Chapter 1074: Low-level long breath, longevity insect blood cocoon, time and fate (two in one)
Crackling.
The waterfall was pouring down, the lotus flowers were in full bloom, and clusters of green-eyed snail flowers were dotted among the green lotus leaves. An old toad was lying in the middle of the pond, on top of a round rock, with his round belly and his limbs spread out.
The water was rippling, and two little river otters squatted on each side, circling around with their four paws, taking turns slapping the toad's paws. The sounds were crisp and the rhythm dynamic.
Refreshing!
"Frog!" Liang Qu bowed respectfully, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much! Whenever I think of you, I always dream about you! I see you today, and you are still as majestic and elegant as a jade tree in a forest of jade."
"Quack!" the old toad exhaled and shouted, "Liang Qing is the humerus! The pillar! The frog's confidant!"
The familiar feeling, the familiar taste, still so elegant, so sincere and heartfelt, a clear stream among the frog clan.
I'm home!
Everyone is back!
The moon is brighter in my hometown, and the frogs are my dearest relatives.
Compared with the cold and quiet Blue Lake, the bustling and prosperous Jianghuai River is indeed warmer to the frog's heart!
"Frog has traveled a long way and worked hard. I wonder when he will return?"
"It was around yesterday evening when I joined the vanguard of the Ice Jade Toad Clan. There were too many frogs, so it was not easy to take the water route openly. It took us three months to travel from Blue Lake to Jianghuai." The old toad held the reed in his mouth, sucked the watermelon juice in his hand dry, and threw away the rind.
The little river otter leaped into the air, turned three and a half times in the air, caught the fish steadily, put it on his head and took it to the kitchen, where it mixed it with the kitchen waste. These were all good things to feed the chickens.
Liang Qu understood.
First go back to the frog tribe, then come to the pond. You must have collected a lot of treasures and put them in the yellow leather bag when you go back, for fear that outsiders will covet them.
He bowed again.
"The Frog King has devoted his life to the frog tribe, and the Blue Lake group has lost weight!"
"Quack, have you lost weight?"
The old toad touched his belly, pinched it to reveal several layers of skin and flesh, and his thoughts drifted away.
It had not originally thought that the Ice Jade Toad Clan had free food and drink, but Liang Qing said so, so it must have lost weight. It was really because of the Frog Clan that it had too many thoughts and worries, and its income was not enough to make ends meet!
The frog tribe misunderstood it!
Liang Qu asked Jiang Otter to take another watermelon, patted the bottom with his palm, brushed off the black seeds and handed it to the old toad: "Frog, how do we solve the environmental problems of the Ice Jade Toad tribe? They like cold weather, will they have trouble adapting to the climate in Jianghuai?"
"If there are monsters, they will naturally affect the environment and transform it into a cold water pond. Oh, these are mostly trivial matters. Shuangli has already agreed. You can discuss how to move and how long to move. I came back to find you this time, going downstream, and I found an unexpected surprise!"
An unexpected surprise for Duobao Toad?
Liang Qu did not dare to neglect: "I am all ears."
The old toad held a river otter on each foot, stood with its webbed feet, and whispered in someone's ear.
"There are treasures in Jianshui Lake!"
"The long energy of heaven and earth?"
"Eh!" The old toad was surprised and thought for a while. Then he suddenly realized something and praised, "Liang Qing has been following the frog tribe for a long time. You have absorbed a little bit of my wisdom? You are really the best choice for the next elder!
Although there is no precedent for someone to serve as our clan elder, considering Liang Qing's loyalty, our guild will nominate you a hundred years later!"
A super big pancake is stuffed into the mouth.
Liang Qu took two bites.
It’s not difficult to guess what the treasure is.
Given the old toad's temper, how could anyone else get the good stuff?
There are two situations. Either it is like Meng Baihuo, where the thing is in the hands of a powerful person and you cannot "steal" it; or it is like Tianshui Chaolu, where the demon clan has no use for it and you sell it to the dragon people to make a profit.
The overall strength of the Jianshui monster clan is average. Big Fat and Second Fat, together with their webbed feet, lead the frog guerrilla warfare, which is enough to sweep away all the heroes. Moreover, with the vastness of the Huaijiang River, they have plenty of inspiration, and it is normal for them to emit a few wisps of heaven and earth energy every now and then. Anyway, they will not lose money if they guess wrong.
"Superior and inferior? What is the purpose?"
"Low or medium, the effect is unknown. I rarely go to water to judge. Frogs are unfamiliar with the land and are not sensitive to the local qi. However, the qi carries strange phenomena of heaven and earth."
"What's the price?"
"What's the price? It's so unpleasant. We have a ten-year friendship that transcends race, but your words are as cold as the blue water of a lake." The old toad was dissatisfied. "I am looking for treasure and it's about fate. I don't like ordinary people. How could I give him information?"
"Yes, yes, it's my fault."
Back then, the Dragon Clan sent you boxes and boxes of treasures for a ray of morning dew, and now you're planning to sell the news to me...
Liang Qu secretly complained.
Relying on the axis of heaven and earth, he can sense the flow of qi in heaven and earth and judge whether there is long qi appearing in a certain place. The old toad is different from him. It is the key to finding "a certain place".
If you spend another ten days or half a month and search patiently around Jianshui, you should be able to find it before the Changqi appears.
However, this is not the way to go.
Frog is naturally sensitive and always suffers losses. I won’t play with you in the future.
It's not worth it to turn a long breath into a one-time deal.
[You can consume ten spirit fish and one point of ruling degree to advance the Vortex Palace and seize the supreme domain of Huaiwo Water Lord in advance - Zeguo (fake) (small)! ]
[You can consume a spirit fish to transform the Water Dragon Spear into a Water Dragon Piercing the Clouds...]
[You can consume a spirit fish to transform the vortex waterway into a vortex escape path...]
Spiritual fish, spiritual fish, all spiritual fish.
I really need the long-lasting energy of heaven and earth.
The third elder, Long Zongyin, also needs a promotion to prolong his life as soon as possible.
This year's dew seeds, red air, and the Tianshui morning dew that will take shape, plus the frog's intelligence, if you're lucky, you can earn four shares at one time!
"The position of the long breath plus the method of subduing it, a low-grade medicine, this number!" The old toad raised Liang Qu's forearm and flipped it once with his forehand and backhand.
It originally wanted to lift its own, but then it suddenly remembered that it only had four toes on its forelimbs, while Liangqu had five, and it could get two more if it flipped over.
"Too expensive. One strand of inferior long qi plus a method is worth at most five portions of inferior great medicine."
"It's the court's account! Liang Qing didn't pay for it, so why are you so ungrateful? That long breath brings about a vision of heaven and earth! A vision! How many people can practice cultivation and how many people can attain enlightenment! If you use a great medicine to measure it, you will alienate the value of the vision, do you know?"
"The court can only provide three copies at most. I'm providing five copies. I'm helping the elders!"
"..."
Repeated sawing.
"Five portions of inferior medicine, Jianshui, I'll make the decision, dig a pond of 300 mu for Frog, and plant it with lotus! Outside, build a bamboo forest, a winding path, and I'll build a secret waterway! Come and go freely! Even if Frog raises a family outside, heaven and earth will know, you and I will know!"
The river otter tapped its webbed back, and the eavesdropping little mirage dragon nodded repeatedly.
Heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know.
Unable to move, the little hedgehog yawned and blocked his ears, pretending to rest.
The big beaver was chewing the wood, working hard, and it really didn't hear anything.
"Ahem, what are you talking about!" The old toad refused righteously, "I am the most affectionate person in Jianghuai, why do I need to keep a concubine? I am here to expand the territory for the frog tribe, surround the big lake on the shore, and establish a second base!"
"Yes, yes, yes. The frog spits out food, and the whole world is at peace."
The old toad's eyes rolled.
Just when they were worried about the Ice Jade Toad Clan moving in, the few members of the Ice Jade Clan were already stretched to the limit, and the encounter with the Beautiful Frog was a life-and-death situation. Thinking of its romantic life, it jumped into the swamp with a splash in excitement.
"Liang Qing, go get the medicine quickly. I'll let you know when you get it!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Frog. I'll come get it tomorrow."
Things are different now. Five portions of inferior medicine are nothing. Pingyang Prefecture, as a maritime merchant base, has established a treasure house early on and has a large inventory of medicine. We only need to find Su Guishan to stamp it. With the guarantee of the two of them, it can be approved directly without reporting it. We can just explain the reason afterwards.
into the night.
The rain continued to fall, blowing through the forest and hitting the leaves.
Peace amidst the hustle and bustle.
Candlelight flickers.
Liang Qu and Long Eying sat opposite each other, sharing a desk, and could hear each other's breathing.
One writes the album, and the other accompanies him in checking the accounts.
All matters concerning the major lakes need to be arranged, especially the paralysis of Jianshui River. Lack of money is a major problem. The confiscated stolen money must be put into the warehouse and cannot be used. In addition, how to arrange the observation of the strange phenomena in the sky and the earth, and who to arrange to observe, also need to be considered.
In the past, Liang Qu relied on his achievements to get others to give him face so that he could stand in the front row. Now, whoever he wants to be first can be first.
Power
After finishing the two books, Liang Qu opened his own personal notebook to record his recent gains and sort out his thoughts.
"First, the dragon walks on the water. Its ritual is suspected to be to move the ice spring across the river, bright as the sun. It is suspected to be the key to transforming the favor of Jianghuai into the ruling degree. Is it the same as the blood sacrifice of the Blue Lake in the Great Snow Mountain to induce the fruit of the drought demon?"
“The more blood sacrifices there are, the easier it is for the drought demon to appear, so the court wants to remove the hidden assassins.
The more favor I give, the easier it is for the dragon to get the Dragon Lord Fruit? So the more favor I give, the more anxious the dragon becomes, worrying that the Dragon Lord Fruit will fall into the hands of others? "
"For the status to appear in the world, a specific ceremony is required (doubtful)." "Second, Frog Lord and Sea Lord are determined to fight two against two. We can't afford it. We'd better disband as soon as possible. Xigui's attitude is ambiguous. Long Binglin said that the progress is gratifying. He doesn't care about his life and can barely give it a try. General Yuan... old thing, he won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit. Fortunately, I am also..."
No matter who your parents are, you have to give others either immediate benefits or future benefits.
Liang Qu also likes to ask for benefits when doing things.
"The Tianbo auction will be held on June 18th. Let's see if there are any treasures that can prolong life. Let's go see the old thing. Jian Zhongyi bought the Wansui Immortal Vine in the past for half a million. The old thing is stronger and costs more. I want to buy some during the New Year. I have 360,000. My salary for April and May is 16,000..."
I was thinking about giving a gift and asking Turtle to do something for me.
Wow~
There was a faint sound of silk rubbing against each other from under the table, like someone taking off boots.
Before Liang Qu could react, a delicate and cool touch stepped on his knee, pressing his thigh and sliding all the way inside.
Her lower abdomen was stepped on by feet and wrapped in black silk stockings.
While lightly pressing on the sole of your foot, rotate your ankle and make circles with your toes in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction.
"Well……"
The aroma penetrated into his nostrils. Liang Qu straightened his back and wrapped his big hands around the sole of his foot. "Madam, what are you doing?"
Long Eying closed the account book, picked up the lotus leaf boots under the table, put them together and put them aside, drawing circles with her toes under the table, and her expression was calm, as if nothing unusual happened: "You look so worried, you have been like this since the New Year."
"Is there any?"
"Yes." Long Eying nodded.
"It's difficult." Liang Qu put down his pen and rubbed his feet. There were too many things to be done in a year. He had to take into account the Blue Lake and the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers. As summer approached, he had to guard against floods in the Huaihe River.
Long Eying held her chin with her hand and said, "It's impossible to do anything. You and I will go and live in seclusion. It doesn't matter whether it's the Dragon Palace or not. The Dragon People can go anywhere. Can a dragon get into the Vortex Palace?"
hiss!
My heart is beating hard!
There is the Vortex Palace and a wisp of red air every year. Slowly the magical powers are opened up and the swampland is opened. Liangqu can indeed lie flat. It takes decades to build and accumulate slowly.
After all, there is still a lack of security. If you want to take control of the future, which is more stable and secure, then you have to slay the dragon, quell the flood, and become a hero. This is somewhat like "asking for trouble."
After all, the experiences are different.
Yu Long'eying spent the first half of her life wandering around, and her outlook on life and the world was completely fixed. After she was thirty-six years old, she met Liang Qu, and her life became stable and comfortable, which were already the best days for her.
Liang Qu was different. He was not a fisherman who lived a life of hunger and hunger in the first half of his life!
However, after Long Eying's guidance, the psychological pressure was indeed greatly reduced.
"How much money do you have there?"
"Five hundred and sixty-three thousand six..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Liang Qu pulled at her toes and rubbed off the shark silk to stop her from talking. "Not counting what Master's Wife and the Great Elder gave you, there are also the expenses of the mansion in the past six months. How much is that?"
Apart from the Yuequan water, Liang Qu's other large and stable sources of income include salary, rice frog and rice leech medicinal fields, and General Yuan's plantation. The plantation was the profit distributed to the sea merchants after deducting various costs, while the profit from the medicinal fields and plantation was all given to Long Eying.
However, the only ones that generate income are plantations.
Water animals, one hundred per animal per month, each small river otter, small beaver, small river porpoise five taels, some slightly higher, twenty. Golden tigers, eighty per animal, hedgehogs, one hundred, rain and dew, all equally.
Long Yao and Long Li each earn three hundred yuan a month, and Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang make dozens of dollars in total.
This is a high expenditure of more than two thousand taels per month, not including daily necessities and meals.
The government's expenses were basically covered by the income from the medicine fields.
The year before last, when the Hanging Temple bought anthropomorphic sculptures for water beasts, Long Eying gave him more than 30,000 taels. Liang Qu thought that the elder loved his granddaughter, but later he found out that it was actually the red envelope given by Xu, five sixes, most of which was given to him!
shame!
Later that year, General Yuan's plantation happened to mature, and dividends were distributed one after another. Apart from the half that belonged to the general and "could not be touched", the rest was managed by Long Eying.
"Just over 320,000."
"Give me two hundred and fifty thousand."
"Ah."
……
"Manager Zhu, are there any precious materials for prolonging life at this year's auction?"
Zhu Bingcan, the manager of Pingyang Tianbo Tower, bowed and said, "Yes, thanks to your Excellency, Pingyang Prefecture has been rising steadily, especially the maritime merchants. Many of the prefectures and prefectures have come to us, so the auction items are naturally rising in price."
"How does it compare to the Wansui Immortal Vine from a few years ago?"
"Even better! The Wansui Immortal Vine can extend the lifespan of ordinary people by eight years, while the Perfect Vine can only extend the lifespan by three years. This year, there is a longevity insect blood cocoon, which is half insect and half fungus. It is one of the last few fine items to be auctioned this year. It can extend the lifespan of ordinary people by more than 30 years, as if they were reborn, and the Perfect Vine can extend the lifespan by five years! That means you are a Martial Saint..."
"How about the Martial Saint?"
"A few days?" Manager Zhu boasted in a vague tone.
Liang Qu understood.
Authenticity not guaranteed.
Fortunately, General Yuan has a special method. He practices the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" and uses his own abilities to extract the essence, which can be used even when the amount of ordinary longevity treasures is large.
The three-year-old Wansui Xian Vine costs forty-eight. Not including the Martial Saint, even if it is based on a linear ratio, the five-year-old should cost eighty. The actual price can only be higher, not lower.
I have 700,000 yuan in my hands.
Almost.
"There's no need to move the Moon Spring Water for sale. We have some ready-made."
At the river bank, the old toad went into the treasure house and selected with great joy, carrying away five portions of inferior medicine, and urged Liang Qu to go and identify the water and dig a pond.
"Don't eat too much of one fish, Mr. Frog."
"sure."
……
The Huaidong river and lake, the Jianshui river and lakes, the four major river and lakes in the southeast, northwest, and northeast.
"Brothers, sign up for the Heaven and Earth Vision! Sign up for the speed of tempering your true energy! Selling at a low price!"
"30,000 for the front row of the tiger hunting? 6,000 for the wolf smoke? Damn, why is it so expensive?"
"It's not expensive at all. Jianghuai was this expensive back then. Don't talk nonsense. Look for your own reasons. Has your salary increased over the years? Has your official position been promoted? Have you worked hard? Be loyal to His Majesty!"
"If the people of Jianshui can't afford it, don't squeeze in! Let us Jianghuai people go first! We Jianghuai people have money!"
In the past, Xu Yuelong and I divided the profit into 30% and 70%, and Liang Qu got 30%, so we got 200,000 taels in total, and the total amount was more than 66.
What I have got now is definitely more than 30%, but I can't take it all. First of all, the missing five major medicines in the treasury must be made up, and this can be filled with a wisp of inferior long energy.
Liang Qu had observed earlier that he should be able to extract two long strands of air.
Su Guishan, who jointly approved the application, accounted for 30%, and Xu Yuelong accounted for 20%. In the past, everyone worked together, so they couldn't say that they were successful. But when they looked back at the same situation, they kicked people out and worked on their own.
Not fair.
The frog tribe is estimated to still occupy the same share, and maybe some local water beasts will join in the fun. If the dragon tribe is included, the vacancies will not be much different from the past. If they are too crowded, they will lose inspiration.
Do the math.
"Hey, I didn't make much, how about an extra 20%?"
Liang Qu scratched his head.
Fortunately, I got 300,000 yuan, which was free money and not a loss.
The old toad is as powerful as ever. It was observed more than two months in advance, and the phenomenon will appear around early August.
Collect the money first, then participate in the auction.
Longevity worm blood cocoon, 880,000, a lucky number, get it!
Pengze.
The stove is red hot, the fire is blazing, and a lot of oil is put into the pot.
As the weather got hotter, the Shoushan Monkey King hung his tail and sweated profusely as he fed the insects with fried precious plants. His golden hair stuck together in clumps.
Suddenly, a familiar energy appeared in the water.
The Monkey King was overjoyed and screamed loudly.
"General Yuan, I'm here to see you! It's been a long time since we last met, I missed you so much!"
The devilish sound pierced his ears. In the cool cave, insects chirped sharply. He subconsciously ran out of the cave. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer the same as before. He stopped and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
Time is also destiny.
Rely on the overlord of Pengze for thirty years in the east, and thirty years in the west. Don't bully the poor when you are poor!
We have to let him cook two dishes!
Wash away the humiliation!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and before he knew it, the insect jumped out of Shoushan Mountain, showing off its might.
General Yuan realized that something was wrong and quickly blew away the insects into the cave.
"Hey, old turtle, you are so mean that I brought a gift today. What good thing are you hiding? Let me see!"
