From a carp to a dragon god

The treasure ship sailed on the cloud road towards the southwest. After seven or eight days, it finally arrived at Yongming City in Menzhou.

Menzhou has two port cities, an inner port and an outer port. Yongming City is the outer port city connecting the East China Sea and the North Sea.

The treasure ship landed from the cloud road and needed to declare customs and obtain business orders before it could enter Menzhou. Li Zhen had to take care of all these matters personally.

Yu Shuyang and his brother-in-law Huang Wenxun stood on the deck to guard the treasure ship. After all, they had never been to Menzhou before, so they were bound to encounter some bumps and stumbles.

There are large sea merchants in the inland of Kyushu. These sea merchants have confidants in the coastal port cities. If a ship wants to enter the port to sell goods, it has to pay a visit to the port first.

When Zhu Sanniang took Li Zhen to Wuzhou, the reason she was able to bypass Wuzhou's big merchants was because she borrowed the help of the Xiyu clan and Taicang Embroidery Academy.

Right now, Menzhou has no external help. Although there is the White Fox Clan of the Great Snow Mountain, they have not yet established any relationship with it.

Yu Shuyang held the Dongyuan Xuantian Flag in his hand. Ever since he had refined the Qiangang Dao forbidden technique, the flag had the opportunity to trigger a magic weapon calamity, but he had been suppressing it.

The two magical prohibitions of haziness and obstruction were also in perfect condition and could be upgraded to Dao prohibitions at any time. They were suppressed by Yu Shuyang using his magical power of cloud cover.

Most of the boatmen on the deck were from Chaoju Island. Ever since Li Zhen became the young patriarch of the Mu family, the boatmen have become demon servants under Li Zhen's name.

"Brother-in-law, I heard from Li Zhen that he has ordered two more treasure ships from Fu's Shipping Company. He will need shipbuilders later. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

Li Zhen agreed with Huang Wenxun to give him a treasure ship and let him be responsible for the trade route from Wuzhou Water Market to Menzhou.

Fu's Shipping Company was very fast at producing treasure ships. When Yu Shuyang ordered the Jiao Mingfa ship, it was delivered in just two or three years.

This treasure ship must have a boatman, who must be very experienced. Skills like distinguishing cloud paths and gathering wind and clouds cannot be learned in a short time.

Huang Wenxun half-closed his eyes. Ever since he inherited the blood of the Basnake, his eyes had grown bigger, and he usually had to keep his eyelids half-closed to keep them open.

“I have already planned this. You have seen the Golden Snake Boy from Danhuang Cave Heaven before. He practices the Way of Incense and Fire.

Now that Wuzhou and Zhongzhou are both in turmoil, the clan elders no longer dare to suppress him, so they are preparing to send him out and entrust him to me privately.

I asked the tribe for some demon servants, which was also a way to get my old subordinates back."

Huang Wenxun had some complaints about Huangsha City and the Red Chain Snake Clan. After all, he did not intend to change his bloodline, but was influenced by the skills on the remaining bones of the Basnake.

If it weren't for the relationship with the Huaihe River Water Market, Huang Wenxun and his wife Yu Bajie would have almost been trapped in Danhuang Cave Heaven. Just look at the fate of the Golden Snake Boy and you will know the cruelty of the Zhe clan's snake family rules.

Yu Shuyang nodded and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you are quite capable of pulling hair out of Zhe's mouth.

However, that arrogant and domineering Golden Snake Boy, will he cause you trouble?"

Huang Wenxun waved his hand and said, "The Golden Snake Boy has come to the East China Sea, and Li Zhen will take care of him. Don't worry about this matter."

Yu Shuyang changed his mind and realized that Li Zhen was accepting disciples and passing on his teachings, and was preparing to set up the Sixty Official Gods of the Treasury. The arrival of the Golden Snake Boy was just the right time for him to join the group and help.

The two demons were chatting on the deck, revealing their magical auras to intimidate the villains in the harbor and prevent them from being found by those ignorant people.

The ships lined up to enter the port. Since this was Li Zhen's first time coming to Menzhou, he had no acquaintances at the Yongming City Customs and could not enter the port for a while. He could only dock at the side and let the other ships enter the port first.

Among the passing ships, there was a dragon boat. This ship was obviously made with the skeleton of a sea beast, and layers of sea patterns and magic rhymes emanated from the hull.

Seeing the dragon boat approaching, Yu Shuyang hurriedly asked the boatmen to move the boat to prevent the treasure ship and the dragon boat from colliding and blocking the entrance to the port.

Before the treasure ship moved away, a mysterious light rose from the dragon boat and flew straight towards the deck of the treasure ship.

When the mysterious light fell, a white-faced man in black leather armor clasped his fists and saluted Yu Shuyang and Huang Wenxun, saying, "I am the Black Dragon General of Beijiang Prefecture, and I am sending greetings on the orders of my county mistress.

I don't know, are you under the command of that Dragon Sun from the East Sea? What business do you have in Menzhou?"

Yu Shuyang was stunned by the question, and then he realized that there was an East China Sea Dragon Flag flying on the treasure ship. It was given by the Twelve Dragon Grandsons of the Water Palace, which was considered his investment.

"General Dragon, we are from the Twelve Dragon Grandsons of the East China Sea and are here to visit the White Fox Clan of the Great Snow Mountain." Yu Shuyang responded politely.

At this moment, he kept thinking in his mind that the Princess of Beijiang Prefecture should be a dragon girl, and according to the rules of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, she should be a dragon granddaughter.

So, there should be another Beijiang Dragon Marquis in Beijiang Prefecture. After all, most of the water prefectures that the Dragon Girl did not grant fiefs to, live in the Dragon Palace.

The Black Dragon General understood the news and did not linger any longer. He bowed again and said, "In that case, I will not disturb you any further. Goodbye."

Let’s talk. The black dragon will transform into Xuan Guang again, fly back to the dragon boat tower, and go in to report the news to the Dragon Girl County Lord.

But in a moment, Li Zhen also flew out of the harbor. After all, he had the identity of Sanxian Island, and the big merchants of Menzhou did not dare to offend him, so they did not make things difficult for him and let him get the business list.

"Li Zhen, do you know anything about the Dragon Palace and Water Palace in Menzhou? The dragon general from Beijiang Prefecture came to visit just now." Yu Shuyang asked Li Zhen.

He didn't know much about the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, let alone its descendants. However, when they came to Menzhou to do business, they could not avoid some local tyrants.

Li Zhen held a large business order on mulberry paper and first asked the boatmen to set sail into the harbor. Then he said, "Menzhou is where the North Sea and the East Sea meet, half of it is ice and snow, and half is river water.

The North Sea Dragon Palace and the East Sea Dragon Palace each enfeoffed a dragon son and a dragon grandson, namely the South and North River Prefectures, and the Ice and Snow Water Prefectures.

The four water palaces often change, and now the one who takes over the Beijiang Palace is a black dragon, the husband of Jiao Li Longnu.

Yu Shuyang couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this. In that case, the dragon general who came to ask questions just now should be the black dragon.

The Jiaolong is a wild dragon that is not of high rank in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. The Black Jiaolong must be extremely powerful to be able to marry the dragon girl Jiaolong.

He told Li Zhen about this matter. It was possible that Li Zhen would have to deal with Shuifu in the future, so he would know the inside story.

"The dragon girl is just looking for a husband, otherwise, how can she leave the Dragon Palace? In the East China Sea Dragon Palace, a dragon girl marries out every few years!

Most of those chosen to transform into dragons are born from the Jiaolong bloodline. They can usually serve as dragon generals, and when giving birth to bloodlines, their Jiaolong bloodline will not reduce their true dragon bloodline."

Li Zhen knew everything about the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. After all, both the Zhu family and the Li family had connections with the Dragon Palace.

Yu Shuyang heard this for the first time and was shocked. The Dragon Palace really made a big distinction between real dragons and transformed dragons. He didn't know if he would also be discriminated against after he transformed into a dragon.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and laughed at himself. After all, he was cultivating the Great Dragon God, and those so-called true dragons were merely descendants of the Great Dragon God's bloodline. Under the control of the boatmen, the treasure ship slowly moved along the harbor channel, passing through the customs formation and the bridge.

When the treasure ship sailed out of Yongming City, Yu Shuyang prepared to get off the ship to find Cao Xiaoshan and others. He came to Menzhou to solve the problem of "Li Di Tai Sui".

"Cousin, don't leave so quickly. I'm at the Yongming City Customs and have established contact with the sea merchants from Menzhou.

"Instead of searching everywhere, why not come with me? After all, the Great Sea Merchants are all local tyrants, and the matter of the Age of Gods will definitely not escape their eyes and ears." Li Zhen persuaded.

Just now, at the customs of Yongming City, Li Zhen came into contact with the sea merchants of Menzhou. Hearing that he was from Sanxian Island and was going to the White Fox Clan of the Great Snow Mountain, he hurriedly invited him to join the clan to discuss.

The Baiyi tribe is already eager to try in Menzhou. This is no secret in Menzhou. The Snow Mountain White Fox Tribe and the Baiyi tribe are of the same origin.

Therefore, when they heard that Li Zhen and his men were looking for the Snow Mountain White Foxes and only regarded them as foreign aid sent by the East China Sea, how could they not try to win them over? After all, they were all supplying goods to the Baiyi tribe.

Li Zhen is not a fool, how could he not see the intention? However, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. After all, he is here to do business, there is no need to fight and kill.

Yu Shuyang nodded when he heard this. He had to suppress the Dongyuan Xuantian Flag at all times and didn't want to stay in Menzhou any longer, so he agreed.

Ever since he came to Menzhou, the divine position in his divine pupils has been sensitive, and he can see the location of the incense altar very intuitively.

At the same time, Cao Xiaoshan, Fan Liulang and others have not held sacrifices for a long time. The incense and vows in the incense altar are all spontaneous sacrifices by believers.

It seemed that they had been arrested, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive. According to Yu Shuyang's original plan, he was going to go to the incense altar first to find out the news.

Now, being able to find the local boss directly really saves him a lot of trouble.

The treasure ship moved slowly along the river, turning several waterways along the way and coming to a patch of fragrant wood. The thinnest of these fragrant woods was as thick as a person and had been growing for at least five or six hundred years.

The so-called fragrant wood is also called the fragrant nan tree. Logically, this tree likes heat and dislikes cold, so it should grow in the South China Sea. A cold and harsh place like Menzhou is not suitable for its growth.

Li Zhen took Yu Shuyang and Huang Wenxun off the ship together. He manifested the spiritual official on duty to protect the safety of the treasure ship.

"Eighth brother-in-law, cousin, the place we are going to is called Xiangjilin, which is the location of the cave residence of the Great Sea Merchant of Menzhou.

This sea merchant is from the Rat Clan, and has two demon servants under his wing: the White Moth and the Gray Rat."

Li Zhen gave a brief introduction. He had just found out the information, and to be honest, he was not very clear about it.

As soon as the three monsters entered the Xiangluo Forest, they smelled a fragrance that was comparable to the pure air of spiritual charm, making people feel as if their ears and eyes were sharp.

Before the three of them could go any further, a beam of white light flew down from the woods, and in that light, pieces of scales scattered. As the scales fell, a girl of about twenty years old appeared.

"Excuse me, are you three from the East China Sea?" the girl asked in a delicate voice, her voice sounding like a lark.

"We are from the East China Sea." Li Zhen nodded.

The girl let out a long whistle upon hearing that. In just a moment, several gray-haired rats as big as monkeys came over, carrying three sedan chairs that were swaying from side to side.

"Please get into the sedan chair, three distinguished guests!"

Yu Shuyang, Li Zhen, and Huang Wenxun each chose a sedan chair, which was carried by the gray-haired mice. They swayed all the way, but fortunately, they could not feel the bumps while sitting in the sedan chair.

The deeper you go into the Xiangluomu forest, the older the trees are, the bigger they are, and the higher the level of their spiritual roots are, giving you the illusion of being in a deep mountain forest.

The great sea merchant opened up his cave dwelling in the hole of an ancient tree. The tree was as big as a house, and the hole was like a corridor without a door.

The gray-haired mouse carried the sedan chair and entered the tree hole one by one. No one knew what kind of magic power it used, but as soon as the gray-haired mouse and the sedan chair entered the hole, they shrank to the size of a finger.

Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen sat in the sedan chair, feeling a sense of divine power and spiritual charm to varying degrees, as if a huge hand was pressing down on their shoulders.

Fortunately, before they could resist, the force on their shoulders was relieved, and then there was a flash in front of their eyes, as if a stream of light passed by.

After a while, they heard shouts from outside, asking Yu Shuyang and the others to get out of the sedan chair, so they lifted the curtain and walked out.

When I got off the sedan chair and looked around, I saw a building that looked like a temple or Taoist temple, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, lush forests and bamboos planted around it.

There was a middle-aged man dressed as a steward. He was fat and had big ears. He held a small wooden hammer in his hand and said with a smile, "Three distinguished guests, please come in. My master is waiting inside."

Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen looked at each other. One of them practiced Taoism and the other held a divine position. How could they not see that the manager in front of them practiced Taoism?

This incense god way is a practice of absorbing the power of incense and vows. Practicing it for a long time will definitely backfire. The most typical example is the priest of the Fox Kingdom of Qingqiu, the incense god in the brothels.

In order to suppress the erosion of the power of incense and vows, he needed to absorb the frosty air from time to time to keep his emotions stable.

They also have to go to the shrine to offer sacrifices every now and then, letting the resentful ghosts bite them, so that the dead souls and wild ghosts can eliminate the evil of the incense and vows.

Extreme emotions and desires can all turn into karmic fire, which shows how poisonous the power of incense and vows is.

Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen protected Huang Wenxun on the left and right. Even though neither of them had broken through the fifth level, they were both very powerful in casting spells against the enemy.

As the steward entered the temple, they walked through the side door, obviously to bypass the main hall of the temple, probably because they didn't want to be seen by them.

In the spirit of "less trouble is worse than more", Yu Shuyang is fine. After all, less trouble is worse than more.

After walking around three halls, I finally arrived at the backyard, where I saw an obese man who was not wearing much clothes, with his chest exposed, surrounded by four or five beautiful women.

Two of them were kneeling on the ground and rubbing their legs, two came forward and rubbed their arms, one was rubbing his head, and one was rubbing his stomach.

At this time, Yu Shuyang finally understood that the wooden hammer in the manager's hand was used to crack walnuts and pine nuts for the fat man.

The steward stepped forward, leaned over and whispered, "Master, the distinguished guest from the East China Sea has arrived."

The obese man was only wearing a pair of shorts. Whenever he moved, the flesh on his body flowed away like water. He seemed to be stuck on a recliner and had no strength to stand up.

Yu Shuyang and Li Zhen were both alert and vigilant. In their eyes, this piece of meat was like a poisonous incense bomb that could explode at any time.
