Chapter 540: Capturing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger
Red clouds and red sunset, orange-yellow filling the sky.
The cedar large ship, over five zhang long, was supported by a wooden frame high platform, its shadow slanted and long, cast on the ground.
The prefecture government office clerks beat gongs and drums, notifying the sacrifice along the street.
Liang Qu, who had been preparing all day, wore an official uniform and stood in the shadow.
Huazhu County was severely injured twice.
Once by the Ghost Mother Sect, once by the flood, and coupled with being slightly closer to Pingyang Prefecture, the population loss was extremely high.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Before the sacrifice time, a crowd of people gathered, at least one hundred thousand people, and subsequent villagers who heard Liang Qu's name stepped on straw sandals and rushed to participate.
A sea of people.
Stable!
Huazhu County, Xiangyi County, Pingyang Prefecture.
Liang Qu's reputation was greatest in these three places, and the people's recognition was highest, so the return from the sacrifice was naturally the most generous.
"Lord!"
"Lord!"
The strong martial artists with bare backs stepped forward to greet.
Liang Qu nodded slightly.
A total of six people, lined up on both sides of the high platform, were all galloping horse martial artists invited to carry the lead King Ship and walk along the street.
The sun set.
The government office clerks maintaining crowd order to avoid trampling lit torches, and in the crackling of dry wood, the restless crowd gradually quieted down.
The fire was burning, dispelling the darkness.
Liang Qu, standing under the shadow of the cedar ship, became prominent because of the orange light, and his shadow cast down from the high platform, spreading for several zhang, shaking and flickering.
"Liang Lord, it's Liang Lord who is the main sacrifice!"
"Nonsense, didn't you see the notice posted earlier?"
"Last year when the flood happened, I was on Liang Lord's ship!"
"Who isn't the same."
"Liang Lord's official uniform has changed, did he rise again?"
"I heard he rose after killing the snake demon in Xiangyi County."
"Flood, flood, my son died at that time."
The crowd became noisy again.
Many people recalled the disaster situation last year, feeling lonely and emotional.
"Liang Water Envoy, it's about time!"
"I am the main sacrifice, and Liu Lord is the sacrifice master. The guest follows the host, just follow Liu Lord's rhythm."
"Good!" Liu Wennian waved his hand, "Fire the cannon!"
The government office clerk passed the order and ignited the fuse.
Bang!
Pop!
Crackle, crackle.
Firecrackers and whips sounded together.
In an instant.
Gongs and drums were noisy.
"Raise the ship!"
Six galloping horses shouldered the giant wood, three on the left and three on the right, rising at the same time. The five-zhang large ship rose steadily, and there was an uproar.
"Go!"
The government office clerk beckoned.
The drum and music team and the dragon and lion dance team went first, clearing the road ahead. The bare-backed big men stepped in unison, the King Ship moved forward slowly, and the small ships behind connected into a long dragon, carried by young and strong men from various places in turns.
Once the King Ship moved, more and more villagers walked out of their homes, trickling streams merged into the sea, a vast expanse, moving toward the Black Water River bank.
"River God bless, favorable weather this year."
"May my son be free from illness and disaster, my father live long and be blessed..."
"May I get three points of Liang Lord's ability, and marry a wife half as beautiful as Liang Lord's female family members, and give birth to a big fat boy."
The continuous team was orderly in chaos, villagers held fine incense, followed devoutly, muttering prayers in their mouths.

Following quietly.
Compared with the sacrifice held by two small villages at the end of the flood disaster last year, the spirit of the Huazhu people this year was clearly better, and even the offerings placed at the door were much richer.
People, endure, tough, benevolent.
Natural disasters, accidents, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed.
The team dragged into a curved long snake. Rongjia Village villager Rong Hanwen supported his cane, his heart surging, following closely.
"Grandpa, slow down."
The boy held a yellow-brown wooden sword, cut off the wild grass on the side of the road, and helped him.
Walking to the river bank.
The noisy human voice was again covered by deafening firecrackers.
The drum and music players played, and the Daoists performed rituals.
The song ended.
People retreated.
County Magistrate Liu stepped aside: "Liang Lord, please."
Tens of thousands of people cast expectant gazes.
Under the spotlight.
Liang Qu took three long steps, bowed, and raised the tablet.
The river wind whistled, and the clothes fluttered.
"The spirit originates from the Heavenly Mountain, the source connects to the constellations. Opening the auspicious signs of the books, the Dushui is called the sect; surpassing the high seal of the Pu Valley, all hundred rivers are accepted. The merit of moistening things, nourishing the earth to achieve ability; the benefit of relying on transport, enriching the heavenly storage to be sufficient. Since the Holy Emperor reigned, the bright sacrifice has been held, and the divine gift has been received many times. The waves are calm, and the clarification reaches the glory; opening the land to benefit the people, the marshy land all presents fertile soil. As for the peace of the waves following the track, the embankment is built according to the time; success is achieved in a few days, and the memorial is combined to complete..."
After chanting the sacrificial text.
The martial artists carried the ship into the river, white waves washed toward the river bank, the cedar ship drifted and swayed, and a series of small wooden ships followed into the water.
The villagers bowed, sending out small paper boats with burning candles to pray.
Full river lights.
"County Magistrate Lord, fire."
The government office clerk handed over the oil-soaked torch.
Liu Wennian took it and handed it to Liang Qu.
Countless gazes gathered, Liang Qu sat in the wooden basin, leaned against the King Ship under the push of the martial artist, and threw in the torch.
Boom!
Fire oil burned, red light rushed to the sky, as if the sun rose again.
The offerings in the ship gradually became charred.
The fluorescent orange light illuminated the river bank, echoing with the brilliance of the starry night.
Faces reflected red, full of joy.
For a long time.
The flames of the burning ship rolled upward, and the high mast cracked with fire marks, crumbling.
Liang Qu looked up, thinking of the meaning of the mast falling toward the river surface and the river bank.
No accident.
Luck "favored" Huazhu again.
Boom!
Countless ashes carrying sparks rolled toward the sky.
"Respectfully send off, King Chi!"
The drums on the river bank were loud, boiling and filling the sky!
Burn!
Burn fiercely!
A year of filth, depression, sadness, suppression, burned cleanly!
The Water-Marsh Cauldron trembled greatly.

Night.
The humid water vapor had not dissipated, and sporadic fireflies drilled out of the shrubs, spotted, far from being a flowing light sea, not even as moving as the fire burning on the river surface.
Tap, tap!
Chishan stepped on the stone steps, turned into a fierce wind and jumped into the courtyard.
Liang Qu jumped off the horse's back.
"Eying, Binglin! Pingjiang, Pinghe! I want to go into the water pool to retreat, no one is allowed to disturb!"
"Yes!"
The Dragon-People heard the news and came out.
Liang Qu entered the house, grabbed Fubo and Abyss Wood, jumped out with a few leaps, and fell straight into the valley water pool.
Splash!
Water waves surged, reflecting the starlight.
The fat catfish, Round-Head, and "Can't-Move," which had long ago flowed through the underground river, scattered to guard.
【Water-Refined Refined Ze Ling Marsh-Monkey (Deep Green) fully integrated】
【Water-Refined Refined Ze Ling can be promoted】
Five points of favor, one hundred percent integration.
Truly not easy!
Liang Qu took a few deep breaths, calmed his mood, hooked his mind, and sank into the Water-Marsh Cauldron.

【Capturing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger Body: Fighting the Azure Dragon, subduing the fierce tiger, overturning the river and the sea, fearing nothing.】
Dragon tendons and tiger bones could actually rise again!
Could martial bones be divided into three, six, nine grades?
Liang Qu was slightly surprised, but without a moment's hesitation.
Promotion!
The white ape phantom appeared, golden eyes burning, elegant hair fibers moving.
Boom!
The Water-Marsh Cauldron sea of consciousness hung high, the light brightened.
Endless brilliance was like stars falling to the ground, cast into the white ape phantom.
The white ape roared to the sky, devouring the brilliance, and after swallowing it all, hugged its knees into a pill, harmonious and one.
Whoosh!
The deep pool rippled, ripples pushing in layers.
At first it was small, but under the stacking, it extended rapidly, rose and fell, surging into waves.
Waves stacked, one after another, the front waves hadn't disappeared, the back waves collided, collapsing into splashing water foam.
Water droplets jumped wildly!
The entire deep pool was like a cowhide drum plated with a water film in the rain, being beaten by a bare-backed strong man!
"What's going on..."
Long Binglin gasped, unable to help taking half a step back.
The Elder entered the water, and an indescribable sense of oppression emerged in his heart, as if he had encountered a natural enemy!
Long Eying also felt breathing difficulties, covering her chest.
Only Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe could endure it, but they also felt the Heavenly God's power becoming heavier! ===== CHAPTER 541 =====
Long Eying also felt it difficult to breathe and clutched her chest.
Only Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe could still endure it, but they also felt the divine power of the gods growing heavier!
