Fishing in the Cold Pond

Chapter 676: Fishing in the Cold Pond

"The Emperor has asked Sun to guard Taihuangtian. It seems I need to go to the Mu Ri tribe in person!"

Qin Mu left the palace, summoned Long Qilin and headed straight for Daxu. Six days later, he came to the Sun Well and met Yan Jingjing.

After not seeing each other for a few years, the girl had grown up and became very pretty. When she saw Qin Mu coming, she immediately rushed out and said with a smile: "Brother who herds cattle, look at my legs, they are all healed!"

Qin Mu's eyes fell on her. The girl was wearing loose clothes, a flower-haired dress, a light blue outer garment, and a bodice embroidered with a three-legged crow.

Her outer garment was very long, almost reaching the ground, and her legs could not be seen.

Judging from the workmanship, it should have been made by Yu Zhaoqing for her. The Mu Ri tribe was indebted to Yu Zhaoqing and the Tian Yu tribe, and after the Tian Yu tribe settled in Yankang, the two families often visited each other.

Yan Jingjing leaned sideways and lifted up one side of her skirt, revealing one leg. The girl's legs were very slender, but she was not wearing any trousers underneath, and her skin was as white as snow, which was very eye-catching.

However, Qin Mu just had some strange thoughts, but he suppressed them immediately. He had examined Yan Jingjing's legs and touched them more than once, so he still had some composure.

"Show me your other leg so I can check if both legs are of the same length," Qin Mu said.

Yan Jingjing held one side of her skirt with one hand, leaned sideways, and lifted the other side of her skirt with the other hand and held it in her arms.

Qin Mu squatted down to check and saw that the girl's legs were tightly together, with almost no gap. He smiled and said, "It's all healed."

Chief Mu Ri came over and coughed repeatedly: "Ahem, Sun Guard, put down your skirt in front of outsiders."

Yan Jingjing quickly put down her skirt, her face slightly red. Qin Mu stood up hurriedly, and only then noticed that there was the Woodcutter Saint behind Chief Mu Ri. It was only because Chief Mu Ri was very big and strong, much taller than an ordinary person, that he did not see him.

The woodcutter sage looked at him with a smile, but Qin Mu remained calm and asked, "Why are you here, teacher?"

“I designed the solar boat.”

The woodcutter sage smiled and said, “I came here this time to retrieve the solar boat blueprints left here and give them to Yankang, so that Yankang’s heavenly craftsmen can build a few solar boats and moon boats.”

Qin Mu smiled and said, "I originally planned to dismantle the Mu Ri tribe's sun boats this time, draw detailed drawings, and rebuild a few sun boats. Fortunately, the teacher came quickly, otherwise if I had arrived first, the sun boats would have been dismantled by me."

The red face of the Mu Ri tribe leader turned black in an instant, as if the sun had gone out. He thought to himself, "Dismantling the ship? Last time you came, you dismantled our sun! Fortunately, you salvaged another one, and now you want to dismantle our ship again..."

The woodcutter sage walked towards the Sun Well and said, "The Sun Boat is not that troublesome, but with Yankang's current foundation, it is not possible to design such a huge thing. This is due to the foundation. I designed the Sun Boat and the Moon Boat, but the highest realm of heavenly creation in the Kaihuang era was not achieved by me, but by someone else!"

Qin Mu's heart was slightly moved, and he asked, "Could this person be a Buddha?"

The woodcutter sage came to the Sun Well, looked down and said, "When I was teaching him, he was not yet a monk. Later, trapped by love, he became a monk and became the disciple of Lord Brahma. He designed the Worry-Free Town... There are still many suns in the well, so we can build a few more sun boats."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "I have seen Indra, the King of Heaven Buddha. He is being hunted by the Southern Sky Scarlet Emperor Qi Xiayu."

The Woodcutter Saint was surprised and said, "Being hunted? He deserves it. However, if he hides in the Buddhist world, the Red Emperor will not attack him. Why is he being hunted this time?"

"He's in trouble."

Qin Mu acted as if this matter had nothing to do with me, and said: "He caused a great disturbance in the Buddhist world, almost slaughtered all the spies planted by the Heavenly Court in the Buddhist world, and created a small ghost city in the highest heaven of the Buddhist world. The Great Brahma King Buddha removed him from the Buddhist world and expelled him from the Buddhist world. So the Red Emperor immediately seized the opportunity and chased him down."

"I see. He is young and handsome, a famous handsome man in the Kaihuang era. No wonder the Red Emperor fell in love with him. It's all because of beauty."

The Woodcutter Saint stood up, called the Black Tiger God, handed him a thick stack of blueprints, and said, "Send them to the capital of Yankang and give them to the emperor."

The Black Tiger God took the order and roared away.

The Woodcutter Sage glanced at Qin Mu and said, "Beauty is a disaster. That's true. He is so beautiful that many women like him. You should be careful too."

Qin Mu was secretly delighted: "So, I am also very beautiful..."

"You are so-so in appearance, not ugly at all, but you are affectionate."

The woodcutter poured a basin of cold water on him and said, "With the example of Indra and the Medicine Master in your village, you should be careful. Girl, let's go find someone who can fish for the sun."

Yan Jingjing responded and followed him, and Qin Mu also followed.

The Woodcutter Sage led them out of the Sun Well. The sun was at its zenith outside, but it was blocked by the Luofu Sky, so the sky was a little dark.

"The lay name of Emperor Shitian was Li Youran. Later, he became a lay disciple of Buddhism because of his love and hatred with the Red Emperor, and showed his wisdom. The Great Brahma King Buddha gave him the name Emperor Shitian. When the Kaihuang era fell, he originally planned to build a big ship and take the people of the Tiangong Divine Clan to Wuyou Township for refuge. The Red Emperor chased him, and he was worried that the Red Emperor would hurt his people, so he chose to lead the Red Emperor away alone. However..."

After a while, the woodcutter sighed and said, "When he came back, he found that the boat was destroyed and everyone was dead. He thought it was the work of the Red Emperor and lost all hope. The Lord Brahma came to take him away, so he left with the Lord Brahma. When the Red Emperor heard that he had gone to the Buddhist world to become a Buddha, he said that if he left the Buddhist world, he would kill him. This boat is called the Other Shore Ark and it is in the Great Ruins."

Qin Mu and Yan Jingjing listened intently. Yan Jingjing suddenly asked, "Then was it the Red Emperor who massacred his people?"

"have no idea."

The woodcutter shook his head and said, "In this chaotic time, who would know?"

Qin Mu said, "I've been to the Ark of the Other Shore. I thought it was Worry-Free Township. But when I got there, I found out it wasn't. The Ark of the Other Shore was sealed by someone, trapping the remnants of the Tiangong Protoss inside. It took the Tiangong Protoss nearly 20,000 years to break the seal, and only a child of a few years old walked out alive."

The Woodcutter Saint took over his words and said, "This is what Li Youran did wrong. He followed Mahavairocana without checking carefully. Later, the child who left the Ark of the Other Shore grew up, struggled and was deceived countless times, and revealed many secrets. He was very sad, so he cut off his tongue to prevent himself from talking too much."

Qin Mu was silent.

The woodcutter sage continued, "He was the last Heavenly Worker. Although he cut off his tongue, he was still deceived, so he hid in Daxu and became a blacksmith."

Qin Mu was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Now that he has practiced the Wulou Creation Mysterious Sutra, his tongue has grown back."

The woodcutter sage led them over the mountains and across the hills at a very fast speed and said, "I hope he can refrain from talking, otherwise I will cut off my tongue sooner or later."

Qin Mu said: "He doesn't talk much now, but he curses very quickly with sign language, much faster than speaking."

Yan Jingjing smiled and said, "I know who you are talking about. It's the blacksmith grandfather. He is really fast at gesticulating with his two hands, but he still needs a blacksmith grandfather to translate what he says."

Qin Mu said: "When he gestured, he mostly cursed."

They came to a sparsely populated canyon, surrounded by lush trees. In the canyon there was a bottomless pool. Qin Mu and Yan Jingjing saw that there was a stone statue in the deep pool. The statue was an old man wearing a bamboo hat, sitting by the pool, holding a fishing rod with a fishing line hanging into the pool.

The old man supported his chin with his other hand and there was a fish basket at his feet.

The old man had been completely petrified. Strangely, his fishing rod and fishing line had also been petrified, and even the fish basket had turned into stone.

Qin Mu looked into the fish basket and saw something even more strange. There were actually two stone fish in the fish basket!

"Even the fish turned to stone! Could it be that these two fish are gods? If they were gods, how could they take the bait?"

He was quite puzzled.

The woodcutter sage came to the stone statue of the old man fishing, took out a stick of incense, lit it and inserted it next to the stone statue of the old man fishing, and said, "Brother, it's time to wake up."

The smoke from the incense stick curled up like a spirit snake, drilling into the nostrils of the stone statue.

After a while, the nostrils of the stone statue gradually turned from stone into flesh and blood, and then began to spread around the nostrils. Soon, the stone on the body of the stone statue of the fisherman gradually faded away, and the flesh and blood, skin and even clothes became vivid.

The fishing rod in his hand also shed its stone texture little by little, and the stone extended from the fishing rod to the fishing line, and the fishing line also stretched out!

Then, the fish basket placed in the pond at his feet also shed its stone material. With two fluttering sounds, the two fish in the basket suddenly came to life, looking bright red, and rolled over twice in the basket.

Qin Mu and Yan Jingjing were watching intently, but they saw the fisherman stretch his waist, move the small stool under his buttocks, and said, "I slept well. Woodcutter, what do you want to wake me up for?"

The woodcutter sage smiled and said, "Fishing for the sun, fishing for the moon."

The fisherman took off his bamboo hat, blew away the dust on it, and put it back on his head. He said, "The sun in the Sunwell? The moon in the Moonwell? With your skills, it shouldn't be difficult to fish them up. Why did you wake me up?"

"I have other things to do and cannot be distracted, so I had to wake up my brother."

The woodcutter sage sighed, "Twenty thousand years have passed, and a new era has arrived. Brother should not sleep any longer."

The fisherman stood up, picked up the fish basket and put it on his back, reeled in the fishing line, picked up the fishing rod, turned around and met Qin Mu, Yan Jingjing and others.

He had a big head and a short neck, and the hat on his head just stuck to his hair. His face looked much older than the woodcutter, with horizontal wrinkles all over it, but his eyes were big.

Qin Mu and Yan Jingjing greeted each other, and the fisherman said, "Who are these two children..."

"The boy is from the Qin family of Wuyou Township, and the girl is the current Sun Guardian."

The woodcutter said, "Mu'er, this is the Fisherman Heavenly Master, one of the four Heavenly Masters of Kaihuang Heaven."

The fisherman waved his hand and smiled, "The Kaihuang era has ended for 20,000 years. What Heavenly Master is there? I am a woodcutter, but I am not as shameless as you, and I still hang the title of Heavenly Master on myself. The Qin family son from Wuyou Township came to Daxu. Could it be that Kaihuang is planning a counterattack?"

The woodcutter looked gloomy.

The fisherman saw this and shook his head, saying, "Wuyou Township has become a comfortable nest. Kaihuang must have grown old and won't leave this comfortable nest. Let's go and fish for the sun!"

The woodcutter said to Qin Mu, "Mu'er, you go with him. I have other things to do." After that, he turned and left, soon disappearing without a trace.

The fisherman put away the stool and walked out of the canyon, saying, "You two little guys, follow me."

Qin Mu and Yan Jingjing hurriedly followed him, and Yan Jingjing whispered, "There are still two fish in the basket..."

Just as they said this, a bright red fish suddenly appeared in the basket, its two front fins clung to the edge of the basket, and it poked its head out, looked at them with its two eyes, and asked, "Are you two husband and wife?"

Yan Jingjing's face flushed and she lowered her head shyly: "Not yet..."

Another red fish poked its head out from the edge of the basket and a female voice came from its mouth: "We are." After that, the mouths of the two red fish touched each other and they kissed.

Yan Jingjing's face turned even redder, and she quietly tugged at Qin Mu's sleeve. Qin Mu was lost in thought, and only came to his senses after she pulled him. He muttered, "Soup is still more delicious... Sister Jing, what's the matter?"
