Chapter 729 Blood Bodhi
Chapter 729 Blood Bodhi
Chenshi.
Thousands of taels of gold were scattered all over the river.
The altar at Shangraobu was built high, with six large cowhide drums arranged vertically. The straw rope of the straw raincoat used by the shaman to perform the drum dance had broken in half, with a few stalks sticking out, standing upright in the wind in a zigzag manner.
The news that Yixing Town was holding a river god festival spread quickly to the surrounding areas. Many outsiders did not even bother to repair their broken tile roofs, but paid a few copper coins and got on a cart to rush to the town.
Everyone in Yixing Town knows that Mr. Liang is righteous and generous.
Everyone who came was given sacrificial meat. Even if it was not much more than what the locals got, it was at least a food ration.
The roof can be repaired at any time. The worst that can happen is that you will be caught in the rain for one more day and miss the river god festival. You don’t know when you will be able to eat water animal meat next time.
The fat catfish, the unable to move, the fist, and hundreds of porpoises all headed for the deep waters, trying to find enough of the three sacrifices before noon.
Jianghuai Dragon Palace.
The giant snake swam busily, and various colorful precious fishes hit the round basket woven with vines.
Southern Region.
The huge green snake was crawling.
The old toad crouched beside the Toad King, dancing with joy.
The Jiaolong had really gone mad, actually using a decent water-attribute treasure to exchange for an ordinary treasure of mediocre quality!
Stupid bug!
It would be a waste if you don't take advantage of the opportunity provided by a fool.
"Not enough, not enough, raise it higher, raise it higher!"
The scales of the big green snake stood up, but when it saw the Frog King, it bargained honestly.
It's time.
The sun was rising higher and higher, and the red rope tied to the big stake was fluttering in the air. The people who were sharing the rations wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and they gradually felt a little hotter as they stood there.
"Brother Shui, the offerings are here. When should we offer the sacrifice? Still at noon?" Li Libo asked.
"No hurry." Liang Qu hadn't waited for the call yet, but he knew that Wu Sheng hadn't returned yet, so he took out some silver coins and said, "It's hot, send someone to make some mung bean soup and put more crushed ice in it."
Jianghuai Courtyard.
Precious light rises into the sky.
The Three Saints left the Dragon Palace, and the Yangtze River dolphins followed closely behind, pulling a large number of treasures.
At the same time, the Toad King fell back into the cave, and the fat catfish waved its fins to give a tip-off.
Liang Qu's expression changed.
"Libo, tell Mr. Chen that it will start at noon, just like in previous years."
"Okay! Noon!"
It's two o'clock in the morning.
"Never had water?"
In the treasure chest, twelve packages of elixir of good fortune were sparkling brightly.
King Bohai took a quick look and felt something was amiss.
There are twelve portions of the Great Creation Medicine. It might be fine if they came from other places, but there is not a single portion of water element coming from the Dragon Palace treasury?
Even if you are inland, you can’t eat fresh fish when you come to the river?
"Perhaps the Jiaolong King did this on purpose." King Su looked back to the east. "The white ape belongs to water, so I am worried that it will benefit from it."
King Bohai laughed: "The world is vast, so be careful. I think in twenty years, it is uncertain whether it will be the dragon or the monkey that dominates the Dragon Palace... Hmm? Lord Wen is interested in this blood bodhi? Is there something in the Hanging Temple that Lord Wen likes and wants to exchange it?"
Among the twelve portions of the Creation Medicine, there was a bright red blood fruit, bulging as if it was filled with blood.
Blood Bodhi!
It is said that this was born from the meditation of a great monk, and it is a holy product that condenses all his life's efforts and comprehends the great Dao, and is the most precious treasure of Buddhism.
How could there be a blood bodhi in the Dragon Palace?
Which eminent monk passed away in the Jianghuai Lake?
The King of Yue put down the blood fruit after thinking for a while: "It's not that I want it, but someone may need it."
"Which monk?"
"Living in seclusion in the city, it is impossible to speak."
Noon.
The sun gradually moved to the center.
Ripples suddenly appeared in the water tank and the water birds flapped their wings in panic.
Big drums were beating, and thrilling music rose into the sky. Three freshly-out-of-water beasts were dragged to the bank, stabbed with sharp knives, and their necks were cut to draw blood. A foul fishy smell filled the air.
"Officiant, OK!"
The priest shouted loudly.
The smoke and waves are vast and the clothes are fluttering.
Liang Qu looked at the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers as he climbed up the stairs. His gaze seemed to penetrate through layers of waves and reach the Dragon Palace.
Southwest junction.
The Yangtze River dolphin shivered.
The Turtle King and the Frog King gathered together and took their share of the treasure one by one.
Big Fat and Second Fat picked up the basket, with the fat catfish carrying the old toad on its back. They counted the number of precious fish inside, then used vines to string them together into a long strip and carried them on their backs.
However, at this moment, a sense of crisis like a needle prickled all over my body!
The big and second fat frogs tensed up, hugged the basket and looked around.
The water level in the east suddenly increased, the waves surged like mountains, and then a giant pillar reaching the sky rose visibly!
Boom boom boom!
The waves are surging and thunder and lightning are roaring.
The violent river wind blew away the waves, spreading them into water mist all over the river. Countless white vapors swirled along the surface of the river. Thousands of feet high water columns rose into the air, rolling up the clouds in the sky.
The porpoises hold each other head to tail to prevent them from being blown away.
The old toad lay on top of the fat catfish and held it tightly.
The Toad King held the anchor, and the Turtle King half-hid himself underwater, trying to hold back their breath so as not to let the dragon know where they were. It would be hard to fool the dragon if they were caught "dividing the spoils".
The Martial Saint of Dashun was also secretly on guard.
What happened? Did the dragon change his mind?
However, the power came and went quickly. The dragon released its pressure recklessly like a headless fly, roaring violently, sweeping across the swamp before returning to silence again.
boom!
The dragon swam into the water.
The pillar of heaven collapsed and fell crookedly onto the river surface.
The raging waves rolled in, but they were too far away, so only gentle ripples were left when they washed over.
The people and the animals looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Really crazy?"
The Toad King dropped the anchor and recalled the words of the old Toad.
Yixing Town.
Liang Qu is open-minded and refreshed.
[Sacrifice to Huaijiang River, river favor +1.7423]
[River Favor: 8.2361]
happy!
The closer he was to the swamp, even standing on the shore, he could still sense the dragon's faint hatred.
Put down the wine cup gently.
Roar!
The wind and clouds changed, the dragon roared, resounding between heaven and earth, and the water columns reached the sky and the earth!
boom!
The long wind howled.
The green smoke dissipated.
The long ritual robes flutter like flags, and the brocade waves surge!
The officials maintaining stability in the river and lake opened their mouths wide and encouraged the shamans to stiffen their limbs.
There was a moment of dead silence.
The old priest fell to his knees with a thud: "Yes! The Dragon King has responded!"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
The villagers of Yixing fell to their knees and kowtowed in worship.
"The river god has appeared again! The river god has sensed our gratitude!"
"River God, please protect my whole family!"
"Please ask the river god to give me a dragon girl as my wife!"
"Lord Liang is deeply favored by the river god!" The old priest burst into tears and raised his head to shout again.
The villagers were stunned at first, and then they agreed loudly.
That's right!
Ever since Liang Qu became the chief priest.
Yixing Town holds sacrifices every year in June, and the wonders are different every time, becoming more and more exaggerated each year.
It must be Liang Qu’s blessing on me!
Seeing the villagers so devout, Liang Qu secretly thought he had missed the opportunity.
The dragon had already done this, and the villagers' contribution would only be great.
pity.
Cause before effect.
"Be safe and sound."
With his clothes fluttering, Liang Qu looked up at the clear sky, watched the river building rise up, and waited for the river god to "call".
Dashun was at its peak, and Jiaolong invested in Daqian, but chose the wrong path from the beginning!
If you want to make a living in this world, you have to have power and background!
"Divide the meat!"
……
It is better to wait for the fruit to fall on its own than to pick it when it is half green or yellow.
evening.
He Bo's study.
Five portions of the Great Creation Medicine were lined up in a row.
Liang Qu's heart was pounding. As he smelled the fragrance in the air, he felt as if his internal organs were on fire. The scorching power of the medicine was rushing towards him like a high-temperature furnace.
"Choose one." said King Yue.
According to the old toad's calculations, there should have been twelve, but apparently, the remaining seven were taken by the Demon King and the Martial Saint. As the saying goes, you can choose any one of them. Liang Qu's priority is at the end of the many big guys.
"Teacher, I am not well educated. Do you have any suggestions?"
Ashamed to say it.
Liang Qu didn't recognize any of the five big treasures, and for some reason, he felt that none of them was of the water attribute.
Although it is a bit strange, it doesn't matter. Regardless of whether there is water or not, all of them must be replaced.
"Blood Bodhi," suggested the King of Yue.
"Blood Bodhi is the best?"
King Yue shook his head and said, "Blood Bodhi is not the best, but the Vajra King in your family is just one step away from success. Blood Bodhi may be able to help him."
