"Huh, so tired!" Liang Qu collapsed on the boat, his hands and feet felt weak. Controlling water consumes physical strength. Water leaps are still okay, with the improvement of his strength and favor, one or two hundred meters at a time is no problem, not like the water monkey who was exhausted after a few dozen meters. But the water prison technique is a real beast that consumes physical strength, especially when facing an opponent who is much stronger than himself, it is really a flood that has broken the dam, bursting again and again, and the physical strength tank is emptied in an instant. Luckily, with Wu Gu, Liang Qu's recovery ability is much better than that of ordinary people, otherwise it would be easy to become a fish on the chopping board. Cool, it's taken down without injury again! Panting, Liang Qu took out the kettle and drank a few sips of water, took out a piece of lotus root from the compartment and ate it raw, and took two Qi-recovering pills worth a small merit exchanged in the river, and finally recovered. With a call, the fat catfish floated to the surface, biting the rope in its mouth. In the big net below, the red beast was lying in a state of poisoning and unable to struggle. There was a big hole in its chest. After being taken care of by all the poisons of Awei, this big guy was still full of energy, staring with eyes as big as copper bells, following Liang Qu's body, and his tail could twitch from time to time.
The red beast obviously knew that Liang Qu was the culprit that caused it to fall into such a situation. On the other side, the fist and the round head floated to the surface one after another, dragging "fat" and "cute" respectively. Gathering three major sacrifices within one day, a great harvest! "Let's go back." Liang Qu waved his hand and rushed to Shangrao Pier with the four beasts. There were still a few days before the River God Festival. The three sacrifices were first raised in their own pond, and the old giant clam blocked the hole. Awei regularly injected poison to ensure that there was no risk of error. There was still some distance from the pier when Liang Qu took over the monster from Quan and Yuantou. It was no big secret that he had several water beasts, but that didn't mean he should spread the word and let everyone know. It was better to keep a hand secret, because you never know when it would be useful. The barge was seven meters long, a whole circle larger than the average black-sailed boat, and had a large carrying capacity, but when Liang Qu put "Fatty" and "Lovely" into the cabin, the entire boat suddenly took up more than half of the water. Among the three water beasts, Lanshou was the smallest, less than three meters long, and the Aries-like one was more than four meters long, but it was not light in weight. The red beast was even bigger, more than eleven meters long with its long tail, a real giant beast, and it would sink in a minute if it was put on the boat. He could only let the four beasts take care of the red beast and walk back and forth twice. There were fishermen approaching the pier in groups of three or two, and they were surprised to see the two strange-looking beasts on Liang Qu's boat, but they were not too scared. At first, everyone was afraid to go to the deep water area, wasn't it because of the water monsters? After the Hebo Station was stationed, it has been clearing out monsters. The fishing range of fishermen has been expanded, so they are not so scared when they see one or two monsters. Liang Qu carried one in each hand and walked home, dumping the two beasts into the pond. The old giant clam was waiting at the outlet early in the morning, blocking the only entrance and exit, basking in the sun. The huge movement attracted Xiao Shunzi from next door. He climbed out of the wall, his eyes were wide open, and it was the first time he saw such a big fish.
"Sister A Di!" Liang Qu shouted. "A Shui, what's the matter?" A Di hurried over from the room. "It's nothing serious. I put two fish in the pond. It's a bit dangerous. Shunzi likes to play. Don't let him touch them later." A Di lowered her head and saw the two strange-looking fish in the pond at a glance, and was startled. "It's a nice pond, why do you keep these things?" "I'm not keeping them, they will be the offerings for the river god's festival in two days. Let Shunzi come to play after that." "Okay, okay, be careful. It's so dangerous to go into the water every day. You are the only child in your family." "Don't worry, I'm the reincarnation of the Water Dragon King." Liang Qu patted his chest. "In my opinion, you should find a wife as soon as possible, and continue the family line so that everyone can settle down." "Hey, sister A Di, do you have a way?" "There is no woman in Yixing Town who is suitable for you. Where can I find one for you? In the past, I saw matchmakers coming to the door, but now matchmakers dare not come. If you really want one, you should ask your master's wife to help you find a way." Liang Qu smiled but said nothing. A Di shook her head, knowing that Liang Qu had no wish, and picked up Shunzi and went back to the house. What Liang Qu said was right. Let alone the monsters, even ordinary fish are four or five meters long. If you accidentally bump into them, you will lose half your life. The last one is the red beast. Liang Qu hurried back to the pier and pretended to go out on the boat. The waiter in the teahouse next to the pier was waving his towel in wonder. Going out on the boat again? He looked at the tea drinkers. "Did I remember it wrongly? Didn't Mr. Liang just come back?" "Yes, I saw it too. He brought two water monsters with him. They looked weird." "What is he doing?" "Old Chen, you have seen a lot. Tell me what's going on?" The tea drinker who was named touched his mustache and thought: "I think he is preparing the offerings for the river god festival a few days ago?" "Offerings?"
Everyone was stunned. The tea drinker with a mustache nodded. "Yes, didn't Chen Li Lao say a while ago that we don't need to pay for the river god sacrifice this time? A few wealthy families from other villages will pay for it, and the village elders will invite a troupe to perform water opera. The biggest sacrifice will be Lord Liang. You also saw the two water beasts just now, one looks like a sheep and the other looks like a pig. Don't they just correspond to the three animals?" The eyes of the crowd lit up when they heard it, and some people slapped their thighs. "That's right, that's right, then isn't it missing a cow-like one? Are they going to get a whole cow?" "Great! We hold the River God Festival every year. When has it ever been so glorious? Offering water monsters, other villages will be jealous when they hear about it?" "Who knows, maybe the River God will show up, and we'll be rich!" Splash! A red smudge rose from the water, like the sun falling into the river, and time suddenly came to evening. A trickle flowed into the river along the blocky muscles and scales, and the ferocious and terrifying breath scared the resting seabirds away. The people in the teahouse stood up in horror. The fishermen in the distance did not dare to approach the shore. Some of them were trembling and wanted to escape, but were pulled by the mustache. "Why are you running? It's Master Liang!" "Master Liang?" The red beast slowly surfaced, and below was a tall and strong man. His muscles were as clear and powerful as flowing water, and the serrated muscles on both sides rose and fell with his breathing, and drops of water dripped along the ends of his hair. Compared with the giant beast above his head, Liang Qu was tiny, but he lifted the beast up, which gave people a greater sense of shock! The people on the shore were so shocked that they were speechless. Many people had never seen such a big monster in their lives, let alone such a sharp contrast. Liang Qu was naked on his upper body, carrying the red beast like a mountain and stepped onto the pier. The bluestone slab under his feet could not bear the pressure and cracked inch by inch. He glanced down and took the second step. The stone slab no longer cracked, and he stepped steadily across the teahouse. The red beast turned its pupils and stared at a tea drinker. The tea drinker was so scared that he fell back, knocked off the bench and fell to the ground. "Be careful not to fall!" Liang Qu reminded, "Don't be afraid, sooner or later it will be just an offering to the river god. Everyone will have a share when the fortune is divided!" Divided? Everyone has a share? Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. When offering sacrifices, it is natural to share the offerings. After all, they are three whole pigs, cows and sheep. It would be a waste to throw them away. Of course, they should be shared and eaten together to share the blessings brought by the gods. But in the past, everyone paid for it, so naturally every household could get a share. Now the three offerings were caught by Liang Qu alone, and no one dared to ask for a share.
I never thought that Liang Qu would be willing to do so! Many tea drinkers drooled at once. I have been fishing for a lifetime, but I have never had such a good time. "I heard that a few months ago, a wealthy family in Pingyang County gave out sturgeon meat porridge, and many people ate it. Even people in our village got some. Unfortunately, I didn't taste it. Today I have a treat!" "The water monster in our Yixing Town must be more delicious than the one in Pingyang County!" "Silly, the wealthy family in Pingyang County is Master Liang, you don't even know that, how dare you say that he is from our village?" "Ah? It smells just as good, just as good!" Liang Qu carried the red beast home, and people shouted all the way, stealing the show. The disciples in the two newly opened martial arts halls were not interested in training, and they all came out to watch the fun. "Master, this big fish is so powerful, I wonder what realm it is?" An apprentice looked at the owner in surprise. The owner hesitated for a while. "I'm afraid it has the strength of a big monster." "What is the strength of a big monster?" "A big monster... is equivalent to a wolf smoke martial artist..." "Isn't that better than Master?!" "Yeah." The owner sighed. "Let's go to the River God Festival some other day and join in the fun."
