Chapter 438

Slurp slurp~

Liang Qu held a large porcelain bowl, eating noodles in big mouthfuls, using round chopsticks to pick up a fried egg, the orange-yellow runny yolk flowing out; before it could drip, he stuffed it into his mouth, the fat fragrance overflowing.

Gulp~

He washed it down with a mouthful of clear tea.

Su Guishan picked up some oil-braised broad beans, threw them into his mouth to savor, and laughed at Liang Qu's eating manner.

"Has your kid not eaten for a day?"

"More than a day." Liang Qu finished the minced meat at the bottom of the bowl in two or three mouthfuls, laid his long chopsticks flat, and wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, "I only ate one meal last night, and since then, I haven't eaten a single thing until I came to you."

"Did you find out?"

"Far from it, I went too early and couldn't see anything; I guess it will take two to three days before any signs appear and we can see the excitement."

Liang Qu spoke, while Chen Xiu took away the empty bowl and served another one; he picked up his chopsticks, lowered his head, and continued to eat noodles to satisfy his hunger.

He came back too late and missed dinner, only catching the midnight snack.

Fried pork ribs with golden garlic, oil-braised broad beans, spicy duck heads—they were too much trouble to gnaw and spit out skin, so he had Mother Zhang simply cook two bowls of noodles.

Fresh meat sauce, blanched small green vegetables, two fried eggs, and sprinkled with chopped green onions.

The thin noodles were cooked and rinsed in cold water, mixed a little, coated with sauce, and not hot to the mouth; eating them was satisfying and comfortable.

After finishing two bowls, Liang Qu also asked Su Guishan.

"Uncle, how about you? Did you catch any fish?"

"The Jianghuai fish are smart, and it's still very early; why, are you trying to drive me away?"

"Uncle is joking, how could I drive away my own relative." Liang Qu held his chopsticks upright, stirring the remaining meat sauce, "I'm just worried that you might ruin my small courtyard; it's not worth much money, but it's all the heart of the fellow villagers."

Su Guishan spat out a broad bean skin and leaned back on the recliner: "The fish escaped once, and its mouth was cut by the iron hook; let alone coming back to eat the bait, it's not even easy for it to find food to heal its wounds.

If I want to catch it again, I'll have to wait at least a month for its fish lips to heal; it's about the same, it will be June or July."

Chen Xiu was puzzled: "There are so many big fish in Jianghuai, why do you insist on catching one, Uncle? I know a good place with many big fish; my father often goes there to catch fish."

"Hahaha!" Liang Qu laughed twice, stood up, and handed out the empty bowl, "Go to work, don't eavesdrop."

Su Guishan smiled without saying a word, quietly eating broad beans.

Chen Xiu originally wanted to say he wasn't eavesdropping, but he spoke loudly; after thinking about it, he pursed his lips and left with the bowl.

Liang Qu asked: "That fish is injured, will it not take the bait next time and return to its nest?"

"There is no perfect plan in the world; it might or might not. If I can't catch it by August, I'll pack up my rod; who would really waste time for nothing?"

"Uncle, I heard that there are not only big fish in the river, but also big crocodiles; why have I never seen them?

Logically speaking, coming ashore once, eating two chickens and a pig, and then escaping immediately, no one could stop them..."

Su Guishan shook his head.

"Have you heard of a sudden inspiration?"

"I know, when strength reaches a certain realm, in the dark, one might have a sense of something that has happened or even something that hasn't happened; my master told me."

"It's the same principle; in the strange tales circulated among the people, there is a saying of 'shielding the heavenly secrets,' and the purpose is to do the opposite, to set up an ambush.

Unfortunately, when reaching a certain level, 'shielding the heavenly secrets' and doing big things without attracting attention is too difficult; often one senses it before moving, and once one makes a move, it will reveal flaws and create opportunities."

Liang Qu raised an eyebrow.

Is it that mysterious?

"The Imperial Court spent a lot of effort and huge funds to build the Four Wilds Heaven-Observing Instrument for the Imperial Observatory, and one of its main purposes is exactly this.

There is also a Universe Myriad Phenomena Wheel in Nanzhili, and when the Great Qian fled that year, they specially took away two Star Fate Plates to save their lives.

The brilliant battle record you achieved last time was ostensibly a surprise attack, a quick decision; by the time the opposite side reacted, the entire branch was completely wiped out.

Secretly, there are two other factors: one, the Wu Sheng didn't move, only the Profound Weapons moved; two, the Heaven-Observing Instrument and the Myriad Phenomena Wheel exerted force..."

Su Guishan was halfway through his words when Chen Xiu brought the noodles over.

Liang Qu wasn't in a hurry to listen; he ate the noodles in big mouthfuls and thought for himself.

Halfway through eating, he freed two fingers on his left hand and bit off the noodles.

"Bring two more bowls of noodles; you and Mother Zhang go back to rest, and come back to clean up tomorrow."

"Okay."

After Chen Xiu left, Liang Qu understood.

Isn't the so-called Four Wilds Heaven-Observing Instrument just radar and satellites?

The Wu Sheng's presence is too strong, like a missile silo built; other people's radar and satellites are all guarding against you, watching you every day.

Once the silo opens, it's immediately detected; before it can launch, or halfway through the flight, the opposite side bombs it while the defense is empty.

However, it is highly likely that both sides perceive each other; in the heat of the moment, looking at all the silos opened on the satellite map, their brains cool down, and they press each other down, and the bodies that stood up are pressed back down.

The Nanzhili Wu Sheng and the Ghost Mother Sect Wu Sheng might have experienced several rounds of psychological games, their hands loosening and tightening on their swords.

The Great Shun has a large volume, and many enemies.

The northern garrison cannot suddenly withdraw from the border and move south completely; if they finish fighting in the south, the north will be in complete chaos, and if they have to adjust back, the south, which hasn't been completely assimilated, will revive.

With many parties confronting each other, one must be cautious when making a move.

Wu Sheng cultivation is not easy to come by; unless one really has a big advantage and crushes the other side, who is willing to take risks?

"I've been letting you ask questions, but I have to ask you, how are you going to handle such a big opportunity?"

The Old Turtle is to Su Guishan what the various water beasts are to Liang Qu.

Letting the Old Turtle perform on stage definitely couldn't be hidden from Su Guishan.

Liang Qu didn't care if Su Guishan knew; as a Grandmaster, the Old Monk's insights were much more important than a wisp of Long Qi.

"I'll just rub against the strange phenomenon and run away; the other kids don't have the ability and aren't qualified to participate, and I'm planning to call more people."

"Oh, why?"

"There aren't many forces approaching now, only the Dragon and Frog tribes, but when it really gets to the first two or three days, there won't be few strange beasts that can perceive it. Once the news spreads, the nearby big demons and spirit monsters will definitely come over; it's too dangerous for me to go alone.

Furthermore, we have to fight for the position to observe the strange phenomenon, right? I heard that the closer you are to the Heaven and Earth strange phenomenon, the more scattered the people around, the better the effect of washing the True Gang? Otherwise, if you gather too densely, it will disperse the spiritual energy?"

"That is true." Su Guishan agreed, "Every time they encounter a Heaven and Earth strange phenomenon, those family children who happen to run into it will often have their elders or personal guards clear out an open space.

If it's the Wolf Smoke Realm, it's best to have one person alone in one acre of land to fully occupy the rich spiritual energy in the area."

Liang Qu was lost in thought.

After eating and drinking well, he returned to the pond.

The moonlight was hazy, and the pond water rippled with silver circles.

In the water tank, nine large treasure fish were swimming, looking quite crowded.

The Old Turtle was invigorated: "You kid, you made me wait; we agreed to eat tomorrow, what time is it now?"

Liang Qu reached out and pinched one, pointed at the moon, and laughed: "Isn't it not midnight yet? I didn't break my promise."

Wu Cangshou curled his lips: "You kid are not honest; you lied to the toad and now you're lying to the turtle; I have to be careful."

"Uncle Shou is really wronging me." Liang Qu took out the Green Wolf, put the treasure fish on the ground, and compared the tip of the knife from the fish head, "I'll give you more as an apology; the fish head is cut from behind the pectoral fin, with a small piece of fish belly, which is very fat and delicious; is that okay?"

Wu Cangshou's eyes lit up.

"Good, good, good, divide it like this, divide it like this! I misjudged you; your sincere heart is witnessed by Heaven and Earth!"

"Done, Otter, go burn the fire!"
