Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 460 The Eye of God
Boom! Just as Zhou Sheng finished speaking, a pair of eyes, as dazzling and fiery as the sun, seemed to descend upon this vast land.
"Here they come!" Zhou Sheng looked up. He had naturally concealed his tracks to enter the Sacred Treasure Livelihood Academy, but these tricks were nothing in the face of a Celestial Heart Realm cultivator. Moreover, he himself had not yet reached the Immortal level, and couldn't help much in this battle.
"In the end, this is all your fault!" Zhou Sheng suddenly complained to Ji Xiang!
He had originally taken on a mission, and was about to find an opportunity to kill the Thunder King. After all, the Thunder King was always accompanied by Buddha Ghosts, and he was also the leader of the entire South China Sea Dharma Sect, a powerful figure in the Pure Yang Realm, with millions of people praying for him day and night. So, to kill him, one had to find a good opportunity. But Ji Xiang's ascension to immortality had frightened these South China Sea people, and they were desperately trying to gather together and forcibly ascend to immortality.
Listening to Zhou Sheng's remarks, Ji Xiang retorted as a matter of course, "These people are afraid, so they naturally use my momentum to ascend to immortality, seeking power to resist. If you're not doing your job well, you should ask yourself."
Zhou Sheng shook his head repeatedly, but there was no time for the two to bicker.
Those eyes were examining the world, searching for Ji Xiang's trace. The Great Sun Tathagata was arrogant, actually using such mighty methods here. Ji Xiang couldn't help but ask Zhou Sheng:
"Speaking of which, aren't there requirements between Celestial Hearts? The Great Sun Tathagata is so presumptuous, he's here in his true form... that violates the rules of Li Shanhe, right?"
Zhou Sheng said, "That's the general situation. Last time, you almost killed an Equal Enlightenment Bodhisattva. Doesn't Buddhism have any concerns about you? The Vajra with Filth isn't a great power standing up for you, either. Why do you think he, or the other three, will abide by the agreement?"
"Of course, I'm just saying they each have their own ideas. As for the Great Sun Tathagata descending, although the Thunder Sound Agreement was established in Li Shanhe, which is a treaty signed by the major religions to prevent a certain Buddha Emperor from being born and sensing the Heavenly Dao, forcing the Great Thunderclap Temple to sign it, but..."
"The Esoteric School doesn't belong to Thunder Sound."
"Also, my Palace Master told me that the Great Sun Tathagata has carried out an 'Inversion of Cause and Effect' in the South China Sea. He changed the future here once. Guess what he changed?"
Ji Xiang didn't speak.
Future Sight had already given him the answer.
It seemed that someone was helping the Great Sun Tathagata to cover up his actions this time.
Was it the Vajra with Filth again?
"Hmm... Black Qi transforming... I never knew that kind of thing could turn into living people or Divine Fiends."
The Eastern Flower Fairy stared at Zhou Sheng, sensing an extremely ominous aura from the floating black Qi within Zhou Sheng's existence.
Zhou Sheng chuckled, "The feeling you give me isn't right either. You don't seem to be from this era, do you?"
"Flying Immortal, that's not the cultivation path of this world."
The aura on the Eastern Flower Fairy's body became dangerous, but she didn't continue the conversation, because at this moment, that terrifying wave swept over here.
"Change."
Zhou Sheng's concealment technique couldn't stop the Celestial Heart's search, but at this moment, the Eastern Flower Fairy gave each of them a little something, and instantly their auras became ordinary, like mortals, but their appearance didn't change at all.
The Great Sun Tathagata's sensing power swept over here and found nothing. Not only that, but it also provoked the angels' counterattack, so that spiritual power seemed unwilling to cause more trouble and quickly moved away.
"What is this?"
Zhou Sheng was surprised. The Eastern Flower Fairy then began to mock:
"Don't underestimate the ancient immortals. Ancient methods are difficult to cultivate, but the methods of this world are not necessarily stronger than the ancient methods."
This was precisely the spell from *Three Summer Records*! It was one of the "Nine Forms of Scenic Transformation"!
"Changing one's own aura, everything in the world is made of Nine Qi, and Nine Qi originates from Three Qi. With a slight change, one can deceive the heavens and cross the sea, becoming a commoner, becoming hundreds of beasts, feathers, and insects, becoming sand, stones, grass, and gravel."
Ji Xiang's eyes moved slightly, "The Nine Heavenly Genuine Qi?"
"Hmm? That's Penglai Immortal magic." The Eastern Flower Fairy glanced at Ji Xiang and added, "However, the Nine Forms of Scenic Transformation cannot change one's appearance. It is not a change technique in the strict sense, but only one of the ways of change."
"Moreover, it's just the basic application of Nine Qi. I've only had the *Three Summer Records* for a few days, and I've only just learned it."
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but take another look at the Eastern Flower Fairy, and then said to Ji Xiang, "The ancient immortals you've brought out are really getting more and more numerous."
"People from the Han Dynasty are about to revive? It seems that something big is really going to happen in this world. Before the Thunder Sound Agreement, locking up the Buddha Emperor, I now know that it wasn't just the high-ranking people of other religions being alarmist, but that something terrible will indeed happen."
Ji Xiang: "Buddha Emperor?"
Zhou Sheng: "Emperor Huan of Han."
Ji Xiang was shocked at this moment, thinking of the Divine Platform left by Emperor Wu of Han. At this time, the Eastern Flower Fairy's eyes also trembled, and what she thought of was the Spiritual Treasure Celestial Venerable in the True Spirit Rank Chart.
........
A large number of Ming Dynasty naval warships surrounded the port. The Franks and the Dutch, sailors and crew members, were hiding in large numbers in the cabins of their ships, each in their own position, their hearts in their throats, thumping wildly.
A battle could break out at any moment, and the Ming Dynasty fleet, under the pretext of searching for contraband, began to gradually approach the shore, separating the Frankish warships.
"This is Aomen. You probably don't have the right to search Frankish goods."
Among the people sent by the East India Company, there were naturally personnel who were good at negotiation, and there was no need for the missionaries to come forward. The high-level staff in charge of communication stated that they had been renting in Aomen for a long time. Although they had established unique laws here, they had also obtained the permission of the Guangdong Administration Commissioner, which was the official recognition of the laws of this land.
And they had been paying land rent to the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and at the same time, they had been helping the Ming Dynasty to produce cannons in the cannon factory. This was all because the Ming government demanded OEM production, otherwise they would threaten to raise the rent. Since they were completely obedient to the work of the Ming Dynasty, they hoped that the Ming Dynasty would also respect their legal and personal property rights here.
"You have previously bribed officials here and secretly sold large cannons to Wokou pirates, and built forts and castles here. These things have long been exposed. It is natural that your ship has contraband after investigation."
The naval commander warned the staff of the East India Company, and the staff member said, "Yes! But we are coming from Luzon to solve these things. First of all, we fully respect the autonomous rights and interests of your country, and now the Boca Tigris Cannon Factory has also been forcibly controlled and acquired by your country, which does not conform to the normal process. Even if it is a private sale of cannons, it should be handled by the East India Company. Your country does not have control over the Boca Tigris Cannon Factory."
"And back to the matter of searching for contraband, if your country only denies the regularity and seriousness of the law based on the previous acceptance of bribes by officials, I don't think it is appropriate."
"According to the laws here, this kind of search should be carried out by the chairman of the municipal committee, the 'Yimu', supervised by the officials of the Guangdong Administration Commissioner. Only after the inspection is completed, it is the turn of you adults from other provinces to conduct spot checks and inspections."
The naval commander accused, "What seriousness and regularity can there be in the regulations established by accepting bribes? Stop farting here. Your municipal committee is illegal at all. Which is greater, the law of Guangdong or the law of Ming Dynasty? I remember that even if there is a municipal committee, it does not mean that you have 'extraterritoriality'! Figure out whose land you are on!"
The two sides refused to give in to each other, and the staff member began to sweat on his forehead. The Guangdong Administration Commissioner he had been hoping for had not come, and the naval commander smiled and said, "I know who you are waiting for, but unfortunately he should have been invited to dinner now."
"Eating prison food."
The staff of the East India Company frowned, and at this time, a blue-clothed missionary stepped forward. His eyes were clear, like a water mirror, taking in all the people here and the myriad phenomena of the sea, countless ships, into his eyes.
"Let them check."
The blue-clothed missionary smiled. The naval commander saw that the staff member did not dare to say anything, so he gave a shout and began to send people to inspect the Frankish and Dutch fleets of the East India Company.
"Holy Missionary?"
The staff member looked embarrassed, thinking, did they want to wipe out the Ming Dynasty navy here? That would be tantamount to declaring war. It's too much fanfare.
"Don't worry." The blue-clothed missionary whispered, "They won't find anything."
"And they won't remember anything."
"Because what they see is what I want them to see."
"Everything is in my eyes."
"Everything we do here will also be recognized by them, because this is what the Lord asks us to do, and it is a bright cause that must be accomplished."
"And now, you will handle the next thing, and I will do my work."
