The west of Great Chu is Jingzhou. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

In the land of Jingzhou, there is the Canglong River traversing, and the water network is dense with lakes and rivers, and it is known as the state of a thousand lakes by the world.

There is a unique lake among the thousand lakes, its water area is vast and misty and can be compared with the sum of the remaining nine hundred lakes, it can be said that the clear water is boundless, the vast ocean is like the ocean, moistens the Jingtian Chu earth, the world is accustomed to call it "eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake".

The water volume of Dongting Lake is so abundant, the fish in the lake are incomparably numerous, and there is a saying that "Dongting fish are like mosquitoes before the rain, and there are as many as flies after autumn", which is slightly exaggerated, but it is enough to reflect the number of fish in the lake.

Dongting Lake has such abundant aquatic resources, and the surrounding people are naturally mainly fishing. In the process of long-term fishing, the fishermen not only have mature fishing methods, but also sing wonderful and unique Dongting fishing songs in their leisure time-

"The clouds in the sky,

Xiaqi in the water,

Eight hundred miles of Dongting Lake, my homeβ€”β€”! ”

Every morning, there is always a similar melodious fishing song floating on the surface of the lake in the mist, adding a bit of moving vitality to the misty lake scenery painted in ink.

The old fisherman, rocking his oars in the little fishing boat, continued to sing:

"The day is fed from the house, and the moon hangs at the house

Paddle a thousand roads, scatter thousands of flowers

Hi hi, hi hi

Birds also eat golden carp, heyβ€”"

"Oh!" A vulgar voice perfectly spoils this picturesque mood. On the other boat, the shirtless man opened his throat and said, "Uncle Zhang, you sing a yarn!" Aren't you afraid to scare the fish away? ”

The old Zhang was not angry, he pointed to the full pile of fish on the boat, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I plan to go home!" ”

"What do you mean?" The big man was dissatisfied, "I've just arrived!" If I can't catch fish today, I'll rely on your house to go and grab food with your melon baby. ”

That old Zhang still had a kind smile on his face, and he said, "Lai, Lai!" Our grandfather and grandson are not afraid of one more mouth from you. Anyway, with you lazy, even if the fish jumps on your boat, it won't be able to feed you. ”

The big man said: "Don't look down on people, don't I just haven't come for five days?" If I can win a few dozen taels of silver in the past five days, do I still need to come here and make myself smell of fish? ”

"Then why don't you win a few dozen taels of silver?"

"In the first three days, I won seven or eight taels."

"And then?"

The big man said dejectedly: "Aren't you going to lose back?" ”

"No wonder you're so angry!" After all, Lao Zhang watched him grow up, and persuaded: "Okay! Come to my house for lunch. Young people still have to work hard. ”

The big man pouted and said he didn't care, but after all, the young man had good eyesight, and he quickly noticed the unusual thing on Lao Zhang's boat, and immediately hurriedly shook the oars and rowed towards Lao Zhang, and shouted anxiously: "Are you old and confused?" Dare to come fishing without sticking the talismans? Aren't you afraid that the water will swallow you and the boat together? Hurry to my ship! ”

"What's the problem?" The old man said calmly, "My grandson has not grown up yet, how can I be willing to feed the fish?" ”

Dahan didn't calm down with Lao Zhang's words, his boat immediately approached Lao Zhang's boat, and he stretched out his hand to pull Lao Zhang onto his boat......

"You melon baby! What are you doing? I'm more desperate than you! "Lao Zhang doesn't look like a joke.

The big man also calmed down and asked strangely, "What's the matter?" Could it be that you have become that spiritual immortal in an instant? ”

"No, but we don't have to work hard to go to the Wuwei Taoist Temple to ask for that talisman in the future." Lao Zhang said with a smile on his face.

"What's going on?"

"Five days ago, a young man suddenly came to this lake. The young man, who was only a teenager at a glance, knew at a glance that he was from a wealthy family, but he didn't know why he rowed a small fishing boat to the vicinity of Junshan Island. At first, I thought it was just for fun, so I didn't pay close attention. But the next day, when I went out fishing, I found that he had arrived before me. Isn't this even more strange, you say that we are in Dongting South Lake, but who went out fishing earlier than me? ”

Dahan shook his head and said, "No." ”

"That's right! So I wanted to go up and ask about the child, but it didn't almost scare my little heart out that day! ”

"What's going on? You're so long-winded! Can you tell me about the point? ”

The old Zhang fisherman, who had turned on the storytelling mode, took out his cigarette stick, lit the cigarette, and said unhurriedly: "Isn't this about to get to the point." In the early hours of that morning, I paddled towards the boy, but as I paddled I realized that the water was a little abnormal. So I took the fishing lantern and often took a picture on the surface of the lake, oh my goodness! I saw that the swarthy area under the water was at least fifty or sixty miles long! It was so scared that I even fell into the water. I thought I was going to be there for the rest of my life! ”

Uncle Zhang said that he still had palpitations here, so he hurriedly smoked a few puffs of cigarettes to suppress the shock.

Dahan was hung up his appetite: "Aren't you okay?" Hurry up and go on. ”

Lao Zhang spat out his cigarette and continued: "Fortunately, I am usually diligent enough to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and I have been protected by Lord Haotian. I thought I was going to die if I disturbed the water kui, but he didn't know that he ignored me. I was thinking about turning around and running away, but then I saw something I still couldn't believe. ”

Lao Zhang didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, he changed his tone and continued: "I thought that poor child was dead, but who knew that the poor one was Shui Kui. The young man who looked harmless to humans and animals saw that Shui Kui attacking, not only was he not afraid, but he also jumped on the water, grabbed the single horn of the Shui Kui and threw it into the sky, it was like the god Hercules descending to earth! Dumbfounded! Later, I only remember that there were several dazzling sword lights in the air, and there was a rain of blood in the sky, and finally the body of the water kui fell, and the blood on the lake did not dissipate until yesterday. At this time, I realized that the extraordinary-looking young man was also a fairy-like figure. ”

"That young man is a disciple of Wuwei Daomen?"

"I thought so at first, but then what he said directly rejected our idea."

"What did he say?"

"I don't remember exactly, but I guess it was saying, 'Shit inaction, it's boring. Something that can be solved with a single sword, but you have to draw countless talismans to maintain balance. It's really idle and has nothing to do. If you really want to do nothing, you have to ignore the life and death of those fishermen. ’”

"How can this be reasonable, dare to insult our Wuwei Immortal."

"That's it! Although I also think he is right, the Immortal Chief is a benevolent person after all. But I'll tell you about it, and you're not allowed to tell my boy. lest he have no heart to study and think about those strange things all day long. ”

"Well, rest assured. But you have to keep an eye on the dogs, human traffickers have been rampant lately on our South Lake. I heard that the town next door lost two children last month. ”

"How so? Then I'm going back! ”

"Wait! What's the hurry? Is the boy still on the water? ”

"In. I guess he didn't come ashore when he got here. What do you want to do? ”

"Hehe, I want to worship him as a teacher, learn his skills, and don't you eat spicy food in the future? Where else do you need to get a fishy smell here? Even if it doesn't work out, let me see the demeanor of the young immortals. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why are you young people like this, it's so beautiful. Lao Zhang said that, but he still took Dahan to find the young man.

The two were as familiar with South Dongting Lake as they were at home, and they rowed a boat and soon came to the vicinity of Junshan Island.

Dozens of feet away, they saw the young man in white sitting on a small wooden boat.

A sudden wind blew up the boy's long hair, revealing the earrings under his left ear.

Although this big man is not good at gambling, his eyesight is still very good, and he noticed that the young man had a jewel earring hanging from his left ear. He asked suspiciously, "I said uncle, this handsome-looking child can't be a girl, right?" ”

The old fisherman touched his chin and said, "No, it won't drop." I greeted him when he first arrived. And in my experience, it must be a boy to be born so cute. ”

"Then why is he wearing an earring?"

"I guess it's for the sake of feeding." Lao Zhang had this intuition, but thinking of this child's fierce performance, he shook his head and said, "But this baby is very powerful, it shouldn't be." Oh, where do we know the thoughts of rich and noble people? ”

The young man, who looked like an old monk, seemed to hear their discussions, and suddenly turned his head to look at them, his big eyes glowing with a palpitating green light.

When the two of them saw this situation, where did they still have the intention of ridiculing? Immediately frightened, he rowed away as fast as he could.

The green light in the young man's eyes converged, and he looked at the two people who fled in a hurry and were a little confused. He touched his stomach and muttered, "Is it so scary that I look hungry?" ”

Then, he stretched out his head to look in the mirror on the water, and said with satisfaction: "Hey, it's still so handsome and cute, it seems that I don't have to waste time taking a bath today." ”

The boy felt that it was not because he was lazy to take a bath, but because he was extremely diligent in his cultivation. So diligent that he didn't even want to move unless he felt it was necessary.

Just like he was just wandering for a moment, he felt like he was wasting his time. He patted his face: "You can't relax, continue to cultivate!" ”

But just a moment later, the boy lay down directly on the boat, stared blankly at the misty sky, touched his stomach and thought in chagrin: How can I settle down when I am hungry and can't calm down? If you don't settle down, you can only use that headache method to cultivate. Really, why hasn't she come yet? Isn't that thousand-mile note of mine being used in vain? What a cheat! That talisman is so expensive!

Another cool breeze blew by, bringing the waves of the lake to the surface, and also taking away the fatigue and boredom of the boy, and it seemed to bring him a refreshing smell.

The tip of the boy's nose moved slightly, and he did smell some good smells, including the aroma of rice, vegetables, meat, and the wonderful fragrance of his daughter. He immediately burst into laughter and shouted, "What if you're hungry?" The lovely bright moon brought me food! ”
