Qinghe fights for the deer

On the second day, Xiqing, Lu Guiyue, Xishu, and Xiji bid farewell to Master Xuanjing and set off together.

Because of the quarrel the day before, Xiqing felt a little resentful, and she didn't want to ride the plantain fan with Xishu.Finding an excuse, he and Lu Guiyue galloped away on the Xuanyue Ice Wheel.

Xishu knew what Xiqing was thinking, she lost her composure yesterday, but today she has to ease the atmosphere, and don't do much to stop her, let her go.

Xiqing's foot is a divine weapon, and it flies at a speed of unparalleled speed, which is many times faster than the high-level magic weapon in the world. Even if Xishu has injected enough spiritual power, she still can't catch up with her, and can only follow her from a distance.

Xiqing and Lu Guiyue played and joked and laughed along the way, trying to feel at ease.In Xishu's eyes, all this became a heart-piercing knife.

Seeing Xishu whose face became more and more stiff, Xiji stood on the plantain fan without daring to say a word.

Soon the four of them arrived at the shore of the East China Sea.After some searching, they found the place where the catfish monster group was located.

Originally, Xi Ji objected to deal with the catfish demon group so soon, after all, Master was defeated by them.But Master Xuanjing said that Xuanyue Ice Wheel is an artifact to restrain all monsters in the world, and it should be easy to deal with catfish monsters.The four of them headed towards the East China Sea first.

At this time, the four of them were divided into two groups, ambush near the pond of the catfish demon group to observe the situation.

The pond is not too big, the seaside is mountainous, and the pond is surrounded by mountains on all sides.

The mountains are continuous and undulating, and the place where the aura is abundant in the mountains is right above this pond, where clouds and smoke have condensed, and at a glance, you can tell that it is a beautiful place, no wonder there are ghosts.It's a pity that it was polluted by the fragments of the wishing magic pestle, otherwise, in a few decades, a small patron saint might be able to emerge to keep everyone safe.

Xiqing and Lu Guiyue inspected the terrain on the south side of the pond. After looking for a long time, they didn't see a single monster. Seeing the sky darken, Lu Guiyue lost patience.

"These catfish monsters just hid in the water and were happy. We waited here for a long time in vain, but we didn't see anything. What are we waiting for? It's dark and it's not suitable to do it." Lu Guiyue muttered.

Xi Qing smiled and rubbed Lu Guiyue's upturned hair, and said: "I just came here today, of course I have to see if the situation is right, I definitely can't do anything today, why don't I go back and think about the plan first."

Lu Guiyue was so focused on showing off in front of Xiqing that she was gearing up for the whole day, but in the end she went back, patted the dust on her hands in frustration, stood up and said, "Okay~"

Xiqing knew about Lu Guiyue's petty emotions, but getting rid of demons was not a trivial matter, not to mention that Master was in their hands, so she couldn't be careless.He didn't speak at the moment, and took the initiative to take Lu Guiyue's hand.

Lu Guiyue pinched the white catkin in the palm of her hand, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, all petty emotions disappeared.

I was taken care of, alas!

Lu Guiyue thought in her heart, but couldn't restrain her elation.

The two found Xishu and Xiji, and the four returned to the fishing village together, where they found a fisherman's house to rest.The fishermen heard that they were Taoists who came to deal with the catfish demon, and they were all very handsome, so they happily kept them to stay.

Xi Qing sat at the table and chatted with the fisherman: "When did this catfish demon appear? When does it usually come out to make trouble?"

The fisherman was sitting on a low stool by the door, while collecting his fishing net, he said: "It won't be long, just a few years! It's strange to say that in the early years, it was said that there would be carp in the pond to bless the people nearby. I was very happy, and went up to the mountain to worship. Later, our village has been in good weather for several years, and the pond has become a holy place in the village. No matter what happens, everyone likes to go to the small temple by the pond to calculate. up!

I don’t know from which day, suddenly there was a heavy rainstorm on the mountain, and the water in the pond overflowed, almost flooding the village. Later, when the weather cleared, everyone went to the mountain to see that the mountain became a mess, and the small temple was also washed away. destroyed.

Everyone said that they were dishonest recently, and Master Carp got angry.He quickly repaired the small temple and went to worship again.Unexpectedly, on the day of worship, such a big catfish jumped out of the pond, with a fish head and a human body, and it could walk on land, which scared me to death!After that, no one dared to go there anymore. "

"So that's the case." Xi Qing nodded, it seems that the catfish demon was possessed by the fragments of the wishing magic pestle, and his skill was greatly enhanced.

"Old man, we are all from inland, and we are not familiar with the seaside, and we are not familiar with the things in these waters." Lu Guiyue stepped forward to help the fisherman pick up the net diligently, never dislike the fishy smell on the fishing net, enthusiastic He asked, "What is the habit of this catfish? Why didn't we see them come out after waiting in the mountains for a long time today."

The fisherman proudly said: "Of course you girls in the inland don't know about these things! Catfish like to burrow in the dirty mud. Wherever there is mud, they go there, and they go deep. ! If you meet a big one and don’t have the strength to handle it, even a girl can’t drag it in the water!”

Lu Guiyue smiled and said: "Oh, so there are still these sayings, old man, you really know a lot!"

The fisherman who was praised by Lu Guiyue was even more proud. He told the four people about the habits of the catfish like pouring beans: "What is this? Anyone who works with water knows it! When it comes out for activities, it likes to come out at night. Its ears are still good, and it will run away as soon as someone approaches. But they are also greedy guys. If there is meat bait, they can catch a lot during the day."

Xiqing and Lu Guiyue looked at each other and exchanged glances, knowing what the other was thinking.Lu Guiyue smiled and asked: "Old man, what is this meat bait?"

"Meat bait is to use duck gizzards, loach, and the meat that these people eat as bait for catfish. The catfish still has to pick fresh duck gizzards and loach that are less than two inches long, so that they can be baited." Hook out their gluttons."

After listening to what the fisherman said, Xiqing had a plan in mind.After the fisherman went to the kitchen to cook, she first asked Xishu and Xiji, "About the fight against the catfish monsters this time, do the fourth and eighth senior sisters have any ideas?"

The smell of the sea was strong, especially in the old fisherman's house. Xishu and Xiji had already been smoky from the smoke, and they wanted to run out to catch their breath.The table and chairs were dirty, and Xishu felt uncomfortable sitting there, so she didn't care to listen to what the fisherman said, so she said, "I don't have any ideas, Xiaojiu, make up your mind!"

"In that case, let me tell you what I think." Xi Qing said.In fact, she was not used to the smell and filth in the house, but seeing Lu Guiyue calmly in it, she actually felt that it was not so unbearable.

"My idea is that since catfish monsters are catfish demons, they must still retain the habits of catfish. It's hot at noon, and they are not very active. It will be easier to kill them if they are tricked out with meat bait."

"But there is one thing," Lu Guiyue said, "you have to hide it carefully, so that they can't find it, otherwise they will flee back and we will scare the snake. It will be difficult to do it next time."

"Yes, so we have to set up an enchantment to prevent them from going back the moment they appear."

"The enchantment is too big, it's probably not easy to make, and its effectiveness will be greatly reduced. If one or two escape back, it will be very difficult to catch the fish that slipped through the net."

"So if we can use bait to lure them in one place and catch them all in one go, we can save a lot of effort."

"The amount of meat bait must be large, very large, enough to attract all the catfish demons in the pond."

"It makes sense, I'll go discuss it with the old man." Lu Guiyue turned around and left.

"I'll go with you." Xiqing caught up with Lu Guiyue, and walked together holding her arm.

Seeing Xiqing and Lu Guiyue talking to each other and being intimate, Xishu's heart was overwhelmed.Xiaojiu is no longer the child who only followed me and listened to my orders. She has someone who has a better understanding, and she only has this person in her eyes.

Xishu felt suffocated and walked out of the room without saying a word.

The light in the house is not good, but it is still bright outside.Xishu paced towards the shore.

There was a vast coast ahead, and when I turned around, Xiqing and Lu Guiyue surrounded the fisherman, asking questions, talking and laughing intermittently.

I seem to be an outsider already.

Xishu felt a burst of desolation in his heart.She turned her head and stopped looking at Xiqing and Lu Guiyue.

"Fourth Senior Sister." Xi Ji appeared next to Xi Shu at some unknown time, and Xi Shu asked softly, "Why are you here?"

This was Xishu's rare moment of tenderness during this period of time, and Xiji cherished it very much. She didn't want to spoil the atmosphere, but she had to.

"The smell in the house is bad."

"I think so too, so come out for a walk."

"Fourth Senior Sister, some rooms clearly know that the smell is not good, so why bother to stay inside?"

Xishu glanced at her, she knew what Xiji was talking about, but she didn't answer.

"Not only does the room smell bad, but the light is also dark. The longer you stay, the more uncomfortable you will be. Why don't you come out and see how comfortable the wind is outside, how blue the sea is, and how bright the sky is!"

A gust of sea breeze blew by, bringing a bit of saltiness, Xishu looked at the sea in front of him, and felt a little loose in his heart.

At this time, a tiny hermit crab crawled out of the sand, and hurried back, as if someone would take its precious house while it was away from home.

If the little hermit crab's house is really robbed, will it go all out to get it back?Or go to the next one without looking back? Xishu asked in her heart.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and clenched her fists. I don't know what the hermit crab will do, but I will never let go easily!
