The raft entered the harbor and emerged from the narrow river. Everyone was suddenly exposed to the light and couldn't help but cover their eyes.
Yin Xiu raised his head and caught a glimpse between his fingers. Above their heads, there was a huge piece of ore embedded in it. It was round and full, hanging like a moon.
The reason why it is compared to the moon is that it is exaggeratedly big. The surface of the ore is as vast as a football field, and it looks like it is about to fall from the top at any time.
This is the only natural light source in Diaoyutai. Because of the existence of this jade, Fang Yin also poetically called this place "Moon Bay".
I think it is precisely because of the attraction of the light source that so many big fish gather here.
At this moment, Yin Xiu was bathing in the "moonlight" and felt an inexplicable warm feeling.
Ma Xiaoyu patted him and pointed to the water, "Look under the water."
Yin Xiu lowered his head and looked into the water, only to see that in the water, strands of luminous threads were floating up and down with the flow of water waves, like the tentacles of jellyfish or the mycelium of some kind of mushroom.
In fact, those things should be fishing lines, not some natural creation.
On this invisible silk thread, one end is connected to the fishhook and the other end is connected to the fishing rod.
Yin Xiu didn't pay attention to the fishing line in the water. She just grabbed Ma Xiaoyu's hand and pulled her back.
"Be careful, didn't you listen to the boatman? The things down here can easily cut off a person's fingers.
I think the danger underneath should come from these visible or invisible threads. ”
Ma Xiaoyu nodded, "How do you feel?"
"I feel that your hands are a little cold. Maybe you should wear something warmer."
Yin Xiu put his other hand on the back of Ma Xiaoyu's hand.
Snap!
Ma Xiaoyu took back her hand, wiped it on her clothes, and then turned to look at Luo Wei.
"What do you think, Detective?"
Luo Wei was startled and felt that Ma Xiaoyu was filled with murderous intent.
After a pause and realizing that the murderous intent was not directed at him, Luo Wei relaxed slightly and said, "Maybe we can ask the man on the shore."
"People on the shore?"
Yin Xiu rubbed his somewhat red face and looked towards the shore. There, there was a man sitting on a chair, with a dozen fishing rods of various sizes in front of him.
"We're here."
The boatman said, leaning the raft against the rocks on the shore.
"Thank you."
Yin Xiu took out a pack of bacon and a brick made of butter from his pocket, and threw it to the boatman, "Is this enough to pay your fare?"
The boatman weighed the two bags of things in his hands with satisfaction, "That's enough, there's more."
"Okay!"
Yin Xiu was the first to jump onto the shore. Without looking back, she stretched out her hand and Ma Xiaoyu's hand came up. With a gentle pull, she was on the shore in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Luo Wei straightened his collar and stretched out his hand.
After waiting for a while, he looked up and saw nothing in front of him. Ma Xiaoyu and Yin Xiu had left the shore together.
He couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and coughed twice.
"Guest, do you need my help?" The boatman picked up the bamboo pole.
"No, I'll do it myself."
Luo Wei put his hand on the stone, and the kite turned over and landed neatly on the shore. "Humph, is it difficult to go ashore alone?"
When he walked forward, Yin Xiu had already struck up a conversation with the fisherman.
"How was the harvest today?"
"Not very good."
The fisherman shook his head, as if he was not surprised that someone was so close, and he had no intention of being defensive.
"What, you want to come here to buy fish?"
"What fish are there today?"
Yin Xiu reached out and casually turned over the fish basket that the fisherman had placed on the shore.
"Tuna, the tuna, is too big to catch.
Abalone, lobster, too deep, I can't dive. ”
Yin Xiu glanced at him and said, "Then what do you have, besides these Shi Jiugong and Horsehead Fish?"
The fisherman looked at him calmly, "It depends on what you want."
"I will have whatever I want?"
Yin Xiu pointed to the water, "I want someone alive, can you catch it?"
"In the water?"
The fisherman frowned, "Last month, I often caught some people on my hook. They were all people with tattoos on their bodies. They had been soaked in seawater for too long, and their pigments had dispersed, and their bodies and faces were covered in black. Mozi.
At first I thought it was a ship going to South America that sank, but then I thought about it and realized that those things were only used in the last century. Everyone now transports gems and industrial products, but they no longer transport... ”
After coughing twice, the fisherman reached out to take the cigarette handed over by Luo Wei, put it to his nose and sniffed greedily, and then pinned it to his ear.
"It's too far off topic. Anyway, what I mean is that if there are no living people in the water, there are no living people in the water."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bell on one of the dozen or so fishing rods in front of him suddenly shook violently, making an annoying urging sound.
The fisherman looked at it, gently put his hand on it, pressed the bell, but did not lift the rod. Luo Wei urged: "Run away."
A smile appeared on the face of the fisherman, "The most important thing in fishing is timing. If you are too early, you will be unhooked, but if you are too late, the line will be broken. Only at the right time, if you lift it steadily, the fish will fall into your hands."
"Like now!"
He suddenly grabbed the fishing rod with both hands. As he exerted force, the long and slender rod bent in an exaggerated arc, making a creaking sound, as if it was about to break at any time.
After taking a deep breath, veins burst out from the angler's hands. After making a sound like a howling of a ferocious beast, he lifted the fishing rod high and the fishing line came out of the water one after another. Then a huge shadow appeared under the water.
"You three, maybe you will be interested in this fish."
After the fisherman tensed up, a fish as big as a washbasin, with an ugly face, and its whole body looked like it was covered with raised rocks, was dragged ashore by him.
A stench spread into everyone's noses. Ma Xiaoyu covered her nose and leaned back.
At this moment, Yin Xiu suddenly brought her face closer, sniffed her neck fiercely from two fingers away, and then let out a relaxed sigh.
Ma Xiaoyu's face turned red, "Are you perverted?"
"It stinks so much, I just need to relieve myself."
Ma Xiaoyu's eyes widened, "If you dare to do this next time, I will take off my boots, take off my socks and stuff them in your mouth."
"Not next time." Yin Xiu nodded helplessly.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Luo Wei from the corner of his eye. The latter was looking calm and even squatted down to check the fish.
Yin Xiu couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Yongtan, you can handle such a stinky thing. Do you sell stinky tofu at home?"
Luo Wei did not raise his head and twitched his nose, "I have rhinitis and I can't smell much."
Yin Xiu understood, "At least at the moment, I feel that you are very lucky."
"I hope so."
Luo Wei raised his head and looked at the angler, "Man, I have never seen such a strange fish. It is square and flat, like a flounder, but the flounder is not that big.
And I have only seen this dense layer of things on some stranded whales and dead turtles. People outside us call them barnacles. ”
"The people below us are also called barnacles."
The fisherman lit a cigarette and exhaled the smoke leisurely.
"But what's hanging on this fish is not those parasites."
As he spoke, he took out his knife, cut off a piece of fish meat and its attachments, and showed it to Yin Xiu and others.
Taking a closer look, Yin Xiucai discovered that it was not gray-white like pure gypsum, but translucent crystals, more like thin salt.
"Is this a Feng Shui stone?"
Ma Xiaoyu recognized him at a glance.
It is said that this kind of crystal exists in some ancient tombs with excellent Feng Shui and geography.
The native master drove a shovel to a depth of more than ten meters underground. If there was such a crystal in the things he brought out.
It means that this place has developed a certain Feng Shui, or there are dragon veins hidden under the ground that cannot be touched easily.
When encountering this kind of situation, the native master will ask around, or ask a Feng Shui master for advice, or simply pack up and leave without causing such trouble.
After all, although the targets they stole were all emperors, generals, and ministers buried in Feng Shui treasure caves, as the years passed, the original luck gradually dissipated, or they were absorbed by the ancestors and no longer existed.
In such a situation, it would be fine if it was moved, but if it is contaminated with Feng Shui stones, it often means that the dragon veins underneath have not been exhausted, and the risk of being moved is extremely high.
"That's right, it's a Feng Shui stone."
The angler picked up the fish, looked at it again and again, then put the fish back into the water, put the backs of his hands together and made strange gestures.
"The unity of blessings and life, the heart net of Bodhi."
Hearing this familiar slogan, Yin Xiu finally smiled.
He asked: "Brother, you don't want this fish anymore?"
The fisherman smiled and said: "This fish can't be eaten anymore. The hidden dragon under this deep pool has been polluted. It won't be able to become a climate in a few hundred years. It is not the target I am looking for."
"Then that dragon vein you are looking for, where is it?"
The fisherman glanced at him, shook his head and said: "If I knew, I wouldn't sit here every day waiting for the fish to take the bait."
"That's right."
He took out a few more copper coins from his pocket and weighed them in his hands.
"Six hours ago, I did a divination for myself. The divination was [Friends coming from afar]. Then the three of you came to me. I wonder if I, a fisherman, can help you. How many friends can I help you with?" ?”
Yin Xiu smiled and said, "It's not you who helps us, we should be the one who helps you."
"Oh?"
The fisherman threw the copper coins into the fish basket and closed the lid. "How can you help me? The fisherman is willing to listen."
Yin Xiu looked at Ma Xiaoyu, then at Luo Wei, then put his hand into his pocket and took out the transparent sixteen-sided dice.
"If someone is locked out, there are only two ways. One is to ask someone to bring the key, and the other is to call a locksmith.
I don't have the skills to open the lock on your door, but I have sent you the key that can open the door. ”
The angler's face was no longer calm. He stared at the dice, his eyes shining.
"The unity of blessings and life, Heart Network Bodhi, you are finally here, please come to my house to talk about it." (End of this chapter)
