Chapter 360 The golden scales are the things in the pool, they will turn into dragons when they meet the situation
Chapter 360: Are golden scales just a thing in a pond? They turn into dragons when encountering storms [6,000 words, two updates, please give me your monthly vote!]
This turtle is only in the Golden Core realm, how can he become the river god in this big river?
"No, no, sir, the little turtle is just a subordinate of the River God, he doesn't even have a title." The turtle demon explained quickly.
"I'm calling the River God, why are you here?" Zhou He said expressionlessly.
"My lord, please forgive me. Our river god went out to visit friends a few days ago and has not returned yet." The turtle demon replied.
"Going out to visit friends?" Zhou He didn't believe it.
"Yes, sir, I have gone out to visit friends. What can I do for you? If the little turtle can do it, I will definitely help you with all my money." said the turtle demon.
After Zhou He pondered for a moment, he said, "What's your name?"
"The little turtle's name is Kame Chitose." Kame Chitose said.
"Kame Chitose, that's a good name. Where did the river god go to visit his friends?" Zhou He asked again.
"Lord River God didn't tell Little Turtle." Turtle Chitose said.
"Forget it, since you don't want to say anything, I'll just watch it myself." Zhou He suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped Kame Chitose on the head.
The next moment, Kame Chitose froze on the spot.
After a while, Zhou He slowly took back his hand and frowned slightly: "I actually went out to visit friends."
"Sir, Little Turtle really didn't lie." Turtle Chitose came to his senses and was so frightened that he knelt down on the river.
The person in front of him can search his memory without hurting his soul. He is definitely a big shot that cannot be messed with.
Even if his master, the River God, comes, he must bow respectfully.
"Hurry and give me something that your river god often uses. Remember, don't fool me." Zhou He said.
"Yes, yes, little turtle is going now."
The thousand-year-old turtle did not dare to delay and quickly sank into the water.
Within three minutes, Kame Chitose floated to the surface of the river again, holding a teacup in his hand.
"Sir, this teacup is the teacup that Lord River God often uses to drink tea. Is it okay?" Kame Chitose said.
"But, it's none of your business, go down."
Zhou He flicked his sleeves and disappeared.
Kame Chitose was left standing alone on the river, with the teacup in his hand disappearing.
…
Zhou He's figure appeared on the shore.
Looking at the tea cup in his hand, he immediately thought about it and recited the law silently.
The next moment, a thin line invisible to the naked eye appeared and extended into the distance.
This thin line can only be seen by Zhou He. This is the spell he cast to find people.
Zhou He followed the thin line and looked over there, and was suddenly stunned.
I saw that the end of the thin line was actually a few hundred meters away.
"Didn't you say you went to visit a friend?" Zhou He murmured in surprise.
Zhou He walked over and saw a group of people gathered around the river embankment.
And the end of the thin line is in the center of this group of people.
Among the crowd was an old fisherman who was over sixty years old and carrying a bamboo hat.
In front of the old fisherman, there is a large wooden basin.
In the wooden basin, there is a fat golden carp.
The carp was flapping its tail, opening its mouth and spitting out water from time to time.
"This is..." A trace of doubt flashed in Zhou He's eyes.
Because what the thin line connects is the golden carp in this wooden basin.
"I've already closed the net, and I haven't caught much. However, the water suddenly became turbid."
"According to my many years of fishing experience, there must be something big underwater."
"So, the old man dropped the net again, and when he was about to close it, he almost capsized my fishing boat."
"In the end, I pulled it in and caught this big guy." The old fisherman stroked his beard and looked proud.
"Whether it's scales, fins or tail, they are all golden."
"I have been fishing for decades and have never seen anything so rare and precious."
The old fisherman said with emotion.
"It's truly amazing."
"I have been fishing for 20 years, and I have never seen such a catch."
"Yes, I am really lucky."
People on the side started talking one after another.
At this time, someone asked: "My father-in-law, how much do you plan to sell this golden carp for?"
Hearing this, the old fisherman raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his throat, and said, "This golden carp weighs about forty pounds, and is covered in gold from top to bottom. It is extremely rare."
"If you keep it at home, give it to the housekeeper, or invite relatives and friends to a birthday party, it will definitely be very honorable."
"Old man, please stop bragging and tell me, how much does it cost?" the man asked again.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm going to sell this golden carp for ten taels of silver."
The old fisherman thought to himself: "Sold for ten taels of silver, I can buy my grandson a wife and a big house."
"hiss!"
When the price was announced, everyone present took a breath of cold air.
This is ten taels of silver, which is a lot of wealth.
The background of "Green Snake" is in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Nowadays, there is no war with the north, so it is considered a peaceful era.
In this era, one tael of silver could buy four stones of grain.
One stone is equivalent to about one hundred and twenty kilograms.
One hundred and twenty kilograms of grain, if you save some.
Enough to feed a family of three for a month.
And four stones, that is four hundred and eighty kilograms.
And the ten taels of silver mentioned by Lao Yi are enough to buy 4,800 kilograms of grain.
If you take it to modern times and calculate it, although it can't be compared, in these ancient times, food was the most important.
"What? Do you look like twelve?"
"Why don't you go and grab it!"
"It's really a lion's mouth. You want ten taels of silver for a fish?"
"Ten taels of silver can buy a luxurious mansion. Isn't this fish inlaid with gold?"
"That's right, that's right, I've seen fish bigger than this. Forty pounds is only over five hundred cents. You're asking for dozens of times more."
"Oh, whoever buys it is a fool."
The onlookers on the side laughed at the old fisherman one after another.
Zhou He looked at the golden carp in the basin and was puzzled.
Obviously, obviously this golden carp is just an ordinary carp.
There is no trace of evil spirit, no trace of aura.
However, the result of his searching technique was this golden carp.
"Is this golden carp the god of this river?" Zhou He's mouth twitched slightly.
"That old turtle, how dare you lie to me? Aren't you afraid that I will peel off his turtle shell?"
"Wait." Suddenly an idea flashed through Zhou He's mind.
He had a guess.
This golden carp should be undergoing a tribulation.
Taoist books record that there are three disasters, nine disasters and ten calamities.
Monsters are naturally no different. In fact, they suffer more disasters than humans.
Although Zhou He doesn't know the rules of the green snake world, they should be similar.
Just like in "Journey to the West", when Sun Wukong was learning martial arts, Patriarch Bodhi taught him the thirty-six transformations of Tiangang and the seventy-two transformations of earth evil, just to avoid disaster.
The three disasters are natural disasters, earthly disasters and man-made disasters.
Natural disasters include wind, fire, thunder, lightning, etc. Of course, the most common among them is thunder tribulation.
The Earth Tribulation means that the magic power is gone and is imprisoned by the power of heaven and earth. Even if one reaches the heavens, he will return to his original form.
In "The Legend of the White Snake", Bai Suzhen lost all her magic power and turned into a little white snake when she was undergoing a catastrophe.
It was precisely because of this that he was rescued by Xu Xian in his previous life, and that was how Bai Suzhen came to be at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain...
During the period of crossing the earth, the dangers were extremely dangerous, and the disasters suffered were difficult to escape.
As for the man-made disaster, it is easy to understand, that is, he was killed by the human race.
Then, this golden carp must be experiencing an earthly calamity.
At this time, he has no magic power. If he is bought by others and really put on the table, it will be a man-made disaster.
The nine difficulties are the nine difficulties on the path of spiritual practice.
There are nine types in total: forced food and clothing, invitations from elders, entanglement with love, entanglement with fame and fortune, disasters, constraints from blind teachers, reckless guidance, laziness of will, and wasted years.
The ten tribulations are the ten kinds of tribulations, the tribulation of inner demons, the tribulation of swords and weapons, the tribulation of life and death, the tribulation of love, etc.
Thinking of the love tribulation, Zhou He thought of the white snake who died under the Thunder Tower in the play "Green Snake". It didn't mean that he died of the love tribulation.
When White Snake meets Xu Xian, it may be a love disaster arranged by God!
To sum up, it shows that the disaster is extremely dangerous.
Therefore, when many monsters are going through a calamity, they seek shelter from noble people with profound blessings to tide them over.
The golden carp in the basin is now an ordinary carp that is ready to be slaughtered.
However, his intelligence was still there, and he was naturally extremely anxious. He could only pray that someone noble could come to save him.
As for why Zhou He didn't discover it, it was naturally because of the power of heaven and earth.
The power of heaven and earth imprisoned Jin Li's body and aura, so Zhou He was naturally unable to notice it.
I just think that this is a bigger and rarer golden carp.
"Do you want to buy it? If not, I will take it to Tianfang Pavilion in the city."
"It's a place frequented by dignitaries, so it will definitely fetch a good price."
The old fisherman was not angry at all at the ridicule of these people, but he said with a smile.
"Ten taels of silver, I bought it." Zhou He walked out from the crowd.
No nonsense, I lost ten taels of silver directly.
The old fisherman took the silver and after confirming that it was genuine, he suddenly looked overjoyed.
"Thank you very much, sir. This golden carp will be your property."
The old fisherman started to pack his things with a smile.
With ten taels of silver in hand, he couldn't wait to go home.
However, at this moment, a sharp voice came: "Wait a minute, I want this fish."
But he saw a fat man in a brocade robe and three fierce-looking servants pushing through the crowd.
"Old guy, I want this fish. Tomorrow is my old man's 90th birthday."
"The old man likes to eat fish the most. With my craftsmanship, I can surely please the old man by cooking a full fish feast."
This fat man is the cook of the Li Mansion, and he came out with several servants to purchase ingredients for tomorrow's banquet.
"Cook Li, this young master has already bought the golden carp." The old fisherman secretly said something bad, but he still nodded and bowed.
The Li family is simply lawless in Qiantang County, the bullies among bullies.
Fortunately, I have already received the money, otherwise, if I had come earlier, this golden carp would have been wasted.
I can't get a penny, and maybe I feel I'm short, so I'll ask you to get some fresh fish from the lower river.
Chef Li ignored the old fisherman and looked at Zhou He, looking up and down.
He noticed that this man looked noble, but he was wearing strange clothes, had short hair, and was unfamiliar to him.
When he thought that this was an outsider, Chef Li became more courageous.
No matter how powerful you are outside, when you come to Qiantang County, if you are a dragon, you have to be coiled by me, and if you are a tiger, you have to lie down obediently.
"You two, hold the fish." Chef Li immediately gave the order.
When the old fisherman saw this scene, his heart suddenly tightened.
He glanced at Chef Li, then at Zhou He, grabbed his things, turned around and left.
The money has been obtained, and the rest of the things are no longer the old fisherman's business. It would be better to go home as soon as possible.
Not only the old fisherman, but also everyone watching on the sidelines dispersed in a hurry and left in a hurry, for fear of getting into trouble.
Of course, they didn't go far, but watched the excitement not far away.
"This must be Jin Li's man-made disaster." Zhou He thought in his mind.
This Chef Li is someone who is not easy to mess with at first glance. He is really not good at being an incompetent person.
After thinking about it, Zhou He decided to become the golden carp's nobleman.
"This fish belongs to me. It's best for you two not to touch it."
Just when the two servants were crouching down and preparing to pick up the wooden basin, Zhou He said calmly.
Seeing Zhou He's calm demeanor, Chef Li couldn't help but worry that the other party had a big background.
Then he took a step forward, bowed to Zhou Hehe, and said politely: "Master, tomorrow is my 90th birthday, the old man of the Li family. Can you all make friends and give me this fish?"
"I can return the ten taels of silver you just gave to the old fisherman."
With that said, Chef Li took out his money bag.
After taking out ten taels of silver, Chef Li was also very heartbroken.
However, it doesn't matter. After all, with the strength of the Li family, it is not easy to find the old fisherman in Qiantang County.
After buying the ingredients and sending someone to retrieve the ten taels of silver from the old fisherman, there is no loss.
"No need, I don't like making friends with strangers."
Zhou He replied with a cold expression.
Immediately, Zhou He picked up the wooden basin, turned around and walked towards the river.
"You make me angry!"
Although Chef Li is a cook, as an old man of the Li family, he has served three generations of the Li family.
He also has a certain degree of prestige and has been dominating for more than 20 years.
Seeing Zhou He like this, how could he endure his violent temper?
It doesn’t matter whether you are a learned scholar or not, or how old you are, just beat you and that’s it.
"Fight, fight for me, take the fish back and save his life." Chef Li scolded immediately.
When the three servants heard this, they immediately laughed ferociously, twitched the short sticks at their waists and rushed towards Zhou He.
They don't care who Zhou He is, the emperor dares to kill him as long as he is ordered to do so!
This is the private slave who has been raised since childhood.
Seeing this, Zhou He turned around and shouted: "Get out!"
It was like a thunder that exploded in several people's ears.
"ah……"
Several ferocious servants were instantly frightened out of their wits.
He stepped back continuously, then sat down on the ground, looking at Zhou He in horror.
The crotch was wet, but Zhou He's word "get out" scared him to the point of peeing.
Not only these servants, but also Chef Li looked like this, even more unbearable, and actually...
…
Zhou He came to the riverside, looked at the golden carp in the wooden basin, and said: "The golden scales are not the things in the pond. When the storm happens, the dragon will change. I hope you have a good future."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou He tipped the wooden basin over.
Plop! A sound.
The fat golden carp submerged into the river.
Zhou He didn't leave either, he just stood by the river and waited quietly.
After a while, waves splashed in the river, and it started to churn violently.
The wind was howling, the waves were rolling, and the waves were turbulent.
Boom!
There was a muffled thunder explosion in the sky.
In just a few breaths, the sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Large swaths of dark clouds filled the area for hundreds of miles.
At the same time, the spiritual energy on the river became extremely violent.
Seeing this, Zhou He raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
It seems that he guessed correctly.
"Huh? The sun just came out, why did it thunder all of a sudden?"
"The wind is so strong and the clouds are so thick. It looks like there will be a heavy rain soon."
"This weather is really weird..."
The people watching the excitement in the distance felt a little surprised.
"Yan~~!"
At this moment, a loud and majestic dragon roar resounded throughout the sky.
This voice seems not to be noticed by ordinary people.
The next moment, a huge figure was seen jumping out of the river, rising into the air and flying towards the sky.
Deer antlers, snake body, lizard legs, eagle claws, snake tail, golden scales, this is completely a golden dragon.
The golden dragon, about twenty feet long, submerged into the dark clouds, shuttled back and forth several times, and finally flew downwards.
When it was about to land, water mist filled the golden dragon's body, completely covering its body.
When it landed, the mist dissipated, revealing a human figure.
This is a rather majestic middle-aged man, wearing a golden robe and a pair of dragon horns on his head.
He came to Zhou He, bowed his hands deeply, and bowed deeply towards Zhou He with an excited expression.
"My benefactor was released and granted the title of Zhengzheng. Today, I have overcome the calamity and transformed into a dragon. I thank my benefactor for saving my life. Li Tianyi has met my benefactor."
However, before Zhou He could reply, a notification sound actually appeared in his mind.
[Congratulations to the driver for completing the hidden order, ‘With the help of noble people, you can overcome the disaster and transform into a dragon’! Please check the driver’s own details for details. 】
"Hidden order? What the hell is this?" Zhou He was suddenly surprised.
However, now is not the time to check.
Zhou He looked at Li Tianyi and said with a smile: "I, Zhou He, just meet me at the right time. There is no need for this."
"I have met my benefactor." Upon hearing this, Li Tian bowed to Zhou He again.
"By the way, what you said earlier requires me to rectify it, what does that mean?" Zhou He asked.
When Li Tian heard this, his expression suddenly became excited again.
Li Tianyi was originally a carp spirit who had practiced cultivation in the Qiantang River for thousands of years.
The catastrophe was over decades ago.
And this earthly calamity is already the last day. As long as this day is passed safely, the earthly calamity can be overcome.
But unexpectedly, he was caught by the old fisherman.
I am extremely grateful to Zhou He for his help.
However, when Zhou He released the animals, he said: "Isn't Jinling like an object in a pond? It turns into a dragon when it encounters a storm."
It was precisely this sentence that allowed Li Tianyi to receive the gift of heaven. After entering the water, he directly awakened his bloodline and transformed into a golden dragon.
With just an ordinary word, one can receive a gift from heaven. Li Tianyi was sure that the benefactor in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person and must have a great background.
Generally, when a demon seeks a title from someone with profound blessings, it may turn into a dragon with just a word.
However, to achieve this level, even the current emperor may not be able to do it.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Hena's casual words allowed him to receive the gift of heaven, and he jumped over the dragon gate and turned into a golden dragon.
Therefore, at this moment, Li Tianyi has regarded Zhou He as a great power, or a reincarnation of a god or Buddha.
Seeing that Li Tianyi didn't answer, Zhou He asked again: "There is a saying in the world, which is called the fish leaping over the dragon's gate."
"If a carp wants to transform into a dragon, it has to jump over the dragon gate. I have never seen you jump over the dragon gate."
When Li Tian heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "It is not only the fish that jumps over the dragon gate that can transform into a dragon, but the gift of heaven is the simplest way."
"It means that my benefactor is so blessed. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to transform into a dragon."
After saying this, Li Tianyi looked grateful.
After Zhou He heard this, he spoke again: "If I hadn't said that, would you still be able to transform into a dragon?"
When Li Tian heard this, he did not answer immediately, but after thinking for a moment, he said:
"From ancient times to the present, the practice of the demon clan has been extremely difficult, and the ultimate goal of my carp clan's training is to transform into a dragon. What my benefactor said before about the fish leaping over the dragon gate is not wrong."
"In ancient times, there was a dragon gate. Therefore, our ancestors only needed to jump over the dragon gate, no matter what their cultivation level was, they could transform into dragons in one day."
"However, one day in ancient times, Longmen suddenly disappeared, and it has not appeared until now."
"Without Dragon Gate, we can only practice step by step."
"I have spent time accumulating cultivation and climbing step by step, but I never expected that my benefactor would give me the title with just one word. Tianyi is truly grateful."
Li Tianyi became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face turned red.
He immediately bowed his hands and bowed towards Zhou He.
Zhou He also didn't expect that his mouth could be so powerful, and a casual sentence would turn him into a dragon.
After thinking for a moment, he also had some guesses.
It should be what he did in the world of "Eternal Dragon Sword" that gave him great merit.
Merit should be carried with you, so when you come to this world, you will have profound blessings.
He was so profound that he could turn Li Tianyi into a dragon with just a casual word.
"My benefactor, this is not the place to talk. How about we go to my Dragon Palace to have a detailed discussion?" Li Tianyi suddenly said.
"Okay then, lead the way." Zhou He said with a slight smile.
Immediately, the two of them sank into the water and disappeared above the river.
The howling wind, lightning and thunder, and the dark clouds all over the sky also disappeared after the two left.
When the vision dissipated, a blind old Taoist brought two boys to the riverside.
"What a powerful mana fluctuation, huh? This is a thunder tribulation, let me do the math. The big demon has overcome the tribulation? Did it succeed?"
"Quick, take me away quickly."
The blind Taoist's complexion suddenly changed, and then he left the place under the leadership of two boys.
After the blind Taoist left, several waves of people came, including demons and monks.
When they felt the terrifying magic power above the river, their expressions changed drastically. They did not dare to stay too long and left in a hurry.
When Li Tianyi transformed into a dragon, his whole body was covered by water mist.
Coupled with the cover of the thunder and calamity aura, no one could see clearly what was going on.
Zhou He was able to see clearly because of his ability to see through the fog and the aura of thunder and calamity.
Otherwise, Zhou He could only act blind here.
