As soon as Liang Qu left the academy, he saw Li Libo waiting at the door. He looked around and saw that there was no one else nearby, obviously waiting for him.
"How did you come?"
Li Libo, who was squatting next to the curb, raised his head when he heard the sound, spat out the grass stalks in his mouth, and complained: "I've finally met you. I asked Senior Brother Xiang. Senior Brother Xiang said that you would be out of school at the end of the day, so he was a quarter of an hour early. I came over to wait for you, but I didn’t see you for a long time.
I went to ask the old man at the door. The old man said that you haven't come out yet, and I was too embarrassed to go in and disturb my reading. I had to wait for more than an hour. Did you hook up with the daughter of some family inside? "
"I thought so. The people in the same classroom as me are all kids."
"Then what are you doing in there?"
"I have something to do. I'm a little late. Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, I'll treat you. It just so happens that we can go together."
"That's a good feeling."
Li Libo smiled happily, and they went to the foot shop to order food for dinner.
"Speaking of which, I feel like you are different."
"Is that different?"
"It's not that dark anymore, it seems to be higher."
"I've been growing and I haven't gone out fishing much these days. Tell me what you want from me."
"Hey, I almost forgot." Li Libo took out a stack of paper from his arms and slapped it on the table, "Today Chen Lilao sent someone to the martial arts hall to find you, saying that there will be a River God Festival tomorrow at noon, and you are the chief priest. If you are reciting the memorial text in public, I ask you to read it several times in advance to make it smooth. The process is also written down on paper, which means you are more familiar with it.
As a result, he couldn't find you, so he had to send someone to the martial arts hall. I happened to know that you were in the academy, and the person asked me to deliver the memorial to you. "
"Okay, I remember. I have something to trouble you with. Go to the martial arts studio and help me move the big wooden box in my room."
"Wooden box? OK, I'll go back and take a look and bring it over to you."
Liang Qu accepted the paper, folded it and put it in his arms.
He had not forgotten that Chen Zhaoan had said before that he would be the chief priest of the River God Festival, which would be a great opportunity to show his face.
The memorial text will not be in vernacular. Various rare words are combined into words that you would never say on a daily basis. It is very difficult to pronounce. You have to read it several times in advance, and you have to dress appropriately when the time comes.
He has always been reluctant to wear the cloak, robes and cloud-stepping boots given by his senior brothers. He dared not leave them at home for fear of being stolen. Now he finally has a use for them.
After eating, Li Libo found a wooden box and handed it to Liang Qu before going back to practice martial arts.
The opportunity was hard-won. He and Chen Jiechang practiced like crazy every day and never returned to Yixing City.
If the River God Festival hadn't had to go back tomorrow, I'm afraid they wouldn't have appeared in Yixing City for three months.
This level of hard work is three points better than that of Liang Qudu. After all, he not only has to go out on the boat, study, and multi-task, but sometimes he also sleeps in and teases the three beasts.
Ashamed, ashamed, I will never be so lazy again.
Taking the wooden box to Pingyang Port to punt, Liang Qu came to Shangrao Port and hit the water to beat the waves. A giant beast gradually emerged from the water.
The dark and slender body was half-hidden in the night. The densely packed scales shimmered and were broken apart by the arched water. They flowed and washed along the gaps between the scales and turned into small water flows into the river.
Unable to move, its body length now reaches three and a half meters. Although it is no longer growing, it is still enough to be called a giant crocodile.
After stuffing the sacrificial inscriptions and clothes into the cabin, Liang Qu jumped into the water wearing only a pair of obscene pants. Under the escort of someone who could not move, he approached the fat catfish.
Unable to move on the road, I swayed around and asked Liang Qu for credit, because this time it was no longer the fat catfish that discovered the treasure, but it was unable to move!
A special terrain that I accidentally discovered while digging a hole underwater is extremely hidden. After entering, I discovered that there is a different cave. If not for chance, ordinary people would not be able to find it.
Liang Qu patted his immobile head to encourage him.
It's a pity that he doesn't have any good things on hand now, and there is no material reward. Even so, he was extremely happy to be slapped on the head and unable to move. His tail twitched the water and drew out a large bunch of bubbles.
When he arrived at the place, Liang Qu raised his head, extremely shocked.
There is such a huge stone under the water. Looking at it, it is as high as 20 meters, which is equivalent to the size of a small residential building.
Under the stone, big fists were already patrolling around. When they saw Liang Qu, they paddled over and grabbed him on his shoulders.
The smooth muddy ground on the side suddenly rose up, and a four-meter-long fat catfish shook off the mud and swam over.
Surrounded by two giant beasts and one small beast, Liang Qu felt a slight sense of relief, as if he was really the water god in the thousands of miles of waves, scolding Fang Qiu.
With every movement of their hands, thousands of sailors cleared the way.
Just as soon as he thought about Brother Toad, Liang Qu's little thoughts disappeared.
Tomorrow I will recite the memorial service to Brother Toad, so I will be patient for the time being and eat hot pot spicy frogs in the morning and evening.
Liang Qu followed gravity and fell to the bottom of the water.
There is a neutral buoyancy point for people in the water.
Usually when the water is five meters deep, the body will float upward naturally and return to the surface without doing anything.
But at a certain depth, when the chest is squeezed, the overall volume will shrink, and the person will no longer float and will start to sink freely. This point without weight is usually thirty meters.
At this time, the water depth was already more than thirty meters, and Liang Qu could fall to the bottom effortlessly.
Under the guidance of the immobilizer, Liang Qu found the hole he had dug under the rock. He followed the hole and discovered that a large crack three meters wide had opened at the bottom of the rock.
Just after entering the gap, Liang Qu faintly saw a light source in front of him. After swimming four or five meters, the road turned 90 degrees and went straight upwards to the center of the rock.
On the straight road that is close to the "cliff", there is still a huge vine as thick as a person, like the pea tree in the fairy tale Jack and the Pea that leads to the land of giants.
It is the light source, emitting a glimmering light in the darkness, full of brightness and exceptionally strange.
Liang Qu leaned in and took a bite. It was so hard that he couldn't bite it at all. He could only climb up along the vines. After only ten meters, he suddenly jumped out of the water, holding his head of wet hair, and looked around blankly at the suddenly clear surroundings.
The innermost part of the stone is not water, but air!
Looking around, there was an inverted semicircular platform, with faint blue sparkling waves reflected on the top.
The entire rock is like a huge cover, locking the air in this space inside.
Liang Qu didn't hold his breath and came to check before he could move, which proved that the air inside was fine.
It's just that as a crocodile, it has a limited vocabulary and cannot describe the situation in the cave more specifically. It only mentions rocks, caves, and plants growing in the rocks that will glow.
In fact, the internal space of the stone is similar to an inverted eighth note. The belly of the note is the space he sees, and the long rod of the L is the passage.
Liang Qu grabbed the vine, climbed into the platform inside the stone, and stood on the platform. The space inside was high enough for him to stand up straight. After a quick glance, he saw a fat plant in the corner that was as big as a human head.
It looks very much like a mushroom, with a short white, thick, plump handle, but the top looks like a Ganoderma lucidum cap, deeply rooted in the crevices of the rocks.
Water Ganoderma!
Liang Qu has been studying these days and is no longer the ignorant newbie he was before. He recognized it at a glance as the treasure plant in the water, Ganoderma lucidum!
He was about to step forward, but unexpectedly, a group of rocks that completely blended in with the surrounding environment suddenly shook off the dark rock wall and ejected!
