One day, Guo Yang was fishing on Sun Datou's wooden boat when a big boat came on the river.

The boat is about ten zhang long, much taller than the villagers' fishing boats. The boat went down the river, and at the bow stood several brightly dressed teenagers, who looked like they were from large families.

Guo Yang has been timid towards the children of big families since he was a child, and when he looked at those teenagers, he couldn't help but lower his head and didn't dare to look more.

"Zhang Gongzi, there is a fishing boat in front, do you want to buy a few fish to stew? I heard that the Yellow River carp here is the most authentic. A young man in white shook a folding fan, smiled and asked the first young man in purple.

"Yes, that's fine. I've been on the boat for a day or two, and I'm feeling bored. The boy said with a smile.

The young man in white ordered the big ship to drop anchor and anchor in the middle of the river.

"Hey, boatman, do you have any good carp?" asked the young man in white, standing proudly on the bow of the boat.

"Yes, yes, but it will take a while. Sun Datou bowed and saluted, and said with a smile.

Guo Yang lowered his head and concentrated on fishing, for fear of being recognized, so he didn't dare to speak.

"Then hurry. We still have to hurry. The young man in white said arrogantly, and turned his head to talk to the young man in purple, Zhang Gongzi.

"Zhang Gongzi, I heard that this time the Taihang faction recruited disciples, and with the nine-layer realm of Zhang Gongzi's qi refining period, he entered the two major factions of Taihang and Wangwu, which is like taking things out of his pocket. The young man in white said with a smile on his face.

"Not necessarily. I don't know what the conditions for these sects to recruit disciples are. Zhang Gongzi said lightly.

"No matter what the conditions, you still have to speak with strength. Who doesn't know that your Zhang Lingfeng Zhang Gongzi's single fire spirit root attribute is really a once-in-a-millennium cultivation genius. The two factions of the Taihang Royal House are not rushing to ask for you. The young man in white laughed.

"You Li Ren is not bad, the dual-attribute Thunder Fire Spirit Root is also a rare talent. Zhang Lingfeng said with a smile.

"Not necessarily. Of course, small sects like the Cangwu Sect and Tianhemen do not have too high a threshold, as long as they have spiritual root attributes, they can cultivate the truth, and they can basically join the sect. The Taihang faction is not good, every time it recruits disciples, there are extremely difficult entry tasks. Li Ren frowned and said, it seems that the introductory task he said is still relatively difficult.

"It's not just difficult, it's just perverted. It is said that the last time the Taihang Sect recruited new disciples, it was to collect more than 20 kinds of precious medicinal materials that were more than 100 years old within three months. It is said that only one person will complete it. Zhang Lingfeng frowned and said.

The two of them were talking about it as if no one was around, what kind of spiritual root and dantian, Guo Yang was confused when he heard it. These were things he had never heard of, and he was thrilled with them, but he didn't understand anything.

Just as Guo Yang was attentive to what he heard, Sun Datou shouted loudly: "Two sons, the Yellow River carp has been caught." Childe's blessing, I've never caught such a big carp. ”

Sun Datou was carrying a live carp in his hand, which was really big, more than ten catties.

Guo Yang was a little surprised, such a big carp, Guo Yang had never seen it. On weekdays, all they can catch are carp weighing three or two catties, and more than five catties is considered good luck. He couldn't help but glance up at the two sons on the big ship.

"Hey, this kid is actually a layer of qi refining!" The son named Li Ren glanced at Guo Yang and said with some surprise.

When Zhang Lingfeng, a young man in purple, heard this, he turned his head to look at Guo Yang, and his eyes were a little surprised. However, after a moment, he regained his cold expression and said, "Country boy, I don't know where to get some chance, it's not surprising. ”

The two stopped paying attention to Guo Yang.

Guo Yang listened to the conversation between the two people, and when he heard that he was talking about himself, he was startled, for fear that someone would find out that he had escaped from Wujiazhuang, so he quickly lowered his head and went into the cabin and stewed fish.

After about half an hour, a pot of delicious fish soup was stewed, with more than ten pieces of white fish meat, accompanied by fresh ginger, chopped green onions, etc., which made people appetize when they looked at it.

Zhang Lingfeng and Li Ren, the two noble sons, stood on the big boat, glanced at Guo Yang arrogantly, and saw that Zhang Lingfeng grabbed it in the air, and the soup pot flew steadily towards the big ship as if it had been taken away in an instant.

Guo Yang was startled, his eyes were as wide as bells, it was the first time he had seen such a magical thing when he grew so big.

Seeing Guo Yang and Sun Datou standing on the small fishing boat in surprise, Zhang Lingfeng was a little proud to catch the soup pot and put it on the small table in front of him in a chic manner.

"Zhang Gongzi's trick of taking things from the air is really skillful. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is shocking. Li Ren's eyes were full of envy, and he smiled and complimented that Zhang Gongzi.

"It's just a small skill for carving insects. Zhang Lingfeng said this, but the color on his face was obvious.

Sun Datou looked up at the two sons on the big boat. Guo Yang bowed his head and entered the cabin.

After a while, the two sons finished eating the fish and each drank a bowl of fish soup, which was very pleasant at first glance.

"Old man, I've got you covered. Then Li Ren saw that Zhang Lingfeng had finished eating, and casually threw a small cyan stone to Sun Datou, and beckoned the big ship to anchor.

Sun Datou took the cyan stone, and was dumbfounded, and he stopped talking, so he had to sigh and say in his heart: "I still expect to reward a little loose silver, such a big style, I actually slammed the door to such an extent, and threw me a stone!"

Seeing the big ship sailing away, Sun Datou shook his head and entered the cabin as he thought he was unlucky.

Guo Yang looked at Sun Datou's face, and knew that Sun Datou was extremely dissatisfied with the reward of the two sons on the big boat, but since he was "dumb", he couldn't say anything, and could only look at Sun Datou with sympathy in his eyes.

Sun Datou sighed for a while, threw the small stone in his hand a few times, and casually threw it to Guo Yang, saying, "Take it, one of our big carps was exchanged." ”

Guo Yang stretched out his hand to catch the stone, looked at it carefully, and saw that the stone was all blue, the size of an adult's thumb, and it was very cold to start.

He curiously turned over and studied the stone, but he really couldn't see its value, and naturally understood Sun Datou's mood at the moment. He casually put the little stone in his arms and winked his eyes in thanks.

In the evening, an old man and a young man set up their nets, harvested dozens of carp, and returned to the fishing village.

Guo Yang ate at Sun Datou's house as usual. He buried himself in eating two large bowls of white rice, ate half a salted fish, and returned to the village hut.

As soon as Guo Yang entered the door, he latched the door, listened for a while, and didn't notice that anyone was paying attention, so he crossed his knees and began to vomit according to the appearance in the book.

After a stick of incense or so, Guo Yang was circling a wisp of cool breath in his body.

Suddenly, a trace of cool breath rose from Guo Yang's chest, faint, but also extremely clear.

Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, feeling that a trace of breath slowly seeped into his body and naturally merged with the breath in his body. Suddenly, Guo Yang obviously felt that the cool breath in his meridians had grown a lot. He was overjoyed, and began to breathe without moving.

After meditating overnight, Guo Yang felt that the breath in his body was much thicker. He slowly opened his eyes, reached into his arms, and took out the small cyan stone. That cool breath came out of this stone.

Guo Yang pinched the bluestone to his fingertips, and in the early morning sun, he was surprised to find that the color of the stone had changed, no longer dark cyan, but showing a gray color.

Guo Yang curiously turned the stone over and over for a while, closed his eyes, and began to breathe. He found that when the stone was placed in the palm of his hand, the cool breath was more likely to penetrate into his body.

In other words, this small cyan stone contains a certain cool breath, which can be sucked into Guo Yang's body!

Guo Yang slowly realized it for a while, and found that this breath was much easier than meditating alone, and this night meditation was comparable to the speed of many months on weekdays.

Guo Yang was overjoyed, knowing that he had inadvertently picked up a treasure, so he simply didn't go out to pick up work, but quietly meditated in the hut and slowly absorbed the breath in the cyan stone.

Around evening, Guo Yang slowly opened his eyes, looking dazed.

Because he found that after nearly a day and a night of absorption, there was no longer that cool breath in the cyan stone.

When his eyes fell on the stone, he found that the small stone that had once been dark blue had turned all gray-white, and it was no different from ordinary stones.

Guo Yang took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and continued to breathe.

Soon, he opened his eyes, for he was dismayed to find that he could no longer absorb any breath from the small stone.

Thinking of a good baby, it turned into an ordinary stone in a day and night, Guo Yang's mood was naturally depressed to the extreme.

......

The river is mighty and the starry sky is silent.

The fishing village is quiet.

Guo Yang rested his head on his hands and lay on a hillside a mile or two away from the fishing village, staring quietly at the stars.

A small cyan stone was scrapped like this, which made Guo Yang unacceptable: "After absorbing it for a day and a night, a baby has become gray-white garbage, what a pity." ”

After lying down for more than an hour, Guo Yang sat up and meditated cross-legged, ready to vomit. As a result, in less than an hour, he opened his eyes.

"It's still the cyan stone, it's really fast to absorb. In just one day and one night, it is worth two months of meditation like this. Guo Yang muttered, full of chagrin.

It's like just tasting the sweetness, the sugar cube is gone, and the sense of loss is naturally indescribable.

Guo Yang was stunned on the hillside for a while, stood up, and secretly made up his mind that he must find a way to find that little cyan stone in the future.

Returning to his own hut at the head of the village, lying on the bed, Guo Yang couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and his mind was full of small cyan stones.

"No, I'm going crazy if I go on like this!" Guo Yang sat up abruptly and said in a low voice.

"That kind of stone, in the hands of those two proud sons, does not seem to be too rare, otherwise, they would not have been rewarded for fish and eaten. It seems that the most convenient way to find this small cyan stone is to find the two sons as soon as possible, ask them, and see where the small stone can be found. ”

Guo Yang was excited for a while, thought about it, and was a little deflated, and said in his heart: "Look at those two sons, they are both from rich and noble families, of course, they can take out a small bluestone and reward people." But what do I have? To put it bluntly, I'm just a little coolie who eats with a mouth. Even, he is still a little fugitive who is afraid of being caught. ”

Thinking of this, Guo Yang was afraid for a while, thinking of Wujiazhuang, and then thinking of Steward Wu, thinking of the possibility of being caught back and being skinned, he couldn't help but feel cold.

This night, Guo Yang thought about it, suffered from gains and losses, in short, he didn't fall asleep at all, even if he meditated and vomited without thunder on weekdays, he couldn't calm down at all, so he had to simply not meditate.

In the next few days, Guo Yang seemed lazy and couldn't lift his spirits at all, whether he was helping people to work or returning to the hut to meditate at night.

It was as if he was enchanted, and all he thought in his heart and looked at in front of him was the little blue stone. He even spent three whole days running to the river beach to find that little blue stone.

It's a pity that even if my eyes are spent, I haven't even seen the shadow of that little stone.

As for the cyan stones, I found a lot of them, but none of them were able to absorb that cool breath. This made Guo Yang a little crazy.

For more than ten days in a row, Guo Yang was tortured by the small cyan stone, and the restlessness he felt when he was working made Li Dezhi and others very puzzled.

Guo Yang saw it in his eyes, and he was also a little uneasy in his heart, for fear that his identity would be exposed and others would see something. He looked in the direction where the great ship was going, and his heart was lost.

"I don't know where the Taihang King's House is? It seems that I have to find a way to find it myself. Guo Yang secretly made up his mind and prepared to quietly look for the "Taihang Wangwu Sect" that he heard that day.

Next, Guo Yang slowly calmed down, and every day, in addition to helping people work and eat, he had to go to the nearby mountains to cut down trees at night.

You can't own a boat, and you have to buy it for at least ten taels of silver. But if you build your own raft, it will be much easier, there are many mountains and forests nearby, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can continue to carry those logs back.

Fearing that he would be discovered, Guo Yang used ropes to tie dozens of pieces of wood together in a bay three miles away from the small fishing village, like a sturdy little raft.

He has been working in Wu Yuanwai's house since he was a child, and the work of building a raft is relatively simple.

Looking at the raft that was gradually taking shape, Guo Yang's irritable mood slowly calmed down. He carried as much wood as he could, and he tried to tie it as strong as he could.

In this way, after more than two months of hard work, Guo Yang's raft was tied.

In the dead of night, Guo Yang quietly left the small fishing village. He stood on the raft, looking in the direction of the small fishing village, and his heart was gloomy.

Guo Yang gently untied the cable, and after a penny, the raft quietly sailed into the river and headed all the way to the east.
