Chapter 391 The Four Pillars of the Demon Court
Chapter 391 The Four Pillars of the Demon Court
The destructive desire that arises with the sudden increase in strength is caused by the imbalance between one's own position in the world.
Just like a three-year-old child exploring the boundaries of the world through destruction.
That's all.
Liang Qu had an epiphany.
Breaking through the wolf smoke and transforming into a marmoset spirit, the two combined, magnified the sense of imbalance between oneself and the world dozens of times. Instinctively, one wants to wreak havoc to redefine one's own situation. There is no need to suppress it, just let it go.
The same would happen to someone else.
It’s just that the multiples for ordinary people are often smaller, and the feelings are not deep enough. After a period of time, they will get used to it.
It is said that power can make people lose their way. It is probably the same principle.
A sense of imbalance arises, and one wants to re-examine oneself and one's position in the world, but one is unable to limit oneself with morality in the midst of destruction and ends up sinking into it.
Liang Qu thought.
"When will the donor leave?"
"Pack up and leave before midnight."
The old monk nodded and took out two small wooden orders from his sleeve.
In the centre of the small order there is a little man sitting cross-legged, with soft golden light emanating from the outlines.
"If you encounter danger, you can break or crush one of them. It won't be a problem for you to withstand a few hits from the snake monster with your physical body."
hiss!
Is there such a good thing?
Liang Qu was overjoyed. He took the thumb-sized order and thanked him solemnly.
The old monk put his hands together.
"Just live here and rent it out."
After dinner, prepare some dry food for the journey.
The water beasts traveled back and forth through the underground rivers and flocked to the pier to wait for orders.
The otters carried the boats on their shoulders, and the beavers held the wooden boxes in their arms, and they carried them onto the boat one by one.
"Fist, let's go! I'll come back and find you a good spot again!"
He touched his fists with his claws and reluctantly left the cave.
After living in the cave for half a year, it has become attached to the cave. This time it will have to start all over again.
Nothing can be done.
There are obviously no good mines near Liang Qu's house, mostly clay, so this is a good opportunity to make room for one.
The lively pond suddenly became much quieter.
Liang Qu was the only one who did not leave.
He sat on the old toad's royal stone, using his Qi to circulate the Chong meridian to cleanse the blood and Qi throughout his body, while breathing in his heart and waiting quietly.
The moon hangs on the branches.
The dragon man, who had been busy for several days, poked his head out and saw Liang Qu sitting cross-legged on a huge rock.
"grown ups?"
"My Lord is waiting for us?"
"Yes." Liang Qu nodded, "I want to ask you something."
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We two brothers will tell you everything we know!"
"About the snake demon in Xiangyi County..."
Liang Qu was not in a hurry to set off. He was waiting for the brothers Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe, wanting to get to know more about the snake demon.
After all, the two of them had reminded each other once after the holiday.
Hearing the question from "Dragon King", the two felt ashamed.
"Huaiyin Prefecture is far away from Pingyang County. We only met Long Zijian and his men once during the Spring Festival and learned the news. We have not had any contact since then. We two do not know the details."
Liang Qu remained silent. Fortunately, he had prepared himself mentally and was not too disappointed.
Long Pingjiang clasped his fists and said, "Sir, are you going to deal with the snake demon?"
Long Pinghe was reminded by his elder brother and looked around. He then noticed that the usually bustling pond was much quieter and the most active group of river otters had disappeared.
"Well, we'll set off today."
Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe were horrified. Liang Qu had made a breakthrough today and had spent an entire afternoon trying to hold back his aura, but the two of them hadn't noticed yet and were quite panicked.
"My Lord, you must not do that. Now is the time to hide your strength and bide your time. Why would you want to provoke that snake demon?"
Just because the old Dragon King is strong enough to be reborn doesn’t mean the new Dragon King can still do the same!
What if it really happens?
The dragon clan is really going to slowly disappear in the swamp!
Liang Qu's eyes were dim: "Sooner or later, I will have to fight that snake demon, so I might as well take advantage of this incident to get ahead of it."
Long Pingjiang was stunned: "I am stupid and don't know what you mean by that, sir?"
"Let me ask you, which four pillars are the Demon Court distributed in the southeast, northwest and northeast of Daze?"
"Naturally, it was the Southern Toad and the Northern Fish, the Western Turtle and the Eastern Snake. After the True Dragon passed away, the Eastern Snake King transformed into a Jiao and led the entire tribe to move into the Central Dragon Palace. Apart from the part of the eastern waters that they still held, most of them were given to the Northern Fish and another unknown great monster."
"I have never seen what the so-called northern fish looks like, but..."
Liang Qu jumped onto the shore, dug out a piece of wood from near the beaver family's cabin, and then pulled out a piece of charcoal from the campfire where the river otters were grilling fish.
A rough drawing of the strange fish that looked like a Dunkleosteus and was covered with armor that had been slaughtered in Huazhu County, with the wooden board lifted.
“Does a northern fish look like this?”
Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe took a quick look and were stunned.
"Have you seen my lord?!"
"I encountered one last year when I was controlling floods in Huazhu County." Liang Qu put down the wooden board, "I also killed a snake monster last summer. This year, two snake monsters appeared in Xiangyi County, which attracted the snake demon.
Fish from the north come to the south bank, and giant snakes and monsters appear in the shallow waters.
Actually...
You all came to see me, right?"
The Longping River and the Longping River were silent.
Liang Qu is not stupid.
Back then, Toad told him to go less to the east and north, but didn't tell him the specific reason.
Liang Qu always kept it in mind, and after receiving oral instructions on flood control, he was able to touch upon many secrets.
The last time we were building a fleet, Ran Zhongshi mentioned that northern fish were powerful, which led to a high share of the northern fleet, and gave a rough description.
Now, after confirmation with the dragon man, it is indeed the strange fish that was once slaughtered in Huazhu County.
North and south are opposite.
What could be the purpose of this strange fish traveling all the way here?
What could be the purpose of so many snake monsters appearing in shallow waters?
Not to mention that almost all the snake monsters in the entire swamp are under the command of the dragon!
Their purpose in coming to the South Bank is actually very simple.
Combined with the big commotion the Jiaolong had previously made to summon the big monsters, the Jiaolongs in the big swamp, like the dragon-men, had actually already taken action.
It’s just that Liang Qu didn’t realize it before, and it wasn’t until this year that he connected all the events together.
Long Pingjiang's face was filled with worry: "Since you know this, why did you take the initiative to go there? What if Jiaolong..."
"Because the whole thing has nothing to do with me."
Liang Qu's tone was calm.
The snake demon was making trouble because he had a grudge against the Zhang and Li families for stealing their children, and he was in the wrong first.
If the basilisk had not crashed into the fish pond, destroyed the ship, and encountered Xiangyi County, which was full of martial virtue, things would never have come to this point.
But since things had come to this, even if Liang Qu killed him, Jiaolong would not dare to fart, and was even anxious to distance himself from Dashun because of his connection with him.
Never dare to go to the shallow water to explore!
When the real dragon was in existence, even the Jianghuai and Daze regions had to make three agreements with the dynasty.
Not to mention that the Jiaolong has not become a real dragon yet. Even if it did become a real dragon, it would not be its turn to boss people around.
The Jiaolong is at least half dragon, so its effects aren't as exaggerated as those of a real dragon, but it's just as nutritious!
Several martial saints in charge of Nanzhili would not mind catching a tonic that had washed ashore so that there would be one or two more martial saints in their family.
"In other words, the snake demon's death at this juncture would be in vain."
For a world that is vast enough and a court that is large enough.
No matter whether the cat is black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat!
As for Jiaolong, anything related to Dashun.
Don't mess with him.
