Desire Injures the Body

With a flick of his fingertips, Su Guishan shattered the entire letter into powder, which drifted down into the calamus bonsai on the antique shelf.

The fresh, moist black soil is covered with a thin layer of grayish-white powder, which, along with the moisture, quickly blends together.

Their gazes turned toward them.

Liang Qu's face tightened, and he wisely took his leave.

A clash between Grandmaster —it's too much to handle.

pond.

The weather has been gloomy and rainy for days.

The Old Turtle ran off to swim Great Marsh in the vast marshland, Ta Ta Kai a pose and practiced its Stance Training diligently in the rain.

The Great Beaver sat crouching under the eaves, propping its head up with its paws, looking distressed at a pile of oddly shaped wooden blocks.

The long hair on its head stood up.

There seem to be some problems in the actual construction of the modular Ship Model, which has slowed down the production progress.

Fat Catfish half-peeked out of the pond, its two whiskers pointing and gesturing.

The Great Beaver sighed and shook its head.

The Fat Catfish nibbled at its whiskers and joined the ranks of those deep in thought.

The Lotus Leaf swayed gently.

While his kinsman Wu Cangshou was away, Liang Qu dug up the silt in the lower reaches of the canal, unearthed the Mystic Tortoise Shell that could be used to divine good or bad fortune, and then went to the kitchen to bake it.

This was a bonus that the Old Toad received as part of his first "real estate investment."

To be honest, there's something to it about this.

In April, the technique was used once in Fragrant Township County to slay a giant snake. However, the old Daoist priest, who was not skilled enough, divined a "very ominous" outcome and still wanted to buy it, but Liang Qu refused to sell it.

After bringing it back, it was buried for a long time, and the water veins nourished and repaired it, so there are no cracks at all.

Light the firewood.

A sizzling sound as it roasted.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Several cracks appeared along the center of the tortoise shell.

"Odd number, bad luck? Hmm... good luck?"

Liang Qu used fire tongs to pick out the black tortoise Mystic Tortoise Shell, observed it for a long time, and was shocked to realize that he had been assimilated and misled by the Old Toad.

This thing seems to require specialized study, specifically interpreting hexagrams.

Liang Qu summoned Long Binglin and Long E Ying.

The three of them squatted in front of the wood-fired stove, looking at each other from top to bottom.

Crack!

The firewood exploded, sending sparks flying.

The orange light made people's faces look orange-red.

Long Binglin looked at Long E Ying.

Long E Ying brushed aside a strand of hair from her temple and hesitated, saying, "My lord, I studied human divination methods under Elder Zong Yin for a period of time and have some knowledge of interpreting divination..."

"Come, come, let me solve this!"

Liang Qu was overjoyed. He decided to try his luck, and even if it didn't work out, he would still try his luck. Unexpectedly, he actually made a harvest, and he stuffed the Mystic Tortoise Shell into Long E Ying's hands.

After a while.

Long E Ying gently stroked the cracks in the tortoise shell with her fingertips.

"The hexagram should be interpreted as 'Dragging its wheels, wetting its tail, no blame.'"

"No blame? That means it's auspicious?"

Long E Ying nodded. "It means that if you follow the proper steps and don't rush things, you will succeed. This is an auspicious omen."

"Okay!"

Liang Qu's tense heart relaxed a little.

He was divining not only about the deception and killing of the Snake Demon a few days later, but also about Su Guishan's ambush of the Ghost Mother Sect, seeking a divination for all of them.

The result was clearly good and pleasing.

"Once the Snake Demon matter is settled, I will begin searching for the Long Qi medium to lend you a hand!"

"Thank you, sir!"

For the next three days.

Liang Qu rarely left his home, practicing semi-seclusion, yet he still managed to learn about the tremendous changes in Pingyang Prefecture from Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li during his daily meals.

Faced with the arrival of the Martial Saint, the entire Pingyang Prefecture, from top to bottom, unleashed an unprecedented "self-cleaning" efficiency.

First and foremost, all the roads from Yi Xing Town to the prefectural city were completely renovated and repaired. The original mud roads were paved with stones. In some larger towns, craftsmen selected sites and worked diligently to build Drum Tower.

The night soil carriers had to make three trips a day to prevent the stench from spreading and colliding with vehicles.

As for the River Conservancy Office, officials in black uniforms ran all over the streets, leading people to clean the sewers, dredge the silt, and salvage.

In areas without River Conservancy Office, the drainage systems of towns and villages are under the jurisdiction of the street administration department and are part of the city defense.

Where there are River Conservancy Office, they are all included under the River Conservancy Office and belong to water conservancy.

Even the frequency of the soldiers patrolling the streets has tripled compared to usual, and wherever they go, people live in peace and prosperity.

Now, not only in Yi Xing Town, but also in several surrounding large towns, hooligans and thugs will have to keep a low profile.

The common people didn't know what was happening, let alone that a very important person was coming, but all the changes were positive and definitely a good thing.

Quiet Room.

The two jade bottles were empty, and several Treasure Box were half-open.

"Call."

He exhaled a long, leisurely Long Qi.

"The Diaphragm Meridian and the heel meridian are formed!"

Liang Qu Inner Vision and examined himself.

Within the body, the fourth and fifth minor meridians shone brightly, connecting together into the grand circulation of the meridians.

Three major meridians and five minor meridians circulate Qi and Blood and qi endlessly, forming the shape of a bridge.

There are still three bottles of the Vein Marrow Jade Liquid, which is more than enough to condense one more small meridian. With three large and six small ones, it is sufficient to initially establish the bridge.

A breakthrough in April, a bridge built in June, leaving everyone else in the dust! There's no other way.

Resources are too abundant.

Liang Qu felt as if he had suddenly entered a fast lane, with a series of people and demons giving him treasures.

We can't refuse to accept it.

I'm getting impatient with you.

Calming his mind, Liang Qu sat in meditation to recover his energy and gather the fluctuations in his Qi and Blood brought about by the breakthrough.

Long Li pushed open the door and came in to replace the incense burner. Seeing that Liang Qu had opened his eyes, he whispered.

"Sir, River Warden Chen came by half an hour ago and said that the River Conservancy Office will have a collective action at 1:15 AM tomorrow morning, and no one is allowed to be absent."

Liang Qu's eyes flashed.

"Thank you for your help."

Long Li bowed and took her leave without a trace of wind.

"Okay, let's wait."

Liang Qu looked out the window at the hazy dark clouds.

The long-awaited Marquis Weining has finally found a home.

The second meeting between the White Ape and the Snake Demon needs to be arranged! Communicate with Ze Cauldron.

[Cauldron Master: Liang Qu]

[Refine Marsh Spirit: Marsh Ape (Deep Blue)]

[Marsh Spirit's Favor: Martial Dao Divinity Second Level (River Master Emperor); Ying Long Mark: Level 1; Tian Wu: Level 1]

[Water Essence: 56,014 points]

Visually assess the Marsh Essence.

Treasure Lotus ate a lot of Lotus Seeds, which replenished all the essence that had been used up by the evolving Mirage Worm.

Before taking any action, you should first give the "Cannot Move" character a boost with the "Divine Wood Revival" skill. This skill is essential for sustaining your character and ensuring your survival, and it will undoubtedly increase your margin for error.

evening.

A light drizzle was falling.

A man in a straw raincoat sails on Great Marsh.

"Tomorrow morning at Chenshi..."

Scarlet Scale silently repeated the time and place twice, memorizing them firmly.

"Does Your Excellency know what important events have occurred recently? I have seen the people on land repairing bridges and roads, and they are quite busy."

Liang Qu pointed his index finger at his straw hat and glanced down at the crowd. "This is none of your business. An inspector is coming. Take down the White Ape as soon as possible and don't let it cause me any trouble. That's your priority!"

After speaking...

The small boat departed.

The Scarlet Scale stared for a long time before disappearing underwater.

Success or failure.

This is the moment! The next day.

The weather was gloomy, the dark gray Great Marsh surged, and a strong wind was blowing.

Xiang Fangsu Ke Wenbin, dressed neatly, joined the noisy crowd.

Ran Zhongshi counted the number of people and found one was missing. He looked around.

"Where's A Shui? Why didn't A Shui come? Xiang Fangsu, Ke Wenbin, have you two seen him?"

The two shook their heads.

"This kid, did he oversleep?" Xiang Fangsu rubbed his chin. "When I saw him before, I felt his Qi and Blood were unstable. Could it be that he was too young and couldn't control himself because it was his first time meeting the Dragon Girl? Sigh, lust is harmful to the body!"

"Dragon Girl?" Ke Wenbin perked up his ears. "What Dragon Girl? Tell me more."

"Alright, don't worry about him." Xu Yuelong finished dressing in his official robes and stepped out of the study. "Someone has asked for leave for him."

"Ask for leave?"

Ran Zhongshi and his group were all stunned.

no.

Do I need to ask for leave to meet the Martial Saint?

What happened? Did someone beat you so badly you can't get out of bed?

"Let's get on the ship!"

Xu Yuelong offered no explanation, and the others, not wanting to ask further, boarded the ship one after another.

The large ship, carrying a group of officials, moved due north.

Great Marsh.

The four Snake Demon faced northeast, just out of the way of the large ship.
