Chapter 1137: Things Rebound, Water Evil Causes Disaster
"Ha ah, ha—.."
Heavy breathing.
Bang!
Liang Qu fell heavily, dust rolled on the ground, spreading evenly for a week, piling up on the ground.
"Water—"
"Master?"
In the cave dwelling, Long Yao, who was moving empty wine jars, was greatly shocked, hurriedly prostrating beside the Blood Ape. She wanted to help, stretched out her hand, but didn't know where to grab.
Too horrible to look at.
The blood-red fur all over his body was withered, like yellow grass in late autumn, shattering at a touch. The original three-zhang tall body turned into a dry corpse, very thin, especially the right arm, thin to almost only the thick bones remaining, flesh and blood gone. If it were thinner, the bone marrow would have to be extracted.
Just after the banquet ended, the guests were happy.
In less than a quarter-hour, where did Master go, how did he become like this?
"Water!"
Liang Qu used all his strength, turned over, faced the ceiling, his chest drummed, and spat out a word with his eyes closed.
"Oh, oh!"
Long Yao took an empty wine jar, filled it with clear water, and poured it into the Blood Ape's large mouth. In one breath, three jars were emptied.
Liang Qu's chest rose and fell more easily, but he still felt thirsty. In one breath, he spat out a sentence: "Not enough, drag me to the pond."
Long Yao put down the wine jar, hugged the Blood Ape's left arm, and dragged him to the edge of the pond with difficulty.
Dry red fur fell all over the ground, magically vaporizing and disappearing.
Until Liang Qu was half-submerged in the pond, opened his large mouth, the entire stream surrounding the cave dwelling collapsed rapidly, a vortex appeared in it, all the water rotated and fell, falling into the vortex and disappearing without a trace, the entire river was quickly cut off.
Long Yao clicked her tongue secretly, not surprised that Master drank so much water, but surprised that this pond Liang Qu usually used for bathing.
"Living water should be fine..." Liang Qu drank the stream water, his dry corpse-like body quickly plumped up, recovering extremely fast, even the withered and split fur became rich in luster again. Long Yao was even more surprised.
Is Master made of water?
Such a serious injury, half-dead, just drinking water can recover?
What kind of trick is this, she also wants to learn!
Lao Yingtian placed the blood treasures, his speed too fast, afterimages appearing: "This matter can be big or small. Kuang Chen is going to expose me now, and there are only three choices: his master, my master, your master. Of course, the Law Enforcement Division is also possible, but he has responsibility for this matter. Once he goes to the Law Enforcement Division, it is on the scale, and there is no room, so the possibility is very small."
"His master is in seclusion, Kuang Chen definitely doesn't dare to disturb him because of this matter; that would be adding fuel to the fire. My master has an easygoing temperament and is close to me, so he definitely won't choose him either. So finally, he will go to your master.
However, the matter made such a big noise, we said we just wanted to scare Kuang Chen, just relying on this reason to make ourselves suffer, self-damaging and self-injuring,
it will inevitably not stand. Therefore, we must change the caliber, change it to wanting to let Kuang Chen 'slander' us, so as to make him look narrow-minded and stirring up trouble. Elder Xi will inevitably 'see through' our tricks, and at this time—"
Bao Jiaxiang was muddled, mechanically placing super-grade blood treasures on the shelf.
He couldn't figure it out. Where were these blood treasures placed before? Where were they hidden? How could everyone not discover them? The treasure vault clearly had no dead ends.
Lao Yingtian frowned: "Did you hear me?"
"What?" Bao Jiaxiang turned his head blankly.
"He will go to your master." Lao Yingtian's tone was three points heavier, "Elder Xi has an impatient temperament and is known for being strict, so the matter must be carried by you!"
"Me!" Bao Jiaxiang jumped, "You made such a big noise, why is it me carrying it?"
Is it fine if the things come back?
Impossible!
The nature of this matter is very serious; it is a huge loophole in the agency process.
Yes, it's fine this time, but what about next time? What if it goes off the rails?
Especially the whole thing was too coincidental, premeditated.
Even if Elder Xi is Bao Jiaxiang's master, Bao Jiaxiang is equally afraid of his master's strictness. Going back will definitely peel off a layer of skin.
"You received a Third-Rank blood treasure from me! The evidence is solid!"
Bao Jiaxiang stood blankly in place.
Yes, he was an accomplice from the beginning, just didn't expect Lao Yingtian to play so big, daring to take down all the super-grade blood treasures in the treasure vault and hide them, and hide them where no one could find them, making Kuang Chen think they were stolen and go to report and expose.
"You carry it, and I will give you three Second-Rank blood treasures afterward!" Lao Yingtian breathed rapidly, his arms trembling.
The great crisis had passed, and he instead began to be nervous again.
"Where did you get Second-Rank blood treasures!" Bao Jiaxiang questioned.
Third-Rank blood treasures, the bottom of the high-grade, Heaven Fire Sect disciples work hard, master rewards, sect rewards, it is not impossible to obtain. But Second-Rank, First-Rank, this grade absolutely cannot. What did Lao Yingtian rely on to take them out?
"I have! You carry it, and I can give it!"
"No!"
"You can't escape anymore. This matter was premeditated from beginning to end. You think the elders can't see that we deliberately set up a trap? It has reached this point, you say you came up with the idea, it won't be much more serious. For this degree of aggravation, you can exchange for three Second-Rank blood treasures! As long as you admit you came up with the idea, three Second-Rank!"
Bao Jiaxiang's pupils dilated, and for a moment his brain became paste, the temptation of three Second-Rank ones.
"I, I—."
"What about you?"
Questioning outside the treasure vault door.
Bao Jiaxiang's pores closed tightly, great fear descended.
Lao Yingtian knelt down and kowtowed: "Elder Xi!"
Boom!
Xi Wuwu waved his sleeve, and the two hit the wall together, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"You two have such big guts!"
Thirsty.
Thirst from body to soul.
Like a piece of roasted meat, cut from a cow, first bleeding, then flowing oil, finally nothing can flow out, becoming scorched, becoming a pitch-black piece.
The stream dried up, gradually, water seeped out.
Liang Qu drank painfully, shook his head violently, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, sat on the ground, his spirit and pupils scattered for a long time.
He could barely perceive his body.
"Master?" Long Yao poked tentatively.
"Mm—"
Liang Qu covered his head. His head was dizzy like a fever, difficult to think, and he had to press against the ground to hit it to relieve it.
Half a while.
He thought he was still entertaining the Heaven Fire Elders.
"Have the people outside left?"
"No, most have left, Elder Wang and the others are still drinking." Long Yao couldn't help but complain, "Like alcoholics, they sucked on a plate of fine spider lilies for half an hour."
"Mm—"
Long silence.
Another burst of chaos, Liang Qu seemed to return to his senses, dug into the bag beside him, and dug out nothing, lying on the ground: "You go to the Department of Revenue and Expenditure, if there is nothing, bring your brother over."
"My brother?" Long Yao was shocked, "What happened to my brother?"
"Don't panic." Liang Qu pinched his eyebrows, "Your brother is smart, nothing big will happen. You go find his master first, and bring his master over together."
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Long Yao couldn't care about serving Liang Qu and ran to the Department of Revenue and Expenditure in a hurry.
"Ha—· cough cough."
There was a scorched smell in his throat.
Liang Qu coughed twice, leaned against the stone chair,
"Master, Master, I was wrong!" Bao Jiaxiang knelt and kowtowed, crying bitterly, "Cao Shixiong Kuang didn't add fuel to the fire. It was Cao Shixiong Lao,
Cao Shixiong Lao was publicly made difficult by Cao Shixiong Kuang a few days ago, and he was resentful in his heart. I joked that it would be better to retaliate,
to scare him.
It happened that Elder Yu was holding a banquet, so Cao Shixiong Lao gave the disciple a Fourth-Rank blood treasure, asking the disciple to persuade Master to attend the meeting. Cao Shixiong Lao also persuaded Elder Wang. Originally, it was to tease Cao Shixiong Kuang, and afterward, he felt it wasn't enough, so he hid the super-grade blood treasures. Who knew Cao Shixiong Kuang didn't search carefully—"
Kuang Chen stared fixedly at the wooden shelf, staring at the super-grade blood treasures on the wooden shelf.
How is it possible!
He didn't search carefully?
He searched Lao Yingtian's body, searched every corner of the treasure vault, almost digging three feet into the ground, but the treasure vault was manufactured as a whole, who could dig it open?
Where did they hide the blood treasures?
However, the blood treasures were still there. Facing such accusations, Kuang Chen couldn't argue, having to admit that he saw the blood treasures disappear and was flustered, rushing to report and expose.
Xi Wuwu was so angry that his index finger trembled: "You two, you three! Truly bold and lawless!"
"Master, Master, I was wrong! Don't abandon me!" Bao Jiaxiang knelt and crawled on the ground, pounced and hugged Xi Wuwu's thigh, crying bitterly.
Kuang Chen, Bao Jiaxiang, and Lao Yingtian knelt on the ground.
Long Yao stood aside, her eyes showing worry.
Boom!
Xi Wuwu and Wang Chengxian finished counting the blood treasures, confirmed they were correct, and closed the treasure vault door.
Bao Jiaxiang grinned, knelt forward: "Master, nothing was really lost, we have a sense of proportion! All in the treasure vault, didn't dare to move a single point."
"Disgraceful things, I'll clean you up when I go back!" Xi Wuwu was furious, then looked at Kuang Chen, "Nephew Kuang, your master is in seclusion, go to the Law Enforcement Hall to receive punishment yourself."
Wang Chengxian's wine smell hadn't dissipated, waved his hand and said: "Although it is a farce, the nature is serious. However, considering it is a first offense and no great mistake was made, just write it as ineffective clearing, receive a C-grade punishment, and forget the rest. Don't let it happen again."
Kuang Chen's face was gloomy: "Yes! Chen thanks Elder Xi and Elder Wang!"
"Get up, all disperse, all disperse."
The three stood up.
Separated from each other.
Long Yao immediately handed over a handkerchief. Lao Yingtian used it to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth, suddenly laughed, and was beaten by Kuang Chen, laughing with a mouth full of scarlet blood, quite twisted.
"You still have the face to laugh." Wang Chengxian was annoyed.
"Thank you, Master, for resolving the siege!" Lao Yingtian thanked respectfully.
"Killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, not your style, Yingtian."
"The disciple was a bit impulsive this time, but people like Kuang Chen, the more you don't fight back, the more he will climb on your head. In the disciple's view, there should still be benefits."
"What benefits?"
"Master, in the Department of Revenue and Expenditure, how many First-Rank disciples can there be in total?"
Wang Chengxian didn't answer, but asked back: "You want to compete, it's a bit difficult."
"Man proposes, God disposes." Lao Yingtian answered respectfully.
Seeing Lao Yingtian had his own plan, Wang Chengxian didn't say much. With so many disciples under his hand, there were only two or three Second-Rank disciples. Lao Yingtian belonged to the type whose talent was slightly lower, but whose handling of matters was reassuring. Alas, on the path of cultivation, the strong eat everything... He looked at Long Yao.
"Your sister?"
"Yes, she took Elder Yu as her master."
"The appearance is quite obedient and pleasing."
Long Yao smiled sweetly: "Long Yao has seen Elder Wang."
"Hahaha, little girl." Wang Chengxian dug into his pocket and took out two Fourth-Rank blood treasures, "Nothing good, two blood treasures, as a meeting gift for you. Tell your master, thank you for the hospitality this time, and go again when you have time."
"Thank you, Elder Wang! My master will definitely welcome you."
"Should be fine—cough cough."
Cave dwelling, Liang Qu dragged his tired body from the ground, knelt and crawled to the bedroom, and packed all the blood treasures he collected under the bed.
River God Sect went against the current, he was rewarded by the Heaven Fire Sect, obtaining one super-grade, three First-Rank.
This month is November, salary hasn't been collected yet, three each for August, September, and October, two for subsidies.
Among them, before October, he ate three that couldn't be brought back to the Yang world, totaling one super-grade, eleven First-Rank. Alas, the banquet cost money,
can't bear to part with the child to catch the wolf. Just that wine cost six First-Rank blood treasures. If not for that, he wouldn't have been able to attract Elders Wang and Xi. Only five remained, still owing two to Lao Yingtian for one super-grade and seven First-Rank.
"Could it be waiting for the November salary to make up for it?"
Liang Qu felt a bit guilty. He wasn't a person who liked to owe accounts.
Flipped through the gift money received from the banquet.
Third-Rank, Third-Rank, Second-Rank, Third-Rank...
A string of blood treasures of this level.
Mediocre.
"Eh."
In the big red envelope, Liang Qu poured out a crystal clear blood treasure.
First-Rank!
Look at the signature in the corner of the red envelope.
"Fei."
Hiss, Fei Taiyu?
As expected of a Core Elder, the shot was generous.
With a precedent, Liang Qu directly found another one from Wu Lingxu, opened it, and sure enough, it was also First-Rank.
Two Core Elders attended the banquet, two First-Rank blood treasures, this filled the account.
The remaining Second-Rank and Third-Rank were calculated, basically able to balance the expenses outside the big wine, equivalent to everyone spending their own money to eat a good meal outside the wine.
Liang Qu lost six First-Rank blood treasures, but the account was cleared, with no debt!
"Master~"
Long Yao brought Lao Yingtian into the cave dwelling.
"You go out first." Liang Qu opened his mouth.
"Eh, me?" Long Yao pointed at herself, seeing Liang Qu nod, muttered two sentences, and had to turn and leave first.
Only Liang Qu and Lao Yingtian remained in the cave dwelling.
The yellow leather bag drew a curve in the air.
Lao Yingtian wasn't polite, pulling the knot on the spot.
Dazzling blood light surged.
Lao Yingtian shivered all over, his five fingers clenched tightly, grabbing a hole.
Super-grade blood treasure!
First-Rank, Second-Rank, were already unattainable for disciples. Super-grade, even for elders, it wasn't easy to obtain!
Greed!
Lao Yingtian tightened the rope violently and bowed in thanks.
"How does it feel?" Liang Qu grinned.
"Don't want to come again." Lao Yingtian smiled bitterly, the blood stains between his teeth still there.
Lao Yingtian recalled it now, still feeling lingering fear, cold sweat dripping, and even the memories of that time were a bit blurry. His brain actively chose to avoid the past. Recalling it was like a dream.
"Wealth is sought in danger. The blood treasure is given to you. I will start handling the matter of your sister being promoted to a Second-Rank disciple. This is not a simple matter.
I don't have a quota for Second-Rank disciples under my hand. It could take any amount of time. If you have any needs when you become a First-Rank disciple, you can also come to seek me."
"Elder Yu keeps his word, this matter is not urgent."
"Then I won't keep you, cough cough, everyone is tired after being so terrified today, hurry back to sleep and rest, and let your sister go back with you."
Lao Yingtian couldn't wait for this. After experiencing such ups and downs, he now only wanted to go home, lie on the bed, and properly relieve his emotions. He bowed in thanks again and turned to leave.
The shadows grew shorter, the figures gradually disappeared.
The stream flowed, passing over the reef, disturbing ripples.
The ceiling cast light, illuminating the jade-red blood stream. In the light pillar, tiny dust danced.
Quiet and peaceful.
"Ha."
Low laughter sounded.
"Hahaha..." Liang Qu opened his mouth, canine teeth protruding, laughing at the sky.
"Almost burned me to death!"
