Chapter 1194

"Prince of Huai, I have already set up the three bridges. Can I temporarily switch to your Three Dragon Method?"

"The Three Dragon Method varies from person to person. Do not blindly switch. See if it fits you. As for changing, there is no problem, including Hunting Tiger. Frankly speaking, the difference between the two is not as big as you think. They can be interchanged, but the time for switching will increase with the process, perhaps taking several months or even a year and a half."

"Which of the four major martial halls in the world today is the best?"

"The Tianyu Martial Hall is directly under the Tianyu Guard, the emperor's close guards. It has a rich foundation and a broad future... The Longxiang Martial Hall... The Huaiyin Martial Hall wins by being the first in the world, a place for various policy pilots, suitable for those willing to venture... Each has its advantages and disadvantages. It depends on whether you like the south of the Yangtze River or the Imperial Capital."

"Prince of Huai, are the three grades of heaven and earth long Qi really important?"

Liang Qu pondered.

The wind came from the sky, rustling the Bodhi tree, and the ink in the inkstone rippled.

Huai Kong stopped his brush and concentrated.

"If there is no strife in the world, it is not important, all paths lead to the same destination; but since there is strife in the world and grievances among people, I think it is still important. However, what is suitable is the best."

The tip of the brush fell.

"Prince of Huai... does a person's life destiny have a deeper fit with the path of cultivation? Is there more Zheng Yin, or is the Pian Yin greater?"

Unlike the Vajra Bright King of the past, who understood the meaning of the six classics and involved books of a hundred schools, and could handle them with ease, the scriptures and lectures were thought-provoking and beneficial, and those who came to listen to the scriptures had different understandings.

The questions Liang Qu faced were more utilitarian.

Most were specific questions about cultivation, or future choices. Everyone wanted to rely on the status and strength of the Prince of Huai—the youngest Wu Sheng in the world—to have a bottom line in their hearts, an extra reliance and reference, to prove the correctness of their choices on the path of life and break through confusion.

Just like going to a temple to pray to gods and Buddhas.

If Liang Qu says yes, it's throwing three holy cups; if Liang Qu says no, it's three negative cups.

No, it's more authoritative than holy cups. People are more willing to believe in the Prince of Huai than in ghosts and gods. A twenty-eight-year-old Heavenly Dragon, all kinds of things, as if there is an extra "standard answer" for cultivation. Seeing differences, people rush to black out and rewrite, and those who can't change it regret it repeatedly.

It's really a headache.

In the world, who can one rely on in life? If you don't rely on yourself, who else can you rely on?

How can he be responsible for other people's choices and lives?

The leaves rustled, green and without snow.

"Hoo~"

Blowing dry the ink on the paper and closing the booklet, the hedgehog rubbed its eyes that hadn't closed for three days and jumped off the bench. The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong heard the movement, full of spirit, immediately flicked its dragon tail, held up two dragon claws, pointed at itself, then pointed at the hedgehog, and drifted over from the table...

The hedgehog nodded and bowed. When it bowed down, the corners of its mouth curled, and then it organized the last document and respectfully handed it to the little Xiao Xiao Shenlong.

The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong beamed and held the document to Liang Qu: "Boss, boss, the hedgehog has finished writing!"

"Hmm, let me see."

The hedgehog fell half a step behind and bowed to Liang Qu.

"Prince of Huai, please take a look. This is what little Hedgehog has modified. Does it need to be added separately?"

Liang Qu put down the scriptures and leaned back in his chair.

Opening the booklet, he didn't look at the content, but was first surprised by the neat annotations.

"Hey, quite neat. The annotations and modifications are not bad."

"Little Hedgehog doesn't have much talent, so I can only work hard on these minor details. If I can make you feel comfortable and not upset, then it's not a big mistake."

Ah ah ah!

The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong hugged its dragon horns, rolling in the air like a worm.

The Jin Mao Monkey King on the rafters laughed loudly, rolled backward, clapped his hands and feet, was hit on the forehead by a wisp of white mist, fell to the ground with his butt up, and fell into a "sleep".

Liang Qu drank tea, asking while watching:

"What do you think is the top priority for my fief and the Long Gong?"

"Naturally, it's the urgent financial situation. The treasury has no treasure, the king's treasury has no silver, the workers have no salary, and the water beasts have no treasure fish. These are the lubricants for the operation of the forces. If you don't have them for a while, you can persist, but in the long run, it is easy to collapse, which is definitely not a good strategy."

"Everyone knows the truth, so how should it be handled specifically?"

The hedgehog cleared its throat: "In my humble opinion, the land should be shelved for the time being. You have already made a start with the Heavenly Ship Chamber of Commerce and General Tie Mu Shan, so don't worry about the rest. Your waterway is undoubtedly a sharp weapon, but it cannot be actively spread."

"Water transport on the Jianghuai has long been controlled by various families. If you actively spread and intervene, letting various families try waterway transport, it is easy to annoy some old antiques, and local communication has early and late stages. Those who intervene early make money early, and those who intervene late suffer."

"Those who intervene late will not be grateful to you, but will only feel that you are not good, cutting off their wealth, and there will be no shortage of stumbling blocks. We are the masters, so we should wait for people to come to the door, develop our own first, let them see the benefits, and when they suffer losses, panic, fight internally, and blame each other, then it will be their own internal problem, and we can collect money again."

"Boss, that's what I thought too!" The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong hugged its arms with its claws.

Liang Qu almost sprayed out the tea.

"Yes, yes, yes, His Highness the Third Prince is wise and martial." The hedgehog flattered.

The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong raised its head.

"Third Prince, I have a task for you here." Liang Qu put down the teacup, feeling that he couldn't let the little Xiao Xiao Shenlong be idle.

"Yes, Boss, please give your orders!"

"You try to find out if there are any Mirage clans like you in the Huai River."

"Mirage clan?" The little Xiao Xiao Shenlong scratched its head. "Are there still Mirage clans in the Jianghuai? How many years has it been? There aren't many Dragon Men or Dragon Sturgeons left."

Looking at it now, the Mirage clan is obviously a dependent race that highly relies on the Xiao Xiao Shenlong, just like the Dragon Man race and the Dragon Sturgeon race. Once the Xiao Xiao Shenlong perishes, the entire ethnic group will wither rapidly.

Liang Qu shook his head: "The world is big, maybe not. Maybe there are a few left hiding in some corner. Didn't we think there were no River Jiaoren in the Jianghuai at the beginning? Didn't Quan Linghan find quite a few?"

"Besides, 'Shrimp, crab, turtle, and alligator, Qi gathers in the Mirage Tower, Mirage is originally pheasant transformation, coming from the hills.' The Mirage clan may have grown because of the Xiao Xiao Shenlong, but it is not necessarily completely a dependent clan."

"You can go and ask your ancestors. I have a big business, it's very important, maybe we can recreate the glory of the Mirage clan."

"Guarantee to complete the task!"

The dragon claws pressed against the horns, and the little Xiao Xiao Shenlong flew out of the small courtyard, falling all the way, and drilled into the waterway.

The hedgehog continued: "Land development is enough, the focus is underwater. In my opinion, you should first imprison the former subordinates of the Jiaolong!"

"Imprison?"

"That's right. List and collect the crimes of the water beasts that were loyal to the Jiaolong before, especially those who have persecuted Dragon Men and Dragon Sturgeons. Set a time limit, let them output to other water beasts and land in the name of atonement, and those who perform well can reduce the time limit."

"Right now the national treasury is empty, but empty does not mean 'nothing'. Allocate the gains of the water beasts to negative numbers. In this way, it is equivalent to creating wealth out of thin air, making the Great Marsh run smoothly for the time being, and then use the wealth created by these negative numbers to distribute to other water beasts."

"Like a carriage, it is difficult to pull at the beginning, but as long as the wheels can roll, it is much easier. There are several races here, lantern fish, dog-head fish are all..."

The hedgehog talked eloquently.

After a while.

Liang Qu listened: "The method is good, but the specific implementation is not just talk on paper."

"If you believe in little Hedgehog, and are willing to give it a try..."

"Tap, tap, tap."

The index finger tapped the armrest.

"I have two things here."

"Please give your orders."

"You go to Ningjiang Prefecture to find the Prince of Yue's son. There are several snake demons under the Prince of Yue, the leader is called Chi Lin. You go and borrow them, start with those few snake demons, let them find other water beasts, Chi Lin will be the captain."

"Chi Lin?" The hedgehog recited the name twice and wrote it down. "Understood, if it's snake demons, they should be the key objects of care. It's a pity that the snake clan runs fast. I didn't expect you to have some here."

"By mistake, I left a few. As for the rest, you..."

"Junior brother, pack up, get ready to go." Xiang Zhangsong's shouting came from outside the window.

"That's about it, you go and do it first."

"Understood!"

Handing the document to the hedgehog, Liang Qu walked out of the hall.

The ice in the water tank was a palm thick.

Cold and heat alternated with rain and snow. December was a day of sudden cold. The snow in the courtyard became thicker and thicker, from submerging the instep when he arrived, to covering the calves, and finally burying to the knees, leaving only a few curves, growing from the stairs of each room, exposing blue bricks, leading to the gate.

The little river otter was wrapped in a new bright red cotton-padded jacket, showing its head in the snow, holding a bundle with both hands, walking out of the house in a row. The Jin Mao Monkey King, who had woken up gloomily, looked around, rubbed his crimson palms, and when one wasn't paying attention, stuck it into the collar of the clothes.

The river otter shivered all over, rolled into the snow, the Jin Mao Monkey King bared his canine teeth, laughed loudly, and ran away.

It's January.

The coldest time of the year began.

Liang Qu looked at the misty sky and walked toward another small courtyard.

"Master, are you really not going back to Pingyang?"

The old monk flicked his prayer beads and smiled: "The four elements are empty, sit for a while, no distinction between you and me; both ends are roads, drink a cup, each goes east and west."

"I originally came chasing the evil monk. I went to Pingyang for ten years, saw the evil monk bring about his own destruction, and also saw the small town change into a county and then into a prefecture. Now that the Ghost Mother has been destroyed, and you have become a king, naturally there is no need to stay."

The withered branches rustled.

A sense of loss welled up in Liang Qu's heart, perhaps the first emotional backlash since becoming a king.

Because of the old monk, Su Guishan was brought here.

I still remember the sense of security of having two Perfected Form masters sitting in the east and west wing rooms of the small courtyard in those years. At that time, Tatta Kai and Scarface fought every day, fighting to the death.

Later, the old monk moved to the mountain in Pingyang, and only Su Guishan occasionally stayed.

Datong Prefecture is not comparable to Pingyang. The two are already separated by several provinces, and not on the side of the Huai River. If Liang Qu wants to come, he can't just come casually, but has to submit a visiting card three days in advance.

Recalling the past years, the old monk is completely no less than Liang Qu's second master.

However.

No one in the world lives for anyone, and no one exists for anyone.

Even parents have their own lives, let alone a high monk like the old monk?

Being able to meet is fate.

Liang Qu bowed respectfully, stood up and patted Huai Kong's shoulder: "Huai Kong, you also know that there is a waterway on the Jianghuai. I specifically set up one, passing through the Ba River to the Woxiang Lake. It will be convenient to go back and forth between east and west in the future. If you have time, come to Pingyang more often, hold a Dharma assembly or something, I'll cover it."

Huai Kong bowed: "Thank you, benefactor."

"Then, Master, I'm leaving! Next month for the New Year, Eying and I will come to Datong Prefecture to see you again! If there is anything you want to eat, let Scarface take the waterway to Pingyang and tell me!"

The old monk put his hands together.

"Huai Kong, Uncle Master, I'm leaving!"

"Benefactor, have a safe journey."

"Clatter."

The Elephant King fished the Creation Treasure Ship out of Woxiang Lake.

The Jin Mao Tiger carried the bundle, waving tears at the bow of the ship, and the wild boar and bat sang the song of the mountain.

On the thirty thousand hanging steps, Scarface stood on it, the yellow robe hunting, Tatta Kai stood below, the hair on his head flying.

His throat rolled a few times, he spat a mouthful of old phlegm on the ground, and Tatta Kai turned and left.

The Hanging Temple in the sky and the Fulong Temple on the ground slowly disappeared from view.

The gaze felt by the "Eye Consciousness Method" also dissipated without a trace.

"Hoo."

Liang Qu let out a long breath.

Finished.

A journey of a year of rushing about.

Clang, clang, dust rose, blue bricks piled into mountains.

Yixing County, the transformation process from Liang Mansion to Wang Mansion was in full swing.

The monkey flicked the ink line, measured repeatedly, still not sure, and called the big beaver. The big beaver clamped the blueprint, looked at it twice, pushed away the ink line handed by the monkey, tilted his head back, smashed it down hard, embedded his two front teeth on the wooden stake, twisted and wiped hard, drew a straight line, and finished by tidying up his hairstyle.

"Roar, roar, wow, wow!"

The monkey group jumped up and down, once again amazed by this miraculous measurement.

"Plop."

The fat catfish brought his fist and smashed into the pond.

Long Gong, North Water Palace, Wang Mansion, construction of thirteen ports, projects of the Frog clan not yet completed... Even with the fists of the third-stage Great Demon and the first-stage Great Demon, the epic upgrade of Fat Fist Heavy Industry welcomed the greatest challenge since its establishment.

Even so, the fist still had to be temporarily dismantled and borrowed to be responsible for exploring the mineral veins near the thirteen ports, to avoid the embarrassing situation of choosing a site on a mineral vein in the future and being unable to develop it.

The big renovation at home, dust rose, the roof was lifted, and there was no place for people to live.

Liang Qu simply took his whole family to live at his master's house, followed his senior brothers to teach at the Huaiyin Martial Hall during the day, and reviewed the documents sent by the Dragon Men, the hedgehog's reports, and the construction of the ports at night.

Every day's official business is different.

Since the lecture at the Hanging Temple, the news of Liang Qu updating the martial arts version has spread widely. Pingyang Prefecture was enthusiastic for a while, and people came to the Huaiyin Martial Hall every day, visiting one after another.

Fame spread far and wide.

This day.

The water spider climbed ashore, and Liang Qu looked around the big lake where the sturgeon demon once lived: "Senior brother, I think we can plant some trees outside the martial hall, surrounding the Sturgeon Lake, forming a tree-lined path, and then build a cobblestone road, forming a unique landscape."

"Plant trees?" Hu Qi was confused. "For no reason, why plant trees?"

"It looks good. In the future, it can become a tourist attraction. My Yixing port is a bridgehead, and the Huaiyin Martial Hall can also become a 'check-in' feature of Pingyang Prefecture. And Pingyang Mountain, around this lake, it is best to plant flowering trees, peach trees, plum blossoms, wisteria, kapok, phoenix trees, etc., surrounding it, just don't plant cherry blossoms."

"Tourist attraction?" Hu Qi was even more confused, but what the junior brother said must have his reasons. "Okay, it's winter now, it's not easy for saplings to survive. When it warms up in spring, I'll arrange it. Just plant peach trees. In summer, students can have peaches to eat. Your Yimu long Qi can also raise a batch of treasure peach trees. And if you don't say it, I won't plant cherry blossoms. They only bloom for a few days, and they wither too fast, which is unlucky."

"No, plant them now. I'll let Tie Mu Shan come to help cultivate them. They won't freeze to death. Taking advantage of the large number of people every day, the spread is wide, and we should make a name for ourselves as soon as possible, so we can make money in the future."

"Okay."

"Hahaha, my body is full of power, endless power!"

The teenager ran out of the martial hall, running wildly, his shoes were broken and hung on his ankles.

Looking twice, he came out of the inner hall.

At first glance, he was the winner of today's Tiger Amber long Qi, one tiger's power.

Seeing similar scenes every day made many people who came to borrow the new method tongue-tied. Almost everyone who came would sign up for classes in the martial hall for their own children.

New methods, long Qi, occasional care from Martial Saints, and what kind of visualization diagrams.

In the past, the Huaiyin Martial Hall only siphoned off the Southern Zhili, but now with the waterway, it directly started to absorb other provinces.

While expanding, Yang Dongxiong felt that managing thousands of people was too difficult, and had already requested to open other martial halls to share the burden.

"Clatter."

By the Sturgeon Lake.

Water spiders climbed ashore, each a zhang tall, covered in fluff.

"Come and try."

Liang Qu waved.

Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen, and Jin Xiaoyu took the lead, immediately climbed onto the back of the water spider, watched the water spider weave an air cover, wrapped them in it, and finally drilled into the waterway.

Shuttle to Southern Zhili and return.

No dizziness, no vomiting, clothes neat, aftertaste endless.

The three went to Huangzhou, all experienced the violence of the vortex escape path, didn't expect there was such a comfortable way to shuttle?

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, go back to class."

"Yes!"

The concept is successful!

Liang Qu recorded seriously.

He slowed down the speed of the waterway by a hundred times, and then greatly improved the stability.

To develop tourism, you definitely can't let noble ladies come out dizzy, soaked, and with messy hair.

Good mood ruined.

Decency is a must.

For this, Liang Qu designed two methods.

One is a diving capsule, wrapped in two shuttle-shaped wooden shells to ensure airtightness, and can float on its own, with heavy objects suspended inside, but there will still be strong rotation, more favored for transporting goods and making it convenient for martial hall students to go home.

The second is the water spider under the command of the Sea House Master. When he let the River Bo Office rent it, it was for this purpose. The water spider controls the balance and weaves bubbles to wrap it. It can carry about twenty people at a time, decent and comfortable. For the sake of stability, speed is sacrificed a lot. Crossing a province takes about two quarters of an hour, and it is tentatively scheduled to charge by seat.

Repeatedly recorded.

Providing complete construction for the fief, Liang Qu did not forget another more important thing.

Night.

Liang Qu came to the base camp of the Ghost Mother Sect where he once made the King of Chu commit suicide.

The Ghost Mother's ten hands were spread out, holding different things. In the golden eyes, twenty embryos were curled up in the palms.

A pile of "souls" on hand.

King of Chu, Yi Chen, elders of various sects...

The Ghost Mother Sect in the world of the living is gone, but the Ghost Mother Sect in the underworld should appear.
