Chapter Seventy-Two: The Old Turtle Repays the Favor and the Fish Leaps Over the Dragon Gate (Second Update)
Flowers and birds smell each other, and the warm spring squeaks.
On the lonely boat, Jiang Xiaobai was already silent and fished for an hour.
Today, unlike in the past, there are only sporadic catches in the fish basket on the water.
Jiang Xiaobai is not in a hurry or impatient, and always stays in one position.
On the water, the pontoons suddenly moved.
His grip on the pole didn't move.
The pontoon calmed down for a while, and then suddenly became anxious.
He still didn't move.
The pontoon suddenly stopped, and then quickly sank to the surface.
Jiang Xiaobai moved, holding the rod in his hand and lifting it up, the pole sank, and there was a movement of struggle.
It seems to be a relatively large fish.
He slowed down, pulled up, and a silver carp of four or five catties shook its tail and came out of the water.
However, the tarpon broke free so badly that it dangled twice in the air, broke free of the hook, plopped, and fell into the water again.
The water vortex swirled, and immediately disappeared.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai had no regrets about gaining and losing, and was ready to wear the bait again.
At this moment, a whirlpool the size of a millstone suddenly rose on the water surface a few feet away from the boat.
In the blink of an eye, a large blue-black head emerged from under the water.
The head was a big turtle.
The head of a turtle the size of a volleyball rises from under the water with a large silver carp in its mouth.
When Jiang Xiaobai saw it, his eyes lit up, and his mouth rose with a smile.
This old fellow, it's been a long time.
The head is the size of a volleyball, and the huge blue-green turtle shell is as big as a millstone, this kind of body type, except for the hundred-year-old turtle that Jiang Xiaobai saved at the beginning, who else.
The silver carp in the old turtle's mouth was the one that had escaped the hook just now, and there were still spots of blood on the fish's mouth.
But I saw the old turtle slowly swimming towards the boat where Jiang Xiaobai was, and when he was separated by a meter, he shook his head, and the silver carp in his mouth fell on the bow of the boat.
The tarpon still didn't give up on its fate, snapping on the deck of the ship.
"Thank you, old man. ”
When Jiang Xiaobai saw the old turtle like this, he felt funny and warm in his heart, and he was in a happier mood, and said with a smile.
After saving the old turtle, he treated it for a foot injury, stayed at home for two days, and then released it into the river.
The old turtle has already obtained the law, and it has its own creation, so naturally it cannot be allowed to stay in the yard, and the rivers are its territory.
It's been a month since I left last time, and I didn't expect this old turtle to still appear here.
At the beginning, Jiang Xiaobai was still thinking that last time he used his strength to help the old turtle bleed, and he was played by Da Bai again, it is estimated that the old turtle was frightened and had already left the river section in the peach blossoms.
Unexpectedly, this meeting, the other party also gave a "meeting gift", which made his somewhat gloomy mood empty a lot.
The old turtle looked at Jiang Xiaobai with big eyes, a strange cry in his mouth, and then plopped his huge body and swam around the boat.
The old fellow, it seems, is quite happy.
"Old man, you scared my fish away. ”
Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but smile, lifted the fishing rod, and said with a smile.
But I saw that the old turtle stopped swimming and was next to the bow of the boat, and then used his big body to push the canopy boat.
Jiang Xiaobai saw it and didn't understand the old turtle's actions.
After a while, he understood what the old turtle meant.
The old turtle wants to lead him to a place.
Jiang Xiaobai also thought it was interesting, so he motioned to the old turtle to lead the way, propped up the boat himself, and went to see where the old turtle was going to take him.
As a result, in the pure and secluded emerald river, there was a scene of a big turtle in front and a small boat behind.
After more than 20 minutes, I traveled more than ten miles of upstream waterways and passed through several small river forks.
The old turtle took Jiang Xiaobai to a sinkhole formed by the ridges of two low mountains.
The ridges of these two mountains are like pincers, restraining the water flowing down the mountains, and the turbulence shoots fiercely, stirring up white waves.
When the water flows through the pincer-like sinkhole, the river on both sides suddenly becomes wider, and the water level drops instantly.
This is a unique "Longmen Three Falls".
At this time, in this river valley, the eyes are full of white fish scales.
In the eye, the fish leap and tie into dense rows.
White dazzling.
In front, at the place of "Longmen Three Falls", the big fish with white flowers continue to meet the turbulent water above, sprint and jump, forming a rather spectacular image of "Fish Jumping over Longmen".
The miraculous record in the ancient scripture "Three Qin Records" - "Hejin is a dragon gate, the water is not passable, and the fish and turtles cannot be used." The big fish in the rivers and seas are thin and thousands under the dragon gate, and they are not allowed to go up, and the upper ones are dragons. ”
There are many rumors in mythological stories that there are fish jumping up to Hukou Waterfall in the ancient Yellow River and turning into a dragon.
Of course, these are too mythical, and it is estimated that the ancients saw this scene in front of them, opened their brains, and made up stories.
The reason why these fish swim upstream, rushing forward, is to follow the natural way of reproduction and rush to the warm waters upstream to spawn.
At this time, in the turbulent white water, you can see the big fish leaping up from under the water, shaking their tails vigorously and rushing into the countercurrent.
Some fell and rushed up, and many more were beaten down by the rushing water.
Either they die of exhaustion, or they are slapped on the rocks, or they fall into the mouths of the birds around them.
Torrent bravery, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and life and death will be out of the way.
It may not be appropriate to say "life and death are out of the way" to a fish, but there seems to be no other word to describe the scene in front of you that is not afraid of death and flies to the rapids.
It's a feast for birds, but it's a brutal natural knockout for the big fish.
Jiang Xiaobai understood the purpose of the old turtle bringing him here.
He thought he needed fish, so he brought him to this valley full of fish.
After this old turtle learned wisdom, he knew that he would repay the peach.
At this time, it was indulging in fish in the river valley, and from time to time it made a strange cry towards Jiang Xiaobai on the boat.
The meaning is probably how you don't catch fish.
White turbulence, flying birds, leaping fish, Jiang Xiaobai at this time, seeing this scene, his eyes were leisurely, and he thought of a lot.
He saw the flying fish rushing bravely, just to reproduce.
Flying fish is to "get" the way of nature, regardless of life and death.
If this is a cultivator, it is a rare Dao heart tenacity.
He thought of Lao Dao again, Lao Dao once said that when he heard that Dao was born and died, he would have no regrets even if he died.
What is the difference with the flying fish in front of you!
Jiang Xiaobai's eyes gradually brightened, his complexion gradually relaxed, and the haze that had always been buried in his heart finally opened and saw the sun.
He drew a bamboo pole from the side of the boat, shot it into the water, and then jumped off the bow of the boat.
Tap the bamboo pole with your toes, and rush into the turbulence with one hand.
A large fish that was photographed against the current was caught in his hand.
Jiang Xiaobai grabbed the fish and threw it into the river above.
The fish was lucky enough to jump over the dragon gate with his help.
After doing this, Jiang Xiaobai returned to the boat with a rod, looked at the top of the river, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
Just be happy to help the fish!
(The second one is sent, fortunately in time, tomorrow for a new week, how about everyone give a recommendation ticket, thank you)
