Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Dragon's Scale Fish Affair
Hearing this, Feng Xingyu straightened his stiff waist, and when he was silent for a while, he motioned Zhong Chu to row upstream, and said to Yan Wushu in a solemn voice: "Although the place in southern Yunnan is high and deep, wild and dangerous, it is just hiding some wild birds and beasts...... There is a way to go up the mountain without going to the sea, and to go down to the sea without entering the pool. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info you may not know, this Dragon and Tiger Pond since ancient times is difficult for people to approach easily, it is said that its pool contains a divine charm, if contaminated, it is by no means a thing that can be shaken off with three fists and two feet. ”
Yan Wushu said strangely: "What kind of divine charm?"
Feng Xingyu sighed: "According to ancient legends, Dragon and Tiger Pond is a fish tank where the heavens raise playthings, no matter who touches the gods in the fish tank, they will inevitably be ruthlessly punished by the gods. Yan Wushu laughed when he heard this: "Feng Lao'er, you and I are both people in the rivers and lakes, talking, drinking, and doing things, in addition to fists, are bloody, how can you believe these rumors and legends in the world!" Feng Xingyu shook his head and said: "How can you not believe it! Could it be that after many years, have you forgotten the strange thing in southern Yunnan?"
Yan Wushu was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "How can you forget that!hehe...... Clouds and mist rise on a sunny day, lightning comes out of no clouds, mountains and trees turn into divine soldiers, and stones grow lotus...... It's weird indeed. If I hadn't listened to you that time, and brought that wizard with me, I am afraid that you and I would have died at the bottom of the Mighty Stream River long ago! ”
Feng Xingyu sighed and said, "Fortunately, you haven't forgotten that time." Just imagine, if you encounter the same thing again, with your fists and feet, can there be a solution?" Yan Wushu was stunned when he heard this, and slowly shook his head and said, "There is indeed no solution." No matter how high the martial arts are, it is difficult to win strange things. That's why I tried to find the cockscomb python, but unfortunately it didn't work. ”
The black clouds press the water, the water flows silently, and the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth have been completely integrated into the dark night. Zhong Chu rocked the boat smoothly against the current. Yan Wushu looked at Feng Xingyu with his hands behind his back, and Feng Xingyu smiled slightly: "It's a pity that you didn't get the first artifact that reconciles yin and yang, the cockscomb python...... That's why you came up with this dragon scale fish, am I right?"
Feng Xingyu saw that Yan Wushu nodded, and said with a smile: "This is a magical dragon scale fish......! According to ancient medical records, dragon scale fish can cure any strange poison in the world. If you get it, you can use this to dissolve the cold and hot gas in the solid plate, and you don't need to drink the stinking and spicy medicinal wine that blends yin and yang...... Yan Lao'er, isn't that so?"
Yan Wushu listened to what Feng Xingyu said, and praised: "It seems that you have been hidden in the valley for many years, and you have obtained the true inheritance of the Nangong True Master Great Valley Lord." ”
Feng Xingyu waved his hand and said, "Don't dare to tell the truth." The ability of carving insects like me is less than one-ten-thousandth of the Great Valley Lord's. After speaking, he smiled slightly, and said: "This dragon and tiger pool, the water depth is more than 100 zhang, the cold is incomparable, and the dragon scale fish is cunning by nature, and it sinks to the bottom of the pool for most of the year. ”
Yan Wushu said in a deep voice: "If you do what you say, don't we have any other way?" Feng Xingyu laughed when he heard this: "Of course there is a way." Yan Wushu hurriedly said: "Old boy, don't say slowly, talk quickly, don't you let Zhong Chu, this kid, find a few more good hands, dive underwater, spread a big net, and catch them together?" Squinted at Zhong Chu and said, "With the few people under him, I'm afraid that before he dives under the water, when he sees the dragon scale fish, he has already frozen into a dead fish." ”
Zhong Chu said with a smile while shaking the oars: "Then what should I do?"
Feng Xingyu looked up to the sky and smiled, deliberately silent.
Seeing this, Yan Wushu rubbed his hands and sighed: "Since this can't be done, then it's not possible, what do you say...... You also know that after autumn, the dragon scale fish began to reduce its activities and sink to the bottom, if it were not for this rare and sultry rain, how could we have a chance to catch it? Tonight's sullen weather is a good opportunity that has not been encountered in a century, if we give up and miss it, it is difficult to predict how many more years we will wait!"
Feng Xingyu nodded and said, "Yan Lao'er, don't worry. Although the Dragon and Tiger Pond is dangerous, and the dragon scale fish is extremely difficult to catch, as long as the method is right, it is not difficult, hehe...... Be sure to know its eating habits. Do you know what aroonfish like best?"
Yan Wushu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer.
Feng Xingyu asked and answered: "I spent more than ten years, read the world's famous medical classics, and finally found out about the eating habits of dragon scale fish in a book of "Rejuvenation Skills" written by the Eastern Jin Dynasty. ”
Yan Wushu was greatly surprised, and said, "Lustful, isn't it a fish?"
Feng Xingyu laughed and said: "Of course it is a fish! But in addition to its own extraordinary effects, this fish actually likes to eat the flesh of a yellow flower woman." ”
When Yan Wushu heard this, he muttered, "It likes to eat the flesh of the Yellow Flower Girl!"
Feng Xingyu laughed proudly: "The people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty wrote in "Rejuvenation Skills" that 'dragon scales and fish are like real dragons, and they are relegated to the pond because of their lust...... 'You see, is this because of its lust has been relegated to the world!'
Yan Wushu shook his head and said, "Rejuvenation Skill, shouldn't it be a pretentious reader who likes to talk nonsense?"
Feng Xingyu said with a straight face: "The rejuvenation technique is one of the most cherished books in the classics collected by Lord Otani. Hehe, Lord Otani is proficient in medical science, what he knows and what he knows, it is unique through the ages, if a literati is talking nonsense, how can he escape his peerless insight!"
Yan Wushu knew that the Nangong True Master mentioned by Feng Xingyu was the Great Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley who made everyone in the rivers and lakes frightened, but was respected as the number one divine doctor in the world. It is said that when you hear the words 'Nangong True Master', you have touched the gate of hell.
In fact, in the early years, in addition to being mysterious in the rivers and lakes, the reputation of the Medicine King Valley was not bad. But in the past 20 years, there have been people who have died or mysteriously disappeared because of the involvement of Yaowang Valley, so no matter who mentions the three words of Yaowang Valley, they shudder. However, Yan Wushu was born arrogant and did not know the word fear, coupled with his high martial arts, he had practiced in retreat for many years, he was fearless, and in order to get what he wanted, he didn't care about the bad reputation of the Medicine King Valley.
It is necessary to know that the anti-theft world yamen was supervised by the younger brother of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, King Qi, Dugu Changfeng, and was divided into four small yamen: heaven, earth, martial arts, and medicine. At that time, although Feng Xingyu was proficient in medical science, his martial arts were not high, so whenever he went out to find prescriptions and collect medicines, he needed to be escorted by Wu Xiaoyamen. A few days ago, Yan Wushu and Feng Xingyu met by chance in Chang'an, because the two worked together in the Yamen of the anti-theft world, although they were different, they were also old acquaintances. After some greetings, Yan Wushu realized that after he and Shangguan Xiaoxiong and others left the rivers and lakes, they also left soon after the wind and rain, and since then they have wandered the rivers and lakes.
The wine was hot, Yan Wushu asked about the recent situation of Feng Xingyu, and Feng Xingyu bluntly said that he was the second valley master of the Medicine King Valley. Yan Wushu was secretly surprised. He knew that the Medicine King Valley was respected by everyone in the rivers and lakes, and his reputation was not good, but now he did not shy away from it, and he honestly told himself his identity, and he was moved in his heart. Because of his superb medical skills, he inquired about the method of resolving cold and heat poison.
Feng Xingyu was very refreshing, took out a yellowed map from his backpack and handed it to Yan Wuving, saying that there was an ancient cockscomb python on the top of the cliff of Junwang Mountain. Yan Wushu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he passed on to Feng Xingyu his most proud two martial arts, and the right to use it as medical resources. The two said goodbye, and handed Yan Wushu a carrier pigeon, saying that if he couldn't catch the cockscomb python, he could fly the pigeon and pass the book to him. After careful planning, Yan Wushu decided to take Zhong Chu and the money leopard up the mountain. Later, although he found the hiding place of the cockscomb python, the chaos was dangerous, and in the crisis, Yan Invincible was guided by Li Xuan, although he passed through the Zhuge Liang chaos without danger, but inhaled the poisonous mist when fighting the cockscomb python. Fortunately, at that time, the cockscomb python was exhausted, and the poisonous mist sprayed was weakly toxic, otherwise he would inevitably die on the top of the cliff.
Feng Xingyu looked at Yan Wuving, who was silent, and said, "Since the dragon scale fish is lustful, then we will do what it likes." The old man passed by Zaoling earlier, and was worried about finding the yellow flower woman, but happened to meet a lonely little girl. Therefore, I took it by the hand. As he spoke, he kicked the man who was curled up at his feet.
Yan Wushu jumped on the boat, and saw a person curled up at the feet of Feng Xingyu, and suddenly realized when he heard it, and exclaimed: "Old Man Feng, are you going to use this yellow flower woman and the strange bait you have prepared to lure the dragon scale fish......?" It's cruel. ”
When Feng Xingyu heard this, he smiled strangely and said, "Cruel? Yan Lao'er, why is your mother-in-law and mother getting up?
Yan Wushu sighed and said: "In our early years, we were in the imperial court, galloping back and forth, although killing people is not counted, it is really helpless! Therefore, after I entered the rivers and lakes, I swore not to kill innocent people. Even if Sima Nan, the head of the Tianlong Sect, secretly colluded with others behind the sect leader's back, not only wanted to seize the sect leader's scepter, but also intended to kill the old man, and when I heard it, I only slapped him to death with one palm, and did not torture him. Alas, Old Man Feng, if we didn't have this yellow flower woman, wouldn't we be able to catch the dragon scale fish?"
Feng Xingyu nodded and said, "That's right." Yan Wushu sighed, seemed to suddenly wake up to something, laughed loudly, pointed to the curled up man and asked Feng Xingyu: "You said that the woman you caught is the body of a yellow flower, how do you know?" I am proficient in medicine, and I can know at a glance whether a woman in the world is a yellow flower virgin!"
Li Xuan saw that the boat was forty or fifty zhang away from the shore, and in the sound of water waves, it was still rowing upstream, and gradually, it disappeared into the dark night.
Although he only listened to five or six out of ten of the talks between Yan Wushu and Feng Xingyu because of the headwind, he had vaguely understood that these two people were trying to use other people's lives as bait to catch the dragon scale fish, and said in his heart: "The dragon scale fish they are talking about, is it the long-bearded monster fish that was very spiritual in the giant pool and gave me beads before?" Now, in order to catch the dragon scale fish, they dare to use live strangers as bait...... With such vicious methods, even if you are the best in the world in medicine and martial arts, you will not be human. ”
Li Xuan raised his eyes and looked at the night sky, and saw that the dark and dark momentum had returned. The moon that had been flickering and flickering, with half of its face gone, and on the wide river, the cold wind was heavy, and the silent mountains and water cemented into a depressing and dull atmosphere with the slowly flowing river, which flowed silently. When he quietly made a promise, Li Xuan looked up to the sky and smiled, and said secretly in his heart: "What am I waiting for?" Alas, the most important thing now is to inform Gang Master Shen and let him avoid the ambush on Zaoling as soon as possible!"
He tightened the two blades he was carrying, and strode downstream along the meandering river. If according to what Tang Bing said that day, out of Zaoling, you have already left Junwang Mountain, and Mi Yanke had said that Zaoling is seventy miles south of here.
It seems that this Zaoling is on the other side of the river.
However, if you go around the river to the south, you can only find your way along the shore, and it is unknown how much time it will take. If you can cross the river directly and get to the other side, it will be faster to look south. But how can you cross the river?
It would be best if you could find a boat to cross!
Li Xuan thought about it, his spirits were lifted, and he looked around, but at this time, it was dark all around, and the mountains and valleys were already hidden in the darkness, even if he stared wide, he could see that the distance of four or five feet was not bad. When he secretly groped for a while, he suddenly remembered that when the Flying Dragon Sect broke down Bai Hanbing's hut before, he had thrown more than a dozen torches, and thought: "In order to cover up his whereabouts, Bai Hanbing built the hut by the water, and he will definitely prepare a boat as a plan to escape." Well, I'm looking for the torch first, then the boat. ”
Thinking about this, he began to work lightly, and hurriedly turned back along the same path.
In a moment, Li Xuan returned to the big willow tree. With the help of the electric light that constantly flashed on the surface of the river, I successfully found a few torches. He carried the wind on his back, bowed down, covered the windless corner with his clothes, shook the fire, lit several torches together, searched around with the torches, and sure enough, found a small boat in a vegetable garden more than ten feet away from the hut.
This small boat is made of thick birch wood, about seven or eight feet long, about two feet wide, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with two pointed ends, although it can only accommodate two or three people, but the weight is quite heavy. Li Xuan hiked hard, dragged the boat into the river, and said in his heart: "Bai Hanbing really left a hand!" He thought of Bai Hanbing, and he couldn't help but think of Shen Wuxing, and said in his heart: "I don't know if I will have time to rush to Zaoling after crossing the river!" I wonder if Miss Aying is also by Shen Wubing's side...... Ah Ying...... Zaoling ...... Yellow Flower Woman ...... Oh...... It's not good! As the old man said before, he passed by Zaoling and took a lonely yellow flower girl. Could this girl be Ah Ying?"
Li Xuan stood for a moment, only to feel a cold sweat breaking out, and said in his heart: "I hope there are many girls passing by Zaoling tonight, and the woman caught by the wind and rain is not Miss Aying...... but he thought about it again, and said secretly: "Aren't I deceiving myself? On such a stormy night, if it weren't for Miss Aying following Shen Wuxing's predecessors to Zaoling, what woman would have the courage to walk in the dark night......?" Isn't it for Miss Ah Ying, should I stand by and watch death without help...... If that person is really Miss Ah Ying, why am I still here indecisive and looking forward?" )
