Volume 1 Troubled Boy Chapter 132 The Stygian Fish and Timekeeping
"Come to the bridge......" The voice came again, and it was very magnetic and pleasant to listen to in Luo Bei's ears, and it couldn't help but make people feel that it was easy to get close.
Luo Bei subconsciously has a cautious and cautious mood, because this is too weird, the environment is extremely quiet after waking up, and he has never seen anyone after walking for a long time, even birds and beasts, and suddenly seeing an angler on an arch bridge should be a good thing, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand that there must be something strange when the silence is extremely vivid.
Luo Bei calmed down, and saw that the person on the bridge seemed to be waving to him, and took a deep breath, anyway, he couldn't avoid the disaster, and he finally saw a living person, so he should go over and ask what kind of place this is.
So, without thinking about it anymore, Luo Bei stepped lightly onto the bridge deck, and when he got closer, he found that the man was sitting on a strange wooden car, which seemed to be familiar.
Yes, it was Feng Ziqing who I saw in Wanfu at the beginning, because of his disabled legs and sitting on a wooden cart similar to this all the year round, but then I heard that Feng Ziqing actually had no problem with his legs, as for why he pretended to be disabled, some people speculated that it was related to his wife, of course, rumors have always been indispensable to scarlet things.
The man was wearing a milky white brocade robe, and he looked like a handsome boy on his back, but for some reason he was alone here, not to mention a handsome boy with disabled legs.
Luo went north to the arched bridge, and saw the handsome boy holding a fishing rod in his hand, throwing the fishing line into the river.
After Gongzi threw the fishing rod into the river, he turned his head to look at Luobei and smiled lightly, Luobei saw the appearance of this person clearly, he was actually a beautiful man with long eyebrows and clear eyes, clear and jade, a rare face that was neither fat nor thin had a pair of eyes with a smile all the time, and a mole with Yin Hong at the center of his eyebrows was extremely conspicuous, no matter where he looked at it, he was a beautiful man who was not born.
He wore a headband on his head and a sparkling jade on his forehead.
The moment Luo Bei saw this person, for some reason it seemed like he had seen it somewhere, but he had no memory at all.
The man sat in the car, looked sideways at Luobei, smiled with crooked eyes, and beckoned to him again.
"Don't look at it, don't you think that a person like me shouldn't be a cripple?hehe, my feet have been useless many years ago......" The man said plainly about what Luo Bei was thinking about in his heart, as if he was not talking about his own flaws, and his tone was natural, without any negative emotions.
"I ...... Right...... I'm sorry......" Luo Bei was told the central thing by him, and his mouth was a little unnatural.
The man also seemed to hear Luo Bei's panic, and laughed softly.
"You don't have to be nervous, since you are a cripple, this is the truth, and the truth should not be afraid of people to say and think of people...... It's all human nature!"
Although he didn't mind his physical disability in his tone, he still sighed and said, "Hey, I can't imagine that I haven't seen anyone for so many years, and I can't imagine that I will be a ......teenager for so many years."
Luo Bei thought that he had disturbed the other party, so he apologized: "Senior...... I have no intention of disturbing ......"
The man hurriedly waved his hand and laughed: "What's the bother, I still wish someone would come and talk to me, tell me about the new things outside, you must know that this place is really lonely!"
When Luo Bei heard this, the suspicion in his heart became even heavier, and when he saw that the man's tone was calm and kind, he opened his mouth and asked, "Senior, what kind of place is this?"
The man smiled and asked, "You don't know where it is, so do you remember how you got in?"
Luo Bei was stunned, and said truthfully: "It was a senior Dao Elder who wanted to save him in the next line."
Man, in the midst of the crisis, seems to have used some magical spell, and only sees a dazzling light in the boundless ink, and then he faints, and wakes up in the grass!"
The man listened carefully to him about the situation, nodded his head for a while, shook his head for a while, and sighed when he finished speaking: "Hey, that child's heart has not changed at all, but this brain is still as stupid as before......"
When Luo Bei heard this, he thought to himself that the head of Kuzhu Dao was sixty or seventy years old, could it be that what this person said was not the same person as what he said.
At this time, the man continued: "If it is not appropriate to ask about a place here, it should be said that it is not the same place as you usually speak, it has a name, it is called congenital mustard seed, or mystic mustard seed......
"I think you've seen that black jade chessboard, right?
Luo Beihe had heard such a miraculous thing, and the name "Misty Mustard Seed" alone was extremely strange, so his eyes were full of doubts.
In the eyes of that person, these expressions seemed to be like a big letter written on a blank piece of paper, which could not be more obvious, so he smiled again: "It's normal to not understand at your age, not to mention that these things are too long ago, presumably most people in future generations don't know!"
The words he said not only couldn't make Luo Bei's doubts relieved, but they were even more obsessed.
At this time, there was a flutter in the water, and the fishing rod in the man's hand trembled non-stop, and the man stopped laughing with Luo Bei, and quickly reached out and threw the fishing rod out of the water.
I saw that in his hand was a very thin fishing rod, with a silk thread like hair, but he couldn't see what was loaded as bait, and the fish that pulled out of the water and bit the bait was about the size of a palm.
Luo Bei couldn't help but be startled when he saw the fish, it was blue and black, with black scales on its body, fins like steel needles on its back and abdomen, and many barbs on it.
The man stretched out his hand and took the fish down and put it into the fish basket that had been prepared, Luo Bei could hardly imagine that the man was not afraid of the iron-like barbs of this scale fish, and directly grabbed the fish's body with his hands.
The fish fell into the fish basket and still struggled, Luo Bei leaned over and saw that one of its mouths, which seemed to be bigger than his body, showed two rows of extremely sharp teeth, biting the rope on the fish basket, as if he refused to admit defeat even if he was caught.
Luobei has never seen such a fierce fish in his life, and it is said that the more fierce this fish is, the more delicious it is, I don't know if this is true or false, but I am afraid that it is not easy for most people to catch and eat such a fierce fish.
The man took the fish, put on the bait, flicked the rod, and fell into the water again.
Then he turned back to Luo Bei and explained: "This fish is called the Stygian Fish, it is extremely rare in the world, but there are some blue water and cold pools that have not seen the time all year round, and some can still be found, don't look at this fish is fierce and abnormal, if you can catch it and eat it, it is a rare delicacy in the world......
"But you can also see that it is too fierce, and it is very smart, and ordinary people naturally have the heart to eat it but not the power to eat it......"
At this time, the fishing line in the water trembled again, and the man didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately took the fishing rod out of the water.
It's just that this time it took a lot less time than catching the previous one.
And then there's the third, the fourth...... Articles 8 and 9...... Until the end of Article 13.
The man put the rod away and didn't throw it into the water again, this time it seemed to be completely put away.
While packing up the fishing rod and line, he said to Luo Bei: "This dark fish is extremely smart, so it is not tolerated to catch it
Easy ......"
As he spoke, he picked up the basket containing the fish and poured it all back into the river.
Luo Beida was puzzled, so he asked: "Senior, this dark fish is extremely difficult to catch, I don't know why the predecessor caught it and released it back?"
The man was not in a hurry, he seemed to have thought that Luobei would ask this question, and explained unhurriedly: "Because I don't catch them for food, but for time!"
As soon as he said this, Luo Bei didn't understand the true meaning anymore.
"Let me ask you first, have you ever felt hungry or thirsty since you woke up?"
Luo Bei thought about it carefully, and indeed he had never felt these feelings, so he shook his head.
The man smiled leisurely and said: "Then there is no problem, since there will be no hunger and thirst, then there is no need to eat to wrap your stomach and drink water to quench your thirst, this is human nature, I think you also understand......"
"Furthermore, you may be even more puzzled as to why the fishing of the Stygian Fish can be used for timekeeping, and you may even ask me that the first time of fishing for this Stygian Fish seems to be extremely long, and then it becomes shorter and shorter, and I have just said that this Stygian Fish is extremely clever and difficult to take the bait, but it seems that it is easy to catch ......."
"This is because when you first come here, all your senses have undergone some subtle changes, that is to say, you have not fully adapted to this place for the time being, because many things here are really very different from the outside world, for example, why you are hungry and thirsty, not that the world here is nothing, but because of this ...... It's a wonderful space, so your heart beats and all your physical activity becomes extremely slow, so you don't need to replenish yourself with food as often as you used to!"
"If you can accept this truth, you can understand why it seems that the time is different, and it can be used to record the time, it is because I have the same fishing time every time, but your perception is different, so I caught thirteen stygian fish, and there was exactly twelve hours in between, and the time for each stygian fish to be hooked was one hour!"
"So I'll put the thirteenth fish back into the river after catching it, but it's just a way to pass the time......"
Although Luo Bei understood some of them, it seemed extremely difficult to understand them all, mainly because the contrast between the things that the man said was too great and the things he usually came into contact with, and it was really not easy to fully understand them for a while, but Luo Bei admired the man from the bottom of his heart, and he could actually think of these things that are difficult for the world to understand, I don't know what this person has learned, and what he has experienced?
The man looked at Luo Bei, everything was not strange, and said: "Actually, if you live here for as long as I do, you will definitely understand a lot of things that you can't usually understand, after all, most people have too little time to really think about in their lives......"
He had been smiling all the time, and he smiled very kindly, and then he said: "I said that young man, if you can believe me, then push me home, and I will try my best to answer the doubts in your heart for you......"
"But you have to promise me to tell me what you know about what is happening outside, and it will be a transaction between you and me, equal and reciprocal, and there is no deception ...... children."
As he spoke, he made a big smile on his eyebrows, like a child.
Luo Bei feels that he is always at ease when talking and laughing with men, he will answer for you when you can't speak, and he is knowledgeable, extremely intelligent, and his words are relaxed and humorous, even if it is teasing, it will not embarrass you.
Luo Bei nodded and said, "Then thank you seniors......
