C168 A Strange Old Man Who Was Fishing at the Side of the Canyon
Xiao Jian was riding a horse that he had bought casually. It was a forest horse that was a specialty of the jungle. It was a jujube red horse. According to the map that Xiao Wei had given him, he was rushing northeast.
He thought about Xiao Mei and the others. They should have arrived at the Heavenly Dragon Academy with the flying team. Sigh, I don't know how long I will need to run on the ground!
Running on the ground is far from being comparable to running on the ground. Flying in the sky! However, this was only a momentary sigh of emotion from Xiao Jian. After all, he had chosen to go to the Heavenly Dragon Academy alone, hoping to gain some experience. He wanted to increase his knowledge and disposition. If not, he might as well follow Teacher Qiao Yi and the fleet.
Xiao Jian had another guarantee, which was that he would have two more tricks up his sleeve if he did not have enough time. The first was that the Black could now glide in the air for a short period of time. There was also a strange beast. When necessary, the cloud could also transform into a flying Devil Beast that could carry him in the air.
Although the Devil Beasts that changed in the clouds and mist only had their form, not their spirit. However, most of them still had some abilities. Most of the abilities of the Devil Beasts still had some abilities. Flying in the air was, after all, faster than Xiao Jian running on the ground.
However, Xiao Jian would not use these two plans unless he was in a hurry.
From Dreamcloud City to the northeast, on the broad official road, there were continuous mountains and stone walls on both sides of the road.
Yunmeng's Mist Sea was also in the middle of the two mountains not far from the official road. Between the valleys, there was a gurgling sound as it rushed past. It was heading towards the Star Sea Region. It was like a child throwing himself into the embrace of his parents. His laughter was filled with happiness as it echoed throughout the entire journey.
As soon as they entered the canyon between the two mountains, they looked at the strange rocks that towered into the clouds and the pine needle trees that were still firmly rooted on the rocks. Xiao Jian's thoughts couldn't help but be pulled, and he flew towards the main road outside the Qingfeng City.
The valley between the two mountains was extremely similar to this place. There was also the beautiful woman in white who had a strong appearance, a soft heart, and an ethereal voice.
The first skin blind date, the scene of playing by the lake, one by one, flashed through his mind. It could not be denied that Xiao Jian liked that person who always wore a white dress. Qing Mengdia, who always wore a white dress and had a voice that could make people forget their worries, had a good impression of him. However, the revolution had not succeeded, so how could they talk about love?
When he thought of Qing Mengdia, he could not help but think of something important that he had forgotten about. Old Master Qing, one of the things that the elders of Qing family entrusted him with, was to take care of Qing Mengdia's younger sister, a strange elf girl, Qing Mengxin.
How dare Xiao Jian call her a little girl when she was almost the same age as Xiao Jian? Fortunately, she did not hear it herself, otherwise, Xiao Jian would have been tortured very badly by her. )
Just as Xiao Jian was lost in his thoughts, suddenly, the horse he was riding sank and became unstable. Xiao Jian's body directly fell down from the horse's back.
Xiao Jian immediately woke up and realized that the horse he was riding had already deviated from the main road. He walked into the forest and lowered his head to eat the grass in the forest.
It turned out that a low level Devil Beast green patterned flower snake had suddenly jumped out from the grass. It was frightened. Xiao Jian, who was in the air, struck the ground with his palm. A green force surged out violently, pushing Xiao Jian's falling body into the sky once again.
He stood in the sky with his right middle finger, index finger, and fingers together. He raised his hand and shot out sword Qi toward the green striped snake that was about to attack the red horse, directly cutting it into two.
The broken snake body was still in the forest, constantly twisting and rolling, and its tongue was still spitting out.
Xiao Jian raised his hand, and another finger sword shot towards the green patterned flower snake on the ground. It hit the snake head and directly exploded, turning into minced meat that filled the sky.
Xiao Jian let out a long sigh and placed one hand on his chest to calm his emotions. Looking at the snake corpse that could no longer be found, the nervousness on Xiao Jian's face disappeared. His expression eased up and he felt much more at ease.
Speaking up to this point, he had to say. . . Xiao Jian seemed to be fearless. But when he was a chef in his previous life, when he was an apprentice, I don't know how many creatures I've killed, all kinds of fish, He didn't list them one by one. Chicken, duck, goose, pufferfish and dragon snake, turtle, and frog. No matter how ugly he was, Xiao Jian was not afraid. The only thing he was afraid of the most was killing snakes.
Even if it was just a dead snake, even if he saw one on the road, it would be crushed by a car until it couldn't take shape. If Xiao Jian did not mind passing by, the moment he got closer, he would be so scared that he did not know how far he could jump.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Jian might even be able to win the long jump championship. He would not even dare to eat snake meat.
Once, a fellow disciple knew that Xiao Jian was afraid of snakes, so he joined the fire to tease Xiao Jian. A guest ordered a plate of salt and snake slices, and the fellow disciple specially sprinkled a lot of cumin powder and salt. Even the snake section was fried a little too old when the oil was over, so Xiao Jian could not tell.
This was because Xiao Jian's craftsmanship was even higher than his master's. Therefore, normally, when the dishes were served to customers, when the senior and junior brothers were not sure what to do, they would ask Xiao Jian to try them. Xiao Jian said OK, so the dishes would be served and served.
In the end, the senior and junior brothers told Xiao Jian that this was a plate of Pepper Salt Eel Duan, and Xiao Jian would have a taste. Xiao Jian took a look at the shape and told the junior brother to put less cumin powder in the future. If it did not affect the appearance, it would also ruin the taste of the eels. He just needed to sprinkle a little bit and cover the fishy smell of the Alxa section.
Xiao Jian picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. He tasted it and felt that the taste was not right! Why was the texture of the meat even more delicate! It was even more tender! It was not like the meat of an eel had a little spongy texture. Although it was tender, the texture was different.
Seeing Xiao Jian's expression was not right, the few brothers laughed in unison and asked, "Senior brother Xiao Jian. How's the taste of snake meat? Is it delicious?" After saying that, they ran away while laughing.
Xiao Jian had not eaten for the whole day, and he even threw up his breakfast. From then on, he would feel nauseous when he saw the eel.
Xiao Jian raised his eyes and walked around in the forest. It was almost afternoon, and he was a little hungry. He decided to look around in the forest. He wanted to see if there were any meat Devil Beasts that he wasn't afraid of.
Xiao Jian walked towards the southeast direction of the forest. At this moment, he heard a rumbling sound coming from the edge of the forest. Xiao Jian tied the red horse to a lush green tree and lifted his leg to walk towards the edge of the forest.2
After a few leaps, Xiao Jian felt that the light outside was getting brighter and brighter. The rumbling sounds were also becoming more and more rapid. Xiao Jian jumped out of the forest in a flash.
The view behind the forest was open and much brighter. Behind the forest, there was a bare stone wall. Under the stone wall, there was a seventy to eighty feet wide river. On the other side, there was also a tall and straight mountain. The river flowed between the two mountains. The river was very rapid.
However, from time to time, a fat fish could be seen swimming out of the water in the blue river. "Plop!" It drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the rapid river again.
Xiao Jian looked at the fat fish jumping out of the water from time to time. He couldn't help but miss the taste of the grilled fish!
Just as Xiao Jian was searching for the fat and beautiful fish that he could catch along the short cliff. . . A hearty laugh came from a stone wall that wasn't high from the surface of the water. The laughter was filled with unconcealed joy.
Xiao Jian was shocked at first. Why was there someone else here? He could not help but carefully head towards the source of the sound.
He saw an old man wearing a grey brocade robe. His sideburns were somewhat white, but they were combed very neatly. They were tied with a blue ribbon and were fixed behind him. He held a bamboo pole in his hand and was slowly pulling it up.
Looking at the taut fishing line and the slightly bent bamboo pole, Xiao Jian couldn't help but tremble. Could it be that there was someone else who was interested in fishing here? Xiao Jian couldn't help but carefully move towards that direction step by step.
Because Xiao Jian was also a fishing enthusiast, he knew that the most taboo thing about fishing was loud noises and sounds.
