The scene was silent for a long time, and Marquis Lingyou, who was the first to come back to his senses, said with a serious face, "I am really impressed by the mystery of Sir's magic."
Gu Ning'an smiled and made a gesture of asking for tea, and continued: "Marquis Lingyou has given you the award."
"It's definitely not a compliment." Marquis Lingyou picked up the tea and sniffed hard. A thin stream of white smoke penetrated his thick nose. He put down the tea cup and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Gu, this tea is really good. ...By the way, I have something else I want to discuss with you, sir.”
"But it doesn't matter." Gu Ning'an smiled.
Marquis Lingyou nodded and said, "Qiu is quick to speak quickly. If I offend you in any way, I would like to thank Haihan."
Upon hearing this, all the city gods knew that their boss was going to talk about the demon fish, so they all subconsciously sat up straight.
Seeing this, Gu Ning'an nodded: "Lingyouhou Hou Anxin said that."
"There is a demon fish in the Baizhang River. It has a huge body and can stir up the river water even with a slight stir... I know that it has done good deeds, has the power of merit and virtue, and has some connections with Mr."
"But the monster is a monster. If one day it becomes more ferocious, it will probably bring disaster to the people of Lexiang County."
"What Qiu means is that if it is absorbed into larger rivers, lakes and seas, then Xiangjiang is a good place to go... How about your business, sir?"
Gu Ning'an could understand Lingyou Hou's thoughts.
After all, one of the responsibilities of the City God is to protect the people in the world from monsters and evil spirits.
Therefore, it is entirely reasonable for him to be innately wary of red-tailed fish.
However, this red-tailed fish is only tall, and its magic skills probably don't have many skills except blowing bubbles.
After all, even if the Heng Gu has not been refined, you can't completely define it as a "spirit".
Even the yellow-skinned guy that Tailor Lao Ma encountered before could easily deal with the red-tailed fish.
Xiangjiang River is the largest river in Xiangzhou, and there are thousands of monsters and ferocious creatures in the water. In the past, red-tail fish, which was "fleshy and weak", would probably become a "dinner" in a short time.
This is also the reason why Gu Ning'an is thinking about helping him refine Heng Gu.
"Gu can understand Marquis Lingyou's concerns... I also had the idea of sending it into larger rivers and lakes, but it is too weak. If I send it away rashly, it will be tantamount to destroying its life."
Speaking of this, Gu Ning'an paused and continued: "How about instead of waiting for him to refine the cross bones, Gu Mou will personally supervise his entry into the Xiangjiang River Basin?"
Hearing this, Marquis Lingyou didn't hesitate, he just nodded and said, "Just do as Mr. said."
This time, the county gods who had previously imagined various disputes were stunned.
They didn't expect that Gu Ning'an would change his mind with just a few words.
To say that they were impressed by their cultivation, everyone felt otherwise. After all, even if the city god of the state could not deal with the true immortal-level figures, there were also the "city god of the prefecture", the "city god of the capital" and even the city god of the capital city who managed the underworld of Daqian. —Where is the "King of Ming Ling" displayed?
If that person is really invited out, I am afraid that the weaker True Immortal-level existence will have no choice but to "scurry away".
Of course, under normal circumstances, just don’t ask the people above...
Therefore, in the eyes of the county gods, it must be Mr. Gu's magnanimity that convinced Marquis Lingyou that the demon fish in Baizhang River would not cause any future troubles, rather than the other party's cultivation strength...
Seeing that this matter can be discussed so smoothly, the happiest person is Xu Chenghuang of Lexiang County. After all, both the red-tailed fish and Mr. Gu in front of him are his territorial existence. If Gu Ning'an really and If his boss is making trouble, it will be extremely uncomfortable for him to be caught in the middle...
His eyes glanced at Xu Chenghuang unintentionally, and Gu Ning'an suddenly thought of the real demon who had embarrassed all the city gods in front of him.
Therefore, he also asked: "Last time, Gu heard from Xu Chenghuang that the escaped true demon might return again. Is there any whereabouts now?"
"Hey..." Lingyouhou let out a long sigh and continued: "The real demon has disappeared since the last time I failed to hunt him down. I went to find Fucheng Huang to deduce it, but I didn't have any clue."
"Now we can only take one step at a time and be more vigilant..."
Gu Ning'an nodded: "If there is any need for Gu's help, Marquis Lingyou can just let Xu Chenghuang know."
"Sir, if you are willing to help, that would be great!" Marquis Lingyou had a look of surprise on his face. He did not expect that Gu Ning'an would be willing to help.
After all, judging from Ling'an's method of extinguishing the demonic flames, his strength is at least higher than that of any real demon.
If Gu Ning'an doesn't take action, then I'm afraid the real demon won't be so stupid that he takes the initiative to provoke the other party.
As a living being, he knows how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, let alone a real demon?
Gu Ning'an smiled and said, "It should be done."
Seeing Gu Ning'an's frank and sincere look, Lingyouhou felt more and more that his luck was really good. The things that had made him so worried now seemed to have been solved...
Therefore, when he talked with Gu Ning'an, he became more and more casual, and he even knew everything about some of the questions raised by Gu Ning'an.
Originally, after they chatted for a while, Marquis Lingyou planned to leave early so as not to delay Gu Ning'an's rest.
Unexpectedly, the latter said that he should keep track of the time and water the orange tree every other hour until midnight.
Seeing that there was still time, I was curious about what magical things would happen after the water was poured.
Marquis Lingyou also stayed with the city gods and drank a few more cups of tea...
As the tea was being refilled one cup after another, the sky gradually turned from dark to light.
"It's almost the last time to water." As he spoke, Gu Ningan walked to the tree, picked up the bucket full of water, and slowly poured it down.
The city gods were surprised to find that the mud that had been watered all night had become drier, with no trace of moisture at all.
Now this last watering was even more exaggerated. The clear well water flowed into the soil and was absorbed completely in the blink of an eye, as if the seeds buried underneath drank up the water.
Snap!
When the bucket of water was finished, Gu Ning put down the bucket and looked at the place where it was watered.
Gala~Gala!
There was a slight sound of breaking the ground, and a sapling as thick as a man's arm burst out of the ground, and it didn't stop until it reached one meter high...
No one could have imagined that the orange seed planted in the soil at a young age would sprout out of the soil overnight and become a sapling...
