Chapter 212 Forced

“…”

“…”

“…”

After hearing this, the others were silent, and the atmosphere became heavy.

Finally, it was Li Feihong who took the lead and said, “Since the senior insists on doing so, I can only ask for your advice.”

After saying that, he flew up from the boat, unsheathed his sword, and although there was no three-foot sword energy, it was sharp and pointed, and he went straight to the old man who was fishing on the boat.

As he said before, the matter of the spiritual fish in Wuze Lake was of great importance. It was not the private interests of his family, but the common interests of the major forces in the three prefectures of Wuze, and there was also a share of the court.

As the local snake of Jiangning Prefecture, the Li family accounted for a lot of shares. When encountering things, they naturally had to stand in front and carry the banner, otherwise how could they convince the public.

Therefore, even though he knew that his opponent was extraordinary, Li Feihong had to bite the bullet and give it a try.

He tried his best in one try, and Feihong took out the sheath, which was really as fast as lightning.

However…

At the bow of the black-sailed boat, the fisherman did not move, still sitting and fishing, and only touched the fishing rod in his hand.

The fishing rod was about 18 feet long, thin at the top and thick at the bottom, with a fishing line attached. It was not suitable for being a weapon.

However, in his hand, it was like a spear or a sword, and he stabbed with a light touch...

"Bang!"

With a clang, the fire splashed, and Li Feihong turned over and landed on the boat, causing the boat to sink. The water waves swayed, and he retreated several steps from the middle of the boat to the stern, and then he barely stopped the force and did not fall into the lake.

Even so, his face was still horrified, and the hand holding the sword was shaking.

One move, just one move, broke his proud Feihong sword.

Not only was there a gap in sword techniques, but also a crushing of basic strength.

During the contact and collision, the opponent's explosive power completely crushed him.

If it was a heavy weapon such as a spear or a halberd, such power would be understandable.

But this fishing rod, a fishing rod with a thin front section like a whip, could actually burst out with such power.

That can only mean...

Li Feihong's face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The cold night wind blew, and he was awakened by the shock.

"Senior's martial arts are superb, and I can't match you!"

"Please forgive me for the offense!"

"Goodbye!"

After saying that, he bowed his hands, exerted force on his feet, and the boat retreated quickly.

"..."

"..."

"Goodbye!"

Seeing this, the rest of the people were silent for a while, and then they all moved together.

It came quickly and retreated quickly. In a blink of an eye, several bright lights disappeared into the darkness.

However...

Just as several people retreated, they saw a fiery red light in the darkness.

A red light, as blazing as fire, flew over fiercely and arrived in the middle of the field in a blink of an eye.

"Li Suhong of the Li family, I will learn from your high skills."

The red light swept over, and a delicate voice shouted, revealing a figure, which was stunning.

"Magic power?"

"Cultivator?"

Xu Yang's eyes condensed, his expression unchanged, the fishing rod in his hand whipped like a whip, and hit the opponent's sword light directly.

"Bang!!!"

Although it was straight, there was no way to avoid it. The tip of the green bamboo hit the tip of the Bailian sword, and a phantom turned up in the flames, and another sword was cut out.

However, she was fast, and the opponent was faster.

As soon as the sword energy came out, the fishing rod, which was whipped like a whip, stabbed straight forward again. The slender green bamboo tip like a spear was like a sword, and it flashed in an instant, breaking the sword energy and hitting the opponent's body.

"Puff!"

A muffled sound, blood splashed.

Li Suhong groaned, then turned over and turned back, turning into a sword light and flew away.

"I've learned your lesson!"

It came and went in a hurry, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Xu Yang smiled, did not chase, and took back the fishing rod to continue fishing.

"..."

Not far away, Ah Qing, who was stunned, woke up and looked at the fisherman who was fishing again. He didn't dare to disturb him. He rowed the boat tremblingly and left this place of trouble.

On the other side...

"Bang!"

The red light was like fire, and it swept back and landed on the brightly lit boat, revealing a beautiful figure.

It was Li Suhong.

"Miss!"

"How is it?"

As soon as Li Suhong landed, everyone surrounded her and asked nervously and concernedly.

"This person is unfathomable. Don't move rashly. Let him be for now!"

Li Suhong threw down a word, and although she didn't care about everyone's eyes, she left with a cold face.

"This..."

The rest of the people looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

But this had nothing to do with Li Suhong. At this moment, she didn't care about these things at all.

She hurried back to the room, closed the doors and windows with her backhand, and then fell to the ground, panting continuously.

"Hey, hey...!"

While panting, she tore open her clothes and exposed her upper body skin.

I saw a bloody wound on the smooth jade-like shoulder.

The bloody sword-shaped, hidden and sharp, in the bright red flesh, a large number of granulation cells were pulsating, trying to entangle and combine to solidify the wound, but they were suppressed by the sharp sword energy, and the granulation cells bleed and wriggled into a ball, looking like they had life.

"Oh, oh!"

Li Suhong panted for a while, propped up his body, looked at the horrible wound on his shoulder, with some hesitation in his eyes, but finally gritted his teeth and took out a jade bottle from his arms.

The jade bottle was green and of extraordinary quality. After removing the cork, a strange fragrance came out.

Li Suhong poured it out, and a bright yellow pill like jade rolled out.

Looking at the pill in his hand, Li Suhong's eyes flashed with disgust and resistance, but in the end he closed his eyes, raised his head and put it into his mouth and swallowed it.

"Gulu!"

Once the elixir enters the abdomen, it will take effect and most of the demonic disturbances will be eliminated immediately.

Li Suhong sat upright and activated her magic power. The sword wound on her left shoulder immediately glowed red like fire.

In the red fire, the sword energy gradually disappeared, and a large number of flesh sprouts sprouted out, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The horrific sword wound that almost penetrated the shoulder blade recovered as before in the blink of an eye, and there was no more scars on the beauty's jade shoulder.

However……

"Ouch!!!"

Li Suhong opened her eyes, her chest heaved, and she couldn't sit still anymore. She threw herself on the ground and retched, then she covered her face and let out a weird laugh, which turned into sobs in the blink of an eye.

…

"Demon fish?"

"Demon cultivator?"

"No, no, no, that's it, it's not really a demon!"

"Their foundation is still the soul of heaven and earth. Demonic energy is not material, but negative and filthy."

"They can only be regarded as monster beasts and cultivators whose demonization is incomplete."

"They also know the harm of demonic energy, so they have been trying to find ways to reduce the influence of demonic energy."

"This spiritual fish is one of them. If the demonic energy in the heaven and earth Yuanling is used as a benchmark, the demonic content in a portion of the heaven and earth Yuanling is 100%, then the demonic content of monsters such as the black forked fish is 100%. Seventy percent, and these spiritual fish are fifty percent, or even thirty-two percent..."

"If nothing else, the Spirit Fish King should be a pure spiritual beast. Not only is it not contaminated by demonic energy, it can also reversely eliminate demonic energy. Therefore, it is of immeasurable value to cultivators in this world."

"Although this world is eroded by demonic energy, the heaven and earth are infinitely created, and there is life in desperate situations. This Spirit Fish King is where the life is, the means of self-purification for this world, and the life-saving straw for those demon cultivators."

"This world has not completely fallen into the hands of demons?"

"But what's going on with that demon at the level of a god? Can a cultivator polluted by demonic energy in this world be able to become a god without falling into the demon path, so that he can compete with the other party?"

"..."

On the awning boat, Xu Yang was sorting out information while fishing.

In the past month, apart from practicing, his main job has been to collect information and study the so-called spiritual fish that appear in Wuze Lake.

Although I was still confused at the end of the explanation, I also got a lot of important information, including the characteristics of cultivators in this world.

Demonic influence!

Demonic energy, demonic nature, filth and pollution are unavoidable problems for cultivators in this world.

Not only cultivation, but also recovery. Cultivators also need to absorb the essence of heaven and earth to recover.

so……

"Cultivators in this world should cultivate their physical bodies more, draw nutrients from food with less evil energy and less pollution, and restore their vitality."

"The few warriors in the martial arts world before were purely external martial artists. They fought with others with their physical bodies. They had no real energy and energy. The most they used was light and dark energy. Although their combat power was not strong, their consumption was relatively small."

"Only the later woman, who has fire spiritual roots and practices magic power, is a Yuanling cultivator."

"The mental state of this type of cultivator..."

Xu Yang shook his head, lowered his gaze, looked at the unconscious black fish in the fish cabin, and murmured: "Beast nature is worse than human nature, and human nature is worse than animal nature!"

After saying that, the fishing rod moved, and another spiritual fish took the bait.

Not surprised, Xu Yang put the fish into the basket, hung up a piece of fish meat as bait, and threw the rod again for fishing.

Although he is an experienced fisherman, when it comes to fishing, technology has always been secondary. The main thing depends on resources and bait.

Needless to say about resources, there are fish everywhere in Wuze Lake. Failure to catch them is your problem, not the lake’s.

Therefore, the focus is on this bait.

After a month of fieldwork, Xu Yang discovered a bait that was very popular with spiritual fish.

That's meat, black forked fish meat!

But it can’t be ordinary blackfish meat. It has to be washed with mana and thunder to eliminate the evil spirit and filth in it. Only after such purification can the blackfish meat be very popular with spiritual fish, and it will even attract other blackfish from the same species. .

To be honest, using such bait for fishing is not worth the gain.

After all, the purpose of cultivators in this world to catch spiritual fish is to increase the absorption of spiritual energy and reduce the pollution of evil energy by eating spiritual fish.

If mana is expended to make such bait, the spiritual energy obtained from eating the spiritual fish may not be enough to consume the bait.

If the gain outweighs the loss, I won’t do it.

But Xu Yang is different. He can effectively refine demonic energy and doesn't care much about mana consumption.

In addition, he did not catch this spiritual fish to eat, but to raise it.

The demonized ones are not mature enough, but the spiritual ones can always be matured, right?

Either way, give it a try.

Therefore, Xu Yang started his spiritual fish fishing business.

…

The next day, early in the morning, frost and fog began to rise, and smoke spread across the sky.

The weather has become even colder, but there are still many fishing boats, braving the cold wind, entering the lake to set nets.

When will the tide of spiritual fish end?

No one knows, so we can’t slack off and fish with all our strength every day.

The same is true for Ah Qing. Although he was very sleepy after staying up all night last night, he still had to work hard to get out of the boat.

"It's frosty!"

Looking at Wuze Lake with thick frost, fog and sea of ​​smoke, Ah Qing shivered and had to take off the gourd from his waist and take another sip of strong wine to warm up.

Jiangning Mansion is located in the south, where snow rarely falls, but frost does occur during extremely cold weather.

By this time in previous years, most fishermen have stopped their boats to dry their nets in preparation for the winter.

But this year...

"The ship is still going out!"

"Rice is more expensive, salt is more expensive, everything is more expensive."

"Only the warm-up wine is cheaper, but the prices of other fish are also extremely low."

"The Flying Tigers sealed off the lake and moved many fishermen from other places. Everyone needs food and drink to survive, but they are raising the price like this. It's clear that they are forcing people to catch spiritual fish for them!"

"How can we catch them in this weather?"

Thinking back to the changes in the fish market in recent times, Ah Qing gritted his teeth and started to cast the net.

The water in Wuze is deep and there are many big fish, but spiritual fish are not necessarily big fish. On the contrary, many spiritual fish are small in size.

Small fish are difficult to catch, and with the big fish making trouble, it is even more difficult. In the end, the fishermen have to go into the water to catch them.

But in this weather, can the water be lowered at will?

But what if it is not lowered?

The Flying Tigers have a rule. Although they don't force the fishermen to go out with a knife, the price of rice and salt is rising, almost changing every day, but the price of fish is getting lower and lower. Except for spiritual fish, all other fish can't be sold at a high price. The big fish and good fish that were popular in the past can only be discarded at a low price.

Now, many fishermen would rather prepare their own meals than waste their energy to sell them in the market.

But people cannot only eat fish, they also need firewood, rice, oil and salt.

So, even if it is freezing cold, the boat still has to go out.

She was still lucky. She caught a spiritual fish yesterday, which was enough to sustain for a while.

Those who were poor and did not catch spiritual fish were miserable. They not only had to go out on the boat, but also had to go into the water.

"Huh!"

Another gust of north wind blew, making Ah Qing shiver.

"No, I have to buy more wine later, otherwise I can't bear this weather at all."

Ah Qing gritted his teeth and began to collect the net. As expected, there was no spiritual fish.

Seeing this, Ah Qing could only sigh, collect the wet fishing net, and turn to the fish market pier.

Along the way, he met many fishing boats, including some familiar fishermen, but few of them greeted him.

Silence, silence, all silence.

Depression gradually turned into despair.

"The price of rice has risen again!"

"Salt is the same, it has risen by 30%!"

"Damn the Flying Tiger Gang!"

"Are you trying to force people to death?"

"The old Li family went into the water last night and died this morning."

"A Guang and his friends encountered the Black Night Demon last night, and only one of the three brothers came back."

"Jiangzhou Prefecture, Ningzhou Prefecture, and our Jiangning Prefecture have all blocked the road and won't let us go at all."

In just a few days, the atmosphere of the fish market has changed drastically.

A Qing didn't dare to say much, and went to the medicine shop first, but found the door closed.

Obviously, the "Doctor Mo" would not open the door today.

Helplessly, she could only purchase a batch of supplies and then hurriedly left the market.

She felt that the current fish market and the current Wuze Lake were like a furnace, and the fire inside was burning more and more vigorously, and it was already a little out of control, and she didn't know when it would explode.

It made people very uneasy.

But she couldn't do anything, so she could only stay away from it as much as possible.

At the same time...

"Master!"

"Master!"

Li Suhong led a group of people and welcomed a young Taoist into the hall.

This Taoist was very handsome, wearing a scarlet Taoist robe, which was as blazing as fire and quite eye-catching.

Li Suhong was in front, respectful and a little cold.

The group of people behind him were also hesitant to speak.

The young Taoist smiled when he saw this: "I already know the matter. This person and I are fellow Taoists. You are not opponents. Let him go for now. When the fish king is born, I will fight him again to settle the cause and effect."

"This... is it!"

Everyone heard this, although they had doubts, but they did not dare to say much, and could only respectfully agree.

The young Taoist also waved his hand: "Okay, you guys leave, I have something to say to Su Hong."

"Yes!"

Everyone secretly exchanged glances, then responded, bowed and retreated.

Li Suhong was left alone in the hall, without saying a word.

The young Taoist looked at his disciple and said directly with a chuckle: "How is the injury?"

"..."

Li Suhong said nothing and silently took off his clothes.

"Hmm~!"

Looking at Li Suhong's flawless jade shoulders, the young Taoist nodded: "With just one move, you were injured like this. This person must be a Qi Refiner. I just don't know which sect or school he is from?"

Li Suhong put on his clothes: "His sword energy is very sharp, and his magic power is even more pure. He is very powerful."

"Humph, so what if he is powerful?"

The young Taoist smiled and said coldly: "The ancestor of Daxing Mountain is about to condense the infant. The Daxing royal family is searching for demon-transforming spiritual objects for him all over the world. They are determined to get the spiritual fish king of Wuze Lake. Can he still compete with Daxing Mountain?"

Li Suhong nodded, with some hesitation in his eyes, looking at Zhu Yang and said: "Master, the weather is getting colder now , those mortals can't stand it, and they are already a little resentful. If they continue to force it like this..."

"What?"

The young Taoist looked at her and said, "You are a kind-hearted Bodhisattva, can't you help it?"

"No, it's not!"

Li Suhong shook his head and said, "It's just that I think this spiritual fish tide may last for more than one winter. If too many fishermen are killed or injured at this time, the subsequent fishing may be unfavorable. It is better to postpone it for a while until the spring..."

"Enter my immortal cultivation sect, and everyone in the world is a beast!"

The young man smiled grimly and looked at her coldly: "Do you understand?"

"..."

Li Suhong was silent for a while, then nodded: "I understand!"

"It's good to understand, it's good to understand... Hahaha! ! "
