From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 357 The Grand Temple Priest Visits

Hushan Island, Jishuitan.

The purple bamboos have grown as thick as bowls. These bamboos were originally a mixture of black bamboo and purple bamboo. After being taken care of by Li Taiping over the years, they have all returned to their original state.

Every morning when the first rays of sunlight fall, the clouds in the bamboo forest fall on the bamboo leaves and turn into purple dew from the morning sun.

A breeze blew through the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves swayed and scattered dew. These purple morning dew flowed along the ditch and directly into the depths of the Jishuitan.

Chaoyang Purple Dew is the main ingredient in refining Baihua Longevity Wine. Li Changsheng has been very concerned about it and has set up many formations.

This dew is extremely afraid of light. Only when the sun is rising will the dew have the purple aura of the morning sun. Once the time is up, the medicinal properties will be gone.

Usually, it is the crocodile that helps cast spells and guide at Jishuitan, but now only Yu Shuyang can help guide.

Looking at the black lotus in the middle of the pond, Yu Shuyang couldn't help but think of Master Yu. The black lotus contained the inherited luck of the wise fish.

Back then, in Xiyu Blessed Land, before Master Yu broke through his tribulation, he arranged for Yu Shuyang to kill the Wensi Snake species, and then let him take his family away from the Blessed Land.

At that time, Yu Shuyang didn't think too much about it. Later, before leaving the customs, Mr. Gu sent a message that the Great Immortal Xiyu was taken away by the Demon Immortal Chunxiang, and Master Yu was ambushed while trying to overcome the tribulation and was rescued by the Yan family.

It can be said that there were undercurrents at that time. The Lotus Cult behind the Evil Tiger and the White Bone God, and the Snake Cult behind the Snake Master and the Intestinal Snake God, were all ready to make a move in various counties in Wuzhou.

Even after Yu Shuyang and his family settled in Yatou Mountain, they still encountered the long snake demon and the cold dragon of the North Sea in Chaoju City, as if they were haunting them.

From the initial three plants, Mo He has grown to more than three hundred plants now, and the first three plants have also been promoted to fourth-grade spiritual medicines.

Looking at the extremely prosperous Mo He, Yu Shuyang was in a good mood. Earlier, Yu's mother wrote letters to her sisters, and he also sent a letter to Master Yu.

The Yan family in the north has inherited the Confucian teachings from the Nine Schools of Taoism. There is no need to write a detailed address, and the mail can be delivered to the destination.

Unfortunately, Mr. Yu has never replied, and I don’t know how his injury is going.

The luck of the wise fish is sealed in the black lotus pond. As long as the black lotus does not wither in large numbers, Master Yu will be fine.

Yu Shuyang could only think so. To be honest, the Mohe Pond sealed the inherited fortune, which was only equivalent to the fortune of the clan. It was completely different from the fortune tree, and it could not tell the life or death of those related to the fortune.

Just as he was in a daze, a red light flashed and fell into the palm of his hand. He raised his hand and saw that it was a fish scale flying talisman. He crushed it and listened to the voice transmission.

"Island Master Yu, I've told the Dragon Marquis of Beihai about your request. He'll be visiting you with the chief temple priest to discuss the establishment of a temple and a Taoist temple."

The flying talisman was sent by Zhu Gangbiao, and he managed to accomplish the task in just half a day.

He had many considerations when intervening in the matter of the Temple of Goods. There are only four markets in the Middle-earth, namely: Mountain Market, Sea Market, Water Market, and Sky Street.

The four major markets are the foundation of the God of Wealth, and each has a powerful force behind it. For example, Haishi is where maritime trade is located, and behind it is the economy of the True Dragon Clan.

Without the expenses of the sea city to maintain the dragon's descendants, the Dragon Palace's division of the sea area and rule over the aquatic creatures would fall apart.

Similarly, the Huaihe River Water Market is the center of water transportation and trade in the Nine Provinces. The Huaihe River connects the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in the north and south, and is also connected to the Ji River in the north. In this way, the Five Elements and Eight Associations converge here.

Relying on the north-south water transport trade, the Xianmen handicraft industry was supported. Just like what Yu Shuyang saw in the water market, the leaders of the Cao Gang in the north and the Pao Brothers in the southwest all built guild halls in the city.

The Jinlu Island trade initiated by the Emperor of Dongyi and the Qingqiu Fox Clan has never been successful because it lacks a key link, that is, an unstable foundation.

The cargo transportation on Jinlu Island is extremely simple, and there is not even an industry to support it. It is just the business of the Dongyi tribe and the eight demon cities of Yazhou transferred there.

As long as the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea blocks the sea market, all sea merchants will have no choice but to bow their heads and dare not do business with Jinlu Island, forcing Jinlu Island to open up trade routes and run sea trade and cargo transportation on its own.

Just like the trade route that Zhu Sanniang and Li Zhen took, it was the business between Jinlu Island and Shui City, and by the way, they collected the output of the Wuzhou demon fairy family.

Right now, the God of Goods Temple is going to build a temple in the desolate sea and also a market town, so the business behind it will be booming.

Zhu Gangbiao, Tiger Stick Demon Master and others only saw the risks behind it, but only Yu Shuyang saw the huge potential benefits.

If the Desolate Sea Goods Temple is really profitable, it is possible that Hushan Island will not need to be moved, but the Lake Heart Island will be moved instead.

Yu Shuyang took out a fish-scale flying talisman and replied to Zhu Gangbiao, asking him to bring the Dragon Marquis of Beihai and the chief priest of the temple over, as he was waiting for him on the island.

After finishing, he went to take a look at the small bamboo building behind him, only to see that Li Zhen was still not awake. He didn't know why it took so long for him to form a divine alliance with Huang Tong?
The covenant of God is like signing a contract. Both parties must act in accordance with the covenant until the covenant is abolished or one party breaks it.

It was because Li Taiping was in charge of the alliance between the Taoist Alliance and the Middle-earth Heavenly Dao that the Zhang Tiger Clan in Shu tried to claim the inheritance.

Yu Shuyang did not practice Shintoism, but he had heard in the past that the Heavenly Master set up an altar to summon soldiers and generals, and knew that the Heavenly Master cast spells in accordance with the covenant.

Speaking of which, his Dharma form, the Beitian Xuanwu Jinfeng Dharma Platform, can also be regarded as a kind of covenant with the divine alliance of the Four Saints of the North Sky, and he can open an altar to mobilize the heavenly soldiers and generals.

However, this Dharma image will only be truly effective after one has reached the fifth level of cultivation. Now it can only be used as a brick to hit people.

Since Li Zhen had not yet woken up, he was not called. Yu Shuyang got up and went out, preparing to meet Beihai Longhou and others at Wufeng Tower.

The red-haired rat demon He Liuzhi is still imprisoned in the Wufeng Tower. We have to wait for the arrival of the Dragon Marquis of Beihai to clarify this matter.

To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in the matter between the Black-nosed Ground Rat and the Barbarian God Linjun, as the fate-weaving technique of the Emperor of Dongyi might be involved.

Come to think of it, if there hadn't been the thunder disaster in the desolate sea, the Taodu Mountain Islands wouldn't have attracted much attention, and wouldn't have attracted the Tiger Stick Demon Master to use He Liuzhi to stir up trouble.

Judging from the technique, it has a strong flavor of fate-weaving, connecting left and right, front and back, and no one knows how many tricks are hidden in secret.

Yu Shuyang walked through the sesame fields and tea gardens, watching the golden bees flying in the flower fields. These golden bees in separate nests have been collecting nectar all year round and have mutated, awakening their bee bloodline.

The magical honey on Hushan Island is also a major feature. In recent years, except for being used by Li Taiping to make wine, the rest has been used by Jin Hu to make candied fruits.

The sand pigs cultivate the spiritual fields and orchards. In addition to the fresh fruits sent to Yu's Noodle Shop, many of them are made into dried fruits and candied fruits.

There are quite a few of these candied fruits, and they are all sold directly to Yao's Grain Store on Jinhu Island. Ever since Li Zhen and Mu Lingge went to Sanxian Island to learn their skills, all the miscellaneous businesses on Hushan Island have been transferred to Yao's Grain Store.

Of course, my eighth brother-in-law Huang Wenxun turned around and took charge of the Donghai business, and he often went to Uncle Mo to pick up goods.

Yu Shuyang didn't care about these things at all. For example, the business of candied fruits was left to Jinhu. In the end, Jinhu, Sha Yi and Yu Shuyang split the profits in a 30-70 ratio.

The Five Winds Tower was built on the tiger's head on Tiger Mountain. Now it has been refined to the fifth level of magic by the Golden Tiger. If it continues to be refined at this rate, it is likely that it will be difficult to refine a magic weapon until death.

Jin Hu practices magic upstairs all year round. Now she has dispersed all the affairs of the Golden Bee Clan. One group is planting snake medicine fields, another group is panning for gold sand and pressing it into money, and the ones in the flower fields have formed a whole new clan.

She was also influenced by Yu Shuyang and no longer took charge of all matters, big and small, like she did in her early years, preventing the younger generations in the clan from growing.

Sensing Yu Shuyang's presence, Jin Hu immediately got up and went downstairs. Before leaving, she left the Five Wind Flag in the building and secretly used a forbidden spell to subdue He Liuzhi.

This red-haired rat wasn't a good kid. Ever since he entered the Five Winds Tower, he'd been trying to escape by digging a hole. He was beaten several times by the power of wind and thunder, and only then did he finally behave himself. "Island Master."

The bee demon Jinhu came forward and greeted him.

"The North Sea Dragon Marquis from the East Sea Dragon Palace is coming over. You take the two Zhu sisters with you to make some arrangements. I'm planning a banquet at the Five Winds Tower.

"How's that red-haired rat demon? Is he still behaving well?" Yu Shuyang asked patiently.

"In reply to the island master, I have sealed the rat demon in the side room downstairs. He tried to escape several times." Jin Hu did not cover up for He Liuzhi and directly reported him.

Yu Shuyang nodded and motioned her to go downstairs and prepare.

Three wind pillars were erected in front of the Five Winds Tower. Influenced by the Eight Directions Thunder Platform, the wind pillars carried a force of wind and thunder.

Yu Shuyang took off the Saoxia Fairy Clothes and said to the Saoxia Boy, "This wind and thunder power is useless if it stays here. Go and collect it."

The Saoxia Fairy Clothes were upgraded to a true form magic weapon, especially after the Five Thunder City Shadows were collected and refined on the fairy clothes to transform into five thunder pattern talismans.

Because the Thunder City ritual was relatively weak and could not be promoted to Daojin, Yu Shuyang was thinking about whether he should refine the thunder source stored in the Thunder Altar into the Sweeping Cloud Fairy Clothes.

Yu Shuyang held the Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi in his hand and silently observed the aura on the island. Hushan Island was blessed with a favorable feng shui, and was worthy of the phrase "dragons coiling and tigers crouching".

At the beginning, Yang Fuzi instructed him to give wings to Hushan, hoping that he would use this place to open up a blessed land. Even if he escaped the calamity and ascended to heaven in the future, he would leave a precious land for his disciples like the Turtle Mountain in Huaishui.

There is an Iron Mother raised in Tiger Mountain. To feel its spiritual charm, ever since the stone fetus was taken away by the Thunder God Fenglong, the Iron Mother fell into the tiger's belly.

Yu Shuyang no longer had the idea of giving birth to the Iron Mother. In the early years, he had the idea of gathering the five elements boys, such as the earth element Zhixian Tuliu, the water element Tea Tree Spirit Yunhua, and the fire element Candle Fire Spirit Wanjia.

The Wind Spirit Qifeng belongs to the Wood element in the Five Elements. In fact, he only lacks the Gold element. He had also thought of the Iron Mother at the beginning.

Not long after, Jin Hu took the two sisters of the Zhu family to set up the Wufeng Tower. There was no need to stir-fry hot dishes, just put the spiritual fruits, candied fruits, and spiritual wine on the table.

Afterwards, Jin Hu took the two sisters of the Zhu family to the snake medicine field on the west bank, specifically to wait for Zhu Gangbiao and Beihai Longhou.

About half a day later, Jin Hu and the others welcomed Zhu Gangbiao and the others in. The group of monsters came on a dragon boat.

The leader was not Hai Damu, the Dragon Lord of the North Sea, but a monster with two deer horns on his head. He was the chief priest of the Temple of the God of Goods.

The temple priest was a vine spirit in his previous life, and then reincarnated as a deer demon. Now, he holds a vine cane in his hand, and the whole body exudes the scent of incense.

"What a fairyland atmosphere this place has! It's so noble." The temple priest looked at Hushan Island and couldn't stop praising it.

Hai Damu was wearing a dragon robe, holding a flag in his hand, and had a purple gold and white jade belt around his waist, which made him look more noble and majestic.

"Master, there are many formations on this island. When we build a market town in the future, we must also build a large formation."

Hai Damu was building an underwater palace. Looking at the layout on Hushan Island, he felt envious.

"Nonsense! We are practitioners who worship the gods. All material possessions are detrimental to our practice. Only worshipping the gods is the foundation of our practice."

The chief temple priest taught his apprentice in a calm voice, ever since the East China Sea Dragon Palace appointed Hai Damu as the Dragon Marquis and the sea toad clan respected him as the clan leader, he had been feeling a little proud these days.

Shinto practice is different from the Nine-Level Immortal Cultivation Method. The core of it all is based on the rules of the gods. Only when the Shinto position is high can the temple priests exist for a long time.

Under the guidance of the Golden Tiger, a group of monsters climbed up the Tiger Head Peak and came to the square of the Five Winds Tower. At this time, Yu Shuyang also came out to greet them.

The chief temple priest looked at Yu Shuyang from afar and felt that he was very noble, which contained the affinity between immortals and Taoists, and also had good deeds and morals.

"Island Master Yu, please."

Yu Shuyang didn't recognize the chief temple priest, so he signaled Zhu Gangbiao with his eyes to introduce him to someone.

"Island Master Yu, this is the master of Beihai Longhou, the chief priest of the Temple of Goods." Zhu Gangbiao hurriedly introduced.

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuyang also bowed his head and saluted, saying with a smile: "Grand Temple Master, I am honored. Lord Beihai Dragon, let's go inside.

I have set up a cold banquet in the building. Let’s join the club and discuss the follow-up.”

Hai Damu laughed when he heard that and walked ahead respectfully to the teacher.

In this way, a group of demons filed in and sat down at the guest and host seats. They were not there for food, but they were just unfamiliar with each other and could not discuss business directly.

Fortunately, Zhu Gangbiao was there. He was responsible for introducing the two parties to each other. After a few pleasantries, they found a topic to talk about.

In the end, the matter fell on Haidamute. Yu Shuyang and the chief temple priest were both in no position to speak, so he had to start the conversation.

"Island Master Yu, I heard that you are interested in helping build the Temple of Goods on Hongchi Island. I wonder if you know the origin of the black-nosed mole spirit?" Hai Damu asked with a smile.

"I'm not really sure. Why don't I ask Lord Long for some advice?" Yu Shuyang pretended not to know.

"That black-nosed mole is the priest of the barbarian god Linjun. He is connected to the Bashu barbarians and is not easy to offend.

This time, her help is needed to create the Desert Sea Market. Ba Man is good at making salt and sugar, and also knows how to make wax.

If Island Master Yu has a grudge against him, why don't I help mediate?" Hai Damu said with a grin.

Yu Shuyang had a clue when he heard this, and he said nonchalantly, "I've been away from the Desolate Sea for five or six years, and I have nothing to do with the black-nosed ground rats of Hongchi Island.

However, the original owner of Hongchi Island, He Liuzhi, is on my island, so this matter is complicated.

He Liu pointed out that he was from the Sea Rat Clan, and Long Hou should be familiar with this clan, especially his cousin, the Golden Eared Rat Fairy, who was in charge of the affairs of the Golden Deer Island.

"It's not difficult for us to build the temple. The key is the matter of Water City. It's not good to make enemies with both Jinlu Island and Hai City, right?" Yu Shuyang persuaded with a smile.

"What about Island Master Yu's idea?" Hai Damu looked a little unhappy.

"I'd ask the chief temple priest about this. What are your plans? Will you preach or do business?"

Yu Shuyang was also proud. Seeing Hai Damu's expression, he simply ignored him.
