Chapter 351: Arms Race
Good, good, good!
Liang Qu was overjoyed when he saw the manuscript.
Previously, there was no progress in the deciphering of the Consciousness-Only Law for a long time. I didn't expect that I would find two more doors after going out and coming back!
Eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness.
The five consciousnesses have already gathered three consciousnesses!
The old monk put his hands together: "There is no fixed number for deciphering the skills. Sometimes it is fast, sometimes it is slow. It all depends on the law of fate."
"Thank you, Master, for your hard work!"
Liang Qu grabbed the manuscript and wanted to read it on the spot, but suddenly remembered that Lin Songbao and Fan Xinglai were still waiting outside.
He and the old monk were chatting seriously, and forgot the time for a moment. He hurriedly put away the manuscript and apologized.
"I came back in a hurry. There are friends waiting outside. I will come to ask the master after I settle down."
"No problem, donor, just do as you like."
In the courtyard.
Fan Xinglai was covered with mottled light and shadow, standing by, and Chishan stretched his head into the crown of the jujube tree, trying to find fruit.
Lin Songbao sat alone on the chair in the veranda, still not recovered from the shock of the river otter monk.
As a native of Pingyang, he had seen many river otters, and saw them fighting several times every year, but it was the first time he saw a yellow robed monk otter, it was really like a knife cutting his butt...
Liang Qu held the manuscript and stepped down the stairs: "Xinglai, take Chishan back to the stable, give it a bath, brush its fur, the weather is cold, remember to add hot water.
Feed it after washing, and the box on your left hand side is the clothes I changed, take it to the backyard and let Aunt Li wash and dry it."
"Okay, don't worry, sir, I will save the trouble of raising horses, and there will be no mistakes."
Fan Xinglai carried the box and went back to the stable with Uncle Chishan.
"Songbao, thank you for helping me run a trip." Liang Qu returned to the hanging flower gate and took the wooden box.
"It's only a few steps, what's the hard part?"
"Are you scared when you see the river otter?"
"Not scared, but it's strange. I've never seen it before. It's a monster, right? It's very big."
"To be honest, I'm also surprised. I've never seen them. I have another nest at home. I guess they are enemies from outside."
Liang Qu remembered that the old giant clam said that the river otter family used grilled fish in exchange for the fat catfish and beat up the wild river otter that had robbed their home.
I'm afraid that the enemy has come to the door now.
Lin Songbao admired it. The river otter is famous for its river slippers. It's not an ordinary person who dares to raise one.
"Oh, by the way, I told Libo and Jiechang before that I was going to let you get a river official position at the river station after you pass the level. Do you want to come?"
Liang Qu has dozens of river officials under his command, and he can't remember all their names. He has to arrange a few suitable people among them.
Li Libo and Chen Jiechang have to take care of the martial arts school, so they can't take care of everything on weekdays.
Let Lin Songbao go. Not only is his major suitable, but he is also smart and capable.
After the porridge distribution and sacrifice, Lin Songbao left a deep impression on Liang Qu. It will be a lot easier to help him.
"That's great! Brother Shui, if you say so, I will definitely be happy to do it."
Lin Songbao's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he would run errands and get a good job for nothing.
"Okay, in two days, you will ask me for your badge, take it to the government office of Hebo to find a chief clerk named Li Shoufu to register and get your identity. Another thing, have you collected crabs in your fishing pen in the past two days?"
"Yes, October and November are good days for eating crabs, and several big restaurants come to collect crabs every day. Brother Shui, do you want any?"
"Well, I'm going to get some. I only want big ones. Female crabs must be more than 7 taels, and male crabs must be more than 8 taels."
"Brother Shui, how many do you want? When do you want them?"
"The more the better, in two or three days?"
Liang Qu not only has to invite Xu Yuelong and others, but also Master and Senior Brothers, so the demand is not small.
"Okay, I'll ask Acan and Ahuai to pay attention to it later, and keep all the big ones to feed the pond."
After a few words of discussion, Lin Songbao declined the invitation to lunch and left Liang's house.
Liang Qu went back to the bedroom to set up Fubo, put down Sheng Yuanmugong's rhinoceros leather box, stuffed the money box under the bed, packed up his things and went to the pond.
Before leaving Pingyang County, Liang Qu had hired craftsmen to dig a pond, but a sudden rainstorm prevented the work from starting.
After that, Liang Qu was in Huazhu County, and the work in Liang's house continued as usual.
In more than a month, the hired workers were more than enough to dig a pond, and the small pond in memory changed a lot.
The most obvious thing is the area!
From the original area of more than one mu, it doubled to two and a half mu, nearly three mu!
The pond was surrounded by pond stones, and there was a cobblestone path of one meter wide outside the pond stones. Occasionally, stone slabs were used to divide the road section, and the gaps were filled with lush green grass.
The location of the beavers' wooden house has not changed, it is still in the southeast corner, but the shape has changed, and it is not quite the same as the original.
Budong was sleeping soundly next to the wooden house, surrounded by several beavers, and the leading big beaver was knocking on the pair of green wooden horns on its forehead.
In the northwest corner of the pond opposite the wooden house, a lot of mud was surging underwater.
It was the fist that started digging a hole under the water, preparing to bury itself and exert the [burrowing] effect.
As for the old giant clam.
As usual, it lay in the corner to bask in the sun, half soaked in water and half exposed, with its wavy giant clam shell emitting soft light.
Liang Qu looked around and faced the new pond, and suddenly felt that the vision was wide and refreshed.
Only the huge rock in the middle of the pond was quite an eyesore.
"Old Bei, where did that rock come from?"
Liang Qu pointed to the huge rock in the middle of the pond that was exposed to the water surface and had a special depression in the middle.
The old giant clam was as still as a mountain: "It's just a shameless act."
Liang Qu thought about it: "Old Toad?"
“Yes.”
It really is the old toad.
“Come often?”
“Every now and then.”
Liang Qu was thoughtful.
He had previously thought of building a rockery and carving a seat so that the old toad would feel that it was worth the money and then get some precious fish from its claws and webs.
Unexpectedly, the old toad was self-reliant and saved him a sum of money.
Comparing carefully, the concave hole of the stone just fits the old toad's fat butt, a perfect fit, lying on it and looking out at the sky.
It's just that the old toad didn't make it look good, and there was still bird droppings on the edge of the stone that hadn't been scraped clean. I don't know where it came from.
Liang Qu didn't care too much and asked the river otter family to clean it up another day.
Thinking of this, he looked around and found that there was neither the scarred river otter nor the original nest in the pond.
"Old Bei, where did the nest of river otters go? Why can't I see them?"
"They went to seek refuge. They chanted sutras every day and dared not come back. Well, let's calculate the time. It should be time to return."
As soon as the old giant clam finished speaking, several river otters poked their heads out of the underground river and looked around carefully.
They were the six river otters who had lived in Liangqu's house before!
The river otters were overjoyed to see the fist in the hole. Knowing that several water animals had returned, they quickly surfaced.
The leading river otter saw Wudong on the shore and trembled with excitement.
It climbed ashore by holding onto the pond stones, shook its hair, and squeaked around Wudong, then pointed out a claw.
Wudong opened and closed his eyes, unmoved.
More than a thousand grilled fish had not been eaten before.
He didn't want to move before he had something to eat.
The big river otter was like a bereaved family, with his head drooping.
Two little river otters staggered and lay on the ground, looking up at the sky.
They were at a disadvantage due to their small number of enemies, not to mention the fact that their opponents had learned a set of boxing techniques from nowhere.
The Ta family is finished!
The big beaver stepped forward and patted the old man on the shoulder to express comfort.
Although Scarface was menacing and the Beaver family was beaten and their house was destroyed, they didn't take it to heart.
Long live friendship!
Liang Qu's eyes flickered, feeling that a good opportunity was in front of him, so he looked at Old Tridacna.
"Old Bei, ask them if they want revenge. I can also teach them a set of boxing techniques."
