Chapter 206 Mermaid Tears In the valley of Chaoyang, the god is called Tianwu, the Lord of Water. Light patterns appeared on Ze Dingding's body, and an inexplicable charm spread out. The pain that penetrated deep into his bones spread along his back, as if someone was holding a candle and trying to burn out the fat in Liang Qu's bone marrow bit by bit. Unlike the Yinglong pattern which appears on the upper half of the spine, the Yu pattern is on the lower half of the spine and feels more intense. After a while, the cold sweat dissipated in the water. Liang Qu loosened his teeth and took unsteady steps. When he picked up the Tiger-Devouring-Man Jar again, the aura lingering on it had long since dissipated, and there was no longer that horrifying sight. Something from above was absorbed by Ze Ding, and in return he gained the favor of another water god. Liang Qu knew who Tian Wu was.
Tianwu has eight heads and eight faces, a tiger body, eight legs and eight tails. It is green and yellow in color, spits out clouds and mist, and controls water. However, there was no mention of Yinglong favoring in the previous Yinglong pattern, but this time it was Tianwu who favored it? Why is this so? Is it the difference in quantity? The aura in this Tiger Devouring Man Jar is stronger than that of the two-zhang long fake dragon tendon? Where does the aura come from? The Yinglong pattern gave him an extra top-level physical skill that did not require any training. What was the function of the Yu pattern? [Yu Zun is Wu, spewing mist and riding clouds, number of layers: one] 【Get the favor of the river 】 His eyes turned. The surroundings are changing rapidly, with huge rivers and tides in all directions, wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the distance, and hundreds of thousands of mountains stretching out. Liang Qu looked around blankly, feeling as small as a grain of rice placed on the wilderness. Soon, huge waves surged up, and the surrounding water level rose rapidly, flooding the mountains, rising all the way to the horizon and connecting with the sky. He couldn't float to the surface at all, but soon, wisps of white mist spread from the junction of sky and water. The white mist was like a sharp cone, forcibly splitting the entire world and separating the sky and water again. "The chaos of yin and yang turns into fog... the mist covers the earth..." The wind created waves and the boat swayed gently. The shimmering golden light spreads into the distance. Liangqu stood on the surface of the river. Within a mile radius, thick fog was surging and spreading in all directions. Stepping into the fog, the entire fog seemed to have turned into his eyes, without any obstruction. The flying bird folded its wings, leaving a long scar; the fish leaped out of the water, dispersing a little white mist. After taking two steps, his figure became even lighter. A place that belongs to him alone, which extends from underwater to the junction of land and water.
Yinglong is the wind and Tianwu is the cloud. It is the opposite of "The wind follows the tiger, the clouds follow the dragon" and it becomes "The wind follows the dragon, the clouds follow the tiger". Not only that…… Liang Qu sat cross-legged, activating his golden body, with the dragon and tiger energies entwined. Looking closely, the dragon's body is surrounded by wisps of breeze, while the tiger's body and its family are shrouded in a faint white mist. More powerful than ever! It’s indeed different. The golden body of dragon and tiger will give birth to the dragon and tiger energies, which have the effect of exterminating evil spirits. The moment he obtained the Yu pattern, Liang Qu felt that there was something wrong with the dragon-tiger golden body. Now it seems that the previous Yinglong pattern is also reflected in the dragon and tiger energies. Liang Qu didn’t know whether this was good or bad, but it was probably good. Yinglong and Tianwu are much more powerful than ordinary dragons and tigers. What little devil dares to bump into these two great gods? If you glare at me from eight hundred miles away, you will die! Try water control again. The fog dissipated, and huge waves surged up from all around. The sound of rushing water filled the entire sky and earth, and there was splashing water everywhere. In a trance, the entire lake surface seemed to be lifted up by Liangqu, shaking the lake. Approaching 8,000 tons... From 500 tons to 8,000 tons, a sixteen-fold increase. This is normal. The degree of fusion has doubled, and Liang Qu's own strength has increased several times. Add to that the favor degree of just now, and sixteen times is a normal value. And it only sounds like a lot, the actual volume is just a cube with a length, width and height of about 20 meters. It is not too big, but not too small either. It is about the size of a pond in a wealthy family. Furthermore, water control is of little use for small targets, but it is most effective for large targets. Liang Qu asked Yuantou and Scarhead to carry up the Buddha sculpture they had seen earlier. Unexpectedly, the light underwater was not good, and the originally black Buddha statue became magnificent after being brought to the shore. Golden threads can be seen through the amber texture all over the body, making the whole Buddha statue look more divine. Not knowing what wood it was made of, Liang Qu didn't dare to destroy it rashly. I reached out and touched the back cover, tapped it gently, and it vibrated a little bit, and finally pressed it a little bit to peel off the entire back cover. No water flowed out.
Liang Qu breathed a sigh of relief. No water flowed out, proving that after so many years, the room had not been soaked in water. If it was a scripture, it was most likely well preserved. He laid the Buddha sculpture flat and, in the sunlight, saw clearly that there was a closed scroll inside. Take the scroll out and unfold it a little. The writing on it is clear and the paper surface is smooth. Perhaps because it is isolated from the air, the paper pages have never turned yellow. After reading it word by word, Liang Qu closed his eyes in disappointment. Damn, it’s just an ordinary scripture. It is not a secret manual, nor is it a martial art. It is simply a Buddhist scripture that teaches profound principles. It's useless for ordinary people. Good things won't all fall on one person's head. If you give them to the old monk instead, he might like it. Liang Qu rolled up the scroll, stuffed it into his back, and covered the back panel again. This trip was huge. The Jianghuai wetlands are truly full of treasures, and there are very few competitors for development. A small group of finless porpoises can collect so many good things. I dare not imagine what the scenery is like over there on the toad's side. "Roundhead, Ah Fei, you stay and help Scarhead and the others move to the area near the lotus root waters." Liang Qu left an order and drove the boat back to Shangrao. He then put the Buddha statue and the tiger-eating man jar in a sack of linen and hurried home. The old monk happened to be at home. "Master, I found something good!" Liang Qu moved a table from the hall and spread out the linen that wrapped the Buddha statue in the courtyard where the light was better. The old monk stared at the Buddha statue, observing the golden texture on it. "Mingmugen?" "The root of the dark wood?" Liang Qu lowered his head. "What is the material of the Buddha statue?" The old monk nodded. "The value of the dark wood is higher than gold, and it is amber in color. The roots of the dark wood are several times thicker than gold, and they have golden lines. When you stand next to it, do you feel peaceful and calm?" "Have." "That's right, the Dark Wood can calm people's hearts, promote thinking, and open their wisdom and enlightenment. A wooden pendant, only the size of an index finger, can be carved into a piece. If a child wears it all year round, he will be smarter than other children. Even if he is a warrior, it can help him become enlightened. The effect of the root of the dark wood is several times that of the dark wood." Liang Qu's eyes flashed. He didn't expect that the Buddha statue itself was a treasure.
No, if it is so valuable, the scroll behind it should also be extraordinary. "Where did you find such a huge root of the Darkwood?" "I fished it out of the water. I don't know how long it has been soaking there. There is no algae growing on it. There is something hidden on the back, a bundle of scrolls. I thought the master might be interested, so I brought it back." "Would you mind letting me have a look?" "Take a look at it, and if you like it, give it to the master." After hearing about the value of the dark wood, Liang Qu carefully opened the cover and took out the scroll. The value of the scriptures behind it is certainly not low, but it also depends on the person. For example, the first draft of the Diamond Sutra is a treasure of Buddhism, but for Liang Qu, the only way to realize its value is to sell it to a monk. What the old monk wanted to give was that the value of the "Vajra Sutra Subduing Dragons and Tigers" itself was definitely higher than this scripture. Holding the scroll, the old monk slowly unfolded it and observed it. The sun shone down obliquely, shining through the scroll, and the black words formed shadows, which were reflected diagonally on the table. Liang Qu watched with his own eyes as the old monk's brows furrowed little by little. A first time ever! "What did the Master see?" "I can't say for sure. I need to study it further." The old monk shook his head. "Then Master, you can take it back home and take a look at it slowly." The old monk nodded, took the scroll and went back to the house. Liang Qu moved the wooden statue into the room, and took the bead that looked like a mermaid's tear and ran to find the old giant clam. He walked forward, patted the old giant clam's big shell, and handed over the beads. "Old Bei, you come from the sea and you are well-informed. Do you know what this is?" "Hey, are these mermaid tears? How did you get them?" "These are really mermaid tears." Liang Qu was twisting the small beads, and he didn't expect that what he found was actually the mermaid's tears. "Aren't mermaids found in the sea? How come there are also some in the Jianghuai Lake?" "When I first arrived, there were still mermaid tribes in the Jianghuai marshes, and their fabrics were quite popular. After the true dragon passed away, the mermaid tribes also migrated away. Your mermaid tears should be a relic of that time." (End of this chapter)
