Chapter 1171

Human heads were inverted on sharp wooden stakes, the fresh blood dried into black scabs.

Flies vibrated their wings, landed on the cheeks, crawled along the gray-white eyeballs, and rubbed their joints.

A sudden storm hit the people on both banks, and it ended like a dream.

Water dripped from the leaf tips, the martial artist held his long spear, leaned against the rock, watched the great river flowing east, and pedestrians coming and going in a hurry, a sense of unreality arising in his heart.

The Southern Frontier delegation met with the Da Shun delegation, and the noisy arguments could be faintly heard. The nightmare perhaps, or mostly, really ended here. The vast camp was busy, soldiers gathered in front of the announcement board, seeing a young general clip a stack of paper, pinch two iron nails, press them into the board with his bare hands, and hold his breath.

The young general turned around, holding up two fingers.

"Two things! First, the military merit record is correct. If no one reports it within three days, it can be transferred to personal files and exchanged for treasures; second, those on this list, pack up, you can take early leave to go home, register with your superiors before leaving."

"It's over?"

The young general shook his head: "It's a stage, wait for the Marquis of Baron Xingyi to return. We cannot rule out ambushes, so we cannot withdraw the troops."

Cheers like a mountain and sea.

"Go home! Go home."

"Old Li, you are lucky, you can go home and hold your big fat boy."

"Haha, a letter came during the New Year, who knew it would end so quickly, we have to thank the Marquis of Baron Xingyi."

"Why thank the Marquis of Baron Xingyi, did he get your wife pregnant?"

"Get lost, what nonsense are you talking about, I'll slap your mouth, I'm talking about if it weren't for the Marquis of Baron Xingyi, how could it end so early? Everyone is happy, may you have a son soon, and those without a wife, may you find a good wife."

Laughter toward the sky.

One wooden stake after another was pulled up, iron nails were pulled from the ground, and tents were folded from the outside in.

Stepping out of the military camp, outside Qinzhou City, by the Linjiang River, the wind in the wilderness blew away the sideburns.

In the towering mountains, a spring thunder rain caused new buds to grow from the collapsed tree roots.

Countless disaster victims flooded into their lost homeland, re-cultivating the wasteland flooded by the flood, and others argued about dimensions on the ridges, fighting over the collapse of stone tablets and the re-division of land. A man picked up a stone from the ground, chased two steps, and smashed it hard on the head of the person in front.

Thud.

The man who was smashed fell straight into the paddy field, splashing mud.

Afterward, a vague "someone is dead" was heard.

People from both villages rushed out, took hoes and iron tools, and fought fiercely, until the passing soldiers rode horses, waved whips, and scattered the villagers with several charges, leaving only the dark-skinned woman in coarse cloth holding the man who came out of the mud, crying bitterly.

Xu Xu Zishuai saw it clearly on the mountain wilderness, shook his head and sighed. He turned and stepped into the tent, helping his senior brother Lu Gang pack things.

"It all matched."

"What?" Lu Gang piled the luggage on the table.

"Senior brother, do you remember the fate of our junior brother?"

Lu Gang tied the luggage: "Of course I remember, the regular seal is a great ape, the side seal is a long dragon crossing the river, no matter which one, what Master calculated back then was not wrong at all."

"That's what I'm talking about." Xu Xu Zishuai leaned against the table and snapped his fingers, "At that time, Master said that junior brother's side seal had two interpretations.

First interpretation, this dragon refers to junior brother A-Shui, he will surely cross the river and become a dragon in the future; second interpretation, this dragon is not junior brother, it is more dangerous, it is someone else becoming a dragon, clashing with junior brother!"

Lu Gang stopped his movements.

Legend has it that a snake becomes a dragon in five hundred years, and a dragon becomes a dragon in one thousand years. Snakes practice for five hundred years to become "dragons," hiding in lakes, deep pools, reservoirs, tributaries, and caves. "Dragons" practice for one thousand years, then follow the main rivers and rivers into the sea to become dragons.

The so-called "Walking the River" is the process of the dragon following the main river into the sea, accompanied by amazing phenomena such as strong winds, heavy rain, and rising rivers, flooding everything along the way.

Whether "Walking the River" or being "Walked by the River," it is extremely dangerous.

"You mean..."

Xu Xu Zishuai also held up two fingers, flipping them back and forth.

"The Flood Dragon went on this trip, the dragon entered the sea, which means both sides exist. Previously, it was the Flood Dragon crossing the river, clashing with A-Shui and the white ape. Now that it has been intercepted by A-Shui and the white ape, it responded to the first interpretation;

Now, it is A-Shui and the white ape entering the Dragon Palace, crossing the Huai River, the host and guest are reversed, the Flood Dragon probably won't let it go, it's its turn to intercept, this is responding to the second interpretation!

The feng shui turns, I have to say, things are not over yet."

"Hum hum hum..."

Humming a little tune, General Yuan was leisurely rowing back to Pengze. The sky was wide and the earth was broad, the lake water was clear, and the products were abundant. In terms of comfort, it had to be this Pengze. Although it was not as big as the Jianghuai Great Marsh, it was a small world where it was king, free and unrestrained.

Under Shou Mountain, the Time Insect poked its head out sneakily, flew in front of the old turtle to mock it. After working hard for a long time, it only got a blood cocoon and a wisp of Long Qi.

General Yuan flicked its claw, smashed a Pengze clam, took the meat, and didn't care about the mockery at all.

"What do you know? I am a turtle by nature, a Dragon Turtle, so what if I'm a turtle? Who can say otherwise? You, on the other hand, stayed on Shou Mountain for half a day and didn't dare to come out."

The Time Insect shrieked sharply.

"Haha, you're anxious!" General Yuan grabbed the initiative, swallowing the fresh and sweet clam meat, "This is called the turtle-shrinking tactic, understand? Who would care about a clown?

You all think the Flood Dragon is vengeful, that's the hostile perspective, it's biased. I never felt that way. When I entered Pengze, it was still a small snake in an egg, drinking milk. The old turtle of the West Water called me Little Turtle. If we really talk about age, who is older is uncertain.

Knowing its foundation is not good, the Flood Dragon has been learning from the old Dragon Lord for decades to buy the hearts of demons. You think it was fake when it said it would let bygones be bygones before the outcome?

Wrong, it really would do that! A great opportunity to show its capacity. Otherwise, why would the iron-headed fish help it wholeheartedly? If it were you, would you help a heartless, fickle dragon?"

The Time Insect was stunned.

"A lone man who creates floods and acts with power. A lone man is always difficult to accomplish things.

So whichever side wins, it doesn't prevent me from coming back to be a small king. If the monkey wins, I even make a small profit. The more shameless, the more stupid, the less noticed I am, the more I can live on both sides.

Besides, the rough-haired monkey is not that petty. After it finishes the Dragon Palace affairs and calms down, it will definitely send me something good again, believe it or not?"

The Time Insect was suspicious.

General Yuan took off the clam shell and scraped its beak with the sharp edge.

"Those who can become water lords and reach the peak are not small-minded. Learn, whoever lives long wins. What is face?

Besides, if you really recognize the wrong monkey, in the whole world, only I, Old Turtle, can produce this life-extending precious Qi."

"Bold fat catfish! I've been running errands, I've been spitting mist and creating dreams, training the boss in actual combat. I have the ancestor Xiao Shenlong, revealing underworld news, seizing the Drought Demon fruit, I have the highest merit! The strongest strength! The merit of following the ape should enjoy the highest salary! Should be named Prime Minister! The North Water belongs to me!"

Drawing a big circle on the sand bed, dividing it into east, west, south, north, and middle.

The Little Xiao Shenlong threw out the line-drawing pebble, grabbed the fat catfish's long whiskers. The fat catfish was in so much pain it couldn't speak, its fins pointed here and there, its webbed feet formed a circle, denouncing the treacherous sycophants.

Without it, the Black Dragon King, the mere little insect would still be sleeping soundly in the Frog King's cave!

"Ah ah ah! Nonsense, nonsense! I am a dragon by nature, what insect, you are the insect! Fat insect! Big fat insect!"

The Little Xiao Shenlong was annoyed and pulled hard.

The fat catfish's mouth was forced open, mumbling, squeezing out the word "strong insect."

"Cannot Move" walked out leisurely, its claws calmed things down, looking like an old brother coming out to reconcile the disputes between them.

It had the oldest seniority, followed the Heavenly God the longest, and had a plantation, with constant dividends. In its early years, it borrowed the Divine Wood imprint to help the Heavenly God turn the tide many times. Regarding the merit of following the ape, it should be the greatest, and it should be named Green Dragon Flood King, belonging to the East Water.

Ao Ao Miyun shook his head: "My Dragon Sturgeon clan has been lurking for decades, just to wait for the new lord. I am the representative of the Dragon Sturgeon clan, my merit is the greatest, I should be named Duke."

Round Head shook its head and wagged its tail.

It taught the water beasts to read, etiquette, and open their wisdom. Without it, nothing could be accomplished.

Fist collided with double pincers.

It had protected the Heavenly God twice, saved the Heavenly God from fire and water, and searched for mineral veins. Just by blood stones, it earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Otter scratched its butt, thought and thought, stood in the middle, stating that the Heavenly God loved to eat the grilled fish of the river otter flavor. Without grilled fish, he couldn't swallow, and would have starved to death long ago. To reach today, it occupied the first merit.

The Big Beaver knocked on its front teeth, the Heavenly God's original accumulation from the Frog King's hands started from the front teeth of its beaver clan.

The water beasts argued endlessly, counting the scars on their bodies to discuss war merit.

"Croak!"

A frog croak, the fighting stopped.

"Cannot Move," Round Head, Fat Catfish, Fist, and Little Xiao Shenlong stood at attention in the air, dividing into two rows, clearing the way.

The Old Frog stood proudly with webbed feet, squinted around, walked with an out-toed gait, strode out, and patted its chest.

"I am the Prime Minister!"

The water beasts nodded repeatedly, shouting that the Frog Lord was wise and martial.

Splash.

The vortex opened and closed.

The water beasts rolled out of the Ze Kingdom all at once, falling to the ground.

West Turtle was surprised.

The white ape actually opened a space of its own?

Where did the strange stone come from?

The Old Frog pried open the fat catfish's big mouth, jumped onto the jade brick, saw the majestic white ape, its frog eyes brightened, and it was about to croak, but turned to see the big hole in the jade plaza, the collapsed big tree, its frog skin wrinkled, and it let out a muffled groan, covering its heart.

Heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe.

All the roots were rotten, leaving only six intact.

Fire Tree Silver, the treasure offered by General Yuan.

One of the Eight Beauties of Jianghuai.

Gone.

Looking at the others, a super big hole with a radius of two miles in the center of the plaza, a pitch-black crack extending from the hole to the palace on top, and the other big halls were mostly abandoned.

Pain.

Too painful.

How did our Dragon Palace become like this now.

The Old Frog curled into a frog ball, its limbs curled up, uncomfortable and twitching.

The white ape was a bit puzzled, looking at the Frog King.

The Frog King carried the big anchor on its shoulder, waving its webbed claws.

Everything looks like it belongs to the family, it hurts when it's broken or damaged, it's an old problem, don't worry about it.

Bypassing the trembling Old Frog.

Water algae swayed, Fire Tree Silver emitted orange light, the vast Dragon Palace was empty, and no water beasts lingered. The Flood Dragon's subordinates had all withdrawn earlier.

The white ape and the water beasts under its command, as well as the Turtle King, Frog King, Sea Master, and Old Frog, were the only batch of visitors to the Dragon Palace at present, quite like visiting a wonder, with a sense of booking the whole place.

Hoo.

Water flow surged.

Looking around.

Beautiful.

Really beautiful.

The Dragon Palace has existed since ancient times, where the True Dragon is, there is the Dragon Palace, but the Dragon Lord's lifespan is long, and the Dragon Palace has been renovated many times, with different styles. It truly started construction, with a complete framework to today's appearance, and planting Fire Tree Silver, I don't know how many years have passed.

The fat catfish often came to the Dragon Palace to offer poems, describing the magnificence to Liang Qu, but it was still not half as good as seeing it with his own eyes.

Three-tier Dragon Palace, mountain-shaped, rising from the ground.

The bottom tier is the residence of water beasts, free trade, the middle tier is the mansion of capable cadres, the top tier is the Dragon Palace hall, with an extremely open view, overlooking the heroes, at a glance.

Now, it's all his.

Half success, half failure; half harvest, half loss.

The Flood Dragon didn't die, but Jianghuai had already changed hands.

Turning and floating up, stepping on the carved beams and painted rafters of the white marble slope.

Gilded inlay on the ground, the hall was extremely wide, surrounded by golden dragons on top, bypassing the jade wall, the throne winding.

That's right.

Winding.

The dragon throne is a whole slope, uneven, the Dragon Lord is a dragon, and the throne is also designed to fit the dragon body, the Flood Dragon doesn't need to change it either.

In this way, it is not suitable for Liang Qu, who transformed into a white ape. If there was a square big chair, sitting on it straight now would undoubtedly be a beautiful thing.

Purr.

Black shadows flashed, the fat catfish took the lead, rushing up to knock and hit, spraying black mist to modify the throne, discovering that 【Splashing Ink and Waving Brush】 couldn't move it for a long time.

Liang Qu laughed loudly.

"You can't change it, the Dragon Lord has raised it for a thousand years, you have to soak it for at least ten days or half a month to change it a little bit."

Ten days or half a month.

Long whiskers folded ninety degrees, the fat catfish waved its fins, calling Fist to bury into the ground, absorbing rigidity, working together.

Little Xiao Shenlong was not to be outdone, summoning the Mirage Beast, cleaning up the gravel on the ground, looking for gaps to splice.

"Cannot Move"'s double horns glowed, restoring the Dragon Palace's greenery.

The water beasts performed their duties, adding a bit of vitality to the empty palace.

Stepping out of the Dragon Palace.

On the jade-white plaza, the chant one two, the Old Frog recovered its spirit, I don't know where it took out the rope, directing the Round Head group and water beasts to work, first piling up earth, filling the big pit in the plaza, and then pulling up the Fire Tree Silver again, attempting to plant it.

It was still a wasteland and ruins, but without the big pit, at least it didn't look so ugly.

And these are not the most critical.

Frog King, Turtle King, General Yuan, Sea Master, Frog Lord... so many demons, exerted so much effort, it was time to share the fruits!

"Frog Lord, where is the Dragon Palace treasury?"

The demons' gazes turned in unison.

The Old Frog was coy, the Frog King's webbed claws stretched out, the Old Frog jumped onto the palm, then fell onto the Frog King's head, overjoyed, coughed twice, and the frog web pointed.

"There!"

Water flow pushed, the demon kings and water beasts came to the Dragon Palace, followed the tunnel all the way down, and descended before a huge jade gate.

No lock.

Round Head pushed it open.

A unique medicinal fragrance permeated, the Old Frog's drool hung three feet long.

The Sea Master stretched out her tentacles, separating from the white ape's body. Compared to the moment of initial combination, the Sea Master's overall dimension was simply a big size smaller.

Quite embarrassed.

Recalling the battle, Liang Qu was seriously injured many times, especially the Flood Dragon's poison and biting, including multiple fractures, all were "flesh-filled" by the Sea Master.

The flesh was all filled to him, and she naturally shrank a size.

"Ah!"

A scream interrupted his thoughts, the big door opened wide, the Old Frog suddenly fell from the Frog King's head, and began to curl and twitch again.

Liang Qu's golden eyes sharpened, walking quickly into the treasury, the first look was not excitement, but...

"Why is it so empty?"

The vast treasury actually only had a few corners piled with treasures, and even the rank was not very high.

This...

How to explain to the Frog King and Turtle King?

At the beginning, it was agreed that whatever treasures were in the Dragon Palace treasury, he would not take a cent, and would distribute them all to the demon kings...

The Sea Master swam in, eight feet spread, checking the traces on the shelves one by one.

"A part has been empty for a long time, another part should have been moved away by the Flood Dragon in advance. In the past, the Dragon Palace treasury was wealthy, because the Dragon Lord had strong control over the entire Huai River, and the Great Marsh with the Lord position was more prosperous, communicating with each other. But the Flood Dragon entered, couldn't control it, only output and no input, probably always eating into the capital. Previously, Da Shun demanded it once, and the Great Huai Army, in order to search for the white ape, had high salaries, and also spent quite a bit."

Damn!

Flood Dragon!

You!

Treasures of low rank are useless to demon kings and great demons, no matter how many there are, it's the same as having none.

The white ape had a mouthful of old blood in its chest, immediately apologizing to the Turtle King and Frog King.

"The two kings have contributed a lot, the reward will definitely not be so sloppy, but what I see today, there are really no extra treasures in the Dragon Palace treasury. What I see today, besides the longevity treasures, each take thirty percent, for the rest, I hope everyone can be more lenient for some time, rebuilding the Dragon Palace in the future, I will definitely give a satisfactory reward."

A group of water beasts all arched their hands if they had hands, and flicked their whiskers if they had whiskers.

The Turtle King thought for a while and readily agreed.

The Frog King had no opinion either.

The Old Frog doesn't suffer losses, it doesn't suffer losses.

Pacifying the two demon kings, Liang Qu breathed a sigh of relief, letting Round Head guard the treasury gate.

Returning to the Dragon Palace.

At this moment, in the Jianghuai Great Marsh sky, many white streams roared over, crossing the water surface, pulling out a pure white curtain, covered in blood, landing on the plaza one after another.

None of them were strangers.

Ao Qingtian, the three elders of the Dragon People clan, Long Long Eying, Long Long Binglin, Long Long Yanrui...

Dragon People! Dragon Sturgeon!

Thousands of Dragon People and Dragon Sturgeons flew and landed.

Although among the thousands of Dragon People and Dragon Sturgeons, nine out of ten were filled with confusion, hazy, not knowing what happened today, suddenly changing the sky and the earth, but the Dragon Palace was too big, and the feeling of having no one to use instantly disappeared!

Fire Tree Silver, jade plaza, Dragon Lord Treasure Hall... one brick and one tile, one grass and one tree.

Staggering, staggering.

The Great Elder Long Chen gazed at the majesty of the Dragon Palace, unable to speak for a long time, his eyes red.

The Dragon Lord had disappeared for a hundred or ten years, and the Dragon People clan had also left the Central Court Dragon Palace for decades...

Everything changed, and nothing changed.

At this moment, too many figures and too many regrets flashed through Long Chen's mind.

Ao Xingdao, Long Jinkui, Long Long Yuanjing, do you see it?

We finally...

Returned.

The white ape grinned: "Great Elder?"

The Great Elder Long Chen waved his hands repeatedly, wiped away his tears, tidied his clothes, respectfully, retreated three steps, and knelt on one knee.

"Subject, pays respects to the Water Lord!"

Splash.

White steam spread.

Dragon People knelt, Dragon Sturgeons prostrated.

"Dragon People clan, pays respects to the Water Lord!"

"Dragon Sturgeon clan, pays respects to the Water Lord!"

Cheers like a mountain and sea.

Water algae swayed, bubbles floated up faintly.

Golden eyes pressed down.

"If the Great Marsh is not swept, how can one be the Lord?"

Long Chen asked: "Where does the Water Lord want to sweep?"

The white ape pointed to the East Water.

"Ghost Mother Sect!"
