My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 42

Chapter 42: We agreed to go fishing, using rice wine as bait.

The orange-red sun hangs in the sky.

The intense heat radiates across the earth.

The incessant chirping of cicadas was deafening.

Occasionally a gentle breeze blows, but it doesn’t bring any coolness.

“Summer is too unfriendly to wood spirit roots.” Xu Changqing slumped into a wooden chair by the door, his face showing a look of utter despair.

I’m not afraid of the cold in winter, but I’m afraid of the heat in summer.

The higher the temperature, the more listless and weak a person feels.

It wasn’t just him.

Even the little yellow dog and guinea fowl were listless.

They all huddled in dark corners, too afraid to go out.

At that moment, a communication talisman in the small storage bag vibrated.

Xu Changqing took it out and saw that it was Hu Bugui.

“what?”

Want to go fishing?

“You’re not selling manure anymore?”

“It’s too hot, it won’t sell well!”

“Oh? Where are you going fishing?”

“Just tell me if you’re coming or not.”

“I want to go, but I don’t have any fishing gear.”

“I have some here.”

Where should we meet?

“Wait for me at the fork in the road near the core area. I’ll be there shortly.”

Since he had nothing better to do, Xu Changqing accepted Hu Bugui’s invitation.

Although his fishing skills weren’t great.

But I’m quite curious about what kind of fish I can catch.

However, before going, pack two catties of spirit rice wine.

Then they went to the second-grade spirit field and picked a half-ripe watermelon.

“It’s a bit far, so I won’t take you. Just rest at home.” Xu Changqing put a straw hat on his head and then walked towards the fork in the road near the core management office.

Under the scorching heat, the speed naturally increased.

There were hardly any people along the way; almost everyone was staying at home and not going out.

The fork in the road is where I rented paper cranes last time I went to the Red Maple Valley market.

Waiting and waiting… waiting and waiting…

Finally, a series of loud bangs came from not far away.

Xu Changqing glanced to the side and saw a camel galloping towards him.

From the middle of the camel’s hump, Hu Bugui waved excitedly: “Sorry to keep you waiting!”

“Finally here.” Xu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the camel stopped in front of him.

Then he lowered his body slightly.

Upon seeing this, Xu Changqing immediately climbed up.

Once he was settled, Hu Bugui shouted, “Run!”

Instantly, the camel’s four hooves pounded wildly, and it galloped away.

To be fair, it is indeed quite fast.

But it also raises a lot of dust.

Xu Changqing had to pull his straw hat down a bit, otherwise his face would be all dirty.

At this moment, Hu Bugui spoke up: “You’re so young, why do you stay in the spirit fields all day long? Why don’t you come out and wander around and have some fun?”

Xu Changqing shrugged upon hearing this: “I’m a bit of a homebody.”

“Stay-at-home? You like houses?” Hu Bugui’s eyes were blank.

Xu Changqing blinked, then explained, “We just joined the core of the spirit field, so we dare not be careless, for fear that the output will be insufficient and we will not be able to complete the mission.”

Hu Bugui nodded slightly: “I understand. I was in the same boat as you when I first joined the Spirit Beast Valley.”

The two chatted casually.

Half an hour had passed, which is now an hour.

The scene ahead gradually changed.

To the left is a lush forest.

On the right is a shimmering river.

There are already quite a few anglers here.

In the sweltering summer heat, he sat quietly on the fishing platform without uttering a sound.

“There are too many people here, let’s move forward a bit.” Hu Bugui did not stop.

Therefore, after going forward for about a few hundred meters, there is a left turn.

There were hardly any people left to see.

Even if there were, they would be on the other side of the river.

At this moment, Hu Bugui controlled the camel, gradually slowing down its speed.

After a short while, it stopped under a shady tree.

The two men jumped off the camel’s hump one after the other.

While taking things out of his small storage bag, Hu Bugui said, “If you don’t want to go fishing, you can go for a swim.”

“Is there something in this river?” Xu Changqing couldn’t help but think of the Xuanwu companion beast he had seen at the Imperial Water Pavilion before, that hundred-zhang-long yellow Teng Snake.

In response, Hu Bugui said mysteriously, “Apart from the spring water, all the streams and rivers in Lingtian originate from the black lake in Yushui Pavilion.”

Xu Changqing raised an eyebrow: “You mean, there really is something?”

Hu Bugui took a few steps closer to the riverbank, began to choose a fishing spot, and then said, “I heard from others that a black coffin floated down this river before.”

The blood that flowed from the cracks killed all life in the water.

Even the immortal master was alarmed at that time.

This piqued Xu Changqing’s interest even more, and he couldn’t help but move closer, asking with a curious expression, “Doesn’t that mean that there were already people here before our [Dongting Immortal Sect]?”

“I think so.” Hu Bugui wasn’t entirely sure either.

After all, that happened thousands, even tens of thousands of years ago.

He was just a formal disciple who had joined the Spirit Beast Valley a few years ago.

All the information was heard from other people.

“Should we just go back? What if there’s real danger?” Xu Changqing thought to himself.

“Are you still going to fish?” Hu Bugui finished getting everything ready, turned around, and found that the other person hadn’t even started fishing.

“Uh… fishing.” After thinking it over, Xu Changqing finally gave up the idea of leaving.

It’s not easy to get out of the house.

It was an invitation from a friend.

We can’t let the other person down.

So he found a spot nearby.

The fish hooks, fishing lines, fishing rods, and bait were all provided by Hu Bugui.

Xu Changqing then took out a second-grade spirit rice wine and a half-ripe watermelon.

“Spirit Rice Wine.” Hu Bugui’s eyes lit up.

He really craved this stuff.

The pound I brought back last time, I’ve already finished it all.

Just as I was wondering what excuse to come up with, someone brought it to me on their own initiative.

Xu Changqing chuckled and said, “Simply fishing is too boring.”

The two then went fishing and drank together.

As a result, they didn’t catch any fish, but instead drank most of the wine.

Meanwhile, the angler on the other side was catching fish one after another, reaping a bountiful harvest.

After a while, Hu Bugui said with a flushed face, “Something’s not right, why are all the fish on the other side?”

Xu Changqing observed this and pondered, “This person seems to have used some kind of method.”

Although the river is not swift, it is not calm.

But the opposite side remained completely still.

It was as calm as a mirror, but something about it was definitely not right.

“Then what’s the point of fishing?!” Hu Bugui, fueled by alcohol, angrily flung his hand away.

Immediately, the remaining half cup of spirit rice wine in his hand was spilled out.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

They didn’t have a single fish here originally.

As a result, almost at the same time, after the rice wine was dissolved in the water.

Both of their fishing rods began to shake.

The fishing line tightened instantly.

“The fish took the bait?” Xu Changqing and Hu Bugui exchanged a glance, both extremely surprised.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Soon, two large, plump silver carp were pulled out of the water.

Next, the two seemed to break a curse.

The fish were coming one after another.

“What’s going on?” Zhao Ziyue asked, bewildered, from across the river.

He used the Water Interception Technique to stop the flow of water in front of him.

Then, the pre-prepared bait was sprinkled on top.

Unexpectedly, ever since the two people on the other side appeared…

There are fewer and fewer fish on our side.

It’s been ten minutes since a fish took the bait.

But the other side just wouldn’t stop.

In just a short while, at least dozens of big silver carp were caught!
