Chapter 53: The Fisherman in the Night
The scholar clearly saw the clear traces left by the fishing rod and pestle, and was lightly trampled on by the soles of the feet of this unremarkable old Gu. He pretended not to know and held a wine glass to look at his trouble-prone brother again and again, but he was secretly shocked in his heart: What a powerful character, I haven't heard of such a person in Suzhou!
"Shopkeeper Huang, where is this fisherman fishing?" the scholar waited for a long time before asking, he knew that Shopkeeper Huang was familiar with this person, and he was afraid of causing him to misunderstand.
"Oh, this guest officer, Lao Gu usually fishes by the lake not far from Lingguang Temple, are you also asking for a big fish?" He was surprised that the vicious man who had been shouting suddenly became honest.
"Well, my mother likes fresh fish soup. The scholar responded casually, "Xiao Ke is going to bother, Brother Li, let's go, come to the altar to burn knives, let's take it with you." It's still a little cold at night by the lake. The scholar surnamed Yan walked slowly to the shopkeeper Huang, put a silver ingot on the counter, took the wine jar and walked out, not as if he didn't care much about whether Li Weihan followed.
"Okay, it's important for Brother Yan and the old lady to eat fish!" Li Xihan looked very polite at this time, and walked a few steps behind the scholar and gradually walked away. Of course, they don't pay attention to the relieved appearance of the shopkeeper.
Yan Dongzhai looked at the night breeze on the lake without saying a word, the evil man surnamed Li stood far away and took a sip of the burning knife from time to time, at this moment he was unusually docile and docile like a docile little sheep. The float on the surface of the lake appeared and disappeared under the gaze of Yan Dongzhai's eyes, shining with a light yellow light. It's weird enough for a guy to fish in the middle of the night, and it's even more weird that his float can glow. It can't be phosphorescent and phosphorescent powder can't last that long.
Suddenly the glowing float dimmed, and at the same time that he could no longer see it, Lao Gu shouted: "Get up, good guy, this tail should not be small, Xianggong, this fish is yours." His eyes focused on the draft of the fishing rod and line on the water, and his hand constantly adjusted the angle of the rod to prevent the struggle between the rod and the fish from forming a tug-of-war wrestling. Looking at him like this, he might really be a big fish.
Yan Dongzhai seemed to be startled by his shout, and then noticed that there was a splash on the lake from time to time. He looked at Li Evil Han in the distance, and there seemed to be an unbearable look on his face.
"This Xianggong, thanks to your longevity, there are not many opportunities for the old man to catch such koi fish over the years!" Lao Gu was obviously very excited, and as the sound of splashing on the surface of the water gradually became louder, the fishing rod in his hand was bent into a huge bow shape and raised higher and higher. "Well, it seems that it can't run away, and this thing should be honest if it prick its head in the water again. ”
Yan Dongzhai has seen and eaten koi, but he has never seen anyone catch it. He also looked at the water more and more curiously, as if he had forgotten the existence of 'Brother Li'. His 'Brother Li' was desperately holding his chest at the moment, and he seemed to be in pain.
"Oh, the hell came with me to play this trick, and I underestimated you. Lao Gu's eyes were fixed on the surface of the water, the rod of the fishing rod had already entered the water a lot, and a huge ripple spread out on the surface of the water, which appeared and disappeared in the moonlight. When his eyes showed a little anxiety and even disappointment, he suddenly flashed with joy, and the fishing rod was gradually pulled up by him, and there was a splash on the surface of the water.
Yan Dongzhai's palms unconsciously became a little damp, and he glanced at 'Brother Li' with joy in his eyes.
When Lao Gu slowly pulled a huge koi closer to the shore, he said excitedly: "Xianggong, hurry up and help copy it, such a big koi is rare, it's really rare!"
Yan Dongzhai hurriedly grabbed the big copy net at Lao Gu's feet and fished up the koi fish with a net. With a shake of his hand, he threw the net ashore and went far away, and then he stood with his hands down with confidence, looking very respectful.
"Lord Yanxiang, do you know what is wrong? Well, give him this first, maybe it won't be to abolish his martial arts. Old Gu calmly handed him a small white porcelain vase.
Yan Dongzhai fell to the ground, and before he could speak, he hurriedly grabbed the porcelain bottle and ran to the side of 'Brother Li'. 'Brother Li' fell to the ground at the moment, his face distorted from the great pain, but he didn't make any sound, not even a moan.
When Yan Dongzhai slowly walked in front of Lao Gu, Lao Gu said with a pleasant face: "Li Jihu is also a man. Lord Yanxiang, do you know what is wrong?"
Yan Dongzhai's tone was dim, and he seemed to take a deep breath: "The subordinates are guilty!"
"Just know your mistakes, you are not guilty, and the guilty are gone. ”
"If your subordinates are negligent in employing people, they won't do it again!" Yan Dongzhai said concisely, and at this moment he felt that the fewer words he had, the better.
"Our church, of course, we are called the hall in the rivers and lakes, the four major incense masters, the thirty-six altar masters, I only look at you differently, do you know why?"
Yan Dongzhai was silent, he didn't know how to phrase it, but he knew very well that it was very disrespectful not to reply.
"I have no children under my knees, you are the oldest one among the incense masters, you should always know this......" Lao Gu paused, "The people who poison us and the people who practice medicine in the world are the same ancestors, do you know who it is?"
"Sage Shennong!"
"Well, it's very good, I think when Shennong tasted the herbs, he divided the herbs he tasted into poisonous and non-toxic, in fact, this is just our misinterpretation. Lao Gu suddenly remembered to put the fish into the fish guard, he carefully grabbed the fish and put it into the fish guard, but the fish was too big to say anything and couldn't fit it, the fish tail shook and struggled, or broke free of his palm and fell into the water, and quickly swam into the deep water and disappeared.
Lao Gu didn't feel sorry for the disappointment, but on the contrary, he was a little excited: "Don't you see this the will of heaven? Shennong didn't know that the people we poisoned would be stripped out and gradually become the kind of healers who hurt people. This is contrary to the original purpose of his old man, and I see in you a little bit of my youthful shadow. ”
Seeing that Yan Dongzhai was silent, Lao Gu sighed lightly and continued: "I'm 'poisonous immortal fish' Gu Qingsong has never poisoned innocent people in my life! Some people in the sect have made me more and more disappointed, and your nickname of 'poisoning one person will save one person' has given me some hope again. ”
Yan Dongzhai was expressionless and silent.
Gu Qingsong was obviously a little disappointed by Yan Dongzhai's silence, and he said leisurely: "When your master was young, he acted chivalrous and righteous, killed a lot of people who could be killed, and also saved a lot of people who should be saved. Until one day I rescued a young chivalrous warrior who was like-minded with me, everything changed and became unlikely. At that time, my wife had just been six months pregnant ......".
Poison one person will save one Yan Dongzhai said loudly: "Master, as long as the apprentice can find him, he will definitely kill him!
Gu Qingsong's voice suddenly softened, "This kid, your master is not dead, what revenge, for the teacher, I want you to carry forward the Five Immortals Hall and stand in the martial arts forever." ”
