Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 109 Li Wushou makes his appearance, delivering a decisive punch.

In the bright white paper Taoist temple
A figure in black robes appeared out of nowhere.

The figure was as upright as a pine tree, slowly squatting on the meditation cushion where the paper goddess was sitting, staring intently at the yin-yang diagram!
Hearing the Paper Goddess's question, the figure remained calm, slowly raising its head and exchanging a glance with the Paper Goddess outside the Taoist temple.

"Hi~!"

The paper goddess was startled. The other party had no face; its face was shrouded in a dark shadow and could not be seen clearly. Even when she tried to examine it with her divine sense, it seemed as if there was nothing there.

If it weren't for the spatial fluctuation just now, the Paper Goddess might not have even noticed that there was someone there!

"Who exactly are you? Did you sneak in with the Martial Priest?"

The Paper Goddess shouted, her voice urgent, while the Civil Official was trapped inside the picture. He wanted to return to the main hall, but instinctively feared this mysterious person.

"What? You're allowed to take things from my City God's lineage, but we're not allowed to come knocking on your door?"

The shadowy figure spoke slowly, his voice aged and tinged with contempt, then his tone shifted, and he asked in a chilling voice:

"A mere paper figure, adorned in the robes of an immortal, dares to call himself Guanyin and the Empress? Who gave you the audacity?"

The paper goddess was terrified and her mind was shaken, as if her deepest secret had been revealed.

"who are you?"

She was originally a paper puppet created by a high-level cultivator to help him manage his cave dwelling.

However, after he left one day, he did not return for a long time.

At first, she only secretly looked through some of the cultivation methods of the upper cultivator, but gradually she became bolder and began to act as the master of the cave.

Later, Shangxiu never returned, so she put on Shangxiu's Yin-Yang Taoist robe, called herself Paper Guanyin, walked out of the cave, went to Wufang City, occupied this mountain forest, and renamed it Guanyin Mountain.

From then on, there was another paper goddess outside the Five Directions City.

This was her biggest secret, but how did this person find out?
Has he just claimed to be a descendant of the City God?
The Paper Goddess has been outside the Five Directions City for over a hundred years, and has never heard of the City God's lineage or such a person.
Looking at the Paper Goddess's panicked appearance, Li Wushou thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

He had just taken advantage of the moment when the Paper Goddess was fighting the Martial God to examine the Paper Goddess from head to toe.

The paper clone that was just eaten by the Devouring God Demon was exactly the same as the Paper Goddess in terms of aura and soul, but there was one big difference, and that was the Yin-Yang Taoist robe.

The paper figure wore a garment made from the Blood Longevity Treasure Paper of the Wusheng Sect, while the Paper Goddess herself wore a treasure imbued with the Daoist principles of Yin and Yang.

Moreover, the paper goddess's state was quite mysterious. Although it was a paper body, its body under the Yin-Yang Taoist robe was constantly growing flesh and fascia, which were firmly attached to the Yin-Yang Taoist robe.

As for the flesh and blood, Li Wushou smelled the scent of the Blood Buddha Temple's Blood and Flesh Spirit Official.

From Li Wushou's perspective, the Yin-Yang Daoist robe seemed to be growing out of the Paper Goddess's body.

This shows that the Yin-Yang Taoist robe was extremely important to the Paper Goddess; she would rather have her paper body merge with it than separate from it.

The Record of Evil Spirits of the Five Directions also records the City God's praise for this Taoist robe, saying that it could be the size of one's own, was not afraid of water or fire, and was a fine treasure.

Therefore, Li Wushou boldly guessed that this Yin-Yang Daoist robe could not possibly have been made by the Paper Goddess herself. If she had made it herself, even if it was precious, she wouldn't need to do this.

Only treasures acquired by chance are worth such treatment.

To highlight the hidden power of the City God's lineage, Li Wushou tricked the Paper Goddess. It seems his guess was right; the Paper Goddess really did obtain the Yin-Yang Taoist robe from somewhere.

Thinking of this, Li Wushou felt a pang of sadness. In Wu Zhuangyuan's stories, which of those exceptionally talented immortal cultivators didn't pick up treasures with every step they took? They even stumbled upon immortal caves while falling off cliffs!
I've never had such good fortune, so what makes this paper goddess worthy of it?
He muttered a curse under his breath, then mimicked the old beggar's voice and replied:

"Who am I? When you bullied my Liu family's juniors, you didn't ask who I was, but now you're asking?"

A thunderclap resounded in the Paper Goddess's mind: the Liu family? The City God Liu Qingmei? This Liu family is definitely not the Liu family in Wufang City. The Liu family in Wufang City is said to be the family descended from the maids who served the City God before she was conferred the title of god.

So, what about the Liu family?

The thought of the paper goddess filled her with panic, recalling a remark the tree goddess had once made to her.

It is said that the City God is heartless. They both came from Wangxian City, but she was confined to the Burial Soul Forest by the City God and not allowed to go out. Even the offerings from the villagers were not allowed to be eaten too much.

So this Liu family is the Liu family of Wangxian City.

Didn't Zhu Sihai say that Liu Qingmei did indeed live in Wangxian City, but only had some talent and good luck, without any real background?

How could an elder from the Liu family suddenly appear?
The Paper Goddess cursed inwardly. She didn't know the significance of the Liu family, but she knew the significance of Wangxian City! The number one city at the foot of Suspended Mountain!
The Hengyang River, stretching for eight hundred miles, flows into the sea, and thirty-six cities converge on its banks. The city gods and lords of these thirty-six cities mostly come from the five surnames, seven clans, and twenty-four families of Wangxian City. Only a very few may have been appointed by Xuankong Mountain.

According to Zhu Sihai, the City God was one of those who had stumbled upon divine fortune!
Zhu Sihai can act recklessly because of his daughter who has attained enlightenment through spiritual sealing, but that doesn't mean that the Paper Goddess can do the same.

She was already starting to regret getting involved in this matter.

This Zhu Sihai is treacherous; he actually concealed such information. But now that she's already deeply embroiled in this mess, the Paper Goddess has no other choice but to hope that Zhu Sihai can withstand this so-called threat from the Liu family.

Therefore, the civil official position cannot be lost; otherwise, without this bargaining chip, one will have no foothold in front of Zhu Sihai.

The Paper Goddess, who was originally in a very good position, suddenly felt that the situation had become urgent. She was just an assistant, so how did she suddenly become the main force?
Thinking of this, the Paper Goddess's mind raced. She raised her six arms high, made hand seals, and said to Li Wushou:
"Senior, I had no intention of offending the City God. I was only forced by Zhu Sihai to help him look after the Civil Official. I have not harmed him yet!"

Li Wushou had no idea that his simple statement about being a descendant of the Liu family had caused the Paper Goddess to think so much.

Following the other person's words, Li Wushou replied:
"Since that's the case, release the catalog and release the civil official. From now on, we'll let bygones be bygones!"

The Paper Goddess looked troubled and gently shook her head: "Senior, Zhu Sihai's daughter is a sparrow of the Sealing Spirit Path. I can't afford to offend you, nor can I afford to offend the Sealing Spirit Path. How about you discuss this with Zhu Sihai personally?"

Fengling Dao Quezi? Zhu Sihai's daughter?

It turns out that the Divine Soul Sparrow was Zhu Sihai's daughter!
Li Wushou finally understood the source of Zhu Sihai's confidence in plotting against the City God. Judging from the Paper Goddess's words, this Fengling Dao seemed to be an extraordinary force! Could it be a celestial sect?
Although Li Wushou was astonished, now was clearly not the time to ponder deeply.

Then he laughed heartily, first praising the Paper Goddess, and then changed the subject, questioning her:
"Haha, you little paper doll, you've got a clever mind, trying not to offend either side, but do you have the ability to do so?"

The paper goddess trembled, but she forced herself to stay calm and released a paper sparrow from her bosom, which flew out of the Taoist temple.

"This Yin-Yang Dao Diagram contains the power of Yin and Yang. Even a Golden Core cultivator would need a long time to open it. I have already notified Quezi of the Sealing Spirit Dao. How about you talk to him, senior?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Paper Goddess heard the mysterious elder of the Liu family chuckle.

"A long time?"

Then, the other party slowly raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and extreme yin and extreme yang flowed freely on his fist.

"I only need one punch to open this picture!"
