Chapter 1186

"Yo, this guy has quite a temper, looks like someone capable." Xu Xu Zishuai looked at Huo Zhao Hongyuan, who ignored him and walked straight away, shaking the water off his leather pouch.

Lu Gang took off his clothes and wrung them out: "You really don't remember?"

"Remember what?" Xu Xu Zishuai was puzzled.

"He is Huo Zhao Hongyuan, the Sea Patrol Yaksha fate, a person from the Huo family in Yunzhou next to Huangzhou. He has a natural martial bone. He is the Ji Water Leopard among the twenty-eight constellations. Back then at the Great Hunting Meeting, the little junior brother picked him off with a spear. You even placed a bet. Now he works in the River Patrol Office, right?"

"He is in the River Patrol Office." Xiang Fangsu nodded.

"Huo?!" Xu Xu Zishuai widened his eyes and slapped his forehead hard, "Remembered, my bad, my bad! No wonder he looked familiar. I just said I had seen him."

"Why does A-Shui always make such a big scene?" Ke Ko Wenbin looked up at the water column, "What does it mean to be held in the water column?"

The setting sun shone through the water column, and the floating light jumped like gold.

Rather than a column, it was more like a tower, a tower reaching the sky. Its vast area was almost impossible to verify, making one suspect whether most of the people in the province could see it.

However, what was even more shocking was the first-place reward—a Mysterious Yellow Card!

The Great Hunting Meeting is for those under thirty-five, regardless of realm, gender, or place of origin, all can participate.

According to past practice, setting aside individual cases, young people of this age are at most at the initial Hunting Tiger stage. Giving a wisp of heaven and earth long Qi as a reward is definitely the top of the top. Even if it wasn't starting tomorrow, it might have affected the young talents of a whole province. Anyway, trying it doesn't cost money. Even Perfected Form experts can't help but be moved. Exchanging it for great medicine is also several portions, which is also excellent for leaving to one's own descendants.

"What a big move!"

"The Prince of Huai is indeed emotional and righteous. He made a fortune from our Huangzhou back then, and now he has returned with interest. But what is the meaning of participating in the water column? You don't have to go in, right?"

"Prince of Huai! Prince of Huai! Prince of Huai!"

The young people of Huangzhou and Yunzhou still remembered the scene of the past, excited and unable to bear it, rubbing their hands and fists, shouting Liang Qu's royal title, wishing the Great Hunting Meeting would start now.

【Spanning the Great River, Manifesting like the Sun】

【River governance degree: 0.7】

【Spanning the Great River, Manifesting like the Sun】

【River governance degree: 0.8】

"Hoo!"

It works!

Liang Qu stood on the clouds, maintaining the water column so it wouldn't collapse, and set up 【Sky-Propping Pillar】 and 【Vortex Escape Path】 one after another. Seeing the governance degree jump one after another, he was happy in his heart.

Spectacle! Spectacle! It's still the damn spectacle!

The bigger the scene! The more powerful the governance!

This is the majesty of a Great King.

The crowd on the ground gathered more and more. Countless people walked out of their homes, shocked to observe the water column reaching the sky.

【Spanning the Great River, Manifesting like the Sun】

【River governance degree: 0.9】

Another wisp, the heavenly sound spread widely.

"My lords, in the past, the Great Hunting Meeting was divided into three types: water beasts, land beasts, and bird beasts. In the session I participated in, it was divided into treasure fish in the water, spirit deer on land,

and birds in the sky. Alive, three points each; dead, one point; deer, bird, fish, one of each, counts as five points; all alive, fifteen points. I remember it vividly.

I thought this was not magnificent enough, and not refreshing enough! The wild forests are hard to observe, and the crowded heads are hard to identify. This time, land treasure beasts and birds, don't want them at all, throw them away, discard them, only hunt treasure fish! Treasure fish are also divided into three types: ox horn, tiger head spot, and red blood perch. All treasure fish are in this water column!

This thirteen-layer water column starts from the bottom layer. The water pressure doubles every layer, and the treasure fish points also increase! One layer, one point; two layers, two points; three layers, three points, and so on. The higher you go, the more points you get! In the same layer, all three types of treasure fish are present, points double; all alive, double again!

Once you step into the water column and participate in the Great Hunting Meeting, you cannot completely leave, otherwise it will be treated as giving up. The one with the highest points wins!"

Wow!

The crowd on the ground was shocked.

The young people who were just rubbing their hands and fists were like being poured with a basin of cold water, stunned on the spot. The apprentices of the Huaiyin Martial Hall who came to join in the fun didn't expect it to be such a rule.

"Gee, this is too difficult, right?" Xu Xu Zishuai gasped, "Activities in the water are already full of difficulties. How to change breath halfway? Even if it's Wolf Smoke, once you really move and fight, you still can't persist for half an hour.

The Great Hunting Meeting lasts for several days, right? And how high is the water pressure at the top layer? Doubling every layer, it's the bottom layer's—my god, 4,100 times?"

Xiang Fangsu crossed his arms: "The key is that we don't know what the water pressure at the bottom layer is. There is no reference. If there is pressure at the bottom layer, then almost no one can ascend to the top layer."

"Don't be anxious. A-Shui shouldn't set a task that is impossible to achieve. At least Wolf Smoke has True Gang to protect the body, it should be able to ascend to the top layer, but it can't be active for a long time, it needs to return to the middle and lower layers to rest from time to time, and he said it cannot 'completely leave'." Lu Gang added.

"Senior brother means—"

A beautiful picture appeared in Xiang Xiang Zhangsong's mind: a person fighting halfway, panting and sticking his head out of the water column to breathe, and then drilling back in.

This is the ultimate test of physical strength and combat strategy, especially the unique scoring mechanism. Catching three types of treasure fish at the top layer is thirteen times the bottom layer, but the difficulty increased by "4,000 times," and the unfamiliar environment is inevitably nervous, which will aggravate the consumption of physical strength and the need for breathing.

"Did I make a mistake—"

Xiong Yiheng, Du Rong Hanwen, and Jin Xiaoyu looked at each other, scratching their ears and cheeks. As outstanding disciples of the Huaiyin Martial Hall who had met the Saint, the three of them had all reached the Galloping Horse stage when they went to the Magistrate Jian Shui to observe the heaven and earth anomalies. Today, they were brought by the instructor to broaden their horizons and participate in the Great Hunting Meeting as student leaders, but this—

"Is Senior Brother Liang too strong now, standing too high, and has no concept of the strength of Galloping Horse and Wolf Smoke?"

"Feels a bit—"

"Can't do it—"

The leader swayed, and the students behind were even more desperate, feeling regret.

The credits of the Martial Hall are getting harder and harder to earn.

"What are you panicking about? If you think about life when facing battle, then the battle will definitely not be strong." Hu Qi turned back and scolded, "It didn't ask you to win first place. In the past Great Hunting Meetings, most were Galloping Horse main forces, a small half were Wolf Smoke, and very few were Hunting Tiger. You are the main force. It will definitely give Galloping Horse Martial Artists a chance to play. Our Huaiyin Martial Hall is adjacent to Jianghuai and is good at teaching water-attribute martial arts. Now is your advantage!"

"Senior Brother Hu is right!"

"Do it!"

"Don't be afraid, don't worry, I know the difficulty."

Everyone stopped arguing, raised their heads and pricked up their ears, listening to Liang Qu's words again.

"Just like the Great Hunting Meetings in the past, when I came to Huangzhou back then, there were guard posts in the forest to rest during the fighting. There are three functions.

First, a hunter encounters a guard post, can voluntarily register the number of hunts. If the number of prey differs by more than five each time, add one point; second, spend a live spirit beast, and can store prey once, lasting for five hours, during which others cannot snatch it; third, others can spend spirit beasts to know the information of the storer.

Similarly, in this water column, I have set up a large number of 'bubbles', whose functions are exactly the same as the guard posts, for breathing, resting, and storing treasure fish. In many unexpected places, I have arranged undercurrents and set up waterways. If there is a lucky person, they can pass through the waterways, from the bottom layer, straight to the top layer to catch fish!"

With the help of the last bit of sunset light, everyone saw the water column churning, and a large number of bubbles emerged inside. They didn't float out, but quietly hovered in mid-air.

Inevitably, the discussion arose again.

"It's a bit difficult, but it seems not completely impossible to play. Straight to the top layer, then you can occupy the entrance of the so-called waterway, go back and forth quickly, save physical strength, and catch more fish... No matter what, it's a Mysterious Yellow Card. It's normal to have difficulty."

"And there are so many bubbles, so dense, it's not necessarily necessary to swim outside to change breath. This water column is so huge, even in the same layer, it's not so easy to meet, right?"

"Damn, I haven't learned water-attribute martial arts!"

"No? The front is Pengze, you are a Huangzhou person, and you haven't learned water-attribute martial arts?"

"Did the Prince of Huai use any means? Why does it seem like the picture has been enlarged?"

Crack.

Stepping on withered grass.

Huo Zhao Hongyuan stood under the water column, his Adam's apple constantly rolling.

Water pressure doubles every layer, and there are countless bubbles hovering without floating, countless undercurrent waterways—

Great power, wonderful great power!

The water tower reaching the sky is towering into the clouds, its diameter is no different from the city wall. Looking left and right, you can't see the boundary at all. The most peculiar thing is that it seems to use the principle of a telescope. The fish that should have been the size of a palm are enlarged to several feet, like the huge cloth shadows in Jiangchuan County.

Flying birds often can't dodge in time and crash into the water column, turning out cotton-white water foam.

"Martial Saint—"

Huo Zhao Hongyuan remembered the events of nine years ago vividly, but at this moment, the gap between each other was like the natural chasm water column in front of him, standing clearly in front of him!

"What are you doing? Little Liang?"

On Pengze, General Yuan rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dazzled. After looking for a long time, he found that there was indeed a stick standing on the horizon.

"Young people just love to show off, don't know how to be low-key—"

Turtle claws paddled the water, drifting towards the center of Pengze.

Leaving is right.

【Spanning the Great River, Manifesting like the Sun】

【River governance degree: 1】

Wild grass is lush.

More and more people couldn't sleep, came close to observe, marveled at the Prince of Huai's handwriting, and the bold ones dared to reach into it to feel the water pressure intensity. In places further away, hearing that the Mysterious Yellow Card was the reward, they rushed day and night to participate in the Great Hunting Meeting.

"Is it gone?"

Liang Qu sat at the top of the water column, witnessing the brilliance of the Ze Tripod disappear, the governance degree rose to a complete point, and then there was no sound.

At dusk, the water column stood, the governance degree jumped twice, then the third time was slow, and the fourth time just popped out at midnight.

By the time the Great Hunting Meeting is truly convened, it should be able to jump two more waves.

"It seems that a place relying on this kind of simple spectacle has an upper limit. It is estimated that it is not strange, and it is desensitized. However, the Huai River has passed through eleven provinces. Nanzhili has done it, and it can do it nine more times. Adding up to five points should be possible—it is not difficult."

The Huangzhou Great Hunting Meeting gave Liang Qu inspiration. He has thirteen ports under his rule. Once the initial construction is successful and they become real ports, he will make some big scenes during festivals, calling it increasing "traffic," but actually engaging in big spectacles to increase the governance degree. It is reasonable and compliant. With a fief, the biggest advantage is that you don't have to report if you don't make people angry and resentful, and don't affect the surroundings.

Blowing the night wind, while waiting for the governance degree, Liang Qu turned out the booklet he got when he reported to the ancestors in the imperial capital.

"Self-cultivating Fruit"

October 27th.

Evening.

The Great Hunting Meeting is for sacrificing to the Hunting Moon. Rice is harvested from the fields, and the full moon illuminates the mountains and forests. Hunters sharpening their knives use this light to hunt prey covered in autumn. Therefore, the Great Hunting Meeting has always started at dusk.

Liang Qu took his family to find the best mountain for observing the competition, manipulated the vortex water, and projected the scene inside clearly like a magnifying glass, which was more immersive than watching in the mountains and forests.

On the banks of the Ba River, a crowd of people gathered, participating in bone-touching, testing age, and obtaining competition tokens.

Xiong Yiheng, Du Rong Hanwen, Jin Xiaoyu, and dozens of selected Martial Hall disciples had their chests heaving, breathing quickly, hoping that after they entered, they could persist longer.

On the way to line up.

Some people were dusty, some were whispering, and most had a sense of dislocation and trance.

Many young people in Huangzhou and Yunzhou who were around twenty years old and came to join in the fun and broaden their horizons back then are now around thirty, the main force of the championship favorites. They have both seen Liang Qu win the championship and witnessed today's great power.

Ten years ago, Liang Qu participated in the competition and won a prize. Ten years later, Liang Qu watched the competition and gave a prize. It seems that everyone is practicing in two completely different worlds, just with a moment of intersection.

The last bit of light was taken away from the earth.

Darkness enveloped.

There was no galloping horse, no smoke and dust. This year's competition system had no place for horses to play.

The bright moon was bright.

The big flag was waved down.

"Charge!"

"The enemy is close, narrow and not lined up, heaven helps me!"

The crowd jumped into the water, and the huge vortex swallowed everyone. In the spinning, they were transmitted into the water tower reaching the sky, evenly scattered at the bottom layer.

Those with insufficient strength experienced the waterway for the first time, spinning, and were stimulated by the cold water in late autumn. They were caught off guard and choked on several mouthfuls of water, their faces flushed red, and they hurriedly looked for bubbles.

Others drowned and fainted directly.

Liang Qu summoned with a big hand, dragged everyone outside, and concentrated on rescue.

The onlookers gathered into a crowd, circling the huge water column occupying a county like ants.

"Splash."

Full of silver-white bubbles, Du Rong Hanwen practiced water-attribute martial arts and had no major problems. The water pressure was also within the tolerance range of his three-aperture Galloping Horse. After a few turns, he stabilized his balance and looked around. He could see big fish swimming, but he didn't find Xiong Yiheng and Jin Xiaoyu, nor did he see other participants, which showed the size of the water column.

He didn't dare to delay and hurriedly looked for bubbles.

There were many bubbles at the bottom layer, and the water in the water column was clear and transparent. Even at night, the vision was unobstructed. There were dozens of them in sight, and no one was eliminated due to suffocation.

Compared to the upper layers, the bottom layer was undoubtedly a safe base camp.

With a forceful rush, he drilled into a bubble, and his breathing became smooth instantly. The air was fresh, and there was no water pressure here. Du Rong Hanwen's nervous mood was relieved, but looking at the vast water area, he suddenly lost his idea, poured out fear, and didn't know what to do.

After a while.

Du Rong Hanwen decided to go up and explore the environment first.

Not only Du Rong Hanwen, but most people made the same choice.

Outside the water column, a whole layer of "big screen" was enlarged, and even jellyfish glowed, and everyone could see it clearly.

The participants moved upwards together, like plants growing towards the sky, forming a different kind of beautiful scenery.

Shuttle, jump, change breath, bubble after bubble. Du Rong Hanwen felt that it was much more strenuous than simple swimming. He didn't know how far he had run. The water area blurred people's perception of distance. Only after swimming for a long time, the pressure on his body sank.

Looking around, the bubbles seemed to be fewer.

Move around, the pressure is acceptable, continue to go up.

"So clear, can see everything!"

"Which one is the student of the Martial Hall?"

With their lower abdomens pressed against the railing, Long Yao and Long Li half-lay and looked at the "big screen," chattering.

The people on the ground have experienced so many Great Hunting Meetings, and this is the first time they have clearly seen the hunting scene, and in different places, the enlarged people are also different. You can see whoever you want.

Everyone couldn't believe it, reached out to touch the water column, and ushered in a strong sensory stimulation. Listening to storytelling and watching big plays on weekdays is already an incredible audio-visual enjoyment. When have they experienced such "entertainment"?

Even the great families have never seen it, and everyone's eyeballs are about to pop out.

"Prince of Huai, you, how did you do this?" Bei Fangxing was shocked. He saw the treasure fish enlarged last night and thought it was the effect of the water column shape. He never expected it to be deliberately set up, so spectacular.

"Very simple. The water column is divided into inner and outer layers. The water in the outer layer is different. It has been refined by me. It will be like a magnifying glass, locking onto everyone, and then projecting it to the surface."

Xu Xu Wanxing didn't understand, but knew it was very powerful, excited and unable to bear it: "Forgive me for being blunt, you have such supernatural skills, you shouldn't be limited to this small Great Hunting Meeting!"

The Great Hunting Meeting does not collect tickets and enjoys with the people. If tickets are collected and it becomes a grand event, how much silver will there be every year! When have those high-ranking officials seen such a scene?

Furthermore, the Prince of Huai's waterway is spread out, and it takes only one day to go back and forth. There is no need to worry about the fatigue of cars and horses. The whole Great Shun can participate. Just thinking about it is extremely exciting.

Liang Qu laughed: "I know what Department Magistrate Bei means, and I have this intention. However, the weather is too cold further down, which is not conducive to participation or watching. Therefore, if it is to be held, it should be held in summer, and I have already decided on the date."

"Dare to ask the Prince of Huai what date it is set on? If I have time, I will definitely rush to support!"

"June 6th."

Xu Xu Wanxing was surprised: "River God Festival?"

Liang Qu nodded.

Yixing Town did not hold the River God Festival this year, but the date is a good date and cannot be wasted.

"Up, up, someone caught a treasure fish!"

"The one in front is so fast, reached the top! Wait, the highest is only the third layer, how did he get up?"
