    Chapter 93 "First update" on the first day of fishing

    In the afternoon, a girl in a blue shirt came to the fish house, probably Lin Bo's daughter. She stood at the door with a pile of quilts in her arms and asked, "Is Mr. Qu here?"

    Probably because she was born by the sea, her skin is not as white and smooth as that of women in the capital, but has a healthy wheat color. Her two braids are wrapped in a blue floral square scarf, giving her a simple beauty..

    Although Tianyimen is deeply favored by the emperor, it is no different from Taoist temples. He practices hard work on weekdays. It doesn't really matter if Qu Chunfeng wants this quilt.Hearing the sound, he walked out of the house and saw a girl. He subconsciously avoided his eyes and saluted: "Is it the girl from the Lin family?"

    A Ying looked at him secretly, thinking that it was just as her father said, he was a handsome scholar with no strength, he had a good character, but he was old-fashioned. She looked a little over his head: "Exactly, my father asked me toI will bring some bedding and tea bowls and utensils to the young master."

    Qu Chunfeng nodded, avoided her hand and took the thing: "Thank you, girl."

    A Ying said with a smile: "Master Qu just calls me A Ying. This is a rural place and there are not so many red tapes."

    Lin Bo felt that Qu Chunfeng was excellent both in appearance and character. However, a girl like A Ying who grew up by the sea seemed to be just curious about him. He thought Qu Chunfeng was good-looking and well-spoken, unlike them.People from such a small place.

    Qu Chunfeng placed the things on the bed and accidentally saw a pair of pearl earrings hanging on Aying's ears. The color was slightly blue in the sunlight. He remembered that the three Mermaid Weeping Pearls stored in the Dachu treasury were also of the same color.He paused slightly and asked as if unintentionally: "The fishermen here make a living by fishing, how can they exchange for money?"

    A Ying explained: "There is a market not far from here. We catch fish and sell them in restaurants and inns. Someone collects them. Why, the young master also wants to go fishing?"

    The aristocrats in the capital have strict etiquette. The noble ladies of those aristocratic families usually stay at home, and even their maiden names are not known to their husbands. It would be rude for a man to look directly at an unmarried girl, not to mention Qu Chunfeng.Half a Taoist priest.

    He kept his eyes half-closed and said, "To be fair to you, girl, I am penniless now and want to do some work to pay for my return home. If I can earn some money, it would be good to go fishing at sea."

    A Ying said: "The money for fishing is meager, and it is hard work. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it as a scholar."

    Qu Chunfeng casually glanced at the pearl earrings on her earlobes, then looked away, with a faint smile as bright as the breeze: "There are many rare treasures in the sea. If you are lucky enough to find one or two pearls, that will be enough."

    A Ying didn't know if she noticed his gaze, and touched her earlobe unconsciously. She looked a little nervous, and explained with a smile: "This bead... this bead was obtained from shells by my father when he went to sea in the early years. You can see the color."Qi Qi stayed here, it's not worth much in fact, if the young master wants to go to sea, it doesn't matter, after my father recovers from his injury, I will tell him that I will take you with me."

    Qu Chunfeng smiled and thanked: "Thank you very much, girl."

    Aying waved her hand and said it was nothing. It was inconvenient for a man and a woman to be alone, and left after a while.

    Before you knew it, it was night. It was so hot during the day that you were sweating profusely, but now there was a chill in your bones. Qu Chunfeng had the mysterious energy to protect his body, so he was naturally not afraid. He had been meditating quietly indoors, waiting for the moon to rise.He quietly opened his eyes and walked out of the door.

    This village is indeed weird.

    The girl was born in poverty, but she used the Mermaid Teardrops worth tens of thousands of gold as jewelry. Knowing that all the rare treasures in the world were collected in the Chu Palace treasury, they could only manage to collect three. He didn't believe that A Ying didn't know the value of these beads.

    They live in poverty and refuse to leave, as if they are waiting for something.

    The sharks like to appear at night, especially at night with a full moon. Qu Chunfeng walked out of the house and saw that the sea water had receded and was not as turbulent as during the day. He took out the long sword from the Qiankun bag and jumped down from the cliff., landed on the beach as lightly as a dragonfly on the water, without making the slightest sound.

    The sharks are not as gentle and harmless as in the legends. The siren's songs are always confusing, and there are sharp claws on the ten fingers, which can cut gold and jade, and cut iron like mud. If the villagers hadn't died in the previous life, they would have been angry.They have lost their minds, and it may not be so easy for the court to catch them.

    Qu Chunfeng never takes his guard lightly. He walked to the coast, sat down on a rock, put his long sword across his knees, took out the pearls and jade presented by the Quanzhou governor from the Qiankun bag, and picked out the most exquisite one.Glass beads.

    The thing that the governor of Quanzhou dared to bring as a bribe must be something extraordinary. There were twenty rosary beads in total. They were round and crystal clear. They were made of colored glaze and carved into a five-petal Buddha lotus. They used the finest ice-type purple jade as the lotus leaves. They were worth the price.It's called ingenuity.

    The rosary was wrapped around Qu Chunfeng's well-joined wrist, shining under the moonlight, and was extremely beautiful. However, he directly cut off the jade thread, took a ball of glass beads into the palm of his hand, and then sprinkled it with a flick of his sleeves.sea surface——

    The bead did not sink to the bottom, but was held up by his mysterious energy, floating on the sea surface, looming in the undulating waves, and shining brightly, like stars entering the sea.

    The sharks like to pick up such shiny and exquisite things to decorate their nests. Especially the sharks who are about to reach adulthood will look for precious stones and jade for courtship.

    Qu Chunfeng sat quietly on the rock, using colored glass as a bait. The green ribbon binding his hair was blown by the wind, and the corners of his clothes were flying, but his body remained motionless. He seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed, but in fact he was always thinking about his surroundings.There was a lot of movement, but unfortunately, apart from the surging waves and the movement of fish swimming by, there was no trace of the sharks.

    Jiang Taigong had been fishing in the Yinxi River for fifty-six years without catching a single fish. Qu Chunfeng could not be like him and had to wait for decades at the beach.After about two hours, until the moon was almost hidden by dark clouds, he finally opened his eyes and slowly stood up from the rock.

    The shark is really not that easy to catch.

    The art of immortality is not that good either.

    Not only Emperor Zhaoning wanted to seek immortality, Qu Chunfeng also wanted to know whether true immortality existed in this world.He raised his hand and clasped it in the air, and all the glass beads were taken back. He probably glanced at them, and there were twenty of them, not too many, not too many. He frowned slightly and threw them into the sea.

    This time, without using Xuan Qi to hold them up, the beads quickly disappeared in the waves. One of the glass beads survived and rolled into the crevice of the rock.

    The system was puzzled and appeared behind him, "...Is immortality really that important to you?"

    Qu Chunfeng had already concluded in his heart that it was an evildoer. Every time it appeared, it appeared elusive and could not detect its presence. After hearing this, he was silent for a moment and asked, "So what?"

    The system snorted: "Even if you want to seek immortality, you shouldn't harm people's lives."

    Qu Chunfeng closed his eyes and said nothing. After a moment, he said lightly: "Too many people have died in this world. You can't save them, and neither can I. In troubled times, the only way to stay safe is to be wise."

    After he finished speaking, he stared at the rough and dark sea surface, as if he wanted to enter the water to explore, but he gave up the idea after thinking that he was not good at water.

    ...It would be bad if you drowned.

    Finally, he picked up the sword, turned around and left the seaside.

    The moonlight spread faintly on the sea surface, and then broke into sparkling light. Not long after Qu Chunfeng left, the water surface that was originally just surging quietly suddenly sounded a slight splash, as if something was quietly coming.Swimmed over.

    I don't know when a hand was covered on the rocks on the shore. It was slender and pale, with a faint cyan color, and the nails were sharp and long. A cold light flashed through it, which seemed to be better than Qu Chunfeng's hand forged from black iron.The sword must be three points sharper.

    The hand groped gently in the cracks of the gravel, and touched a glass bead that had been left behind just now. He dexterously fiddled with it with his nails, then held it in the palm of his hand and submerged it under the water again.

    The sea is still calm.

    Early the next morning, before dawn, Lin Bo suddenly came to Qu Chunfeng's house, stretched out his hand and knocked on his door: "Master Qu, Master Qu."

    Not long after, the wooden door opened with a creak. Qu Chunfeng stood behind the door. He didn't look sleepy. He seemed to have woken up a long time ago: "It's Mr. Lin. What's the matter?"

    Lin Bo explained: "I heard from A Ying yesterday that the young master wanted to go fishing, so I came to ask you if you wanted to go with him."

    When Qu Chunfeng heard this, he was startled for a moment, then looked at his legs and hesitated to say: "Of course it's gone, it's just your injury..."

    Uncle Lin didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Thanks to the golden medicine that the young master gave me yesterday, after I crushed it and applied it, my leg injury was mostly healed, and now I can walk without any worries."

    What Qu Chunfeng gave was the inner secret medicine, which was naturally different from ordinary things. He smiled when he heard the words and said, "As long as nothing happens, that medicine was just a gift from a friend. It would be a waste to keep it here. It can help you naturally."Is good."

    Lin Bo saw a red sun rising from the sea and said to Qu Chunfeng: "Master Qu, the sun has already risen. If you want to go to the sea, it is best to go at this time. Please pack your things and come with me.""

    Qu Chunfeng actually had nothing to deal with, so he changed into light clothes and went to the beach with Lin Bo. He remembered watching the stars last night, and after a rough calculation, he found that there was wind and rain.

    Lin Bo was born and raised in this fishing village for decades. The only valuables were a hut and two or three fishing boats. He walked onto one of them, raised the sail, and said to Qu Chunfeng who was standing on the shore: "Master,Come down, be careful not to get seasick."

    Qu Chunfeng had martial arts skills, but he didn't expose them. He didn't want to let Uncle Lin see it, so he deliberately staggered onto the boat holding the hem of his robe, as if he was powerless.

    Seeing this, Lin Bo supported him and asked him to sit on the deck: "Master, please sit down. I will call you later when we pull the net."

    Qu Chunfeng grew up in the capital since childhood and did not know the nature of water. Looking at the endless sea, he really felt dizzy. There was no need to pretend, his face was already pale and ugly, so he could only hold on to the side of the boat to steady himself.

    Lin Bo glanced at him: "Young Master is a scholar, I'm afraid he hasn't gone out to sea on a boat and suffered such hardships, right?"

    Qu Chunfeng said: "Although I haven't gone to sea, I read "Sou Shen Ji" when I was young and saw the descriptions of what I saw and heard on the sea, the gods and ghosts, and I have longed for it. If I am a lucky person in my later life, I might be able to see the Penglai Fairy Island., Thousand-year-old turtle, shark in the water."

    What he said throughout the entire article was just to prepare for the last sentence.

    When Lin Bo heard this, he paused for a moment while rowing the boat and shook his head, as if he did not agree with what he said, but he did not show it: "The turtles and sharks are all fake, just made up by scholars.Young Master, please don’t believe what I said above. I have been fishing at sea for decades at least, including my grandfather’s generation, for hundreds of years, and I have never seen any sharks.”

    Qu Chunfeng smiled: "Maybe, even Wansheng doesn't think it's credible."

    If you observe carefully, you will see that he is actually a very unsmiling person. Occasionally he smiles two or three times, but it is only in a light, polite and distant manner.

    Unknowingly, they had sailed to the middle of the sea. A red sun slowly rose, and the shimmering waves flashed with tiny red light. Qu Chunfeng suddenly remembered that during the massacre of the village in the previous life, hundreds of masters besieged the sharks., the fire is soaring into the sky, and the sea is also so scarlet, not dyed by the red sun, but by blood.

    Everyone has demonic obstacles in their heart, not to mention a profound scholar like Qu Chunfeng. He has been trapped in a bottleneck for a long time. He almost went crazy during several meditation practices, but it was difficult to find the root cause.

    There was clearly an endless sea in front of him, but a flash of scarlet suddenly flashed in front of Qu Chunfeng's eyes. There was no scene, just a dazzling red. He closed his eyes, frowned, and was confused. Finally, he responded to Lin Bo's shout.God.

    Lin Bo packed up the fishing net and said to Qu Chunfeng: "Let's cast the net here. Mr. Qu is optimistic about it. There is also something special about casting the net. If the heat is not enough, you won't be able to catch a single fish."

    After he finished speaking, he skillfully threw the fishing net towards the sea. The pile of nets immediately unfolded and sank into the sea with a crash. After waiting for a while, Lin Bojing felt something moving underneath, so he fished it up bit by bit.It was actually a pocket full of seafood.

    Qu Chunfeng saw that his lower body was calm and he used his waist to exert force. His movements seemed simple, but in fact he had many skills. He helped him pull up the net: "It turns out that there are many things to pay attention to when casting a net."

    Lin Bo was a good fisherman and had a sharp eye. The fish in the net were jumping around, water splashed everywhere, and Qu Chunfeng's hem was wet.

    When they were unaware of it, the boat floated quietly to the depths where the rocks were the most, as if there was a force deliberately driving it.

    Lin Bo said: "Everything in this world has its own rules."

    He sat on the deck and removed all the fish from the net, leaving only a few big ones, and all the remaining small fish were returned to the sea. Qu Chunfeng paused when he saw this: "Old man, why did you let them go?"

    Lin Bo said with a smile: "Leave a way to survive, just enough to eat, there is no need to kill them all. Besides, if there are no small fish, where will the big fish come from? Master, right?"

    Qu Chunfeng paused: "Of course it is."

    The two of them were busy closing the net just now, and did not notice that the surrounding terrain had changed. It was not until a huge wave suddenly hit, and the hull of the boat hit the sea rocks and shook violently, that they suddenly realized that they had arrived at the reef beach without knowing when.A deep whirlpool gradually appeared in the distance, and its scope began to gradually expand, and the ship's hull no longer obeyed its orders.

    Lin Bo's expression changed greatly when he saw this, and he quickly pulled up the sail and paddled: "Oh no, we encountered a whirlpool, hurry up!"

    But it was too late. The whirlpool seemed to have magic power, sucking the fishing boat tightly in. A huge wave hit, and the boat capsized directly. Qu Chunfeng also fell into the water. He didn't know the nature of water.I couldn't breathe, I couldn't even open my eyes, and the seawater gradually flooded my mouth and nose.
