Chapter 20
There is a section of Qinghe in Fucheng, which is also called Fuqinghe, which is not far from Anxiang Pavilion. After Ji Liao taught Mei Sanniang how to refine water veins, he took her to the riverside.
Ji Liao said to Mei Sanniang: "This river will be your home in the future."
Mei Sanniang nodded. She used the method of Ji Liao's teachings and felt that the river water seemed to be summoning her. The brothel woman was helpless and very lonely, but at this time the river really gave her the feeling of home. Mei Sanniang followed her instinct and jumped into the river water, turning into a splash of water, disappearing.
Ji Liao narrowed his eyes slightly because he saw Mu Qing also entered the river.
"I'll be back later."
At this time, pedestrians walking along the river found that the Fuqing River suddenly had water risen, and they were wondering if there was a lot of water coming upstream and flowing down below.
The river water not only rises, but also rolls.
Fortunately, it was night, if it was daytime, many people would definitely come to watch.
Ji Liao watched the river water. When he opened Taixu Tianyan's eyes, he saw a big snake lying on the riverbed, with four bulges on his abdomen, which was a sign of turning into a dragon.
At this time, there was a faint shadow around the snake, constantly attacking it.
When the snake was in pain, it used water to carry out the water flow, which caused the river to rise.
The shadow is Mu Qing.
Although this big snake has not turned into a human form, it has the bloodline of the dragon, and I don’t know how many years it has lived. It is obvious that its magic power is profound. Moreover, in the water, its strength has not only doubled. Ordinary Dancheng monks can’t do anything to it. But now it has no choice but to the shadow transformed by Mu Qing, and its aura gradually weakens.
After about a quarter of an hour of fighting, the snake stopped moving.
The body, which was originally ten feet long, continued to shrink and turned to about two inches.
Isn’t Ji Liao strange? A dragon can be big or small. Since a big snake has the bloodline of a dragon, it can naturally change its body as expected.
The shadow transformed by Mu Qing rushed into the little snake's body. Ji Liao suddenly felt an inexplicable aura on his body, which was the aura of a dragon.
It turned out that Mu Qing refined the little snake, and he was also infected and obtained a trace of true dragon bloodline.
Without anyone noticing it, the little snake sneaked up ashore, slipped to Ji Liao, and circled around the index finger of his right hand.
Ji Liao looked closely and saw that the little snake's skin was as clear as jade. It was wrapped around his fingers, and there was also a cold feeling. The snake's eyes were pitch black, quiet and deep, and very beautiful.
"Are you taking over this little snake?"
"It's just a means of divine thoughts and sending God, and it's still far from taking over the body."
"Oh." Ji Liao understood that this was the same as Qingyu placing his spiritual thoughts on July.
He said again: "You didn't seem to be able to do this before."
"Hmph, you think you are smart, and the Huangting Sutra also gained something. But this method is also troublesome. The divine thoughts I distributed will naturally disappear. Now the divine thoughts on the little snake are supported for at most for half a day. Every time after divine thoughts, you may have to rest for a while before you can continue to use this method, and you still can't be too far away from you." Mu Qing was obviously very unhappy at the end.
Ji Liao breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: She shouldn't think about using my body now.
Mu Qing said: "If you weren't stingy, how could I use such a troublesome method?"
Ji Liao coughed lightly.
Mu Qing continued: "I looked through its memories and it turned out that it was the snake guards in Jiangzhou Prefecture who were stocked in the Fuqing River."
Ji Liao was not very surprised. After all, it was strange that such a spiritual snake appeared in the Qinghe River in Fuqing. The snake guards didn't know that it was a strange thing. If the snake guards were free to stock, it would be clear.
He said, "So what? Are you still afraid of snake guards?"
Mu Qing said: "Of course I'm not afraid, and every month the Snake Guard will send someone to feed it. It's the best spiritual medicine. Then I'll put it away and you can use it to refine the alchemy."
"Why are you suddenly so generous?" Ji Liao looked suspicious.
Mu Qing said: "Anyway, I can share half of the benefits after taking the pill."
Ji Liao's face turned dark, and he really couldn't think too well about her.
After the two of them tugged for a while, the little snake thumped and returned to the river. The Academy was right upstream and was very close. Anyway, Ji Liao had been in the Academy for a while, so the little snake just stayed in the river.
The little snake is actually equivalent to Mu Qing's clone. Even if you don't rely on your spiritual thoughts on weekdays, it doesn't matter. If Mu Qing has any thoughts on him, it won't take much time to send him to the spiritual thoughts.
Ji Liao suddenly thought that he was half an official now, and taking all the spiritual medicines for feeding snakes every month was considered corruption.
A mess of thoughts popped up in my mind and I quickly returned to the school.
He returned to his residence, and before the door was opened, someone said, "Master Leju, you are finally back."
Ji Liao had actually discovered him, but he pretended not to know. When he saw him coming, he said, "Manager Lin, what's the matter?"
It turns out that this person is the manager of Xuezheng's family.
"My master has something to look for you."
"It's so late, what else can I do."
"I don't know, the master told me to let you meet him."
"good."
Manager Lin took Ji Liao to Xuezheng's house, which was actually a house next to the Academy. This Xuezheng master also had a surname of Lin, and he was a few years older than the magistrate of County Nie.
The two met in the study.
Ji Liao clasped eleven times and said, "Mr. Lin is so late, what's the matter with me?"
Lin Xuezhengdao: "I heard of a good word you wrote by Master Ji, and I am also good at writing poetry."
Ji Liao said: "Sir, I'm just not ugly."
Lin Xuezheng smiled and said, "Master Leju is humble. I came to you this time to ask you to write a poem for me on this Guanyin picture of giving away children."
I saw him unfolding a painting on his desk, which was the picture of Guanyin giving birth to a child.
Seeing this, Ji Liao smiled and said, "Then I'll be ugly." This painting was coincidental, but it was actually Zhu Yicai's work. Ji Liao recognized his origin at a glance. Anyway, if he had to stay in the palace for a while, Ji Liao naturally would not refuse to help Xuezheng, which would be convenient for others, that is, convenient for himself.
Lin Xuezheng saw that he did not shirk responsibility and looked overjoyed.
Although he is a master of academic performance, he is actually a ninth-rank official and his words work for students. People like Ji Liao are under his control, and Ji Liao has a close relationship with Nie County Magistrate. Although Nie County Magistrate is a seventh-rank official, he is actually the first in the second grade and is also a favorite student of the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel. Such a person will sooner or later become a success, and he cannot compare with him.
Therefore, Lin Xuezheng was not willing to force Ji Liao to ask him to write inscriptions. If he didn't have much money, he would have wanted to pay the money.
Ji Liao picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote inscriptions in the blank space of the painting.

"It is hard to obtain the human body now, and it is hard to hear the Dharma now. I have not gone to the other side of my life, so when will I save this body?"
"Good poems, really good poems."
