Chapter 886: Snake Tribe's Old Nest
Northern Region.
The fat catfish successfully mixed into the pufferfish five-fish team and marched toward the central court Long Gong in a mighty manner.
Southern Region.
Frog tribe territory.
Frozen rain fell from the sky, and the water surface of the Great King Lotus leaves swayed. Rainwater splashed, and the water foam splashed out was misty. Transparent water droplets rolled along the leaf veins, mixed with the air, and gathered into a cotton-white stream.
Big frogs were busy, stepping to the edge of the lotus leaves, pressing out layers of ripples.
"Bury two more pieces on the east side."
"Not crushed enough, crush it again, there can't be any hard lumps."
"Jumping twice is enough, jumping three times presses it too tight, not breathable."
Big Fat and Second Fat supported the lotus leaves with their claws, directing the frog tribe to loosen the soil and pile fertilizer, crushing the leftover fish bones and fish dregs, and filling them into the lotus root field.
The Heaven-Reaching Great King Lotus they cultivated absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon for decades before blooming once. Blooming once produces one thousand eight hundred seeds. Calculating the days, it's either next summer or the summer after next. At that time, they can have a beautiful meal again. It's about the harvest, so they can't be careless.
Splash.
The old toad kicked the water flow, topped the edge of the lotus leaf, looked up, and spat out a water arrow.
Second Fat was quick-eyed and fast-handed, stretching his arms to block the rain for the old toad: "Elder, why are you here? Is there any instruction?"
The old toad ignored Second Fat, turned over and climbed onto the lotus leaf, carried his claws on his back, stuck out his white belly, and looked into the infinite distance.
"The wind has risen."
The wind stirred ripples, without much language.
Just this scene, it really has a bit of Taoist fairy style.
The wind has risen?
Second Fat touched his belly, puzzled. He put down the lotus leaf, and strands of cool wind blew on his body, icy cool.
"It's freezing rain today, the wind is a bit strong, and it's a bit cool. Is the Elder thinking of sleeping on the Great King's fire bird skin? Shall I get it?"
"Stupid! Stupid to the extreme! Big stupid frog, cannot be taught!"
The old toad was furious, jumped up in the air, clanging, three webs slapped down heavily, then stepped on Second Fat's belly, did a backflip and lay on Second Fat's head, waving his claws forward.
"Quickly lead me to the entrance of the waterway!"
"Obey, Elder!"
Second Fat dropped the lotus leaf and jumped.
Splash!
Deep water bomb!
The waves fell back, and the majestic water column rose.
Study room.
Outside the round window, it was drizzling.
Long Yao stood in front of the bookshelf, took two squares of black ink, and frowned in thought.
"Sister Li, on a rainy day, do you use oil smoke or pine smoke?"
"Stupid." Long Li knocked on Long Yao's head, "Definitely oil smoke. Mixed with tung oil, the words written are not easy to be blurred by the dampness."
"I remembered!" Long Yao put down the pine smoke.
"Long Yao, ink?"
"Coming, coming!"
Long Yao ran out in a hurry, carrying a small copper pot, dripping water to grind.
Liang Qu leaned on the back of the Ruyi chair, opened the booklet sent by Senior Brother Hu, which detailed the operation mode of the Martial Academy.
He summarized it, and wrote down his thoughts on entering the martial academy to get a certificate, as well as the corresponding assessment methods, reducing financial burden, and strengthening local control.
Halfway through writing.
"Lord Liang!"
The old toad's loud voice resounded through the courtyard.
"Frog Duke?" Liang Qu picked up the brush, temporarily recorded his few flashes of inspiration to avoid negligence, then let Long Yao take it away to air-dry, and went out to the pond.
"Three days without seeing, what is the important matter for Frog Duke?"
The mountain waterfall was dense and continuous, and the water foam stirred up pushed the green-eyed snails, emitting more fragrance.
The old toad turned his back to Liang Qu, carried his claws on his back, stood on the waterfall, and looked into the distance.
Stared for a long time.
The toad head hung low, sighing leisurely.
"The wind has risen..."
Is this reading another biographical novel?
Liang Qu deliberated for a while and tentatively said: "The day of turning the world upside down, the time of dragons fighting and tigers fighting?"
"Ha!" The old toad trembled all over, his claws stretched out, jumped down from the hilltop, landed in front of him, and slapped Liang Qu's shoulder, "In the Great Marsh, the one who knows me is Lord Liang!"
"Eight buckets of the world's great luck, Frog Duke occupies eight buckets alone. Could it be that Frog Duke has smelled the bloody storm again? Conspiracy and tricks? Preparing to save the world from fire and water once again?"
The old toad looked solemn: "Don't hide it from Lord Liang, I have a road in the Great Marsh. The risk is a bit big, but the profit is very high. You three, I seven, how about it?"
Is there business?
Liang Qu thought there would be no major events before the end of the year. Every day he would check in, look at the river pier, the progress of the grand theater construction, and wait for the Imperial Court's Xuanhuang Long Qi to be finished. He didn't care much about the three-seven split. Creating something out of nothing is profit.
Rubbed his hands.
"What kind of business is it? Frog Duke, please tell me first."
The old toad pointed his claws: "I calculated with my claws, the opportunity is in the east of the Great Marsh!"
"East of the Great Marsh?" Liang Qu frowned, "East water area? Snake tribe's old nest?"
"Exactly." The old toad shook his head, "So the risk is quite high."
More than high.
In the past, the Jianghuai Great Marsh was divided into five parts.
Central Dragon Lord, East Snake, South Frog, West Turtle, North Fish.
The Dragon Lord disappeared, East Snake and North Fish joined forces, causing the Dragon King to move into the central Long Gong, and most of the original East Water Area was given to the North Fish King, with a small part kept by the Snake tribe.
It is rumored that the East Water Area is the most treacherous place in the entire Jianghuai Great Marsh.
There are several dangerous places such as the Soul-Bewitching Bay where you get lost if you enter, and the Poisonous Swamp Pool that rots if you touch it. There are countless shipwrecks, the ecological environment is different, and even the practitioners in the East Region are a bit different, with a style similar to the Southern Frontier.
So Liang Qu never had the idea of setting foot there.
Usually going to the estuary, south, west, north, all go around.
He felt tricky, but also felt that the old toad wouldn't shoot without a target.
"Does Frog Duke know what the opportunity is?"
The old toad shook his cheeks and sighed: "Frog power also has an exhausted day."
"How big is the opportunity?" Liang Qu changed the way of asking.
The old toad pondered for a while: "Bigger than observing the anomalies of heaven and earth, but should not be as good as gathering the long qi of heaven and earth?"
What kind of opportunity is this?
Opening the mysterious light, interacting with heaven and earth, Liang Qu felt inspired: "Could it be the Eight Beauties of Jianghuai?"
"What Eight Beauties?" The old toad didn't understand.
Liang Qu introduced the Eight Beauties.
The old toad frowned, very dissatisfied: "Eight Beauties of Jianghuai, why put a Dragon Girl in? The skin has no edges or corners, and the ugliness is exposed, not as good as half a beautiful frog at the head of the village. This beauty should be for my frog tribe!"
A toad inside the door, two frogs outside the door.
Long Yao and Long Li under the jujube tree puffed up their cheeks, but didn't dare to offend the frog tribe elder, secretly angry.
"The compiler has no eyes and doesn't know frog beauty." Liang Qu didn't want the topic to run away, complimented him, and immediately pulled it back, "Frog Duke, do you know about Dream White Fire and Phoenix Immortal fish?"
"Eh, eh eh eh..." The old toad made several 'ehs', suspicious, paced around the pond, for a long time, "After you said it, it's really a bit similar!"
Up to here.
Liang Qu had a count in his heart.
The Eight Beauties of Jianghuai are probably deliberately released by someone with a heart!
With the Dragon Girl and Mermaid Tear, the beautiful things familiar to the people as the leading 'evidence' and 'anchor', and then taking legendary things like Long Gong and Immortal Palace to raise expectations, invisibly raising the expectations for the two treasure fish that can be parallel to them.
Including the name of the Eight Beauties.
People are born to like to divide one, two, three. Throwing out concepts, there is naturally heat and singing.
"Treasure fish spirituality is easy to dissipate, and it can be kept in captivity for at most one season. The hype of someone with a heart has long exceeded this time, unless it has unique nourishing means like the Round Head under his command...
Could it be that they only found traces, didn't capture them, or the treasure fish are still in the brewing stage?"
Liang Qu's thoughts flew.
A moment later.
"Frog Duke, is this opportunity urgent?"
"Not urgent, there will be no major movements within a few months."
"Does Frog Duke have any other warnings?"
"With Lord Liang's ability, don't change back and forth!"
"What do you mean?"
"After going to the East Region, the Bai Yuan will always be the Bai Yuan, and the human body will always be the human body."
"Even if there are no people or fish around?"
The old toad nodded vigorously.
