As we walked, a fishing boat docked in front of us, and Old Han, whom we had not seen for a long time, was getting off the boat.
"Old Han, long time no see. Have you been fishing for spirit fish?" Chu Ming asked with a smile.
Lao Han already knew about the two of them some time ago, and they even invited him to dinner to thank him for being a matchmaker.
He smiled and said: "Yeah, the harvest is not bad."
"I happen to have a big one for you."
As he spoke, he took out a glass fish tank from the storage bag, containing a spiritual fish weighing almost two kilograms.
Chu Ming was surprised and said: "Old Han, this is not a small harvest. Is it such a big one?"
A spirit fish weighing two kilograms would cost at least twenty spirit stones.
Lao Han was really generous and gave it to them directly.
Xiao Yuying quickly waved her hand and said: "Grandpa Han, this is too precious."
But Lao Han insisted on handing the fish tank to Chu Ming, "Take it, I'll leave this good thing to you juniors, I won't be of much use if I keep it."
"Originally, I didn't come here for the spirit fish. I wanted to come to the lake to seek some opportunities."
"It's just that naturally not everyone can encounter this opportunity."
Xiao Yuying asked curiously: "Grandpa Han, what opportunities are there in this lake?"
Old Han smiled and said: "This Jinlin Lake is not simple. Legend has it that there was a Dragon Palace at the bottom of the lake more than five thousand years ago. There are also real dragons in the Dragon Palace."
"The legendary Dragon Sword Immortal also became an immortal on a small island in the middle of the lake."
"Although the Dragon Palace disappeared later, there are still a lot of aquatic monsters in this lake."
"There is even a golden-scaled fish that has lived for more than three thousand years."
"That is a spiritual fish that shines with golden light. It is said that if a Dan-forming monk eats it, he can directly form a Nascent Soul."
"It's just that there are special restrictions set by the immortals in this Golden Scale Lake. Various aquatic monsters in the lake cannot be caught violently. Even if they are caught, they will turn into foam shadows."
"It can only be obtained by fishing, and it all depends on your own chance."
Chu Ming smiled and said: "Old Han, do you want to catch the legendary golden-scaled fish?"
Old Han smiled angrily, "You have been in the sect for so many years, how come you don't even know this?"
"The golden-scaled fish only appears once every few hundred years. Once it appears, the entire lake will turn golden and last for nine months."
“Only at that time can you fish for golden scale fish, and you can’t catch it at other times.”
"Oh, that's it." Chu Ming smiled and touched his chin, "I really don't know about this."
"After all, this thing only comes out once every few hundred years, and most disciples will never see it once in their lifetime. There is no use in knowing this kind of legend."
"So, Old Han, what kind of fish are you planning to catch?"
Old Han shook his head and sighed: "Of course it's a fish that can change your life. Forget it, I'll fish again in a few days."
Seeing Lao Han like this, Chu Ming knew that he must still have some illusions about cultivating immortals.
I want to try fishing in this Jinlin Lake to change my life before I retire.
However, ordinary people cannot force things like opportunity.
Chu Ming thought for a while and said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged, Old Han. Winter will come in two months. When I have some free time, I will come fishing with you along with my junior sister."
"If I can catch a spiritual fish that changes my life, I will give it to you as a thank you gift to the matchmaker."
Xiao Yuying also nodded in agreement, saying that if she could catch it, she would give it to Lao Han.
Old Han smiled, naturally not taking it seriously, but he was still very happy.
"Okay, let's go fishing together then."
Chu Ming talked to Lao Han about what happened to Zhou Junyi just now.
Old Han smiled and said: "That Zhou Junyi was also unlucky. The person who stole his woman was actually Wang Ming from Yuxiufeng."
"I heard that that person is the grandson of Guo Yan, the elder of the Inner Sect's Punishment Hall. Although he is from a collateral line, he is also deeply loved by Elder Guo."
"Even if his eldest brother Zhou Junyi comes, he can only admit defeat and cannot stand up for him."
"Evil people have their own troubles. We can't afford to offend him, but he also has people he can't afford to offend."
Chu Ming nodded silently. It turned out that Wang Ming had such a big background. No wonder the disciples of the Punishment Hall would "enforce the law impartially."
Lao Han quickly warned again: "But A Ming, you have to be careful. Although Zhou Junyi has been taught a lesson, Wang Ming is not a good person."
"Especially if you like a married woman, you have to take Yuying to avoid him as much as possible."
Chu Ming smiled and said: "I know, just hearing this last name is very dangerous. Fortunately, we don't live next door to him."
The three of them exchanged pleasantries and then said goodbye.
Now that he had the spiritual fish, Chu Ming gave up going to Ruyifang to purchase supplies as originally planned.
He originally proposed to go to Ruyi Fang just to plant sensory plants at Jinlin Lake.
I plan to find a reason to change the destination to Andingfang halfway through the journey, and at the same time, I will circle outside the mountain gate and plant the remaining sensory plants at the target location.
This looks more natural and no one will pay attention to it.
He casually thought of a reason to excuse the junior sister, and naturally the junior sister didn't say anything and followed him away.
"Senior brother, should we go to the auditorium to register first, so that we don't have to be afraid of that Wang Ming." Xiao Yuying said weakly, but she was worried that senior brother would not agree. After all, this was different from what they had agreed before.
Chu Ming didn't take Wang Ming seriously, but since the junior sister had spoken, there was nothing wrong with registering.
As long as there is no wedding, no one will pay attention to them.
"Okay, let's go." Chu Ming took the junior sister's hand and smiled.
Xiao Yuying was very happy after hearing this, and the two went to the auditorium together and made a simple registration.
The disciples in the auditorium also gave the couple a pair of wooden carvings of a boy and a girl as a souvenir, which were very cute.
Xiao Yuying couldn't put it down, and the joy on her face could not be concealed. Her face was filled with a happy smile all the way.
Chu Ming also planted sensory plants on the road near the auditorium.
Then he went to the execution hall. At this time, Zhou Junyi's verdict was over.
Chu Ming inquired with the disciples who were talking and learned about Zhou Junyi's final verdict.
His eldest brother seemed to be unable to come out because of something, and only five of his eldest brother's senior brothers came out to help him solve the problem.
After being given some benefits and resources, Zhou Junyi has gained the forgiveness of several victims and received a lighter sentence.
However, the impact of his incident was too bad, and he was sentenced to five years of hard labor.
Tomorrow morning, he will be whipped in public outside the execution hall to serve as a warning to others.
Chu Ming conveniently planted a sensory plant on a pine tree outside the Xingtang courtyard.
Since there is another show tomorrow, he will naturally watch the live broadcast.
Moreover, the vicinity of the torture hall is also a place where people come and go, and it is possible to collect important information.
