Big carp at the foot of Lion Rock
It is said that after An Yin came back, he wanted this horse wholeheartedly.
Although An Yin is usually very arrogant, he can see that his grandfather is still more in favor of the truth's words. Then he found the real soft grinding hard bubble, and he wanted to take this horse as his own. Zhizhen still pretended to excuse himself, so he said: "There is a thousand-year-old golden carp in the dark river of Black Sheep Daqing, if the backbone of this carp is made into a cigarette stick and given to your grandfather, why don't you worry that he will give it to you with the white dragon horse?" When An Yin heard this, he thought to himself: "Isn't this a prevarication rhetoric?" I grew up in this river, and I have never encountered any thousand-year-old golden carp, and if there really is, with my water nature, even if it is a dragon, I will chase it. ”
An Yin asked Zhizhen: "Sir, do you know where this fish is?" I'm going to catch it right away, and if there is, I'll catch it." ”
Zhizhen told An Yin: "This fish is extraordinary, living in the dark river at the foot of the Lion Rock in the Black Sheep Daqing, the dark river at the foot of the mountain is connected to the Huanlong River, the mouth of the water hole is directly under the lion's mouth, this fish only swims to the river to absorb the essence of the full moon when the moon is full every month, and it comes out when it is a child, and swims in the hole of the dark river when it is ugly." ”
An Yin didn't seem to believe it when he heard it, but in order to get the white dragon horse, he simply promised that Zhizhen would definitely catch this fish. But if you really promise, you can help exchange it for the white dragon horse.
Zhizhen nodded in agreement and said, "Young Master, whether you can catch the golden carp or not, you can't say that I told you right." ”
An Yin also nodded in agreement.
A few days later, in the middle of the month, a full moon slowly rose from the sky and hung above the foot of the building in Anfu. When An Yin saw this scene, he was excited, so he ran to find Zhizhen, only to see Zhizhen and An Gong talking about feng shui while drinking tea in Juxian Hall.
As soon as An Gong saw An Yin, he pulled down his face and asked what was the matter. An Yin casually made up an excuse, saying that it would only take a while to find Zhizhen to ask about how to calculate the materials used to build the road. While talking, squeezing his eyes to give it to the truth. If you really understand one or two, you will bow with An Gong and come out with An Yin.
An Yin couldn't wait to ask: "Tonight is the full moon, and today is exactly fifteen, sir, will you see which carp will come out?" ”
Zhizhen frowned, pinched his fingers, and said something in his mouth, and then said with great joy: "The young master must catch the big fish tonight, what a coincidence, you just crouch at the mouth of the cave at the foot of the Lion Rock, which is the place where the dark river and the dragon river meet, and after the time, you see the moonlight suddenly darken, you just go into the water to show your skills, but you must pay attention to safety!" Be sure to use the branches of the old peach tree next to the entrance of the cave at the foot of the Lion Rock to make a fish hook. Otherwise, you won't be able to surrender that guy, remember! ”
An Yin thanked him after hearing this, went back to his residence and changed into a black casual clothes, inserted a horn short knife at his waist, stepped on a rope, and sneaked out of the wall next to the wing house in the house. Taking advantage of the bright moonlight, along the sheep intestine path of the half of the tomb, came to the mouth of the stone wall, penetrated into the dense forest of the black sheep basket, and climbed all the way to the mouth of the cave at the foot of the Lion Rock, there was a peach tree growing next to it, and countless new branches grew from the withered roots, like an old man peeping at everything in the cave.
The moon rises higher and higher, and the surroundings become clearer and clearer, like day. At this time, only the chirping of crickets was heard, and the roar of wild beasts occasionally came out in the black sheep basket, and An Yin was terrified to listen, he crouched behind the big peach tree, took out the horn and short knife, and it took a lot of effort to cut off half of the peach branch shaped like a fish hook, I didn't expect this tree to be so hard, and there was a branch at the end of the branch that stretched out upside down, so as to hook the gills of the fish, and tied the other end of the peach branch with the rope he brought, and then tied the rope to the peach tree, and the peach branch of the rope was inserted between the belts.
An Yin leaned on the big peach tree and unconsciously fell asleep in the performance of the cricket. In the dream, I saw a fairy dressed in white slowly floating out of the entrance of the cave, and said to An Yin word by word: "An Yin, if you can catch this thousand-year-old carp alive tonight, it will help this cave get rid of a harm, this thousand-year-old carp doesn't know how many lives it has devoured in the cave, and there are few creatures left in the dragon river, and the providence is destined to be his death tonight." This cave is also a blessed place for your family, and it will protect you from disasters in the future......"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, waking An Yin from his dream. He looked closely, and saw that there was a circle of ripples spreading out in all directions at the entrance of the cave. Could it be that the carp came out? An Yin cheered up, formed a lunge with his feet, and jumped to pounce just when the carp appeared. At this time, I saw that the moonlight was hazy, the moonlight gradually dimmed, and the water surface was also covered with smoke, at this time, I saw a red fish lip the size of a bowl appearing in the center of the pool, the bucket-sized head was slowly raised into the air, the blood-red eyes were very conspicuous under the moonlight, and there was a golden horn like a crescent moon just above the head, and this big fish was absorbing the essence of the moon. said that it was too late and that it was fast, An Yin exerted his legs, leaped into the pool water, clasped the gills of the fish with both hands, and became a horseback ride. The big carp suddenly frightened, dives to the bottom of the water, and escapes in all directions. An Yin took out a fish hook made of peach branches from his waist with one free hand, aimed it at the fish's mouth and inserted it, An Yin pulled the rope, felt that it had been hooked, let go of his hands, held his breath and tried to swim hard. Surfacing and swimming to the shore, he quickly tightened the rope, and a great force was transmitted to the arm. An Yin didn't dare to relax, and suddenly controlled the monster in the water. This was a contest of strength, and the rope strangled An Yin's palms with blood marks, and the blood stained the rope red. And the big carp, whose mouth was pierced by the hard peach branches, was also desperately fleeing, just wanting to break free from the rope and swim hard into the depths of the dark river, but how could An Yin let go easily, he bypassed the rope around the trunk of the tree, and used the peach tree as a fulcrum, constantly consuming the physical strength of the big fish. The moon was bright again, and it seemed to be watching the fishing show.
An hour passed, and the big fish gradually couldn't parry, all its strength was used up, and it got closer and closer to the shore, revealing its golden belly, and its big mouth was closed one by one, as if begging An Yin for mercy. And An Yin was also tired, but when he saw the big fish's compromise, he was full of strength and dragged the big fish ashore with all his might. The large fish shimmered golden in the moonlight and was about the size of an adult. An Yin looked at the big fish, sat on the ground and rested for a while, the joy of victory diluted the fatigue, took advantage of the moonlight to tie the big fish to his back with a rope, and did not dare to take out the peach wood, stumbling all the way to carry the big fish home.
When I got to the door, the door was wide open
"What's going on?" When An Yin was puzzled, the old housekeeper saw that he was carrying a golden giant fish on his back, and his legs trembled with fright, and he shouted inarticulately. At this moment, An Yin was also tired enough to choke, and sat on the ground with a slump in the ass. An Yin's parents and family members thought that something was going on, and they all ran out, and they all opened their mouths when they saw this situation. At this time, Zhizhen also accompanied An Gong to hurriedly walk out, seeing this scene, An Gong was excited and happy, and immediately nodded and agreed to Bai Longju's gift to An Yin.
It turned out that since An Yin left, Zhizhen returned to Juxian Hall, An Gong felt that something was wrong, and after asking for it, Zhizhen was not easy to deceive, so he told An Gong about it, and An Gong was shocked when he heard it. Later, Zhizhen said that he would rest assured, if An Yin really had an accident, Zhizhen would guarantee with his life. Seeing that Zhizhen was so sure, An Gong felt a little more steady, so he asked the housekeeper to wait at the door all the time.
