Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 538 Little Green Magic King

"A sallow complexion, pale lips, and weak constitution are clear signs of insufficient qi and blood."

"It has improved a lot after treatment, but it needs to be taken care of."

According to the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the spleen is the "official in charge of granaries," responsible for the transportation and transformation of food. It is responsible for receiving and distributing food. The spleen governs transportation and transformation, the spleen qi ascends, the spleen controls blood, and the spleen opens into the mouth.

"It just so happens that my Baoan Hall contains a divine prescription passed down by an ancient sage emperor, which cannot be seen by anyone but those with the right destiny."

Master Qing was butchering a fat sheep in a very professional manner.

When it comes to swindling and deception, she's a master at it, able to learn one thing and do another, and even innovate upon it.

He is a genius among geniuses.

This Mrs. Tao has been frequently visiting Baoan Hall to recuperate, and she is the one who receives her each time.

They basically gathered a lot of intelligence.

It turns out that Madam Tao's surname was not Tao, but Zhu.

The pseudonym Tao was mainly used to make it easier to move around and avoid bad people.

She was from Dingtao County, Jiyin Commandery in the north. After her husband died, she had some conflicts with her master's family, so she took her daughter to the south to seek refuge with relatives and explore trade routes.

Dingtao County, surnamed Zhu?

Rich people! Super rich people!
Xiaoqing felt that this year, Baoantang's main source of revenue would be hers.

Even a monster like her knows the story of Tao Zhugong.

In fact, the identity of the Great Compassionate Dharma King was designed so that he could spend money openly and legitimately.

The White Lotus Church holds the greatest power among human rules, but unfortunately, it is targeted by the dynasty's fortune, making it very troublesome and costly to bypass it.

The second largest is the Confucian system. Scholars on the periphery can easily pretend, but one cannot fake a noble and righteous spirit.

Therefore, the only option left is the third largest one, which is money.

To create this identity, the use of the surname Tao was a deliberate smokescreen, preventing people from investigating the authenticity of the second surname, Zhu.

At the appropriate time, she will proactively reveal the first layer of disguise to gain others' trust in her.

For example, Xiaoqing is someone who can see the second layer of identity.

After meeting her a few times, Da Ci thought the girl was a bit silly and, being the deputy head of Baoan Hall, must know a lot of secrets.

Because they were considered valuable to befriend, they revealed their 'true identity'.

This level of cunning is incredibly profound; no wonder it's a sect with the closest ties to humanity—they are truly professional.

Pursued by both the imperial court and the righteous and demonic factions, each Dharma King possesses extremely strong counter-surveillance and disguise abilities.

Of course, as time goes on, the influence of this kind of disguise will definitely expand. Secrecy will then be out of the question.

But finding the Virgin Mary is more crucial.

At this moment, Xiaoqing and Daci each got what they wanted, and the two hit it off immediately, creating a very warm and fake relationship.

Next came various secret elixirs from Baoan Hall, with numerous ancestral formulas and almost all of them having an extraordinary origin. Naturally, their prices reflected the provenance of these miraculous medicines.

In the end, even Da Ci thought that you, woman, had gone too far.

I am of one heart with you, yet you treat me like a pig to be slaughtered.

But given her established persona, all she can do is buy, buy, buy.

What angered her even more was that this seemingly simple-minded leader couldn't keep his mouth shut and could tell all sorts of gossip stories with great eloquence.

They talked about almost everything, from Zhang San to Yu Gong, but there was no deeper discussion whatsoever.

He only talks about things after spending money on them; what a despicable and greedy nature of his.

I had no choice but to take the initiative to bring up the topic.

such as
"By the way, I've heard that Master Xu of Baoan Hall has superb medical skills and is quite prestigious in Qiantang. I wonder if there's a chance to meet him?"

Xiaoqing smiled.

His smile was gentle, just like someone else's.

What are you saying? That's our hall master! Do you think you can just see him whenever you want?!

He immediately and righteously stated that Master Xu usually teaches on the mountain, and it would be troublesome to invite him down.

Da Ci sighed inwardly, "Why don't you just say how much you want? Why resort to such methods?"

She really just wanted to befriend Instructor Xu, who was famous throughout Qiantang, and if possible, to keep him under control quietly.

Developing on your own is never as fast as acquiring other companies.

In this way, they can use the power of the church to find the Virgin Mary and, incidentally, kill this greedy woman.

She's dressed so charmingly and is quite pretty, so why is she so greedy like a snake?

Suppressing my emotions, I realized I had been too hasty and said we should meet again sometime.

After Madam Tao left, Xiaoqing's smiling eyes disappeared.

There's something wrong with this woman.

Her public persona, financial resources, and manner of speaking are all normal.

After several investigations, it was discovered that the other party had no supernatural powers, his physical body was at the level of an ordinary person, and there were no abnormal fluctuations in his soul.

But something was off; Xiaoqing sensed a familiar feeling emanating from her.

Moreover, the scholar-monk said that anyone who actively gets involved with our Xu Qing duo is probably not a good person.

Let's tentatively classify him as a bad guy then.

Since that's the case, they immediately went to notify the county government.

If there's a real problem, just have County Lieutenant Zhao Hu give them a righteous blow. That's the true value of being the underworld overlord of Qiantang.

Qing Guniang has always been very restrained against schemers, and Xu Xuan suffered greatly from them back then.

Now it's someone else's turn to experience what it's like to be beaten by a novice.

However, after returning to his residence, the Great Compassionate Dharma King soon learned that someone was monitoring the place.

He laughed in exasperation.

She felt humiliated and fooled.

Everyone says this place is peaceful and prosperous, where people live in harmony and happiness, and that this great Jin Dynasty has produced a blessed land. Now it seems that's all a lie; the filth of the world has never disappeared!

They can turn their hands to make clouds and rain, and their frivolous and fickle nature is countless.

Qiantang, oh Qiantang, what a treacherous place.

It is evident that when a cultivator's all-powerful magical abilities are rendered useless, even with mental preparation, they can still be harmed by the evil thoughts within the human system.

The difficulty of the Qiantang dungeon is hellish in the entire world. Da Ci thought he was well prepared, but in reality, he was far from adequate.

This area has been completely taken over by the righteous Holy Father.

Therefore, running a clinic was definitely not a viable business, as Baoantang was practically the only one with a monopoly.

It has the approval of the wealthy and powerful, and the support of ordinary people.

The Great Compassionate Dharma King felt that reopening the event would only result in picking up scraps, and would not be able to spread influence at all.

And we also have to worry about retaliation from that vicious Xiaoqing.

But a calm and uneventful environment isn't what I want. Why not try to stir things up in the Qiantang River and test the waters?
While he was pondering this, the butler beside him seemed hesitant to speak.

"Go ahead."

This could be considered an order, so Lao Zhou didn't hesitate and told him everything in detail.

It turns out they wanted to send their granddaughter to a primary school.

In families with some education, women were also required to study, at least to be literate.

There is a primary school in Dugu Garden in Qiantang. In addition to the orphans in the garden, children from poor families can also be sent there to study.

However, children are also considered part of the workforce, a notion that ordinary people don't usually hold.

Da Ci immediately agreed to the proposal.

Training disciples can certainly pass the time, but it's really frustrating if they can't even understand what you're saying or recognize all the characters.

Why not send them to a better school? Or hire a tutor to come to their home?

She's so good at disguising herself now, she's not afraid of visitors at all.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that Dugu Garden seemed to have some connection with Baoan Hall, so I agreed, which would be another way to make contact.

Next, Old Zhou brought his granddaughter over.

The twelve-year-old girl had delicate features and a lively spirit between her brows.

At the very beginning of their youth, like the rising sun, they are full of vitality and infinite possibilities.

Especially those eyes, they were very bright, indicating a naturally powerful soul.

He was a promising candidate for cultivating the White Lotus Dharma, a spiritual path, and it was precisely these eyes that prompted the Great Compassionate Dharma King to save Old Man Zhou.

At this moment, there was an overwhelming fear in those eyes, an instinctive dread in the little girl's eyes.

The Great Compassionate Dharma King had seen this kind of look many times and didn't take it seriously at all.

A hand was placed on the girl's head, concealing the magical fluctuations through physical contact.

"I saved you, so you should repay me."

"This is cause and effect."

After saying this, a white lotus mark appeared on the girl's forehead and then disappeared.

This is not some kind of control technique; it's just a simple mark.

If betrayed, the lotus pattern will be revealed immediately, followed by a gruesome death on the spot.

It is a very basic warning spell, almost impossible for mortals without magical power to counter.

Even a young girl can be used as a tool in her hands; she might be able to bring some intelligence.

After all, she didn't believe that a clinic that exuded greed from head to toe would voluntarily sponsor Dugu Garden.

Then, as if remembering something, he looked her up and down.

“Since you’re going to school, having just a nickname isn’t enough.”

"It seems like the moon is covered by light clouds, and it flutters like the snow covered by the flowing wind."

"From now on, you can be called Zhou Qingyun."

Although the Great Compassionate Dharma King is a demon, he is a cultured demon, and his choice of names is quite thoughtful.

This phrase comes from "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River," a rather awkward piece of writing in the Jin Dynasty. Everyone knows what I mean.

Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded over the Qiantang River, shaking everyone to their core.

The Great Compassionate Dharma King walked out of the house with a look of surprise and doubt, gazing at the sky, his body enveloped in clouds that seemed to shroud every breath he exhaled.

Strange, there are still a few days until the Awakening of Insects, why is there suddenly a sound of thunder?!
Warning?!
What's even stranger is that the people of Qiantang take it all for granted.

"They're probably from out of town, what's so surprising about this?"

"It's the Thunder God protecting us."

The servants who were gathering information were also completely taken aback.

Da Ci felt somewhat uneasy.

Having gathered enough intelligence, it's best to lay low for a while.

So he took a few servants and left temporarily under the pretext of visiting relatives in another place, leaving Steward Zhou and her granddaughter behind.

Stepping out of the Qiantang River, I immediately felt relaxed and my mind became much more active.

The Great Compassionate Dharma King knew that this was pressure from Yu Gonghe and the two academies.

Perhaps we need some external force to break this atmosphere; we can't just wait for that scoundrel to die of old age.

With this idea in mind, the incredibly efficient White Lotus Dharma King began capturing wild demons and evil cannon fodder.

This day.

Da Ci walked to the entrance of a temple and saw a Taoist priest blocking the entrance and setting up a stall.

The monks in the temple dared not speak out in anger, as if they had been thoroughly tormented.

The Taoist priest, dressed in a Taoist robe, wearing a headscarf, a yellow silk sash, and hemp shoes, sat in front of the temple selling medicine and distributing talismanic water.
