Chapter 1008: Open the River!

Boom!

The zhang-high clay Buddha statue collapsed, limbs broken, and a thousand prayer flags burned to ash.

Countless thangkas danced in the flames, butter wrapped around the flames, pouring and flowing, seeping into the dungeon.

"Master, save me! Master!"

"Alas! Master knows! I pray you to think of me at this moment, lead my consciousness into the bright Dharma Realm!"

"The enemy is the field of merit for practicing patience, death is the aid to enlightenment."

"Do not cling to the false names of good and evil! If you believe in cause and effect, you should know that the one who kills me today also plants the bitter cause of the future. Repent quickly, practicing Dharma is the priority! Repent quickly, practicing Dharma is the priority!"

The monk on the cushion pressed his palms together.

As the flames licked his skin, melting and festering, his calm face twisted instantly.

"I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Ah! My hand! You despicable maggot!"

"You brat, are you not afraid of the Lotus Sect's revenge! Ah! The beast will tear you into ten thousand pieces."

The Red Dragon coiled and turned.

Liang Qu turned his head: "Unlike Cha Qing, what are they mumbling about?"

Unlike Cha Qing wiped the hot sweat baked out: "Mostly begging you humbly for mercy, there are also threats from the Lotus Sect, my lord, no need to pay attention."

"That's good."

Wails came one after another.

Monks fled in all directions, taking off their burning kasayas, fleeing the temple naked, only to be swept into the flood, soaring up, falling from a thousand meters high, and crashing back into the fire.

Until they turned into curled-up charcoal, the monks still couldn't believe that Liang Qu's strike would be so decisive.

The Master and the elders of the East and West Halls died with eyes wide open!

The gale howled.

The water tornado surrounding Moon Spring Temple was a thousand meters high, connecting heaven and earth, rotating without stopping. The bottom was torn open with several openings, convenient for extracting air, down in and up out, like a blast furnace.

Under the huge pressure difference, the air flowed, and the remaining prayer wheels rotated crazily.

The white clouds in the sky formed a vortex.

The crowd rode the Red Dragon, quietly overlooking.

Compared to the water tornado, they were as small and swaying as a red thread in the wind.

Golden Tiger, Wild Boar, Cannot Move, Fat Catfish, Fist, and Round Head guarded the surroundings of the tornado. Fat Catfish's two coral hammers were wind-whipping, and every time it saw a monk taking advantage of the tornado's opening to escape, it would smash them back with one hammer.

Heaven and earth are the furnace, all living things are copper, in deep water and hot fire!

【Drowning Karma Triggered】

【Drowning Karma Triggered】

【Drowning Karma Accumulation: Eight】!

Black and red permeated.

Every time there was 【Drowning Karma】 accumulation, Liang Qu's brow would flash with golden light.

【Drowning Karma Dissipated】

【Drowning Karma Accumulation: None】

【Drowning Karma Triggered】

Karma entangled, rising and falling, yet helpless.

The roof beams collapsed, ashes rose.

Sparks were like orange trees blooming.

High temperature distorted the air, heat waves rolled.

The fierce fire spread, Moon Spring Temple's temple buildings burned more than half. For a full half-hour, the fire not only didn't extinguish but became more intense, faintly burning out a large pit, constantly spreading to the ground, the stench of scorching filling the sky.

Long Eying was confused: "Why is Moon Spring Temple so flammable?"

Liang Qu closed his eyes: "It must be that heaven has eyes, unable to see evil monks doing evil."

Long Eying didn't believe half a word: "All based on your heart fire?"

Moon Spring Temple occupied a huge area, and the number of monks living there was countless.

If it were just based on heart fire, Liang Qu's strength had undoubtedly become stronger again.

"Half and half, heaven's timing and geographical advantages are both there." Liang Qu opened his eyes, pointing to the ground: "See, it's black. Under Moon Spring Temple, it's all peat soil. This thing is similar to coal after drying, just the combustion value is slightly lower,

the temperature is not as high as coal."

"Peat soil?"

Fist shoveled down with a pincer, shoveling up a piece of soil and tossing it into the air.

Liang Qu reached out to catch it, rubbing out the black clay inside.

Peat soil, a special soil type, mainly formed by the accumulation of incompletely decomposed plant residues in long-term waterlogged and oxygen-deficient environments, can be used directly as fuel after drying.

Decomposition, oxygen deficiency.

Long Eying listened with half-understanding.

"The overall environment of the Snow Mountain is dry, peat soil is not everywhere, but people need to drink water, livestock will be thirsty,

temple construction is mostly adjacent to water sources, Moon Spring Temple is close to Blue Lake, and there is a Cold Ice Spring underground. Over time, the surroundings are all this burnable soil."

Not talking about high-temperature evaporation.

Liang Qu used his water control ability to extract the moisture from the soil.

The entire Moon Spring Temple could be said to be sitting directly on a dry coal pile, coupled with the water tornado achieving a "blast furnace," connected from top to bottom, with sufficient oxygen, and an internal temperature of a full thousand degrees, ordinary monks couldn't bear it at all!

"My lord is learned." Unlike Cha Qing's follower Fan Zixuan opened his mouth to praise.

"You are used to flattering."

Fan Zixuan grinned, not caring, but becoming more expectant.

Previously Liang Qu needed translation, only bringing Unlike Cha Qing alone. Unlike Cha Qing learned the Snow Mountain language the best, nothing could be pointed out.

But today he brought him and Kou Zhuang out, and even not just them, including the Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe from Pingyang Prefecture, not knowing what method they used, temporarily gathered together, obviously there were extra benefits!

Gold melted and flowed.

Black smoke rolled in the sky.

Many nobles who came early to participate in the auspicious day and planned to stay for a few days reined in their horses. Hearing that it was a great noble from Great Shun seeking revenge, they didn't dare to advance rashly, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire, simply letting servants inform other temples and leaving it to higher-level temples to handle.

The Bai family steward watched from afar.

Compared to the Bai family's scale, a small Moon Spring Temple didn't count for much.

In terms of commodity trading, the Moon Spring Temple master also had to look up to the Bai family, but the temples in the entire Snow Mountain Domain were all inherited from the Lotus Sect. Once destroyed, the nature was completely different, and the political influence behind it was huge, the less involved, the better.

The fire at Moon Spring Temple burned until night in one breath, without any trend of stopping.

There were no more half-wails.

Only the scorching of the fierce fire, the choking smell of scorching.

Liang Qu waved his sleeves, the water tornado dissipated, instantly extinguishing the flames in Moon Spring Temple.

Hiss.

A thunderbolt flashed, water vapor mixed with smoke surged, the heat wave in the sky disappeared, and the rain clouds that had accumulated for a long time fell heavily.

Whoosh.

Black ash gathered in the vortex.

Heavy rain poured down, washing the earth.

Master Huai Kong chanted in a low voice, Medicine Master Buddha sprinkled healing Buddha light.

Disheveled, pitch-black farmers, consorts, and servants walked out of the huts in a daze. They looked up at the sky, breathing heavily, like grass sprouting from the soil in spring.

At the dungeon entrance, rainwater washed the stone steps.

Ashes dyed the clear water black.

The water film in front of Ciren disappeared, and he and the other few prisoners crawled on the ground, bathing in the heavy rain.

Divine might!

Moon Spring Temple, which had stood on the earth for who knows how long, was destroyed without a trace overnight!

Not to mention mortals.

Unlike Cha Qing and Kou Zhuang also clicked their tongues. Such a temple, almost unable to form any resistance, was turned into ruins under Liang Qu's few thoughts!

A true powerhouse!

Yearning for it!

Whoosh.

The Red Dragon landed.

Red Mountain emerged from the dragon shadow.

A group of people walked among the ruins.

Fat Catfish put away the double hammers, Cannot Move clenched his palms, linking the machete.

Fist walked sideways with eight legs, taking the lead, giant pincers smashing the pitch-black stone pillars, clamping up the gold cakes melted from the pagoda.

The whole lump of gold was about the size of an ox head, about eight hundred jin, it was a spire on the central pagoda of Moon Spring Temple, cast from pure gold, this single piece of "gold cake" was worth more than eighty thousand taels of silver in revenue.

Last year, when buying cultivation materials for Cannot Move and the other beasts at Hanging Temple, Liang Qu himself asked Eying for more than thirty thousand to make up the amount, and after that, not a penny was left, and there was no large income.

After this year.

Half a year's salary, thirty thousand from the Bai family, plus the eighty thousand in front, the savings returned to one hundred and forty thousand!

With money in his pocket, he wasn't panicked in his heart.

Excluding this piece, the remaining gold pieces were much smaller.

Liang Qu never liked eating alone. He was able to walk to today smoothly because he had money for everyone to earn together.

Waving his hands.

"Dig for valuable things yourself, take them yourself, move them yourself, whoever finds them counts, whoever touches them first counts,

only half an hour, not allowed to grab others', if there is a dispute, tell Binglin, we have things to do later, don't delay."

Fan Zixuan and Unlike Cha Qing were overjoyed.

One year here.

Return money!

"Thank you, my lord!"

After speaking, the two rushed into the ruins to dig, looking for handy tools to dig, especially on the corpses of several elders, there were many melted gold beans nearby, deeply buried in the ash.

Kou Zhuang also wanted to dig, but the surrounding environment made him dizzy.

As far as the eye could see, they were all curled-up corpses, his stomach churning.

Liang Qu understood the situation.

A new recruit.

Fist received the message, put down the gold in the pincers, directly clamped Kou Zhuang's neck, came to the vicinity of the latrine of the intact hut, and put Kou Zhuang's head in to smell the "fragrant" smell.

La.

The crowd retreated together.

Liang Qu grinned: "The smell of corpses of the same kind will make you physically nauseous, this is an instinctual reaction, not shameful,

reminding you to run fast when there is danger, just smell the toilet at this time. There are excrement nearby, indicating that there are people of the same kind living, so you will be at ease, don't look at me, don't say I didn't remind you, I'm not sure if human feces have any effect on Dragon People."

Long Eying found it funny: "If you can't stand it, you go, I won't smell it."

The blood and essence of the Perfected Form realm merged into a sea of qi, long ago not something the external environment could easily shake.

Long Yanrui was curious: "How does my lord know so many messy things?"

"Read more, oh, no, read more books, there are golden houses in books."

Liang Qu muttered casually.

Accompanying for a while, Long Yanrui, having nothing to do, also joined the digging team, including some bold farmers.

There were many gold decorations in the temple, zero and broken, one scoop was a few qian, a few liang, accumulating little makes much, for a Galloping Horse martial artist, the amount was very considerable, for Long Yanrui, it could be considered pocket money.

The Dragon People's trade was not as frequent as the Jiaoren, and there was no cash matching their status in their hands.

Digging is earning.

Otter Kai, Da He Li Chief Engineer all piled inside, counting the ten or so boys from Scarface's family, a pile of furry butts facing the sky,

tails swinging wildly.

Moon Spring Temple underground treasury.

There were treasures, but the grade was limited.

Moon Spring Temple occupied a Cold Ice Spring, the bulk of the revenue was still eaten clean by the middle temples and big temples above, there were not many on the shelves that had a big effect on Hunting Tiger, let alone Perfected Form Grandmasters.

But mosquito legs are also meat.

One of the benefits of not being a loner.

Liang Qu had a group of subordinates, bustling, he let Fat Catfish and the other beasts knock open and eat.

Eat treasure fish if there are treasure fish, pack up small items that are useless.

Fat Catfish was big and tall, the hammer head knocked open the ceiling, the shoulders squeezed open the shelves, regardless of whether it was useful or not, the treasure plants and treasure fruits on the shelves were all grabbed into the mouth and inhaled in a storm.

And the one following closely behind was not Fist, nor Round Head, but the wild boar brought out by Golden Tiger.

"Quick, quick, quick."

The hedgehog urged.

The wild boar buried its head and gnawed randomly, regardless of medicinal conflict, whether poisonous or not, the hedgehog on its head jumped non-stop, eating and taking, the ones it couldn't eat in time were stuck on its back, high-spirited.

Never expected that one day, it would exchange wild fruits for spiritual fruits on its back!

Leaving Mount Weihu.

The future is broad, and there is much to be done!

"Damn it!"

The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong flew behind, a little dragon couldn't eat in time, transformed into white mist, grabbing it into its hands first.

Fan Zixuan and Unlike Cha Qing were extremely envious, but their cultivation was not high, and making a mess of eating and drinking would be worthless.

【Water-Marsh Essence +17】

【Water-Marsh Essence +20】

There were many plates and pearls in the treasury, Liang Qu touched out Water-Marsh Essence one by one.

Among them was an unexpected joy.

A small blood coral!

【Water-Marsh Essence +3478】

【Water-Marsh Essence: 450,000】

"Ah! Thief!"

A farmer rushed over with a dagger.

Liang Qu didn't even look, focusing on touching his treasures.

When he went to the next one, the farmer had already frozen into an ice sculpture, falling to the ground due to inertia, falling apart.

Long Eying accompanied quietly.

Everyone took what they needed.

Long Binglin didn't earn pocket money, nor did he look at the fragmented treasure plants and treasure fish in the treasury. He came to the location of the Cold Ice Spring alone, transformed into a zhang-high Dragon Person under "Startling Dragon Transformation," manipulated the water flow, pried open all the stone slabs on the ground, washed the surface soil, revealing the jade-white ore inside, and the Sanskrit formation on the ore.

A small moonstone vein with a radius of more than one hundred and fifty zhang and a formation, this was the fundamental reason why the Cold Ice Spring produced Moon Spring water continuously.

How to move it?

The foundation of Moon Spring Temple was extraordinary.

The elders certainly wouldn't easily let go of this continuous treasure. Before coming, it was also mentioned to move the most valuable things away, but Long Binglin couldn't think of a way to move the entire Cold Ice Spring away.

The radius was already so huge, and the depth was unknown. If the moonstone was dismantled piece by piece, it would undoubtedly destroy its naturalness, and whether it would have an effect was unknown, and even if it did, it would drop significantly.

One whole piece.

There might be space in the 【Vortex Palace】, but Fat Catfish couldn't swallow it!

The biggest-mouthed Fat Catfish couldn't, other beasts were even more impossible.

Half an hour passed, excluding the rescued farmers and servants, occasionally one would be unable to think straight, no one came to disturb, perhaps middle-level temples already knew, but didn't dare to approach, adding risk.

"Is it done?"

Liang Qu stood at the treasury door.

"Hic."

Fat Catfish hiccuped, patted its belly, triumphant.

A prime minister's belly can hold a boat.

It can eat and swallow, born to be a prime minister.

Fist waved its double pincers, Round Head, Cannot Move, and Little Xiao Xiao Shenlong drilled out from all directions.

Communicating with the Marsh Tripod.

【Can consume 340,000 Water-Marsh Essence to evolve Tiger-Jiao Catfish into Ink Tiger-Jiao Catfish.】

【Can consume 850,000 Water-Marsh Essence to evolve Golden Rock Crab King into Vajra Crab King】

Fat Catfish, Fist, the only two peak demon beasts under his command, generals who will enter the Great Demon.

Among them, Fat Catfish's number was far ahead!

Work hard.

It's not impossible to press into twenty within this year!

"Fat Catfish, work hard, press to twenty within this year, if I have extra essence, I will make it up for you."

Fat Catfish was overjoyed, turned the double hammers, twisted its butt, wind-whipping.

Little Xiao Xiao Shenlong wailed holding its head.

Excluding the two beasts, the rest were still hovering in the middle stage, under the long-term work and accumulation.

Round Head: 【Can consume 8,400 Cannot Move: 【Can consume 5,000—. —】】

Little House Dragon: 【Can consume 14,000—. —】

Awei: 【Can consume 15,000—】

The progress was all good, can find a time to make up all at once, totaling 40,000, not much.

Little Xiao Xiao Shenlong should also break through the upper limit, swallowing the last wisp of house qi.

Piecing together all the attributes, there must be an unexpected surprise.

Excluding water beasts, the somewhat special Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe brothers also made progress.

"Otter Kai, Da He Li Chief Engineer, Unlike Cha Qing—"

Whoosh whoosh.

Otter Kai wore a golden crown, a string of gold necklaces on its neck and arms, coral necklaces walked out of the ruins, the sound was crisp during the collision, the beavers and river otters behind were all like nouveau riche.

"My lord!"

Unlike Cha Qing and the three walked out of the ruins, still reluctant.

In just half an hour, it was impossible to dig clean, there must be many lost jewels in the ruins, but they didn't dare to stay too long.

"How was the harvest?"

"Roughly a middle thousand."

"Good!"

Time is tight and the task is heavy, confirming that the three had a harvest, Liang Qu took the people and transferred to the backyard of Moon Spring Temple.

Cold Ice Spring!

"How about it? Binglin, how big did you detect?"

Long Binglin jumped off the high platform: "My lord, the shape of the Cold Ice Spring is very irregular, overall shuttle-shaped, with a radius of more than one hundred and fifty zhang, the longest two ends can be three hundred and twenty-four zhang, the narrowest is also seventy-eight zhang, the depth is not easy to measure, roughly also about a hundred zhang."

Three hundred and twenty-four zhang, more than one thousand meters, a full kilometer!

"Does my lord want to smash it?"

"Don't smash it, I had an understanding before coming, moonstone is best complete, if smashed, it won't have this effect, greatly discounted." Liang Qu shook his head.

Don't smash it?

Unlike Cha Qing and Fan Zixuan looked at each other.

What does it mean.

Want to take the entire Cold Ice Spring away?

"My lord, then should we move it?" Long Binglin asked.

"Of course we must move it! How far is it from Blue Lake?"

"Less than three li."

"A mere three li, just dig a small river!"

Plop!

Without waiting for the crowd to react.

Liang Qu had already jumped into the Cold Ice Spring.

The crowd hurriedly gathered around the high platform, but the entire Cold Ice Spring was not transparent, it was all milky white water, mixed with broken ice,

couldn't see what happened inside at all.

Whoosh.

Countless white silk emerged from the void, wrapping Liang Qu into a pure white ball.

In an instant.

A white giant ape emerged!

Perception spread, small white currents surged like snakes, quickly including the entire small vein into perception.

Confirming the specific range and size of the moonstone mine.

Phew.

The white ape took a deep breath.

Rumble!

Above the ground, broken stones jumped, scorched charcoal shattered into black ash.

Earth dragon turning over?

Unlike Cha Qing and Fan Zixuan's pupils shrank sharply.

At the same time.

Under the Cold Ice Spring, the entire underground river surged and roared, like a wild horse that had broken its reins, constantly washing the rock walls, like a sharp blade cutting between rocks!

Boom!

Thunder came out of the mountain.

Unlike Cha Qing separated his feet, stood firmly in a horse stance, and witnessed the ground collapse, producing cracks, spreading from the side all the way, surrounding the radius!

The sound underground became louder and louder, as if someone had buckled an iron pot on their head, beating crazily.

Until a certain limit, the crowd's feet trembled violently, slowly rising! ===== CHAPTER 1009 =====
