Chapter 145 The "Record of the Sea God's Soldiers" Fur Edition of the Four Books of Wenyuan

That night, when Jiujiu left Xiaojiongfeng, he was covering his collar, hiding his face, sobbing lightly, and flew away sitting on a large gourd...

Following Jiuwu and Jiushi, along with Qin Xuanya, they bid farewell and left without causing much disturbance to Xiaojiongfeng, a rare moment.

Temporarily, Xiaojiongfeng went from three disciples to four.

The waves of Yueyong Lake were clear, accompanied by the faint night breeze.

In front of the grass hut, Ling E moved two futons and sat beside his senior brother; Lin Jiang, with his petite figure, was curled up in a circular chair, the fierce knife still close to him, holding a wine jug in his hand, occasionally taking a sip.

She wouldn't let herself get drunk, and would force the alcohol out after a while, always maintaining some degree of sobriety, enjoying that slight intoxication.

When there were no outsiders present, Jiang Lin asked how Qi Yuan Lao Dao managed to transform into a muddy immortal.

Qi Yuan glanced at his eldest disciple and whispered, "It was a Immortal Transformation Pill obtained from Elder Wan Chang."

Jiang Lin smiled ambiguously and said, "This Elder Wan Chang has helped our Xiaojiongfeng a lot."

Qi Yuan Lao Dao nodded in agreement, "Master, what you said is true. Elder Wan Chang hasn't even said a word to the disciples..."

Smack!

Jiang Lin couldn't help but raise her hand and tapped Qi Yuan Lao Dao's forehead, resenting him for being so gullible, gritting her teeth and scolding, "Why didn't I knock some sense into you back then! Believing whatever is said!"

Qi Yuan Lao Dao suddenly smiled bitterly and sighed, "Master, disciple is now a muddy immortal, longevity... Longevity and Ling E, both were raised by the disciple, what they say, the disciple naturally believes."

The small hand kept falling, but Jiang Lin didn't use much force. In addition to feeling embarrassed, Qi Yuan Lao Dao's eyes also held a hint of amusement.

Just like when ordinary people get old, being scolded by their mother is a kind of happiness; Qi Yuan was actually quite happy now...

Jiang Lin kept lecturing, "You're a muddy immortal, what's there to be downcast about? Your original aptitude was not even as good as mine, the chance of becoming a celestial immortal was already very small, mixing in the realm of true immortals as an earthly immortal, isn't it carefree and happy? Jiang Yu doesn't want to see you, so just go adventuring, even I, as your master, don't worry, why are you worrying? Do you want to be spanked by your master again!"

"Master, I... the disciple listens to the teachings."

Beside them, Li Changshou conveyed a few words to Ling E.

Ling E took out a deck of large divine cards and smiled, "Master, can I play this little game with you?"

"Oh? What's this?"

"Master, you'll know after you look..."

Soon, the master and disciples in front of the grass hut began to compete in the game of gods, and Jiang Lin also relaxed a bit more, while Qi Yuan also smiled rarely.

In the midst of playing, Jiang Lin began to speak some philosophical words about life, actually trying to console Qi Yuan Lao Dao in secret.

For example—

"Older brother, as a master, I have traveled many roads and understood many truths, but still cannot achieve true freedom. Why? Because of worries. Everyone has worries, otherwise they wouldn't be human, they would truly be heartless. It's okay to have worries in your heart, even if you're worried about your senior sister, but don't get too deep into it. Since you have achieved the realm of earthly immortals, you have a long lifespan, just live leisurely."

Qi Yuan Lao Dao nodded slightly, keeping his master's admonition in mind.

Seeing this, Li Changshou felt that the elixirs he had given to his master were worth it...

When Jiang Lin was at Xiaojiongfeng, Li Changshou didn't hide in the underground secret room; He decided that for the next half month, he would take the "Poor-chested and Hungry-looking Master" back to the mountain, accompany the lonely master and the youthful junior sister.

Accompanying the master to fish by the lake, accompanying the master to tour the scenic areas and mazes of Xiaojiongfeng; Cutting a few fat spirit beasts together with the junior sister, setting up a mahjong table in front of the alchemy room, and taking out his "Primordial Mahjong" that he hadn't yet promoted to the junior sister—Divine Bird Deck.

Of course, Li Changshou did not neglect to monitor Xianlin Peak.

As for whether Xianlin Peak would retaliate... When Li Changshou killed Daoist Kuai Sidao, he had already prepared countermeasures. It's just that the worst-case scenario he envisioned at the time didn't happen; and now, with the sudden return of his master, venting his anger at Xianlin Peak, what Li Changshou had prepared seemed to have a place to shine. Now the hatred of Xianlin Peak is all concentrated on his own master. Later, when his master leaves the mountain gate and continues to wander in the Three Thousand Worlds... cough, adventures... This is naturally both harmful and beneficial. The harm is that Xianlin Peak may, to a greater or lesser extent, transfer some of its resentment to the three disciples. The benefit is that with the "real combat killing series" deterrent of his master, Xianlin Peak will surely have several more concerns. Of course, for Li Changshou, the greatest benefit is actually that if he wants to erase this hidden danger in the future, he can let the Paper Taoist simulate the aura and figure of his master... As for how to deal with it later, what degree of response to adopt, it all depends on Xianlin Peak's reaction. Fate is in their own hands, Li Changshou just needs to make a few more preparations... ... Deep in the intersection of the East China Sea and the South China Sea, the famous Taoist dojo of the Jiejiao, Jin'ao Island. Today, Jin'ao Island was quite lively, as it was time for the golden immortals to lecture, and it was said that there would be great Luojin immortals appearing. The cultivators from all over the island gathered near the several halls.

There, the spirited Qin Tianjun Qin Wan had set up a simple serial array and was explaining the intricacies of the serial array to his fellow Daoists.

By the side of the treasure pool, under the jade tree. The breeze blew, and the wide-sleeved blue robe of the young dragon son swayed gently, his hair lightly brushing against his delicate horns; On the side, Hanzhi knelt on the futon, helping him grind ink.

On the left side of the desk, there were stacks of bamboo slips, but the words inside were already deeply ingrained in Ao Yi's heart.

On the golden cloth spread out on the desk, rows of handsome small characters carried the hard work of Ao Yi during this period. From the tactical theories and thoughts summarized from "Retreat Twenty-Six Steps" and "Twenty-Seventh Step·Yanghui", they were now written out by Ao Yi into clear military tactics.

As the sun set in the west, the sound of lecturing on Jin'ao Island was faint, and the nearby girl who was grinding ink had already been called to the front hall by her familiar senior sister.

Only Ao Yi remained motionless, carefully considering each sentence and writing each word.

Finally, when there was only the last wisp of twilight over the sea, Ao Yi exhaled slowly and put down his brush. "The Record of the Sea God's Soldiers" was completed! Ao Yi read through it several times, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, his clear eyes flashing with intense joy.

"The art of warfare taught by the people truly is profound. My Dragon Clan has accumulated countless years, but lacks such a stable art of war. I wonder if the senior Xuan Du Master has agreed to this."

Thinking of this, Ao Yi couldn't help but close his eyes and concentrate, reluctantly releasing his own divine sense through his divine image, trying to connect with the nearby main divine image...

After a while, in Anshui City, in the newly expanded main hall of the Sea God Temple, two divine images began to communicate with each other...

Li Changshou, who was boating with his master and fishing, entered a dream, constructed a dream realm with his divine image, and pulled in Ao Yi's divine sense.

In a trance, Ao Yi saw Li Changshou standing under the divine image, and immediately showed a smile, stepping forward to greet him.

"Brother Leader, are you well recently?"

"Practicing at home, naturally well."

Li Changshou and Ao Yi saluted each other, and Ao Yi began to express his gratitude, but Li Changshou just casually listened, not taking it seriously.

However, for Ao Yi, Li Changshou had already given full trust, even though the total score was out of a hundred.

"Leader, I have recently compiled the twenty-six strategies of retreat into a military book. As there is a celebration in my Dragon Clan soon, I thought, can I present this military book as a gift from our Sea God Sect to my father, the king?"

Li Changshou pondered for a moment and said, "Bring the military book you've compiled."

"No need to ask the big...," Ao Yi pointed upwards.

"No need," Li Changshou smiled, "This time, because your Dragon Clan's retreat did not harm mortals, I can also handle some small matters."

Finally, there was no need to speak half-truths, leaving the other party to imagine freely. Li Changshou could directly indicate to Ao Yi that behind him, there was indeed someone, whom their Dragon Clan had seen before...

Now, it was finally time for manipulation! Ao Yi showed a slight smile of happiness and recited the military book he had written.

Li Changshou listened carefully for a while and found that Ao Yi had only grasped the surface of it, so he readily agreed and gave Ao Yi some pointers.

After a year of analysis and deduction, Li Changshou had determined that the Dragon Clan couldn't compete with the Western Church.

It depended on how determined the Western Church was and how much they were willing to pay to subdue the Dragon Clan for their own use.

Li Changshou had the advantage of hindsight and also had an intuitive understanding of the Western Church's development strategy.

'Lan Hua' and 'Slingshot' were currently focused on recruiting people to the West, strengthening the power of the Western Church, and then using that power to manipulate their luck, thus promoting the Western Church.

The fat of the Dragon Clan was something the Western Church would not be willing to let go of.

If the fighting power of the Dragon Clan could be stronger, it could also cause more trouble for the Western Church in the future, consuming more of their power, which would be beneficial to the Daoist Gate and the Heavenly Court, and also beneficial to Li Changshou himself...

By the way, if the Dragon Clan could hold out for longer, Li Changshou would have more time to plan for the Dragon Clan's entry into the heavens.

He had to play both sides, completing the tasks given by the saint and gaining some merits for himself in the eyes of the Jade Emperor, accumulating some capital for his future ascent to become a paper Daoist.

During the previous year in the underground chamber, Li Changshou had been calculating all of this.

Ao Yi said, "Brother Changshou, I will present this military book to my father."

"Okay," Li Changshou nodded lightly, smiling, "Later, I'll put a congratulatory letter in the old place in the name of the Sea God, as a gift to the Dragon Clan.

Remember to send someone to retrieve it." Ao Yi's eyebrows immediately raised at these words, nodding repeatedly.

Li Changshou also reminded Ao Yi not to reveal the identity of the Sea God; the big shot above was very concerned about this matter.

After all, the people taught by the religion were supposed to be calm and unassuming, and planning for such merit was laughable.

The face of the saint was not a trivial matter.

Ao Yi repeatedly agreed and reiterated the oath made years ago.

Before leaving, Li Changshou hesitated for a moment and entrusted Ao Yi with a task to do personally.

Ao Yi agreed without hesitation. Leaving the dream, Ao Yi sat behind the desk for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Brother Changshou, indeed...

He's taking care of the Dragon Clan too much! Having such a confidant in life, he felt fulfilled! In his heart, Ao Yi secretly thought:

In the future, my treasures will be Brother Changshou's treasures!

My merits will be Brother Changshou's merits!

My companions in the Dao will be! Um, Brother Changshou's siblings...

Then, Ao Yi picked up his pen again, unfolded the military book he had written, marked the places Li Changshou had pointed out, and planned to reorganize it tomorrow, truly completing a great achievement.

Actually, what pleased Ao Yi the most was that, because of the influence of the Sea God Sect, the atmosphere in the Dragon Clan was quietly changing.

Although the changes at this time were not too obvious, they were indeed happening...

At the same time, on Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou opened his eyes, continued to sit on the bamboo raft, and fish.

Thinking about the future situation of the Dragon Clan and the several possible directions the Western Church might take, he silently said a sentence in his heart...

What a pity. ...

Half a month passed in a hurry. Jiang Linger's eyes showed a hint of reluctance, but as she had previously thought, she told Qi Yuan that she was going to continue to leave.

After saying this, Jiang Linger went to the Bai Fan Hall to report that she would leave tomorrow.

For disciples like her who had already reached the level of Immortal, the sect would not stop them from going out to explore.

Unlike the last time she left the mountain, Jiang Linger's combat power was now highly valued by the sect, and they gave her three transmission jade tokens.

If there were any important matters in the sect, she would be summoned back.

Jiang Linger naturally agreed, and she even said that if she encountered strong enemies, she could bring some fellow disciples back to help.

She appeared quite domineering.

The night before Jiang Linger left, Jiu Wu and Jiu Jiu came to see her off, leading to another lively banquet.

But when Jiu Jiu suddenly ran away and Jiu Wu left, another unexpected "distinguished guest" arrived, whom Li Changshou hadn't expected at all.

A pinnacle-level expert of the Heavenly Immortal realm, Master Wang.
