Chapter 17: The Legend of the Carp King

——————————————————

......

"A female carp king lays a thousand eggs at a time."

"Even if it is based on a 50% survival rate, it must be 500 carp kings."

"Then the next year, when the eggs are laid again, 500 eggs will be 500,000 eggs, and according to the 50 percent survival rate, that is 250,000 eggs. So ......."

"What's wrong with me eating a few of your fish eggs?"

That's how it happened.

The carp king, who obeyed the master's agreement, went all the way into the water, and stumbled in the river without any trace of memory by feeling.

I also came across aquatic Pokémon such as mosquito coils and tadpoles.

I originally wanted to report the traces of these Pokémon to my master.

Outcome......

"Huh? What did I encounter just now? ”

"Huh? What am I here for? ”

"Huh? When was the last time I ate? ”

"Huh? Why are you so hungry all of a sudden? ”

"Huh? Is that a fish egg? There shouldn't be any fish nearby, right? Eat a few secretly, and no fish will see them, right? ”

"Huh? How bad does it taste? How do you remember that I used to like to eat? ”

"Huh? What's this blue thing? It's so big......"

Not good.

Come on.

Although I still haven't figured out what it is?

But he felt a strong gasp.

Murderous.

The rich murderous aura rushed to the head.

Fortunately, the carp king reacted in a timely manner.

That's when he slipped away.

But the big blue guy didn't seem to want to let go of himself.

Damn it.

Is it because he is the king of carp, so he chases himself like this?

You don't know how small, our carp king was very powerful at the beginning.

That was at a time when the order of the elven world had not yet been formally formed.

In ancient times, there was a fisherman named Zhang Dezi in the Guandu area, who got up early in the morning and slept on the carp beach all day long, and slept on the boat, but because the local government fish tax was too heavy, he could only make ends meet.

This year, on April 15, Zhang Dezi set up a bamboo fence on Liyu Beach and set up a fan fish array, preparing to catch more fish at night. After everything was ready, Zhang Dezi saw that it was still early, so he took a nap on the boat to recuperate. But not long after closing his eyes, Zhang Dezi dreamed of an old man with two long beards hanging from his mouth, standing in the water, and talking to him: "I am the king of carp, and I will lead my children and grandchildren to Poyang Lake to lay eggs tonight. ”

When Zhang Dezi heard this, he was very anxious, and replied: "King of Fish, I also want to promise you, but the government will come to collect the fish tax at the beginning of next month, if the fish tax cannot be paid, the government will collect my fishing boat, and my livelihood will be gone." ”

After hearing this, the carp king said, "What you said is also true, then I will give you a silver carp and count it as our road money." After speaking, he took out a silver carp from his arms and handed it to Zhang Dezi, Zhang Dezi hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but accidentally, the silver carp fell into the river. Zhang Dezi was startled, woke up, he opened his eyes and saw that the time was almost over, so he lit a torch and held the boat to see if there were any fish in the maze array, but there was no live fish in the maze array of tens of meters, but he fished out a carp-shaped silver ornament.

Zhang Dezi took the silver carp and took a closer look, only to see that the scales of the silver carp were meticulous, and the eyes were lifelike, as if they were made of a live fish. Seeing that the moon was almost in the middle of the sky, and the ion time was not far away, Zhang Dezi hurriedly withdrew the Lost Fish Array.

Everything was cleaned up, and Zhang Dezi sat on the bow of the boat to see what was going on. After a while, the whole river beach splashed everywhere, led by a big carp, thousands of carp down the river beach, Zhang Dezi saw this scene, his heart jumped, and quickly knelt down in the bow of the boat, bowing to the river.

At dawn the next day, Zhang Dezi hurriedly wrapped the silver carp, rushed to the county seat, and found a pawnshop. The pawnshop owner's name is Zhao Xing, he is a fine person, he took the silver carp, saw that the workmanship is very exquisite, estimated to be worth a hundred taels of silver, and then looked at Zhang Dezi's ragged appearance, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and said: "I see this silver carp, the workmanship is sloppy, and the texture of the silver is also worse, it is worth ten taels of silver." ”

Sure enough, Zhang Dezi didn't understand the market of gold and silver jewelry at all, and when he heard that it was worth ten taels of silver, he was already overjoyed, and replied busily: "Okay, that's it." ”

Zhao Xing hurriedly instructed the shopkeeper to take the broken silver and give it to Zhang Dezi. After Zhang Dezi was sent away, this Zhao Xing played with the silver carp carefully, thinking that such an object had to be owned by a large family, and he didn't know how it would fall into the hands of a poor person like Zhang Dezi. But curiosity is curiosity, he saw that this silver carp was not a rare treasure, so he didn't think too much about it.

Let's say that after paying the fish tax, this Zhang Dezi used the remaining silver taels as his daily expenses, and his life was finally much better. In a blink of an eye, on April 15 of the following year, the carp king came to borrow the road again and gave Zhang Dezi a silver carp again, and Zhang Dezi got Zhao Xing's pawnshop for silver.

This Zhao Xing saw that Zhang Dezi came to be a silver carp again, so he thought about it, and took the opportunity to invite Zhang Dezi to the restaurant to drink, and asked about the origin of the silver carp in words. Zhang Dezi was already simple, and he was very interested in drinking, and he told the origin of the silver carp after coming and going.

As soon as Zhao Xing heard the origin of this silver carp, he had bad thoughts. The next day, he took the silver, found a local fisherman to make a point, asked him to blow Zhang Dezi away, and bought a fishing boat himself to occupy Liyu Beach.

On April 15 of the following year, Zhao Xing hired people to set up a misty fish array on the beach early, and when he saw that it was almost dusk, he fell asleep on the bow of the boat according to Zhang Dezi's statement. Zhao Xing really saw the carp king who came to buy the road in a dream, and he said to the carp king excitedly: "Now that the river beach belongs to me, you have to give me the golden carp before I can make way for you." ”

The Carp King thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll give you a golden carp this time, and it's alive." When Zhao Xing heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed to make way for the carp king.

At this time, the king carp continued: "It's just that this golden carp needs to be fed with gold dust, otherwise it will starve to death." Zhao Xing didn't take this sentence seriously, and only urged the golden carp.

After waking up, Zhao Xing hurriedly picked up the torch to check the Lost Fish Array, and saw that there was really a golden carp swimming around in it. Zhao Xing hurriedly found a jar to fill it with water, brought the golden carp back home, and specially bought a delicate fish tank to keep the golden carp in it.

Watching the golden carp swimming happily in the fish tank, Zhao Xing suddenly came up with an idea. It turned out that during the Jiajing period, due to Yan Song's power, it was common to sell officials and bribe, so Zhao Xing wanted to use this golden carp to tie up with local officials and make a petty official for himself.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but feel proud. But suddenly, he found that the golden carp had sunk to the bottom of the tank with its belly facing up, looking like it was dying.

This frightened Zhao Xing, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he was so anxious that he circled around the fish tank. Suddenly, he remembered what the king carp had said about feeding him with gold dust, so he hurriedly found a gold ingot, scraped it off with a knife, and threw it into the water.

Strange to say, as soon as the gold dust was thrown into the fish tank, the golden carp, which was still dying just now, immediately turned over and ate the gold dust clean, and after eating, it regained its vitality.

Zhao Xingcai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the gold dust had been fed, but after a while, he found that the golden carp began to be half dead again, and it was only after feeding the gold dust that it returned to normal. In this way, Zhao Xing kept feeding, and at the end of the day, he fed a gold ingot.

Zhao Xing wanted to keep the golden carp at home first, and then send it to the top when he saw the opportunity, but when he saw this situation, he couldn't hold it at all with a gold ingot, so the next day, he brought the golden carp to the local prefect to offer treasure.

The prefect saw that this golden carp could swim and move, thinking that Yan Song would go home to save his relatives in three months, passing by his own jurisdiction, and when the time came, he would definitely be able to please Yan Song, and maybe he would be on the rise and rise all the way. The more the prefect thought about it, the more beautiful it became, so he boasted that Zhao Xing would do things and wanted to leave the golden carp.

Zhao Xing was afraid that the golden carp would starve to death, so he told the golden carp that it had to be fed with one ingot of gold ingots and gold dust every day. When the treacherous and cunning prefect heard this, his eyes rolled and he said to Zhao Xing: "This golden carp right is fostered by you, and I will come to pick it up in three months. ”

Zhao Xing was dumbfounded when he heard this, and knelt down and said, "My lord, my family has a small business, and I can't afford to raise this golden carp!" ”

When the prefect heard this, he was unmoved, and said: "Although it costs money to raise this golden carp, when the time comes, I will send it to Lord Shoufu, and I will definitely be able to please him, and when I am promoted, can I still treat you badly?" You can rest assured that you will raise this golden carp for me, and I will make it up to you when the time comes!" ”

Zhao Xing wanted to say something, but when he saw that the prefect made a face, he gave an eviction order, and he could only return with the golden carp.

Rao is Zhao Xing's family is wealthy, and in order to raise gold to feed the golden carp, he can only sell his house today and sell his store tomorrow, and everything valuable in his family will be sold out.

After raising the golden carp for three months, Zhao Xing was already bankrupt. Finally waiting for the day when Yan Song came to Jiangxi Province, Zhao Xing hurriedly followed the instructions of the prefect and carefully sent the golden carp to the prefect, and the prefect made some joints, and finally sent the golden carp to Yan Song.

When Yan Song heard this, the golden carp could swim and move all over the body, and he also felt amazing in his heart, so he led his staff to watch it together. When the lid of the fish tank was opened, there was no golden carp swimming around, only a carp carved from stone lying motionless at the bottom of the tank, Yan Song felt disgraced, and was furious, thinking that the prefect was deliberately teasing himself by giving this gift, so he found the governor of Jiangxi and instructed him to deal with it. How dare the governor of Jiangxi slack off, he sent someone to fabricate a crime on the same day, and arrested the prefect and imprisoned him.

Pity this Zhao Xing, dressed in tattered clothes, hungry, waiting for the prefect to be promoted, and he can compensate himself well, where did he think that what he was waiting for was the news that the prefect was in prison? Desperated and despairing, he had to beg on the streets for a living.

The news of Zhao Xing and the prefect reached the local fishermen, and after Zhang Dezi heard about it, he returned to the carp beach to fish. The local fisherman heard the story of the carp king, and felt that he was protected by gods and monsters, and he no longer dared to bully him, and even the government did not dare to levy a fish tax on him. It's just that Zhang Dezi never dreamed of the carp king again, but every April 15, Zhang Dezi would automatically withdraw the lost fish array on the beach. Over time, the local custom was formed, and on the 15th day of the fourth lunar month, fishermen no longer went down to the river to fish.

......

But the legend of the Golden Carp King seems to be a legend of consciousness.

King Carp became the weakest Pokémon.

The big blue guy behind him also chased and scolded all the way:

"Stinky boy! persuade the gentleman not to eat the March crucian carp, thousands of fish roe in the abdomen; Persuade the gentleman not to fight the three spring birds, and wait for the mother to return in the nest"

"But isn't it September now?"

"That's not going to work either!"

Accompanied by two aquatic spirits jumping from the water at the same time.

Only then did the carp king notice that he had swam back to his master.

And the master's side has also fallen into a bitter battle.

Hundreds of big-tailed civets surrounded them.

He and the Abba monster had no power to resist.

The owner's eyes seemed to glance over.

But he was disappointed.

I didn't even hold out hope.

It is unacceptable.

It couldn't take that look.

What will only bounce.

What will only bump around.

What can only be the king carp sashimi on someone else's table.

Damn it.

This is who prescribes the view.

The moment you turn around.

It crashed headlong.

The red king carp and the blue tyrannosaurus naturally have no difference.

It's a pity that it forgot one thing.

After all, it doesn't have a good memory.

In the days leading up to its arrival, it had been trained by the Abba Monster.

Now it is only one step away from evolution.

The carp jumped over the dragon gate, only one step away.

"It's out."

That bump.

Dizziness.

It felt like its body was getting bigger.

It felt like it wasn't like a fish anymore.

Why?

Why is it still red?

Didn't you say that after crossing the dragon gate, it was time to evolve into that blue tyrannosaurus?

Red?

"Red? Tyrannosaurus? ”

The tyrannosaurus has a body like a green dragon. This Pokemon appears based on the classic story of "Carp Leaping Dragon Gate". After the level of the Carp King is raised to a certain limit, it will enter the Dragon Gate and become a Tyrannosaurus. The body color is mainly composed of blue and light yellow.

After evolving, the personality is particularly violent.,Will attack humans and other Pokémon for no reason.,Even if you don't provoke the tyrannosaurus.。 Because of its personality, some tyrannosaurs will not listen to their trainers after evolving from the carp king.

The red Tyrannosaurus in the Pokémon Generations is a heterochromic Pokémon, a Pokémon with a different color from a normal Pokémon that cannot be obtained through evolution.

It is rumored that someone in the Lake of Rage saw a red tyrannosaurus that was forced to evolve due to mysterious radio waves.

It was a mutant Pokémon that was created by environmental alienation.

Very few people get to see it with their own eyes.

Not to mention going to capture it.

Xu Lai definitely didn't expect that he would be lucky to this extent.

Only the carp king, who had turned into a red tyrannosaurus, was still complaining about how he was still red.

At this time, the Tyrannosaurus on the opposite side had already attacked.

It hurriedly returned fire.

"Little Red, use the bite!"

The carp king, who had turned into a red tyrannosaurus, instinctively obeyed Xu Lai's command.

This trick.

While dealing damage to the target, it also has a 20% chance to reduce the target's defense by 1.

"Good luck. The opponent's physical defense has been reduced by one level. ”

Xu Lai continued to command:

"Use the Ghost Face, slow it down."

Xiaohong didn't say a word, just did it.

The Ghost Face skill has the effect of slowing the target by 2 levels.

After two skill hits.

That blue tyrannosaurus was obviously no match for Little Red anymore.

And Xu Lai ordered Xiaohong to continue to use the bite.

The damage continues.

It didn't take long.

The blue tyrannosaurus was completely defeated.

Just when Xu Lai was going to use the Poké Ball, when this tyrannosaurus was weak, he was ready to catch it.

Ah Bai Monster stretched out his tail and stopped Xu Lai.

He followed the gaze of the strange Abbas.

Just see.

Not far away, there is a large group of king carp.

Ah Bai Monster guessed:

"Presumably, this tyrannosaurus is the protector of this group of carp kings, if you catch him, then these little ones will completely become sashimi on someone else's table."

"But isn't the king of carp himself for people to eat?"

"No one is born to be fed. When it comes to eating, humans were also food for monsters at first. ”

"What?"

"You can make a deal with it. Since you lose, you deserve some punishment. Just a few king carps, it's fine. Isn't that what you're here for? ”

As the words of the Ah Bai monster got more and more.

Only then did Xu Lai notice that Ah Bai Monster was not Ah Bai Monster at all.

It's that mysterious voice.

"Is that you?"

"What do you think of my proposal?"

Ah Bai glanced at Xu Lai.

Xu Lai was silent for a moment.

Although there is a bit of a tangle.

But.......

Be a man and leave a step.

See you in the future.

What he needs is indeed a few carp kings, and he shouldn't be insatiable enough to catch their protectors. completely cut off their way of life.

Although, maybe they will still be in danger in the future.

But these .....

It's all about me.

Xu Laisui said to the tyrannosaurus who had already lost:

"I just want a few carp kings, as long as you agree, give me a few, I'll turn around and leave."

The Tyrannosaurus dragged its injured body:

"It's all my children, the palms and hands are all meat, you let me make decisions."

Xu said:

"The palms of the hands are full of meat. Although we humans occasionally eat the king carp for food, we should not forget the conservation law of nature, if one is too strong, it must be weakened by the other. If you let the king carp overflow here, believe it or not, it will lead to even greater disasters. ”

The Tyrannosaurus was silent.

She understands what Xu Lai said.

But......

In the end, Xiaohong couldn't help but speak:

"Give it to him. He only brought a few with him, because it was better for someone to want the king carp to be his partner, and it was better to send it to the table than the worst. At least those people will not dare to bully them easily after they evolve into tyrannosaurs......"
