Chapter 971: Only One Line Away

"Li Yuan, add more fire!"

"Coming!"

Boom!

The bamboo basket and fire stones were thrown into the melting furnace, and the young man with his upper body bare was sweating profusely.

Liang Qu patted the young man's arm as he hammered the iron: "Not bad, much stronger. How many years have you been an apprentice in the shop? Can you forge a hundred-refined weapon today?"

"Ha, almost seven years. Liang Ye, don't underestimate me. In March this year, I used one hundred pieces of black iron to fold and forge one hundred and sixty-seven times!"

"Yo, not bad."

Li Yuan, the former apprentice and now a small master in the forging shop, grinned: "All taught well by Master Lu."

"What are you chatting about, don't stop!" Lu Gang shouted.

"Coming." Li Yuan moved to get busy.

Outside the courtyard, the fat catfish opened its hands, lay on the ground, stared with one round eyeball into the window, saw the molten iron, patted the ground with its tail, and was full of joy.

Liang Qu laughed, stepped out of the small door.

June was scorching hot, but coming out of the forging room, there was a bit of "coolness."

"A-Fei, looked for half an hour, decided yet, what weapon to forge?"

The fat catfish nodded repeatedly, two long whiskers flicked, picked up the small book in its hand, flipped to the middle page, stood up, held its hands in a virtual grip, one hand on top of the sky, one hand on the waist, majestic.

Look at the page again.

Two dragon-patterned war hammers.

The handle was short, the hammer head was large, and the key was that the hammer body was covered with coral holes of different sizes.

"Vortex Tide Hammer?" Liang Qu read ten lines at a glance. "Black Obsidian Coral, Black Whale Bone, Ho, not cheap—"

"Don't worry about the materials. Sea merchants are often stationed here. I will take action if there are good materials. I hoarded some last year. Everyone said, let's pool them together, it's enough." Lu Gang wiped his sweat and came to the courtyard.

"Everyone—is it Cao Shixiong and Senior Sister?"

"Dream Meng Meng Bai Huo can't be watched for nothing."

Liang Qu didn't bother to calculate gains and losses. He could earn, knew how to earn, and calculating with his own people was a waste of energy. Saving money and such, just leave it to his wife.

"Cao Shixiong, what do you think of this hammer?"

"Quite good. Underwater hammers are not as good as spears and halberds, but the honeycomb holes can reduce water resistance, and the hammer body is hollow, which can embed an extra resonance core to form a resonance cavity, upgrading it into a better spiritual weapon. When the double hammers touch, they send out shock waves, which can be used for blocking, killing, and avoiding. You can also stuff fluorescent jellyfish sacs inside, and one hammer will emit a flash."

It sounds really good.

"A-Fei, sure you want this? Can't change it once chosen."

The fat catfish nodded vigorously, its tail supported the ground, turned a circle, waved its hands, and struck another handsome pose.

Want big!

Want handsome!

Want fierce!

Pillar!

Support!

Looking at the head and belly alone, it's really exactly the same as the Frog clan—

Wide and fat, suitable for grabbing big hammers.

"That's fine." Liang Qu respected the water beast's choice. "Cao Shixiong, forge this for it."

Lu Gang made a mark on the page and pasted the size: "The hammer is too big, and the armor is not easy to build together. It will probably take two or three months. You still have a few behind, river otters, crabs, crocodiles, it will take at least a year to set them all up."

"It's okay. If you lack money for materials, just go to the Martial Academy to support. A slip is not a loan. The armor for the crab and the fist is just a decoration. The main thing is the round head and a few weapons."

The crab has scales, the fist has hard armor, none of them need armor. The fist doesn't even want a weapon, just a fur skirt.

Grasp with both hands, both hands hard.

Water and land blooming together!

People can't divide their bodies, so they need power. When they arrive at the Great Snow Mountain, a few demon beasts stand on the official road.

Face!

"Good!"

Lu Gang made a record seriously and returned to the forging room to work.

More than ten people performed their duties.

Boom!

The iron hammer fell, sparks shot out infinitely, like a gorgeous tree blooming on the anvil, and the sparks hitting the ceiling scattered, forming a tree crown.

Midnight.

Everything was silent, and the beaver family slept soundly.

The plum rain season was rarely sunny, and fireflies the size of mung beans spun in the shrubs.

"Phew."

Soaking in the water pool, Liang Qu let out a long breath.

The journey was tiring, choosing armor and cultivation techniques for the fat catfish, Fourth Cao Shixiong Xu Zishuai bled heavily again, and after the treat, he went to Mermaid Island to watch a film. After a series of things, he was truly a bit tired.

"Can't stop, River God Festival, Dream Meng Meng Bai Huo—"

Creak.

The door axle turned, Liang Qu tilted his head back.

The world spun.

Long Eying's long hair scattered, wrapped in a single white bath towel, bent down to hang up Liang Qu's clothes scattered on the ground, socks and underwear were classified and put into the bamboo basket.

The silk bath towel was tied very tightly, making the hip curve particularly prominent, a beautiful peach heart shape. When bending down, one could see the white and greasy fullness squeezed out above the bath towel.

Clean and smooth, mutton-fat jade.

His head was originally tilted back, blood surged up, dizzy.

Looking inside his body again, a pale gold seed floated, a star-light raised in nearly two months!

Wuhu!

Plop!

Small wooden house by the pond.

The beaver turned over irritably, kicked its brother away, and covered its ears.

What an annoying mosquito.

Checking in, the merit application report for inviting the Great Master back, approving the report, giving rewards, checking the water situation in the plum rain season, arranging Dream Meng Meng Bai Huo, Pingyang Temple on Pingyang Mountain, Tiger Cave, and the Great Alliance against the Flood Dragon after returning, Liang Qu had no free time.

While accompanying the Cao Shixiong to review the changes in Pingyang Prefecture, the most important thing was naturally the annual big festival in Yixing Town, the fixed scene for obtaining favor—the River God Festival!

"Village Chen Xianglao wants to resign?"

Liang Qu, who was refreshed, sat in the hall and exclaimed.

Chen Zhaoan supported his cane, lifted his breath, and age spots spread along his dry, thin cheeks.

"This old man is seventy-nine this year. As the saying goes, sixty is the cycle of the sexagenary, and seventy is a rare age. Once the eleventh month passes, I'll be eighty in full, truly an age of senility. My legs and feet are increasingly inconvenient, and my eyes and ears are failing; I'm not what I once was."

Yixing Town has more and more people, none of whom understand the customs. Two years ago, I felt my heart and strength were not enough, but I just wanted to have a beginning and an end, so I persisted until today. This year is still satisfactory, next year—"

"Alas—it's also hard for Village Chen Xianglao."

Liang Qu sighed.

Daily trivial matters seem unimportant, but they actually consume a lot of people's energy. Every year at the River God Festival, Liang Qu only provides offerings, and on the day he goes on stage, Chen Zhaoan can arrange everything properly. His ability is obviously good.

Helpless, age has come up, there is no way.

"When is the birthday?"

"It's August 3rd."

"If I have time, I will definitely attend the banquet."

Chen Zhaoan's face turned red, he leaned on his cane, and bowed.

The Xu family's birthday banquet was ninety, eighty-nine passed, eighty didn't have this taboo. Reasonably and emotionally, Liang Qu should forge a yellow pear wood cane.

"After this year, who does the village elder think is suitable to organize the festival?"

"Lin Songbao." Chen Zhaoan had a draft early. "Personally, I want my eldest son to do it, but my eldest son is proficient in eating, drinking, and gambling, and is not up to the task. My grandson went out to make a living. Although Lin Songbao is young, he can take care of everything, knows the local customs well, and let him pay more attention this year, handle it with me once, and recognize the big families. He won't be worse than the old man."

Details finalized.

River God Festival as usual.

Inside the Jianghuai Ze wild, the fat catfish received the order and took on the heavy responsibility again.

Central Court Great Huai Army.

The fat catfish looked around, the demon monsters avoiding it were trembling,

Strange.

The fat vanguard's fish fate has always been excellent. Seeing it today, why do they always feel a chill on their backs, as if a poisonous snake is swimming by?

Shook for another three days.

In the canyon where the Heavenly Water Morning Dew was dug in the past, Liang Qu ignited his golden eyes and observed the canyon's trend with the Heavenly Pass and Earth Axis method, preparing to produce a "design drawing" first.

"What, it accumulated so fast?"

Within the field of vision, invisible Qi flowed.

The entire canyon was azure, and there was a posture of rising long Qi again, like a water circle overflowing from a teacup, just missing a needle prick to break it, and it would pour out.

And look at the sky, "clouds and mist" flowed down.

Liang Qu's brows gradually tightened.

"Heaven and earth anomaly?"

"Is it the Cloud Immortal Island again?" ===== CHAPTER 972 =====

"The Immortal Island above the clouds again?"
