Becoming a God Starting from a Water Monkey

Chapter 344: Borrowing Great Merit

“The river collapses three times a year, and everything is white.

Human beings are like sand-headed birds, wandering and living in uncertainty. "

The envoy stood on the shore and chanted leisurely.

Under the dam, the Yellow River rushes to the bank, spraying as thin as rain. The rolled up foam splashes on the flying clothes, and a few dark spots seep out.

The envoy didn't mind the stains. He walked along the bank, accompanied by dozens of officials and staff.

"When I came here, I read Qiu Xianzhi's "Outline of Water Courses", which said, 'The land is winding, and strong winds and huge waves crash under it day and night. It's not just the residents who are in a daze, and they compete with the sea of ​​jellyfish for territory.' What I said today Only when you see what you hear will you know that what you say is true.”

Xu Yuelong said: "Every time the tide loses its old way, the places it passes cannot escape flood disasters. People are displaced, farmland is destroyed, and the land is devastated. This is almost the norm in the middle and lower reaches of the two rivers. Naturally, life has to be harder."

"My lord, the ladder."

The clerk on the dam ran out to lead the way. The envoy nodded slightly and climbed up the embankment along the stairs.

The rebuilt Qiugong Embankment has not yet been completed. Martial artists moved stones and piled materials back and forth, and then the craftsmen assisted in building the dam.

The open river is full of boats transporting materials and tools, creating a busy scene.

The envoy watched for a moment and pointed to one of them: "Why is that man wearing shackles on his feet? Is he serving?"

Xu Yuelong looked around and saw clearly: "No, the envoy doesn't know. This person's name is Lu Xinqing. He was originally a water bandit leader. He was supposed to be imprisoned and executed, but he accidentally helped accomplish two small feats and built a building." If the embankment is short of people, we will put them through labor camps to see the effects.”

"Reeducation through labor?"

"The person who proposed the idea of ​​reform through labor was none other than Liang Qu, and he also gave the water bandit a separate schedule of activities.

The schedule stipulates that every day when the rooster crows, one should get up, give one quarter of an hour to wash up, fold the quilt, and one quarter of an hour to have breakfast, and then recite the Dashun verses loudly for two quarters of an hour, and then participate in the construction of the project.

Excluding lunch and dinner in the evening, there is a two-quarter-of-an-hour rest period in between. This will last until we return to camp at 4:10 p.m. After washing up, we need to write a 500-word experience, and then we can fall asleep at midnight..."

Under the embankment, Lu Xinqing was shirtless, tapping stones. Days of hard work had left his skin tanned and shiny.

Putting down the preliminary polished stone, Lu Xinqing accidentally caught a glimpse of several people on the dam pointing at him, hurriedly bowing and kneeling, showing a flattering smile, and blood oozing from his chapped lips.

The envoy pointed downward and asked with a smile: "It's not uncommon to recite verses. It's interesting to write down your thoughts every day. Who reads it? Liang Qu?"

"That guy is very lazy. He said he knew how to do random checks, but I saw that he never did any checks despite his arrangements. He left everything to the river officials under his command.

It is required that there should be no typos throughout the article, the words must be sincere and meaningful, and no repetition is allowed. Otherwise, you need to go back and rewrite until the writing meets the requirements before you can rest. "

“What would happen if I didn’t write it out for one night?”

"I will work hard tomorrow when the rooster crows, and I will write again that night, and I need to make up for yesterday's share."

The envoy laughed loudly.

Many officials who heard about it for the first time also found it interesting and asked for more details. The more they heard, the more humorous they felt.

Everyone on the embankment burst into laughter. Lu Xinqing didn’t know why, and kept laughing and nodding.

The supervisor's expression was serious: "Why are you laughing? Don't be lazy. It's not your break time yet!"

Lu Xinqing's chest felt tight, and he had no choice but to hit the stone with a hammer.

The envoy continued to watch and briefly inquired about when the Qiugong Embankment would be completed, how the materials would be distributed, whether the flags would be arranged, and other details. Several of his men who had previously been sent to inspect the river bed came back one after another to report.

"Sir, the bed of the Blackwater River has indeed deepened, and a large section of the straight road ahead has been widened to a depth of more than ten feet!"

"The same is true for Dashekou!"

The lowering of the riverbed will leave traces, and a comparison of the before and after can't tell the truth. Several people reported the distance and depth one after another, and the officials on the side used wolf brushes to record the records.

The envoy had no doubts.

There are many cases of auspicious fraud, but I have never heard of the river bed being deepened to be auspicious, especially on such a huge scale.

It's so outrageous, but it seems real.

After inspecting Qiugong Embankment, the envoy climbed down the embankment and turned to look for Wei Lin to explore the situation in Huazhu County.

At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the woods under the dam and went straight into the sky, leaving a faint red mark in the clear sky, followed by a thunderous explosion.

Many of the accompanying officials were startled and looked nervous, thinking that something was going on.

Xu Yuelong could guess who had done something good by looking at the color, and quickly reassured him: "Don't worry, everyone, it's not a big deal if you are just joking!"

The envoy nodded: "This is not the first time I've seen it. It must be Yuanmu Gong. The envoy has come all the way. Wenbin, Kaiyun and the others often use the bows to hunt in the mountains, and the long marks they leave behind are reddish."

As he spoke, a few more scarlet arrow marks were left in the sky.

Xu Yuelong looked embarrassed: "It's funny for adults."

"It doesn't matter, it's a good thing for young people to be energetic, haha."

The other officials gradually felt relieved after hearing the reason.

The people in the envoy group were not surprised and went to get their horses one after another to prepare for inspections in Huazhu County, Jiangling County and Haiyan County.

That night.

Liang Qu found Li Shoufu, the bookkeeper, and handed over five taels of silver.

"Help me copy out all the treasure plants that can be redeemed recently, are worth two to four great powers, and have similar and different characteristics. Aquatic ones are given priority.

Then help me copy the Baozhi that involves thinking, concentrating, meditating, and calming the energy, ranging from one to four great skills. "

After getting the Yuan Qiao Great Pill, Liang Qu naturally wanted to replace all the great skills in his hand and open the Yang Aperture and Zhonggong.

Wait until the extreme state and then prepare to break through the smoke.

As for why you should be thoughtful and calm, Baozhi.

Liang Qu feels that a breakthrough in "Wansheng Baoyuan" is imminent.

The exercises taught by the master are stable and not easy to go crazy. They can exercise the exercises independently at ordinary times and have the effect of prolonging life. Their lethality is weak, but they are not without killer moves.

The previous concentration and inner vision are all auxiliary abilities, but at the third level of concentration, an explosive technique with almost no side effects will be derived.

Li Shoufu took the silver and noticed Liang Qu's slightly trembling arms, his eyes hesitant: "Master Liang, your hand..."

"It doesn't matter, just draw the bow."

Liang Qu shook his arms, feeling sour.

Throughout the afternoon, he, Xiang Fangsu and the others got too carried away, aiming at a low mountain and shooting more than a dozen quivers into the sky, even breaking a corner of the mountain and causing some landslides.

When Li Shoufu heard this, he immediately knew who made the arrow marks during the day.

Today, the martial arts masters in Daliu Camp went crazy, talking about which archery master it was, and the arrows were so terrifying.

Some people guessed that it was Liang Qu. After all, he had shown his bow skills during the suppression of the Ghost Mother Cult.

But not many people agreed, and the power gap at that moment was too big. Some people believed that one arrow could knock a galloping martial artist into two pieces.

I didn't expect it to be true.

Li Shoufu didn't count carefully, but there were at least hundreds of arrows, which were like thunder, leaving long arrow marks. Before dusk came, the sky was already dyed with a layer of red.

"Help me sort it out, the sooner the better."

"Don't worry, Mr. Liang, I'll give it to you early tomorrow morning."

the next day.

Li Shoufu sent a copy of the list.

Liang Qu looked through it carefully.

【Yuye paste】

[Exchange requirement: Great merit]

【King Kong Water Hyacinth】

[Exchange requirements: Two major achievements]

【Morning Dew Insect】

[Exchange requirements: Two major achievements]

【Dry Wind Narcissus】

[Exchange requirements: Three major merits]

Li Shoufu saw Liang Qu reading and thinking: "Master Liang, according to your request, I think it may be possible to exchange for morning dew insects and dry wind narcissus."

As the chief clerk, Li Shoufu roughly knew the amount of great achievements Liang Qu had. He took five taels of silver and didn't mind doing a small favor.

Liang Qu followed the reminder and looked.

【Morning Dew Insect】

[The magical bug is born in the morning dew. After taking it, the essence and energy will be clear and the mind will be peaceful. It will help to understand the breakthrough and increase the energy and blood. It is very rare. 】

[Exchange requirements: Two major achievements]

【Dry Wind Narcissus】

[An aquatic plant growing in the northern desert, shaped like a pale golden narcissus with slender stamens. When exposed to sunlight, it will disguise itself as a dead plant. It can cause small areas of rain to fall during the full moon of each month. It has the effect of praying for rain. Taking it can nourish the muscles and bones, increase Qi and blood, and can also be used as a healing medicine]

[Exchange requirements: Three major merits]

Liang Qu found that the combination of the two was very good, and Li Shoufu had put a lot of thought into it, but he shook his head.

"I don't have five great arts in my hand. My master took one away. Yesterday I exchanged one for martial arts. Now I only have four, but the morning dew insect and dry wind narcissus add up to five."

Li Shoufu was stunned, he didn't expect such a thing.

He thought about it and his eyes lit up.

"Master Liang, since you are familiar with Master Xu and have received the Holy Emperor's oral instructions, why not try to see if you can borrow the great merit in advance?

The performance appraisal of officials is from January to the end of December every year. This year, there are only less than two months left in the year.

With your current achievements, it is not difficult to get an additional merit in the performance appraisal. Maybe you can get it in advance from here? "

Liang Qu raised his eyebrows.

He knew there would be a year-end assessment every year.

The Dashun official department will rank the top positions in each locality based on their performance, and they will receive additional rewards. If their performance is outstanding, they will be recorded as having great achievements.

Especially this ranking is among officials at the same level. Liang Qu's opponent is not the Hengshui envoy or the captain, but other Du Shui Lang.

In the Huaiyin Mansion Hebo, Liang Qu didn't think there was any other Du Shui Lang who could compare with him.

This year's number one spot is a sure bet.

As for whether it's good or not.

Excuse me.

The Holy Emperor’s golden words were personally authenticated.
