Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.
According to Lu Yixiang's past experience, there is rarely any water source on Sanyang Peak. Even if there is, it is definitely not a gurgling river, but an inconspicuous stream.
At first, Xia Ze thought so too, until he happened to see a faint aura of fresh water emitting from somewhere while chatting with Ayu, so he walked to the source with the idea of giving it a try.
As expected, at the end of the water's spiritual energy, there was a lush green bamboo. Under the faint moonlight, the bamboo shadows were swaying. A gust of wind blew gently, blowing down seven or eight bamboo leaves, and at the same time, it also brought cool and moist moisture.
Xia Ze followed the path among the bamboo forests and was still seven or eight steps away from the pool. He could hear the sound of gurgling water, as clear and sweet as the collision of jade. The pool seemed to flow down from the southwest, on the winding river.
, there are twisted canine-like rocks protruding from the bottom of the clear pool water, like small islands isolated from the world.
He found a relatively high and stable place, sat cross-legged, took out the fishing rod from the palm of his hand, and fished silently.
There were probably more than a hundred fish swimming in the pond, swimming freely in the pond full of moonlight and stars. For a moment, it was hard to tell where was the sky and where was the water.
Xia Ze couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It would be great if he could paint this magnificent scenery. Then he would send the painting to Mu Tao and Lu Ying, so that he could see this scenery in vain.
.
Xia Ze waited for a long time, but none of the fish in the water seemed to want to bite the hook. Even a good fisherman like him couldn't help but feel a little impatient. He stood up and happened to see a fruit tree under the stone platform where he was sitting.
The fallen almond trees, like welcoming pines, skim the water.
From time to time, red carp jumped out of the water and bit into the apricots on the branches, but without exception, the ripe apricots did not move at all, and the fish had no choice but to fall back into the water with a splash of water.
Xia Ze shook his head. When he went out just now, he just wanted to try his luck, so he didn't bring the local bait in the basket. If he had made a nest with bait first, he was sure to catch any fish.
This apricot has whetted the appetite of the fish in the pond. A freshly dug earthworm may not be able to catch the eye of the fish, so I will probably return in vain tonight. But it doesn't matter, Xia Ze smiled, this apricot tree
Top it with plenty of apricots and use it as an after-meal snack.
Xia Ze jumped lightly from the stone platform, and then landed firmly on the apricot branch. Letting his body slide down naturally, he stretched out his arm and hooked it on the branch, and swayed lightly. In such a hug, there were seven or eight
A ripe apricot was held in his arms.
He tiptoed lightly and flew back to the stone platform. He piled the fruits aside with satisfaction and picked up the fishing rod again. At the moment, he still focused more on fishing. He was going to fight the fish in the pond tonight. The fisherman
There is no reason to return empty-handed.
Xia Ze recalled that when he was a child in the school, the teacher told him about a certain outsider who spent many years by the river fishing with a straight hook. Finally, a king of the dynasty came and took a fancy to his profound knowledge, and finally worshiped him as the king of the dynasty.
The story of prime ministers and prime ministers fighting against a cowardly king. Xia Ze scoffed at this story back then and was given a beating by the teacher.
Now that I have grown up and gone out into the world, I still sneer at it.
Straight hook fishing?
People in the world often just see someone rising up in adversity, and they flock to him. If he really imitated that master stupidly, he would have starved to death without waiting for Bole. Therefore, you still have to live first, only by living can you have the chance.
Endless possibilities.
After waiting for a stick of incense, Xia Ze was in a daze, and unknowingly looked at Ayu's past again. After a long time, he suddenly carefully put away the time in his eyes, looked down, and saw that the fishhook on the fishing line was somewhere.
It's time to bite the hook.
He was immediately overjoyed and stood up to prepare for the fierce battle. The fish that bit the hook was still resisting and fled little by little towards the bright moon in the water. After several struggles, the bright moon in the water was scattered again and again.
Just when Xia Ze finally waited until it was exhausted and wanted to pick up the pole, a white figure with a fish tail suddenly swam across the pond. Its long black hair fell on its smooth back, and the fish tail swayed lightly, and then it swam in the water.
He raised his head and glared at Xia Ze...
Xia Ze suddenly panicked, and the hand holding the fishing rod was trembling slightly. When he realized what he was doing, he simply turned away, his face flushed.
Seeing that Xia Ze was quite sensible, the pretty woman stretched out her slender fingers to help the exhausted fish pull out the hook, then turned over and swam to the bottom of the pond.
Xia Ze listened to the sound of splashing water and then slowly turned around, just in time to see the red fish tail splashing in the water.
"With a human body and a fish tail, is this a shark?" Xia Ze said to himself.
He once heard someone say that there are sharks overseas who live in the water like fish and never stop weaving. When their eyes weep, they can produce pearls.
The sharks shed tears at the moon, and the tears will become precious pearls. If you eat the shark flesh, you can avoid death and prolong your life. Therefore, it was hunted in large numbers by countless fishermen who coveted its value and almost disappeared. How could it appear here?
The originally calm pond water began to vibrate slightly as the mermaid girl continued to draw circles in the water. The surging undercurrent seemed to turn into thousands of sharp blades and stab Xia Ze in the next moment.
Xia Ze naturally saw the hostility of the mermaid girl in his eyes. He sat cross-legged and then calmly threw the fishhook into the water, as if none of this had happened.
Several times in a row, whenever a fish tried to bite the hook, the woman would wave the fish away, thus making Xia Ze's efforts in vain.
Xia Ze yawned, supported his cheeks with his hands, and fell into a deep sleep. The girl was enjoying playing, but seeing Xia Ze surrender and fall asleep like this, she felt a little disappointed. She was like a vindictive and provocative child.
He rowed past the fishhook, sometimes swimming on his back, and sometimes pretending to be hung by the fishhook, making babbling noises.
But Xia Ze seemed to be fast asleep and had no intention of accompanying her to relieve her boredom. She pouted a little depressed and reached out to pick the ripe apricots on her head.
Unexpectedly, the apricot tree above her head seemed to be inspired by something, as if it was going to make things difficult for her, and it suddenly grew ten feet taller.
The girl couldn't find Kyoko several times, so she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and she glared angrily and flicked her tail.
Suddenly, an apricot rolled down from the stone platform with a few grunts and fell into the water with a splash. It immediately attracted a group of fish to fight for it. The girl quickly picked up the fruit with quick eyes and took a small bite, and then she was overjoyed.
There were four apricots placed on the edge of the stone platform. Xia Ze, who pretended to be asleep, stood up, smiled, turned around and left.
The pretty girl jumped out of the water and landed on the stone platform, her fish tail turning into two feet.
The moment Xia Ze turned around, he immediately put on a red robe. Only his long, jade-like white legs could not be concealed.
She turned her head sideways, twisted her sticky long hair, and then tugged on Xia Ze's sleeves. Xia Ze was immediately frightened and wanted to run away, but the girl just pointed at Xingzi in his arms.
Xia Ze handed all the apricots in his arms to the girl and asked, "Do you want this? I'll give it to you."
The girl suddenly looked back and smiled, then took Xia Ze's hands, pulled him back to the stone platform, motioned him to sit down again, and started fishing, waving her hands to express that she would never disturb him again.
Even though Xia Ze felt extremely uncomfortable, he had no choice but to give others face, so he sat down on the stone platform without looking at him. The girl also sat on the edge of the stone platform, gnawing on apricots, and swayed her long legs happily.
contented.
The next fishing was much easier. The fish that bit the hook, one after another, were all put into the wine jar filled with pond water.
The mermaid girl suddenly looked at the moon and sang a sad and beautiful tune. Although Xia was a little shocked, she had no choice but to put away the fishing rod and silently beat the time. The mermaid was different from the elegant Mandarin spoken in Daqi and Zhou Dynasty, but the tune and singing
The beauty is astonishing.
Gradually, Xia Ze felt that the impetuousness and murderous aura that had accumulated in his heart along the way disappeared. As long as he wanted to, he seemed to be able to enter the fourth realm at any time.
It's just that he always kept in mind that the realm of martial arts requires continuous accumulation, so he suppressed this hard-won understanding.
After the girl finished singing, she smiled sweetly at Xia Ze, her curved eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as the bright moon. A teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye, and when it fell into the girl's hand, it turned into a few flawless white beads.
The girl handed the beads in her hand to Xia Ze. Just as he was about to decline, a sharp edge suddenly flew out of the bamboo forest and struck directly at the two of them.
In desperation, Xia Ze punched out, but he didn't expect that the target of the dagger was actually the mermaid girl. Xia Ze's fist only slightly weakened its strength, and finally grazed the girl's shoulder, and then
Plopped into the water.
The girl touched her shoulder with some doubts, and there was a moist bright red color on her palm. The pain on her shoulder made her react. She screamed in horror, and then she dived into the water and disappeared.
"Who? Get out of here!" Xia Ze was furious.
"Young hero, it's me." In the bamboo forest, Li Mifang supported Li Sheng and walked out slowly.
Li Sheng's face was full of flattery and he was waiting to ask for credit from Xia Ze, while Li Mifang next to her had a face full of shyness.
"Did you draw the sword just now?" Xia Ze raised his eyebrows and his tone was a little cold.
Li Sheng tried his best to put on the posture of a kindly old man and said with a smile: "Young hero, you don't know something. The girl you just talked to is actually the spirit of an extremely precious shark. The shark wept.
It can be transformed into precious pearls, and eating shark meat can also prolong your life and protect you from all kinds of diseases."
"Then I understand..." After saying this, Xia Ze quickly stepped forward, grabbed Li Sheng's neck, and threw him back hard.
With the girl's eyes full of shock, Li Sheng's old body made an arc, and with a splash, he fell into the pool of water. After a moment, he surfaced with his arms stretched out and passed out.
"Grandpa!" Li Mifang was so frightened that he lost his mind.
"You, my grandpa saved you out of good intentions, why did you hurt my grandpa!" Li Mifang's eyes were red, and she was suddenly filled with anger, and she almost stepped forward to fight him desperately.
Xia Ze suddenly became angry and said in his heart, I really appreciate you and my grandson.
"I count to three, you'd better get that old man out of this place as soon as possible. After three times, you won't have a chance to leave even if you want to!" Xia Ze said every word, with uncontrollable anger in his words.
"one!"
Li Mifang angrily stamped her feet, jumped into the pool, picked up the unconscious old man on her back, and ran away quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Xia Ze then slightly put away his murderous aura. He looked at the bottomless pool of water, and the figure of the shark girl had long disappeared. With the grandfather and grandson in the mix, he suddenly felt that the clear pool of water was all over the place.
Been soiled.
Finally, he sighed helplessly, picked a few ripe apricots, placed them by the pool, and left quietly.
In the pool, the girl covered her bleeding wound, timidly stretched out her head, then grabbed the fruit on the shore, looked at the boy's retreating figure, and sobbed. So a few more beads sank to the bottom of the pool.
Xia Ze took advantage of the moonlight and walked on the way home. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. So he cursed, almost using all the curse words he had learned in Yunxi Town over the years. How come there are so many people who like to take pictures?
Xu Liuma was so dishonest that his good mood was drained away.
I haven't even started reading yet, and I am so angry. Then, in the future, when I read more books, will I have to give in to them everywhere? I think so, from today on, I can't coddle them no matter what I do.
"I have to write a letter to ask Wu Zhui to take more care of this place, otherwise it will become Ayu and Aman's regret again..." Xia Ze murmured.
But he didn't notice that after he left, the fish jumped up and down in the pond, and then raised a dragon tail covered with dragon scales.
