Chapter 18: The Fish Monster I

"Wow, brother, you are really so young!" The young jade bottle couldn't help but exclaim when he saw Tan Shaobai's jade-like appearance, and Yuhua was also a little flustered.

Tan Shaobai smiled slightly and said, "I didn't lie to you. I said, I'm not a bad person! Village chief, there seem to be 100 families in your village, so I'll catch 100 fish and give them to you. After speaking, without waiting for the jade mistletoe to stop him, Tan Shaobai had already floated up and landed directly above the middle of the river, and under the action of mana, he only floated on the surface of the water with the help of the buoyancy of the current. These days of escape have made Tan Shaobai's control over mana much stronger than before, although his mana is not much, but it seems to be endless. Under his deliberate urging, the blood gossip in his hand lit up, Tan Shaobai shouted, and a red light with a diameter of nearly a foot suddenly blasted towards the upstream river. With a bang, a column of water two or three feet high splashed on the surface of the river, and many fresh fish in the river were shocked by the mana of blood gossip and fainted. Tan Shaobai tapped on the surface of the river, rushing towards the water column, his figure flickered like an illusion, and one after another stunned fish were thrown ashore by him, under the stunned gaze of the villagers led by Yu Mistletoe, almost in the blink of an eye, a small pile of fish that were still alive had been piled up on the shore, and the number was much more than a hundred.

The figure flashed, Tan Shaobai fell on the riverbank, looking at his results with satisfaction, and said in his heart, it's good to have mana, the sixth master, it was really a mistake for them not to go down the mountain, and there was a lot less fun in life.

"Hey, what are you doing with it? If you don't catch all the fish quickly, or they won't be fresh if they die." Look at all of you with yellow skin and thin muscles, drink some fish soup to make up for it. In Tan Shaobai's voice, Yu Mistletoe and the others woke up like a dream, and they all had a strange expression on their faces, staring at Tan Shaobai as if they had discovered a new continent, and they saw him awkward for a while.

Tan Shaobai said in his heart, he should leave here quickly. Showing the power of mana, I am afraid that these villagers will regard themselves as immortals. Thinking of this, he just wanted to fly away, but heard a hoarse voice sound, "Who dares to take my caviar fish grandson, is it enough to live?" Tan Shaobai froze, and clearly felt a demonic aura coming from the small river. Looking closely, I saw that the originally turbulent river had stopped flowing, and in the middle of the river, a huge whirlpool gradually formed.

Tan Shaobai smiled bitterly, he wouldn't be so unlucky, just catch a few fish and you can touch monsters. He didn't run, because there were still so many villagers here, and more importantly, the demonic energy from the river was not strong, and it was far from being able to compare with the strength of Mo Kui at the beginning. For the sake of prudence, Tan Shaobai quickly took out the phantom dragon and the star blue ring from the Qiankun ring, and the blue light flashed, and the blue armor was already on his body. He turned back to the villagers and shouted, "Hurry up and take these fish back to the village, there are monsters here." As he spoke, he controlled the phantom dragon to levitate around his body, took out the mysterious little iron rod, and touched the light on the Qiankun ring, and the small iron rod suddenly became two meters long ** egg thickness. After all, Jade Mistletoe is the head of a village, and although he has not seen much of the world, he also knows that this is not the place where he and his villagers should continue to stay. Hurriedly took off his coat, packed the fish with the villagers, and ran towards the village as fast as he could. Although he and the villagers left, they forgot two people, that is, the Yuhua sisters. The two sisters had already been stunned by Tan Shaobai's miraculous performance. At this time, when he saw Tan Shaobai's martial outfit, he couldn't help but show admiration. Although it retreated a bit, it didn't go far.

Tan Shaobai's entire mind was on that vortex, and the blood gossip in his left hand was already full of mana. At this moment, with a bang, a fish-head with a fence-sized bucket came out of the whirlpool, and a pair of red fierce eyes stared at Tan Shaobai fiercely. When it saw Tan Shaobai dressed in a bluffing outfit, it couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and said, "Boy, why did you capture my caviar and fish grandson." Tan Shaobai saw that the voice of the big fish was a little softened, and he was overjoyed, knowing that the cultivation of the monster in front of him was not very profound, he put on a fairy wind and said indifferently: "Fish monster." This is a place where human beings live, and you have been hiding here for a long time, absorbing the essence of human beings, and today is the time when you are dying. As he spoke, with a finger of the small iron rod in his hand, the white phantom dragon suddenly increased in size, turning into a white dragon with teeth and claws, and a body of three meters rushing towards the big fish. The huge feeling of oppression suddenly parted the river, revealing the stout body of the strange fish. Urged by the sense of oppression, the strange fish suddenly became frightened, and begged loudly: "Immortal spare your life, Immortal spare your life!" The white phantom dragon circled in the air, floating above the big fish's head and did not attack. Tan Shaobai said majestically: "Do you have anything else to say? I am a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, and I am passing through here today, just to eliminate the harm for the people here." Although what he said was good, his body was already trembling slightly, the use of the phantom dragon was extremely mana-consuming, even if it was a person who cultivated the truth in the womb stage, it was difficult to use it smoothly, Tan Shaobai's consumption at this time was close to the limit, if it weren't for the constant stream of fairy spirit qi from the heart guard on his chest, he would have been unable to hold on for a long time.

The strange fish mourned: "Shangxian Mingjian, the small one is just an ordinary fish, he has been practicing for a hundred years again, and he has just become a fine person not long ago and can speak out, I completely rely on my own cultivation and absorb the aura in the water to cultivate today, and I really didn't hurt the people here! It's not easy to have such an achievement after a hundred years of small penance!"

The expression on Tan Shaobai's face softened a little, he barely controlled his legs, so as not to make the shape of the chaff too large, and with a wave of his hand, he withdrew the phantom dragon, he really couldn't hold on. The little iron rod slammed into the ground, making a bang, and with the power of the iron rod, he supported his body and said to the fish monster: "Okay, see that you are indeed not full of demonic energy, I will spare your life today." However, if you let me know that you dare to endanger the world, watch out for your fish head. Life in the village here is hard. From today onwards, you will be sending hundreds of fresh fish ashore every other day, even if you take care of the village. ”

The fish monster frowned slightly, and said, "Immortals, aren't you cultivators the most taboo about killing?" Although there are many of my caviar fish grandchildren, they are ......."

Tan Shaobai snorted and said, "It's nothing good." Although I don't want to kill, I can't watch the villagers starve to death. Do as I say, and I will bear all the sins alone. ”

The strange fish looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring Tan Shaobai, for the sake of his own name, he had to nod helplessly, and said, "I respect the instructions of the immortals." ”

Tan Shaobai snorted with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you can go." In the future, cultivate well, as long as you don't influence the human race and don't participate in the evil demon sect, one day, you will be able to attain the Great Dao. The strange fish was bluffed by Tan Shaobai, and when he heard that he was willing to let himself go, he hurriedly thanked him, and quickly plunged into the water and disappeared. Tan Shaobai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since the mixture of several abnormal mana in his body, he felt the danger of scarcity for the first time, when he used the phantom dragon just now, he obviously felt that the energy extracted by the phantom dragon was much faster than the energy he cycled out. He didn't know if the phantom dragon could beat this strange fish, with his current mana, he would only have the power of one blow at most, and once he failed, he could only let the mermaid flesh. In fact, the fish spirit was afraid that he was justified, the monster who had just cultivated into a spirit was just like a cultivator who had just started, and that fish spirit did not have any magic weapons, even if Tan Shaobai used blood gossip, it was not something it could deal with. It's just that Tan Shaobai is used to seeing powerful people, and he will inevitably be nervous when he encounters it, so he made it like this. Now, whether it is Tan Shaobai or the fish spirit that plunged into the deep water, they are secretly happy in their hearts. Under Tan Shaobai's deliberate urging, the mana in his body circulated rapidly, and a trace of mana was restored, and his spirit suddenly improved a lot. He let out a long breath and was just about to leave, but two crisp voices sounded beside him, "Shangxian, please accept us as apprentices." Tan Shaobai looked to the side, only to see the Yuhua sisters kneeling beside him respectfully, looking at him with reverence. How similar this situation was to when he went to Qingyun Mountain, at that time, didn't he and Tan Jinxuan also want to worship all the masters as teachers? The disappointment on Tan Jinxuan's face when he left kept coming to his mind, and Tan Shaobai was already a little stupid unconsciously.

Yuhua said tentatively: "Master, you, are you willing to accept us? We didn't know that you were an immortal before, and you said a lot of disrespectful things, don't be angry! Master, please accept us." My sister and I can endure hardships, and we will definitely honor you, and we will never complain about what you ask us to do. "She is a very clever little girl, and the poor life in the mountain village has forged her strong surname. Just now, when she saw Tan Shaobai magically subduing the fish essence, she knew that her fate had come, and such an opportunity might only come once in her life, at that moment, she immediately pulled her sister, who was still a little ignorant, to kneel down in front of Tan Shaobai, begging bitterly.

Tan Shaobai came back to his senses, looked at the pair of sisters in front of him, and couldn't help but feel vanity, although he was very smart, but he had slept directly for three years since he was fourteen years old, and most of his current mind was still stuck at that time, and he secretly thought in his heart that if he accepted this pair of sisters as apprentices, then he would no longer be the lowest disciple of Qingyun Sect, and he would still have apprentice clothes in the future, and his life would definitely be very freehand. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but nod slowly. Yuhua was overjoyed, and immediately seized the opportunity, pulled his sister and kowtowed to the sea dragon respectfully, and said, "Apprentice see master." ”

Tan Shaobai nodded and regretted it, he was still hiding from the pursuit of the Demon Sect, the Yuhua sisters were just the most ordinary little girls, if they were brought along, it would inevitably greatly affect their speed, in this way, not only would they be exposed, but bringing them would also have a great impact on their speed. smiled bitterly and said, "Don't call me master first, I don't want to accept you as apprentices, hurry, get up first." As he spoke, he hurriedly picked up the two Yuhua sisters.

Yuhua's eyes turned red, and she wanted to kneel down again, but she couldn't compete with Tan Shaobai's strength, so she had to choke up and say: "Master, do you look down on us? We are indeed poor people who have never seen much of the world, but I really want to worship you as a teacher! Please, promise me, let me follow you, I promise to be obedient to everything." Please......" In Yuhua's crying voice, the village chief Yu Mistletoe had already walked out with the villagers, although it was far away just now, but Tan Shaobai's "divine might" deeply shocked their hearts. Especially the white dragon that conjured out of thin air, which made them think that Tan Shaobai was a god descending from heaven. Jade Mistletoe led everyone to kneel together, and said reverently: "Great Immortal, thank you for driving out the monsters for us." On behalf of the villagers, thank you. Please forgive us for our disrespect. ”

Tan Shaobai couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Don't be like this. Actually, I didn't do anything. However, you will have fish to eat later. Every other day, you can go to the river and wait, and then the fish spirit in the river will send you hundreds of fish, and with these fish, your life will be better in the future. Yuhua, I'm really sorry, I really can't accept you as an apprentice now. I'm not an immortal, I'm just the most ordinary cultivator. If you really want to follow my path, I can point you out. First of all, it takes a long time to cultivate the truth, and I'm afraid you won't be able to see your loved ones again in this life. Secondly, cultivating truth requires a resolute heart, and it must not be given up halfway. If you can do both, then in November of this year, you can wait outside Qingyun Mountain in the Western Regions. The Qingyun Sect to which I belong is there, and it depends on you to grasp the opportunity. I'm sorry, but I'm quitting first. After speaking, his mana was slightly released, and the Yuhua Zhen who was grabbing him retreated to the side, floated up, and disappeared into a wisp of phantom in everyone's sight.
