Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 127 The River Sacrifice ends, leaving behind troubles. Who will take over after the Palace Master becomes a god?

Liu Qing came out of Lingbao Dragon Palace, and Hong Gu turned around and swam into Jinghe Dragon Palace, saying that she wanted to clean up a villa with the snail girl Xiao Ya to use as a shelter.

After coming out of the East China Sea, Xiao Ya packed up almost the entire Longyu Zhai, just enough to use it to decorate the Dragon Palace Villa.

Even before Choushe'er proposed, she was already busy decorating the wedding room. When she thought of this, Hong Gu felt shy, but when she thought of how they would get along in the future, she couldn't help but feel sweet.

Regardless of his daughter's thoughts, Liu Qing opened his mouth and swallowed the Lingbao Dragon Palace into the space of his mouth sac. He followed the algae at the bottom of the river and dived towards the direction of the monsters in Dayawan Lake.

After washing the Lingbao Dragon Palace clean, Liu Qing poured clean river water into it. With water in the Lingbao, Hong Gu, Tianluo Xiaoya, and the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast could live there without being discovered by others.

In fact, it doesn't matter if it is discovered. Now, looking at the entire Jinghe River, which river monster dares to act presumptuously in front of Hong Gu?

But Hong Gu didn't want to cause any trouble, nor did she want to see the river monster outside. She didn't want to follow the rules and regulations that "monsters are different from mortals, and gods are different from monsters", so she hid in the Dragon Palace and never came out again.

Liu Qing was initially skeptical, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the saying "Demons are different from mortals, and gods are different from demons" made some sense.

After becoming a demon, when facing the creatures in the water, they can't help but look at them with the eyes of a superior to show off themselves.

It's not that they become arrogant after becoming monsters, but the difference in status, position, and even the essence of life makes it difficult for them to get along with each other.
Haven't you seen that after becoming the Lord of Dayan Lake, the Palace Master Yuan Datou built his nest inside the Water Eye Spirit Cave, separate from the fish, shrimp, turtles and crabs in the water outside? I think it's the same reason.
By analogy, the way the gods look at monsters is just like the way monsters look at the creatures in the water. The essence of life has once again leaped, causing them to no longer have contact with wild monsters, and to live in the realm of gods for a long time. All their interactions are as sacred as theirs.

Just like in the human world, a county town is divided into areas of power and nobility, wealthy families, and poor peasants. It’s simply because their paths are different.

Liu Qing was silent. No wonder they said he had become a god. But since he turned into a demon, he had traveled thousands of miles along the water veins and had never seen a divine being. So this was the reason.

Hong Gu was able to be with him regardless of his status as a powerful god, firstly because the feelings between them had already transcended the distinction between gods and demons.

Secondly, it is because her power is in line with the Tao and she is relatively free, unlike the incense god who is subject to many restrictions and influences.

Stealthily moving towards the northwest, Liu Qing emerged from the water just as he reached the pass of Jing River and Luanshitan. He saw Grandpa Eel and Little Crocodile's anxious eyes searching for him from afar, so he went to meet them.

"Brother Liu Qing, is it really you? Haha, haha, I thought, I thought..."

The little crocodile seemed rude, but he was the most sentimental one. When he saw Liu Qing from a distance, he came over with a big laugh. As he was talking and laughing, he didn't realize that his voice was choked up.

Liu Qing had saved its life several times, and it had long regarded Liu Qing as its half-brother. It had thought that Liu Qing had sacrificed his life to save them, but it had never expected that Liu Qing had returned safely, and it was so happy that it burst into tears.

The other eel masters, the four short men, the duckweed banshee, General Qinghua and other river monsters also gathered around with excited expressions.

The injuries of the Duckweed Banshee and General Qinghua had mostly recovered. Now that they were back to their full strength, they pushed aside the eel king and the little troll dragon. The two women touched Liu Qing all over and examined him thoroughly. Only after they were sure that Liu Qing was fine did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're alright. Brother Liu Qing, you risked your life to save us. We will always remember your kindness."

All the monsters bowed in thanks. The palace master Yuan Datou and Madam Yu looked on with a smile. Although they did not come forward, their faces were filled with admiration.
Liu Qing is very capable, his Taoism is improving rapidly, and he can risk his life to save his companions in times of danger. This move instantly makes the other river monsters grateful. In this way, he holds the benefits of salt goods and is admired by the monsters. He is indeed the most suitable successor to the Dawan Lake Water Palace.
Of course, if Liu Qing wants to be the successor, he needs to wait until he achieves divine status and leaves.

When the Palace Master Yuan Datou thought of this, he became nervous. His pair of green turtle eyes looked at Liu Qing nervously.
Liu Qing nodded solemnly.

Suddenly, green light shot out from the eyes of Palace Master Yuan Datou. He staggered and lost his balance due to the huge surprise.

Mrs. Yu hurriedly supported Yuan Datou, and her eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at Liu Qing.

Liu Qing quickly signaled with his eyes to calm the mansion master and his wife and not to show any abnormality, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
The mansion master and his wife immediately understood, took a deep breath, and calmed their excitement.

Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, he could not help but feel excited. Brother Liu Qing lived up to his trust and grabbed the first silver.
A single incense stick cost a hundred thousand taels, and together with the couple's savings of several hundred years, they finally managed to collect a million taels of silver for incense offerings.
Millions of silver from incense offerings will be transformed into a ladder to become a god, and one will be able to become a seventh-grade god in one fell swoop.

After hundreds of years of hard training, I'm finally going to become a god. Haha, haha, I, Yuan Datou, a mere grass tortoise, the lowest of followers, will also have my day as a god. Yuan Datou tightly grasped Madam Yu's hand, suppressing the excitement in his heart. The couple couldn't help but look at each other, and they could see the excitement in each other's eyes.

Eel Grandpa was the most mature. Seeing that the Palace Master was about to lose his patience, he coughed a few times and said, "Master, the Water Spirit Officer has already left and announced the end of this year's Qingming River Festival. Now that Brother Liu Qing has returned safely, is it time for us to return to Dayan Lake?"

Let’s go. If we don’t leave now, the masters of the water veins will find out and will surely come to snatch it away.

The seven families of Jinghe River, the lords of the four rivers and five lakes, and the river monsters they sent to participate in the river sacrifice were almost completely lost. Although the eel masters came out and explained that it was because the Jinghe River Dragon Palace hid a terrible residual soul dragon evil,
This explanation is also supported by other escaped river monsters, but their own monster died while Dawan Lake was still intact, so they were jealous and had been unhappy for a long time.

If they find out that Liu Qing secretly snatched the first incense stick and that he could help the Palace Master become a god, they will certainly surround and fight for it regardless of their status. By then, Dayawan Lake will be in trouble.

The palace lord, Yuan Datou, nodded repeatedly, slapped his bald forehead, and his face changed color instantly. With a gray and dejected look, he left Jinghe with a sigh.

The palace lords of other forces, who had originally been staring intently, slowly retracted their intense gazes under the role played by Palace Lord Yuan Datou.

The oppressive atmosphere dissipated instantly.

The various water vein forces left in silence, all with unhappy expressions. They were guessing in their hearts that when the water in the Jing River was muddy just now,
The Water Spirit Officer went to the bottom of the river. I guess all the incense produced during the Qingming Festival this year was taken away by him.

When the incense god sees the incense silver, it is like a fly seeing rotten meat, how can he let it go?
Old man, I thought you just disliked the river monsters from our Qin land, but I never thought you would lose face and even snatch our incense money.

Bah, we’ve taken note of this. Let’s see if the people in Qin will eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival in the future!

We won’t eat rice dumplings or row dragon boats, and we in Qin won’t offer incense to you, the Water God, during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Compared with the resentment and secret curses of the seven forces in Jinghe, the four forces in Malianhe, Liupanhe, Honghe and Heihe were even more swearing and cursing in their hearts.
When the Dragon King of the Wei River was beheaded, the Heavenly Court ordered the Water Spirit Officer Qu Yuan to take over the river sacrifice.
He used his divine power to secretly subdue the lords of the Four Rivers Alliance and forced them to betray the Five Lakes River Monster. He thought that this move would make the subsequent river sacrifice more abrupt and brutal, and vent his anger towards Qin.

Facts also proved the actions of the Water Spirit Officer Qu Yuan. Because the Four Rivers stabbed their ally, the Five Lakes River Monsters, causing the Five Lakes River Monsters to fall into danger. If it were not for Liu Qing's backing, I am afraid that in this year's river sacrifice, the Five Lakes River Monsters would have been killed or injured.

But after the river sacrifice was over, the water god Qu Yuan patted his butt and left, leaving the river monsters of the four rivers in vain.

What's going on? You just subdued us and forced us to backstab our allies, and now that it's over, you just leave us here and ignore us?
Isn't this just treating us as chamber pots?
You are so lucky, you just left and left. You are a fifth-rank water spirit officer, so the river monsters in Qin dare not attack you.

But what can we do? When the other forces have recovered from the situation, won’t they tear us apart?
Old man from Chu, if we die, we will curse you even if we become ghosts!
The Lotus Monster, the lord of the Malian River; the old loach of the Liupan River; the minnow monster of the Hong River; the Blackfish Monster of the Heihe River;

They felt the sinister looks of the other faction's palace masters as they left, and they all looked at each other, shuddered, their eyes filled with sorrow and fear.

It is said that the river monsters of Dawan Lake had just crossed the canyon pass between Jing River and Luanshitan and stepped into the water vein of Dawan Lake.

He suddenly felt relieved and used all his strength to use his claws, webbed feet, fish tail, snake tail, etc. to speed up his swimming in the water.

Less than half an hour later, the little troll dragon, along with the mansion lord, Liu Qing and several other river monsters, sank into the nest at the bottom of the rocky pond.

This Luanshitan is a strategic location in Dawan Lake. Earlier, there was a powerful monster called General Tuo, who was second only to General Tuo and was above all monsters. Therefore, the Tuolong's lair in Luanshitan was built to be extremely large. In terms of sturdiness, it is not inferior to the water palace in the main vein of Dawan Lake.

The entire building is located at the bottom of the rocky pond, with the undulating rocky hills at the bottom of the water as its foundation, constructing an underwater fortress, just like a fortress on earth.

The situation was urgent. As soon as the little turtle dragon entered the underwater turtle fort in the rocky pond, he ordered his turtle dragon and crocodile monsters to close the sluice gates and redouble the defense and vigilance.

The mansion master Yuan Datou and Madam Yu entered the underwater fortress without any hesitation and sat in the hall.
As soon as the two demons sat down, they looked at Liu Qing with sharp eyes.

Liu Qing endured his reluctance and had already prepared himself mentally for the more useful Viper Blood Algae.
Without hesitation, he wiped his mouth and took out the silver ingot that was several feet in size. He wrapped it with a water chain with great effort and handed it to the mansion lord Yuan Datou.
