Chapter 742: 8 Feet Not Grow in Vain
Chapter 742: Eight Legs Not Grow in Vain
The Bing Fire has just passed, and the dog days have not yet gone away.
The Jianghuai Lake was sweltering with heat, and the sparkling waves seemed to contain a rolling fireball, and the entire shallow water area was warm and scalding under the sun.
Young men in their teens ignored the danger, pushed aside the reeds and jumped into the white light, diving to cool off, and asked their elders to drag them home by the ears. Only a few people who had nothing to do were left, but they were soon driven ashore by the officials of the river and lake office in small boats.
In the flickering golden light, a long team swam closer, as if a piece of cloth was floating over, covering the ripples.
The villagers in the teahouse stood up one after another, walked out of the shadows and shielded their eyes from the light with their hands.
"Hey, blue octopus, here you are again! Weird, it's only been a month, how come you're back so soon? Didn't the clerk from the Hebo Office say he would come once every six months?"
"In winter, we go east. In summer, we go west. We have definitely gone upstream. Now we have to go back."
"Damn, Octopus' voice is so fucking sweet, even better than Miss Chunhua in the mansion. When I went back home that night, I found my pants were wet when I woke up in the morning!"
Ok?
Everyone looked sideways slightly and left an empty circle.
For a moment, he stopped talking.
As if realizing that he had let something slip, the person who was speaking quickly changed the subject: "I wonder what level of strength this monster has. If it starts causing trouble, can our Lord Liang defeat it?"
"Yes, of course we can. Even if Master Liang can't do it, don't we still have Master Liang? Two of us can do it."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense." Liang Qu moved a stool and walked into the tea stall and sat down.
"Mr. Liang! Why are you here?"
People gathered around and talked a lot.
"The merchant is back. How can I, a clerk, not come and see him? Old Li, please stop blocking the way ahead. It's hot, and the air is blocked!"
Liang Qu waved his hand, put his finger on the edge of the bowl, and poured himself a cup of cold tea to quench his thirst. The crowd immediately split into two sides, leaving space for the river breeze to blow in.
The tea shop owner ran over and replaced the pot with a new one: "Mr. Liang, they have been arguing for a long time. Why don't you tell me in person whether you can control that fish woman?"
"Yeah, tell me about it."
The crowd booed.
Liang Qu put down the teacup and spoke in a calm tone.
"Can't beat it."
"Hiss, what about your master?"
"Same."
"Strange, so powerful?"
The villagers were shocked.
I didn’t expect the octopus to be so powerful that even Master Liang couldn’t cure it!
The eight hands are not grown in vain.
"You heard everything, right? Next time you brag, don't bring me along, or I'll get you into trouble someday."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The villagers laughed.
A bunch of bragging and farting.
Start by talking about whether the octopus comes from the Jianghuai Lake, whether it eats people, whether it has a husband, and then talk about which is bigger, the sea or the Jianghuai Lake, and whether more fish can be caught.
Liang Qu saw that the number of people in front of Hai Fangzhu was gradually decreasing, so he left after leaving two copper coins.
The people of Yixing were still reminiscing about their fantasy of the so-called sea when suddenly someone spoke.
"Boss, where is the tea that Mr. Liang invited? Why don't you serve it?"
"What are you talking about? You old bachelor, you are hysterical. Which ear did you hear Mr. Liang invite you for tea just now?"
The villagers recalled carefully.
It seems that this is not the case.
strangeness.
"Why didn't Mr. Liang invite you for tea today?"
"Maybe you forgot?"
In front of the government office.
Officials from all levels of Pingyanghebo received the guests as usual.
The maritime merchants obtained supplies from Pengze and naturally sought trade with the imperial court again, while continuing to "retail" at the same time.
With less than ten days to go before the auction, the masters who were scheduled to come were basically all in place, and business was even more lively than before they left.
Therefore, not only the local villagers, but also many young men and martial artists from other places who came with their elders saw the huge water monster for the first time. They were very curious and took the excuse of buying things to get closer to take a look.
Several young men picked up some jewels from the water, and glanced at the Umibozu in the center from time to time.
"This Umibozu's voice is quite soft. Octopuses, aren't they all translucent sky blue?"
"No, didn't you see that the one selling jewelry before was brown? If she is sky blue, she must be a beauty among the sea people."
"Brother, you are really hysterical."
"Hey, hey, hey, someone is approaching! So brave, hiss, he's rolled up! Could it be that the sea monster wants to eat people? Wait, why are there so many treasure fish stuffed in there? Who is this?"
Inside the river bank.
Liang Qu let the cool, translucent blue tentacles wrap around him and successfully received his treasure fish meal. He inserted several fingers into the fish's gill covers, but suddenly he couldn't hold on. Two red lions weighing 20 kilograms, a silver dragon weighing 12 kilograms, and a blood lion weighing 8.6 jin!
There are four in total, and a rough estimate shows that the essence of nearly 40,000 yuan has been collected!
It sounds quite standard, and compared to the old turtle, its size is not too big. However, it should be noted that this is only the first batch, and there is no reward for the effort. In addition, two large waves have been introduced in succession, and the rewards are visible to the naked eye. In the future, if sea merchants pass by three times a year, I am afraid they will get rewards every time.
Haifangzhu patted Liangqu's head and said, "Wait until General Yuan's treasures are harvested, and then reward Xiaoshui!"
readily!
Liang Qu said that he just wanted to help Hai Fangzhu and didn't care about the reward at all, and his face was covered with cold joy.
It's quite refreshing.
half an hour.
Liang Qu pushed away the touch and talked about business.
"Master, I wonder where June's long and auspicious energy comes from?"
Umibozu stretched out his tentacles and said, "Lord Su of the River Bank has also asked about this, but I don't know. This is a collection that the king collected from a sea scorpion many years ago. It is said to bring good luck. It has been kept for more than ten years. It has never been seen before or since."
More than ten years?
The difficulty of obtaining it has increased again...
Most likely, just like a dead tree coming back to life in spring, it needs to go through some very coincidental changes in its properties.
Liang Qu thought silently.
If you could be so happy and confident, life would be so much more convenient.
Yesterday's "immobility" did not mean that he could not get into the pond. The old toad had a dozen times more territory. The entire Roundhead tribe could live in the house, and he also had the Ruyi Fubo Gun...
Imagine a better life.
Before I knew it, the coldness came back to me.
evening.
The river bank is orange-red.
Liang Qu wiped the water stains off his face, waved goodbye to Hai Fangzhu and went home. He ate the last lotus seeds in the house and stewed two red lions in succession.
[Water Essence: 417,000]
Blue light surges and the four airs flow.
Unprecedented wealth!
The hot essence surges in my stomach.
The journey is difficult and there are many forks in the road.
After practicing to the level of a great martial artist, he gradually felt the difficulty of advancement, but even so, the barriers that blocked him were loosened a little.
Quiet room.
Liang Qu practiced "Wansheng Baoyuan" to adjust his state, capturing the insights and inspirations of recent days in his mind, and exploring his qi and blood with his spirit for further integration.
Thoughts moved slightly.
Wow.
The tide dropped sharply.
A full 280,000 of water essence poured into Ze Ling.
A sturdy white ape suddenly appeared behind him. On its broad and sturdy back, countless white hairs fell off and new, sparkling silver hairs grew out.
[Dingzhu: Liang Qu]
[Refine Ze Ling: Water King Ape (Purple) (Fusion Degree: 36‰↑)]
The degree of fusion slowly but steadily increased.
It was a windfall, but Liang Qu had plans for his essence. He first allocated 280,000 to himself, and raised the degree of fusion to 50/1000 and 5%. After the long-term matters were settled, those that should be transformed into spirit fish would be transformed into spirit fish, and the remaining ones would be used to evolve water beasts.
midnight.
The dragon is dormant inside the body.
One is shining with golden light, the other two are just outlined with lines, and now the second one is gradually becoming more solid with flesh and blood.
"I can bury the second magical power seed soon."
Liang Qu clenched his fists, feeling excited.
In the blink of an eye, the second building was built from scratch and three floors were constructed, and the progress was more than half completed.
Communicate with Ze Ding.
