Chapter 61: Ordinary Fishermen and Unusual Guests
Chapter 61 Ordinary fisherman and unusual guests
"Dad!" A girl's voice exclaimed from the bow of the boat.
Then a middle-aged man responded in a daze: "What's wrong, Qian'er?"
But the girl didn't say anything for a long time. Looking at her mouth wide open, she seemed to have seen something that shocked her. She was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.
The middle-aged man didn't pay attention to his daughter's call at first. But after a few breaths, his daughter still didn't answer, so he immediately became alert and crawled out of the cabin.
But when I saw the situation outside the ship, I was stunned.
"This, this..."
Because from the moment I saw it, everything was quiet, pale, and cold.
This made the middle-aged man shiver because he was still wearing summer singles, and the season at this time happened to be Mengxia.
However, in this season, which should not be coldest, the lake was covered with ice, which stuck their small fishing boat on the frozen lake.
The middle-aged man sighed and said: "Our family branch has wanted to become a cultivator, that is, a cultivator of immortals, since our grandfather's generation. Because only in that way can we realize our transformation, otherwise we will be afraid that we will continue to be lonely until we
This branch of the family has completely disappeared."
"That's enough!" The middle-aged man burst out instantly, as if he had been stabbed in a sore spot.
Fenghong Mountain.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man said with some displeasure: "Qian'er, how many times have I told you not to just look at a person's appearance? Besides, it is extremely disrespectful to judge a deceased person."
After walking on the road for a mile or two.
The middle-aged man sighed again and said, "Oh, it's really haunted. This ghost thing even killed a person."
"But, I'm scared at night."
This includes not only preferential treatment due to qualifications, but also some emotional preference.
When the girl saw her father breaking down and crying, she felt at a loss for a moment.
"Yeah."
The middle-aged man added: "It would be better if your mother was a cultivator. The disease your mother suffers from is mainly a problem of the veins. Taking medicine is not very effective because the veins are blocked. But when you reach the realm of the three meridians, the pulses will naturally become weak."
My life is restored."
"It's okay. A dead person is a dead person. Is it possible that he can still fake his corpse? If you are a man with a clear conscience and an upright person, even ghosts will be afraid of you."
After eating for a while, the middle-aged man said as if he was reflecting on himself: "It's my fault too. If only I were a cultivator of immortality, I might be able to find the elixir and cure your mother, or at least prolong her life."
The cold air emanating from the lake made her feel very cold.
The middle-aged man sighed again and said: "Silly boy, those are just introduction books, just like introductions, or like encyclopedias. They only teach you how to recognize things, but they don't teach you any cultivation methods. How can you practice cultivation?
?”
"That is, it corresponds to the spiritual elixir realm of human cultivators."
Then he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and asked while eating: "Has the dead person been placed?"
After saying that, the middle-aged man actually hugged his head and started crying.
The next moment, he quickly stood up and went to his father's side. He squatted down, shook his father's arm and said, "Dad, I know I was wrong. Don't be sad. I will never mention this again."
"But how did he end up in the middle of the lake? There are no boats around. Could it be that he swam in the lake because of the hot weather, swam here, and then froze to death here or drowned here?"
"Dad, this person's death posture is so strange. This posture seems to be that he drank enough water in the lake and then floated up after drowning." The girl said.
"Then..." The girl saw that her father was a little sad, and she didn't know how to answer and comfort him.
"ah!"
"It's a pity that my grandfather, your great-grandfather, didn't succeed in becoming an immortal cultivator. My father didn't succeed either, but although your grandfather didn't succeed, he got some books about cultivating immortals. After your grandfather died, I used them to read
, so I probably have some understanding of things about cultivating immortals.”
"How are you talking? What's the etiquette of banging the table while eating?" the middle-aged man said angrily.
After all, the middle-aged man had a certain amount of composure due to his age. After calming down his emotions, he said, "I don't know what's going on."
"Yeah." The girl responded.
The middle-aged man immediately leaned down, felt the man's breath, and touched his neck with two fingers, but other than the coldness of his hands, there was no feeling of life.
He also said: "Remember, ghosts prey on the weak."
"Forget it, forget it."
Said: "Qian'er, let's get him up and put his body in place."
The middle-aged man shook his head after hearing this, obviously he couldn't understand either.
"Little junior sister, you should seize the time to practice. When you reach the eighth level of Ning Yuan, Master will allow you to take half a year's leave, and you can go down the mountain."
Freezing in June is a strange thing that may not happen for a hundred years. He has never heard of it since he learned to fish.
After saying that, he picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.
"Okay, Qian'er, come and eat." The middle-aged man greeted.
"If you were rich, your mother might not die or live a few more years. There is only one disease in the world, and that is the disease of poverty."
"We won't encounter any water monsters, right? I've long heard that there are water monsters in this lake. They are all monsters. They are just like the rumored immortal cultivators. They have some magic, spiritual power or vitality, not those in the mountains.
That kind of ordinary beast." The girl guessed.
"Oh, he's still a boy! What a pity."
"Your mother died of illness because she had the root cause of the disease when she was in her twenties, and the disease was congenital."
"Dad, what on earth is going on?"
The girl saw her father's depressed look and did not dare to say anything.
The man hesitated and said: "If you put it here, the body will rot in two days and will be eaten by fish and shrimp. Also, there is a dead person in the lake. If you don't dispose of the body, it will be unlucky for other people to touch it."
.”
Staying on the lake is not an option.
Lakeside, fishing village, one family.
"It's not your fault, dad. You don't have spiritual roots. It's destiny." The girl consoled her.
It should be not far from the lake, maybe seven or eight miles at most. I was too busy last night and was really tired, so I fell asleep on the boat."
"If we don't look at the appearance, let's look at the essence. He is just a mortal like me, or a dead person. What is there to respect?
If he were an immortal cultivator, he wouldn't have died on this lake?
"Let's get it up. He probably hasn't drowned for too long and his body isn't swollen yet. I even suspect that he froze to death due to the weird weather," the man said.
"Well, let's put him in the hay shed first, and then dig a hole and bury him tomorrow."
"It's not that easy, but it's hard work."
A middle-aged man is still a middle-aged man after all. He quickly controlled his emotions and said, "Continue eating, Qian'er."
The girl also held her arms tightly. She was wearing a soft summer green gauze dress with the hem just above her knees. She only wore two pieces of clothing on her upper body and underwear. She looked like a normal summer outfit.
.
"Isn't it? Isn't it like this for my mother to die of illness?"
The girl murmured.
"Oh, Dad, let's just leave it alone." The girl urged, wanting her father to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"Then it is auspicious for us to meet him? Our family has dealt with him, and others feel comfortable, so we will respond." The girl immediately retorted to her father.
Seeing that he could not convince his daughter, the middle-aged man waved his hand and ended the conversation.
When the girl saw that her father was determined to do this, she had no choice but to give up, but she did not help and allowed her father to pull the body out through the ice with some effort.
Said: "I have spent all my savings and family resources to treat your mother, otherwise I would be reduced to fishing here? What else do you want from me? Even though I know it can't be cured, I still sell my property to support myself.
What else do you want from me?"
So the father and daughter tried to walk on the frozen lake and tried to return to the lake on foot.
This time her father did not ask why she screamed because they saw a person stuck on the lake.
Just like this, he was half-frozen between the ice layers of the lake.
"As long as you work hard, you can definitely do it. After all, your talent is there, and Master will give you priority in everything."
Even if you are dead, how can you talk about respect? Even if you are alive, you are just as mediocre as us."
The girl was unhappy. She put down her chopsticks and said, "Then the Buddha still picks good people to suffer? Dad, why didn't you say anything?"
"Oh! He's dead." The middle-aged man thought in his heart.
The girl suddenly let out a scream.
The man hesitated for a while, and then said: "No, everything has a spirit, let alone humans. Although he is dead, it has nothing to do with us. But letting the corpse be eaten by fish and shrimps is disrespectful to the corpse."
"
"Fourth level monster?"
"Okay then, dad, how did you know?" the girl asked.
Under the influence of coldness and surprise, the chest under the green gauze clothes undulated slightly. Judging from its development and delicate face, she felt that she was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old.
But the girl said again: "It doesn't matter to us whether he froze to death or drowned. Besides, whether he drowned alive or froze to death, he might have done something evil to get this retribution."
After the middle-aged man pulled the "corpse" out forcefully, he sighed with regret.
"Yeah." The girl said obediently.
The man's neck was frozen under the ice, leaving only his head on the lake. Since the man was lying on his back, he was facing up.
The girl did quickly stop her and said, "No, dad. It's unlucky to die. Let's not get stuck in this kind of bad luck."
"He's not handsome either."
The girl said: "Here we come, daddy."
"Then you got the cultivation books, why don't you practice? Dad." The girl asked ignorantly.
The middle-aged man said: "That's impossible. There are water monsters in this lake, which are the monsters you mentioned. But to freeze the entire lake, I'm afraid it would take a fourth-level monster to have such an ability."
"Okay, then I will definitely go back and see my mother."
The middle-aged man quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Let's see if the frozen lake is solid and whether we can walk on it.
"Go to bed early after eating." The middle-aged man said again.
Night comes quietly.
Just after the father and daughter lay down to rest, a "corpse" in the hay shed slowly opened its eyes with some weakness and difficulty.
