Chapter 1160: New Year's Day Exorcism

"Come, come, all come over, receive the letters, receive the letters, eh, that side, don't argue, don't squeeze, everyone delegate your squad leader, otherwise it won't be issued."

"Yours, four letters... yours, five letters, hold them well, it rained yesterday, the ground is damp, if the water blurs the words, don't come to me, eh, let me find, what's the surname? Yes, yes, yes."

Early in the morning, the military camp was noisy.

The atmosphere was restless, visible to the naked eye.

Liang Qu, who was trying hard to digest the conflicting medicine power, opened his eyes, heard the noise outside, lifted the curtain, and followed the sound outward.

"General!"

At the fence, the soldiers saluted.

The troops were organized, and the camp arrangement was the same. Normally, a small tent housed five people, five people were in the same squad, several small tents built an octagonal middle tent, about a hundred people, eating, drinking, and pulling were all in public places, convenient for dispatch and hygiene.

Fences were set up between middle tents to prevent soldiers from running around, and the big tent was the core area where Xu Haitao lived, and it was also the place where all middle tents guarded and issued orders.

Half of the Perfected Form Grandmasters lived here, surrounding the core, basically a few people in a middle tent.

Liang Qu was relatively special.

He occupied an octagonal middle tent area alone.

Xu Haitao directly set up a super large camp tent for him, ice platform, desk, acid branch wood screen, everything was available.

The bed was brand new without moldy smell, move in with a bag, there were special small tents for Long Yao and Long Li, and then one foot out, a five-foot fence was hit, the fence entrance had special soldiers guarding and passing messages, but it was not empty, because Long Long Binglin, Long Long Yanrui, Golden-Haired Tiger and them all lived here.

"What are you doing outside?" Liang Qu pointed outside.

Through the gap between two tents, he could see a high platform piled up with a few wooden boxes, and a small general was shouting on the wooden platform.

"Back to the General, sending family letters."

"Family letters? So many today?"

"Yes, because tonight is New Year's Eve, a lot of letters piled up, so General Xu let people hurry up, checked the letters sent overnight, and distributed them all this morning."

"New Year's Eve, huh..."

Liang Qu grabbed his collar, not dry, undoubtedly a bit damp.

Damp, stuffy.

Used to the distinct four seasons of Pingyang, the cold during the New Year, he always couldn't figure out the season in the Southern Frontier, he clearly knew in his heart that the New Year was approaching, but he just had no feeling. Thinking about it this way, it seemed that cold weather was not all bad, at least it would be more pleasant when holding his wife.

"Roar! Born, born, my wife gave birth. Boy! Eight catties and one tael!"

"Joy! Joy! Joy!"

The cheers became more enthusiastic.

A soldier was thrown high by the crowd, everyone reached out to touch the joy.

Liang Qu came back to his senses: "You go help me find out, is there mine?"

"Back to the General, the letters of the generals are not on the same road, they are all sent by special people. However, I can help the General ask, if there is, take it out in advance, after all, the senders are often lazy, don't want to run a few times a day, mostly sent once every three days, more than one delivery."

"Then trouble you, if there are my brothers', bring them together for me."

"Yes!"

The soldier ran out.

Liang Qu stood in place, staring at the gap, watching the crowd surging.

The small general finished sending the letters and stood on the wooden platform and shouted again.

"Everyone, General Xu has an order, the situation this year is special, after all, we are still fighting with the Southern Frontier, everyone must not relax, practice as usual this morning, patrol if you should patrol, at noon, afternoon, evening, according to the troop number, go to receive wine and get allowances according to the batch above, eat meat at night, precious meat, precious fish!"

"Roar!"

The mountain shouted and the sea roared.

During the period, I don't know who took the lead, the gun barrel knocked on the shield, played "Battle South of the City," at first chaotic, not long after it became rhythmic, enthusiastic and unstoppable.

Finally, higher-level officers came out to settle down, and the soldiers dispersed one after another.

Liang Qu laughed.

Just at this time, the soldier ran over, carrying a pile of letter boxes on his chest.

"Adult, there are your letters!"

"So many?" Liang Qu was surprised.

"It's not few." The soldier poked his head out. "When I went, there were ten or so, the early ones arrived four or five days ago, the late ones yesterday, the sender was lazy, planning to send them at noon today."

Liang Qu held the wooden box, and the soldier lifted the curtain in front.

Seeing this, Long Yao and Long Li put down the books in their hands and helped place them on the desk.

Look at them one by one.

The first one was actually from the Hanging Temple, Abbot Master Di Xian congratulated him on the New Year.

Outside the Hanging Temple, the Louguan Terrace also sent a letter, inviting him to play at the Louguan Terrace.

After that, it was the people familiar around him, Godmother Xu, Master Yang Yang Dongxiong, each had two letters in a box, Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Xu also had a share, Senior Brother Lu also had a family letter sent by his father, Uncle Lu.

In addition, Senior Brother Yang Xu's, sent from Heyuan Prefecture, the farthest distance, started sending in September; the old monk's, wrote a short Buddhist blessing; Su Guishan's, told him to work hard, bring some Southern Frontier specialties back; King Xu Yue's, but not written by King Xu Yue, but handwritten by Wen Wen Shi Yun, performing disciple etiquette, respectfully asking him.

"Grown up, huh." Liang Qu shook his head.

Apprenticed at four, almost nine years until now.

Wen Wen Shi Yun was also twelve or thirteen this year, gradually becoming serious, not as interesting as when he was a child.

All in all, it was just Happy New Year.

Ten years.

People sometimes have blurred memories of time, what happened in which year, always easy to reverse in an instant, but Liang Qu clearly remembered that he had harvested eleven wisps of red Qi!

Two wisps when the three suns came out together, the rest one wisp, exactly ten Binghuo days.

"Is there any more?" Liang Qu raised his head, saying a sentence for no reason.

But Long Long Eying cleverly understood the meaning: "Two spirit fish left, stew them now?"

"Two are fine, let Tatta Kai handle it, cut into fish slices, one portion boiled in water, one portion pickled cabbage, call everyone to eat together at night."

"Listen to you."

"Heh."

Communicating with the Marsh Tripod.

Tripod Master: Liang Qu】

Refining Marsh Spirit: Water Ape Great Sage Orange Fusion: 60.5%】

Water Marsh Essence: 1,780,000】!

Inside the Marsh Tripod, the blue tide surged, the remaining green Long Qi flowed, leaving one blue-bodied white-eyed spirit fish, scales with color.

Thirteen steps to immortality.

"Seventy fusion degree, how can there be fifth or sixth step?"

Five fingers clenched into a fist, Liang Qu faced south, as if the Golden Eye could penetrate the camp, see the Southern Frontier, see Pandong.

Martial Saint, Escape Path, Demon King, Great Merit, fusion degree, everything that can be prepared is prepared.

Plans cannot keep up with changes.

The Liang Qu of the past originally planned to confront the Flood Dragon in Jianghuai, let the Frog King and Turtle King be the vanguard, throw the favor to them, and he would go around the back to steal the Dragon Pearl, suck all the essence, very perfect. Who knew he would catch up with the chaos in the Southern Frontier.

Facts have proved.

Martial Saint, Demon King, under Heaven's attention, pulling one hair and moving the whole body, wanting to close the door to handle things is almost impossible. Wanting to sneak attack the Southern Frontier by surprise, stop the chaos, the truth of Bai Yuan's death must be exposed.

He could certainly continue to hide, relying on the advantage of being the first person under the Yao Dragon and consuming the Southern Frontier, but not to mention the one-third of the territory of Lingnan that fell, just the matter of resurrection in spring, just like water flowing to a low place, it was obviously impossible to stop.

After resurrection, the favor descends, the Flood Dragon will immediately know that Bai Yuan is not dead, at most it won't transform, there is no "stone in the river," and it doesn't know the specific location.

Turtle, the Southern Frontier matter is delayed and undecided, the Flood Dragon has more sufficient psychological preparation, the day of walking the river is getting closer, the opportunity is getting rarer.

Not turtle, the Southern Frontier is decided quickly, hitting the Flood Dragon by surprise.

Everything, everything, has proven that it is at the tip of the wind and waves.

This is an opportunity, not a big opportunity, but compared to the previous ten years, the next few years, any predictable time period has more advantages.

Resurrection from the dead, great increase in favor, stronger strength... all kinds of strange signs are like guide lights, target bullseyes, the Flood Dragon cannot help but be moved.

The turbid Qi exhaled.

"Changing from Jianghuai to the Southern Frontier, it may not be a bad thing..."

"A-Shui, I'm here! Where is the letter?"

Xu Xu Zishuai's voice came from outside the tent.

The hot pot was boiling, almost dry.

Outside the camp tent, it was boiling, the soldiers' singing was ghost crying and wolf howling.

Tatta Kai carried a water pot, asking if it needed water, Xu Xu Zishuai patted his belly and waved his hand, looking around: "Just us, no blessings this year."

Liang Qu reached out and grabbed an orange: "Master, Mistress are not here, no one says it."

"You say one."

"Me?" Liang Qu was stunned, looking around.

Dragon Man, Dragon Lady, Xu Xu Zishuai, Lu Gang, Xu Xu Yuelong, Ke Ko Wenbin, Xiang Fangsu... all looked at himself.

"Say it, you are the biggest here, your habits, say whatever you want." Ke Ko Wenbin picked his teeth with his legs crossed. "Don't worry about us."

I am the biggest?

Liang Qu laughed, picked up the teacup, and deliberated several times.

"Then... New Year's Day Exorcism, send away the plague with slaughter!"

New Year's Day Exorcism, send away the plague with slaughter?

Everyone pondered for a while.

This is an ancient saying, and also an ancient custom. Exorcism is dismembering to drive away evil, slaughter is slaughtering livestock. In ancient times, hunting beasts and blood sacrifice drove away disasters and evils. Used in Lingnan, it is just right.

"A bit interesting, it's okay, finish early, close work early, I don't want to stay in the Southern Frontier for a day." Ke Ko Wenbin raised his wine glass. "Then New Year's Day Exorcism, send away the plague with slaughter!"

"Good, New Year's Day Exorcism, send away the plague with slaughter!"

Cups collided, dots spilled.

Laughter was happy.

Rain Water.

Cold and heat alternate, the air is getting more and more humid.

Rain Water has three phenological periods: first, otters sacrifice fish; second, wild geese arrive; third, plants and trees begin to sprout.

Sacrifice fish, take fish to sacrifice to heaven, the so-called repayment of the jackal and otter.

In fact, this is the teaching meaning given by people later.

Liang Qu felt that the real situation was nothing more than the otter's fishing ability being too strong, and after catching it, it would often eat one or two bites and throw it away, so there were many leftover fish piled up.

But Tatta Kai felt that this was a misunderstanding of the river otter clan by the gods. After learning the allusion of otter sacrificing fish from Long Long Eying, it insisted that the purpose of its previous actions was sacrifice, and it couldn't forget the customs left by the ancestors just because it opened its spiritual wisdom.

Therefore, early in the morning, Tatta Kai took the river otter family to catch fish, held big fish in its claws, walked in a square step, lined up in a line, and walked on the ridge with a respectful expression.

Lingnan people thought there were demons doing magic, peeled the otter skin to wrap the human body, turned into livestock, didn't dare to go into the water to catch fish that day, and ordered the children in the family to stay away from the water.

The light flashed one after another.

"Phew..."

Nasal breath was long, spraying into wind.

The Qi Sea calmed down, Liang Qu looked inside himself.

Golden Eye trembled.

Compared to the cloud sea, the size of the Immortal Island was almost unnoticeable.

However, the size of the Qi Sea should be compared to the Immortal Island to count.

"Eleven thousand forty-six..."

Smoke waves vast.

Throughout the ages, I don't know if anyone has used the words "vast" and "boundless" to describe their Qi Sea, but today there is!

Even now, the eleven thousand-fold Qi Sea, Liang Qu still didn't feel the heavy feeling of being on the verge of the limit.

"That day was not seven thousand, but ten thousand. The overdrawn Great Merit should be able to reach one thousand five, right?" Liang Qu guessed.

Helplessly, cause and effect cannot be reversed.

Sixty-nine fusion degree, almost seventy, the remaining eighty thousand essence cannot fill it, short twelve thousand, simply leave it as a backup.

Looking down, the Dew Seed did not increase.

This one in the Marsh Tripod was produced in the spring and summer seasons. According to reason, autumn and winter had passed, and the second one should appear.

"Could it be that the Southern Frontier is like summer all year round, so there is none?"

In the final analysis, the Dew Seed was obtained from the time sequence of General Yuan of Pengze. General Yuan was in Pengze, also because Pengze had distinct four seasons, which was conducive to cultivating "Twenty-Four Solar Terms."

A bit of a pity.

But the loss is acceptable.

One Dew Seed, doesn't affect anything.

Coming to the Southern Frontier and taking away a living Martial Saint, the value is more than a hundred Dew Seeds.

It's just that the evaluation changed again, adding a "eventually moving towards..."

Liang Qu frowned.

The old Dragon King must have seen something, but he insisted on being a riddle-maker, saying "don't understand yet" to make people feel bad.

With the great battle imminent, letting his imagination run wild had no effect. Operating "Ten Thousand Victories Holding Yuan," Liang Qu swept away all stray thoughts.

Water Marsh Essence completely used, Sky Silkworm Cocoon mixed with Time Insect saliva, turned into spirit fish.

Complete body.

Covered his heart.

After Rain Water, withered wood meeting spring began to become active, like a small grass seed, buried deep in the soil, receiving the irrigation of rain water, trying hard to break through the seed coat.

Prince Chong's Mansion.

Prince Chong recently liked to stand in front of the pond, feeding goldfish.

"How is the front line? Is there any movement."

"Old Master, General Xu's battle report this morning, you forgot? The Southern Frontier has been silent for almost a month, the imperial court sent an envoy to negotiate, they opened their mouths like lions, several times it didn't work, and the matter was left unsettled, it can be counted as no change."

"A month... what do you think the Southern Frontier is doing now?"

"Should be waiting, right? Rash attack is unfavorable, can only wait for the mayflies to collect the Qi machine of Marquis Baron Xingyi, that way there is still a few points of chance of winning."

Prince Chong laughed: "I guess so too, do you think they can wait?"

The Housekeeper was ashamed: "Old Master, this is embarrassing me. Arranging the mansion up and down can be counted as having a few insights, this world's major events, where can I guess."

"Say it, what are you afraid of?"

"I guess... can't wait."

"Oh, why?"

"Marquis Baron Xingyi has no movement. If Marquis Baron Xingyi is worried about this matter, worried about his Qi machine being excavated, he shouldn't be indifferent, he should harass more, just like in Ha Long Bay, taking the credit and holding it in his hand."

"Because there is a Martial Saint in Qinzhou, so Marquis Baron Xingyi has no room to display, isn't it normal?"

"It makes sense." The Housekeeper was helpless. "Old Master, don't embarrass me. Just as I said, where can I guess?"

"Sigh..."

Front-line canyon, Fat Catfish sighed.

The porcupine fish on the side asked with concern: "Big Black Fish, what's wrong with you, is there something on your mind? Why did you only eat three baskets of fish today, is it not to your appetite?"

Fat Catfish shook its head, looking at the fins.

This matter is not enough for outsiders to say.

In the past, the god ordered it to find another Demon King to help the throne. Days flew by, and the great battle was imminent. It had no clue at all. It really failed the god's trust. Thinking of the little Mirage Dragon's mockery, Fat Catfish bit its whiskers tightly, and its whole body felt cold.

Thinking about it.

Fat Catfish called the porcupine fish to ask for a strategy.

Porcupine fish entered the lake from the sea, traveled through all directions, must know the heroes of the world. Please try to point it out.

Porcupine fish shook its fins repeatedly: "How can I know heroes?"

Fat was dissatisfied, long whiskers pointed and pointed.

Don't be humble!

Porcupine fish was uneasy, thinking about the intention of Fat Catfish's words: "I have received the grace of the King's court. The heroes of the world, I really don't know."

"If you don't know their faces, you've heard their names!"

Left and right could not be pushed away.

Porcupine fish bit the bullet: "Huai North Iron Head, soldiers and food are sufficient, can be a hero?"

"Today sitting side by side, tomorrow a minister of the demon court."

"Pengze General Yuan, thousand years of life; now tiger-occupying the middle reaches, can be a hero?"

"General Yuan is colorful and timid, good at planning but not decisive; doing big things but cherishing the body, seeing small profits and forgetting life: not a hero."

Porcupine fish said helplessly: "Apart from this, the hero of the world's water lords belongs to the Dragon King."

Fat Catfish shook its head, the Dragon King is dead, also not a hero.

"Your words are wrong, there are three Dragon Kings in the world, and one still exists."
