Chapter 434: How Can There Be Such a Capable Turtle in the World!
"Chen Lao, come into the house and talk."
Liang Qu stepped back and gave way.
"Is the Master not in a hurry?"
Chen Zhaoan scanned up and down, feeling unsure in his heart.
Liang Qu was carrying a long spear and a large bow, wearing half-armor arm guards, looking like he was going out to fight someone.
Can this really be delayed?
"I'm not in a hurry either, there's a small half-month of turnaround. It's just right that you came today, Chen Lao, saving you from running in vain. It'll be fine to go tomorrow."
Since the words were already said, Chen Zhaoan didn't waste time declining, said a word of disturbance, and stepped over the threshold.
In the courtyard, Chen Xiu put down the feather duster and turned to go to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.
Chen Zhaoan noticed for two eyes and hesitated: "This is Chen Dajun's daughter, right?"
"I don't know about Chen Dajun, but her mother is Zhang Hongjuan, who asked me for a job a few days ago."
Chen Zhaoan understood.
"That's right, it's Chen Dajun's. Being able to work under Master Liang is her blessing."
Liang Qu smiled, didn't respond much, came to the hall, put down the Wave-Subduing Spear and the Yuan Wood Bow, and led Chen Zhaoan to sit down.
Chen Zhaoan held a cane, took the hot tea, didn't drink it,
"Several martial arts hall masters in the town sent people to ask the old man a few days ago, asking about the location of the sacrifice. According to the past, there was no need to discuss it. It has always been held at our local Shangrao Pier.
And the pier was expanded once in winter, the place is big enough to accommodate local and foreign villagers.
It just happens that this year, the Water God Temple was completed, and it is located south of our town.
The old man heard that many villagers have the intention to move the River God Festival to the temple to hold it, so I came here today for this matter, to ask Master Liang for his opinion.
If it is to be changed, will it collide with other towns? Can the government office agree..."
Chen Zhaoan didn't ask if Liang Qu wanted to serve as the chief priest.
Over the past two years, Liang Qu serving as the chief priest of the River God Festival had become a consensus among the villagers of Yixing Town.
He himself was quite enthusiastic, and last year he even went underwater to catch three water monsters.
Liang Qu thought for a moment.
"No change."
"Still Shangrao Pier?"
"Still Shangrao Pier. The prefect of a place has to personally enter the temple to sacrifice and preach education every spring and autumn.
Although June 6th doesn't belong to that time, the Water God Temple was completed for the first year this year, and the situation is special. It probably won't be our turn."
"That is indeed the case."
Chen Zhaoan nodded.
Liang Qu saw this reaction and knew that the old man was clear in his heart.
He came to discuss it specially, probably because the villagers really had loud voices and ideas, and he couldn't help but tell him.
Plus whether the prefect comes or not belongs to speculation, no one is clear, so he has to find someone who can speak to set the tone.
"This year will be the same as in previous years. As for the reason, I will trouble the village elders to explain it clearly to the villagers."
"Duty-bound." Chen Zhaoan took it on, "There is another..."
"Liang Qing!"
A loud shout came from behind the pond, interrupting the words, the sound was so melodious that it reminded people of the frogs in summer.
Chen Zhaoan looked up: "Master Liang, this..."
"It doesn't matter, there is a friend in the backyard, Chen Lao, continue."
Liang Qu's expression didn't change, the spiritual link let the Great Da He Li go to greet him, and he continued to sit in the hall to discuss with Chen Zhaoan.
Chen Zhaoan opened his mouth, didn't ask much, and continued to talk about things.
It wasn't a big deal.
Mainly because the population in the town increased again this year. Hearing that Liang Qu had been the chief priest for two consecutive years, his status was special, and many big families catered to his preferences, taking the initiative to "support", and the "activity funds" suddenly became quite abundant. They were discussing how to spend the money.
"Funds are sufficient, we can hold a flowing banquet, hire two kitchen helpers, kill two more pigs, and make the trimmings into meat sauce noodles..."
Things were discussed one by one and finalized.
No problem.
Chen Zhaoan drank the tea and said goodbye.
Liang Qu let the village elder wait a moment, took a 100-tael silver note and five small ingots, and handed them to Chen Zhaoan.
"This year's River God Festival has a huge specification, Chen Lao needs to spend more effort, handle it well, 100 taels is my private investment, and another 10 taels is considered the village elder's hard work fee..."
"Can't, can't, the old man is also a Yixing person, how can..."
"Village elder, just accept it! I have important matters, so don't decline! If there is any shortage, come to me at any time. If I am not here, leave a word for Xinglai, Chen Xiu and the others."
Chen Zhaoan then accepted the money and made a guarantee.
"Master Liang, rest assured, the old man started handling the River God Festival at fifty-six, and has never made a mistake!"
A few pleasantries.
Liang Qu watched Chen Zhaoan bypass the shadow wall.
The chief priest of a place cannot jump back and forth.
Serving this year, not serving next year, and coming back the year after.
Unless there is really something important, temporarily changing people, such as mourning, or having a better choice, like Liang Qu, rising suddenly and showing his edge, otherwise the villagers will feel that the heart is not sincere, and disaster will occur.
However, these reasons are still not enough.
Before May, Liang Qu still held a cautious attitude toward the degree of favor.
But after talking with Su Guishan for half the night with a crayfish meal a few days ago, Liang Qu became more and more clear about the Jiaolong's situation.
One word, internal and external troubles.
The Jiaolong is currently just the number one seed player to become the Dragon Lord.
Whether it's stable or not is hard to say.
Outside the water marsh, the Great Shun, for the sake of insurance, wants to support a Dragon Lord who is close to them, sharpening their knives, stretching their heads and chopping.
Inside the water marsh, there are also many forces, Great Demons are eager to move, hungry and thirsty.
Liang Qu attracting the Jiaolong's attention was purely an accident, and he stabbed a real wound.
Furthermore, will my stealing the degree of favor cause the time for the Dragon Lord to appear to be extended?

Su Guishan's news, plus the fact that the several snake demons sent by Round Head didn't cause trouble and were quite "restrained".
Liang Qu felt that he could serve as the chief priest this year.
After handling the River God Festival, Liang Qu ran to the pond again.
"Old Turtle!"
"Little Frog!"
"Old Turtle!"
"Little Frog!"
Turtle and frog sounds were heard.
The old turtle and the old toad's bickering that never changed for ten thousand years.
Seeing Liang Qu come in, the old toad's eyes lit up.
"Liang Qing!"
"Frog Gong!"
The old turtle sneered.
The old toad didn't pay attention to the old turtle, climbed onto the boulder: "I brought you good things today!"
"Good things?"
Liang Qu scanned up and down, the old toad was empty-handed, and didn't even bring the yellow leather bag.
The old turtle laughed even louder: "You stingy old guy, your pockets are cleaner than a licked bowl, what good goods can you bring?"
The old toad was furious: "I brought news of the Jiang Zongshi's treasure!"
Jiang Zongshi's treasure?
The old turtle was stunned, Liang Qu's eyes flashed.
Seeing the whole scene silent, the old toad proudly extended five fingers: "As long as Liang Qing expands a large pond of 500 mu for me, and fills it with lotus flowers, I will tell you the whereabouts of the Jiang Zongshi's treasure..."
"Is the Jiang Zongshi's treasure mentioned by Frog Gong the Heavenly Water long energy 1650 to 1700 li south-east of the Great King's direction?"
The old toad's words were blocked, and it retreated a step like an electric shock, revealing its surging white belly.
"You! How did you know?"
"Shouye told me, Shouye swam in the Great Marsh the day before yesterday, felt something in his heart, and told me this news."
Who, me?
At first, hearing the Jiang Zongshi's treasure, he was confused, but seeing the old toad turning his head in disbelief, he stretched his neck and showed a proud look.
"Not bad, it's me! I swam in the Great Marsh the day before yesterday and felt something in my heart!"
The old toad was shocked.
He thought that only he was a frog in the Great Marsh who could know the news more than half a month in advance.
Can the Mysterious Turtle also?
The plan to sell the news again failed.
The old toad couldn't accept it, covered his heart that was in great pain, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and straightened his waist again.
"Then do you know how to subdue that energy? I know! You just need to expand thirty mu..."
"Use ice! Old ice over two hundred years old, three hundred years is best!"
Liang Qu bowed.
Plop!
The old toad opened his arms and fell into the pond, splashing a large splash of water.
An unprecedented sense of crisis struck.
Wu Cangshou laughed wantonly, happy that his two front legs rose and fell alternately.
Completely didn't understand, but would watch a good show!
After a long time.
The old toad had a lotus leaf on his head, climbed onto the round stone in a dejected manner, his frog skin hung down, and fine streams of water dripped from the corners of the lotus leaf.
Frustrated~
Liang Qu struck while the iron was hot.
"Frog Gong, I have recently obtained some ways, and I am preparing to expand the frog tribe pond by more than three mu.
Alas, the imperial officials are taking bribes, and Pingyang County has become Pingyang Prefecture, land prices have risen, although the clerks promised, they have already asked for three treasure fish per mu to open up!"
The old toad was stabbed in the heart, feeling listless.
"Regarding the frog tribe pond, let's talk about it..."
"Frog Gong!"
Liang Qu said righteously,
"In the past, I said that Pingyang County would become Pingyang Prefecture, hasn't it been fulfilled now?"
The old turtle echoed: "Not bad!"
"Surrounding the Great Marsh on the shore, uniting all forces that can be united, and only then opening up two mu of pond, has already attracted two Jiang Zongshi experts, isn't this a great help?"
"Right!"
"Frog Gong, don't be satisfied because you have harvested a treasure lotus and stop moving forward! Now that there is a return, doesn't it prove that opening up a pond on land is promising? Now is the time to increase investment and buy in large quantities!"
"It's extreme, it's extreme, we must increase investment!"
The old giant clam also spoke: "Great kindness!"
By the pond, the Great Da He Li building the ship picked up a wooden board and gnawed out the seven characters "There is a return if there is payment".
Otter raised his arms and chattered.
Cannot Move bit off the lotus stalk and sent a lotus flower in bud.
For a time, a dark fragrance came.
From all directions, in the sky and on the ground, lotus flowers were reflected!
Opened it and saw three big characters jumping out!
Invest, invest, invest!
The old toad let out a strange cry, and fell onto the rock.
"I invest!"
