The "two" of Yu Hongqing carp turned into carp and drifted down the river for more than 400 years. Along the way, they crossed rivers, crossed streams, went to lakes, and even flew down waterfalls. They have been hiding in the flowing water for hundreds of years, and have never stopped absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, but they have never been able to transform into humans, but the two of them are not too sad about this matter, and seem to be more happy to travel around as fish to satisfy their curiosity about the outside world. After all, in the past, when I was in the Lingshan Heavenly Pool, although the aura was more than a hundred times that of ordinary rivers, it was always just a pool of "stagnant water", and I would inevitably feel bored after a long time.

The two of them did not have a smooth sailing journey through the rivers, and they were also in dangerous situations such as the capture of ferocious beasts and the drying up of streams, but each time the two of them were able to turn evil into good fortune.

Until one day......

When they were "playing and playing" in a big river, a "huge net" suddenly descended from the sky to wrap the two fish tightly.

......

"Uncle, how about I exchange the same money for these two fish in your pot?" a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with a donkey in his hand asked, another old man dressed as a fisherman, and handed the copper coin in his hand to the old man.

These two fish were naturally the two green carp that had been caught by the fisherman before, and they were in despair when they saw this scene.

The old man looked at the young man and didn't make a sound, but nodded in agreement.

The young man saw that the old man had received the copper coin, so he took out a clay pot from the package on the back of the donkey beside him, scooped some water from the river and put the two fish into it, but the clay pot was slightly smaller, and the two fish seemed very crowded in it, but the young man obviously did not pay attention to these, and took the donkey away from the river, and muttered in his mouth while walking: "Red carp and green carp and donkey, we will depend on each other in the future!"

After saying that, he shook his head as if laughing at himself

......

In the blink of an eye, the boy had returned home, but his home was surrounded by no living creatures except for him and a donkey, and the green and red carp had been placed by the boy in a pool of strange stones.

In addition to coming out every morning and evening to say a few words to the two fish, and throwing a few mouthfuls of food into the pond, the boy always buried his head in the house, dragging the bamboo slip in his hand and reading non-stop. In this way, the cold and summer have passed for ten years.

......

In the middle of the day and night, a dazzling blue light suddenly lit up from the corner of a certain house, and the whole courtyard illuminated directly as bright as day, and the sleeping young man seemed to feel something and slowly opened his eyes, and stood up and looked at the vision outside the window in a daze, although he was full of curiosity and doubts at this time, he never dared to go out of the house, and the bright light gradually dimmed for about ten minutes.

Seeing this, the young man could no longer suppress the curiosity in his heart, and finally mustered up the courage to put on his cloth shoes and walked out of the house, because from the direction of the bright light, it seemed to be the place where he kept the two carps, green and red.

The young man cautiously opened the door of the house through a narrow slit, and secretly looked around to see that there seemed to be nothing unusual except for some scattered thatch in the courtyard. The young man took a few deep breaths, opened the door of the house as if he had mustered up enough courage, and walked towards the strange stone where the carp was in place.

When he saw the scene in the pond, he instantly became solemn, and muttered a "sure enough", only to see that in the pool water at this time, only one red carp was still swimming "happily" in the water, and the other blue-gray carp had disappeared, and the young man faintly felt that this matter must have something to do with the disappearing blue light. It's just that before he could think about it, the voice of a strange man came from behind the young man.

"Little brother, are you looking for you?"

The young man was obviously startled by this sudden voice, and saw that his body was suddenly so frightened that he straightened up and did not dare to move, and the cold sweat on his back kept pouring out, and he almost peed his pants.

After a long time, there was no voice behind the young man, as if waiting for the young man to answer "his" question, the young man always maintained a standing posture, swallowed his saliva, and plucked up the courage to ask, "Are you my carp? You don't want to eat me, do you?"

"I'm indeed the carp, yes, but it's not yours, since you have a good fish, why should I eat you?" At this time, the green carp had already appeared, looked at the young man in front of him with a smile, and said leisurely.

When the young man heard this, his nerves, which had been tense, seemed to relax, and he slowly turned his body to see what the owner of the strange voice looked like, and at the same time, some strange images of demons and ghosts kept flashing through his mind.

But when he turned around and saw the figure of the "person" behind him, his face became extremely complicated, there were surprises, surprises, excitement but more doubts.

"Are you really the carp?" asked the young man with a puzzled face.

I saw that the person in front of him was tall, handsome, and dressed in a blue-gray shirt, which was clearly just an ordinary man.

"What do you think?" said the carp, and the carp's body shrank rapidly, turning into a carp suspended in mid-air, and its body shimmered with a faint blue light. And when he saw the young man in front of him, his eyes rolled and he fell to the ground, he turned into a human form again, and shook his head with a wry smile.

The next day, Dongfang just had a hint of redness, the young man slowly opened his eyes, and the high place in front of him was his humble roof, "It turned out to be a dream~!" he said, he supported his body with his hands, and wanted to sit up from the bed, oops! A sharp pain came from his shoulder, he seemed to realize something, and hurriedly uncovered his shirt and looked over his shoulder. What caught his eye was a large bruise on his shoulder, and his face instantly became strange, "Could it be ~~~~?" the young man muttered, and quickly put on his shoes and ran out of the house.

Perhaps it was because of the day, the young man was not as cautious as he was at night, but when he ran to the courtyard and saw the scene in front of him, he was still shocked beyond measure!

Next to the boulder that held the carp before, the man in Tsing Yi from last night was sitting on the plate with his heart facing the sky. It's just that his eyes are slightly closed at this time, and a faint blue light flickers on his body.

The young man had not yet recovered from the shock, and his eyes were staring directly at the person in front of him.

The green carp opened its eyes as if it felt something, took the green light and said to the young man, "Are you awake, are you okay?"

A young man excited: "Well, well......"

"That's good, if something happens to Engong because of this, I will be unforgivable!"

The young man also seemed surprised, and laughed along. Gradually, the two people broke the embarrassing situation, and you talked back and forth.

At this time, Qing Carp had already learned that the man in front of him was a young man with great ambitions, who carefully studied the military books every day, learned the way of using military casting tools, and looked forward to one day being able to pay homage to the prime minister, but his parents died early, leaving him with only this dilapidated house, a donkey and a few military books.

And the green carp did not hide anything from the young man, and turned himself and Yu Hong into human form after practicing for thousands of years, and then was seriously injured by the cat demon enemy and fled...... Until the fisherman caught them and sold them, and was finally rescued by the young man and raised in the water of the strange stone pool, after ten years of cultivation, he finally turned into a human again, and told it all.

The two talked like this for a whole day and a night, and stopped talking in a question about the green carp.

"Engong, are you interested in the way of cultivation, I intend to teach Engong the cultivation method of the aura of heaven and earth, but Engong is not a demon spirit, and I don't know how far I can practice.......

When the young man heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing and said: "Before the younger brother met the young brother, he naively thought that human beings were the spirits of all things, but now he knows that he is simply sitting in a well and watching the sky!

At this moment, how can the young man still have the cowardice before the first sight of the green carp, it seems that with the growth of his knowledge, his courage and courage have also become stronger.

The green carp seemed to be infected by the young people, and they clapped their hands and shouted hello! Excitedly, he said, "From today onwards, within a year, my green carp will do my best to teach the way of Engong's cultivation." ”

"It's just that we've known each other so far, and we haven't asked for the name of the Engong yet!" said Qingli, who seemed to realize that he had never known the name of the young man, and asked a little embarrassedly.

"Under Zhang Daoling!" the young man said disapprovingly, still smiling.
