Becoming a God Starting from a Water Monkey
Chapter 147: Thief, Inner Armor (Two in One)
Liang Qu closed the album and put it in his arms, then accepted three cockscomb fruits.
"Okay, if you want to take it, I'll make a note of it."
"Remember it."
Li Shoufu licked his brush and registered Liang Qu's name, time, location and task content on the booklet.
Liang Qu leaned on the desk: "Is there any subsidy for this kind of work in other counties?"
"What are you thinking about? It's not like going to another state capital. The entire Huaiyin Palace is under the control of our Hebo. There is no extra subsidy, but there is a pension for those who die in battle.
By the way, this is your first time to take on an overseas mission. I haven't told you about this. Don't blame me for what I said next is unlucky. The process is the same for everyone. "
【Mizusawa Essence +8.6】
Liang Qu gnawed on the cockscomb fruit and wiped the juice from his mouth: "Brother, tell me, I'm listening."
"Starting from the day you set out, if there is no news for a day, you will be missing by default, and if there is no news for ten days, you will be dead by default. The difficulty of the mission will increase from level E to level D.
In addition, as long as you have not been punished by the officials and have made no mistakes while in office, the Hebo Institute will pay pensions to your family after three months.
Brother Liang's official position is one hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver, ten acres of fertile land, and an additional ten years of tax exemption.
You want to have a son, and his son can hold an official position, but he has to be demoted one level, and can be a ninth-grade river chief. Let me see..." Li Shoufu flipped through the book, "Huh? Brother Liang, didn’t you leave any recipients? If you don't keep it, it will be given to the nearest relatives by default. "
"Hey, hey, goodbye." Liang Qu quickly stopped him, "The recipient of the shirt should write my master, Yang Dongxiong, Pingyang County, Huaiyin Prefecture."
He is an orphan, and his closest relative is his dead uncle Liang Guangtian.
Too much.
"Okay, I'll write it down for you."
Liang Qu always felt something was wrong when discussing his pension in a serious manner.
"Why, do you think it's strange?" Li Shoufu laughed, "There's nothing strange. Everyone is the same. It's easy to practice in public, but nothing is perfect.
If you want to live a better life than others, you have to take risks. Look at the fishermen who go fishing every day in the middle of the night. If there is a heavy rain one day, they may die in the belly of the fish.
Besides, every household has a peace vat, so no one is really prepared for a fire. "
This is the truth.
"Okay, is everything okay now? If nothing happens, I'll go back and get ready. I'll get some sleep and set off at noon tomorrow."
"It's okay, go to bed early today."
Plop.
Liang Qu threw down the sunken rocks, pulled out the boat rope, tied a knot around the berth stakes several times, and jumped ashore.
The wine flag in front of the wine shop fluttered in the night wind.
The passing fisherman shouted, and a waiter brought a bowl of warm wine. He drank from the bowl and dropped three copper plates for the waiter to grab.
"Uncle, it's been a long time since I had a drink. I don't have enough money!"
"Why is it not enough? A bowl of wine costs three coppers, you want to trick people?!" the fisherman yelled with his neck thickened.
"It has already risen. What is the price of food outside? Are you still thinking about drinking cheap wine? Now it is 20 yuan for a pound of wine and 10 yuan for a bowl of wine!"
"I want ten cents for half a kilo of wine? Why don't you go and grab it? Grandpa only has six coppers on him. Do you want me for my mother's love?"
"Hey, you're not just fooling around. Come on, come on, there's someone to eat."
A shrill scream suddenly came from the house on the street, which made people tremble in their hearts.
The screams stopped halfway, and dogs barked from every house, followed by chaotic human voices, as if the sleeping villagers had gotten up, and someone was saying something loudly, making it full of noise.
As a warrior, Liang Qu has sharp ears and eyes, so he can hear things more clearly than ordinary people.
"Hey! You bastard, you came here to steal food from me, and you didn't even look at how many eyes Lord Ma has! Fugui, go and catch him for me."
"Master, I'm out of breath, I'm dead."
"Dead? So you can't help but beat me?"
"Sir, you are a martial artist. How can this damn cripple stand up to your hand? He will be killed if he throws out a stick."
"It's really unlucky to die in my yard. Carry it away. Carry it away. Fugui, remember to go and tell the government tomorrow morning. Don't let anyone come and accuse me wrongly."
"Okay, sir."
Liang Qu walked a few steps forward and stood in front of the alley, and saw two people carrying a thin man out.
Strings of blood beads slipped from the ends of the wet hair on the back of the thin man's head and rolled on the stone floor, stained with dust but not broken, like red beans.
The housekeeper who was carrying the corpse saw someone standing at the entrance of the alley, and was about to yell at him to go away. Suddenly he saw the navy blue Xiangyun official uniform on Liang Qu's body through the moonlight, and immediately stopped talking with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Sir, don't get me wrong. You've seen it. When Yin Ye entered someone else's house, he was not a traitor or a thief. We will take care of this matter."
Liang Qu didn't say anything, just left from the alley entrance.
The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his temples and breathed a sigh of relief, almost thinking that some official was coming to rip him off.
The barking of dogs gradually subsided, and the candle-lit windows were extinguished one by one.
The bartender looked around and patted his thigh.
"Hey, where's that ugly guy? I haven't paid for the drinks yet!"
one two three.
The third one this month.
Liang Qu walked on the road and counted silently.
April 8th, only eight days had passed in the entire month, but it was already the third thief he had seen beaten to death.
This is what I have seen, but there is more that I have not seen.
This is the situation in the past.
It is really possible for a man with hands and feet to find a job to make a living.
Without food, people cannot starve to death, and there will be more people taking advantage of the situation.
The Dashun law does not respect human rights. In the era without electric lights, if you really encountered a murderer, you would have been cut into half the time it took to light a candle, so killing was not prohibited at all.
Even if the thief is caught, the master will most likely not report it to the official, but will have his servants beat him to death by pressing his head to scare the monkeys.
The arrival of the victims is just the beginning. The crime rate in Pingyang County is rising sharply.
It's a pity that Liang Qu can't do anything.
Not to mention that he is not the county magistrate, even if he is, he does not have the ability to govern the place.
Food cannot be produced out of thin air.
"We need a dog at home, and Black Teeth's pup would be a good one."
There are a lot of valuable things at home, and the clothes in the cabinet are all valuable.
Normally, the groom would be at home watching over the horse. The thirteen-year-old was enough to feed the horse, but he wouldn't be able to handle it if something happened.
It happened that the black teeth at Master Yang's house were in heat at the beginning of March. Last time I went to see them, several female dogs had bulging bellies.
Counting the days, the cub will be born in early May. Then he will pick out a strong cub and come back.
early morning.
There were ripples in the pool in the courtyard.
The fat catfish popped up with a puff of duckweed on its head, its big eyes rolling around.
"Ah Fei?"
Liang Qu put down Fu Bo and wiped the sweat from his morning exercise, wondering why Fat Catfish came to see him so early in the morning.
The fat catfish shook its beard, raised its head, and spat out half of a dark blue broken knife at the edge of the pool.
"Did you find anything good again?"
The fat catfish shook its head and spit a series of bubbles in the water.
"Oh? Did your big brother Toad give it to you?"
Ever since he discovered the undercurrent tunnel with easy access and worshiped Toad as his big brother, Fat Catfish would visit him every once in a while.
Last night, Fat Catfish wandered around in a large treasure ship collected by Toad and accidentally found a small cut-off knife.
After being soaked in water for so long, the blade shows no signs of rust, which is very extraordinary.
The toad was not interested in the unsightly broken knife, so the fat catfish brought it back.
Liang Qu walked to the pool and picked up the half-broken knife head.
"What a heavy knife!"
The Can Dao is as wide as the palm of your hand, half a finger thick, and only half a foot long. It is better to call it a blade than a Can Dao, but it weighs at least thirty kilograms.
The location of the fracture was extremely neat, like a wooden pole that had been cut off by someone, leaving only a small section of the blade.
Pressing gently with the pads of your fingers, a small opening quickly opened on the skin, and there was faint bleeding.
Very sharp.
Liang Qu pointed the blade of the broken knife at the sun. Under the morning light, the blade glowed with a dark blue light. Small white dots could be faintly seen in the blade. Then he looked down at the light and shadow reflected on the wall, like blue water waves.
"Water sinks into gold!?"
Liang Qu's eyes flashed.
Water-sinked gold is equal to gold!
If there is a need, it will be more expensive than gold!
I don’t know how much water-precipitated gold is contained in this 30-pound broken knife. It can be conservatively estimated that the content is over 70%.
If it can be refined again, at least two hundred taels of gold and two thousand taels of silver!
The palm-sized blade is worth two thousand taels of silver.
Damn it, which general knife is so expensive?
Liang Qu felt that the thing was hot to the touch, so he hurried to the house to wrap it in black cloth, and then found a wooden box to put it in.
"Well done, Fatty!"
Liang Qu crossed the courtyard without forgetting to praise the fat catfish, and then rode up Chishan to Pingyang County.
In Lu's house, Lu Gang was scolding the new apprentice.
Liang Qu took a look and saw that it was a new face that he had never seen before. He was young and very thin.
Seeing his junior brother coming over, Lu Gang waved his hand, and the new apprentice felt like he was being amnesty.
"The newly recruited apprentice, named Li Yuan, is very talented. He made good use of the hammer for the first time, but he was very frizzy."
Lu Gang explained.
Liang Qu nodded. Senior Brother Lu didn't say much. Most of the time, he hated iron for not being able to become steel.
"Junior Brother Liang is in such a hurry, but is there something urgent?"
Liang Qu shook the wooden box in his hand.
Lu Gang understood, and tacitly led his junior brother to the quiet room, closed the door, and the hustle and bustle outside the door was pushed away like a tide.
"Brother, look at this."
Liang Qu stepped forward and opened the wooden box placed on the table.
The tip of the half-cut knife lay in the black cloth, glowing with dark blue light.
Lu Gang held the small fragment and looked at the sun.
"What a piece of water-sinked gold! Where did you get it, little junior brother?"
"Found in the water."
In the water again!
Lu Gang smacked his tongue, why did he feel that all the good things in the water had been taken away by his junior brother?
After living in Pingyang County for so many years, Lu Gang had never seen anyone make a fortune by fishing out of the water, but Liang Qu fished things back one after another.
"Senior brother, look at it, is this thing worth anything?"
"It's worth it. The content of immersed gold exceeds 80%. Just smelting the material alone contains two thousand taels of silver. Junior brother, do you want to continue to add more plastic? The immersed gold is very adaptable and can be blended with most materials. It can add"
"No plastic added." Liang Qu waved his hand, "Senior brother, if you find it useful, give it to senior brother. Senior brother Lu has helped me so much, and I haven't even repaid Fu Bo's debt."
Lu Gang held the blade and turned it repeatedly between his fingers.
"Are you really going to send me away?"
"really!"
Tungsten gold is not as valuable as immersed gold, but it is not cheap either.
There is also ivory white wood, which is also valuable.
The material alone for the entire Fu Bo was worth several thousand taels, and Liang Qu was not one to take advantage.
If he keeps this blade, he will sell it for money, so it is better to leave it to Senior Brother Lu.
The water-sinking gold was turning between Lu Gang's fingers. This thirty-kilogram blade was no different from a leaf in his hand.
The fusion of sinking gold is very good, and it is very easy to use for plasticizing and repairing.
Thinking of his broken spiritual weapon, if he drags it on any longer, his spirituality will be damaged.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Gang nodded.
"Then I'll accept it."
The material properties of his spirit weapon are very special. For half a year, he has not been able to find raw materials to repair it. Water-sinking gold is already the best solution for non-similar materials.
Seeing Lu Gang accept it, Liang Qu looked slightly happy.
Senior Brother Xu had mentioned to him before that Senior Brother Lu's spirit weapon had broken and it had never been repaired due to material problems.
The biggest feature of immersed gold is that it is highly tolerant and good at repairing weapons, so it is sent here non-stop.
Lu Gang put away the blade and was in a good mood.
"Last time I hunted the sturgeon demon, my master asked me to use the demon skin to make an inner armor for each of you. It was finished two days ago. I originally wanted to find a time to send it over, but you just happened to come over and try it on to see if it fits. "
After a moment, a black matte back armor appeared on Liang Qu. The inner armor felt good to the touch, rustling, soft and breathable, and did not affect his activities at all.
This is a serious monster skin! Benchmark hunting tiger!
If it were a low-level martial arts master named Langyan, the weapons he used could hardly cut him open!
Wearing a divine outfit, coupled with top-notch skills, and possessing martial bones and Yinglong patterns, Liang Qu felt that he couldn't defeat him easily on horseback.
After putting away his inner armor, Liang Qu said goodbye to Lu Gang, who was repairing the spiritual weapon, and went home to pack his things and prepare to go to Fengbu County next door.
This time, the water beast appeared in Wushui Town under the jurisdiction of Fengbu County. Six fishermen have gone missing and eight have been confirmed dead, all of which happened in the past half month.
According to rumors, it is a water demon that looks like a human.
Arm guards, inner armor, a layer of official uniform, a mountain cowhide belt on the outside, and cloud boots on the feet.
Fu Bo, Qing Lang, Xuan Shui Cha
Liang Qu grabbed a black cloak. The cloak given to him by his second senior brother was very useful, but it was a pity that he could no longer wear it. The weather was getting warmer in April and it was too hot to wear the cloak.
He stuffed the cloak back into the cabinet, took off a belt badge and hung it around his waist.
Hebo's waist badge is indispensable, and proof of identity when going out will intimidate Xiaoxiao.
noon.
"Is the donor going to travel far?"
In the kitchen, the old monk saw Liang Qu and was quite surprised by his attire.
"I'm going out in the next three or four days. If there's anything going on at home, please help me take care of it, master."
The old monk clasped his hands together.
"That's right."
At Shangrao Pier, Liang Qu put away his things and untied the boat rope.
The area of the county is not standard. Most of it is divided according to the mileage traveled by galloping warriors running in a fixed direction for a day and night. It is very huge.
Liang Qu took a shortcut by taking the water route, but it would still take a day and a half. Then he would look for traces of the water demon in Fengbu County, which would take about three or four days and half a day.
As for the five-headed water beast.
Liang Qu thought for a long time and decided to let Yuan Tou stay and take away all the remaining four beasts.
On the one hand, Yuan Tou has to take care of the young finless porpoise; on the other hand, Liu Yuan Tou can serve as a senior liaison in the local area.
It is smarter than the four beasts.
Through the spiritual connection, Liang Qu can know the situation in Pingyang County at any time, and by the way, Yuantou can take over the work of Fat Catfish and other beasts, so as not to leave the Fish Gang idle.
In this way, Liang Qu can be said to be fully armed.
In the lotus water area, apart from Awei on the wrist, the remaining four beasts including the little finless porpoise all surfaced.
The fat catfish was very excited. It was his first time to go out.
He held a few lotus root sections in his fist and put them into the boat. They were the lotus root sections with the most water and essence.
"Yuantou, the family depends on you. When fishing, just follow the example of fat catfish and them. Don't hold on when you are in danger. The most important thing is to protect yourself and the river porpoises."
Yuan Tou called out several times to reassure Liang Qu.
Liang Qu had confidence in Yuan Tou's wisdom. He put two sets of "fish saddles" on the bodies of the immobile and fat catfish, and put a length of rope on his fists.
The fat catfish and its long tail that cannot be shaken move away from the water waves and use their strength to move forward.
The wind is getting stronger, leaving no trace across the water.
The entire ship was moving forward rapidly, driven by two water beasts, with a big crab hanging at the end.
Fengbu County, let’s go!
