Lin Xi returned to the small building in the twilight.

After arranging a circle of "dark bells" around the small building in Linjiang, he caught the old river group and the remaining iron-headed pike in the water tank and began to slaughter them to remove the internal organs.

"Dark bell" is a method taught by Qingluan College for police deployment, with some imperceptible thin lines and other objects to pull the sound of objects, arranged around, as long as someone does not take the normal way, from the main entrance to enter, it is easy to cause the sound, be found in advance.

The assassins sent by Xu Chengfeng before were touched by Lin Xi's simple but extremely effective arrangement, so he discovered them in advance and dealt with them in time.

When arranging the "dark bell" on the riverside platform in front, Lin Xi saw that on the river in the distance, there were sixty or seventy fishing boats gathered together, brightly lit, and it was lively.

Lin Xi didn't think much about it, and carried the processed Lao Jiang Tuan and the iron-headed pike upstairs, and after removing the nails of the Lao Jiang Tuan and cutting it into large pieces, he first put it in a large clay pot and stewed it with a few flavors of medicine.

The meat of this old Jiang group is enough for him to eat twice, and he has already vomited out the sediment with medicine in the tank, but it still needs six hours of slow simmering to completely remove the fishy shame, and simmer the meat, stew it out with a fresh fragrance, and make it easy to absorb after eating, which is the greatest effect for cultivators.

From this time on, you can start simmering, and tomorrow morning you can drink soup and eat meat.

After stewing the old river ball, Lin Xi began to cut the fish fillets with a dagger, and today's dinner is this iron-headed pike.

Lin Xi cut the fish fillet very attentively.

The dagger landed on the body of the fish in his hand with great stability and speed, and he tried his best to cut each slice of flesh to the same thickness.

This naturally has nothing to do with the pure taste of the fish.

In addition to the ideological influence of Tong Wei and others who practice everywhere on weekdays, what made Lin Xi start to pay attention to cultivation at all times was the pressure from Wei Xianwu.

Although he came with an iron horse, he was pointed at by Jiang Rui and scolded the beast and could only leave in silence, but Lin Xi had already felt the most direct killing intent in him when he saw this officer in front of the Silver Hook Workshop from the beginning.

This big case has become an iron case that is difficult to turn because of Jiang Rui's interference, this officer and Xu Ningshen, the general of the Three Towns Company, may also be investigated and punished, if he is unfavorable to Lin Xi again, I am afraid that even if there are people above, it will be impossible to protect him. However, from the look in the officer's eyes when he left, Lin Xi vaguely felt that he would not give up.

Just as for the vast majority of people in Yun Qin, Qingluan Academy is the most mysterious and unspeakable holy place in the world, cultivators are actually above ordinary people.

The folk cultivators who are not used by the court have always been the most troublesome existence in the Yunqin court.

Because these cultivators have far more force than ordinary people, to a certain extent, they are not subject to the law, because many cultivators are proud of the rivers and lakes, their whereabouts are uncertain, they kill people today, and tomorrow they don't know where, so it is difficult to investigate many major cases involving the life and death of cultivators, and it is even more difficult to arrest the culprits.

The territory of the Yunqin Empire is large, and this world is not as developed as the world before Lin Xi, there are still many places that cannot be reached by the army or are difficult to govern.

Wei Xianwu was definitely a cultivator, just from the breathing and breathing and the flow of qi and blood that were far beyond ordinary people, Lin Xi could faintly feel the explosive power contained in his body.

As long as he is a cultivator, he is enough to be worthy of Lin Xi's vigilance.

What's more, although Lin Xi didn't know Wei Xianwu's specific cultivation, Wei Xianwu's usual pace of cultivation and the aura that put pressure on Lin Xi from time to time made Lin Xi's intuition very likely to be above him.

If it weren't for the use of the Divine Pear Bow and the Crystal Steel Arrow, if he usually faced the enemy normally, just the black-clothed man who was shot by him on the river would probably be a powerful rival, judging from his status and Wei Xianwu's strong confidence when he bowed down to him and spoke, Wei Xianwu's strength should be only higher than that person.

Because he was naturally indifferent to this court matter, Lin Xi could clearly understand Vice President Xia's intention of putting him outside.

Cultivate everything....If you feel uneasy because of some unfavorable news in this court dispute or pressure from some people, how can you be able to stay still on the battlefield in the future, and even settle down at any time when the enemy is pressing, and practice to replenish the soul power consumed?

Lin Xi tried his best to control as if he was controlling the strings, exercising his precision.

The whole iron-headed pike quickly turned into a skeleton in his hands, and after cutting off the useless fish head, Lin Xi put the skeleton into the big clay pot, stewed it with Lao Jiangtuan, and began to eat fish in another small clay pot with boiling water.

This time, because he prepared some seasonings, the slightly scalded fish fillet tasted even more perfect.

Just when he had eaten most of the fish fillets and the hunger in his stomach gradually subsided, he suddenly heard the sound of a boat on the river in front of his small riverside building.

"Dang", and soon, a metal crunch sounded.

Xu Sheng asked to see Lord Lin. ”

Just as his brows furrowed slightly, a voice rang out again and reached his ears.

Lin Xi was slightly stunned and went downstairs, but saw a Wupeng fishing boat parked in front of the riverside platform, Xu Sheng was standing at the bow of the boat, and two fishermen in robes were putting two springboards on the riverside platform.

"Lord Lin. ”

Seeing Lin Xi walk out of the small building, Xu Sheng and the two fishermen immediately bowed respectfully again.

Looking at the three people who saluted respectfully, Lin Xi was slightly stunned, and replied: "Xu Sheng, you came from this river, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Adults will know when they see it. ”

Xu Sheng smiled and waved his hand to the two fishermen behind him, and the two fishermen suddenly showed excitement again. The other fisherman was a little nervous and careful, and dragged out a large skin bag with many holes, and there seemed to be some fierce creature inside, which kept stirring, making this small canopy fishing boat with an inner cabin in the water keep shaking. He was obviously unable to drag the big bag ashore alone, and waited for the fisherman from earlier to come back to help.

Lin Xi looked at the five big black fish in the big net pocket of the previous fisherman, but at a glance he saw that this appearance was a bit like an ordinary sturgeon, but the body was much larger, and the body was more flat and long, Lin Xi was taken aback, "Black sturgeon?!" The moment the words blurted out, he suddenly understood Xu Sheng's intention of coming to him.

"Did you send these fish for me?" Lin Xi looked up at Xu Sheng with some surprise.

For practitioners, it is the standard of not getting tired of eating, not eating too much. I'm afraid that there won't be enough to eat at all, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to eat it. Eating all meals is a great tonic for cultivators, and the most beneficial thing for cultivation is probably something that cultivators in the palace can't do at all.

Originally, Lin Xi was slightly insufficient to eat just one ironhead pike today, but at present, the five Xijiang black sturgeons add up to at least more than 100 catties, and the fisherman dragged it up along the gangplank is also extremely heavy, at least enough for Lin Xi to eat three meals.

"I heard Zhang Erye say that the iron-headed pike and the old river group are very useful to Lord Lin, so I inquired about what Lord Lin needed to go to the fish market that day, and I heard that Lord Lin also asked about snowflake fish and black sturgeon that day, so I felt that it was a little difficult to do, because although the snowflake fish is not difficult to catch, but the amount is small, this black sturgeon is in the depths of the river, it is very difficult to catch, only by deep trawling nets plus some lights and unique bait, it is possible to catch. Xu Sheng was also happy when he saw Lin Xi's surprise, and said with a smile: "Today I gathered with some friends to try it and see how lucky it is, but I didn't expect that even the cormorant Weng from Yanlai Town heard the news and came to help, and I was really lucky to catch these five." ”

Lin Xi was stunned, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the river where the fishing boats had gathered, and at this moment he saw that those fishing boats had dispersed, dotted around, and began to sail to various river banks, so he completely reacted, "Those fishing boats are actually you helping me fish?"

"Everybody does something they're happy to do. Xu Sheng nodded, looked at the fishing boats scattered on the river, and said, "Everyone is very happy today, and many friends have made an appointment to go back and have a drink." ”

Lin Xi felt a little unspeakable in his heart, looking at the happy black-faced young man, he asked, "Who is the cormorant Weng in Yanlai Town?"

"It used to be an old fisherman on the river who specialized in cormorant fishing, and his skills were very skillful, and he was able to catch some extremely difficult fish. Relying on fishing alone, he bought a mansion in Yanlai Town, because he suffered from rheumatism and had completely stopped, and he had not walked around the river for more than ten years, so our juniors only heard about his fishing deeds, but did not see it in person. Xu Sheng seemed to remember the scene of Fang Cai's fishing, and said excitedly: "Only Lord Lin can let him take the initiative to come out, so that we can see his skills." ”

As he spoke, he nodded at the big leather bag beside him more and more excitedly, and said, "Lord Lin, guess what it is?"

"Is it an iron-headed pike?" Looking at the fierce and powerful stirring situation inside the big skin, Lin Xi guessed a little, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said.

"It's the ironhead pike. Xu Sheng laughed and said: "It turns out that this cormorant was able to catch this iron-headed pike back then, and it was because of a special steel cage that made the iron-headed pike able to drill in, but it could not get out. Otherwise, even if the most reliable wire trawl is used, it is easy to be stuck by the river stone at the bottom of the river, and the hard towing will be damaged. Cormorant Weng said that no one could catch the ironhead pike in recent years, and I was afraid that it would be possible to catch it for a while, so he also told us how to make the steel bar cage, let us go and make a few more, and then he would go to the river to guide us and put it in the place where the ironhead pike may be more infested. If nothing else, some can be captured. Cormorant Weng also admires adults so much that he is not stingy with these unique secret skills. ”

"I'll get it. Hearing Xu Sheng say this, and seeing the two fishermen lifting the big skin bag with great difficulty, Lin Xi immediately stepped forward and lifted the big skin bag with one hand, but at the same time, he was also immediately taken aback: "Why is it so heavy?"

Xu Sheng said with a smile: "Cormorant Weng said that he returned to the river for the first time in more than ten years, and in front of so many people, if he only caught one or two, it would be a bit embarrassing in front of everyone and adults, so today he caught five of them." He also said that as long as he was able to get on the boat in the spring of the coming year, and if King Zhang was willing to hold the boat, he would take King Zhang's boat to help the adults catch a good snowflake. Snowflakes were the most abundant and fattest at that time, but the schools of fish were scattered and they ran fast, and they needed Zhang Longwang's extremely fast light boat to catch many in one fell swoop. I also told him, in this case, if I can really make the trip at that time, I will be the east, and then set up a long street hundred fish feast on the riverside Langfang, just to see the peach blossoms on the other side of the river, isn't it beautiful. ”
