Li Chen stood proudly on the bow of the boat and shouted secretly.
I saw that the water flow connected into a line and was scattered all over the body.
It vaguely corresponds to the Big Dipper in the sky.
Under each stream of water, there is a small whirlpool, in which swimming fish are dormant.
"That's the alligator!"
"Fire!"
"Bi Xi!"
…
One by one, names were called out by the monks around him.
Each item is rare in the world.
In terms of number, it even exceeds Taigong Diaosou's five spiritual fish.
But Li Chen closed his eyes tightly, and the dull hair on his head stood up, searching like a radar.
Li Chen had never fished before.
In fact, we are looking for the characteristics of red turtle.
The Chi brothers used fishing nets to catch the fish, and Li Chen could see clearly that it hit the red croaker, but missed it.
Later, Lianshan fisherman and Kongsang fisherman also saw only the shadow of the fish but not its true form.
Until just now, when Li Sao caught her first fish, she said, "It looked big, but it became smaller when I caught it."
This is because of the line of sight, the fish in the water and on the shore look different.
The red turtle can also suddenly become bigger and smaller suddenly.
Then Li Chen suddenly had a guess.
Getting bigger and smaller may not be Chiqu's magical power.
Instead, it uses some means to cause light refraction, thus affecting human vision.
The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.
So Li Chen has been observing with the mirror.
Sure enough, he discovered the clue.
Every time this red cockroach appears, waves will appear all over it.
It seems that he deliberately confuses everyone's attention and is a little bit cover-up.
But Li Chen learned his lesson and closed his eyes directly, relying entirely on listening to the fluctuations of Mao Mao to find out.
Sure enough, he quickly discovered the other party's figure.
Li Chen curled his mouth and suddenly stretched out his right hand.
All the water lines in the sky fell back, and all the fish in the water dispersed.
"Oh! Why did you let it go!"
"This prodigal monk, even if he only has one, he is worth a fortune!"
"Isn't there another one?"
"Why does it look like it's empty down there?"
Li Chen turned a deaf ear and tightened his grip on the last water line, but there was indeed nothing down there.
Even Li Sao next to her was anxious: "Alas, what's going on, senior brother?"
"Why did you give up?"
"It's over, it's over, only the last one is left, but it's still empty."
Li Sao was so angry that she jumped up and down, but the Grand Duke Diaosou next to him smiled happily: "Little monk, you accept, accept, accept~"
Li Chen's expression remained as usual, and he smiled and said, "Senior, don't be anxious, it's not over yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining water line fell into the palm of his hand.
At the other end, a whirlpool forms in the river water.
"rise!"
The whirlpool in the water condensed into a ball, and finally landed in Li Chen's hand along the waterline, still spinning slowly.
"Senior brother, what's the use of making a big water ball?"
"Seeing that a bunch of treasures are about to go into someone else's pocket."
Li Sao was furious, but Li Ge stretched out his hand to pull him.
Li Chen smiled and said nothing, just glanced at everyone.
"This is Red Rooster."
"What?"
The Chi brothers were the first to burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, I'm afraid this monk is no longer a demon."
“Hold a ball of water and insist it’s a red turtle?!”
But Mo Yi was curious, Li Chen didn't seem like a sensationalist.
Is there any mystery behind this water polo?
When I looked closer, I could only feel that the ball of water was slowly rotating, and there was nothing else.
"Little monk, do you think this is a red turtle?"
Li Chen nodded.
At this time, Taigong Diaosou said slightly: "Hey, little monk, monks should admit defeat."
"If you can't afford to lose, I'll give you the green gold and double qin.
But it’s not very clever of you to refer to a deer as a horse and make something out of nothing.”
"Create something out of nothing?"
Li Chen laughed and said, "Senior, please watch again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chen's right hand turned into a claw, and there was only a 'bang' sound.
A water ball exploded from the center of Li Chen's palm.
After the water splashed, a small red fish was lying in his hand, flopping up and down.
"Red Rooster!"
There was an exclamation on the deck.
The little red fish in Li Chen's hand was no bigger than a palm, and it exactly looked like the legendary red cockroach.
In fact, Li Chen had been observing Chiqu from the very beginning.
Every time it appears, its body shape is not of normal size.
Sometimes it is more than three feet long, dyeing the surrounding area into red waves.
Sometimes it's only a few feet long, and a small splash pops up on the water and then disappears.
So it either has great or small magical powers.
Or there is a secret way to confuse the vision.
And finally Li Chen discovered the key.
bubble!
The red turtle can spit out bubbles to deflect the surrounding light, thus forming a virtual image that enlarges or shrinks!
Just now when Taigong Diaosou used the word "Whoever wishes to take the bait".
In fact, the red turtle is already hanging in the air, but it has wrapped itself in bubbles.
So when the light hits the bubble, it will be refracted to other places, thus achieving the effect of invisibility!
Therefore, Taigong Diaosou did not see its true form, so it escaped disaster.
At this time, Li Chen directly pinched the bubble and the light returned again.
There is nowhere for the red turtle to escape.
"It's really a red turtle!"
Taigong Diaosou was stunned.
He never thought that this red turtle could be so well hidden.
But the little monk in front of him was able to catch it.
Time is also destiny.
Everything is God's will.
Thinking of this, Taigong Diaosou sighed: "Young monk, you have a great opportunity."
"I admit defeat."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves, turned around and left.
But Li Chen suddenly stopped the other party: "Senior, wait a minute."
"The young monk was able to catch the red croaker today, but half of the credit was due to his predecessors."
"If it hadn't been for the senior's 'wish to take the bait', the young monk would never have discovered the secret of this."
Taigong Diaosou was grateful.
How could he not see that Li Chen was trying to save face for him, and he was very grateful in his heart.
Li Chen summoned a water ball to cover the red turtle, and he turned around and picked out the 'Lazuli Double Qin' and the 'Six Tao Fragments' from the pile of pledges, and handed them to Taigong Diaosou.
"Senior, please keep these."
"It's the reward for catching the red croaker this time."
Taigong Diaosou was slightly startled. He did not expect that this young monk not only did not take credit for anything, but also knew how to take advantage of him.
"Hahaha, little monk, it's really interesting."
Taigong Diaosou stroked his beard, laughed loudly, and without being polite, picked up the piece of "green gold and double qin" spiritual jade and put it in his arms.
But the "Six Taoist Fragments" was not taken away.
"'Lazuli Shuangqin' I just wanted to give you a favor, so I refused."
After saying that, he took out a token from his arms and placed it on the "Fragment of Six Taoist Scrolls".
“This is the ‘Contest Order’ of our Jixia Academy.
If you have the opportunity to come to Jixia Academy, I would like you to try my Jixia ‘student wine’.”
Li Chen was stunned when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, the ordinary-looking fisherman in front of him actually came from Jixia Academy where a hundred schools of thought contended.
Now put your hands together and salute: "Amitabha."
"Thank you for your kindness, senior. I will definitely go there then."
"good!"
But there was a long roar, and Taigong Diaosou had already escaped into the clouds.
