The Legend of the Condor Heroes: I became one of the Five Great Masters by drawing cards

Chapter 113 Golden Doll

Gu Ping'an gently stroked the red rope on his wrist and watched Mu Nianci go away until the man and the horse turned the corner and he could no longer see their figures.

"Flowers fall and water flows, a kind of longing, two kinds of idle worries. There is no way to eliminate this feeling, it just leaves my brow, but it stays in my heart."

He heard the sound of music and looked in the direction of the sound. It was the singing in the street music hall.

Li Qingzhao's "A Cut Plum"?

It suits the occasion.

The word "love" is really difficult to understand.

Gu Ping'an sighed lightly, shook his head and smiled, took out the map drawn by Hong Qigong that day, took a look at it, led his horse, and headed straight to the southwest.

This place is worthy of the name "Taoyuan", with beautiful mountains and rivers, just like the Peach Blossom Spring described by Tao Yuanming, with fresh grass and colorful fallen petals.

The emperor really has good taste, choosing such a paradise on earth to live in seclusion.

Following the map, as we went up the Yuan River, the clouds and fog dissipated and the sky gradually cleared.

After walking twenty or thirty miles out of the city, the road ahead became narrower and could not be passed on horseback, so we had to find a family to stay with nearby.

Before Gu Ping'an got closer, he saw a conspicuous red horse tied in the stable. It was Guo Jing's Ferghana horse.

Gu Ping'an tied up his horse and chatted with the owner of the house. Only then did he know that Hong Qigong and his companions had just arrived yesterday.

After saying goodbye to the owner of the house, he continued along the narrow path. The road became narrower and narrower, and the mountain was really steep. Even though Gu Ping'an had excellent martial arts skills, it still took him half an hour to reach the destination.

If Guo Jing was carrying Hong Qigong on his back, it would take at least an hour.

The sound of water gradually grew louder ahead. After walking a few dozen steps and reaching the top of the ridge, the view suddenly opened up.

Between the two opposite peaks, a waterfall cascades down like the Milky Way. The valley is filled with mist, and the sunlight shines down, reflecting a seven-color brilliance.

There is a willow tree under the waterfall and a thatched hut built next to it.

A man was fishing under a willow tree. He was dressed similarly to the fisherman in the misty waters, and he was the fisherman among the fishermen, woodcutters, farmers and scholars.

Gu Ping'an walked down the hill and came to the side of the fisherman.

There were no fish in the water. The fisherman turned his head to look at him, revealing a dark face as dark as a pot bottom, with a beard full of hair as hard as iron.

"Young man, are you here to look for Gang Leader Hong?"

He had just met Hong Qigong and others yesterday and had already received the news. Someone else would come looking for him later, so he asked this question.

"Indeed, my name is Gu Ping'an, nice to meet you, Senior Dian Cang Yuyin."

Dian Cang Yuyin sighed, put away his fishing rod and stood up: "Let's go, I'll take you up."

The mountain where Emperor Duan lived was as smooth as a mirror, and there was no way to climb up. He had to use an iron boat and iron oars to go upstream to send people up.

However, with Gu Ping'an's current cultivation level and lightness skills, even walking on water and walking backwards would not be difficult.

Seeing Dian Cang Yuyin's worried look, he asked curiously, "Senior, you look so worried, but what difficulties have you encountered?"

Dian Cang Yuyin also knew that he was Hong Qigong's descendant, so he did not hide it and told the truth. It turned out that it was still because of the pair of golden dolls.

This pair of golden salamanders were caught by an Indian monk to deal with poisonous insects and entrusted to him to raise for a few days, but he accidentally let them run away.

In the original novel, Guo Jing helped him catch fish, but yesterday Hong Qigong himself was there, so there was no conflict between the two sides and there was no fishing.

He worked hard for two days fishing but couldn't catch any fish. How could he not be worried?

"I see. Senior, don't worry. I'll catch it for you."

Seeing that he was so young, Dian Cang Yuyin thought it was just a joke and waved his hand.

"Forget it, forget it. I'll send you up first, and then I'll come back and fish slowly."

Gu Ping'an ignored him, glanced down, picked up the plate of bait he had prepared, and threw it into the waterfall with a wave of his hand.

"Hey! You..." Dian Cang Yuyin was carrying an iron boat on his shoulders and was unable to stop him. When he saw that the plate was empty, he suddenly became angry.

"You little kid, why are you like this?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Gu Ping'an make a gesture to keep quiet and pointed to the water.

The water flows rapidly under the waterfall, and ordinary fish and insects of all sizes cannot survive. The pair of golden babies hid here and have not eaten for two or three days.

Although Dian Cang Yuyin fishes every day, the fish are smart and will never take the bait again after being caught once.

Now, a large plate of earthworms and red worms fell down. In their eyes, it was like pie in the sky. They had no time to hide and came out to hunt.

There was a golden light flashing in the water, and two golden strange fish, about a foot long, were twisting and turning, feasting on the food.

"We are so far away, what's the point of you luring them out?"

Dian Cang Yuyin was complaining to himself when he saw Gu Ping'an clench his hands and grab in the air.

He had never seen such a magical skill as the Dragon-Catching Skill, which could take objects from a distance, so he thought it was just a child's prank and frowned even more tightly.

But suddenly, waves appeared in the water, and with a flash of golden light, the two golden dolls were caught out in the water.

It was not until Gu Ping'an caught the two fish with the fishing net on the ground and heard bursts of baby-like crying sounds that he came to his senses.

"Young man, you."

"Senior, you'd better take these two little guys away first and don't let them escape again."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Dian Cang Yuyin woke up as if from a dream. He hurriedly picked up the pair of golden dolls and ran to the thatched cottage to place them.

Reputation level remains unchanged: Far-reaching reputation (29261/50000) => Far-reaching reputation (29461/50000)

Although these four people, the fisherman, woodcutter, farmer and scholar, are descendants of the Southern Emperor, they live in seclusion here after all, and the rewards and fame they receive are pitifully small.

But after seeing this, Gu Ping'an was greatly surprised.

After the last Beggars' Sect Conference, he clearly remembered that his reputation value was over 28,000. How come it had quietly increased by nearly 1,000 in just a few days?

Could it be that the Beggars' Gang Conference has such a strong impact?
He guessed correctly. At the meeting that day, he fought against Qiu Qianren head-on and was not at a disadvantage. He also exposed the enemy's conspiracy and received praise from Hong Qigong after leaving.

The reputation of this "Young Master Ping'an" has spread among the Beggars' Sect.

Word of mouth spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. A mere thousand reputation points is nothing. If you wait a few days, it will at least increase several times.

After Dian Cang Yuyin had settled the golden baby, he quickly picked up the iron boat and oars, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

Gu Ping'an was carried upstream by him. Soon they reached the top of the mountain, passed through a fragrant cave, and saw a spectacular fountain.

The two water columns of the fountain were more than two meters high, with water dragons dancing and spewing clouds and mist.

"Wonderful!"

Gu Ping'an had already known about this wonder from books, and seeing it with his own eyes was a completely different experience.

The water column exhausted its strength and scattered, turning into water mist all over the sky. Under the sunlight, it was more gorgeous than the rainbow seen at the waterfall at the foot of the mountain.

He was so absorbed in watching that his expression suddenly darkened and he said softly, "What a pity."

It’s a pity that I couldn’t see such a wonderful sight with Nianci.

Dian Cang Yuyin had no idea what he was thinking. He rowed the iron boat to the shore and led him out.

A middle-aged scholar dressed as a scholar walked slowly towards me, his tone was not friendly.

"This is the Young Master Gu that Gang Leader Hong mentioned, right?"
