Chapter 964: Governance

Inside the Ze Cauldron, infinite brilliance surged.

Above the waves, aurora flowed.

The word "Favor" twisted, reorganized, and countless symbols overlapped, converging into a brand-new piece of information!

【River Governance Degree: 0.1】

The water vapor in the air became three parts heavier, like the stuffiness of a scorching summer day just before it rains. Ants crawled out of their holes, lined up in long queues, carrying rice and grain on their heads to move house. Swallows gave up hunting, folded their wings, and returned under the eaves to cover their young.

Long Binglin was stunned on the spot.

Decisive.

Majestic.

A born king.

A transformation that could not be clearly described seemed to have occurred in Liang Qu, towering like a mountain.

No.

Thinking back carefully, the transformation had already occurred before.

Was it the day he obtained the Life-Bound Buddha and ignited the Heart Fire?

Even the favor of heaven and earth, which ordinary people regard as their life, can be discarded...

A battle between heaven and man.

For a long time.

Long Binglin lowered his head: "Elder, what should the Dragon-man clan do?"

"Good!"

Liang Qu was extremely pleasantly surprised that Long Binglin could understand, and immediately stated the plan.

"The Sea Fang Lord and I are friends of life and death, and she has even promised the imperial court to take action three times. Reasonably and emotionally, it is not difficult to invite her. The Frog King is intelligent and simple-minded, and in terms of decisions, he relies more on Old Toad, so he is trustworthy.

The only problem is the West Turtle. Within the few years before I grow into a Heavenly Human Jiang Zongshi and solve the disaster of the Great Snow Mountain, I will try my best to befriend and interact with the West Turtle to probe its stance and confirm whether it can help resist the Northern Fish. Seizing the Dragon Pearl is different from the last time's coercion; it is a real bloody battle."

Long Binglin thought for a moment, still worried.

"The Flood Dragon's strength is extraordinary. The Sea Fang Lord is a newly promoted Demon King, and the main force is still the Frog King. Is this inappropriate? A few years ago,

the scene of the King of Su, the King of Bohai, and the King of Yue returning from the ocean and jointly coercing—"

"Do you remember why the imperial court didn't take action against the Eight-Clawed King?"

Silence.

"I understand."

There was a probability of killing the Eight-Clawed King, but the imperial court was still unwilling to take action on the surface, leaving behind a disaster.

Not to mention the situation where it was known that the Flood Dragon could not be killed, creating an opportunity to seize the Dragon Pearl.

Long Binglin asked again: "What about General Yuan?"

Liang Qu tapped the table with his index finger: "You asked well. We could invite the Old Turtle—"

The territory of Peng Ze is far from being as large as the Great Marsh of Jianghuai, but it is dominated by General Yuan alone. The old thing's strength is extraordinary, but the friendship between them is entirely based on interests, and he rarely thinks of it on weekdays.

"Be careful of turning against us in the middle of the battle." Long Eying had a bad impression of the Old Turtle.

"No rush."

The construction of the second immortal island is more than halfway done. Liang Qu is still some distance from being a Heavenly Human Jiang Zongshi, but it won't be long.

Before the favor degree reaches twenty, it should not cause the Flood Dragon to act like a dog jumping over a wall. Bestowing it upon the Frog King will also be more powerful, including the collection of the Flood Dragon's information. Knowing yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle. With the Little Star, it's not without hope.

These are all spaces that can grow before the real action. The Frog King and the Sea Fang Lord will also have plenty of time to prepare for the hard cultivation for longevity.

For a real Heavenly Dragon duel, several years of preparation is not long at all.

Details were proposed and perfected one after another.

At the end of noon.

Liang Qu let out a long breath.

"Then let it be so for now. I'll go back and talk to the Frog King and the Sea Fang Lord, and add more if there's anything else."

"I'll go back to the clan land." Long Binglin said, "There is a vortex waterway, I can make it in time for the afternoon scripture-listening assembly."

"That's fine. Binglin, sorry for the trouble."

Long Binglin did not dare to stop for a moment, rode the Red Mountain down the mountain, and borrowed the vortex waterway to return to the clan land to discuss.

Inside the study.

Liang Qu closed his eyes and communicated with the Ze Cauldron.

【Cauldron Master: Liang Qu】

【Refined Ze Spirit: Water King Ape → Great Sage Water Ape (Purple to Orange) (Fusion Degree: 225%)】

【Water Ze Essence: 293,000】

【River Governance Degree: 0.1】

The favor degree unexpectedly turned into governance degree, shrinking from fourteen points to 0.1 at once, but he could still feel that the favor had not disappeared, and the increase in water control he obtained because of the favor still existed.

A thought flashed.

The brilliance twisted.

【River Governance Degree: 0.1 (Favor Degree: 14.6478)】

The favor degree can increase the amount of water control by a proportion. What is the use of governance degree—"

No result.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Liang Qu opened his eyes.

Long Eying was sitting opposite the desk, her palms supporting her cheeks, her eyes moist, and she didn't answer.

Liang Qu's thoughts turned, and he asked happily: "Not angry anymore?"

"I see you, so I'm not angry?" Long Eying leaned back in her chair.

Abandoning the favor of heaven and earth to seize the Dragon Pearl—Liang Qu, who said these words today, was unusually attractive, and she couldn't help but want to look.

"Hey, my fault, my fault. In the future, I'll discuss more with you." Liang Qu admitted his mistake first, took the opportunity to run to the opposite side, supported her buttocks along the curve, took Long Eying into his arms, and then reached out to undo the buttons.

"Every day like this, is there no end?"

"I only touch because I like it. Others have no chest and no buttocks; even if they let me touch, I wouldn't look down on them."

"If you do this again, tonight I will sleep with Long Yao and Long Li."

Unable to touch her buttocks and chest, Liang Qu went to touch her feet, but they were all slapped away. Finally, he could only go to grab and touch her hair, experiencing the feeling of hair rubbing between his fingers, which was equally smooth and hard to let go of.

"It's been almost a month."

"In a Buddhist place, have more awe, and it just so happens that the Spirit Seed cultivation has produced a star-light."

"Fine, fine. Hey, why extend the scripture-listening assembly?"

Afternoon.

The scripture-listening assembly continued as usual, still without Zhang Longxiang's figure.

Outside, there was a lot of noise, guessing why Zhang Longxiang wanted to have such a scene with Liang Qu. In fact, Liang Qu himself didn't know, so he could only guess a little from the previous clues.

Zhang Longxiang was not a masochist, and he said that beheading the dragon was for immortal arts.

Immortal word—Liang Qu had only heard of a Melting Pot Martial Immortal from the King of Yue.

"I'm afraid it really has something to do with the Melting Pot. Don't let him learn the beheading of the dragon."

Zhang Longxiang's resume was too brilliant, making Liang Qu feel uneasy. But then he thought, it wouldn't matter if he really learned it.

Slap!

A Bodhi leaf fell from the center of his brow.

Liang Qu pinched the leaf, looked around to see no one noticed, and immediately placed it under his meditation cushion.

Evening.

The Dharma assembly ended.

Bodhi Island was orange-red, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

"Hey, Great Master—"

Ignoring those who hoped to chat, Liang Qu dragged his meditation cushion, supported the ground with one hand, and moved to the opposite side of the old monk's desk. The old monk was organizing the scriptures: "You don't go to eat with your senior brothers, what are you doing in front of me?"

"Ear, nose, mouth, eye, body, consciousness—that's already six consciousnesses. Has the Great Master researched the ones after?"

"If I have them, I will give them to you."

The few consciousnesses after are a bit difficult. It's been more than two years, Liang Qu thought.

He took "Treatise on Consciousness-Only" as the opening and talked nonsense.

The old monk stood up and looked at the setting sun: "If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm going to eat."

"Cough." Liang Qu didn't dare to sell the secret anymore. "Please Great Master, save the common people!"

The old monk looked at him and sat back down.

"Hehe, the matter is like this—"

The desk reflected the sky light, and the little novice monk bent down to wipe.

"Done!"

Without any surprise, the old monk was indeed the easiest hurdle. Liang Qu didn't spend much effort at all.

Next was the Abbot of the Hanging Temple, Master Di Xian.

"First use the observation of Dream White Fire to make him agree to let the old monk move to Pingyang Prefecture to watch—"

Rehearsing the draft.

"Cough cough, Great Masters, the matter is roughly like this."

Liang Qu took a sip of tea, smacked his lips, and reviewed whether he had missed anything.

Master Di Xian didn't answer, and Master Huai Kong, who was on the side, took half a step forward.

"Four months ago, the Jiang Zongshi said that after finishing the scriptures, he would return to Pingyang. Benefactor Liang does not need to specifically inform us." ===== CHAPTER 965 =====
