One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 331 Chapter 332: Fishing in the Delusion

Zhao Fuyun stood by the river. The night wind blew the water, and the starlight in the waves rippled along with the water.

The wind blew on his body, and his robe could protect him from water, wind and thunder.

Under normal circumstances, the robe on his body would not be blown away by the wind, nor would it sink into the water. In the darkness, it would emit an orange light that could be seen from afar.

But after he had refined it, when he wore it, it would be blown by the wind, because his will moved with the wind.

Now, whether he is sitting, lying down, or walking, he is practicing. He is in harmony with heaven and earth. Deep in his soul, there is no thought moving, and it is immersed in the golden elixir in his dantian. Yet, all kinds of thoughts arise in his mind, so when the wind blows his robe fluttering, it is the wind that is moving, his clothes that are moving, and also his thoughts that are moving.

There is a pier on this vast river bay, and on the pier there is a stone tablet with the words "Tongyou Bay" written on it.

The two words "Tongyou" made Zhao Fuyun think of the meaning of connecting to the underworld.

However, this word "you" has another meaning. The "you" in it may refer to some secret and obscure place.

Zhao Fuyun looked at the water. There was a large ship in the middle of the water with red lanterns hanging on it. The lanterns were reflected in the water, and there seemed to be a ship in the water as well. To say that it was a reflection was too clear.

However, around the building ship, there were rows of small black-roofed boats, quietly cruising on the river. The only bustling thing was the building ship.

Maids on the ship served tea and water on the seats.

People who practice cultivation have the means to attract people to come and go, but sometimes they like girls to bring things to them personally and watch them squat beside them to pour tea and peel fruit for them.

Zhao Fuyun watched this scene. The boat was very lively, but the black-sailed boats outside were strangely quiet.

There were people fishing on those black-sailed boats.

Under the water, the lights and starlight formed a mysterious scene, and no one knew what they were fishing for.

Zhao Fuyun discovered that although he had walked a long way when he traveled in the Great Zhou during his foundation-building period, he had actually only drawn a winding line on the land, and there were still many places he had not visited.

There are still many mysterious places in this land that we don’t know about.

At this moment, he heard footsteps hurriedly coming from behind him.

"Qitong, hurry up, it's all your fault. It's so late and we can't get a good seat."

Zhao Fuyun turned his head and saw a young couple. They looked lively and energetic, but they were still in the Xuanguan stage. In the dark night, they exuded a faint glow.

"There are no good seats today, but we can come back tomorrow." The young man named Qitong said slowly.

"Today a passenger has chartered a boat to fish for a big nest. All of us can follow along and eat soup. We will definitely be able to catch something that we can't normally catch." The woman hurriedly took out a sailboat. The sailboat was like a toy in her hand. She put the small sailboat in the water.

Then they poured water on the sailboat, and the boat grew rapidly in the water, becoming a sailboat that could carry people on a lake cruise.

"Hurry, come up quickly." said the woman.

At this time, a boat suddenly came out from the darkness, and a bamboo pole was blocked in front of them, saying: "You have missed the time. You are here at this time."

The woman immediately begged, "Uncle Shui, we can't even afford to eat at home. We're waiting to catch something to sell. Uncle Shui, please let us in."

The one in the darkness was silent for a moment, then said, "Forget it. I'm afraid of you. Your father had his accident on the river. You should be careful too."

"Thank you, Mr. Shui. When my father was alive, he often said that Mr. Shui was a kind-hearted person." The woman said happily, rowing the black sail towards the center of the river.

"You are such a sweet-talker girl. You better be careful and don't rush into the middle. Everyone has already taken their positions. Just stay on the periphery." Shui Ye said.

"I understand, Mr. Shui. We won't barge in recklessly." The woman said as she walked towards the middle of the river.

They didn't notice that there was one more person on the boat.

Zhao Fuyun stood silently on the black sailboat. In the world they could not see, he looked like a big orange bird standing there.

He rode the black-sailed boat quietly into the water, into the place where stars and lanterns were intertwined.

They did not squeeze in but found a place on the periphery and stopped. Then they stood on a wooden pole by the side of the boat. There were nails on the pole and the woman lit a red lantern.

The lantern was red, hanging on a wooden pole, and the light was reflected in the water. A ball of red light was reflected in the dark water. As the light of the lantern was reflected in the water, the boat was also reflected. And as the boat was reflected, the entire black-sailed boat slowly stopped moving.

He watched as the two siblings took out a thick rope with something tied to it, but the thing was not a fish hook, nor was there any bait.

But a jar.

The jar was dark, and Zhao Fuyun could sense a special aura from it, as if it had been used to house ghosts. As for whether there was anything else in the jar, Zhao Fuyun did not see it.

The mouth of the black jar was sealed with black gauze, and there was a bamboo cage outside with a rope tied to the bamboo cage.

Then he saw the woman put the jar into the water, right where the lantern was reflected.

After a while of chaos, the reflection gradually became clear again, and it was still the light of a lantern reflected in the water. A man and a woman were sitting there, quietly and motionlessly.

Zhao Fuyun could tell that they were a brother and sister.

Not long after, one of the brothers said, "Sister, did you put the jar in the right place?"

"It's put in the right place, don't talk nonsense and don't make any noise." The woman sat on the edge of the boat's side with her feet hugged. After a while, she couldn't help but pull the rope, which seemed to move slightly. Although she answered quickly, she was actually a little worried that she didn't put it in the right place.

Zhao Fuyun thought that perhaps the jar needed to be placed in the shadow of the lamp.

But the shadow of the lamp is just a reflection, how can it be put in?
"What are you fishing?" Zhao Fuyun suddenly asked.

The brother and sister suddenly heard a sound and turned back in horror. Then they saw a person standing on their black tent.

"You, how did you get on the boat?" asked sister Ye Ru in surprise.

"Of course I jumped up!" Zhao Fuyun said.

"How could Grandpa Shui not find you? You are a foreigner. You violated the principle of night fishing in Tongyou Bay. We are in trouble. We are doomed..."

The woman named Ye Ruo was talking when she suddenly shouted loudly: "Grandpa Shui..."

She shouted very loudly. She thought her voice was enough to alarm the nearby boats and call Water Grandpa. However, she found that the lights on the nearby black-sailed boats were very stable and the people on the boats did not react at all, as if they did not hear her. The Water Grandpa she mentioned did not appear either.

Grandpa Shui is a human, but also not a human. He is the offspring of a water demon who can swim freely in Tongyou Bay and a human. He will appear when called. He has saved many people, and also killed many people who trespassed into Tongyou Bay.

Some people say that his ability in Tongyou Bay is no less than that of a Jindan cultivator.

She found that her shouting was useless, and her voice seemed to be trapped on this boat.

She looked nervously at the man in front of her who was in an orange robe. He had long hair tied behind his head like a black tail. He had a feminine face, but it didn't look like a woman's. Especially his eyes, which were clear and cold, as if all the emotions in his heart had been cut off. He had no sadness or joy, just a cold feeling.

When her eyes fell down, she found that he was standing there barefoot, and there was an eerie aura about him.

She suddenly thought, this person couldn't be a monster.

"You don't have to shout. Your voices can't be heard. No one will know I'm here, so there won't be any disaster." Zhao Fuyun comforted him, but even his comforting voice was like the night wind, blowing quietly across the windowsill without a speck of dust.

"If you want to know, we can certainly tell you. However, we here always believe in equal exchange. Senior, look..."

Ye Ruo's heart was beating wildly, and the sound of her heartbeat was as clear as the beating of a drum in Zhao Fuyun's ears. She wanted to build her foundation, and suddenly a mysterious man came on her boat, and she boldly proposed a deal.

One of the reasons is that both she and her brother have reached the edge of foundation building, and they must quickly obtain the True Evil Foundation Building. Any delay will be detrimental to their practice.

"Okay, I can exchange with you." Zhao Fuyun didn't feel offended at all.

He walked back on the earth with his feet, just to fill his heart with humanity again.

In the process of practicing and ascending to immortality step by step, in addition to the improvement of magic power, there are also things that need to be abandoned one after another, such as human desires, because one has seen too much and because one has a long lifespan and looks at the lives of ordinary people, during a retreat, the other person may have grown from a teenager to middle-aged, and from middle-aged to old age.

Therefore, many people will gradually distance themselves from the crowd, live in the mountains for a long time, make friends with the same monks in the mountains and rivers.

The reason why Zhao Fuyun walked back was that he felt that after getting rid of the sadness and pain of his childhood, his heart suddenly felt empty.

So he wanted to fill it with something.

"Senior, we want to fish out a jar of True Evil." The woman Ye Ruo said, and the younger brother named Qi Tong beside her blinked his eyes and kept looking at Zhao Fuyun's robe. He seemed to be very interested in the vaguely visible cloud pattern restrictions on it, and even seemed to be learning it in his mind.

"Fishing for a jar of real evil? Can it be caught?" Zhao Fuyun asked doubtfully.

"Tongyou Bay is connected to the underworld. As long as we are sincere, we can catch what we want." Ye Ru said seriously.

Zhao Fuyun was surprised, but also found it unbelievable. He felt that the world was so big that there was nothing strange.

Just then, a voice came from his big boat: "If anyone can catch a golden scale with claws tonight, come to me and exchange it for anything you want."

Zhao Fuyun's gaze couldn't help but fall on the boat. He saw that several people had appeared on the deck of the ship at some point. Each of them was wearing a glowing robe, but Zhao Fuyun's gaze fell on one of them.

Although Zhao Fuyun had only seen him once, he still recognized him at a glance. The other party was Wu Weishan, the former head of Wuliangyuan in Tiandu Mountain.

Why is he here?

Why is it called fishing for golden scales with claws?
What is golden scales?
He thought of a legendary name.
