Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 103: Paper Money, Ingots, Incense, Silver, River Monsters Fight for the First Incense

When Qu Yuan, the spiritual officer of water, walked, fog and waves arose. Suddenly, the Jing River, which stretched for thousands of miles, was covered in white, with waves rushing and the water surging.

The ancestral spirits who had passed away by the water had long been taken back home by their relatives and enshrined on the spirit tablets. At this time, the Jing River surged again.

The mortals who had not yet left, holding oil-paper umbrellas, left with their families.

After the mortals left, the vast Jing River was handed over to the river monsters.

As the water official Qu Yuan shouted "Open the river", the paper money and gold ingots floating on the water were immediately covered by the smoke from the burning incense sticks and candles mixed with the wind.

Soon, the paper money and ingots began to transform from pale paper to bright silver.
The paper money was piled up in the smoke and incense, and turned into silver ingots, or transformed individually into silver cakes, and the ingots were directly transformed into silver ingots.

Since the incense silver transforms by itself, the process is very slow. If the incense messengers from various water palaces were recruited, the process would definitely be shortened a lot. However, since each family is wary of each other, it has become a custom that during the annual Jinghe River Festival, the incense is allowed to transform into incense silver naturally without human intervention.

The bright silver silver cakes and silver ingots faintly exuded the scent of incense. The Palace Master Yuan Datou took a deep breath, his expression intoxicated.

Other river monsters or palace masters are the same as Yuan Datou.

"Brothers, wait until all the paper money and paper ingots are transformed into incense silver, then you can start looting."

"Remember, grab the big ones first, then the small ones. Especially this year's first incense ingot, one is worth 100,000 taels of incense silver. Make sure to grab it for this palace master."

"Whether I can achieve the status of a seventh-grade god this year depends on you brothers!"

"please!"

The Palace Master Yuan Datou faced Liu Qing and the other ten demons and bowed solemnly, while Madam Yu also lifted her skirt and squatted, following suit.

A muffled thunder roared across the surface of the Jing River. Suddenly, the wind and rain began to swirl rapidly. In the vortex, a nine-foot-nine-inch incense stick suddenly appeared.

Under the incense stick, countless paper money and gold ingots gathered on the rotating water surface and piled up quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the paper money and the gold ingots merged together to form a huge silver winter melon.

Mansion Master Yuan Haowen's breathing suddenly became rapid.

The other palace masters also stared at the silver winter melon with greedy expressions.

During the Qingming Festival in Jinghe River, the silver for the first incense appeared.

In a flash, all the river monsters, big and small, and the old monster in the palace all looked at Qu Yuan, the water spirit officer.

The Water Spirit Officer Qu Yuan waved his hand impatiently: "Alas, go grab it!——"

None of the demons cared about the contempt and mockery in Qu Yuan's words. They all gathered their demonic energy and quickly moved their fish tails, snake tails, shrimp tails, or crab tails, and swam madly towards the silver incense stick.

With a playful smile on his face, Qu Yuan, the Water Officer, raised the water of the Jing River with a wave of his hand, transforming it into a chair with an official hat. He sat upright on it, as if watching vicious dogs fighting over food. "Don't hold back! Instead of fighting, it's better to kill your opponent!"

General Tiao had participated in several Jinghe River Festivals and had revealed his true form as a crocodile early on. While swinging his tail and running fast, he instructed Liu Qing and the two newcomers to guard the pufferfish.

Liu Qing, the pufferfish garrison, heard this and nodded, his eyes filled with murderous intent. At the same time, the other river monsters from the other water palaces who were competing for the incense offerings did the same.
Soon, a total of 160 river monsters from the 16 water palaces who came to steal the incense stopped a hundred feet away from the winter melon silver under the incense stick, and then formed a circle and stared at each other.

The crocodile eyes on both sides of the head of the turtle general were implicitly sending signals to the four leading eels, black carp, crocodile fish and grass carp monsters in Fulong Lake, Shilang Lake, Nanshan Lake and Ankang Lake on the left and right.

The next moment, General Gao and five other powerful demons in the Soul Refining Return Realm jumped up and pounced on the seven forces of Jinghe River opposite them.

The crocodile opened its mouth, and its fangs like steel hooks pierced the body of a fighting fish. The crocodile swung its tail violently, smashing a half-meter-long goldfish river monster into the air.

The big black carp monster from Shilang Lake and the big grass carp monster from Ankang Lake jumped out of the water together and immediately fell into the monster group of Lingjia River. They swung their tails wildly and butted their heads against the less powerful ling carp river monsters, causing their scales to break and their tendons and bones to fracture.

The eel in Fulong Lake also swung its tail wildly, using its inherent winding movements to butt against the Baijia silver carp river monster beside it.
The most effective killer is the Geyu monster in Nanshan Lake. This monster has three thorns on its body, which are extremely poisonous.

He rushed into the group of King Elaphe snakes of the Wang family, using his venomous stings as spears to pick up the ten-foot-long King Elaphe snakes and pierce their bodies.
Even though the king cobra was naturally resistant to poison, the deadly poison from the thorns of the great fish monster still penetrated its body, and its core drooped. Its colorful scales turned black, and it died instantly.

The Five Lakes and River Monsters formed an alliance and took the lead in launching an attack. The big monster led by them rushed into the other monster group and killed a group of weaker river monsters in advance, hoping to catch the Qing soldiers.
Unfortunately, this is the plan of our Five Lakes faction, and the other seven forces of Jinghe also have the same plan.

The Yuan family's water ape jumped several feet into the water and landed directly in the group of river monsters in Shilang Lake. The water ape danced with its claws left and right, grabbing a group of blue-black river monsters. With a powerful tear of its claws, it instantly tore a river monster in the late stage of refining essence into qi into two halves.

The Dou family's fighting fish monster, the moment the Ge fish monster moved out, pounced on it and headed straight for Nanshan Lake.

Betta fish are small underwater fish that usually eat the leftovers of big fish, as well as small fish and shrimps.
Who would have thought that the fighting fish got a chance to transform into a monster and become so powerful that it could be so ferocious and aggressive. Even when faced with the extremely poisonous bites of a group of fish,

It was not afraid at all. It opened its big mouth full of serrated fangs, swung its tail quickly, and moved across the water. In a flash, it arrived and bit the Geyu River monsters to death before they could react, and then devoured their flesh and blood.

A giant king snake monster, about three or four feet long, with a body as thick as a water tank and covered with colorful patterns, snaked its body into the group of monsters in the Dayawan Lake Water Palace.

Its tail curled back and whipped the little troll that was coming towards it head-on. There were countless crackling sounds inside the little troll's body, as if many bones were broken, and it spat out blood from its mouth.

Then, the snake twisted its body again, bursting out with a strong demonic power, breaking free from the willow branches that bound it.
Then his dim vertical pupils looked at Liu Qing coldly.

The King Elaphe, also known as the Rape Snake, is the natural enemy of all snakes. Even after it turned into a demon, the greed for Liu Qing in the snake blood in its body did not diminish in the slightest.

It spit out the snake core, raised its head high, and drooled from the corner of its mouth: "Good snake, you are so delicious. Don't move, let me swallow you in one bite!"

The great king cobra demon, who was at the initial stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, revealed his true form, raised his snake head and suddenly jumped out, biting straight towards Liu Qing.

Liu Qing's snake body twisted and turned, dodging left and right repeatedly, but the difference in Taoism and speed made it impossible for him to escape from the mouth of the King Elaphe.
Just as the King Elaphe predicted the direction Liu Qing would dodge and was about to swallow him whole, he suddenly heard Liu Qing shout, "Master, wait a minute!——"
