Jiang Wang had not had the habit of fishing in the past. Fishing is a pastime to pass the time;
He just felt like he didn't have enough time, so there was nothing left to spend. But after his trip to the mountains and seas, and seeing Wang Changji fishing in the mountains and seas, he became interested. But occasionally I would go out with a fishing rod.
Practicing while waiting for fish.
Often I am so selfless in cultivation that the fish eat up the bait. Go with an empty pole, come back with an empty pole, but seek freedom.
Laoshan is named after "Lao", but I don't know where Lao is.
The mountain is neither high nor special.
Only the area is quite vast.
Many towns can be gathered around the mountain, which shows that the mountain is quite stable.
What Jiang Wang saw was green and green, full of vitality, and the occasional singing of birds, which made the mountain even more serene.
Laoshan is naturally divided into two circles. The outer layer is where the surrounding townsfolk rely on the mountains to eat and eat. Deer, deer, foxes and rabbits are everywhere. The inner layer is almost deserted, and there are no traces of animals.
Chitan is hidden deep in the mountains and is not easy to find. Not only is it blocked by terrain, but it is also covered by naturally formed mazes. As time goes by, there are many traces of human adjustments. However, the most recent adjustment dates back forty years.
"Daxia Fangzhi" only uses the word "hidden" to summarize it.
If ordinary people really don't understand anything and go into the mountains to look for Chitan, they will definitely find nothing.
After the decisive battle with Yangcheng, the entire Xia Dynasty surrendered under the direction of the Qi army. Almost everything in Xia Ting was taken over by the Nanxia Governor's Mansion. Jiang Wang was granted the title here, and he rightfully took control of the mountain. "Laoshan Mountain Formation Picture" and "Chitan Formation Explanation" are naturally available in the Hou Mansion, and Lian Que also takes them with him when he goes out.
Although Jiang Wang no longer has it in his hand, it is naturally different for the Shenlin cultivator.
At this moment, he was walking slowly, his spiritual consciousness had been spread out, and he was searching the wild mountains. It didn't take long to find a place in the old mountain that was different from other places.
Arriving straight to the target Shanjun, the maze formation has been opened by Lian Que. It can still block the sight of mortals, but it can no longer block Qianyang's red pupils.
But we can see that the mountains are uniformly ringed, low-altitude thunderclouds are faint, and electric snakes are flashing. From time to time, lightning strikes the water, causing ripples.
This mountain col is like a tea cup, Leiyun is like a tea lid, and Chitan is like the cup of tea.
The water in the pool looked extremely clear, but the bottom was dark and the end was nowhere to be seen. Razer occasionally enters the water to play, but it doesn't cause much change.
It's very peaceful.
There is a kind of power that has not changed since ancient times.
If the legend is true and this pool was transformed by the blood and tears of Chi Kiss, then its history can be traced back to the medieval times, which is indeed ancient. Perhaps the name Laoshan came from this?
Lianque set up a stove in the pool, holding a big pot, and was cooking something. A closer look revealed that there was only sinking water without traces in the pot, and nothing else.
Just boil water?
Chu Mo held the cattail leaf fan in both hands and worked hard to fan the stove.
The fire was burning brightly, but the water in the pot didn't react at all.
One embarrassing thing is... there are no fish in Chitan.
Jiang Wang had read Daxia Fangzhi, especially the part about Chitan.
But when he casually took the fishing rod and went up the mountain, he didn't expect this at all.
"Daxia Fangzhi" said: There is no bottom here,
The water in the pool is so choked that it freezes to the touch. Nine hundred feet is the limit for the arrival of the gods. Even though they have divine power, they cannot sneak any further.
There is a maze of formations outside the Chitan, with thunderclouds above, and electric snakes swim across the water from time to time. The water in the pool is extremely cold, and even the Shenlin cultivators cannot penetrate deeper than 900 feet. What kind of fish can live here?
If there really are fish that can live here, how can they be caught with an ordinary fishing rod like his?
What was even more embarrassing was that Chu Yao had already seen the fishing rod in his hand.
Seeing Jiang Wang, Chu Mo's face immediately overflowed with joy, but he did not dare to put down what he was doing. He continued to fan the flames and shouted: "Master!"
His slender eyes glanced to the side: "Are you coming to fish?"
Jiang Wang simply stopped hiding his fishing rod and just said "hmm" and walked casually down the mountain along the path, his steps elegant and his clothes fluttering.
Chu Mo turned his head and looked at Chitan for a long time, then turned back and asked inexplicably: "But there are no fish here?"
Jiang Wang smiled enigmatically. First he said to Lianque, "What are you cooking?"
Lian Que looked at the iron pot without blinking, and used a bamboo wine spoon to scoop out a little water from time to time and put it into the bamboo tube by category. And with a wooden wine spoon,
Wood tube, do the same. He replied casually: "The water is too cold. Let's boil it to judge the quality."
Jiang Wang laughed and said, "Aren't they all the same after boiling?"
Lianque didn't take it seriously: "Its performance at each stage will tell me its story. If you don't understand it, you won't be able to use it correctly."
The Dayan Lian family once controlled Changluo Cave and prevented disasters from entering the world. It was a famous and famous family for a while.
Changluo Caves are still far away from Laoshan on the map, but the only place far away is the entrance of Changluo Caves in Changluo Mansion. Really removing the influence of the formation, the interior of Changluo Cave is actually not far from Chitan, and there is a certain connection between the two. Jiang Wang had already noticed this when he suppressed the disaster.
The reason why Lian Que was brought to Chitan was to let the current leader of the Lian clan try to see if he could regain his former glory.
But Lianque seems to be only interested in the water that tempers fire.
Jiang Wang glanced at the stove and continued walking forward calmly. While untying the fishing line, he said to Chu Mo: "Why are you fishing?
Chu Mo rolled his eyes: "Fish!"
"What is fish?" Jiang Wang asked again.
"White meat! The ones with thorns are delicious." Chu Mo said, adding: "There are also those without thorns."
Jiang Wang shook his head: "This is a small fish."
"The big fish is like that too." Chu Mo was puzzled.
Jiang Wangyun smiled lightly: "The size you mentioned is a narrow size. The big fish I mentioned is not the big fish you think." Chu Mo's little face wrinkled: "It sounds so confused."
"It's okay to be confused." Lian Que said coldly.
Jiang Wang quickly glared at him: "Where are the disciples?
Don't interrupt! "
Lian Que said: "I think this kid is quite smart, but your teaching has delayed him. You might as well learn from me."
Chu Yao was anxious: "I don't want to be a blacksmith! My master is so cool!"
It was about the future, and he couldn't care less about being afraid of this ugly man. Besides, with Master by his side, could he still be eaten? He dared to force his mouth, but his hands still kept moving.
Jiang Wang laughed.
Lian Que shrugged.
Chu Mo cleverly said with a smile: "Master, tell me about the big fish. What kind of big fish are you talking about?"
Jiang Wang was calm and talked eloquently: "The big fish floats between the sky and the earth. It jumps up into the blue clouds, dives down into the quiet springs, breathes in the high-flying clouds and mist, and wraps up the nine-curved haze. There must be momentum when rising, and there must be sound when moving."
Suddenly it is like a fairy wind, suddenly it becomes a Taoist bone, suddenly it appears among thousands of people, suddenly it appears for thousands of years and it is this fish that has been fishing for the teacher.
Chu Mo's words are all in a fog, it's a pity that he can't read at all. Just listening to these words makes it clear which word corresponds to which one. It is very difficult to know which word corresponds to which word.
He looked at his master with slender eyes.
"Hey, kid! Do you know what I'm doing?" Lian Que asked unwillingly.
Chu Mo didn't care what he was doing, but after all, he was a little afraid of him, so he still looked at him cooperatively.
The ugly man was still ladling the pond water into bamboo tubes and wooden tubes repeatedly. The weight was the same every time, but the temperature of the water was only slightly different.
"Scoop out the water." Chu Mo said.
"It's just filling water." Lianque said seriously:
"It's all packed up."
"Chu Mo, please ignore him." Jiang Wang interrupted: "Did you understand what Master just said to you?"
Chu Mo shook his head and said honestly: "I don't understand."
Jiang Wang nodded with satisfaction: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you will understand later... Fishing is a kind of artistic conception."
At this time, he had untied the fishing line, set the hook, and put out the bait.
Holding the pole in one hand, he walked to the center of Chitan, sat down on the mirror-like water, and slowly lowered the fishing line.
He used thunder clouds as a cover and cold water as a mat to fish in the empty mountains.
Wearing a green shirt and shining on the clear water, there are thunder snakes swimming around.
Not to mention anything else, the posture is indeed very chic.
Chu Mo firmly remembered the master's words in his heart and felt that it was very rewarding and very happy.
Isn’t this more promising than blacksmithing?
Let’s also say that the water in Chitan is extremely cold and freezing, and thunder snakes sometimes swim there. It is actually not easy to put the fishing line into the water.
Behind Jiang Wang's graceful movements, there was a huge Dao Yuan attached to the fishing line, straightening it silently and falling straight to the bottom of the water.
This fishing line is only nine feet long. Compared with Chitan, it cannot go very deep. However, without the protection of Dao Yuan, it cannot go very deep. However, without Dao Yuan's protection, it would have been frozen to pieces by now. The fishhook is also made of ordinary iron and cannot withstand the water at all. The fishing bait made of earthworms has been working hard to resist the tendency of frost... But Jiang Wang was sitting cross-legged in the middle of Chitan at this moment, and he could completely feel the ubiquitous chill, which was silently invading his body.
This kind of coldness is not the summer sun and winter frost, but it penetrates into people's bones and seeps into their souls.
Where does the cold in Chitan come from?
Where does that extremely dark bottom lead to?
There is no record in the relevant information that can be found.
Jiang Wang did not rush to investigate, but silently operated the Xuantian Glazed Technique. Here you need to fight against the cold water of Chitan, and at the same time fight against cumulus clouds and thunder and lightning. At the same time, you have to carefully protect the fishing rods and lines. It is a good environment for practicing physical exercises.
The "Xuantian Glazed Gong" presented by Tu Hu may sound like a Buddhist kung fu at first, but it is not.
"Xuantian" is the sky in the north.
"Liu Li" is crystal clear, without dirt or defects.
It is an orthodox grassland true skill, and one of the few exercises on the grassland that is independent of the Cangtu Divine Religion system.
Or to put it in a more accurate way - it is one of the rare prairie skills that has not been erased by the Cangtu Divine Religion.
Tu Hu really put his mind into this technique.
It is neutral and peaceful, has strong compatibility, will not conflict with the body of heaven, and can adapt well to Jiang Wang's current physical condition.
So far, Jiang Wang has practiced the Four Spirits Body Refining Technique, taken Shimencao, experienced the Heavenly Bath in the Hot Spring Palace, and tempered the body with the Light of Heaven and the Body Tempering with Starlight, and then achieved the Divine Presence and the Golden Body and Chalcedony.
The physical strength is actually not that bad. It is difficult to gain any benefit from ordinary physical training techniques.
At the same time, we must consider that the other side of "golden body, chalcedony, youthfulness" is that it is not easy to change, and it will be destroyed only if it is killed. No matter how strong some body-training techniques are, they cannot be practiced anymore if they are not suitable for one's own condition. This is no better than before God came, and there is still a lot of room for adjustment.
Jiang Wang is based on the mystery of Huang Weizhen's divine presence. He achieved it in the state of "Three Nothings" on the battlefield. His divine presence can be said to be perfect. If it is an incompatible body training method, it will actually cause flaws. Even if the defense is greatly enhanced, the gains outweigh the losses.
The Xuantian Glass Technique is different. It has no nature in itself. It is like the sky that contains everything, and like the glass that reflects everything. In the history of the grassland, it was often used as a supplement to the religious practice system.
Once this skill is mastered, it will be able to integrate this physical body very well.
Mr. Jiang Hou came today with a pole, originally to enjoy leisurely and practice quietly.
Now the fishing rod is no longer easy to hold, but practice is still practice.
The glazed clear light circled around him, and he casually ordered: "Chu Mo, stand on the Taiyi White Tiger Stand."
This pile skill is very suitable for laying the foundation and can help Chu Mo complete the physical preparation before opening the pulse. He had already taught it on the way to southern Xinjiang.
"Wrong!" Chu Mo quickly put down the cattail leaf fan, put on a decent posture on the side, and stood up.
Lianque didn't care about their master and apprentice, he casually strengthened the fire and analyzed the water in Chitan.
The place was quiet for a while, everyone was doing their own thing.
There was only the crackle of firewood in the stove, and occasional thunder and lightning.
Time slipped away quietly like this. When Xue Rushi walked into the col, he saw this scene. But seeing the monk sitting like a bodhi on the pool, fishing alone with a pole, the child standing beside the pool, gnashing his teeth, and the ugly man by the stove concentrating on testing the water with a pious expression, this scene is actually extremely harmonious.
He waited quietly at the entrance of the col without saying a word.
Although he set out to visit Marquis Wu'an as soon as he learned that he had come to southern Xinjiang. Although he failed to visit the mansion, he hurriedly looked for him in the mountains. Although he was eager to express his sincerity and loyalty, he just waited quietly.
Of course he knew that Marquis Wu An would not miss any of them. "How did Ru Shi find this place?" Jiang Wang shifted his gaze.
By the way, he waved his hand to Chu Mo, signaling the boy to rest.
Chu Mo relaxed and followed the method taught by his master to relax his muscles and activate his blood circulation while looking at the visitor curiously. Judging from his clothes and temperament, he is also a high official.
"Master Hou." Xue Rushi bowed respectfully and then said: "The general heard that Master Hou had arrived in southern Xinjiang, so he came to visit as soon as possible. He was anxious to listen to Master Hou's teachings, so he chased him to the mountains...
It would be a great crime to disturb Lord Hou’s elegant mood! "
Xia Fang generals like Xue Rushi, who abandoned darkness and turned to light on the battlefield, are now entrusted with important responsibilities in Xia. Zhong Xuan Sheng's original promise is not empty talk. Under the Qi court, the Xia people were never excluded, because what Emperor Qi wanted was eternal unification, and all Xia people were Qi people.
In particular, Xue Rushi followed Jiang Wangzhong and Xuan Sheng back and forth and made many contributions in the war. Persuading surrender, treating prisoners, and attacking fortresses
, has repeatedly made contributions to the war. They all participated in persuading surrender, treating prisoners, and attacking fortresses. Now they are all serving as governors temporarily. As long as their cultivation level improves, the word "generation" can be removed. Compared to the time when he worked hard for many years to become the general of Dai City, it was completely different.
Xia State has a prefecture-city system, and the prefect is equivalent to the county guard of Qi State, which is of course an important position.
In the past, the old system was used to manage summer, which was also for the sake of stability. After the official examination in Southern Xinjiang this time, the status will be restored, the righteousness will be unified, and Qi Ting's rule over Southern Xia will be strengthened, and various places will take advantage of the situation and change their prefectures into counties.
Convergence with Qi Di These are all mentioned by Su Guanying.
The prefect is a high official, so when facing Jiang Wang, Xue Rushi still calls himself the junior general, which is of course an expression of loyalty.
"I came to Nanxia to recuperate this time. I was thinking that I am not very familiar with this place. Ru Shi, you came just in time." Jiang Wang also acted very friendly and introduced them in a casual tone: "This is my good friend Lian Que. , the head of the Lian family of the Nanyao military casting family. This is Xue Rushi, my former subordinate on the battlefield. We fought side by side, and thanks to his great contribution, he is now the prefect."
"Temporary, just temporary." Xue Rushi saluted Lianque politely: "How lucky is Xue to be able to meet the Lord of the Weapon Master's Holy Land today!"
Lian Que didn't like these sycophants by nature, but he wouldn't just rely on his temper to cause trouble just because he was friends with Jiang Wang. He responded in a dignified manner: "Prefect Xue shows his talent, this sound of luck,
It should be Lian who speaks out.
"This guy is my new disciple, his name is Chu Mo." Jiang Wang pointed at Chu Mo and introduced: "Chu Mo, call me.
Chu Mo said politely like a young adult: "Chu Mo has seen Magistrate Xue!
Xue Rushi smiled and bowed to him: "Xue Rushi has met the young master."
Chu Mo smiled happily, feeling that this man was really pleasing to the eye. But Jiang Wang casually placed the fishing rod flat on the water, stood up and walked to Xue Rushi's side: "Perhaps we haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't we take a few steps together?"
"The general will not get what he wants." Xue Rushi quickly turned to Xue Rushi to find a relationship. It was also inevitable due to human feelings, and Jiang Wang could completely understand it. Moreover, Xue Rushi did have all the merits and hard work, so he was qualified to speak this way.
But since Jiang Wang agreed to be the examiner, and since he was determined to clean up the examination style, there was no way he could exploit this favoritism from himself.
If you are not upright yourself, how can you rectify others?
So, how to refuse appropriately without alienating Xue Rushi?
This is probably a simple question for Chong Xuansheng, but Jiang Wang needs to think carefully about it.
If he is too cold and hard-hearted, all of Chong Xuan Sheng's earlier investment in this person will be in vain. The fat man would definitely not give up with him when he turned around.
The two of them were walking in the mountains and forests, some chatting for a while.
Jiang Wang asked casually: "Have you heard about the official examination in Southern Xinjiang?"
Xue Rushi said respectfully: "I have heard about it, but I don't know when it will be implemented."
"Just in these two months." Jiang Wang said.
Xue Rushi placed a heavy foot on his feet: "Master Hou is still well-informed."
"Ru Shi." Jiang Wang walked forward with his hands behind his hands and sighed: "I always thought you were a smart person, but this time, you are not smart enough."
Jiang Wang on the battlefield in the past was a god who killed gods when he stood in the way, and a Buddha who stood in the way of Buddha. Xue Rushi was forced to surrender on the spot. Today, the Marquis Wu'an of Daqi is even more glorious and powerful in all directions.
Even though there was no angry expression, just a simple sentence, Xue Rushi felt uneasy in his heart and swallowed hard: "I am so stupid that I don't know what Lord Hou is referring to?"
"Do you know who the examiner is for this Southern Xinjiang official examination?" Jiang Wang asked quietly.
Of course Xue Rushi couldn't know.
Even Jiang Wang himself was assigned a temporary task today.
"I wonder if it's an adult from the Governor's Mansion or a general from the Division Commander's Mansion?" He carefully observed Jiang Wang, wondering if Marquis Wu'an could get along with that person.
"It's me." Jiang Wang said directly.
Xue Rushi was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Wang sighed with regret: "You said you came to me at this critical moment, didn't you just trap yourself in rumors? It makes people who don't know the truth feel that you, Xue Rushi, are going to use the back door! You have no shortage of merits and abilities, so why bother making people suspicious?"
"I really don't know, general." Xue Rushi said calmly.
"Since I am presiding over this official examination, I must not allow any favoritism or malpractice to occur. Malpractice in the official examination is a major crime that undermines the imperial court. Regardless of identity or background, I am honored by the emperor, and my reputation is here to win. I will win. Kill with the sword!"
As soon as he finished saying these murderous words, Xue Rushi turned pale.
Jiang Wang added: "You are my old subordinate, and you have good intentions to come here to visit me today. It's a pity that we are at this embarrassing time. Although we are innocent, people's words are formidable. During the official examination, I Hou Hui will be stricter with you, which is also to protect you, I hope you can understand, Ru Shi."
Xue Rushi wiped his sweat and said: "I understand, I understand completely. Having a selfless examiner like Mr. Marquis is really a blessing to Southern Xinjiang!"
Jiang Wang took a few steps and then said: "There will still be a long time ahead. No matter what the result of this official examination is, you must remember that your contribution will never be erased. This is what I give to you. Promise of."
Xue Rushi breathed a sigh of relief: "Rushi thanks you, Lord Marquis!"
Jiang Wang stopped and said, "Having said that, your cultivation level must also keep up."
He reached out and patted the thorn tree next to him and asked:
I want to use this tree as a pillar, is this tree okay? "
"It can only be cut down for firewood..." Xue Rushi said with a look of shame on his face: "I am ashamed of myself." Bao Jiangwang looked at him and said seriously: "I believe that you, Xue Rushi, are a pillar, but you can't just let me believe it." , do you understand?"
Xue Rushi solemnly said: "The general will definitely work hard. Jue Jiang Wang looked at him and said seriously: "I believe that you, Xue Rushi, are a pillar, but you can't just let me believe it. Do you understand? "
Xue Rushi said solemnly: "General, I will work hard and will never let down the expectations of the Marquis!"
"Let's go." Jiang Wang stepped forward and raised his chin: "Let me tell you about the officialdom in southern Xinjiang, who is partying with whom, who is a hypocrite and who is good... I am still confused now. I rely on you to clear up the confusion. !”
"At the end of the day, you should definitely tell everything you know, and tell everything you want to know."
Broken light passed through the forest, and while they were talking, the two stepped on the fallen leaves and drifted away.
.
