From a carp to a dragon god

Chapter 196 Opening the Treasure Gourd
As the saying goes: Preparation is the key to success, while lack of preparation leads to failure.

Yu Shuyang felt it necessary to prepare a group of people, so he asked Uncle Mo for his opinion first. He was the one who was in charge of the staff of Lingtian earlier.

"Uncle Mo, my father wants to run the Mofang business, and he obviously doesn't have enough manpower. Brother Fathead Fish and the others will have to go back to the noodle shop sooner or later.

I was thinking, should I recruit some people?"

Old Moji listened, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It is indeed necessary to find manpower. This Yatou Mountain may not look big, but it is about 70 to 80 kilometers in radius.

I've discussed this with your father, and we've decided to release shrimp and clam seedlings into some springs and streams. We really can't raise enough people in a short period of time.

However, there is one thing you have to think about. We all came from Xiyu and will return to Xiyu in the future. There will certainly be no traitors hiding in our nest.

Recruiting people from outside, even if they are not related to you, may not necessarily win your loyalty. Now there is a traitor hiding, how should we deal with it?"

This question really stumped Yu Shuyang. There were many wild cultivators in the East China Sea who were filled with monsters and monsters. They would kill and rob for the sake of cultivation resources. Their personalities were really unreliable.

Only then did he realize why Cao Qing had said so much just now. It was to reveal his identity and tell himself that he was not a demon who had committed a crime.

"How about borrowing some help from godmother first?" Yu Shuyang was helpless. He had never thought about this. If he had known earlier, he would have brought more fish spirits from Fudi.

"Wuhui Cave is also short of manpower. Their Thousand Barrier Cliff has been melted. Although it hasn't been refined into a piece of glass, it is now turning into fallen leaves and sawdust.

We will have to plant thuja and rock pine in the future and rebuild the water spider factory. Li Zhen has come here several times in the past two months, all asking you to borrow the True Water Pearl.

"Before the Water Silk Spider Factory was built, his family wasn't well-off, so even with spiritual water, it would take at least half a year to ripen the spiders," Old Moji explained.

Yu Shuyang has been in seclusion for the past two months, but he has not been idle. Knowing that he will not be able to return to the blessed land for a while, he has already started to cultivate shrimp soldiers and clam girls.

Raising monsters is not a matter of a day or two. It is not like humans who give birth to one monster after ten months of pregnancy. You have to raise a group of monsters first, and then find a way to make them become smart and become monsters.

The method is certainly good and can fundamentally solve the problem, but it takes too long, perhaps thirty to fifty years.

Just like the Nanyu Pond of the Xiyu clan, Mr. Mu Yue draws in the moonlight from the moon every night to help the Xiyu fish awaken and gain wisdom.

Only about a hundred fish spirits are raised every year. Among them, those who cannot sense Qi or break through to the ninth level within ten years, and only one in a hundred can survive.

"This method is too slow. Let me think about whether I can borrow some manpower." Yu Shuyang still did not give up.

Old Moji shook his head and said, "In the East China Sea, the Dragon Palace has the most people. All aquatic creatures are under the control of the Dragon Palace.

Now the Dragon Palace is competing openly and covertly with several large islands. There are so many monsters in the sea that it is impossible to recruit people even if you spend money on talismans.

The immortal families everywhere are busy with their business and will not lend their members out. The last choice is the wild demon cultivators in the demon city.

These monsters are either on the run from crimes, or have found an opportunity and aspired to become demon immortals. Which one can be used with confidence?"

These words left Yu Shuyang speechless. He really didn't know that the East China Sea was in such a situation. Thinking of how the Fire Duck Fairy had driven away the Firefly Demon earlier, he couldn't help but feel that the Fire Duck Fairy was even more hateful.

"Yes, the firefly demon that the Fire Duck Fairy chased away can be found." Yu Shuyang said happily.

"Silly brother, forget it. After the firefly spirits were driven away, they took refuge with the Pink Butterfly Fairies in Butterfly Valley. Only Cao Qing, who is determined to seek revenge, is left."

Then Old Moji poured a basin of cold water on him, and Yu Shuyang was completely at his wit's end. He thought of going to the Wuhui Cave in Qianzhang Cliff to take a look. After all, Li Zhen had come to look for him several times.

Yatou Mountain is not far from Qianzhang Cliff, only about a hundred miles away. He didn't want to walk there, so he took out the Dragon Carp Wanfa Bell.

First he cast the Spring Breeze Spell to borrow a gust of wind, then he cast the Dragon Speech to borrow the wind, and the spring breeze carried him soaring into the air.

This feeling is different from flying a sword. You have to ring the bell from time to time to create wind to lift you up into the air, just like someone grabbing you with their hands. If it weren't for the spell cast by the Dragon Carp Wanfa Bell, it would be impossible to do it.

Yu Shuyang wanted to take the opportunity to experience flying and see if he could comprehend the dragon carp's magical power of flying, but unfortunately it was of no use.

Fortunately, this method is quite convenient and the flying speed is not slow, only slightly slower than the White Crane Escape Technique. In just a cup of tea, it flew to the entrance of Wuhui Cave.

Qianzhang Cliff was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and wood chips, which was about ten feet thick. It looked like it was about to be covered with a layer of soil.

It was already winter at this time, but because of the turbid evil that had settled on the cliffs of the Bitter Sea, which brought with it a warm current, it was not cold on the five islands in winter.

There are veins under the island that circulate earth energy, and the spiritual energy steaming from the island is also very abundant, and the fishy smell from the Bitter Sea is also isolated outside.

Yu Shuyang knocked at the door outside Wuhui Cave. The spider spirit guarding the door stuck out half of its head and took a sneak peek with its two big eyes.

"Isn't this my cousin? I'll open the door for you right away." Xiao Yao said hurriedly and kindly.

"I won't go in. Li Zhen is in the cave. I'm here to help him plant trees." Yu Shuyang said calmly.

"My dear cousin, the eldest son has gone to the city, and now only the second son is here. How about I invite the second son to come for you?" Xiao Yao explained.

Yu Shuyang didn't care. He nodded and asked Xiao Yao to call for help. He flew up to the Thousand Barrier Cliff with the wind and cast a spell without waiting for Li Li to come over.

The Dragon Carp Wanfa Bell rang three times to pray for rain, and then three dragon roars rose to the sky. Winds blew in from all directions, and dark clouds appeared. In an instant, the rain fell like a torrential downpour. Praying for rain at sea was truly effective. Water vapor was everywhere, and a few gusts of wind would gather clouds and turn them into rain.

Yu Shuyang took out the Xuanming True Water Pearl again and cast a spell on the rain clouds in the sky, directly transforming the dark clouds into turbid Yin water.

Suddenly the rain turned into freezing rain, which froze when it fell on wood chips and fallen leaves. After a day and a night, it melted and turned into rotten soil.

"Cousin, let's go into the cave. The rain you cast is too cold. It really hurts when it hits my body."

Li Li came out of the cave at the top of Qianzhang Cliff. As soon as he showed his head, he was hit by the muddy and cold water from the ground. The cold winter weather made Fa Yunbing's scalp hurt.

"No need. I heard from Uncle Mo that Da Zhenzi asked the three of us to come back and tell us that you guys are going to rebuild the Water Silk Spider Factory. I came here to turn the sawdust into compost first.

When the ice melts tomorrow, I'll turn the ground over and plant the spiritual roots. I'll be back then. If you need anything, come find me at Yatou Mountain."

After Yu Shuyang finished speaking, he walked back. Li Li was frightened again when he saw his cousin flying. A few more ice raindrops hit his head, and he shrank back holding his head in pain.

This time he passed the mountain in front, circled halfway and flew from the back of Yatou Mountain, which was the Jishuitan where he had been in seclusion before.

He had the key to the door with him, and the five-sided, five-colored stone gate did not stop him. He fell directly into the surface of the Jishuitan Pond and saw his junior brother sleeping soundly in the pond.

As expected of a sichuan beast, he sleeps standing upright. Carp have to dive to the bottom of the water to sleep. Of course, Yu Shuyang always sleeps lying down.

Tu Liu and Yun Hua were standing on the bank of the pond. One of them was holding a blueprint, while the other was moving bamboos. It looked like they were setting up a formation.

"What are you two doing?" Yu Shuyang landed on the shore, walked up and asked.

"Master, we are setting up the formation according to Mr. Li's formation diagram. It is said that it can inhibit the growth of spiritual bamboo to prevent the access control formation from being broken." Yunhua said with a smile.

Tu Liu held the bamboo in one hand in front and used the other hand to cast a spell to mobilize the soil around the bamboo roots. He shook it left and right, and the bamboo was like it had no roots. He gently pulled it and moved it to the corresponding position.

Yu Shuyang took the formation diagram and looked at it, then burst out laughing. It turned out that Li Taiping was not sleeping.

He was standing in the position of the North Star in the pool. The small dots on the formation diagram were the Big Dipper. Tu Liu and Yun Hua needed to move the spiritual bamboo to the corresponding positions.

In this way, the spiritual bamboo grows according to the star positions, and there is a natural order of the Big Dipper to constrain it, so that it will not grow randomly.

Yu Shuyang couldn't help but sigh that his junior brother's use of Beidou magic was really amazing. He didn't need to sacrifice any magic bans, but just relied on the order of the stars to bind the spiritual bamboo.

Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled the Daoyin Zhengyun method that his junior fellow apprentice had taught him earlier, which was taught together with the method of exploring sound.

He used the Dragon Carp Wanfa Bell but still couldn't find the spell of the treasure gourd, so he stopped. Now he felt that he was wrong.

The correct way to use it is to use the sound detection method to write down the sound waves, and then read them directly using the Taoist pronunciation rhyme, rather than guessing which words are pronounced.

The spell used to sacrifice and refine the treasure gourd must be in the current language, but the righteous rhythm of the Tao is the sound of Tao, which carries a power of its own. As long as it is read out with the corresponding sound waves, the gourd will naturally open.

All of a sudden, Yu Shuyang was enlightened. No wonder his junior brother had told him that the righteousness of the Great Dao was too easy to learn and should not be taught casually, lest it be learned by someone with ulterior motives and used for evil.

Just like Li Taiping's use of star positions to set up the formation, this is the application of the simplicity of the great way. It does not require the support of magic power, but only needs to conform to the order of heaven and earth, and the great power will be generated naturally.

After figuring this out, he took out the large yellow gourd from his magic bag, and first used the Dragon Carp Wanfa Bell to perform the sound detection method to record the fluctuations of the sound waves.

It is a bit difficult to recite the corresponding correct rhyme, because you are not sure which word is the starting sound wave and which is the ending sound wave.

He first read them one by one, and understood them instantly. The sound waves of the word "yang" rise, and the sound waves of the word "yin" fall, and each correct rhyme is a yin and yang rhyme.

In other words, no matter what he recites, even if it is just a word, as long as he controls the yin and yang rhythm, the sound waves can rise and fall as he pleases.

Yu Shuyang also wanted to understand why the Eight Wind Mantra only had two words, Heng and Ha. He was able to refine it because when he recited the two words, the pronunciation was in accordance with the yin and yang rhythm.

Thinking of the "Hu" spell that he had not yet refined, he couldn't help but become excited and said nine "Hu" words in a row to the treasure gourd.

Then they heard four "bang bang" sounds in a row. First, the yellow gourd lid opened with a bang, and then Tu Liu and Yun Hua fell down with two more bangs.

The last one was Li Taiping in the pond. With a loud bang, he fell to the bottom of the water.

Yu Shuyang had not expected that the power of chanting the Spring Breeze Mantra in the correct rhythm of the Great Dao would be so great that he fell into a coma as soon as he heard the word "Hu".

There is no time to look at the treasure gourd now. We have to pull Li Taiping out of the water first. It is true that he is a rhinoceros beast, but he has not yet broken through the ninth level and officially started practicing. It is easy for him to drown if he sinks in the water.

He checked Tu Liu and Yun Hua again to confirm that they were in a coma and not dead. Chanting the curse could cause coma at the very least, and death at the worst with shattered consciousness.
