Chapter 634: 1 Attack 1 Defense
Chapter 634: One Attack and One Defense
The next morning.
There are jagged rocks and surging clouds and mist.
The broom swept away the gravel and grass clippings, raising a light dust.
Xu Zishuai spread out the mat, lit the fire to boil tea, and when the water boiled, he diligently offered it to his master and his wife.
"Look over there, look over there. Doesn't the big rock in front look like a monk sitting cross-legged?"
"The mountain below looks like the leopard we saw when we were climbing up the mountain."
Long Yao and Long Li sat on the edge of the cliff, holding Long Eying's hands and talking non-stop.
Liang Qu thanked his senior brother for the hot tea, sat cross-legged and looked at the water and sky merging into one color, and then watched the sunrise.
The only difference is that the location was changed from Wulao Peak to Hanpengkou, and from "two people" to a group of people, and their mental states were completely different.
The two sun-viewing spots each have their own characteristics.
In front of Wulao Peak is an open cliff valley between mountains, half mountain and half water, with endless scenery. The sunrise view from Hanpengkou is wider than that from Wulao Peak. You can overlook Pengze Lake and Wulao Peak in the distance, which is worthy of the name "Wangze Pavilion".
"call!"
The mist is curling and the fragrance of tea is everywhere.
The mind is extremely clear.
The trip to Mount Lushan was wonderful and enjoyable.
There is no one to urge me, no things to do, and no financial pressure, so I don’t have to worry about the calculations.
A private courtyard with free food and accommodation.
If you get tired of vegetarian food, let Ota go to the stream to catch two big fat fish and a wild rabbit, pour hot oil on them and make a delicious dish.
The word "success" is beyond words.
The sun rose above the water, warm like a boiled egg.
"Ashui, let's go."
Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin watched the sunrise and turned back to wave.
"coming!"
Farewell to Master and his wife.
Before leaving.
Yang Dongxiong called out and took out a small wooden plaque the size of a palm. It had a hard texture, fine grain, and silver light flowed on both sides.
"Master, what is this?"
"The Demon Subduing Sword Formation has 108 sword marks hidden inside it, which can last for one and a half months. If you don't encounter a master above the Grandmaster level, it should be enough for you to deal with. I wanted to make all of them, one for each of you. Since you are leaving in a hurry, I will naturally give them to you first."
"Thank you Master!"
Liang Qu was very happy.
The old monk's wooden sign focuses on defense, while the master's wooden sign focuses on offense.
One attack and one defense.
wonderful!
Great!
Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin came up eagerly, calling him Uncle Yang one by one.
"How could the young master of the Marquis's family be without any means of self-defense?"
"The Grandmaster's magical power can only last for one to two months. We have been away from home for a long time. Our family can't send us gifts every month. Besides, not all magical powers can be engraved."
"Well, there are only a few."
Yang Dongxiong laughed and took out two more dollars.
All are happy.
……
On the banks of the Bashui River.
Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin changed into official uniforms, got off the boat with documents, and went to the government office to interrogate Zhao Hongyuan's entire family.
Liang Qu asked Long Binglin to pass on the message to the mermaid tribe and rush to the port in the evening, and then he returned to Xu's house.
At the gate of Xu's compound, vendors were coming and going, shouting their wares non-stop.
Under the green cloth umbrella.
Liang Qu unexpectedly meets an old acquaintance.
There was a ruckus.
Guan Congjian held a large basin and devoured the pig's blood with great concentration, with three large empty bowls placed beside him.
The shop doesn't sell anything else but simple fresh pig blood soup, with sesame oil, salt, soy sauce, dried chili powder, a handful of chopped green onions, and a spoonful of fresh soup. The way it's eaten really increases your appetite.
"Shopkeeper, give me a bowl, and make it more spicy!"
"okay!"
Liang Qu sat opposite and took out his chopsticks.
Guan Congjian raised his head: "Master?" Liang Qu took out a handkerchief and wiped the chopsticks clean: "Did you pass the Wooden Man Formation and the Bronze Man Alley? When did you come back? I remember that after passing the two levels, you still need to practice for three months. Didn't you pass them?"
Guan Congjian left after the Grand Hunting Conference. It is now late November, not counting the round trip, so it has only been a month.
"It's the Wooden Man Alley and the Eighteen Bronze Man Formation." Guan Congjian swallowed a piece of pig blood and corrected himself, looking pleased. "I could crawl when I was born and could run when I was three months old. How could I not have made it? Now I am qualified to pass on my skills to my disciples!"
"Then why are you back now?"
"Originally, I had agreed to practice for a hundred days, until January next year, but my master told me about Vajra King, and the abbot of the Hanging Temple made an exception and allowed me to practice for the full twenty days, assign homework, and return to Pingyang Prefecture to report to my master regularly, so I returned to Huangzhou yesterday morning.
Oh, yes, the abbot of the Hanging Temple wants to see you. I guess everyone is curious about what the master's disciple looks like. Where is Grandmaster Yang? I heard from the Xu family that you and Grandmaster Yang went to visit Mount Lushan, but didn't come back together? "
Guan Congjian poked his head in.
"Sir, you have been waiting for a long time."
The store owner brought a big bowl of pig blood soup, which was very fragrant.
"I have something to deal with and I need to hurry up. My master is still in Wanshan Temple in Lushan. I'll go to the Hanging Temple when I have a chance. I can't spare the time for now."
Liang Qu took a bite of the pig's blood, which was as tender as tofu. He exhaled a breath of hot air and told about his experience a few days ago.
"That's a good relationship, they can fight!"
Guan Congjian's eyes lit up. When faced with a big battle, the Hebo Police Station and the Demon Hunting Bureau always acted together.
We all work together to tackle the tough problem and share the credit.
Liang Qu asked back: "Where is your master?"
"You're taking a nap at home, right? There's nothing fun in the Hanging Temple. There are only bald monks there, and the food is light. I came out with Lichan for a walk, and we got hungry halfway through the walk, so we sat down to have a bite."
The voice just fell.
Zong Lichan walked out of a shop a hundred steps away.
Simple greetings.
The three of them sat on each side of the square table.
"Do you want to go back to Pingyang Prefecture with me?"
Guan Congjian thought about it and shook his head.
"Don't worry, my master is waiting to see your master. If your master doesn't leave, my master won't leave either."
"Then you and Lichan can go directly to Wanshan Temple in Lushan Mountain and have fun together. It will be more lively with more people."
Xu only goes back to her parents' home once every few years, so she definitely won't be back so soon, at least until December.
What's more, the matter of the mermaid silk requires Xu's help.
All the marketing methods have been given to others, and Liang Qu doesn't want to get involved.
There are too many things to pay attention to between the method and the specific implementation, and it takes too much time to get involved.
"Okay, I'm just worried about having nothing to do!"
Finished drinking the pig blood soup.
Liang Qu entered the house, said goodbye to Xu Rongguang and his wife, and then went to tell the Xu family's steward to rush to the pier to look after the mermaid.
Everything is arranged properly.
……
Baoqing Wharf.
The white sturgeon and the finless porpoise swing their fins, each carrying a heavy load.
Hundreds of young mermaids were so excited that they flapped their transparent fins continuously, causing many bubbles to appear on the water surface, like hot water with small bubbles before boiling.
A moment of effort.
The news of the appearance of a large number of mermaids spread throughout the port like wildfire, attracting a crowd of curious people to watch.
Whether you are a farmer or a fisherman, winter is a time of leisure.
It's a rare relaxing time of the year, and every household brings their children out to join in the fun.
The mermaid of Daze!
I don't know how many years I haven't seen it. It almost only exists in story books and the boasting of drunken village old men.
Most of the common people looked at it out of curiosity, while some of the captains licked their lips with fierce looks in their eyes.
Mermaids are rare.
However, mermaid tears are occasionally circulated in the market, and one is worth more than a few thousand taels.
It is rumored that mermaids’ eyes contain mermaid tears, which can be obtained by peeling them open.
How much do ordinary farmers spend in a year?
If you catch one, you will become rich and never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life. It’s more than enough to support two martial arts masters’ descendants!
Therefore, even with the intimidation of the tall dragon men, the captains still circled in the sky like carrion vultures, unwilling to leave.
The young mermaid gradually realized that something was wrong and stopped talking.
"What are you all doing gathering around here?"
The Xu family's chief steward walked out from the dispersed crowd and shouted harshly.
Wow!
The captains of the ship scattered like birds and beasts.
