Chapter 12: Fishing

When the huge grass carp jumped, the dark clouds all over the sky quickly converged above the dragon gate, and the thunder light that had only hovered between the clouds descended in wisps and hit the fish body.

At first, the thunder light that fell was still like a thread, but then it fused into a finger-thick pillar of thunder, intertwined into a power grid and rushed down. The fish jumped towards the dragon gate with layers of power grids, and its body was like a layer of fishing nets with a bright white light, and the electric light was scurrying, shining on people's eyes.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Shao Zongyan seems to smell the burnt smell of grilled fish. He pinched the handle of the umbrella tightly, and couldn't bear to see this tragic scene again, but he was afraid of missing the moment when he jumped over the dragon gate, so he silently recited "Taishang Laojun Said Changqing Jingjing", one to pray that Yan Hanjiang could turn into a dragon as he wished, and the other to meditate for himself.

However, layers of thunder nets still dragged the grass carp. The thunder falling from the clouds became heavier and heavier, and in the end it was thicker than the body of the grass carp.

At that moment, the thunder and the snow-white water droplets blended, and it was almost impossible to tell where there was water and where there was thunder. The black body of the fish was swallowed up by the waves below in an instant, and it was impossible to see no matter how much it looked. The dragon gate that devoured the grass carp also smashed into the river like a waterfall, and after setting off a few wave peaks, it completely blended into the river, and there was no trace, only the slightest wisp of grilled fish aroma lingered on the end of the human nose.

Shao Zongyan was so anxious that he couldn't wait to fish out the fish when it fell into the water. When the waves on the water were calmed down, he held the handle of the umbrella and threw it back and forth, shouting the name of the grass carp: "Yan Xianchang!" Yan Hanjiang, where are you? How to use this umbrella, how to find you, this is ......"

The umbrella is not easy to use, but he himself has good water quality, so he can simply dive down to find fish. Anyway, if such a big fish falls into the river, it will not be invisible, and it is a big deal to swim more than ten miles along the water, as long as the Yan Han River does not let the fishermen along the way catch it and eat it, it can always be found.

Saving people is like fighting fire, and he can't think too much about it at this time, so he put his umbrella under his arm and strode through the undulating river.

The river was bitterly cold in late autumn, and when it fell, a wave opened up and smashed him into the rapids deep underwater. Fortunately, he was good at the water, and after entering the water, he relaxed his body and drifted down the water, opened his eyes, and tried to find the injured giant grass carp.

At this time, the black umbrella under his armpit suddenly shook, and he was about to leave him. Shao Zongyan quickly grabbed the handle of the umbrella and swam out with that force, but not long after, he found a small fish with a half-flipped stomach in the downstream water. The restless tip of the umbrella calmed down when it touched it, and a faint aura spread from the umbrella to the fish, illuminating the dark waters for a few minutes.

With the light of that spiritual light, Shao Zongyan could determine from its head and posture that it was a grass carp, but the size did not match the original, and it was only the size of a palm, and the scales on its body were either turned over or scorched, and it was dying with the water.

However, these fairies are also different from mortals, maybe they will become smaller after being injured, and they can save some mana to heal their injuries, right? Shao Zongyan recognized that the fish was Yan Hanjiang, so he quickly swam forward for a while, opened the umbrella, and carried the fish with water from the bottom to the top like a basket, swinging on his legs, and stepping on the water to drill out of the river.

It was not far from the place where he jumped into the water, and after he floated up, he carefully observed the environment, and found that no one was blocking him outside, so he safely dragged his umbrella to the river. However, he only went ashore by himself, still soaked the umbrella and fish in the deeper water, took out the space blanket with one hand to wrap his body, and asked the grass carp in the cold wind: "Can Yan Xianchang hear me?" Do you have any friends or fellow immortals in your neighborhood to entrust? If not, four hundred miles away from this river is the office of the Wanxian League, I can borrow a house there, if Brother Yan doesn't dislike it, you might as well live with me for a while. ”

He still has some experience in fish farming before, although he is raised to spit out mud and sand before eating, but he also knows that when raising fish, he needs to change the water, feed him, and clean the fish feces. Thinking about it, Yan Hanjiang is not an ordinary fish, even if he is injured, he is stronger than ordinary fish, and he will eat and drink by himself, so that he will not die in his hands.

The little fish in the umbrella sticks its head out of the water, opens its mouth, and spits out a round bubble. At the same time, a voice that was as cold as before, but with some weakness and shortness of breath, sounded in his head: "There is Lao Shao Daoyou, I came from Zongzheng Small World to jump the dragon gate, and there are no acquaintances in this vicinity. If you can send me back to my hometown, I will be rewarded when I get home. ”

It's good to have a home, and if you have a home, you don't have to worry about what will happen to the more than 400 miles of land back to Wanxian League. It just so happens that he is still wanted in this world, if he goes to the world of immortal prosperity with this Brother Yan Dao, maybe it will be easier to find the office of the immortal to place an order.

Shao Zongyan agreed without saying a word, first tied the handle of the umbrella to the schoolbag, took off his clothes, wrapped himself in a space blanket and rubbed a few handfuls in the river, wrung it half-dry and put it back on. Then he took out a cleanly brushed cast iron pot from his bag and shook it on the umbrella: "I don't have a guy with water in my hand, so I have to grieve Brother Yan to accommodate himself in the pot first." ”

The eyes of the grass carp grow on the sides of the face, and they can't turn up, and they don't know if they see the iron pot. However, when he scooped up the fish and put it inside, the body of the grass carp involuntarily bent upward, and its tail slapped on the water skin, and finally lay down in the small pot with restraint.

Shao Zongyan was afraid that someone would squat on the side of the maple forest to guard him, so he simply hid the small pot in his arms, threw the umbrella into the life kit, and returned to the maple forest wrapped in a silver shining space blanket. Under the strange gaze of everyone, he walked back to the teleportation array with his head down and his face covered, and asked NPC Qingjing to teleport him to the small world of Zongzheng.

However, after teleporting, he found that this world was ......

The world here is more like a fairy world than he imagined!

There are carts all over the ground that do not use oxen to pull horses; I don't know how many floors there are, and they are so high that they reach into the sky; There is also a big iron bridge built on dry land, and the people on the bridge don't have to walk by themselves at all, and the bridge deck takes people up! Those houses did not have a flying arch, but stood squarely on the ground like large bricks, and on one of the walls, I don't know what kind of fairy magic was cast, and the picture of several people jumping and jumping kept flashing.

If he hadn't seen Qingjing Shangxian and Teacher Shen, he would have opened his eyes, but now I'm afraid he would have been frightened by these strange scenes!

In fact, he is also a little scared now. However, as a temporary worker of the Ten Thousand Immortals League, a quasi-cultivator who had even seen the cosmic starry sky and the golden crow illusion, he still maintained his image very well, calmly ripped off the space blanket and put it in his bag, hugged the iron pot and asked, "Brother Yan, where is your home?" ”

The grass carp wagged its tail weakly in the pot, and said: "From Huamao Building down is the subway, take the subway to Songhua Station, come out and walk along the road for 300 meters, 1601, 16th floor, Building 2, Taoyuan Community is my home." ”

Shao Zongyan looked around, but found a high-rise building with the sign of Huamao Building, but he didn't see any "subway" under it, and asked inexplicably: "What is the subway?" We're on the street right now, how can we 'go down' from the building? ”

"Inside the advanced building, take the elevator downstairs to the basement floor, where there is a subway passage."

Fish have no vocal cords, and they can't make sounds if they don't take on a human form, so Yan Hanjiang's voice is directly in Shao Zongyan's head. Mortals, on the other hand, can only hold the pot and ask one step at a time, from how to enter the revolving door to how to take the elevator, they must carefully ask clearly, for fear that they will make any mistakes.

Fortunately, this is a world of faces, and he holds a pot of raw fish and whispers to ask questions that are only common sense to be regarded as a pet, and likes to talk to small fish, rather than directly calling the police or notifying the hospital that a mentally ill person has escaped. Under the tolerant onlookers of fellow travelers, he squeezed into the elevator peacefully holding a pot of water and a fish, and pressed the B1 button with his own hands under the guidance of Yan Hanjiang.

Gently pressed, did not dare to force. He was afraid that he was a martial arts practitioner, and his hands were too heavy, and he would press such a delicate and beautiful little thing, so he immediately withdrew his hand after feeling the key being pressed, and then pretended to be indifferent and peeked at the flashing numbers on the elevator.

The elevator door soon opened again, and he was pushed out by the people behind him, and then pushed into the subway entrance.

Then the problem comes, live fish are not allowed in the subway.

Shao Zongyan stood in a dilemma at the entrance of the security check with an iron pot, his half-wet and half-dry straight hair and messy hair hanging down to the side of his face made him particularly desolate, and even the staff couldn't help but sympathize with him: "I saw that you have suffered a lot in order to catch this fish, did you fall into the river?" It's not easy to catch such a small fish in an afternoon. But we don't have a rule here that you can't bring live fish in, or you can take a car, and there is a station a little north of the building. ”

The grass carp in the pot spoke again, but it was lower and more ethereal than just now, and said tiredly: "The subway is not allowed to bring live fish, but it can be brought to death, you can find a place to pour the water in the pot, and then find a plastic bag to put me up." I'll pretend to be a dead fish and go in with you, and there won't be a few stops anyway, so you won't have an accident if you soak in the water for a while. ”

Is it really not going to happen?

Shao Zongyan carefully took out a transparent plastic bag for water from the survival bag, fished out the grass carp and poured it in. The water in the pot was not poured, but put into the bag along with the water - the things that were put in the survival bag were like being put into a separate space like the Boundary Order, so there was no need to worry about spilling the water in the pot when the schoolbag changed position. After waiting for the security check to take out the pot and throwing the fish inside, it saved him from holding on for so long.

After such a toss, he finally smuggled Yan Hanjiang as a grass carp bought in the vegetable market and passed the security check.

But after the first level, there is a second level - you have to buy a ticket to enter the subway. Where does Shao Zongyan have the money of this world, he almost wants to pull people to watch fortunes by the ticket machine and earn some black money. Fortunately, Yan Hanjiang is still a grass carp with a good way, although he was struck by lightning and couldn't turn into a human form, but he still had a way to block his eyes, so he gritted his teeth and jumped a few times in the plastic pocket, tossed off a few burnt scales, and turned them into coins for humans to take to buy tickets.

He was in a transparent plastic bag, and his vision was much better than in the iron pot, so he let Shao Zongyan carry himself to the ticket machine, and while talking, he shook his head and tail and pecked at the screen, and finally cooperated to buy the right ticket and enter the subway station.

After entering the station, Shao Zongyan avoided the staff and secretly poured him into the pot, held his hands in front of his chest with a space blanket, and sat down smoothly at the station.

After leaving the station, walk another 300 meters, and it is the community where Yan Hanjiang lives. Shao Zongyan entered from the main entrance of the community according to his instructions, and after turning a short distance along the path, he arrived in front of the building. The door is burglar-proof, and there is a walkie-talkie next to it. Yan Hanjiang didn't know where he was struck by lightning with his keys, mobile phone, wallet, and card, but he still had a way to face this gate that had been in and out for several years, and he spit bubbles and asked Shao Zongyan to press the left-hand button in the 16th grid from bottom to top.

"That family is an old neighbor to me, and I used to ask him to sign for me when I was not at home. My key is placed under the mat at the door, and you just say here that you are delivering a courier to 1601, and he will open the door for you. ”

Shao Zong was about to press the walkie-talkie, but the heavy security door was pushed open from the inside, and a tall man dressed in his thirties walked out of the building. The man was burly, holding the doorknob with one hand to block it, there was no room for further entry and exit, Shao Zongyan was afraid that the other party would misunderstand that he was a bad guy who broke into the house, so he hurriedly said: "I'm here to send a fast ...... to 1601."

He was unfamiliar with the word courier, and after a pause in the middle, the man naturally grabbed the words, and said with a smile: "Bring boiled fish to 1601?" He doesn't get tired of eating, and he doesn't get afraid of getting angry when he eats this all day long. ”

Shao Zongyan glanced down at the pot, water, and fish, and shook his head vigorously.

The man also stretched his neck to look into the pot, and when he saw the grass carp lying on the bottom of the pot without vitality, the smile on his face suddenly changed to surprise: "How is it a live fish?" Which store are you from, there is actually a door-to-door fish service, I also want to order one, do you have a business card? ”
