Chapter 46: The Old Man
Hezui Cliff is a cliff that extends from Gongjie Mountain to the Guangji River. Because of its appearance, it looks like a crane with its mouth open and hanging high.
If you want to reach Hezui Cliff from Sifang City, you need to wade through a section of the Guangji River. Because the terrain in this area is high in the south and low in the north, the water flow is turbulent, and the rapidly flowing river water washes on the mountains and rocks, making an earth-shattering roar, like thousands of troops and horses galloping.
On the Guangji River, there are not many people who come here to fish during the day and night, but in the area of Hezui Cliff, there is no one to see. The river is too fast, and the Hezui Cliff is too high.
Chen Mo climbed to the Crane Beak Cliff, and it was he who specially chose this place after observing the rules of the city guards' inspections. The Crane Beak Cliff is too high, and if someone climbs it, it will immediately attract the attention of the patrolling city guards. However, if you find a suitable place to hide in the interval between the patrols of the city guards, it is the safest place.
After waiting for another group of city guards to come over, Chen Mo began to move. He climbed cautiously down the Crane Beak Cliff, with the short blade in his hand.
If you accidentally fall, stick the short blade into the cliff wall, and maybe save your life.
The night breeze blows on the face, and it is summer, but it also brings a chill. After all, it's on the Guangji River.
Chen Mo shuddered, his face solemn. I'm also too hard, I can't help it, for the sake of the spirit stone.
After a pillar of incense, Chen Mo climbed to the bottom of the cliff, and he went out to try the depth of the river. Here, but in the wasteland of the Guangji River, no one has ever visited at all, let alone asked for any useful information.
The water is waist-deep. Chen Mo moved forward slowly, his figure was not tall, and he deliberately lowered it, far away from the Sifang City, he didn't care to observe, and he wouldn't notice that there were people here.
The night was dark and starless, Chen Mo was tantamount to groping in the water, he had only walked less than two steps, and suddenly a strong force was sucked in the water, and he was not allowed to resist at all, and directly dragged him into the water.
If there was light, Chen Mo would inevitably find that he was close to the center of the river. The turbulent flow of water is considered an appearance. The deeper the river went, the deeper the still water flowed, and that majestic impact took Chen Mo and rolled directly in the water.
Lie rub.
Chen Mo cursed in his heart, but he was not flustered. He often swims on the blue star, there is a river outside the prison, and after nearly ten years of crawling and rolling in the river, Chen Mo's water is still good.
He didn't go down the water, because the purpose of this trip was to catch a spirit fish in exchange for spirit stones. Swimming against the current is his only choice.
The best place to place your nets is directly below the protruding position of the Crane Beak Cliff. There is a slope there, and the fish also like challenging tasks. For example, those fish playing in the ditches and ditches in the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River.
The deep water flooded the top of Chen Mo's head, and he stepped out of the water, tilting his head slightly to prevent his mouth from being choked. Step by step, it was moved away again.
After a few tosses, Chen Mo was exhausted, and he was still at the same distance from the stones he had observed before. Is it just a corner away? Chen Mo was not convinced.
If you release the spirit net here, whether you can catch the fish is two words, the key is that once the net enters the water, it will also be washed away.
No, we have to find a way.
Chen Mo had no choice but to retreat slowly. He wants to stagger the current and see if he can give himself a chance when the tide is up. Hard work alone won't work.
In the darkness, there was an additional figure on the Crane Beak Cliff. The man didn't know how he got to the top of the cliff. Compared with Chen Mo, he did a better job, lying directly on the Crane Beak Cliff, motionless, only staring at Chen Mo below.
Chen Mo didn't know that there was someone on the cliff at all, he was still standing in the water, observing the changes in the water flow. When he was sure that the river was going up, he returned to the stone on which he had stood before wading into the water, and flipped his palm to remove the spirit net.
Compared with before, the spirit net has changed a lot. Those big meshes were interspersed several times by Chen Mo with some mundane ropes.
As soon as the net went down, Chen Mo silently recited the magic trick, and the spirit net spread out on the surface of the water and covered the water. In order to prevent accidents, Chen Mo also reinforced two ropes on the spirit net.
There is movement underwater.
Chen Mo was about to put away the spirit net happily, and the two ropes that were tightly clasped in his right palm were pulled, and the ropes were tightened and broken.
This is no small surprise.
Chen Mo didn't care about anything else, he jumped and threw himself to the bottom of the water. He couldn't take care of anything, he lost the spirit net, and he cut off his financial resources, and if he wanted to buy a spirit net with two spirit stones, he could only think about it when he was dreaming.
There was chaos underwater, and it was impossible to see. Fortunately, Chen Mo knew how to take things, and the spirit net had also gone through his sacrifice, so he was somewhat sensitive.
The net was not dragged away.
But he is no longer manipulated by Chen Mo's tricks.
Chen Mo grabbed the corner of the spirit net, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he directly sent him into his storage bag. There are fish jumping in the net, Chen Mo is sure of this.
Chen Mo did not climb the Hezui Cliff again, but moved along the stones below the cliff wall.
Calculate the time, and the next group of city guard patrols will come.
Sure enough, the sound of staggering footsteps neatly reached Chen Mo's ears.
When they are far away, they will be able to return to the city of the four directions.
Chen Mo was thinking about it, Leng Buding's shoulders sank, and a palm was on his shoulder.
Chen Mo was shocked, his face changed, and if he changed someone, it was estimated that his soul would be scared away, but Chen Mo only snorted coldly, "Friend, what does this mean?" ”
"Friends?" That person didn't expect this word to pop out of Chen Mo's mouth, but he felt fresh.
"The old man has been here for a while, you went to the Guangji River to open a net to steal fish, but it is a serious crime," an old voice sounded in Chen Mo's ears.
It turned out that I met black and ate black. It's really unlucky.
"You're not a city guard, eat your own food, is it interesting to that heart?" Chen Mo had already turned around, and there was a figure beside him, at some point.
Without thinking too much, Chen Mo also knew that he was not the opponent of the other party. can hide his own perception, he is so close to himself, if he wants to kill himself, it is still a matter of being caught.
The other party did not kill himself, but chatted with himself, and must have his own demands.
When Chen Mo thought of this, his mind became calmer and calmer.
"Of course it's not fun to eat your own food and someone else's heart," the man knew it was an old man when he heard the voice.
"Tell me, what do you fancy about me?" Chen Mo heard the footsteps of the city guards going away, and he didn't want to grind with the old guy more.
"Well, you have a good heart, you are a seedling, you are a disciple of the outer sect of the Ethereal Pavilion?" The old man asked.
"No, miscellaneous disciple," Chen Mo replied. The old man doesn't seem to be the immortal master of the Ethereal Pavilion, and it seems that even if he doesn't have to worry about his life, this level is not very easy.
