Chapter 179: Journey to Xuanhuang Realm 18
The old man's eloquent talk made Lin Yixuan, who was trying to tease him, turn his head and look at the night sky~
"Don't worry~ I told you, you are my savior, I won't kill you, and those who kill people indiscriminately are all evil cultivators! Oh, by the way~ What do you think the Way of Heaven is?"
The old man shook his head.
"I am an old man, how can I know what the way of heaven is? I only know that people need to eat when they are hungry in order to survive. But when everyone is full, they will have many strange ideas and then do many incredible things. I didn't know why it was like this before, but later I found out that it is called desire~~"
"Desire? I get it! After all, you saved me, so I will agree to one of your requests~~"
After muttering to himself, Lin Yixuan said solemnly,
"Well, if that's the case, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, how about going fishing with an old man like me?"
Lin Yixuan frowned and asked,
"I have nothing to do tomorrow. I promised you a request. Even if you want some elixir, something to prolong your life, strengthen your body, or some gold and silver treasures, it's fine. Are you sure it's just a small matter of going fishing with you?"
Upon hearing this, the old man instantly changed from indifference to ecstasy.
"Maybe it's a small matter to you, but it's enough for me~~"
"Fine!"
Lin Yixuan shook his head helplessly.
The next morning,
Lin Yixuan opened the door, and the old man holding two fishing rods was already waiting outside the door. When he saw Lin Yixuan opening the door, his originally depressed mood was instantly swept away.
"Let's go. Lead the way."
Lin Yixuan said calmly,
The old man exclaimed happily, picked up his fishing gear and headed towards his secret place.
We climbed over the mountain where we were originally located, crossed a somewhat turbulent stream, walked down the stream, and entered the depths of the jungle.
The old man suddenly stopped.
"Here we are, right here."
Lin Yixuan frowned when he heard this, and after a careful investigation, he immediately understood what he meant.
Although no river can be seen here, the previous stream has already split into two. Now the underground river is right under your feet and it is not too deep.
The old man put down his fishing gear, hurried forward, and moved away the dead tree that was blocking the view. A pool of water appeared before his eyes.
"This is a secret place I discovered. Below the pool is a corner of the underground river. The fish here are much bigger than others!"
The old man explained excitedly, handing one of the fishing rods to Lin Yixuan.
"Master, can you fish?"
Lin Yixuan took the fishing rod and shook his head. (Although he knew how to fish, he had only fished a few times.)
As the old man prepared, he explained,
"Don't think fishing is simple. In fact, there are many things to pay attention to. For example, the location, time, and bait are all very important~"
Lin Yixuan followed the old man's steps and prepared.
"Oh~ what do you mean?"
The old man instantly perked up when he heard that. He found some fruits from the grass not far away and handed one to Lin Yixuan.
"There are many kinds of fish, and they like to eat different things. You see, the bait is the most important. The stream is so big, why are these fish willing to stay here? It's because there are things they like to eat here. Secondly, the fish's dormancy time is different from ours. We are affected by the sun and the moon, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Fish live in water, so they are naturally affected by the stream. They move when the water rises and stop when the water falls. Furthermore, the influence of location is also extremely important. If the fish is full, then unless your bait is tempting enough, the fish will not bite your bait~ So I chose such a place. This place has a big mouth, which is a good place for fish to eat, so many fish will gather here. Once there are too many fish, there will naturally not be enough food. Then our bait is equivalent to God-given food, and they will rush to eat it~"
Lin Yixuan nodded after hearing this.
(Indeed, even fishing has so many requirements. It seems that I really overlooked too many important things in the past~)
At the same time, in a hall of Shenlong Mansion.
"It's been over a month, haven't you found that guy yet?"
Long San said this with a frown, obviously unhappy.
"He was hit by my eldest brother. If he didn't die, he was seriously injured. Although the west is the territory of Baihu, the spiritual energy there is extremely thin, even negligible. It is impossible that he was not discovered. Is it possible that he was rescued by other guys~"
Long Wu analyzed,
Long San shook his head upon hearing this.
"Impossible. I used the Dragon Plate to measure that he has not been around for long. He has some relationship with the Phoenix Clan, but now they are all in trouble. He has fought with the foreigners, so it is even more impossible for them to save him~"
At this time, a man from the Dragon Clan flew in from outside the hall.
"Report~~ Chief, the people from the Divine Phoenix Clan have come again and have joined forces with the chief of the White Tiger Clan, saying that they must be punished today~"
Long San snorted coldly and looked at Long Wu who was standing aside.
"They don't know what's good for them~ They still want to confess!~ Long Wu, I'll leave the search for that guy to you. Don't always use such a tough attitude. Learn from the human race and give them some benefits occasionally. After all, those things are no different from garbage to us."
"Hmm~" Long Wu responded and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Long San turned around and looked at the dragon man who was half-kneeling on the ground.
"Since they want to explain, then let them explain. You, go and bring my rebellious son Zhentian here. Let's go and give those guys an explanation."
Shenlong Mansion, above the main hall.
"What are you two doing? People from the outside world are watching closely, you all know this,"
Long San said this, and then explained to Feng Yao, the leader of the Divine Phoenix Clan, with some apology.
"I never thought that this would happen to your little phoenix from the Divine Phoenix Clan. I can't do anything about it. If you want to blame someone, blame that outsider. It's his fault~ And look at this..."
As Long San spoke, he turned his gaze towards Zhentian, who was lying on the cold jade bed not far away from him.
Feng Yao looked at Zhen Tian lying on the cold jade bed, confirmed that he was indeed seriously injured and unconscious, frowned and asked
"I just want to know, what exactly happened?"
"Phoenix clan leader, you also know that although our clan's treasure can predict the secrets of heaven, that outsider does not belong to this world, so the secrets of heaven at that time were also obscured~ But I am sure that all of this must be related to that outsider. I calculated that the outsider is now ready to make a move, and it is estimated that it will not be long before they will launch a large-scale attack on our Xuanhuang Realm. We should focus on that outsider~"
Hearing this, Baihu snorted coldly.
"Long San, don't make your words sound so nice. Everyone knows what you have done! Also, don't think you can shirk your responsibility with just a few words. Your clan's most precious treasure is good at deducing the secrets of heaven. It is impossible for him not to have predicted the good or bad of Zhentian's trip. Moreover, although Zhentian was seriously injured, he has entered the tribulation period. We all know that such an opportunity is hard to come by. And you didn't tell us and acted secretly. Although we also believe that Xiaohuang was made like this by outsiders, you also have an unshirkable responsibility."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yao once again cast her divine sense over Zhen Tian. (This guy...)
Upon hearing this, Long San's face darkened and he thought for a while.
"Indeed, I also know that my clan has an unshirkable responsibility. Moreover, at this critical juncture, I have sent my men to carefully investigate the news. Now that we have some clues, I believe that it won't be long before I can give your clan justice."
Upon hearing this, Baihu nodded.
"Let's leave the matter of Xiao Huang at that for now! Both my side and Xuanwu's side have already made arrangements. We are just waiting for the right time to drive those outsiders out in one fell swoop."
Feng Yao understood that it would take time to investigate this matter, and now the most important thing was to do the business.
"I'm fine on my side, it depends on your dragon clan~"
Hearing this, Long San's expression became serious and he nodded.
"It will take me a little while, but it's almost there!"
Baihu heard this and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's fine, let's end today's matter here! I hope you can find that guy's whereabouts as soon as possible and give an explanation to the Phoenix Clan!"
Feng Yao nodded when she heard this, and then the two of them left the Shenlong Mansion together.
Long San looked coldly at the direction where the white tiger left. (This guy actually doesn't take me seriously. I am the leader of the dragon clan. If you are not older than me by so many years, it is still uncertain who is stronger and who is weaker. It seems that some things need to be done in advance!)
