On the eighth day of the fifth month, on the old birch mountain in the northeast of Jiudaokou County, there was a person walking on the mountain road with a book, but his eyes and hearing were paying attention to the surroundings.

He was dressed in a gray wide-sleeved robe, with a wooden hairpin in a small bun on his head, bangs in front of his hair draped behind his back, and an umbrella between his back.

In order to prevent getting lost, the speed of travel is not fast or slow in the past few days, and I ask for directions when I have the opportunity, and I also make a stop in various counties and places to appreciate the customs and customs that are difficult to see in my previous life.

This time, I deliberately walked slowly on this old birch mountain, which naturally had a purpose.

Although the old birch mountain is far less extensive than Niukui Mountain, it is not small, there are twenty or thirty miles in a radius, don't underestimate this number, a radius of twenty or thirty miles is equivalent to a radius of more than ten kilometers of circular area, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, for ordinary people who are not old mountain guests, it is already a lot of difficulty to pass the old birch mountain.

And there is a deep pool in this old birch mountain, which was actually mentioned in the foreign biography, and there have been few things written in the foreign biography in the entire Jizhou for many years, and Ji Yuan plans to set aside a day to stay in the deep pool.

What are you doing? Fishing!

There is a saying in the foreign legend: there is an old birch mountain in Jizhou of Dazhen country, there is a secluded pool in the mountain, the upper part is not connected to the river, the lower is not connected to the earth, and the raw fish in the pond is the essence of the water.

Ji Yuan just wanted to see if this fish was the so-called water spirit, or if it was blown by a typhoon tornado, or both.

At this moment, he walked to the corner of a mountain col, Ji Yuan finally found what he was looking for, directly accepted the book, stuffed it into his arms, and then got up and jumped and swept towards the distance with a burst of verdant green.

borrowed strength from a few trees in the mountain forest, and finally landed in front of a bamboo forest.

Look at the bamboos in this bamboo forest, most of them are slender and long, swaying with the mountain wind, which is the ideal fishing rod of Jiyuan.

Take a stick of the right size and length, bend over the luck at its base and gently touch it with two fingers.

"Click~", the bamboo broke in response to the sound and the incision was smooth.

While walking in the mountains, he crackled the branches on the bamboo with a hand knife, and in a few moments, a slender emerald green bamboo pole appeared in Ji Yuan's hand.

Grabbing it and shaking it, he let out a "woohoo... Woohoo...", the sound of breaking the air is very pleasant to listen to.

"Looks good!"

Ji Yuan is very satisfied with the bamboo.

He had bought lines and hooks in his baggage, and he didn't need a buoy.

What made Ji Yuan a little curious was that the fishing line he bought was also a transparent silk line, and it was quite tough, and after asking the seller, he learned that it was actually made by extruding silk pulp, and each fishing line represented one or several poor silkworms that failed to form cocoons......

When Ji Yuan arrived at the position of the deep pool, a brand new emerald green fishing rod was ready, and he did not need additional processing and reinforcement, because once a fish bites, as long as it is not too exaggerated, at that moment, the fishing rod can be directly thrown up with aura.

The deep pool in front of you is round, the diameter is only ten or twenty zhang at most, far smaller than Ji Yuan imagined, look at the pool water, turquoise and turquoise, and the deeper is black and rumbling, there is nothing to see at all, and there is no movement.

"Can there be fish here?"

After muttering, Ji Yuan found a cool and suitable position to cast the rod, the bait was not an earthworm, but a grain of cooked rice, but it was wrapped in a trace of aura.

Thread the bait on the thin hook and swing the rod.

The flexible green bamboo is shaken with force.

"Knock~", the hook was thrown into the pool, causing a small ripple.

Fishing is all about patience, and with today's keen sense, he can immediately feel the slightest special movement of the straight hook under the water, without thinking about being distracted and missing the catch.

So Ji Yuan will also take out a book to read, and this time he is reading "Tongming Strategy".

Although it is also a book of heaven, the content is completely different, and Ji Yuan has also roughly flipped through it before, and I know that Tong Mingce is much more "serious" than the foreign Taoism.

Although it is not a real immortal cultivation method, but it is a point out of the difficulties and dangers on the various cultivation passes, the author of the book should have collected the views of many immortal cultivators and summarized them in combination with their own experience, and the book even included some of the content of the Shinto and the genus of the demons.

In the words of Ji Yuan's previous life, it is a book that can truly benefit immortal cultivators.

Ji Yuan's point of view is that there are too many assumptions and speculations by the authors, and the proportion of dry goods is relatively small in terms of the content of the book, and those who can read the Tianzheng book do not know the content, so it has become a "miscellaneous book."

But Ji Yuan is different, although the content is much more boring than that of the outer Dao, but it is also useful knowledge, but theoretically, Ji Yuan can't use this knowledge for the time being, because he doesn't even practice Qi Determination.

"Practicing qi and turning into gods, gods appearing and giving birth to the law, is for both mana and spiritual power...... The so-called entrance is dispensable or crucial......"

'Hey...... There's still a long way to go!'

Reading a book while fishing, so waited, and went directly to an hour, and there was not even a little movement on the side of Ji Yuan's fishing rod, so he couldn't help but lift the fishing rod to take a look, and found that the rice grains were still there.

Or is it that the fish has become extinct over the years?'

He looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky.

'Is it possible to make it night?'

Ji Yuan is not impatient, perhaps it is from the original mountain temple that he has a good qi cultivation kung fu.

I took out a piece of dough cake from the bag and slowly gnawed it, this cake was bought in Jiudaokou County, the palms of both hands were so big, there were 5 pieces in the bag, and it was still soft, and the cake was slightly sweet and there were some dried vegetable fillings, which was very good for the taste.

As the sky darkened, the sunset on the horizon had already appeared and the stars were gradually dewing overhead, but Ji Yuan heard a special sound in his ears, not from the deep pool, but from the mountains.

"Hee-hee-hee...... There's a pool of water ahead, and it's finally here! Hurry up, go faster!"

"Oh, you're so energetic, I'm tired!"

The crisp sound came intermittently from a distance, and as the sound approached, a burst of light footsteps also entered Ji Yuan's ears.

A man and a woman, two children dressed in clean light blue silk robes, about thirteen or fourteen years old, climbed over the rocks and jumped over the stream, and walked through the trees to the quietest place in the old birch mountain.

"Oh, there's a guy!"

The girl in one of them was stunned, and her companion seemed to have just seen Ji Yuan in the distance.

"Really, it's getting dark, what is he doing? Fishing?"

"Seems so!hahaha... He thought he could catch it!"

"Let's go, it's so rare, let's tease him!"

"Hee-hee!"

The two of them slowed down from a distance, quietly approaching the position of the deep pool, as if they wanted to scare Ji Yuan, and at a position about ten meters away, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then opened their mouths with their hands facing forward in a very tacit understanding.

"Hey~~!"

The imaginary picture of the angler throwing the fishing rod in fright did not appear at all, and Ji Yuan was like a deaf man, holding the fishing rod and looking at the book on his lap, and biting a bite of a cake from time to time.

"Not scared?"

"Deaf?"

"Spoiled!" "Hey!"

The two children felt quite bored and walked towards the edge of the deep pool, and at this moment, Ji Yuan's neutral voice suddenly sounded.

"Isn't it fun?"

The two people who were marching coldly trembled with fright.

"You're not deaf?"

"How can you still scare us?"

The two children, a man and a woman, seemed to be a little angry, and Ji Yuan turned his head and smiled.

"It's so rare!"

The two children froze for a moment, and looked at each other with a slightly stunned expression.
