Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 843: Urgent Needs

"Is this true? Did they split the sun down? Did you drink too much in broad daylight?"

"Don't disbelieve it, I saw it with all my heart, and now I'm crying when I look at the sun!"

"I think the three families were all dumbfounded. They didn't expect to lose so easily."

"Not necessarily. You didn't go and see it. The scholars invited by the three families were writing very enthusiastically. The Earl of Xingyi just said a few words and he copied them out like flowers. He wanted to hang a sign around his neck and parade through the streets."

"It's incredible, why is the gap so big?"

"There are always people who are better than you. I heard that the three families begged for this opportunity to compete with each other with great difficulty! The disaster relief grains with blue flags in several counties a few days ago were obtained in this way. In addition, when the mountains were closed a month ago, hunters within a radius of several miles were not allowed to go. The three families have done so much, but for this, they still have to rely on others' wishes!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tens of thousands of dan of fine rice. Is it worth the price for just a few words?"

"Who knows..."

"Fame and fortune, fame and fortune. Fame and fortune are all good."

"You are always boasting and waving your flag. Why don't you tell me clearly what benefit you get?"

"Isn't this simple? Uncle Liu from Murakami was not famous when he was an apprentice. He had no work for half a year and almost starved himself to death. Later, he did two good jobs and became famous. Everyone in the surrounding area came to find him. He had three sons and two daughters. Isn't his life good?"

The grass on the ridges of the fields was lush and green. A few men, their trouser legs covered in mud, were squatting and talking nonsense with two grass stems in their mouths.

Emotions need to be placed, and life needs entertainment.

Even in a wealthy family with plenty of food and clothing, in addition to chicken, duck, fish and meat, the dinner table still needs two plates of seasonal vegetables, otherwise they will not be able to defecate.

Xihefu had just recovered from a serious illness, and the villagers were in extremely low spirits. They were very happy to hear about the three local heroes competing with Xingyi Bo, who was rumored to be "the best in the world".

The huge martial arts arena, which was 100 meters by 100 meters, was split into two halves for seven or eight days. The discussion not only did not stop, but became more and more intense. From why the dragon Liang Qucheng had wings to what he looked like, a small point could make people argue so hotly and attract a large crowd to make a fuss.

This will dilute the sad and gloomy atmosphere and add a bit of vitality.

It can be seen that the custom of holding grand festivals after disasters is not without reason.

Wow!

The otter emerged from the water and lay on its back.

It lowered its head and bit off the head of the fish in its arms, then used its claws to clean out the fish's internal organs. It ate while floating, savoring the food carefully.

If you eat too much cooked food, you will sometimes miss the taste of raw food.

"Captain! After we finish eating this fish, let's go back!" Long Pingjiang waved at the bow.

The otter waved its paw to indicate its understanding, nibbled the fish clean in a few bites, dropped the fish tail, grabbed the harness rope and climbed upwards, shook its tail to get rid of the water stains, and called out a few times. The little river otters in the cabin followed suit and each did their job.

"Chirp!"

A black swallow with a scissor-tail landed on the windowsill, tilted its head and chirped softly, interrupting the writing brush.

Liang Qu put down his pen and ink and stared for a moment. The black swallow flapped its wings and flew over the water.

"It's white."

There are twelve months and twenty-four solar terms in a year. In addition to the twenty-four solar terms, there are seventy-two seasonal divisions. There are three seasonal divisions of White Dew. One is the arrival of wild geese, the second is the return of black birds, and the third is the gathering of birds storing food.

It will come out at the end of July and will be completed in mid-September.

Before we knew it, summer had passed again.

“Busy…”

After the competition a few days ago, the three families held a banquet. At that time, the support from Pingyang Prefecture was basically coming to an end. Yesterday, the prefect held another banquet to reward the soldiers, and it was completely declared over. Xiang Fangsu, Ke Wenbin and others extorted a meal from Liang Qu, and hurried to Pingyang Prefecture this morning.

Just like last time, Weihuohu and Haiyaksha arranged to pick up the mermaid.

It's time for him to go back.

Liang Qu held the dry brush, folded the letter and stuffed it into the envelope.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Ze Ding trembled.

[Entering Huaijiang River for the second time, river favorability +0.1315]

[River Favor: 14.3379]

"what?"

Liang Qu stood there in a daze.

……

"Auntie, walk... walk slowly, I, I can't crawl anymore."

In Donghao County, a strong woman was walking with big strides, while a young girl behind her was panting heavily with her cheeks flushed with heat.

In the middle, there was a woman in simple clothes. She had a pretty face and fair skin. She didn't look like a farm woman at all. She looked more like the wife of a wealthy family. She had a bamboo basket across her arm, and a layer of light was shining on her sweaty neck. Her hair was stuck to her forehead. She was obviously very tired, but she didn't complain at all and silently gritted her teeth to persevere.

Hearing the girl's call, the strong woman paused for a moment.

Until noon.

The three of them and their two guards climbed to the summit along the rugged dirt road.

Passing through the woods, what comes into view is a deep pit of several acres. In the pit there is a clear spring with a visible bottom. Several newly released koi fish are swimming quietly in it. Outside the spring there is a simple small temple with a strong smell of paint, which shows that it was built not long ago.

Several hunters were knocking on the door frame of the small temple, and they were not surprised by the people coming to worship.

Three people stepped over the threshold.

The woman put down the bamboo basket, lifted the blue cloth, and took out leeks and eggs, boiled shrimp, winter mallow, and fried meat with water celery from the basket one by one...

They are all dishes used for sacrifices.

It was placed neatly on the table. A strong woman, a woman and a young girl held long incense sticks, inserted them into the incense burner, knelt on the cushion, kowtowed respectfully, closed their eyes and prayed.

Green smoke curls up.

The center of the temple.

The blue dragon is winding, and the tall young man holding a spear is wearing a military sleeve, and his heroic appearance is blurred in the smoke.

On top of the beams.

The little mirage dragon put all four claws on the ground and turned around, reporting back everything it saw and heard.

……

"So that's how it is." Liang Qu suddenly realized.

The hunters in the countryside built a temple for him, but the favor he showed was not as much as last time.

Are there too few people?

The ceremony of inviting monkeys into the temple in Xiangyi County was indeed much grander than that of this small temple in the mountains.

I don’t know how long it can last.

Liang Qu was quite happy, and hoped that this small temple would not become dilapidated and forgotten after ten or twenty years, and would collapse and be buried in dust.

……

"Madam, would you like to be a temple priest?"

The hunter was shocked and looked the woman up and down. Her hands were not calloused and her skin was fair. She should be in her thirties, no younger than a girl in her teens. She must have come from a wealthy family.

However, I don’t know if there are women serving as temple priests in other places, but there is no precedent in Donghao County.

Will it be taboo?

The woman handed over a silver note worth one hundred taels.

Well.

The hunter was silent.

The Dragon King and his sons are all boys, maybe they need a maid to serve them?
……

The treasure ship braved the waves and reached a certain place where there was no one on board. Liang Qu manipulated the water flow and the entire treasure ship sank into the water and moved close to the shore.

The waters near Xihe Prefecture are called Beishui, which belongs to the territory of iron-headed fish. The last time Liang Qu returned to Cangzhou from the imperial capital, he had a shadow in his heart, and the assassin who came here made him even more alert.

Caution is the boat……

Hululu.

[Water travel] started, and the big ship sped like lightning underwater, leaving behind a large white stream.

Some corner.

The fleets on the river and the harbor are flying flags.

The two ironhead fish swung their tails, looked around, and continued to share the fish.

I've been out here for half a month, but there's no benefit at all. I still have to take care of my own food, so why should I take it so seriously?

A few days passed in a flash.

The big black dog swung its furry tail, as strong as a calf and more powerful than a tiger, jumping left and right excitedly, and when the treasure ship docked, it leaped onto the deck.

"Hey! Oolong!"

Liang Qu held Wulong's dog head, rubbing it with one hand and raising it with the other to prevent the saliva from getting on his face.

"Mr. Liang!"

Liang Qu turned around and said, "Uncle Fu! Are you going to work?"

"That's right, there's another big job today."

"That's a good thing."

"Oh, it's all thanks to Mr. Liang."

"I was wondering why Wu Long came to the pier today, so happy, thinking he had picked up a big bone!"

"Nonsense, if you go to pick up bones, even Mr. Liang's dog won't do it."

"Hahaha."

The villagers joked around and spread the good news of Liang Qu's return by word of mouth.

There was a lot of laughter.

Liang Qu rummaged through his pockets, threw out some change and went to the teahouse: "It's been a long time since we last met. Let me treat you all to some tea."

"it is good!"

Cheers like thunder.

The otters lined up in a long line and passed through the street.

Taotao opened the gate and rushed into the courtyard carrying a bag half a person's height.

"I'm finally back. I feel comfortable at home!" Liang Qu took a deep breath, stretched out his hands to expand his chest, and suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. He looked up and was surprised to find that there were red fruits hanging from the branches of the jujube trees in the courtyard. "Eying, Binglin, we have jujubes to eat!"

"Elder!" Long Yao and Long Li hurried out after hearing the noise.

"What, something happened?"

"Yes, there is something. The master has sent something back! And the leader of the mermaid tribe, Quan, also sent a box."

Old monk?
"It's not such a coincidence, is it?"

Liang Qu's heart was pounding and he walked quickly into the hall.

Inside the hall, there was a wooden box and a leather suitcase with a shark tail logo on it.

Liang Qu knew what was in Quan Linghan's suitcase. He opened the old monk's wooden box first, and inside the box was another large lacquered box with a dragon pattern.

A special reward box for the imperial court!
Liang Qu's family has many similar boxes. The patterns on them depend on the status of the recipient, including dragons, tigers, rhinos, and pheasants.

This is the first time I’ve seen one with dragon pattern!

Gift from the Martial Saint?

Can't wait to open the dragon pattern box.

The first thing that caught my eye was a letter, and underneath the letter were metal tiles gleaming with golden light.

Xuanhuang card.

Three pieces!
