Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Chapter 144: Yin-Yang Drums Help to Nourish the Soul, and Doctor Qu Seeks for a Mount

As the night wind blew, the cat demon corpses that had been devoured of their blood, energy and essence began to decay and scatter. Then, washed away by the rain, they mixed with the mud and water and flowed in all directions.

Liu Qing looked at this scene and felt so angry that his teeth itched.

I originally thought that if I could devour and refine these hundreds of cat demon corpses, I would be able to raise my own realm in one fell swoop.
He was pushed to the stage of Lianxu Hedao, but who would have thought that the old beggar woman would self-destruct by sacrificing her blood to the Dharma.

Such a huge harvest, and it was gone just like that. How can I not feel hatred?

You have ruined Master Liu's plans, and Master Liu will definitely wipe out your entire clan.

"Shui'er, have you caught them all?"

The old beggar woman used the divine token to escape with the remaining wild cats of all sizes in the tribe. How could Liu Qing not make preparations? He had already notified the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast to chase them through the master-servant contract.

"Master, we've caught them all, not one less."

"Throw them all into the east river and let them drown. Their bodies will be used to pay the debt."

All the wild cats that escaped, big and small, were either unintelligent or had just become spirits. Even if they were all swallowed up and refined, they would not be worth a low-grade river treasure.

Liu Qing looked down on it, so he had Shui'er throw it into an unnamed ditch to feed the fish and shrimp.

At this point, all the culprits of this mission were killed. Liu Qing and Hong Gu looked at the jade sceptre, thinking that there would be a reward.

Unexpectedly, the jade sceptre was empty, but the task it issued was still there.

Liu Qing thought for a moment and said, "The mission says we need to find the cause and resolve it properly. I guess we haven't done a good enough job on the word 'properly'."

"Guess so."

Today, the way of heaven is unclear and the secrets of heaven are in chaos. I never thought that the jade scepter representing the authority of the gods would have such sharp eyes.

"Although the laws of heaven are unclear and the secrets of heaven are chaotic, the Incense God's Token and the Authority God's Jade Scepter, which serve as the eyes and ears, can transmit what happens in the lower realm to the heavens."

After all, Hong Gu was born in Donghai and had seen a lot more than Liu Qing. After thinking about it, she gave an explanation.

Liu Qing secretly noticed that if he did anything against the will of heaven in the future, he would have to avoid Sister Honggu's jade scepter. Suddenly, he thought again that his own divine token was evolved by himself and was not subject to the will of heaven, so he should not have to worry about it, right?
Next time, find an opportunity to try it out.

Now that he had guessed the reason, he had a solution. Liu Qing wiped his mouth and took out the Yin-Yang Harmony Drum that he had just stored in the Yin God's body for warming.

Since completely refining it, Liu Qing has fully understood the function of this spiritual treasure.

In fact, from the name of Lingbao, we can guess its main function, which is to beat the drum and urge the creatures to reproduce.

This treasure was in the hands of Jinghe Luang Pu before. It seems that Luang Pu's mother Jinghe also relied on the function of this magical treasure.

Immediately, Liu Qing threw the Yin-Yang Harmony Drum into the nameless river ditch, and used the river water as a drumstick to beat the spiritual drum.

With the sound of drums, a faint pink scent spread into the water. As the pink scent spread, the fish and shrimps that had been living in a few water holes in a state of panic all day long,
They surfaced excitedly, looking for their own kind. Once they found a member of the opposite sex, they would rush over to do good things, regardless of whether the other person was beautiful or ugly.
In an instant, in the water hyacinths, duckweed, algae, and reeds in the nameless ditch, various species of fish and shrimp began to plow the fields.

Hong Gu glared at Liu Qing with a red face, turned her head away, and caught a glimpse of Shui'er watching intently from the corner of her eye, so she quickly pulled her over.

"What are you looking at, little kid?"

"Madam, what are they doing? Why can't Shui'er see?"

Liu Qing was a little surprised. The Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast was born a hundred years ago. Although according to the lifespan of its species, it was only equivalent to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old human girl,

But girls of her age in this world would already know about matters between men and women, so why does she still know nothing about it now?
Perhaps, because it was just born, it was sealed in the treasure cave of Lingbao by the old dragon of Jinghe River and had no contact with the outside world.

"Last night my husband pounded the grain, and in the morning my wife cooked porridge. Day and night it goes on like this. Why should I worry about the incense?"

Liu Qing blinked, smiled mischievously, and recited a crooked poem. Shui'er immediately looked at him with admiration: "Master, what a good poem! You are so amazing—"

Hong Gu spat and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on Liu Qing's waist, twisting it again and again.

The fish and shrimps were busy embracing each other and mating. Under the influence of the yin and yang, they almost forgot their tiredness, and they changed one after another over and over again.
But after all, the number was too small. Liu Qing thought about it and went back to Liupan River. He used his water control ability to roll up countless fish, shrimps, turtles, crabs, eels, loaches, snails and clams, and moved them to the nameless river.
The Yin-Yang Harmony Drum was beaten again, causing the newly migrated aquatic creatures to begin reproducing.

The jade scepter shone with golden light at just the right moment. When the light faded, a scroll appeared, emitting a mysterious aura that captivated the imagination. Seeing that the reward for completing this mission was a scroll, Hong Gu exclaimed in surprise, appearing quite surprised.

Liu Qing was a little puzzled: "Sister, what is this?"

"The scrolls of Dharma transmission contain magic or supernatural powers. They are a reward from the Heavenly Court to the gods of incense or authority in the lower realms."

"Didn't the Heavenly Court ban all demon cultivators' cultivation techniques? Why would they grant it?"

As soon as he asked this question, Liu Qing felt that his IQ was a little low. The Heavenly Court was a collection of techniques that prohibited all demon cultivators from practicing.
But after becoming the God of Incense or the God of Authority, and being incorporated into the Heavenly Court system, he is no longer a wild demon cultivator, but a member of the Heavenly Court.

Hong Gu glanced at the sky. Perhaps because of the recent catastrophe in the world, the way of heaven was unclear and the secrets of heaven were in chaos, so she had fewer concerns.

She first swallowed the jade sceptre, which represented the status of a seventh-rank god, but was actually the eyes and ears of the heavenly court,
Just now he said: "The Heavenly Court orders the incense gods and authority gods of the lower world to kill and slaughter all the demon cultivators in the mountains and wilds once they find that they are practicing magic and scriptures, trying to castrate the demon cultivators' rebellious nature of not obeying discipline and pursuing freedom.
But the underworld is so vast and boundless that the incense god, a mere spy, cannot possibly take care of it. Besides, the incense god has low combat power and is no match for some powerful forces."

"For example, the East Sea where my sister comes from doesn't dare to openly oppose the Heavenly Court, but privately they also ignore this ban. In the East Sea, and even in the four seas, the many dragons under their command can learn magic techniques at will by simply setting up a formation to isolate and detect them."

"If Heaven wants to ban it, then let them ban it. However, a powerful force like our Four Seas, which dominates the lower realms, has long since taken it lightly. The dragon descendants have never lacked the collection and cultivation."

"However, we still have to consider the face of the Heavenly Court. After learning it, we must remember that it cannot be used unless it is on the verge of life and death."

Liu Qing suddenly realized that this was the case. It made sense. If Heaven wanted to ban something, the God of Authority would only obey orders and not announcements. Naturally, he would not obey Heaven's orders too much, so he could only use the God of Incense in the Lower Realm to supervise.
The incense gods have low combat power and low status. They are powerless in the face of some powerful forces in the lower realms such as the Four Seas Dragon Clan. Moreover, they dare not go to the East China Sea and shout about the forbidden collection.

The Heavenly Court also knew about this, but could only acquiesce and write it down in a small notebook, waiting to find a fault in the future and then explode it all at once.
The Jinghe River Dragon King clan a hundred years ago, and the Weihe River Dragon King being beheaded some time ago, must have had this reason behind it.
Small mistakes were punished severely, and the issue was exploited to scare the dragon tribes of the four seas, and to warn other forces by killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

Such as the Yellow River carp clan, the ghost of the pole, the three mountains and five peaks, the seven great saints of the demon clan, etc.

After understanding all this, Liu Qing sighed in his heart. He said that banning all the collections in the world was nothing more than bullying the rural demon cultivators who had no background.

There is no other reason, it’s just because of lack of strength and weak fists.

Liu Qing also looked up at the sky and sneered. In the future, there will be changes of dynasties in the world and the disasters will become more and more severe. I am afraid that this ban will become a decoration.

That’s good too, it will be beneficial to me. Liu Qing is happy to see it happen and is looking forward to it.

Hong Gu put away the scroll and did not give it to Liu Qing right away. She said she would wait for some time until the heavenly secrets became more chaotic and then give it to Liu Qing.
In addition, she will also pass on the Taoist magic skills she learned in the East China Sea to Liu Qing.

In this regard, Liu Qing once again felt the benefits of being a gigolo.

The mission was successfully completed. Shui'er was called over. Liu Qing hugged Hong Gu and rode on her. When they were about to leave,

Suddenly, I heard a ballad from Chu coming from afar.

The two men stopped and waited for the singing to get closer. Then they looked and saw that it was Qu Yuan, the water god.

Qu Yuan's Water Spirit Officer is a fifth-rank incense god. His base of deification is in Chu, on the Miluo River. This time, he was temporarily assigned by the Heavenly Court to preside over the Jing River Sacrifice.
The river sacrifice ended long ago. The old man said he was leaving, but why hasn’t he left yet?

Liu Qing and Hong Gu exchanged a glance and bowed slightly to Qu Yuan. In Qu Yuan's eyes, Liu Qing was nothing special, but a country snake demon was not worthy of his attention.
But Hong Gu's true form was a dragon fish, born in the East China Sea, and possessed the authority of a seventh-rank god. Faced with Hong Gu's greeting, she did not dare to be arrogant and quickly returned the greeting.

After the two sides exchanged greetings and a few pleasantries, they got straight to the point: "May I ask, Lord God, why don't you return to Chu?"

"I'm not worthy of the young lady's call of 'God'. I'm ashamed. I originally planned to leave Qin and return to Chu after the river sacrifice, but I didn't realize the journey was too long. I couldn't stand the travel, so I decided to find some strength here before returning."

So that's how it is. The old man was planning to look for a mount in Qin, but he didn't know that the unlucky guy would be chosen by Qu Yuan.

Because of his past life, Qu Yuan had always hated the people of Qin. If he became his mount, he would probably have a hard time and be beaten and scolded at any time.

Qu Yuan only talked with Hong Gu and ignored Liu Qing beside him. Liu Qing naturally would not try to please someone who was not his friend, so he ignored him.

After explaining the reason, Qu Yuan wanted to make friends with Hong Gu, so he invited her to go to the Dharma Realm with him to offer sacrifices.

When faced with a powerful and righteous god, there is no god of incense that does not want to make friends with him.

As if sensing Liu Qing's confusion, Hong Gu explained, "The Dharma Realm of Sacrifice is sacred, and its descendants reside there. It's as vast as the universe, and is filled with numerous living beings. It's quite mysterious."

Liu Qing thought to himself, if one person becomes a god, all his family members will ascend to heaven. After all human beings, demon cultivators, and spirit beasts become gods, they will all enjoy the happiness with their wives, children, and elders.
Therefore, after countless years of accumulation, the number of women, children, and grandchildren brought over by these sacred people alone is incalculable.
