Volume 1 On This Mountain Chapter 9 Hooked
However, Zhang Pingyi and Xiao Baoling did not come here to enjoy such a spectacle, but for something that existed in the spring.
Cast Dragon Pond is majestic, it is the fairy land in the fairy mountain, such a place is of course pregnant with some heaven and earth spiritual things, such as the dragon whisker fish in the pond water, Zhang Ping's master and nephew The purpose of this trip is here. This fish can be said to be the last preparation made by the teenager for the New Year's Festival.
The red sun was slanting in the west, the sky was dark, and the two of them didn't have much time, so the young man stepped up his movements.
Zhang Pingyi soon found two purple thin bamboos in the bamboo forest on the side, after the teenager made it, it became a large and a small two fishing rods in an instant, and handed the smaller one to the hands of Xiao Baoling, and the young man strung the bait he got out of nowhere on the hook, but the fishing rod of Xiao Baoling on the side did not put bait, not even a fishing hook, because the boy did not want the girl to fish, fishing is a patient work, the young man's understanding of Xiao Baoling, with the girl's lively nature, want her to be patient to fish, it is even more difficult than letting her learn the scriptures。
Therefore, the teenager adopted his heart, according to the experience of previous fishing, he chose a place where the fish may haunt, sat on the bluestone on the shore, and concentrated on fishing, one is that the teenager has good fishing skills, but in the evening, the fish are lively, and soon there is a dragon whisker fish caught by the teenager, swinging the silver body in the air, bringing up a series of splashes, beautiful and abnormal under the sunset, the arowana was then included in the fish basket that has been prepared next to the teenager.
With the first, soon the second was caught, then the third, then the fourth...... Not long time, the fish basket next to the boy was almost full, waiting for the last fish to be hooked, the boy did not forget to look to the side, only to see Xiao Baoling watching the little uncle catch so many fish, a little envious, so learn the posture of the boy and also began to fish, but there is no hook and no bait, of course there is no fish to take the bait, and gradually the girl can't hold her breath, and her whole little face is wrinkled together. The boy watched from the sidelines funny.
Soon, the last fish was caught by the boy, the full basket was carried, the fishing rod was picked up, the boy came to the girl's side, just when Zhang Pingyi was about to speak, suddenly the fishing rod in the girl's hand trembled, in the young man's incredible eyes, a petite dragon's whisker fish was caught.
I saw this thin dragon's whisker fish biting the fishing line of the fishing rod, and he refused to let go.
Willing to take the bait!
However, what surprised the boy even more was that this fish was slightly different from the fish he caught, the fish caught by Zhang Pingyi were all silver and white, without a trace of variegation, and the one carried by the girl in his hand, although the body was petite and the body was also silvery-white, but only the four fluttering fish whiskers showed a bright golden yellow, which was amazing!
Xiao Baoling was very fond of the fish baby that he had caught after "a lot of hardship", so he carefully put it in the small fish basket prepared by his uncle, holding the fish basket, looking left and right, and couldn't put it down.
Carefully carrying the small fish basket, Xiao Baoling's frustration that he had not caught a fish was suddenly swept away.
The boy felt the change in the girl's mood, and couldn't help but feel a little happy.
People are different after all, individuals have their own fate, some things are not forced to come, what is yours is yours, you can't get rid of it, it's not yours, even if you hold it in the palm of your hand, it will eventually flow away from your fingers like a grain of sand.
Just like the golden-whiskered dragonbeard fish, this is its chance, so it will not let go even if it bites the fishing line, and for the other silver dragonbeard fish, even the strongest and most ferocious dragonbeard fish can't even get close to the fishing line.
Because it's not qualified!
The road is difficult, and the farther you go, the more difficult it is to move an inch, so even if you lose your life, you have to fight for that opportunity.
I don't know, in the time just now, how many dragon beard fish lost their lives because of this?
Of course, these are not for people like teenagers who can't even climb mountains.
In the distance, on the horizon, the red sun had slowly sunk under the southern hump of the camel peak in the Gesoap Mountain system, and it would not be long before the sky would be completely dark, and the two of them would hurry back.
As soon as Zhang Ping packed up his things, carried the harvest on his back, and led Xiao Baoling, he was about to leave this place and return the same way. Before leaving, the young man glanced at the old willow tree on the isolated island in the lake, as if he suddenly remembered something, did not leave in a hurry, but led Xiao Baoling to the center of the lake closest to the shore on the bluestone, in the puzzled eyes of Xiao Baoling, the young man put down the bamboo pole in his hand, unloaded the basket on his shoulder, and untied the fish basket on his waist, the young man who had no burden looked at the pond, silently calculated the distance from the center of the pool, and Xiao Baoling, who had been observing the young man, seemed to see what the young man wanted to do, touched him twice, took out two talismans out of nowhere, and reached out to hand them to the young man, Zhang Pingyi looked at the two special treading talismans in the girl's hand, but he didn't reach out to catch it, "The magic here is forbidden, and these talismans can't be used." ”
Xiao Baoling didn't believe in evil, he tried it himself, and it really didn't work, he couldn't help but be a little frustrated, if he couldn't even use the talisman seal given to him by the master, then he couldn't use other spells.
In fact, as early as when he came down from the mountain, Zhang Pingyi felt that this place was unusual, because the young man's fist intent from practicing boxing was pressed into his body just after entering this place, and he could no longer exert a penny.
Sure enough, as Master said, there is no place in the world that can be called the number one Zhong Lingyuxiu is a good place. It's just that I don't know if those Taoist immortals on the main peak of Gesoap Mountain with real people as the suffix come here, will they be like themselves, and they can't show any cultivation?
Zhang Ping felt his own strength, and then looked at the island in the distance, felt a little sure, so he didn't think about it anymore, squatted on the edge of the bluestone, took a deep breath, only to hear a dull roar, only to see the young man's figure suddenly disappear on the bluestone, and when he reappeared, he was already on the surface of the pool, and then the young man's toes touched the water, like a dragonfly touching the water, with the help of the tension of the water surface and rushed forward again, and soon landed on the island in the pool.
Only by looking at this old willow tree up close, can you really feel the insignificance of people, countless layers of draperies composed of weeping willows, fluttering in the wind, occasionally rubbing against the young man's face, itchy, a long-lost breath of spring.
The young man walked through the willow branches and curtains and came to the trunk of the willow tree, looking at the dense and irregular scabs, the young man couldn't help but feel respect, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted with the etiquette of the people in the rivers and lakes under the mountain, "In Xia Zhang Pingyi, this time I came to ask for a willow branch for his use!"
After waiting for a while, the old willow tree still did not react, and the young man thought for a moment, and then changed his words, "I begged for the wicker not for my own use, but for the child on the shore." ”
As soon as the words fell, the willow tree, which had been motionless, finally moved, and saw that between the swings of the willow branches, a wicker as thick as an adult's arm broke away from the tree and fell in front of Zhang Pingyi.
Zhang Ping's face was always calm, leaned over and picked up the thick willow branch that was nearly two meters long, saluted with his fists again, and then turned around and left while the remaining sun was shining.
The old willow tree had no abnormalities after the change just now, and if it weren't for the wicker in the boy's hand, it would have been as if nothing had happened.
The wicker moves without wind, like a spring breeze.
The young man held the willow branch in his arms, exerted his force on the edge of the island, and there was another roar, and the young man's figure instantly rushed forward, connected two points on the water surface, and returned to the bluestone where he came.
Xiao Baoling originally watched his little uncle not exert a trace of magical powers, and completely relied on his physical strength to tread the water, and went to the island in the pool, he was a little excited, and now he saw the little uncle coming back with a willow branch in his arms, so he became more and more excited, and couldn't help but think about how such a powerful little uncle was Xie Baoling's little uncle, but the girl then thought that such a powerful little uncle must of course be Xie Baoling's little uncle.
Thinking like this, Xiao Baoling was even more happy.
Seeing Uncle Xiao coming back with a willow branch, Xiao Baoling hurriedly stepped forward to take the willow branch, for fear of making Uncle Xiao tired, but of course the boy would not let Bao Ling take it, not to mention that Xiao Baoling was too young, even an ordinary willow branch may not be able to pick it up, just say that this seemingly ordinary willow branch in the young man's hand is actually heavy and abnormal, otherwise, it is impossible for the young man to come back and connect two points on the water surface to borrow more strength.
Zhang Pingyi carried the heavy willow branch on his shoulder, put on the equipment that was originally placed on the bluestone, and freed up a hand to hold Xiao Baoling, and the two looked at the entire pool for the last time.
As the sun sets, the red light shines through the mountains and shines on the surface of the pool, but it is scattered by the layers of ripples generated by the young man's treading of water, presenting a fish-scale scene, from the perspective of the boy and the girl, like a huge red carp that wants to roll, shaking people's hearts.
If the boy comes a few days late, when the spring breeze suddenly rises, the old willow tree in the island is full of catkins and floats, attracting thousands of whitebait in the pool to compete for food, I don't know what kind of situation it is?
The world is wonderful, who can say clearly?
In the distance, there are two figures, one big and one small, walking towards the distance, and the slanting sun still pulls out two oblique shadows on the ground, but the difference is that this time there is no heavy snow, but a breeze, not dull and depressing, but moving forward happily.
A leaf falls into the water and a leaf floats, a leaf leaves the surface and comes out of the knife, the whitebait falls into the water and turns over the white waves, and the willow leaves ride the wind down the treetops.
After the two walked away, a Taoist appeared on the bluestone at some point, the Taoist figure was ethereal, dressed in a Shangqing Taoist robe, the cuffs were painted with landscapes, and he was wearing a crown of the beginning of the Dao, which was clearly Yuchen Daojun, at this time, Yuchen Daojun looked at the two young people in the distance, and his brows were tightly tightened because of the incident couldn't help but stretch a little, and the Taoist glanced at the willow tree in the distance from the corner of his eye, thought for a moment, and finally sighed, and his figure flashed, and disappeared.
I saw that the willow tree in the pond was due to the sudden arrival of the Taoist, and the willow that was originally windless and automatic seemed to be solidified, and it did not move until the Taoist walked for a long time before it gradually recovered.
A hunchbacked old man appeared in front of the willow tree at some point, his white hair was scattered, fluttering with the swing of thousands of willows, and the old man bowed deeply with Taoist etiquette to the place where the Taoist had just left, with a restrained expression.
The word fate is really wonderful, if it weren't for the willow branch, I'm afraid there would be no more old willow in the pond in the world.
