Zeding bloomed with faint blue light.
[Ding Master: Liang Qu]
[Refining Zeling: Water Monkey (White) (Fusion Degree: 70.6%)]
[Talent Skill: Water Leap]
[Water Essence: None]
[River favor degree: 0.0001 (Huaijiang)]
[Control water animals: Taihua crocodile, six-bearded catfish, stone crab, Tianshui centipede]
[Evaluation: Water Monkey Ze Ling originated from the great Lord of Huaivortex, a little person with incomplete inspiration and not worth mentioning]
River favorability, 0.0001!
The quality of this decimal point is comparable to a knife on Pinduoduo.
Liang Qu stared at this small 0.0001 and felt that it was hard-won.
I don’t know whether it’s because the fusion level increased by 20, or because of favor, but the final evaluation has changed. The weak life has become not worth mentioning. It sounds like there is no difference, but it should be regarded as a small improvement. ....Bar?
I just don’t know which step in the sacrifice is recognized? Being the officiant? Sacrifice to mountain ghosts? Leading thousands of people?
Or is it not just a single step, but only the entire process is completed before you are favored?
If you want to be favored in the future, you have to perform sacrifices as the officiant?
There are too many doubts, and the whole sacrificial process is too complicated to be easily reproduced for controlled experiments.
Liang Qu couldn't judge and could only make certain guesses.
Today's sacrifice, said to be a sacrifice to the river god, does not essentially have a specific target.
Just like what Lin Songbao said, great demons appear every year and are seen by mortals.
This year it was the spherical black shadow toad brother, last year it was the big wide fish, and the last year it was the big wide fish. There were sacrifices afterwards. This is a sacrificial custom formed by the villagers out of fear.
There are too many big monsters and the Jianghuai River is too big. The probability of seeing the same big monster in the same place is extremely small.
Under such circumstances, the river god of the Jianghuai River can change his own settings.
There are often stories in folklore about the Jianghuai River God transforming into a graceful noble son, falling in love with folk women, punishing corrupt officials and unworthy descendants, and helping poor scholars.
Without any direction, it is better to say that it is offering sacrifices to the river god than to offering sacrifices to the Jianghuai River itself.
Everyone hopes that the sacrifice of livestock will make the Jianghuai River remember their hardships, and that in the coming year the weather will be smooth, the grain will be abundant, the grass will be lush and the fish will be fat.
Therefore, the sacrifices were actually made to the Jianghuai River.
If you want to gain favor through sacrifice, this should be a necessary condition.
The scale of the sacrifice and one's position in the sacrifice should be another necessary condition.
As the chief priest, he attracted thousands of people to stand up and kneel down in worship. It was so majestic that it was probably more majestic than the emperor's early dynasty.
If you become one person among a thousand people, it probably won't have that effect.
The quality of the sacrifice must also be taken into account. It must be at least three animals, not to mention mountain spirits and ghosts.
These three are estimated to be the three key elements for gaining favor.
If he, as the chief priest, led one hundred thousand people to sacrifice three great Elephant-level monsters, then the degree of favor would be 1, right?
Liang Qu didn't think that he could get the favor of Jianghuai River by setting up two small broken tables, killing two chickens, and sneaking in a corner to worship twice. That was too worthless.
But you can give it a try. It doesn’t cost any money. Another day, you can prepare two chickens, an incense burner, and sprinkle the chicken blood into the river.
Old hens that have been raised for two and a half years are preferred.
Liang Qu rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. He walked out of the boat canopy and stood on the bow to see the difference in being favored.
The long wind is powerful, the oars hit the river water, and roll up whirlpools.
Chen Jiechang felt strange. He was also a good fisherman and sailing a boat was easy, but it was extremely easy to row a boat today. It was as if the heavens and the earth were working together to jump out with just one slip.
Because it is not your own boat and the weight is different, or because you have been in the martial arts school for two months without fishing, so you can make it yourself?
Wait, why did the boat slow down again?
Chen Jiechang shook the oar and felt that the feeling in his hand was getting weirder and weirder, as if he was rowing in paste. Fortunately, it returned to normal after a while. It was neither easy nor strenuous, just like usual.
The current in the river today is very strange. I have never seen it before. Is it an undercurrent?
I don’t understand, I don’t understand.
Liang Qu squatted on the bow of the boat and put down his water control ability.
The favoring degree of 0.0001 is too little, and it is impossible to evolve the talent skill Water Leap.
However, the ability to control water has been slightly enhanced, from about 800 kilograms to 1,000 kilograms!
The physical exertion when controlling water becomes less and the flexibility is higher.
I don't know why, but it's still difficult to control blood. Even Chen Jiechang can't feel the blood flow in his body. Until now, he can only control the blood of ordinary people.
When I go back, I have to read the two volumes of "Yu Guan Xiu, Feeling of Fate", there may be answers in them.
In the past few days, Liang Qu has been reading the "Annotated Edition of Hao Mutang Miscellaneous Notes" to increase his knowledge and experience, but he has ignored the macro description of the journey of martial arts.
No way, "Yu Guanxiu, Feelings of Fate" is too boring and far less lively and interesting than "Annotated Edition of Haomutang Miscellaneous Notes". The experiences in it are all told in the form of stories, and there are many unexpected turns, which is very boring to read.
The awning boat passed through the winding river and passed several passenger ships.
As the Nanshi Bridge passed overhead, Liang Qu glanced at it and saw a pedestrian walking across the bridge in a hurry.
Hey, Zheng Xiang!
Liang Qu glanced a few more times until the housekeeper of the Zhao family turned a corner and disappeared.
The scene when Zheng went to ask him to be Mr. Zhao's adopted son was still fresh in his memory.
She never expected to see him again today, and it was strange to say that Lin Di knew that he became Master Yang's disciple. The Zhao family had a much bigger business than a small fisherman's family, but Zheng Xiang didn't come to express anything.
Downplaying?
Liang Qu couldn't figure it out. He saw the awning boat crossing the river and could see the Yang Mansion in the distance, so he stopped thinking about it.
He no longer takes such little people into his eyes, they are not worth spending his time on.
Climbing up the rocks on both sides, Chen Jiechang stayed on the boat to watch the boat, while Liang Qu stepped forward to knock on the copper ring.
When the concierge saw that it was Liang Qu, he naturally knew his identity. He called out to Master Ninth and opened the door.
Liang Qu was led by his servants through the courtyard and did not see Master Yang. He only saw Master Yang's wife, Mrs. Xu, sitting on the Taishi chair with Nan Di's support.
Liang Qu said hello hurriedly: "Greetings to Master Madam."
Mrs. Xu leaned back lightly on the chair and said with a smile: "Why does Xiaojiu come to my place when you have time? I don't see anyone on weekdays, and I can't even find you to have a meal with you.
Among the nine boys, you and Xiaosi and Xiaowu are the prettier, but Xiaosi has a perverse temper and Xiaowu is cold. I just wanted you to come and accompany me, but you can't be seen all day long, alas. "
The emotional master's wife is a beauty control.
Liang Qu felt ashamed: "I really have a lot of things to do, and I haven't found any time. I have to study, practice martial arts, and go out on a boat to fish. In the next few days, I will come to visit my master's wife every day when I have free time."
"Fishing? I don't have enough money, right? I'll tell you, old man Yang is just asking for money. What's the use of ten taels? Why are you afraid of having a bad temper? You are a very good kid. How can you lose your temper with just a little money?" Nan Di, go get a piece of silver from my box."
Liang Qu felt embarrassed when he heard it in front of him, and was surprised when he heard it in the back.
A piece of precious silver!
That's fifty taels of silver!
The master's wife was too generous.
But he's not here to ask for money.
Liang Qu quickly revealed all his intentions for coming, fearing that he would be late and be like accepting a red envelope from a relative.
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu waved: "Xiaojiu, come here."
Liang Qu obediently stood up and squatted in front of Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu came forward and took a sniff: "No wonder it smells like medicine when you come in. You smell like blood. Are you injured?"
"Minor injuries don't matter."
Mrs. Xu directly opened Liang Qu's collar and frowned at the thick white turban: "Is this called a minor injury? Nan Di, don't go get the treasure. Go to my second box and get a bottle of flesh-tonifying pills."
"There's really no need for it, Mistress. I rolled out of a quagmire. I have a few flesh wounds and it's just a minor quarrel. The villagers are all waiting for me. They're quite anxious."
"It's useless to be anxious, Master You is not at home at all."
