I tiptoed to the ground and quietly came to the door like a shameful thief. I looked out through the crack in the door.
We live in a courtyard house in the backyard of Yaqing Temple. I live in the west wing, the old priest lives in the main wing, and the east wing is temporarily empty.
The entire courtyard was dark without a trace of light. The old priest was probably already asleep. Cultivators had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and the old priest was no exception.
Actually, I can understand the phenomenon of cultivators going to bed early and getting up early. They have to go to bed early, and there's no electricity at night. I really can't think of anything else to do if they don't sleep.
I strained my eyes to see nothing unusual, and stretched my ears to hear nothing more.
Am I hallucinating?
It was highly possible.
I quietly lay back on the brick bed. It was dawn when I was half-asleep and half-awake. I didn't hear anything else during that time.
After breakfast, the old Daoist told me that today was not an auspicious day and that it was not easy for me to become a disciple. He told me to familiarize myself with the terrain in front of the mountain and behind the mountain.
Since there was no apprenticeship ceremony, I didn't have to call him master. I was happy to leisurely wander around the mountains.
On the left side of the Taoist temple was a small piece of land filled with trees and stones. There were radishes and cabbages planted in the ground.
I walked around the Taoist temple a few times, and the novelty passed. The autumn mountain had already begun to show signs of withering. Other than the red leaves of the maple trees, there was really nothing worth seeing.
I don't understand. The Taoist temple is located in such a remote place. There is no incense money. Who would come to such a remote place to pray to God and Buddha? Without a source of income, how can Haotian survive? Could it be that they were going to rely on this piece of barren land that was less than half an acre?
Moreover, he has a mouth like mine in the future. I have to take care of his meals.
I only thought about it for a minute before throwing it to the back of my mind. It seemed that the economic problems here were not my concern.
I found a mountain red tree, grabbed a few stalks of mountain red, and walked down the mountain.
When I came here, I remembered that there was a river at the intersection of the two mountains. The water was extremely clear and there were fish in it.
I want to go to the river to see how big the fish are and how many there are. This is for the future.
If I eat vegetarian every day in the future, this river will be the source of my life improvement.
I've already eaten two meals of rice porridge last night and this morning, and I'm choking on it.
I didn't plan to live with pickled vegetables every day, nor did I plan to be a Taoist priest for the rest of my life. As long as I learned how to subdue demons and devils, I would go down the mountain and go home. Therefore, I definitely couldn't be lacking in nutrition.
I went down the mountain and came to the river. Before I could see the fish in the river, I saw a little nun. It was the little nun behind Nun Man Yu yesterday.
The little nun was washing clothes by the river. Her small body was as thin as a willow branch.
However, I still felt happy. No matter what, I had a peer to keep me company. In the future, if I had nothing to do, I could chat with the little nun. It was also a way to relieve my boredom. As for doing something romantic with the little nun, I had never thought about it.
The river was only twenty feet wide. I squatted opposite the little nun.
"Hey! What's your name?"
My scream probably scared the little nun. She looked up at me in panic and the clothes in her hand fell into the water.
The little nun's face was unbelievably pale. Even if she was compared to those Caucasians in Western Europe, her face would definitely be dazzling. This seemed to be caused by a serious lack of nutrition.
The little nun hurriedly picked up the clothes from the water and threw them into the basin beside her. Then, she got up in a panic and left, as if she was jogging.
Damn it! It was as if I could molest her. She was so scared that I wouldn't even look at her if she was outside the mountain.
The little nun ran away, so I had to find the fish in the water to keep me company.
He didn't expect that there would be so many fish in this river. There were groups of them. There were Crucian Carps, willow roots, white drift, and catfish. The big ones were three to four inches long, and the small ones were countless.
These fish probably don't see many people in a year, so they're not afraid of people at all. They're probably full of curiosity and treat me as a novelty.
I squatted by the river, and these fish actually came close to me. I looked at them, and they looked at me in the water.
I threw a stone into the river and with a loud roar, they just ran to the side and then immediately turned back to the place where the stone fell into the water to investigate.
I was overjoyed. This river was my treasure, my food and clothing! With these fish, I definitely don't have to worry about becoming bean sprouts like that little nun.
In order to familiarize myself with the river, I walked downstream. I planned to explore the downstream first before going upstream.
I swam a few hundred meters downstream and found a pool by the river.
The pool was more than ten meters wide and was close to the river. It seemed that the river had turned around here in the past and washed out the pool. Later on, the river changed its course and left the pool here.
There was a faint mist floating on the surface of the water.
I came to the edge of the pool and stretched my head out to look into the pool. The water was dark green and bottomless.
I'm sure there's a big fish in this pond.
Perhaps it was to prove my judgment, but a few seconds after I came to a conclusion, a huge fish that was several feet long rushed out of the water with a splash. It jumped on the surface of the water and then fell back into the water with a splash. Even the white belly of the fish was seen by me.
I sat on the ground, not scared but shocked.
It's not surprising that there's a big fish here, but this fish is too big. This big fish is at least a hundred pounds. It's hard to believe that such a big fish can be raised in such a pond.
In a place with such a big fish, the water would be at least ten meters deep.
However, this pool shouldn't be more than ten meters deep. How deep was this pool?
I turned around and ran to a nearby mountain. I spent a lot of effort to pull down a straight decision-leaf poplar. After removing the branches and leaves, it was estimated to be more than five meters long.
I want to know how deep this pool is. As long as I can find out the approximate depth of the pool, I can estimate how deep the deepest part of the pool is.
I stood by the pool and poked the wooden pole into the water.
I can still reach the bottom of the pool when I'm one or two meters away from the shore, but I can't reach the bottom of the pool after two meters.
Why was it that he couldn't reach the bottom when he was only two meters away from the shore? Could it be that this pool went straight up and down?
I poked here and there, and suddenly the wooden pole seemed to have hit something and stopped moving.
I pulled the wooden pole left and right twice and felt that the thing seemed to move. I used the pole to pull it again. Gradually, the thing seemed to move even more. Finally, the object suddenly became light as if it floated up on its own.
Then, there was a splash on the surface of the water, and something surfaced.
I looked over and couldn't help but cry out.#
