What was going on here?
His immortal sense having been disturbed by the treasure light to the north, Li Changshou and his Paper Clones approached the stockade and hid atop a tall tree. Only then did they glimpse what was happening inside.
Several hundred villagers had gathered near the stockade gate. A stage had been erected there, and several figures in Daoist robes were jumping about atop it.
Someone was preaching the Dao here...
Looking closely at the source of the treasure light, it was actually a clay statue behind these "preachers."
Li Changshou smiled inwardly. The middle-aged man formed from a paper figure leaped down from the treetop and immediately prepared to leave.
He had thought some treasure had emerged and had come over hoping to pick up a bargain.
These days, where were there so many treasures to be found...
If this sort of preaching happened outside the Southern Continent, it was most likely some great sect conducting publicity to recruit disciples.
But if it happened within the Southern Continent, then it was either swindling money or gathering Incense Merit.
Such things were not uncommon.
The cultivation displayed by those preachers was all around the third or fourth level of the Nascent Soul Stage.
The old Daoist guarding the three-foot-tall clay statue displayed cultivation at the peak of the Void Returning Realm, close to the Dao Attainment Realm...
In short, it had nothing to do with him.
The paper figure formed a Magic incantation with both hands, hid behind the tree, and began to perform Earth Evasion.
A chant of scripture drifted over on the wind, entering the paper figure's ears and Li Changshou's heart.
The scripture went:
"...With a grand vow, attain the supreme Dao; let Bodhi blossom in the West..."
Western Teachings?
