Chapter 410

Main room.

Liang Qu washed his face and cheered himself up.

Half a snake gallbladder lay quietly on the table, with a little ink-green bile flowing.

Communicating with the Ze Ding.

【Water-Marsh Essence +】

Half a snake gallbladder is over ten thousand; a complete one is twenty thousand, probably reaching twenty-one thousand.

"Far inferior to the sturgeon demon..."

Liang Qu still remembered that the sturgeon demon dragon tendon he obtained the year before last was only one-fifth, but it contributed a small eight thousand Water-Marsh Essence, meaning the total essence of the whole dragon tendon could reach a terrifying small forty thousand!

Is the snake gallbladder to the snake demon inferior to the dragon tendon to the sturgeon demon?

Or is it because the sturgeon demon absorbed half a piece of dragon bone, causing the amount of Water-Marsh Essence to soar?

Liang Qu rubbed his chin.

The bitterness faintly remaining in his mouth made him miss the taste of the sturgeon dragon tendon even more.

Not to mention the excellent effect.

Eating the dragon tendon raw is much less disgusting than the snake gallbladder. Stewing it in a soup or stir-frying it with green onions would be a beautiful thing.

The bitter taste in the snake gallbladder of a monster is really not something an ordinary person can endure; it's a bit beyond the physiological limit.

Especially since it was interrupted once in the middle—one go, then decline—but for the sake of Water-Marsh Essence...

Liang Qu thought for a while and used the Green Wolf to cut off one-tenth of the snake gallbladder.

"Cut a part first and leave it for soaking wine."

One-tenth of the part is enough to soak a lot of wine.

A moment later.

He cut another piece.

Then the third piece, the fourth piece...

Finally, one-third of the remaining half of the snake gallbladder was cut off.

"I have many friends, no choice, be generous."

Near the abandoned mine.

One snake dies, all things live.

Half a snake body was moved from near Maoming Port to the shore of the abandoned mine, disappearing rapidly at a rate of one section per day.

Not knowing how the snakes in the Dragon Palace would react, Liang Qu's group of water beasts ate until their mouths were oily.

A-Wei opened its wings, bit the blood vessels of the snake corpse, tried hard to suck blood, and after a while, fell to the ground with a round belly.

"Cannot Move" crawled to the grass on the shore to bask in the sun, and the Mirage Insect lay on its head and rolled.

One emerald green and one milky white, very much like jade and white jade buried in the grass.

After ten days of sun, the dogtail grass on both sides grew several sections taller.

Yuan Tou led the finless porpoise troops to capture treasure fish with all their might, and ate snake meat during rest time, orderly, and the Water-Marsh Essence rose steadily every day.

They even began to search for wild finless porpoise groups, waiting for the evolution to succeed and be included in their command.

The fat catfish was unconvinced by this, but unfortunately, being unconvinced was useless.

It had also thought about snatching the treasure fish from Yuan Tou's subordinates before, tried twice, and was beaten twice.

It couldn't catch treasure fish as well as the ten on the opposite side, so it had to accept reality and eat two more pieces of snake meat.

Not far away, Ta Ta Kai held a medicine bag high and came along the water.

Seeing this, the fat catfish raised its head and opened its big mouth.

Ta Ta Kai threw the paper and medicine into the fat catfish's big mouth all at once.

Top-quality croton!

Bada.

The medicine bag fell into its mouth, and the fat catfish swallowed it in big mouthfuls, a look of heroic determination flashing in its eyes.

Fight!

In the mine, there was a continuous rumble.

Fist waved its double pincers, chiseling with great force, eating while digging. All the low-grade blood stones went into its own stomach, while medium and high-grade blood mineral stones were all left behind. The red edge on the edge of its carapace became more and more obvious.

Currently, the medium-grade blood stone ore mined had already piled up into a small mountain outside.

Working hard, suddenly a dazzling red spot entered Fist's perception range.

What a rich blood stone!

Fist immediately changed direction and moved toward the perception direction with all its might.

Who knew that after walking not far, the blood stone seemed to shift a bit?

Fist scratched its head.

April 29th.

Inside the county government.

A lifelike white jade carving sat in the courtyard; it was the White Ape that subdued the demon!

The statue, excluding the base, was about the height of a person, but the fierce and majestic momentum within it could be felt by anyone who passed by.

It had one or two parts of the shock of seeing the White Ape with his own eyes that day.

Several clerks and registrars praised it one after another: "Master Dai's craftsmanship is exquisite, and his skills are extraordinary."

Dai Dai Jichuan waved his hands repeatedly: "It just so happened that I went to the port to join the fun that day and caught a glimpse of the Divine Ape's demeanor."

"Master Dai sculpting the Divine Ape statue can be considered passing the torch."

Sixty years ago, the Great Shun founded the nation, and the Xiangyi County Long Wang Temple was renovated. The person who wielded the knife was Dai Dai Jichuan's grandfather.

Now adding a subordinate official, it must be said that it is a kind of fate.

Just as everyone was discussing, Liang Qu crossed the door and entered.

"Lord Liang!"

"Lord Liang!"

The county government clerks bowed one after another, and Liang Qu nodded to each of them.

As for that White Ape, he had already seen it yesterday.

"Where is the letter Prefect Liu mentioned?"

"It's all here."

A clerk holding the document hurried forward.

Liang Qu opened it and saw it was the response to the document Liu Liu Shiqin had sent to the River Patrol Office a few days ago, requesting to add a subordinate official to the Long Wang Temple!

Flipping to the end.

"Approved!"

There were no extra words, followed by two seals.

Liang Qu recognized them: the official seals of Ran Ran Zhongshi and Xu Xu Yuelong.

Adding a subordinate official really had no resistance at all.

"What does Lord Liang think?"

Liu Liu Shiqin received the report and walked out of the government office.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for the River Patrol Office's document.

The document has arrived, so...

"What is the nearest auspicious day?"

"The day after tomorrow, May 1st!"

"Then May 1st!"

"Good, I will send someone to handle it right away!"

"Thank you, Prefect Liu."

Every place has its own customs.

Liang Qu didn't know how Xiangyi County invited the gods, so he couldn't intervene.

Two days later.

The summer wind brushed across the river, rippling with light.

The villagers of the entire Xiangyi County were restless, their excitement no less than the first day of the first lunar month after the Spring Festival.

First, the Zhang and Li families posted notices in advance.

Later, on the day the White Ape subdued the demon, it leaped a thousand meters high, and combined with the huge body of the big snake, at least ten thousand villagers witnessed it with their own eyes.

With these ten thousand people spreading the word, Liang Qu didn't know how many people could be attracted today.

The whole city was empty.

Everyone gathered near the Water God Temple. It was said that many people had been squeezed into the water and injured in the morning.

Amidst the noise, Liu Liu Shiqin had to ask loudly.

"Lord Liang, are you really not going to be the first offering official?"

"No, Prefect Liu is the local parent official; you are the most suitable to be the first offering official. I'll just be the second offering official."

Liang Qu shook his head repeatedly.

The scene was too damn big.

If there really is Favorability, he is afraid the flood dragon will get anxious and rush directly to the shore.

Inviting gods requires three invitations, so it is divided into the first offering official, the second offering official, and the third offering official, with status from high to low. For now, he will just be the second.

Liu Liu Shiqin was happy in his heart.

He didn't expect Liang Qu to give the great good deed of petitioning for the people to him.

He had just been sold Twenty Jiaoren tears at a premium, but thinking about it now, it was quite worth it.

Liu Liu Shiqin happily led Liang Qu into the Water God Temple together.

After entering, Liang Qu found that the Water God Temple was larger than imagined.

It was five rooms wide and deep, with surrounding corridors, all with heavy-eaved hip-and-gable roofs. Under the eaves, two door gods stood, majestic and solemn.

Inside the main hall, there were nine statues of various sizes, with the Water Long Wang in the center and four boys and girls on each side. The craftsmanship was extremely exquisite, with calm expressions and lifelike images.

Even the surrounding walls were full of murals.

On the west side was a prayer-for-rain painting, and on the east side was a rain-descending painting, with mysterious content and a grand scene.

He had thought it was just two or three small huts with a stone Long Wang in the middle; who would have thought it was so exaggerated.

It is worthy of being a big county, a rich county.

Playing so fancy.

The Water God Temple keeper arranged the altar and placed the offerings early in the morning, and several people around spread out mats.

After making preparations, the ritual praise, reading of the prayer, and various officials washed their hands and wiped them clean.

The general items of the whole thing were about the same as what Liang Qu had done in Yixing Town before, but it was more cumbersome, and there were more people with unknown uses, none of whom he had heard of.

In a small place like Yixing Town, how could there be so many sayings? One main priest and one officiating priest covered most of it.

Zhang Zhang Wenhu, Li Li Xiaoheng, and others entered the queue of participants one after another.

Everyone took their places.

The sun moved south.

When everyone was standing upright, in place, and the noise outside gradually subsided, there was another uproar from outside.

Liu Liu Shiqin looked dissatisfied and was about to scold, but a scout wearing a cloud eagle suit rode a horse through the crowded crowd. After finding that he couldn't squeeze in no matter what, he had to shout loudly outside the crowd.

"Where is River Patrol Office Du Du Shui Lang Liang?"

"Liang is here!"

Liang Qu stood up from the mat and responded loudly.

"Huaiyin County has been ambushed, and the former prefecture master has died! I hereby order Du Du Shui Lang Liang Qu to return to Pingyang Prefecture before May 10th! This order is like a mountain, and there must be no delay!"
