Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 52: Water Turtle Plate
Liu Qing mentioned that the reproduction of eels in Xiaolugou is difficult to continue.
Liu Qing also mentioned that the garrison had responsibilities and the obligation to expand the territory for the Water Palace.

Finally, Liu Qing took out five pounds of high-quality salt and handed it to Grandpa Eel.

No matter how fine the salt is, it cannot be taken by the water eel alone. After all, it is the one who has the lucrative job of going ashore to purchase it.

As for the garrison's responsibility to expand the territory for the Water Palace, such remarks are acceptable in terms of righteousness, but when put into practice, which garrison of the water veins takes it to heart?
Liu Qing brought up this matter simply to use the forgotten slogan as a basis for his actions.

In response, Grandpa Eel rolled his eyes in his heart.

What Grandpa Eel cares about most is the first point Liu Qing mentioned, that is, there are many yellow eels in Xiaolugou, and these yellow eels are currently in the waters under Liu Qing's jurisdiction.

Eels like silt. The more silt there is in the ditch, the more eels can reproduce. Why do you say that Xiaolugou has too much silt and too little water, making it difficult for eels to survive?

Do you think this eunuch doesn't know the reproduction habits of the tribe's children? You are just pointing this eunuch at me.

But the point was just right. Although Eel Master held a high position in the Water Palace, he was not like Liu Qing who was stationed in a single water vein.

It can control a water vein area and command all the fish, shrimp, turtles, crabs and other groups under its command, but it does not have an acre of water under its jurisdiction.

Therefore, in the vast water veins and canals of Dawan Lake, there is still no territory for the eel family to reproduce and thrive. They are scattered in dozens of large and small garrisoned water veins.
Faced with this situation, Grandpa Eel was helpless. He felt a little regretful about his original decision. Otherwise, with his original talent, he might have been stationed in a place and protected the tribe.

Liu Qing's implicit threat made Uncle Eel silent for a long time.

The father-in-law who has lost his ability to reproduce values ​​the clan the most.

Suddenly, it smiled, took the salt handed to it by Liu Qing, and swallowed it.

Then, he quickly wiped his mouth, took out the turtle shell and the demon-shocking drumstick, and handed them over.

"Liu Zushou, this is a magical tool for the great demon of the Water Palace. I came here this time, apart from doing some minor chores, to actually deliver the magical tool to Zushou."

Liu Qing took it with a smile.

A magical instrument that symbolizes the status of a great demon? Xia Kexing had it before, and now he has one too. Although he hasn't reached the level of a great demon in terms of Taoism, his status is already on par with that of a great demon.

The two sides exchanged gifts with each other, and thus, friendship began to grow. I think from then on, everyone became good friends.

The atmosphere instantly became beautiful among the snakes and eels.

When friends came from afar, Liu Qingtian, as the host, should show his hospitality. Later, Liu Qing removed the dead leaves and mud covering the fire.
I lit the bonfire, picked a yellow sheep that had been stored in the mouth bag space, washed and skinned it, and skillfully roasted it into skewers.
The salty and fragrant roasted lamb quickly conquered Grandpa Eel's taste buds, and the atmosphere became lively again.

The address was changed from "Liu the Garrison" to "Liu the Brother", and he said that he would have to bother him again when he went ashore to buy things for the Lord of the Mansion.
At that time, please remember, brother Liu, to add some fishy smell to the taste of today's roasted lamb.

It's because eels like to eat smelly things, especially the yellowish-white smelly earthworms that crawl out of wet mud on rainy days.

An hour later, both the host and the guests were happy and returned home with great satisfaction.

The next day, the sun was warm and the spring breeze was blowing. On the banks around the Snake Pond, there were several old willow trees, and their tender green willow branches swayed in the spring breeze, as if covering the Snake Pond with a layer of green gauze.

The hidden danger of seizing Xiaolugou was completely eliminated. With the consent of the Water Palace Eel Lord and the support of the Western Patrol Shrimp Guest, no one would dare to use this matter against Liu Qing again. Without the hidden danger, Liu Qing was in high spirits. He lazily slumped on the crooked mulberry tree, giving random instructions to Left Hand Brother, White Snake, Short-tailed Water Python and others on the shore.
They continued to collect rock salt, crush it, filter it, and boil it. Every time a pot of salt was boiled, the white snake would bring it to them by carrying a clam shell on its head.

In the end, Liu Qing just opened his mouth and lazily swallowed it into the space of his mouth sac and stored it.

Perhaps because he swallowed too much salt, Liu Qing seemed to have turned into a salted fish. Especially during the day, he was less willing to move and only commanded the monsters under his command.
Work like a slave to accumulate wealth for him.

Of course, he didn't spend the whole day lying on the crooked mulberry tree, basking in the sun and collecting salt. When he was bored, Liu Qing would slowly refine the turtle shell and the demon-shocking drumstick.
Fortunately, it was just a low-grade magic weapon. Even if Liu Qing didn't pay much attention to it, he had completed the initial practice by the afternoon.

At this time, the sun was setting and the warmth was dissipating, but the days were getting longer and longer. It was not dark yet. The moon would not come out until it was dark.
Not in a hurry to swallow the moonlight, while there was still some time, Liu Qing took the turtle shells and the demon-shocking drumstick and cruised along the waterway to Xiaolugou.

Liu Qing was very envious of Brother Zuoshou. Xia Kexing was born with claws on his feet, and he could use them as hands and feet without even transforming.
Unlike me, I am completely naked, and I have to wear a turtle shell to patrol the river, and I need to tie both sides with water chains.

clang--

clang--

Liu Qing floated on the water, half-raising his snake body, with a water chain on his left side tying up the turtle shell, and a water chain on his right side tying up the monster drumstick.

Every few steps, the water chain would be struck, and faint ripples of sound would spread from the center of the river to both banks.
The tigers, leopards, bears and wolves that came to Xiaolugou to drink water felt inexplicably panicked when they heard the noise. They no longer dared to even think about catching some fish or shrimp as snacks.

clang--

clang--

The sound waves from the tortoise shell rippled into the water, and the chaos dissipated. The monsters, whose intelligence had just begun to awaken, were startled from the bottom of the water and involuntarily floated to the surface. They kowtowed to Liu Qing, then flicked their tails and followed from a distance.

Although it is only a low-grade magic weapon, its effect is much more practical than the water-warning order of the same level. It can not only intimidate mountain monsters on land, but also summon underwater monsters.
More importantly, the sounds of the turtle shells and the drumsticks that scare demons indicate that the place where the sound is made is the owner's land.

Liu Qing silently praised in his heart the great demon who invented and refined this set of magic tools.

Patrolling the river with such a treasure is far more civilized and effective than the mountain monsters urinating to mark the territory. How can those rude and stupid mountain monsters compare to us, the smart river monsters!
For no reason, Liu Qing felt a sense of pride in the river monster.

The river patrol took only an hour to complete. Liu Qing put away his magic weapon and returned to Snake Pond. At this time, it was finally dark.

The moon rose and the stars dotted the sky. Liu Qing called out to all the monsters under his command, and they began to collectively absorb and exhale the moonlight.

He opened his mouth and sucked in a large amount of moonlight, which was drawn in and divided into several streams. He kept the big ones for himself and gave the medium ones to White Snake. Then came Brother Zuoshou, the three-tailed scarred carp, the short-tailed water python, and a new monster that he had recruited during his patrol of Xiaolugou River today.

The moon sets and the sun rises, the sun sets and the moon rises, day after day.

On this night, on the fifteenth, the moonlight was as rich as water. Liu Qing opened his mouth and swallowed it, and a vast silver-white silk thread entered his mouth.

The next moment, a strong demonic energy suddenly emerged from the upper end of the snake's body, tearing the snake's scales. Afterwards, the bones grew, the flesh and blood extended, and a pair of hands slowly emerged from the demonic energy.
