Chapter 428 Born True Spirit
Chapter 428 Born True Spirit
The iron-blue stars hang high in the sky.
The night wind blew through the courtyard, rubbing the leaves of the newly grown jujube trees silently.
Su Guishan twisted his fingers lightly and wiped them dry on the towel. Instead of giving a direct answer, he threw the question to Liang Qu.
"How do you think the imperial court views the Jianghuai Jiaolong? Why did the Dragon King disappear? What kind of strength do the so-called Four Pillars of the Demon Court have?"
There is a play!
Liang Qu was delighted.
The fact that Su Guishan did not reject it immediately proves that he intended to reveal it!
opportunity!
Every profession has its own expertise. The old monk is indeed very capable, but he did not practice in Jianghuai, so he does not know much.
Toad belongs to the demon clan, so the angle is different, and many issues are relatively private. It is impossible to guess what the relationship between the fat catfish and the toad is. Liang Qu feels that his relationship with the toad is a little worse.
Later, the relationship was exposed, and the problem of the fat catfish should be equated with myself, so it was inappropriate to ask on my behalf.
After all, Su Guishan is the most famous person Liang Qu can meet and the one who knows the most about the Jianghuai Lake.
Moreover, he rode a black tortoise across the Yangtze River, Huai River and the vast lakes, and the scenery was unique. His understanding was definitely deeper than that of ordinary people.
Some thoughts.
"The Jianghuai Lake stretches for thousands of miles and contains countless resources. The imperial court must want to obtain them. Unfortunately, whether it is mining or treasure hunting, a large number of people are needed.
Moreover, it is not for ordinary people, one must be a master of breath holding, otherwise even if you obtain it, your development will be limited. "
"Ah."
Su Guishan did not comment.
The underlying foundation determines the superstructure.
Grandmaster, the Martial Saint did not appear out of thin air.
Like Liang Qu himself, he has servants at home and doesn't have to worry about anything.
Washing clothes by yourself is a waste of resources and time. This is the simplest example that can greatly save efficiency and time.
Mining and treasure hunting, such low-level labor cannot be done by a master. Even for a master like Wolf Smoke, it is not realistic to go mining. But how can a Benma martial artist dig when he goes into the water?
The Wolf Smoke Martial Artist could hold his breath and not move for an hour, but once he moved, he could only last a quarter of an hour or two.
Running horses are even worse.
Is it possible to dig a few times and then float to the surface to take a breath?
The mining tunnel is a little longer, and if you get lost, you will suffocate to death in it.
When we entered the cave, we saw it was full of corpse water.
Human resources are the most valuable resources!
Therefore, because of the flood caused by the dike breach in Huazhu County, several great martial artists in Hebo will be busy for nearly two months. If the Ghost Mother comes to make trouble, the imperial court will be furious.
There are so many underwater treasures, but there is no human resources to cash them in!
“Instead of taking control of the resources of the Great Lake that are difficult to use, which can only be seen but not eaten, it is better to let the water god who occupies the water resources send spirits to work and develop it on our behalf, and the court can then trade with them in various processed products, achieving a win-win situation.
From this perspective, the court should mainly adopt an attitude of cooperation and appeasement towards Jiaolong.
It's a pity that the Jiaolong does not have the strength of the old Dragon King, and dares not to show up easily. He also can't understand that the imperial court will only make a profit once by killing him, but will be able to make a profit in the long run by keeping him.
In fact, the imperial court will do nothing at the moment, but will wait for the dragon to transform into a dragon?
As for the flooding, maybe there are other ways to solve it? For example, relocate the people in advance?"
Liang Qu said a lot in one breath.
Then he secretly glanced at Su Guishan to observe his reaction.
Su Guishan remained calm, opened the crayfish and threw it into his mouth, sucked his fingers twice, and said leisurely.
"Yes, go on."
Liang Qu used both the eye recognition method and the ear recognition method, but he couldn't sense Su Guishan's attitude at all. He used this to judge whether what he said was right or wrong, so he had to continue.
"Why did the Dragon Lord disappear? How did he disappear? I am so weak and know so little that I have no idea.
And the strength of the four pillars of the demon court...
Logically speaking, there should be four great masters of heaven and man. After all, in the entire Nanzhili, there are only two martial saints in charge.
Even though the Jianghuai Lake is vast and has enough space for survival, there shouldn't be as many as five of them appearing at once.
But now, I feel that I am indeed a Martial Saint."
"Oh?" Su Guishan was surprised. "Tell me the reason?"
“First, the two martial saints in Nanzhili are not clear about their actual strength, so I dare not make any rash statements.
Second, people go to high places and water flows to low places. Huaiyin Prefecture has two masters, but in other counties, the highest is no more than a wolf smoke master.
Monsters are no exception. I learned some time ago that when the Dragon King is still alive, many big monsters will float downstream and come to the Jianghuai Lake to develop.
Therefore, although the Jianghuai Lake appears to be thousands of miles away, it is actually the point where the power of the entire Jianghuai River reaches its peak. We should not limit our focus to the lake alone, but also consider other large lakes.
And...if I'm not mistaken, the Northern Demon King among the Four Pillars of the Demon Court should have come from the sea, right?
In this way, Huaijiang developed three to four Martial Saint monsters, which I think is quite reasonable. "
Liang Qu's analysis made Su Guishan straighten his expression and put down the chicken leg in his hand.
"I remember you were born into a fisherman family. You haven't been to school, have you?"
Liang Qu emphasized: "I have been in the academy for more than half a year, and I also insist on reading books on weekdays."
"It's not easy to have such coherent thinking logic and insights without ever attending a college!"
"I've been in school for half a year and I've persisted in studying..."
"Okay." Su Guishan interrupted Liang Qu's defense, "Let me ask you, how many dragons do you think there are in the world today?"
How many dragons are there in the world today?
Liang Qu was startled and asked hesitantly, "Are there many?"
Su Guishan laughed, shook his head and held up three fingers.
Liang Qu was shocked.
"Three?"
"Yes, three!"
"But there are only three of them. How do they reproduce? Could it be that they are all like the Jiaolong, all transformed from snakes into dragons?" Liang Qu brainstormed. He knew that they were functionally extinct, so it was unlikely that real dragons could reproduce. Then the only way was...
"Don't let me fool around. I'll tell you straight away. Of these three real dragons, one is in the Huai River, one is in the Huangsha River, and one is in the Beiting E River. Oh, yes, the ones in the Huai River and Huangsha River are gone. So right now, there is only one real dragon in the world!"
A Huai River, a Huangsha River, and a Beiting E River?
The distribution is too balanced...
Liang Qu frowned.
"Boy, what do you think a dragon is now?"
"Could it be that...the river gave birth to a natural spiritual creature?"
"That's right! It's a natural creature. Have you ever eaten Baoyu?"
Liang Qu's pupils shrank suddenly and he blurted out.
"A true dragon is a treasure fish?"
"Don't get excited. This is just a mainstream guess. We haven't figured out exactly how the real dragon appeared. We are only sure of three points.
First, true dragons only exist in the large rivers and lakes that cross the Tianshan Mountains; they have never been heard of in the sea.
Second, there is one dragon for each river. Unless the Huangsha River comes to visit the Huaijiang River, it will be counted as two ends for the time being.
Third, once a true dragon dies, it will reappear within two Jiazi years. "
"What's up with the Jiaolong? I heard that the Jiaolong was once a big snake, and it transformed into a Jiao after entering the Dragon Palace! And it has been trying to turn into a dragon all this time?"
Su Guishan was quite surprised: "You know a lot..."
Liang Qu coughed awkwardly.
"It doesn't matter. You learned it from the dragon man or your white ape friend, right?"
"Uncle has a keen eye!"
"We believe there are two ways for a true dragon to appear. One is natural birth, and the other is inheritance and transformation into a true dragon! The Jiaolong did the second way!
Regarding the court's attitude towards the dragon, it is actually pretty much the same as you guessed, with only some slight differences in details.
A big lake with a dragon king is indeed much more beneficial to Dashun than a big lake without a leader.
As long as they are on Dashun's side, Dashun doesn't care who will be the Dragon King. It can be a Jiaolong, it can be my Black Turtle, oh, your white ape friend may also be able to do it if he has a chance in the future."
Liang Qu's heart skipped a beat.
"But the dragon... First, it will become a real dragon, so there will be water leakage. Second, this dragon is slightly hostile to my Dashun..."
"hostility?"
"In the past, Jiaolong, as a giant snake, had a quarrel with Dashun because of the Ghost Mother Cult, the remnants of Daqian. Although the past is over, but... Jiaolong is a demon, can you understand?"
Su Guishan emphasized the word "one".
Liang Qu understood.
The territory of Dashun was too vast, and martial saints emerged one after another.
Not to mention anything else, before the Dashun family became prosperous, there were many martial saints in the family.
This is only the case for one family, what about the other scattered ones?
In addition, other Martial Saints have come together to form a group, unite and win over each other. What the Holy Emperor needs to consider is the overall interests, not the gains and losses of one family.
Even though we had some unpleasantness in the past, we can still put aside our grudges and work together to make money.
It's just a small place. After the Jiaolong turns into a real dragon, it becomes a top individual. If it wants to cooperate, it will cooperate. If it doesn't cooperate, there is nothing you can do about it.
No wonder he has been shrinking, it’s not just a matter of distrust.
There is a rift!
In order to ensure safety, Dashun would like to take action if it gets the chance. It would be best to replace the Dragon King, which is in line with its interests.
Su Guishan continued, "As to why the real dragon disappeared, I don't know, or perhaps no one in the entire Dashun knows.
Jianghuai Dragon King is the strongest among the three Dragon Kings. He is a level stronger than the other two. Only the two Dragon Kings joining forces can match him.
Logically speaking, even if the four pillars of the Demon Court joined forces to rebel, they would not be a match for it.
But the real dragon disappeared, and left the dragon ball in the Dragon Palace, so that the big snake could transform into a Jiao. We will regard it as dead, whether it is or not, it all depends on whether the Jiaolong can really transform into a dragon in one fell swoop. "
Liang Qu nodded and silently digested the information thrown out by Su Guishan.
A bit supportive.
"As for your last question, the strength of the four pillars of the Demon Court..." Su Guishan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I want to know, why are you sure that the Northern Demon King came from the sea?"
Because it looks like a Dunkleosteus, which lives in the ocean.
Liang Qu complained.
"I guess. I was working on flood control in Huazhu County and accidentally encountered a subordinate of the Northern Demon King. He was heavily armored and had an iron mouth. At that time, I didn't think he was a water beast from the Jianghuai Lake."
Su Guishan was surprised: "You have seen the Northern Demon King's men in Huazhu County? Do you have a pen? Draw it for me."
Liang Qu went to the kitchen to get a charcoal pencil and drew a simple picture.
Su Guishan frowned.
"Really? The south is Toad's territory, and they are at odds with the Northern Demon King. Why would an Iron-armored Fish come to the south..."
Of course, he came to find me at the order of Jiaolong.
Liang Qu hurriedly said, "It can be said that there is a disagreement. They sent spies here specially! They are ready to attack Toad and eliminate the dissidents!"
"Elaborate work?"
Su Guishan fell into deep thought.
Liang Qu changed the subject.
"Uncle, you haven't finished talking yet. Are the Four Pillars of the Demon Court as Martial Saints?"
"Well, you guessed right. Among the four pillars of the Demon Court, the Northern Demon King did come from the sea and has been here for more than three hundred years. Not only him, but also the Jiaolong, which has been here even longer, for more than five hundred years. The Northeastern Demon Kings are all Sea Demon Kings.
Besides, the turtle in the west came from the Dongtian Lake in the middle reaches of the Huai River. The only true demon king born from the Jianghuai Lake is the toad in the south. "
Liang Qu was surprised.
Is the toad so authentic?
