Chapter 853: Fishing without bait (revised)
The fisherman turned his head and saw a man and a woman standing on the small dock next to him.
The man was handsome and elegant, and the woman's face was covered with a veil, so one couldn't tell what she looked like. But judging from her figure and clothes, she was definitely not comparable to an ordinary woman, at least a hundred times better than that yellow-faced woman in his family.
If an ordinary person had dared to stop him from going into the water, the fisherman would probably have started cursing.
But now, facing these two men and women who were obviously of high status, he suddenly felt that the courage he was usually proud of had been lost. He forced a smile on his face and said, "It's just playing with a child. It's not a big deal. Besides, if I don't scare her, how can she learn her lesson?"
He pointed to the deep green water and said, "If you get too excited and jump into the water to play, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it no matter how many lives you have."
"That does make some sense."
The man was naturally Rosen, and the woman next to him was Diana.
He looked at the fisherman and smiled, "But have you ever thought that if there really is a monster in the water, and you jump in, it will not just be a simple matter of scaring your daughter."
"Impossible!" The fisherman shook his head and laughed, "You two gentlemen must have just come here from somewhere else not long ago, right?"
"Why do you say that?" Rosen asked.
"You two are new here, so you don't know the details of our place. It's not surprising that you think there are monsters here."
The fisherman smiled and pointed around, saying, "You two nobles, you may not know that when our ancestors built the village here, they specially asked a Feng Shui master to take a look."
"At that time, he said that this place had excellent feng shui and was protected by gods. Ordinary monsters would not dare to approach it. It was the safest place and suitable for fishermen like us to live in. That's how the current fishing village came into being."
At this point, he chuckled and said with a bit of pride: "It has been 20 to 30 years since our village was built. Soldiers, bandits and thieves have all come here, but I have never seen this monster."
“So everyone in the village said that the Feng Shui master was really very capable, otherwise how could he have found such a safe place for us just by counting on his fingers.”
Rosen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, because he not only understood the Guiguzi secret technique, but also studied the sixteen-character Yin-Yang Feng Shui secret technique.
Even after becoming Uncle Nine's apprentice, he learned a lot about Feng Shui.
But no matter how you look at it, this place is not as good as the fisherman said.
This is indeed a place where winds are hidden and water is absorbed, but what is hidden here are evil winds, and what is absorbed here are disastrous waters.
At first, they might just encounter war, banditry or something like that, but after a long time, they will inevitably become food for monsters.
If he was told that this was the result of a Feng Shui consultation, Rosen would find it hard to believe it.
He immediately asked, "What is the name of this Feng Shui master you are talking about?"
"Yuan-Shou-Cheng."
Hearing the name, a playful smile suddenly appeared on Rosen's face.
This product is really too famous.
It is said that he is Yuan Tiangang's uncle, who opened the prelude to Journey to the West. However, as a monk, he didn't know where he went wrong.
If before Rosen was just wondering why the water monster had to appear here, now he is 100% sure that it has something to do with Yuan Shoucheng.
Perhaps he had already started planning when he suggested these fishermen to build a village and settle down here.
The fishermen and their families in front of us are obviously food prepared for the water monster, and they will also serve as the background when Chen Xuanzang makes his debut.
To be honest, this made Rosen feel very unhappy, and he immediately said: "Even if he really helped you find this Feng Shui treasure land, it can't guarantee that you will have peace forever. There were no monsters here to disturb you back then, and it doesn't mean there won't be any now."
"You..." The fisherman's face suddenly showed anger, but when he saw that Rosen was dressed elegantly, he knew that he was not someone he could afford to offend, so he could only suppress his anger.
"You don't believe it?" Rosen asked.
"I dare not." The fisherman shook his head quickly.
"Then you still don't believe it." Rosen said with a smile: "It just so happens that I came to your place today just to fish. Since you don't believe it, then just open your eyes and watch carefully later."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and took out an iron rod as thick as a goose egg and about ten meters long from the storage compartment.
At the end of the stick was tied a steel cable that was about the thickness of an adult's thumb and of unknown length.
Tied to the rope was a huge, sharp, four-clawed iron hook covered with barbs. It looked like it was intended to be used as a fishhook, so that no matter what fish was swallowed, it would not be able to spit it out.
When the fisherman saw Rosen casually take out a set of fishing rods, the hatred in his heart immediately disappeared.
After all, as long as you are not stupid, you will know that someone who can take things out of thin air must be no ordinary person, maybe he is the legendary god.
He just said there are monsters here, so... even if you don't believe it, there's no need to anger him.
The fisherman looked at the huge "fishing rod" and asked in amazement, "Sir, is this what you use to fish?"
"Yeah. How's that?"
“I’m afraid it won’t work.” The fisherman shook his head and said seriously, “There’s no bait.”
"Who said there isn't one?" Rosen smiled and grabbed casually, and a big fat pig covered in blood appeared in his hand.
He just hung the pig on the fishhook, and with a "whoosh" sound, the sharp hooks pierced deeply into the pork.
Then he stuffed seven or eight green asphyxiating gas potions into the pig's mouth, and handed the fishing rod to Diana, who had been watching quietly, and said, "Wife, hold it for me first."
Although the fishing rod was heavy, it was nothing to Diana. She held it firmly in her hand and said, "If I really catch the monster you mentioned, whose catch will it be?"
"Whoever catches it owns it." Rosen said with a smile. He grabbed the fat pig that was still dripping blood with one hand and casually threw it over a hundred meters away.
Whoosh whoosh.
The originally twisted steel cable was suddenly stretched taut and straightened. Fortunately, this end was held in Diana's hand. If it were someone else, they might have been pulled into the water along with the rod.
puff.
Water splashed everywhere and the fat pig fell into the water.
Thick blood then flowed out from the wound and quickly spread in the water.
"Hey, Liu Changgen, where are these two nobles from? What are they doing?"
……
The fishing village was not big, and many people had already noticed the commotion here.
After all, Rosen and Diana's clothes were too eye-catching.
Even though they all changed into clothes of this era, since they were not short of money, they naturally bought the best.
You can imagine how great the visual impact is when silk, satin, pearls and jade appear in such a poor little fishing village.
The fisherman named Liu Changgen immediately repeated to everyone what Rosen had just said.
Everyone immediately looked unhappy, and someone even said in a cold voice: "Even if he is a noble, he can't talk nonsense. When he wastes a fat pig and doesn't catch anything, I will laugh at him..."
Wow.
