Chapter 1019: Across the River, Bright as the Sun (Two in One)

"The Blue Lake is the only large lake in the entire upper reaches of the Huai River. We call it the Blue Lake, and people in the Snow Mountain Region and Beiting call it Qiongji Gyatso, which means the Dharma Sound of the Ice Sea, which can inspire people through the sound of the tide.

Unlike the deep and wide Jianghuai Lakes, the Blue Lake is long and narrow. If you have to say it, it is similar to Weishan Lake on the canal, with its north-south length being more than seven times its east-west width.

The coastline at the southern end is smooth, while the northern end is fragmented and hilly. There are many islands and land, a small part of which is within the territory of Beiting.

I don’t know if it’s because the weather is too cold, but I’ve observed that the number of monsters in the Blue Lake is not as many as those in the middle and lower reaches of the lake. It’s about 30% less. Thank you.”

The breeze comes slowly.

Three boats sailed side by side.

Silver Medal Tiqi Hu Lixin rowed the boat, Ling Xuan stood on the bow and chatted with Liang Qu, and took the dried fish handed to him by Mao Zhuazi.

Deng!
The ship sank slightly.

Otter opened his arms with an oil-paper bag and continued to jump back and forth between the boats, distributing them one by one.

This is a brand new creation following various delicious cooking methods such as grilled fish, stewed fish, sweet and sour fish, spicy fried fish cubes, etc. - Otter's style special dried fish!

The air was too dry, and it caused the otter's hair to split.

Ota was inspired to see herdsmen sticking cow dung on the wall and letting it dry naturally to make fuel. It is a great place to make dried fish. It does not need a lot of salt to be pickled, and it will not spoil easily. It dries very quickly and will not be very tough to chew.

Finally, after unremitting efforts and secret research and development, it successfully developed this snack that brings people closer together, and today is the first time it is used.

Click click click.

Liang Qu held half a small fish in his mouth.

There were three boats, with a total of 16 people and a river otter, excluding the four people from Ling Xuan at the beginning, Liang Qu, Long Eying and Huai Kong. There were also three other masters, Jian Zhongyi, Liu Jingxuan, who was at the second level, and Chi Erlan, who was at the first level.

What remains are mostly wolf smoke and individual tiger hunting realms.

We cannot underestimate these people. The reason they were able to join in and take part in the plan is, firstly, their loyalty is high enough. Secondly, each of them has unique skills, such as disguise, animal taming, herbalist, local customs, and Buddhist research, which greatly supplements the functionality of the team.

They are not here to fight head-on.

Compared with many small countries, the Great Snow Mountain can be called a behemoth. A few phenomena alone cannot affect the overall situation. It is enough as long as it has the ability to protect itself under certain circumstances.

If Jian Zhongyi must be guarded, the number of Zhenxiang masters in the team can even be reduced to prevent the threat from being too great and alerting the Great Snow Mountain.

first meet.

There was nothing much to talk about, so they just exchanged pleasantries and flattered each other. After a few words, they boarded the boat and headed for their destination.

Among them, Jian Zhongyi only asked him about the situation in Pingyang Prefecture and nothing else.

The two sides did not have much overt interaction, but Jian Zhongyi's short haircut was unexpected.

The body is skinned, and the parents who are affected by it dare not to be hurt, the beginning of filial piety.

This does not mean that hair and nails cannot be cut, but that the body is precious and must be treated well and not be messed with. Otherwise, everyone on the street would be unkempt, and E Ying would often help him shave and trim his sideburns, but that was all.

If a normal person cuts his hair short, unless there are special circumstances, he will almost be regarded as an anomaly, and going back further, it may even be a criminal offense.

"It's not easy to handle."

Liang Qu's original plan was to find out the situation of the hidden agents, see if there was any alternative method, and then quietly kill Jian Zhongyi.

Now the first step is still unclear. I can dissolve the rituals myself, but I can’t “disguise” them for the time being. It’s very difficult to set them up, and forging is not an easy task.

The second step also presents difficulties.

According to Ling Xuan, they must ensure that there are two Zhenxiang by Jian Zhongyi's side at all times. Strictly speaking, Jian Zhongyi is currently on "probation" and is not truly free. The people around him have the obligation to supervise him, and there is no room for any slack.

Leading him out and then killing him is too abstract.

If they are taken out and killed, they will have no room for explanation in the future. Once others criticize them, they can just put the blame on them regardless of the truth.

Although the truth is correct.

"Crack, click, click."

Ling Xuan bit off a small piece of dried fish and said, "The hidden target this time is a living creature named 'Snow Mountain Lu King'. The Lotus Sect's 'Hundred Thousand Dragons Sutra' records that it has a long lifespan, controls the circulation of the Blue Lake's water veins, and has unmatched defense."

"King Lu of Snow Mountain, what a great title."

"It has a big name because it has lived long enough and has been passed down by word of mouth by the people, so it will slowly be brewed. In fact, it is a second-level ice crystal conch with extremely high defense. It can sleep for several months or even half a year. It is more active only in summer. It is said to be thousands of years old, so it can leave many myths and legends and be recorded in the classics."

Liang Qu suddenly realized.

Old giant clam relative.

The hardness of the old giant clam was very impressive, but I don’t know which one is harder, the conch shell or the Fu Bo Spear.

Ling Xuan glanced at Long Eying and said, "Although I didn't mean to ask, the matter has become a hot topic. I heard that the Bai family compensated Madam Ling with a Mysterious Ice Soul Pearl?"

"Well, I don't know how to use it for now. Should I refine it directly or forge it into a weapon?"

In the Yuequan Water incident, Bai Mingzhe cooperated, and the Bai family retreated to advance and deliberately made publicity.

The Mysterious Ice Soul Pearl that was delivered is extremely precious, equivalent to a powerful medicine. It has many uses. It can be taken by oneself as a powerful medicine to enhance magical powers, especially ice-based magical powers, and can be used to forge spiritual weapons.

Chi Erlan, who was at the first level of perfection, interrupted: "If Lord Liang is hesitant, I think you might as well refine it directly. If you want to forge an ice spiritual weapon, this Snow Mountain King Lu is an excellent material.

The Ice Crystal Conch itself is an ice monster. It can freeze an area of ​​dozens of miles in a breath, just like a natural disaster. Its shell and beads are excellent materials for spiritual weapons, or even auxiliary materials for mysterious weapons. "

Liang Qu seemed to be thinking about something.

The weather in the Snow Mountain is freezing cold, and all kinds of precious plants have adapted to the environment and grown together. There are indeed more natural resources suitable for Eying than in Jianghuai.

But he didn't think much about it and just waited until he got the things.

It is not a good habit to study how to use the harvest before things are done.

"There is one thing I don't understand."

"Master Liang, please ask."

"You have been saying that Snow Mountain King Lu is a secret agent. What is the mechanism of this secret agent? What will happen if you kill it? Once King Lu dies, can you still create the illusion that it is still alive?"

Ling Xuan and Liu Jingxuan looked at each other.

Let Ling Xuan explain it.

"We currently divide the hidden agents in the Snow Mountain into three types: natural disasters, man-made disasters, and riots."

"The Snow Mountain King Lu is one of the natural disasters. It can change the surrounding environment to a certain extent and cause natural disasters, such as rainstorms and frost, which bring devastating disasters... The Wind Horse Flag Formation that we cracked last time is also one of them. It can cause strong winds and droughts. If a flesh and blood body enters it, it will be licked by the gravel and turned into bones, and finally the bones will be turned into powder.

A riot is similar to the altar in the ice tower forest. Once it is inspired, once it gets close to an area of ​​ten miles, if the cultivation is not enough, it will turn into a blood evil that does not recognize anyone and attacks indiscriminately. Once the evil energy accumulates enough, it will form a blood pool, which is even more terrifying.

Of course, the above is just our speculation, and the hidden stakes are currently in a dormant state and have not been activated. "

"What about man-made disasters?"

"Man-made disasters... Sir Liang has actually encountered them before."

Have you encountered this?
Liang Qu frowned and thought.

half an hour.

"Dyke collapsed in Huazhu County, Pingyang Prefecture?"

"That's right!"

Jian Zhongyi lowered his head in shame.

Ling Xuan had no extra expression: "The dam collapse in Huazhu County was essentially caused by a small hidden cause. The third leader of the Shahe Gang had an illegitimate son, even if he was the only son, things shouldn't have developed this way. From the beginning to the end, the matter was influenced by 'power', so it can be considered a man-made hidden cause.

This "power" is so mysterious that it will not leave any traces or clues in reality. The imperial guards at that time had no ability to investigate any clues. I have read the case files, and if I didn't know the characteristics of the disaster energy, I am afraid I would not have any clues.

It seems that this matter was proposed by Mr. Liang's master? He asked the court to send the Golden Guards to investigate?"

"Ah, haha." Liang Qu touched the back of his head and laughed.

When the old monk reminded him, he immediately told his master Yang Dongxiong and asked Yang Dongxiong to report it to the court. However, nothing was found out afterwards and the matter was left unresolved for a long time.

It was not until Jian Zhongyi "exploded himself" that the truth of the doubt was revealed.

Ling Xuan is not a decent person either. It would be so embarrassing to point it out in front of Jian Zhongyi.

"I've actually had contact with him before." Liang Qu thought.

"As for the King of Lu, he is not the secret agent himself, but the object of the secret agent's influence." Ling Xuan looked at Jian Zhongyi.

Jian Zhongyi said, "The Great Snow Mountain has deployed many similar means in the Blue Lake. They are not deliberately targeting any particular monster. King Lu is like this. He is naturally inactive, so the impact is more serious. He can be regarded as 'terminally ill'. Once the hidden stakes are activated, he will definitely go crazy. It is still unknown whether the Great Snow Mountain knows King Lu's behavior."

"I see." The purpose of this hidden stake is to influence, but Daxueshan is not sure who it can influence.

"Life and death are unpredictable, and live stakes are a relatively big surprise. We have considered it carefully and consulted the court beforehand. After comprehensive consideration, we think it is okay to do it."

Blue Lagoon split in half.

King Lu of Xueshan was on the side of Dashun.

Ling Xuan and others also gave a lot of guidance on the surface to ensure that even if the Great Snow Mountain knew that the big monster was affected, there were enough clues to support the rationality of collecting materials.

No one can do anything with certainty.

Both Daxueshan and Dashun were testing and doubting each other within a certain range.

In three years, they pulled out the easy-to-remove and unsuspected hidden spikes early on, and the only ones left were those dancing in the semi-sensitive area.

It just so happened that Liang Qu came and had the right expertise, so he handed over the lingering water monster to him.

"We're here." Hu Lixin put away the oars. "It's only ten miles ahead. It's easy to be discovered."

"Okay." Liang Qu pulled out his Fu Bo gun and spun it. "You take the credit for dealing with the hidden agent. After the task is completed, I will take the conch shell and conch pearl. If there is any problem, you will be responsible."

"Okay." Liu Jingxuan nodded in agreement. "Master Liang, please do as you wish. Do you need our help?"

"Not used at the moment."

The words have not yet fallen.

Liang Qu jumped off the bow.

Ling Xuan was curious: "Madam won't accompany you?"

He originally thought that Long Eying followed him to attack together with Liang Qu.

"No need."

The bubbles are faint.

August.

The shallow water of the Blue Lake is warm, but becomes icy cold again after descending a few meters.

"Another day of fishing."

Liang Qu grabbed the gun barrel and the sword was flowing.

at the same time.

Hantai Prefecture.

A pure white Gyrfalcon with golden-red pupils circled in the sky, and wherever it went, geese and sparrows flew in panic.

……

On the Huai River.

A bigger sensation continued to brew.

On the deck of the ship, the fighter climbed up the mast, took out his "clairvoyance" and stretched it. The moment he saw clearly, his scalp went numb and goose bumps broke out all over his body.

"What the hell?!"

"island?"

"Get lost, I've walked this road a hundred times and there's never been an island! It's still fucking moving!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

"I know, it's the Whale King!" someone shouted, "Didn't they say that the Whale King of the East China Sea was going west? It's so big, it must be the Whale King! The court issued a notice last month! Telling the people along the way not to be alarmed."

"You are quite smart, but that will be next year or the year after. Besides, the Whale King went west, but this one is clearly going east, which means it is the island!"

“How can an island float on water?”

on the island.

The round-headed ship waved red and green signal flags to remind the ships ahead to give way.

Due to their size, signal flags are the same as flags.

Long Binglin escorted the Hanbingquan. The moonstone mine alone was more than a thousand meters long. Taking into account the bumps along the way, the remaining ordinary rocks consumed and the ice created by Long Eying to provide buoyancy, the entire length almost doubled to a terrifying two thousand!

two thousand!

Ordinary people standing at the "bow" can hardly see the "stern" at a glance.

The monkeys on both sides of the river kept crying.

Long Binglin was not surprised by the exclamations of the crowd and the avoidance of merchant ships.

After leaving the Seven Guards of Guanxi, the entire Huaijiang River is smooth, with no more canyons or waterfalls. It is a true golden waterway and a territory where Dashun has enough influence. Merchant ships come and go, and the city is bustling all the time, even more lively than the Blue Lake.

"Awesome!"

A white jade frog stood on the bow of the boat, ripples forming on its belly.

Very cool.

Unfortunately.

The big fat boy Black Frog is not here.

I heard that it’s not easy to show up in public after leaving the Seven Guards of Guanxi.

"Brother!" Long Yanrui turned around, "There is a boat approaching below, saying it is from the prefect and officials from the River and Port Bureau, coming to ask us what's going on."

"Let them come up."

Long Binglin took out his badge and recited the script in his mind by heart.

Along the way, whenever he arrived at a new place, he would inevitably alarm the local prefects and state governors, who would rush to inquire in panic, fearing that some unexpected situation would occur under their jurisdiction.

moment.

"It's all right, it's all right!" The official of the Hebo Office jumped off the boat and informed the merchants from all directions, "This is the spoils of war that the Earl of Xingyi brought back from the northwest! A mineral vein!"

Oh.

It turned out to be the spoils of war brought back by Earl Xingyi, a mineral vein.

Everyone was stunned.

The Earl of Xingyi was once a great man who traveled all over the world as a businessman. He was more or less familiar with the heroes from all sides and was not like an ignorant country bumpkin.

A few moments.

"Ok?"

The islands advanced majestically, pressing across the Huai River, and schools of fish fled wherever they went.

……

"Strange, Gatanjea!"

Deep in the blue lake, it is pitch dark.

Giant snails as big as mountains lurk in the shadows, with algae growing all over their shells and schools of fish swimming among them. It is even more spectacular than General Yuan’s Shoushan Mountain and Algae Forest in the past.

Wearing the [Vortex God Armor], King Lu did not find any trace of Liang Qu.

Liang Qu didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Don’t even think about the magical powers of this giant snail. It must be specialized in defense.

After breaking through the second realm, his Qi sea surged to 200 times. After that, he continued to practice, and after half a year, it increased to about 220 times.

If we pour all of it into [Zhan Jiao], can we kill this giant snail directly?
There are many extraordinary aspects of supernatural powers, so don't be careless.

hum.

Ze Ding trembled.
