Chapter 32 Black River Fishing
Yu Lie came to the busiest street in Heishui Town.

Although it was already late at night, there were not few pedestrians on the street. Instead, they were one after another. They were all in black robes and hoods, like ghosts.

Some people who hunted the goods at night were peddling along the street. Some of them smelled very strong of blood, as if they were wearing blood clothes, like ghosts.

In particular, the goods sold by some people are obviously not bloody, but their bodies are still full of fishy smell and mottled with blood.

In Heishui Town at night, the security has dropped a lot. Fortunately, the crowded streets are still orderly.

Yu Lie walked among them, vigilant in his heart, but not too worried.After leaving the street and residential area later, it is time for him to be worried.

When I came to a stall selling second-hand goods, Yu Lie pointed to hooks, iron chains, nets, etc., and asked:
"How about these prices?"

The stall owner glanced at Yu Lie indifferently, and said a price casually.Yu Lie frowned slightly, but he didn't leave just then, but checked the quality of these fishing gear.

The reason why he didn't rush directly to the river was that he came here to buy fishing tools, other than to go around and deceive others.

The quality of the fishing gear is not bad, not too rusted, but there is quite a bit of blood on it, I don't know if it is fish blood or human blood, the origin may not be so auspicious.

Yu Lie was already shopping around. After hesitating for a while, he took out the little talisman money left on him, and simply chose hook claws and wire fishing rods, but he didn't buy too much.

Seeing that Yu Lie was willing to pay, the stall owner's stern face remained unchanged, he just said: "Return at [-]% off." Then he signaled Yu Lie to pick up the fishing gear he liked.

Nodding slightly, Yu Lie picked up his things and left in a hurry.

In the eyes of the stall owner, Yu Lie was indistinguishable from those Taoist boys who came out to fish and hunt animals at night on the street.

Next, Yu Lie wandered around again, bought a few small things, and then walked to the edge of the Heihe River.

But when he was about to leave the street, he suddenly saw an acquaintance on the street.

The other party was holding a paper lantern in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other, blocking passers-by, arguing fiercely with the other party.

She is fat and tall, and she was Yu Lie's previous charter wife.

"Hey! You son of a bitch, my skills are poor, and I can't catch fish, so you blame my bait?"

The charter woman and a Taoist boy pushed and shoved: "Everyone comment, just a few baits, do you really want to catch black snake fish every time?"

Yu Lie took a few glances, and immediately understood that the charter woman must have boasted about her bait, coaxed the shallow Taoist boys to buy it, and then someone came to her door.

Dao Tong, who asked the charter woman to make a theory, really had just arrived in Heishui Town not long ago, and his face immediately flushed with anger.

The renter continued to scold the street: "Well, you young man, are you bullying your mother-in-law and a widow? Let's go! You want to argue, let's go to the ghost soldiers on the street to discuss it!"

Yu Lie didn't mean to join in the fun, he just thought to himself: "Although there are people watching the street, it's not as good as during the day... Your mother-in-law is so deceitful, isn't she afraid of being chopped up?"

Shaking his head, Yu Lie tightened his black robe and left silently.

He followed the route that the fishermen took the most, and walked to the Blackwater River in a low-key manner.

There are many people walking on this road, which means it is a little safer.Because it is relatively close to the town, those who dare to kill and steal goods will be more or less scrupulous.

But in the same way, where there are many people, the black snake fish is often too smart. Even if you are lucky and encounter a fish biting the hook, you may not be able to catch it.

Therefore, Daoists who are courageous and skilled often go to remote and uninhabited places.Only novices like Yu Lie would go to Heishui Town to practice their hands.

Soon.

Yu Lie came to the edge of the Heishui River where the mountains were windy and windy. He looked around and found that although there were many people nearby, there were no crowds of fishermen.

On the contrary, one person could be vaguely seen at least a hundred steps away, and the other person was extremely alert to Yu Lie's passing by, and immediately turned his head.

The night was dark, everyone was covered with robes, and the candles were dim.Yu Lie couldn't see the other party's face, actions, and whether he had caught fish, and the other party was the same.

Both sides felt like two ghosts, passing by the river.

In this situation, Yu Lie breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, if he really wants to catch a fish later, he doesn't have to worry too much about being seen by the people around him.

Having arrived at the edge of the Black River, Yu Lie couldn't hold back his anticipation. He wandered around the river quickly, and then chose a sunken cliff to block the wind and also block the sight of others.

Because of his night vision, Yu Lie didn't even light a candle. He sat down cross-legged, inserted the iron frame, tied it firmly, and put down the claws.

He was still beating in the crevices of the stone beside him, nailed an iron pin, and tied it to his body with a hemp rope.This is to prevent the big fish caught by the hook from being torn off by the other party accidentally.

There are many monsters in the Black River, not only the black snake fish, there are spirit monsters, and there are not a few Dao children who are swallowed by fish every year.

Therefore, even if Yu Lie boasted of his strength, he did not dare to miss this point, lest his feet slip later and it would be too late to exert all his strength.

After the sound of ding ding sounded, Yu Lie was getting ready again in an orderly manner.

While he was working, the fishy smell of the Heihe River and the cold and rusty iron gas of the iron pins soaked him step by step. Yu Lie felt as if he had already stepped into the river, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

In the effort of a cup of tea, Yu Lie finished the work completely, and he carefully peeked around again, before carefully taking out the oiled paper wrapped from his arms, and the fish pieces wrapped in the fish-killing robe.

In the dim, almost nonexistent moonlight.

Yu Lie hid from the mountain wind and exhaled a breath of white air, which disappeared coldly.

He hung the fish piece on the ferocious iron hook, and then threw it into the river forcefully.

Crashing, the sound of iron chains flowing.

Mixed with the galloping of the Heihe River, the hook was plunged into the darkness, and was swallowed silently.

After a long time, Yu Liefang realized that the iron rod and cable in his hand were no longer flowing rapidly. He immediately grabbed the fishing rod, focused his eyes, looked at the river several floors lower, and searched left and right, only to see a little scarlet green on the black water.

The green dot fluctuates like will-o'-the-wisp, slightly weak, flickering and flickering.

There are holes in the rocks of the cliff, and the mountain wind whimpers.

Yu Lie took a deep breath of the cold air, quietly held the fishing rod, fixed it on the cliff, and waited patiently.

Although he was calm on the surface, Yu Lie was thinking wildly for a while after hooking the hook:
"I don't know if the trick of the old nonsense is true or not. If it is false, I will fish with the detoxified fish pieces, so at least let me catch something. When I sell it, I can buy a black snake fish. Tomorrow, I will go back to Danfang for work..."

If the money is lost today, Yu Lie will either owe the poisonous black snake fish on credit tomorrow, or he will have to ask Carotou and the others to borrow money.

After dozens of breaths passed, the hook rope kept shaking, and Yu Lie's mind became more and more confused.

They are all small fish and shrimps pecking at random, if there is a few more delays, if the big fish can't come, his bait will be eaten up.

But the next moment.

The fishing rod in Yu Lie's hand shook violently, he squinted his eyes slightly, the river water was pitch black, and the scarlet light spots had disappeared!

"There are fish!"

Yu Lie was overjoyed...
