Chapter 7: Big Fish
In a burst of laughter, a group of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods ended the banquet.
At this time, Xu Xuan suddenly remembered that Lord Chenghuang had promised to give him some help, and it was time to fulfill his promise.
"Master, where is the help you are talking about?"
"Far away, close at hand."
“???”
"You go to Xishan this time, accompanied by Zhao Jinqian, so that you can turn evil into good fortune and ensure worry-free."
I see!
Xu Xuan looked at the beautiful little lady standing beside him, and finally knew why the master asked her to accompany the wine.
It's just that he was puzzled, let such a delicate female ghost accompany him to Xishan, can he really help subdue demons?
However, since Master has arranged it this way, he must have a reason.
Bidding farewell to the City God, Xu Xuan took Zhao Jinqian and slowly left the City God Temple.
Xu Xuan opened his eyes and found that he had returned to the yang world.
There is a palm-sized yellow gourd beside him, which should be Zhao Jinqian's residence.
Sure enough, in order to verify his conjecture, Xu Xuan opened the gourd stopper, and Zhao Jinqian's shadow immediately appeared in front of him.
"I'm afraid there will be a lot of hardships on this trip, and I ask Miss Jinqian to take care of me along the way."
Xu Xuan saluted Zhao Jinqian.
"The little master doesn't have to be polite, he can share the worries of the little master, and Jin Qian is also very happy."
Zhao Jinqianqiao's face was slightly red, and she said with a smile.
After a few words of greeting with one person and one ghost, Xu Xuan took Zhao Jinqian to leave the City God Temple and rushed home.
When he returned home, Xu Xuan immediately resigned to his sister and went to Xishan in the name of sweeping the tomb of his father and mother.
Xu Xuan's father and mother in this life were buried in Xishan that year, and it is natural for them to go to the tomb every year.
Regarding this point, Xu Rongjun didn't ask much, but just told Xu Xuan to pay attention to safety all the way.
Xu Xuan was carrying a cage with some dry food in it, a change of clothes, and a few spiritual runes, all of which were rewarded by the merit treasure mirror.
Xu Xuan was dressed in green clothes, wearing a square scarf, carrying a cage, and he was a handsome young man.
The West Mountain is in the northwest outside the city of Wuliu County, it is a big mountain, the radius is 100 miles, the jungle is luxuriant, although the momentum is not too majestic, but the terrain is complex, the mountains are very numerous, the flowing springs and waterfalls, the rocks are craggy.
There are many jackals, foxes, badgers in the mountains, and many rich gentry enter the mountains to hunt in the late winter of autumn every year.
Of course, it is rumored that there are many mountain spirits and monsters in this mountain, and without a good martial arts foundation, ordinary people dare not easily enter this deep mountain and old forest.
For the roads in Xishan, Xu Xuan is familiar with the road, after all, he has to sweep the graves of his parents every year.
Xishan is about 100 miles away from Wuliu County, Xu Xuan was not in a hurry, he stopped all the way, and talked with the beautiful Zhao Jinqian in his spare time, but also enhanced a lot of feelings.
As dusk approached, Xu Xuan came to a small town.
Bibo Town.
It is only ten miles away from Bibo Lake, and most of the people in the town are fishermen.
As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, the eighty-mile Bibo Lake has raised the people.
This place is also quite familiar to Zhao Jinqian, she threw herself into the lake and died in this eighty-mile blue wave lake.
Entering the town, it is unusually lively, full of people, and passing vendors keep selling.
Many fishermen set up stalls on the street to sell fish, and the yellowtail in Bibo Lake is very famous and belongs to the local cuisine.
Seeing that night was coming soon, Xu Xuan planned to stay in this Bibo Town for one night and hit the road early tomorrow morning.
After all, it is not safe to walk at night, and in recent years, the decline of the national fortunes of the Daqian Dynasty has bred some demons and monsters, which are the cause of misfortune.
Of course, monsters can kill people, and people can kill monsters, but after all, they are stronger than anyone.
Xu Xuan was wandering on the street, when suddenly there was a burst of exclamations from a stall in front of him, and it was full of people watching the excitement.
Driven by curiosity, Li Yufeng also stepped forward and squeezed into the crowd.
As far as the eye could see, I saw a large tank in front of a stall selling fish, and a large fish more than four feet long was floating in the large tank.
The yellowtail in this Bibo Lake is generally only one foot long, and even if it is a big fish, the largest is only one and a half feet.
Many of the people who watched the excitement were natives of Bibo Town, and they had never seen such a large yellowtail.
As the saying goes, rare and strange, many people see such a large yellowtail for the first time, which naturally attracts a lot of attention.
The owner of the fish stall is a sturdy man named Zhao Si, who makes a living from fishing.
This time, I was lucky enough to catch such a big fish, thinking that I would sell it for a good price while there were more people.
It's just that the people of Bibo Town see a lot of excitement, but there are very few fish buyers.
As the so-called fish become essence, especially such a large yellowtail fish, it may already have spirituality.
"Zhao Si, such a big yellowtail is really inedible, so it's better to release it."
"That is, the big fish has a spirit, and if you eat it, you will be punished."
"It's not easy for this yellowtail to grow so big, I'm afraid it's going to rot the ass if you kill and eat meat."
……
Some people who were familiar with Zhao Si began to admonish him to release this big fish for good luck.
This Zhao Si is a little lazy on weekdays, and his life is poor, and he is not treated well by others and is looked down upon.
Originally, I thought that the time would come, and if I caught such a big yellowtail, I should be able to make a fortune.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, everyone persuaded him to release his life, which obviously thought in his eyes that everyone was jealous of him and couldn't see him getting rich.
After some admonition from everyone, those who originally had the intention to buy fish also dispelled their thoughts at this moment, and they were really afraid that eating this fish would bring bad luck to themselves.
After shouting for a long time, Zhao Si was stunned that he didn't sell the four-foot-long yellowtail at a high price.
Seeing the scattering, Zhao Si had no choice but to pull the trailer and take the big fish away.
Seeing that the big fish was not sold, Xu Xuan was also a little relieved.
He watched the excitement just now, but he also saw some differences.
This yellowtail does have a spirit, it should be enlightened, there is no fishy smell on its body, but it has not harmed people's lives.
It's just that this time it was captured by Zhao Si, it was a fateful calamity, the mountain spirit monster cultivation, if you want to cultivate into a great demon and ghost immortal who cannot enter the reincarnation, you will inevitably have to go through all kinds of calamities.
These are all providential orders, and ordinary people must not change them easily, otherwise they will suffer from cause and effect.
As the so-called bell is solved, the bell is still tied to the bell, this big fish is caught by Zhao Si, and I can only hope that Zhao Si's conscience will find it and release this big fish.
If Zhao Si kills this big fish and eats meat, then this big fish deserves to die, everything depends on the will of God.
"Miss Jinqian, you were also a water ghost in Bibo Lake before, do you know the origin of this big fish?"
"Although I am a water ghost, I am also in charge of the city god, and I rarely interact with the spirits of Bibo Lake."
"According to you, there are spirits in Bibo Lake, too?"
Hearing that there were spirits in Bibo Lake, Xu Xuan's eyes lit up.
"Naturally, my godfather lives in Bibo Lake, but his old man never harms people, and I also help him take care of him these days in Bibo Lake."
mentioned her godfather, Zhao Jinqian's words were grateful.
"Tomorrow we will pass by Bibo Lake, and if we have the opportunity, we must meet the old people and give some gifts to show our gratitude."
"The little master is kind, Jin Qian is here to thank the little master for the godfather."
"It's okay, it's a traditional virtue to respect the old and love the young."
“……”
After listening to Xu Xuan's answer, Zhao Jinqian's good impression of him increased again.
I thought in my heart: The little old man is handsome, but also full of economy and chivalry, if he met him before his death, he might fall in love with him at first sight.
