Chapter 52: Fishing for red leaves by Qiyuetan
No matter how noisy the outside world is, the back mountain of Baiyun Temple is still peaceful and peaceful. Li Yunsheng's life is very regular when getting up on time every day, practicing boxing, carrying water, washing clothes, reading books, eating, washing dishes, meditating and practicing.
Today is a little different. He went out with a bamboo basket early and didn't come back.
"Not here..."
When she found that Li Yunsheng was not at home, she was wrapped tightly with her body. Jiang Lingxue stood in the big tree at the door of the cottage in the back mountain and paced for a while. After waiting for a long time, she found that Li Yunsheng still had not come back. So she yelled at her hands, rubbed her cold hands and walked down the mountain with some disappointment.
As winter gradually approaches, the temperature of autumn water is getting lower. The sun is covered by layers of cold fog. The sky is covered with blue-gray, with no strong wind or heavy snow. However, the air is so dry that it can freeze and crack people's skin. Although most of the snow has dissipated, the ground has long been frozen as hard as ice.
If nothing is wrong in this kind of weather, usually no one will be willing to go out.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Lingxue was still wondering if he had to wait for a while for Li Yunsheng. At this time, Li Yunsheng's third senior brother Li Changgeng was bare-armed, revealing his knotted muscles, and ran past Jiang Lingxue with heat all over his body.
"Hey, the little girl from Baicaotang?"
Li Changgeng seemed a little surprised when he discovered Jiang Lingxue.
"Yes, Chang, good morning, Senior Brother Chang Geng."
A shirtless man stood in front of him, Jiang Lingxue seemed very uncomfortable, and a blush appeared on her face.
"Are you here to find Li Yunsheng?"
"yes……"
Jiang Lingxue's face turned redder.
"He is fishing in Qiyue Lake. It's very cold. If you have something to do, you can go to my place first while roasting the fire and waiting!"
Why can't I see that you feel cold? Jiang Lingxue shook her head and smiled in her heart.
"No, I'll go find him."
She refused Li Changgeng's invitation without hesitation.
Qiyue Lake is actually very big. The place where Li Yun fetched water in his daily life was just a small pool that extends from Qiyue Lake around Qiyue Mountain.
Jiang Lingxue walked through the path west of the pool, and after about a stick of incense, her eyes suddenly became clear. The scenery of the bleak autumn forest mountain just now was like the water marsh surrounded by clouds and mist.
But it became even colder here, and a layer of mist rose from the vast water surface of Qiyue Lake, covering the distant mountains and the scenery by the lake.
After looking up, Jiang Lingxue finally saw a figure holding a fishing rod under a small straw shed covered in mist.
When I got closer, I found that it was Li Yunsheng.
"Senior Sister Lingxue? Why did you come here?"
Li Yunsheng also saw Jiang Lingxue.
"I'm here to look for it...I happened to pass by here."
I wanted to say that I came to find you, but Jiang Lingxue's face turned red and she couldn't say it.
Hearing this, Li Yunsheng looked at Jiang Lingxue in confusion, and then looked at the lonely and cold scenery around Qiyue Lake, and was a little puzzled why Jiang Lingxue passed by here.
"It's such a cold day, are there still fish taking the bait?"
Seeing Li Yunsheng's confusion, Jiang Lingxue quickly changed the subject.
"have."
Li Yunsheng also turned his gaze back to the fishing rod in his hand.
As he was talking, Li Yunsheng moved the hook and pulled up a large crucian carp.
"Ah! I caught it!"
Jiang Lingxue shouted excitedly.
However, Li Yunsheng threw the crucian carp back into the water without saying a word.
"Why did you throw it back?"
Jiang Lingxue looked puzzled.
"This is not the fish I want to catch."
Li Yunsheng said a little disappointed.
"Then what fish are you going to catch?"
"Red Leaf."
"Red Leaves?" Jiang Lingxue was a little surprised. The Red Leaves Fish Fairy Palace is very famous. It is recorded in the Ten Prefectures Zhiling Beasts. Eating red leaves can benefit qi and prolong life. As far as Jiang Lingxue knows, the effectiveness of a red leaf is no less than eating a month's immortal grain for cultivators. It is rumored that there are indeed red leaves in Zhongqi Moon Lake, but unless you have good luck, you rarely catch them.
Red leaves are perfect spiritual objects, and with spiritual fish hooks, they will not work for them.
"Little, junior brother... I'm sorry, you can't catch red leaves like this."
Looking at Li Yunsheng's appearance, Jiang Lingxue felt a little worried.
"Sister sister, don't worry, I'm ready,"
As he said that, Li Yunsheng handed Jiang Lingxue a gourd: "I made wolfberry, red date, black chicken soup, and drink some to warm up."
Jiang Lingxue took the gourd and found a warm-insulating ink talisman sticking it on it.
She unceremoniously unveiled the plug, and was surprised to find a heat coming out. She poured a small bowl and took a sip. A warm current of comfort that was indescribable in winter instantly surged throughout her body, as if all the cold evil accumulated in her body was driven out of her body.
She was very moved by drinking a bowl of ordinary black chicken soup.
"It's really delicious!"
Jiang Lingxue smiled and held the bowl.
"What do you mean when you say you are prepared?"
She was a little curious.
"Although this red leaf is spiritual, I have long seen that my hook is a trap, but he is jealous by nature. I fish here for six consecutive days, and then I catch fish for six consecutive days and put it back. The fish around me have all the benefits of eating the bait. My bait is made of mixed with fairy grain flour. It will definitely not be willing to not be able to eat it by itself, so as long as I continue to wait, it will definitely take the bait."
"You have been here for six days?"
It was so cold that Jiang Lingxue was waiting for six consecutive days by the wet and cold lake for six consecutive days.
Li Yunsheng didn't say anything, but continued to stare at the fish hook with a focused expression.
I don’t know if it was infected by Li Yunsheng’s serious expression, and Jiang Lingxue stopped talking.
Jiang Lingxue took a sip of the steaming soup in the bowl from time to time, looked at Li Yunsheng from time to time, and looked at the calm water surface from time to time, and didn't think about anything in his mind, but he felt very quiet, and he didn't have to think about practicing, elixirs, or the marriage arranged by his grandfather.
"So, watching fishing...is also fun."
Jiang Lingxue, who was squatting next to Li Yunsheng, suddenly looked at the water and laughed quietly.
It was noon before time knew it, and the fog on the lake had dissipated. Jiang Lingxue didn't know how many hours had passed, but she didn't feel impatient at all. She quietly watched Li Yunsheng catch a fish and then put it off, then put the bait and put down the fishing rod.
According to common sense, it is impossible to use this stupid method to catch red leaf fish, but when Jiang Lingxue saw Li Yunsheng's expression of being arrogant and impatient, he suddenly felt that as long as he persisted, he would definitely take the hook.
"Red, red..."
At this moment, in the clear pool water, a bright red swayed hesitantly beside Li Yunsheng's hook.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Lingxue almost screamed with excitement, but fortunately she held it back. On the contrary, Li Yunsheng was still motionless, looking at the float of the fish hook with a calm expression, without any emotion.
"This young brother is so irritating."
Jiang Lingxue suddenly blushed at her actions just now.
Finally, after hesitating for a while, Hongye still bit the hook.
Li Yunsheng was still looking at him expressionlessly until Hongye completely ate the hook and began to greedily want to eat the bait in one bite, then he lifted the fishing rod.
A red leaf that was red all over the body was pulled out by Li Yunsheng from the water surface, and then was put into the fish basket by Li Yunsheng.
"This is Hongye. This is the first time I have seen you so old. Junior brother, you are so awesome!"
Jiang Lingxue seemed very excited. She was not praising and flattering her, but she felt from the bottom of her heart that Li Yunsheng was amazing. Not only did she understand the nature of Hongye, she could also sit motionless by the cold lake for seven consecutive days waiting for Hongye to take the bait. This kind of patience and perseverance was not something that ordinary people could do.
"I just used a stupid method. No one can do it or not."
Li Yunsheng scratched his head embarrassedly, then put away the bamboo basket and prepared to go home.
"Senior sister, it's already noon. Do you want to go home for dinner with me?"
"Go back to have a meal?"
"I haven't thanked you well before. Today you have fished with me again. If you don't dislike me, go to my house for a meal."
"Go home to have dinner with you?" Jiang Lingxue's face became hot, and she was a little hesitant, but she nodded immediately and said:
"Then, then I'm welcome..."
Her face was flushed and her voice was as low as a mosquito.
