第1011章 刺猬巧献连环计（5k4，2合1）
Chapter 1011 Hedgehog's Clever Conspiracy (5k4, -in-)
Blah blah blah, blah blah.
The moonlight is bright, and the lush green grass emerges from the ground and is then trampled into the dust.
Monks in the temple were constantly coming and going, each grabbing a large spoon to stir the pool, the ice cubes making the sound of clattering and shouting in groups, and every time they shouted, a little monk would come and go with a large bucket.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, it's not enough, not enough, add some more ice water, add some more ice water! Remember to cut it into small pieces, it melts quickly!"
"Huh, one hundred kilograms of Yuequan water mixed with ten thousand kilograms of Yuquan water is really exhausting. Have you figured out which households we need to deliver it to today?"
"Make it clear, it's Master Bayi, Master Yangjin Lhamo, and Master Wangji's family. The ladies of these families want to take a bath tomorrow night so that they can attend the Master's special day in ten days. They are in a hurry. The big mastiff has been arranged, and they are just waiting for the masters to dilute it."
Bang.
The noise was harsh.
Everyone stopped and saw a wooden barrel fall to the ground. The white snow inside scattered like sugar, and the little monk climbed up from the ground.
"You idiot, how many times have you said, I want ice water! I want ice water! How did you get snow? Ice is clean and dust-free, snow is not clean and has dust! Whose Gotze are you?"
The monk grabbed the novice's ear and cursed him loudly, using such force that he almost tore it in half, and large drops of blood fell.
The monk at the side put down the wooden spoon and said, "Alright, alright, you Gelong, why are you so angry with a Gece? If the master sees you saying something evil, he will definitely scold you. Be careful not to drop blood into the pond, or the ten thousand catties of Jade Spring will be wasted."
"Go get some ice water! Don't get your dirty blood on it!"
The monk who had pulled the little monk's ear let go and stopped being angry. He kicked the little monk away. The little monk did not dare to complain. He held back his tears and left, covering his ears. Drops of blood the size of beans dripped from between his fingers and seeped into the black soil along the tips of the leaves.
The moonlight is lonely.
The plateau is vast.
Bats circled low and flew overhead.
On the eaves, Bai Yuwa relayed the content of the conversation in detail.
Cha Qing Yike could translate, but his strength was too low and he could not hear accurately what the people said in the courtyard. However, compared to Bai Yuwa, his advantage was that as a human, he was also interested in exploring and had a better understanding of the culture of the Snow Mountain Temple.
The two can complement each other.
After Bai Yuwa finished translating, Cha Qing began to explain: "Sir, the so-called Gece is a young novice monk who has received the ten precepts, and Gelong is one level higher, a monk who has received the full precepts, that is, a real monk.
As for the guru, there are two explanations. One is that it can refer to the abbot of the temple, and the other is that it can refer to a great master. Yuequan Temple is a small temple, and this guru is the abbot of Yuequan Temple who is about to celebrate his birthday. His strength should not be underestimated. He has perfected the tiger hunting, and is just one wisp of energy away from being promoted to the level of a perfect elephant. "
"Perfect tiger hunting? That's not that strong." Liang Qu wondered, he could blow up the entire Yuequan Temple with one punch.
Cha Qing wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally remained speechless.
He who is stronger is right.
The entire Yuequan Temple is not enough to sustain the attacks of the few water beasts under Liang Qu's command.
It's hard to refute.
Liang Qu pointed to the square pond in the courtyard. The water was as white as milk and glowed brightly.
"Can this Moon Spring Water be diluted?"
"Quack, sure, sure." The white jade frog said, and there were a few little frogs following behind, planning to get some free food and drinks. "I asked my frog dad, the water that comes out of the ice spring in the Moon Spring Temple at midnight is the Moon Spring water, and the water at this time is the best, and has many uses.
It can cleanse the skin and nourish the face. Drinking it or soaking it in water can make your skin shiny, like pearls. It can relieve pain and warm the body. It can also preserve freshness with ice crystals. If you soak it in water, things won’t rot for at least seven days. Many people outside want it. The supply cannot meet the demand. The monks in Yuequan Temple will dilute it before selling it.”
What a clever frog!
Fearing that his translation job would be snatched away, Cha Qing hurriedly added: “Sir, Yuequan Temple is on the other side of the Blue Lake, and I often heard about it in the market of Hantai Prefecture.
The bulk of the Yuequan water is taken away by the big temple above. As for the rest, half is used by Yuequan Temple itself, and the other half will be sold in exchange for other supplies.
Due to the demand, a considerable portion of the Yuequan water sold will be diluted into Yuquan water to be supplied to the dignitaries who visit Yuequan Temple.
Most of these things are for your lady to use to maintain her skin, and they are very valuable. A bottle of Jade Spring Water can be worth one or two taels of silver, and there is no telling how many bottles of Moon Spring Water there are. I heard that once you use this Jade Spring Water, you can never stop using it, so you don’t have to worry about selling it.”
"Oh." Liang Qu was surprised. "Is there such a thing? If it can't be cut off, how can it be the same as Wushisan?"
"Quack, what is Wushisan?"
"It's a substance that makes people addicted. After taking it, you can't live without it. Your whole body will itch and you will scratch until your skin is ulcerated."
"Quack, this kind of thing is not that exaggerated." The white jade frog waved its claws and webbed feet, "It's just that the diluted Jade Spring Water is different from the Moon Spring Water, and its effectiveness is poor.
The effect of Yuequan Water can be retained if used for a long time, although it is small. Yuquan Water is only effective on the surface. Once it is stopped for more than three months, its true colors will be revealed immediately, and it will be the same as before use. Those ladies will definitely not be happy about it, so they can only keep buying it. "
It's really a good and long-lasting business.
High-end cosmetics with no side effects, keep you forever eighteen years old.
The wife of the first wife is not a problem, as she relies on the power of her husband's family. However, concubines who are getting older are definitely a necessity.
Liang Qu glanced at Long Eying and said with a playful smile: "From this point of view, my wife is frugal and has a natural beauty, with skin as white as jade and pearls. I wonder how much money she has saved."
Long Eying didn't buy it: "Do you want to do it now?"
"Wait, don't be anxious. Do you have any idea to bring out the conflict?" Liang Qu asked the heroes for advice again.
Above the eaves.
The Dragon Man, Huaikong, Chaqing, Toad, and many other water beasts all sat around in the middle, covered by the water curtain and the cover of night, and openly discussed how to deal with the Yuequan Temple below.
Binglun Bodhi Temple did not intervene itself, but instead contacted the two temples under it, and the conflicts between them were much less.
To destroy Yuequan for no reason is undoubtedly too purposeful.
Liang Qu had not originally targeted this small temple, but he just happened to hear that there was a special day.
How can monks use so many intestines safely?
He came here to cause trouble, so he wouldn't be afraid of trouble, especially since he's right in front of him.
However, the whole incident is complicated and requires a legitimate reason.
roof.
Several people looked at each other, and for a moment they really couldn't think of any good solution.
"Sir, let's deliberately pass by those two monks. When they see us, they will surely be unable to resist spying. We can use the excuse that they looked at us a few more times as an excuse to start killing them?" Long Yanrui suggested.
Everyone looked sideways.
Long Yanrui felt a little embarrassed and coughed twice before shutting up.
Taotao grabbed the hair on top of his head and fell into deep thought.
Is it true that a mere glance from others cannot be used as a reason to kill people?
The White Jade Frog scratched its stomach. It was so hard to come out to drink the Moon Spring Water. Thanks to it for bringing so many frogs with it, it didn’t expect that it would have to use its frog brain. Didn’t it say that it could make a brew and drink the water by leading the way?
a long time.
The hedgehog pretended to be hesitant and shook its sharp spikes to show its presence in front of everyone.
"My Lord, my Lord, I have a plan, but I don't know if it's okay or not."
"Oh? A chain of tricks?"
Liang Qu and the golden-haired tiger below both looked sideways.
Little Mirage Dragon thought something was not good.
"What chain of tricks? Tell me about it."
The hedgehog shook a few fruits and distributed them to everyone one by one. His little paw pointed at the Moon Spring Water below: "Why don't we make something out of this Moon Spring Water? Connect everything together?"
“How to connect?”
The hedgehog thought for a moment, prepared his speech, and then began to tell the story.
“The Moon Spring water in Yuequan Temple is mostly used by noble ladies. Recently, in order to celebrate a special day, they took out the previous stock and sold a lot of it. They also sent out invitations as gifts. It was a grand event. There is only a blue lake between the two, and some ladies in the Bai family will definitely be invited.
In order to settle the matter peacefully, the Bai family apologized to Mrs. Long on behalf of Bai Xingwen, and they chose the undiluted Yuequan water, which was extremely popular in the market, as one of the many gifts of apology. It was reasonable, after all, all women love this thing, and who doesn't love beauty? It was even more reasonable to give it to the lady.
Unexpectedly, after using it, the lady found that the spring water was poisonous. Not only could it not nourish the skin, but it could also destroy the face! Isn't this the biggest excuse?
At this time, you can also link it to the two monks from Yuequan Temple who came to Hantai Mansion to inquire about it. This is evidence that it was a premeditated deliberate harm! The purpose is that Yuequan Temple is trying to sow discord between the Bai family and you! Exacerbating the conflict is a crime that cannot be forgiven!"
Long Eying: “…”
The hedgehog waved his paws hastily to try to make amends: "It's not really ruined, it's not really ruined. We just polluted this whole batch of Moon Spring Water and sold it. Then we can have other people testify. Madam doesn't have to really use it."
Long Yanrui didn't think this proposal was better than his, and questioned: "The court still wants to punish openly and praise secretly to appease the Bai family, so why would the Bai family take the initiative to apologize?"
"It's not impossible." Liang Qu touched his chin. "Apologizing to E Ying does not conflict with accumulating resentment towards me. Those who should admit their mistakes should admit their mistakes, and those who should save face should save face. These are two different things. From the perspective of the Bai family, it is an open retreat to advance."
The hedgehog's eyes lit up, "Right, right, that's right, that's right! Retreat to advance! My Lord, you have a good eye!"
I think this move has many benefits. First, it is to create trouble and intensify conflicts. Second, it is to make the Bai family disgusted with the Snow Mountain Temple and let the young people switch sides to Dashun. Third, the plans echo each other and are interconnected, which is logical and unlikely to arouse suspicion. The fact that Binglun Bodhi Temple found Yuequan Temple is itself a coincidence.
In addition, it is very simple to pollute it. Didn’t the monk say before that the Moon Spring and Jade Spring cannot be polluted? Even snow water and ice water have a difference.
Besides, everyone knows about the monk scolding the novice monk just now. If Yuequan Temple conducts a self-examination, it will most likely suspect that something went wrong during the operation tonight."
Liang Qu looked at the white jade frog.
Bai Yuwa nodded repeatedly in order to drink the spring water from the previous month: "Although I don't know why, it can only be diluted with ice water, slowly melted, without other impurities."
"Uncle-master, if you pollute a group of people, this may harm the harmony of nature." Huaikong advised.
What I have seen and heard over the past few months is horrifying. Those elderly ladies who need this thing may not be innocent, swallowing up the people's money. But what if there are only one or two such people? Everything cannot be determined.
"It doesn't have to be a powerful toxin. Just pick one that works in the short term, can restore health in the long term, and is harmless. Huaikong, if you're worried, I'll leave it to you. You should understand pharmacology."
"Amitabha, leave it to me."
As an outstanding disciple of the Hanging Temple, Huaikong is naturally proficient in everything.
If worst comes to worst, there is still Medicine Buddha.
Although it's a bit despicable, I wonder if this move can convert the residents of Hantai to Central Plains Buddhism?
The hedgehog was greatly surprised. He shook his head and hid in the shadow, secretly delighted, foreseeing a future of continuous advancement.
hateful!
Only a sinister and despicable little beast could come up with such a sinister and despicable plan!
The little mirage dragon grabbed the dragon horn in distress and rolled around in discomfort on Long Eying's shoulder.
I can only blame myself for being too naive. I am not as cunning and treacherous as a hedgehog, nor as flattering as a fat catfish.
The golden-haired tiger under the wall was secretly surprised. He used to think that the hedgehog was just a fruit plate, but he didn't expect it to have such a talent.
It’s another day without discovering any talent. My journey to becoming the king is still long and arduous!
"Come on, Huaikong, you prepare the medicine first! If you need anything, ask Chaqing to take you to buy it. Third Prince, you find a chance to find Bai Mingzhe. Be careful to hide and discuss this matter secretly. He won't refuse. It's also a signal to let him understand something. Binglin, you can go to the street and bump into the monks from the Moon Spring Temple and deliberately leave a few impressive spots."
"Yes!"
Things are released one by one.
Each of them received orders.
Everyone landed on the ground. The golden tiger and the wild boar carried everyone across the plateau, landed on the deck, then crossed the Small Half Blue Lake and returned to Hantai.
The monks in Yuequan Temple were still stirring and diluting the Yuequan water with ice cubes, but they had no idea that several people on the roof had discussed how to "slaughter" them.
Ze Ding trembled.
[Drowning Trigger]
[Accumulation of Drowning Karma: 2]
On the tiger's back, Liang Qu glanced at Ze Ding's information.
"Ling Xuan's statistics are still incomplete. Will the Snow Mountain Region increase a little compared to the Hantai Prefecture..."
Prescription, communication, and chance encounters are not something that can be done overnight and require looking for opportunities.
After Liang Qu finished giving his instructions, he hurried back to Pingyang Prefecture to complete his job.
"Present the sacrifice!"
[Sacrifice to Huaijiang River, river favor +1.1147]
[River dominance: 0.1 (favor: 17.0046)]
Spring passes and summer comes.
The vast Jianghuai Lake is in full view, the river breeze is vast and the clothes are fluttering.
Liang Qu and Jiaolong were competing with each other, all focusing on the fundamental thing - strength.
The rest are unable to share even a single bit of his spirit.
About to step down.
[Rule the Huai River, seize favor 0.1]
[River dominance: 0.1 (favor: 17.1046)]
Huh?
"Brother Shui, this is my first time organizing the River God Sacrifice. How is it going?" Lin Songbao ran over excitedly.
"Not bad!" Liang Qu came back to his senses and gave a thumbs up. "It's no worse than what Chen Xianglao did. If we hold two more shows, it will definitely be better than Chen Xianglao's. I'll write a note for you later and you can go get the two precious fish yourself."
"This, isn't it good?"
"What's the problem? The River and Lake Administration is responsible for water affairs. Yixing villagers' sacrifice to the river god is also one of the water affairs. If it is done well, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and they should be rewarded!"
"Got it!"
Lin Songbao is not a shameless person.
Spring passes and autumn comes.
Last time, Chen Zhaoan resigned due to his age and lack of energy, and specially arranged for Lin Songbao to take over. This year, Lin Songbao is in charge of the arrangements, with Chen Zhaoan as his assistant.
A small river god sacrifice may seem simple, but it actually involves many rules and details.
Fortunately, the young man who was able to remember all the names and faces of people in Yixing City was familiar with various matters and was very familiar with organizing the sacrifices.
"By the way, Brother Shui, I also want to ask, since most of the help comes from Chen Xianglao, should we give him more meat?"
Liang Qu thought for a moment and said, "The meat will still be divided among the village elders, but from now on, you should give an extra green-backed dragon carp weighing more than three catties each time. It was hard to find before, but now the river and the port have boats out every month, so it's not hard to find such precious fish. I'll approve the order and you can go get it together."
"Okay! I'll arrange it right away."
In a moment, Chen Zhaoan came over with a cane to express his gratitude.
"Why would Sir Liang spend so much money..."
Liang Qu didn't bother to be polite about this matter. He just looked down and said, "How is it, Elder Chen, is this cane comfortable to use?"
"Of course it's convenient and impressive, but a little heavy." Chen Zhaoan smiled and tapped the cane in his hand, "It's a piece of huanghuali wood inlaid with gold. I don't dare to use it on weekdays."
"Hahaha." Liang Qu laughed. "There are ways to use it on big days and small days. Villager Chen is not used to it on weekdays, so he still uses the loblolly wood."
Chen Zhaoan celebrated his 80th birthday last August. He never forgot about it and asked Liu Quanfu to make a huanghuali walking stick as a birthday gift.
Speaking of crutches, Liu Quanfu, a carpenter who used to build ships for Liangqu, studied in the shipyard for several years and had already become a good carpenter who was ranked among the best even in the city.
With each passing day, everyone's life is changing.
"0.1 dominance, grab 0.1 favor..."
After a busy period, Liang Qu lay at home, checking Ze Ding's message and thinking silently.
He has never understood the role of the ruling degree. It is said that the increase in the water and the favor degree have not made any difference, and the others have not appeared until today, when a 0.1 suddenly appeared after the sacrifice. There were eight years of sacrifice before this, and there has been no such situation for nearly ten years.
"Does it mean that I can only obtain favor once a year? The amount is equal to the degree of dominance? Can I create favor out of thin air?"
Liang Qu made a bold guess.
The reign came last year when the old monk started preaching the sutras. This year marks exactly one year.
In addition, after the emergence of ruling degree, favor degree can be granted at will...
"Is this favor created out of thin air?" Liang Qu's mouth was dry, as if he had discovered something incredible.
Now it is 0.1, grab 0.1 a year.
What if it’s 10 or 20?
Stable annual income?
However, this brings up a contradiction. If it is ten, then in the eleventh year, wouldn’t that mean there will be a total of one hundred and ten favors?
What happened to Jiang Huai's throne?
"The upper limit for one person and one beast is 100. Is there any limit on the number of people? Is there any limit on the number of Rank Fruits? Or are there any other conditions?"
Liang Qu has a headache.
I still know too little.
There is no way to improve the ruling power, and we don't know what the situation of the Jiaolong is. In addition, is the old Dragon King dead or not? What is he doing if he is not dead? Is he reincarnated and rebuilt? Is there an invisible hand lurking behind the scenes? Are the Mirage Dragon and the Dragon King some different routes of the Water King?
After all, the river is full of life and gave birth to dragons. After disappearing for two decades, they will surely reappear. However, when the mirage dragon was around, no one had heard any news about the Dragon King for a long time.
The Dragon King of Huaijiang River is a melting pot and will never remain unknown.
The history is too long, and many records in classics are completely vague. It is still unknown when the old dragon king appeared after the death of the mirage dragon. In addition, the mirage dragon did not seem to die immediately, so the time is difficult to verify.
"I finally got home." Liang Qu suppressed his thoughts and called to the kitchen, "Auntie Zhang, make fried eel noodles today."
"okay!"
Liang Qu is looking forward to the delicious food.
In Hantai Mansion, Long Yanrui passed by two monks from Yuequan Temple.
It was not new that there were dragon people around Lord Xingyi. They were extremely huge in size. The two monks had heard about it long ago. Suddenly, they found the target they were looking for. They subconsciously glanced at him and were instantly caught by Long Yanrui, who was also practicing the "Eye Consciousness Method" and turned back abruptly.
"What are you?"
"?"
