Falling Star Lake is located in the east of Baifeng Sect, one of the important water sources at the mouth of the sea thousands of miles away.
Li Ke, wearing a bamboo hat and coarse peasant clothes, walked out of the rented Xianyun car at the door and walked towards an old man and a young man who were already fishing by the lake, carrying all the fishing gear.
The old man has been sitting by the lake fishing without moving for fifty years.
The other young man is Cao Zhen, the peak master of Sibao Peak, the last peak among the Baifeng Sect.
This man inherited the position of the deceased master's peak master a few years ago, and suddenly appeared here two months ago.
Regarding Cao Zhen, when Li Ke first met him by the lake, he thought that the other person wanted to use fishing to get close to him.
This is not because she is arrogant, but as the Four Elites of the Hundred Peaks, the number one genius at the Vermillion Peak, and what others call a fairy, she has often encountered something in the past few years. In the entire Hundred Peaks Sect, not even a hundred people have used this method.
eighty.
Therefore, Li Ke initially ignored the existence of Cao Zhen.
It wasn't until one time when Cao Zhen answered a question from the disciple Bei Yan who was following her that she had a real impression of this unknown monk in the sect for the first time.
That day, the question that the teenage Bei Yan asked was about fishing with the old man next to him.
'My old uncle's fishhook is a straight hook. Should I tell him that the hook must be curved to catch fish?'
Cao Zhen, who was bored, replied casually: "The old uncle is fishing for dragons, don't disturb the old uncle."
Li Ke knew that this old man, who had been sitting by the Falling Star Lake for fifty years, as motionless as a stone sculpture, was 'fishing for dragons' because he heard about it from his master.
According to Zhuque, the master of Zhuque Peak, one of the five peaks of the Hundred Peaks Sect, the entire Hundred Peaks Sect knew that the old man was fishing for dragons, and there would be no more than ten people.
Li Ke knew that he knew the ten people the master mentioned and was definitely not the person in front of him whom he did not know, so he made a special inquiry.
After asking about it, she was shocked.
Cao Zhen, the Master of the Four Treasures Peak and the Peak Master of the Baifeng Sect, has low talent, poor strength, and a pedantic personality. He only knows how to survive with the disciples in the peak by relying on the monthly money distributed by the sect.
Two months ago, there was a quarrel with Xingyao Peak, which was ranked 95th, and the two sides agreed to fight in three months. For this reason, Xingyao Peak bet on the third-grade magma Ganoderma lucidum, and the master of Sibaofeng also bet on the town.
Peak Treasure Third Grade Spiritual Field.
Any fool can tell that Xingyao Peak is deliberately seeking trouble because of the sect's rules and wants to win the third-grade spiritual field so that they can plant the magma ganoderma they recently obtained but there is no corresponding spiritual field to plant.
As a result, Cao Zhen didn't realize it, and instead went into seclusion to practice. After half a month, he went into a state of madness and fell into a coma for two days. When he woke up, he seemed to have seen through the world that he was no longer obsessed with winning or losing, or he might have accepted his fate, and started fishing in Falling Star Lake every day.
Li Ke later considered that this Cao Zhen wanted to deliberately get close to the red-dust Taoist who looked like a stone sculpture by the lake and had not moved for fifty years and always maintained his fishing posture through fishing.
After getting along with him, I found that Cao Zhen had no intention at all and was just fishing.
After getting along silently for more than two months, Li Ke went to the Shifang Casino in Feng Nei and bought Cao Zhen's five hundred taels of spiritual stones to win, even though he knew that Cao Zhen did not have the strength to win the bet.
Now that she saw that Cao Zhen was still so unhurried and his pace of life was very much like that of a mortal official who devoted himself to his career and retired, she wondered whether her five hundred taels of spiritual stones had been wasted.
Li Ke came to her fishing spot by the lake, took out her small fishing bench from her bracelet, and took out her fishing rod to prepare for fishing.
"Don't lower your swing yet, wait for me."
Cao Zhen, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, held a fishing rod and yawned lazily. He stared at the fish float floating on the water with slightly distracted eyes and raised his hand to stop it.
Li Ke didn't expect that after two months of silent and tacit understanding with Cao Zhen, the first words he said to her would be this.
According to the tacit understanding between the two of them in the past, when Li Ke started fishing, Cao Zhen would tacitly stop fishing in advance.
Today, this tacit understanding was actually broken...
"Beauty, wait a minute, wait a minute." Cao Zhen stared at the fish float and cheered up, and casually explained a few words to Li Ke beside him, "The fish I want to catch is about to be hooked. If there is a second fish in the same water area,
It’s a fishhook. The colorful phoenix won’t bite the hook. You wait and I will. If the fish scares away this time, I will have to wait for another two months..."
Before Cao Zhen finished speaking, the fish float gently fell downwards for several times, and suddenly it sank to the bottom of the water with a vertical force!
Cao Zhen's eyes, which had never been very energetic, suddenly lit up. He quickly lifted the fishing rod in his hand, and the fish, which was about a foot long and covered in golden scales, with only its tail shining with colorful lights, was pulled out of the water.
‘Colorful Phoenix Tail?’
Li Ke looked at Yi Ersan happily busy, and she became more and more suspicious that she had made a mistake. Is this person really trying to catch colorful phoenix tails? Those five hundred taels of spiritual stones were probably wasted...
Colorful phoenix tail is indeed rare! But its only function is to remove the fishy smell and improve the freshness when cooked with other fish.
Li Ke was very sure that Cao Zhen had been fishing for more than two months just for this colorful phoenix tail.
But the more certain she was, the more it was Cao Zhen's purpose, and the more she couldn't understand the other party. Just to satisfy her oral desire at the critical moment of the battle?
As the colorful phoenix tail emerged from the water, the old fishing man sitting by the lake like a stone sculpture, the fishing line on the fishing rod in his hand created a ripple in the water that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Cao Zhen completely ignored the suspicious look from Li Ke next to him. He had been sleeping here every day for two months and was waiting for this moment!
Cao Zhen happily packed up his fishing gear and was about to go back to make elixirs and take medicine to greatly improve his cultivation. However, he found that the way in front of him was blocked by a big black cat.
"I forgot about you." Cao Zhen was in a good mood and took out a fish from the fish basket and gave it to the pet that Li Ke always brought with him when fishing. Then he glanced at Li Ke who was starting to fish in an orderly manner.
"Leopard-headed carp, try four earthworms as bait." Cao Zhen told the record about leopard-headed carp in the Dadong Scripture.
Li Ke was fishing patiently, but she was a little surprised when the other party suddenly spoke. Then she became confused about the four-headed earthworm. She had never heard that earthworms have four heads. Could it be a special kind of monster? Why "Ten Thousand Demons Spectrum"
There is no record in .
Cao Zhen noticed the confusion in Li Ke's eyes, and made a cutting motion with his palm, saying "cut it off", and quickened his pace to catch the Xianyun train on Route 7 of Baifeng Sect, wanting to return to Sibao.
Feng, you have to take the Xianyun train on Line 7 and then transfer to Line 3. It takes half an hour to get home.
If you can't catch this Xianyun bus, you will have to wait another hour for the next one.
Li Ke pondered for a moment and then realized that the so-called four-headed earthworm means cutting off an earthworm. When the wound heals, it is equivalent to having four heads. It turns out that this is a four-headed earthworm.
