Chapter 62: Everybody's a Fisherman
Obviously, it has not been long since the snake demon was killed, but when he came to the thousand-foot river again, looking at the ebb and flow of the tide in the river and the scene of the waves crashing on the shore, Huai Zhi'an felt like a world away.
During this period of time, too many things have happened, and even Huai Zhi'an's own mentality has changed a lot.
However, there is a problem in front of Huai Zhi'an......
That was the last time the old man of the river god took the initiative to find him, but now that the thousand-foot river is so big, how can he find the old man of the river god?
"Engong, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
Just as Huai Zhi'an was thinking about Jiang, a familiar old voice sounded from behind.
Huai Zhi'an turned his head to see that it was the old man of the river god in sackcloth, who was now dressed as a fisherman, holding a fishing rod and looking at him with a smile.
"Okay." Huai Zhian said with a smile.
Although a lot of things have happened, the results are good.
"Uncle is so good."
Huai Zhi'an refers to the fact that the river gods have become fishermen.
"Haha, I originally came here to retire, and it was very boring to stay in the water on weekdays, so I wanted to find something to do." The river god laughed, and then arched his hand to Huai Zhi'an.
"I haven't told Engong his name yet, in the Lower Whale Ancestral Forest, the Penglai Whale clan is now a river god in this thousand-foot river."
Huai Zhi'an was stunned: "Idle? ”
"It seems that Engong doesn't know something, Engong will come with me."
Whale Zulin smiled kindly, beckoned to Huai Zhi'an, took the fishing gear, turned around and walked towards the river.
Huai Zhi'an was curious to keep up.
Not long after, Huai Zhi'an saw a simple rural dwelling by the river.
Thatched huts, vegetable patches, and even two local chickens.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Huai Zhi'an would never have imagined that the dignified river god would live here.
"The sound of Banqiao people crossing the spring, the rooster crowing at noon on the thatched eaves."
Whale Zulin put down the fish basket in his hand, asked Huai Zhi'an to sit down, and poured tea for Huai Zhi'an.
"It's a special taste to be accompanied by forests, birds and rivers here."
Huai Zhi'an withdrew his thoughtful gaze from the grass hut, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and asked curiously:
"This is the real life portrayal of the river god?"
In Huai Zhi'an's view, this is not at all like the life of the river god, but like the rotten retirement life of the elderly.
He also thought that the river god would run to ask the woodcutter from time to time if he had dropped the axe.
"Hahaha! Don't get me wrong. Whale Zulin laughed.
"Normally, the gods of mountains and rivers who have been pardoned by the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty have corresponding jobs and responsibilities, but the old man's identity is relatively special, so he can be so leisurely."
Huai Zhi'an's expression moved: "Is it because of the identity of the Penglai Whale Clan?" ”
Huai Zhi'an had heard before that the current Water Emperor of the South China Sea was the patriarch of the Penglai Whale Clan, that is, the father of Whale Xiaohe.
And the reason why the Penglai Whale Clan surrendered to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty seems to be because the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty had done the Penglai Whale Clan a very important favor.
The Penglai Whale Clan was grateful, so they nominally chose to surrender to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty and help the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty suppress the demons in the South China Sea for hundreds of years.
"That's right." Whale Zulin nodded. "Our Penglai whale clan is born with the magic power to suppress water transportation and purify water transportation, coupled with the position of the 'river god' pardoned by the Immortal Dynasty, as long as the old man is here, there is no major problem, and the thousand-foot river will always be smooth and the waves will subside."
"So the purpose of the old man coming here is to find a quiet and quiet place to retire."
Speaking of this, Whale Zulin seemed to remember something, and he couldn't laugh or cry a little: "It's just that what makes Engong laugh is that I didn't expect the old man to be targeted by the snake demon when he first came here, if it wasn't for Engong to come to the rescue, the consequences would be unimaginable!" ”
"The old man is serious, it is my generation's responsibility to kill demons and eliminate demons, I can't watch that snake demon go unpunished!"
Huai Zhi'an coughed dryly, and said awe-inspiringly.
Who doesn't know that he Huai Zhi'an is jealous and hateful, and is known as the "Righteous Little Sword Immortal"!
Whale Zulin smiled: "It's not heavy, it's not heavy at all." ”
The young man in front of him has a good personality and is a good person, but his thinking is still simpler.
The basilisk may have been an accident, or it may not have been.
Although he Whale Zulin is a small Lingtai Realm and is not eye-catching at all, his son is the current Water Emperor of the South China Sea and the patriarch of the Penglai Whale Clan.
Once he Whale Zulin died when he became the river god of the Immortal Dynasty, the most direct consequence would be that there was a rift in the relationship between the Penglai Whale Clan and the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty!
There's a lot at stake......
It's just that now that the snake demon is dead, there is no way to continue to track it down, and Whale Zulin can only suppress the speculation in his heart.
"By the way, Engong, have you ever seen the old man's granddaughter?"
"You mean Whale Lotus?"
Whale Zulin stroked his palms and laughed: "That's right! ”
"My granddaughter has lived on Penglai Island since she was a child, although her personality is a little naughty, but her heart is straightforward and innocent, she has a pure heart, and she has no evil thoughts, and the only drawback may be that she is greedy."
"Now that my granddaughter is going out for the first time, the old man also asks Engong to take care of her."
Huai Zhi'an smiled and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Whale Xiaohe is staying well in the view, and there are new friends, so the two of them have a lot of fun." ”
When the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks met, the whale Xiaohe and Wutong had a good relationship, so they almost worshiped the son directly and married Jinlan.
"That's good, that's good." With Huai Zhi'an's promise, Whale Zulin relaxed his heart.
"But uncle, Whale Xiaohe said that you always have something to look for me, I don't know what it is?"
Huai Zhi'an only remembered the purpose of his visit this time.
"Hmmm......"
Whale Zulin's expression was restricted, he put down the teacup and muttered for a moment.
"Eun Gong wait a minute."
I saw Whale Zulin take out a golden token from his arms and throw it high into the sky.
The golden token hung ten feet above the two of them, and an inexplicable sense of majesty and sacredness fell, and the golden light enveloped the entire grass house.
"This is the river god order, with the river god order, it is equivalent to the protection of the immortal dynasty, and anyone who wants to watch the Dao law here will be noticed by the old man."
Seeing Huai Zhi'an's puzzled eyes, Whale Zulin explained with a smile.
"I see."
Huai Zhi'an bowed, but he was also curious about what kind of thing was so important that it was worth so much trouble for Whale Zulin.
"What the old man is going to say next is very important, I hope Engong will not spread it." Whale Zulin said solemnly.
"Please."
Huai Zhi'an's expression also became serious.
"My Penglai whale family was born in Penglai, roaming the South China Sea, free, no one in the sea can be bullied, and no demon dares to provoke."
"But Duke Engong knows, hundreds of years ago, why did my Penglai Whale clan suddenly surrender to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty?"
Whale Zulin looked at Huai Zhi'an in a gentle tone.
Huai Zhi'an hesitated: "I heard...... Is it that the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty once had a favor with the Penglai Whale Clan? ”
"It was the girl doll from Daoguishan who told you, right?" Whale Zulin smiled. "In fact, Daoguishan can be regarded as one of the existences that knows the truth, but those old immortals who know the truth should not have told the girl the real past."
"The Penglai Whale clan has nominally surrendered to the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty for hundreds of years, and helped the Immortal Dynasty suppress the South China Sea for hundreds of years, indeed because of repaying the favor, because it was almost a little bit back then, and the Penglai Whale clan was almost wiped out!"
Huai Zhi'an was shocked.
Whale Zulin's smiling eyes opened slightly, staring at Huai Zhi'an.
Hidden under the cloudy eyes is the depth of the undercurrent.
"And now, the Penglai Whale clan will once again face the threat of extinction, and I ask Engong to help!"
Huai Zhi'an frowned, he felt that there was trouble.
