Chapter 20 Big Fish Town, Mysterious Ancient Pond
It is said that Wang Wenwen went out of the east gate early, and traveled until noon, the sun hung in the sky, only to feel that his stomach was rumbling and screaming, and he remembered that he had gone out of the city in the morning and walked in a hurry, and he had not even eaten breakfast, so he had no choice but to take out the animal skin kettle on his waist and drink a few mouthfuls of water to top his stomach.
I was drinking happily, but I could hear the sound of flowing water in the mountains and forests in the distance, "Huh, is there a river in this place?"
Sure enough, not long after, a stream half a person deep appeared in front of Wang Wenwen's eyes. "Good fellow! you can't catch a fish and grill it!" stabbed down with a sword, and when the sword was retracted, a fish with a short arm length fluttered on the sword.
The stream is deep and the fish is fat, and the fish that has been cut in half is squeaked and crackled under the wood simmering, and the skin of the fish is slightly yellow, and even without any seasoning, it is already fragrant.
"Ouch mom, it's so fragrant~" Poor Dolan Sword, a good weapon has now become a meat cutting knife, "Grilled fish sandwiched with baked cakes is simply delicious in the world!Hmm?No~ How can there be a trace of aura in this fish?"
"Hey, hey, hey, it's rare that young people still have Yaxing who catches fish now. Wang Wenwen was eating fragrantly, and suddenly heard an old voice behind him, and looked back to see an old man wearing a hat and holding a green bamboo fishing rod smiling at him.
"Yo old man, you're still fishing at noon on this hot day!" Wang Wenwen also smiled, and pointed to the remaining half of the grilled fish on the wooden rack that he had built casually, "Let's eat some together?"
"Hahaha, don't hide it from Xiaoyou, I came to see it when I smelled the fish. The old man also picked up a piece of fish meat and chewed it, "Hey, it's so fragrant! I didn't expect Xiaoyou to look like a rich boy dressed up as a good guy in this grilled fish." ”
"Haha a little interest, the old man tastes this wine, the good thing of Furong Restaurant!"
Full of wine and food, "Hey, old man, where does this stream come from, the raw fish are so fat." After a meal, the king of fish and meat had already determined that there was indeed a trace of aura in the fish, and he immediately became interested in this stream.
"Hey, hey, it's normal for Xiaoyou to be a foreigner and not know~" The old man burped and pointed in the direction of the creek, "This stream is called Big Fish Creek, if you want to find the source, the road is not easy to walk, my old leg has to walk for two or three hours." Walking along this stream for about twenty miles, I saw a large willow tree the thickness of two people, and I almost reached the village, and there was a large pond behind the village that was the source of the stream. ”
The old man cleared his throat: "The fish in the big lake are called big, there are many and big, I used to go fishing with a few old friends, and a hook is a fish that is very fun, so the village is called the big fish town." It's just that a few of us old guys have grown old and can't walk anymore, so we come to fish by this creek. ”
Wang Wenwen nodded, Big Fish Township, I have to go and see.
Bidding farewell to the old man, the brocade-robed young man picked up his long sword and walked along the stream in the direction of Dayu Township......
Wang Wenwen's foot strength is naturally faster than ordinary people, although the mountain road is bumpy and difficult to walk, but he is not in a hurry to walk for an hour and has arrived under the big willow tree that the old man said, not far away is a small village, I want to come to the big fish town, indeed as the old man said, the willow tree at the entrance of this village is different from the ordinary willow tree, and the tree body is thick enough to be surrounded by two people.
Wang Wenwen patted the willow tree and smiled, sure enough, the aura here is much richer than other places, if it is not unexpected, in another two hundred years, this willow tree will gradually give birth to spiritual wisdom, "I hope you can still cultivate well after becoming a essence, don't do those things that drain people's souls, otherwise I will naturally come to get rid of you." Wang Wenwen didn't care whether the willow tree knew what he was talking about, and lifted the Dolan sword and drew a fork on the tree, "Even if it's a reminder for you." ”
Turning away, the thick trunk trembled slightly, and the leaves rustled.
Walk more than 100 meters further, then walk to the archway of the big fishing village, Wang Wenwen secretly surprised, the aura of this place is more than under the willow tree, more than twice as rich as the outside world, if you often live in this place and not to mention help to cultivate, at least it can also nourish the body and prolong life.
"Hey, young man, who are you looking for!" walked out of the archway, an old man in a robe.
Wang Wenwen made a gesture: "The boy Wang Wenwen, he is not looking for anyone, he just came to Dayu Town to go shopping." ”
Oh~ The old man nodded thoughtfully and muttered: Now the little doll loves to come to our poor places.
Wang Wenwen's ears were sharp, and he heard the old man's muttering from a distance, and when he saw the old man turn around and was about to leave, he hurriedly ran over and stopped: "The old man is waiting for me!"
"Old man, what did you mean when you said that the little dolls love to come here now, eh...... I mean, there's someone else coming?"
"Ahh ”
Wang Wenwen's eyes flashed, "Uncle, where is the village chief's house, I also want to go fishing and catch game." ”
"Oh~ where is the village chief's house! The old man tightened his clothes, "It's dark, you see if there is a vacant house in the village chief's house, the village chief is kind, and many outsiders who come to fish are borrowed there." ”
Wang Wenwen nodded: "Thank you, uncle"
Watching Wang Wenwen walk away, the old man shook his head and wondered: "Now rich people like to eat wild meat in our poor place? ”
"Who~" The one who opened the door was a thin old man, although he was thin but his body was straight, and his eyes were also bright.
"Oh ~ old man, the boy Wang Wenwen came to Dayu Township to swim, it's not that it's getting dark, I heard the old man in the village said that your family can spend the night, and the junior disturbed. ”
"Hmm~ ...... called by Old Man Wu" The village chief looked at Wang Wenwen, "Okay, I live in the back room with an old man who came to fish, but there are still two empty beds, if you don't mind living in a room with an old man fishing, you can come in~"
The village chief turned around and went back to the house, and Wang Wenwen hurriedly followed.
took half a cup of hot tea handed over by the village chief, took a sip slightly, tsk~ Sure enough, there is aura, but unfortunately the tea leaves are too often on the table, Wang Wenwen smiled: "Hey~ Village chief, look at you in your seventies, your body is still Yinglang." ”
The village chief made a pot of tea again and laughed: "Harm~ The old man is more than 110 years old~"
Wang Wenwen almost squirted out a sip of hot tea, Nima ~ said that the life span of a good person is only a hundred years? This broken village will pop out of a hundred and ten years old, "Uh...... Hahaha, the old man is well maintained!"
"Hahaha, where and where~ all the coarse tea and light rice you eat, they are all from the mountains that can't compare to your city. The village saw that Wang Wenwen spoke well, and had a much better impression of this young man in the city wearing a brocade robe, and the two became familiar with each other.
"Yo! the village chief is here!" walked in a swarthy man outside the door, carrying three or four big fish with hemp rope in his hand, all of which were thigh-thick, "Hey~ is a little offspring, the grandson of the village chief?"
"It's just a young man who came to the village to play~" The village chief looked at the swarthy man: "Today's harvest is not small, Lao Li, this fish is strong~"
"Hey, hey, that's! Don't say that there are a lot of big fish in the ancient pool in the back mountain!"
Wang Wenwen's eyes lit up when he heard the ancient pond in the back mountain: "Old Uncle Li, do you say that this ancient pond is the ancient pond that flows to the big fish stream at the back of the village?"
"Yo! The little descendants from this city still know this pool!" Lao Li took a sip of tea, "I told you that the pool is really a treasure pool, and all of them are full of big fish, and the fry grow faster than other places when they are thrown in!"
"Yes, Uncle Li will tell me carefully, it sounds like a story!"
"Yo, Lao Li can talk to this descendant" The village chief brought out a pot of boiled fish, which Lao Li had just brought back, and took out a small cloth bag from the table and shook it at the two, "Let's have some mint leaves?"
Lao Li took the mint leaf with his hand, "Isn't it my time to talk to this descendant about the pool in the back! ”
"Yes, yes, I don't want to go to the back to be curious!" Wang Wenwen picked up a piece of fish meat, not surprisingly, the fish meat did have aura, which was more than five times better than that in the big fish stream.
"Hey, hey~" The village chief chewed mint leaves and looked at Wang Wenwen with a smile, "Actually, it's a story about coaxing children, if you want to hear it, then I'll tell you."
I heard that there used to be a broken mountain in this place, but then one day there was thunder and rain, and I saw a black shadow with a thunder that fell from the sky! How dare you go out at that time, until the next morning, a few strong young men who dared to get up early to chop wood arrived at the back of the village and found that the big flat land behind the village was gone! It had become a big pool! A few sharp-eyed young men saw a person floating in the middle of the pool!
The village chief paused, took a sip of tea, picked up a piece of fish and chewed it.
Later, someone brought an obedient big dog and blew a big skin into a bulge bag for the dog to swim over and drag it back! The people in the village were also honest, and they didn't pay attention to the Taoist priest, and took the Taoist priest back to their own home. Who knew that the next day the man got up and found that the Taoist priest was gone! I ran out to ask only to hear a man chopping wood say that it seemed that he saw the Taoist priest running to the mountain next to the village with a box, this mountain is not easy for us to go to until now, I heard that there are many wild beasts in the mountain, and it is easy to get lost, so I can only wander around the bottom of the mountain, I have lived for so many years and have not heard of anyone going up to the mountain. Our ancestors didn't dare to go up, but we didn't see the old Taoist priest come down, and after waiting for many days, we didn't see anyone, so it faded away. But I heard that this pond is indeed hundreds of thousands of years old, if you want to say tens of thousands of years, we also believe it, but it is really old, no one says when there is this pool, our fish here can be caught from this pool, and other places are different, the fish here are a lot more delicious.
Wang Wenwen nodded, full of curiosity about the old Taoist priest mentioned in the village chief's story, and came by thunder...... Once again, he is also a master of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and he has been gathering the aura in the pond for thousands of years...... This heavy heaven seems to be as Uncle Luo and Uncle Ding said, far from being as simple as the Nine Heavens have passed on.
Put down the dishes and chopsticks, and look through the window at the dark purple back mountain like a crouching tiger under the night, surrounded by clouds and mist. Looks like I'm going to have a look tomorrow.
