"Dad, if we go out on the boat a few more times in the future, maybe we can catch another snow-white koi, and then we can change it into a jade pendant like dad." Lu Pingxing said excitedly.
"The white snow koi is a spiritual creature, not a cabbage. It's so easy to catch, silly boy!" Lu Yong was amused and scolded with a smile.
"Dad, take out your jade pendant and see the difference." Lu Ping said with a smile.
Lu Yong took out a red kit from his arms, took out a white jade pendant and handed it to Lu Pingxing. After Lu Pingxing took it, he put it in his hand and compared it with the wooden pendant he had just received to see the difference. p>
This white jade pendant is the same size as the wooden spirit pendant. It has a portrait of Fairy Jian Yue carved on the front, and a Bagua array on the back. There are two characters "Lu Yong" in the array. It is just more exquisite than the wooden spirit pendant, and the portrait of the fairy is more realistic.<
/p>
This white jade pendant is also a type of Jian Yue Ling Pei, but it is more advanced. In addition to its simple protective effect, long-term wear can also strengthen the body.
The jade spiritual pendant is carved from Qingtian white jade. Qingtian white jade can emit a natural jade energy. After this jade energy is absorbed by the mortal body, it has the magical effect of strengthening the body and strengthening the body.
The jade Jane Moon Lingpei is very rare and will only be given to pilgrims who have made significant contributions to Taoist temples. Old Man Lu only got this jade Jane Moon Lingpei through good luck.
Lu Yong is a fisherman. He was born in Hongyan Village next to Fusha Lake. All the villagers make a living by fishing. Lu Yong is considered a good man in the village. Every time he goes out on the boat, he has gained a lot.<
/p>
He knows exactly where the water in the huge Fusha Lake is tight and where there may be fish hidden in any corner.
Lu Yong clearly remembers that it was drizzling that day, and many villagers were reluctant to get out of the boat. Lu Yong had a simple breakfast and swam towards the center of the lake with his small fishing boat.
Fusha Lake is extremely vast, with a width of nearly 800 miles. At this time, the lake surface was covered with a thin layer of rain and fog, and only Lu Yong's lone boat could be seen on the large lake surface.
Lu Yong was wearing a raincoat, standing at the stern of the boat, his hands were red and struggling to hold the bamboo pole forward. It was already winter, and the drizzle fell on his face, which was biting cold. Lu Yong's sallow face was covered with wrinkles.
Sad face.
Lu Yong has two daughters. He has always wanted a son, but he has never been able to conceive, which makes Lu Yong worried to death.
For this reason, Lu Yong often went to Gaoyang Taoist Temple to offer incense and pray, hoping that Fairy Jian Yue could bless him to have a child in his later years.
Lu Yong was just an ordinary fisherman, and his family was poor. He often went to Taoist temples to pray and donated a lot of money for sesame oil, which made his life even more difficult.
But Lu Yong gritted his teeth and persisted. He lived frugally and often went out early to fish and came back late, which was more difficult than anyone else.
Because Lu Yong is an only son, the old Lu family wants him to continue the family line. He is nearly fifty years old and still has no children. How can he not be anxious? Lu Yong is afraid that after his hand is cut off, the old Lu family will have spare money.
, then ran to Gaoyang Taoist Temple.
Lu Yong put down the bamboo draft, and the wooden boat slowly floated forward with the current. He picked up the heavy twine fishing net, first dipped it into the lake water to soak it, then lifted it up, trimmed it slightly, and then threw it out to the lake surface.
The fishing net turned into a large circular net and was spread on the water surface, slowly sinking. When the fishing net sank to the bottom of the lake, Lu Yong slowly pulled it up and closed the fishing net little by little.
After the fishing net was closed, Lu Yong began to pull it upwards with force. Feeling the weight of the fishing net in his hands based on experience, Lu Yong showed a look of disappointment on his face. The fishing net was too light, and the net could not produce much, only three or two small fish.<
/p>
The fishing net slowly emerged from the water, and just as Lu Yong had guessed, a few small fish were scattered on the net. Lu Yong tried hard to lift the entire net out of the water to prepare for the next net.
Suddenly, the water surface in the net fluttered and splashed, and Lu Yong felt happy. This was a big fish entering the net! Lu Yong quickly clenched the fishing net in his hand, and with a sudden lift, the entire fishing net was lifted out of the water. p>
In the fishing net, a one-foot-large fish with a bright red body was jumping in the boat. It was covered by the fishing net and could not jump high. This big fish probably weighed ten kilograms and looked very plump. Its body was red and there were
There are white patterns, like printed snowflakes.
Lu Yong suddenly got excited and pounced on the big fish, his face showing surprise and excitement. The big fish he caught looked exactly like the rumored "Snow White Koi".<
/p>
Lu Yong couldn't believe that he had caught a "Snow White Koi" in his net. He slapped himself. He was not dreaming. Lu Yong showed a silly smile.
There is a spiritual fish "Snow White Koi" in Fusha Lake. Occasionally fishermen catch it and offer it to Gaoyang Taoist Temple. Then they can get rich rewards from Gaoyang Taoist Temple. They will be given a lot of silver coins, a jade simple moon pendant, and they can also pay tribute to the Taoist temple.
If you make a wish, Taoist Temple will try its best to fulfill it.
This legend has been heard by Lu Yong since he was a child, and it is indeed true. Ten years ago, a fisherman family in Yulin Village not far away caught a snow-white koi, presented it to Gaoyang Taoist Temple, and received a large reward. Lu Yong didn't have time to think about fishing. He rowed his small fishing boat excitedly to the dock next to Gaoyang Taoist Temple without even returning home. When he arrived at Gaoyang Taoist Temple, he was identified by the immortal master as a white snow koi.
Lu Yong dedicated the snow-white koi to the Taoist temple on the spot, and expressed his long-cherished wish to the immortal master, that is, he wanted to have a son in his later years so that he could continue the Lu family's incense.
The immortal master expressed his understanding. After Yun Gong checked Lu Yong's body, he gave Lu Yong two elixirs.
One pill was called "Songzi Pill", which was given to Lu Yong. The immortal promised that after taking this pill, he would have a baby. The other pill was called "Pregnancy Preservation Pill", and Lu Yong was told to take it home and give it to the elderly at home.
My wife takes it and it has excellent health effects.
Snow White Koi is a second-grade primary spirit beast. It is not aggressive and has natural water-bending skills. It swims very fast in the water and is difficult to catch.
Snow White Koi's meat is delicious and can be eaten directly or used as medicine. Moreover, White Snow Koi's body contains a koi essence. After being eaten and absorbed, it can greatly dissolve the Qi and sense pulses, helping cultivators to quickly advance from the fourth level of Qi training.
Go to the fifth level of Qi training.
Because of such mysterious characteristics, Snow Koi is extremely rare and often sells for sky-high prices in the market. Only then did Gaoyang Taoist Temple make a promise to give large rewards to those who offer Snow Koi.
The immortal master did not break his promise. After the couple took the elixir, they soon became pregnant with Lu Pingxing. After this incident, Lu Yong became more and more convinced of Gaoyang Taoist Temple and would go there to offer sacrifices during every year and festival.
"Dad, let's go in!" Lu Pingxing played with the jade pendant for a while and then said to his father, interrupting Old Man Lu's memories.
The two followed the crowd into Fushan Hall. Fushan Hall is the canteen of Gaoyang Taoist Temple. All Taoist priests' food is provided by Fushan Hall. Fushan Hall also provides free vegetarian meals for pilgrims who come to the temple to pray for blessings, at noon and afternoon.
One meal each.
Fushan Hall is built with blue bricks and red tiles. It is spacious, bright and relatively simple. It is not as magnificent as other Taoist palaces. The inner hall of Fushan Hall is very large, filled with tables and chairs. Long tables and benches are organized into one, and can accommodate thousands of people.
People eat at the same time.
At this time, nearly half of the tables and chairs in the hall were filled with pilgrims, and it was very lively. Old man Lu took Lu Pingxing to the front hall first and lined up to receive the vegetarian meal.
The front hall is the kitchen, which is separated from the inner hall by a wooden wall. There are dozens of windows on the wooden wall, through which pilgrims can receive a delicious vegetarian meal.
Today's vegetarian meal was very rich, including a bowl of white porridge, two yellow steamed buns, and a plate of pickles. Old Man Lu took Lu Pingxing with him in a familiar manner, and soon received the vegetarian meal. The two of them carried wooden trays and found an empty seat to sit down.
, get ready to enjoy this exquisite vegetarian meal.
The white porridge is thickened by boiling millet, and the yellow steamed buns are steamed until soft, and are served with spicy and sour pickles. The pilgrims around are eating them with gusto. On weekdays, the old man in Lu cannot afford this kind of refined grains, and all he eats is thick flour.
Wild vegetables and the like can only be lavished during the holidays.
