Chapter 134 White Dragon Carp; Fish in the Belly
“Mr. Xu, didn’t I tell you, this room is very dirty and cannot accommodate anyone...”
Xiao Yu’s voice came faintly Come, like a flickering candle in the dark night, and like a monster hiding under the candle.
You Su stopped where he was, the chill spreading to his feet like cold lake water. He slowly turned his head, and his eyes returned to their black and white appearance.
While sitting on a green boat and wandering in the sea of clouds in the past few days, he has been exercising his eyes every day, and now he can control the shape of his eyes freely.
"Xiaoyu was right, it's quite dirty, and it really can't live with anyone."
You Su turned around with the oil lamp in hand, and could not see the face of the girl in front of him in the dark field of vision.
Xiaoyu blinked, stepped aside and said, "Master Xu, let's come up first."
You Su followed the instructions and stepped onto the cabin. However, the cellar door was still open, and the cold, damp and fishy wind blew from the cellar, as if an innocent spirit was beating on You Su.
He forced himself to calm down. He had seen more terrifying scenes, but this was far from enough to defeat his reason:
"Xiaoyu, it's so late and you haven't slept yet?"
"Mr. Xu, do you think I'm disturbing you?"
Xiaoyu covered his mouth and chuckled, his face half covered by The oil lamp dyed her face dimly yellow, half covered by the night, making it difficult to distinguish her expression.
“It’s my fault to break into other people’s rooms without permission, so how can I be considered disturbing? Since no one can live there, I’d better go back to the bow and sit.”
游Su closed the cellar door, and the dining table was placed tightly on the cabin. He put down the oil lamp again and prepared to return to the bow of the ship.
Xiaoyu looked at his back quietly from behind, and suddenly said:
"Mr. Xu...is the opportunity in Yuhuan Pond very important to you?"
You Su did not look back, he hesitated for a while and replied:
“Not bad.”
“But Mr. Xu needs to know that the goods placed on the shop cabinet are not called opportunities. The flowers between the cliffs are opportunities, and once you climb the cliff, it’s not that easy to look back.”
You Su held the hilt of the Mo Song Sword with his hand. In order to prevent it from being easily lost, the hilt of the sword was usually made rough. You Su has held the Mo Song Sword countless times, and he clearly remembers every rugged ravine on the hilt. At this moment, holding the sword, he felt that he had the confidence to climb the cliff.
"I understand what Miss Xiaoyu said, but I have a reason to get this opportunity."
You Su said firmly, he suddenly turned around and saw He asked the girl who had given him several hints:
"Miss Xiaoyu came here to ask for an opportunity."
"Mr. Xu is smart."
“Then there seems to be a reason to have to get it.” You Su smiled, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t pretend to be someone else’s granddaughter.”
“Why can’t it be two sibling granddaughters? What?”
“Miss Xiaoyu doesn’t know. My ears are very good. I can hear clearly even the sound of a cat stepping on the window lattice at night, but I didn’t hear Miss Xiaoyu open the door and walk. This only means that you used magic to deliberately hide the sound, so you are different from Xiaoyu. You are just a monk who deliberately concealed your cultivation."
Xiaoyu glanced at You Su. There was a hint of contempt in his eyes, and he said against his will:
"Young Master Xu is right."
"Only those who have connections with Yuhuan Pond can enter the pond. I guess... the girl Xiaoyu plays the role of 'Xiaoyu' just for the opportunity of Yuhuan Pond in Lao Yu's hands."
You Suhui's guess is not groundless. , Lao Yu, a mortal, can become the only fisherman on Yuhuan Lake, which shows that he is no ordinary mortal, and is likely to be inextricably linked to Yuhuan Lake.
“If you have guessed it, there is no need to say it to show off.”
Xiaoyu finally took off the fisherman girl’s warm and hospitable disguise, her voice was contemptuous and noble, just like this That's her real voice.
"That's it. I've advised you, if you still want to enter the Yuhuan Pond, just do whatever you want." Xiaoyu has turned around and is about to go back to his room.
You Su stopped her and asked hesitantly: "Xiaoyu...why did she become like that?"
"Lao Yu never told me that he sold Yu only collects the treasures from the Immortal family just to save money so that Immortal Yuhuanchi can save his granddaughter."
Xiaoyu waved his hand and said impatiently:
" Don’t ask, I’m going to rest.”
The door was gently closed, but still no sound was made. You Su had never seen this girl singing and performing spells, but an invisible sound barrier followed her all the time.
I'm afraid that their conversation just now was also silent to outsiders. You Su was secretly shocked that the girl's ability to control magic was so superb.
You Su tightened the hilt of his sword and stood on the bow of the boat, letting the lake breeze caress him. There were no waves on the lake, but there were waves in his heart.
This trip to Yuhuan Pond may not be as simple as he thought.
But he could not watch his wife being trapped in the lotus pond all day long because of him. From the beginning of this trip, he had no intention of turning back.
......
The dawn is about to pass, and the rising sun has just shown its corner. The morning glow has dispersed the clouds and mist in the autumn morning. It is so dazzling that people dare not open their eyes. Look directly.
There happened to be a cool mountain breeze blowing, and suddenly the clouds and smoke dispersed, and you could see the peaks, valleys, green lakes, and the lonely boats and fireworks, just like the famous paintings through the ages by the masters of calligraphy and painting.
You Su put the bowl down, and the steaming fresh fish porridge had been swept away by him.
Xiaoyu sat next to him, dabbing the corners of his mouth gracefully with a handkerchief. The handkerchief was made of luxurious Liuyun brocade, which was extremely out of place in the hands of this fisherman girl, but You Su couldn't notice this.
Lao Yu just looked at the unexpected handkerchief and didn't care. He stood up and said:
"Let's go after eating."
"Thank you, Mr. Lao."
Lao Yu nodded, took out the cigarette rod and stuffed some rough tobacco leaves into it, and reminded:
"Your boat fare hasn't been paid yet."
One hundred spiritual stones is not a small amount, and Yu Su had to reveal that he had a stored magic weapon if he wanted to take them all out.
Spiritual stones are said to be stones, but they are actually stones of regular size, closer to a unified currency. Not all stones with Xuanqi naturally formed in the world can be used as spiritual stones. Their size and Xuanqi content need to be verified by the corresponding organizations of the Holy Mountain, and then polished before being released to the market.
Lao Yu looked at the pile of spiritual stones that You Su had piled on the table, which was almost forming a hill. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyes were full of excitement, and he murmured:
"Enough... It should be enough now!"
You Su listened and resisted the urge to ask questions. Since the matter of Xiaoyu, this old man didn't even know "Xiaoyu" If you don't want to tell him, you won't tell him.
Lao Yu put the spiritual stones one by one into the special black cloth bag he bought. The spiritual light on the spiritual stones was also obscured by the cloth bag. Lao Yu had several such bags, and they were all sold by him. The accumulation I just saved.
Xiaoyu has remained silent since her appearance this morning, no longer the enthusiastic girl she was yesterday. Yousu guessed that maybe her mission had been completed and she no longer needed to act.
Then Lao Yu seemed to be reluctant to give something to Xiao Yu. You Su could only feel that it was extraordinary but didn't know what it was. You Su couldn't hear the brief conversation between Lao Yu and Xiao Yu. He could only use his spiritual consciousness to detect the movement of their lips, and the sound must have been eliminated by Xiao Yu's sound isolation technique.
Lao Yu then went to collect the anchor, and the boat soon started to move, cutting ripples on the calm lake.
As you get closer to the center of the lake, You Su can clearly feel that the concentration of Xuan Qi in the air is getting higher. He feels in his heart that this Yuhuan Pond is indeed one of the blessed places for spiritual beings. If he had lived here since he was a child, he would How could he be an ordinary person who has no connection with immortality?
The breeze is gentle and the boat is moving slowly. You Su couldn't see where the fishing boat had reached, but he only knew that a long time had indeed passed.
He thought it was because Lao Yu was old and frail that he rowed slowly. He once offered to let him row together, but Lao Yu refused unceremoniously.
Lao Yu is actually much stronger and stronger than You Su imagined. Under the rolled up sleeves are thick arm muscles. This old man can row very fast, but for these fishermen who have been sailing on Yuhuan Lake for generations, the road to Yuhuan Lake is like a pilgrimage. Going too fast is a violation of this holy land. After all, no one is running to make a pilgrimage. of. When he felt the water vapor in the air getting thicker and thicker, You Su realized that the lone fishing boat had finally entered the water mist and was approaching the center of the lake in the eyes of the world.
After walking for a while, the water vapor suddenly disappeared, and the warm sunshine directly fell on You Su's face, and then there was a broader wind than before, bringing air It is also fresher, and it seems to be another vast world.
You Su noticed that Lao Yu had put down his rowing hand, but the boat still kept moving forward. There seemed to be an undercurrent surging under the water, spontaneously attracting the foreign fishing boat.
Lao Yu took a puff of his cigarette, and then hummed an ancient ballad that was widely circulated among fishermen. It sounded extremely childish at first, but upon closer inspection, you can feel the vivid meaning in it.
It seems that Lao Yu is in a good mood. He probably feels that his granddaughter can be saved after killing his fat sheep.
You Su thought to himself while listening to the song carefully.
While Lao Yu was singing vigorously, the old fishing boat swayed violently. Lao Yu lost his balance and almost fell down, but You Su, who reacted in time, supported him.
Xiaoyu also walked over with a look of horror on his face, and looked at each other with You Su. They all entered the center of Yuhuan Lake for the first time and had no idea what was going on.
But there was no time for them to ask Lao Yu slowly. Dull crashing sounds were heard one after another, and the hull began to shake violently, and even some lake water was splashed into the crooked hull. The three of them could only Trying to maintain his figure.
"Lao Yu, what happened?!"
You Su supported Lao Yu with one hand and tightly grasped the handrail of the boat with the other. He clearly felt that something under the water was constantly hitting the hull!
Lao Yu's skinny face also became nervous at this time. He climbed to the edge of the boat and looked underwater, but excitement burst out of his turbid eyes:
"It's the White Dragon Carp! We are in luck!”
He suddenly broke away from You Su's hand that was supporting him, and ran to the cabin with a vigorous pace that was not suitable for his age. By the time he raised the bloody harpoon on the tip, the old man's temperament had suddenly changed.
Holding the harpoon, he is like an old general who has retired to his countryside and has once again grasped the sword that has been with him for many years. You know that he is old, but you also know that he cannot be underestimated at this time.
Before You Su could stop him, Lao Yu had already thrown off his upper body clothes, held the harpoon and jumped into the lake.
You Su didn't know if he should go into the water to help. He was blind and naturally hated such deep water. If blindness was combined with suffocation, no one would be desperate.
The rocking of the fishing boat has stopped, but the underwater fight is still continuing. Excited water splashes everywhere, and the huge white carp and the naked old man seem to be doing a war dance in the water.
Lao Yu is worthy of being a fisherman for more than 50 years, with excellent water skills. He found the right opportunity to straddle the big white fish, raised the harpoon high in his hand, and stabbed the white dragon carp fiercely into the body. dorsal spine.
The white dragon carp was so enraged by him that he took Lao Yu, who refused to let go, and plunged directly into the depths of the water!
The little fish stared blankly at the deep lake water below, and suddenly shouted:
"There is blood!"
You Su was startled, and there was a "crash" sound. , Mo Song's sword has been unsheathed. There was no way he could watch the extradited old man die here.
You Su stepped on the edge of the boat and was about to dive. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a roaring sound was heard, and something was swimming rapidly under the water!
The surface of the lake suddenly split open, accompanied by a huge white splash. The white dragon carp rushed out of the water carrying the old man on its back. Its six or seven-foot long body was exposed in the air, and its white scales reflected the Dazzling light.
Lao Yu still refused to let go of the harpoon in his hand. He roared heartbreakingly:
"Xu boy! Kill it!"
You Su His sword eyebrows narrowed, and his consciousness swept over the fish and people that seemed to be stagnant in the air. The whole body of energy was poured into his feet, and he jumped high in an instant. The Mo Song Sword was held in front of him. The black sword body formed a sharp contrast with the white fish body.
The sound of Qingyue's sword sounded, black and white touched, and what burst out was bright red blood!
This sword is as fast as thunder!
The lake water and blood fell like a downpour, but they failed to wet You Su and Xiaoyu at all. An invisible barrier blocked the air, like an umbrella made of Qi.
You Su turned around and nodded to Xiaoyu in thanks.
The water splash was gone, and Lao Yu dragged the huge fish body in the water and climbed onto the wooden trough on the boat. You Su quickly reached out and pulled Lao Yu up.
Lao Yu looked very excited after climbing onto the boat, with water dripping from his body. He looked at You Su with admiration and said:
"Good boy! This sword is accurate! Pull the fish!"
You Su smiled and nodded in response, then bent down and worked with Lao Yu to pull up the huge white dragon carp.
The white dragon carp is already dead, but its body is still dead and not stiff. It is still trembling on the board of the boat. The huge fish eyes are wide open, and a large amount of thick blood is flowing out from its head.
You Su's sword thrust was not only accurate, but also brutal.
The Mo Song Sword cuts iron like clay, and coupled with You Su's blessing with Xuan Qi, the sword pierced the white dragon carp's head, killing him with one blow.
Lao Yu was obviously exhausted and collapsed on the edge of the boat, gasping for air. The fishing boat regained its composure and moved forward silently.
After a while, Lao Yu stood up, put on the robe he had just taken off, and said excitedly:
“This white dragon carp is a rare and rare fish in Yuhuan Lake. ! I haven’t seen it in almost thirty years!”
You Su was also secretly surprised that fish as tall as humans could be raised in fresh water. He carefully examined it with his spiritual consciousness and discovered that the Xuanqi in this fish was very thick. It was many times thicker than the killifish he ate yesterday. It could almost be called a swimming spiritual stone. No wonder it could grow like this. huge.
"It's just a fish. You've been fishing here for fifty years, but you haven't seen it in thirty years?" The little fish looked back and forth at the white dragon carp in disbelief.
“This is not something you can see just by looking at it. To be precise, this is not a fish from Yuhuan Lake, it is a fish from Yuhuan Pond, but it just escaped through the underground undercurrent.”
Lao Yu walked up to the white dragon carp and stroked its white fish body with his hands, as if he was appreciating a rare treasure in the world.
“This white dragon carp is the biggest I have ever seen! I remember when I first learned to fish, my father caught a white dragon carp that was only half as long as me. That one alone attracted a lot of people. I don’t know how many immortals are trying to grab this one!”
“But... since it’s a fish that escaped from the Yuhuan Pond, you won’t attract it if you catch it! Do you want to blame the Yuhuan Pond Immortals? "
According to the rumored current temperament of the Yuhuan Pond Immortals, they should not agree to the spiritual fish they raise being obtained by outsiders.
"Yuhuan Pond belongs to immortals, and Yuhuan Lake belongs to mortals. When this fish reaches the mortal realm, it will be like an immortal coming to the world. It can eat up all the fish in the lake. Do you think I should kill it?" Can you kill it?”
You Su has seen the power of the fish that hit the boat just now. It is indeed the overlord of the water in the lake outside, but he is still a little confused and asked:
"Then why did it attack the fishing boat?"
Lao Yu took a polished fish knife and held down the body of the still leaping fish, looking impatient. Road:
"Perhaps they regard us as enemies invading its waters! Mr. Xu, you have helped me a lot. I don't have it all, old man. I will cut off half of the fish belly and give it to you! Come and have a taste of the little fish!"
Lao Yu didn’t care too much about You Su’s problem. He was all about quickly disposing of this rare white dragon carp and putting it on the boat. After entering the pond, it was captured by the immortals in Yuhuan Pond. Saw it.
“Kill now?” You Su asked in shock.
“The belly of this white dragon carp is full of praise even for those of us old fishermen who have been eating fish for decades. Its meat is as white as snowflakes, and it has to be eaten raw to be the most delicious. Cut it thinly It’s so crystal clear that you won’t know what a real spiritual fish is until you eat it!”
Lao Yu was very excited, but You Su could understand his mood. For these poor fishermen who fish all day long! , the white dragon carp that ran out of the Yuhuan Pond was nothing less than a windfall from heaven.
At this moment, Lao Yu had found the correct position and stabbed the kitchen knife into the belly of the fish cleanly. The blade of the knife was immediately stained with bright red blood.
Lao Yu tightened the handle of the knife, and then cut open the belly of the white dragon carp in one go. Even for such a spiritual fish, the organs in the belly were still fishy.
The old man skillfully pulled out all the organs. Xiaoyu frowned at this scene, but You Su, who should not be able to see these organs, also frowned.
Just like when he saw the Lantern Ghost, he saw a scarlet fish belly with a small fish in it.
