Volume II, Chapter 19: The Five-Whiskered Carp

As soon as he came out of the moon pier, Mo Yan muttered that he wanted the turtle to fly to Momosawa, and the turtle was full of reluctance, but in the blink of an eye, he changed his mind again, and flew away quickly without waiting for urging.

"Humph!" Hanyu couldn't help but "hum".

As soon as they reached the sky above Taozawa, the three golden toads greeted them, and it seemed that they were still very conscientious.

"Where is the demon?" Three golden toads wielded steel forks.

"Don't you know anything else?" Mei Niang asked sympathetically.

"Other words?" The three golden toads looked at each other.

"Is the Great Immortal here?" Mo Yan hurriedly asked.

"Yes! But let us report it first, so that you ... Before they could finish speaking, the turtle swooped down.

"Hey, hey... How should you ... Dare to trespass... The three golden toads were so anxious that they stammered.

At this moment, a black shadow swept across the ground, and Xiaoyao was already standing in front of the Divine Turtle.

"Alright! Stand down! Xiaoyao waved his wings impatiently. The three golden toads immediately pouted and flew behind him, and then watched from afar.

"Guiyuan Daxian is coming to visit!" The turtle couldn't wait to introduce himself.

"Guiyuan Great Immortal?!" Xiaoyao hurriedly looked around.

"Me! Me! I am Guiyuan Daxian! I'll be called Guiyuan from now on! The turtle hurriedly rushed to the front of Xiaoyao. Xiaoyao pretended to look at the turtle in puzzlement, and the turtle was so choked that his neck was red.

"Great Immortal! This is the delicious food I promised you! Mo Yan hurriedly handed over a cloth bag.

"Oh! What's delicious? Xiaoyao immediately turned to the ink smoke.

"Five-colored fruit, you should know!" Mo Yan said with a wink.

"You little girl, thank you so much! I haven't eaten it in years! Xiaoyao was so excited that his voice trembled a little.

"Hey..." The Turtle couldn't help but shout, but Xiaoyao still ignored it.

"Alright! We're still in a hurry, so I'm not going to talk to you! Mo Yan was afraid that the turtle would turn his face, so he quickly jumped back on the turtle's back.

"What's the hurry?" Xiaoyao asked.

"There is news from the master, but I don't know if it's true or not, we have to go and see!" One Cake explained.

"What! I thought that old ... Alright, alright, let's go! Xiaoyao waved his wings impatiently.

"You wait! Take this! Suddenly, Xiaoyao stopped another cake and took a feather from his tail.

"This?"

"Just take it!" Before Xiaoyao's words fell, he flapped his wings and flew away. The three golden toads grimaced and followed.

Everyone could feel the rapid undulation of the royal lid.

"Brother, let's go! Let's go! "The fat girl also saw that something was wrong.

The turtle let out a heavy sigh, and then it took off into the air.

Sure enough, after leaving Momozawa, the turtle stopped talking. The original words were nagging, and they didn't say a word for dozens of miles. No matter how Hanyu and Mei Niang squeezed him, he didn't react. This can make everyone a little hairy.

"Brother Turtle, why don't you speak?" Mo Yan finally couldn't help but ask.

"Are you angry with the Great Immortal?"

"Hey, what the hell do you mean?" Han Yu was a little anxious.

Mo Yan scratched his head, as if he remembered something. She reached out and pulled a cloth bag out of her bag.

"Oops! Forget it, just ignore people! These five-colored fruits, everyone has to divide them! Mo Yan said helplessly while sharing it with everyone.

"Don't!" The turtle immediately stopped in the air.

"Tossing for a long time, dying, just for this? You vinegar turtle! Mei Niang couldn't help but scold.

"What? I'm wondering how to find a master with a piece of bread! "The turtle's mouth is still sharpening.

"Brother Turtle, what I gave you is much more than what I gave to the Great Immortal, if you don't eat it, it will soon be bad... Mo Yan said regretfully.

"Eat! Who said not to eat! Don't divide it anymore! The turtle was so anxious that Wang Ba's neck twisted.

"Divide it, divide it!" Hanyu shouted deliberately.

"Okay, don't divide it, then I'll give it to you when I get there!" Mo Yan immediately smiled happily. She said that, but she still sent one to everyone.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get to the ground!" The turtle hurriedly continued to fly.

The five-colored fruit, the size of a quail egg, resembles a pumpkin, with five petals and five colors, smells tasteless, eats sweet, and makes people feel refreshed. According to Mo Yan's explanation, this fruit not only replenishes qi and strengthens the element, but also avoids cold and wards off evil spirits.

Suddenly, a three-way intersection appeared at his feet, and a cake immediately slapped the turtle's back vigorously.

"Brother Turtle, let's go over there and have a look, okay?"

"What?" The turtle muttered, but flew toward the forest.

"Do you remember here? Where you hurt! Yibi looked at Hanyu a little nervously.

"Cut! I don't remember! Although Han Yu said this on his lips, he already understood it in his heart.

As soon as the turtle landed, a cake rolled down like lightning. He ran to the edge of the forest and shouted loudly, "Mofeng, Mofeng, are you there?" ”

For a long time, they didn't hear any response except for a response.

"He doesn't have to be here!" Hanyu muttered.

"Brother Turtle, please fly around this area and see if you can find him!" A loaf of bread begged.

The turtle, who was tasting the five-colored fruit, immediately looked impatient. He turned his head to look at Mo Yan and asked, "Is Mo Feng your brother?"

"What! I don't know anything about Mofeng at all! Mo Yan shook his head vigorously.

"It's the little black rabbit who helped us at the beginning, and Mofeng is the name I gave him!" Yibai said and reached out to take a five-colored fruit to taste, but the turtle immediately took the cloth bag in his mouth.

"Just eat one!" A cake swallowed and foamed. The turtle nervously pressed its two front legs against the cloth bag.

"Okay, okay, don't eat, fly around!" A cake hurriedly climbed onto the turtle's back.

The turtle didn't say anything more, he hurriedly and carefully took the cloth bag to Mo Yan, who hurriedly whispered, "Don't worry! I'm looking at it! The turtle breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes were red with gratitude.

After five or six more circles around the forest, not only did the bread shout, but even the fat girl shouted with him, but he still didn't hear any movement. However, the turtle was empathetic, and he took the initiative to enlarge the flight range, until he had turned around the three-pronged mouth for twenty miles, and then he turned his head and stared at a cake.

"Forget it! Let's talk about it when we get back! A pane of disappointment.

"Are you looking for him?" The chubby girl asked curiously.

"He helped me, I promised him to take him back to Companion Moon Dun!"

"Oh, that's it!" The fat girl couldn't help but glance at Han Yu.

"Neither is it close to me!" Han Yu's ears immediately fluttered.

Hongkun closed his eyes in pain, although he was used to it, but the thought of taking in another black rabbit would really become an animal paradise.

In the distance, a large river came into view. I saw that the water surface was not alarmed, the sand and Ou Xiang gathered, the brocade scales in the water cruised, the two banks were lush and green, and the Yellow River, which was originally rushing and roaring, has become a layer of thin waves.

"Brother Turtle, go down early, don't let others see it!" Hong Kun hurriedly said. With so many people sitting on a king and flying around, it will frighten a lot of people.

The turtle circled, flew towards the woods by the roadside, and then found a clearing and fell.

"Two more!" Before he could shrink, the turtle shouted impatiently. Mo Yan hurriedly fed him two more.

"Go along this road, and it's Mengjin Ferry!" Hongkun had already observed the path from the air.

In less than a pillar of incense, everyone came to Mengjin Ferry. Although it is not a big place, it is full of people and lively. In order not to attract the attention of others, Hongkun repeatedly reminded Hanyu and Mei Niang to shrink into their pockets and never show their heads, although the two were unwilling, they did not refuse.

The people searched separately, and it was not until the afternoon that all the ferries were finally transferred. It's disappointing that not only didn't I hear about any five-bearded carp, but even those who heard about it didn't find one, could it be that the news that Uncle Shi got was fake?!

Just when everyone was at a loss, the fat girl ran back with a stack of flatbread.

"Eat it, everyone! It's still hot! She hurriedly distributed it to everyone.

"What shall we do?" Biyi turned to look at Hongkun, and she didn't answer the pie handed by the fat girl. The chubby girl had to take it back in embarrassment.

"I haven't eaten in a day, let's eat some first!" Hong Kun hurriedly asked the fat girl for one, and then broke half of it and stuffed it to Biyi.

"Senior Brother Kun, the bread seller just now said that there are also fishers on the other side, why don't we go over and have a look!" The chubby girl suddenly looked up and said.

"Oh? yes! Let's just stare at this side, maybe over there! Let's go now! Hongkun immediately pulled his legs and left. The others hurried to follow.

There were a few small boats parked at the nearest ferry, all of which they had just visited. These boats, let alone everyone, can't hold just a cake and a fat girl. Luckily, as he spoke, a larger fishing boat was slowly approaching.

"Boatman, do you want to go back to the other side?" Seeing a swarthy old fisherman standing at the bow of the boat, Hong Kun hurriedly asked in a loud voice.

The old fisherman looked at the crowd and said nothing. The two young fishermen at the stern of the boat also frowned.

"Boatman, can you take me to the other side?" Hongkun asked again.

"What are you doing across the other side?" The old fisherman replied reluctantly, his voice sounding particularly hoarse.

"I heard that there was a carp with five whiskers in this vicinity, and I asked here for a long time, but no one knew, so I wanted to go to the other side to find it!" Hong Kun explained.

"Five whiskers? Why are you asking about this? "The fisherman seemed interested.

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm good at raising fish, and when I see those rare species, I want to buy them and raise them at home!"

"That's it!" The old fisherman's eyes flickered, and he suddenly whispered: "Yes, yes, it's a little expensive, I don't know... “

"No problem with money! But you'll have to show me first! Hongkun couldn't help but be overjoyed. The crowd was also in high spirits.

"The fish is on the other side! I have something to do now, and I can only go back in the evening! If you want to see it, I'll take you there to see it, can you see it? The fisherman swallowed and spat.

"Okay, when are we coming over?" Hong Kun hurriedly asked. Although he was anxious, he was helpless.

"Before midnight!" The old fisherman looked up at the sky.

"Okay! My surname is Hong, what is your surname? Hong Kun nodded.

"Hehe, it's not expensive, the surname is Chang!" The old fisherman laughed.

I originally planned to go to the other side to find an inn, but now I have to stay here. Luckily, there is one not far from the ferry.

In the evening, after eating, Hongkun couldn't wait to come to the ferry. The lights on the fishing boat flickered, and only the two young fishermen were packing up something on the boat. Hong Kun didn't come forward to disturb, he took everyone to sit far away on the riverbank, enjoying the night view, while waiting anxiously.

The hour was near, and the old fisherman appeared on the docks. He staggered, full of wine. Jin Guishan couldn't help but show anger on the ground.

"Hehe, when you're done, you have to ask me to take two sips!" Seeing everyone's expressions, the old fisherman quickly explained embarrassedly.

"The water is cold, you have to drink two sips!" Hong Kun hurriedly got up and eased his cheeks.

"yes, yes, get on board, get on board!" The old fisherman muttered and walked straight to the fishing boat. Hong Kun hurriedly beckoned and led everyone to follow closely.

Approaching the springboard, Han Yu suddenly looked at the turtle and said, "You won't be sleepy again for a while, will you?!" We're all back to the Yuan Great Immortals, in case something happens, you don't have to run away first! ”

"What do you say?" The turtle's neck was stalked, and he looked very angry. Hanyu glared at him without saying a word.

"Don't be sleepy! Not sleepy! Rest assured! The turtle yawned.

As soon as they boarded the fishing boat, the old fisherman guided them into the canopy. Although the front and back are ventilated, it is better than unobstructed.

"It's windy on the water, so let's rest in the tent for a while!" So saying, he walked to the stern of the boat and sat down at the helm. The two young fishermen lifted the anchor and supported the anchor.

The boat sailed on the river, exceptionally smooth, and within a few moments it was in the center. At this moment, the fishing boat suddenly stopped. Hong Kun looked up, and the old fisherman grabbed something from his feet and threw it into the river, only to hear a "poof".

"The boatman... Hong Kun was just about to ask, but there was a "poof" again.

"It's broken!" Hanyu shouted at the same time. Because the turtle is gone.

An apologetic look flashed across the old fisherman's face, and he turned and plunged into the water. The two young ones also jumped away at once.

In an instant, a cloudy wind suddenly rose, and a huge whirlpool appeared around the fishing boat. The fishing boat spun rapidly like dead leaves on the water. Everyone grabbed the canopy wall, and as soon as they stabilized their figures, the huge whirlpool had already sucked the whole boat into the water, and dragged it straight to the bottom.
