Volume 1 A Hundred Years of Luck in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 191 The Fisherman's Skills

"I see!"

Wang Ergou quickly figured it out, and his face was a little excited.

"What do you understand?" Liu Fengliu had an expression that you would soon explain to me.

But Meng Li and Wang Ergou ignored him.

Wang Ergou looked at Meng Li, from head to toe, and muttered, "Although we are not afraid of causing trouble, I think you had better disguise yourself." ”

"Don't worry, I'm prepared. ”

Meng Li took out a black cloth that had been prepared long ago from his arms, poked two holes, and then put it on his face, which just exposed his eyes.

"That's what you're prepared for?"

Looking at Meng Li, who only showed a pair of eyes, Wang Ergou was speechless.

Meng Li smiled and said: "Simple and convenient, a must-have choice for robbing houses!"

Liu Fengliu leaned over and said, "Boss Meng, give me the whole one!"

"Fuck off, I don't have a chance for you to play. ”

"How can this be!"

Looking blankly at Meng Li's extremely joyful mask, Liu Fengliu was extremely regretful.

After moving his muscles and bones, Meng Li still felt very good in all aspects, except for the mask that was a little stuffy, everything was so perfect.

Meng Li, who sensed the obstruction of breathing, poked two more holes in his nostrils.

Then he took a sword from Wang Ergou's hand and walked towards the Dragon King Teahouse.

"Brother Yuan, I didn't expect that Bai Ye would appear this time, allowing that Meng Li to escape. ”

"It's okay, just wait for Brother Yan to find another opportunity to make a move. ”

"Do you want to make a move, with all due respect, this Meng Li is very deeply involved, and it's not easy to deal with!"

"Brother Yan doesn't like my new store in Xicheng very much? I said hello to my father and decided to give the store to you. ”

"Oh, how embarrassing is this! Brother Yuan, don't worry, that Meng Li, I will definitely not spare him. ”

"Brother Yan, remember, this matter has nothing to do with my Yuan family. ”

"As it should be, as it should be. ”

In the teahouse, Yuan Yuting and Yan Dilong talked in a low voice. At that moment, a man suddenly rushed in through the window.

Black cloth masking, four holes on one side, what kind of makeup is this?

When they saw the masked man, everyone was shocked!

"There are assassins!"

I don't know who in the crowd shouted!

Meng Li secretly said, "Good shout", pulled out an iron sword prepared in advance, and shouted: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished and killed!"

Yan Dilong's eyes widened, and he secretly said that he had found the wrong person!

The next moment, seeing the masked man heading straight for Yuan Yuting, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Sure enough, I found the wrong person!

But...... That's not right......

"Protect Yuan Gongzi!"

Yan Dilong, who reacted suddenly, roared, but it was too late.

Meng Li replaced the sword with a sword, and a sword was slapped directly on Yuan Yuting's face.

Poor Yuan Yuting, who only had five forging cultivations, couldn't resist Meng Lizhen's sword at all, and before he could react, he was stunned to the ground.

Before fainting, there was only one thought in my heart:

What's going on?

A quarter of an hour later, after leaving a wail, Meng Li, who was masked in a black cloth, walked out of the teahouse refreshed.

"Xiao'er, dare to provoke me, this time is a lesson, and next time I will see if I will spare you!"

Seeing Meng Li walking out of the teahouse, Wang Ergou and Liu Fengliu ran over with their faces covered, and said in unison: "How is it?"

Meng Li sneered: "It's just such a bunch of ruffians, vulnerable, and before I could use my strength, they had already fallen." ”

"It's worthy of Boss Meng, bullish!" Liu Fengliu stretched out a pair of thumbs and looked admiring.

Wang Ergou followed the crack in the door, glanced into the teahouse, and shivered when he saw the wailing all over the place.

Yan Dilong was lying on the ground, looking loveless.

In his mind, there were all images of the man in black exerting his might, and in just a quarter of an hour, he was like walking into hell, and the whole person was desperate.

Song Shu, who was as thin as dry wood, used his hands and feet at the same time, crawled over from the side with difficulty, panting and whispering: "Boss Yan, we have offended someone, this is too ruthless, none of the brothers can stand up." ”

Song Shu wanted to cry without tears, just a moment ago, he was beaten three times, until the other party saw him fall, and he didn't let him go.

If I knew it, I would have pretended to be dead!

Yan Dilong said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, help me up, I want to see Yuan Gongzi." ”

Without waiting for Song Shu to make a move, Yuan Yuting's weak voice came.

"Brother Yan, don't worry, I'm fine. ”

Thank God!

Yan Dilong secretly called for luck, if Yuan Yuting really had an accident here, even if he took his life, he couldn't afford to give an explanation.

endured severe pain and crawled to Yuan Yuting's side, and the two brothers and sisters supported each other to stand up.

Yan Dilong said: "Brother Yuan, you have a lot of knowledge, and you can see the number of that person's paths. ”

Yuan Yuting scolded secretly, I can see that it's strange, he was the first to faint just now, and he didn't even see the fart.

"Could it be Meng Li?"

Yuan Yuting can only guess.

"Meng Li?" Yan Dilong suddenly felt a chill.

He had just come back from Meng Li, and before his ass was hot, he was beaten to the door, if it was really Meng Li, then this person's sense of revenge was too strong.

How to mess with?

Song Shu, who was lying quietly on the side, said weakly: "That person seems to be an iron sword?"

For some reason, Yan Dilong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He turned his head to look at Yuan Yuting.

"Brother Yuan, I remember that Meng Li made a wooden knife. ”

"That's right, I was negligent. ”

The two looked at each other, and they couldn't help but have another wave of doubts in their hearts.

If it weren't for Meng Li, then who would this masked man be?

Teaching the Earth Dragon Gang is just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

The three of them went home, and when they left Xijingfang, Wang Ergou suddenly remembered something.

"How did I forget about it. ”

Wang Ergou slapped his head with a look of annoyance.

Meng Li was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Wang Ergou said: "Do you remember the list you gave me?" ”

"You mean you have found all the ingredients for the Xingqi Pill?"

Wang Ergou smiled bitterly: "There are a total of three spiritual goods markets in Beicheng District, I ran all over yesterday, and those ingredients have basically been found, except for the lack of a taste of spiritual fish grass." ”

Spirit Fish Grass is an extremely important kind of Spirit Grass in the Xingqi Pill, and it is irreplaceable.

However, this spirit fish grass is also an extremely common thing, and it should not be impossible to buy.

"Could it be that someone is hoarding?"

Wang Ergou shook his head and said: "You think too much, although frying spiritual things is a very profitable business, but the spirit fish grass is a common spirit thing, but no one will think about it, some time ago, there was a fish disaster in the Huaichuan River basin near Jieshui City, and a group of fish spirit beasts came out of nowhere to eat up the nearby spirit fish grass. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Meng Li was also dumbfounded.

His luck is really not good!

"If you want to buy spiritual objects, why don't you go to the Treasure Pavilion?" Liu Fengliu couldn't help but interject when he heard their conversation.

"Treasure Hunting Pavilion?" Meng Li looked at Liu Fengliu. The latter explained: "The Treasure Seeking Pavilion specializes in the business of martial artists, and it is also the most complete spiritual object shop in Jieshui City, which is much stronger than those spiritual goods market. ”

Meng Li looked at Wang Ergou, who nodded and said, "This is exactly what I want to say, and the Treasure Seeking Pavilion is in Xijingfang." ”

Meng Li immediately said, "Without further ado, we will go to the Treasure Pavilion now." ”

There are a total of three well-known shops in Jieshui City, Yuan's Iron Shop in Dongmingfang, Bai Canteen in Nanjing Fang, and Treasure Hunting Pavilion in Xijingfang.

The Treasure Hunting Pavilion in Xijingfang is full of strange things, dealing in all kinds of goods, but the most important thing is spiritual objects and hundred stones.

Located in the middle of the West Quiet Place, the Treasure Hunt Pavilion doesn't look big, but it has a winding path.

When Meng Li walked into this city-famous store, he was immediately stunned by the situation inside the store.

What shocked him was not the contents of the storefront, but the people inside.

How did he end up here?

Meng Li looked at the snake boy who was sorting out the goods on the other side of the counter, and was speechless for a long time.

Snake Zhengning put down the jade ornament in his hand, and said with a smile: "Meng Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, so I don't remember Snake?"

"Why are you here?"

Although Meng Li knew that this question was ridiculous, he couldn't help but ask.

Because he's so curious.

The snake Zhengning spread his hands and said, "This is my shop, why can't I come?"

"Your shop?"

"To be precise, the Treasure Hunt is one of the industries of the Snake Nest. ”

Snake Nest!

Hearing this meaningful name, Meng Li's brows furrowed.

Snake Zhengning Youzai said: "Meng Gongzi came to my treasure pavilion, there must be something to buy, the last time you and I cooperated happily, this time it will definitely be able to get his wish." ”

Meng Li smiled bitterly: "The snake boy is worthy of being a master of doing business!"

If even he can't do business, who else in this world can do business?

Snake Zhengning knew what he was worried about, and said with a smile: "Meng Gongzi doesn't have to worry, although I like to sit on the ground and start the price, the things in my store are clearly priced." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the shelf, "I don't believe you." ”

Meng Lishun raised his eyes and saw that there was a string of numbers written on each item, and it was indeed clearly marked with a price.

Snake Zhengning said proudly: "What's the matter, I'm Snake Zhengning doing business, and I've always been a child." ”

Meng left the door and said, "Do you have the Spirit Fish Grass here?"

"You've come to the right place. The snake Zhengning said proudly: "The Huaichuan River is flooded with spirit fish, and a new batch of spirit fish grass will only grow in three months. ”

"What price?"

The snake is holding out two fingers.

"Two taels of silver for a plant?" Meng Li asked.

The snake shook his head: "Twenty taels!"

Wang Ergou glared at him and shouted, "Twenty taels of silver a plant?

Although the spirit fish grass is a spiritual thing, it belongs to the kind of spiritual thing that grabs a lot of it, and the price is not expensive, and when it is the most expensive, it is only one or two silver.

The snake was condensing and said, "Now the spirit fish grass is in short supply, and there is no market for it. You can go and inquire, the price is already very fair. ”

Meng Li's face was ugly.

There are many recipes on the zero recipe, among which there are really many to restore aura, and the reason why he chose Xingqi Pill is simply because of the low cost.

Now that the price of Lingyu grass has soared, it is not as happy as changing the prescription.

Just as Meng Li was thinking about changing the recipe, Snake Zhengning suddenly said, "If you can't accept this price, I have a message here, maybe I can help you." ”

"What's the news?" Meng Li hurriedly asked.

Xingqi Dan's formula, after all, he studied it for a night, and if he gave up like this, he was really unwilling.

Snake Zhengning smiled: "You should know that our snake nest is in the business of buying and selling intelligence. ”

"Tell me, how much money do you want?"

"Not much, one hundred taels is enough!" Snake Zheng paused and said, "If you're lucky, you can get hundreds of Spirit Fish Grass." ”

Meng Li hooked his finger back, and said happily: "Brother Wang, give money!"

One hundred taels is just the silver of five spirit fish grasses, but it is possible to exchange for a large number of them, and Meng Li will still calculate this account.

Wang Ergou took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and slapped it on the counter.

The snake was condensing and putting away the silver ticket, looking at Wang Ergou with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"Where is this brother?"

Wang Ergou said: "I'm just a miscellaneous person. ”

Miscellaneous?

The snake was even more puzzled, and from the other party, he felt an unusually familiar aura, which was the breath of the same kind.

Meng Li urged: "Snake boy, the silver ticket has been given to you, now you can say it!"

"Okay!" Snake Zhengning sighed lightly, "Five kilometers east of Jieshui City, there is a tributary of the Huaichuan River, and on the riverbed of this tributary, a large amount of Spirit Fish Grass grows. When the spirit fish crossed the border, the spirit fish grass here was devoured clean, and there was only one undercurrent, because it was difficult to enter, and some spirit fish grass was still preserved. ”

Meng Li said solemnly: "You mean, as long as I can pass through the undercurrent, I can find the Spirit Fish Grass." ”

Snake Zhengning nodded and said, "That's right." But the difficulty of this matter is beyond imagination. First of all, you must have excellent diving skills, and secondly, you must have enough life-saving ability, because there are still many spirit fish left in the undercurrent. ”

"Thanks for the pointers. ”

The snake was condensing a keen sense of smell, which made Meng Li feel pressured, and after getting the news of the Spirit Fish Grass, he left immediately.

For Meng Li, this news is indeed an opportunity.

After all, he grew up in Mengjia Village since he was a child, and followed the fish king Meng Jiangxi to fish for two years, and he was able to do underwater kung fu with ease, not to mention that he was also a seven-forging martial artist, and those spirit fish could be dealt with.

After returning home, Meng Li began to plan, if he wanted to collect spiritual grass from the river, he first needed a boat.

Knowing Meng Li's needs, Liu Dashao volunteered and threatened that he could help solve the ship's problem.

The Liu family is business-oriented, and involves a variety of industries, including the ferry business.

After resting at home for a day, the three of them went directly to the Huaichuan tributary outside the east city early the next morning.

The mighty rivers are endless.

The majesty of Huaichuan, Meng Liyi has seen it more than once, but every time he sees it, he can't help but feel agitated.

The three of them galloped along the riverbank all the way upstream, and after a while, they saw the ferry port built by Jieshui City.

The ferry outside the east city is not as good as the north city, it is just a small ferry port.

There were two or three small boats, lined up crookedly on the shore.

Liu Fengliu took Meng and Wang to a small boat with the mark of the Liu family, and shouted at the boat: "Old Zhangtou, it's time for business." ”

A burly old man with a thick skeleton came out of the cabin with his head down, and when he saw Liu Dashao, he laughed and said: "It's Young Master Liu, why do you have the leisure to come to me today, I have neither a girl nor a fine wine here!"

Liu Fengliu seemed to have a very good relationship with this old man, and after hearing the other party's jokes, he laughed and said, "Don't talk to you old guy today, I have an urgent matter to use your boat." ”

Lao Zhangtou waved his hand and said, "Then you can come up, anyway, the old man, I am idle, so I will take you around." ”

"Gotcha!"

Liu Dashao smiled and took Meng Li and Wang Ergou to board the boat.

Stepping on the boat, I felt the slight ups and downs under my feet, and Meng was nostalgic.

Old Zhang Tou let go of the rope and asked, "Where are you going?"

Liu Fengliu said: "You just send me to the front of the undercurrent!"

"Are you going to the undercurrent?" the old man looked at the three of them, frowning.

He originally thought that these three sons and brothers were just playing by boat, but where did he think that they were playing with their lives.

That undercurrent is also what his little broken boat can go to?

The old man said with a straight face: "I'm sorry for the three, please get off the boat!"

Meng Li and Wang Ergou looked at Liu Dashao with puzzled expressions.

Liu Fengliu's face turned red and said, "What do you mean, old Zhangtou, you deliberately embarrassed me, didn't you?"

"I'm saving your lives!" Lao Zhang's eyebrows were raised, although he was already in his sixtieth year, he was not angry.

This majesty comes from his ability to cruise, and it is the confidence that he has floated out of the river all year round.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing that Lao Zhangtou was really angry, Liu Fengliu suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

This old man is a true god of his Liu family!

Although Jieshui City lives on water, the business on the river is not for everyone, and nine percent of it is in the hands of the Qi family.

After all, the Qi family, who is backed by Huaijiang Pavilion, is the real water overlord of Jieshui City.

I think that at the beginning, the Qi family dominated the waters, and the Liu family was able to get a piece of the pie, relying on Lao Zhangtou's cruise boat skills. This person's ability on the water is also first-class in Jieshui City.

Lao Zhangtou said: "The Huaichuan River is turbulent, and it is even more so in the undercurrent, plus the group of spirit fish that came here not long ago, just my little broken boat, if I am not careful, I will be buried in the river." ”

Liu Fengliu, who admired the old man very much, looked at Meng Li and smiled bitterly: "There's no way, even Lao Zhangtou can't do it, we can't pick this spirit fish grass." ”

"Can't you really go? I don't think so!"

Wang Ergou looked at Meng Li with a playful smile on his face.

In Liu Fengliu's puzzled eyes, Meng left his mouth and said, "Old man, I won't trouble you this time, we will drive this boat ourselves." ”

"Do you drive it yourself?"

Lao Zhang looked at Meng Li and said solemnly: "Young man, don't be rash, your life is more important than anything else." ”

"Old man, look at my hands. ”

The young man spread out his two hands, palms up, and laid them flat in front of the old man.

"What's so nice about your hands?"

Lao Zhangtou didn't care, and after looking down, his expression suddenly froze.

This is......

Meng Li put away his scarred hands and said with a faint smile: "Old man, do you understand now?"

Lao Zhangtou sighed heavily: "The back waves of Huaichuan push the front waves, this boat is handed over to Gongzi, I can rest assured!"

"What's going on?"

Liu Fengliu was dumbfounded by this scene, an old Zhang who thinks very highly of himself, even has a time to bow his head, it's really a long time to see!

He turned his head to look at Wang Ergou and asked, "Brother Wang, what is going on?" Could it be that Boss Meng cast an evil spell on the palm of his hand?"

Liu Dashao, who couldn't figure it out, thought about it left and right, and could only think of this one possibility.

Wang Ergou laughed and said: "You don't know this, our Meng Gongzi, but he grew up in the water, needless to say, the underwater exercises, and the ability to drive a boat is also first-class!"

Meng Li, who sent Lao Zhangtou off the boat, smiled when he heard this: "Brother Wang is serious. ”

Wang Ergou said: "No one knows by the water town, Mengjiang Jiangxi, the fish king of Mengjia Village, has taught a little fish king in less than two years, catching turtles and making up shrimp, no one can match." ”

To talk about this, there is a small allusion.

At the beginning, Meng Li followed Meng Jiangxi to fish, and single-handedly caught a giant turtle larger than an adult, which caused a sensation in the town of Shui Town.

However, when he caught the turtle, he relied not on his own underwater skills, but also on his own martial arts methods.

Liu Fengliu's expression froze, and his eyes looked at Meng Li with more and more admiration.

In addition to drinking and picking up girls on weekdays, his favorite thing is to go out on the boat to hunt fish.

Meng Li smiled, didn't explain, went straight to the rudder, and shook the oars.

His technique is skillful, and his movements are even smoother, giving people an indescribable visual experience.

Connoisseur shot!

Meng Li returned to his old business, and suddenly found a little bit of the feeling of fishing in Mengjia Village, and in a moment he became one with the boat.

A small wooden boat, drifting with the current, slowly drove towards the center of the river.

The turbulent undercurrent lies ahead, clearly distinguishing it from the steady current, forming a river within a river.

The boat, with the waves of the water, went straight to the undercurrent.

Liu Fengliu stared ahead, his hands tightly gripping the side of the ship.

Old Zhangtou's words, he has not forgotten. If this ship doesn't drive well, it will be washed away by the undercurrent!

But the next scene shocked him!

The boat sailed into the undercurrent, and there was no imaginary danger, but like other river basins, the slightest turbulence was not felt.

The boat rises and falls, drifting with the current, rowing inward through the turbulent current radius, as if it is one with the river.

"Are we going into an undercurrent?"

Meng Li replied lightly: "Otherwise?"

"Good, that's amazing!"

Liu Fengliu was staggered, such exquisite sailing skills, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed anything he said.

Wang Ergou said proudly: "That's nature, we live on water in the town of water, most of the people in the village have to deal with Huaichuan every day, if they don't have enough skills, they would have been swallowed up by this turbulence long ago, and can they develop to this day?"

Meng Li waved his hand to interrupt the conversation between the two, and said in a deep voice: "Sit tight, we are going to break out of the undercurrent." ”

When they heard this, they immediately lifted their spirits and looked at the river basin ahead.

Ahead is an area with more complex currents, with torrents colliding and splashing in all directions.

Meng Li's eyes narrowed slightly, staring closely at the waters in front of him, not daring to relax for a moment.

He was waiting, waiting for a suitable moment to rush the ship.

Lao Zhangtou was right, he wanted to use this small wooden boat to cross the undercurrent, which was indeed a bit reluctant.

And the boat rush is their only hope.

In one go, there must be no deviation, otherwise it will be the end of the ship's destruction and death.

For most boatmen, it may have been a gamble, but for Meng Li, it was just a small adventure.

When he was fishing, he had not encountered more dangerous rivers than this, and at that time, he could even laugh and talk with Meng Jiangxi.

Eventually, the intertwined rapids changed, separating a boundary from the middle.

Meng Li's eyes stared at the river, and at this critical moment, he started the boat, headed forward, and rushed away.
