The golden scales were wrapped in the water mass, and in an instant, they came to Lin Xiuran's eyes.

Its golden scales shone dazzlingly in the night, the tail of the fish kept flicking, the fins were swinging, and it was very anxious, and the two fish eyes were like human eyes, bright and talking, but at this moment, they were also full of anxious looks.

It was afraid that Lin Xiuran would really kill the round monk.

The golden scales came from the top of the ladder.

There, Wu Sizi and Yuan Xueyi are about to reach the end of the ladder of heaven, climb to the top of the mountain, and become immortal immortals in the mouth of mortals.

And this tail of golden scales was originally qualified to compete with them, but after the round monk fell into the devil and incarnated as Shura to kill the gods, this tail of golden scales resolutely gave up his immortal fate, galloped down from the mountain, and rushed to save Lin Xiuran before he killed the round monk.

The golden scale test ladder is the way to verify the nature of the mind, and it is also the way to get a glimpse of one's own cause and effect.

This golden scale, after climbing the second half of the Golden Scale Ladder, gradually began to realize in his heart, and the cause and effect of the Dao Dao that he had not been able to care about in the past appeared in his mind one by one under the brilliance of the "Stone of Asking Dao".

And the reason why it was able to give up the immortal fate and come here categorically was because it owed the round monk a cause and effect.

The grace of saving lives must be repaid.

It needs to repay him for this cause and effect.

So, at this moment, it blocked in front of Lin Xiuran and protected the round monk.

Never let Lin Xiuran go any further.

It was to save him from his men, and to save him from the tormented grip of the demons.

Only in this way can the cause and effect of that person and that person be restored.

......

This golden scale was just an ordinary carp in the Yanyu Lake, and like its many brothers and sisters, it started from a fish egg and grew up eating river mud and aquatic plants.

In the beginning, it was no different from its brothers and sisters, from juveniles to adults, playing and playing in the water and grass of Yanyu Lake and Mingluo River all day long.

Waiting for its ending, most of them are picked up by a fishing net cast one day, and after that, they are sold by fishermen, disemboweled, made into fish soup by cooks, or made into chopped pepper fish heads, and then served on the table and become a food in the mouths of diners.

This seems to be its inevitable end.

But ever since it inadvertently swallowed a bead in the Mingluo River, it has gradually become different.

A little bit of intelligence slowly turned on, and it gradually realized that it was different from other fish.

All they know is rummaging in the mud of the river in search of food, and they only know how to gather in groups. And it likes to surface on a moonlit night, on the river, facing the breeze, swallowing the essence of the moon.

Gradually, its body also changed a little, the scales on its body became harder, the swing of the fishtail fins became more powerful, and even the eyes could see farther than before.

In the water, it is gradually not afraid of the natural predators of the past, and when a fishing net is cast, it can quickly escape, sometimes it is covered, and it can also immediately drill a big hole in the fishing net and escape.

Later, the fishermen were all saying that in the Mingluo River, there was a water ghost with strange powers, specializing in cutting the fishing nets of fishermen, and this water ghost was talking about it.

There are even rumors that this water ghost wants to pull those innocent fishermen off the boat, drown, and be the substitute ghost for it, so that it can be reincarnated.

After that, people drowned in the Mingluo River one after another, and the rumors were even worse.

This is, of course, nonsense.

Great rivers, where there are immortals.

Naturally, it is not a water ghost who wants to replace the dead ghosts, it sometimes saves people who have fallen into the water, and will drag them ashore to save their lives.

In this way, after many years, because it has insisted on swimming to the surface of the water every night to swallow the essence of the moon, its cultivation has gradually improved, not only has its body become stronger, but it has even mastered a spell of "spitting arrows".

That's probably the legacy of that bead.

It relied on this spell to swim unhindered in the intricate water systems of Yanyu Lake and Mingluo River, and soon became the overlord here, and even the crocodiles, which were dozens of times its size, were afraid of it.

The age of the carp can be seen on the scales, similar to the growth rings of trees, from the center outward, there are many circles, sparse and dense.

The sparse ones grow in the summer, and the dense ones grow in the winter.

It has been 30 years since it came to this world.

Human beings are thirty years old.

And it, in the thirtieth year of the birth of the "fish", fell into the "mystery of birds and beasts".

The so-called mystery of beasts refers to a puzzle that all living beings except humans have to suffer.

Caught in a deep maze and lost in yourself.

During this time, the demon beast that has achieved cultivation will gradually lose its mana and return to its original form.

The duration of the fascination is uncertain, but it can be as long as a few years or as short as a month or two. Only after that period of time can these demon beasts who have achieved cultivation recover their spiritual wisdom and mana and rediscover themselves.

However, if something happens to them during this lost time, it can only be said that the immortal fate has ended, and the fate of creation is like this, and they will end up dead.

After the golden scale encountered the mystery of the beast, its spiritual intelligence began to degenerate, and the "spitting arrow" spell could no longer be used, and soon, it was completely lost, changed back to its original form, and became an ordinary carp in this Yanyu Lake and this Mingluo River.

Originally, it was the overlord of the 800-mile vertical and horizontal water system, but it was reduced to the point of digging over the mud at the bottom of the river to forage and staying in the water and grass by the river.

One day, it was in the water, and the same school of fish and shrimp were competing for food.

Suddenly, a huge net fell and covered them all. The fisherman collected the net, pulled the net and pulled it all away, and pulled it onto the fishing boat.

In this way, it became a "prisoner of the stairs" and became a fish and meat to be slaughtered by others.

It was lost in its mind, but instinctively frightened, not knowing what was going to happen and what was going to happen.

But now, it has come out of the beast and regained its senses, and everything that happened before is vivid.

The fisherman, a swarthy middle-aged man, pulled them aboard, shook the oars, stopped the boat back to the shore, and lay down by himself, smoking a dry cigarette.

While pumping, he instructed his daughter to kill the fish.

The woman who killed the fish was a girl with dark skin, and her father called her a Xiu.

Miss Ah Xiu held a fish-killing knife in her hand, grabbed a fish next to it, and disemboweled it in three strokes and divided it by two, killing it cleanly.

She was about to kill the second fish when she caught it when a monk appeared.

After the "Stone of Asking Dao", the golden scale remembered that the monk who saved it was the round monk who was enchanted in front of him.

The round monk used a piece of humanoid He Shou Wu to save a whole boatload of fish, including it.

Although later, only it was unlucky to be hidden by Ah Xiu's father, but the kind-hearted and honest Ah Xiu girl did not violate her father's promise to the round monk and deliberately threw it into the water to let it escape.

In this way, it escaped the catastrophe of being disemboweled, and swam back into the river.
