Chapter 159 Immortal fishing
The sky is blue, the white clouds are clean, and the lake is like a jewel, deep and psychedelic.
On the rocks by the lake, there was a young man, dressed in white, sitting on the rocks, holding a fishing rod, fishing by the lake.
Although the scholar only saw the side face of this young man, he also felt that this person was handsome and elegant, and then remembered that the water flow of Shicai had overturned the tiger, and he immediately felt a little unspeakable in his heart.
"Are there really immortals?"
According to the story in the book, the scholar encountered a tiger in the forest, but fortunately there was a fairy to save him, and the fairy was often dressed as a Taoist priest, or an old man, fishing by the stream. According to common sense, the old man fished, and the hook was mostly straight.
The scholar took a deep breath before slowly moving forward.
At that moment, the young man raised his rod and caught a herring.
The young man's expression remained indifferent, and he untied the herring and put it in a bamboo cage, and the fishing hook was curved.
The scholar felt something strange in his heart, and secretly thought: "It's not just an old man, the fishing hook is still bent, why don't you follow what is written in the book?"
The young man threw his rod and landed in the lake.
The scholar bowed down and said, "Thank you Mr. for saving your life, dare to ask Mr. name?"
The young man said lightly: "I am the current master of the White Emperor Cave. ”
The scholar hesitated, "Mr. Bai?"
Mr. Bai? Qingyuan was a little concerned about the surname Bai, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him, and then said, "It's just a title, just call it whatever you want." ”
The scholar took a deep breath, a little dreamy, according to the book, he should have met an immortal, then, the next is to have an immortal fate? and then you can apprentice?
He swallowed his saliva and muttered, "In this world, there are really immortals. ”
In fact, the things of the gods are not so secret, at least the people in the court, the soldiers in the army, more or less can know some, and among the markets, there are often fairy stories. But for ordinary people, they can't see any mysterious wonders in their lifetime, so it seems ethereal and illusory.
Some believe, others question.
Especially scholars, who are familiar with the scriptures, have a lot of doubts about these things that they have never seen before.
But today, he really saw it, and he was able to live.
"Mr. Bai. The scholar bowed down and said, "Xiaosheng's surname is Su, and his name is Su Xiang." ”
Qing Yuan snorted, and then asked: "Baikan Mountain has always had many fierce birds and beasts, and it is regarded as a vicious and dangerous place by the nearby people, so few people come here, how did you come here?"
"It's a long story. Su Xiang smiled bitterly: "Xiaosheng was hunted down. ”
......
Su Xiang is not from the Seven Towns of Lingxi, he is a scholar from Luoyue County, and he was originally going to the capital of Daliang, passing through Kanling Town, one of the Seven Towns of Lingxi.
Kanling Town is in the annual grand event, the whole town of the people worship the great god, as for the worship of things, there are incense candles, there are three animal wine ceremony, but these are not important, the real worship of things, is three boys, three virgins.
Su Xiang has been familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, and he has a heroic and righteous mind, and he has never seen ghosts and gods before, so he naturally does not believe in such absurd things, and reprimands him on the spot, messing up the worship event.
After the event was chaotic, the people panicked, and Su Xiang was also arrested.
After three days, a priestess said, "The great god is angry when the great event is disturbed, and now the virgins and girls who worship must be ten each, so that they can calm their wrath."
The people of Kanling Town were panicked, and in order to avoid the wrath of the gods, they had to select ten boys and ten virgins, and as for Su Xiang, it was regarded as an additional sacrifice object, and twenty children worshiped Shenjiang together.
But on the day of the worship, something happened again.
It is said that the great god asked for twenty boys and twenty virgins to entertain guests.
Subsequently, the town of Kanling fell into chaos.
And Su Xiang took the opportunity to escape.
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a lot of fear, and couldn't help but say angrily: "The people are stupid, and the goddess is hateful, and they really hurt those children in vain......
He suddenly paused, looking at Qingyuan's gaze, revealing a little shock.
He is familiar with poetry and books, and has also read wild history, and he is quite familiar with all the things of the gods and demons, and the records of demons, but he has never seen it before, and he does not believe it. It is precisely because of this that he feels that these people who worship gods and Buddhas are stupid and unbearably and have wasted their lives.
But the person in front of him can be more than ten feet away and use the lake water to knock over the tiger, how can he do it humanly?
If the person in front of him is really a man among the immortals, then isn't the great god worshiped in Kanling Town real?
"This ......"
Su Xiang opened his mouth, with a very indescribable look on his face.
Kiyohara ignored him, only frowning slightly.
Sacrifice with human life?
Today, it is the time of the gods, but there were gods before, such as the mountain demon, which was born with gods. But according to what Su Xiang said, the one in Kanling Town wants to have three boys and three virgins to sacrifice blood, the number is not too much, and the blood is not too strong, so the Tao should be limited, so it will not be a god, maybe some cultivators are playing tricks, or which kind of monster.
But what he wondered was that Nanliang was open-minded and focused on etiquette and rules, and it was not comparable to the wilderness in the northwest.
And the most important thing is that the Guardian of the Right Path controls all parties in Middle-earth, and has always taken it as his responsibility to subdue demons and eliminate demons, how can the Guardian of the Righteous Path sit idly by?
Or is Kanling Town just a small place, not reaching the eye of the righteous path and not entering the ears of the court?
"When the world is a god, the eyes of the big people are staring at the big situation. Qingyuan said: "This small place can't set off the wind and waves, and it can't hear the wind, and it's not an incredible thing. ”
Su Xiang was silent for a long time, his eyes staring at the lake, his expression was indifferent, and he just didn't take it to heart.
"Mr. Bai. Su Xiang bowed and said, "You knocked over the tiger and saved Xiaosheng's life, and you are a kind-hearted person." Your one-handed ability is not human, although Xiaosheng is clumsy, you also know that you are not an ordinary person. Now there are monsters in Kanling Town who claim to be gods and harm the people, since you have the ability, why don't you go to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and return this world to a good man?"
Kiyohara stared at the lake, his rod holding steady.
"Mr. Bai. Su bowed down and said, "Please have mercy on those dozens of young children...... No, not just dozens, but countless lives for countless years to come. ”
"If you have great ability, you should have great responsibility. ”
"Can you bear to watch those children die innocently?"
"You may be an immortal, but an immortal should also be a chivalrous. ”
He said loudly: "It started with a small life, and now the six children have increased to forty, and it is not a pity for the little life and death, but those children, how innocent are they? Since you have saved me, you are a kind-hearted person, and I hope that Mr. Bai will take action." ”
Qingyuan raised his hand, pointed in front of him, and sighed, "Don't make noise, the fish is hooked." ”
With that, he raised his hand, and the rod turned into an arc upward.
A huge herring, at the end of the fishing line, was fished out of the lake by him.
