At first, the village chief didn't want to violate the ancestral precepts and asked us why we wanted to go to Wawu Mountain?
You must know that they have lived here for many years, and they dare not go ashore to take a look.
Lao Jiang only replied: "We have a reason to go!"
"Those people will cause a catastrophe to Sichuan and Shu, and we must stop them."
"Tell me, do you agree or not?"
The village chief gritted his teeth and his eyes became resolute: "Okay, I agree!"
Long Wa obviously didn't believe in our abilities, and looked at us with suspicion: "Can you really restore the River God to his original state?"
"Haha, how can you know if it works if you don't try it." I spread my hands and replied.
It's not dark yet, so we plan to go explore the lake!
In order to solve the problem of the River God, we must first know what the River God is, and why does his temperament change drastically?
It's a pity that no one in the village has seen the River God with his own eyes. Only the fish flags passed down from generation to generation can give a glimpse of the River God's identity.
"Have you never seen the River God when you were fishing in the past?" I was very surprised.
Unexpectedly, everyone shook their heads: "Every time a huge black shadow appears on the bottom of the clear lake, we know that the River God is coming! Everyone only needs to open the net, and the River God will drive the fish and shrimp in by himself. So even if Novices who have never fished before will have a bumper harvest as long as the river god takes care of them..."
Gods can only be believed in devoutly, how can they dare to peep at them casually?
Every time the river god appears, they will turn their heads to avoid seeing the river god's true form and offending each other.
Such rules have been passed down from generation to generation, and they and the River God were fine until that uninvited guest appeared!
"Then what should we do? Do we have to jump into the lake to find the water god?" Ge Weihan touched the back of his head and looked at me.
Although I grew up in Leizhen, and the western Zhou Dynasty of Leizhen is full of water, no matter how good my water skills are, I would not dare to go into the lake rashly. If you were dragged away by the river god, wouldn't you regret it too much?
Yin Ling'er also waved her hands and backed away: "I'm good at going into the mountains, but not into the water."
Ge Weihan looked at Old Jiang again. After thinking for a moment, Old Jiang made a strange request to the village chief: "Help me prepare two roosters, a fishing rod, and two big iron hooks."
"Remember, the rooster must be raised for more than three years, and the harder the hook, the better."
"What do you want this for?" The village chief was puzzled.
Lao Jiang did not explain too much, but said seriously: "If you want to settle this matter, just do as I say!"
The village chief waved his hand, and Longwa and the others quickly went to borrow it.
When they came back, they were carrying two big red-crowned roosters. The roosters were still flapping their wings and clucking, looking extremely energetic.
That fishing rod is also very strong, and I don’t know what kind of wood it is made of.
Before leaving, Lao Jiang suddenly looked at me again: "Why did I forget you?"
After saying that, he took another fishing rod from the village chief's house without being polite at all, and then left.
When we went to Yanu Lake, Longwa and the others followed us secretly. I originally wanted to tell Lao Jiang.
Lao Jiang had discovered it a long time ago: "Let them follow! These people have been bitten by snakes for ten years and are afraid of well ropes. If we don't keep an eye on us, they won't rest assured."
After arriving at the lake, Lao Jiang opened a slit on the rooster's throat with a knife and was about to tie it to the fishing rod. Unexpectedly, the two roosters seemed to have a premonition of something and fluttered their feathers. He kept screaming in agony and stared at the sparkling lake in horror!
The closer to the water, the harder the struggle becomes.
It's like something is coming out there...
Lao Jiang calmly tied the chicken, pulled the line, threaded the hook, and handed the other fishing rod to me: "Here, take it."
I was stunned for a moment, took it over, and asked Lao Jiang what he wanted to do.
Lao Jiang showed a sly smile and said three words: "River Fishing God!"
I instantly understood that he wanted the River God to come to his door. Rooster blood is the most yang thing. For this fish that has become sperm, it can be smelled thousands of meters away, not to mention a hundred meters away.
I fished a lot when I was a kid, but this was my first time catching a river god, and I couldn't help but feel excited.
Yin Ling'er held her chin in her hands and stayed by my side with a novel look on her face, while Ge Weihan concentrated on taking notes: "Today, the great adventurer Ge Weihan passed by Yanu Lake and encountered the local rumors of water monsters..."
The two roosters were not completely dead yet. They kept spinning on the fishing line, and drops of scarlet blood fell into the lake. They were simply live bait!
The blood mixed into the lake water at a speed visible to the naked eye, spreading towards the center of the lake little by little.
Suddenly, I felt the pole in my hand sink, and a black shadow pushed away the waves from the water, grabbing the rooster's feet tightly.
With such great power, it is obviously no ordinary fish!
I gritted my teeth and refused to let go of the fishing rod. Bean-like sweat rolled down my forehead. This was all because of my exertion.
Let alone catching the other party, why do I feel like I am being dragged into the water?
Damn it, this is not fishing for the river god, it is clearly the river god who is fishing for me!
The whole chicken had been eaten. The hook tightened in the black shadow's mouth, and my figure was dragged harder. A shallow ravine was drawn under my feet. Yin Ling'er saw my crisis, He immediately jumped up and hugged my waist.
But I don't know how big this black shadow is?
Even if it’s the two of us, we still can’t fight.
"Help...help..." Time passed by, but Lao Jiang just watched from the side, ignoring my plea for help.
Just when I wanted to let go, Lao Jiang's eyes suddenly flashed with light. He suddenly held my fishing rod, took advantage of the moment when the black shadow lost its strength, and used all his strength to pull it back.
Suddenly the black shadow was completely pulled out of the lake!
Oh my god, this is actually a half-meter long catfish!
But I saw that it was covered with blue-black fish scales, and the fish scales were densely packed, as if it was wearing a heavy armor. Of course, the most terrifying thing is the head of this catfish. Its head is so huge that when the mouth is opened, it can be stretched to the position of the gills. At this moment, its sharp teeth were holding the cock tightly in its mouth, and its two long whiskers dipped in water were floating back and forth around its mouth.
It stared at us with red eyes, full of violent murderous intent, and wanted to bite us to death.
You must know that catfish are always docile and rarely attack humans. Why do they look more ferocious than piranhas?
Yin Ling'er exclaimed: "Is this the River God? I thought it was Sichuan-style fish head hot pot..."
I didn’t know how to answer her heartless words, so I immediately asked Yin Linger out of breath what was going on, had your Kamani tampered with it?
Yin Ling'er came to the river, dipped her fingers in the water of Yanu Lake and took a sip. Her two beautiful eyebrows immediately frowned: "The water has been poisoned. This is a secret before departure..."
"Before departure?" Ge Weihan and I looked at each other and asked, isn't this an ancient poem?
