Volume 1 Heavenly Beast Gate Selected Spirits Chapter 4 Spiritual Food
Coming out of the house of the village chief Xu Jin, Xu Tianbao, the son of the village chief Xu Jin, stopped the two and said that he wanted to take Liu Qingyi to the lake to learn fishing.
Luo'er was not in high spirits along the way, only kept his head and didn't speak, but Xu Tianbao was an extremely talkative person, and constantly explained the essentials of fishing to Liu Qingyi along the way, which was quite a bit of deliberate acceptance.
After a short walk, they came to the edge of the big silver lake, Luo Er pointed to a flat fishing boat, and said to Liu Qingyi and the two: "Oh, that's my boat." After that, he quickly untied the rope with his little hand, turned over and got into the cabin like a milk swallow, and when Liu and Xu got on the boat, they gently stretched out their hands to support the oar, and slowly rowed towards the center of the lake.
Liu Qingyi sat in the cabin, looking at the clear waves on the surface of the lake with some embarrassment, slightly stunned. He thought that he would fall into this lake when he came to this world, and he couldn't help but have a special affection for this big lake.
Xu Tianbao stood at the bow of the boat, still chattering about the fishing situation of the Great Lake, listening to his introduction, the red-billed fish abundant in this Great Lake seems to be extremely sought-after, and it is the main source of income for the Yuan currency of the entire Humiao Village.
Liu Qingyi frowned, and asked curiously, "Is there anything special about this fish?" ”
Xu Tianbao raised his head and said with Guan Zi: "Who doesn't know that the red-billed fish in our Humiao Village is very famous!" If you want to say that it is special, it should be extremely special, otherwise how could Yinyuan City list it as a tribute this time, and save our village a lot of coins. ”
Liu Qingyi speculated: "Could it be that the taste is too delicious and makes people want to stop?" ”
Xu Tianbao smiled and said: "Little Brother Liu, you don't know this, the red-mouthed fish in our Humiao Village is a well-known spiritual food, which has the effect of helping to enlighten the spirit, and it is not comparable to ordinary fish." ”
Hearing this, Liu Qingyi felt even more ignorant, and said in surprise: "Spiritual food? Enlightenment? What do you mean? ”
This time it was Xu Tianbao's turn to be surprised, he looked at Liu Qingyi, and said as if he didn't believe it: "You don't even know Qiling?" ”
Liu Qingyi opened her mouth a little cracked, and said, "Look at you, I haven't forgotten everything." ”
Hearing this, Xu Tianbao remembered that this person didn't seem to remember anything except his name, so he patiently explained: "If a mortal wants to become a real immortal, he must first have a spirit body..."
Hearing Xu Tianbao's words, Liu Qingyi's heart was already turning up a monstrous wave, and he said in a trembling voice: "Immortals, are there really immortals?" ”
Xu Tianbao squinted at Liu Qingyi, and seemed a little amused at his fussy appearance, and said: "The so-called immortals are the monks in our mortal mouths; The so-called immortal family is a sect of cultivating immortals. There are many mortal families in our Hidden Yuan City, and because of the monks who practiced in the Immortal Family, these families have risen to become the Immortal Dao Family of Hidden Yuan City. ”
Liu Qingyi asked blankly, "What do those immortals have to do with the fish in this lake?" ”
Xu Tianbao continued like an old pedant: "The first condition for becoming an immortal cultivator is to have a spirit body. This spirit body is not the same for everyone, and there are often high and low qualifications, which are mostly distinguished by thick or thin. The so-called thick spirit body means that it can naturally become a spirit body without the help of external objects; Thin spirit bodies refer to those who have been unable to become spirit bodies for a long time, and must use the catalysis of external objects to increase their spiritual energy from the outside to the inside by eating many rare spiritual foods, in order to transform into real spirit bodies. Hey, the red-billed fish in our Humiao Village is the recognized spiritual food of Yinyuan City. ”
After Xu Tianbao finished speaking, Liu Qingyi was already stunned, these words almost completely refreshed his cognition of this world, and the unfamiliar words of 'immortals, spirits, enlightenment, and spiritual food' drilled into Liu Qingyi's mind, like a fast-moving train constantly colliding and impacting his original world's thoughts and cognitions.
Compared with his original world cognition, these things can be said to be incredible, as if opening a new world door for him, which made Deliu Qingyi's heart unable to calm down for a long time, and he felt a sense of dryness.
After being silent for a long time, Liu Qingyi asked as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Where are those immortals?" Have you ever seen one? ”
Hearing Liu Qingyi's question, Tianbao said smugly: "What's so strange about that, I have naturally seen it." Then he mysteriously said to Liu Qingyi: "There was also an immortal in our village." ”
Liu Qingyi was stunned and said, "Is there really one?" ”
Xu Tianbao chuckled and said, "Eighteen villages near and far in Yinyuan City, and there have been immortals in our Humiao Village. It is also because of the immortals in our Humiao Village, that no one has dared to make up their minds about the red-billed fish produced in the village. ”
Liu Qingyi asked, "Where is that immortal?" Can you show me? ”
Xu Tianbao glanced at Liu Qingyi with some dissatisfaction, and thought to himself: "This person really takes himself seriously, take you to see him, how old are you?" He ignored Liu Qingyi's words, and said to himself: "That immortal is the ancestor of my family, but unfortunately he fell later due to the affairs of the sect, if he is still here now, our Xu family is probably also the superior family of Yinyuan City." After Xu Tianbao finished speaking, he sighed again, as if he wanted his ancestors to come back to life.
After hearing this, Liu Qingyi's heart was half cold, the so-called fall of Xu Tianbao's immortal ancestor was probably dead. I wanted to see the legendary omnipotent immortal, but I never imagined that the immortal would die? I couldn't help but be disappointed for a while, thinking that the so-called immortals might not be easy to mix, otherwise Xu Tianbao's ancestors would not have died so easily. He thought about it like this, and he suddenly relieved some of the burning emotions in his heart.
The small fishing boat wandered on the lake for a long time, and Xu Tianbao took the trouble to introduce Liu Qingyi to the fish wandering on the water, what hookfish, xiong fish, and big white-bellied fish, all of which were fish species that Liu Qingyi had never heard of.
According to Xu Tianbao's description, it turned out that the red-billed fish usually lived in the depths of the big lake, which was extremely difficult to catch, and few of them scurried to the surface of the lake, and only at night did they frolic in groups in the waters in the middle of the lake.
Liu Qingyi became interested in the red-billed fish in his heart, and when he heard this, he couldn't help urging: "Teach me how to fish, I'm going to catch a few of it tonight." ”
Xu Tianbao smiled and said, "Of course." ”
Seeing that Liu Qingyi was so concerned about fishing, Luo Er seemed to have accepted the career of becoming his own man, and the color on his face looked a lot better, and he talked to the two from time to time.
When it was almost dark, Xu Tianbao taught Liu Qingyi some essentials of fishing, and carried the net to do a few demonstrations, and Luo'er docked the boat and went home with Xu Tianbao.
Liu Qingyi insisted on staying on the boat alone, saying that he would practice fishing skills overnight, and the two had to be tossed by him.
When the two were gone, he rowed the boat to the middle of the lake by himself, raised his hand and shook off the net in a decent manner, and spread it evenly to the surface of the lake. This night, he went down several times to collect the net, perhaps he roughly mastered some essentials, and in the early morning, he was full of harvest, and even the red-billed fish caught seven or eight.
Liu Qingyi looked at the red-billed fish caught in surprise and saw that this legendary baby fish was the same as Xu Tianbao described, the gills of the fish mouth were red, and the silver scales flashed, and the appearance was extremely pleasing.
When Luo'er came to deliver food in the morning, Liu Qingyi asked her to bring flint and told her that she planned to eat and live by the lake, and when she was hungry, she would roast the fish she had caught by herself, so that she didn't have to send any more food.
Luo'er thought that he was fishing for more fish, but he readily agreed, and even asked him not to work too hard, pay more attention to rest and drink water, etc., how did she know that the fish in Liu Qingyi's mouth was the red-mouthed fish that the whole village relied on for survival.
In this way, for several days, Liu Qingyi's biological clock was almost reversed, and he stayed on the boat during the day, and at night he went to the middle of the lake to catch the red-billed fish in the underground net all night, and when he was hungry, he grilled the red-mouthed fish to eat to his heart's content.
It's just that he has eaten a lot of this red-mouthed fish, but he didn't find any major changes in his body, but his physical strength is increasing day by day under rowing and manipulating the net, and Liu Qingyi has to comfort himself, so it can be regarded as having some effect.
Except for the red-mouthed fish that he stole and ate, he asked Luo'er to send all the red-mouthed fish he caught to the village, and asked the village chief Xu Jin to take it to fill the annual tribute.
Xu Jin was naturally so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, after all, relying on Luo'er's mother and daughter, the efficiency of fishing was not as good as that of a strong man like Liu Qingyi. Although Murakami did not apportionment the share of yuan coins to her mother and daughter, their family took more responsibility for this special tribute, the red-billed boiled fish, and the burden on the rest of the village was much lighter.
After more than ten days in this way, Liu Qingyi's fishing skills have become more and more proficient, and the red-billed fish have been caught more and more, almost surpassing the fishing results of everyone in the village. Xu Jin, the village head, was very happy and rewarded dozens of red-billed fish for Liu Qingyi to take and dispose of by himself, so as to subsidize the family for Luo'er's family.
Liu Qingyi put away those red-billed fish in a fish basket, pursed his lips, and said in his heart: "Just this thing, I have eaten at least hundreds of them in the past ten days, and now they are not rare to eat, so I left them for you to send them, but you took them to return the favor." ”
