Chapter 72 Wandao Lake (Congratulations to Elvin2016 Silver Leader!)
There are thirty-two counties in Yue.
Among them, Yu County is located in the north, and its range is two to three times the size of ordinary counties.
The water network in this county is densely covered, boats and boats come and go frequently in the river, and wooden bridges and stone bridges can be seen everywhere. Compared with the surroundings of Qingzhushanfang City, it is another scene.
Wandao Lake.
Dock.
Countless fishing boats gathered in one place, hundreds of boats scrambled for the current, and there were slight waves on the lake, shining the sun, like scales.
Fang Xi came to the pier and saw many fishermen wearing green hats, green coir raincoats, and gray or black **** sitting or standing by the roadside, selling their catches.
"Young boy, do you want a big green carp?"
An old fisherman smiled.
"No, I want to find a boat and drive into the depths of Wandao Lake."
Fang Xi took out a piece of silver.
The dazzling light made many fishermen's eyes brighten, but they shook their heads again and again: "The depths of Wandao Lake are very dangerous, so I dare not go..."
"It is said that there are immortals in the depths of Wandao Lake!"
"We can only rely on the lake to make a living, and we must not dare to offend the immortal, otherwise the immortal will blame us, and there will be no catch in the coming year, and everyone will drink the northwest wind!"
…
Seeing more and more fishermen approaching, Fang Xi smiled, and exchanged the silver for an ingot of gold: "Go once, this gold is enough for you to buy land and houses, and you won't have to go fishing for a lifetime..."
"I'll go!" A young fisherman stood up immediately: "Master, do you want to go to search for immortals? In fact, I also took a few young heroes to the depths of the lake to search for immortals..."
"any left?"
Fang Xi glanced at it. Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be a brave man.
He took out a piece of gold, which indeed attracted many fishermen.
Fang Xi didn't say much, went to their respective boats to look around, and finally chose a boat with a scarlet carp on the bow.
The boss of this ship looks forty or fifty years old, with thick joints and a weather-beaten face, but in fact he is only in his thirties, and he calls himself "Boss of the Sea".
Fang Xi chose the boat, and Boss Hai propped up the penny, slowly drove the boat away from the pier, and headed for the lake.
Several hours later.
Dusk is coming, and the water surface is golden yellow mixed with reddish.
Boss Hai supported the boat, opened his voice, and sang a fisherman's song: "The reeds are floating... The boat is walking quietly... There will be more fish in the coming year..."
When the sun goes down, the fisherman sings late, but it's also unique.
Fang Xi stood on the hull of the boat, felt the breeze blowing, and stretched comfortably.
"Do you want dinner, honored guest?"
At this time, a woman emerged from the cabin of the small black-covered boat and asked softly.
She looks younger than Boss Hai, with a small white flower on her temples, she must have been quite pretty when she was young.
For fishermen, an awning boat is a home, and life, old age, sickness and death are all on board.
This woman is naturally Boss Hai's wife.
"Forget it... let's have a bowl of fish soup!"
Fang Xi nodded, and casually threw a silver bean over.
The woman got the reward, and immediately returned to the cabin, cooking a crucian carp deftly.
The fish head and fish bones are stewed in soup, the soup is thick and white, with only a little salt sprinkled on it, the taste is very delicious.
The fish body is sliced into thin slices, roasted on a low fire until it is slightly browned, and it is also full of aroma.
Pair it with home-brewed local wine, but it has a special flavor.
Fang Xi ate very happily, and tipped another silver bean.
The woman took the silver beans, but did not leave. Jiao Didi asked: "The dew is heavy at night, do you need to serve me, Master?"
Most of the ancient ship girls had part-time jobs, and Fang Xi was no stranger to it, so she just shook her head and refused.
Boss Hai, who had been supporting the boat, couldn't help sighing secretly when he saw this scene.
He lives on the shore of Wandao Lake all year round, in the wind and rain. Although he has no savings, he always has eyesight.
The red carp on the bow is the highest honor of a fisherman—in Wandao Lake, after a storm, occasionally there will be a carp with red scales and long whiskers. It is very rare, but it is also extremely difficult to catch. Only boatmen who have successfully caught this red carp can engrave the mark on the bow.
Boss Hai could barely make ends meet by relying on his fishing skills. The reason why he stood up to take Fang Xi's business was because he saw that this young man was very extraordinary.
Either a son of rich clothes and a good food, or a young hero who has traveled the rivers and lakes.
If you can borrow the seed, maybe the younger generation will be able to learn martial arts and get rid of the hard work of fishing.
The really poor ancient people didn't really care much about this aspect.
But I didn't expect that the young man didn't like it at all.
His sigh seemed to be heard by Fang Xi.
…
Five days later.
"Young master... we dare not go any further after passing the Golden Ao Tou..."
Boss Hai pointed to a reef protruding from the lake not far away, which looked like Da'ao, and Fang Xi said: "The fishermen in our area usually only dare to fish near the lake, and very few can go deep here... and According to our experience, if we go deeper, there will be a catastrophe!"
"Well, it's not bad to get here."
Fang Xi took out Ge Hongdan's map and looked at it, then nodded.
The reason why he hired a boat was because he didn't want to ride the black clouds too far.
Arriving at Jinaotou, it is very close to Baochuanfang City.
After finishing speaking, Fang Xi slapped the storage bag.
A group of dark clouds emerged and surrounded him, making him fly off the deck.
"You two, you can go back."
Fang Xi gave an order, dropped an ingot of gold, and rode the black cloud away.
"this…"
Boss Hai was there stupidly, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "The immortal master is very merciful...Don't blame the immortal master, don't blame the immortal master!"
When he stood up and saw his wife happily putting the gold into his arms, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed: "Oh... If Master Xianshi likes you, it will be fine..."
Maybe, you will be able to cross the immortal seed, so that future generations can also embark on the road of cultivating immortals.
…
Baochuanfang City is located on Baochuan Island.
The island is square and shaped like a treasure ship, hence the name.
On the island, there is a first-order spiritual vein, which was later occupied by the Arowana Zhong family and transformed into a square city. Around the square city, there are terraced fields full of spiritual rice.
Fang Xi changed her face and covered half of her face again. Driving the black cloud bag, she arrived at Treasure Ship Island in just half an hour.
There is no air ban on the island, so he flew all the way across the terraced fields with uneven levels, and came to the entrance of Fangshi.
Looking at the hard-working Lingnong on the ground, occasionally raising his head, his eyes were full of envy, and Fang Xi felt inexplicable for a while.
If he didn't have the golden finger, he might still be a spiritual farmer in Qingzhu Mountain, and then he would be affected during the battle of the destruction of the Situ family...
"My lord Xianshi is very polite, but this is your first visit to Fangshi?"
A few mortals were squatting at the entrance of Fangshi. When they saw the magic weapon landed, they immediately surrounded them: "We are local guides, and we know the inside of Fangshi like the back of our hands..."
"Well, let's do it!"
Fang Xi ordered a young man in Tsing Yi.
The boy immediately smiled, drove away the other colleagues, and led the way for Fang Xi: "Baochuanfang City does not need a certificate to enter, nor does it need to pay spirit stones... But if you don't leave at night, you will be caught by patrolling monks, but you will suffer Yes... this immortal master, I only need one spirit crystal a day! Mo Qingyi, I am lucky to meet the immortal master today..."
"You... seem to be just mortal?"
Fang Xi asked Mo Qingyi to lead the way, and said casually.
When mentioning this matter, Mo Qingyi suddenly felt a little sad: "I am dull, I have not inherited my grandfather's spiritual root qualification..."
After chatting for a few more words, Fang Xi realized that Wandao Lake is different from Qingzhu Mountain. There are a large number of descendants of monks, many of whom have no spiritual roots, but they are also raised on the islands, forming villages everywhere. with the town.
The mortals who can live near Fang City and get a job must be the direct descendants of monks within three generations.
‘These islands are even equivalent to small countries? '
'Hmm... After all, it is said to be an island, but it is actually quite big. In the previous life Fusang, it could have a name of hundreds of thousands or even millions of stones...'
Fang Xi cursed in her heart, and immediately smiled and said: "You do things well, and the benefits are indispensable to you... I am going to sell some monster materials, and at the same time purchase a body training method, some puppets and the inheritance of the art of controlling beasts..."
Before practicing martial arts in Great Liang, it was entirely because Great Liang martial arts were quick and did not require any materials, and it was helpful for the breakthrough of energy and blood during foundation establishment.
Switching to the body training method of the world of cultivating immortals, he wants to practice to the third level of body training, and the cost of spiritual stones will be gone.
At least, you have to eat lingmi every now and then, together with a medicinal bath made from various elixir, and pills...
In general, the Great Liang Martial Arts is more cost-effective.
But now, there is no way forward after the master, Fang Xi has to be prepared to jump ship.
Mo Qingyi thought for a while: "For the sale of monster materials, there are several seniors in the stall area who have been buying all kinds of monster materials for a long time, but the most reputable one is the 'Longmen Pavilion' opened by the Zhong family!"
"As for the puppet technique? Please forgive my ignorance. I haven't heard of any relevant inheritances for sale... But for the art of controlling beasts, there is a fairy master Miao who has three-headed pets by his side. He probably has relevant inheritances. You can ask about it." ask."
"Lead the way ahead, go to Longmen Pavilion first!" Fang Xi nodded, quite satisfied with the guide.
If it were him, it would take a lot of time and energy to figure out these situations.
Longmen Pavilion.
Arowana Zhong's main business is to raise spirit fish. The spirit fish they raise is 'Sapphire Carp', which tastes delicious and contains very mild aura. It is especially suitable for monks with water spirit roots. Long-term consumption is also equivalent to taking pills for cultivation. And there is no erysipelas yet.
It is rumored that among the thousands of green jade carps, a fish king may be born. This fish king has awakened a little dragon's blood, nicknamed "little green dragon"!
This 'Little Qinglong' can be made into 'Qinglong Soup' by adding a few precious elixir, even if it is beneficial for foundation establishment and overhaul.
It's a pity that most casual cultivators will never smell the green dragon soup in their lifetime.
Except for a small part of the Min family’s own use, most of these spiritual objects are to be paid to Xuantianzong in exchange for precious resources such as Foundation Establishment Pills.
