Chapter 542: Overturning the River and the Sea
Black night.
Raindrops fell from the sky.
Long Yao and Long Li took a bath, stood under the eaves, and looked into the distance. Although they felt regretful that it rained again and the day to see fireflies was indefinitely distant, they were more concerned about the Elder.
The River God sacrifice didn't take too long. Liang Qu rode back and entered the pool to retreat for an hour.
The first quarter of an hour still had terrifying power, and for most of the time afterward, it was silent.
Whoosh~
The pool water disturbed.
The alert Dragon-People cast their eyes.
A large hand grabbed the rock and turned over to the shore.
Splash!
Clear water flowed along every curve of Liang Qu's muscles, gathered at his fingertips and hair tips, dripping into water lines, dripping into pits.
Long Eying wanted to step forward, but after taking half a step, she turned her back.
On the hillside, the Long Yao and Long Li who wanted to approach covered their eyes one after another.
Hmm?
Liang Qu scratched his temples.
Long Binglin pointed slightly: "Elder, your... clothes."
Rain fell rustlingly.
Reminded, Liang Qu suddenly realized that the rain seemed to cross the clothes and hit his body directly?
Looking down.
Hiss!
Where is my Dragon Spirit Gauze?
Happy about the breakthrough, he swam to the shore without feeling that the Dragon Spirit Gauze had already come off.
Splash!
Turned and entered the pool.
Flashed to the bottom.
The Dragon Spirit Gauze, surging with blue light, sank to the bottom of the pool and didn't move, without any elegant flowing feeling.
"Strange, how did it come down by itself."
Reached out and touched it.
Hard as anything.
What's going on?
Liang Qu kneaded the Dragon Spirit Gauze, feeling very surprised.
The original Dragon Spirit Gauze was very smooth, but now it seemed like silk turning into steel wire, intertwined into a steel plate that couldn't move.
Looking at the surging blue light again.
Liang Qu thought of something and touched the waist of his clothes.
The three pieces of Vast Sea Blue Gold melted into a plate by Cao Shixiong Lu had disappeared.
"Swallowed?"
Liang Qu frowned, infused Qi and blood, and communicated with the Dragon Spirit Gauze's spirituality.
After a while.
His eyebrows relaxed slightly.
"Actually self-evolution."
Apart from self-recovery, the biggest feature of spiritual weapons is that they become stronger the more they are used, and infusing Qi and blood will self-improve.
That's why Fubo is smoother and sharper the more it's used. The Dragon Spirit Gauze is exactly at a critical point of nourishment, actively swallowing the Vast Sea Blue Gold, and is currently in a self-digestion stage, difficult to move.
Detaching in advance was to avoid Liang Qu wearing a steel plate. It would return to normal after a period of time, even better than before!
"One person attains the Dao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."
Liang Qu thought.
It's not easy to nourish spiritual weapons and significantly improve them to produce layer changes. It's only because he integrated the Water-Marsh Monkey that the changes were amazing.
Looking at Fubo, Abyss Wood bow, blood stone arm guards.
Undoubtedly, several spiritual weapons had been significantly enhanced, and the feel was better.
Excluding the spiritual weapon dagger Green Wolf sent by the eldest senior brother.
Fubo was irrigated with his own blood when it was born, and it was the most compatible with Liang Qu, with the best nourishment effect. The Dragon Spirit Gauze, Abyss Wood bow, and blood stone arm guards were slightly worse, but as self-born spirits, they could also absorb Qi and blood.
Only the Green Wolf, belonging to someone else's spiritual weapon, had a very poor absorption efficiency.
Doesn't matter.
It was used to handle many trivial matters anyway, strength wasn't important.
Let the Dragon-Person brothers find a piece of clothing and throw it into the water pool.
Liang Qu swam to the shore and controlled the water stains.
The Dragon girls stepped closer.
"The Dragon Spirit Gauze evolved and detached itself."
Liang Qu handed over the Dragon Spirit Gauze to explain.
Long Yao and Long Li looked at each other, reached out to touch, and found it was indeed so.
This piece of mermaid treasure was as hard as iron wire, and couldn't be worn at all.
"Elder doesn't need to explain specifically. Having lived together for two months, I naturally know the Elder's character." Long Eying said.
Liang Qu felt great comfort in his heart, turned his head to criticize Long Yao and Long Li.
"Look, look! The time you have lived with Sister Eying is not as long as you two!"
Long Yao and Long Li knew that the Elder was talking about the concubine inquiry the day before yesterday, and stood with their hands behind their backs, drawing circles with their toes.
Long Binglin laughed: "Congratulations to the Elder for martial arts progress. Even Yanrui's Qi consumption didn't give me such great oppression. Ordinary Grandmasters are
Long Binglin laughed: "Congratulations to the Elder for your martial arts progress. Even when Yanyui was consuming qi, he never gave me such great pressure. Ordinary Grandmasters are likely no match for the Elder in a single exchange!"
"Jiang Zongshi..."
Liang Qu thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Not quite there yet."
Not there yet?
For now?
Long Binglin noticed the two keywords and was greatly astonished.
If not a Great Demon or Jiang Zongshi, why could he exert such great pressure?
And what did "for now" mean?
While pondering.
The sound of rain grew louder, and his ears were filled with the sound of water.
Long Eying asked: "I wonder when the Elder will return to the prefecture?"
Liang Qu looked around and laughed: "Didn't we agree that we'd go back whenever we saw the Flowing Light Sea? What's wrong, don't want to see it anymore?"
Long Eying shook her head.
"The Elder doesn't need to accommodate us; this is too much of a waste of time. You should be the priority."
Long Yao and Long Li were greatly disappointed, but they knew it was indeed the case.
It rained heavily the day before yesterday, and the ground was muddy, not yet dry in the valley.
If it rains again today, it will take at least three or four days for the ground and shrubs to dry out completely and for all the fireflies to come out.
After that, who knows if there will be accidents, or if they'll be waiting in vain.
The Elder coming to Huazhu for the grand sacrifice is official business; dragging it out too long is not good.
It's true that Liang Qu is willing to accompany them.
But one must know oneself.
Once is fine, but if you push it too often, you'll slowly become annoying.
"Is that what you're worried about?" Liang Qu mostly understood their thoughts and turned to ask Long Binglin, "What time is it?"
Long Binglin said: "Just entered the hour of Rending."
"Just entered Rending... not yet Zishi." Liang Qu had a count in his heart. "I heard the fireflies at Linggu Temple are different from other places; they remain very active from the hour of Hai until Zishi. If the rumors are true, we can see them today."
"Today?" Long Li looked up. "Elder, it's still raining. The valley doesn't get sunlight, so it's unlikely even the day after tomorrow."
Liang Qu grinned.
"If I say we can, we can."
Snap!
He snapped his fingers.
The group suddenly felt a breeze brush their faces.
The sound of rain in the world stopped abruptly.
Long Binglin's pupils dilated, and he reached out to touch, but couldn't touch a single raindrop.
After breathing a few times, he was even more shocked to find that it wasn't just the rain; even the humid stuffiness in the air had disappeared!
Looking around.
A faint light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black world.
Long Eying looked up, and the cold moonlight was reflected in her black eyes.
There was a small patch in the dark gray clouds that was almost transparent.
The cold light pierced through the gray, gauze-like clouds, brightening their hearts with joy; it was like candlelight burning through silk, moonlight shining through a gap in the clouds, expanding rapidly, and outside the silvery-cold light, a corner of a star-filled sky, washed clean, appeared.
Everyone looked in surprise at this ever-changing sky.
Long Yao and Long Li took half a step back, keenly sensing something unusual under their feet.
The soft, rain-soaked mud turned into hard particles of dry soil, clearly felt through the soles of their shoes.
Looking down.
The black, tide-soaked land faded to a dry yellow.
The wet green leaves dropped their dew, stood tall again, and became verdant and shiny.
Even the mud on the tips of their embroidered shoes disappeared.
The weather... had cleared up.
Not the clearing up after a sudden rain, but the bright, sunny weather after days of scorching sun, with dry air!
The Dragon Girls huddled together, slightly opening their mouths.
Not just the Dragon People, even the fireflies were confused, tentatively crawling out of rock crevices, but not daring to fly rashly, crawling around to collect information.
Liang Qu waited quietly.
The Dragon Girls held their breath.
Two points of light suddenly jumped up in the darkness, showing a faint fluorescent green.
The two points of light intertwined and flickered, seeking companions in the vast, quiet world.
The wind flowed gently, bringing the swaying of the mountain forest and the echoes of the empty valley.
The bamboo shoots absorbed enough rainwater and slowly pushed up under the soil; the rainwater remaining in the gaps of the bamboo leaves merged into the soil, waking the sleeping fireflies.
Spots of green light drifted out from the gaps, swaying and illuminating the shrubs.
Shortly after.
The flowing light merged into a sea, and the waves rose and fell silently.
