Chapter 9: Frustration

The big fish with golden scales was three feet long, and its eyes gleamed with pleading, as if it were about to cry.

Monster, this must be a monster, Yun Yao was surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that she would catch a monster after her strength increased.

"Don't eat me." The fish actually spoke, and his voice was as old as a twilight bell, and it was really a wise monster.

Yun Yao immediately retreated and distanced herself: "Who are you a demon?" ”

"Zhu Nu, don't be afraid. I am the god of the Zhu River, such as today's new court, the Emperor of Heaven divides the seal, Zhu He establishes the Zhu River Dragon Palace, my river god mana is low and difficult to resist, wandering Zhu He becomes a wild demon, today is really hungry and unbearable, and I will take the bait when I see Zhu Nu fishing. The fish mouth was like a river, and told his tragic experience, it turned out that he was originally a river god, but now he was expelled, and he was exiled to the Zhu River, and he couldn't even eat.

"How do you know my name, you know me?" Yun Yao was surprised that the other party actually knew about it.

"There are twelve ferries on the Zhu River, and when I was the god of the river, I collected more sacrifices from the boatmen, so I naturally recognized it. When your father became a baron, he sacrificed a pure brown horse, and he wants me to take more care of your Zhu family. After that, I often kept your father safe under the water, and after he died, I also protected you in secret, and every time you fished, I was able to return with a full load because of my secret help, but you never sacrificed to the river god, which really annoyed me. This big fish, who claims to be the god of the river, actually claims to have been protecting the Zhu family's father and daughter, and is even the main reason for the rapid improvement of Yunyao's fishing skills.

Yun Yao did know that his father would sacrifice to the river god every year and would buy sheep as sacrifices. Since his death, Yun Yao has indeed not sacrificed once, because at that time she didn't know that there were really these messy fairies and ghosts in this world. As a traverser, he is not feudal and superstitious, and his life is also sad, so he can't eat enough, how can he go to worship the gods.

However, this guy said that he was able to catch fish because of his credit, which made Yun Yao a little unhappy, couldn't it be that his fishing skills had improved?

Yun Yao didn't doubt the other party's words, because it had obviously lived in the river all along, and if it was really malicious, it would be easy for it to overturn the canoe while crossing the river by itself. But in the past two years, Yun Yao has not encountered any accidents and has been smooth sailing, so it is basically certain that the other party is not lying.

If it didn't lie, then Yun Yao didn't thank it for not being a little embarrassed, so he could only say vaguely: "My father has just passed away, and the family spends a lot, so I don't have a sacrifice, I'm ashamed." ”

"I know the situation, and I don't really blame you. Now that you know who I am, let me go back to the river. You don't have to sacrifice me anymore in the future, I'm leaving, this Zhu River can't accommodate me anymore. "The river god is very lonely, it has been living in the Zhu River, conscientiously protecting the human race on both sides of the river, but in the end it has not even been mixed up, it is really miserable.

Yun Yao picked up the heavy big fish, put it back into the water, and said: "You have been in the Zhu River for so long, even if the Heavenly Court establishes the Dragon Palace, the dragon clan is not familiar with the environment when they come from the sea, and it is no problem for you to be the head of the Zhu River." ”

The big fish seemed to be considering Yun Yao's proposal: "I didn't expect you to understand these truths at a young age, but the dragon clan is proud, but I am afraid that you will not listen to me, a wild spirit fish monster with weak mana." "Zhu Nu, you don't have to worry, even if I leave, Zhu He will be managed by Heavenly Court, and there will be no chaos. It's just that you can have snacks when you fish in the future, and as far as your skills are concerned, without me secretly taking care of them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to harvest as before. ”

Yun Yao stayed where she was, falling into self-doubt, could her fishing skills really be as bad as before? So what to do? I also promised others to come and buy fish, if I can't catch fish, I still have to lose face?

Although the mana is low, Da Yu has seen many different people, and looking at Yun Yao's expression, she knew that she was worried about the consequences of not being able to catch a fish, so she said: "I help you, it is entirely because of your father's heavy sacrifice, and now it has been fifteen years, and I and your Zhu family have been cleared, even if I stay, it is impossible for me to continue to help you." ”

Yun Yao sighed, thinking that she would have to change the way of fishing in the future: "Okay, I know, but can you help me one last time before you leave?" ”

The big fish said, "You caught me and let me go, and I should help you." What's the matter? ”

Yun Yao thought of Cao Cao's words, I want to borrow your head and use it. If this golden-scaled fish is a gift, the mountain people will definitely be happy.

Fortunately, Yun Yao is not Cao Cao, if she were Cao Cao, she would not send a big fish into the water: "I intend to learn archery from the mountain people, but I don't have a suitable meeting gift, so I want to catch a big fish as a gift." Can you give me a big fish? ”

The golden-scaled big fish nodded: "Some small things, you can go back when I go." As he spoke, there were ripples on the surface of the river, and a carp sank into the water and disappeared.

There was about a stick of incense, and there was a splash on the surface of the water, and then an arm-long black fish jumped directly out of the water and landed on the shore, it must have been chased by the golden-scaled fish and jumped onto the river bank in a panic.

"Are you satisfied with this fish?" The golden-scaled fish also came out again, and raised his head and said to Yun Yao on the shore.

"Satisfied, I've never seen a fish this big." Yun Yao said in surprise.

"It's natural, big fish are cunning, and they won't be easily baited." The golden-scaled fish said, "I've finished your business, so I'll go first." Don't forget to sacrifice to the river god in the future, the dragons don't have me to talk to. One turned around and disappeared into the water again, the water surface was calm and no longer changed, and the big fish did not forget to remind Yunyao not to forget the sacrifice before leaving.

Yun Yao looked at the big black fish jumping around on the shore, and felt a trance in his heart, as if he had a ridiculous and strange dream, if it weren't for the fish on the shore and the traces of water, I was afraid that it would be hard to believe that he had actually hung the river god in front of the Zhu River, and he also knew that there was a dragon palace in the Zhu River, which was really a miracle in the world.

Putting the fish in a cage and raising it, Yun Yao decided to visit the mountain people tomorrow, since getting the turtle shell, there have been more and more strange things, and the peaceful life has in vain increased the pressure, making her desperate to become stronger, wanting to gain the power of self-preservation.

Of course, Yun Yao didn't forget to try it again, wanting to see how his fishing skills were, it turned out that the golden fish didn't lie, Yun Yao's fishing skills were a mess, after the big fish left, until it was dark, Yun Yao didn't catch any fish.

Yun Yao wanted to cry without tears, but she didn't expect that the personnel changes in Heavenly Court would directly affect her income: "What's the use of this fishing rod I want?!" "Put away the fishing rod, Yun Yao wants to seal the fishing rod and never fish again, which hurts his self-esteem.

Unexpectedly, the first major setback after the crossing came so suddenly, which directly caused Yun Yao to change the way of fishing, and her self-esteem was hit.
