Chapter 434: No Money Spent, News Brings to Zhang Family
Chapter 434: Take the news home without spending a penny
After getting the key information, the dragon people exchanged a few pleasantries.
The fat catfish pretended nothing had happened, turned around, swung its tail, and staggered away, neither hurried nor slow, demonstrating its confidence.
On the occasion of parting.
The dragon leader, Long Zongyin, bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"Elder Frog is favored by heaven and earth, and has great fortune and luck. Everything goes smoothly for him, which is enviable. However, I hope you will not tell the news of Shuize Changqi today to the human or demon races."
Shhhhhhh~
The old toad looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle.
Long Zongyin sighed, waved his hand, and handed over another large wooden box.
"Elder Frog, our clan is in dire straits. Now that the Dragon King has disappeared, it will be extremely difficult to break through.
There are only a few who have hope of promotion. Any grandmaster who appears will be of great help. A wisp of water energy is crucial!
The Frog Tribe and the Dragon Tribe have always been on good terms, and they should have helped each other and fought against the long snake together..."
When the old toad heard this, he straightened his back, became serious for a rare time, nodded solemnly, and picked up the four large boxes.
"Guard Dragon, rest assured. If someone else offers no more than twice your price, I won't sell it to you again!"
puff!
Long Zongyin was shot in the heart, and his chest was blocked by blood.
After thinking for a while, the old toad added.
"It's twice the hush money."
puff!puff!puff!
A sincere heart turns into a hedgehog.
Long Zongyin stared at the wooden box on top, wanting to take back the "hush money" and let the old toad sell it however he wanted. After thinking for a long time, he finally gave up and bowed to express his gratitude.
"Frog Elder... Gao Yi!"
"Dragon Guard Gao Yi!"
The old toad shouted, hugged the box, and couldn't wait to carry it back to the cave.
Harvest!
Harvest!
Guaguagua!
The white sturgeon shook his body and used the shuttle to scratch his itch.
Long Zongyin watched the chubby figure disappear as the orange light in the water dissipated and was covered by a layer of darkness.
"Binglin! Tingrui! Eying!"
Three young dragon men stepped forward in response.
"There are many tiger hunters in the clan, but only the three of you have the hope of advancing to the realm of perfection in your bloodline. Did you see them all today? It's not easy to do so for just one wisp of long breath..."
As night fell, shadows fell over the faces of the three dragon men.
There was no joy at all from getting the chance to become a Grandmaster, only a heavy pressure welling up in his heart.
Long Zongyin stopped there.
"Let's go back and gather our tribesmen, and find a way to get as much old ice as possible that is over 200 years old.
Binglin, Tingrui, the two of you stay here and go to the place Elder Frog mentioned to investigate the situation.
E Ying, go and count the young dragons in the tribe who are above the level of wolf smoke. Elder Frog said there may be a strange phenomenon in the sky and earth, so don't miss the opportunity."
"Yes!"
The dragons received the order, lay down in the shuttle one by one and closed the shuttle cover.
The white sturgeon swung its tail and sprinted, splitting into two groups, turning into sharp arrows and disappearing into the night.
Valley.
The fat catfish in the grass was transmitting the precious information, which the dragon people had paid a huge price to, to Liang Qu in Pingyang Prefecture through the mental link.
Night falls.
Green light flows.
Liang Qu sat at the bottom of the pond, accepting the news brought by the fat catfish, with an excited look on his face.
What a fucking surprise!
It doesn’t cost a penny, and you can bring the message home!
The morning dew is invisible and intangible, but if you eat it you will turn into an elephant!
The words of Big Fat and Second Fat in the mouth of the fat catfish are very abstract, but it does not hinder understanding. Combined with the reaction of the dragon man...
The old toad could actually sense the whereabouts of a wisp of naturally generated long air between heaven and earth!
Liang Qu is still far from being a master, but the need for long-lasting energy to be promoted is no less.
It’s not a rigid need, but it’s a flexible need! The more the better!
Aren’t good things hidden from your own people?
But how did the old toad sense it half a month in advance?
Is the Duobao Toad so scary?
Liang Qu pushed aside the lotus leaf, floated to the surface, and asked the old giant clam why a natural species could have the ability to find treasure.
The old giant clam was quite surprised. It shook its shell and turned its direction to point to the old turtle on the other side of the pond, indicating why it didn't ask the turtle in question.
Oh yes.
The good luck and fortune of the old giant clam is a metaphor, and it is hard to tell whether it is true or not. The old toad and the old turtle are the real different species.
Liang Qu turned his head.
"Shou Ye!"
Wu Cangshou bathed in the moonlight, turned around slowly, stretched his head, showed a proud look, and did not keep anyone in suspense.
"There are two kinds. One is when cattle and horses raise their heads, chickens and dogs make noises, which is a sign of earthquake.
The second is that the Qi is pulling us in from nowhere, like when I met Guishan. I didn’t feel anything at first, but after a dozen years, Guishan achieved perfection and was able to protect me, and then I became aware of it.”
Liang Qu chewed it over and realized that the first half of the old turtle's sentence was about the earthquake.
When an earthquake comes, cattle and horses become restless, and chickens and dogs become uneasy.
After a brief analogy, Liang Qu immediately understood.
That's it!
The birth of a supreme treasure is like an earthquake to the lucky ones, and it can “predict the future”!
The old toad is truly favored by heaven and earth!
"Shou Ye, have you been in the water recently?"
"I just had a nice swim in the lake this afternoon."
"You didn't feel anything?"
Wu Cangshou was stunned: "Feeling? What should I feel? Um... the water temperature has become warmer?"
"No, I just want to know if there are any good things in the big lake recently that attract Shou Ye's attention."
Wu Cangshou said angrily: "Boy, it's not easy to come across good things."
Su Guishan was right, the Fu Lu Black Turtle was far inferior to the Duo Bao Toad.
indeed.
According to the old turtle, it was a blessing that it was brought out of Sugui Mountain and received the protection of the master.
But that old toad...
Liang Qu asked again: "Master Shou, when the demon race cultivates and enters the realm of great demon, do they not need to consume qi like humans?"
The old toad seemed to be indifferent to Changqi's behavior.
It seems that it is not just because of the trouble of collection.
“No need is not appropriate, it should be said, not so necessary.
Your human race's method of practicing cultivation and eating qi is good, and there are endless kinds of magical powers, but the process is too complicated.
Looking for air, grabbing air, eating air...the demon race, the demon race, it sounds like they are a different group from you humans.
In fact, snakes are snakes, and turtles are turtles. When broken down into smaller details, they do not have the huge foundation of you humans. Even if they did, they could not have the same innate wisdom and communication as you humans.
Therefore, most demons practice alone, and occasionally have subordinates, but only a few dozen or a hundred. It is too difficult to ask them to eat air, collect materials, and search everywhere, so they have to use the ancient method to draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to wash themselves. "
"Drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to flush it? Isn't it the same as refining our true energy?"
"good."
Liang Qu lifted his chin and asked, "Which of the two methods is better?"
The old turtle complained: "Humans are also beasts in nature, and can practice the ancient methods of the demon race. Do you think anyone practices it? Instead, they often use the true energy to carry on, which is the best of both worlds." "Why?"
"Have you ever heard what 'Ben' said about martial arts?"
Liang Qu nodded.
Senior Brother Hu Qi said this a long time ago.
Martial arts cultivate the "roots".
The stronger your own "essence" is, the weaker the outside world is.
When the gap is wide enough, it will naturally not be afraid of being cut by a knife or an axe.
"The martial arts you humans practice are to strengthen your own 'essence' and to differentiate between 'I' and 'it'. The stronger the differentiation, the stronger the destruction, and the same is true for defense.
The ancient method of the demon clan is just the opposite. It is to be in harmony with the rhythm of heaven and earth. The more the rhythm is in harmony, the greater the power will be with every move.
If we have to distinguish between advantages and disadvantages, the former is highly adaptable and has many means, while the latter is highly home-based and powerful.
You humans are not good at water battles, not only because you are born with land beasts and are inferior to water beasts, but also because of the difference in cultivation.
In addition, the practice of Zhengang is actually a wonderful idea and magical power. While you humans are practicing, you can also use your own "essence" as the foundation and your will as the bridge to move the heaven and earth and receive inspiration. Although it is not as exaggerated as the demon race, it is an excellent means of making up for it.
On the other hand, the demon race imitates humans and learns martial arts, also to make up for it, but it is far less systematic and efficient than you humans, and you can even integrate the means of compensation into a part of your realm. Later generations can break through step by step, and they can all learn without a teacher. "
Liang Qu benefited a lot.
The old turtle's explanation goes further than the master's.
Roughly speaking, one is from the inside out and the other is from the outside in.
In ancient times, humans also went from the outside to the inside, but in the process of continuous innovation, they invented a method from the inside to the outside, a path that is completely opposite to the ancient method.
In terms of survival of the fittest, it is obviously extremely successful.
Say thank you.
Liangqu connects the middle channel to communicate the fat catfish and let it come back.
Although we did not find out the bottom of the old toad this time, the gains this time were much greater than simply exploring the bottom.
Unexpectedly, the fat catfish suggested staying for a while longer.
Not only for the unfinished bottom exploration mission, the fat catfish discovered today that Big Brother Toad would go out hunting from time to time and bring good things back to the frog tribe!
It wants to stay in the frog tribe to further its studies!
Eat fast!
it is good!
Liang Qu expressed his support for Ah Fei's idea of further study and encouraged it to surpass Yuantou, unable to move, and become the first top monster among water beasts!
Early the next morning.
Liang Qu ran to Tianbo Chamber of Commerce to inquire about old ice that was more than three hundred years old.
Preparation is the key to success, while lack of preparation leads to failure. The old toad is definitely not the only one who has the ability to find treasure in the swamp. As far as he knows, the black tortoise also has the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm. Perhaps it is just a matter of distance.
Be prepared, grab both hands and make sure they are strong.
We can wait and see what happens then. If they really want to take it out, there will be clues to follow.
The Tianbo Chamber of Commerce claims to have everything. The Chamber of Commerce manager said that they have the goods, but they need them within ten days. In order to guarantee the time, Liang Qu added an extra 1,200 taels of profit and pressed it to five days.
Also.
Yuantou sent a message back saying everything was fine.
After asking around, I lurked.
It confirmed that the later giant snakes did not cause trouble like the previous snake demons.
No one in Xiangyi County even realized that several snake monsters had come to the shallow water.
The pressure brought by the dragon was greatly reduced.
I am not afraid of those who are not afraid of things.
Liang Qu felt relieved and, as invited, attended the two dinners and had some dealings with the "dragon from across the river".
The atmosphere is quite harmonious.
On the fourth day, Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe brought a precious fish back to the pond hut and said goodbye to Liang Qu, saying that the two brothers would be away for a while and were being recalled by the clan, but they did not know the specific details.
With the information in hand, Liang Qu had a clear vision and readily agreed.
The natural energy of heaven and earth condenses, and may be accompanied by strange phenomena.
The Dragon Clan must want to recall the best players to see if there is a chance for their members to condense their true energy. It would be best if they could become prime ministers.
However, there were too many people and too many eyes, so the Dragon People mostly did not tell the details in order to keep the news confidential.
……
The sporadic chirping of cicadas in the treetops announced the arrival of summer.
Today is the sixth day that Liang Qu has been receiving special training from Yang Dongxiong. With the combined efforts of the dragon and the evil spirit of the dragon, the Taiqing Dragon Gang has become visibly thicker and longer. It was originally ten feet high, but now it is twelve feet high!
A lot more powerful.
Staying inside, it feels like being wrapped in a shield of vitality, with a full sense of security.
Yang Dongxiong dissipated the Demon-Subduing Sword and became aware of Liang Qu's behavior in recent days.
"You seem happy?"
Liang Qu took the towel and wiped his face and sweat: "Master, you will know in two days."
Yang Dongxiong thought for a moment and asked, "Did we find treasure underwater again?"
"Probably. I'm still not sure."
A moment of silence.
"Caution comes first."
"Disciple, don't worry."
in the afternoon.
The Chamber of Commerce manager brought ice cubes and placed them in a large wooden box, half a person's height, light blue in color, and emitting thick white steam.
"Is this three hundred year old ice?"
"That's right, Lord Liang, you don't know that the longer the ice is frozen, the fewer bubbles there are inside, the harder and denser it is, and the closer its color is to dark blue. So whether the ice is old or not depends entirely on its color. This piece of ice is between three hundred and four hundred years old."
Liang Qu nodded: "How much?"
"You used the expedited method, so the total cost is 1,800 taels."
Liang Qu was stunned.
Not expensive, but cheap.
The biggest part of it was even the more than 1,000 taels of silver he paid for his expedited journey.
"Master Liang, it's just some old ice from the top of the mountain. Some are thousands or tens of thousands of years old. They are bright blue, but it takes a lot of effort to send someone to get them. They are not valuable in themselves."
"Indeed."
Liang Qu paid readily.
Two thousand taels, sprinkle some water.
After getting the ice, everything was ready, but Liang Qu was not in a hurry to take it with him. He wanted to go to the destination to explore first.
One thousand six hundred to one thousand seven hundred miles, go to Toad first and then turn around, the route is shorter.
Liang Qu packed his bag, carried Fu Bo on his back and started to leave, just in time to bump into Chen Zhaoan who was coming towards the door.
"Mr. Chen? What do you want to talk to me about?"
Chen Zhaoan saw that Liang Qu was in a hurry and spoke quickly.
"I came here today to discuss with Sir Liang how to organize this year's River God Festival. After all, there is the Water God Temple, which is quite close. But it doesn't matter, there is still a month. Sir Liang can be busy first, and I will come tomorrow."
bad!
I forgot about this.
It’s June 6th again soon!
