Chapter 203: Fishing
Pinjiang Castle is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The division between the two is the "Taming Sea Mountain" where the statue of the dragon god of Pinjiang stands.
The mountain is not high, but it covers a vast area, and the continuous city walls surround the mountain and enclose a huge area, which is the inner city.
Under the dragon god sculpture on the top of the mountain, the Pinjiang Dragon Temple is built. At the foot of the mountain is the city lord's mansion.
Some Pinjiang people feel that this means that in this city, the power of Pinjiang Water Mansion is higher than that of Dayu Wang.
Except for the Pinjiang Dragon Temple and the City Lord's Mansion, most of the cultivation forces gathered in the inner city. For this reason, the inner city is usually closed to mortals.
Unless invited by the city lord's mansion, or every festival to sacrifice to the dragon god of the river, mortals have the opportunity to go up the mountain to burn incense and pray for blessings.
However, these restrictions naturally do not exist for Su Xing, who is a monk.
The top of the Taming Sea Mountain in the distance was still red in the night, reflecting the slightly reddened silver-black god, and the statue of the dragon's head seemed to have a little more majesty.
Retracting his gaze, Pinjiang City is a big city. The boat will stay here for five days.
In the first two days, Su Xinghui took Lin Xixi to walk around the outer city, and on the second three days, he decided to enter the inner city to increase his knowledge, or climb the sea and mountains.
Wandering until late at night, I returned to the inn with a satisfied and full stomach.
I didn't practice, and with a little tiredness, I fell asleep peacefully.
Day 2.
The rejuvenated Lin Xixi drank a large bowl of white jade-like tofu brain, patted his bulging little belly, looked at Su Xing with bright eyes, and his voice carried a hint of flattery and expectation:
"Brother Su, what are we going to eat today?"
Lin Xixi's bright-eyed face still had the same childishness as when she first joined the sect three years ago, and Su Xing was also used to looking at her like a little girl.
handed over a handkerchief and waited for a few breaths before wiping off the tofu brain residue from the corner of the other party's mouth in the other party's puzzled eyes.
Lin Xixi's face turned red, but soon showed a very enjoyable look, like a kitten being petted, and at the same time, his mouth had already begun to chatter:
"Snow dumplings, you still have to eat; He Luo fish is even more fragrant; Red Cream Crab, Meizizi ......"
"Nope." Su Xing ruthlessly interrupted Lin Xixi's chatter.
Lin Xixi spoke, but she had already promised yesterday that Su Xing could only let go of the food yesterday, with a hint of grievance but still obediently responded:
"Oh~"
"He Luoyu, you can see if you can buy it. This thing contains aura, and eating more is beneficial. Su Xing withdrew his handkerchief and said lightly.
"Oh!!" Lin Xixi's slightly frowning beauty suddenly shone brightly, and she jumped up from the chair happily:
"I'm going to eat half a pound of Holo fish, no! A pound! Two pounds!! ”
Glancing at the other party, Su Xing got up to settle the bill and left the inn with Lin Xixi.
Yesterday was mainly in the downtown wandering, today if you want to find He Luo fish, Su Xing set the route along the Pinjiang River.
The Pinjiang River runs through the outer city of the Pinjiang River, and the scenery along the way is beautiful, and Su Xing directly rented a boat driven by an old fisherman and shuttled on the river.
"Uncle, there are a lot of fishers on this river." There were only three people on the boat, Lin Xixi was splashing childlike at the stern, and Su Xing was standing at the bow of the boat talking to the owner.
The old man's face was dark and wrinkled, and the bones of his hands holding the oars were thick, and he grinned when he heard this:
"It's all fishermen from our Xinjiang Society, Childe, you are looking for the right person, I will definitely be the first to know if there is news."
If he wanted to find He Luoyu, Su Xing had already told the old man in front of him. At that time, he first asked for directions and found the ferry where the fishermen gathered, and then found a group of fishermen who looked weathered by his ears, and made his own request.
Surprisingly, no one dared to agree at first.
Without him, this group of people is not stupid. Although Su Xing was polite in his words, he acted politely. But he and Lin Xixi have extraordinary demeanor and temperament. You must know that Pincheng is a town where cultivators and mortals live together.
In case these two people are really the legendary "immortals", they promise to come down but can't do it, wouldn't they be killing themselves.
In the end, only the old man in front of him volunteered to accept the request.
"The Xinjiang Society is just a nice way to put it." The old man shook his head with a smile and explained:
"Actually, it's a bunch of stinky fishers.
In the past, life was not as good as it is now, but then life was better, and there were more fishermen. But the catches are all the soldiers and generals of the Dragon Lord, and we are afraid of disrespecting the Dragon Lord, so we organized this 'Xinjiang Society', and there must be a limit on the number of people and the number of people who fish every day.
Hey, Childe, the Horo fish you are looking for are only allowed to catch five fish a day, and they are also from here.
However, it is difficult to catch Ho Luo fish, and in the past, it may be three or two a day. I went a little late, and I was all robbed, so it's really hard to find. ”
Su Xing looked at the old man rowing the boat, his silver hair was pale but his eyes were bright, and he just looked quite prestigious among that group of fishermen, obviously not an ordinary person.
After thinking about it, it was indeed a bit abrupt to ask the group of fishermen directly where to find the fish. So Su Xing casually found a boat plank, and it was not too dirty, so he sat down and said:
"Don't worry, even if you can't eat He Luo fish, seeing this scenery along the river is enough to fill your stomach."
Lin Xixi, who was at the stern of the boat, raised his head and glanced at the bow of the boat, and glanced at his stomach with some unconvinced.
Ignoring the silent protest of Lin Xi over there, Su Xing continued:
"Didn't you use fishing before?"
Receiving the implied assurance from Su Xing's words, the old man's smile relaxed a little. In the towns where immortals live together, they actually have more real fear than mortals who have never really seen "immortals".
After all, the separation between immortals and mortals, in the eyes of some people, is better than humans and ants.
"It's not that you won't be caught, it's that you don't dare to catch it.
When my grandfather was in his generation, I heard that the Pinjiang River was not as calm as it is now, and there were often monsters in the river.
At that time, fishing was the most dangerous business, and no one was cornered. Well, most of the others persuaded him to fish in the Shangpinjiang River, maybe he could make a living.
Now it's different, everyone can fish with confidence, live a good life, at least not starve to death. We can rely on water to draft, we all have to thank the Dragon King, and the establishment of the Xinjiang Association is also for this. ”
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he remembered the past.
When Su Xing was thoughtful, suddenly, a loud singing voice came from afar:
"There are fish in the east, and there is water in the west~"
The rowing man's eyes lit up and he said with a smile:
"Relying on the good fortune of the son, today He Luoyu is in the net!"
Then, standing up, he sang the same song, and the song was far and powerful, spreading throughout the river:
"The water comes out of the west, and there are 100 people in medicine~"
The singing on both sides continued to respond, and Su Xing could see it. The song seems to carry some code words that the fishermen only understand each other.
Soon after, the singing stopped.
The old man happily rowed the boat and sailed in one direction, and at the same time said to Su Xing:
"Gongzi Fuxing is shining, and there are two whole fish in Mingguan Town! I'll take you over!! ”
