Chapter 168 The Spiritual Rain Arrives in Panlong Wasteland
The magistrate of Kuzhu County immediately conferred the title of Hongchuan Shuiling on behalf of King Yuan's court. He took the document and stamped it with a thick fish lip. He then took out the Yuan money and stamped it with the official seal.
After stamping and sealing, the blue light flashed on the big black fish, marking the completion of the process and the birth of a new water spirit.
The soldier then pushed the last piece of fat pig into the water.
The black fish bit it and disappeared into the middle of the pond.
The magistrate of Kuzhu County was also a little tired and came over to express his gratitude to He Chunhua. Without the support of the supporting troops, his formation would not have been so beautiful.
The new water spirit returned to its place, and Hongchuan became much more peaceful. So Fenglingdu could be sailed again, and the merchants waiting nearby boarded the boat happily.
Taking advantage of some free time, He Lingchuan went to Fengling Ferry and walked around, and found a particularly conspicuous old locust tree growing on a sandbank more than 300 feet away from the ferry.
There are many locust trees here, but He Lingchuan's eyes were immediately attracted to it because this tree is really special:
It is lightning strike wood.
This old locust tree was originally very strong. It was surrounded by four people. It has been growing for an unknown number of years. However, it was struck several times by Tian Lei. All the branches at the top fell off and the whole tree almost turned into coke.
.
However, life is so tenacious. The old locust tree's charred and lifeless trunk actually sprouted new buds and grew into new branches...
The new branches and trunks are much smaller than the parent tree, but they are thriving and full of vitality from beginning to end.
He Lingchuan finally knew what the old turtle demon meant by "resurrecting the old locust tree", and he could indeed tell it at a glance.
And it grows on a sandbank, far away from idlers.
He came to the tree and walked around a few times, but he didn't find any tree holes, so he wasn't discouraged.
If the tree hole was discovered so easily by him, it would also be explored by other birds and beasts.
He Lingchuan touched the scorched tree trunk a few times, found the depression at the root of the tree, took a broken knife and started digging sand.
The sandy soil is soft and moderate, and He Lingchuan is dug deeper and deeper.
Soon, he discovered that there was indeed a big hole under the tree root, but it was usually buried under the sand, with only a few crabs taking a nap in it.
He threw the crabs out and threw them away, took out the turtle eggs and put them in. After thinking about it, he got some water plants to cover the turtle eggs, and then placed a small bottle of elixir next to it.
Good people go to the end.
Then, he backfilled the sandy soil to completely cover the tree hole. The water flow would take over the work below and completely smooth the place, leaving no trace of the tree hole as before.
By doing this, he completed the turtle demon's entrustment.
"Just say goodbye." He dusted off the sand on his hands and understood why the turtle eggs had to be hatched here:
This old locust tree can revive with spring, so its vitality must be very strong. This is also the power that the turtle demon needs to rely on to emerge from its shell for the second time.
Perhaps, the turtle demon originally grew up here. After all, the locust tree is much older than it.
At this time, He Yue called to his brother from a distance: "Brother, the boat is sailing!"
"We are destined to meet again. I hope you have found the bright road to practice by then." He Lingchuan patted the scorched wood, got up and left.
The Cingying army also boarded the boat at Fenglingdu and rode the rolling river to Shihuan City.

He Lingchuan stretched and sat up from the bed.
While he was still wandering around the lake, someone outside shouted: "Jie-kou-preach-preach-"
Such a familiar tune.
He almost forgot to take back his outstretched hand. He looked out the window and saw that it was getting dark and the water in the tank was full.
Cylinder?
He remembered falling asleep on the boat, and the last sound he heard came from the waves lapping against the side of the boat rather than the noisy streets.
In other words, he entered Panlong City again, and——
He Lingchuan jumped to the door in three steps and stopped in the middle of the street. Sure enough, what he heard was that the emperor's liquid was coming, and Panlong City was under a three-day curfew starting tonight.
In other words, he received the follow-up to the previous dream?
Incredibly, four days have passed in reality, but less than an hour has passed in Panlong City in the dream!
The time flow rate difference between the two sides is really random.
The sun had set, and he couldn't go anywhere, but there was a wine shop nearby. He rushed in and bought a few jars of wine. When he got home, he poured out the wine and washed it, preparing to serve it.
He then emptied the water tank, took out all the pots, pans, ladles and other containers and placed them in the yard.
He still remembered Hu Min's instructions to cut off two large branches of the tree in the yard to prevent his long arms from extending into his neighbor's property.
As soon as these things were done, there was a noise outside, like countless people cheering.
He Lingchuan walked out of the house and saw that it was raining, Qingyu.
The first time it was raw and the second time it was familiar, he knew that this was Emperor Liujian.
Panlong City's forecasts are so accurate that they can even keep a close eye on such strange celestial phenomena.
What surprised He Lingchuan even more was that the Imperial Liquid Slurry that came down this time was still fragrant and fragrant, but it was far more viscous and darker than in reality, so it could bear the word "slurry".
In reality, the emperor's liquid is just a drizzle, and whoever it falls on is the winner. But here, the emperor's liquid actually reaches the level of light to medium rain. He Lingchuan stretched out his palm and soon received several drops.
Blue rain and dew.
He couldn't help but taste it, it was so delicious!
The greed buried deep in his heart suddenly burst out. But He Lingchuan was experienced and prepared, so he suppressed the impulse and jumped onto the roof.
He turned over the tiles on the house and temporarily connected them into several grooves. More and more slurry accumulated, and slowly flowed down the grooves, and was caught by him with a wine jar.
Although it’s just a trickle, the savings are priceless!
The neighbor also moved two jars and climbed up to the roof of his house to collect the slurry. Seeing his operation, he was greatly inspired and quickly copied the work and went to play with the tiles.
He Lingchuan found that covering his mouth and nose with a towel and smelling less of the peculiar aroma of Emperor's Liquid was very helpful in suppressing the hidden beast's heart, so he quickly followed suit.
Everyone blushed and had thick necks, but they resisted the urge to be greedy and possessive. The emperor's liquid came several times in the past three years. Most people had experience in dealing with it and knew that as long as they resisted for a while, there would be generous rewards later.
He Lingchuan also heard the children crying loudly. He looked down and saw that two families had tied their children to the table to prevent them from running around and disturbing the overall situation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, heavy footsteps passed by the door of He Lingchuan, accompanied by a low roar of filial piety.
He lowered his head and saw that it was a machine beast walking slowly along the street. The shape and size of this thing were like a tiger and leopard, with two eyes glowing green, and it looked a bit scary at first glance.
It seems to be walking with its head buried in the ground, but no matter who is suspected of fighting or quarreling, the machine beast will come close to the wall with its forelimbs, then scratch the door, and let out two roars to scare the residents.
After this machine beast left, another machine beast patrolled here about a moment after burning incense.
So alternately.
If He Lingchuan wasn't struggling with his own greed, he would have wanted to give him a thumbs up and say "thoughtful".
This machine beast must be a security guard released by Panlong City officials to patrol. For them, the most untrustworthy thing is human nature, and the most reliable thing is force.
At this time, no living creature could bear the temptation of the Emperor's Ooze. Only dead creatures like the Machine Beast remained unmoved and continued to perform their original tasks.
The machine beast that can patrol, locate and intimidate on its own is unknown to its powerful hands.
Sure enough, He Lingchuan soon heard the sound of altars being smashed and pots being smashed not far away. Some people were shouting and some were crying. It was unknown who could not bear the extreme desire for the emperor's liquid and started fighting with others.
Human nature cannot be left alone.
The machine beast roared, and He Lingchuan heard its heavy footsteps and quickly moved away.
Several screams soon came from that direction, but then there was no movement. It seemed that the person who did it was punished.
This scene also served as a good warning to the surrounding residents.
As the whole city suffered repeatedly, time passed slowly.
This time the Heavenly Descending Emperor's ooze lasted longer than the last time He Lingchuan experienced it, and it didn't stop completely until Dongfang Jibai.
He Lingchuan scraped off all the sap from the trees, then gathered the bottles and jars that stored rainwater together, and poured them over each other, until a wine bottle was filled with the sap.
After plugging the lid tightly, the fragrance disappeared and the attraction to people disappeared. He Lingchuan took a long breath and wiped the thin sweat from his forehead.
The difficult night was over and everyone began to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Looking at the wine bottle in his hand, He Lingchuan felt a little confused.
The Imperial Liquid obtained from the dream should not have an improving effect on his real body. After all, it is all illusion.
So the wisest thing to do is to hand over what you earned this night and go to the Meritorious Service Department in exchange for credit. Hu Min said that credit is not easy to get, but it can be exchanged for the most precious things.
This heaven-dropped emperor's liquid was his unexpected gain.
Of course, this all needs to be confirmed. He Lingchuan thought for a while and went out with the wine bottle.
The curfew ended after dawn, but few residents came out to move around. Most people still stayed at home and counted the loot. He found a diligent donkey cart to take him to Hu Min's residence.
Along the way, he saw several burned and knocked down houses, as well as city defenders carrying people out or cleaning up the scene.
It seems that even if there are mechanical beasts patrolling, even if Panlong City keeps issuing orders, even if there are severe punishments and laws here, even if the residents of Panlong City have been able to obey orders and prohibitions during the long years of war, human greed will still find a breakthrough.
Hu Min lives in a tin house. Although it is also a private house, it is four levels higher than that of He Lingchuan. The roads here are spacious, the streets are clean and tidy, green trees and red flowers can be seen everywhere, and every household has a small courtyard, which is at least as big as the wooden house in He Lingchuan.
Four times the size, the environment is a few streets ahead of him, but the specifications are very uniform, with black doors, black tiles, and red walls. Even the dimensions are almost the same, as if they were carved from the same mold.
It seems that illegal building construction is not allowed here.
Every street looked the same, and it took He Lingchuan a long time to find Hu Min's house.
This man had just finished refining the Emperor Dispersion. When he opened the door and saw He Lingchuan, he asked strangely: "Aren't you refining the medicine so early?"
"How about I exchange the imperial liquid with you for some refined medicine? Just take a small sip."
