In the deep pool, the water splashed, and the blue and black back loomed, with a touch of red on the tail.
"Crack!"
Red carp jumped back into the bamboo basket held by Lin Xixi.
"This is..." Lin Xixi's face glowed with joy, but looking at the carp spinning in the bamboo basket, she showed a bit of reluctance, so she still tipped the fish basket in her hand and asked for it. Pour out the carp.
A slender and strong hand grabbed the handle of the bamboo basket. Su Xing stopped Lin Xixi from releasing the carp, looked at her gently and asked:
"Do you like this carp very much?"
Lin Xixi hesitated and said:
"No, there must be a reason why Brother Su said he wanted to be released. I just... it's just that we met together, and the 'dragon species' also represents luck and preciousness, so I was a little reluctant to part with it for a while. "
Looking at the red carp in the water, most of the bamboo basket was tilted in the water, but the red carp was swaying its tail and spinning in the bamboo basket, refusing to leave no matter what.
Su Xing suddenly smiled lightly, straightened the bamboo basket, and said to the carp in the basket:
"Since you are not willing to part with it, then just stay."
"Brother Su, is it true?" The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, even though she said she didn't care. But in fact, Lin Xixi still likes this red carp that is full of spirituality and symbolizes the "blessing of the Dragon Girl".
Su Xing nodded, smiled casually, turned around and walked down the mountain:
"Keep it, after all, I bought it for two taels of silver."
"However, since I have decided to keep it, not everyone can take it away."
"Yes!" Lin Xixi expressed her approval and said with seriousness on her face:
"Shall we give it a name? I've been thinking about it for a long time in the past two days and decided to call it 'Xiao Zhu'! Brother Su, what do you think?"
The red carp in the bamboo basket was blowing bubbles, and he didn't know if he understood what the two of them were talking about.
...
Dragon Temple.
The golden statue stared indifferently at the Sanjiang Tan in the courtyard. In front of the desk in the shadow beside the door, the old man in red was sitting on the table, wondering what he was thinking.
"Ta-ta..."
The sound of footsteps came from a distance, and a figure in a gorgeous red robe inlaid with gold pieces walked to the temple door, looking directly at the tall statue in the temple, but did not enter.
The old man spoke first and said:
"Sometimes, I think, this...maybe it's good."
The woman in gorgeous clothes turned her head to look at the old man, half of her beautiful face exposed in the sun. If Su Xing were here, he would be able to recognize that it was Zhu Luke of the Dragon Temple whom he met by chance two days ago.
"Not good." Lu Ke looked calm, but said categorically: "The bead is out there, so bear with God's grace."
"Really?" The old man's expression remained unchanged, but he didn't dwell on the issue too much and asked instead:
"What role are you sure these two people can play?"
"They are just adding to the mix. The important thing is that we have waited too long and can't wait any longer." Lu Ke's face was hidden in the shadows again, then he turned and walked out of the hospital:
"But using the 'Purple Jade Sect' as a starting point does not live up to the name of the 'Dragon Girl'."
...
Time is like a flowing river, passing by moment by moment.
Soon, five days passed, and it was the day when the Ziyu Sect's return boat set sail.
Su Xing walked in front, and Lin Xixi followed closely behind, carrying a fish basket. The two of them were approaching the ferry, and the Purple Jade Sect's building boat could be seen not far away.
During the three days in the inner city, Su Xing and Lin Xixi walked around the inner city and got a general understanding of the inner city.
However, in the past three days, the most discussed topic inside and outside the city was the "Holuo Fish Tide" of the past few days.
That was the day Su Xing and the others went out to fish in the river. Many holu fish were caught in the water in the entire Pinjiang City section. Some people said that at least fifty fish were caught in the net that day, and some even said there were more than a hundred.
It is even said that more than one "Dragon Seed" entered the net that day. Moreover, not only on that day, but also on the second and third days, although the number of holu fish dropped, it was still far higher than usual.
It attracted many people to go fishing, and boats fishing for fish could be seen everywhere in the river.
Many old people say that it is the Dragon Girl's birthday, but the problem is that they have never seen such a rich fish catch before. Even the Dragon Temple did not come out to explain. Only Xinjiang temporarily increased the number of holu fish that can be caught daily from five to fifteen.
But today, as Su Xing walked all the way from the inner city, he found that there were many dejected fishermen on the road.
Many people are talking about the fact that not only are there no holo fish to catch today, but even ordinary fish are caught much less than in the past.
It seems that the "Holo Fish Tide" is probably over.
Back on the ship, there were already some Purple Jade Sect disciples on the deck.
Many people were surrounding a disciple curiously asking what he was talking about. When they approached, they found that the disciple was holding a fish basket in his hand, and there seemed to be a big black fish swimming in the basket.
"I bought this dragon species by luck. I racked my brains at that time, and it was best to get the attention of the City Lord's Mansion, and it took ten spirit stones to get it." The disciple holding the fish basket looked somewhat complacent. , said to the onlookers.
"Senior Brother Huang, what is the use of the dragon seed? I see that people in the city have been talking about it these past few days."
"Dragon seeds have different uses. Some can extend life, increase spiritual power, and improve understanding. However, it is said that there are a few dragon seeds that are of no use if eaten." Senior Brother Huang thought for a while and replied.
"Then how can senior brother confirm that what he purchased is a dragon species and not an ordinary fish?"
"Look." Senior Brother Huang lifted the black fish in the fish basket. The black fish is ferocious, but this one is quite docile. He held it in his hand with its tail swaying slightly.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a red line on its abdomen, which stretches from the lip to the tail.
"The treasure is hidden. Except for this red line, you can only touch it personally and observe it with your spiritual consciousness to realize that it is not an extraordinary thing."
The people present were all monks, and many of them checked with their spiritual consciousness after permission, and found that this black fish was indeed extraordinary, and contained a touch of supernatural power in its body.
Hearing the praise from everyone, Senior Brother Huang showed a glow on his face and said:
"With ten spirit stones, if you take this dragon seed, you will definitely make more money than lose money. Hey, junior sister, why are you also carrying a fish basket in your hand?"
The onlookers turned their heads and looked at Su Xing and Lin Xixi.
"Could it be that this is also a 'dragon'?"
"I wonder how much it cost?"
Seeing everyone looking over, Su Xing smiled lightly and said:
"It's just a carp bought for two taels of silver."
Senior Brother Huang looked around and saw that a carp could indeed be faintly seen in the fish basket.
In fact, the dragon type is so subtle that if you don't observe carefully, it would be difficult to detect it, such as when he just took out the whole black fish.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Two taels of silver, but still a carp, that's not surprising."
Seeing everyone's confusion, he explained:
"Dragon species are also divided into genera. It is said that carp is the most precious. My black fish dragon species cost ten spirit stones. Fellow Taoist, this one only costs two taels of silver. It definitely cannot be a dragon species."
"It makes sense!"
"I think this senior brother is probably just following the trend to join in the fun."
During the conversation, Su Xing didn't explain too much. He kept a smile on his face and just nodded in response.
