Chapter 789: Ice Crystal Palace
"Without presenting a visiting card, I hope I'm not disturbing you?"
King Yue carried his hands on his back and walked out around the wall.
Su Guishan stood "at attention" and bowed respectfully: "Su Guishan, Provincial Governor of Pingyang Water River, pays respects to His Highness King Yue!"
"Provincial Governor Su, I trust you have been well."
"Teacher!"
Liang Qu hugged Wen Wen Shi Yun and walked up quickly, "How could a student not be happy about a teacher visiting? It's just that the student is truly puzzled. The New Year is in a few days, why did Teacher suddenly come to Pingyang Prefecture instead of reuniting with your family?"
"Because it's not just Little Stone, we all came!" The Crown Prince's consort walked out accompanied by a middle-aged man, talking and laughing. Seeing Wen Wen Shi Yun in Liang Qu's arms, her expression stiffened, and she reached out to take him, "How old are you, wanting Master to hold you? Get down quickly!"
"It's fine." Liang Qu weighed Wen Wen Shi Yun and stepped back half a step, "Little Stone can't come to Pingyang a few times a year. He's grown up and doesn't care to be held, but I, as his Master, care."
Wen Wen Shi Yun grinned.
Wulong also grinned, its big furry tail blowing in the wind.
Liang Qu looked at the middle-aged man beside the Crown Prince's consort again; he was tall, with a gentle face and bright eyes.
"This is... His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Wen Chengyun bowed: "I have long heard of the name of the Baron of Xingyi. Mr. Liang has been Wen Wen Shi Yun's Master for two years, but this is the first time we have met today. It is my dereliction of duty as a father. Since we are of the same generation, Mr. Liang can just call me by my name, Chengyun."
"That's not appropriate." Liang Qu shook his head, "It's true we are of the same generation, but it's also true that His Highness the Crown Prince is much older. I'd better call you Brother Wen."
Wen Chengyun smiled and responded: "That's fine too."
"Lord Liang!"
"Steward Zhang!"
The Imperial Grandson, King Yue, the Crown Prince couple, and the Prince's Mansion Steward Zhang Xu followed out, and behind them was a long line of servants.
Now there were even more people, more than a dozen people poured into the residence, and the deserted courtyard became lively and vivid in the blink of an eye.
Boxes of fruits, flowers, pastries, and big red lanterns were sent into the hall. By now, Liang Qu finally reacted.
"Teacher is spending the New Year in Pingyang Prefecture this year?"
King Yue nodded: "I sensed an extraordinary momentum in Ningjiang Prefecture. It's the Vajra Wisdom King, right?"
"It is indeed the Great Master. He exited seclusion today... yesterday, and is still in seclusion, so it's not good to disturb him."
"It doesn't matter, there is plenty of time during the New Year, no need to meet today. Are there any empty rooms at home?"
"The hired workers..."
"Just us few and Zhang Xu."
"Yes! It's just that the rooms are a bit narrow, I don't know if Teacher, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince's consort are used to it."
Su Guishan had requirements for living, so Liang Qu went all out and expanded his home, basically building a second floor, and there were plenty of empty rooms. Excluding servants, there was definitely no shortage of bedrooms.
"How can one be used to it or not? It's just a place to sleep."
"Brother Wen and Madam Wen..."
"It's only for a few days, I'll listen to Mr. Liang's arrangements."
"The Crown Prince's consort will stay with Eying, right?"
"Eying, you call her so affectionately, Little Stone's Master's wife?" The Crown Prince's consort smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Liang Qu chuckled.
"I'll listen to Mr. Liang's arrangements."
The Crown Prince's consort had no opinion, and the rest were easy to arrange.
King Yue, Wen Chengyun, Zhang Xu, and Liang Qu lived in the backyard. Liang Qu gave his master bedroom to King Yue, and the others lived in guest rooms.
With order, Long Yao and Long Li led the Prince's Mansion servants to clean up, and Wen Wen Shi Yun ran off to find fun in the pond.
Su Guishan left under the pretext of official business.
Light snow flew, the New Year hadn't arrived yet, but the atmosphere had already been born, full of popularity and joy in the courtyard.
Looking at the carriage outside the door.
"Teacher, let's go to Jiangchuan County for the New Year this year!"
"Jiangchuan County? The place where the Jiaoren are?"
"Exactly!"
This was a thought Liang Qu had after careful consideration.
Last year he ran to the Imperial Capital for the New Year and didn't have a chance to reunite. This year he had time, so he definitely wanted to be with his Master's family.
Letting his Master come to his own house would look like fawning over the powerful. In terms of relationship, Yang Dongxiong and the Xu family were undoubtedly closer.
However, letting King Yue go to his Master's house didn't conform to etiquette either; after all, he was a Martial Saint.
He simply let both sides move and have a "novel" underwater New Year!
As for where.
The ocean was too far. Before the White Ape truly became a Grandmaster, it was not appropriate to expose the vortex waterway, and the ten-plus days of travel were too tiring and long.
The Toad race and Dragon-man race lands were other people's territory, which was not suitable. Moreover, the few days of travel were not short.
The Jiaoren were different.
The Jiaoren had very close dealings with human merchant associations, and the distance was very close, a hundred miles. At the speed of a treasure ship, a round trip would take the time of a meal.
"Go to the island?" Wen Chengyun asked.
"No, go underwater!"
"Underwater?"
"Father's cultivation is profound, so naturally it's fine, but we can't hold our breath for too long..." The Crown Prince's consort wanted to know how Liang Qu would solve it.
"Rest assured about this. Holding our breath for the holiday, wouldn't that be looking for trouble? If Teacher agrees to this, I'll take care of everything. It definitely won't be worse than at home."
"The guest follows the host's convenience. Young people have active minds and ideas, so be bold and do it."
"Got it!"
King Yue agreed, and the rest had no opinion, also looking forward to what fresh things Liang Qu would come up with.
After settling King Yue's family, Liang Qu rode his horse to the Yang Residence to tell them about this, and also got the answer to go ahead and do it.
And so.
Liang Qu first went to the River Patrol Office and used his authority to mobilize two water spiders, then ran to the deep sea and met Long Eying. "Ice Crystal Palace?"
"Right!"
Liang Qu punched his palm, excitedly explaining his idea to Long Eying, and Long Eying immediately understood Liang Qu's intention.
Underwater Ice Crystal Palace.
With her ability, she could do it completely.
The transparency of the walls could be adjusted, just by controlling the air bubble content in the ice.
Apart from being a bit cold, there were no major problems.
And the air in the ice house didn't circulate, and the heat insulation was also good, so it would be warm after a little activity.
The water spiders were specifically responsible for air exchange with the water surface.
Liang Qu couldn't help but smile.
"There will be a surprise then. It was originally prepared for you, but now it's just right for everyone together!"
"Everyone together?"
Long Eying found it hard to imagine what surprise could be for everyone together.
"Eh, you'll know when the time comes."
"Okay."
Pond.
The little river otters stood in rows, welcoming a pile of little gadgets with special functions, and began to arrange them busily.
Wen Wen Shi Yun could hear some "strange sounds" from outside the big beaver's wooden house from time to time, as if a big play was being staged in the small wooden house, but it was kept secret and he wasn't allowed in.
Everything was arranged properly.
Long Eying went to Jianghuai to build the Ice Crystal Palace, and Liang Qu took over, personally protecting the Sea Fangzhu. He let the fat catfish create a small rock island and practiced his spear technique seriously.
Normally he wouldn't be so diligent, but he couldn't help it because the new Fubo was too fragrant, making people unable to put it down.
It was interrupted by Uncle earlier, and he wasn't satisfied at all!
Whoosh!
Tiger Fubo swept out, the spear tip swept across, and the ocean split for a hundred meters, like dividing the sea.
Dragon Fubo pierced through, piercing through endless water waves, collapsing rocks and splitting stones.
The fat catfish flapped its fins to cheer.
Used from a small mysterious weapon, every move and style of the Green Dragon Spear Technique seemed to have received a powerful leverage-like boost, stirring the ocean to vibrate endlessly.
The more Liang Qu fought, the more excited he became, sweating like rain in the cold weather.
At the end of the Green Dragon Spear Technique, there was a golden chrysanthemum blooming several times larger than in the Imperial Capital.
Yan Dongjun.
Blood Chrysanthemum!
It hadn't been stained with blood, the Blood Chrysanthemum was Fubo's original color, golden and brilliant. However, with the blessing of Dragon-Tiger Qi, the whole chrysanthemum was not just a dazzling light and shadow, but flew off the spear tip like a real object!
"This..."
Liang Qu's forearm felt sore and numb; he retracted his spear in an instant, staring as the entire golden chrysanthemum detached from the spear tip and drifted away.
The rock island it touched instantly turned into stone powder, drifting away in the wind.
The chrysanthemum petals fell into the ocean, the water seemed to boil, countless water foam splashed and bounced, scattering into water mist.
The dragon-tiger dual Qi of the past had all been used as incidental force, and had never been applied so deeply.
The old monk insisted on passing on the art. The Dragon-Tiger Golden Body was indeed superior to the ordinary Golden Body in all aspects, and the dragon-tiger dual Qi in it seemed not to exist just as a "special effect"...
Liang Qu sat horizontally with the spear and thought silently.
He had no clue yet.
Deep in the ocean, a terrifying aura expanded!
A cold shiver went from his tailbone to the back of his head.
Sea Fangzhu!?
Swish!
The water flow collapsed.
The earth shook and the mountains swayed.
The few small fish fled in panic, but before they could swim out of the range, the rock layer could no longer block the terrifying aura, collapsing and shattering!
Boom!
A white pillar rushed to the sky!
The small fish facing the Demon King's power instantly turned their bellies up and floated.
"It's done!"
Liang Qu was shocked by the Sea Fangzhu's power, but there was no hostility in the power.
It had been three full months since the fight in October.
The Eight-Clawed King was indeed not easy to digest.
Bang!
Azure tentacles slapped away the rocks, lying in front of him. Liang Qu looked up slightly. Clearly, it was just the tip of the tentacle, but the thickness was several times larger than before!
White dragon dancing wildly.
The divine dragon sees its head but not its tail.
Several tentacles were pulled out of the cave one after another, and one wrapped around the ice block sealing the Eight-Clawed King. With all eight legs out, the Sea Fangzhu rose with a roar.
Wild waves were set off at the bottom of the water.
A large number of air bubbles floated up gloomily.
Liang Qu controlled the water to separate, but before he could step forward, the tentacles swept over and grabbed him into them.
"Hahaha, caught you! Colluding with the Sea Fangzhu to take my life!? Do you really think Demon King flesh is delicious!? Today I will..."
"Fangzhu Great Master, don't joke." Liang Qu was fearless, "There is not half a killing intent in your aura, don't pretend to be possessed by a fish."
"Little Water is so smart!"
The same imperial sister voice, the cold tentacles pulled Liang Qu to the front and rubbed hard.
"Ugh..."
Liang Qu helplessly fell into a piece of softness.
