Shulong Daojun

Lin Shu nodded slightly and, without hesitation, flicked his sleeve, enveloping Cen An and the old Taoist with the power of divine authority.

Immediately, with a thought, he swept the two figures up and disappeared into the main vein of Qingwu City, following the direction of the vein to observe the overall terrain of the three counties and eighteen townships.

Occasionally, I would stop to inquire and explain the cause of the stagnation; occasionally, I would delve into the pulse to discern the reason for the abnormal movement; and sometimes, I would re-analyze the flow of Qi to divert the flow of turbid Qi.

After a short while, the three of them had finished their search and returned to the main temple.

As soon as he sat down, Cen An sighed softly and praised, "The land under the jurisdiction of the righteous god Xianyou has smooth and stable ley lines, with a balanced flow of pure and impure water. It is even better than the land under the jurisdiction of some righteous gods who have served for decades."

This certainly broadened Cen An's horizons.

Before Lin Shu could even speak, the old Taoist priest laughed and said, "Junior Brother Lin is a pillar of our Taiyi lineage, and with a dragon by his side, he is truly extraordinary."

"I saw it right away, haha."

After laughing, the old Taoist suddenly looked around and asked in confusion, "Junior brother, why haven't I seen your little dragon called Qingmin?"

But it's not here?

After hearing this, Lin Shu said gently, "Qing Min is learning to write reports in the living room of the side hall. If you would like to see it, I will go and bring it over."

The old Taoist priest was immediately struck by the strangeness of the situation and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, junior brother. I have never seen anything like this before."

Lin Shu responded and immediately turned to head towards the living room.

Cen An's expression suddenly hardened, as if he had sensed something amiss, and he quickly spoke:

"I wonder if the True God Xianyou will have time later to take me and my fellow Daoist to a place in the western ley line of Qingwu City for another look?"

There seems to be something I didn't see clearly just now, and I'd like to take another closer look.

After saying that, he looked apologetic.

The old Taoist priest frowned slightly, but said nothing. He only looked at Lin Shu with a hint of embarrassment.

Lin Shu paused, feeling something was off, but did not refuse, and said softly, "Of course it's fine."

Then, as previously stated, they went to the living room and brought out Qingmin, who was wrestling with Zhuyin.

However, when he returned, Cen An had already unfurled a long scroll and, with the help of a wisp of the old Taoist's magic power, was sketching out the details of the land veins of Qingwu City stroke by stroke.

The speed was extremely fast; in about twenty or thirty breaths, it was already eighty or ninety percent complete.

Only a small area, about the size of a thumb, was left blank.

After finishing the drawing, he gazed at it intently, his expression subtly changing as if he were deep in thought.

Upon seeing Lin Shu's figure, the old Taoist smiled sheepishly: "I've taken up a bit of your time again, junior brother. Please forgive me."

It was actually Fellow Daoist Cen who wanted to first draw a complete map of the earth's veins so that he could see the whole picture and determine if there were any problems with the earth's veins.

This is the old Taoist's duty.

After speaking, he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Upon catching sight of Qing Min dressed in divine robes, his eyes lit up, but then he remembered Cen An beside him, and after some hesitation, he restrained himself.

But his gaze kept drifting over, and his interest grew stronger with each passing moment.

Lin Shu raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not speak. He simply shook his head, gently stroked Qing Min, and waited patiently.

This made the old Taoist even more envious.

He had only seen the little dragon, but had never touched it.

Not long after, Cen An breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his forehead with his sleeve, and smiled, "The overall geological ley lines of Qingwu City are fine."

However, there is one thing that I urge the God of Manifestation to remember.

From now on, there is no need to completely seal or forcibly plug the ley lines within the jurisdiction.

Lin Shu asked, "Oh? Why do you do this?"

Cen An sighed, his face filled with indignation, and explained, "The Demonic Sect is currently destroying veins and harming people everywhere. Turbidity, death energy, and stagnation are all born on the ground, but due to their inherent characteristics, they slowly sink underground."

These cracks are its natural outlets; if they are completely blocked, the stagnant air will have nowhere to escape, and over time, it will inevitably lead to a major disaster and epidemic, devouring all living things on earth.

At this point, Cen An coughed violently, his body trembling.

After a few breaths, he calmed down and continued:

"Therefore, preserving the slight cracks to allow the stagnant energy to dissipate and to allow the stagnant energy to disperse and recede in the local area is the way to ensure long-term stability."

The old Taoist nodded repeatedly and replied, "That's right, junior brother, it's better to guide than to block."

Fellow Daoist Cen and I visited various places under the jurisdiction of the righteous gods, and we found that they all said the same thing.

You have served as a righteous god for quite some time, so you should know this principle.

After a moment's thought, Lin Shu realized that this principle was true.

However, this does not match the actual situation in Qingwu City.

This was because he fed the excess turbid energy accumulated in the city's internal veins to Zhuyin, making it nourishment for its growth.

However, this matter must not be discussed with outsiders.

He immediately nodded and said, "I understand this principle, and I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest smiled, revealing a gratified expression.

Cen An pointed to the blank space on the long scroll and said softly, "Thank you for your help, Master Xianyou."

"You're welcome." Lin Shu smiled slightly and then led the two away.

Unexpectedly, Cen An suddenly spoke to the old Taoist priest: "I am grateful for your help along the way, fellow Taoist."

Cen An was not an tactless person; how could he disturb his fellow Daoist's interest because of his momentary negligence?

"Since you are so eager to see that little dragon, then I and the righteous god Xianyou can go there together."

The old Taoist priest hesitated for a moment.

The sect leader entrusted him with protecting Cen An and compiling a complete map of the continent.

Now that more than half of it has passed and it is almost finished, what should we do if something goes wrong on this trip?

However, he did want to touch the little dragon and experience what it felt like.

Seeing this, Cen An knew the old Taoist's worries and comforted him with a smile, saying, "You only need to take a look, it will only take a few breaths, please rest assured, brother."

Besides, with the Manifestation of True God present, my safety should be assured.

Lin Shu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I can protect you in a few breaths."

The old Taoist priest felt there should be no problem, and his heart relaxed. He straightened his beard and said seriously, "Then I will trouble you, junior brother."

"After a few breaths, you must bring Fellow Daoist Cen back."

Lin Shu nodded and gestured for Qing Min to fall from his body onto the desk, getting a little closer to the old Taoist priest.

He then flicked his sleeves again, lifting Cen An's figure and disappearing towards a spot in the western part of the city.

As soon as Fang Yi landed, Lin Shu was about to speak, but Cen An waved his hand repeatedly to interrupt him.

"Brother Dao, please don't say any more. Please lend me a wisp of your magical power."

He spoke urgently, and before he could finish, he added, "The Demonic Sect has deceived me, humiliated me, and harmed me. I only regret that I am powerless to fight back."

It just so happens that the Taoist sect entrusted me with the important task of compiling the complete map of the Earthly Branches, so I naturally had to risk my life to complete it.

Now that time is running out, I fear I may not have enough time to properly repay my brother's kindness.

That is why I found a reason to take this action, and I wish to draw out the detailed information of the geography I have recorded for you, my fellow Daoist.

I hope you won't find this objectionable, fellow Daoist.

After saying that, he forced a smile, but it was interrupted by a heavy cough.

Without hesitation, Lin Shu transferred a wisp of his own magical power, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Thank you for the gift, Brother Cen."

If this complete map of the Earthly Network is compiled, it will surely be an extraordinary object, probably only accessible to Earth Immortals.

I am truly grateful for your kindness this time.
