40|Those days of fish farming
The next morning, Shao Zongyan came to his senses, only to find that he was nested in the arms of the grass carp, and he was covered with a smooth big fish tail. His forehead was against the neck socket of the grass carp, and his whole body rolled to the outside of the bed, squeezing the grass carp to the side of the bed only a little, and it was thanks to his arms hooking his back and the tail of the fish wrapped around his legs, so that he was not squeezed under the bed.
This, this posture...... Here's how to sleep! He was almost caught raped in bed, and he never did it like this once!
Shao Daochang's face was hot, he held his breath, carefully pulled the arm around his waist away, and leaned his upper body back, trying to move his body back and destroy the scene before the grass carp woke up. But the arm is easy to move, but the fishtail under it is much bigger than a human leg, and the side that covers him is covered with hot body and bed, except that it is a little heavy and slippery...... Full of wonderful?
He glanced up, and saw that Yan Hanjiang was still closed, his breathing was subtle and smooth, as if he hadn't woken up, so he quietly reached out and scratched the fishtail. When the fingertips touch the smooth scales, where the edges of the scales are closed, the two fins below the waist of the fish feel very similar to ordinary grass carp that can be eaten. Perhaps it was a relationship that had been lying in the bed for a long time, but the tail was dry, and it seemed to be covered with a thin membrane, and if you scratched from the bottom up, the scales on it would be turned up a little, revealing the inky skin below.
It's more fun than a small fish the size of a palm.
He was afraid that he would wake up the grass carp, so he didn't dare to use too hard. After a few strokes, he reached into the gap, held the long fishtail, and tried to lift it. However, just as he was about to exert himself, the fishtail in his hand fluttered, slipped out of his hand, and smashed into his leg again.
The grass carp essence, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and he pressed his hand and said: "The tail of the fish can't be touched casually, even if the brain doesn't react, the spinal cord will control the muscles to rebound naturally." β
Shao Zongyan's face was hot, and he smiled embarrassedly: "It turns out that Brother Yan, you are awake." I'm afraid you're uncomfortable sleeping like this, and I want to move a place for you to come out. β
Yan Hanjiang pressed the back of his head into his arms, flicked his tail, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes and said, "No, I'm used to it." β
The two of them made up for a full sleep, and they didn't get up until the third pole of the day.
The small restaurant outside had already started to open, and the smell of oil smoke came into their ears with the noisy voices, and there was a knocking sound in the small courtyard like a knock on the door, so noisy that Yan Hanjiang had to take the fishtail and let Shao Zongyan get out of bed and open the door.
Shao Daochang had been lying down for too long, his eyelids were swollen, his cheeks were covered red, a large pillow mark was printed on his left cheek, and his hair was also rubbed messily by Yan Hanjiang, looking like he had just spent a night of spring. The guy who came in hurriedly lowered his head after taking a look, and the momentum of knocking on the door of the east house in the early morning was also put away, and he bowed his head and said: "The owner, Wang Gongzi, the nephew of Jiangzhou Zhizhou, is here, and he wants to eat the dishes you made, and he is waiting outside, and he wants you to send the dishes out to him to apologize." Our little people can't afford to provoke officials, so you can quickly make a dish to apologize to Wang Gongzi. β
Oh, he even provoked the waiter's family back then, so what is there to be nervous about a nephew of Zhizhou who has no reputation. Shao Daochang gathered his sleeping clothes and waved his hand calmly: "You go out and tell him that the owner is not here, and he has already gone out to enjoy the mountains and rivers." β
Don't mind! refuted the face of the local governor's nephew so arrogantly, do you want to open the restaurant! The guy was so anxious that he was about to cry: "Are you evil, boss?" I've been holding that grass carp since yesterday and won't let go, and now I'm going out again - that fish is a stunning goblin, she won't give you food or clothing, and you won't offend your parents for her! β
It's not a stunning goblin, but a person who provides him with food and clothing, and gives him money to open a shop...... Daoist Shao glanced towards the main hall and smiled secretly. is a male goblin who is "Lang Yan unique, and there is no other in the world".
"Even if he hasn't left yet, he's about to leave, so let him wait if the prince wants to wait. I have not been able to come back for a long time after going out this time, and there is still a lot of silver sent on the counter, so you can hire a cook to open the shop as well, and you can do it yourself if you close the shop, so you don't have to wait for me to come back. β
He lifted the collar of the man, threw the person out of the courtyard lightly, waved his hand and touched the courtyard door with his aura, and held up the latch to fight against gravity and friction, and pressed it firmly on the latch.
Although in this series of processes, he relied on his feelings when observing and mobilizing his spiritual power to adjust his strength, and he didn't use those formulas to calculate it at all, but ...... It's long to come, so it's good to be able to use it!
There was also a gentle slap behind him, Yan Hanjiang walked out of the main hall, and praised warmly: "Well done, the aura used to overcome resistance and gravity is very accurate, it seems that you have studied mechanics with your heart this year." β
Shao Zongyan was embarrassed to say that he relied on his hands, nodded vaguely, and said, "Brother Yan's jumping over the dragon gate must not be delayed, don't get involved in mundane things for me." I'm going to pack up some useful things, and let's go. β
The two of them went back to the room to clean up in the sound of slamming the door behind them, and went to the small kitchen to collect food and charcoal, and finally even raised herring, blackfish, and silver carp raised in the big tank in the yard did not let go, and took a tablecloth and threw it into the survival bag.
Yan Hanjiang sat under the porch and folded the paper crane slowly, and when he finished cleaning up, he threw the paper crane into the courtyard, blew it, and turned into a white crane. Shao Zongyan had never seen this kind of immortal method, so he leaned over and looked at the crane carefully, stretching out his hand as if he wanted to touch it but didn't dare to touch it.
Yan Hanjiang paced to the side of the white crane, stretched out his hand to support his waist, let him ride on the crane's back, and he also turned over and rode behind, controlling the crane to fly up and straight into the clouds.
The cold wind with humidity in the clouds came to his face, and Yan Hanjiang only waved his sleeves behind him, and the wind was blocked from the two of them, and the cold air also turned into a faint dampness and coldness that humans have to be comfortable with. Shao Zongyan was a little worried at the beginning that the paper crane couldn't help the weight of the two, but after a while, he relaxed his heart, touched the warm and real feathers on the top of the crane, and looked back and smiled: "Brother Yan is worthy of being a Yuanying monk, this crane lives like a real thing." β
Yan Hanjiang only shook his head lightly: "This is also a helpless move." Your house lives in the downtown area, if there is a demon wind that blows away your strange news, your house will not be able to open a restaurant or appreciate in the future. β
Brother Yan really ...... Considerate.
Shao Zongyan was moved, but also understood why he had to insist on jumping the dragon gate - the black wind and dark clouds he released in the desert were demonic at a glance, and the clouds ridden by the dragon clan were not golden but white in the legend, and the appearance was really much better.
===================================
The two of them flew by crane, relying on the water tribe's spiritual sensitivity to the instinctive nature of dragon qi, and flew from Luocheng, where the teleportation array was located, to the place where the water spirits in the lower reaches of the Yingjiang River in the south gathered, that is, the water area where the Dragon Gate would be born, Hantian Gorge.
This place is like a throat, the nine water veins are stuck in the extremely narrow canyon, the rapid rushing river is restricted by the extremely tight waterway to form a whirlpool, and the aura rushing with the water is also restrained by this natural landform, forming the land of the birth of dragons.
At this time, it has entered September, the rivers are rising, and the continuous autumn rain has washed the upstream river into a vast ocean with snow-white waves, and the river water is like a running ox, and there are almost no people on the opposite side of the two banks. When the wide water surface flows to this place, it is forcibly harvested by the steep mountains on both sides, and the white waves have nowhere to go, so they can only squeeze along the mountain wall to the top of their heads, and reach the top of the mountain with great momentum.
Standing on the cliffs on both sides, it seems that as long as you can step on the crest of that peak. Yan Hanjiang stepped into the air, walked slowly to the sky above the spirit vortex, let the high wave tips under his feet wet the upper of his shoes, Zhenyuan communicated with the local water veins, and counted the days when the dragon gate was opened.
This time it was lucky, the day the dragon gate opened turned out to be three days later on September 13.
For the sake of convenience, the two simply did not go down the mountain, and made do with them on the mountain.
Yan Hanjiang's belongings were still in the survival bag, so Shao Zongyan took out the double bed, pulled a rope on the tree next to him to dry the bedding, and let the sun soften the cotton wool inside.
There happened to be a sparse forest on the top of the cliff, so he took a knife and cut a few trees, peeled them into bare logs by Yan Hanjiang's spell, tied them around the bed into a nearly conical shelf, covered them with large plastic surfaces, and finally covered them with layers of soft cypress branches on the outside, so that the cold wind could not penetrate them, and it was very warm to sleep at night.
There are also a lot of stones of suitable size on the top of the cliff, just enough to build an earthen stove, and the firewood can be stuffed into it to burn the fire, and the pot can also be set up, making cooking more convenient and simple.
Since he had eaten a lot yesterday, he simply warmed up some of the broth brought from the kitchen, put a board on the flat stone, and kneaded a ball of noodles with cold broth. When the noodles are a little soft, they are rolled out into thin slices, stacked and cut into thin strips and poured into the soup.
The broth made of chicken, duck, and tubular bones is boiled by the fire, and the noodles tumble up and down with the splash of boiling water. Shao Zongyan beat two more poached eggs, and the boiling white foam was temporarily suppressed, and the soup noodles were tumbling with a small blister, which looked light but attractive.
After a while, the poached eggs were cooked, and he sprinkled a handful of chicken hair vegetables on the soup noodles, covered the pot and removed the pot from the stove, and made out the dishes and chopsticks and coffee table to prepare for dinner.
Yan Hanjiang sat on the log next to him, and as soon as he stretched out his hand towards the canyon below, water sprayed up like a tap and poured it on his hand carefully and evenly. Shao Zongyan very consciously leaned over to wash his hands, washed up by the way, and then lifted the lid of the pot and began to serve noodles.
The chicken hair cabbage is extremely fresh and tender, and it is cooked after a little blanching, and it floats raw on the soup noodles; The yolk of the poached egg has just been completely solidified, and it is a tender light yellow; Paired with a slightly cloudy noodle soup and noodles with the original color of wheat flour, the mere look at it is appetizing. The umami of the soup stock completely penetrates into the noodles, and every bite of the noodles is full of flavor, and the hot noodle soup is the best food to warm up, and a bowl of belly will dispel the cold that has been dyed on the top of the mountain for a long time.
Although there is neither wifi nor TV in this world, practitioners can endure loneliness the most, as long as a set of "Five Hundred Questions on the Basic Knowledge of Cultivating Immortals" is enough for them to spend time teaching and learning.
Three days passed in a flash.
On the morning of September 13, Yan Hanjiang brought up the water full of spiritual energy in the river, and both of them took a bath with this water, and waited for the dragon gate to open.
As time passed, the originally clear sky overhead gradually piled up a thick layer of clouds, and the white waves in the water continued to climb along the mountain wall, gradually rising to the same height as the cliff top. However, the water that should have flowed from the upper reaches suddenly turned back and came up from the lower reaches of the canyon, merging with the rising waves and forming a dam in the air.
Yan Hanjiang took a deep breath of thick aura, and his eyes were full of expectation: "The dragon gate is about to open, even if you can't jump over it in one fell swoop this time, at least you can withstand the seven thunder tribulations, and you will have another dragon line." β
He walked to the middle of the river and waited for the gate to close. Shao Zongyan still remembered the last time he jumped the dragon gate, and hurriedly took out the black umbrella from the life jacket and held it in his arms, nervously waiting for the result of his jumping dragon gate.
The dragon gate was finally fully opened, and this time Shao Zongyan was no longer an ordinary person, and he could see something other than the white wavesβthe aura of this water area also converged from the bottom of the gorge and attached to the dragon gate, adding a splendor to it.
A silver snake gradually flashed in the dark clouds overhead, and Yan Hanjiang's body swung and turned into a huge grass carp that was more than a foot long and jumped into the air.
A thunderbolt also swirled down from the clouds, slashing at the grass carp's blue-black back. The heavens and the earth were illuminated by thunder, and the rumbling thunder sounded after a long time, and at this time, Yan Hanjiang was already entangled in a body of fine silver light and flicked in the air, and jumped towards the high dragon gate again.
The second thunderbolt continued to fall mercilessly, and the momentum was even more powerful than before.
Shao Zongyan stood on the shore and looked at it from afar, feeling frightened, and he didn't dare to think about how painful Yan Hanjiang must have been to face the thunder head-on. He held the black umbrella tightly, silently praying for Yan Hanjiang to jump over the dragon gate, and on the other hand, he was ready to go into the water to catch fish at any time, which was even busier than Yan Hanjiang, who was under the attack of thunder.
One thunderbolt after another fell, and the familiar aroma of grilled fish gradually reappeared on the riverside, and just when Shao Zongyan was so nervous that he was about to scratch his palm, a gentle voice that should never have appeared at this moment suddenly sounded in his mind: "Check that there are player complaints, lifeguards, please be ready, the fixed-point teleportation will be opened immediately." β
No! No way! Brother Yan is still surviving the thunderstorm!
Shao Zongyan shouted desperately in his head, but the GM who issued the task did not respond, and instead the pale golden teleportation array began to flicker under his feet.
He had no choice but to use his spiritual power and shouted: "Brother Yan, I'm going to save people again, what ......should you do?"
After just saying such a sentence, the golden light around him became thicker, and his feet were fluttering, as if he was about to leave this realm. The dragon gate was still snow-white by the thunder, and the huge grass carp could not be seen at all, nor could the sound other than the thunder.
He was suspicious that Yan Hanjiang couldn't hear his words, and he was even more worried that he would leave, and he wouldn't be able to find anyone who went into the water to catch him. Falling in such turbulent water, if the whirlpool can't be sucked to the bottom of the water, or crashes into a stone or mountain wall, even if he is already a big goblin, there is no one who will not be injured!
The soles of his shoes had left the ground, and he was so worried that he didn't know what to do, when Yan Hanjiang's cold and calm voice suddenly sounded in the sea of knowledge: "Open the umbrella!" β
That's right, this umbrella is made by Brother Yan with the scales he dropped, and it must have a wonderful effect that attracts him! He hurriedly opened the black umbrella and looked nervously and expectantly at the place where the heavenly thunder was shining - at this time, his body had been pulled near the clouds by the teleportation array, and he didn't know if he still had time to get Yan Hanjiang in.
The black umbrella opened, and another faint light poured out from under the umbrella surface. Under a closer look, there was a palm-sized black fish dancing in the light, with wisps of silver light wrapped around its body, exuding a faint barbecue fragrance, but the scale shattering was much better than last time, and there was a golden line side by side from the center of the gills to the tail of the golden mark. The thread was absorbing the silver light that flowed through its body, and it became brighter and brighter as it was replenished by the tiny thunder light, and the whole fish looked golden and noble.
Brother Yan has skipped this dragon gate, or has he not skipped it?
If he is one step short of Jackie Chan because of him, how should he compensate Brother Yan?
He caught the grass carp distressedly, and put his weak hand on the injured part of the fish's body, and for the first time felt that the job he signed was not so good.
He gritted his teeth, his eyebrows almost frowned, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and his expression as if he was saying "come on, come on" turned into a pitiful "don't, don't", more seductive and fragile than usual. Yan Hanjiang lay in the palm of his hand, and with one eye facing upward, he took in his guilty and frightened appearance, then bent over, slapped it on his palm to attract his attention, and said with his divine sense: "You don't have to blame yourself, but this time it was thanks to you who pulled me over in time that I avoided the thunder." This time the injury is not serious, and when I complete the step of quenching the body of the thunder, I will be able to remanifest the Dao body. β
"But you still haven't jumped over the dragon gate!" So many thunders have been passed, and in the end, I didn't jump the dragon gate, didn't the front ones all split in vain?
Yan Hanjiang sighed lightly in his mind: "I'm afraid that I still won't be able to meet fate." But this time it's not all for nothing, I finally added another dragon line to my body, even if it is slowly accumulated, after accumulating nine dragon lines, I can turn into a dragon, and then boil into a dragon, and I am expected to become a real dragon. β
Although a scholar like him can find a sect in the world at will, and after reading tens of thousands of years, he will definitely be able to achieve a higher Dao fruit than the dragon, but he is such a persistent dragon, he has to boil out of the dragon body in this life, and resolutely does not climb to the peak of cultivation with the body of a grass carp!
He contracted the psoas muscle on the upper side again, and let the side face slap a few times in Shao Zongyan's palm as a comfort. Shao Zongyan thought that he was uncomfortable in his hands, so he hurriedly found a small fish tank, replaced it with a tank of clear and fresh water, and put the fish back in.
The long journey came to an end, and they landed in a corridor painted with delicate portraits. At the end of the corridor was a large ballroom, in which a band played delicate silk strings, smoking incense that he was unfamiliar with, but which he could basically guess the effect of a smell, and many men and women laughing and talking.
The laughter was mixed with some painful and faint β‘β‘, and there was a light recitation that was not too high, but was very alien to all the voices in the hall and the whole building: "The heart is not hindered, there is no obstacle, there is no terror, far from the upside-down dream......"
