Chapter 267: Night Fishing
"Good, great good. He was embarrassed, and when he saw that she took the initiative to relieve the siege, he was overjoyed, and quickly handed over the fishing goods in his hand, and wiped two more on the white sand to wipe off the fish.
This action looks like a mighty monk, but like an ordinary old man. He lifted the wine gourd and poured two sips of wine, and saw that Ning Xiaoxian quickly took out the black ink and miscellaneous pieces in the belly of the squid, and peeled off the outer layer of purple clothes, and then found a branch to pierce and put it on the fire to barbecue, while she turned the roast, she also sprinkled some black, brown, white, and red powder on the squid.
However, the taste is really fragrant. She made a few more cuts on the squid, tasted it and cooked it quickly. The old man took the branch and took a bite, and his eyes lit up, and when he had eaten it in two times, he went to fish out another bunch. Ning Xiaoxian chewed half a skewer, and he swept away all the squid on the scene. The taste of this little squid is great in itself, the belly is full of seeds, and it is fragrant and chewy in the mouth, and after adding seasoning, it adds five points of color.
"Little girl, what kind of spice is this?" he asked, pointing to one of the grass seeds.
She glanced at it and replied, "It's just that." This is already a common seasoning in the Western Regions. "It seems that this old man has not come down the mountain for too long, otherwise how could he not know about the changes in the world?
"It's delicious! I'll go catch some squid again!" he pulled out a bamboo fishing rod from his storage space and walked back into the lake.
Did he really use it to fish?!Ning Xiaoxian's eyes widened. With such supernatural powers, you can fish out a lot of prey from the water without getting your hands wet. Why does he honestly take fishing gear to fish? It is said that the higher the cultivation, the more eccentric the guy is, and this is true, just like her parents. In fact, there are a lot of weird things on my mind......
Alas, why did you think of him again? Ning Xiaoxian, you are unproductive. Her face flushed, she stood up and patted off the fine sand on her placket, and walked towards the water. No matter how light her body was, the salty lake water could not lift her, so she put her divine power on the soles of her feet and stepped on it gently and skillfully. The buoyancy of the lake is turned into repulsion, so that it can walk on the water. The old man was still on the water, and the soles of her feet were a centimeter away from the lake. Each has its own merits.
The old man was standing on the deep water fishing, and when he saw her Shi Shiran coming, he turned his head and looked at it a few more times, with a look of surprise on his face. The breath of this little girl. It's kind of weird. The power in her body is not spiritual power, nor is it demonic power, and it is not easy to judge even with her Dao itinerary. He watched the little girl slowly walk to his side, her face was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and he couldn't help but feel a little touched: How many years has it been that no young man dares to get so close to him?
"You're standing next to me, you're going to scare the fish away!" said this, but there was not much blame in his words. On the contrary, there is a sense of nostalgia. Many, many years ago, someone said this to themselves.
Ning Xiaoxian covered his mouth and smiled softly: "You fish like this." When are you going to catch it?"
"Two hours......" he looked uncertain.
Dizzy, before she came, the old man had been fishing for two hours to catch four squid? At this rate, they couldn't eat enough until dawn. The most important thing is that she can't stand on the water for that long, she is a big consumer of divine power.
She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Do you want the juniors to help?"
"No!" the old man said, "I have to use a fishing rod to catch it, otherwise I use some magic, and the fish will jump into my hands by itself, do you still need this green bamboo rod?"
Which of the old man's tendons is twitching? But she can help. Ning Xiaoxian's eyes rolled and said, "What if I have a way to speed up your fishing?"
"This can be had!" the old man nodded and said suspiciously, "you can make the fish bite the hook of its own?"
Nature can. If he is here, it is a big deal for him to turn into a clone and go down to seduce the fish to bite the bait, but he is not here, and the great monk is also dignified, so she has to use another method.
Mortal approach.
"It's a small thing. She took out the luminous grass from her arms, and the gentle white light instantly illuminated the range of two or three feet beside her, as if a bright lamp was lit in the dark night.
The old man said curiously: "This is?"
"Most fish like light, and on such a dark night, you can't rush to it?" she pursed her lips and smiled, "Old man, watch your fishing rod, the fish will come soon." ”
The little squid is also a phototaxis nocturnal nocturnal creature that she had just probed with her divine sense, and there were indeed a large number of small squid swimming slowly in the upper waters of the saltwater lake.
Sure enough, after a short half of the incense burning, more and more fish of all colors gathered under the glowing grass, and they became bigger and bigger. Many fish flutter on the surface of the water, wanting to get closer to the light source. After a few dozen breaths, the old man really said happily: "Bite the hook, bite the hook." Stretching out his hand, a large herring was thrown out of the lake by him.
"It really works! Catch again, catch again!"
He continued to throw the rod, and Ning Xiaoxian didn't say anything, just stood on the water with the glowing grass and acted as a fish trap lamp.
Half an hour later, the old man caught twelve small squid, and a number of other miscellaneous fish. He was also peculiar, leaving only the squid and the rest of the fish thrown back into the water.
Next, it was Ning Xiaoxian who took action and cleaned up these squids, but he stopped eating when he ate the third head, sipped his fingers, stroked his stomach and said, "It's so happy!" He poured two sips of wine before continuing, "Little girl, you helped me today, but what compensation do you want?"
"Don't dare. She said respectfully, but whispered in her heart, what genius treasures do you have, magic weapons and spiritual pets, give them to me, I don't have too much.
The old man sighed in a low voice: "I was taken in by Guangcheng Palace when I was three years old, and it was my senior brother who brought me up. In addition to teaching on behalf of the master, he often brought me to this island in the middle of the lake to fish and grill fish, and it has been more than 600 years since then. Yu never dared to forget!"
"What about the others now?" she asked casually.
"Dead. After so many years, I have been riddled with miscellaneous things, and I have no time to come here to pay my respects until today, but I can't help it!"
She thought that her cultivation had reached such a profound point, and she should have already fallen without being shocked, and her heart was like iron and stone, why did he hurt the spring and autumn and sacrifice the past?
Chang Tian knew that she was puzzled, and said loudly: "Before he crossed the tribulation, he had to settle all his wishes clearly, so that he could feel at ease, and he would be more sure when he crossed the tribulation." Otherwise, to provoke the power of heaven and earth with regret is just to set up a gap in the heart defense and let the demons take advantage of the void. The memory of fishing and eating fish here since he was a child is the knot in his heart. He did it again today as before, in order to make up for the last missing fragment in his heart. ”
She was stunned. No wonder with the old man's magical powers, he still has to insist on fishing with a fishing rod, no wonder with his identity, he has to wash and peel the squid himself, it turns out that these practices are just to "let go" of the past.
After a long time, the old man opened his eyes: "You helped me fulfill my wish, I should reward you." He took out a pale red stone from his bosom and handed it to Qizai, who was lying quietly on the side.
The stone was the size of a thumb, irregular in shape, dull in color, and looked like impurities. But when Qizai saw it, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed it in one gulp, and he was impatient.
She said curiously, "What is this?" Qizai ignored her for the first time, just closed his eyes and curled up, as if he was running the Fa.
The old man smiled: "This is the Heavenly Replenishing Divine Stone that I got by accident, and it is said to be very beneficial to the promotion of demons." Well, you, the Chongming Bird, have touched the threshold of the late stage of Dacheng, and it is estimated that after swallowing this stone, you will soon be able to break through the Dacheng period and enter the next stage of the Vientiane period. In addition to the two Zhenshan Divine Beasts in my Guangcheng Palace, there are no other spirit beasts that can make me look at them, so I might as well give them to you. ”
She was overjoyed and quickly stood up and thanked the old man. Qizai's cultivation has been progressing relatively slowly, and since he followed her, he has been taking jade paste every day, which has grown rapidly. However, the Heavenly Divine Stone is a great complement for many monsters, especially fowl demons, and such a small piece is enough for it to quickly advance to the Vientiane Period.
She just roasted a few squid for this old man, and she got such a big benefit, it can only be said that Qizai's opportunity has arrived, which also shows that the old man of Guangcheng Palace has a lot of treasures in his hands, and he can make ordinary people stunned if he takes out any of them.
The old man waved his hand and said, "No need to thank you, I won't owe more favors at this juncture." She knew that the "juncture" meant that when the catastrophe was coming, he would not leave any more regrets in his heart, and he would have to pay back what he should repay, and he could no longer owe favors.
Then he frowned and said, "Strange, why haven't you come yet?"
Is he still waiting for someone? Ning Xiaoxian's heart moved, and he felt that something was wrong. The old man is not good at entertaining guests in his own place, but he came to this isolated island in the lake to meet, and he knows that there are some ulteriors when he thinks about it. He is still shallow, and it is a little dangerous to stay by the side of the two strange powers.
It's a pity that his voice just fell, and Changtian whispered: "Someone is coming." This man was a little aggressive. On the water in the distance, sure enough, Shi Shiran came to a third person.
This man is tall and white-robed, with a slender figure, an appearance of about thirty years, a white face and no beard, and he was originally handsome, but unfortunately the corners of his mouth and eyes are slightly downward, and he looks too cold. He walked on the lake with his hands behind his back, looking leisurely, not surprising at first glance, but Changtian reminded her: "It is also the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Period, and the cultivation is still above this old man, you look at his feet." ”
She stared at the man's pace, which was no different from that of an ordinary person, but with each step, the lake beneath his feet became completely still, and even the texture of the waves was like iron casting, as if it had condensed into a solid lump for him to trample on. But when he stepped over this short distance and took another step, the imprisoned water of the lake began to surge again, and the flow did not stop. (To be continued......)
