the sea anemone sailors and was really angry. If it weren't for Tui Yunque's persuasion, he would have been refined into the Qiankun Snake Bag long ago.

When Qianji Dragon Girl heard Yu Shuyang's explanation, she smiled instead of getting angry and said, "As a carp dragon, you are considered a well-known figure in the Dragon Palace and one of the four dragon marquises from other races.

I used to respect your status, but this time I can't do that. There is a saying in the human race: if someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard.

"What you're doing now, Lord Long, can be described as shameless!"

Qianji Longnu didn't expect Yu Shuyang to defend himself in this way, and she was also angry in her heart. However, she was also concerned about the third-grade demon fairy on the island in the middle of the lake, and didn't want to tear her face off at all, so she had to engage in verbal argument.

Not only did Yu Shuyang see through the Dragon Girl's true intentions, but Li Taiping on the side also saw it. Seeing that the Dragon Girl had made such a big scene but was only engaged in a verbal argument, he knew that she didn't dare to really fight.

"This Dragon Lady has something to say. It's true that the Anemone sailors attacked us, and it's also true that they were defeated and captured.

Last time you came to ask for it, we agreed to return it to you. We didn't want to have any more disputes, but now we have another dispute, all because of that group of Taoist soldiers.

Today, I'm here to act as a peacemaker. Why don't we put aside our differences and arguments and talk? Li Taiping stepped forward to help resolve the situation, each of them giving each other a way out. As soon as the dragon girl landed, she looked at Li Taiping and Yu Shuyang. She didn't recognize the Dao League, but she did know the Si Beast.

The Si beast has escaped catastrophe and ascended to heaven eleven times in the Middle-earth world. It can be said to be a well-known family of demons and immortals. Moreover, the dragon clan has a special relationship with the Si beast.

Si Beast is one of the three elders of the Ox Tribe. Many races in the sea also belong to the Ox Tribe, such as manatees and dragon cows. The two sides have had many dealings in the past.

"Marquis Long asked Elder Niu to come forward, so I have to give him this face. However, Marquis Long, you cannot bully me again and again." The dragon girl walked down the stairs.

She came to solve this matter, not to really fight. She had asked Tui Yunque about this before she came.

The East China Sea dragon clan is also a place where the strong prey on the weak. Even if they appear strong on the outside but are weak on the inside, they still have to maintain their dignity. Once a flaw is revealed, they will be bullied.

Although she would not be devoured in the Dragon Palace, she would be betrothed out to win over outstanding people because she would lose her value.

Yu Shuyang didn't understand the rules of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, but he could see that Qianji Dragon Girl was just a facade of strength. He didn't make any excessive demands, but simply said, "Let's do as we said before. Bring me a bottle of thunder energy in exchange."

The dragon girl did not hesitate and took out a green and white jade bottle and asked a golden-armored shrimp soldier to hold it over.

Yu Shuyang did not hesitate. He took the jade bottle and untied the snake bag, pouring out all the Anemone sailors.

Most of these sea anemone sailors looked listless. Ever since the snake bag digested the Ice Snake Fairy and refined half of the Ice Cold Dao Ban, the inside of the snake bag had become extremely cold.

In order to suppress the Squid Fairy, Yu Shuyang threw the Taiyin Cicada in, which made the snake bag icy and desolate, just like an ice hole or a snow cave.

"Dragon Girl, the three thousand Anemone sailors are all here. Please count them and we will settle the payment." Yu Shuyang said half-jokingly.

The dragon girl glanced at Yu Shuyang viciously, and without saying anything else, she took out a golden dragon-shaped military talisman in her hand, and summoned all the Taoist soldiers in the air.

"Elder Niu, for your sake, this matter is settled.

Lord Long, I also have something to advise you. It's an old saying among the human race, which goes like this: you should perform the opera according to the mountain you are on.

Now that you have come to the East China Sea and are in a place of war, you must not only follow the obvious rules, but also the private rules.

Having said that, let's say goodbye now." The dragon girl said a few words half-heartedly, and then had the golden-armored shrimp soldiers carry Buyun back to the dragon boat.

Purple clouds dissipated, followed by a gust of wind and waves, and the palace turned into a flying dragon, riding on the wind and waves and disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Li Taiping watched the dragon boat disappear into the distance, then turned around and asked, "Is the dragon girl just now called Qianji?"

Yu Shuyang nodded and looked at Li Taiping's bull head. He could feel that his junior brother had something to say.

"The titles of Dragon Girls are fixed. The current generation of Dragon Girls inherits the titles of the previous generation of Dragon Girls. This is somewhat similar to our Dharma lineage inheritance.

Speaking of which, the Qianji Dragon Girl also has a great origin. She is considered a witch in the Dragon Palace and is best at predicting the secrets of heaven, hence the name Qianji.

I never thought that the current Dragon Shaman is actually a Dragon Wolf. It seems that there is constant killing in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. We must be more cautious when we establish a Taoist temple here."

Li Taiping was reminiscing as he spoke. These were all things he had seen and heard when the earlier generations of Si beasts came to the East China Sea, and many of them were also his own experiences.

Yu Shuyang nodded when he heard this, and told Li Taiping some of the things Yin Chenzi had told him, mainly about the battle between the Dragon King of the East China Sea and the God of Wealth, the God of Money, and the God of Goods.

After hearing these things, Li Taiping understood them in his heart and vaguely guessed some things, but he didn't grasp the core. He always felt that this matter was concealed, as if there was something else hidden.

"Brother, I always feel that this matter is a bit strange. The Dragon Palace has always been overbearing. Otherwise, how could they control the sea creatures in the four seas? Even in the inland areas of Kyushu, wherever there is running water, there is a dragon stationed there.

Even if the Qingqiu Fox Clan and the Jiuyi Clan of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance join forces, they cannot compete with the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. You must know that the eight dragon gods are of the same blood, and most of the real dragons are entrenched in the East China Sea.

I suspect there must be something wrong here, but I just can't figure it out, like a needle hidden in a ball of cotton, I can't find it no matter how hard I try.

Li Taiping did not hide anything and expressed his feelings. All the signs showed that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Yu Shuyang nodded and said with a smile: "Junior brother, let's not think about it. There are only three families above the East China Sea: Dragon Palace, Qingqiu, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. They will not deviate from their calculations.

We can just live peacefully here, and when we reach the upper third level of cultivation, we can consider these matters later."

Li Taiping also felt that it made sense. It was really useless to think so much. No matter how the situation in the East China Sea changed, it was not aimed at them. There was no benefit in thinking too much.

"Brother, you are about to come out of retreat. Why not take advantage of the time now, before the Taoist temple is built, to refine the Dharma ship sent by the Chi family monkey immortal.

It's not very convenient for us to not have a boat on our island." Li Taiping thought of Jiao Mingfa's boat, and it was also when he saw the East China Sea dragon boat just now that he suddenly remembered it.

Yu Shuyang took out a small boat the size of a palm from the snake bag. The boat looked like a Jiao Ming bird, like a wooden carved phoenix.

"Right now, I'm not in a hurry to sacrifice it. Instead, the Qiankun Long Snake Bag is almost ready. If I sacrifice it again, it might break through and become a magic weapon."

Jiao Ming's Dharma ship was refined with three levels of restraints. The refinement of the ship's hull was extremely complicated. It was obvious at a glance that it was not an easy one to refine.

When Yu Shuyang customized the magic ship, he saw Yao Jihua driving the nuclear boat. Now he has refined his cloud-traveling ability into a cloud car, and it is very convenient for him to travel, so he is not in a hurry to sacrifice and refine the magic ship.

"Brother, you don't care about Jiao Ming's Dharma ship anymore? If that's the case, I have a method for combining Dao and weapons.

Just like what we have just seen, the dragon boat pushes the clouds to attract wind, and drives the waves to make thunder, the Taoist soldiers can drive the Dharma boat.

I also saw the Dingjia Divine Talisman and the Moral Lotus Leaf you taught Fox, so I can try to cultivate a Moral Golden Boat formation." Li Taiping explained.

Yu Shuyang smiled and pushed the Jiao Ming Dharma Boat to Li Taiping, saying, "I don't need it, but you're not good at flying, so why don't I give it to you?

You can practice it however you want. I don’t have the time to practice the magic weapon slowly right now, so I should focus on cultivation.

Speaking of which, I have to cultivate the Yin-Yang Water Thunder, the Eight Winds Curse, and the Four Seasons Sword, so I don't have the energy to cultivate the Dharma Boat anymore."

Li Taiping did not refuse and swallowed the magic boat in one gulp. His stomach was a natural storage bag and could also be used to refine magic weapons.
