Chapter 38 Jing River

Not long after the fishing net was laid, the sun had not yet set, and Zhang You had already put away the net slowly.

A small net, only laid down for a short time, the fish and shrimp seemed to be out of their minds to drill into it. The fishing net was mentioned by Zhang You, and I saw that there were countless fish and shrimp in it, but there were nearly 100 fish.

"Awesome, really awesome. Li Qing praised, "People often say that there are three hundred and sixty lines, and the line is the champion." The crafts of laymen are still worthy of being the champion on the river. ”

"Hahaha, the little master smiled. Zhang You smiled, and his subordinates kept pouring all the fish from the net into a bamboo basket.

Li Qing looked at the fish out of the water struggling to open their gills, and felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart.

Mortals want to live forever, immortals want to be detached, the world is like a net, why don't you look like these fish?

"Amitayus Buddha~" Li Qing suddenly clasped his palms, and his expression brought out some sorrow.

When Zhang You saw this scene, the smile on his face disappeared, and he sighed, "I forgot, you monks can't kill when you see it." But there is no way, my daughter-in-law is pregnant again, and the family has to chew it every day, otherwise, it will be rare for me to cross the boat to the family, even if they are released, it is nothing. ”

Li Qing said with a smile, "It's okay, although I have a shaved head, I can only be regarded as a fake monk. Now it's just a little melancholy when I see this fish crying. ”

Hearing this, Zhang You stared at Li Qing's bald head twice, squeezed out an embarrassed smile on his face, and said, "The little master is really good at telling jokes~"

After saying that, he didn't pay attention to Li Qing anymore, took a step to the west end of the boat, and stretched out his hand to pull the fishing line up.

"Hey, good guys!

Li Qing looked at the empty fishing line, which was broken straight at this time, trembling slightly like the strings of a musical instrument, making a buzzing sound, and said, "I'll help the handle?"

"No, I don't. Zhang You's attitude became a little detached, but as soon as the words came out, Yu Guang glanced at Li Qing, and couldn't help but add another sentence, and his tone softened slightly, "Since I took the bait here, it will definitely not be able to escape." ”

Li Qing smiled and didn't care. People's hearts are changeable, human nature is complex, and it is up to him.

The fishing line is coming to an end, and the water surface is constantly fluctuating.

"Come in for me!" Zhang You pulled the fish out of the water, grabbed it, took out the hook, and put the fish into a fish bucket.

There was water in the bucket, and when the fish fell into the water, it stopped struggling and began to wander leisurely.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, a touch of gold came into Li Qing's eyes.

Li Qing looked intently and saw that it was a carp that was more than three feet long, and the strange thing was that the carp was actually golden. This made his heart move.

Zhang You packed up the fishing net and hook, and the boat slowly sailed towards Chang'an City, leaving a wave on the river. The sun shines on it, casting a shadow.

As the ship faded away, a splash stirred, a shadow floated, and a head poked out.

The head was ugly and frightening, the skin on his face was like dried moss, and his long green hair was twisted and swaying like aquatic plants.

A pair of cloudy eyes stared coldly at the boat that was gradually moving away, and a splash was set off on the calm water with full malice.

After a few moments, the splash cleared, and the water was empty, and calm had returned.

......

Li Qing stood at the stern of the boat, stood with his hands in his hands, glanced at the deep and bottomless river, looked up at the infinitely high sky, and couldn't help sighing.

"Little master, I'm about to go to Chang'an, this is the imperial city of the Tang Dynasty, it's lively, you have to take a good look at it. Zhang You held the pulp with his hands and laughed at the top of his voice.

Li Qing couldn't help but laugh along, he could hear the pride in Zhang You's words.

Although that pride has some of the superiority of being under the imperial city and looking at outsiders, it is more of the pride of being a Tang person.

He stepped to the bow of the boat, and Zhang You seemed to have forgotten about Li Qing's statement that he was a fake monk at this time, and spat on the scenery and customs in Chang'an City.

Li Qing listened silently and did not intervene.

......

The boat unconsciously docked, Zhang You folded his hands and saluted, and said with a smile, "The little master has a safe journey." I'm not far away. ”

Li Qing stood on the riverbank, returned the salute, and said, "Layman, is this river called Jing River?"

Zhang You was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "It's the Jing River, and the little master also knows the name of this river?"

Li Qingyao glanced at the fish bucket on the boat, did not answer, and continued, "You only get a net once a day, but you can return with a full load every time, but I am afraid that this is not your ability to fish, but someone calculated it, he gave you the time, gave you the direction, you just need to do it, and you can be full of fish and shrimp without much effort." ”

Zhang You's brows furrowed, dissatisfaction already hung on his face, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"

Li Qingdao said, "That person will tell the fortune for you, so naturally he will be paid, presumably the golden carp." ”

Zhang You said, "So what?"

Li Qingdao said, "You crossed the river with me, and I didn't collect the boat fare, so I will also give you a word, and this cause and effect is complete." ”

Zhang You glanced at Li Qing again, his face was handsome, and the gray monk's robe on him couldn't hide the demeanor of Qiongzhi Yushu, and he just had some convincing in his heart, and thought that this was a wine and meat monk, and couldn't help but extinguish his thoughts, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

Li Qingdao said, "Although you have been fishing on this Jing River all day long, I am afraid that you don't know that there is a dragon king in this river." Although the golden carp has not faded to a mortal body, it has a bit of dragon blood, and it can be regarded as the dragon son and grandson of the dragon king of the Jing River. ”

Zhang You looked at Li Qing, as if he was looking at the storytellers in the teahouse, and he only felt unbelievable and absurd in his heart, "Dragon King?"

Li Qing nodded and said, "There are already water demons patrolling the river following the boat today, so it's better not to go to the Najing River in the recent days." ”

After Li Qing finished speaking, he gave a salute and walked towards Chang'an City.

Zhang You, who was behind him, looked at Li Qing's back and couldn't help but smile dumbly, "It's really a fake monk." ”

......

The dark and tall city walls, shoulder to shoulder, the flow of people.

Li Qing stood at the huge city gate and walked in.

The romance of the entire Tang Dynasty seems to be concentrated here, the gorgeously decorated carriages on the spacious avenue are constantly coming and going, the scholars and chivalrous guests, geisha and singers between the Qinglou and the wine shop, competing for romance, and among the teahouses, the sound of applause is accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo......

Li Qing walked in it, unconsciously smiling on his face, the hustle and bustle was not annoying at all, but made him like drinking a pot of mellow Huadiao.

He could feel that the city was alive, that it was a majestic city that breathed of its own, full of life.

It's like a vivid picture of the Qingming River.

Here, it is Chang'an.
