Chapter 189

The man looked up at the cliff and raised the cane in his hand. Suddenly, he exhaled. The cane flew away and just caught the stone. Traceless blurted out, "uncle, good strength!"

The man smiled and said, "I haven't done this for many years. I thought I was old and frail. I'm afraid it's difficult to do it. Now it seems that the skills of the village Han have not been lost. "

Wuji was surprised. Throwing a cane at a height of more than ten feet can accurately catch a stone. This requires not only strong arm strength, wrist strength and waist strength, but also high accuracy. Ordinary people don't say it's very difficult to put a stone on it or throw it up.

The man's understatement was traceless and suspicious. The man stretched out his hand and pulled down the rattan bar and said, "it should be stable."

When talking, he tied the pine branches to his body, alternating his hands, and climbed up very healthily. No trace. After he went up, he rubbed his body.

They went up the cliff and suddenly felt the cold wind blowing on their faces. Without trace, I saw that there was indeed a dark hole, like the open mouth of a toad, and cold air gushed out of the hole.

The man pulled up the vines, stacked them on the stone platform and said, "you can't leave any traces. In case someone finds any traces, you won't think we'll go up to the cliff."

Traceless secretly admired his thoughtfulness. They bent down and entered the cave. The cave was dark and couldn't see five fingers. It was cold outside, but it was even colder when you entered the cave. It's like being in an ice cellar. You can use your internal power to keep out the cold without trace, so you don't feel so bitter anymore.

The man took down the pine branch, took out the fire sickle and lit it. With the fire shining and traceless, he suddenly found that the cave was so wide. Looking up, the icicles on the top of the cave hung upside down like a forest. Looking at the cave wall, it is smooth and shiny. Unexpectedly, it is also covered with a thick layer of solid ice. The foot is also a layer of solid ice. You can't skate enough. When the fire flashes, there are stars around, as if you were in a crystal palace, which is unspeakably gorgeous and magical.

If you don't come here, how can you feel the magic of creation in the world? The man turned with an iron fork and walked with a sword without trace. They walked inside carefully. The deeper the cave goes, the more it tilts downward, and the colder it becomes.

After walking for about a mile, there was a faint sound of dripping water in my ears. No trace was stunned and said, "it's so cold in this cave that there are still drops of water that can't turn into ice?"

The man said, "there are many miracles in all things in the world, and there is nothing strange that water does not turn into ice. If not, how can there be crystal golden carp in this cave? "

No trace is also a thought. Since it is a fish, it must live in the water and never survive in the ice.

Half a mile later, there was a clear sound of running water. The sound of running water was not loud, but it was very clear and pleasant in this quiet cave.

They held the burning pine branches and leaned forward, but they saw the sparkling water in front. Indeed, there was a stream flowing in the cave.

The stream flows out from under the stone wall into a small pool, then overflows from the pool and meanders to the depths of the cave.

The water is gurgling and clear in the light of the fire. I happened to see some small fish swimming in the stream.

No trace can't help sighing the magic of creation. In such a cold frozen cave, there will be a stream that is not frozen, and there are small fish in the stream.

The man held up the burning pine branch and probed into the pool. He said, "according to the legend of the elders, the Crystal Golden Carp lives in the stream. But that thing can't be found. They came several times before they met it once. However, when catching it, a person was accidentally caught in a fish bone and died soon after returning home. Since then, the crystal golden carp has also been known as the crystal magic fish. The cave has also become a forbidden area and is gradually forgotten by people. "

Traceless said, "it's so cold in the cave that you can't stay long. If you can't find the crystal golden carp, come back another day."

The man said, "let's look for it first. If it does exist, we'll try to catch it."

Holding torches bound by pine branches, they searched back and forth in the stream and found nothing. Traceless asked, "uncle, do you know what the Crystal Golden Carp looks like?"

"It is said that this kind of fish is very small, less than two fingers wide and less than three inches long. It is golden, but as transparent as crystal. There are a pair of tentacles on the lips. If you feel threatened, you will take the initiative to attack. If you are stabbed by its tentacles, you will be highly toxic. There is no medicine to solve it. "

Although Wuji knew that the crystal golden carp was highly poisonous, he was still surprised to hear the man say it again. He remembered again why worry free wanted him to catch such a "poisonous fish".

Although the pool is small and less than a foot wide, the fire shines on it, and the pool is quiet and can't see the bottom.

The man said, "if there is a crystal golden carp, it must be in this pool. This kind of fish likes to live in deep water. Except when they come out for food, they are underwater at other times“ No trace looked at the clear but bottomless pool and said in amazement, "how can you catch such a deep pool“ The man smiled, took down the bamboo basket behind him, grabbed something from the basket and said, "I'll try it“ Then he took out a web from the bamboo basket. The web is very strange and the mesh is very small. The whole web is like spider silk. It can't be grasped in one hand.

Without trace, he exclaimed, "uncle is ready“ The man said, "I'm not sure, but according to rumors, I think I can have a try. If I don't succeed, I can only find another way."

Traceless knows nothing about fishing skills and can only hope on men. I think he is skilled in fishing in the stream all year round. It's not difficult to catch a small fish.

When he saw clearly that the object in the man's hand was a small black-and-white snake, he grew up in Yaoxian valley. He had seen many poisonous snakes, and immediately recognized that it was a very poisonous Silver Ring snake.

The silver snake did not move. It seemed to have fallen asleep. It must have hibernated, so it was at its mercy.

The man said, "it's all up to it“

With a gentle toss, the little snake flew into the pool. Or because the pond was cold, the little snake twisted a few times and swam in the water.

The man held the net in both hands and opened the net. The originally calm pool fluctuated because of the swimming of the little snake. The two held their breath and looked at the swimming snake attentively.

When I was drinking tea, I suddenly saw a light Golden Shadow in the water, but it immediately disappeared.

Traceless whispered, "is that the crystal golden carp“

The man stared at the water and didn't speak. It was obvious that he was nervous.

After another moment, the little snake swam much slower and even swam towards the water. The man whispered, "stop it and don't let it run away“ The traceless long sword stabbed into the water. The little snake seemed surprised, turned back and swam back to the pool.

Suddenly, two golden shadows floated on the water and rushed towards the little snake faster than lightning. When the little snake twisted, it turned its head and opened its mouth to the Golden Shadow.

When the Golden Shadow touched the little snake at two o'clock, it was divided. Within the blink of an eye, it saw that the little snake turned over, with its white belly facing up and motionless.

Then, two golden shadows appeared again and surfaced, impressively two small fish that were golden all over but seemed as transparent as crystal.

”Crystal Golden Carp“ Traceless screamed in his heart, and then saw the two small fish swim to the dead snake, open their sharp mouths and bite.

It turned out that at that moment, the extremely poisonous Silver Ring snake was stabbed by the two small fish tentacles and killed immediately. At this time, it became the dish of Chinese food for the two fish, which was delicious in the stomach.

As soon as the man raised his hands, the fine net in his hands flew away and covered the pool. Then lift it slowly. When the fine net left the water, I really saw two small fish twisting and struggling in the net.

The man threw the net into the bamboo basket and said, "I'm lucky to catch a pair“ They felt the cold and embarrassment in the cave and hurried out. When he got to the mouth of de mountain, the man knocked down several pieces of solid ice with an iron fork and threw them into the bamboo basket. He said, "it is said that this kind of fish has strong vitality, but it can't be delayed too long. You can send it to your friend now“ They went out of the cave. It was already dark outside the cave. The mountain wind is not strong, but the snowflakes are obviously dense. Although the mountains are cold, they are much warmer than caves.

They went down the cliff and the man handed the bamboo basket. Traceless said: "if uncle didn't help me today, I wouldn't have caught the Crystal Golden Carp anyway. I'm really grateful“ The man was obviously very cold in the cave. His lips were dark purple. As soon as he came out of the cave, he trembled all over and knocked his teeth gently.

"If uncle is frozen with typhoid fever, how can he feel at ease without trace?"

The man said, "you're welcome, young Xia. When I go home later, I'll drop a jar of wine and nothing will happen. But you have to work hard, young Xia. Send the fish quickly. The dark road is slippery this day. You should be careful, young Xia. "

Think about it without trace. If you want this fish without worry, you must want something fresh. If you die, you'll be busy in vain?

He was no longer polite, hugged his fist and said goodbye: "take care, uncle. I'll finish my friend's trust and come and have a drink with uncle!"

After that, he took the bamboo basket on his back, led the little donkey, held the burning pine branch and went to Sizhou mountain.
