"Are all the people in Uncle Liu's village surnamed Liu?”Although the breakfast was simple, it was nothing to Liu Bian. Although the things in the palace were all delicacies, they were not peaceful. When he ate, he asked curiously. Uncle Liu heard this and said, "Not really. My ancestor's surname is Liu. Ever since I was sensible, I've been living here. I heard that my ancestor has long moved here.”
"The surname Liu is the imperial family. Could it be that their ancestors are related to the imperial family?”Liu Bian asked out of curiosity. In the Eastern Han, there were quite a few people with the surname Liu, and there were even more who were related to the Han Dynasty. Some of them were vassals, while others might have fallen to the status of commoners. This place was not far from Luoyang, but he did not know if it had anything to do with the royal family. Uncle Liu was terrified when he heard this. "Young Master, you must be joking. I'm waiting in a remote mountain village. How would I dare to mention it to the royal family? As for whether my ancestors are here or not, I don't know!”
"I misspoke." Liu Bian knew that in this era, there were some things that couldn't be said carelessly. Although he was the Emperor, the other party didn't know his identity. The other party seemed to see that his identity was extraordinary, so he didn't deliberately ask for his name. Liu Bian also didn't want to reveal his identity, so the other party didn't ask, so he didn't respond. When Uncle Liu heard Liu Bian say that, he seemed to be in a hurry to leave. "Young Master, please enjoy your meal. This old man still has work to do, so I'll leave first. If Young Master doesn't mind, you can stay here for a few more days.”
Seeing Uncle Liu leave, Liu Bian did not stop him. After breakfast, he ordered the 18 riders to stay behind and left the thatched cottage with Gui Ying and Dian Wei. Walking around the village, he couldn't help but sigh. This was the world from a thousand years ago after all. The scenery and air were excellent, making people feel relaxed and happy. After walking for a while, they saw a tea shed not far away. He went to find a place to drink tea with Gui Ying and Dian Wei. The tea shed was only managed by a middle-aged man. He also knew that these were the people who had come to stay the night yesterday. He knew that their identities were extraordinary and did not neglect them.
"San Lang is fishing for dragons again today!" Sitting in the tea shed and drinking tea, they heard people chatting. Liu Bian and the other two were martial artists, so they could hear clearly. When Gui Ying heard it, a strange expression appeared on her face. Before he could say anything, the other person who was chatting spoke again. "Haha! This San Lang was really something. That dragon was a legendary thing. Not to mention that he had never seen it before, even if there was one, how could anyone catch it?”
"That's right!" Another person said. Gui Ying, who was sitting beside Liu Bian, said. "Young Master, Guiying has been cultivating outside with Master for many years. Although she has heard of dragons, she has never seen them before. She has only seen them in books.”
"Haha! This is the first time I've heard of anything strange in this world.”Liu Bian was the same. He had heard of Jiang Taigong fishing before, but this was the first time he heard of dragon fishing. Actually, Gui Ying was thinking that dragons were divine creatures. How could they be fished up by annoying people? If there really was a dragon in this world, it could only be the true dragon, the Son of Heaven! However, Liu Bian was different. He did not know if there were dragons, but he was not sure if there were none. After all, there were things like the system, so it was not strange for dragons to exist.
"Guests, is there enough tea?”The owner of the teahouse came forward with a teapot and asked carefully. He knew that this was a big shot that Uncle Liu was entertaining, so he was especially careful not to bring it over. After Liu Bian heard this, he knew that the other party was worried that the reception would not be good, so he kindly opened his mouth and said. "That's enough. Uncle, you don't have to worry about it. Oh right, uncle, I heard those two big brothers chatting just now. This is the first time I've heard of such a strange thing in my life. I don't know what's going on.”
"Oh! So Young Master was asking about this! Everyone in our village knows about this. Young Master might not know, but there is a young man in our village who is the third in the family, so everyone calls him Liu Sanlang. He was talented and intelligent since he was young, and he was the most knowledgeable person in the village. When he was young, he was taught by an old priest, and his knowledge could be said to be extraordinary!
The Marquis of Hongnong County, Duke Ning, had heard of his talent and sent people to invite him to be an official many times. Who knew that San Lang would refuse such a good future, saying that he wanted to fish for dragons at home. San Lang had three brothers in his family. The eldest and second brothers had died prematurely. Old Man Liu only hoped that San Lang could make a name for himself, but he did not expect San Lang to give up his good future and instead fish for dragons at home. Young Master, you say that dragons are illusory.
So there really were dragons, especially ones that mortals could catch, right? As time passed, the marquis stopped sending people over. He only thought that San Lang was crazy. When Old Man Liu saw this, he was so angry that he fell seriously ill and finally died of depression. When we saw this, the people of the same village also felt that it was a pity. Who knew that after Old Man Liu died, San Lang still insisted on going his own way. He was even unwilling to go to the job of a teacher in the village that Uncle Liu had found for him.
Every day, he would just bring a fishing rod to fish. He said that the day he caught a dragon, he would be able to soar. Young Master, don't you think that's ridiculous?”As the uncle spoke, he couldn't help but sigh when he talked about Liu Sanlang's encounter. To put it bluntly, he was a young man with a bright future, but he gave up his bright future and finally angered his father to death. It was indeed a sigh. Gui Ying couldn't help but ask. "Then how can this person support himself without a job?”
"Sigh... Although the village was not rich, it was isolated from the world. Old Father Liu was a good person when he was alive and treated the villagers very kindly. Therefore, when the villagers saw that San Lang's life was difficult, they would help him from time to time. He could barely make a living!”Hearing the uncle say this, this Liu Sanlang didn't know how to use his talent, but instead let the villagers feed him, becoming a rice worm. Gui Ying had a straightforward personality, but she didn't like people like him.
"I see! However, it was interesting. Uncle, where did this Liu Sanlang fish the dragon?”Liu Bian was also curious. He really wanted to see what kind of person the person who said he wanted to catch a dragon was. The uncle naturally did not hide anything. "If Young Master wants to see it, go east. San Lang goes to the Coiled Dragon Lake not far from the village entrance every morning and only returns when it's dark. He doesn't listen to advice even when he returns empty-handed every day.”
"Thank you, uncle. Let's go and take a look!”Liu Bian placed the money on the table and stood up. Gui Ying couldn't help but ask. "Young Master, what's so good about this kind of rice worm that doesn't do proper work?”
