Mirroring the changes

"Come fish!"

Li Chen stood proudly on the bow of the boat and shouted secretly.

I saw that the water flow connected into a line and was scattered all over the body.

It vaguely corresponds to the Big Dipper in the sky.

Under each current, there is a small whirlpool, in which swimming fish are dormant.

"That's the alligator!"

"Fire!"

"Bi Xi!"

…

One by one, names were shouted out by the monks around them.

Each one is rare in the world.

In terms of number, it even exceeded Taigong Diaosou's five spiritual fish.

But Li Chen closed his eyes tightly, and the dull hair on his head stood up, searching like a radar.

Li Chen had never fished before.

In fact, we are looking for the characteristics of red turtle.

The Chi brothers used a fishing net to catch it, and Li Chen could see clearly that it hit the red croaker, but it missed the target.

Later, Lianshan Fisherman and Kongsang Diaosou also saw only the shadow of the fish but not its true form.

Until just now, when Li Sao caught her first fish, she said, 'It looked big, but it became smaller when I caught it.'

This is because of the line of sight, the fish in the water and on the shore look different.

The red turtle can also suddenly become bigger and smaller suddenly.

Then Li Chen suddenly had a guess.

Getting bigger and smaller may not be Chiqu's magical power.

Instead, it causes light refraction through some means, thereby affecting human vision.

The more I think about it, the more possible it becomes.

So Li Chen has been observing with the Jieyu Mirror.

Sure enough, he discovered the clue.

Every time this red turtle appears, waves will appear all over his body.

It seems that he deliberately confuses everyone's attention and is a little bit cover-up.

But Li Chen learned his lesson and closed his eyes directly, relying entirely on listening to the fluctuations of Mao Mao to find out.

Sure enough, the other party's figure was quickly discovered.

Li Chen curled his mouth and suddenly stretched out his right hand.

All the water lines in the sky fell back, and all the fish in the water dispersed.

"Oh! Why did you let it go!"

"This prodigal monk, even if he only has one, he is priceless!"

"Isn't there another one?"

"Why does it look like it's empty down there?"

Li Chen turned a deaf ear and clenched the last water line tightly in his hand, but there was indeed nothing down there.

Even Li Sao next to her was anxious: "Alas, what's going on, senior brother?"

"Why did you give up?"

"It's over, it's over, there's only one left, but it's still empty."

Li Sao was so angry that she jumped on her feet, but Grandpa Diaosou beside her smiled happily: "Little monk, you accept, accept, accept~"

Li Chen's expression remained normal and he smiled and said, "Senior, don't be anxious, it's not over yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining water line fell into the palm of his hand.

At the other end, a whirlpool forms in the river water.

"rise!"

The whirlpool in the water condensed into a ball, and finally landed in Li Chen's hand along the waterline, still spinning slowly.

"Senior brother, what's the use of making a big water ball?"

"Seeing that a bunch of treasures are about to go into someone else's pocket."

Li Sao was furious, but Li Ge reached out and pulled him.

Li Chen smiled and said nothing, just glanced at everyone.

"This is Red Rooster."

"What?"

The Chi brothers were the first to burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, I'm afraid this monk is no longer a demon."

“Hold a ball of water and insist it’s a red turtle?!”

Mo Yiren was curious, Li Chen didn't seem like a sensationalist.

Is there any mystery behind this water polo?

When he looked closer, he could only feel that the ball of water was slowly rotating, and there was nothing else.

"Little monk, do you think this is a red turtle?"

Li Chen nodded.

At this time, Taigong Diaosou sighed slightly: "Hey, little monk, monks should admit defeat."

"If you can't afford to lose, I will give you the green gold and double qin.

But it’s not very clever of you to refer to a deer as a horse and make something out of nothing. "

"Create something out of nothing?"

Li Chen laughed and said, "Senior, please wait and see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chen's right hand turned into a claw, and there was a 'bang' sound.

A water ball exploded from the center of Li Chen's palm.

After the water splashed, a small red fish was lying in his hand, flopping up and down.

"Red Rooster!"

There were exclamations on the deck.

The little red fish in Lichen's hand was no bigger than a palm, and it looked exactly like the legendary red cockroach.

In fact, Li Chen had been observing Chi Qiu from the very beginning.

Every time it appears, its body is not of normal size.

Sometimes it is more than three feet long, dyeing the surrounding area into red waves.

Sometimes it is only a few feet long, and a small splash pops up on the water and then disappears.

So it either has great or small magical powers.

Or there is a secret method to confuse the vision.

And finally Li Chen discovered the key.

bubble!

The red turtle can spit out bubbles to deflect the surrounding light, thus forming a virtual image that enlarges or shrinks!

Just now, Taigong Diaosou used the word "Whoever wishes to take the bait".

In fact, the red turtle was already hanging in the air, but it wrapped itself in bubbles.

So when the light hits the bubble, it will be refracted to other places, thus achieving the effect of invisibility!

Therefore, Taigong Diaosou did not see its true form, so it escaped disaster.

At this time, Li Chen directly pinched the bubble and the light returned again.

There is no place for the red turtle to escape.

"It's really a red turtle!"

Taigong Diaosou was stunned.

He never thought that the red carp would hide so well.

And the young monk in front of him could catch it.

It was fate.

Everything was God's will.

Thinking of this, Taigong Diaosou sighed: "The young monk has a great opportunity."

"I admit defeat."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

But Li Chen suddenly called him: "Senior, wait a minute."

"I was able to catch the red carp today, and half of the credit belongs to you."

"If it weren't for your 'willing to take the bait', I would never have discovered the mystery."

Taigong Diaosou was grateful.

How could he not see that Li Chen was saving his face, and he was very grateful in his heart.

Li Chen summoned a water ball to cover the red carp, and turned around to pick out 'Qingjin Shuangqin' and "Six Strategies Fragments" from the pile of pledges and handed them to Taigong Diaosou.

"Senior, please take these."

"This is the reward for catching the red carp this time."

The old man Taigong was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the little monk not only didn't take credit for himself, but also knew how to return the favor.

"Hahaha, little monk, it's really interesting."

The old man Taigong stroked his beard, laughed, and took the piece of 'green gold double patina' jade and put it in his arms.

But he didn't take the "Six Strategies Fragments".

"'Green gold double patina' I just want to do you a favor, so I'll be disrespectful to refuse it."

After saying that, he took out a token from his arms and put it on the "Six Strategies Fragments".

"This is the 'Contentious Order' of my Jixia Academy.

If you have a chance to come to Jixia Academy, I'll invite you to taste my Jixia's 'Student Wine'."

Li Chen was stunned when he heard this.

I didn't expect that the fisherman in front of him, who looked unremarkable, was from the Jixia Academy, where hundreds of schools of thought contended.

He then put his hands together and bowed: "Amitabha."

"Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely go there when the time comes."

"Okay!"

With a long whistle, Taigong Diaosou had already disappeared into the clouds.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
