Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 1107 Give It Here! (Two Chapters Combined)

Hantai Mansion, Huangni Lane.

Over time, the accumulated trampling has compacted the soil of the alley, giving it an oily sheen that shines brightly in the sun.

In the small courtyards beside the alley, there is a well built of blue bricks, three feet off the ground, with a few withered tree branches intertwined and covering the well opening.

"Crack!"

The wet satchel snapped off a dead branch, was thrown out of the well, hit the ground and kicked up dust, then its two hairy claws hooked onto the blue bricks. With a forceful leap, the black shadow soared, tumbling two and a half times in the air before kneeling on one knee.

Water droplets trickled down to the ground, turning the yellow soil brown.

"Ah!"

Otter sneezed twice, shivered, and grabbed his bag.

During the plum rain season in Pingyang, it is hot and humid, while in Hantai Prefecture it is not hot, but extremely dry.

Grab a hair and twist it to squeeze out the water. Apply it to the tip of the nose to moisturize. The otter looks around and finds a mound of earth in the corner. It digs away the yellow soil and reveals a large, dark hole.

He shook the water off his head and crawled into the hole.

"Pee-pee! Pee-pee!"

Wait a while.

"Pee-pee! Pee-pee!"

Repeatedly.

"Pee-pee! Pee-pee!"

There was finally a response from inside the cave. Otter opened his eyes with joy and started beeping loudly.

After about half an hour, a rustling scraping sound came from the burrow. A plump marmot half-ran, half-walked, its whole body jiggling, crawled out of the burrow. Halfway out, it suddenly stopped, twisted left and right twice, scraping some dirt off the burrow wall. The marmot stretched out its paw forward, and the other marmot happily understood, grabbed the other's paw, and pulled hard.

"Boom!"

The soil at the entrance of the cave was broken.

The otters and marmots rolled together.

The marmot shook off the dust, pulled up Otter Kai, and raised its paw in salute. Otter Kai nodded slightly in return, rummaged in its satchel, pulled out a sealed bamboo tube, held it out with both hands, and solemnly handed it to the marmot.

The marmot tucked the bamboo tube into its bosom, gave another salute, turned, and burrowed into the dark hole. Halfway in, it revealed its large rear end, its furry tail spinning rapidly, stirring up swirling dust.

Otter understood again, lowered his body, took a running start and sprinted, and kicked out!
Bang!
Like a bowling ball rolling out, there was a series of loud clattering sounds inside the black hole, until the cave fell into a long silence.

"Pee-pee!"

mission completed!

The otter patted the dust off its palms and went back to the well.

"Pfft!"

Two drops of water splashed out.

Without anyone noticing!

Pale yellow five-petaled flowers bloom all over the grassland, their stems bending low in the vast wind. Suo Yuqin, riding a Tibetan bear, twitched her ears and raised her hand to stop Hu Lixin and Zhedan.

"Crack, click, click."

A hundred meters in front of the three, a mound of earth suddenly rose up.

The earthen mound was crooked and twisted, with many branches branching out at a certain point, spreading out like chicken claws. Finally, it found its way and sneaked under the paws of the Tibetan bear.

puff!
The clods of earth rolled away, and the marmot, with the Tibetan bear's paw on its head, forcefully pried the paw aside, crawled out of the soil, grabbed the bamboo tube, and started hitting the Tibetan bear's nose, squeaking and howling at it.

"How did you get so fat? Can you even crawl out of the hole you dug before?" Suo Yuqin pinched the marmot's cheek, squeezing out a circle of flesh on its face.

Unable to break free, the marmot tapped the bamboo tube in its hand, shoved it into Suo Yuqin's hand, and then, taking her by surprise, plunged into the ground, leaving a mound stretching for more than ten meters before disappearing without a trace.

"Is this news from the imperial court?" Zhedan asked.

Suo Yuqin turned the bamboo tube to the front, revealing a "川" (Chuan) character.

"It is the Marquis of Xingyi!"

……

Ling Xuan and the others wandered around Blue Lake, and were usually nowhere to be found. Meeting them required arranging an appointment ten days or even half a month in advance.

After confirming that Otter had delivered the message, Liang Qu continued the conversation in the study.

"Has Sui Hongyan of the Demon Suppression Division already gone into seclusion?"

Xu Yuelong, Ran Zhongshi, Xiang Fangsu and others lay or sat down, scooping ice cream with spoons.

“Yes.” Ran Zhongshi nodded. “I heard from others that his medium is the easiest to find. Before August this year, they should all be able to absorb qi. Before September or October, we will officially begin our operation.”

With a gap of almost four months, Liang Qu thought, "I have more than enough time to go to the Great Snow Mountain."

"Where is the Ghost Mother Cult located?"

"We have no clue at the moment."

Ran Zhongshi had a headache.

The crackdown plan decided at the beginning of the year has yielded no results after six months, with absolutely no clues about the Ghost Mother Cult.

Perhaps the Ghost Mother Sect's overreach in wiping out the Huaiyin Martial Arts Hall last time deeply wounded their pride, leading them to adopt an even more defensive strategy.
"If we could kill an ancestor, that would be great. If an ancestor dies, he will definitely need the Embryo Pearl Pill to revive. He can't just stay put. Once he moves, there will be clues, and once there are clues, things will be easier."

"Any news about the white ape?"

I'll ask about it another day.

Liang Qu tapped the table with his index finger.

No need to say anything.

He does indeed have news about one of his branch families.

However, while it's true that Patrick Star can eavesdrop on the Ghost Mother Cult's activities, he can't block "Netizen," leaving the Ghost Mother Cult completely blind.

Since the last surprise attack using monsters, the netizen has taken their monitoring of the eastern waters to a whole new level. Once the river and lake bureau's boats enter, they are under 24-hour surveillance.

If we're going to fight, we must fight a blitzkrieg; quality over quantity.

Furthermore, to avoid other places from sending Zhenxiang or even self-destructing Martial Saints to provide support, they must withdraw after the battle. In this case, the transportation of supplies will become a major problem, and it is absolutely not possible to leave it to the Great Ancestor of Dali to take over.

Otherwise, weakening the Ghost Mother Cult might just clear obstacles for the Great Li and benefit others.

It's better to let the dogs fight each other.

"By the way, where is Ke Wenbin? I haven't seen him. Did he go out on a boat?" Liang Qu looked around.

"He's getting married in the capital on June 27th, didn't you know?" Xiang Fangsu scraped the bottom of the bowl clean, held the spoon in her mouth and mumbled, "He even asked you for the blood pearl. He took a long leave yesterday and went back to work."

"Oops, I almost forgot." Liang Qu scratched his temple.

Yesterday was the River God Festival, and today is June 7th. I contacted Ling Xuan, and it will take a total of fifteen days, until June 23rd. On the surface, it will take three days to travel from Pingyang to the capital, and one day on the 24th.

Ok.

It is compact.

in time.

It won't take a day to deal with the old lord.

They chatted about official business until lunchtime. Some went home for dinner, while others ate at the canteen. Liang Qu himself would definitely go home to eat with his wife, and he could eat three more bowls of rice.

Go up to the fourth floor to the study to get the documents.

The young man, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed down.

"grown ups!"

"It's you?" Liang Qu looked him up and down. "What is it?"

Yi Zhiyu!
The former guardian of the top-tier treasure fish of the Great Swamp, the Ghost Mother Cult member Meng Baihuo, originally belonged to the Yi family lineage. After being discovered by the Ghost Mother Cult, he was skinned alive as punishment. After being rescued by the "White Ape," he turned around and exposed the Ghost Mother Cult's position, thus redeeming himself.

After that, he stayed at the Hebo Office as a clerk, working under Liang Qu.

Because of his unpopular background, Yi Zhiyu had a low profile in the river police station, and was just a menial worker.

During the initial proliferative phase of skin growth, the face appears terrifying, and the child stops crying at night. After about half a year, it stabilizes and, apart from slight redness, there are no other special features.

Yi Zhiyu bowed deeply without saying a word, his gaze fixed on the main hall.

Liang Qu understood immediately and pushed open the door: "Alright, come in and talk."

"Thank you, sir!" Yi Zhiyu stepped over the threshold, quickly closed the study door, locked it, and got straight to the point, "Captain, there are spies from the Ghost Mother Cult in the River and Lake Garrison!"

Liang Qu remained calm: "Who?"

"Zheng Laosan, who feeds the horses in the stable! His wife delivers vegetables to the kitchen of the river and lake administration every morning. I have been observing him for a long time. At the beginning of the year, when you came to the yamen and Ran Zuo led the search for warships, he became restless and went to the Qingjiang Shipyard that day. After that, he intentionally or unintentionally approached the registrar and chatted with him!" Yi Zhiyu said with certainty.

Liang Qu recalled for a moment: "It must have been late February or early March, right?"

There was a full three-month gap in between.

“I couldn’t be sure until the day before yesterday! I saw him go into the reeds with my own eyes, and he came out less than fifteen minutes later. He must have sent some message! I’m willing to stake my life on it!”

Liang Qu tapped the table with his index finger, lost in memories.

He possessed the "Eye-Recognition Method," and often brought Chishan to the stables without noticing anything unusual.

"Cult members of the Ghost Mother Cult?" Yi Zhiyu shook his head: "They should be ordinary people who have been bewitched by the Ghost Mother Cult and want to be sold for a good price."

Liang Qu understood.

Such people don't necessarily have any deep hatred for the riverbank or the Da Shun regime. Money can move people's hearts, and they are the same to everyone; they simply want to make money.

If you don't offend the other party, the "Eye Recognition Method" may not necessarily be useful.

"Furthermore, Your Excellency just went to the yamen today, and I haven't had a chance to speak with you yet," Yi Zhiyu added.

Liang Qu asked curiously, "While I'm not here, you can speak with Ran Zuo and the others."

Yi Zhiyu shook his head: "I'll tell others that this matter has nothing to do with you, sir."

Whoever brings this up deserves the most credit!
The four mountains of Huaidong River and Lake Management Office.

Su Guishan concurrently served as the prefect, appearing only briefly and never returning.

Wei Lin is like a fiery mountain, stubborn, cruel, and unemotional. Although he promotes the capable and demotes the mediocre, working under him is extremely stressful.

Xu Yuelong appears kind and lush, a stark contrast to Wei Lin. In reality, he treats everyone the same way, making friends but not truly connecting with them. He is most concerned with factional relationships, has many second-generation subordinates, and regularly holds small gatherings. Although he has no childhood friendships with them, he has opportunities for promotion, but they never come to him.

Those within the mountain naturally thought Xu Yuelong was good.

Those outside the mountains would only think that neither mountain is a good place.

His conversion to the Ghost Mother Cult is even more significant than that of someone from outside the main sect!

Liang Qu alone rose to become the fourth major power, and because of his rapid promotions, there were many vacancies under his command, so all the functions were filled by people from the Dragon Clan, which is why the system was able to continue operating.

Most importantly, he has a bright future!
Such a genius rarely gets stuck in one place or at one time. His personal experience dictates that he believes he can obtain what he wants through his own abilities! He will not care about the contributions of his subordinates; theoretically, he will only seek the greatest benefits.

Whether it's due to factional affiliation or past experiences.

Reporting the news to Liang Qu is the best option, without exception!

"I see, you go down."

"Yes!"

Yi Zhiyu respectfully withdrew.

A spy...

Liang Qu was surprised by this unexpected joy.

As for why it took three months to tell, the reason being that the news couldn't be disseminated without going to the government office, it's probably all a lie.

The three-month gap is mostly due to the different weight of the contributions. Suspecting a colleague and providing solid evidence are two different kinds of contributions. Telling yourself this is to gain points and show loyalty.

The approach that maximizes profits.

Nothing wrong with that.

Liang Qu often did the same thing.

Having been officially recognized by the Ghost Mother Cult, Yi Zhiyu's identity is awkward, and he must be extremely eager to prove himself.

After pondering for a while, Liang Qu walked into the Jianghuai Marshland, jumped to the southeast border, and contacted Pai Xiaoxing, asking it to prepare to "land" and see if the Ghost Mother Cult had any recent activities.

The giant fish, manipulated by Jinmu, bit off several segments of "Net Master's" tentacles from different places and connected them to Pai Xiaoxing.

"A small boat, heading west?"

Aside from that, there wasn't much useful information.

The Ghost Mother Cult does not discuss its specific plans with "Netizens".

but……

Westward journey?

He also planned to travel west.

Are they planning something underhanded?
Liang Qu was secretly on guard.

"No, we need to prepare more."

Pingyang Mountain.

"Master, do you have any more supernatural power tokens?"

The old monk waved his hand, arranging three short poems.

Three Golden Body Divine Power Tokens, obtained!
Ningjiang Prefecture.

"Little Stone, did your King Yue give you a new jade pendant? Ha! New arrivals? Look, your master has ten Zhenxiang Small Tokens here. I'll trade you this one today. You'll make a killing!"

"Master, I'm not a child anymore!"

"Oh dear, once your master becomes a Martial Saint, all the jade tokens he produces will be left to you! Now, let's call it an investment!"
Hey! You little brat! Why won't you listen to me? You're so unfilial! I showed you the blue cat and brown mouse for nothing, give them back to me!

Homemade Golden Body Short Scripture - 10.

Yue King Jade Plaque +1.

After the Battle of Beiting, Liang Qu had three martial arts techniques left: two from the old monk's small token, and one from the Yue King's jade tablet. Oh, this one also came from Wen Shiyun.

In summary, the number of short poems by the old monk has increased to five, and the number of jade tablets of the King of Yue has increased to two!

"It's a pity I don't have the money to buy it."

Liang Qu felt that, based on the timeline, the King of Yue should have two unused jade pendants, but unfortunately, the King of Yue's jade pendants were too expensive, costing nearly 50,000 each, and he had no money left.

"That should be enough."

Liang Qu grabbed his belt and shook it.

On the left are five thumb-sized tokens, on the right are two jade plaques, and there are also seals of marquises, captains, light carriages, Shoushan stone seals, and bloodthirsty divine powers, all piled up, like a landlord's keychain.

My sense of security has increased dramatically!
After thinking for a moment, Liang Qu adjusted the position of the marks, hanging the official seal and the supernatural power token on his lower back, while the martial saint's methods were placed on the left and right sides, which were the easiest to access.

"okay!"

……

The time available to take action was more than expected. Ling Xuan and the others were not far from Hantai, so Liang Qu was not kept waiting for fifteen days.

June 19th.

Without anyone in Pingyang Prefecture knowing, Liang Qu jumped into the pond in his backyard, and when he jumped out, he was already in the small courtyard where otters and marmots were exchanging messages!

at this time.

There were two people standing in the courtyard.

One is Ling Xuan, and the other...

"Hey, Huai Kong! What are you doing here?" Liang Qu asked in surprise.

Huai Kong: "..."

A golden light flashed, and Awei returned to Liang Qu's wrist.

The wind blows the leaves.

The three of them squatted at the well opening and discussed something.

Liang Qu stroked his chin: "You mean, after the New Year's debate, there were a total of twelve attacks, three of Sangjie's disciples died, and it was found that they used public opinion to disrupt the Lotus Sect's Water and Land Dharma Assembly in Hantai Prefecture, and drove Sangjie back to the Great Snow Mountain."

You then took over the Lotus Sect's place, organized a Dharma assembly at the Hanging Temple, established three temples, accepted seven disciples, and changed some of the customs of Hantai.

During this time, Ling Xuan and his group encountered a problem with the scriptures in the Hidden Cave and found you. The Hidden Cave had already been deciphered beforehand, and you obtained the "Hidden Treasure Technique"?

Huai Kong nodded.

"You're quite something." Liang Qu gave a thumbs up. "The Buddhist disciple of the Hanging Temple lives up to his reputation! In just half a year, you've accomplished so much. I originally wanted you to come back from the debate, but you didn't say anything, so I thought you had a plan to stay at Hantai and do something practical. And it turns out that's exactly what happened!"

Huai Kong: "..."

The hidden cave is also one of the secret positions set up by the Lotus Sect.

Rumor has it that it contains the relic of a martial saint, fragments of a mysterious weapon, and a manual called "Hidden Treasure Technique".

The legendary furnace-level martial arts technique!
Originally, Ling Xuan and the others wanted to take Liang Qu with them on the exploration, but they kept putting it off. Now, before Liang Qu has even set foot there, everyone has already taken out their rewards!

Ling Xuan asked, "What about Marquis Xingyi? I heard that the Immortal Island in the Clouds has appeared. He must have been extremely busy these past six months, right?"

"Me? Sigh, let's not even talk about it. I've just had bad luck." Liang Qu sighed. "The emergence of the Immortal Island in the Clouds attracted the Whale King ahead of time. As the Commandant of the Huai River, I had to entertain him, right? As a result, I missed several days of enlightenment opportunities. My Qi Sea could have grown a lot. Nothing else happened. I just had to gather my Qi. Oh, and later I did have an enlightenment. I achieved oneness with heaven and man."

Ling Xuan and Huai Kong: "..."

“It’s all in the past, there’s nothing to say. Let me see the ‘Hidden Treasure’!” Liang Qu reached out his hand.

Huai Kong pulled a booklet out of his pocket.

Liang Qu flipped through the document and glanced at it, asking as he looked, "What about the other Martial Saint Relic and Xuanbing Fragment? Did you get them?"

Ling Xuan shook his head: "The Hidden Technique is engraved on the cliff wall. We copied it down. The rest of the items are entangled with evil energy and placed in the central room. For the past half month, Jian Zhongyi has been here to dismantle the hidden stakes. Afterwards, we will have to rearrange the disguise."

"What a coincidence." Liang Qu closed the booklet. "Lord Ling, there's something I need to trouble you with."

"what?"

"Take me to the Hidden Cave later, I want to meet with Jian Zhongyi."
