Chapter 8 Fishing for the River God

Zuo Chen started to put on the bait.

Before he traveled through time, he liked fishing very much. He would sit by the river for a whole day with a cup of tea and a pack of cigarettes.

But I didn’t expect that I would catch fish again after the time travel, and it was a big fish.

Of course, the equipment now cannot be compared with the treasures that were obtained at great expense in the previous life. The fishing rod is a bamboo rod, the material of the fishing line is unfamiliar to Zuo Chen, and there are no fish balls for making bait. It seems that the owner of this ship should use the large fish net in the cabin instead of a fishing rod for fishing.

But it doesn’t matter, Zuo Chen has his own tricks for making a nest.

Just as Zuo Chen was getting ready, Caiyi beside him began to tremble:

"Master Zuo!? Who are you trying to catch?"

"River God, didn't I just say that?"

"Master Zuo! The river god is the deity worshipped in the largest temple in Qingzhou. Even if you want to see him, you shouldn't use a fishing rod!"

Caiyi's voice was filled with tears. Zuo Chen blinked and looked at Caiyi with some confusion:
"I wanted to ask before coming here, is there not a single golden elixir in the entire Qingzhou City? Why are the little monsters in the lake allowed to cause trouble? Or is this river god actually a fish pet raised by some powerful person?"

Caiyi looked at Zuo Chen with clear and stupid eyes:

"Master? What is a golden elixir?"

Well, let’s fish this river god out and interrogate him before making a decision.

He injected the Qi in his body into the bamboo pole, slowly extending it upwards and landing on the fishing line.

At this moment, the sky was just setting in the sunset. Under the influence of Zuo Chen's breath and the sunlight, the entire fishing line glowed with a light golden light, as if it was woven with fine gold thread.

What should I use to make a nest?
The spiritual energy cultivated by Zuo Chen is the best material for making nests!

The Taoist scripture in his hand recorded that animals need to accumulate spiritual energy on their own to cultivate themselves, which takes a span of hundreds of years before they can transform into humans, demons, or spirits.

As for animals, the Yang fire of the sun's spiritual energy is too strong and most monsters cannot bear it. The moon's spiritual energy is soft and can be absorbed, but the efficiency is too low.

The true spiritual energy or innate true energy refined by humans in their bodies has become a treasure that monsters can absorb most quickly.

This is why many evil creatures like to devour young boys and girls.

The amount of flesh of two humans is not even enough to fill the gaps between teeth; the true essence in the dantian is the real treasure.

A little bit of spiritual energy spread out along the fishing line, and the entire fishing line in the lake seemed to be stretched longer by an external force. Looking down from the surface of the lake, a golden thread was sinking towards the depths of the lake.

There was no movement on the fishing line for the time being, so Zuo Chen was not in a hurry and just sat on the small boat.

Caiyi was extremely frightened, she hugged the frame of the wooden boat next to her with her hands and feet, as if she was afraid that a wave would arise and knock her off the boat.

After waiting for half an incense stick and seeing that nothing happened, Caiyi cautiously let go of the shelf.

She approached Zuo Chen cautiously, smiled awkwardly and said:

"Master Zuo, we haven't seen any fish in half a day. Should we go back? I know you are very capable, but this is a bit... dangerous?"

"Miss Caiyi, you really like to chat when you're nervous."

Hearing Zuo Chen's ridicule, Cai Yi exploded:

“Master Zuo! It’s not that I like to chat! The temple priests are all capable. They can at least master some magical powers. Our river god is the best among them. He is quite good in the whole Daliang. You said you want to fish it up, I...you..."

After saying a lot of things, Caiyi finally paused and looked at Zuo Chen cautiously:
"Master, can you defeat the river god?"

"should?"

Should? You said it should be done for such a terrible thing?!

Even if you can protect yourself, I am still with you!
I don’t have any special abilities!

Before Caiyi could finish her words, she suddenly found that the boat under her feet was shaking.

She let out a strange "quack" cry, and hugged the rack with her limbs, wrapping herself tightly on the boat, fearing that she would be thrown off.

Zuo Chen sat steadily on the boat, with spiritual energy surging in his eyes. He clearly saw a big green fish chasing the fishing hook and rushing up under the boat.

The black air in the lake seems to be exactly the same as the black air on the big green fish. I guess this is the river god!
"Took the bait!"

It was a sunny day with sunset near the boat, and half of the sky was dyed red by the sun. But with the appearance of the big blue fish, thick black clouds appeared out of nowhere in the sky, covering half of the sky and blocking the remaining light of the setting sun.

An evil wind blew up from the center of the lake, causing ripples on the lake and the boat to sway. The entire small wooden boat crackled, as if it could not withstand the huge external force.

Along with the noise was Caiyi's scream:

"The ship is breaking apart! Help, help, help!"

Caiyi was almost scared to tears and her legs went weak, but Zuo Chen just held down the fishing rod with his hand, as steady as a rock.

He was not in a hurry to catch the fish, but instead felt the force coming from the fishing rod.

It's not too big and doesn't look like it has any special abilities.

Only this fish was struggling a lot, and the fishing rod in Zuo Chen's hand was an ordinary object, so it would easily break if he pulled it up so hard.

Then I will have to compensate the store, which is not cost-effective.

A flash of lightning appeared in Zuo Chen's hand, and the palm lightning method went directly up along the fishing rod. When it reached the top, it rushed into the water along the fishing line and entered the lake in the blink of an eye.

"Crack!"

A muffled thunder sounded and a blue light appeared!
The evil wind suddenly stopped, and the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed with the wind.

The surface of the lake returned to the moment when the setting sun cast its afterglow, as if everything just now was just an illusion and nothing had happened.

It was already late at night, and the fishermen who were planning to pack up and go back suddenly noticed a flash of blue in the lake. Then a few fish flipped over and floated up in the lake, their gills still moving, as if they had fainted.

The fishermen looked around but couldn't find the source, so they could only kneel on the boat and kowtow twice towards the center of the lake, thinking that it was the river god who had shown kindness.

In the center of the lake, Caiyi could feel the waves around her gradually calming down. She carefully opened her tightly closed eyes, and found that the evil scene around her had disappeared.

Looking around, Caiyi saw that Zuo Chen was holding a fish basket from the boat in his hand. In the fish basket was a fat bighead carp, which was flapping its wings constantly.

This fish seemed to be quite strong. It was swaying in the fish basket as if it wanted to tear the entire basket apart.

Caiyi could actually see a "ferocious" look in the fish's eyes!

"This is?"

"River God."

Zuo Chen stretched out his hand and slapped the fish basket, and the fish in the basket immediately calmed down.

The original "ferocity" turned into "fear" in an instant.

The fish made a few more turns and finally raised its head, looking at Zuo Chen resignedly.

"Master, please spare my life!"
