Chapter 510: Years in the Mountains
I don't know when, a strange man in a white shirt quietly walked up to Feng Man's side, whistled lightly, and asked her in a daze: "Miss, if you need help, I am willing to help!" ”
Feng Man, who was sad, was suddenly startled by the visitor, and subconsciously spat and said, "Deng's disciple!" ”
The man in the white shirt made a look of surprise: "You are looking for a disciple?" Hehe, then don't look for it, I am. ”
The expression on Feng Man's face instantly froze, as if he had fallen under a spell, and muttered to himself: "Xiaoxian, is it you?" ”
This scene was exactly the same as when he first met Lu Xiaoxian, even every sentence was the same, how could Feng Man not be shocked.
"Of course it's me!" Lu Xiaoxian smiled brightly.
"Your face?" Feng Man pointed at Lu Xiaoxian, not knowing what to say.
"If you don't change your face, how can you repeat the scene you met back then?" Lu Xiaoxian grinned and said, "I remember that you still had a sentence back then!" ”
"If you don't leave, I'll call someone!" Lu Xiaoxian's expression and tone of voice were vividly learned.
"Xiao Xian!" Feng Man whimpered, the birds returned to his arms like a nest, the pink fist gently beat his chest, tears splashed, really like a pear blossom with spring rain, making people feel inexplicable pity and coquettishness.
Lingzhuzi unconsciously turned his face away.
……
See Qifeng Mountain again.
The sky was drizzling, and the hazy rain and mist covered the mountains, and everything seemed flickering, and there was a feeling of wanting to talk and being ashamed. The rain has made Qifeng Mountain more water, and the tentacles are all there. Hurried, soothing, slowly flowing. Water is the eye of the mountain, and water makes the style of the mountain show spiritual elegance. The clouds are heavy, the sky is low, the wind is tight, and the mountains are empty, filled with the moist smell of grass and earth.
The mountain ** after the rain is strangely quiet, and the slightest sound can be heard really. The mountain springs in the ditch streams, or the sound of dingdong bit by bit, or the trickle of shallow chanting and singing.
At noon, Lu Xiaoxian and his party finally arrived at the top of the mountain.
Seeing Lu Xiaoxian, the lack of virtue grimace flashed with surprise.
He was shrewd, but he didn't expect Lu Xiaoxian to suddenly appear in front of him, making him scramble for a while. But soon, he regained his former cunning.
The immoral ghost served a pot of tea and poured a bowl for Lu Xiaoxian, Lu Xiaoyi and Zhang Meng. This is a rich Qifeng Yunwu tea, Lu Xiaoxian picked up the bowl and drank it all, and the feeling seemed to be very memorable.
He put down the tea bowl and looked at the immoral ghost.
It's old, and the ghost who lacks virtue is really old. The years are like a sharp knife, ruthlessly carving vicissitudes on his forehead.
"Master, I've come to see your old man!" Lu Xiaoxian said with a grin.
"Shh The immoral ghost pursed his lips, "You will come to see me, I don't believe it!" Say, what's the trouble again? ”
Although he said so, the ghost who lacked virtue was still quite useful in his heart. Lu Xiaoxian rarely called him master, and at first glance he felt warm in his heart.
The ghost who lacks virtue knows this apprentice of his too well, he is simply a ghost elf, and he may not be able to produce some kind of moth.
"It's a little trouble!" Lu Xiaoxian was very thick-skinned, "I have to come forward, Master, your old man!" ”
"Say it!" Lack of virtue and ghosts.
Lu Xiaoxian said his plan, he said it very slowly, and he had to be detailed.
The immoral ghost listened very carefully.
"Is it over?" The Lack of Virtue Ghost asked, tilting his head.
"It's over!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded.
The immoral ghost shook his head with a wry smile: "You are too big to do this, and you still cause a little trouble?" ”
"Then it depends on whom, for you, Master, isn't this a trivial matter!" Lu Xiaoxian said with a hippie smile.
The Lack of Virtue Ghost groaned, "Is he really worth the risk you take?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't know if it's right for me to do this, but I know that if I don't do it, my conscience will be disturbed for the rest of my life!" ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoxian looked at the lack of virtue and said: "You said that if a person is too swayed by emotions, he will definitely not be able to achieve great things." Master, maybe I'm just someone who can't make great things! Not only him, but if it were you, Master, I would do the same! ”
The immoral ghost bowed slightly, and patted Lu Xiaoxian's shoulder: "I understand!" However, I can't do this alone, so I have to discuss it with your second uncle! Wait a minute! ”
Seeing that the ghost of lack of virtue went to discuss with the old slippery head, Lu Xiaoxian knew that there was a drama in this matter, and his heart suddenly became relaxed.
As soon as the immoral ghost left, he saw a middle-aged man in brown cloth enter the house.
"Hello senior brother!" The middle-aged man saluted Lu Xiaoxian.
Lu Xiaoxian showed a look of surprise on his face: "King Anping, it's you!" ”
The person in front of him was none other than Wang Wu Youxu of Anping County, who resigned and went into hiding. After resigning, Wu Youxu came directly to Qifeng Mountain, and now he is the apprentice of the ghost who lacks virtue. Because of the late apprenticeship, it is natural to call Lu Xiaoxian a senior brother.
"There is no king of Anping in the world, only a fisherman in the mountains!" Wu Youxu invited, "Can you accompany me to fishing?" ”
Although Wu Youxu was invited, his tone was unquestionable.
"Are there fish in this mountain?" Lu Xiaoxian was full of questions.
"Yes! I'm not fooling you, come with me. ”
The majestic South Mountains stretch and undulate, stretching for thousands of miles, and the dense forests are lush and green, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other. The two chatted all the way, and it could be seen that Wu Youxu was very satisfied with the current day. Since entering the mountain, he has been following the lack of virtue and ghost heart to study "Zhou Yi" and Taoism, reading, playing the piano, refining medicine, fishing, and indulging in mountains and rivers have become the whole of his life.
The two of them followed a rugged path and finally came to a pool.
This pond is formed by a small stream, hidden under a primeval jungle, the water of the pond is deep and secluded, the scenery is beautiful, and the surface of the pool is tens of meters wide. The steep left bank of the forest is insignificant, the towering ancient trees, hanging entangled vines are reflected in the secluded pool, and some fallen leaves flutter in the shore shadow of the pool.
In later generations, Lu Xiaoxian fished. Even after the crossing, he also fished in Kushui Village. But compared to Wu Youxu, it is simply not worth mentioning.
Wu Youxu's fishing rod is very simple, the fishing line is kneaded into a thin rope with a sewing line and then tied to a branch, while the fishing hook is bent into a hook shape with a thin wire.
The way of fishing is simpler, he puts a piece of bait on the hook, but he only catches half of the hook, and the other half of the hook is exposed, shining in the sun.
"If the hook is exposed outside the bait, won't the fish find the hook?" Lu Xiaoxian asked puzzled.
"With bait, no matter how conspicuous the hook is, the fish can't see it." Wu Youxu said lightly.
Sure enough, after a while, my friend caught a fish. The hook-swallowing fish is jumping and struggling on the shore.
Lu Xiaoxian sighed, seeing the bait, but not seeing the disaster in front of him, how can these poor fish?
After a while, Wu Youxu caught a lot of fish, but he had to roughly measure each one he caught. If the fish is too big, he will throw it back into the pool.
Lu Xiaoxian asked puzzledly: "Why do you throw all the big fish back into the river?" ”
"Because the kitchen pot is only so long, it can't fit too big a fish." Wu Youxu said as he gestured.
Listening to Wu Youxu's words, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but look sideways: "It's good to use it" is also a good attitude towards life.
In Wu Youxu's mind, power and wealth are things that are not worth his painstaking pursuit. Compared with the beautiful family of the mansion and the official title, he prefers to be a carefree landscape watcher, a bosom friend of the forest bird.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoxian was silent, Wu Youxu turned his head and said, "Do you believe it?" Even if you don't have bait, sometimes the fish will take the bait! ”
Lu Xiaoxian pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't believe it!" ”
"You come with me!" Wu Youxu got up.
Walking forward along the stream that flowed to the deep pool, Lu Xiaoxian set off with Wu Youxu with a head full of questions.
There is no hustle and bustle, it is very quiet, only the wind blows softly, and the occasional song of unknown birds can be heard. The mountains are full of verdant mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, with overgrown shrubs and weeds. The meandering ravines can be heard and the gurgling streams can be heard, and the water is unusually clean and clean.
Finally, Wu Youxu found a place where the stream flowed back and went down the ditch, and told Lu Xiaoxian to be silent.
There are no earthworms or other bait, just a few threads are torn from the body and tied to the so-called hooks in small pieces.
What does this mean, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't figure it out.
After a while, Wu Youxu quickly hooked up, and with a flick of the pole, a small fish more than half a foot long with silver glitter was caught.
Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Wu Youxu smiled, and softly introduced the skills to Lu Xiaoxian, and instructed him to concoct them according to the law.
In less than half an hour, Lu Xiaoxian caught more than 20 fish.
The scales of the fish are very small, and there is a pale red stripe from head to tail on the fish, and since the hook has no barb spines, the fish must be removed quickly after catching it, otherwise the fish will struggle to fall into the stream and swim away.
Lu Xiaoxian asked Wu Youxu why he could catch this fish without a hook with a hook, and he didn't use bait?
Wu Youxu told Lu Xiaoxian with a smile that this fish is a cold-water fish, which is only found in the mountains, and the taste is extremely delicious, but this fish is not big, that is, about half a foot. Because it is in the inaccessible mountains, there is little infestation, and a brown thread is tied to the hook so that the fish think it is an edible thing, and quickly swallow it, and it is naturally caught.
On the way, Wu Youxu also went to the bushes to pick some red thorn rose fruits.
After going back, Lu Xiaoxian really tasted the stewed fish very quickly.
Coarse salt and garlic cloves are placed in the fish stew, and the aroma of the fish can be smelled from afar, which makes people salivate. The fish is crispy, has no fishy smell, and is very delicious. Lu Xiaoxian ate three bowls of fish and fish soup, not to mention the fragrance.
……
The lack of virtue ghost had a complicated expression, looked at Lu Xiaoxian and said, "We can help with your affairs, but you have to promise us one condition first!" ”
Glancing at the old slipper and Xie Yunxuan standing behind the immoral ghost, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There are very few people in this world who can be as desireless and wantless as Wu Youxu.
