Mirroring the changes

"Help Mr. Kongsang go down to rest."

"Yes."

The two disciples invited Kongsang back to the room to rest.

The old woman was in a serious mood. She walked to the edge of the deck and bowed to the river from a distance: "Junior Zhongli Qiu disturbed General Jinbo's practice here. I am sorry for the offense. Please forgive me."

As soon as these words came out, the river was surging, and golden light was shining.

It made it impossible to look directly into it.

Ah~

A beast roar, but it was a little softer.

It was obvious that General Jinbo didn't seem to take it to heart.

After all, it was his greed that caused the trouble.

Seeing this, the old woman felt a little relieved: "Thank you for your tolerance, General. Tomorrow I will ask someone to offer you a feast."

Woo~

The water hit a hundred miles, and the waves were rippling.

The golden light in the river gradually dissipated.

The old woman's hanging heart was finally put down.

She turned around and told her disciples to prepare for tomorrow's feast.

"Grandma, even you are no match for General Jinbo?"

Mo Yiren looked at the disciples of Canci Sword Pavilion who turned and left, and couldn't help but be full of doubts.

After all, Zhongli Qiu is a master in the world of cultivation, second only to the four supreme masters of today.

The old woman shook her head and smiled: "General Jinbo's true form is a 'Danglei Bald-headed Turtle'.

This 'Danglei Bald-headed Turtle' is an ancient wild species, extremely rare in the world.

According to the legend of the old people, when Emperor Zhou encountered it, it was as big as a giant ship.

I think it was more than a thousand years old at that time.

Counting on my fingers, it has been two thousand years since then."

Li Chen couldn't help but be secretly shocked when he heard this.

His cheap apprentice Jianzhen is only a thousand years old, and this General Jinbo is actually more than two thousand years old.

But the old woman continued: "This 'Thundering Turtle' is very different from the general prehistoric beasts. It can produce an inner elixir after practicing for a thousand years."

"The inner elixir is hidden in the clouds, gathering cloud gas and lightning, while the main body is hidden in the water, practicing separately."

"So although its main body was sealed in the water by Mr. Kongsang's Wood Fire just now, the inner elixir is still in the sky."

"That thunder elixir condenses the power of a thousand years of thunder tribulation. Not to mention Mr. Kongsang, the people on the entire ship may not be able to resist it."

Everyone was terrified when they heard it.

Who would have thought that there would be such a beast in this ordinary Miluo River.

"Alas~"

"What a pity..."

The old woman looked around and didn't say the rest of the words.

But even so, how could Mo Yiren, who is as smart as ice and snow, not understand.

Zhongli Qiu spent a lot of money to invite fishing masters from all over the country, and at this moment, only Taigong Diao was left.

And until now, not even half a scale of the red carp has been caught.

It seems that this trip will end in vain.

Mo Yiren forced a smile, hugged Zhongli Qiu's arm with both hands, and said coquettishly: "Grandma, I miss home."

"I want to go back to Jianhu to feed the fish."

The old woman couldn't help but feel a sour nose when she heard it: "Silly girl, silly girl~"

"There is still a chance, there is still a chance."

"After today, wherever you want to go, no matter it is in the north and south of the world, or in the dragon's pool and tiger's den, grandma will accompany you."

As she said this, her face was already covered with two lines of clear tears.

"Hey, the little monk over there~"

There were not many people on the deck originally, and they all had their own thoughts, so this voice at this time seemed particularly abrupt.

Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound. It turned out that the old man who had been taking a nap had finally woken up.

But at this time he was yawning and tilting his head, and the direction vaguely was the direction of Li Chen.

Li Chen was stunned. Seeing that everyone's eyes were all looking at him, he couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Senior, are you calling me a monk?"

"Oh, you are the only one who looks like a monk on this boat. Who else should I call?"

Li Chen coughed lightly, put his hands together, and chanted the Buddha's name: "Amitabha."

"Okay, okay~"

"Don't do these nonsense, just come closer."

Li Chen was speechless and subconsciously took a few steps closer: "Ahem, do you have any instructions, senior?"

The old man holding his gray beard, still looked listless: "Is that piece of blue and gold jade yours?"

Li Chen finally reacted and said: "Yes."

"Hmm~"

"Since you dare to pledge the top-grade blue and gold jade, I'm afraid you have extraordinary fishing methods?"

This was a test.

Li Chen knew it clearly in his heart. This old man might have taken a fancy to his piece of 'Lapis Lazuli'.

When the bet was made before, Taigong Diaosou also joined in quickly, and even bet a copy of "Six Strategies Fragments".

Li Chen pondered for a moment, and just bowed slightly: "I do know a way of fishing in my heart."

"But compared with the fishing skills of the predecessors, it is far from it."

After hearing this, Taigong Diaosou smiled slightly: "You little monk can talk."

"You can think like this, which means you are not a self-conceited person."

"But now there are only you and me who haven't made a move.

I think the red carp is suspicious and agile, so it may be difficult to catch it."

"In this case, whether we can catch it is a dilemma."

"But there is no reason to take back our bet."

Li Chen almost laughed out loud when he heard this.

This old man clearly had his eyes on his Qingjin Shuangqin.

Qingjin Shuangqin, a top-grade spiritual jade, was indeed a rare spiritual object in the world.

Lapis sapphire naturally contains the two properties of ‘wood and gold’.

For those who specialize in these two spells, the value of this piece of lapis lazuli is no less than a panacea.

Li Chen smiled secretly: If you like it, it’s easy to deal with, I’m just afraid that you don’t like it.

As for the lapis lazuli, for him, except for exchanging some spirit stones, it seems to have no other use.

Even if it is needed in the future, you can go to the Chamber of Commerce to purchase it again.

Sure enough, Taigong Diao Sou coughed lightly: "Anyway, there are only two of us left.

How about this.

If someone between you and me can catch a red carp, the bet will remain the same, and the winner can get all the rewards."

"But if... neither of us can catch a red carp, how about judging the winner by the catch?"

Li Chen was stunned when he heard this.

It seems that this old man is digging a hole for himself.

As the successor of ‘Taigong Diao’, he has long been famous in Jiuzhou and Bahuang.

His fishing skills are even said to be unparalleled today.

So he didn’t worry that Li Chen could surpass him at all.

Li Chen just stood there, thinking for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Senior... you are a master of fishing."

"This competition is too unfair."

When Taigong Diaosou heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face: it is indeed a bit unfair to bully a junior like this.

He then coughed lightly: "Then how about this, if you win later, these things will naturally belong to you, and I will also agree to one more request of yours."

"No matter when and where, as long as it does not violate the rules of the cultivation world and the ethics of the rivers and lakes, I am willing to agree to help you do one thing."

"And if you lose, it doesn't matter, I will let you choose two things from this pile to take away."

"How?"
