Chapter Twenty-Three: Taigong Fishing
Yanjing underground dark river surging, it is said that three generations of Yan Emperor had personally built eighty-one rivers underground, the water of the underground dark river led to the city, so the waterway in Yanjing City is very smooth, sometimes the waterway is even faster than the carriage on the ground, Yanjing can be seen everywhere bamboo raft boating, net fishing, this is also a major landscape of Yanjing.
Propping up a penny, sailing towards the greener part of the river, the emerald green bamboo raft paddled across the water, and there were layers of ripples behind it, and the penny crossed the resistance of the river, and a soft force was transmitted to the palm of the hand with the penny.
There are also a few fishing boats on the water, and the fisherman casts his net under the water, sits on the boat, lights a bag of pipes, and smiles as the nets keep sinking, looking forward to a good harvest today.
Crossing the arch bridge on the river, smelling the smell of fish soup with sesame oil, a smile appeared on Yingyi's slightly pale face, only the bowl of thick soup on the riverbank can arouse Yingyi's appetite, I don't know when I have become accustomed to slowly enjoying this solitary fishing riverbank, the feeling of eating on the ground, looking at the steaming iron pot on the riverbank, Yingyi quickly smacked the penny a few times, tied the bamboo raft to the stone bridge at will, and strode towards a row of bamboo chairs by the river.
Gently throwing the fishing rod into the river, Ying Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, leaning on the bamboo chair as if he was sleeping.
After the battle with Xiao Tian, it took nearly a month for the body to recover, and now it is rare to have a little comfortable time to enjoy the tranquility in this brocade of flowers.
Slowly mobilize the true qi and open up the blocked meridians in the body little by little, although Xiao Tian dredged most of the seriously blocked meridians in Yingyi's body with his true yuan, but the meridians of the human body are more than 10 million, there are always some very subtle places that cannot be taken care of, but it really affects the operation of the true qi, and Yingyi is now broken in many meridians in his body, so he can only spend a little more effort and take a little more time to take his time.
"Young man, the fish has taken the bait!"
Ying Yi woke up suddenly, only to see an old man with silver hair sitting next to him, the black cloth on the old man's body has been washed white, but it looks very clean, a silver hair is tied behind a black belt, the passage of time has left a few old age spots on the old man's face, the old man sits very steadily, the waist pole is as straight as a majestic mountain, and the right hand holding the fishing rod is as stable as Mount Tai, not even a trace of shaking action.
Gently mentioned, a goldfish more than a foot long was pulled up, the goldfish's eyes were stained with a trace of golden light, it is hard to imagine that in such a small river can catch such a goldfish, take the goldfish off and put it into the barrel next to him, only as soon as he entered the water, the goldfish immediately jumped up from the water, but the barrel was almost half a person high, and the goldfish's own strength jumped to two-thirds of the way, and then fell into the water again, jumped several times in a row, as if resigned to fate, accepted this new environment.
"Thank you for the reminder. Putting away the fishing rod, Ying Yi said to the old man beside him.
"How to close the rod, look at your first one fell to the golden eye kingfish, this is a rod of gold, representing the fortune of the head, how many people can't ask for it. ”
After Ying Yi put away the rod, the old man glanced at Ying Yi in some surprise and asked casually.
Ying Yi shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "This riverside fishing is an idle thing, what you want is just the word comfort, since your mind has been reached, why bother to deliberately force it, you have lost this state of mind, and then it will be worth the loss." ”
At this time, the old man's fishing rod also shook slightly, and Ying Yi looked at the thin line that had submerged under the water, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
I saw that the old man let the fishing line shake, and never lifted the hook, although Ying Yi was a little puzzled, I didn't know what the old man was thinking, but he still didn't speak, and watched quietly.
The silk thread and the bamboo pole shook it a few times, and then it regained its composure, as if nothing had happened.
After shaking it several times in a row, Ying Yi's doubts became more and more intense, so he asked the old man: "Dare to ask the elder, why don't you lift the hook and let the hooked fish escape at will?"
The old man still sat still, but said, "How do you know that there is a fish under the water?"
"If you look down, you can understand that this bamboo pole is shaking, it must be an underwater fish greedy for bait to bite the hook, how can the elder say that there is no fish on this hook?"
Hahaha......
After a burst of laughter, the old man lifted the bamboo pole in his hand, and saw that there was no bait under the silk thread, not even a fishing hook.
The old man put the fishing rod back into the river, and then asked Ying Yi, "Do you know what Taigong said about fishing?"
"This ......", Ying Yi was puzzled for a while, and he didn't understand the old man's intentions at all.
"In the past, there was Jiang Taigong fishing with a straight hook, and those who wished to take the bait, at the age of seventy, he had to meet the Ming Lord, go down the mountain to help King Wu cut down and establish the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Taigong did not drop a fish, but a real dragon Son of Heaven, how do you know that I am only hanging a fish and not a real dragon?"
This old man is really not shocking and endless, since the dissipation of the Supreme Dynasty, this world has gone through many wars and turmoil, during which the large and small vassal states are not less than thousands, and the disputes have evolved into seven countries for thousands of years, the whole world is only quiet for more than 30 years, and the gap in national strength between the seven dynasties is not large, so there will be a peaceful situation in the world for the past 30 years, but now this old man is following the example of Jiang Taigong fishing, isn't it self-proclaimed Taigong, to find out the true dragon son of heaven, stirring up the situation in the world.
Now there are many cultivators in the Seven Dynasties, and it is impossible for any dynasty to compete with the other six dynasties alone, with the power of one country, how can it compete with the world, this old man is now actually saying that the true dragon Son of Heaven was born, doesn't that mean that the world that has been torn apart and become a king will be unified together and reproduce the scenery of the Supreme Dynasty.
Ying Yi never thought that fishing a fish would encounter so many things, looking at the old man in black beside him, he always felt a little incomprehensible, and the person who could say such a thing would definitely not be a fishing boss, but it was a little unrealistic to really believe the old man's words, and for a while Ying Yi actually found himself speechless.
"The general trend of the world, divided for a long time, will be divided, this is the general trend of humanity, non-human can be stopped; Shinto, immortal, and humane have their own fixed numbers, the ancient gods and demons cultivate the Tao, and the catastrophe will eventually fly ashes, and the body will die; how prosperous the ancient immortal road is, after all, it will inevitably die out; the decline of the ancient people's morality, this time will be the last counterattack of humanity, and if you succeed, you will replace the way of heaven with your own way, and if you fail, you will step into the footsteps of the ancients, and the people of the next generation will eventually follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and be unstoppable. ”
At this time, Ying Yi actually saw the passage of time in the eyes of the old man in black, and the old man's eyes reflected scenes of pictures, hundreds of millions of gods and demons spilled blood, 100,000 religions spilled blood in the starry sky, and the army of the Humane Dynasty died in battle, these seem to have happened before, they are so real.
Thinking of what he saw just now, Ying Yi's mind couldn't calm down for a long time, and he was already subconsciously thinking about what the old man in black said just now, and his face was also solemn.
"When we meet, we are fated, and this fish is given to Xiaoyou. ”
I saw the old man lifting the bamboo pole, a crystal light fish bit the fishing line and flew out of the water, falling into the hands of Yingyi, the crystal light fish body was full of colorful light, the blood veins in the body were clearly visible, and streams of silver-gray blood flowed like mercury slurry in the blood vessels.
The crystal light fish fell into the palm of Yingyi, quickly turned into a warm current, rolling into Yingyi's body, and saw that the originally broken meridians of Yingyi continued to grow, and reconnected together, after connecting the Yingyi meridians, the warm current continued to flow into the dantian qi sea, turning into an endless stream of true qi, filling Yingyi's dantian to the fullest, and then wandering around in the Yingyi meridians.
"The chess game is all over the world, my lord is horizontal, the wind and clouds are impermanent, and who is the king. ”
The two poems came down from the sky, and I saw the old man in the black robe stepping into the sky, like a god in the sky, and the people on both sides of the river seemed to be unable to see all this, still running around and busy, repeating the same life every day.
Ying Yi only felt that this was like a dream, but the injuries in the body that had been fully recovered, and the true qi that filled the dantian, was always reminding Ying Yi that all this was true, although the injury was recovered, but Ying Yi was not a little happy, everything he had just experienced made Ying Yi's mind turbulent until now, and he faintly felt that the old man was not without purpose.
"It's going to change!"
Ying Yi glanced at the clear clouds above, bowed his head and muttered, then put the golden-eyed kingfish back into the river and turned to leave.
