"Turtle Chitose, that's a good name. Where did River God go to visit his friends?" Zhou He asked again.
"Master River God didn't tell Little Turtle." Turtle Chitose said.
"Forget it, you don't want to talk about it, so I'll see for myself." Zhou He reached out and patted Gui Chitose's head.
The next moment, Kame Chitose froze in place.
After a while, Zhou He slowly withdrew his hand, frowning slightly: "I actually went out to visit friends."
"My lord, Xiaogui really didn't lie." Gui Qiantui came back to his senses, and immediately fell to his knees on the river in fright.
The person in front of him can search his memory without hurting his soul, he is definitely a big man who cannot be messed with.
Even if his lord, Shanghe God, came, he would definitely salute respectfully.
"Hurry up and give me one of the commonly used things of your river gods. Remember, don't fool me." Zhou He said.
"Yes, yes, Xiaogui is going here."
Turtle Chitose didn't dare to delay, and quickly sank into the water.
In just 3 minutes, Kame Chitose floated up to the surface of the river again, holding a teacup in his hand.
"My lord, this teacup is the one that Lord River God often uses to drink tea, I wonder if it's okay?" Kame Chitose said.
"But, it's none of your business, go down."
Zhou He flicked his sleeves and disappeared in place.
Only Kame Chitose was left standing alone on the river, the teacup in his hand had already disappeared.
……
Zhou He's figure appeared on the shore.
Looking at the teacup in his hand, immediately, with a thought, he recited the law silently.
The next moment, a thin line invisible to the naked eye emerged and stretched towards the distance.
This thin line can only be seen by Zhou He.This is his spell of finding people.
Zhou He followed the thin line to look over there, and was stunned for a moment.
I saw that the end of the thin line was actually at a place hundreds of meters away.
"Didn't you say you went to visit friends?" Zhou He murmured in surprise.
Zhou He walked over and saw a group of people gathered around the embankment.
And the end of the thin line is right in the middle of this group of people.
Among the crowd was an old fisherman who was over sixty years old and was carrying a bamboo hat.
In front of the old fisherman, there is a big wooden basin.
In the wooden basin, there is a fat golden carp.
The carp was flapping its tail, opening its mouth and spitting out water from time to time.
"This is..." A trace of doubt flashed in Zhou He's eyes.
Because what is connected by thin wires is the golden carp in this wooden basin.
"The old man has already collected the net, and there are not many goods to hit, but the water suddenly becomes muddy."
"According to the old man's many years of fishing experience, there must be a big fish in the water."
"So, the old man dropped the net again, and when it was time to collect the net, he almost capsized my fishing boat."
"In the end, I still took it up and caught this big guy." The old fisherman stroked his beard with a proud expression on his face.
"Whether it's the scales, the fins or the tail, they are all golden."
"The old man has been fishing for decades, but he has never seen such a rare thing all over his body."
The old fisherman said with emotion.
"Really amazing."
"I have been fishing for twenty years, and I have never seen such a catch."
"Yeah, my husband is really lucky."
The people on the side began to discuss.
At this time, someone asked: "Old man, how much are you going to sell this golden carp for?"
Hearing this, the old fisherman raised the corner of his mouth slightly, pulled his throat, and said: "This golden carp weighs about forty catties, and it is all golden from top to bottom, which is extremely rare."
"If you keep it at home, or give it to the housekeeper, or invite relatives and friends during the birthday banquet, it will definitely be very face-saving."
"Old man, stop bragging, tell me, how much did you sell for?" the man asked again.
"Don't worry, don't worry, this golden carp, I'm going to sell it for ten taels of silver."
The old fisherman said to himself: "I sold it for ten taels of silver, just to get a wife for my grandson and add a big house."
"hiss!"
When the price was announced, everyone present gasped.
This is ten taels of silver, and it is also a relatively large wealth.
The background of "Green Snake" is in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Nowadays, there is no war with the north, and it can be regarded as an era of peace.
In this era, one tael of silver can buy four shi of grain.
And one stone is about 120 catties.
120 catties of grain, if you save some food.
Enough to feed a family of three for a month.
And four stones, that is 480 catties.
And the ten taels of silver that the old clothes said was enough to buy [-] catties of grain.
Taking it into modern times, and calculating it, although it is not comparable, in this ancient time, food was the most important.
"What? Twelve taels?"
"Why don't you go grab it!"
"It's really a lion with a big mouth. You want ten taels of silver for a fish?"
"Ten taels of silver can buy a luxurious mansion, isn't this fish inlaid with gold?"
"That's right, that's right, I've seen fish bigger than this, forty catties, but only over 500 cash, you're asking for dozens of times more."
"Heh, whoever buys it is a fool."
The crowd of onlookers on the side began to mock the old fisherman one after another.
Zhou He looked at the golden carp in the basin, puzzled.
Obviously, this golden carp is just an ordinary carp.
There is no evil spirit, no aura.
However, the result of his person-finding technique was this golden carp.
"Is this golden carp the River God here?" The corners of Zhou He's mouth twitched slightly.
"That old tortoise, how dare you lie to me? Aren't you afraid that I'll pick off his tortoise shell?"
"Wait..." Zhou He suddenly had an idea in his mind.
He had a guess.
This golden carp should be crossing a catastrophe.
According to Taoist books, there are three disasters, nine disasters and ten calamities.
Monsters, of course, are no different. They even suffered more disasters than humans.
Although Zhou He didn't know the rules of the Green Snake World, it should be pretty much the same.
Just like in "Journey to the West", when Sun Wukong was studying art, the Bodhi Patriarch wanted to teach him 36 changes in the sky and 72 changes in the earth, just to avoid disasters.
The three disasters are natural disasters, earth disasters and man-made disasters.
Natural disasters are wind, fire, thunder and lightning, etc. Of course, the most common one is thunder calamity.
And Earth Tribulation means that mana has disappeared, and being imprisoned by the power of heaven and earth, even if the cultivation level reaches the sky, it will return to its original body.
In "Legend of the White Snake", Bai Suzhen was transformed into a little white snake when she had no mana when she crossed the catastrophe.
That's why she was rescued by Xu Xian in her previous life, and this is how Bai Suzhen at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain came to be...
During the period of crossing the earth, it was extremely dangerous and abnormal, and it was difficult to escape the disasters encountered.
As for the man-made disaster, it is easy to understand, it was killed by the human race.
Then, this golden carp must be going through a catastrophe.
At this time, he has no mana. If he is bought by someone and put on the banquet, it will be a disaster.
The nine difficulties are the nine difficulties on the road of practice.
Oppressed by food and clothing, invited and blocked by elders, entangled by love, entangled in fame and fortune, disasters and disasters, restrained by blind teachers, false accusations against others, slack in will, wasted years, etc., there are nine kinds in total.
Ten kalpas are ten kinds of kalpas, such as heart demon kalpa, swordsman kalpa, life and death kalpa, love kalpa and so on.
Thinking of Love Tribulation, Zhou He thought of "Green Snake", the white snake died under the Thunder Tower, so why not die under Love Tribulation.
The White Snake met Xu Xian, maybe it was a love disaster arranged by the heavens!
To sum up the above, it shows that the catastrophe is extremely dangerous.
Therefore, when many monsters are going through the catastrophe, they will seek the protection of noble people with deep blessings to tide over the difficulties.
The golden carp in the pot is just an ordinary carp at the mercy of others.
However, he was still wise, so he was naturally very anxious, so he could only pray that some noble person would come to save him.
As for why Zhou He didn't find out, it was naturally because of the power of heaven and earth.
The power of heaven and earth imprisoned Jin Li's body and breath, so Zhou He naturally couldn't detect it.
He just felt that this was just a bigger and rarer golden carp.
"Will you buy it? If you don't buy it, then the old man will take it to the Tianfang Pavilion in the city."
"It's a place frequented by dignitaries and dignitaries, and it will definitely fetch a good price."
The old fisherman was not annoyed at these people's ridicule, but said with a smile.
"Ten taels of silver, I bought it." Zhou He walked out from the crowd.
No nonsense, just lost ten taels of silver.
The old fisherman took the silver and after confirming that it was real, he immediately looked overjoyed.
"Thank you, young master, then this golden carp is your property."
The old fisherman started to pack his things with a smile.
With ten taels of silver in hand, he couldn't wait to go home.
However, at this moment, a sharp voice came: "Wait a minute, I want this fish."
But he saw a fat man in a brocade robe pushing away the crowd with three ferocious servants.
"Old guy, I want this fish. It happens to be tomorrow, which is the [-]th birthday of my old man."
"The old man likes to eat fish the most. With my skills, if I cook a whole fish feast, it will definitely please the old man."
This obese man is the cook of Li's residence, and he brought a few servants out to purchase ingredients for tomorrow's banquet.
"Chef Li, this young master has already bought the golden carp." The old fisherman said inwardly, but he nodded and bowed.
This Li family, in Qiantang County, is simply lawless, a bully among bullies.
Fortunately, the money has already been obtained, otherwise, if you come back sooner, this golden carp may be in vain.
You can't get a penny, maybe you still feel that it is too little, let you get some fresh fish from the lower river.
