Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 290 The Lord of Teachings
In late autumn, on the shore of the Huai River.

Su Ji and Yuan Sheng, wearing bamboo hats and holding a fishing rod, were sitting on the bank fishing.

Looking at it at a glance, the eyes are full of desolate colors.The grass by the river was a melancholy pale yellow, and there were no fresh flowers to be found.There are dilapidated thatched cottages all around, and in the weeds on the bank, an unknown sword is stuck in the soil, standing against the wind.

"Master, what is he doing there?" Yuan Sheng pointed to a dragon-bearded tiger under a tree.

Su Ji glanced at it and sighed, "Count the fallen leaves."

Watching the dragon beard and tiger paying attention, Yuan Sheng asked, "Why did he do such a thing?"

"You don't need to know, or you will become as stupid as him." Looking at the reflections of fallen leaves in the water, Su Ji slowly picked up a wine gourd,

Yuan Sheng persuaded: "Master, drink less, alcohol is poison to the body."

"Drinking hurts the body, not drinking hurts..." Su Ji took a sip as he said.

"Sad?" Looking at Su Ji's lonely expression, Yuan Sheng said, "Master has been depressed recently, still thinking about Taoist Lu Ya?"

"I'm just thinking about myself." Su Ji held up the wine gourd in front of Yuan Sheng, and said, "I once had a dream. In the dream, an old man held up a wine gourd like this and told me: mortals have mortals. Fun. The world is like this wine gourd, people are soaked in it. The more time passes, the more intoxicated it becomes. But after living for so many years, I can’t figure out more and more, what fun do ordinary people have besides being led by fate? "

Yuan Sheng pursed his lips and blinked blankly, "Master, what happened in the dream doesn't make any sense, so why take it seriously? Besides, Master is now a cultivator, not an ordinary mortal."

Su Ji said: "Since I went to Kunlun Mountain to practice, I have become more and more aware that there are so many bullshit things in this world. I think I have changed. I used to hate those who talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long." But now I'm also starting to be arrogant and accuse others of killing innocent people indiscriminately. Rather than being a sanctimonious hypocrite, I would rather be a real villain like I used to be."

Yuan Sheng said: "It doesn't matter whether the master is a gentleman or a villain, only the master treats me the best in the world. Not only did he save my life, but he also accompanied me all the way to investigate my life experience."

Su Ji looked at his fishing rod, yawned, and said, "Little monkey, do you remember correctly? Your father said that if he came here to fish, he could meet your uncle?"

Yuan Sheng said: "I must remember correctly. Before my father died, he made a special confession that I would not be allowed to go down the mountain unless I practiced fishing well."

Su Ji murmured: "Who are your own father and your uncle?"

Yuan Sheng shook his head ignorantly.

After pondering for a while, Taiyin said: "In the ancient times, there were two great monkeys in the same world, the gibbon monkey and the red-spiked horse monkey. In the same vein, we have always had contacts."

Su Ji looked at Yuan Sheng, and said in astonishment, "Could it be that the Great Sage Water Ape is your uncle?"

As soon as the words blurted out, Yuan Sheng suddenly felt the fishing rod move, and quickly picked it up!

There was no fish, only a straight, hookless, bare copper needle attached to the lower end of the fishing line.

Su Ji shook his head and sighed, "Little monkey, are you sure you can fish with a straight hook?"

Yuan Sheng nodded, "Father said Jiang Taigong just fished with a straight hook, not only for soft-shelled turtles, but also for eels."

"I'm afraid I don't have Jiang Taigong's skills. I haven't even seen a fish shadow in the past few days."

After saying this, Su Ji put down his fishing rod and lost his last patience.

At this time, just in the evening, the sunset dyed half of the sky red.

The river beat against the embankment, making a lonely sound.

Tai Yin said: "The fishing that Yuan Sheng mentioned may not be soft-shelled turtles or rice field eels, but Wu Zhiqi's mount—the squid."

"Aufish?"

Su Ji was no stranger to this name, and remembered that when he first met Master Wu Ji, he had used him as bait to catch squid.He took out the sheep horn dagger that he carried with him, and cut his fingers without hesitation...

Looking at the blood flowing from Su Ji's fingers, Yuan Sheng couldn't help frowning, and shouted: "Master, don't be too hard on yourself! If you can't catch fish, you can think of other ways. What are you doing?"

"Fishing."

As he spoke, Su Ji put his hand into the water, and the blood dripping from between his fingers was like a drop of ink, rippling in the water and gradually spreading.

In the time of a cup of tea, the calm water surface is swaying, and a series of bubbles are continuously emerging from the bottom of the water, as if a giant is exhaling in the water.

Su Ji realized that he was done, and quickly retracted his arms.

All of a sudden, a powerful huge wave surged, and the river suddenly parted from the middle!

Su Ji looked up, only to see a huge shadow of a hundred feet high on the water, and the bath water flew into the air!

"What a big soft-shelled turtle!" Yuan Sheng yelled, and saw a huge monster like a tall building jumping up in the air, with a dragon head, a turtle body, a unicorn tail, and a giant squid.

As the saying goes, "A dragon has nine sons, and Ao occupies the head." Ao is the eldest of the nine sons of the dragon.It is said that in the East China Sea, there are three fairy mountains on the back of a giant turtle: Penglai, Fangzhang, Yingzhou and others.Although the current one is not that big, it is twice as big as the one in the Kunlun Unfreezing Spring!
Su Ji just took out the Hongjun bell, and was about to subdue the carp, when he heard a yell in his ear:
"careful!"

In the voice, an ax flew out spinning and turned into a huge afterimage.With a flash of white light, the giant carp was chopped down with an axe.

The ax spun a circle in the air, dragged the giant carp in a circle, flew back to the tree, landed with a bang, and a big hole was smashed into the ground on the shore!
With a "plop", the vacated headless fish body fell into the pool, splashing a large splash of water.

"A mountain axe?"

Su Ji looked in the direction the ax came from, and saw a fat man in white clothes floating in the air.

The fat man in white turned his head and found Su Ji. He couldn't help being surprised and said excitedly, "Third Junior Brother?"

Su Ji took a closer look and found that the fat man was actually Niu Zhu!The Niu Zhu in front of him not only improved his cultivation by leaps and bounds, but also became unbearably fat.Although Niu Zhu was not tall in the past, his figure was quite well-proportioned, but now his body is fat and short, looking round and flat, his fat face is round and round like a big white steamed bun, and the flesh of his chin hangs down, making him People are worried that the meat may fall off at any time.

"Why are you here?" Su Ji asked.

Niu Zhu said with a silly smile: "It's a long story, let's talk while drinking the soup."

After all, Niu Zhu stood in the air, chanting words in his mouth, and the water splashed just now was drawn into the big pit on the bank in an instant.

When Su Ji approached, he saw the spring water in the big pit was boiling, like a big pot of soup being stewed.

Yuan Sheng ran over curiously, and saw the carp's head soaked in the turbulent water, with bubbles bubbling on the surface of the water.

When the water is boiled, it sparkles and the colors become vivid and eye-catching.There are faint oily flowers floating in the soup.Smelling a tempting fresh fragrance, Su Ji must have boiled the carp soup almost.

Yuan Sheng was drooling from the sidelines, swallowing up and down with his Adam's apple moving.

Niu Zhu licked his lips, with a look of salivation on his face, although he still stood motionless, his eyeballs were already about to fall into the pit.

Su Ji closed his eyes and sniffed carefully, and said sadly, "I never imagined that I would have such a good fortune in my lifetime."

At the entrance of the soup, the beef bamboo is full of deliciousness. Every time you taste it, you have a different taste. The process of drinking the soup seems to have gone through the youth and white head in an instant, and all the flavors of life are in the soup.

Su Ji looked sideways and saw Niu Zhu bursting into tears, apparently remembering his dead master.

Yuan Sheng looked at the weeping Niu Zhu, and asked in bewilderment, "Master, who is this fat man?"

Su Ji introduced: "He is my second senior brother, the leader of Chanjiao."
