Jiang Wang had never had the habit of fishing in the past. Fishing was a pastime to pass the time.
He just felt that he didn't have enough time, so there was nothing to spend. But after his trip to the mountains and seas, and seeing Wang Changji's graceful fishing in the mountains and seas, he became interested. But occasionally he would go out with a fishing rod.
Practicing while waiting for fish.
Often when you forget yourself in cultivation, the fish will eat up all the bait. You go out with an empty pole and come back with an empty pole, but you just want to be at ease.
Laoshan is named after "Lao", but I don't know where Lao is.
The mountain is neither high nor special.
Only the area is quite vast.
Many towns can be gathered around the mountain, which shows that the mountain is quite stable.
What Jiang Wang saw was green and green, full of vitality, with the occasional chirping of birds, making the mountain even more serene.
The old mountain is naturally divided into two circles. The outer layer is where the surrounding townspeople rely on the mountains to eat, and there are no traces of deer, deer, foxes and rabbits. The inner layer is almost uninhabited and has no traces of animals.
Chitan is hidden deep in the mountains and is not easy to find. It is not only blocked by terrain, but also covered by naturally formed mazes. As time goes by, there are also many traces of human adjustments. However, the latest adjustment,
It goes back forty years.
"Daxia Fangzhi" only uses the word "hidden" to summarize it.
If ordinary people really don't understand anything and go into the mountains to look for Chitan, they will definitely find nothing.
After the decisive battle with Yangcheng, the entire Xia Dynasty surrendered under the command of the Qi army. Almost everything in Xia Ting was taken over by the Governor's Mansion of Southern Xia. Jiang Wang was granted the title here and rightfully took control of the mountain. "Laoshan"
"Mountain Formation Picture" and "Chitan Formation Explanation" are naturally available in the Hou Mansion, and Lian Que also takes them with him when he goes out.
Although Jiang Wang no longer has it in hand, it is naturally different for the Shenlin cultivator.
At this moment, he was walking slowly, his spiritual consciousness had spread out, and he was searching the wild mountains. It didn't take long before he found a place in the old mountain that was different from other places.
Arriving straight to the target Shanjun, the maze formation has been opened by Lian Que. It can still obscure the sight of mortals, but it can no longer block Qianyang's red pupils.
But we can see that the mountains are uniformly ringed, low-altitude thunderclouds are faint, and electric snakes are flashing. From time to time, electric lights fall on the water, causing ripples.
This mountain col is like a teacup, Leiyun is like a tea lid, and Chitan is like the cup of tea.
The water in the pool looked extremely clear, but the bottom was dark and the end was nowhere to be seen. Thunder snakes occasionally entered the water to play, but they did not cause much change.
It's very peaceful.
There is a kind of power that has never changed since ancient times.
If the legend is true and this pool was transformed by the blood and tears of Chi Kiss, then its history can be traced back to the medieval times. It is indeed ancient. Perhaps the name Laoshan came from this?
Lian Que set up a stove in the pool and set up a large pot, and was cooking something. A closer look revealed that there was only sinking water without traces in the pot, and nothing else.
Simply boil water?
Chu Mo held the cattail leaf fan in both hands and worked hard to fan the stove.
The fire was burning brightly, but the water in the pot didn't react at all.
One embarrassing thing is... there are no fish in Chitan.
Jiang Wang had read Daxia Fangzhi, especially the part about Chitan.
But when he casually took the fishing rod and went up the mountain, he didn't expect this at all.
"Daxia Fangzhi" said: There is no bottom here,
The water in the pool is so blocked that it will freeze if you touch it. Nine hundred feet is the limit for the presence of the gods. Although the gods have power, they cannot sink any further.
There is a maze of formations outside this Chi Pond, with thunder clouds above it, and electric snakes swim across the water from time to time. The water in the Pond is extremely cold, and even the Shenlin monks below 900 feet cannot penetrate deep. What kind of fish can live here?
If there really are fish that can live here, how can they be caught with an ordinary fishing rod like his?
What was even more embarrassing was that Chu Yao had already seen the fishing rod in his hand.
Seeing Jiang Wang, Chu Mo's face immediately overflowed with joy, but he did not dare to put down what he was doing. He continued to fan the flames and shouted: "Master!"
His slender eyes glanced to the side: "Are you coming to fish?"
Jiang Wang simply stopped hiding the fishing rod and just said "hmm" and walked casually down the mountain along the path, his steps were graceful and his clothes were fluttering.
Chu Mo turned his head and looked at Chitan for a long time, then turned back and asked inexplicably: "But there are no fish here?"
Jiang Wanggao smiled enigmatically and said to Lian Que first, "What are you cooking?"
Lianque looked at the iron pot without blinking, and used a bamboo wine spoon to scoop out a little water from time to time and put it into the bamboo tube by category. He also used a wooden wine spoon to pour out some water.
The wooden tube was made in the same way. He replied casually: "The water is too cold. Only by boiling it can you judge the quality."
Jiang Wang laughed and said, "Aren't they all the same after boiling?"
Lianque didn't take it seriously: "Its performance at each stage will tell me its story. If you don't understand it, you won't be able to use it correctly."
The Dayan Lian family once made the mayor of Luo Di Cave, preventing disasters from entering the world, and became a famous and famous family for a while.
Changluo Caves are still far away from Laoshan on the map, but the only distance is the entrance of Changluo Caves in Changluo Mansion. After truly removing the influence of formations, the interior of Changluo Caves is actually not far from Chitan.
, and there is a certain connection between the two. Jiang Wang had already noticed this when he suppressed the disaster.
The reason why I brought Lian Que to Chitan was to let the current leader of the Lian clan try to see if he could regain his former glory.
But Lianque seems to be only interested in the water that tempers fire.
Jiang Wang glanced at the stove and continued walking forward calmly. While untying the fishing line, he said to Chu Mo: "Why are you fishing?
Chu Mo rolled his eyes: "Fish!"
"What is fish?" Jiang Wang asked again.
"White meat! The ones with thorns are delicious." Chu Mo said, adding: "There are also those without thorns."
Jiang Wang shook his head: "This is a small fish."
"The big fish is like that too." Chu Mo was puzzled.
Jiang Wangyun smiled lightly: "The size you mentioned is a narrow size. The big fish I mentioned is not the big fish you think." Chu Mo's little face wrinkled up: "It sounds so confused."
"It's okay to be confused." Lian Que said coldly.
Jiang Wang quickly glared at him: "Where are the disciples?
Don't interrupt!"
Lian Que said: "I think this kid is quite smart, but your teaching has delayed him. You might as well learn from me."
Chu Yao was anxious: "I don't want to be a blacksmith! My master is so cool!"
It was about the future, and he no longer wanted to be afraid of this ugly man. Besides, with his master by his side, could he still be eaten? He dared to force his mouth, but his hands still kept moving.
Jiang Wang laughed loudly.
Lian Que shrugged.
Chu Mo cleverly said with a smile: "Master, tell me about the big fish. What kind of big fish are you talking about?"
Jiang Wang was calm and talked eloquently: "The big fish floats between the sky and the earth. It jumps up into the blue clouds, dives down into the quiet springs, breathes in the high clouds and mist, and wraps up the nine-curved haze. It must have momentum when it rises, and it must make a sound when it moves."
Suddenly it is like a fairy wind, suddenly it becomes a Taoist bone, suddenly it is seen by thousands of people, suddenly it appears for ten thousand years, and it is this fish that has been fishing for the teacher.
Chu Mo's words are all in a fog, and it's a pity that he can't even study. Just hearing these words makes it clear which word corresponds to which one.
It is very difficult to know which word corresponds to which word.
He looked at his master with slender eyes.
"Hey, kid! Do you know what I'm doing?" Lianque asked unwillingly.
Chu Mo didn't care what he was doing, but after all, he was a little afraid of him, so he still took another cooperative look.
The ugly man was still ladling the pond water into the bamboo and wooden tubes repeatedly. The weight was the same every time, but the temperature of the water was only slightly different.
"Just scoop out the water," Chu Mo said.
"It's just filling water." Lianque said seriously:
"It's all packed up."
"Chu, please ignore him." Jiang Wang interrupted: "Did you understand what Master just said to you?"
Chu Mo shook his head and said honestly: "I don't understand."
Jiang Wang nodded with satisfaction: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you will understand later... Fishing is a kind of artistic conception."
At this time, he had untied the fishing line, set the hook, and put out the bait.
Holding the pole in one hand, he strolled to the center of Chitan, sat down cross-legged on the mirror-like water, and slowly lowered the fishing line.
He used the thunder clouds as a cover and the cold water as a bed to fish in the empty mountains.
Wearing a green shirt and shining on the clear water, there are thunder snakes swimming around.
Not to mention anything else, the posture is indeed very chic.
Chu Mo firmly remembered Master's words in his heart and felt that it was very rewarding and very happy.
Isn’t this more promising than blacksmithing?
Let’s also say that the water in Chitan is extremely cold, and thunder snakes sometimes swim around. It is actually not easy to put a fishing line into the water.
Behind Jiang Wang's graceful movements, there was a huge Dao Yuan attached to the fishing line, straightening it silently and falling straight to the bottom of the water.
This fishing line is only nine feet long. Compared with Chitan, it cannot go very deep. However, without the protection of Dao Yuan, it cannot go very deep. However, without Dao Yuan's protection, the fishhook would have been frozen and cracked by now.
Even ordinary iron cannot withstand this pool of water. The fishing bait made of earthworms is constantly trying to resist the tendency of frost... But Jiang Wang is sitting cross-legged in the middle of the pool at the moment, and he can completely feel that there is no such thing as frost.
The ever-present chill is invading the body silently.
This kind of coldness is not the summer sun and winter frost, but it penetrates into people’s bones and seeps into their souls.
Where does the cold in Chitan come from?
Where does that extremely dark bottom lead to?
There is no record in the relevant information that can be found.
Jiang Wang did not rush to investigate, but silently operated the Xuantian Glazed Technique. Here, he had to fight against the cold water of Chitan, and at the same time he had to fight against the cumulus clouds, thunder and lightning, and at the same time, he had to carefully protect the fishing rods and lines. This was exactly what he was practicing.
A good environment for practicing physical exercises.
The "Xuantian Liuli Kung Fu" presented by Tu Hu may sound very similar to Buddhist Kung Fu at first, but it is not.
"Xuantian" is the sky in the north.
"Liu Li" is crystal clear, without dirt or defects.
It is an orthodox grassland true skill, and one of the few exercises on the grassland that is independent of the Cangtu Divine Religion system.
Or to put it in a more accurate way - it is one of the rare prairie techniques that has not been erased by the Cangtu Divine Religion.
Tu Hu really put his heart into this technique.
It is neutral and peaceful, has strong compatibility, will not conflict with the body of heaven, and can adapt well to Jiang Wang's current physical condition.
So far, Jiang Wang has practiced the Four Spirits Body Refining Technique, taken Shimencao, experienced the Heavenly Bath in the Hot Spring Palace, tempered the body with the light of Heaven, and tempered the body with starlight, and then achieved the Divine Presence and the Golden Body and Chalcedony.
The strength of the physical body is actually not that bad. It is difficult to gain any improvement with ordinary body training techniques.
At the same time, we must consider that the other side of "golden body and chalcedony, youth and immortality" is that it is no longer easy to change, and it can only be destroyed if you die. No matter how strong some body training techniques are, they cannot be practiced anymore if they are not suitable for one's own condition. This is not comparable to
Before God comes, there is still a lot of room for adjustment.
Jiang Wang is based on the mystery of Huang Wei's true divine presence. He achieved it in the state of "Three Nothings" on the battlefield. The body of divine presence can be said to be perfect. If it is not suitable for the body training method, it will cause flaws. Even if it is big
The magnitude of the increase in defense is not worth the gain.
The Xuantian Glazed Technique is different. It has no nature of its own. It is like the sky that contains everything, and the glaze that reflects everything. In the history of the grassland, it was usually used as a supplement to the spiritual practice system.
Once this skill is completed, it will be able to integrate this physical body very well.
Mr. Jiang Hou came today with a pole, originally to enjoy leisurely and practice quietly.
Now it’s not easy to hold the fishing rod, but practice is still practice.
The glazed clear light circled around him, and he casually ordered: "Chu Mo, stand on the Taiyi White Tiger Stand."
This pile skill is very suitable for laying the foundation and can help Chu Mo complete the physical preparation before opening the pulse. He had already taught it on the way to southern Xinjiang.
"Wrong!" Chu Mo quickly put down the cattail leaf fan, put on a decent posture on the side, and stood up.
Lianque didn't care about their master and apprentice, he just strengthened the fire and analyzed the water in Chitan.
The place was quiet for a while, everyone was doing their own thing.
There was only the crackle of firewood in the stove, and occasional thunder and lightning.
Time slipped away quietly like this. When Xue Rushi walked into the mountain col, he saw such a scene. But he saw the monks sitting like bodhisattva on the pool, fishing alone, and the little children standing beside the pool, gnashing their teeth, and making a fuss.
The ugly man next to him is concentrating on testing the water, with a pious expression. This scene is surprisingly harmonious.
He waited quietly at the col's entrance without saying a word.
Although he set out to visit Marquis Wu'an as soon as he learned that he had come to southern Xinjiang. Although he failed to visit the mansion, he hurriedly went into the mountains. Although he was full of heart and loyalty,
He was eager to express but he just waited quietly.
Of course he knew that Marquis Wu An would not miss any of them. "How did Ru Shi find this place?" Jiang Wang shifted his gaze.
By the way, he waved his hand to Chu Mo, signaling the boy to rest.
Chu Mo relaxed and followed the method taught by his master to relax his muscles and activate his blood circulation, while looking at the visitor curiously. Judging from his clothes and temperament, he was also a high official.
"Master Marquis." Xue Rushi bowed respectfully and then said: "The general heard that Master Hou had arrived in southern Xinjiang, so he came to visit as soon as possible. He was anxious to listen to Master Hou's teachings, so he chased him to the mountains...
It would be a great sin to disturb Lord Marquis's elegant mood!"
Xia Fang generals like Xue Rushi, who abandoned darkness and turned to light on the battlefield, have now been entrusted with important responsibilities in Xia. Zhong Xuan Sheng's original promise is not empty talk. Under the rule of Qi Ting, the Xia people will never be excluded, because what Emperor Qi wants is
Eternally unified, all Xia people will be Qi people.
In particular, Xue Rushi followed Jiang Wangzhong and Xuan Sheng back and forth, and made many contributions in the war. He persuaded surrender, treated prisoners, and attacked fortresses.
, has repeatedly made contributions in Zhan Jingli. He has participated in persuading surrender, managing prisoners, and attacking fortresses. Now he is temporarily serving as a deputy magistrate. As long as he improves his cultivation level, he can remove the word "generation". Compared with the original
It took many years of hard work to become the general of Dai City, which is nothing like the same.
Xia State has a prefecture-city system, and the prefect is equivalent to the county guard of Qi State, which is of course an important position.
Previously, the old system was used to govern Xia for the sake of stability. This time, after the Southern Xinjiang official examination, the status was restored, the righteousness was unified, and the Qi court's rule over Southern Xia was strengthened. All regions will take advantage of the situation and change their prefectures into counties.
Convergence with Qi Di These are all mentioned by Su Guanying.
The prefect was a high-ranking official, so when facing Jiang Wang, Xue Rushi still called himself the junior general, which was of course an expression of loyalty.
"I came to Nanxia to recuperate this time. I was thinking that I am not very familiar with this place. Ru Shi, you came just in time." Jiang Wang also acted very friendly and introduced them in a casual tone: "This is my good friend Lian Que.
, the head of the Lian family of the Nanyao military casting family. This is Xue Rushi, my former subordinate on the battlefield. We fought side by side, and thanks to his great contributions, he is now the prefect."
"Temporary, just temporary." Xue Rushi saluted Lian Que politely: "How lucky is Xue to be able to meet the Lord of the Weapon Master's Holy Land today!"
Lian Que didn't like these sycophants by nature, but he wouldn't just rely on his temper to cause trouble just because he was friends with Jiang Wang. He responded in a dignified manner: "Prefect Xue shows his talent. This sound is lucky.
It should be Lian who speaks out.
"This guy is my new disciple, his name is Chu Mo." Jiang Wang pointed at Chu Mo and introduced: "Chu Mo, my name is Chu Mo.
Chu Mo said politely like a young adult: "Chu Mo has met Magistrate Xue!
Xue Rushi smiled and bowed to him: "Xue Rushi has met the young master."
Chu Mo smiled happily, feeling that this man was really pleasing to the eye. But Jiang Wang casually put the fishing rod flat on the water, stood up and walked to Xue Rushi: "Perhaps we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's take a few steps together?"
"The general will not get what he asked for." Xue Rushi quickly turned to Xue Rushi to find a relationship. This was also a human necessity, and Jiang Wang could completely understand it. Besides, Xue Rushi did have the merit and hard work, so he was qualified to speak like this.
But since Jiang Wang agreed to be the examiner, and since he was determined to clean up the examination style, it was absolutely impossible for him to exploit this favoritism.
If you are not upright yourself, how can you rectify others?
So, how to refuse appropriately without alienating Xue Rushi?
This is probably a simple question for Chong Xuansheng, but Jiang Wang needs to think about it seriously.
If he is too cold and hard-hearted, all of Chong Xuan Sheng's earlier investment in this person will be in vain. The fat man will definitely not give up with him when he looks back.
The two of them walked in the mountains and forests, chatting for a few words.
Jiang Wang asked casually: "Have you heard about the official examination in Southern Xinjiang?"
Xue Rushi said respectfully: "I have heard about it, but I don't know when it will be implemented."
"Just these two months." Jiang Wang said.
Xue Rushi placed a heavy foot on his feet: "Master Hou is still well-informed."
"Ru Shi." Jiang Wang walked ahead with his hands behind his hands and sighed: "I always thought you were a smart person, but this time, you are not smart enough."
In the past, Jiang Wang on the battlefield was a god who could kill a god, and a Buddha could kill a Buddha. Xue Rushi was forced to surrender on the spot. Today, the Marquis of Wu'an of Daqi is even more glorious and powerful in all directions.
Even though there was no angry expression, just a simple sentence, Xue Rushi felt uneasy in his heart and swallowed hard: "I am so stupid that I don't know what Lord Hou is referring to?"
"Do you know who the examiner is for this Southern Xinjiang official examination?" Jiang Wang asked quietly.
Of course Xue Rushi couldn't know.
Even Jiang Wang himself was assigned a temporary task today.
"I wonder if it's some gentleman in the governor's palace or some general in the division commander's palace?" He carefully observed Jiang Wang, wondering if Marquis Wu'an could get along with that person.
"It's me." Jiang Wang said directly.
Xue Rushi was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Wang had already sighed with regret: "You said you came to me at this critical moment, didn't you just trap yourself in rumors? It makes people who don't know the truth feel that you, Xue Rushi, are going through the back door!
You have no shortage of merits and abilities, so why bother making people suspicious?"
"I really don't know, general." Xue Rushi said calmly.
"Since I am presiding over this official examination, I must not allow any favoritism or malpractice to occur. Malpractice in the official examination is a major crime that undermines the imperial court. Regardless of identity or background, I am honored by the emperor, and my reputation is guaranteed here. I will win.
Kill with the sword!"
As soon as he finished saying these murderous words, Xue Rushi turned pale.
Jiang Wang said again: "You are my old subordinate, and you have good intentions to come here to visit me today. It's a pity that we are at this embarrassing time. Although we are innocent, people's words are formidable. During the official examination, I
Hou will be stricter with you, this is also to protect you, I hope you can understand, Ru Shi."
Xue Rushi wiped his sweat and said: "I understand, I understand completely. Having a selfless examiner like Mr. Marquis is a blessing to Southern Xinjiang!"
Jiang Wang took a few steps and then said: "The days ahead are still very long. No matter what the result of this official examination will be, you must remember that your contribution will never be erased. This is what I give to you.
Promise of."
Xue Rushi breathed a sigh of relief: "Rushi thanks you, Lord Marquis!"
Jiang Wang stopped and said, "Even so, your cultivation level must keep up."
He reached out and patted the thorn tree next to him and asked:
I want to use this tree as a pillar, is this tree okay?"
"It can only be cut down for firewood..." Xue Rushi said with a look of shame on his face: "I am ashamed of myself." Bao Jiangwang looked at him and said seriously: "I believe that you, Xue Rushi, are a pillar, but you can't just let me believe it.
, do you understand?”
Xue Rushi solemnly said: "The general will definitely work hard. Jue Jiang Wang looked at him and said seriously: "I believe that you, Xue Rushi, are a pillar, but you can't just let me believe it. Do you understand?"
Xue Rushi said solemnly: "General, I will work hard and will never let down the expectations of the Marquis!"
"Let's go." Jiang Wang stepped forward and raised his chin: "Let me tell you about the officialdom in southern Xinjiang, who is partying with whom, who is a hypocrite and who is a good person... I am still confused now. I rely on you to clear up the confusion.
!”
"At the end of the day, you should know everything you know and say it to the end."
Broken light passed through the forest, and while they were talking, the two of them stepped on the fallen leaves and drifted away.
