Chapter 5 Lying Carp in the River Peach wood by the bridge
Hu Yunru's face was red, and she couldn't help lowering her head and whispering, "Yes..."
"What fish did you catch? It was clearly the silver Arowana that jumped up by itself, we happened to be here by chance, and when we met, you turned your head and said it was yours. Steward Chen turned over, his body was wet, his hair was scattered and fell down, sticking to his forehead, he pointed to Chen Jingdao, "Those who see it have a share, there are four people here, one person and one tail." When he said this, he obviously ignored Chen Sanniang.
Chen Jingzhi looked at it seriously, his eyes were playful, and he laughed loudly, "I'm going to catch the fish and eat it, if you want to come and share it, you can also share it, but..."
"But what?" Steward Chen ignored Hu Yunru at all, and immediately stretched his neck and asked.
"Let's go to the pit and wait. ”
Chen Jingzhi laughed a few times, took pictures of his clothes in the air, lifted a few silver arowana, and pulled Chen Sanniang to leave.
Steward Chen's face turned pale, and he said angrily, "You dare to tease me, do you know who my master is?"
"Shut up. "Hu Yunru is not an unreasonable person, it is really too rare for the silver dragon, if his master gets the silver dragon fish bead, his martial arts can go further, and he must not let it go.
She clenched her red and swollen fist slightly, and said to Ying Ying, "Childe just wants to take it back to cook, and it is also a tyrannical thing, it is better to sell it to the little woman, I can buy it at a high price, and ask Childe to fulfill it." ”
Chen Jingzhi glanced at her and grinned, "It's not impossible to sell it to you, as long as he kowtows to me and admits his mistake." As he spoke, he pointed at Steward Chen, pouted and smiled, "Girl, what do you think?"
"What is your identity, dare me kowtow. Steward Chen angrily pointed at Chen Jing and scolded, and he was about to burst out, but remembering that this person seemed to have quite high martial arts, he couldn't help but retreat.
Hu Yunru frowned lightly and shouted, "Steward Chen, kowtow, don't spoil this girl's big thing." ”
"Girl, you—" Steward Chen's neck stiffened, incredulous.
Chen Jingzhi shook his head and mocked softly, "Since you are not sincere, then forget it, and the fish will die later." ”
Steward Chen saw a sharp gaze coming, and saw that Chen Jingzhi really lifted his feet and left, so he had to kneel down very reluctantly, kowtow and gritted his teeth, and said, "Offended, I hope Gongzi will forgive me." ”
Chen Jingzhi wanted to tease again, but since the words had already been spoken, it was not easy to regret it, and then asked casually, "Dare to ask the girl how to buy my fish." ”
"This fish is a tael of silver and a tail, you give it all to us. Steward Chen felt aggrieved in his heart, feeling that this person was a countryman and must not know about it, so he shouted in front of Hu Yunru.
"How can you ignore my business?" Hu Yunru was very displeased, but she didn't know exactly how to sell this silver dragon, she just knew about it, but she thought that the price should be quite high, and it was also a loss of identity to talk about money, so she hesitated for a moment and said, "How about twenty taels of silver?"
Nowadays, a family of three, three taels of silver can have food and clothing for a year, and she is the daughter of the house, and the monthly routine is only three taels, and she thinks that twenty taels is extremely high.
Steward Chen was very dissatisfied when he heard Twenty Taels, but he also made a lot of money, and the key to the silver dragon was not the price, but its medicinal effect.
"Okay, take it. Chen Jingzhi divided the three-tailed silver dragon and went out, lifted one by himself, and squinted his eyes and said, "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." After speaking, he looked at Hu Yunru and saw that her face seemed to be even redder, and she lowered her head.
"Childe, I only have thirty taels of silver tickets in my hand, and ten taels of broken silver, can I make up for it in the future?" Hu Yunru said this, her voice became lower and lower, where would anyone bring out such a lot of silver, she could bring forty taels when she came out, and the old mother was not worried about her when she came out, and saw that she spent money like water, so she gave more.
"Why not?" Chen Jingzhi was very straightforward, pointing to Liu's residence, "Come here to find me when you have all the funds." ”
After speaking, he pulled Chen Sanniang and left quickly. Steward Chen saw that there was still a tail, where he was willing to let go, he was going to chase after him, Hu Yunru scolded, "Go and fetch water, the silver dragon is dead, you will get out of the door." ”
Steward Chen didn't dare to chase after him anymore, and immediately went to find a way to find a wooden barrel. Hu Yunru looked at the two of them going away, a little stunned, there was a pain in her hand, and she couldn't help but let out a soft snort.
"Girl, your hand. Xiaohong screamed, but she glared at her and immediately stopped talking.
"How can there be such a master here?" Hu Yunru reluctantly walked towards the ox cart on the bridge, full of doubts in her heart.
Chen Jingzhi's body is strong, even though he is not afraid of the cold, his internal strength is vigorous, and the water vapor is dispersed. When she returned to Hongxin's house, Hongxian was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth when she heard that she had won forty taels of silver, and what surprised her even more was that Chen Jingzhi gave her half directly. The red line was hurriedly postponed, and he refused to ask for it no matter what, but Chen Jingzhi's determination could not be changed.
Unable to do so, Red Line happily picked up the silver Arowana and immediately went to the kitchen to cook a pot of fish soup.
Chen Jingzhi returned to Liu's house, and there was only one man in the red line, which was also inconvenient. At this time, he held a thumb-sized golden bead in his hand, which was crystal clear inside. Seeing this, with a slight smile on his face, he saw the vortex in the turtle dragon lake, and the rotation law was very obvious, so he grabbed the gap and swam against the vortex, and caught four silverfish up. This seems ordinary, but in fact it is very dangerous, once you are caught in the vortex undercurrent, your life is in danger.
"Sure enough, it's a jewel full of inspiration. "This thing should be similar to the shell beads of Donghua Road, both contain spiritual energy and can help people practice, but the inner spiritual energy is even more pure and gentle. And this fish bead is the fullest of the four whitebaites, far better than the other three. He gently shook the fish bead open, and the wings of his nose moved slightly, and a breath of clear spirit qi floated into his nose. He suddenly felt that his qi had risen up, and his physical body had been nourished a lot.
After a while, he stopped his movements, and realized that this spiritual opportunity was more peaceful and suitable for cultivation. But it also gave him a warning, the more so, the more powerful the cultivators in this heaven and earth were, and they must be extremely cautious. Now what he wants to do is how to gain a foothold here, gain an identity, and then secretly search for the relics of his ancestors.
He decided to take the opportunity to walk around the village again, and if he could find a few herbs, he could slow down Liu's pain. It's just that it's impossible to save her, her life is short, and he can't do it even if he cultivates to the Earth Immortal Realm, not to mention that he hasn't reached the Refining Qi Path now.
Chen Sanniang was depressed a little bit in her heart, and took Yun Muyang along the Shiba River to the east of Miaozhu Village, along the way are green Miaozhu, occasionally see a few pines and cypresses, and there are shrines and incense burners under them.
"Brother, that's the Bogong Temple. Chen Sanniang drank the fish soup, her whole body was warm, and her spirit was a little better, her face looked at a big pine tree on the shore, and a few crows stopped on the branches, croaking.
Chen Jingzhi smiled and touched her little head, Chen Sanniang is young, simple-minded, and will say whatever comes to mind. Walking up the river for several miles, I saw dozens of peach trees, pumping new shoots, and the pink on the branches became thicker, Chen Sanniang turned around and raised her head and shouted, "Brother, this is our peach bridge." ”
After speaking, he ran to the end of the bridge, revealing a mouthful of missing teeth, "That's our ancestral hall." ”
Chen Jingzhi followed the direction she pointed, there is a simple building, on the slope, green cypress, pine and bamboo, here you can see half of the village. After taking a look, he felt that there seemed to be a spiritual object in this ancestral hall, and his heart suddenly became clear, and he said secretly, "It was the ancestral spirit, it seems that the previous guess was good, but there are ancestral spirits in a small place, which is really rare." ”
This is very different from Donghua Dao, the ancestral spirit worship is extremely difficult, and the hearts of the people must be complete, otherwise the ancestral spirit will be quickly annihilated even if it exists. Seeing this, he was even more vigilant in his heart, and he must be more cautious in his actions. These ancestral spirits may not have much mana, but the ancestral spirits can be observed by the ancestral spirits by the people of the bloodline.
He retracted his gaze, Chen Sanniang urged him to go to the bridge, this bridge is only more than three feet, it can be seen that it was originally only a bamboo bridge, and then it was strengthened and repaired several times to have its current scale. He thought of the legend in the village, and looked at the tree roots under the bridge, and sure enough, the bridge was firmly stabilized. At this time, he restrained his divine sense to prevent being sensed by the possible existence in this peach bridge, but it seemed that he was too cautious and did not have the mana to watch him.
Standing on the bridge, looking at the winding river, the water splashes, there are many reefs on both banks, with the undulations of the waves, I see a long stone in the middle of the river that resembles a lying carp, covered with moss, and then covered by the waves, faintly visible. Not far from this big stone, there is a stone well, and the strange thing is that this stone well is covered with algae, and it seems to have been abandoned for a long time.
This kind of situation is very rare, the village is close to the river, but it is still necessary to dig wells to store water, there are not many wells, so there must be a reason for the abandonment.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Chen Sanniang pulled his sleeve, looking at him as if he was distracted.
Chen Jingzhi looked at these big eyes, helped her gently wipe off the eye droppings from the corners of her eyes, and laughed, "I thought I saw a big fish just now, but it turned out to be a stone." ”
"My brother is talking about lying on the carp, and many people think it's a big fish. Chen Sanniang covered her mouth and laughed, "Grandma said that grandpa used to be drunk, thinking that he saw a big fish, and jumped into the river, but it turned out to be a stone." ”
Chen Jingzhi felt quite strange and said with a smile, "Since your grandfather grew up in the village, doesn't he know that it is a stone?" It stands to reason that even if you are drunk, you shouldn't be drunk, this stone should have been here for a long time.
"I'm not lying, my grandmother told me. Chen Sanniang pouted, pulled his sleeve and shook it again and again, looking up and blinking a pair of big watery eyes.
"Well, you're not lying. Chen Jingzhi smiled, although the village is small, there are already many places where the spirit has manifested. He took a look at the village again, and although there were a lot of medicinal herbs, they were all very ordinary, and there was nothing he wanted.
Although this is a small village, only ten miles away from the township, and even the county seat of Yanchuan is twenty or thirty miles, but there is no Langzhong in the village who can see a doctor, and the only way to find Langzhong is to go to the township. When ordinary people were sick, they would take sacrifices to Zhai Po and ask for a talisman, and when they returned home, they burned talisman paper and water to swallow.
