Chapter 891: Snake Clan’s Lair
Chapter 891: Snake Clan’s Lair
Northern Territory.
The fat catfish successfully infiltrated the five-fish team of porcupinefish and marched towards the Dragon Palace in the courtyard in a mighty manner.
Southern Region.
The land of the frog tribe.
Freezing rain fell from the sky, and the Victoria lily leaves swayed on the water surface. Rain water splashed down, and the scattered water foam was hazy. Transparent water droplets rolled along the veins of the leaves, mixed with the air, and merged into a white stream.
The big frogs were busy, stepping to the edge of the lotus leaves, pressing out layers of ripples.
"Bury two more on the east side."
"If it's not broken into pieces, break it again. There can't be any lumps left."
"Two jumps are enough. Three jumps are too tight and there's no air flow."
Big Fat and Second Fat held up the lotus leaves with their claws and directed the frogs to loosen the soil and make compost. They crushed the leftover fish bones and fish residue and buried them in the lotus fields.
The giant royal water lilies they cultivate absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon. They bloom only once every few decades and produce 1,800 seeds each time. Counting the days, it will be either next summer or the summer after, and then they will be able to have a delicious meal again. It is a matter of harvest, so they cannot be careless.
Wow.
The old toad kicked the water, pushed open the corners of the lotus leaf, and raised its head to spit out a water arrow.
Er Pang was quick to move and stretched out his arms to shield the old toad from the rain. "Elder, why are you here? What do you want me to do?"
The old toad ignored Erpang, turned over and climbed onto the lotus leaf, put his paws on his back, stuck out his white belly, and looked into the infinite distance.
"got windy."
The wind creates ripples, without saying a word.
Just this scene alone really has a Taoist and immortal feel.
got windy?
Erpang touched his belly, not knowing what was going on. He put down the lotus leaf, and a cool breeze blew on his body, feeling icy cold.
"It's freezing rain today, it's a bit windy and a bit chilly. Elder, do you want to sleep on the king's firebird skin? I'll go get it."
"Stupid! Extremely stupid! Big stupid frog, unteachable!"
The old toad was furious. He jumped into the air and slapped down three times with his webbed feet. Then he stepped on Erpang's belly, did a backflip, and landed on top of Erpang's head, waving his claws forward.
"Lead me to the waterway entrance quickly!"
"As you command, elder!"
Erpang dropped the lotus leaf and jumped.
Pfft!
Depth charges!
The waves receded, and a mighty column of water rose up.
……
study.
There was a sound of rain outside the round window.
Long Yao stood in front of the bookshelf, picked up two pieces of black ink, and frowned in thought.
"Sister Li, on rainy days, do you use oil smoke or pine smoke?"
"Stupid." Long Li knocked on Long Yao's head, "It must be lampblack, mixed with tung oil, so that the words written will not be easily blurred by moisture."
"I remembered!" Long Yao put down the pine cigarette.
"Long Yao, where's Mo?"
"I'm coming!"
Long Yao hurried out, picked up the small copper kettle, and ground the water with dripping water.
Liang Qu leaned back on the Ruyi chair and opened the booklet sent by Senior Brother Hu, which described in detail how the martial arts academy operated.
He summarized and wrote down his ideas about attending a martial arts academy to get a certificate, the corresponding assessment method, reducing the financial burden, and strengthening local control.
Halfway done.
"Liang Qing!"
The old toad's loud voice echoed throughout the courtyard.
"Frog?" Liang Qu picked up the brush and temporarily recorded his few spiritual points to avoid negligence. Then he asked Long Yao to take it away to dry, and went out and turned right to the pond.
"I haven't seen you for three days. What's the important matter, Mr. Frog?"
The rocky waterfall is continuous and the rippling water foam pushes the blue-eyed snail flowers, emitting more fragrance.
The old toad stood with its back to Liangqu, its claws on its back, on top of the waterfall, looking out.
Stare for a long time.
The frog lowered its head and sighed leisurely.
"got windy……"
What biographical novel is this?
Liang Qu thought for a moment and then asked tentatively, "When the earth is shaking and the sky is turning upside down, when dragons fight and tigers fight?"
"Ha!" The old toad trembled all over, stretched out his claws, and jumped down from the top of the mountain. He landed in front of Liang Qu and patted his shoulder. "The only person in the world who understands me is Liang Qing!" "The world's fortune is one stone, and Frog has taken eight buckets. Could it be that Frog has smelled the blood and rain again? A conspiracy? Is he ready to save the world from the water and fire again?"
The old toad looked solemn: "To be honest with you, Liang Qing, I have a way in Daze. The risk is a bit high, but the return is very high. You take 30% and I take 70%. How about it?"
Have a business?
Liang Qu originally thought that nothing major would happen before the New Year this year. He would just clock in every day, check on the river pier and the progress of the construction of the Grand Theater, and consider the matter done when the imperial court gave the OK. He would not worry too much about the difference between 30% and 70%, as creating something out of nothing would be profit.
Rub your hands together.
"What kind of business is this? Frog, please tell me first."
The old toad pointed with his claws: "I calculated with my claws and the opportunity is to the east of the great lake!"
"East of the Great Lake?" Liang Qu frowned. "Eastern waters? The lair of the snake tribe?"
"That's right." The old toad shook his head, "So the risk is quite high."
More than just high.
In the past, the Jianghuai Lake was divided into five parts.
The Dragon King in the Central Courtyard, the Snake in the East, the Frog in the South, the Turtle in the West, and the Fish in the North.
The Dragon King disappeared, and the East Snake and the North Fish joined forces, causing the dragon to move into the center of the Dragon Palace. Most of the East Waters area where they originally lived was given to the North Fish King, and a small part was kept by the snakes.
It is said that the East Water Area is the most treacherous place in the entire Jianghuai Lake.
There are many dangerous places, such as the Soul-Locking Bay where one will be lost if entering, and the Poisonous Swamp where one will rot if touching. There are countless shipwrecks and the ecological environment is very different. Even the practitioners in the Eastern Region are a little different. The style is similar to that of Southern Xinjiang.
Therefore, Liang Qu never thought of getting involved.
On weekdays, when going to the estuary, whether from south to west or north, we have to take a detour.
He secretly felt that the situation was tricky, but he also felt that the old toad would not do anything without a purpose.
"Does Frog know what the opportunity is?"
The old toad swung his cheeks, raised his head and sighed, "The strength of a frog will eventually run out."
"How big is the chance?" Liang Qu asked in a different way.
The old toad pondered for a moment and said, "It is bigger than observing the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, but it should not be as good as gathering the long energy of heaven and earth?"
What kind of opportunity is this?
The mysterious light was revealed, and the world was in harmony. Liang Qufu was filled with joy: "Could it be the Eight Beauties of Jianghuai?"
"What eight beauties?" the old toad was puzzled.
Liang Qu introduced the eight beauties.
The old toad frowned, very dissatisfied: "Among the eight beauties of Jianghuai, why let a dragon girl in? Her skin is not sharp at all, and she is ugly. She is not even half as good as the beautiful frog at the village head. This beauty should belong to my frog clan!"
There is a toad inside the door and two frogs outside.
Under the jujube tree, Long Yao and Long Li puffed up their cheeks, not daring to offend the frog tribe elder, and sulked inwardly.
"The person who edited it is blind and doesn't know the beauty of frogs." Liang Qu didn't want to get off topic, so he complimented her and immediately pulled her back, "Frog, you should know about Meng Baihuo and Fengxianyu, right?"
"Eh, eh, eh, eh..." The old toad kept repeating "eh, eh, eh..." He paced around the pond for a long time, feeling doubtful. "Now that you mention it, they do look somewhat similar!"
This is the end.
Liang Qu knew what was going on.
The Eight Beauties of Jianghuai might have been released intentionally by someone with ulterior motives!
Using the Dragon Girl and the Mermaid's Tears, beautiful objects familiar to the people, as the leading "evidence" and "anchor points", and then using legendary objects such as the Dragon Palace and the Immortal Palace to raise expectations, it invisibly raises the expectations for the two precious fish that can be listed alongside them.
Including the eight beautiful titles.
People are born to like to distinguish things, to throw out concepts, and then they will become popular and spread.
"The spirit of the treasure fish is easy to disappear. It can only be kept in captivity for one season at most. The time for those who are interested in building momentum has already exceeded this time. Unless you have a unique way to cultivate it like the round head under my command...
Did they just find the trace but didn't capture it, or is the treasure fish still in the making? "
Liang Qu's imagination ran wild.
half an hour.
"Frog, can this opportunity be seized immediately?"
"No rush, there won't be any major developments in a few months."
"Does Frog have any other warnings?"
"With your ability, Liang Qing, please don't keep changing!"
"what for?"
"Once I go to the Eastern Region, the white ape will always be a white ape, and the human body will always be a human body."
“Even if there are no people and no fish around?”
The old toad nodded vigorously.
