Chapter 101: Fishing Jiao
Twenty or thirty zhang away from the Ghost King Lake, there was a dense shrub jungle, and after Zhou Qing followed those people to the lake, he hid in the jungle, watching the movements of the five people from a distance.
They took off a thick bamboo pole from the wooden cart, and after some tossing, one of them took the thick bamboo pole and walked to the pier that had been made of wooden planks by the lake.
The other four scattered all the things they had brought with the wooden cart into the lake, and then two of them began to walk back and forth along the shore, occasionally sticking something into the ground.
Due to the distance, Zhou Qing didn't know what they were doing, but judging from what he saw in his eyes, he guessed that the two of them should be arranging a formation.
After a short time, the two people who were arraying on the shore of the lake stopped, they walked back a little, retreated to a place almost ten zhang away from Zhou Qing, and sat underground.
At this point, four of the five people were sitting ten zhang away from Zhou Qing, and the other was standing on the dock by the big lake, holding a thick bamboo pole in his hand.
In this hundred-mile lake, Zhou Qing was still thinking about how these people could lure out the dragon in their mouths, but now, it seems that they can't imagine that they will do so.
"Fishing for Jiao, it's a bit interesting, but this lake is a hundred miles big, so can you really attract that Jiaolong?"
With some doubts in his heart, Zhou Qing quietly lay in the bushes and waited.
After observing in the bushes for a while, Zhou Qing saw a strange movement on the edge of the calm lake.
The water on the edge of the lake seems to be boiling, because the water in the lake is rushing to jump out of the water and then drill down, as if the lake is really too hot.
After the strange appearance of the lake, Zhou Qing was not too surprised, because the two wooden carts pushed by those people here, and the things placed on them, he probably guessed early in the morning that they should be bait for scattering nests, so it is normal for schools of fish to gather by the lake.
The bait of the two wooden carts is spread over a large area by the lake, and the fish attracted by it are naturally not small, so the movement caused by the water must be not small.
However, this is a big lake with hundreds of miles, and the dragon in the lake doesn't know where it is.
At the same time, Zhou Qing was also suspicious that the person standing on the dock, holding a thick bamboo pole to catch Jiaojiao, his behavior was too ridiculous, and it was tantamount to killing himself.
If the dragon in the lake can really be led to the lake, and it really bites the hook, what ability does the person on the dock who has not reached the realm of Bigu have the ability to compete with the power of the dragon?
However, after thinking about it, although these sect cultivators were not deeply involved in the world, they would not be stupid enough to joke with their lives, so he guessed that the person holding the bamboo pole must have something else to do with the bait on his hook.
As Zhou Qing thought, the person who was called the second senior brother with a rod had a different bait in his hand.
If the dragon could swim to the shore of this lake, he would definitely find the bait, because he had attached a spirit rune to the bait.
At the same time, if the dragon really bites the hook, the spirit rune will anesthetize it.
Because of this, although these people are not highly cultivated, after some careful deliberation, they naturally have some confidence in their hearts about the matter of fishing Jiao.
At noon, the bamboo pole was thrown into the lake, and the brothers began to take turns holding the pole by the lake, and waited until it was dark, and there was no major movement by the lake.
The five people didn't fish at night, they took the fishing rod and went directly back to the town when it was dark, Zhou Qing didn't think much about it when he saw this, but only after the few people walked away, they got out of the bushes and went to the direction of the town.
After returning to the town, Zhou Qing returned to the inn, until the next morning, he found that the five people had left the inn again, and then set off to follow.
As yesterday, the five men bought two more truckloads of bait for the nest in the town, and pushed the bait to the lake near noon.
After arriving at the lake, the five of them were still the same as yesterday, hooking, scattering, and arranging formations, and then taking turns holding the rod.
When it was dark, there was still no major movement by the lake, and the five of them withdrew their formation, put away their fishing rods and went back to the town.
In this way, five days have passed, and the dragon has not appeared, but Zhou Qing knows in his heart that if it continues like this, it will definitely not be far from the day when the dragon appears.
Although the area of this hundred-mile lake is very large, it may not attract the attention of the dragons in the lake for a short time or two days, but the movement in the lake is naturally not small.
Therefore, if it can continue like this, the parallel goods in the lake will naturally be attracted to this vicinity in large quantities, and such abnormal movements will naturally not escape the attention of the dragons in the lake.
As long as those people persisted, the dragon would appear sooner or later, Zhou Qing did not have the slightest doubt about this, so he followed those people for five consecutive days.
On the sixth day of the five sect chicks cultivating the Jiao, the sky was cloudless, and the scorching sun hung high in the air.
As in the previous five days, when the five men had gone to the lake, they took turns standing on the pier and holding their fishing rods, having made preparations according to the previous arrangement.
Each of them held a rod for about half an hour, and soon more than two hours passed, and it was not far from darkness.
Just when Zhou Qing, who was lying in the bushes, thought that the dragon would not appear today, a strange wave suddenly appeared on the edge of the lake that was not too undulating.
The strange waves were quite moving, like the waves on the beach.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing knew that something was coming to the lake, and judging from this situation, it was very likely that it was the dragon in the lake, and the appearance of this scene made Zhou Qing completely focus on the person standing on the dock to catch the dragon.
The four people not far from the bushes, after seeing the movement on the shore of the lake, stood up together and ran quickly towards the lake.
Just as they ran to the dock, the man standing on the pier holding the bamboo pole seemed to be pulled by a huge force of the lake, and his body moved several steps towards the end of the pier, and at the same time, the straight thick bamboo pole in his hand also became bent.
Seeing this, the other four rushed out quickly, and it took the strength of the five to pull the thick fishing rod.
When the five people stabilized the fishing rod, Zhou Qing saw a tail turning out of the lake from a distance, the tail was huge, blood-red, like a snake's tail, and the tail was carrying a circle of things like fish fins.
Such a tail has a certain memory in Zhou Qing's heart, although he has not seen this kind of tail with his own eyes, but he has seen this kind of tail in many places.
For example, at the end of the year, the peach talisman pasted on the door usually draws a dragon on the side of the talisman, and the tail he sees now is very similar to the dragon tail on the peach talisman.
For example, in the homes of some non-member gentry and rich people, a dragon shape will be carved on their roof beams, doors and windows, or some small ornaments in the house, and the dragon's tail on it is similar to the present.
After seeing the dragon tail turned out of the lake, Zhou Qing rose in anticipation, this was the first time in his life that he had seen this legendary monster.
