Chapter 706 Hostages
Chapter 707 Hostages
Squeak!
The golden beetle screamed without stopping.
Liang Qu cut his finger with the blue wolf, pulled the time insect apart with one hand, and carved the character "Chuan" on its back.
The faint blood disappeared.
"Ugh!"
Liang Qu's mouth and nose were bleeding, and he felt dizzy. He felt the time insect struggling and subconsciously grabbed it in his hand to prevent it from escaping.
The second control failed.
Not only failed, but also had a big backlash.
"One cocoon didn't change the attributes of the time insect much."
Liang Qu wiped the blood from his nose, and double images appeared in front of his eyes.
After cocooning once, the spiritual power of the time insect increased much higher than its combat power. The first failure didn't feel anything at all.
"We have to find something to hold it, Third Prince, Awei, keep an eye on it!"
The little mirage dragon spit out the mirage tiger and grabbed the time insect tightly.
...
"Brother, is there any better material than this? Can it withstand the bite?"
Dinner is over.
Liang Qu carried the broken jade bamboo tube and found Lu Gang who had just returned from the Tiangong craftsman.
Lu Gang took the bamboo tube and looked at it from front to back.
"Bite it with insects?"
"Brother, you have a keen eye."
"It's not hard to recognize. The jade bamboo that is thirty or forty years old is mostly used to hold poisonous insects. It must be bitten like this. It must be a powerful insect..." Lu Gang gently rubbed the densely packed gaps on the edge of the bamboo tube with his fingertips, guessing the situation at that time, and thought for a moment, "It's not too easy to bite. You can buy a jade bamboo that is more than two hundred years old. It can't bite it. It shouldn't be difficult to find it in the imperial capital. It should be in the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce."
"Okay!" Liang Qu raised his head, "Long Yao, Long Li, I'm going out for a while, let someone clean the quiet room!"
"Got it!"
The quiet room of a cultivator can never avoid being destroyed.
It took about half an hour.
A large piece of garbage was swept out of the quiet room, and a brand new cushion, table and chairs were moved in.
Liang Qu went to the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce and squandered more than 1,500 taels of silver. A brand new jade bamboo tube was produced.
Worried that it was too small and the time insects would not live comfortably, he specifically asked for an extra-large one, as thick as an ordinary person's thigh.
He touched the more than 50,000 taels of silver in his pocket. After the water essence was insufficient, money became increasingly scarce...
Eh~
Difficult, difficult, difficult.
Two months later, the boat model of the big beaver at home should be built. I will ask the toad boss for some good things another day.
The mermaids received dividends, and it was time to pay some "rent".
Bang bang bang!
In the newly tidied quiet room, Long Yao lit the new incense burner, and Long Li brought the candlestick. The bamboo tube swayed and vibrated violently. The time insects collided back and forth, but they could not get out at all. Everything returned to the original state.
Long Li looked at the bamboo tube: "Elder, are you raising insects again?"
"What do you mean again?"
Long Yao moved her fingers: "Fat insect, Awei, add this one, there will be three?"
Awei bit his mouthparts with a click.
The little mirage dragon refused to accept it, stepped on all four legs, quickly jumped up and swam two circles, flicking its tail.
Long Yao reached out to pinch its dragon horns.
The little mirage dragon raised its claws to protect it, ran away quickly, and spit at the two of them.
"Insects have infinite uses, and should not be underestimated. Who knows, one day they may turn into dragons like the third prince, and then they will be very useful..."
Before she finished speaking.
The movement in the bamboo tube disappeared.
Long Yao and Long Li left tactfully.
Liang Qu shook it gently, opened the lid, and a bright golden light dazzled the eyes.
The whole time insect spit out a large golden silk cocoon to wrap its whole body, hung on the bamboo lid, motionless, and snored.
Exactly the same as when they first met.
I still remember what the caretaker said, that on weekdays, all the insects slept in cocoons, year after year, occasionally waking up to eat a little jade dew, but not growing at all.
"The cocoon is very important to the insect, and the silk it spit out is only a substitute, and it cannot evolve and grow?" Liang Qu guessed, raising his hand to scrape the gold thread with the tip of the Qinglang knife.
Like a straightened metal wire, there is a crisp tremor, and it must be a good material for refining if collected.
"I wonder if I can make it again when I get other water and wood long qi in the future..."
According to the description, the life creation is a combination of water, wood, spring and autumn, and it is reasonable to add more.
Maybe after adding, the condensation of the seed of creation can be faster.
...
"That's all I have to say."
Dong!
The usual opening remarks, Wei Jiaotou beat the gongs and drums.
The candidates came on stage one after another, arousing their qi and blood, lifting the bronze pillars, and the blood pillars rose up.
"Why did you leave in such a hurry yesterday? I wanted to treat you to a drink." Meng Qiang arranged the Yulin Army and found a free time to chat with Liang Qu, "Why, do you have a beautiful wife waiting for you at home?"
"What nonsense." Liang Qu confirmed that it was correct and handed the book page back to the examinee, "Practice, I just buried the magical seeds the day before yesterday, and I have to consolidate my realm."
"You buried the magical seeds?"
"Thanks to the Dragon Beard Pill."
"Tsk tsk tsk, I heard that you spend 200,000 without blinking an eye. You are quite rich, you can't save it just by relying on salary, what good business do you do?"
"Hard-earned money, one by one from Jiang Fished out of the Huai Lake."
"When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes. It will be easier for you to deal with Harukhan now."
"I can practice, and I am not a wooden man. By the way, has the Beiting delegation left?"
"No, they are having a feast in the Honglu Temple."
"Hasn't they left yet?" Liang Qu was surprised. "It's been more than a month since the New Year? It will take them at least four or five months to get back?"
Meng Qiang laughed: "If they want to leave, the court has to let them go. They are holding back the gifts and trying to keep them."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember I told you that Beiting has been experiencing heavy snow for years, and they might go south to plunder?"
Liang Qu thought for a moment.
"Hostage?"
"Not much difference. If the Beiting people go south, it will be natural for us to kill the delegation and we don't have to worry about our reputation."
"If Beiting had any concerns, they wouldn't have sent anyone here, right? Or did they keep some second-hand people?"
"Who knows? Something is better than nothing. We can kill one and we can't afford to lose. If you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you. Anyway, I guess we have to wait until the weather warms up this year before people will leave."
The world is always changing. While the Liujin Sea is still there, we should find an opportunity to pave the way as soon as possible.
Liang Qu thought secretly.
Boom!
There was a loud noise.
The whole venue was in uproar like a tide.
Liang Qu looked up and found that it was the No. C team. Someone carried the dragon pillar.
"The first one this year." Meng Qiang exclaimed.
"Hu, hu!"
The young man was tall, his pores opened, sweat poured out, soaking his clothes in an instant. It was a cold day, and his whole body was like a layer of white mist, steaming continuously.
Seeing Liang Qu's eyes, the young man raised his hand and saluted.
Liang Qu nodded gently.
The young man grinned.
Anyone who can lift the dragon pillar is extremely strong and will not be bad in fighting. The emphasis on the top three is already high. If you hold two top rankings, you will definitely have a place in the twenty-eight constellations, without exception, unless you withdraw from the exam halfway through.
Countless candidates are envious.
Liang Qu is too far away to be strong, but the dragon pillar is right in front of you.
It is straight to the sky, just waiting for someone to come.
"Next one, Zhao Tong!"
For several days in a row, the martial arts selection finally came to an end. The young and old men in the city discussed it enthusiastically, before and after meals, before and after sleep, in the alleys, teahouses, and barber shops, from Liang Jiaotou holding five pillars on the first day to the hot favorite for the first place in the martial arts examination.
There were three people who lifted the dragon pillar.
There was also one person in the team where Liang Qu and Wei Jiaotou were, born with martial bones.
Ordinary people practiced more horizontal training and took more good medicine to increase qi and blood, and they might be able to reach the tiger pillar or even the elephant pillar. However, to go higher, they must have martial bones, and they must be good at wrestling.
And it was almost the second day after the competition.
The treasure ship arrived.
