Chapter 11 Playing the Piano to the Ox
From seeing the fish to making a move, Lu Zheng's fork was already extremely fast, he clearly saw that his fork had hit the fish, but when he lifted the fork, it was empty. The fork missed, and Lu Zheng opened his eyes wide again and continued to search for movement in the stream.
Fortunately, there were a lot of fish in this stream, and after a while, Lu Zheng saw another one, which looked even fatter than the previous one. This time, Lu Zheng learned to be obedient, first patiently let the stream flow between his legs, he just stood motionless in the water. It wasn't until he saw that the fish had swam in front of his eyes that Lu Zheng's waist and hips were closed, and a force went straight through his right arm, and the wooden fork pierced into the water like lightning.
Lu Zheng cheered and lifted the wooden fork to take a look, but he was dumbfounded, there was still nothing on the wooden fork, he had just seen the fork, he looked into the stream, and he didn't see it in the water.
It seemed that the fish had already escaped from under his wooden fork, and at this time it had long since disappeared, Lu Zheng secretly screamed bad luck, changed places and tried a few times, but still found nothing. Strangely, every time he could clearly see that he had forked the fish, but when he brought it up, there was nothing.
Lu Zheng couldn't help but be curious, could it be that there was something strange about this stream? At the moment, he took the wooden fork and stirred it in the stream, but he saw that the wooden fork in the water seemed to be broken, but when he lifted it, it was intact, and when he put it into the water, it became broken again, Lu Zheng suddenly realized, no wonder he couldn't hit the fish. It turns out that the fish in the water are actually in a different position than what you see with your eyes.
This fish can also deceive its own eyes! No wonder Venerable Yunye said that everything in this heaven and earth is enough to deceive people!
Lu Zheng patted his head again, he was practicing archery in the Sun Moon Mansion. The target was moving at high speed, and it wasn't exactly where he was seeing, so it was hard for him to hit at all. Now that the spearfish have made the same mistake again, why is it that he always reacts slower!
Thinking about this, and then to spear the fish, Lu Zheng every time he forked a little bit more than the position he saw, and after a few times, he finally figured out the trick, roughly grasped the actual position of the fish in the water, and it didn't take long to finally fork the first fish.
The fish was only the size of a palm, though. But it made him quite excited. With the first one. There is a second one, and then, Lu Zheng changed the location again, and sure enough, after knocking on the door. Skill comes from practice. In a short time, three fish were forked. It's about the size of a palm.
Lu Zheng wrapped the fish in clothes and took it to the shore, found a sharp stone to wash and peel the fish, and brought it back to the wooden house to find four branches to insert into it. Make a fire and start grilling the fish.
In the Sun Moon Pavilion, Lu Zheng followed the teacher to evaluate the delicacies, and the most he ate was fish, and naturally he had also eaten grilled fish, so he commented on the taste of those grilled fish in Jingchang. But this time I did it myself, and I realized that things in the world are still easy to say after all, but not at all like that.
As soon as Lu Zheng started grilling fish, he held a wooden branch with fish in his two hands and sent it to the bonfire. But it didn't take long for me to smell a burnt smell, and when I picked it up, I saw that the two fish were charred in some places, but they were not cooked in other places.
So he had to turn it over, put it into the fire and roast it again, this time he took it a little away from the fire, and was careful not to let the fish become charred, and finally watched the fish steam, and took it to smell it, but there was no aroma. After taking a bite, a muddy smell made him spit it out directly, the fish was cooked, but the muddy smell was really hard for him to swallow.
Seeing that the fish was inedible, Lu Zheng recalled that when the teacher talked about grilled fish, he said that if the fire was insufficient, it would be difficult to force out the muddy smell in the fish. The grilled fish I made was guilty of this, and I had to throw the two fish aside in frustration.
There were still two fish left that hadn't been grilled, but Lu Zheng didn't dare to be so reckless this time. Looking at the two grilled half-cooked fish, it should be because I didn't notice the heat. Lu Zheng remembered that Mr. Le once said that the strings should not be too tight, nor too loose, and the same is true for doing anything, it is too much. I grilled the fish just now, and the fire was too much at first, but then it was a little too late.
Thinking of this, Lu Zheng suddenly reacted, many principles of doing things, in fact, the two gentlemen in the Sun Moon Lu had already pointed out thoroughly, and everything he did not do well was because he couldn't figure out the situation, and he forgot what the teacher and Mr. Le said.
Taking a deep breath and thinking about all this, Lu Zheng suddenly entered the feeling of concentration and concentration when he was shooting arrows in the Sun Moon Mansion, and then picked up the branch with the fish in it, and slowly sent the fish into the fire.
As soon as the fish approached the fire, the tongue of fire licked the fish, making a 'zi' sound, and then the skin began to shrink and roll, and it looked like it was about to crack. Lu Zheng saw it in his eyes, and immediately turned the fish quickly, he carefully paid attention to every trace of change in the fish flesh in the flames, and always kept the fish and the flames at a distance that was neither far nor close.
Finally, under his careful grilling, the fish finally turned golden brown in the flames, and the skin took on a crispy sensation and gave off an enticing aroma.
Seeing that the fire was almost over, Lu Zheng hurriedly pulled the fish out of the fire, and couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and directly clamp a piece of fish meat on the branch, blow the heat away, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it.
The entrance is fresh and tender, there is no fishy smell, and there is a natural sweetness in the fish, this taste is no worse than the grilled fish eaten in the Sun Moon Lu! Lu Zheng's eyes lit up when he ate, and he almost didn't bite his tongue, and at that moment he was flying with chopsticks, and he ate the fish on the branch in his hand cleanly after dividing it by two, and he didn't even have time to remove the fish from the branch into the bowl.
After eating, Lu Zheng happily concocted the second fish in the same way, this time it was naturally more experienced, and the grilled fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and attractive. After the roasting, Lu Zheng's index finger moved, and he was about to eat with his saliva, when he suddenly remembered that the teacher had said that the disciple's gift should be the first to respect the teacher. Although Uncle Shenxu is not a good person, he is not bad to himself after all, so this fish should be sent to him to eat first.
The idea was set, so Lu Zheng put out the fire and put on the roasting clothes. He walked towards the mouth of the valley with the fish, and passed by those registered disciples along the way, and those registered disciples smelled the aroma of the grilled fish and looked at him one after another. Lu Zheng smiled in his heart and said, "You let me smell the stinky cow dung, but I let you smell the grilled fish, which is good for you!"
When he came to Shenxu's wooden house, Lu Zheng handed over the grilled fish to explain his intention, and Shenxu happily took the grilled fish and tasted it, screaming strangely. Lianhu is delicious. Immediately held the grilled fish and gnawed it. He ate so fast that he even chewed the head of the fish and ate it, but the fish bones got stuck in his throat, and he poured two large bowls of water in succession before swallowing it.
Lu Zheng saw that he was chubby. Stuck by a fish bone. At this time, I don't think this uncle is a bad person at all. I saw his fat fingers touching the grease on his body. Thinking of the real person I saw before, I secretly said in my heart, although this uncle and the real person are brothers. But how could the cultivation of supernatural spells be so different?
Although Shen Xu was stuck by the fish bone, Lu Zheng was able to send the fish he grilled himself to eat, it seemed that his previous intentions to Lu Zheng were not in vain, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved and proud in his heart, so he encouraged Lu Zheng again, and finally asked Lu Zheng with a smile if he could let Sanxian learn to grill fish with him.
Lu Zheng naturally agreed, he just entered the door and found that Sanxian was not in the house, so he wanted to ask for an understanding. Now Shenxu asked Sanxian to learn how to grill fish with himself, which is naturally the best, and he can ask Sanxian Weishenme about sprinkling mud and sand in his rice pot. In this way, you don't have to let Uncle Shi know, so as not to be beaten by Sanxian.
On the way back from his uncle's farewell, Lu Zheng thought that he should also let Liubi taste the taste of this grilled fish, after all, people still bother to teach him to refine the form? So he went to the creek to spear fish again, but this time he forked a dozen in one go, wrapped a large bag with clothes, washed and peeled it by the stream and brought it back to the wooden house. Only then did I remember that I didn't know which wooden house the Sixth Debate lived in, and those named disciples were very hostile to me, so naturally it was not easy to ask them, so I had to wait until the next morning, when the Sixth Debate came.
When he came back this time, there was no more cow dung outside his cabin, and he didn't know if it was because he came back early, or if those named disciples were angry enough, he didn't think about it, and he concentrated on practicing the small refining form over and over again in the open space.
In the evening, Lu Zheng separated the rice and sediment in the pot, cooked a pot of porridge, picked up some firewood, built a bonfire, and roasted seven fish to eat. While grilling fish, he looked at the scenery of this mountain and spirit valley. In the distance, the nine-fold spiritual clouds dyed golden by the setting sun are beautiful and magnificent, and the mountains in the dense and dense near are full of small wooden houses, and from time to time you can hear the cries of "moo" and "moo" from cows, as well as the shouts of those named disciples.
There was an intoxicating blur in the evening breeze, Lu Zheng remembered Xin'er, I don't know what Xin'er was doing at this time, so distracted, a fish was a little baked.
At this moment, several string sounds sounded not far away, and the scattered sound of the piano disturbed the silence of the sunset. When Lu Zheng heard the sound of the piano, he suddenly felt very cordial, why did he forget to bring a guqin when he came to Tianzong?
I saw a cow wading across the river from the other side of the stream, slowly walking towards this side, and a young man in brocade clothes sat upside down on the back of the cow. As soon as Lu Zheng saw this back, he somehow cheered in his heart. This young man, with a back, also shows a heroic atmosphere, and he is so ethereal in the sunset.
The young man sat cross-legged on the back of the ox, with a guqin on his legs, and he was making a sound at this time. He said that he made a sound because he didn't play any more tunes at all, just randomly hooked the strings with his fingers. But when Lu Zheng listened to it, he had a strange feeling, this young man didn't seem to know how to play the piano, but he just plucked out a few notes at random, but he had a different kind of naughty feeling, intentionally or unintentionally breaking the silence of the sunset and evening breeze.
What's even more interesting is the cow he sat on, Lu Zheng was originally attracted by the sound of the piano, but when he saw the cow, it made him feel extremely weird and wonderful, and he couldn't help laughing.
The cows in the valley were originally black, and then under the domestication of those named disciples, from the tail to the nose of the cow, little by little, but the cow where the young man sat down, the tail of the cow was still black, but the buttocks of the cow were white, but the whole body of the cow was black and white. It's even more strange when it comes to the cow's head, the cow's head is actually divided into left and right, the left side is white and the right side is black, and even the two cow nostrils are divided into one black and one white, the whole cow is like this, it naturally looks very funny, Lu Zheng couldn't help laughing.
The laughter seemed to alarm the young man on the back of the ox, and the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the cow also stopped at the bottom of the hillside where Lu Zheng was. Lu Zheng looked over from the side and saw that his left hand holding the strings was smooth and white, slender and slender, almost like the palm of Xin'er's hand, and said secretly in his heart: "Could it be that this is a girl, it seems that I have never seen a girl in this valley?"
