Volume 1 Origin Chapter 5 Master, Thief!
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. This east wind is Chen Mu, the fisherman.
"Nephew Chen, the beast I selected for Zhen'er is a hundred-year-level moon-gazing silver eel!"
"Mochizuki eel?"
Chen Mu was surprised, he had seen the legend of Ji Xiaolan, including the legend of the "Moon Eel", could it be that the legend became true in this world?
Seeing Chen Mu's reaction, Mu Yushu said curiously: "Oh? Does Nephew Chen know about this Moon Gazing Silver Eel?"
"I have indeed heard of a certain kind of eel before, a carrion corpse on a happy event, with a thicker body, no obvious difference in shape from ordinary eels, and when the moon is bright and clear, it often swims out of the cave and looks at the moon with its head high. I don't know if it's the same as the moon-gazing silver eel that Uncle Mu said. ”
"That's right! Nephew Chen is talking about this legendary Mochizuki eel!"
Mu Yushu was full of joy, when he left the family, he took two ancient books with him, one of which was dedicated to introducing rare beasts, and the name of the moon eel was translated from the ancient books. And Chen Mu actually knew that this moon-gazing eel could also tell its most special living habit of "looking at the moon and coming out", which really gave Mu Yushu a big surprise.
Although Mu Yushu wanted to praise Chen Mu, as a city lord for many years, he was well versed in the way of royal people, and it was not appropriate to praise it when it was a big event.
"Nephew Chen doesn't know that the Mochizuki eel eats carrion corpses and draws the moon, and when it reaches the hundred-year-old level, its body color transforms and turns silver, and it is as white as the moon, so it is called the Mochizuki silver eel!"
"I see. ”
Chen Mu nodded, he remembered the farmer who died by eating the Mochizuki eel by mistake in the novel, and said with some concern: "But I seem to have heard that this Mochizuki eel has a highly poisonous body, so let Tianzhen Yuming this beast, is there no problem?"
"Nephew Chen, I have my own arrangements for this, you don't have to worry. ”
Everyone else's father said so, and Chen Mu had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
"Nephew Chen, this is what General Yang helped you keep, and I will return it to you now. ”
Looking at the lost fishing tackle bag and Dawa fishing rod, Chen Mu didn't hold a grudge against Lao Liangjun for catching him. Fishing tackle is the lifeblood of a fisherman, especially in this other world, once these two things are gone, there is really no difference!
Rubbing Dawa and feeling the unpretentious fine lines, Chen Mu was full and gratified.
Qin Menglan was also the first time she had seen the fishing tackle of the angler, so she was inevitably a little curious.
"Little brother, can you lend me your fishing tackle?"
"Oh, here you go. Chen Mu generously handed Dawa to the beautiful snake.
Qin Menglan carefully took the fishing rod, it was worthy of being a powerful thing, look at this pattern, carving, and structure, all of them are ingenious!
Qin Menglan looked at Mu Yushu suspiciously, and the latter nodded. Qin Menglan realized, how could the powerful utensils be easily guessed at her level?
Chen Mu naturally didn't know the twists and turns in the hearts of these two people, but he saw that Qin Menglan cherished the Dawa fishing rod very much, so he nodded with satisfaction: If you have a vision, it's a few thousand yuan!
"Nephew Chen, tonight is the night of the full moon. ”
Mu Yushu decided to make one last attempt, "I wonder if Nephew Chen is sure to catch this moon-gazing silver eel?"
Chen Mu smiled, fishing for yellow eel, he is the best at it, remembering the experience of fishing eels in the field in the past, he said: "Uncle Mu, please relax, just leave it to me!"
"Haha! Heroes come out of teenagers! Uncle Mu naturally believes in you!"
"But ......"
Mu Yushu's heart that he had just put down was lifted up by Chen Mu's "but" again.
"What doubts does Nephew Chen have? If you want to negotiate a reward, I have promised in the name of the city lord that I will definitely not treat you badly after the matter is completed!"
Chen Mu shook his head: "It's not a matter of compensation......
Mu Yushu was a little anxious: "What's the matter?"
Chen Mu made a meditative appearance: "I just want to ask, how much does this Moon Silver Eel weigh?"
Mu Yushu thought it was an important question, but it turned out to be this, but he insisted on saying how heavy the Mochizuki silver eel was...... He remembered that it seemed to be recorded in ancient books that the hundred-year-old Mochizuki eel was the size of an adult.
"It's about the weight of an adult man. Mu Yushu wasn't too sure.
Chen Mu opened his fishing tackle bag and took out the No. 12 big object line that had been treasured for many years but was useless, and the dragon king hated - the dragon king had to drink and hate when he took the bait!
"That's right!"
What's the matter! Mu Yushu was taken aback by Chen Mu, but he could only accompany a smile: "Nephew Chen, you say." ”
"Uncle Mu, you asked someone to help me make a hook, three inches long, and the bottom of the hook should be sharp: there is a barb on the side, 0.3 inches long. ”
Mu Yushu looked at a subordinate and ordered: "Go find the best blacksmith in the city, use the iron to make a hook according to his words, and do it before dark! If you miss the hour, you know what will happen to you!"
As soon as the people over there left, Chen Mu continued to ask, "Uncle Mu, can I go to your back garden to dig some soil?"
"Digging?"
"Hmm!"
Mu Yushu was a little painful, now that the aura in this world was already thin, the spiritual soil in his back garden was bought from all over Dongsheng at a huge cost. It turns out that this kid is thinking about this!
Mu Yushu's heart was crossed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you can catch that moon silver eel tonight, you can dig as much as you want!"
"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Mu!"
Without further ado, Chen Mu decided to go to the back garden now. Of course, the nature he fancied was not the spiritual land, but the earthworms in the spiritual land, the earthworms with aura!
In the back garden, Chen Mu kept digging with a hoe, and he was aiming at the roots of various spiritual flowers, the place where the spiritual energy was the strongest!
Mu Tianzhen, who was standing on the side, was full of curiosity on her pretty face.
"Brother Chen, what are you digging?"
Chen Mu didn't raise his head, and he was busy.
"You'll find out later. ”
"Hmm, how long will it take?"
Chen Mu didn't say it clearly, he asked, "Sister Tianzhen, can you help me find a bag? The kind that can hold a lot of things." ”
"Brother Chen is talking about Qiankun bag, I happen to have one here. ”
Mu Tianzhen handed a bag to Chen Mu.
I took the bag, opened it, and put my hand in it, but I couldn't touch it. Chen Mu was a little surprised: Sure enough, just like those fantasy novels, there is really such a magical thing!
"Thank you, Sister Tianzhen, you go back to your room to rest first, I still have a little time to do. ”
"Okay, Brother Chen. Then remember to come to me when you are busy!"
......
"Whew! I've dug enough!"
Chen Mu had beads of sweat on his face, he carried the bag, and his face was full of smiles: "With these, no matter what you fish in the future, you will be able to land!"
"Let's go, go tell Sister Tianzhen about my results!"
......
At three o'clock in the morning, it was time for Zhang Dong to go to the back garden of the Lord of Mu City to water it.
"The city lord treats our subordinates really well! Don't mention the high things that Yu Lu gives, even if we sometimes steal a few spirit flowers, he will turn a blind eye!"
"I have long seen that the little sister next door is interested in me, so I will pick a mandarin duck powder and give it to her today!"
When Zhang Dong happily came to the back garden, the scene in front of him frightened him: the garden that should have been purple and red is now only left with remnants of flowers and willows, all kinds of spiritual flowers and plants with bare roots outside, and the spiritual soil is like being gnawed by canine teeth, and there are traces of ploughing everywhere.
Zhang Dong's heart was cold, he fell and climbed, and shouted in his mouth: "Master Mu, come quickly! There is a thief in the garden!"
......
Let's talk about the culprit Chen Mu, at this time, he was in Mu Tianzhen's room, showing off his achievements to the girl.
"Look, Sister Tianzhen!" Chen Mu opened the bag and said to Mu Tianzhen, "This is what I want to dig!"
Mu Tianzhen glanced into the bag and saw several large clods of soil lying horizontally at the bottom of the bag.
"Spirit land?"
"No, no, look at the things in the spiritual land. ”
Only then did Mu Tianzhen notice that there seemed to be many golden creatures in the spiritual land.
"What is this?" Mu Tianzhen said curiously.
"Earthworm ......" Chen Mu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, this kind of spiritual should be called an earth dragon!"
"Dragon?" Mu Tianzhen looked incredulous, "Brother Chen, don't lie to me, the dragon clan is the top existence among spirit beasts, I have never heard of such a weak dragon." ”
"Hehe, Sister Tianzhen, 'Earth Dragon' is a unique name in my hometown. ”
"And where is Brother Chen's hometown?"
"In ......"
Chen Mu was silent, he looked up at the roof, on the dome, those invisible stars, one of them may be his hometown.
戌時.
Outside Yangji City, north of Mingbo.
Unlike the vast, crystalline waters of the south, the waters of the north are lifeless and dim.
"Uncle Mu, are you sure that there is a Mochizuki silver eel under this water?"
Mu Yushu had a gloomy face, and in the afternoon, under the leadership of the servant, he saw the back garden full of wolves, and he had the heart to kill Chen Mu! This kid, that was the result of his decades of hard work! But now he still has a request for Chen Mu, so he had to say with a straight face: "There will be no mistake, there are often spirit beasts drinking water on the north shore but inexplicably poisoned and sunk corpses, I guess this water area is the lair of the moon-gazing silver eel!"
Overhead, a bright moon was in the sky. The moonlight was very bright, and Chen Mu's face was pale, but it couldn't illuminate the dim lake.
Chen Mu used the No. 12 large object line to tie the special straight hook, adjusted the fishing rod, and groped out the size of the earth dragon from the largest clod in the bag.
"Uncle Mu, can you please do me a favor. ”
Mu Yushu said impatiently: "If you have something to say, just say it!"
"Please Uncle Mu help me string this thing on a straight hook, and it is best to bury the side hook. ”
Qin Menglan looked at the object in Chen Mu's hand curiously, but immediately became disgusted again and again: "Bah, what is it in your kid's hand!"
Looking at the still wriggling earthworm handed over by Chen Mu, Mu Yushu frowned: "What do you want me to wear this!"
"Uncle Mu, this spiritual power earthworm is the favorite food of the Mochizuki eel, please use your exquisite spirit control skills to string it perfectly on the straight hook!"
Even in ancient books, it is not recorded in ancient books, but this Mochizuki eel's favorite food is earthworms?
Mu Yushu was suspicious, his right hand controlled the spiritual power in the air, and then with a wave, the spiritual power earthworm that was still alive in Chen Mu's hand had been strung with a straight hook impartially!
"Uncle Mu is a good means!"
Chen Mu admired that if he had to do it himself, he would never have dressed so perfectly like Mu Yushu, and the earthworms on Mu Yushu's string still retained five points of its activity as bait, which was the perfect bait!
"Next, it's up to me to perform!"
