"Mr. Chen came into the room and said."

Liang Qu took a step back and made way.

"Aren't you in a hurry, sir?"

Chen Zhaoan looked up and down, feeling unsure.

Liang Qu had a long spear and a large bow slung across his back, and wore half-armored arm guards, looking like he was about to go out and fight with someone.

Can it really be delayed?

"I'm not in a hurry. I have half a month to deal with it. It's just right for you to come today, so you don't have to make a wasted trip. It's still in time for you to go tomorrow."

Having said this, Chen Zhaoan no longer wasted time refusing. He excused himself and walked in.

In the yard, Chen Xiu put down the feather duster and went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.

Chen Zhaoan took a closer look and said hesitantly, "Is this the daughter of Chen Dajun?"

"I don't know much about Chen Dajun, but her mother is Zhang Hongjuan. She came to me to ask for a job a few days ago."

Chen Zhaoan understood.

"That's right, she is from Chen Dajun's family. It is her blessing to work under Sir Liang."

Liang Qu smiled without much response, went to the hall, put down the Fu Bo and Yuan Mu bows, and led Chen Zhaoan to sit down.

Chen Zhaoan took the hot tea with his cane in hand but didn't drink it.
"Some time ago, several martial arts masters in this town sent people to ask me about the location of the sacrifice. According to past practices, there is no need to discuss it, as it has always been handled by our local Shangrao Port.

Moreover, the wharf was expanded once in the winter, and the place was large enough to accommodate local and non-local villagers.

It just so happened that this year, the Water God Temple was completed, located in the south of our town.

I have heard that many villagers are willing to move the river god worship to the temple, so I came here today to ask Lord Liang for his opinion.

If we want to change it, will it collide with other towns? Will the government agree to it..."

Chen Zhaoan did not ask Liang Qu whether he wanted to serve as the main priest.

After two years, it has become a consensus among the villagers of Yixing Town that Liang Qu will be the main priest of the River God Festival.

He himself is very enthusiastic and last year he went into the water and caught a three-headed water monster.

Liang Qu thought about it for a moment.

"No change."

"Still Shangraopu?"

"In Shangraopu, the prefect of the area would personally go to the temple to offer sacrifices and preach in spring and autumn every year.

Although June 6th is not a good date, this is the first year that the Water God Temple was completed. The situation is special, so it is probably not our turn."

"That's true."

Chen Zhaoan nodded.

When Liang Qu saw this reaction, he knew that the old man knew what was going on.

I have come here to discuss this, as I guess the villagers do have loud voices and ideas, so I have to sue them.

Besides, whether the prefect will come or not is a matter of speculation, no one knows for sure, so we need to find someone who can make the decision and set the tone.

"This year will be the same as in previous years. If we don't go, please ask the village elders to explain the reason to the villagers."

"It is my duty." Chen Zhaoan accepted it, "There is another one..."

"Liang Qing!"

A loud cry from behind the pond interrupted the words, the sound so melodious that it reminded people of summer frogs.

Chen Zhaoan raised his head: "Master Liang, this..."

"It's okay. I have a friend in the backyard. Mr. Chen, please continue."

Liang Qu's expression remained unchanged. He used the mental link to let Big Beaver go and greet them quickly, while he continued to sit in the hall and discuss with Chen Zhaoan.

Chen Zhaoan opened his mouth, didn't ask any more questions, and continued talking.

It’s not a big deal.

The main reason was that the population of the town increased again this year. Hearing that Liang Qu had been the presiding priest for two consecutive years and had a special status, many wealthy families catered to him and took the initiative to "support" him. The "activity funds" suddenly became much richer, and they discussed how to spend the money.

"If we have enough money, we can host a buffet, hire two kitchen helpers, kill two more pigs, and make the leftovers into sauerkraut noodles..."

Things were discussed and finalized one by one.

no problem.

Chen Zhaoan drank the tea, said goodbye and left.

Liang Qu asked the village elder to wait for a moment, took out a silver note for one hundred taels and five small ingots, and gave them to Chen Zhaoan.

"This year's River God Festival is of a very large scale. Mr. Chen needs to put in more effort and take good care of it. One hundred taels is my personal contribution, and the other ten taels are considered as hard work fees for the village elders..."

"No, no, I am also from Yixing, how can I..."

"Just accept it, village elder! I have something important to do, so there's no need to refuse! If you need anything, feel free to come find me. If I'm not here, leave a message for Xinglai, Chen Xiu and the others."

Only then did Chen Zhaoan accept the money and make a guarantee.

"Don't worry, Lord Liang. I have been organizing the River God Festival since I was fifty-six, and I have never made any mistakes!"

A few pleasantries.

Liang Qu watched Chen Zhaoan walk around the screen wall.

The chief priest of a sacrifice in one place cannot jump back and forth.

It’s appropriate this year, but not next year. Try again the year after.

Unless there is something really important and you need to temporarily replace someone, such as mourning, or there is a better choice, like Liang Qu, who emerges as a rising star and shows his brilliance, otherwise the villagers will think that you are insincere and will cause trouble.

But these reasons are not enough.

Before May, Liang Qu was still cautious about favor.

However, after spending half a night chatting with Su Guishan over a meal of crayfish a few days ago, Liang Qu had a clearer understanding of the situation of the dragon.

In one word, internal and external troubles.

Jiaolong is currently just the top seed candidate to become the Dragon King.

It’s hard to say whether it is stable or not.

Outside the water, Dashun wanted to support a dragon king who was close to him for safety reasons, and was ready to chop off any dragon king who showed his head. Inside the water, there were also many forces, and the big monsters were ready to make a move, hungry and thirsty.

Liang Qu attracted the attention of Jiao, and it was purely by accident that he was stabbed in the back and suffered a real wound.

Furthermore, if I steal the favor, will it delay the appearance of the Dragon Lord?
The news from Su Guishan, plus the news from Yuantou that several snake monsters did not cause any trouble, showed that they were quite "restrained".

Liang Qu felt that he could serve as the chief priest this year.

After finishing the matter of offering sacrifice to the river god, Liang Qu went to the pond again.

"Old Turtle!"

"Little frog!"

"Old Turtle!"

"Little frog!"

The sound of turtles and frogs is heard.

The old turtle and the old toad have been bickering for eternity.

When the old toad saw Liang Qu coming in, his eyes lit up.

"Liang Qing!"

"Frog!"

The old turtle sneered.

The old toad ignored the old turtle and climbed up the boulder: "I have brought you something good today!"

"nice one?"

Liang Qu looked up and down, and found that the old toad had nothing on him, not even the yellow leather bag.

The old turtle laughed even louder: "You old stingy guy, your pockets are cleaner than a licked bowl, what good stuff can you bring?"

The old toad was furious: "I brought news about the Grandmaster's treasure!"

Grandmaster's treasure?

The old turtle was stunned, and Liang Qu's eyes flashed.

Seeing the silence in the room, the old toad proudly held out his five fingers and said, "As long as Liang Qing expands the pond to 500 mu and plants lotus flowers in it, I will tell you the whereabouts of the Grandmaster's treasure..."

"The Grandmaster's treasure that Frog mentioned, could it be the Heavenly Water Long Qi, which is one thousand six hundred and fifty to one thousand seven hundred miles east of the south in the direction of the Great King?"

The old toad was speechless and took a step back as if he had been electrocuted, revealing his surging white belly.

"You! How did you know?"

"Shou Ye told me. The day before yesterday, Shou Ye was traveling in the Great Lake and was touched. He told me this news."

Who, me?
When Wu Cangshou first heard about the Grandmaster's treasure, he became even more confused. But when he saw the old toad turning around in disbelief, he stretched out his neck with a look of arrogance on his face.

"Yes, it's me! I was swimming in the Great Lake the other day, and I felt something!"

The old toad was shocked.

I thought I was the only frog in the lake and could get the news more than half a month in advance.

The black tortoise can actually do that?

The plan to sell another copy of the news was aborted.

The old toad found it hard to accept and covered his aching heart. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he straightened his back.

"Then do you know how to subdue that energy? I know! You just need to expand thirty acres..."

"Use ice! Ice that's more than two hundred years old, three hundred years is best!"

Liang Qu bowed.

Pfft!
The old toad opened his arms, looked up and fell into the pond, splashing water.

An unprecedented sense of crisis is coming.

Wu Cangshou laughed wildly and amused himself so much that his two front legs rose and fell alternately.

I don't understand it at all, but I'll watch the show!
a long time.

The old toad climbed up the boulder in a daze, with a lotus leaf on its head. Its skin drooped all over and small trickles dripped from the edges of the lotus leaf.

Frustrated~
Liang Qu strikes while the iron is hot.

"Mr. Frog, I have recently gained some new connections and plan to expand the frog pond by another three mu.

However, the officials of the imperial court were corrupt and demanded bribes, and Pingyang County became Pingyang Prefecture, so the land price went up. Although the officials agreed, they asked for a price so high that one acre of land would require three precious fishes to develop! "

The old toad felt shot in the heart and lost interest.

"Let's talk about the frog pond later..."

"Frog!"

Liang Qu spoke righteously,
"I once said that Pingyang County would become Pingyang Prefecture. Isn't it coming true now?"

The old turtle said: "Not bad!"

"The shore is surrounded by a large lake, and all forces that can be united have been united. We have just opened up a two-acre pond, and have already attracted two masters. Isn't this a great help?"

"The enemy!"

"Frog, don't be satisfied with just one lotus and stop moving forward! Now that we have a return, doesn't it prove that there is a lot of potential in developing ponds on land? Now is the time to increase investment and buy in large quantities!"

"That's right, we need to increase investment!"

The old giant clam also spoke up: "Great!"

By the pond, the big beaver who was building the boat picked up a wooden board and chewed out the seven big words "No pain, no gain".

The otter raised its arms high and chirped.

If you can't move, bite off the lotus stem and give a lotus bud as a gift.

For a moment, a faint fragrance came.

In all directions, in the sky and on the ground, lotus flowers were reflected!
When I opened it, three big words popped out!

Go, go, go!
The old toad let out a strange cry and fell down on the rock.

"I vote!"
