Chapter 10: The fatal disaster - Enlightenment "Three of them were caught in the net, so there are a total of 20 including the fleet. In the past, I went to Hongliao Beach to fish, but I usually came back empty-handed. Today I'm really lucky." Chen Ping shook his head and said, "Of course, if not for this, you wouldn't have encountered the group of baby dolphins and experienced this life-threatening experience.""Good and bad fortune are interdependent, as are time and luck. Uncle Chen, perhaps our luck has come." Song Lin smiled, untied the five-tooth silver carp, and put it into the fish warehouse under the deck. "Today, we are supposed to..." He looked towards the fish warehouse, but found that there were only two of the three bighead carps that Chen Ping had mentioned. Song Lin thought he had seen it wrong and looked again carefully. There are really only two. "Uncle Chen?" He looked at Chen Ping in confusion. The bighead carp is such a valuable item, Chen Ping should not have made a mistake in remembering it. "When we passed the Baiping Ferry, we encountered Huanglu'an's river patrol team and had our water pumped out." Chen Ping said calmly. "Pumping water?" Song Lin frowned.
"Three out of ten, this is the rule for fishing in Qingyuan Lake." The old fisherman said, "You have to collect rent for selling fish in the market, and you have to collect rent for fishing in the river. The river patrol team guards the Baiping Ferry, and they charge a layer of money for entering and leaving. Only the big merchant ships are exempt from this." "Taking six out of twenty fish is too cruel!" Song Lin said. "So what? Although the Giant Whale Gang has only tens of thousands of members, its influence covers all 25 cities in Minjiang, and they have countless lackeys. As long as the people at the bottom don't starve to death and can get by, that's enough." Chen Ping looked calm, and it seemed that he had already gotten used to it. "Huang Lu'an, river patrol team." Song Lin frowned secretly. I thought about it. The bighead carp nest he found on the bottom of the water was probably located behind the Baipin Ferry. As long as he was careful in the future, there should be no risk of being pumped out. An hour later. The master and disciple returned safely to the shore of Qingyuan Lake. This was the first time Song Lin came to Chen Ping's house. Just as simple as in the previous life. A room, a table and a chair constitute the old fisherman's simple life. When he changed into the old fisherman's clean clothes and dried his hair. The old fisherman had already lit a fire in the house and set up the stove. Two cleaned bighead carps were being cooked in a pot. A few white plant roots were floating in the whitish fish soup, giving off bursts of herbal fragrance. Song Lin was surprised when he saw this. Bighead carp is very valuable and often out of stock.
This old fisherman is usually very frugal, so why did he stew two bighead carps together today? The old fisherman misunderstood and explained, "The food in the pot is white water lily root, a specialty of Baiping Ferry. It has a neutral medicinal property and can invigorate qi and harmonize the body. Bighead carp meat can invigorate qi and strengthen bones, and it should be stewed with white water lily root that is more than three years old for the best effect." Song Lin nodded slightly. The fisherman Sun Er did the same thing in his previous life. The fish soup made from bighead carp meat and white apple root is not delicious, but the effect is at least 30%. Only wealthy families can afford to eat fish meat alone. "Come, sit down and eat." An oil lamp was lit on the table. The old fisherman poured himself a bowl of wine, and the master and his apprentice chatted while eating the fish soup. "Uncle Chen, do you know how to use a knife?" "Knife skills? I'm fifty-seven this year. My hands shake when I hold a knife. How can I know any knife skills?" "You have been living alone all these years. Aren't you lonely?" "Ha, I've gotten used to it. It's more relaxing to be alone. You kid... go back quickly after eating. It makes me upset just looking at you." The old fisherman said with a look of disgust and put another piece of fish into Song Lin's bowl. Until the bottom of the pot of soup is gone. Song Lin stood up, cleaned up the table, and planned to go back to rest. "Wait, let's take the remaining bighead carps back with us." The old fisherman suddenly said. "This……" Song Lin was slightly stunned. He already had a nest of bighead carp, so he didn't care about these fish. The old fisherman was very kind to him, and Song Lin originally intended to give these fish to him as a gift. "Here. This is the fish you caught. Why leave it to me?" The old fisherman said gently, "I know you are holding back your anger. These fish can help you gain some strength. I am an old man and I don't have much hope. I just need enough money to get by." "By the way, bring this bag of white apple roots too." As he said this, he stuffed five fish and a bag of white apple roots into Song Lin's hands and pushed him out of the house. Then with a creak, the door closed. "Thank you, Uncle Chen." Song Linchao bowed silently inside the room and turned to leave. The lights were dim. "Knife skills..." The old fisherman smiled and shook his head. He picked up a bowl of wine on the table and put down the fish-butchering knife in his hand. We laughed and chatted over a cup, and talked about our lives under the dim light.
This knife. He no longer wanted to bring it up. - Back to the shabby house by the river. Song Lin gutted five bighead carps and hung them in a cool place in the house. He planned to keep these fish for himself to eat, to replenish the energy needed for his Qi and Blood Realm practice. Finish these. He began to practice the Gluttonous Food Hundred Qi Diagram. Huhu—— Song Lin's body kept moving in the house, sometimes moving and sometimes still, practicing the stance according to the posture of the strange beast in his memory, moving every muscle and bone in his limbs. It felt like there was a furnace in my stomach, quickly digesting the bighead carp soup I had just eaten. For a moment, he felt his whole body was hot and white steam was coming out of his head. Half an hour later. Song Lin stopped and finished his training, then slowly exhaled. Open your eyes and look radiant. There seems to be endless energy in the whole body. Go to the corner and push the millstone. Song Lin felt that the strength of his arms had increased by at least 10% compared to before, and estimated that it was about 200 kilograms. Compared with the efficiency of the grinding wheel force, the effect of the Taoshi Baiqi Tu is truly amazing. but. Song Lin was not complacent. He knew that his basics were too poor, and it was only because of the supplement of bighead carp meat that his first practice had such obvious results. "Those good fighters who have cultivated tiger and leopard strength have at least 500 kilograms of arm strength. When they throw a punch, it is like the power of a tiger or leopard, and the punch force can reach 1,000 kilograms. I am still far from that now..." With his current physical condition, he would probably not be a match for the bighead carp king at the bottom of the Minjiang River or Boss Yu from the fleet. Not to mention that his real enemy is the Giant Whale Gang. It was Xu Hailong who would be returning from Cangzhou in a month to take over Huangluan. "time!" "I need a talent that can speed up my practice and save me countless time!"
A thought came to my mind. The samsara horoscope rotates counterclockwise. 【Ten years of hard work will make the dam as high as the abyss of heaven.】 [Killing Tribulation - Start] The cold wind howled. Under the shadow of the green willow bank, the river breeze blew up pieces of yellow sand, revealing pieces of dry bones. The flying paper money, the green smoke from the incense and candles... the figures kneeling on the ground to worship their relatives... made the sandbar surrounding the dam look like a dark tomb. Song Lin opened his eyes. A dark shadow suddenly rushed out from beside him. The figure held a fish knife in his hand and moved along the straight embankment like a nimble cheetah, taking several steps at a time. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the waist level. A murderous aura rose into the sky. Sun Er's eyes were bloodshot, and the murderous intent mixed with the blood in his chest overflowed from his body, as if he was covered with a blood-stained robe. "Red veins penetrate his eyes, and energy overflows his body. With the help of the murderous intent in his chest, he has reached the level of Vermillion Bird blood!" Song Lin's eyes flashed. Such movement. This naturally attracted the attention of the purple-robed figure on the embankment. In a moment. A flash of sword-like purple air flowed down from the top of the dam.
