Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 70: So rare

On the eighth day of May, on Laohua Mountain in the northeast of Jiudaokou County, there was a man walking on the mountain road holding a book, but paying attention to his surroundings with his peripheral vision and hearing.

He was wearing a gray long-sleeved robe, with a wooden hairpin stuck in a small bun on his head, with bangs in front of his hair. He was carrying a baggage and an umbrella. He seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact he was not walking very fast. slow.

In order to prevent getting lost, Jiyuan has been traveling at a slow pace these days. When I have the opportunity, I ask for directions and stop briefly in various counties to appreciate the customs and customs that I would never have seen in my previous life.

Of course there is a purpose for walking slowly on Laohua Mountain this time.

Although Laohua Mountain is far less vast than Niokui Mountain, it is not small either. It has a radius of about twenty or thirty miles. Don’t underestimate this number. A radius of twenty or thirty miles is equivalent to a circular area with a radius of more than ten kilometers. In addition, the mountain road is difficult to travel, and it is already quite difficult for ordinary people who are not experienced mountaineers to cross Laohua Mountain.

And there is a deep pool in Laohua Mountain, which was actually mentioned in the heretic biography. There have been few stories in Jizhou for many years, so Ji Yuan planned to set aside a day to visit the deep pool. there.

What are you doing? fishing!

There is a saying in the heretical biography: There is Laohua Mountain in Jizhou, Dazhen Kingdom. There is a secluded pool in the mountain. There are no rivers on the top and no ground on the bottom. The fish in the pool are the essence of the water.

Ji Yuan just wants to see if this fish is the so-called water essence, or was blown by a typhoon and tornado, or both.

At this moment, when he came to the corner of a mountain col, Ji Yuan finally found what he was looking for. He collected the book directly, stuffed it into his arms, then stood up and jumped towards a burst of green in the distance.

Learning strength from a few trees in the mountain forest, we finally landed in front of a bamboo forest.

Look at the bamboos in this bamboo forest. Most of them are long and thin and sway with the mountain wind. They are exactly Ji Yuan’s ideal fishing rods.

Take a piece of suitable size and length, bend down and tap lightly on its root with two fingers.

With a "click~" sound, the bamboo cut smoothly.

While walking in the mountains, he chopped off the bamboo branches with his knife. Within a moment, a slender green bamboo pole appeared in Ji Yuan's hand.

I grabbed it and shook it, and it made a "woohoo...woohoo..." sound that broke through the air, which was very pleasant to listen to.

"Looks good!"

Ji Yuan is very satisfied with the bamboo.

In the baggage were purchased fishing lines and hooks, and he had no need for a buoy.

What makes Jiyuan a little curious is that the fishing line he bought is also a transparent silk thread, and it is also quite tough. After asking the seller, he found out that it is made by extruding silk pulp and stretching it. Each fishing line They all represent one or a few poor silkworms that failed to spin cocoons...

When Ji Yuan reached the deep pool, a brand new emerald green fishing rod was ready. He did not need additional processing and reinforcement, because once a fish bites the hook, as long as it is not too exaggerated, the fish will be affected at that moment. The pole is supplemented by spiritual energy and can be thrown up directly.

The deep pool in front of me is round in shape, with a diameter of only ten or twenty feet at most, which is much smaller than Ji Yuan imagined. Look at the water in the pool, it is turquoise green, but deeper, it is dark and black, and you can't see anything at all. There was no movement either.

"Can there be fish here?"

After muttering, Ji Yuan found a cool and suitable place to cast his fishing rod. The bait was not earthworms, but a grain of cooked rice, but it contained a trace of spiritual energy.

Thread the bait on the thin hook and swing the fishing rod.

The flexible green bamboo swings with force.

With a "dong~" sound, the fishhook was thrown into the pool, causing a small ripple.

Fishing requires patience. With Ji Yuan's keen sense of touch, he can immediately feel any special movement of a straight fishhook under the water, without having to worry about missing the fish if he is distracted.

So Ji Yuan took out a book to read. This time he read "Tong Ming Ce".

Although it is also a Tianlu book, the content is completely different. Ji Yuan had briefly read it before and knew that Tongmingce was much more "serious" than the heretical legends.

Although it is not a true method of cultivating immortality, it points out the difficulties and dangers in various cultivation passes. The author of the book should have collected the opinions of many cultivators and combined it with his own experience to summarize it. His book even includes some Shinto and fairy content.

In Ji Yuan's words, it is a book that can truly benefit those who cultivate immortality.

But why is Tongmingce still a "miscellaneous book"? Ji Yuan's point of view is that the author of the book has too many assumptions and guesses, and the proportion of practical information in the book is relatively small. And who can read the Tianlu Book does not know that content, so it has become a "miscellaneous book" "Yes."

But Ji Yuan is different. Although the content is much duller than that taught by heretics, it is still useful knowledge. However, theoretically Ji Yuan cannot use this knowledge for the time being because he does not even have Qi training skills.

"Practice qi to transform into spirit, spirit appears and law is born, it is magic power and spiritual power... The so-called mysterious entrance to the heart is either dispensable or crucial..."

‘Hey... the road is still long! ’

I was fishing and reading at the same time. After waiting like this, an hour passed directly. There was no movement from Ji Yuan's fishing rod, so he couldn't help but lift the fishing rod and take a look, and found that the rice grains were still there.

‘Pagans are deceiving people? Or is this fish extinct over time? ’

Looked up at the sun high in the sky.

‘Could it be at night? ’

Ji Yuan is not impatient. Perhaps it was from the mountain temple that he had developed good qi-nurturing skills.

I took out a piece of bread from the bag and started to chew it slowly. I bought this pancake in Jiudaokou County. It is as big as two palms put together. There are 5 pieces in the bag. It is still soft and the pancake is slightly sweet. There are some dried vegetable fillings, which are very tasty.

As the sky grew darker, the sunset began to appear on the horizon and the stars above began to show, but Ji Yuan heard a special sound in his ears, not from the deep pool, but from the mountains.

"Hehehe...there is Bishuitan ahead, we are finally here! Walk faster, walk faster!"

"Oh, you are so energetic, I am exhausted!"

Crying sounds came intermittently from a distance. As the sound approached, waves of light footsteps also entered Ji Yuan's ears.

A man and a woman, two children of about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing clean light blue silk robes, climbed over the rocks and jumped over the stream, and walked through the trees to the most quiet place in Laohua Mountain.

"Oh, there is someone there!"

The girl among them was shocked, and her companion seemed to have just seen Ji Yuan in the distance.

"Really, it's getting dark. What is he doing? Fishing?"

"It seems so! Hahaha... He thought he could catch it!"

"Let's go, let's go and tease him!"

"Hee hee!"

The two of them slowed down at a long distance and quietly approached the deep pool. It seemed that they wanted to scare Ji Yuan. When they were about ten meters away, the two of them looked at each other, smiled, and then held hands in perfect understanding. The frame opens its mouth forward.

"Hey~~!"

The picture of a fisherman who was so frightened that he threw his fishing rod away did not appear at all. Ji Yuan looked like a deaf man, holding the fishing rod and reading the book on his lap, taking a bite of the pancake from time to time.

"Not scared?"

"Is he deaf?"

"Disappointment!" "Hey!"

The two children walked towards the edge of the deep pool feeling quite bored. At this moment, Ji Yuan's upright voice suddenly rang out.

"Is it fun?"

The two people who were walking were suddenly frightened and trembled.

"Are you not deaf?"

"How unreasonable are you to scare us?"

The two children, a boy and a girl, seemed a little angry. Ji Yuan turned around and smiled.

“It’s so rare!”

The two children suddenly lost their momentum and looked at each other with slightly stunned expressions.
