Chapter 385 Volume C Encounter, Disaster
"The Tongtian Koi live around the center of the lake, and you can't see their traces on the shore." Long Tianjiao put his hands on his hips and looked into the distance.
Uh, Long Tianjiao, that's the name that this Bi Jiao Yuanjun gave himself.
He asked Chen Huaisheng to come up with a few good names for him. Chen Huaisheng took great pains to recommend a few for him. In the end, he chose this name that couldn't be more vulgar, which made Chen Huaisheng feel extremely embarrassed.
But people think that this name is mighty and domineering, and it has a bit of the flavor of competing for the world and suppressing the heroes. Chen Huaisheng can only pinch his nose and praise it.
Who made this name come up with after the other party was not satisfied with several names, and he had no choice.
"Then Senior Long, if we want to capture this koi, what preparations should we make and how should we start?"
Originally, Teng Dingyuan and his team planned to find local cultivators at the lakeside, promise them huge profits, and work together to capture it, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
With this "Senior Long" here, it seems that everything can be omitted.
They all felt that this senior was a bit of a teacher, so they all understood what he meant, with a look of admiration on their faces, and every word was meant to flatter him, making "Senior Long" consciously become the leader of their group.
"First, we need to prepare the bait that they like the most. Koi like to eat sandworm pupae, which can be dug in the sand on the shore,..."
"Second, we need to prepare hunting hooks. This kind of hunting hook needs to be made of the curved beak of a black egret. Otherwise, once the koi is nailed, its blood will quickly coagulate and become worthless,..."
"You should have a clean bottle for fish blood, right? If you have it, it's fine. After you get it, immediately cut open the fish's belly and let the fish blood pour into the clean bottle,..."
Seeing the expressions of surprise and admiration on everyone's faces, Long Tianjiao became more and more complacent and felt very comfortable.
Being able to show off in front of this group of human monks, this taste is really unprecedented.
However, it did surprise Chen Huaisheng and others. If you are not an expert, you will definitely not know the secrets here. At least it proves that this guy is really knowledgeable.
"I didn't pay much attention to the precautions before. I just scattered the sandworm pupae and swallowed the koi when they came out. These koi didn't even think about running away. Tsk, the taste is really fresh, but it's just so-so after eating too much..."
Feeling that he had let something slip, Long Tianjiao scratched his head and quickly recovered, "You need fresh fish blood, so this is different, so you have to capture it first before you can start cutting open the abdomen to take blood..."
"Senior Long, I remember you once said that this koi has a symbiotic monster..." Chen Huaisheng couldn't help but remind him.
"Well, there is. The monster is called water monkey. In fact, it should be found in all lakes and swamps, but it is different in Tongtianbo. You should know that the center of Tongtianbo Lake leads directly to the river. The underground river is called Tongtian River. Countless people have drowned in the river for thousands of years. Many of them have returned to Tongtianbo from the underground river. Some water monkeys have been ghosts for thousands of years and have become Yinba..."
When talking about water monkeys, Bi Jiao Yuanjun's face became more serious. Obviously, he still has some taboos about this thing.
Yin objects become spirits, water and fire become Ba, and earth and wood become Xiao.
There are specific conditions for Yin objects to become spirits. Not just any Yin ghost or demon corpse can become a spirit.
"Why does this koi coexist with Yinba?" Chen Huaisheng asked puzzledly.
"Koi is favored by spiritual energy, and Yinba likes to coexist with it. It can't be completely considered symbiosis, but they are often in the same area."
Bi Jiao Yuanjun didn't say that he deliberately exaggerated at the time, and could only use such words to save face.
"Senior Long, is this Yinba condensed from a thousand-year-old ghost?" Chen Huaisheng couldn't help asking, what is the difference between this and the demon corpse?
"It's not just as simple as a thousand-year-old ghost. Ordinary water monkeys are simple. Aren't you human cultivators good at talismans and spells to ward off evil spirits and suppress evil spirits? You can destroy them at will, but this Yinba is not only a thousand-year-old corpse, but more importantly, it swallowed up the spiritual objects and monsters in the water during the process of condensing the ghost, and absorbed the spiritual power of the spiritual objects and monsters in the water to cultivate. It can no longer be completely regarded as a pure ghost and demon corpse. It is more accurate to say that it is a mixture of spirits and demon corpses."
Bi Jiao Yuanjun didn't care about this. No matter how powerful Yinba was, it was not a problem for him, but it was hard to say for the group of human cultivators in front of him.
The people who catch koi cannot be confined to one place, they need to disperse and form a larger encirclement.
Once the koi enters the encirclement, they can use magic to force it to the surface of the water, and then nail it with a beak hook to complete the capture and then bleed it.
Of course, the koi meat is also excellent spiritual fish meat. After bleeding, the fish meat can also be stored.
The next task is to find a suitable fishing boat first, and also need to hire local people who are familiar with the situation in the lake. Fortunately, there are still some casual cultivators and Taoists around Tongtianbo. As long as they are willing to pay a suitable price, they can also be hired.
As for this senior Long, everyone, including Chen Huaisheng, did not expect him to take the initiative to help everyone. It is rare for him to introduce the capture method to everyone and remind everyone of precautions.
From the heart, except Chen Huaisheng, everyone else would rather take some risks than be with this senior Long. In their minds, the danger of this senior Long is even greater than the Yin Ba in the lake.
As for Yinba, just as Bi Jiao Yuanjun said, most of the threats posed by water monkeys are very limited, and the number of Yinba is very small. Even Bi Jiao Yuanjun has never encountered one. Most of them are said by those casual cultivators or Daozhong who have been making a living in the lake for a long time.
Bi Jiao Yuanjun left. In his own words, he was going to do his own things, but he also said that he would come to them after finishing his business.
This made Chen Huaisheng, Zeng Guolin and Teng Dingyuan speechless. They didn’t know what this strange cultivator had in mind and why he targeted these people?
…
The mist slowly rose, and the sunlight made the entire water surface a little blurry.
Chen Huaisheng sat quietly on the boat, holding a few beak hooks in his hands, carefully observing the water surface.
A boatman who was responsible for rowing for him was carefully throwing down a local specialty rattan net to prevent the targeted koi from escaping.
It should be said that the effect of the spirit stone is still huge. Soon, several Taoists and monks were found in the village by the lake.
They are familiar with the situation in the lake and the effect of koi. They have provided services for others to hunt koi before.
Tang Jingtian, who is ten feet away, is already somewhat looming. There is also a boatman on his boat, who is setting the net.
In this way, the six people joined forces to form a pocket-shaped encirclement, and the opening of the encirclement is now horn-shaped, facing the center of the lake about a hundred feet away.
The water there is unpredictable, sometimes sucking in like a vortex, forming a huge vortex, and sometimes like a huge fountain emerging from the center of the earth, forming a boiling state.
A boatman took out a fish bladder, which was full of sandworm pupae.
He used a kind of horn tendon bow spring to eject the fish bladder, throwing it about fifty feet away, and then step by step, he threw the fish bladder down at a fixed distance, all the way to the opening of the rattan net encirclement, and finally into the encirclement.
This is the second day.
On the first day, they didn't get anything. More than ten pieces of fish bladders wrapped with sandworm pupae were wasted, but no koi appeared.
Today is the second day, but the sun is out and the water temperature is slightly higher. This is a good sign. Koi prefer sunny days.
Koi are very vigilant. They will escape at the slightest movement. Although the size of koi is only about three feet, they are extremely flexible and powerful.
There are sharp fin spines on their backs, which are extremely poisonous. Once they stab people, even if they are not certain to die, they will definitely lose a layer of skin.
Once the beak hook is nailed, it must be held tightly, otherwise once it slips out of hand, the work will fail.
Two hours have passed, and there is still no movement.
The smell of the fish bladder wrapped in sandworm pupae is very unique. Except for koi, no other fish or shrimp would be interested.
Just when everyone felt drowsy, a golden light flashed from the water in the distance, and then a golden scale light floated, as fast as thunder, and suddenly broke into the rattan net encirclement that had been set up.
"Here they come, everyone be careful!"
Teng Dingyuan's voice was the first to sound: "Husheng, quickly seal the net and block the opening, don't let them run away."
"What good luck, there are at least thirty koi in this wave, I'm rich!" A Taoist roared excitedly, "Tie the opening, don't think of running away!"
"Everyone, pay attention, once the koi find that they can't get out, they will go all out, they may even hit the fishing boat, everyone must stabilize the fishing boat,..."
"Oh no, what is that?!" Before everyone could get happy, they heard a local monk screaming like a ghost "It's over, it's over, how could there be a golden-bearded tuna? Pull the net quickly!"
"Golden-bearded tuna?!" Another local cultivator also screamed, "It's not a golden-bearded tuna, ah, there is a golden-bearded tuna, and there is a group of what behind it? What is that?"
"Black ghost blood locust! Damn, why are we so unlucky?" A Taoist almost cried out, "How could we encounter this ghost thing? Pull the net quickly, otherwise we will all die here!"
Before everyone came to their senses, a giant loach over five feet long jumped out of the water and slammed into the boat where Tang Jingtian was.
Tang Jingtian reacted very quickly, the long sword in the bag whistled up, the sword waves surged, and turned into a fan-shaped light curtain, immediately rolling up the giant loach with finger-like whiskers on its mouth, which was actually a golden-bearded tuna.
