124 No worries, fishing Taihu Lake(1/2)
Since the prefect of Wu County Zhao Juzhen, the imperial envoy of the imperial court, Wang, and others have led officials from the thirteen counties of Wu County to visit, and other senior leaders of large and small gangs have followed one after another.
Even the rich merchants, wealthy businessmen and gentry from various counties in Wu County flocked to Zhouzhuang to visit Su Xian Mansion, hoping to see the immortal side and get along with the immortal spirit.
Even the many neighbors and fishermen in Zhouzhuang come to worship immortals every day. Even if they cannot enter Suxian Mansion, they will worship outside the door, beg for blessings and receive blessings from the immortals.
The originally quiet and peaceful remote Zhouzhuang water town has become bustling in just a few days. The roads are like dragons, and the Suxian Mansion is crowded with gates, like the bustling city of Gusu County.
Su Chen couldn't bear the trouble.
I can't stay in the Su Mansion in Zhouzhuang.
But I didn't think of a place to go for a while.
He simply hid in the vast Taihu Lake, which was thousands of miles away, and sailed on the lake to see a quiet place.
...
A small boat floated casually on the rippling blue lake. Su Chen sat on the boat, with one fishing rod, rafting and fishing.
Few people passed by the reeds, and finally calmed down.
Except for the occasional fishing boat or two nearby, no fishermen knew him, so naturally no one disturbed him.
His heart is as calm as water, calm and peaceful.
With this leisure and tranquility, I also want to think about where I will go and what I will do in the future.
This mortal world.
How many heroes are wearing furious clothes and angry horses, wandering time in the world.
How many people pursue fame, wealth and power, where is the end?
I saw him building a tall building, he was watching him entertaining guests, and he was watching his building collapse.
Countless conspiracies and tricks, and the wars were defeated in an instant. Things in the world were impermanent, and they started to flow and left... The world rolled like flowing water, unable to withstand the erosion of time.
The court was prominent and the secular powers were not willing to favor him.
The road to the world is already at the end.
These are not their own destination, so where should he go?
Su Chen sighed in his heart.
He held a volume of "Xiaoyaoyou" in his hand, and his soul had already been formed. He had stepped into the threshold of the path of cultivation with one foot. He just wanted to unveil the veil of this world of cultivation with his immortals, and was unwilling to waste time here.
But a little confused.
Where is the road ahead?
Su Chen took out a map of the earth, mountains and rivers in the Tang Dynasty from his arms, looked through it, and thought about it carefully.
This map of the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty was found in the wing room where the real person in Hanshan lived when the Hanshan Taoist Temple was burned.
The real person in Hanshan often sees the head but not the tail. It is said that he likes to visit famous mountains and rivers and make friends with experts from all over the country. It is not surprising that there is a map of the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty.
However, this seems to be just an ordinary map of the land in the Tang Dynasty, with many famous mountains and rivers written on it. Some places were circled with pens and ink, and marked that spiritual materials were found here, or strange phenomena appeared.
Su Chen thought about this, this was the map used by Hanshan Real People. Those places he had circled must be places he had been to personally... searching for various spiritual materials for making talismans, or looking for something.
Before the death of the White Lotus Sect Mao Ziyuan, he mentioned that Hanshan Zhenren came from a gathering place of immortals called Chaoge Fairy City.
Unfortunately, the location of Chaoge Xiancheng is not marked on this map.
This map has been studied for several days, but there is no hidden place, and no trace of it is seen.
Su Chen wanted to find Chaoge Fairy City, but he didn't know where to start.
"I really have no choice but to follow some famous mountains and rivers that Hanshan Zhenren had visited to see if I could find any clues! Wu County has no immortality, but due to the vastness of the Tang Dynasty, I often hear that scholars are celebrating the deeds of immortals. In this world, there must be a place where immortals gather."
Su Chen was thinking secretly in his heart.
...
Not far away, several fishing boats passed by the small boats in the reeds.
Some fishermen on these fishing boats were catching nets to fish, while talking about Su Shangxian who appeared in Zhouzhuang. Speaking of this mysterious Su Shangxian, they all showed a look of awe and gratitude.
Su Shangxian helped the government and the disciples of the Jianghu to wipe out the Giant Whale Gang. They went to various counties to sell fish and no longer had to pay the Giant Whale Gang's weighing fee, so the fishermen lost a heavy burden.
It is said that the prefect Zhao and the county magistrates all went to Zhouzhuang to pay homage. Even today, they were alarmed and wanted to find the immortal to ask the emperor, and asked the immortal to go to Chang'an to serve as the national teacher.
In the past few days, all kinds of incredible rumors have been circulating on this Jiangnan water town. The news has changed a few times, and it has become more and more mysterious.
Su Chen heard the comments of these fishermen from afar and just smiled bitterly. Fortunately, there were few people who had seen him, otherwise there would be no peace in this secluded place of Taihu Lake for a thousand miles.
Sudden.
The fishing rod he was fishing moved a few times.
Su Chen glanced at him and saw a tide surging on the lake under the boat.
A huge shadow was swimming under the lake, and it seemed that there was a giant creature that bit the fish hook.
"Hey! What a coincidence!"
Su Chen's heart moved, grabbed the fishing rod, and injected some magic power.
Suddenly, the fishing line emitted a green light, tight as a steel wire, extremely tough. The huge creature dragged the boat in the lake, and it kept pulling the fishing line.
At the bottom of the lake, the giant seemed to find himself hooked, obviously angry, and began to churn in the lake. The waves rolled, and even the boats were jogging around the lake.
When the fishing boats not far away saw the abnormality at the bottom of the lake, the fishermen were shocked and frightened.
"No, it's a big fish monster!"
"The fish monster comes out and makes trouble. Row away quickly!"
"Young man, that's the Taihu fish monster. Let go and run away!"
Those old fishermen were very experienced. When they saw the strange sight in the lake, they immediately knew that the terrifying big fish monster had come out, their faces changed drastically, and they shouted loudly at Su Chen, who was on a small boat in the middle of the vortex.
This Taihu fish monster is a legendary ferocious creature in Taihu Lake.
Fishermen in Taihu Lake, no one knows how long this big fish monster has lived.
According to word of mouth by fishermen, the ancestors of the upper and upper generations passed on to their ancestors that this big fish monster has been rampant in Taihu Lake for at least four or five hundred years. Its animal body is very large and powerful. If it is accidentally trapped by the fishermen, it can drag a large fishing boat backwards in the lake and tear the big fishing net.
If that's all, that's fine.
But in the past century, what has become terrifying is that it has become a water monster, able to use demonic magic in the lake, with endless demonic magic, sinking the fishing boat directly to the bottom of the lake.
Almost every few years, it will come out to make trouble, sinking one or two fishing boats, and destroying the family.
When fishermen encounter fish monsters, the boat will suffer heavy losses at the least, and in severe cases, they will be swallowed by fish monsters. When fishermen see big fish monsters, they will be despised.
Even the first-class experts in the world who are proficient in water and even the bandits of the Giant Whale Gang cannot do anything about it.
There were also some experts who came to Taihu Lake to try to hunt this fish monster. However, it was elusive and often disappeared from Taihu Lake and was unknown where it went. It even appeared in other lakes dozens of miles or hundreds of miles away. After the first half of the year, it appeared in Taihu Lake again.
Occasionally, if a master encounters it, it is not its opponent.
Fishermen from all over Wujun are extremely awe-inspiring and worship each year by lakes of all sizes and big and small, praying that the big fish monsters will not come out to cause trouble, and there will be a good harvest this year.
At this time, a huge whirlpool of more than ten feet had appeared under the lake, sucking the lake water frantically.
The boat was already trapped in a huge vortex, and was about to be swallowed by this big vortex and be swept into the bottom of the lake.
"This is...a water-based magic?!"
Su Chen's eyes were condensed, standing on the boat, holding the fishing rod with green lights in both hands, preventing it from unhooking.
This is a very ordinary fishing rod and fishing line. Under normal circumstances, the fishing line cannot withstand more than tens of kilograms of force.
However, he used his magic power to protect the fishing line, and the fishing line was as tough as steel wire, and it was difficult to break even if it was thousands of pounds of force. In addition, if the threading method was clever, it would not be easily broken.
Four or five years ago, he also saw this big fish monster release water-based demon magic in the lake at the foot of Qionglong Mountain.
Su Chen simply abandoned the boat and walked on the waves on the lake.
His fishing technique is extremely clever, sometimes loose and sometimes tight.
The fish monster under the lake had thousands of pounds of brute force, but broke free from the hook. Once it loosened its strength, it was tightened by Su Chen, but it was removed and could not escape.
"This... this is an immortal!"
"Can he be Su Shangxian?"
The fishermen on several fishing boats in the distance were stunned to see a young fairy walking on the waves in the lake fighting against the big fish monster.
After an hour, the snowball monster's strength was greatly reduced and he finally exhausted.
“Hao——!”
Seeing that the time was coming, Su Chen suddenly exerted force, and his toes walked on the lake surface with waves. He dragged the huge big fish monster out of the vortex in the water and was dragged away on the lake surface.
He ran out for several miles in one breath and jumped to the shore of the lake.
Swing the fish hook.
"boom!"
The huge body of the snow-spotted fish monster was hit on the shore. It hit the ground hard, making it dizzy and dizzy.
