Cursed Mountains and Seas

Chapter 203 The Immortal Child's Miscalculation, A Dimensional Reduction Attack

If a normal person saw that strange object in the mother-of-pearl box, they would immediately become wary.

But Xing Yulang seemed to be bewitched, looking at the Blood Soul Banner as if he saw a stunningly beautiful woman lying face down.

I instinctively reached out and took it out of the box.

His eyes were unfocused, and he murmured:
"My baby! My baby!"

Just as it approached him, the half of the Blood Soul Banner suddenly leaped up, turning into a blood mist that seeped deep into his body through his mouth and nose.

Intense pain assaulted every nerve in his body. He wanted to scream, but his throat was out of control, and he could only let out a few hoarse moans.

"Ho ho."

At the same time, wisps of strange Dao Qi, like worms constantly wriggling, descended from the heavens and merged into his body.

Clearly, this is one of the six ancient qi that was replaced by the righteous qi of the three officials two thousand years ago!

Unlike the Three Officials' Righteous Qi, which only affects "sex" and does not interfere with "fate," this Daoist Qi is fundamentally helping Xing Yulang to "transform himself."

This romantic man was like a balloon, sometimes inflating two or three times to become a giant, and sometimes shrinking to the size of a baby.

Bones, muscles, internal organs, and even race are all reshaped in this process.

The courtesan, Peony, who had just been calling him "Xing Lang" repeatedly, now had a cold gaze and didn't care at all about her "lover's" life or death.

This embodies the fundamental principle of the Orchid Method: feigning sincerity to the extreme.

If they wanted to, they could satisfy a man's vanity like never before, including feigning joy, feigning anger, feigning shyness, feigning innocence, and even feigning overwhelming happiness.

Now it's just that the mask has been removed, and the person has returned to their original state.

Just then, the window was blown open by the wind and then suddenly closed, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in a Taoist robe, with delicate features, quietly appeared behind her.

Peony's face immediately broke into a smile again, her eyes shining with a pink light, and she knelt respectfully on the ground:
"Master, you've arrived."

The plan to subdue the newly appointed commander of Zhenhaiwei, Xing Yulang, went smoothly.

With the hereditary official position inherited from his ancestors, as long as he demonstrates strength comparable to a fifth-rank official using your half of the Blood Soul Banner, he will definitely be able to secure this position.

None of the ordinary people in Zhenhaiwei could possibly see the mystery of the immortal magic.

He controls Zhenhaiwei, one of the four great guards of the Great Zhao Dynasty, the Yuegang port, and one of the most elite naval forces in Minzhou, plus your intelligence organization Rouge Tower and Zeng Yiben's pirate gang.

With the combined forces of black, white, and gray, the entire Xiangzhou Prefecture, and even the entire Minzhou capital, is destined to become your hunting ground for prey!

The Child Rejuvenator nodded to her:

"Well, get up."

A month ago, Fairy Boy returned from overseas aboard a merchant ship that he had devoured, and his first landing point was near Moon Harbor.

However, he sensed the presence of Yan Yunxiao, the Earthly Dragon Maiden, and did not dare to enter her Daoist realm. Instead, he went to Xiangzhou City, a prefecture city of a higher level.

Although there is a City God here, he is just a clay and wooden statue that has long been marinated in incense smoke. He is slow to react and is more than capable of dealing with evil spirits, but he cannot be harmed in the slightest.

During this period, Tong Xian subdued not only the great pirate Zeng Yiben, but also the orchid lineage successors of various brothels in the vicinity, forming an intelligence organization called Rouge Tower.

This queen of flowers, Peony, is one of its core members.

"Yes, Master!"

Peony rose to her feet at the command, her eyes filled with obedience.

This is not just control from immortal magic, but also real benefits.

The "Golden Chamber Techniques of the Bedchamber" in the hands of the Rejuvenating Immortal is the core inheritance of the lineage and will not be passed on to outsiders. Even if it were given to ordinary divine officials, they would not be able to learn it without the talent and conditions of Wang Cheng and the other two.

However, even the slightest glimpse of the immortal techniques from the world outside the wall was enough to astound the officials of the divine path here.

The most crucial point: Immortal arts can strengthen and transform the physical body!
Immortality is not so easy, but simply remaining unchanged in appearance until death and eternally youthful is enough to drive brothel workers and all noblewomen crazy.

In addition, the Rejuvenating Immortal also possessed the ability to send children out of thin air, and in a very short time, he quietly laid a large net in Xiangzhou Prefecture.

"Master, please have some tea."

Peony had previously undergone the Blood Soul Banner transformation and knew that it would take another twelve hours to complete the metamorphosis.

Xing Yulang would retain that half of the Blood Soul Banner, and with the blessing of the ever-changing Blood God Weapon, he would be much stronger than her.

She then led the child-returning fairy to the octagonal table in her boudoir, poured tea for her, and carefully served her.

"Peony, have you found out who this top-tier [living ghost/deity] is?"

The Rejuvenating Immortal took a sip of tea that was far inferior to the tea of ​​the Immortal Realm, and then placed the teacup on the table. In this mortal world, apart from the delicious taste of people, nothing else is as good as the Immortal Realm.

If it weren't for his important mission and his covetousness for the "treasures of immortality" scattered everywhere, he wouldn't want to stay here for even a day longer.

"Master, everything has been investigated."

The one who rushed to the aid of Qingque Temple on that day was Yu Zhifu, the commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese forces, a third-rank "Tiger General".

The bombardment was launched by his own naval forces under the command of the Minzhou Military Commander and by pirates who had been granted amnesty. It was said that the General's office had specially created a position of "Commander of the Waterways" to specifically manage these pirates who had been granted amnesty.

Excitement gleamed in Peony's eyes; in her eyes, the Rejuvenating Immortal was an omnipotent immortal.

Since they were unharmed after encountering the renowned Yu Long and Qi Hu, they must be of the same level. Once they found out who their enemy was, they were determined to take revenge.

Bang!
The Immortal of Rejuvenation slammed his hand on the table and hissed angrily in a low voice:

"How dare you, Yu Zhifu, oppose this immortal and ruin my plans!"

He touched his waist; although he had already repaired his lower body with his own flesh and blood reserves, he could still seem to feel the chilling coldness of the blade from before.

If he hadn't deliberately used the "Immortal Technique: Decapitation and Immortality" to split his upper body, he would have been annihilated if struck by the Subduing Tiger Dragon Zen Sword.

He gritted his teeth and said fiercely:

"When I see him again, I will definitely..." Under Peony's expectant gaze, she uttered the second half of the sentence with murderous intent:

"Let him go for now."

"Ok?"

The courtesan didn't hear the answer she expected. She looked up abruptly but met a pair of cold eyes. She immediately lowered her head and dared not speak again.

Incidentally, he also put away the arrogance that came with having a "celestial" backer, which made him disregard the spirits and gods of the world.

The Orchid lineage is adept at reading people's expressions and has a premonition that if she acts carelessly and offends living spirits, her master will definitely not stand up for her.

She glanced back at the third-rank Zhenhai Guard commander who had promised to marry her, still undergoing his transformation, and then said to Huan Tong Xian with seductive eyes:

"Master, I have worked hard these past few days and have accumulated a lot of vital energy. How about I help you with your cultivation?"

The Immortal's tense expression eased slightly, and he nodded, allowing Peony to help him undress.

Without the prerequisite of mutual yin and yang harmony and mutual affection between the two partners, the "Golden Chamber Techniques of the Bedchamber" is simply a technique of sexual intercourse.

The Rejuvenating Immortal intends to use his Orchid Lineage as a means to extract the essence of countless "Huang Mouren" for his own use.

Not only can they quickly recover their original strength, but they will also become stronger over time, with their cultivation level increasing far faster than that of ordinary divine officials.

Of course, the probability that he accidentally steps on a landmine is a million times higher than that of others!
When master and servant resume their intimate relations.

The light on the Bodhisattva statue and the patriarch statue enshrined in the main hall of this brothel gradually dimmed.

The Bodhisattva statue has bones that are hooked together like a lock, hence the name "Lockbone Bodhisattva".

Legend has it that in ancient times there was a courtesan who used her beauty to lure men who frequented brothels into reciting Buddhist scriptures, thus awakening their Buddhist wisdom through lustful desires and ultimately helping them overcome them.

The bones left behind by this courtesan after her death were all connected together like a lock.

Thus, she was called the "Clavicle Bodhisattva" by the Orchid School. Due to the passage of time, people can no longer distinguish whether she is a ghost or deity of the Orchid School or one of the incarnations of the Nine Heavens Dao Qi.

The other portrait is of Guan Zhong, the founder of the Orchid Method and the first person to open an official brothel.

With the restoration of the power of the Rejuvenating Immortal, who is called a fairy child but is actually more evil than a demon.

Click!

Both the Bodhisattva statue and the portrait of Guan Zhong suddenly cracked open, their spirituality vanishing completely, and this was only the beginning of their plan.

The next day, white banners fluttered and mournful music filled the air at the Xing Mansion, which was located within the Zhenhaiwei Garrison.

Evil spirits and ghosts roam the human world. Only those elderly people who die peacefully in their old age, and whose families are wealthy enough to invite deities to perform rituals for their souls, will choose to keep their bodies in state for seven days.

In the hot summer, most families would keep a body for no more than three days.

Those who died unexpectedly were often buried or even burned on the same day, to prevent their strong resentment from turning into evil spirits and slaughtering the whole family.

Those fools who say, "My late father was most afraid of fire, Master, please think of a way," have long since died out in this world.

Xing Baichuan only left behind his clothes, so there was no need to worry about him coming back to life. However, Xing Yulang didn't have the patience to wait seven days before collecting the money, so he paid three days in advance.

"Commander Wang has come too."

"Lord Qianhu has made great contributions in Yingzhou this time. The news has spread throughout the twenty-four coastal guards. You have truly brought honor to our Zhenhai Guard."

"If we go out and say we're from Zhenhaiwei, who won't look up to us?"

"Lord Commander."

Upon seeing that Wang Cheng had also come to the banquet, the officials and generals who had arrived earlier greeted him one after another.

These people had personally witnessed the commander and Imperial Censor Wang deliberately sending him to the Eastern Sea Kingdom as a spy. They had only heard some details of the mission, and any one of them would have faced a near-death experience if they had gone.

Now, not only are they still alive, but they have also performed great deeds and, disregarding past grievances, have come to attend Xing Baichuan's funeral. Everyone is deeply moved:

"Commander Wang is truly a loyal and righteous man!"
If Commander Xing could know from beyond the grave that he had such good subordinates in Zhenhaiwei, he would surely be moved to tears, wouldn't he?

Xing Baichuan, who has already been partially digested:

I dared not move, not even a little bit, for fear that my soul would be scattered.

Having also received an invitation, Shen Yueye, who came on behalf of the Shan Hai Association, quietly tugged at his sleeve.

"Fugui, after the banquet, shall we really give them a hundred taels?"

Wang Cheng leaned close to the girl's ear, lowered his voice, and chuckled:

"Senior sister, let me ask you, the people of Dazhao avoid the word 'death'."

Emperors were said to have "collapsed," feudal lords were said to have "died," scholars were said to have "lost their fortunes," commoners were said to have "died," Taoist priests were said to have "ascended to heaven," and Buddhist monks were said to have "passed away in nirvana."

What do we call it when the enemy dies?

Shen Yueye tilted her head:

"Uh, I don't know."

Wang Cheng flashed a peace sign in a very cheeky way:
"Say 'Oh yeah!'"
You don't even know this? You didn't even recognize the 'OK' sign your senior made on the head last time. I'll teach you a foreign language sometime when I have some free time tonight.

Moreover, don't you think it's worth spending 100 taels to buy a front-row seat on such a joyous occasion?

Besides, it's uncertain whether we'll even need to pay that young master Xing after the banquet, or if he'll actually get the commander's position.

Shen Yueye pinched his waist angrily and muttered, "My mother is a foreigner, and my foreign languages ​​are excellent. I don't need you to teach me at all."

Wang Cheng had already looked at Shangguan [Ghost God Jealous] Lu Yunchen, who had arrived earlier.

"A bluish aura forming clouds between the brows indicates a destined rise to great heights!"
