Chapter 496: Excessive Injury

"Hmph, pretentious."

Su Guishan pinched his fingertips, and the entire letter paper shattered into powder, drifting into the calamus bonsai on the antique shelf with his palm wind.

The fresh, moist black soil was covered with a thin layer of gray-white paper powder, which quickly merged into one with the infiltration of water vapor.

A gaze was cast over.

Liang Qu's face tightened, and he wisely withdrew.

Grandmasters fighting, can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke.

Pond.

Continuous overcast rain for days, the weather was stuffy.

The old turtle went to the Great Lake to swim in the vast world, Otter-Otter-Open assumed a stance, practicing pile work in the rain.

Only the large river otter squatted under the eaves, supporting his head with his claws, facing a pile of wooden blocks of various shapes with a distressed face.

The long hair on his head was all curled up.

The practical construction link of the assembly-type ship model seemed to have a few problems, causing slow production progress.

The fat catfish half-probed out of the pond, his two whiskers pointing and gesturing.

The large river otter sighed and shook his head.

The fat catfish bit his whiskers and joined the ranks of deep thinking.

Lotus leaves swayed gently.

Taking advantage of the absence of the owner, Wu Cangshou, Liang Qu went into the water to dig up the silt, turned out the mysterious turtle shell buried at the bottom of the pond that could divine good and bad luck, and ran to the kitchen to burn it.

The extra gift sent by the old toad's first "real estate investment."

It must be said, this thing has some ways.

Used it once in April to kill the giant snake in Xiangyi County, but his skill was not refined, and the old Daoist who divined a "great ominous" wanted to buy it, but Liang Qu didn't sell it.

After bringing it back, it had always been buried, long ago repaired by water meridian nourishment, without a single crack.

Light the firewood.

Roasted it with a crackle.

Crack, crack, crack~

Several cracks collapsed along the center of the turtle shell.

"Odd number, ominous? Hmm... auspicious?"

Liang Qu clamped out the pitch-black mysterious turtle shell, observed it for a long time, and was shocked to find that he had been assimilated and misled by the old toad.

This thing seems to require specialized learning, hexagram interpretation.

Liang Qu called Long Binglin and Long Eying.

The three squatted in front of the firewood stove, from high to low, looking at each other.

Crackle!

The firewood exploded, sparks drifted.

The orange light reflected people's faces orange-red.

Long Binglin looked at Long Eying.

Long Eying brushed away the blue silk at her temples, hesitating: "My lord, I learned a period of human divination from Elder Long Zong Yin, and I understand a little bit of hexagram interpretation..."

"Come, come, come, interpret it!"

Liang Qu was overjoyed, trying his luck, hitting three poles with or without dates, didn't expect a real harvest, and stuffed the mysterious turtle shell to Long Eying.

Half a moment later.

Long Eying's fingertips rubbed the cracks in the turtle shell.

"This hexagram should be 'Drag the wheel, wet the tail, no blame.'"

"No blame? That's auspicious?"

Long Eying nodded: "It means my lord follows the steps, doesn't rush for success, and can succeed. It belongs to an auspicious hexagram."

"Good!"

Liang Qu's tense heart relaxed by three points.

What he divined was not only the matter of tricking and killing the snake demons in a few days, but also included Su Guishan's ambush on the Guimu Sect.

Obviously the result was good, which was pleasing.

"After the snake demon matter is over, I will start exploring the medium for long Qi, and help you!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

For the next three full days.

Liang Qu didn't go out of the big door, didn't step out of the second door, semi-secluded and cultivating, but still could know the huge changes in Pingyang Prefecture from Auntie Zhang and Auntie Li during the three meals a day.

Facing the Wu Sheng's arrival, the entire Pingyang Prefecture erupted with unprecedented "self-cleaning" efficiency from top to bottom.

First of all, the roads from Yixing Town to the prefecture were all renovated and repaired without exception. Those that were still yellow mud soil had to be paved with stones, and craftsmen selected sites in some large towns to build drum towers in a tight schedule.

The night soil workers had to make three trips a day to avoid the stench, so as not to offend the big carriage.

As for the Heposuo, officials in soap uniforms ran all over the street, taking people to clean the sewers one by one, dredging, and salvaging.

Places without Heposuo were managed by the Street Department, belonging to city defense.

Places with Heposuo were all under the Heposuo, belonging to water conservancy.

Even the frequency of military men patrolling the streets was three times higher than usual, and wherever they went, it was a scene of peace and prosperity.

Now not only Yixing Town, but several large towns around it had to tuck their tails and be human.

The commoners didn't know what happened, and didn't know a big shot was coming, but all kinds of changes were beneficial, definitely a good thing.

Quiet room.

Two jade bottles were empty, and several treasure boxes were half-open.

"Hoo."

A long, leisurely breath was exhaled.

"Diaphragm meridian, Qiao meridian succeeded!"

Liang Qu looked inside himself.

Inside the body, the fourth and fifth small meridians shone brightly, both connected to the meridian circulation, seemingly having the shadow of a bridge.

Three major meridians, five small meridians, blood and Qi circulated back and forth, endlessly.

Three major meridians, six small meridians, enough to initially build a bridge.

Breakthrough in April, bridge building in June, riding alone!

No way.

Resources were too abundant.

Liang Qu felt that he had suddenly merged into the fast lane, and a series of people and demons sent him treasures.

He couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

They would get anxious with him.

Gathering his thoughts, Liang Qu meditated to recover his Qi, gathering the blood and Qi fluctuations brought by the breakthrough.

Long Li pushed open the door, came in to replace the incense burner, saw Liang Qu open his eyes, and said in a low voice.

"My lord, Chen River Official came once half an hour ago, saying there is a collective action at the Heposuo tomorrow morning at the first quarter of the Chen hour, and no one is allowed to be absent."

Liang Qu's eyes flashed.

"Trouble you."

Long Li bowed and withdrew, without a trace of a breeze.

"Good wait."

Liang Qu looked at the overcast dark clouds outside the window.

The Marquis Weining he had been thinking about finally had a landing.

The second meeting between the Bai Yuan and the snake demons should have arrangements!

Communicate with the Tripod.

【Tripod Owner: Liang Qu】

【Refining Water Spirit: Water (Deep Cyan)】

【Water Spirit Favor: Martial Dao Divine Power Second Layer (Chuan Lord Emperor); Ying Dragon Pattern: First Layer; Tian Wu: First Layer】

【Water Essence: 56,014 points】

Looking at the number of Water Essence.

He ate a lot of lotus seeds and treasure lotus flowers, and the essence used for the previous evolution of the house insects was all made up.

Before acting,

Evening.

A light, misty rain falls.

A man in a straw raincoat drifts on the Great Lake in a boat.

"Tomorrow morning at the hour of the dragon..."

Chi Lin silently repeats the time and place, firmly memorizing them in its heart.

"Does the master know of any major events recently? I see the commoners on land repairing bridges and roads, quite busy."

Liang Qu pokes his bamboo hat with his index finger and glances down: "It has nothing to do with you. An inspector is coming. Capture the white ape as soon as possible and don't let it come to cause me trouble; that is your urgent matter!"

After speaking.

The small boat departs.

Chi Lin watches for a long time before vanishing beneath the water.

Whether it succeeds or fails.

Depends on this one move!

The next day.

The weather is overcast, the dark gray Great Lake is surging, and a strong wind is blowing.

Xiang Fang Su and Ke Wenbin are dressed neatly, merging into the noisy crowd.

Seeing Ran Zhongshi counts the heads, discovers one is missing, and looks around.

"Where is Ashui? Why hasn't Ashui come? Xiang Fang Su, Ke Wenbin, have you two seen him?"

The two shake their heads.

"This kid, he didn't oversleep, did he?" Xiang Fang Su rubs his chin. "I felt his blood and qi were unstable when I saw him before. Could it be that it's his first time, and he met a dragon maiden, and being too young, he couldn't hold back? Sigh, excessive desire harms the body!"

"Dragon maiden?" Ke Wenbin pricks up his ears. "What dragon maiden? Tell me more."

"Alright, don't worry about him." Xu Yuelong, dressed in his official robes, steps out from the study. "Someone has already asked for leave on his behalf."

"Asked for leave?"

Seeing Ran Zhongshi and his group are all stunned.

No way.

Asking for leave to meet a Wu Sheng?

What happened, who beat him so badly he can't get out of bed?

"Get on the boat!"

Xu Yuelong offers no explanation, and the others find it difficult to ask more, boarding the boats one after another.

The large boat, loaded with officials, moves toward the due north.

The Great Lake.

Four snake demons head northeast, exactly avoiding the large boat's route.
