My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 238 Li Changshou’s Little Fundamental Routine

Li Changshou really would not recognize that fellow if he did not appear with the headgear. He was actually the famous Ox-head of the Netherworld.

Who is this Ox-head?

There was a poem in ancient times that read:

“There’s a Justice Yama in the Netherworld. He is impartial and he can distinguish between good and evil. The Netherworld judge is here to help. The Ox-head and Horse-face are beside him.”

The ‘Ox-head’ and Horse-face were the emissaries of the Netherworld whom Li Changshou was very familiar with in his previous life. They were basically as famous as the Black and White Impermanence.

In Li Changshou’s blurry memories, there was a noodle shop near his home when he was young. It was called the Cow Head Horse. It tasted pretty good!

Speaking of which... are the famous Ox-head and Horse-face really just two experts from the Magi race who had merely put on some headgear?

The Magi are really something.

Li Changshou sighed in his heart and did not forget to pay attention to the changes in the current situation.

That matter had developed to the point where they were already rubbing their palms together and preparing to fight. The reasons included the arrogance and haughtiness of the Netherworld servants who deliberately caused trouble, and the recklessness of Exalted Wang Qing. ‘Little Ghosts’ like the Netherworld General would feel a sense of superiority and not make things difficult for them as long as they said some nice things to them.

Besides, Li Changshou and the others had gone to the Netherworld to build connections and get in through the back door. They could be defined as trying to interfere with the normal operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. They were wrong in the first place.

Just as the two parties were about to fight, another expert of the Netherworld, the Ox-head, appeared. Sect Leader Ji Wuyou was a little wary...

Ji Wuyou immediately sent a voice transmission to the four people behind him.

“Be careful. This monster is extraordinary. Try your best to avoid any conflict.”

Youqin Xuanya frowned slightly. She felt that the Sect Leader was acting different from before.

Li Changshou laughed in his heart. He thought that it would be great if the Sect Leader could understand the Great Art of Following One’s Heart.

Ahem, can the disciples of Ren School be considered to have followed their hearts?

They are just ready to accept good advice.

Then, he heard the Ox-head say, “Are you here to cause trouble?”

“Fellow Daoist, I am not here to cause trouble.” Ji Wuyou placed his sword behind his back and said calmly, “I originally wanted to go to Fengdu City for a trip, but this Netherworld General behind you has deliberately made things difficult and stopped me here.”

The Ox-head held his headgear to make his head look more harmonious and natural. The expression on his headgear was also lively.

The Ox-head turned his head and looked at the sallow-faced general behind him.

He frowned and asked, “Why are you stopping them for no reason? Couldn’t you have just let them go after taking some treasures? If they don’t go, how are the brothers after us going to accept the gifts?” The five Immortal Du Sect cultivators were speechless.

The general quickly said, “Marshal, it’s really not that I was deliberately trying to stop them. They were the ones who spoke arrogantly and deliberately provoked us!”

Ji Wuyou immediately said, “We were deliberately provoking you? Fellow Daoist, why did you let others go and only stop me then?”

Li Changshou secretly praised his Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader was actually extremely familiar with the method of shifting the focus and secretly changing the concept. It was obvious that he had done it frequently before...

Ahem, it’s obvious that he has a rich life experience. He is indeed a talent that the Tushita Palace desperately needs for running errands!

When my position in Ren School stabilizes, I will definitely recommend him to the Great Daoist Master.

The Soul-Reaping Envoy, the Ox-head, looked at his subordinates, and then at Ji Wuyou. Although he was a little conflicted, he still chose to stand on his subordinates’ side...

“Alright, the five of you can go back. I won’t ask anything more about this matter today and I won’t argue with you. The Netherworld is a place of reincarnation for living beings. It is a place protected by the Heavenly Dao. Not everyone can cause trouble here.” Ji Wuyou frowned and Jiang Lin’er panicked after hearing Ox-head’s words.

Li Changshou sighed in his heart. In the end, he could not help but come out to bluff them a little...

“Marshal!”

Youqin Xuanya suddenly opened her mouth and said firmly, “Don’t tell me that you’ve made such a decision without asking about the reason?”

Ox-head snorted and put his hands behind his back.

“Not everyone can enter the Netherworld.”

Youqin Xuanya was about to continue when a huge hand reached out from the side and stopped her.

She turned around and met Li Changshou’s gaze. Li Changshou shook his head with a smile and said, “Junior Sister Youqin, you can’t just look at your own position when handling matters. You have to be wary of the other party’s pride. Let me try this. Keep the Dharma treasures.” Youqin Xuanya was instantly speechless. She only nodded slightly. The flying swords around her returned to their sheaths and became a large sword.

Li Changshou took two steps on the gray cloud and bowed.

“Sect Leader, Grandmaster, Uncle-Grandmaster, can I give it a try? Can I ask this Soul-Reaping Marshal to let us go to Fengdu City?”

No matter what, he should first take note of the pride of his master.

Ji Wuyou hesitated. He was worried that something would happen to Li Changshou.

After all, that was the treasure of the Immortal Du Sect. It was the personal possession of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du!

Uh, no, no... Exalted Wang Qing looked at Li Changshou with a frown. His gaze was full of concern and austerity, as if he was afraid that Li Changshou would say something wrong and encounter some mishap.

However, Jiang Lin’er hurriedly said, “Changshou, we’re counting on you.”

“Yes, Grandmaster.”

Li Changshou performed a standard Dao salute and smiled. He flew towards the Ox-head and the group of Netherworld servants.

He flew very slowly and smiled sincerely.

However, for some reason, the Soul-Reaping Ox-head and the other unimportant Netherworld servants suddenly had the urge to retreat.

Before the Ox-head could speak, Li Changshou performed another Dao salute.

“I am Li Changshou, disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. Greetings, Senior Ox-head.”

“Huh?” Ox-head blinked. “Are you... from the Ren School? That Ren School with the Saint?”

“Senior, you must be joking. In this world, no one would dare to assume the identity of a disciple of the Saint.”

Li Changshou nodded with a smile and released some Dao runes. Ox-head’s eyes lit up again.

He did not know those Dao runes, but he felt that they were very mysterious.

Li Changshou said, “There are too many people here. Can I speak with you privately?”Li Changshou”

“Why?” Ox-head was a little confused. “Just say it.”

Li Changshou touched his sleeve and took out a dark red stone.

The Soul-Reaping Envoy’s expression changed instantly. It became stern, sharp, and alert. It was completely different from the frivolous look that he had previously!

He cupped his hands and made an inviting gesture.

“Please, come here.” Li Changshou took a step forward with Ox-head and walked 200 feet to the side, causing the two groups of people to tilt their heads...

Under the confused, shocked, and bewildered gazes of the Netherworld servants and the four people of the Immortal Du Sect, Ox-head took out a steel fork and gently paused on the ground. A sanguine barrier enveloped the two of them.

Even Ji Wuyou, who was at the Golden Immortal realm, could not hear what the two of them were saying...

Youqin Xuanya blinked and could not help but laugh bitterly.

How... could he learn that? After about an hour, the Ox-head dispersed the barrier and sighed. He bowed to Li Changshou who hurriedly returned the gesture. Ox-head took out a wooden tablet. There was a simple ox’s head engraved on the wooden tablet, which contained a little aura Dao runes. The bull-headed man said seriously, “If you encounter any trouble in Fengdu City, take out this identity token. No one will dare to make things difficult for you.” “Thank you for taking care of me, Senior.”

“No, no, I should thank you for taking care of

me.”

Ox-head sighed softly but did not say anything. The two of them made an inviting gesture and returned to their respective places.

The Soul-Reaping Envoy shouted, “What are you waiting for? Give way! They are the distinguished guests of the Netherworld! Are all of you itching for a beating?” As he spoke, Ox-head glared at the sallow-faced general.

The latter’s expression changed and his legs started to tremble...

On Li Changshou’s side, he bowed to the Sect Leader, his Grandmaster, and Uncle-Grandmaster. He calmly returned to Youqin Xuanya’s side.

Done.

At that moment, the Netherworld servants made way for them. Ji Wuyou smiled and led the four of them through the checkpoint.

Although Ji Wuyou, like Jiang Lin’er, Exalted Wang Qing, and Youqin Xuanya, felt extremely confused and did not know what was going on, the Sect Leader knew very well and he would not ask about what Li Changshou had asked. After all, it was ‘that’. No matter how miraculous it was, it was not amazing.

As soon as the five people of the Immortal Du Sect left, the Soul-Reaping Envoy spat out two streams of white smoke from its nostrils. Without a word, it suddenly turned around and kicked the evil general to the ground!

The kick was not too forceful. It only knocked the other party down, after which he threw himself forward and punched and kicked.

After spouting a series of gentle and casual vulgarities of the Magi... the Soul-Reaping Envoy removed his headgear and spat at the general who was curled up on the ground. “Damn it! How dare you abuse the power of the Netherworld to make enemies for the Netherworld! I’ve been leading a good life for a few days. You feel uncomfortable all over, don’t you? You bastard! How dare you stop the people from Ren School? You got so drunk while eating just a few dishes!”

The Netherworld General on the ground, who was already bruised and swollen, begged for mercy. The Ox-head humphed coldly and stretched his muscles. He then put on his headgear.

His headgear was also a Dharma treasure. Soon, it merged with his body. Apart from its poor complexion, there was no flaw.

Ox-head thought for a while and said, “Those who can write, come and write a few good words. When the five of them leave later, hang them on both sides as compensation!” “Marshal, what are we supposed to write?”

“Hmm... Just write some polite words to welcome them to the Netherworld.”

The group of Netherworld servants suddenly understood something and started to get busy.

At the same time... Jiang Lin’er was also staring at Li Changshou on the cloud that had just flown away.

“Changshou, how did you... do it?”

Since Li Changshou dared to make a move, he naturally had a plan in advance.

He even prepared three different explanations...

He took out the stone that he had shown Ox-head and smiled.

“Grandmaster, this was given to me by my cousin, Lingli, before I came here. Lingli has the bloodline of a Magihuman, which is also a rare bloodline in the Primordial World. This stone is called the Magi Blood Stone, which is a token of the Magi. On the way there, the Sect Leader mentioned that most of the experts in the Netherworld used to be Magi. Just now, I wanted to give it a try. I took out the item and responded with a few words...”

That stone was naturally not given to him by Xiong Lingli. Li Changshou had dug it out from the pile of rocks in Xiong Village.

Jiang Lin’er frowned and said, “Although you make it sound so easy, it’s not something that can be done so easily!”

Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “Don’t ask Changshou anymore. Isn’t it good that we can come over?”

Jiang Lin’er was stunned for a while before she obediently lowered her head and agreed.

When she looked at Li Changshou again, she felt that there were a few more layers of fog on her mysterious little grand-disciple.

Where did Second Brother take in such a disciple? He should be a reincarnation of a mighty figure.

What did Li Changshou say to Ox-head?

In fact, he did not say much. He started to speak simply about his cousin’s relationship with Xiong Lingli. Then, his tone changed...

“Senior, have you heard of the Sea God of the South Ocean?”

After that, Li Changshou mostly talked about his “friend”, the Sea God.

He pointed out the relationship between the Sea God, the Ren School, the Heavenly Courts, and the dragon race. He also explained clearly how the Sea God formed ties with the Magi and how he would benefit the Magi...

Li Changshou was hiding something in his words. He said that the Sea God wanted to help the Magi improve their living conditions. He also hinted that he, Li Changshou, was willing to persuade the Sea God of the South Ocean to go to the Netherworld...

After using a few simple tricks, Ox-head had already treated Li Changshou as a VIP. He was even looking forward to the future arrival of the Sea God of the South Ocean.

That was the plan to kill a few birds with one stone.

Not only did it ease the tension between the Immortal Du Sect and the other party, it also resolved the conflict and opened the path to Fengdu City.

The five of them could receive some attention from the Netherworld forces so that they could find Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu later.

More importantly, his conversation with Ox-head had also helped Li Changshou gain a footing in the Heavenly Courts and stabilize his position. After that, he would set up enough schemes and plots against the underworld to gain merit...

Currently, there were only two remaining Magi races. One was the Eternal Town that had severed ties with the witches. Before entering the Netherworld, they had also sworn that they would not interfere in the matters of the Magi.

The other was the pure Magi. They had been exiled to the bitter and cold land of the North Continent. They struggled with difficulty and could not take even half a step out of the North Continent.

The magi of the Netherworld wanted to help the Magi of the North Continent. That was an important clue that Li Changshou had obtained when he was conversing with Ox-head. He had also decided to take advantage of the situation and solve the root of the problem...

After the five of them flew for a while, Li Changshou recalled something. He looked at Youqin Xuanya, who was facing the sky, and sent her a voice transmission.

“Junior Sister Youqin, you shouldn’t do anything physical. It’s safer to talk as much as possible.”

“Yes, Senior Brother. I’ll remember that.”

Youqin Xuanya smiled gently, but there was some helplessness in her smile.

Senior Brother Changshou was like a thick book.

Every time she saw some of his content, she would realize that it was just a preview. There were still countless pages behind...

After obtaining the Soul-Reaping Envoy’s token, it was much easier to find Wan Jiangyu’s True Spirit.

Fengdu City was grand and prosperous. Under Jiang Lin’er’s lead, the five of them entered the city and went straight to the office of the Netherworld to find the low-ranking official.

The low-ranking official naturally recognized Jiang Lin’er. When he saw her, he took out more than ten treasure pouches and said that he would not be able to handle that matter. He really could not find the reincarnated tree spirit of Wan Jiangyu.

Jiang Lin’er’s eyes turned red as she begged the low-ranking official to try again. The latter merely shook his head.

When Li Changshou saw that, he immediately took out the token from the Ox-head. The low-ranking official shivered and hurriedly invited the five of them in to rest. He also asked his “boss” to come forward and investigate carefully. In the end, the result was still the same...

She was really gone. Just as Jiang Lin’er was about to fall into despair, Li Changshou frowned and asked, “Sir, may I trouble you to inform us of the place where her True Spirit has reincarnated? Since it is a tree spirit, it will not be too far away from its birthplace.”

That shrewd-looking low-ranking official with two beards suddenly hesitated...

“I’m afraid that that would be against the rules...”

It was rare for Li Changshou to make a decision on his own. He took the dozen or so treasures from his Grandmaster and added two more. Then, he went up to the low-ranking official and smiled.

“We definitely won’t make things difficult for you, Sir. We’ll just steal a glance at your file. You didn’t mean to reveal it.”

“In that case...”

The low-ranking official muttered to himself for a while. Li Changshou had already stuffed the dozen or so treasures into his sleeve and retracted his hand without leaving any trace.

The low-ranking official nodded and sighed.

“That’s not impossible. Come with me. The rest, please wait here for me.”
