Chapter 109: Three games to one, Sturgeon King!
In the early morning, the thick fog was like a mat rolled up on the ground, and the cold air poured into the seams of clothes.
In the thick fog, shadows were visible. About twenty or thirty people walked out in a group, followed by five carts.
Most of them were young men and women, dressed neatly, but there were also servants wearing coarse linen clothes.
Only one person attracted the most attention. He was extremely tall, over six feet tall, but his face was very childish.
"Master, is this Pingyang Town? It's so big, it feels bigger than our county town."
The thin young man was carrying a package and looking around curiously.
Pang Qinghe, who was leading the team and walking in the front, sighed: "It should be called Pingyang County. Maybe it will be called Pingyang Prefecture in the future. Anyway, we have to make a living here in the future."
The man, who was over six feet tall, said in a muffled voice: "Why do we have to move away? Isn't Huazhu County good enough?"
"Da Zhuang, we have no choice but to move. The Ghost Mother Cult has brought us so much trouble." The thin young man patted Da Zhuang's arm sadly. "People in the county have fled, and many people in our martial arts school have died. If we don't move, no one will come to learn martial arts. In the future, we will have no income. Without income, you won't be able to eat meat."
"Then I won't eat meat anymore."
"Da Zhuang, don't listen to Lan Tai's nonsense." Pang Qinghe pretended to hit him, but Lan Tai jumped out like a monkey and ran away. Pang Qinghe couldn't really chase him and said helplessly, "Eat as much meat as you want. I'll need your help later!"
"Master, do you want to fight?"
"We're not fighting, we're sparring! Too many people ran away from Huazhu County, and there are too few left. We can't afford to support a large group of people like us, so we can only come to Pingyang County. But we have to set up our own place and make a name for ourselves."
The skinny monkey Lan Tai popped his head out from behind Da Zhuang and said, "Shall we go challenge some martial arts schools? Master, I remember there were originally three martial arts schools in Pingyang Town. Two of them were run by Ben Ma Yuanman, and the other one, the Yang family, is not to be trifled with. The owner is Shou Hu, who is very powerful. Shall we go to the other two?"
"What's the point of kicking the other two? If we have to kick someone, we'll kick the strongest one!"
"Wow, Master, you are hunting tigers with smoke screens, aren't you afraid of being killed?"
"How did you have a mouth?" Pang Qinghe was very annoyed. "It was definitely not me who kicked him, but Da Zhuang. I got the news that Master Yang had just accepted a new disciple less than five months ago, and Da Zhuang had just learned martial arts for half a year, so the difference is not much.
General versus general, soldier versus soldier, Da Zhuang was born with strong bones, almost like a warrior. He has the best bones I have seen since I opened the martial arts school. He will definitely win, and then his reputation will spread!"
Lan Tai swallowed his saliva and said, "Master, I feel it's very dangerous for you to do this."
"You are stupid. When the time comes, we will send out three people. Except for Da Zhuang, I don't expect you to win. If we can win three games and one, it will be a success."
"Hiss, Master is so smart!"
The squeaking sound of the wheels rolling on the ground swallowed up the words that Lan Tai was going to say next.
Huge wooden carts drove out from the thick fog, forming a long convoy, with bulging sacks piled up to a height of one person.
Officials in official uniforms and holding long whips followed the convoy with fierce eyes, escorting the convoy.
“It’s a grain truck!”
Pang Qinghe twitched his nostrils. The rich aroma of millet made him salivate in the early morning and he wanted to eat a bowl of fragrant braised pork noodles.
“There is so much to be done, it’s time for us to take the stage!
Let’s go, first find an inn to settle down and have a meal, then pick a good location to build a martial arts hall, and then send in the visiting card in the afternoon!
First come, first served, late comers get to smell the farts!"
"This river is much longer than I thought. Why is it so deep?"
Liangqu emerges from the water, surrounded by dense forests.
He originally wanted to go down the winding stream in Pingyang County to see if there were any traces of a dragon. Unexpectedly, he went further and further away, and even out of the town he still hadn't reached the end.
Not only has the river not reached its end, but it is getting deeper and deeper. It is almost forty or fifty meters deep, and the width of the river is still only seven or eight meters.
He turned over and dived, leaving a wave on the surface of the river.
"Did you find anything?"
In the water, the fat catfish, unable to move, shook its head, and swung its claws with its fists, indicating that it had not noticed anything either.
There is nothing good under the water.
"Is it really a legend?"
Liang Qu sighed, his dream of finding some dragon bones and dragon scales was shattered. Just as he was about to go home, a fist beside him started waving a pair of pliers.
"Found lots of small sturgeons along the way?"
Liang Qu frowned and recalled, and found that it seemed to be true. Along the way, he found no less than seven or eight sturgeons in the river.
Sturgeons are a special species of the Jianghuai River. Many people call them sturgeons, which are the creatures closest to dragons in folklore. Why are there so many sturgeons in a small river?
This thing is not very common.
"Look inside again."
Liang Qu led the four beasts deeper into the river, and after swimming another two miles, the river suddenly became wider.
When I surfaced, a tranquil lake came into view, at least half a mile deep, with lush trees on the shore.
Liang Qu's heart suddenly started beating faster for some reason, and his intuition told him that this small lake was not simple.
He turned around and asked the four beasts to hide, and Liang Qu swam away alone.
With the bonus of Ze Ling, his ability to hide in water is very strong, while the four beasts do not have this ability.
There are already a lot of sturgeons outside the lake. It is definitely not normal for them to use the small lake as their base camp!
Just as he was about to go deeper, three giant beasts suddenly appeared in Liang Qu's perception circle.
The behemoth is a species of sturgeon, more than five meters long, and swims in an orderly manner, like a big dog guarding the house.
The ordinary sturgeon is only about three meters tall. It is a monster. Absolutely a monster!
A three-headed monster guarding the door?
Liang Qu was so frightened that he dared not go forward.
Grass!
Is there a sturgeon fish monster in the lake?
This lake looks big, but it definitely cannot accommodate three sturgeon fish monsters sharing the territory. There can only be a stronger one to suppress them.
With his current level, it would be difficult for him to defeat even a big monster, let alone a demon.
I retreated and retreated, and accidentally discovered an advanced copy.
Liang Qu quickly withdrew and left with the four beasts without looking back.
In the center of the lake, inside a simple "palace" built with stone pillars.
A sleeping sturgeon's tentacles moved slightly, and its breathing fell silent.
Liang Qu followed the river all the way back to Pingyang County and only breathed a sigh of relief when he got back on the boat.
There is a three-headed monster guarding the exit of a lake. Who can stand it...
"So, the rumor about dragons crossing the river may not be groundless. Maybe someone has seen a sturgeon monster? Or maybe..."
Liang Qu's heart was pounding.
Or maybe a sturgeon monster obtained a dragon relic and developed its own tribe!
In any legend, any residue on a dragon's body is a good thing, even if it is urine.
From the perspective of Emperor Chuanzhu, he had seen with his own eyes how a fish that swallowed the blood of a dragon became a monster.
"It's just that the sturgeon monster is a little difficult to deal with."
Liang Qu was certain that there was a big creature in the center of the lake, it was either a demon or a big monster.
"Forget it, let's go back and eat first, and then think about it after dinner."
Liang Qu was starving after failing to come up with a solution for a long time. He stopped the boat at the pier and prepared to go back to the martial arts hall for dinner.
"Senior Brother Liang!"
"Junior Brother Li? What's the matter?"
An apprentice who had just entered the door bowed and said, "Brother Liang, Brother Xiang asked me to tell you that the grain raised by various prefectures has been delivered. I want you to help and go to Yixing Town to find someone to transport their portion of the grain back."
"Okay, I see."
moment.
A large chestnut horse galloped down the street, its mane and tail fluttering like flames, its iron hooves raising dust and it left like a whirlwind.
Lan Tai, who rushed to the martial arts gym to submit a visiting card, looked up and felt envious.
I wonder which rich young man could afford to ride such a handsome horse? It really was running like a ball of fire.
After all, it is a big county town, and the situation is different.
