Chapter 978: Only One Line Left
Chapter 978: Just a Step Away
"Li Yuan, add more fuel to the fire!"
"immediately!"
boom!
The bamboo basket and flint were thrown into the furnace, and the shirtless young man was sweating profusely.
Liang Qu patted the young man's big arm as he hammered iron: "Not bad, you are much taller and stronger. You have been an apprentice in the shop for a few years. Can you forge a hundred-tempered weapon now?"
"Ha, it's been almost seven years. Master Liang, don't underestimate me. In March this year, I used one hundred pieces of black iron to forge one hundred and sixty-seven refinements!"
"Hey, that's okay."
Li Yuan, the former apprentice and now a young master in the forging shop, grinned: "It's all thanks to Master Lu's good teaching."
"What are you talking about? Stop!" Lu Gang shouted.
"Coming." Li Yuan moved forward and got busy again.
Outside the yard, the fat catfish stretched out its hands, lay on the ground, stared into the window with one round eye, and saw the molten iron, and slapped the ground with its tail, full of joy.
Liang Qu laughed and walked out of the small door.
It was scorching hot in June, but when I came out of the forging room, I felt a little "cool".
"A Fei, you've been watching for half an hour. Have you decided what weapon to use?"
The fat catfish nodded repeatedly, waving its two long whiskers. It picked up the small book in its hand, turned to the middle page, and stood up. It clasped its hands together, one hand above its head to the sky, and the other hand on its waist, looking very majestic.
Look at the page again.
Two dragon-patterned warhammers.
The hammer handle is short, the hammer head is large, and the hammer body is covered with coral holes of varying sizes.
"Whirlpool Hammer?" Liang Qu read all the lines at a glance. "Obsidian coral, black whale bone, wow, it's not cheap..."
"Don't worry about the materials. The sea merchants are here all the time. I will buy any good materials I find. I stockpiled some last year. Everyone said that if we each contribute, it will be enough." Lu Gang wiped the sweat off his face and came to the yard.
"Everyone... are you brothers and sisters?"
"How can you watch Meng Baihuo in vain?"
Liang Qu was too lazy to care about gains and losses. He could earn money and knew how to earn it. It was a waste of energy for him to calculate on his own. He could just give the money he saved to his wife.
"Brother, what do you think of this hammer?"
"Very good. Although the underwater hammer is not as sharp as a spear or a halberd, the honeycomb holes can reduce water resistance. The hammer body is hollow and can be embedded with an additional resonance core to form a resonance cavity, which can be sublimated into a better spiritual weapon. When the two hammers collide, a shock wave will be generated, which can block, kill, and avoid. You can also stuff fluorescent jellyfish sacs inside, and a hammer will burst out with flashes."
It sounds good indeed.
"Ah Fei, are you sure you want this? You can't change it once you've chosen it."
The fat catfish nodded vigorously, supported the ground with its tail, turned around, waved its hands, and then struck a handsome pose.
It has to be big!
Be handsome!
Be aggressive!
肱！
骨！
Just looking at the head and belly, it looks exactly like a frog...
It is broad and fat, suitable for swinging a sledgehammer.
"That's fine." Liang Qu respected the water beast's choice, "Brother, give it this shot."
Lu Gang marked the page and added the size: "The hammer is too big, and it's hard to make it with the armor. It might take two or three months. You have a few more to come, right? A finless porpoise, a crab, and a crocodile. It will take at least a year to get them all together."
"It's okay. If you need money for materials, you can go to the martial arts academy to borrow money. Writing a note doesn't count as borrowing. You can't move. The fist armor is just a decoration. The main thing is the round head and a few weapons."
He can't move but has scales, his fists have hard armor, and he doesn't need any armor at all. His fists don't even want weapons, they just want a fur skirt.
Grasp with both hands and make both hands strong.
Blooming both on land and water!
People are unable to be in two places at once, so they need force. When they reach the Great Snow Mountain, several monsters stop on the official road.
Face!
"Row!"
Lu Gang made careful records and returned to the forging room to work.
More than a dozen people each have their own duties.
Pong!
The hammer smashed down, sparks flew endlessly, as if a gorgeous tree had grown on the anvil, and the sparks that hit the ceiling scattered and gathered into a tree crown.
Midnight.
Everything was quiet and the beaver family was fast asleep.
It is a rare sunny day during the rainy season, and fireflies as big as green beans are spinning in the bushes.
"call."
Soaking in the pool, Liang Qu breathed a sigh of relief.
After a long journey, choosing armor and practicing martial arts for Fat Catfish, Fourth Senior Brother Xu Zishuai spent a lot of money, and treating guests to a movie on the Mermaid Island, he was really exhausted after all these things.
"I can't rest. The River God Festival, the Dream White Fire..." Squeak.
The door hinge turned and Liang Qu's head tilted back.
The world spins.
Long Eying had her long hair loose and was wrapped in a white bath towel. She bent down to hang up Liang Qu's clothes scattered on the ground, and sorted her socks and underwear into a bamboo basket.
The silk bath towel was tied tightly, making the curve of the buttocks particularly prominent, a beautiful peach heart shape. When bending down, one could see the white and plumpness squeezed out of the bath towel.
Smooth and smooth, like mutton-fat jade.
My head tilted back, the blood rushed up, and I felt dizzy.
Looking inward again, I saw a pale golden seed floating up and down, a small star that had grown in the past two months!
Wuhu!
Pfft!
Poolside cabin.
The beaver turned over in annoyance, kicked his brothers away, and blocked his ears.
What annoying mosquitoes.
……
Roll call, request the master's merit application report, approve the report, give rewards, check the water situation during the rainy season, arrange Meng Baihuo, Pingyang Temple on Pingyang Mountain, Tiger Cave, and unite to fight against the Jiaolong Alliance...
Liang Qu had no time to spare after returning.
While accompanying the eldest brother to review the changes in Pingyang Prefecture, the most important of course is the annual festival in Yixing Town, a fixed scene for gaining favor - the River God Festival!
"Mr. Chen is going to resign?"
Liang Qu, feeling refreshed, sat in the hall and exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Zhaoan supported himself with a cane, took a deep breath, and age spots spread along his skinny cheeks.
"I am seventy-nine this year. As the saying goes, sixty is sixty, seventy is old, and after November, I will be eighty, which can be called the age of eighty. My legs and feet are becoming more and more inconvenient, and my eyesight and hearing are not as good as before.
The population of Yixing Town is increasing, and none of them are familiar with the customs. I felt that I was not up to the task two years ago, but I just wanted to finish it from beginning to end, so I persisted until today. This year I can still have a successful conclusion, and next year..."
"Ah... it's also hard work for Mr. Chen."
Liang Qu sighed.
The trivial matters of life may seem insignificant, but they actually consume a lot of one's energy. Every year at the River God Festival, Liangqu only offers one sacrifice. On the day of the performance, Chen Zhaoan was able to arrange everything properly, and his ability was obviously quite good.
Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do as I get older.
When we were at the Hanging Temple, we were still talking about Chen Zhaoan’s eighty years old. In the blink of an eye, the impact of the ruthless years was really before our eyes.
"When will the birthday party be held?"
"It is August 3rd."
"If I am free, I will definitely attend the banquet."
Chen Zhaoan's face turned red. He put down his crutches and bowed.
The Xu family is holding a 90th birthday party, and they celebrated their 89th birthday. There is no taboo about celebrating their 80th birthday. It is reasonable and moral for Liang Qu to get a huanghuali walking stick.
"After this year, who do the village elders think is suitable to organize the festival?"
"Lin Songbao." Chen Zhaoan had already prepared a plan. "Privately speaking, I want my eldest son to come, but he is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and is not up to the task. My grandson is out there trying his luck. Although Lin Songbao is young, he is very knowledgeable and knows the local customs. This year, I want him to pay more attention and go with me to meet the big families. He will be no worse than me."
Details finalized.
The river god festival continues as usual.
In the Jianghuai swamps, the fat catfish received an order and took on another important task.
Zhongting Dahuai Army.
The fat catfish looked around with its tiger eyes, and the monster that was trying to avoid it trembled with fear.
strangeness.
I have always had good luck with fat pioneer fish, but when I saw one today, I felt a chill on my back. Was there a poisonous snake swimming by?
Three more days.
In the canyon where Tianshui Chaolu was excavated in the past, Liangqu lit up the golden eyes and used the method of heavenly gate and earth axis to observe the direction of the canyon and prepare a "design drawing" first.
"Huh, it's accumulating so quickly?"
Invisible energy flows within the field of vision.
The entire canyon was a sea of azure blue, and it seemed as if it was about to rise again, like a circle of water overflowing from the mouth of a teacup, which would pour out only if pricked by a needle.
Look at the sky, the "clouds" are flowing down.
Liang Qu's brows gradually furrowed.
"A vision of heaven and earth?"
"Is it the Fairy Island on the Clouds again?"
