Su Chen struggled to climb out of the Demon Locking Well. His face, which had always been calm and composed, was now pale and bloodless, and his heart was beating violently.
He quickly escaped from the ruins of the old house in Gutong Alley, walked through miles of bustling alleys, and came to the bustling area.
Here, there is an endless stream of people, bustling,
Popularity everywhere,
He finally felt a glimmer of safety, got rid of the suffocating fear, and stopped panting,
The wet clothes were blown by the cold wind and clung to the body, instantly making people feel the biting chill.
At this time, there was no time to pay attention to this.
He had lingering fears.
The evil spirit that filled the Demon Locking Well just now was really terrifying!
Could it be said that this is the aura exuded by the ancient demon suppressed in the Demon Locking Well? That ancient demon that had been sealed away for the entire Great Ji Immortal Dynasty actually still existed?
What is the connection between this young golden scale and that mysterious ancient demon?
However, the matter has come to this,
At the moment, he has caught the young golden scales and has no time to investigate further. He will run away first.
Luoyi is the imperial city of the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty, the most prosperous and wealthy city in China. There are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the city, just like crucian carps crossing the river.
There may even be saints stationed here. It is thought that even the ancient demon would not dare to wreak havoc on the prosperous place of the Imperial City in daylight.
At this time, Gutong Alley was already bustling with traffic and horses.
From time to time, wealthy practitioners riding rare and exotic animals, birds and cranes would fly by at low altitude, making others envious.
In the alley, various people including fortune tellers, vegetable sellers, firewood porters and footmen were walking around on both sides of the alley, selling snacks along the street.
Most of the residents here are the neighbors of Gutong Lane. Su Chen has been hanging out here for several months and greets the neighbors very familiarly.
He wrapped his clothes tightly around the small fish basket around his waist, for fear of being seen.
The rare young golden scales on the tail bone in the fish basket have the appearance of transforming into a dragon, which is extremely rare.
If someone sees him, he may cause a sensation in the Luoyi Imperial City and cause an uproar. Countless people will have sleepless nights, and no one knows how many people will be thinking about him all night long.
Su Chen hurriedly passed by a small medicine shop at the entrance of Gutong Alley, raised his eyes and suddenly remembered that he had charged the girl next door ten taels for running errands to buy a bottle of low-level elixir for her.
He walked into the drug store and spent ten taels of silver to buy a bottle of low-level pills.
Passing by Aunt Mei's sesame cake stall, I bought two hot sesame seed cakes with pork and vegetables, and spent a few black coins. The remaining ten taels of silver for running errands was pocketed by me.
Immediately afterwards, he stopped lingering and quickly walked through the bustling Gutong Alley and returned to his small earthen courtyard.
He hurriedly fastened the iron bolt on the back of the small courtyard door.
Su Chen came to the earth wall and looked up next door, but did not see the girl in plain clothes in the courtyard.
He knew that Daji's aristocratic families were strictly prohibited from entering. Misses from wealthy families would not come into contact with outsiders at will, and it was not easy to call her.
So she could only put a small bottle of elixir pills and sesame seed cakes wrapped in oil paper into a cloth bag and hang them on the side of the low wall for her to take away.
After working for a long time, coupled with the loss from practicing last night, he was already hungry and growling.
Su Chen returned to the woodshed,
He opened the fish basket on his waist and wanted to see a young golden scale that he had just caught with a fishing net in Suoyao Well.
He was surprised.
In the fish basket, I saw that the young golden scales that were originally jumping around had its white belly turned up, the fish eyes were dull, and it was motionless!
"Little Jinlin is dead?!"
Su Chen was startled and hurriedly rubbed its belly with his hands, but still couldn't feel any breath of life. It was cold and motionless.
Could it be that he is really dead? !
Su Chen was stunned.
After returning from Suoyao Well and walking through several miles of Houtong Alley, it had only been a short while, so how could it be dead?
Could it be that the clothes were too tight on the fish basket just now, causing it to suffocate?
Su Chen was holding the dead young golden scale, his face suddenly filled with sadness and his heart was as sharp as a knife.
In this cold winter, he took great risks alone, broke into the Suoyao Well, and built a net to fish.
It took a lot of effort to catch this young golden scale with purple scales on its tail and forehead and extraordinary bones.
I originally thought about taming this young golden scale and make it my own natal beast!
With the root strength of this young golden scale, breaking through the realm is like drinking water. If it can transform into a dragon, it can easily take itself off!
You won’t have to worry about practicing for the rest of your life!
After all, such a top-quality root bone is rare.
If it appeared in the market of Luoyi, it would be an absolutely hot spiritual beast with a sky-high price. I don’t know how many princes and wealthy families in the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty were willing to lose their fortunes and seize it at all costs.
But,
A dead young golden scale is worthless!
At most, the dead fish is just a piece of spiritual meat with good spiritual energy. Apart from frying a plate of fragrant braised spiritual carp, it has no other use.
If it were brought to a fish shop in Fangshi for sale, the meat of this kind of spiritual fish would probably only be sold for a few dozen taels of black silver at most.
"This priceless golden scale was instantly reduced to nothing!!!"
Su Chen was disappointed, and his face was a little more depressed.
He took the fish basket to the earth stove in the firewood house, stuffed a few firewood under the stove, lit the fire, and prepared to cook.
He was not in the mood to sell a dead fish in the market.
You can't sell it for much silver at all.
Anyway, I was hungry, so I simply stewed the spirit fish and ate it, which would also nourish my body that was worn down by training.
He lit the firewood in the stove,
Then he took a rusty, dark and heavy ancestral fire stick half a foot long,
I poked it in the stove,
"Crackling" the flames of the firewood ignited, and at the same time toasted my wet clothes.
Boil a pot of hot water to prepare the fish soup.
Su Chen turned the fish basket over, poured out the motionless young golden scales, put it into a wooden basin of clear water, scrubbed it clean, and prepared it for the pot.
"what a pity!
The priceless treasure disappeared in the blink of an eye. It seems that I have no luck today...!
The "Imperial Calendar" says that today is the day to make alliances, build nets, light fires, and bring in animals!
I just didn’t say that I would get rich today!
The prediction of this Yin Yang technique is so accurate!
After a lot of effort, he finally caught a young golden scale with excellent bones while fishing, but he died of suffocation.
Now I can only light a fire and stew it into a pot of spiritual fish soup. "
Su Chen looked frustrated.
He came to the field in the small courtyard and pulled out a few handfuls of fresh leeks and winter vegetables. He returned to the woodshed and took a few pieces of old ginger, some pepper powder, and finely crushed salt from the stove, and put them into the pot one by one. middle.
Spices are quite expensive, so use them sparingly.
“Winter Solstice is as big as the New Year!
I want to have a good meal today!
There are no glutinous rice balls or dumplings prepared at home, so we can only eat them to celebrate the festival!
Is it steamed, fish soup, or braised? Would it taste better? !
Just do it all,
Braised fish tail!
Steam the fish body and make soup!
Then use the fish head to make spicy minced pepper fish head!
This golden scale can make at least three dishes of fragrant dishes, just for the holidays! "
Su Chen didn't feel so sad anymore after thinking about it. He was a little greedy and couldn't help but lick his dry lips.
He placed the golden scale on the chopping board and thought about what dishes to make. Then he picked up a kitchen knife and chopped off the fish head with one stroke.
However, at this moment, the young golden scales, which had already turned upside down,
He suddenly straightened up and bounced up like lightning, dodging the fatal knife blow.
Immediately afterwards,
The young golden scales bounced a few more times on the chopping board, then jumped lightly and fell into the wooden basin filled with water.
It looked very angry, staring at Su Chen with a pair of smart fish eyes!
He originally wanted to escape by pretending to be dead and let the young man throw it into the stream.
But he didn't expect that he would be cooked into three dishes of spiritual fish after death.
Then it can't pretend to be dead.
"Hey! What a boy, you actually pretended to be dead to scare me!...I almost cut it into eight big pieces and stewed it in the pot!"
Su Chen held the kitchen knife and looked at the young golden scales that came to life in surprise. He felt angry and laughed at the same time.
So, it just rolled its eyes, rolled its belly, and felt completely cold. Was it pretending to be dead?
It seems that tonight's steamed braised carp with chopped pepper will definitely not be eaten.
Since he is not dead, he can only keep it as his own natal beast!
The young golden scale swung its tail in the wooden basin, "Gulu~" and spit out a few bubbles.
I almost got chopped up and laughed at just now.
This made it even more angry. It took a sharp breath, its belly quickly bulged, and its small mouth opened.
"Tsk~!"
A crystal clear and extremely sharp water arrow shot out from Jin Lin's mouth.
This water arrow was controlled extremely nimbly by Young Golden Scale, and could even turn around and chase people in mid-air.
"Water Demon Arrow?!"
Su Chen's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he keenly sensed the extremely dangerous aura of the water demon arrow.
"Moon Shadow Escape!"
Without hesitation, he pointed his toes to the ground, suddenly dodged, and performed the Yin-Yang Gate escape technique - Moon Shadow Escape.
A shadow of the virtual moon was left on the spot, as if it were a human crescent moon descending.
"Snapped!"
The water arrow passed through his moon shadow fiercely and hit a wooden board in the woodshed. With a "click", a hole was shot out, sawdust flew and the soil collapsed.
The power of the water arrows was not at all inferior to the heavy black iron arrows fired by Daji Immortal towards Hu Benqi!
However, only a broken shadow of the virtual moon remained on the spot, the cold moonlight sparkling.
The young man had disappeared out of thin air, his aura was hidden, and there was no trace.
