Chapter 119: The Adventures of the Fat Catfish (Part 1)

Candlelight flickered, shadows danced.

Liang Qu sat cross-legged, countless light patterns flashing and intertwining in the Ze Cauldron of his consciousness.

【Absorbed a wisp of dragon-species Qi, obtained one Ying Dragon Pattern】

His spine ached as if it were being branded by a hot iron, as if something were tearing through his skin, a sensation that lasted for a full quarter of an hour.

The pain dissipated. Liang Qu tore open his clothes and reached out to touch, but touched nothing; nothing strange had grown on his body.

He came outside the quiet room, and the house was empty.

The main house was built yesterday. Except for the bed, nothing had been furnished, let alone a mirror.

Liang Qu turned and ran into the courtyard, controlled clear water from the water vat to spread into a flat surface, and leaned the candle against it.

The candlelight was dim, and figures could be faintly seen on the water flow.

Only then did he see that there was an extra pale golden long pattern on the skin above Liang Qu's spine, an extremely long "s," extending from his neck to his waist and abdomen, extremely thin, similar to the brush strokes of a wolf-hair hook-line pen, barely noticeable if you didn't look closely.

This is the Ying Dragon Pattern?

What's the use?

【Pattern gives birth to Ying Dragon, wandering through the Zhouyou Liuxu, Layer: 1】

【Obtained River Favor 0.01】

Liang Qu's mind exploded with a bang.

With just a trance, it was bright before his eyes, day and night reversed.

The high mountains were towering, the green pines were straight, and the clouds and mist rolled and flowed above and below him.

Liang Qu found that he had no limbs, no body, as if he had turned into a wisp of clear, strange Qi, with only a trace of thought left, rising slowly, lightly skimming across the sky, passing through mountains, rivers, great marshes, and wilderness.

From day to night, from the deep sea to the towering mountains.

Morning light, sunset, stars, flowing clouds, green pines...

The million-year snow mountains never changed. The wind and snow went south, turning into water and entering the rivers. The river water entered the sea, endless.

Magma flowed under the water, forever permeating water vapor...

"Changing without staying, wandering through the Zhouyou Liuxu, rising and falling without constancy, hardness and softness changing..."

Wind and clouds rolled, fallen leaves flew.

The radiance of the stars and moon poured down, and a layer of mercury flowed slowly on the roof.

Liang Qu stood on the flying eaves, his clothes swaying gently, the eaves bells ringing with the wind, startling the resting spring birds.

How did I get up here?

Liang Qu looked around, his face showing confusion. He didn't remember how he got up at all, as if he had turned into a wisp of clear wind, and when he opened his eyes again, he was on the roof.

Wandering through the Zhouyou Liuxu.

Liang Qu's study at the academy wasn't in vain.

Wandering through the Zhouyou Liuxu, filling the heaven and earth, Qian and Kun positioned, the six hexagrams acting as "voids," the so-called Zhouyou Liuxu, which are the upper, lower, and four directions.

Among them, rising and falling without constancy, increasing and decreasing without constancy, rotating without constancy, gathering and dispersing without constancy, separating and combining without constancy.

Hardness and softness changing, Yin turns to Yang, Yang turns to Yin, movement gives birth to stillness, stillness returns to movement.

Ying Dragon is a winged dragon. Is the Ying Dragon Pattern it bestows related to the changes of stillness and movement?

Understanding the changes in it, perhaps one can wander through the upper, lower, and four directions without obstruction...

The strange change of turning into clear, strange Qi in his imagination was vivid. At that time, he could go anywhere in the world, reach anywhere, and any place only needed a thought.

Everything that flows has its form.

Coupled with suddenly coming to the flying eaves, this should be an ability he can master.

Liang Qu secretly pondered.

In addition, the appearance of the River Favor degree was also an unexpected surprise.

One Ying Dragon Pattern has a favor degree of 0.01. Previously, he held a River God Festival and only got 0.0001. The gap is a full hundred times.

What changes will there be when he goes to the Jianghuai River again?

Jianghuai Marshes.

The Fat Catfish wandered alone in the water area, strictly following Liang Qu's instructions to explore the surroundings.

Seriously looking for "very large ships, but underwater," "fish I haven't seen before, horned fish I've seen, red-skinned fish, spotted fish," "things that glow," "hard stones I haven't seen before."

There were too many things. Sometimes it couldn't remember clearly, so it just looked for things it hadn't seen much.

While swimming and patrolling, the Fat Catfish's side tail suddenly tilted uncontrollably, as if someone had grabbed its tail and pulled it hard, losing its direction and falling into the silt.

The fat catfish was furious, lashing its tail in all directions. Mud splashed, and a large patch of silt billowed up from the riverbed, creating a massive pit, yet it found no sign of the attacker.

The matter was very tricky.

It was a powerful guy.

The Fat Catfish crawled in the mud, vigilantly looking around, moving forward bit by bit. Suddenly, another huge force smashed onto its big back. The Fat Catfish swung its body to bite back, but still bit into empty air. Around it, there was nothing but water and mud, and nothing else.

The Fat Catfish felt panic. The dark water seemed to hide a great crisis. The invisible enemy was hiding in the dark, completely undetectable!

Too scary.

It didn't dare to explore anymore, its long tail hit the water and turned to leave, but the enemy in the dark seemed to no longer hide, attacking incessantly, with great force.

In the pulling of great force, the Fat Catfish couldn't control its body shape, being wrapped and swaying left and right.

Only then did it see clearly that there was no enemy around at all; it was all the water flow playing tricks!

The Fat Catfish had grown so big, but had never seen such strange water flow.

There must be treasure inside!

Find it and offer it to the Heavenly God!

The Fat Catfish remembered Liang Qu's instructions, its whiskers flicked diligently, found the direction from which the turbulent flow came, curled its body like a snake, exerted all its strength to swing its body, and plunged into the deepest part of the turbulent flow.

In the powerful water flow, the Fat Catfish could still struggle a bit at first, but later, the dark current became more and more intense, each strike comparable to the whip of Cannot-Move's long tail, hitting it with pain, and it could no longer control its body shape, flying along with the water flow to an unknown place.

It was like being grabbed by the tail and swung three thousand six hundred times. Just as it was about to faint, it was finally thrown out by the turbulent flow and plunged headfirst into the mud and sand.

Such hard ground.

The suffocating Fat Catfish wanted to come out of the silt, but found that the mud here was completely different from the silt in the river before; it wasn't soft at all, and it took a lot of effort to pull its head out.

Shaking its head to shake off the mud and sand, the dizzy Fat Catfish lost its direction completely and stumbled against something soft.

It simply leaned against the softness to rest for a long time. After it recovered, it looked up and found that the place it was leaning against didn't know what it was, a large blue-black area, completely endless, very smooth and elastic.

The Fat Catfish whipped its tail against it, and the whole wall surged like waves, which was quite fun.

It whipped its tail several times in a row, then turned to look at other places, and was instantly stunned by a huge surprise.

Ship!

A very large ship, but underwater!

The Fat Catfish swam happily toward the sunken ship, but before it arrived, the water flow around it stirred violently.

A giant hand like a pillar of heaven smashed down, the entire bottom of the water was like an earth dragon turning over, and mud and sand dozens of meters high surged over.

The Fat Catfish was bounced back by the water flow and smashed back onto the soft wall.

Looking up again, two huge yellow lamps lit up in the mud and sand, approaching...

On the eaves.

Liang Qu stretched his arms, the wind brushing through his fingers, perceiving the fluid changes that were everywhere.

He had the ability to breathe underwater, his whole body's 108,000 pores breathed naturally, and every trace of airflow change was clear in his heart.

Following the previous feeling, the surrounding Qi machine changed rapidly, as if using water-jumping in the water, and the world was silent.

Opening his eyes again.

The water vat rippled slightly, showing the reflection of the jujube tree.

Down again.

Liang Qu slightly calmed his mood. He had dragon tendons and tiger bones, and his strength was boundless compared to those in the same realm, but he lacked a lot in movement techniques.

He had originally wanted to ask for a lower-grade martial arts movement technique after a while, but he didn't expect to master it without a teacher today, and it was far more brilliant than the so-called movement martial arts! ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
