Chapter 1075: Just endure it for a few more years, immortal, great freedom!
Chapter 1075: Just bear with it for a hundred years, immortal, great freedom! (5k8, two in one)
"Hey! What is there to see? What can you see? The monkeys on the mountain are causing trouble, and I turned around to blow away some dust."
Liang Qu was suspicious: "I have dividends from the plantation, so I have reason to go up the mountain to check if you are deliberately concealing the production of Baozhi! And deducting money privately!"
"Get lost!" The old turtle swung his claws and turned the tables, "Don't think I don't know what you are up to. You must be looking for an excuse to do something bad and come up the mountain to steal my longevity treasure! Back off, back off!"
"Tsk! Old man! You have your own skills, and even a speck of dust on Shoushan Mountain is in your hands. Stealing treasures? If an ordinary person goes up, you will eat them all. If there is one ginseng missing from the mountain, you can scream so loudly that everyone in Pengze can hear it. Your voice is harsher than that of a brothel madam!"
Liang Qu folded his arms.
There is no such coincidence in the world. In the past, there was an algae forest growing under the belly of the old turtle, and its limbs were covered with rocks. It was definitely not an active turtle, and it was normal for it to sleep for several years.
The master who doesn't care about the monkeys making a fuss in the mountains.
As soon as I came, I immediately turned around and blew air to "clean" it up. When the parents came back, the child was wandering around the living room. It was also unbelievable that he explained that he felt thirsty while doing homework and happened to come out to drink a glass of water!
"believe it or not!"
"It's okay if I don't watch it today. I want to get most of the dividends from Chengbaozhi at the end of this year."
"Go find the Lord of the Sea!"
"You are the one who concealed the production volume. You took more and took more. I want what you have!"
“Squeaky, squeaky!”
One man and one turtle were talking nonsense, and the golden-haired monkeys happily welcomed the king's teacher. They rushed down Shoushan Mountain with fruits and vegetables in their hands and held a noisy and warm welcome ceremony.
Seeing that the leading monkey king was covered in sweat and heat, with his hair wet in clumps, Liang Qu took a half step back without making a sound.
"Are you entertaining guests on the mountain? Look how tired the monkeys are. Don't treat them like cattle and horses."
"It's hot, and the monkeys are turning the soil on the hill."
"It smells like oil smoke." Liang Qu controlled the water to wrap the monkeys and spun them around to wash them. "Who are you entertaining? How many dishes are there? Do you have any braised fish in an iron pot? It's a rare visit, why don't you invite me up to sit with you?"
"Humph, Monkey now likes to eat stir-fried dishes. It's a bad habit he learned from you. It has caused a foul smell on my mountain! There are even oil stains on the Shouzhi lid!"
The water flows out and everything dries in an instant without blowing.
Liang Qu reached out and picked up a watermelon, took the wooden spoon to scoop up the meat, and got straight to the point: "Old General, why didn't you tell me when the Time Bug came? It was me who gave it the map to find you. As the saying goes, one should remember the well-digger when drinking water. What you did, old turtle, is not very kind."
General Yuan narrowed his eyes into slits.
"What time bug? What treasure did you find?"
"That's enough. How long do you want to keep it a secret, old general?" Liang Qu curled his lips. "One can tell at a glance that there are other animals besides monkeys on Shoushan Mountain. A tortoise like you, why would you let outsiders stay on the mountain if there is no benefit?
If it weren't for the monkeys who can clean the garden for you, loosen the soil, water the plants, and plant longevity treasures, all of them would have been gone long ago, and those that remain would definitely be of great benefit to you.
Apart from Shichong and Tiemushan who helped me lead the way, how many of them are there in the world? Maybe there are some, and you can run into them if you hide in Pengze?"
Since being promoted to Zhenxiang, Liang Qu has collected three strands of red energy for three years. He collected another one in July this year, which means it is four years. He is not sure when the time worm will arrive.
"Can't Move" comes to fix the [Green Wood Array] every month and has never mentioned it. This shows that the old turtle hid it very well, fearing that he would know it. It was precisely because "Can't Move" had consolidated it in the past two days that he was able to find the old turtle without the help of the old toad.
General Yuan was silent.
Liang Qu grinned: "You are so good at hiding it, are you afraid that I will give it away and take it back?"
The old turtle snorted, "Who can say for sure? If I really don't take it back, you will have to charge an extra 20% rent."
It can sense the difference in attitude between the Time Bug and the "Cannot Move". If the "Cannot Move" fails in its attempt to incite rebellion, there is no need to incite the "Time Bug". It must be held tightly in its claws.
"You've got the wrong person." Liang Qu's expression remained unchanged.
Don't mention it.
He really wanted to collect more dividends when the time comes.
The big pieces of the plantation were taken by the old turtle, followed by the sea merchants who provided seeds and upstream and downstream sales, using their own strength and reputation to ensure safety. Liang Qu and "Buliangdong" did not get much, half each, and only earned more than 100,000 yuan a year.
"I have lived for thousands of years, I know whether I am right or not, I don't need you to teach me."
Liang Qu cursed the old man inwardly, then suddenly had an idea: "Such a precious time insect means it is indeed very useful to you. However, the dividends last year and the year before were roughly the same, both around 300,000, with no obvious difference. Did the old general really conceal the output of the plantation?"
The turtle was furious.
Then came some words that Liang Qu couldn't understand.
Such as "If you haven't seen a time bug, you have a blind spot in your knowledge", "It's just a bug, I thought it was here to loosen the soil", "If you want more, go talk to Umibozu and the Mermaid King", "The land use of the plantation is approaching its limit, and we can't plant more precious plants to break the longevity and treasure cycle. It and the monkey are trying their best to survive."
squeak!
In the cave, insects were crying, and they collapsed on the throne made of yellow gold.
No one in the world is born with knowledge.
When I came out of the Moon Watching Tower in the past, I was ignorant and uneducated. I couldn’t understand what people said or understand hand gestures. I could only play table tennis.
After leaving Liangqu, I experienced many setbacks and wandered around everywhere, and finally formed my own logical system and understood a little bit of the content of language.
I heard the conversation between the man and the turtle.
How sad!
The overlord of Pengze also has to succumb to Liang Qu's tyranny!
I can no longer eat Liang’s cooking.
"Okay, I'm not here to chat with the general today." Liang Qu untied the Qiankun bag at his waist, reached in and fumbled around, grabbing out a life-extending treasure worth 880,000.
There was a faint flash of blood.
A treasure as big as a human head and resembling a silk cocoon appeared in Liang Qu's palm, swaying with the river breeze.
General Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Longevity worm blood cocoon?"
"Oh, the old general is very knowledgeable and knows what's good! This blood cocoon weighs one pound, eight ounces and two cents, which is worth it!"
"Haha, I have lived for thousands of years. There is no treasure of longevity in the world that I don't know!"
"Awesome." Liang Qu gave a thumbs up.
"If you are too nice to me, I'm either a traitor or a thief." The old turtle stared at the blood cocoon of the longevity worm, and lowered his eyes. "Now, what do you want from me? Tell me now."
The longevity worm blood cocoon sounds like a silkworm cocoon and looks similar. It is actually a fungus like Cordyceps sinensis. It can be grown and raised under suitable conditions. It is a top-quality treasure on Longevity Mountain and can be planted in caves.
"An important matter, old general, needs your consent. Today, I will not take a cent of the longevity worm blood cocoon, but will give it to you as a gift. You don't have to keep the part of the plantation dividend that you withheld from me in the future. After the matter is completed, I will give you a generous reward!"
When General Yuan heard this, he was not happy at all. Instead, his heart skipped a beat.
The stingy boy suddenly becomes generous, something is fishy!
Things are definitely not simple.
"You... committed treason?"
"…What the hell?" Liang Qu said angrily. "I was promoted to Marquis of Xingyi at the beginning of this year. The Liang Residence was renamed Liang Mansion. That's great! Maybe next year, I want to ask the old general to help me deal with the dragon."
General Yuan was silent: "What are you thinking about?"
"I have my own ideas."
"How to deal with it? Teach it to suffer a loss? Seize its territory? Take its precious medicine?"
"If possible, kill it in one go!"
"What nonsense are you dreaming about in broad daylight!" General Yuan snorted, "Go back and take a shower, then sleep with your dragon girl in your arms."
Liang Qu said seriously, "Old General, why don't you ask how many monsters we have?"
"All these are just wishful thinking! Wait a minute." General Yuan changed the subject, "I strongly support you. I will give you all the dividends for the next two years. I won't take a penny. But you have to make a will and persuade the Dragon People to move to Pengze.
Don't worry, I will take good care of the dragon girl. It's a pity for your daughter. If you die, she will probably not live alone. Alas, the pearl is covered in dust..."
"..."
“Squeaky, squeaky!”
Rinse it in the water of the Monkey King River, wipe off the dirt in the cracks, and offer the cut sweet melon.
Liang Qu took a bag, and as he had expected, he ate a piece of melon in two bites: "Including the old general, there are five of them. Five against two, is that a problem?"
"Five?" General Yuan was surprised.
"Yeah." Liang Qu directly included Xigui, who had not yet expressed his position.
This is how to attract investment. First you have to give customers confidence. Tell one that the other will come, and tell the other that the first will come. Then the first and the second will come together and the deal will be done.
"You have a lot of connections, you can attract five demon kings, what is your realm?"
"More friends, more rivers, two newcomers, two veterans, and one middle hand."
"Well, a few years ago, I couldn't say it was possible, I could only say there was some hope. Now, I can't say there is no hope at all, I can only say it doesn't exist at all."
Now?
Liang Qu thought of what the old toad had once said.
In the past, the old toad could still make some predictions about the dragon, but now it is all vague.
In recent years, Jiaolong has indeed undergone some key changes.
"Why not kill the dragon and just take away its legacy? Then just run away!"
General Yuan sneered: "You are quite brave."
"Ok?"
"No."
"Old general, are you afraid of the dragon? Or are you afraid that the dragon will get angry and take revenge?" Liang Qu narrowed his eyes.
"Don't try to provoke me. You want to compete with me, a dragon turtle, in cultivating qi?"
Liang Qu was not annoyed: "Just delay for a while, so that I have a chance to sneak into the Dragon Palace. We can talk about success or failure later. Anyway, the dragon probably can't leave the Dragon Palace for too long. Let's bear the pressure together."
"Who are your two veterans?"
"Old General, you and the old general are from the same clan."
"You consider me a veteran?"
"Isn't it?"
General Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "In terms of age, I am your great grandfather, but I don't know about his strength."
"Don't know?" Liang Qu was surprised, "How powerful is the old general? Don't you know it?"
"Of course I know my own strength, but how can I know the strength of others? My practice is very different from others. I have never fought with them, so how can I measure them?"
reasonable.
The old turtle's practice is to retreat and be self-sufficient.
A tiger comes down the mountain. It has never seen other animals and does not know its own position. It may slap others to death with one slap, or it may be slapped to death by others.
It was rare to say so much, so General Yuan explained: "Among the four demon kings of Jianghuai, Jiaolong is already very powerful. The reason why Ironhead Fish supports it is naturally because Jiaolong has the greatest chance of winning, not because of anything else. Jiaolong has the support of Ironhead Fish King, so it no longer needs more supporters. Ironhead Fish King can enjoy the credit of following the dragon alone.
The two of them joined forces a few years ago, and it was no problem for them to fight against five or six mid-level demon kings. Otherwise, other sea demon kings would have gone west to compete for the position of Dragon King. "
The breeze blows on my face.
Liang Qu stroked his chin and thought, "In the past, three Dashun Martial Saints oppressed Jiaolong. Among them, there was a newcomer, a middle-class one, and a veteran..."
"How much do you want?"
"Not a small amount." Liang Qu recalled the harvest and recounted everything the court had gained in the past.
"Hahaha, stupid!" General Yuan laughed contemptuously, "We have a big advantage. We sent out three people, and there are three more standing behind them. If we make someone angry, there are still three more behind them. Anyone would have to stay out of the way.
Secondly, you can show your weakness to the enemy, spend more than a dozen of the elixir of fortune you mentioned, show your rage and frustration, in exchange for the contempt of the imperial court, reduce the difficulty of escaping in the future, and enter the realm of Demon King in one fell swoop. Is there a more cost-effective deal in the world than this?
If you can persuade the imperial court to take action and add fuel to the fire, then I am happy to take this job. It would be a waste if I don’t make money from Shoubao.”
Liang Qu sighed.
He never underestimated the dragon. It is not so easy to snatch food from the dragon's mouth.
However, General Yuan also underestimated him.
Figure it out slowly.
Without the eloquence of a narrator, he did not expect to convince General Yuan in one go and get him to agree so easily. Instead, he was worried that General Yuan might have his own thoughts.
"How has Jiaolong changed in recent years?"
General Yuan flicked his tortoise claws and said casually, "I have done a divination before, it was not clear, but I think I touched a trace of the true dragon spirit, and with the protection of Huaijiang River, I have the ability to be immortal."
Too much information in one sentence.
"Old General knows how to tell fortunes? What is the power of immortality?"
"How fresh! The backs of turtles correspond to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Since they are proficient in fortune-telling, they are not affected much. How do you think I practiced the Twenty-Four Solar Terms? As for the immortality, it is naturally the Huai River that is indestructible and the real dragon that does not die. The Jiaolong may be approaching immortality."
Liang Qu immediately thought of the sacrifice in early June.
[Deeply favored by Jiang Huai, physical strength consumption in water is slightly reduced, magical power consumption is slightly reduced, damage in water is slightly reduced, and recovery in water is moderately increased. 】
Twenty points of favor are so favorable, what about thirty points, forty points or even more? Will the damage in the water be greatly reduced?
It is not surprising that with the help of the Huaijiang River, China has entered a state of pseudo "immortality".
"Then the Dragon Lord is not dead?"
"How do I know whether he is dead or not?"
"The Dragon King disappeared for a hundred years, which is not too long. There is no record of the Huai River stopping flowing."
"There is no such thing as a lock without a key. The saying that as long as the Huai River is not destroyed, the real dragon will not fall is aimed at beings below the level of Dragon King. Who knows what will happen if a Martial Immortal or Demon King of the same level takes action?"
The Monkey King handed over fruits again.
General Yuan felt that the face was familiar for some reason. He took a serious look and said angrily, "I only keep you unlucky creatures at home. Watermelons and cantaloupes are fine as treats, but bring out the precious plants! Huh!"
A breath of air was blown out, and the monkeys rolled on the ground and ran around, screaming and burying the precious plants they had dug out back into the soil in a hurry.
Liang Qu touched the head of the monkey king who was hiding behind him, a little puzzled: "Old General, aren't you in a hurry at all?"
"Urgent? What's the hurry?"
"The Jiaolong is not a wise leader. If he becomes the Dragon King in the future and unifies the martial arts world, wouldn't it be better to live under the dragon's protection?"
General Yuan shook his head: "Summer insects cannot talk about ice. The Dragon Lord and the Dragon King are two completely different beings. The Martial Saint and the Martial Immortal are also two completely different realms. Take Dashun, Beiting, and Nanjiang for example. Do you think that they all have furnaces confronting each other to maintain balance?"
"no?"
"Yes and no. What can greatly influence the situation is the furnace, but it has to be a new furnace!"
"What do you mean?" Liang Qu didn't quite understand. "General, why don't you make your words clearer?"
"You have been practicing for so long, and you should know the concept of 'origin'. You know that the higher your realm is, the fewer precious plants will be useful to you. If you eat ordinary precious plants now, will they have any effect on you?"
"No."
Apart from the essence of the water, Liang Qu now eats the same thing as ox-horn pomfret and ordinary grass carp.
"Ben" is similar to the Mohs hardness. When the hardness is too high, diamond cannot leave a scratch and affect it.
In fact, General Yuan's practice mode is similar to his. He relies on his own magical powers to make ordinary longevity treasures as effective, but his efficiency is not as good as his.
“Because of this, when they reach the realm of the Crucible Martial Immortal, there is nothing in the world that can have an ‘influence’ on them.
Baozhi? No matter how good the Baozhi is, it is no different from the rice and flour you eat at home, except for the taste.
Treasure mines? Most martial saints refine their own weapons, not to mention furnaces. Even the most powerful ores cannot create magical weapons on their bodies.
The only weapons that can damage the furnace are the immortal weapons refined by the furnace itself.
External objects are all useless. Under all these circumstances, the furnace's state of existence is close to 'no desire'. You humans call the furnace Wuxian, firstly as a respectful title, and secondly because the furnace's state is almost the same as that of an immortal, floating in the air."
"Old General, isn't this kind of life boring?" Liang Qu joked.
"Haha, you are so magnanimous! Ordinary people would never have such thoughts.
However, such practice is indeed boring, so I said "close to no desire". The five flavors of the furnace are still there: sour, sweet, bitter, salty, and fat. It doesn't matter what you eat, but there is a difference between delicious and not. Watching the world move forward and create more delicious food is indeed a kind of pleasure.
Therefore, newly-established melting pots often like to make drastic changes, but over time, hundreds or thousands of years, the melting pot will gradually not care about many things. The most typical example is that no matter how much territory a dynasty occupies, it is useless because there are no resources in the world that can help them. Wherever they go, they are treated like their own home, and everyone is in awe of them. "
An old house where a treasure.
Thousands of years were not lived in vain.
General Yuan's narration opened the door to a new world for Liang Qu, a completely different perspective of thinking.
“The reason why newcomers to the melting pot have a big impact on the pattern is often because they are influenced by their descendants and their own inertia.
When your descendants have multiplied for more than a dozen generations and a "relative" you have never seen before emerges, when you realize that external things are useless, your intervention in the world will begin to decrease, and the key to influencing the dynasty's structure will fall back on Yaolong.
In the past, the Dragon King liked to trade with humans, not because it was beneficial to him, but because he liked the new things made by humans and enjoyed it; the Whale King of the East China Sea loved to travel and also enjoyed it, so when I gave him a colorful treasure tree, the Dragon King would reward him with essence and blood, because he liked novelty. "
Immortal.
Being free does not mean having no desires.
Really cool and free!
Liang Qu longed for it.
"So, if Jiaolong really becomes the Dragon King, he will show off his might in the early stage. At worst, I can go and beg King Xigui. King Xigui is on good terms with the imperial court, and then I can ask you to use Dashun Furnace to talk to Jiaolong. Then Jiaolong will be helpless. I can endure for hundreds or thousands of years until Jiaolong doesn't care anymore, and then everything will be fine!"
After hundreds or thousands of years...
The longevity species is really amazing.
"The furnace... is that so kind?"
"It's not that difficult. The Furnace has lived too long, and some of them like to uphold justice and don't like to fight outside and cause great suffering. Of course, you have to have a relationship with them first. After all, I and Xigui are from the same tribe, so I have a say."
"Why?" Liang Qu didn't quite understand.
“I often think that it’s the same reason why people don’t like to stay in a closed and dark environment where they can’t communicate, right?
Of course, in a word, I am not a furnace, so the details may be ambiguous." The old turtle stared at the blood cocoon of the longevity worm and drooled.
Liang Qu was speechless. He stretched out his hand and threw the longevity treasure to it.
"Hey, I didn't agree! You wanted to give it to me." The old turtle hurriedly put it away and stuffed it into the cave.
"It's okay, take your time, see you later."
If you want to take it, you must first give it to it.
I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf.
Liang Qu felt that what the old turtle said was very likely true.
He went to school and did well in school.
Matter determines consciousness.
When material is extremely abundant, it will promote the development of spiritual state and moral level.
The power of the furnace has indirectly achieved this great abundance, unless one is born bad, but it is unlikely that one can cultivate to this level.
Society is a collective way of existence. The collective cannot tolerate instability and will "reject" it. It will always "reject" the bad seeds at some point.
Liang Qu jumped into the water and disappeared.
The monkeys hooked their tails together, the branches swayed, and their tears fell into the river.
The insect came out of the cave, poked its head out, and was about to come out.
Wow.
Liang Qu made a sudden comeback, half submerged in the water: "Don't let the time insects torment my monkeys and grandchildren, that's enough."
"I know, I know. We'll talk about it another day."
"Row."
The monkeys burst into tears.
half an hour.
The old tortoise twisted his longevity treasure, and was overjoyed. When he saw the worm retreat, he waved his claws and said, "Come out, everyone has run away."
The insect was overjoyed and jumped out of the cave, raised its limbs, and was about to ask the Monkey King to serve him food.
The Monkey King stood proudly on the mountain top with his arms folded.
Liang Mansion.
Liangqu bathed in the setting sun, emerged from the pond, and parted with the green-eyed snails and lotus leaves.
Long Eying sat in the pavilion and asked with concern: "Did General Yuan agree?"
"No, it asked me to go home, take a shower and then hold you to sleep." Liang Qu said honestly.
"What should we do?"
"If you don't listen to the old turtle, you will suffer. Listen to its advice first and then go back to persuade it."
With a soft cry, Liang Qu picked up Long Eying by the waist.
Sleepy!
The big beaver was carving a blueprint, baring his shiny front teeth, glancing at the setting sun in the sky, silently calculating the time of Binghuo, flapping his flat tail, and looking a little excited.
It’s almost time, there are a few more days of Bing Fire and it will be summer vacation again.
Bashi~
The weather is hot and a long storm is about to appear.
Huaidong and Jianshui dispatched ships in an orderly manner, and the frog tribe also selected the best fighters in the tribe and rushed to Jianshui.
