Chapter 411 Inviting Gods into the Temple
Chapter 411 Inviting Gods into the Temple
Main house.
Liang Qu washed his face and cheered himself up.
Half a snake gallbladder lay quietly on the table, with a little dark green bile flowing.
Communicate with Ze Ding.
[Water Essence +10345]
Half a snake gallbladder costs a little over ten thousand yuan, and a complete one costs twenty thousand yuan, probably around twenty-one thousand yuan.
"It's far inferior to the sturgeon monster..."
Liang Qu still remembered that the sturgeon dragon tendon he obtained two years ago was only one-fifth of it, but it contributed nearly 8,000 water essences, that is, the total essence of the entire dragon tendon could reach a terrifying nearly 40,000!
Snake gall is not as important to a snake monster as dragon tendons are to a sturgeon monster?
Or was it because the sturgeon monster absorbed half of the dragon bone, causing the amount of water essence to surge?
Liang Qu rubbed his chin.
The faint bitterness in his mouth made him miss the taste of sturgeon tendons even more.
Not to mention the outstanding effect.
Although dragon tendons are much less disgusting when eaten raw than snake gallbladder, they can be stewed into soup or stir-fried with green onions, which is a great idea.
The bitter taste in the gallbladder of a monster snake is really unbearable for most people and it is somewhat beyond the physiological limit.
Especially after a break in the middle, it was full of energy, but then it declined, but for the sake of the essence of water...
Liang Qu thought about it and used Qinglang to cut off one tenth of the snake's gall.
"Cut off some first and save it for making wine."
One tenth of the portion is enough to make a lot of wine.
moment.
He cut another piece.
Then the third piece, the fourth piece...
Finally, half of the snake gallbladder was left and one third of it was cut off.
"I have many friends. I can't help it. I have to be more generous."
……
Near an abandoned mine.
When one snake dies, all things come to life.
Half of the snake's body moved from the vicinity of Maoming Port to the shore of an abandoned mine, disappearing rapidly at the rate of one piece per day.
It is not known how the snakes in the Dragon Palace will react, but the water beasts under Liang Qu’s command are eating with their mouths full of fat.
Awei spread his wings, bit the snake's blood vessels, and tried to suck blood. After a while, he fell to the ground with his round belly.
"Can't Move" crawled to the shore to bask in the sun in the grass, and the mirage worm rolled over its head.
One is emerald green and the other is milky white, they look very much like emerald and white jade buried in the grass.
After ten days of sunshine, the foxtail grass on both sides had grown several sections taller.
Yuantou led the porpoise troops to catch precious fish and eat snake meat during rest time. They did everything in an orderly manner, and the water essence increased steadily every day.
They even began to collect wild finless porpoises, waiting for them to evolve successfully and then bring them under their command.
The fat catfish was not convinced, but it was useless.
He had thought about robbing the precious fish from Yuantou's men before, but tried twice and was beaten twice.
Since he couldn't catch more than ten of the other side's treasure fish, he had to accept reality and eat two more pieces of snake meat.
Not far away, Taotao was holding up his medicine bag and following the water.
Seeing this, the fat catfish raised its head and opened its mouth wide.
Otter opened the paper and medicine and threw them all into the fat catfish's big mouth.
The best croton!
clack.
The medicine packet fell into the fat catfish's mouth and he swallowed it in big gulps, with a look of determination to die heroically in his eyes.
Fight!
There was a constant rumbling sound in the mine.
He waved his fists with both pincers and dug vigorously, eating and digging at the same time. All the low-grade bloodstones went into his stomach, and the medium-grade and high-grade blood ores were all left behind. The red edge of the shell became more and more obvious.
The medium-quality bloodstone ore that has been mined so far has piled up into a small hill outside.
While working hard, suddenly a dazzling red spot broke into the fist's perception range.
Such a rich bloodstone!
The fist immediately changed direction and moved towards the direction of perception with all its strength.
Who knew that after walking a short distance, the bloodstone seemed to shift a little?
Fist scratching head.
April 29th.
In the county government office.
A lifelike white marble sculpture stands in the courtyard, and it is the sculpture of the white ape that subdues the demon!
The statue is about one person tall, not counting the base, but anyone passing by can feel its majestic aura.
There was a bit of shock in his heart when he saw the white ape with his own eyes that day.
Several managers and bookkeepers praised him: "Mr. Dai's craftsmanship is extraordinary."
Dai Jichuan waved his hands repeatedly: "It just so happened that I went to the port to join in the fun that day, and I saw some of the divine monkey's demeanor."
"Mr. Dai made the ape statue, which can be regarded as a legacy."
Jiazi year ago, the Dashun Dynasty was founded and the Dragon King Temple in Xiangyi County was renovated, and the person who took charge of the project was Dai Jichuan's grandfather.
It has to be said that it is fate that additional officials are being appointed today.
Just as everyone was talking, Liang Qu walked in.
"Master Liang!"
"Master Liang!"
The clerks in the county government office bowed one after another, and Liang Qu nodded one by one.
As for the white ape, I had seen it yesterday. "Where is the letter that County Magistrate Liu mentioned?"
“They are all here.”
A manager hurried forward with documents in his hands.
Liang Qu unfolded it and saw that it was the written response that Liu Shiqin had sent to the Hebo Office a few days ago, requesting to add officials to the Dragon King Temple!
Turn to the end.
"Can!"
There were no extra words, followed by two seals.
Liang Qu recognized the official seals of Ran Zhongshi and Xu Yuelong.
There really was no resistance at all to adding subordinates.
"What do you think, Lord Liang?"
Liu Shiqin received the notification and walked out of the government office.
Now everything is ready, only waiting for the documents from Hebo.
The documents have arrived, so...
"What's the nearest auspicious day?"
"The day after tomorrow, May 1st!"
"May 1st, then!"
"Okay, I'll send someone to handle it right away!"
"Thank you, County Magistrate Liu."
Each place has its own customs.
Liang Qu didn't know how to summon the gods in Xiangyi County, so he couldn't help.
Two days later.
The summer breeze blows across the river, creating ripples.
The villagers of the entire Xiangyi County were extremely restless, and their excitement was no less than that on the first day of the Lunar New Year after the Spring Festival.
First, the Zhang and Li families posted notices in advance.
On the day when the white ape subdued the demon, it leaped a thousand meters high, and given the huge body of the snake, at least tens of thousands of villagers witnessed it with their own eyes.
With word of mouth spreading among tens of thousands of people, Liang Qu had no idea how many people he would attract today.
The streets are deserted.
Everyone gathered near the water temple. I heard that many people had been pushed into the water and injured in the morning.
Amid the noise, Liu Shiqin had to ask out loud.
"Sir Liang, are you really not going to be the first offering official?"
"No, County Magistrate Liu is a local official, and it was most appropriate for him to offer his position in the first place. I will just be the second offering official."
Liang Qu shook his head repeatedly.
The scene is so fucking grand.
If there really was a favor, he was afraid that the dragon would get angry and rush directly to the shore.
It takes three times to invite the gods, so there are the first offering official, the second offering official and the third offering official, and their status is from high to low. For now, he just needs to be the second one.
Liu Shiqin was happy.
I didn't expect Liang Qu would give me the great opportunity of petitioning for the people.
I just sold the Mermaid's Tears at a premium, and now that I think about it, it was worth it.
Liu Shiqin happily led Liang Qu into the Water God Temple.
After Liang Qu entered, he discovered that the Water God Temple was bigger than he had imagined.
It is five rooms wide and five rooms deep from east to west, with corridors on all sides. All of them have double-eaved hip roofs. Under the eaves, two Yuan-style door gods stand majestically.
There are nine statues of different sizes in the main hall, with the Water Dragon King in the center and four boys and girls on each side. The sculpting is extremely exquisite, with calm expressions and lifelike images.
Even the surrounding walls are covered with murals.
On the west side is a picture of praying for rain, and on the east side is a picture of rainfall. The content is complicated and the scene is grand.
I thought there were just two or three small houses with a stone dragon king placed in the middle, but I never expected it to be so exaggerated.
It is indeed a big and rich county.
Play so extravagantly.
The priest of the Water God Temple arranged the altar and placed the offerings early in the morning, and several people around him spread out mats.
Get ready, praise the ceremony, read the blessing, and have the deacons wash and wipe their hands.
The overall matter was similar to what Liang Qu had done before in Yixing Town, except that it was more complicated and there were more people with various unknown purposes, none of whom had ever heard of it.
In a small place like Yixing Town, there aren't so many opinions. Most of them are handled by one chief priest and one officiating priest.
Zhang Wenhu, Li Xiaoheng and others successively joined the queue of participants.
One by one in place.
The sun moves south.
Everyone stood at attention and took their positions. When the noise from outside gradually died down, there was suddenly another uproar from outside.
Liu Shiqin showed dissatisfaction and was about to yell when a Ti cavalryman dressed in a cloud eagle uniform rode through the crowded crowd. When he found that he couldn't squeeze in no matter what, he had to shout loudly outside the crowd.
"Where is the water boy in Hebo Suoliang?"
"Liang is here!"
Liang Qu stood up from his seat and shouted in response.
"Huaiyin County was ambushed and the former prefectural master was killed! I hereby order Liang Qu, the water officer, to return to Pingyang Prefecture before May 10th! This order is as heavy as a mountain and there shall be no delay!"
