Chapter 138: Chapter 135: Can’t Hide, Can’t Shake Off! (1st Update)

"Pant... pant..."

After trying everything to finally escape from death, Wang Yuan couldn’t help but support himself on his knees, gasping for air.

"What in the world is this ’One-Eyed Stone Man’ in the Turbid River?

Just one deceit object that seemed like a claw or fang almost killed the Yin God Mage Nie Renxiong.

Its main body must be a stronger weird entity than the ’Joyful Deity,’ no, given its angry emotions, it’s probably a half-human, half-weird ’Deceit Immortal,’ right?

If I hadn’t ’reincarnated’ from the root up, I would have died at its hands today."

Seeing Wang Yuan looking like he had fought a great battle in just a moment, drenched in sweat and seemingly exhausted.

Huang Wu and Lady Peach Fairy immediately went up to him, heartachingly supporting him carefully from either side.

The increasingly clever ’Mr. One-Eyed’ quickly moved a chair from the Prince Mansion with a ’Five Ghosts Moving Mountains,’ letting his Dharma Master settle down comfortably.

"Xiao Yuan?"

"Dharma Master? What happened?"

Even though they were so close, the two female ghosts, whose lives should have been interlinked with Wang Yuan, also didn’t feel any of the dangers he had experienced.

This further proved the terrifying and evil nature of the One-Eyed Stone Man.

He briefly explained the situation to them.

After resting for a good while, Wang Yuan finally recovered from this brush with death.

He looked down at his new identity in the ’Small Book of Life and Death.’

[Biography · Bookkeeper Yi: Wang Qianshan

Native Place: Luoyang City, Junzhou

Position: Imperial Dragon Guard—Seventh Rank Forbidden Curse Colonel

Gender: Male

Age: Fifteen

Life Span: 112 years (After escaping the imminent death, it is shown)

Abnormality: Eyes as dark as azure (Unsightly Observation); Merit Golden Wheel.

Life Chart: 7, White Tiger Holding Position (Combined: Five Ghosts Eight Defeats)

Qi Fortune: 1, Red Light Shining.

Fate: 8, Having cultivated the ’Earthly Que Golden Book’ for initiation, and after ’Breaking Pattern,’ the bookkeeper has totally jumped out of his original life chart structure, and his life can no longer be bound by the word ’fate.’

Taoist Military Skill: ’Martial Arts and Military Skills’ second realm ’Refining Marrow and Changing Blood’ minor completion, Divine Skills: Imperial Decree Tiger Talisman, Soul Capturing and Spiritual Communication.

Divine Power Skill: Early ’Dharma Seal’ Realm Red Seal Mage, ’Five Senses Altar’ progress (1/5).

Yin Morality: 12891]

Compared to ’Wang Yuan,’ ’Wang Qianshan’ only differs in native place and position, everything else remained completely unchanged.

"If I just create a new identity without changing life span, life chart, or Daoist skill realm, the cost in Yin Morality is still acceptable.

After all, Lady Peach Fairy spent a whole three thousand Yin Morality just without changing the ’Returning Soul Borrowing Qi Pattern’; this time spending thirty thousand is already quite a bargain.

The bulk of the cost was for this newly acquired position of Imperial Dragon Guard.

It requires modifying everyone related’s cognition, like a ’Deceitful Heart’ with a very wide coverage.

Otherwise, if it were just a simple name change, probably only around ten thousand would be enough."

"However, when creating a new account, you can even adjust family and gender, which really made me underestimate the capability of the ’Small Book of Life and Death.’

Even ancestors and gender can be chosen!

The ’Small Book of Life and Death’ is indeed an Innate Treasure, truly touching on a part of the root of the Dao of this world.

Creating a new identity is really almost like reincarnating, and it’s even that kind of VIP customized reincarnation!

If there were enough Yin Morality, couldn’t I just directly make myself the Crown Prince?

Unfortunately, the heavier the causality of the new identity, the higher the cost.

If I wanted to be a Crown Prince, I’m afraid even selling a hundred and eighty Merit Golden Wheels wouldn’t be enough."

At this moment, a complete separation was made between these two identities of Bookkeeper A and Bookkeeper B, perfectly clean without any causal entanglement.

Perhaps the Old Man Sect, relying on mundane methods, might still find some traces between ’Wang Qianshan’ and ’Wang Yuan.’

But the more they rely on Daoist Skills or high figures’ divinations in the dark, the less they can connect the two together.

When Wang Yuan settled his heart.

A far more complete than written fake life slowly emerged from the depths of his heart.

An orphan from Luoyang City, adopted by a retired old Colonel from the Imperial Dragon Guard, with few personal connections, inheriting the old Colonel’s position directly without evaluation.

After seeing the old Colonel off upon completing his learning, he is currently waiting for the Duwei Mansion to arrange his duty...

"This backstory is watertight, with no faults to be found.

Getting a position is not bad either, four of the Five Senses are still vacant, and Yin Morality is always in short supply.

Besides, once the ’Dragon Qi Prohibition’ of Luoyang City is restored, it will be almost impossible to continue advancing Daoist skill in such a place."

The best way to hide a drop of water is to put it in the sea.

Wang Yuan got this idea from Song and Qian, gathering many evil beings to avoid the pursuit of the ’Joyful Deity.’

After joining an organization, you become linked by fate, and from then on you can enjoy the shade under a big tree.

The great sects, the great schools, and the major forces could suppress Qi fortune, standing firm for hundreds of years, but our own "Yin Mountain Taoism" being a small door and a small household, still had a long way to go.

"Once I have money later on, I can even expand: Book Master Bing·Passerby A, Book Master Ding·Soldier B from Song...

One at the court, one in the Taoist sect; one on the righteous path, one on the evil path; use one, keep one in reserve, use whenever I like, switch whenever I want.

No one is me, yet all are me.

By then, I’ll be stealing both salaries and official energy, and when I’m free, I’ll snatch a few ’good brothers’ from the evil path to offer to the heavens—it’ll simply be blissful!"

Wang Yuan, indulging in the prospect of a wonderful life, had not yet realized.

He could dodge the external causality, but the calamity on his own body was destined to be inescapable, unable to shake off!

....

Just as the characters appeared on the "Small Book of Life and Death," thousands of miles away in Yunjing City, inside the Imperial Dragon Commander Mansion.

"Hurry, organize all the yellow registers of the military households from across the country.

This year, we in the Imperial Dragon Guard will be the first to pick people. Everyone must keep their eyes wide open; we can’t let a single talent slip by!

The ’Sacrificial Technique’ doesn’t matter to us for now, but if we mess up the task of recruiting newcomers this year and the Great Captain becomes angry, the brothers won’t have a next year."

"Yes, sir!"

A group of clerks from the Imperial Dragon Guard were busily organizing the yellow registers of the military households that had been "snatched" from the Ministry of War and the Military Commander’s Mansion.

Because on the first day of the eighth lunar month, it was the annual day for the various military government offices of the Great Yan Court to recruit troops in a customary fashion.

For them, today’s ’Sacrificial Technique’ was an exception.

During the reign of the Great Yan Ancestor, he had registered all of the country’s population, categorized by a variety of household types, including civilian, kitchen, Confucian, medical, yin-yang, craftsman, military, and so on.

Although this limited professional mobility and severely suppressed social vigor, it neatly arranged everyone’s life.

Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and the sons of mice are only fit for burrowing holes.

This led to a society where heaven bestowed sanctity, soldiers risked their lives at all times, and military households had a much higher status than in the ancient times of Wang Yuan’s previous life; not just anyone was fit to be a military household.

A single soldier enlists, and his entire family enters the military registry, becoming military households, belonging to the Military Commander’s Mansion, not subject to the control of local administrative officials, with exemption from certain civil services and a status and economic position that is distinct from civilian households.

Military households take on set military services, with sons succeeding their fathers, serving as soldiers generation after generation.

And "Daoist Soldier" households were far superior to "Auxiliary Soldier" households.

Due to the continuation of this household registration system for hundreds of years, it has naturally formed a pattern where officials always lead to officials and generals always lead to generals, with military households inevitably having soldiers.

The ancestor of the Wang Family from Daling, Wang Huchen, was once born among the Thirty-Six Camps—a "Dao General" from the "White Tiger Elite Soldiers."

He served the court his entire life, earning the right to pass down to his descendants a volume of "Volume Eight·White Tiger Military Skill," a legacy of both scholarly and martial pursuits, classifying the entire Wang Family clan as "military households."

Every year on the first day of the eighth lunar month, the Ministry of War and the Military Commander’s Mansion would, according to the rules, draft military households aged fifteen and above into their ranks.

In normal circumstances, "Wang Yuan" who had just turned fifteen, would also be on the list for conscription.

But now, all of Luoyang and the Beimang Mountain region had become a mess, and the downfall of the Yifan and Wang Family was being suppressed without word of how it would ultimately be handled.

Furthermore.

In recent years, as the "Dragon Qi Prohibition" gradually loosened, more and more places required the court’s protection.

The dynasty increasingly relied on the "Imperial Dragon Guard," which recognized both Daoist Skills and Martial Arts, prompting the "Imperial Dragon Commander Mansion" to initiate a large-scale troop recruitment.

"Integrated Force" powerful warriors and "non-human" captains were almost indiscriminately welcomed.

It’s worth mentioning that.

Although the Imperial Dragon Guard was initially staffed up and down with captains who were mostly Taoists from the "Taiyin Xuanbing Dao,"

during the most prestigious years of the Imperial Dragon Guard just after the founding of the country, the Duwei Mansion was no longer a monologue controlled by the "Taiyin Xuanbing Dao."

Instead, it was filled with many "Daoist Soldiers" and "Dao Generals" drawn from military households, general’s families, and even from the "Dragon Elephant Tao."

Taoists from the "Taiyin Xuanbing Dao" now make up only about thirty percent.

After new recruits enter the Imperial Dragon Guard, different magic will be assigned to them according to their life charts and aptitude, acting as junior magicians.

Otherwise.

Allowing a side-door sect to have full control of such a critical violent agency would probably make even the emperor sleep uneasily.

In one office, they were responsible for recruiting new soldiers.

In another office, a group of clerks were carefully checking the book of military records, confirming and arranging those who, through "shadow replacement," had already been designated for early enlistment according to each person’s characteristics.

"Wang Qianshan from Luoyang, an orphan, taken in by an old captain of the Imperial Dragon Guard, and today he turns fifteen.

"Daoist Soldier" level, adept at Ghost Dao Techniques, and has already achieved enlightenment.

With such a noble lineage and still so young, a true talent!

Now that the Imperial Dragon Guard’s defense focus has shifted to the county level, let’s see where he should be sent?"

The eyes of this clerk wandered along Luoyang, Luoshui, Turbid River and further down, his gaze slightly hazy for a moment.

Eventually, near the mouth of the Turbid River, he paused.

"Since there were no prior arrangements made, let’s proceed by the book.

Good steel should be used for its cutting edge, let’s place him here... in Yunhe County."

The middle-aged clerk casually added a note in the military register.

Then, without any sign of abnormality, he continued to flip to the next page.

During this time, he seemed to have completely overlooked the fact that just a blink of an eye before, the name "Wang Qianshan" was not on the military register at all!
