It turns out that fishermen will occasionally experience some mysterious phenomena during fishing: fish and shellfish will have subtle dragon-like characteristics on their bodies.
Legend has it that this is because Pinjiang Dragon God has a dragon girl. He is kind-hearted and cares about the people. Occasional magical phenomena in the net are gifts from the Dragon Girl, so it is also called the Dragon Girl's blessing.
After listening to Lao Li Tou's explanation, Lin Xixi looked at the carp in the fish basket with wide eyes and curiosity.
After looking carefully twice, I finally found a red scale near the carp's tail. Hidden among the remaining dark yellow dense scales.
Red is an extremely luxurious color in Pinjiang City. Legend has it that Pinjiang Dragon God is a red dragon. Therefore, the color of the Pinjiang Dragon Temple is mainly red, and even the temple blessing in front of you is dressed in red robes.
The carp is said to be the leader of all fishes. If it crosses the dragon gate, it can transform into a dragon. Coupled with this red scale, it is indeed somewhat magical.
Lin Xixi suddenly remembered that Su Xing was holding the carp by its tail just now. It seemed that Brother Su had already discovered the specialness of this carp.
Su Xing's expression did not change. He didn't know what a dragon species was, but he was just investigating the Ho Luoyu. Fuso's spiritual power surged out, and he felt like he was being visited. He spotted the carp through the fishing net, his eyes were very sharp, and then he saw a red scale on its tail.
"What's so special about the dragon species?" Su Xing asked Old Li Tou beside him.
Lao Li frowned and thought for a long time before replying:
"This...old man, I really can't say. I have seen and heard about the 'dragon species' many times in my life.
It is said that some people did not recognize the 'dragon species' and ate it as ordinary fish. They became 30 years younger overnight. Only when they found a red scale in the scraped fish scales did they know that what they had eaten was the 'dragon species'.
Some people spend a lot of money to buy 'dragon seeds' to use as medicine, but in the end nothing changes.
After some people released the dragon species, it is said that there was a lot of gold and silver in their homes the next day.
oh! It is said that in my grandfather's generation, there were people who found a red snail shell and thought it looked good, so they kept it in a water jar. In the end, they got a beautiful daughter-in-law for nothing. "
Su Xing nodded thoughtfully, saying that "dragon species" are not a particularly rare phenomenon. There are different types and they occasionally appear in Pinjiang City.
Although whether the "dragon species" has magical effects seems to depend on luck, it is enough to attract dignitaries and dignitaries to flock to it.
"This young master is a dragon species. Why don't you sell it to our Pinjiang Dragon Temple? It will be regarded as a good relationship with our Pinjiang Dragon Temple." The temple blessing in a red robe with gold inlaid said softly, as a temple blessing , noble status, but not aggressive.
As soon as Miao Zhu opened his mouth, Chen Yuanwai's expression turned gloomy, but he didn't say anything again. He knew that he had no chance.
"This 'dragon seed' shouldn't have to be handed over to Pinjiang Dragon Temple, right?" This was the information Su Xing summarized from Old Li Tou's dictation.
"Of course." Miao Zhu was a woman, and her red robe made her look more beautiful, but her expression was quite indifferent, and she replied:
"The 'Dragon Seed' is originally a blessing from the Dragon Lady, and can be obtained by those who have the opportunity. The Pinjiang Dragon Temple will never interfere forcefully. However, if you are willing to release the dragon seed to the temple, the Dragon Temple will also give you a generous gift in return. .”
Seeing that Su Xing's expression remained unchanged, Hongpao Temple Zhu's eyes moved slightly and he said:
"My surname is Lu Mingke, which means that the Pinjiang Dragon Temple has produced ten spiritual stones in exchange for this red carp. Later, the young master will go to the temple with me to get them."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people watching became more curious, but there was not much change. On the contrary, it was Member Chen who looked up in surprise and glanced at the spiritual stone in Lu Ke's hand, showing a hint of longing.
Su Xing had a panoramic view of all this. He looked down at the fish basket and seemed to be thinking about it.
But he was thinking about another question in his mind. The people watching did not know the spiritual stones, so it was understandable that their expressions remained unchanged.
But Chen Yuanwai's performance was somewhat meaningful.
Su Xing could almost conclude at this time that Yuan Chen was a monk. In fact, when he first saw Chen Yuanwai, he noticed that there seemed to be some spiritual power left in him. But it's like fog, so you can't see clearly.
Therefore, I became somewhat curious about it and did not leave in a hurry.
Now, judging from his reaction, it is obvious that he is no stranger to spirit stones. Probably indeed a monk.
In this way, the reason why he was so respectful to himself, even to the point of slapping his son in front of everyone, was because he was a monk, and he probably realized that he was also a monk.
Thinking of this, the doubts were resolved, and Su Xing did not intend to delay any longer.
By chance, Lin Xixi, who had been playing with the water in the fish basket, raised her head and looked at herself eagerly. Obviously he was not willing to sell this beautiful and magical carp. Of course, Su Xing believed that if he decided to sell it, Lin Xixi would definitely listen to him.
Su Xing smiled slightly, his attitude was equally polite, but he replied without hesitation:
"Thank you for the kindness of Pinjianglong Temple. It's a pity that this red carp is destined to us, so we won't sell it."
Pinjiang Dragon Temple represents Pinjiang Water Palace, and Pinjiang Water Palace is the well-deserved overlord in this big city.
However, in front of the Purple Jade Sect, the three great Yuanying sects of Dayu, it is still nothing. Therefore, Su Xing does not need to worry about offending Pinjiang Shuifu.
After Su Xing finished speaking, there were some comments from the crowd watching, but no one stood up and said anything.
As Lu Miaozhu said, Pinjiang Longshen Temple has purchased some "dragon seeds" before, but generally it still follows the voluntary principle.
"It's fate..." After being rejected by Su Xing, Lu Ke's face showed no anger. After muttering these two words, his face suddenly showed an unpredictable look, and then returned to calm:
"Can Lu Ke know the name of my friend?"
Lu Ke didn't hide anything like Chen, so Su Xing had long known that she was a monk. Hearing this, he did not hide anything:
"My name is Su Xing."
Lu Ke nodded: "Fellow Daoist Su takes his leave."
Then he stopped staying and turned around to leave.
The four boys and girls behind him did not say a word the whole time, and now they silently moved out of the way.
Lu Ke walked among the boys and girls, suddenly stopped, turned to look into Su Xing's eyes and said:
"The old man just told a lot of stories about the 'dragon species', but he also missed a legend about the dragon girl's blessing...
Legend has it that the Dragon Girl’s blessing is actually the Dragon Girl choosing her husband.
If one day, the dragon girl chooses the right person, that 'dragon seed' will turn into a real dragon girl.
Together with the person he falls in love with, he will enjoy the Jiangshui Mansion and spend his life together. "
After saying that, he stopped staying, turned around and walked forward.
The crimson robe gradually faded away, followed by two virgins holding long red skirts. The gold pieces on the clothes shimmered in the sun, like the gleaming red scales on a red dragon, leaving only one sentence:
"The Dragon King will bless you, and the three rivers will have good rain."
Many elderly people knelt down again and touched their heads to the ground:
"The Dragon King will bless you, and the three rivers will have good rain."
