Chapter 233: Making Up for Shortcomings

The dense forest rose and fell along the mountain, with lush zelkova, red pine, and pine needles intertwined and airtight.

Liang Qu stood on the open mountain top, the long-lost sunlight spilling down, evaporating the moldy dampness on his body.

The entire Huaiyin Prefecture, especially the six or seven large counties in the southeast, had experienced more than half a month of alternating heavy and light rain, and there was no sign of it stopping yet; the number of times he had seen the sun could be counted on his fingers.

Only in the dream created by the Mirage Insect could he experience the long-lost sunny day.

Liang Qu sat cross-legged, his palms empty, and the Thunder-character Seal Technique appeared in his hands.

He tossed it lightly, and the scroll floated in mid-air, unfolding to both sides, with black characters slowly printed on the white paper.

Only about one-fifth of it was unfolded, and the content behind gradually twisted into black tadpole shapes, crooked, occasionally mixed with some clear characters.

The reason was simple: Liang Qu hadn't memorized the content behind at all, so naturally, he couldn't manifest it in the dream.

The time was too short, and the entire Thunder-character Seal Technique had quite a lot of words; he couldn't memorize the whole content without spending some effort.

However, the content of one-fifth included the general outline and the complete practice method of the first part, which didn't hinder his practice in the dream.

The key to the entire Thunder-character Seal Technique lay in the word "Thunder."

Yin ends and Yang is born; thunder is Yang wood.

Observe the thunder phase, use blood energy to carve and nourish the thunder talisman; this is the first step, then use the thunder talisman to generate thunder energy, and then practice the attack method and movement method.

If there are corresponding heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or if one can contemplate the thunder marsh in spring and realize the feeling of Yang energy bursting, all can accelerate the formation of the thunder talisman.

This was also the reason why Liang Qu no longer created desert dreams and turned to come to the forest.

"Don't know if I can carve out the thunder talisman in half a month, and then practice the Thunder Bright Strength and the Thunder Stepping..."

Although the Thunder-character Seal Technique was won from the duel with Wei Shao, its compatibility with him was not low, and it might make up for the shortcomings in movement techniques.

That's right, shortcomings.

The martial arts Liang Qu currently practiced were only the Green Dragon Seven-Kill Spear and the Falling Star Arrow, and the Ape Fist could barely count.

The Dragon-Tiger Golden Body was the external manifestation of the cultivation technique "Dragon-Subduing Tiger-Subduing Jin Gang Jing," which strictly speaking didn't count as a martial art; it was a secret mystery in the cultivation technique, much like the stabilization and introspection in "Wan Sheng Holding Yuan."

Except for these two martial arts, Liang Qu hadn't practiced any movement-type martial arts, which should have been a sufficient shortcoming, but his conditions were good.

His underwater battles were basically crushing, no need to detour, and there was the Leaping Technique to assist from the side.

On land, there was also the Ying-Dragon pattern of "Wandering Zhouyou Liuxu," which filled his hardware conditions to the brim.

Currently, the assistance of the Ying-Dragon pattern allowed him to max out his evasion below the Galloping Horse realm, unless he encountered large-scale covering attacks.

But large-scale attacks must abandon some precision and power, and Liang Qu also had the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body, which was stronger than ordinary hard-body techniques even at the start.

One dodge and one defense, almost invincible.

If the other party wanted to break the law with force and suppress people with realm, that was another matter.

Everyone has a time of weakness; encountering such people shouldn't be a head-on collision, but a detour.

The first step is to go home and find the master; if the master can't handle it, take the second step, ask the old monk if it works; if none of them work, take the final step, go pull noodles and ask Xu Yuelong, find his Earl father, Duke grandfather.

This is the relationship network; others pull one hair and the whole body moves.

Some people like to place themselves outside the relationship network, walking on thin ice, trembling with fear.

Little do they know that heaven and earth are not benevolent, treating all things as straw dogs; the path is chosen by oneself.

The survival rate of a crisis is 50%, and after three crises, the survival probability is no more than one-tenth.

Liang Qu chose to place himself in the relationship network and rise with the wind.

If someone really wants to mess with him, they can only play dark tricks.

Regrettably, the Ying-Dragon pattern has shortcomings, or rather, Liang Qu's shortcomings.

The level of the single-layer Ying-Dragon pattern is too low, unable to achieve true "Wandering Zhouyou Liuxu," currently only able to move with the wind and dodge attacks, and is much worse in initiative, able to retreat but not advance.

Defense is more than enough, but attack is insufficient.

If it can be combined with the Thunder Stepping in the Thunder-character Seal Technique, it will definitely be able to advance and retreat, and be more composed.

Moreover, the Thunder Bright Strength in the Seal Technique is a top-notch strength method, with strong explosiveness and high lethality.

"Wan Sheng Holding Yuan" has Bright Yuan Strength, and "Dragon-Subduing Tiger-Subduing Jin Gang Jing" has Dragon-Tiger Diamond Strength.

Both are good, but the cultivation technique hasn't reached that level, so he can't use half of it, just right to take Thunder Bright Strength as a transition.

Pity, having competed in swimming once, next time he looks for someone to compete, he guesses no one will agree; a pit can only be dug once.

Collecting his thoughts, Liang Qu closed his eyes.

Lightning flashed between heaven and earth, and the thunder galloped past from the sky like ten thousand horses, leaving a faint impression in his heart.

Observe the thunder phase.

On the pier, fishermen tied up boat ropes and carried fish baskets.

Lin Songbao was not seen in the fishing pen, but two other young men were receiving goods, weighing the fish eyes.

The outside sound was noisy, occasionally coming with the fishermen's loud laughter; a fisherman, fearing others would leak the weight, and not wanting to miss the fun, stepped out with one foot and stretched his head out, happening to see Chen Yi carrying two large fish baskets, and hurriedly shouted.

"Brother Chen, caught so many fish today? Any good goods? If there are good goods, point out a path!"

"Yes, how could there not be? Look!"

Chen Yi grabbed a large fish with bright silver light from the fish basket, its tail flicking and flying out water foam.

The fisherman was taken aback, first looked back at the fish count, then stretched his head out and shouted loudly.

"Golden Rainbow Trout!"

"Fart, the "Fish Phase Record" that Lord Liang got from the River Office is posted on the wall; did you just look at it for nothing? Silver Sand Carp! One jin of meat is worth one tael and two qian!"

"Strange, one jin must be worth a few taels?"

"You're dizzy, what are you saying?"

"Phew phew phew, one fish must be worth a few taels?"

"Seven or eight qian, at most one jin; speaking of which, yesterday I saw the red-blooded perch that Lord Liang swam to catch at Pingyang Pier, good fellow, six or seven jin, that was big enough!"

Someone interrupted.

"Why are the treasure fish we catch so small."

"One jin of fish, ten jin of force; treasure fish have to turn ten times, one jin of fish has one hundred jin of force! How much meat do you have on your body? Thinking of catching big treasure fish? We don't have that life!

Didn't you notice that the places where we can catch fish are further away, and the number of times the net breaks has increased? Maybe it was a treasure fish that drilled out for you!"

"You said this, making my heart itch, as if I threw away silver."

The passerby grabbed his collar, drooping his eyebrows, and felt uncomfortable thinking that a treasure fish might have stayed in his net.

"Can't say it like that; last year Old Chen, Chen Qingjiang, didn't he catch a big blue-backed carp? He went down in winter and gave it a stick, knocking it unconscious; can it still turn up waves with great force? See if you dare."

"That's not a fish, it's dozens of taels of cash, I definitely dare!"

Chen Yi looked down on the strength: "Hey, you are naturally brave on the shore... Yo, Lord Liang! Lord Liang is here!"

Liang Qu came to the pier and heard someone calling him, laughing: "So lively, caught good things?"

"Silver Sand Carp! At least seven qian!"

"Not bad."

Liang Qu went over to take a look, it was indeed a Silver Sand Carp.

A few days ago, he spent two qian of silver at the River Office to buy a "Fish Phase Record," recording common treasure fish, half pictures and half words.

After reading it, he tore it off and posted it under the eaves of the fishing pen hut, everyone could recognize it, and those who didn't know characters were taught how to read the names by those who did.

Quite effective.

"That must be thanks to Lord Liang." Chen Yi led Liang Qu into the tea shop first, "Lord Liang, sit down, I'll treat you to tea."

"Uncle Chen Yi, if you want to sell fish, don't look for me, go to the martial arts hall to find my senior brother."

The Silver Sand Carp has many thorns and is very troublesome to eat; Liang Qu doesn't like it very much.

"Okay." Chen Yi said while spreading out two copper coins, letting the waiter serve tea, "But I'm not here to sell fish, I just want Lord Liang to sit for a while and wait for a fun thing to watch."

As soon as this was said, everyone responded one after another.

"Yes, yes, very interesting!"

"Should wait, shouldn't miss it!"

"This fun thing has to do with you, Lord Liang!"

A fun thing that has to do with me?

Liang Qu found it strange; anyway, he wasn't in a hurry to go out on the boat, so he simply sat in the tea shop with everyone and chatted about family affairs.

How did that saying go, where to come from... not where to go.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

"Here, here, the fun thing is here!"

"Lord Liang, look!"

Liang Qu stood up, looked toward the Great Marsh in the direction everyone was pointing, and suddenly saw a white water trail emerge from afar, from far to near, like a flying fish.

Wait, that is...

Wei Shao?
