In the early morning, the young master on the boat seemed tired of staying there, so he ordered his men to leave.
The boat swayed and sailed away from the waters. From the time the boat appeared until it left, the young masters on the boat did not conflict with Chen Qingshan and others.
Chen Qingshan and others didn't even see clearly what the young master looked like.
The old man stood on the Dharma boat and watched the boat leave. He didn't know what he was thinking. At this time, the swelling on his face had subsided.
Chen Qingshan glanced at the departing boat, then stopped caring. He took the fishing rod, found a suitable position, and then fished on the boat.
Others also woke up from meditating one after another and took their seats.
The old man walked beside them, holding his hands behind his back, looking at them, and making tut-tut sounds from his mouth from time to time.
"You can't catch fish if you do this," the old man said.
Tian Jingsha, who was sitting cross-legged, thought he meant well, so he turned around and said, "Uncle, what we are catching is not an ordinary fish, so please stop fooling around."
The old man smiled, twirled his beard, walked to the side and whispered: "Every fish is the same."
Seeing that Chen Qingshan and others did not respond, the old man remained silent and sat aside to look at the scenery. The direction the old man was facing was exactly the direction in which the boat was leaving.
The young master's boat stopped moving after it left the waters where Chen Qingshan was.
It's not that I don't want to move, it's that I can't move.
One after another, huge tentacles stretched out from the water and rested on the deck of the building. With a flick of the tentacles, the tall pavilion collapsed.
"What's going on?" The young man was rescued by the guards and fell on the deck. Then he looked at a huge head, looking at him coldly. This head had feathers and a sharp beak, and had a bird-like appearance.
It's a beast, but there are eight huge tentacles growing under its head, and sixteen smaller tentacles.
"Shiju? How could it appear here?!" At this time, the young man was frightened and frightened.
There is an ancient legend on Yunmeng Ze, saying that those who offend the water god will be punished by Shiju.
I don’t know if there is a water god, but this stone house does exist, and the aquatic people usually enshrine a stone house statue in their houseboats to pray for its protection.
As if there was some divine will, as soon as the young master's boat came out of the water, it ran into Shiju.
Amid the helpless prayers of the people on the boat, Shi Ju's tentacles exerted force and slowly crushed the extremely magnificent boat.
The boat turned into useless wood, and the people on it became food for the fish in the water.
The building boat slowly sank, and Shi Ju's figure slowly disappeared under the water, and the waters became calm again.
As for Chen Qingshan and others on the Dharma boat, they seemed to have complied with the old man's words. Until noon, there was no movement from their fishhook.
The fox face was a little annoyed and angry, and threw the fishing rod aside.
The old man who had been looking at the scenery stood up, stretched, and felt refreshed: "Oh, it feels so comfortable."
"Let me see if my old bones can help you." The old man went to the deck and picked up his own bamboo pole.
This bamboo pole was the old man's fishing tool. When Chen Qingshan and others were rescuing people yesterday, they brought the old man's small broken boat and bamboo pole back with them.
As for the reason, Chen Qingshan thought that this might be the old man's few possessions, so he put some thought into helping him protect it.
"Uncle, the fish we caught is quite big. Please rest, I'm afraid I might miss your waist." Tian Jingsha said while fishing.
The old man rolled his eyes: "Why do you, a young man, talk so much that you expect bad things?"
"Am I not telling the truth? Master?" Tian Jingsha responded.
The old man didn't want to pay attention to this guy, but asked: "What kind of fish do you want to catch? Show it to me. There is nothing else but fishing. I am the number one person in Yunmengze."
Tongque didn't expect the old man to catch the big fish, but just wanted him to be quiet, so he took out the scroll and let the old man take a look.
The old man touched his chin and looked at the fish in the painting.
"Don't tell me, this fish is quite beautiful, but it's not big either."
"Uncle, please don't brag. This fish may actually be several feet tall, much bigger than your boat." Tongque reminded.
Unexpectedly, the old man was still smiling, stretched out his finger to gesture in front of Tongque, and said: "Girl, this fish is a bit small in front of the uncle."
Then, the old man sat down and put down his bamboo pole.
While fishing, he muttered: "In this matter of fishing, sincerity is the only thing that matters. As long as the spirit is there, not to mention this fish, even the dragon, it may not be impossible to catch it."
"I fish in the great rivers, and dragons are just ordinary things to me."
While the old man was talking nonsense, there was some movement on the side of the fishhook. A bright golden vortex slowly appeared at the place where the fishhook was placed, with the fishhook as the center.
Within the whirlpool, bright golden light spots appeared, and then a red fish more than three feet long appeared and took the initiative to bite the hook.
The old man flicked the bamboo pole, and the red fish jumped onto the boat along the fishing line, causing a splash of water.
Chen Qingshan and others were shocked when they saw this fish. It looked like a koi carp and had huge fins. It looked like a person's flowing robes. It was the fish that Chen Qingshan and others were looking for.
The old man didn't even use the fox-faced fishhook, but relied on the ordinary bamboo pole in his hand to catch this big fish with a hint of luck.
"Your uncle is still your uncle." The old man held the bamboo pole and said to the dumbfounded people.
With quick eyes and quick hands, the fox-like face pressed down on the boat, and the deck sunk in. A pool appeared from the boat, and the fish was included in it.
As the fish was collected, Chen Qingshan understood that he could go back to celebrate the New Year.
Tianjingsha rushed up, looked at the old man, touched his body a few more times, and then looked at the old man with admiration.
"Uncle, if you have such ability, why are you being bullied by the servants on that boat?"
The old man had no choice but to spread his hands and said: "I just know how to fish. I don't know how to fight. I can't beat others. Isn't it normal?"
"How did you catch this big fish?" Chen Qingshan asked.
The old man proudly pointed to his bamboo pole and said: "No one but my hands, let alone this fish, is a dragon snake. As long as it bites my hook, its life is mine."
, life and death, all in one thought."
"Okay, having said that, let's take this fish as a thank you gift for saving me yesterday. The uncle is leaving. Young man, help get the uncle's boat into the water. The uncle can't lift it." The old man put it away.
Bamboo pole, said to Chen Qingshan.
Chen Qingshan only thought that the old man was an expert, so he followed suit.
Putting the small broken boat into the water again, Chen Qingshan helped the old man get on the boat, and the boat floated slowly into the distance.
Several people bowed in the direction the old man left.
