Become a Taoist from a woodcutter

Chapter 36 Fishing alone in Hanjiang Snow

It only took Daxiong three days to dismantle the gloves and make them into fishing lines, which were also equipped with a large iron fishhook.

Chu Jiang was not in a hurry to go fishing and continued to live a life of collecting firewood.

The snow stopped for a week, and then it started snowing again.

The firewood business in Chujiang is still in short supply, and this cold winter is very difficult.

Fortunately, Da Xiong is a good person. He keeps the prices of firewood and goods down so that the people in the town can survive.

Everyone is also grateful for the kindness of Big Bear.

Although the world has changed and everyone has improved, it is still not to the extent that everyone can withstand the cold.

In this winter, most people are hiding in bed or warming themselves up by the fire.

Workers at the two major shops had to brave heavy snow to go to work.

Three days passed. On this day, Chu Jiang checked his fortune again.

The red color rises in the north, the water is sparkling, and it should be in the water.

White light appears in the west and south, and black energy appears again in the east.

In the middle there is peace.

"Signs of death appear again in the east. Could it be that the blood ship seeking immortality is back?"

Chu Jiang muttered, not wanting to die.

Tomorrow Beibei Xiaoji, the fishing rod can finally come in handy.

He has been waiting for this auspicious day for so long.

One night passed, before dawn, Chujiang rose.

There was thick snow on the road and snow was still falling in the sky, so he had to put on a bamboo hat and a raincoat.

Chu Jiang came to the river alone. No one was guarding the place, only the fishing nets were still there.

Since Big Bear took charge, he has let this place go. Anyone can come and fish, as long as the bell rings and they leave in time without losing their lives.

This time the Chu River was not in shallow water, but near the dock.

The water here is deeper and there are more big fish.

Ordinary small fish are of no use to him.

Now that he has the power of water condensed by the fish beads, he no longer has to worry about the direction.

I took a sip of wine, warmed up my body, hung up my unique fishing bait, and waited for the bait.

His hook is relatively large, and ordinary small fish cannot eat the hook.

After waiting for a few minutes, no fish took the bait. He raised the hook and the power of the water had dissipated.

Change the bait again and continue fishing.

This is the first time since I got the unique bait that I haven’t caught a fish for so long.

He was not in a hurry and let the power of water ferment for a while.

It is difficult to catch fish in winter, and it takes time for the power of water to spread.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the fishing rod sank.

Chu Jiang exerted some force, and a carp weighing three kilograms jumped out of the water and was put into the fish basket.

The wind is biting and the snow is falling.

A person sitting alone fishing by the river feels like fishing alone in the cold snow in the river.

The sky gradually became brighter, Chujiang turned on the connecting rod mode, and big fish flew up to the water surface one after another, the least one weighing three pounds.

嗡

Suddenly, the fishing line tightened, Chu Jiang raised the rod again, and a tortoise the size of a washbasin flew up.

"I didn't expect to catch a tortoise here." Chu Jiang casually threw the tortoise to the distant shore.

I continued fishing and saw several tortoises in a row, all the size of a basin.

Chu Jiang thought, it should be the group of bastards in the shallow water area who moved here.

Gududu

A large number of bubbles appeared on the water surface, causing even more waves.

The fishing rod in Chu Jiang's hand sank. If he hadn't grasped it tightly, he might have dragged the rod directly.

"It has weight."

Chu Jiang was slightly happy, Xiao Ji should be this fish today.

With one arm exerting force, the water surface stirred up waves, and a golden figure rushed out of the water, with golden scales and a sharp dorsal fin, like a sharp blade. Golden crucian carp!

The golden crucian carp also exploded with great power, swinging violently and causing waves to hit the Chu River.

Chu Jiang raised his left hand lightly, and the incoming waves seemed to be frozen, still in the air.

Fish beads!

He exerted force with his right arm and tightened the fishing rod. The three-meter-long golden crucian carp rushed into the sky and drew a perfect parabola.

bang
The golden crucian carp hit the shore hard, causing a gust of wind and snow.

Chu Jiang quickly closed his pole and came to the golden crucian carp.

The golden crucian carp was still struggling, twisting its body and stirring up snowflakes.

Chu Jiang didn't hesitate at all and slapped the fish on the head.

With a bang, the fish's head cracked open, blood flowed out, and the fish's brain was shattered.

The golden crucian carp was still twitching at the end and had no breath of life.

"What opportunity did this beast get?" Chu Jiang picked up the yellow crucian carp, took the tortoise and the fish basket and left.

Instead of going home, he took a detour to the west to avoid the people in the town.

He was a little disappointed when he disemboweled the golden crucian carp and found no treasure.

The golden crucian carp must have had some chance and has already digested it.

However, being able to transform only to this extent should not be considered a big opportunity.

The real big opportunity should be with that giant python.

He took out the blood beads and pressed them on the golden crucian carp. The golden crucian carp shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The blood beads bloomed with a strange blood light, very bright, like a light bulb.

Chu Jiang held the blood bead, which could not directly absorb the essence of living creatures.

This golden crucian carp had more energy than Wang Bao had before, and far exceeded Zhu Guo's power.

Although there is no treasure, this body of energy is completely enough to compare with the elixir.

It had been enough for him to practice for a period of time. Chu Jiang used blood beads to absorb all the carp and tortoise, and he had more energy.

He left one tortoise to eat and returned with the tortoise.

Back home, Chu Jiang dealt with the tortoise, sat cross-legged, practiced the boy's skill, and refined his essence.

Practice until noon, eat and drink enough, and continue refining.

The rich power of water and earth combine with essence to temper the body.

In the evening, he also walked around the town. Some people talked about the hole made by the golden crucian carp on the riverside, but he didn't know what it was.

They speculated that the giant python in the river might have come ashore, and for a while no one dared to approach the river.

At night, I checked my fortune as usual, made sure the surroundings were safe, and went into the mountains again to collect firewood.

He also began to walk deeper. There was no danger in the hexagram. As long as he was careful, he should not make any mistakes.

Of course, he also asked Big Bear about the topography of the mountains.

There were many Orions before, and Chu Shanping also had a map and gave him a copy.

Deep in the mountains, there is a dilapidated mountain temple built by people from the county seat, which is not far from the county seat.

Big Bear also rested in the mountain temple. It has been dilapidated for many years and no one offered incense.

Chujiang mainly wanders around. Although the hexagrams are calm and calm, what if we encounter some immature elixir?

Unfortunately, he didn't meet it.

There was snow everywhere in the deep mountains, and no animals came out to look for food.

Carrying two loads of firewood, he returned to Dongjiang Town, sold it for fifty cents, bought some food and went home to cook.

The days were calm and leisurely, and no one disturbed his tranquility.

The two major chambers of commerce have begun to prepare for water transportation. Their business still needs to be done. Even if there is danger in the river, they must try to find a safe way out.

Daxiong also sent people to the county seat. He did not want to give up business in the county seat.

If it were not that the land route was too difficult and other counties were too far away, he would have wanted to go to other counties.

Chu Jiang also received news that the new county magistrate had arrived. It was said that he had brought several experts with him to thoroughly investigate the cause of death of the previous county magistrate.

This gave Daxiong hope, and he wanted to use the power of the imperial court to fight against the Yulong Gang, but there was no chance of contact.

Chu Jiang just inquired about the news and did not participate. He was refining the power of the golden crucian carp with peace of mind.
