第1076章 无冕之王，乙木长气（5k4，2合1）
Chapter 1076: The Uncrowned King, Yimu Changqi (5k4, -in-)
Clang clang clang.
The gong sounded.
The mast startled water birds.
The officials of the Huaidong River Port Office were wearing the night sky, holding short clubs and stepping on the gangplank, and they informed the new officials of Donglin one by one: "Lord Ran ordered us to be careful at night and not to sink the anchor. If it sinks, we need to send two people to guard the night! The kitchen has prepared midnight snacks, two buns per person, and they will be delivered after midnight. Do you understand?"
"Clearly understand!"
"No, brother, what doesn't sink? An anchor?" Donglin Xinli was puzzled. "This anchor is on the ship, is it for display?"
The old official from Huaidong was too lazy to explain to the newcomer: "The government sent you here to work, not to collect salary for nothing. Just do what I told you to do, no need to waste time talking! Anyway, be careful. There are stakes on the pier. If you can't do it, tie two more hemp ropes up."
"alright."
The Donglinhebo Station had no experience and started the work in a state of laziness after dinner. They were slow in their pace and some even waved their hands, indicating that they would do it later. The experienced Huaidong had already put away the anchor early, as if there was some ferocious beast in the water that would melt the anchor at the touch of a finger.
Not surprisingly.
into the night.
The empty iron chain drips clear water, shattering the moonlight.
"Oh my god, where is my anchor? Where did such a big anchor go? It was just sinking in the water!" The new official from Donglin turned the capstan and fell to the ground, howling.
"Who stole my anchor? Who stole my anchor?"
A large warship anchor was made of pure iron and was very valuable. It was accidentally lost at the order of the superior, which was enough to leave a "significant" mark on the resume.
The old official from Huaidong laughed out loud.
"I told you to collect it earlier, but you kept dithering! You're in trouble now, aren't you? You'll have to pay at least two months' salary!"
"Young man, take this as a lesson!"
"It was fine the past few days."
"Nonsense, things are different now. They didn't come a few days ago."
"Who?"
Gululu.
A series of ripples rushed and surged, and left in the moonlight.
Eastern region of Jianshui.
There were faint bubbles in the algae. A frog guerrilla carried a large anchor on his shoulder and trained the frog tribe to fly the anchor. When he saw that his men had replaced their weapons, he nodded with satisfaction.
The anchors I picked up during the morning dew in Tianshui are now covered in rust. They are useful but not good-looking. It is a good time to come to judge the water and exchange them for a batch of new ones. My webbed feet feel hot, so it is time to practice frog training vigorously!
Lord Liang from the Hebo Station is really a man of honor. He sank all the things into the water and let the frogs take them. He is worthy of being a friend of the frog clan!
I need to treat Ah Fei to a good meal some other day.
The chain on the big anchor is a bit difficult to deal with.
It is understandable that a small frog with a low level of cultivation needs some effort to tear the chain apart. It is probably because they are afraid that other monsters will come to steal it. It is also a test. A frog that cannot tear the iron chain apart is not qualified to carry the anchor!
In July, the spring buds begin to darken in color.
"Have you finished the sign? No one is allowed to board the ship without the sign."
"Those who get the cards should keep them by themselves. Hunting tigers, wolf smoke and galloping horses are all different. You should recognize the cards but not the people. You are responsible for your own actions."
"Don't think about forging it, the brand is made of spiritual wood!"
Based on the location provided by the old toad, the Hebo Institute and the Frog Clan began to clear the area simultaneously above and below the water.
Many local tycoons in Jianshui heard the news and intended to come and share a piece of the pie and observe the wonders of heaven and earth. Unfortunately, they were not qualified. They had to go to the Donglin River Port to pay for a boat ticket and board the boat of the River Port. Those who went there privately would be warned once, driven away twice, and sunk three times.
If the long qi is monopolized by a certain Zhenxiang family, and others unite and fight, the government...
Jianshui emits long breath.
It not only enriched the pockets of the "few people", but also alleviated the urgent financial needs of the river and lake bureau.
Liang Qu relied on his own ability to find the position, and took a portion of the boat ticket fees to subsidize the river and port offices in return. He raised the banner of the imperial court. It cannot be said that he was wholeheartedly serving the public, but he was simply selfless!
Pay him the boat tickets!
Anyone who sneaks across the river will be thrown into the river to feed the fish!
"From July 11, a curfew will be imposed from 7:30 pm to 7:30 pm for a period of one month... If you are caught and beaten, don't say I didn't warn you!"
The clerk applied paste to the wall with a brush.
The weather was clear and dry soon.
"I'm not used to it."
Liang Qu looked up at the sky.
Located on the Huai River, the plum rain season is a characteristic climate of the lower reaches of the Huai River and Southern Zhili. From the end of June to the end of July, there are continuous clouds and the air is humid and stuffy. Even if you don't sweat, your clothes will still be sticky. In contrast, in Sanshan Prefecture in the middle reaches, the sky is sunny.
People are strange. They feel damp and uncomfortable when they are in Pingyang.
Whenever I go to other places, I always feel that a bit of the Jiangnan charm is missing.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Liang Ashui, ah Liang Ashui, you are out of touch with the masses, do you know that?"
Liang Qu criticized himself.
Why are rainy days so pleasant?
Because wild animals will not come out to hunt on rainy days, it means a sense of security, but more importantly, Liang Qu has the opportunity to enjoy this security.
No need to go out to work in the rain, get covered in mud, have cold pants, and then have to do the laundry when you get home. On the other hand, craftsmen and fishermen will never have the leisure to experience and appreciate the tranquility and comfort of the rain. They still have to worry about the market price of fish, the difficulty of drying wood, and no work to do.
Rumble.
While I was thinking, heavy rain poured down.
It is the rainy season after all, there is no plum rain, but there is heavy rain.
"Well……"
Long Eying turned sideways, humming softly, and clamped the thin quilt between her bare legs.
"What separation?"
"It's okay, go to sleep."
Liang Qu listened to the rain in the house, stroked Eying's smooth back, and his fingers brushed through her black hair.
“Swish, swish…”
Raindrops as big as beans hit the stone slabs, splashing up a smell of damp earth and oil.
The big beaver lay in the new courtyard arranged by Hebo, taking a bite of watermelon on the left and a bite of cantaloupe on the right, looking up to suck a green grape handed to him by his wife, and touching his shiny and delicate big back hair.
Bing Fire Day.
Enjoy your holiday life!
The only one who was busy was Taotaokai.
Ever since Tianshen came to Donglinhebo Office to work, the Otter brothers and their family have been hanging out every few days, staying out the whole day, and no one knows what they are doing.
Reed reed reed!
In the reeds, broken hairs flew everywhere, mixed with green reed leaves and were blown into the mud by the rain.
Taotaokai climbed onto the bow of the sampan and commanded the battlefield from a high vantage point.
Seeing an otter taking advantage of the chaos of the rainstorm to escape, Taotaokai leaped up, grabbed it in mid-air, grabbed it by the scruff of the neck, and pulled the wild otter's head back, with its eyes rolling out.
Looking at the whole life of La La Kai, Scarface, who only inherited Luohan's true teachings, had some abilities. After suffering setbacks, he left Pingyang and became invincible all over the world!
Three days a county, one month a prefecture, one year a lake, all the river otters in the East Region of Jianshui must submit to its tyranny! Otters sing that it is the uncrowned king of the river otter tribe!
Snapped!
He pressed down with his backhand and stepped on its head with his big foot. The otter buried its head in the mud and clenched its hairy claws, feeling extremely humiliated.
“Squeaky, squeaky!”
Taotaokai jumped onto the rock, raised his arms high, and Muyu shouted.
In the reed marsh, river otters are eating salty food!
……
The old toad noticed the strange phenomenon more than two months in advance. If he had returned from the Blue Lake earlier, he might have been able to detect it even earlier. The time from the appearance of the strange phenomenon was shortened to half a month, and the alien species in the water began to react one after another.
Early August.
A red-fire meteor fell into the sea.
The fire that had burned the earth for more than twenty days has dissipated without a trace, and the cool earth air has penetrated the loess.
Otter returns from the battle today, washing off the mud.
Liangqu sat in the government office of Hebo, connecting Zeding.
[If you obtain a wisp of red energy and merge it with the essence of ten thousand water bodies, you will give birth to a spirit fish, which can sublimate and be favored. ]
Inside the Ze Ding, a long red stream of air was flowing, which was extremely magical.
Below, the blue water surges against the walls of the tripod.
[Water Essence: 671,000. ]
After returning from the imperial capital with the reward, the "ransom" of the boar and fox beasts was consumed, and the essence reached 490,000.
In April and May, a small town model and a frog king fish arrived, contributing 15,000 essences.
In June, I visited Kaifangzhu and spent a few days in Kaiyuan Palace, earning 36,000 essences.
In the same month, Quan Linghan, the magistrate of Jiangchuan County and leader of the mermaid tribe, gave fifty mermaid tears and earned 125,000 essences. It was said that he temporarily exchanged them with the mermaids after discussing with the sea merchants. Liang Qu didn't care where the mermaid tears came from, he just wanted to touch the essence of the water.
Finally, it was broken into pieces and soaked in the big lake, absorbing the remaining five thousand.
The lotus seeds of the Dragon Clan mature a little later, taking July and August to mature. They will be shipped out in batches, and will not all be delivered until September. By then, another huge amount of essence worth one hundred thousand will be deposited into the account!
"Six hundred and seventy thousand, a fusion degree of thirty-three thousandths, a little off. If we include the dragon race, it might be around forty..."
Liang Qu tapped the table with his index finger.
Perhaps it is a spiritual connection, the dragon people are busy shuttling back and forth in the dragon people's territory in the Jianghuai Lake.
"Come on, add fertilizer for the last time!"
The third elder, Long Zongyin, was fertilizing the giant lotus. He filled the giant lotus field with daily treasure fish residue, mixed with the essence and blood of dragon people, and top-grade fertilizer fermented with various secret formulas. The fertilizer was then fertilized in the giant lotus field. The entire lotus field was lush and green, and glowing.
In the past, people used blood and essence to catch precious fish in Longping River and Longping River. Strictly speaking, this income has not disappeared, but it has changed to a more gentle and harmless way of existence.
“It’s another bumper year.”
After counting the number of giant lilies, Long Zongyin felt very pleased.
……
"Captain, under the coordination of Lord Ran, the forty-six ships have been counted and fully supplied. The government officials, martial arts students, and ticket buyers are all present, except for... the absent one!" Li Shoufu stepped over the threshold.
"Okay!" Liang Qu opened his eyes, "How about collecting the long-lasting lightning wood?"
"It's this potted plant! There are eighteen in total." Li Shoufu turned sideways.
Two soldiers carried a huge pottery basin, in which a small tree grew, half green and half burnt, full of vitality. According to the old toad's intuition, this trip to collect the long energy of heaven and earth requires a lightning-struck peach wood with vigorous vitality and in the budding period. It is summer now, and the conditions are quite loose.
There are seventeen other plants similar to this one.
Everything is ready.
"Follow the plan!"
"Yes!"
A big gong was struck in front of the government office and the soldiers on the shore waved red and green signal flags.
The wheel turned, the big anchor emerged from the water, and the long sail fluttered.
Forty-six large ships sailed towards the west water.
In the past, morning dew from heaven and water gave rise to a fairy island on the clouds, but now the load of ten large ships is three times more.
Firstly, the ships were of different sizes, and the Jianshui was not as spacious as the Jianghuai ones. Secondly, because they had to bring along a group of martial arts academy students, there were a large number of people and logistics had to be arranged, so the system suddenly became bloated.
Apart from the outstanding students selected from hundreds of miles away and the excellent officials who performed well in Donglinhebo, ordinary students of the martial arts academy can only observe from the periphery, gaining their knowledge but unable to absorb the strange visions and inspirations. They don’t even have to pay for the travel expenses to cross half of the Huaijiang River, as these are all benefits given by the Martial Hall and Huaidonghebo!
"Cool!"
Xu Zishuai, the young dean of the Wu Hall, stood proudly at the bow, leaning on the railing and clapping his hands.
The imperial court established four major martial arts halls after the New Year, which put a lot of pressure on Huaiyin Martial Arts Hall. After all, Scorpion Baba is unique, and cutting it into four parts at once, looking back, is completely unnecessary worry.
Not to mention the official positions in Donglinhebo, other martial arts halls also have the same resources. Unless there is a big explosion in the future and the children of the martial arts academy are worthless, they will always be in high demand.
However, he was removed from office.
Suppress the bandit ghost mother cult, visualize the super-quality pictures, observe the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, and witness the scene of the long qi collection...
Which other martial arts hall can eat so well?
Arrange so many top activities to broaden your horizons?
strength!
"How do you feel? Do you have confidence?"
Xu Zishuai turned around.
At some point, Liang Qu came onto the deck. Beside him, there were more than a dozen outstanding students with excited expressions, including Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen, and Jin Xiaoyu!
These disciples not only observe, but also go deep into the outer circle to feel the rush of inspiration. Among them, Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu have made great progress after being tempered by the visualization diagram, and are preparing to take this opportunity to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop!
"Brother Liang, rest assured, we have it under control!"
Xiong Yiheng was in high spirits.
Ever since they suppressed the Ghost Mother Sect a few years ago and met the Emperor in the capital, their lives have suddenly improved.
Actually, it was good before, but not as good as it is now, so good that it makes people feel dizzy.
Hebo directly extended an olive branch, and the future was settled and had a direction. It was safe and stable. The speed of cultivation not only did not slow down, but it became faster. There was frequent feedback and full of passion.
Of course, the most important thing is grade.
The three of them were extremely grateful that they had entered school early, which gave them a great advantage.
When Pingyang Prefecture was still Pingyang Town, Yang Dongxiong would accept outstanding disciples as his personal disciples and teach them personally on a daily basis. Ordinary martial arts school disciples would call his disciples "senior brothers", and this tradition continued into the martial arts academy period.
It can be transformed into a martial arts hall, but naturally it can no longer be called that, because a few direct disciples alone cannot teach thousands of people. There are many teachers who are not direct disciples. One is called senior brother, and the other is called sir, and the seniority is too confusing.
The Wutang was no longer founded by Yang Dongxiong alone, but was supported by the imperial court.
Therefore, starting from this year, a unified rule has been set that all teachers and students in the martial arts academy are to be addressed as "sir". When accepting new students in the future, they are no longer allowed to address Liang Qu and others as "senior brothers".
Isn't it a special kind of luck for them to take advantage of the early enrollment and keep their titles as seniors?
Liang Qu patted his shoulder and said, "Practice well! You will contribute to Dashun in the future!"
"Don't worry, Brother Liang!"
"Go through fire and water, Brother Liang!"
Snapped!
Liang Qu slapped Xiong Yiheng on the back of the head.
"It's for Dashun, for Your Majesty!"
"Understood! I will go through fire and water for Dashun and His Majesty!"
"Yes, you are energetic, vigorous and aware!"
Liang Qu put his hands behind his back and wandered around like a leader on an inspection tour.
The whole day, he did nothing but wandered around, chatted with a few senior brothers, talked with Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin, and asked the soldiers on the warships whether they had eaten well and slept comfortably, and gave more suggestions and made more progress.
"This kid got promoted and is acting very arrogantly." Ran Zhongshi and Ke Wenbin complained in their hearts.
It was clearly he who did all the hard work of arranging the boats, supplying supplies, arranging seats, collecting gas, and paying wages. When Liang Qu asked around, it seemed like he was the one who did it all.
"Hey, don't worry about these details. I'll put you first later! How about it?" Liang Qu was sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and he put his arm around Ran Zhongshi's shoulders.
"That's pretty much it."
The strange phenomena of heaven and earth are basically useless to Zhenxiang. Wei Lin and Xu Yuelong from Huaidong Hebo did not come. With his prestige and ability, Ran Zhongshi undoubtedly belongs to the first echelon, and it is natural for him to have a good position.
Five days later.
The fleet contacted the frog tribe in the western waters, confirmed the location, sank the iron hooks, and waited for the changes in the world.
Golden eyes ignited.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is unusually rich, and a light green rainbow light that is invisible to ordinary people is spread all over the water area. Judging from the energy and the way it is collected, it is most likely the long energy of the wood element.
On the outskirts of the water area, there were water beasts that were unwilling to give way, and they hesitated and watched, refusing to leave.
The students of the martial arts hall pointed and talked. Although the weather was hot, there was a special kind of excitement in going on a long journey with classmates.
The heaven and earth are full of energy.
Grandmaster Zhenxiang, how high and mighty you are.
When I was at the Liangqu Siguan, I didn't even know there was such a thing as long breath.
evening.
Liang Qu practiced in a quiet room, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon accumulated by the treasure ship of creation.
Li Shoufu knocked on the door and said, "Captain, the Jianshui water beasts have pushed forward a leader and said they have something to discuss."
"The Jianshui monsters..." the voice in the room paused, "Let Ran Zuoling go to meet them. After all, we are here temporarily, so we shouldn't do anything too extreme. Otherwise, we will be the ones who suffer in the end.
Since no one from the Dragon Clan is coming, I have also reserved 10% of the space in advance, and asked Ran Zuoling to offer a lower price, leaving the exchanged resources to the Dragon Clan, and by the way, let the monsters help each other more with the Hebo in the future. "
The reason why the frog tribe was able to monopolize the strange phenomenon in the past was that the southeast water angle was originally the frog tribe’s territory, so it was reasonable for them to monopolize it.
The water is different.
Both humans and frogs are outsiders, occupying the water resources for no reason, so the monsters in the lake must be resentful. The King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. When Liangqu is here, they are patient and do not make any move; when Liangqu is gone, they will inevitably cause trouble. One day they will sneak into the river and hit the embankment to take revenge. Who knows if the dragon will swim into the sea?
On the contrary, if you sell at a certain position, you can make a profit and give yourself a chance.
If the strong monopolize everything, it will cause dissatisfaction. However, if the strong can monopolize everything and give up some of it, it is a favor!
As for who to talk to.
They are just a group of monsters. Liang Qu, the commander of the Huaishui River, has no need to show up in person.
"clear."
Two days later, it was mid-August.
Between the humans and frogs, a group of miscellaneous monsters floated, occupying a narrow corner of the disc.
Central West Waters.
The water waves ripple with a layer of radiant green light, like a piece of flowing jade, and the faint fragrance of plants overflows.
The inspirations of heaven and earth are entangled with each other, and the surging sea is about to create waves.
Eighteen small lightning-struck trees sprouted tender buds, swaying in the wind without any wind, and their growth rate was visible to the naked eye.
Liang Qu's golden eyes were always burning, and he turned around to remind everyone.
“The Vision is Coming!”
"Hurry, hurry, cheer up, cheer up and follow the arranged positions!" Li Shoufu ordered and urged.
The frogs were half floating on the water.
moment.
The big frog that was holding the anchor came swooping over, and the old toad lay dormant on all fours, lying on top of the frog's head, naturally occupying the best position.
Exactly the same way of appearing.
Ran Zhongshi and others looked sideways. They naturally knew what the arrival of the old toad meant, but they never expected that Liang Qu was equally perceptive. It was really touching. Without any delay, everyone went to find their respective positions.
Order amidst chaos.
Beside the old toad, there were the unchanged frog guerrilla and frog lieutenant general. Behind him, Liang Qu also saw two ice jade toads who went with him to drink the moon spring water. They looked around and were very curious.
The new official from Donglin saw the frogs playing with the big anchor and his eyes twitched.
They finally understood where the anchor had gone.
Wait for about half an hour.
The martial arts hall disciples were sweating profusely and dared not blink.
In a trance, they heard the sound of waves surging and the fragrance of green plants under their nostrils became strong!
A burst of green light flashed, the lake water became viscous, and surging inspiration surged out from the green lake and penetrated into the body in strands.
Wow!
On the Jianshui River, the true energy was released. The martial arts academy disciples were dazzled to watch. Then they witnessed the true energy growing at a speed visible to the naked eye and then feeding back into the physical body!
Liang Qu didn't care about these unnecessary ideas.
His attention was entirely focused on the long breath.
Eighteen lightning-struck peach trees sprouted branches, which were densely packed and intertwined. Between the branches, translucent green filaments emerged and were entangled around them, like a unique spider web.
When the spider web is mostly formed, it will naturally gather towards the center.
Liang Qu released the suppression.
Ze Ding trembled.
A wisp of long green air swayed, entangled with the red air.
[If you obtain a wisp of Yi wood energy and merge it with the essence of ten thousand water bodies, you will give birth to a spirit fish, which has mysterious effects.]
【Yi Wood Qi: lush green grass, verdant trees, promotes plant growth, prolongs life, can also be used to sublimate and develop supernatural powers.】
