Chapter 734

~11 min read 2,082 words

End of June, the rain was drizzling.

Tatta Kai sat on the ridge of the field with a wooden bucket, hooking red earthworms for the iron hook.

The frogs in the rice field jumped to the tips of the leaves, opened their mouths wide to bathe in the rain, moistened their skin, and breathed to their heart's content. Every time someone stepped over, ten or more would be startled, scurrying around.

"Hey!"

Little Little Shunzi led Little Kui and Wen Wen Shi Yun, threw themselves down, tightly clenched their palms, and pulled them to the front.

Full of mud and grass, the little fingers loosened one by one, and in the curled index finger gap, there was exactly a dark brown, panting little frog.

"Give it to you!"

Little Little Shunzi pinched the frog leg.

Wen Wen Shi Yun widened her eyes and took the hard-won creature as a treasure.

The two saints of the sea returned to the dynasty, arrived in Pingyang, a rare opportunity for exchange.

Therefore, the King of Xu Yue was busy with the Jiaolong matter, did not return to Ningjiang, but instead traveled with the King of Su and the King of Prince Bohai to see the scenery of Pingyang. Not two days later, Wen Wen Shi Yun was also sent over by Zhang Xu's house steward and moved into the Liang residence.

In the water-ze tens of meters away from the three, Liang Qu leaned against the tentacles and slid down all the way, falling into the middle. The Sea Shopkeeper arched its tentacles and let Liang Qu slide down again, like a slide.

"Peng Ze Demon Chief, General Yuan... I have heard of him. The black crocodile turtle that obtained the essence blood of the Jianghuai Dragon King in the past. I wanted to trade before, but I couldn't find the demon. Little Water actually has such a path?"

"By chance, it's just a stubborn old man who is not easy to talk to. He promised to summon the great demons of Peng Ze for trade, and there is another important business to talk about separately. At that time, Shopkeeper, use this turtle shell piece to stimulate the breath, and you can summon General Yuan."

Liang Qu held up a shell piece the size of half a person, which was branded with the old turtle's breath, just like the longevity gift sent in Huangzhou.

Regarding the renting of land, the old turtle agreed, but he was not at ease with him, fearing that he would say the wrong thing in the middle, leak a word or two, and make people suspect the existence of the sequence long-qi, so he had to negotiate and trade in person.

If you ask him, it's worrying about nothing.

The five difficulties of eating qi, the "seeking" and "receiving" in the middle are not for decoration.

Even if noticed and received, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, crossing heavy difficulties and obstacles, not everyone has the means to see the role of long-qi at a glance.

But who made him a big landlord?

"Little Water is really amazing!"

Coldness touched his face.

The Sea Shopkeeper danced with joy, rolled up the shell piece with one foot, and sent a fresh red treasure fish with another.

Crackle.

Another large blood lion weighing more than twelve jin!

"Many thanks, Shopkeeper!"

Blood lion fish.

Delicious.

Currently, the top-grade treasure fish Liang Qu has seen, compared to it, any red blood perch, tiger-headed grouper, ox-horned pomfret, cannot be on the table at all. Twelve jin of blood lion, just eating the meat has 10,000 essence as a base!

It is by no means difficult to get 17,000 or 18,000 essence for the whole fish, and it is even worth matching medicine to refine alchemy.

Pity.

With the arrival of sea merchants, a large amount of materials flooded into the market. The famous alchemists in the market were full of orders, working hard. It is said that the quota for good alchemists has been arranged until two months later, and there is an extra fee for cutting in line.

Besides, poor!

Three melons and two dates, clinking...

Two days ago, he asked Lu Jia to find a piece of top-grade mutton-fat jade to "fake" again. Even at the acquaintance price, it cost more than 3,000, and the white silver in his hand completely fell below the 10,000-tael mark, with more than 8,000 left.

Not even a 10,000-tael household.

It's been more than half a year. During festivals, why didn't Brother Quan Brother Quan Linghan show any expression?

Where did the protection fee go?

Liang Qu transferred the dividend of the Twenty Jiaoren silk to let the Twenty Jiaoren earn more, in order to abandon white silver for essence. Who would have thought that Brother Quan Brother Quan Linghan would not only not give more essence, but for several months in a row, even the original share of Twenty Jiaoren tears was gone.

Just eat it.

Don't refine alchemy, dismantle the internal organs and fish bones, and the little ones can also share a cup of soup.

Avoid the poisonous thorns, pinch the fish gills, Liang Qu stepped on the Sea Shopkeeper's tentacles and landed.

"Stop playing! Go back and take a bath, beware of the cold!"

Wen Wen Shi Yun threw away the frog in her hand, the three of them rolled up their trouser legs, moved out of the rice field bit by bit, and Tatta Kai followed with two buckets full of crayfish.

Patting his back, drying the moisture on the clothes of the three, Liang Qu led the children to line up and go home.

Gurgle gurgle.

Sparks flew, white soup boiled.

Tatta Kai sprinkled green onions and coriander.

Wen Wen Shi Yun, Little Little Shunzi, and Little Kui soaked in hot water, lying on the window to smell the fragrance.

In the pond.

Bai Awei sucked up the fresh blood, and its bulging belly shriveled in the blink of an eye.

The fat catfish, fist, and round head shared the residue. The latter two beasts ate it clean in one bite. Only Afei, swallowed the fish internal organs without swallowing, repeatedly chewed, as if it could eat more essence by chewing constantly.

【Water-ze Essence +】

【Water-ze Essence: 83,000】

Liang Qu opened his eyes, his whole body vibrating.

Satisfied.

140,000 to 80,000, seemingly less, but actually 70,000 essence did not disappear, but became the company of "Cannot Move" at the demon beast level. This trip made a net profit of 10,000!

The Sea Shopkeeper doesn't know the old turtle's ability and the content of the transaction yet. When it comes back in August, it will definitely give more benefits.

Just thinking.

The Ze Tripod trembled.

The creation long-qi swayed slowly.

【After a day's interval, the passing of the four seasons, can consume 3,000 water-ze essence to condense the seed of creation.】

Not surprised or panicked.

Seed of creation, one per season.

Obtained the life-creation in March, and so far has experienced a complete spring, so one should be born.

A thought moved lightly, the emerald seed fell, and faint waves rippled.

【Seed of Creation: 2】

【Water-ze Essence: 80,000】

July 4th.

Fine rain drifted.

Giant crabs rose and fell, salamanders entered the sea.

The Sea Shopkeeper waved its tentacles to say goodbye, and Liang Qu watched the azure demon disappear from the water surface.

The sea merchant fleet left in an orderly manner, mighty and mighty, leaving Pingyang Prefecture and rushing to Peng Ze.

Retail is good, but it can't stand the fact that large-scale transactions are more fragrant.

The next meeting will not be too far away. After going upstream, you still need to go downstream.

July 12th.

The humid water mist mixed with hot sweat stuck to his body. It was so humid and stuffy that he really didn't have the heart to work.

"Bing fire! Bing fire is here!"

"What a poisonous sun!"

"Time to dry the quilts, it's been raining for more than half a month, the house is almost moldy."

"Right, right, right!"

"Hot, really hot, don't want to work at all..."

The common people were noisy, stopped to look at the sky, the noisy tide rose, surging over the wall.

Liang Qu sat in the courtyard, 【Vine Soldier】 turned into a vine chair under him, witnessing with his own eyes the dim and rainy courtyard becoming bright and dazzling.

The scorching sun in the sky was like molten iron, evenly dripping a second scorching sun from below.

Everywhere on earth, there was white light, everywhere there was fire.

Before the plum rain season was over, two suns came out together, and in a moment, the clouds in the sky were steamed dry.

Shadows moved, setting off a breeze.

Long Yao and Long Li also passed by with quilts, helping Mother Li pull the rope to dry them.

"Finally here..."

Liang Qu's eyes were burning, and he sat up from the vine chair.

The highlight of the year!

The big guarantee that comes every year!

Bing fire day!

"I wonder if there will be moon essence..."

The mood was expectant and uneasy.

According to the proportion of Commander Meng Meng Qiang in the Imperial Capital, the Bing fire that has occurred once in more than 20 years, even the moonlight will increase significantly. This year, there should not only be sunshine, but also moon essence!

It's just that Liang Qu is not sure whether the "floc" of moon essence every year has been stored by the Ze Tripod, waiting for more "floc" to combine, because the creation long-qi has no reaction.

In Weishan Lake, the "floc" of rain and dew helped hatch a seed of creation.

Life creation can use residual "floc."

For this reason, he can only hope that it is "acclimatization" - the life creation of water and wood attributes cannot absorb the "floc" of sun and moon essence.

The water stains on the bluestone bricks were baked and evaporated, showing the gray-white original color.

The change of sun and moon, the movement of scenery.

An unprecedented long wait.

End of July.

A strand of crimson long-qi appeared in the tripod.

【Obtained a strand of red qi, if with ten thousand...】

"None?"

Liang Qu stared at the sun in the sky, giving birth to worry.

Every year, earn it anyway, but no one thinks it's too much.

An extra strand of long-qi, an extra Dragon Man grandmaster, and his own safety will also have a great guarantee.

"Wait, wait..."

Time flies.

Beginning of August.

Sunset red clouds.

Cicadas are calling for their lives.

The heat waves on the river surface are surging, and the world is like a steamer.

The Bing fire day, which lasts for about twenty days, is nearing its end.

The vine chair was hot, Liang Qu couldn't calm down at all, pacing the courtyard.

"What is the Elder worried about?" Long Long Eying asked.

"Me?"

"I see the Elder often looking at the sun and moon recently, and always frowning secretly. If you have any worries, why not tell me?"

"This..."

Liang Qu scratched his temples.

"Not really a worry..."

Halfway through the words, the slanting sun in the sky gradually dimmed, the bright moon hung high, and silver brilliance spread.

The sun sets and the moon rises.

The Ze Tripod scattered brilliance, like water like waves.

Hiss!

This is...

Liang Qu's heart trembled slightly, stopped his words, and held his breath.

Until he witnessed with his own eyes the brilliance condensing in the tripod, like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon, an old tree sprouting, deriving two thin lines, slowly drifting!

【Obtained a strand of solar long-qi...】

【Obtained a strand of lunar long-qi...】

Two strands!!!

Actually two strands??

A huge surprise surged, like a river like a sea.

Liang Qu was beaming, but before he could think carefully, the Third Prince flew in in a hurry, telling him that a Twenty Jiaoren had come to the pond.

Twenty Jiaoren?

Haven't seen them for a long time, could it be...

Let Long Long Eying wait a moment, Liang Qu stepped quickly to the courtyard.

"Clan Leader Brother Quan! Why are you free to come here tonight?"

Brother Quan Brother Quan Linghan clasped his hands and offered a bulging small leather bag.

"My Lord, fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission. The Brother Quan clan and the Leng clan have contributed a total of one hundred Twenty Jiaoren tears!"
