Chapter 963: I Am Not the Reincarnation of the Dragon Lord
What is going on?
He can control the favor?
Bestow it upon others?
Liang Qu's eyes flashed repeatedly.
Long Binglin also sensed something different. First and second-generation Dragon-men could faintly perceive the favor of the Huai River. Although they were third-generation, their bloodline concentration was even better than some second-generation clansmen. It was precisely because of this point that the few of them had sought out Liang Qu in the past.
At this very moment.
Long Binglin's perception of the water vapor drifting in the air was even clearer; it seemed he could clench his fist and squeeze out water at any time.
This is unusual!
He felt it carefully.
"My Lord, did you share the favor with me?" Long Binglin's expression changed drastically. "How can this be? Those who obtain the favor of heaven and earth are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns! It is the key to the fruit position of the Jianghuai! How can it be lightly bestowed upon others?"
Having lived together for several years, they knew many secrets. The Jianghuai favor concerned the throne and could make the ability to control water twice as effective with half the effort. The more, the better. Sharing it out was absolutely harmful and had no benefit!
Now that the Flood Dragon was at a critical moment of transformation, if they fell short by this tiny bit at the last moment, he, Long Binglin, would be a sinner through the ages!
"Don't be anxious."
Telling Long Binglin to calm down, Liang Qu reached out and pulled.
【River Favor Degree: 14.6478】
It didn't change.
It was still 0.0001 less.
This favor was given out—
"Can't take it back?"
"Mm."
Liang Qu nodded, and then his waist was lightly pinched. He turned his head to face Long Eying's gaze.
Her brow was slightly furrowed, her willow eyebrows slanted upward.
So stern!
Liang Qu looked away, feeling inexplicably guilty.
"What's wrong?"
"What's wrong, what's wrong? Acting recklessly all day, just like a child. How can the favor of heaven and earth be had just by saying so? How many people, how many demons, break their heads seeking it—" Halfway through, worried that her wording was too harsh, Long Eying softened her tone. "Usually you always coax me about getting married in the Long Gong in the future, always so casual—when will it be accomplished?"
"Ha, I thought it was something else. Don't be angry, Wife." Liang Qu laughed, wrapped his arms around Eying's waist, and stroked her back. "I didn't give much, just a drop in the bucket."
"Even half a drop won't do! Asking me for silver money all day—it's not that I'm complaining about you. A woman follows her husband, a woman follows her dog.
What is mine is yours, but when have you ever asked me about what you have?"
Seeing Eying's resentful expression for the first time, discussing small family conflicts, Liang Qu scratched his temples and looked up at the sky: "Actually, I mainly feel that it's not necessarily essential to have this favor of heaven and earth."
Don't want the favor?
"Elder, such a major matter—it's better not to joke!" Long Binglin was extremely serious.
On the contrary, Long Eying relaxed her brow upon hearing this.
She never complained that Liang Qu had too many ideas; that was her man's strength. She was just dissatisfied with Liang Qu's casualness.
Long Eying reached out to straighten Liang Qu's collar.
"What ghost of an idea are you cooking up again?"
"Wife understands me!" Liang Qu was delighted, then rubbed his temples. "I haven't cleared my thoughts yet. Let me think about it carefully first."
"A-Shui! Where are you? Go listen to the scriptures! Dawdling, are you up yet?" Xu Zishuai shouted outside the courtyard.
"Coming!"
Liang Qu grabbed Eying's wrist.
"Let's go, let's go listen to the scriptures first, we'll talk when we come back at noon!"
With the Dharma assembly imminent, no matter how much he wanted to know, Long Binglin had to suppress it.
The rising sun ascended, and shadows gradually shortened.
Drip.
The snow on the eaves melted and dripped, moistening the soil.
On Bodhi Island, the disciples in the back rows were swaying.
The young people in the sect had decent talent, but their own realms were not very high. They could hold on for the first two days, but after five or six days of grinding, they lost their spirit. Listening to scriptures all day, their entertainment needs were not met, so they used their time at night to make up for it, thus falling into a vicious cycle of sleep deprivation.
But what was strange was that Zhang Longxiang had not participated in the morning scripture-listening assembly, and Liang Qu was just as absent-minded as the disciples in the back row, writing and drawing on the booklet.
The cold wind scraped by, and Bodhi leaves fell melodiously.
The old monk reached out.
The leaf swayed and fell into his palm. He blew on it, and it hit the young man's forehead like a sharp arrow.
Liang Qu looked around, and seeing no one noticed, he coughed twice and hurriedly concentrated his attention.
Noon.
The cafeteria was noisy, with several times more people coming to eat, and the clamor was several degrees higher than usual.
The matter of Liang Qu wounding Zhang Longxiang had caused a huge stir, and people from the five great orthodox sects all hoped to have a few words with Liang Qu.
Unfortunately, the person involved had no time to chat with anyone.
He asked Senior Brother Xiang to bring him some food, and the Little Mirage Dragon and A-Wei kept watch at the door.
Liang Qu pulled the Dragon-man into the study, spread out a white paper, drew an irregular large circle, dotted the word "Frog" below it, dotted the word "Fang" outside the large circle, posted it on the screen, and stated the "wonderful plan" he had pondered all morning.
"What do you say, what if I bestow all this favor of heaven and earth upon the Frog King or the Sea Fang Lord?"
The incense smoke changed and reorganized in the sunlight.
Dead silence.
Long Eying tilted her head.
Liang Qu reached out to straighten her head and combed her long hair with his five fingers.
Long Binglin was incredulous and almost couldn't sit still: "My Lord—why do this? That is—the favor of heaven and earth!
The Dragon Lord has been gone for two sixty-year cycles and must reappear in the world. Aren't all kinds of signs precisely because he obtained the favor of heaven and earth and was nurtured together with the spirit of the Jianghuai?
One of the two conditions has already been met, how can it be lightly handed over to others?"
"It is precisely because of the favor of heaven and earth!" Liang Qu patted the paper, the palm wind lifting the corners of the pages. "I have obtained the favor. Although there are divine benefits, I am tied hand and foot, not daring to go to the Central Court Long Gong for fear of the Flood Dragon noticing.
Furthermore, the favor of heaven and earth is inherently compatible with the demon race's cultivation path, and its power is even more fierce. Let the Frog King, who has obtained the favor, take the lead and pull the Flood Dragon out of the Long Gong! I can then take the opportunity to seize the Dragon Pearl! Break the Flood Dragon's transformation first. After the event is successful, the Dragon Pearl's benefits will be divided according to contribution!"
Long Binglin tried hard to dissuade him.
"My Lord, although the Frog King's strength is strong, one-on-one, the Frog King cannot beat the Flood Dragon at all! Not to mention the Northern Fish watching covetously! Bestowing the favor is absolutely not a good strategy, and it will even fall into a passive position!"
"I understand that too!" Liang Qu picked up his brush, dotted a "Turtle" on the left, and pulled the "Fang" from the outside in. "Therefore, we must persuade the West Turtle to obstruct the Northern Fish and invite the Sea Fang Lord to support the Frog King. Binglin, our goal is not to kill the Flood Dragon; that is unrealistic and even more impossible. We are to seize the Dragon Pearl!
We don't even need to pull it out; we only need to create a gap, giving me a chance to take advantage of the situation. Once the Dragon Pearl is obtained—Eying, do you remember when I groomed your body when meeting the Sturgeon King?"
"Seize the Dragon Pearl, then groom the Frog King and Turtle King?"
"That's right! Relying on the benefits of the Dragon Pearl, let the Frog King and Turtle King's strength leap up a level to resist the Flood Dragon's subsequent retaliation!"
"..."
The Jianghuai Dragon Pearl!
The Dragon Lord's world-renowned relic, a rare treasure of the world, none can compare to it. It must contain an astonishing amount of essence and astonishing favor!
The Flood Dragon spits out the pearl slowly, which doesn't mean he is slow too!
Sprouting Heart Fire, Liang Qu realized he had fallen into a thinking trap before.
The world does not need a "savior."
Never regard yourself as the protagonist. It won't happen exactly right, rushing to the rescue at the last moment of the story. To confront the Flood Dragon head-on, the Ze Spirit fusion degree must reach at least 80% of the current stage, which is absolutely not a matter of a day or two. Normal development might take ten years of effort!
The True Dragon has disappeared for two sixty-year cycles and must reappear in the Huai River.
At present, there are only ten-plus years left until that time. It is impossible to widen the gap to a safe range, and the Flood Dragon will likely act in advance.
Chasing each other.
Is there really enough time?
With the continuous growth of the favor degree, will the Flood Dragon act like a dog jumping over a wall and act in advance?
If the Flood Dragon really achieves the Melting Pot, it will be a dead end!
"But My Lord, what about you?" Long Binglin was still worried. "If the favor is given to the likes of the Frog King, will the Long Gong be handed over in the future?"
"Binglin." Liang Qu stared into Long Binglin's pupils and said seriously, "I am not the reincarnation of the Dragon Lord."
Long Binglin was stunned.
Liang Qu was not the reincarnation of the Dragon Lord; he naturally knew this. It was nothing more than a misunderstanding caused by the Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe brothers in the past. They were willing to follow him entirely because Liang Qu had solved the Dragon-men's predicament and given the Dragon-men hope.
Suddenly emphasizing it again at this moment...
"The Jianghuai Dragon Lord established the small Jianghuai nation and sat on equal footing with the Whale Emperor of the East Sea. I will not."
Hum~
The Ze Cauldron emitted a brilliant brilliance.
The word "Favor," which had been stable and motionless, twisted and distorted.
