"Fortunately, I ran fast. The night patrol of the fish pen made a lot of noise, and I almost had an encounter."
Bai Qi took the sampan and hid in the reed swamp, and quietly came to the abandoned hay shed where the ghost-striped fish was last released.
In order to avoid attracting attention, he did not light a fire to keep warm, but sat cross-legged on the spot to breathe evenly.
The Golden Elixir Strengthening Skill nourishes internally and externally, swallowing breath and exhaling, driving the blood all over the body to rush, dispelling the slight chill covering the body.
The night wind was so cold and whining that an ordinary person would be too cold to survive for even a moment.
call!
Bai Qi slowed down his breathing and let out a breath of hot air.
There was no danger tonight, and I gained a lot. Thanks to the evil-breaking eyes and the blessing of water patterns, I was able to encounter such an opportunity for nothing.
[Skill: Fishing (Proficient)]
[Progress: (124/800)]
"Finally, I found something! The progress will skyrocket even if there is no catch. Does this mean that fishermen can catch anything? As long as it's something underwater at the bottom of the river?"
Bai Qi suppressed his excitement and took out the pink and tender meat ball as big as a fist.
Strange to say, after this thing is torn off, it gradually turns black like a rotten fruit.
He gathered his fingers together and squeezed hard, and then it peeled off like a burnt mud shell, revealing the hard substance inside.
After weighing it a little, I found that it was quite heavy, about the same as a carp weighing two or three kilograms.
When he lowered his head and looked again, he saw that it was a large, round and plump bead, reflecting the gleaming brilliance. It was absolutely extraordinary.
There are also a few wavy water lines on it, as if they were born over time, and they are naturally quite delicate.
"What the hell?"
After all, he was a fisherman with limited knowledge. Bai Qi rubbed this underwater treasure that looked like a clam bead, but he didn't know its origin or use, and he suddenly had a headache.
"You can't swallow it in one gulp... I just started practicing Jin Jin, and I'm not a master of Qi training. My internal organs are like a piece of iron, and I can digest anything.
This thing is not small and has a hard texture. There is no difference between eating it and committing suicide by eating gold. "
Bai Qi's brows tightened. He felt like he was guarding a treasure mountain, but he couldn't get in. He felt like a hundred claws were scratching his heart, itching very much.
"Fortunately, I have already entered Tongwen Hall. With Master Ning's level, I should be able to recognize him."
After thinking about it, he decided to ask the head palm palm eye for advice. There was no need to hide everything.
Of course, important secrets such as the Molu whose origin cannot be explained and are related to oneself cannot be told to outsiders.
But for Ning Haichan, a monster fish that can be dealt with by the Fish Pen and Mine Manager may not be able to catch the eye of the Dharma, and there is no need to hide it, as it will appear to be a petty fish.
"They are both big fish raised in the Blackwater River. What's the difference between a treasure fish and a demon fish? Is it because the treasure fish can't produce such 'beads' in its belly?"
Doubts arose in Bai Qi's mind. He thought that after he had mastered the martial arts training, he should make up for it a little more, read more miscellaneous books, and improve his cultural level.
As a fisherman who has been trapped in the Heishui River for more than ten years, it is actually difficult to draw a clear outline of this world.
After all, he has never traveled hundreds of miles away in his life!
"There are also two pieces of yellow paper. It's strange that it hasn't rotted after being soaked in water for so long, and it's a treasure? Could it be that God opened his eyes and picked up a bunch of big ones for me to eat?!"
Bai Qi shook the fire folding book with one hand and shook out the yellow paper that had not been soaked in intravenous drip with the other hand.
Through the dim light floating in the pitch-black hut, he took a closer look and saw that there were densely packed tadpole characters, crooked and straight like ghost characters.
"This? I don't recognize anyone?"
Bai Qi opened his eyes wide, like a scumbag classmate seeing a mathematics textbook, and he felt as strange as looking at a book from heaven.
You know, he is quite famous among the many fishermen in the Blackwater River with the blessing of his literacy skills. He was also a slightly famous "prodigy".
Now... I can't make out the tadpole text on the two yellow papers.
It's really frustrating.
"You can't blame me. My humble background is too low, and Heihe County is a rural place, so my experience is not up to par with what's reasonable. That's all, I'll bring it to Master Ning to taste together tomorrow."
Bai Qi comforted himself silently, and secretly made up his mind to develop both civil and military skills, and it would be best if he could develop a powerful skill of "reading".
…
…
At the beginning of Haishi, the alarm sounded twice.
Bai Qi raised his hand and knocked on the door knocker, making a crisp sound.
He leaned the sampan against the dock of Dongshi Shop. Anyway, Brother Shui was exempted from having to pay commissions and berths. He also had a waiter to help watch, preventing idlers from taking advantage of others and killing two birds with one stone.
"It's really comfortable to have a backer when doing business. You can save worry and effort on all kinds of trivial matters, and you don't have to strain yourself."
Bai Qi thought to himself, his ears twitched slightly when he heard hurried footsteps running towards him.
I saw my brother Bai Ming unbolting the door, opening a small crack at first, and then completely opening it after seeing the person clearly.
"Brother, are you back? Why are the fish cages and fish baskets all empty?"
Facing Adi's confused expression, the smile on Bai Qi's face suddenly froze.
He only focused on picking up the leaks, but forgot to catch a few big fish.
As the number one fisherman at Dongshi Pier, he came back empty-handed this time!
What a failure!
"...The weather was bad, it was too cold, the big fish hid deep, and I couldn't see the small fish, so I released them all."
Bai Qi explained a few words vaguely, but Bai Ming said "oh" and was very sensible and did not continue to ask.
"I boiled water and heated up ginger soup. Brother, I quickly drank a bowl to go away the cold."
He trotted into the kitchen, poured out hot ginger soup and brought it to Bai Qi.
"My brother is still caring. It's getting colder every day, and it's not easy for fishermen to make a living."
He put the two pieces of yellow paper in his arms and the round bead as big as a fist on the table, took the large porcelain bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
"what is this?"
Bai Ming's eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Brother, I don't know. I picked it up for free from the river and plan to show it to Master Ning tomorrow to check its quality.
Maybe it's the 'pearl' mentioned in the book. It is said that this thing was made from the tears of overseas sharks. It is so plump and big that it should be very valuable. "
Bai Qi did not deliberately hide the two gains from his brother, but just made a few random remarks.
"Brother is so capable. Every time he goes into the river, he can pick up some good things."
Bai Ming's face was full of admiration, as if he really believed it.
"Perhaps Lord Long saw that our brothers were having a hard time, so he showed kindness."
Bai Qi put down the large porcelain bowl and exhaled hot air.
He took off his wet shorts and thought about taking a hot bath with the good medicinal herbs given by Liang Sanshui later.
Although the effect of Tongwenkan's medicinal bath is outstanding, it is like being tortured by fire. Every time you try it, it is like being punished.
"Brother, what are these two pages of paper?"
From the corner of his eye, Bai Ming caught a glimpse of a strange yellow paper that looked like smooth silk.
There was a slight "buzzing" sound in his ears, which grabbed his attention.
"I picked it up together with the beads. It has small tadpole characters all over it. It doesn't look like the usual ones. I can't recognize it."
Bai Qi held a bundle of dry medicinal materials, preparing to grind some of them into juice, and answered casually.
"Brother doesn't recognize it... but I seem to understand it."
Bai Ming covered his aching head, stared at the small characters that were as thin as mosquitoes and flies, and seemed to be written in cinnabar, and slowly read out:
"The wandering soul, where can it be left? The three souls have descended early, but the seven orifices have not yet arrived; the wilderness by the river, the deserted temple village; the public court prison, the tomb forest; the false alarm lawsuit, the lost true soul...Brother, this is called Fang Shu, summoning For the soul.”
