Chapter 428: Born with a True Spirit

Iron-blue stars hang high.

The night wind blew through the courtyard, and the newly grown jujube leaves were caressing silently.

Su Guishan lightly twisted his fingers and wiped them dry on the towel. Instead of answering directly, he threw the question to Liang Qu.

"How do you think the imperial court views the Jianghuai dragon? Why did the Dragon Lord disappear? What are the strengths of the so-called four pillars of the Demon Court?"

There's drama!

Liang Qu felt happy.

Su Guishan didn't veto it immediately, which proved that he meant to disclose it!

Chance!

There are specialties in martial arts, and the old monk is very powerful, but he doesn't practice in Jianghuai, so he doesn't know much about it.

Toad also belongs to the demon clan, with a different perspective, and many of the questions are relatively private. It is impossible to guess the relationship between Fat Catfish and Toad. Liang Qu feels that his relationship with Toad is worse.

Later, the relationship was exposed, and Fat Catfish's problems had to be equated with his own, so it was not appropriate to ask questions on his behalf.

Counting over and over again, Su Guishan was the person Liang Qu could come into contact with, had the highest status, and knew the most about Jianghuai Daze.

Riding a black turtle across the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, the scenery is unparalleled, and the understanding is definitely deeper than ordinary people.

Some thoughts.

"The Jianghuai Daze stretches for thousands of miles and has countless resources. The imperial court must want to obtain them. Unfortunately, whether it is mining or treasure hunting, it requires a lot of manpower.

And it is not an ordinary person. You must be a master of breath-holding. Otherwise, even if you obtain it, your development will be limited. "

"Um."

Su Guishan was noncommittal.

The underlying foundation determines the superstructure.

Grandmasters and martial saints do not appear out of thin air.

Like Liang Qu himself, he has servants at home and doesn't need to worry about anything.

Doing your own laundry is a waste of resources and time. This is the simplest example, which can greatly save efficiency and time.

Mining and treasure hunting are such low-labor tasks that it is impossible for a grandmaster to do it. Even at the level of a Langyan master, it is no longer realistic to mine hard. But how can a galloping martial artist dig in the water?

The Langyan martial artist can hold his breath for an hour, but if he moves, he can only hold it for a quarter of an hour or two.

The galloping horse is even worse.

Is it possible to dig twice and come up to the surface to take a breath?

The mining tunnel is a little longer, and if you get lost, you will have to die in it.

When I entered the cave, I saw it was full of corpses.

Human resources are the most valuable resources!

Therefore, because of the flood in Huazhu County due to the bursting of the embankments in Hebo, several great martial arts masters had to be busy for two months. If the ghost mother came over, the court would be furious.

There are a lot of underwater treasures, but there are no human resources to realize them!

"Instead of taking the hard-to-use resources of Dasawa into your own hands, which you can see or eat, it is better to let Suicune, who occupies the water conservancy, send monsters to work and develop them for you, and then the court can use various processed products to trade with them, achieving a win-win situation.

From this point of view, the imperial court should mainly adopt an attitude of cooperation and appeasing the dragon.

It's a pity that Jiaolong doesn't have the strength of Old Lord Long, so he doesn't dare to take the lead easily, and he doesn't understand that if the court kills him, he will only make a profit once, and by keeping himself, he can make long-term profits.

In fact, the imperial court will not do anything at the moment. Instead, it will wait for the dragon to transform into a dragon?

As for water leakage, maybe there are other ways to solve it? For example, relocate people in advance? "

Liang Qu said a lot in one breath.

Then he glanced at Su Guishan secretly to observe his reaction.

Su Guishan remained calm, opened the crayfish, threw it into his mouth, sucked his fingers twice, and said leisurely.

"That's right, keep talking."

Liang Qu used both the eye and ear perception methods, but he couldn't sense Su Guishan's attitude at all. He used this to judge whether what he said was right or wrong, so he had no choice but to continue.

"Why and how Lord Long disappeared? The boy is very weak and knows very little. He has no clue.

And the strength of the four pillars of Demon Court...

Logically speaking, there should be four heavenly masters. After all, in the entire southern Zhili, there are only two martial saints in charge.

Even though Jianghuai Daze has a wide water area and enough space to survive, there should not be as many as five people popping up at once.

But now, the boy feels that it is true to be a Martial Saint. "

"Oh?" Su Guishan was surprised, "Tell me the reason?"

"Firstly, the two martial saints in Nanzhili are clearly unknown, and I dare not make false claims.

Secondly, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. There are two masters in Huaiyin Prefecture, but in other counties, the highest is no more than a master of Langyan.

Demons are no exception. I learned from Xia Qianzhen that when Dragon Lord is alive, many big demons will flow down the river and come to Jianghuai Daze to develop.

Therefore, Jianghuai Daze is thousands of miles away on the surface, but in fact it is the peak of power of the entire Jianghuai River. We should not limit our sights to Daze and consider other large lakes.

And...if the kid guessed correctly, the Northern Demon King in the Four Pillars of the Demon Court should have come from the sea, right?

In this way, Huaijiang itself developed three to four Martial Saint Demons, which the boy thought was quite reasonable. "

Liang Qu's analysis made Su Guishan straighten his expression and put down the drumstick in his hand.

"I remember that you were born as a fisherman, so you haven't read a book, right?"

Liang Qu emphasized: "I have been attending the academy for more than half a year, and I still read books on weekdays."

"Having never been to an academy, it is extremely difficult to have such thorough thinking, logic and insights!"

"Having been in school for half a year, I have persisted in studying..."

"Okay." Su Guishan interrupted Liang Qu's defense, "Let me ask you, how many dragons do you think there are in the world today?"

How many dragons are there in the world today?

Liang Qu was startled and said hesitantly: "Are there many?"

Su Guishan laughed, shook his head and stretched out three fingers.

Liang Qu was shocked.

"Sanjo?"

"Yes, just three!"

"But there are only three of them, how can they reproduce? Are they all like dragons, all transformed from snakes into dragons?"

Liang Qu brainstormed. He knew that functional extinction was the reason why the dragons could reproduce. Then there was only...

"Don't think too much. I'll tell you straight out. Of these three dragons, one is in the Huai River, one is in the Huangsha River, and one is in the Beiting E River. Oh, yes, the ones in the Huai River and Huangsha River are gone. That means there is only one real dragon in the world right now!"

One Huai River, one Huangsha River, and one Beiting E River?

The distribution is too balanced...

Liang Qu frowned.

"Boy, what do you think a dragon is now?"

"Could it be...a natural creature bred by a river?"

"That's right! A natural creature. Have you ever eaten a treasure fish?"

Liang Qu's pupils shrank sharply and he blurted out.

"Is the real dragon a treasure fish?"

"Don't get excited, this is just a mainstream inference. We haven't figured out exactly how the real dragon appeared, but we are sure of three points.

First, only the big rivers across the Tianshan Mountains have real dragons, and they have never been heard of in the sea.

Second, there is one dragon in each river, unless the one from the Huangsha River comes to visit the Huaijiang River, then it is temporarily counted as two.

Third, once a real dragon dies, it will reappear within two sixty years."

"What about the Jiaolong? I heard that the Jiaolong was once a big snake, and it transformed into a Jiao after entering the Dragon Palace! And it has been trying to become a dragon?"

Su Guishan was quite surprised: "You know a lot..."

Liang Qu coughed awkwardly.

"It's okay. You learned it from the dragon man or your white ape friend, right?"

"Uncle has a keen eye!"

"We believe that there are two ways for a real dragon to appear. One is natural breeding, and the other is inheritance and transformation into a real dragon! The Jiaolong did the second way!

The court's attitude towards Jiaolong is actually similar to your guess, with only some details slightly different.

A Daze with a Dragon King is indeed much more beneficial to Dashun than a Daze without a leader.

As long as it is biased towards Dashun, Dashun doesn't care who will be the Dragon King. It can be a Jiaolong, it can be my black tortoise, oh, your white ape friend may also have a chance in the future."

Liang Qu's heart skipped a beat.

"But Jiaolong... First, it has become a real dragon, so there is a problem of water leakage. Second, this Jiaolong is slightly hostile to my Dashun..."

"Hostility?"

"In the past, Jiaolong, as a big snake, had an unpleasant experience with my Dashun because of the Ghost Mother Cult, the remnants of Dagan. Although the past is over, but... Jiaolong is a demon, can you understand?"

Su Guishan emphasized the word "one".

Liang Qu understood.

Dashun's territory is too large, and martial saints emerge in endlessly.

Don't talk about other things. Before Dashun became rich, there were many martial saints in the family.

This is only one family, what about the scattered others?

In addition, other martial saints come to form a group, combine with each other, and win over. What the Holy Emperor has to consider is the overall interests, not the gains and losses of one family.

Even if there was unpleasantness in the past, they can still make money together.

It happened that in a small place, Jiaolong became a top individual after he became a real dragon. If he wants to cooperate, he will cooperate. If he doesn't cooperate, he can't do anything.

No wonder he has been shrinking, it's not just a problem of distrust.

There is a rift!

In order to ensure safety, Dashun can take the opportunity to kill, and it would be best to change a dragon king, which is in line with the interests.

Su Guishan continued: "I don't know why the real dragon disappeared, or perhaps no one in the whole Dashun knows.

Jianghuai Dragon King is the strongest among the three dragon kings, one level stronger, and the two dragon kings can only match it together.

Logically speaking, the four pillars of the demon court would not be its opponent even if they jointly rebelled.

But the real dragon disappeared, and left the dragon ball in the dragon palace, allowing the big snake to transform into a dragon. We regard it as dead, whether it is or not, it all depends on whether the dragon can really transform into a dragon in one fell swoop."

Liang Qu nodded and silently digested the information thrown out by Su Guishan.

A little full.

"As for your last question, the strength of the four pillars of the demon court..." Su Guishan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I want to know, why can you be sure that the North Demon King came from the sea?"

Because it looks like a Dunkleosteus, and Dunkleosteus is from the sea.

Liang Qu complained.

"I guess, when I was managing the flood in Huazhu County, I accidentally met the subordinates of the North Demon King. They were heavily armored and had iron beaks. At that time, I didn't think they were water beasts from the Jianghuai Lake."

Su Guishan was surprised: "You have seen the subordinates of the North Demon King in Huazhu County? Do you have a pen? Draw it for me."

Liang Qu went to the kitchen to get a charcoal pencil and drew a simple picture.

Su Guishan frowned.

"Really, the south is the territory of the toad, and it is not in harmony with the North Demon King. Why would the iron-armored fish run to the south..."

Of course, it came to me at the order of the dragon.

Liang Qu hurriedly said: "It may be that they are not in harmony, and they sent a spy specially! They are ready to take action against the toad and eliminate dissidents!"

"Spy?"

Su Guishan fell into deep thought.

Liang Qu changed the subject.

"Uncle, you haven't finished talking yet. Are the Four Pillars of the Demon Court the strength of Martial Saints?"

"Well, you guessed right. The Four Pillars of the Demon Court, the Northern Demon King did come from the sea and has been here for more than 300 years. Not only it, but also the Jiaolong, which has been here for even longer, more than 500 years. The Northeastern Demon King is the Sea Demon King.

In addition, the turtle in the west came from the Dongtian Lake in the middle reaches of the Huai River. The only demon king that was truly bred by the Jianghuai Lake is the Toad in the South."

Liang Qu was surprised.

Is the Toad so authentic?
