From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 361: The Bottomless Pit of Red Island (Part )

On the west coast of Hushan Island, Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen boarded a ship and headed to Hongchi Island together. This ship was bought from Fujia Shipping Company last time.

He Liuzhi was worried about being harmed by the black-nosed groundhog, so he refused to go with them. Yu Shuyang did not force him and only asked the bee demon Jinhu to keep an eye on him.

The two bee monsters driving the ship are both from the Golden Bee clan. The reason they were chosen is because they are the most advanced in swordsmanship.

In order to avoid disturbing the two monsters, the bee monster Jinhu assigned them the job of sailing a ship since the bee tribe all worked in groups.

There is no need to travel on Hushan Island, and most of the time people stay on the island. Therefore, sailing a ship is really the easiest thing to do. Unexpectedly, today I met Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen who were going to a meeting.

The two bee monsters each held a paddle and paddled the water again and again in a sword-thrusting posture. This was also the way they usually practiced swordplay.

Yu Shuyang was on the ship and could sense it. He smiled knowingly and asked the two demons, "What are your names?"

"Jin Shisan."

"Gold Hundred Six."

The two bee monsters gave their names one by one.

Yu Shuyang was stunned at first, then asked, "Why do you two call yourself that?"

"Reporting to the island master, in the Golden Bee Clan, there are only surnames and rankings." Jin Shisan took the lead in replying.

The queen bee has always been the leader of the bee colony, and the worker bees below are anonymous and devote their lives without being given special names.

Yu Shuyang chuckled when he heard the answer. He thought it was the same as the sand pig, wondering if it was a technique of impeachment. After hearing the answer, he finally understood.

Insects such as bee monsters, ant monsters, and spider monsters all have an inertia, which is that they cannot leave the insect nest, which is essentially the insect mother's bondage to the insects.

Also because of the relationship between the insect mother and the insects, it is particularly easy for them to become spirits. This means that the number of insects in the insect nest must be limited. After all, the resources for cultivation are limited.

Therefore, the insect mother will not give the insects independent consciousness, nor will she give them real names. Most of them will be given pseudonyms according to their surnames and order.

"Your swordplay is good, but your understanding of the way of the sword is too superficial. Swordplay is not limited to just sword strikes."

Yu Shuyang held a Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi in his hand and used the Ruyi as a sword to gently draw a line on the water surface. The sword light flew across the water surface, just like a water skipping ball.

The sword light was seen turning back nine times in a row, like a zigzag shape. This move was called Swallow Strike. The sword energy was like a dragonfly skimming the water, and had the momentum of a swallow's return strike.

“The sword’s light and energy are both the sword’s thrusts. Once you strike with all your strength, it’s gone. You must use the sword’s light and energy to strike again.

This way, the sword-throwing technique remains timeless and can catch the enemy off guard." Yu Shuyang explained to the two bee demons.

Yan Ji is the core killing move of the sword-wielding school. It can generate sword energy and exert the same power as a magic sword.

Jin Shisan and Jin Bailiu were both stunned. The art of swordplay was about killing the enemy with a sword. They practiced swinging the sword by using oars to hit the water, and they never thought it could be possible in this way.

"Thank you, Island Master, for teaching me the Dharma."

The two demons knelt down and kowtowed.

Yu Shuyang smiled with satisfaction and said, "Hurry up and row the boat well. When you can use this trick, I will accept you two into the Sword Sect."

When I first taught the sword-throwing technique to the Golden Bee clan, it was because I was attracted by the golden needle on the bee monster's tail, thinking that it would be suitable for practicing the sword-fighting technique.

Unfortunately, the Golden Bee Clan all practice gold-eating. They have golden needles on their bodies but are not good at sword stabbing. When they practice stabbing sword techniques, they are like blockheads and have no idea how to do it.

The two bee monsters were extremely grateful. They paddled the boat quickly and arrived at Hongchi Island in just half a day.

The reason why Hongchi Island is named Hongchi is because the island is made up of red corals, so it is better to say that it is a coral reef than an island.

The island is surrounded by living coral polyps that never stop growing. The dead coral polyps will become part of the island reef.

At this time, there were many wax figures placed on the shore of Hongchi Island. They were all monsters that had been poisoned by the wax cicada Gu. Most of their flesh and blood turned into wax and they lost their lives.

"Cousin, did you see the black-nosed groundhog's tricks?" Yu Shuyang pointed at the wax figure and reminded Li Zhen.

This black-nosed ground rat calls herself Lady Wolfsbane, and her methods are extremely cruel. According to rumors, she has refined at least two kinds of poisonous insects, one of which is the wax cicada poison, and its effectiveness needs no further explanation.

The other one is the ghost Gu. According to He Liuzhi's narration, he saw the ghost Gu killing people with his own eyes on the island, which made Yu Shuyang mistakenly think that she was a grass Gu woman.

"Don't worry, cousin. With the Yin Jiao Scissors in my hand, no poisonous insects can do anything to me. If they are really angry, I will cut them with the scissors and guarantee that all the poisonous insects will become dead." Li Zhen said with a smile.

The poisonous insect can catch other monsters by surprise, but for Li Zhen, it really can't do anything to him. Whether it is the Yin Jiao shears or the spiritual treasure in the treasury, they can subdue him with one move.

Yu Shuyang hurriedly reminded him, "Don't forget, the black-nosed ground rat is not only able to cast poison, but is also the messenger of the barbarian god Linjun."

Li Zhen also knew the power of Shintoism. The authority of the gods often had miraculous effects. For example, the Broken Money Mountain of the Yinku God of Wealth could restrain all demons and ghosts.

Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen went ashore one after another, stood on the shore and looked around, but did not find any monster coming out to greet them, so they had to walk into the island.

Every few steps they took, they would see a skinny, red-haired rat spirit. Most of these rats would hold a scented candle and slowly gnaw on it.

Without investigating, one can tell that there must be something fishy about these candles, otherwise, the red-haired rat spirits wouldn't all be so foolish as to gnaw on the candles.

Walking further in, you will see a black forest. These black trees are like banyan trees, and they even have aerial roots growing on their branches, which look very dense.

Seeing this strange forest, Yu Shuyang reached out to stop Li Zhen and said, "Cousin, it's really dangerous to go ahead. This strange forest must be under a spell."

A dark cloud was floating over the black forest, in which was floating a colorful hungry ghost - the ghost of a beautiful woman. This beautiful woman was good at bewitching people and could transform into various beauties to seduce men.

Those men who were seduced by the female ghost had only one fate, which was to be sucked dry by the female ghost until they died of exhaustion.

Li Zhen had not cultivated the divine pupil. When his cousin reminded him, he used the spiritual officer's divine transformation. When he looked at the black forest again, he couldn't help but blush with shame.

"What a shameless rat demon."

The spiritual officer on duty at the treasury swung up the golden mace of heaven, ready to destroy the filth before him and refine all the female perverts into the Broken Money Mountain.

"Hey, little brother, why are you so angry? Diet for men and women is the law of nature."

A delicate voice came from the dark woods, and soon a woman in a white robe walked out. Her appearance and dress were very beautiful.

"I am your little slave Black-nosed Ground Rat. You can also call me by my nickname Madam Wolfsbane. I wonder what you two young men should call me." The woman in white robe held up her skirt in one hand and a straw basket in the other. The basket was filled with red wolfsbane flowers, which are as poisonous as heartbreak grass.

"Madam Wolfbane, we are here because we were invited to discuss the matter of Desolate Sea City with you. What do you have to say?"

Li Zhen did not put away the Shinto incarnation. He took out the visiting card sent by Beihai Longhou and asked directly.

Seeing that no one gave her face, Madam Langdu couldn't help but feel angry, especially Li Zhen's undisguised expression of disgust, which made her feel unspeakable hatred.

Originally, she was like a saint of the Dongman tribe. If the Dongman and Liaoman tribes had not fought, and the underground god had not expelled Linjun, she would not have fled far to the East China Sea.

“I need you to send a treasure ship to help me pick up my people. I don’t care about the water market or anything like that.

However, if you want white salt, brown sugar, and wax oil, you must bring the cave barbarians here, otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything else."

Mrs. Wolfsbane changed her smiling look and stated her request coldly through gritted teeth.

The Dongman tribe had their altar overturned and their sacred caves burned down by the Liaoman tribe. All their leaders were captured, beheaded and offered as sacrifices to the underground god, and the ordinary Dongman tribes were driven out of the Shiwan Mountains.

Lady Langdu led her people eastward along the river. Along the way, she was rejected by both humans and demons, and was not allowed to settle down, all the way to Wufeng Mountain on the coast of the East China Sea.

The Wufeng Mountain was the Wang family's property, but they still refused to let Madam Langdu settle down. At that time, Madam Langdu looked at the vast ocean and felt infinite despair in her heart.

Mrs. Langdu, who was in a desperate situation, made a bet with the Wang family. The result was predictable. She was almost beaten to death in the sea. If it were not for the rescue of He Liuzhi's son, she would have been killed by the monsters in the desolate sea.

Later, she sacrificed the poisonous insects and concocted the female ghost in order to seek revenge on the Wang family and rescue all the clan members.

"I wonder how many people in your tribe there are and where they live?" Li Zhen asked tentatively.

"It's not far. There's a Five Peaks Mountain on the coast of the East China Sea. There are eight thousand cave barbarians there. You can just help bring them over."

Madam Langdu said it briefly, and as for the Wang family of Wufeng, she did not mention a word, and just let Li Zhen and others find a solution.

The Dragon Marquis of Beihai was originally asked to help with this matter, but the sea toad was fascinated by Madam Wolfbane and came to her again and again to be intimate with her.

If it weren't for Long Hou's identity, he would have been exploited to death long ago. After several private interactions, Madam Langdu knew about the affairs of the Desolate Sea City.

That's why the salt, sugar and wax from the cave barbarians helped to support the water market. To be honest, Madam Langdu had nothing to do with the Emperor of Dongyi.

The Emperor of Dongyi did have a plan behind the scenes. He wanted to revitalize the maritime trade of Jinlu Island. The Temple of Goods needed goods to build a Taoist temple, which could absorb all the goods from Jinlu Island.

As for the Menzhou Baiyi trade route, he could not expose the connection between the Nine Yi tribes, so as not to arouse hatred of the Hua people towards the Li people.

This time, Yu Shuyang guessed wrong, mistakenly believing that the Emperor of Dongyi used the art of fate weaving to connect the Black-nosed Groundhog, the Cave Barbarians, and the Dragon Marquis of the North Sea.

Li Zhen's eyes turned as he thought about the Wang family of Wufeng Mountain, but he couldn't figure it out. Out of caution, he asked a few more questions.

"Mrs. Wolfbane, I have a suggestion, I wonder if you are interested?
A temple is going to be built in Huanghai City. I wonder if you are interested in building a temple for the Barbarian God?
If you are willing to build a temple, why don't we make an exchange for this matter?

My family's treasure ship is not in the East China Sea, so I can't help you pick up people for the time being."

Li Zhen stared at Madam Langdu, watching the changes in her facial expression, trying to get a glimpse of something from it.

Lady Wolfsbane's expression remained unchanged. She took out a flower from the straw basket, put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it gently. In an instant, the wolfsbane flower turned into dry grass.

"Don't talk about anything else. My only request is to bring the barbarians over."

The barbarian god Linjun is the ancestor of the Dongman people. He is also a ghost god and does not need incense offerings. Compared with incense, the tribe members are more important.

Moreover, Madam Langdu could sense that the two demon tribes that had come to the island had always been aiming for the Wild Sea Water Market. It seemed that they had been tricked by the Dragon Marquis of the North Sea.

Following the principle that the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, Lady Wolfbane insisted on doing it, only offering the barbarians as exchange terms, and refused to listen to any other arguments.

Seeing this, Li Zhen knew that it would be difficult to convince Madam Langdu. He glanced at his cousin Yu Shuyang sideways, indicating to him if he had any questions.

Yu Shuyang watched coldly for a long time. He could see the weirdness of the black-nosed ground rat. This rat demon was not a barbarian. It must have practiced the Divine Sect's method earlier.

Nowadays, the black-nosed groundhog is haunted by evil spirits, including the murderous ghost Gu, the evil charm of the wax cicada Gu, and even the lewdness of the female ghost.

One can see from the divine eyes that there is a lustful monster. In order to suppress the weirdness in its body, the black-nosed ground rat is taking wolfsbane flowers, using this poison to kill the evil thoughts.

It can be seen that she is struggling. It seems that the foundation of her cultivation must have been damaged at the beginning, and the Barbarian God Linjun must be in a very bad condition.

"Madam Wolfbane, there is something I don't understand, and I would like to ask you for your advice.

According to legend, the Dongman and Liaoman belong to the same barbarian tribe, and the Dicun God and Linjun are also barbarian gods, and they have lived together for tens of millions of years.

Why are the two barbarian tribes fighting amongst themselves this time, even driving out the Dongman tribe?" Yu Shuyang explained word by word.

Upon hearing this, Madam Langdu's expression instantly darkened, even becoming extremely displeased. After a long pause, she finally spoke, "Little Taoist priest, this internal strife among the barbarians has nothing to do with you. It's best not to get involved."

Speaking of which, the Liaoman suddenly went crazy and attacked the Dongman, which surprised Lady Langdu very much. The altar and the cave were destroyed, and Linjun just asked her to escape with her people.

There were quite a few people from the Dongman tribe, at least more than 300,000 scattered across the Shiwan Mountains. At that time, she brought out only 20,000 to 30,000 tribes.

To be honest, the barbarians who have been entrenched in the Shiwan Mountains have always faced the Chinese dynasties. Every time a dynasty collapsed and rose again, there were barbarians who attacked the Shiwan Mountains.

The barbarians also fought by relying on their scattered tribesmen. Whenever the dynasty's troops attacked, they would go up the mountain and hide in caves. The war would end after a few years of fighting between the two sides.

This time, the Liaoman sent out elite soldiers to raid the altar and the cave, and captured all the leaders, which made the cave barbarians lose their ability to resist.

If it weren't for the order from the Barbarian God Linjun, Madam Langdu could have gathered a team of more than 30,000 people with the help of the tribes around the sacred cave, and while fighting against the Liao barbarians, she could have organized the cave barbarians to unite.

I think it wouldn't end like this, but Linjun asked her to lead the tribe to flee eastward. They couldn't find a suitable place to stay until they arrived at Wufeng Mountain, where they were almost killed in the East China Sea.

"Thank you for your guidance, madam. We will be leaving now." Yu Shuyang has discovered through the art of collecting wind and observing qi that a bottomless pit has been dug out deep in the Hongchi Island.

There is an extremely weak spirit in this cave, which I think is the barbarian god Linjun. Linjun's condition is even worse than that of the black-nosed groundhog.

The most crucial thing is that Yu Shuyang spied on a deadly thing - the divine salt. In his previous life in the Fuli world, the divine salt was a taboo in humanity.

The divine salt is the poison of the immortals. Once you are contaminated by it for a while, it will be like a cancer attached to your bones and it will be difficult to get rid of it. You can only become a poisonous insect.
