Gan Yu carried a bamboo basket on his back and trekked through the mountains and forests.

Thinking of the subtle meanings expounded in the "Tao Jing" in the book he borrowed before, a smile appeared on his face.

"Sure enough, after reading the book a hundred times, its meaning will become apparent... I only had six volumes of the Taoist Scriptures before, and they were not very coherent. Many of the meanings of the scriptures were not smooth enough to read, but now they are coherent and clear..."

With such thoughts, he naturally ran to Mr. Fang more diligently.

Moreover, I have to repay the kindness I received from my husband.

However, Gan Yu is short of money. Fortunately, in the past few days, I heard that my husband wanted to eat snake soup.

Gan Yu suddenly thought that there seemed to be insects infesting the Niutou Mountain not far away, so he often came here to collect firewood and caught a fat snake to honor his husband.

However, the easy-to-catch long worms in the mountains have long been caught by the children in the village and have disappeared. In the past few days, nothing has been caught.

Today, he will go deeper into collecting firewood, hoping to gain something.

The sun was blazing in the sky. Gan Yu had been flogging firewood for a long time, but now he was sweating profusely.

He put down the bamboo basket and took out the earthen jar filled with water. Just as he was about to take a drink, he suddenly stumbled.

Snapped!

Gan Yu exclaimed and watched as the earthen jar fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. Countless water flowed out and disappeared into the earth in an instant.

He looked at the few remaining belongings of his family and took away one of them, and he couldn't help but cry without tears: "Sure enough... Bai Wuyi is a scholar."

Gan Yu had no choice but to feel extremely hungry and thirsty. He checked the direction and remembered that there was a ruined temple not far away, and there should be a well in the temple.

After walking forward for a while, he saw a small temple.

This small temple has long been dilapidated. The plaque and a door are missing, there is a big hole in the roof, and there are many spider webs on the eaves.

At the position of the statue, the golden body made of clay and tiles had already been torn into pieces, and not a single head was left.

On top of the golden body, there seems to be a robe, but over time, the color has faded, making it somewhat difficult to identify.

Only vaguely, there seemed to be some waves in the water, with carps playing among them.

People in this world revere heaven and fear gods. Gan Yu cupped his hands towards the statue of the gods and then came to the back of the small temple.

This was originally the place where Miao Zhu lived, but Miao Zhu had disappeared long ago and there was no trace of people at all.

In the courtyard, hidden by weeds, there is an ancient well.

The well has a square mouth and is built with blue bricks. It looks like it must be quite old.

And the well is not big, only the size of a water tank.

Gan Yu lay down at the mouth of the well and took a look, and couldn't help crying out in pain.

It turns out that the well is very deep and seems to be close to drying up, and the straw rope next to it has long since rotted...

"Um?"

At this moment, Gan Yu glanced out of the corner of his eye and was startled.

Next to this small well, there is a pool of water.

The pool was so shallow that it could not even cover the soles of his shoes. The muddy water was churning in it, and something seemed to be flopping around!

Gan Yu's eyes lit up, and when he grabbed his hands, he felt that he was grabbing onto a slippery body, and when he twisted it hard, it was about to come out of his hands.

He felt anxious, and immediately turned his hand again, buckled the fragments of the earthen jar that was originally intended to be used to ladle water, and turned it over again.

In the muddy water, the back of a loach is looming.

Its entire body has fine scales and is pitch black in color. Its whiskers are long and slender, but its eyes are very smart.

Gan Yu couldn't help but secretly praise him.

As a boy from a farm family, he often touched snails and loaches when he was young, but in terms of appearance, they were simply unmatched!

At this time, the loach had tears in his eyes and seemed to be pleading.

Bubbles were constantly spitting out of his mouth, pointing in the direction of the well.

"Is this a loach in the well water? Why did it come outside? Do you want to go back?"

Gan Yu looked at the loach and fell into deep thought for a moment...

…

After a while.

Stab!

A bonfire was lit, and a loach was skewered on a branch and roasted in the fire until it was sizzling with oil.

"Although this loach is small, it still has a few ounces of meat... It's a pity that I didn't catch a few more and give them to my mother to taste..."

Gan Yu touched his growling belly and muttered to himself.

The warehouse is real and knows honor and disgrace.

He doesn't have enough to eat every day now. He will naturally eat the fish he catches, otherwise, should he release it?

"Huhu..."

After a while, the grilled fish was ready. He blew in a few breaths and immediately started chewing.

I don't know why, but when I eat this loach, it tastes extremely delicious. It doesn't have any earthy smell, and there is not even any salt added, but there is an indescribable taste that echoes between the lips and teeth.

Even with just such a small amount of meat, Gan Yu felt full for the first time in his life.

He yawned and fell into a deep sleep.

In a dream.

When Gan Yu was in a daze, he saw a cloud of red and white air coming down, and then there was a handsome young man wearing a dragon and carp brocade robe and a jade crown, pointing at himself and yelling: "I am the Dragon King of the Well, you are

If you don’t fear the gods and eat my body, there will be great disaster!”

After saying that, it turned into a dark and ferocious dragon, but it was not completely transformed. There was a bulge on the top of its head, and there were no dragon claws on its abdomen. There were only four fins, and the dragon's whiskers were long and slender. It looked like a large one.

Black loach!

At this time, the dragon opened its mouth, and saw that it was filled with densely packed sharp teeth, and bit down on Gan Yu!

"ah!"

In the ruined temple, Gan Yu screamed and fell to the ground, with a big swelling on his head.

"Don't eat me, don't eat me..."

He exclaimed, got up, touched his forehead, and was stunned again.

I feel that the original pain is quickly dissipating, and even the big swelling is slowly calming down.

After Gan Yu exclaimed, he felt that his ears and eyes were clear and his mind was refreshed. The original texts of the "Tao Jing" that he had not memorized in his mind were slowly flowing through his heart, as if he had never forgotten them!

Not only that, it was as if he suddenly had an enlightenment and understood the various subtle meanings hidden in the scriptures.

"this……"

At this time, he did not feel any joy. Instead, he looked at the well and the fish bones on the ground, with fear in his eyes.

"This temple... seems to have worshiped a water god before?"

After my memory gets better, many deep-hidden memories slowly emerge from the sea of ​​consciousness.

Gan Yu came to the front of the temple and stared at the headless clay statue. He vaguely felt that he seemed to be wearing the brocade robe of dragons and carps playing in the water.

"What a disaster!"

He bit his lip, his face was extremely pale, and he rolled and crawled out of the temple...

…

"this……"

"This is so wrong with the script..."

Fang Xi, who was silently paying attention to this place with his spiritual consciousness, was also very shocked and blurted out.

According to his script, when his consciousness discovered that this unlucky loach seemed to be punished in some way, he had to enter the well as a mortal fish in order to be pardoned.

Fang Xi then deliberately mentioned in front of Gan Yu that he wanted to eat snake soup, lured Gan Yu to Niutoushan, and secretly cast a spell to knock down the jar.

Gan Yu indeed followed the script at first and came to the ruined temple and discovered the Well Dragon King.

"The next development should not be to release the Jing Dragon King and form a good relationship... Will the Jing Dragon King then give him luck, treasures... to help him take the imperial examination?"

"how so?"

Fang Xi felt as if she was laughing or crying.

I just felt that Jing Longwang was really unjust!

Of course, no matter how tortuous the process is, the result is still good.

"Even if King Jing Long is a hairy god, which is an insult to the title of Dragon King, he can still be regarded as a spiritual creature... Now that he was eaten by Gan Yu, he was immediately reborn."

"They even have the ability to have a photographic memory. It shouldn't be a big problem for people with such extraordinary talents to take the Taoist examination and promote their talents..."
