Chapter 1640: How Can a Golden Scale Be Kept in a Basin?

Back to the academy, it was very quiet today without students. There were several teachers, each of whom was assigned a room, just like a modern single dormitory, only about ten square meters, with very simple furnishings, a wooden bed, a desk by the window, on which were placed pens, inkstones, candlesticks and other items, nothing else.

Take out fish glue and other medicinal materials from the space, open your palm, and the medicine is held in the air. Under the operation of spiritual power, the medicinal materials gradually melt. Jiang Hao uses the alchemy technique to brew these medicinal materials with his bare hands, and soon there is a ball of milky white colloid in his hand.

Object control technique.

The gelatin ball is divided into three pieces, and the remaining two pieces are stored in the space, leaving one ball in the hand.

This ball is enough to make a mask.

What should it look like?

Jiang Hao thought about it, and soon had an idea in his mind. Under the control of his mind, the ball of latex quickly turned into a mask, and then applied it to Jiang Hao's face. Jiang Hao picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it, and a handsome face appeared in it.

Jiang Hao waved his hand again, and the Chunjun Sword flew out. The person in the mirror smiled softly, "The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword."

Looking back at the room, although Jiang Hao has passed the materialistic stage and doesn't care about the simplicity, this is a dormitory. It will be inconvenient for him to do things in the future, so he needs a house.

Need money.

Jiang Hao can turn stone into gold, but that spell is simply an illusion, a deceptive trick. If you really want to change the molecular structure and turn stone into gold, I'm afraid only a real immortal can do it, and it's too costly. If you exchange immortal power for gold, you're mentally ill.

As for using deceptive tricks, Jiang Hao disdains it now, unless it is used to punish bad people, it will damage good people's merits.

Business makes money?

It can't be done for a while.

At this time, Jiang Hao stood by the bed, and outside the window was the river in Hangzhou City. From time to time, there were black-sailed boats passing by. Seeing the river and the boats, Jiang Hao immediately had an idea.

There are sunken ships in the river, which must contain gold and silver. You can salvage them yourself. By the way, there are pearls in the river. Pearls are still very valuable in this era, and you can also salvage some to exchange for money.

The small river outside is too small.

Qiantang County is next to Qiantang River, where there are more sunken ships with big water and rough waves, so he decided to go to Qiantang River to search.

It was still early, and there was no one in the academy. Jiang Hao was free and ready to go now. He was not in a hurry and strolled all the way to the river.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the red sun shone on the vast river surface, showing sparkling golden light. Jiang Hao was ready to find a place to take off his clothes and go into the river. He didn't know the magic of avoiding water, so he would get wet when he went into the water. This set of clothes was new clothes that he had just changed, and it would be troublesome if they got wet and dirty.

After walking a little further, he suddenly saw a group of people gathered by the riverbank, watching something. Jiang Hao didn't pay attention at first and was about to walk over, but as he passed by, he suddenly felt a faint demonic aura emanating from the crowd. Although it was very faint and hidden, Jiang Hao still felt it because he was close. He thought about it and walked over.

There was a fisherman in the crowd, and in front of the fisherman was a wooden basin. In the basin, a fat golden carp was swimming slowly, spitting water from its mouth from time to time.

The fisherman boasted with a smile: "I was about to collect the net, but suddenly I saw the water was turbid. With my many years of fishing experience, I knew there must be a big catch, so I cast the net and it was so heavy when I pulled it up, and then I caught this big guy."

"Look, the scales of this carp are all golden, and the fins and tail are also golden. I have never caught such a golden carp before. It is definitely a rare thing."

At this time, a bystander asked: "How much are you going to sell it for?"

The fisherman smacked his lips and said, "This fish is about 18 kilograms, and its golden scales are extremely rare. If I give it to an official or serve it at a birthday party, it will definitely be very impressive, so I plan to sell this fish for 2 taels of silver."

When the fisherman said that he wanted 2 taels of silver, many people around took a breath of cold air.

"You are asking too much. You want two taels of silver for one fish. Two taels of silver can be exchanged for two stone of rice."

"I have never seen such an expensive fish. Even if it is 17 or 18 kilograms, it is only more than 100 coins at most. You are asking 20 times more."

"It is too expensive. No one will buy it."

When Jiang Hao got closer, he saw it more clearly. He could see that the golden carp in the basin had an extraordinary origin. It exuded a faint demonic and spiritual aura, which meant that the fish had definitely become a demon and contained an inner elixir.

This is a fish demon with an inner elixir.

When demons cultivate, they will continue to cultivate the inner elixir, so the demon in front of him has at least the foundation-building stage, and may even be a golden elixir demon, or even stronger.

Now he was beaten up by a mortal. Why did he end up like this? Jiang Hao thought of a possibility.

Crossing the calamity.

The Taoists have the saying of three disasters, nine difficulties and ten calamities, especially the demons. Although he doesn't know the rules of the white snake world, he can't escape the rules of the Tao.

When Sun Wukong was learning martial arts, Bodhi Patriarch wanted to teach him the 36 changes of Tian Gang and the 72 changes of Di Sha, which were used to avoid the three disasters, nine difficulties and ten calamities.

The monkey "wanted to find more" and chose the 72 changes.

The three disasters are natural disasters, earth disasters and man-made disasters.

Natural disasters are thunder disasters, wind disasters, fire disasters, etc., among which thunder disasters are the most common. Earth disasters are the disappearance of magic power, imprisonment by the power of heaven and earth, and becoming the most primitive state. During this period, it is extremely dangerous and may suffer disasters. Man-made disasters are easier to explain, that is, being bullied by people.

For example, now, the golden carp in front of you is experiencing the earth disaster. Next, if it is stewed by someone, it will be a man-made disaster.

As for the nine difficulties, they are the nine difficulties on the road of cultivation, such as the pressure of food and clothing, the invitation of elders, the entanglement of love, the entanglement of fame and fortune, the occurrence of disasters, the constraints of blind teachers, the false pointing of side doors, the slackness of ambition, the wasted years, etc., a total of nine kinds.

The ten tribulations are ten kinds of tribulations, such as the tribulation of the inner demon, the tribulation of swords and weapons, the tribulation of life and death, and the tribulation of love.

Thinking of the tribulation of love, Jiang Hao suddenly thought of a song.

"There are many difficulties in life. Since ancient times, the tribulation of love has been the most uncomfortable. Maybe I am destined to be bumpy in the sea of ​​love. I have paid so much for you, but I am so painful that I can't say it, because I love you like a moth flying into a fire. "

In fact, think about it, when the White Snake met Xu Xian, she might have been experiencing the most difficult tribulation of love.

These tribulations are extremely dangerous, so many fairies look for nobles who are blessed with good fortune or possessed by gods when they are going through tribulations, hoping that they can help them get through the difficulties.

At this time, the golden carp was just an ordinary carp, without any magic power and unable to use any ability, but his intelligence was still there. He was extremely anxious, but he could only let others slaughter him. He only prayed in his heart, hoping that someone could come to save him.

The fisherman saw that it was getting late, and said: "Since you don't want to buy it, I will go to the city quickly, before dinner, maybe I can sell it at a good price in the restaurant."

At this time, Jiang Hao spoke, "How much do you want to sell this fish for?"

The fisherman looked up and saw that it was a scholar, and immediately said: "Two taels of silver."

"Can't be less?"

The fisherman saw that there was a chance, and immediately said: "Golden scale carp is rare in the world, two taels of silver is not expensive at all."

"Okay, I'll take two taels." Jiang Hao didn't want to waste time talking to him, and took out the two taels of silver that his sister Xu Jiaorong had just given him.

The fisherman was overjoyed. Just as he was about to take the silver, a voice sounded in the distance, "Wait, I want that fish."

As soon as the voice fell, a dark-skinned man with two dark-faced men strode up to the fisherman and said loudly, "Song Laowu, I want this fish. My grandfather will have his birthday in two days. It will be just right to send it to him for the birthday celebration."

The fisherman Song Laowu's mouth twitched, and he bowed and said, "Mr. Kui, this scholar has already bought it for two taels of silver."

This Mr. Kui is a gangster bully in Qiantang County. If he takes this fish, he won't get a penny. This trip is a waste.

The dark-skinned man looked at Jiang Hao with contempt in his eyes, and ignored Jiang Hao at all, "Come on, take the fish away, Song Laowu, you will also get a share of Mr. Kui's birthday."

The fish was gone with just one sentence. Looking at the silver in Jiang Hao's hand, the fisherman's heart was bleeding, but he didn't dare to refute anything.

Jiang Hao thought, maybe this is the disaster of the golden carp.

It was obvious that the other party was not easy to mess with, and ordinary people really couldn't stand it.

Jiang Hao moved.

He threw the silver in his hand directly to the fisherman, who hurriedly caught it. Jiang Hao whispered: "The silver is given to you. The deal is done. Now the fish belongs to me. You have nothing to do here. Take the money and leave."

The fisherman glanced at Jiang Hao and thought that it seemed that this scholar was not an ordinary person. He didn't dare to get caught in the middle. He quickly picked up the fishing gear and ran away.

Other people who were originally watching the excitement also hid far away to avoid getting into trouble.

The black and strong man looked at Jiang Hao coldly and said in a cold voice, "Which road are you from, my friend? This is a birthday gift for Mr. Kui. Don't you want to give Mr. Kui face?"

Kui, your father.

Jiang Hao bent down and picked up the huge wooden basin and left. The black and strong man was furious. He usually ran rampant in the village, but he didn't expect to be ignored by a scholar today.

Whether you are a scholar or not, scholars will be beaten.

"Stop him and take the fish back." The black and strong man shouted to his two minions.

The two rascals rushed towards Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao kicked the ground and several pieces of dirt flew up and hit the two rascals and the black and strong man. The three of them could not move immediately.

Simple acupuncture techniques are very effective against mortals.

The three rascals were fixed in place and were shocked. They knew that they had met a master today. Jiang Hao ignored them and left with the fish basin. The three of them were relieved. Fortunately, the man didn't want to kill them.

But being fixed here and unable to move, the river wind was blowing, which was not a good feeling.

Who will save us?

Jiang Hao carried the fish basin and quickly came to the far side of Qiantang River. This place was already a wilderness with few people. Jiang Hao put down the wooden basin, looked at the golden carp in the basin, and said with a smile: "It is said that 'golden scales are not things in the pond, they turn into dragons when encountering wind and clouds', but you are a golden scale in the basin, and almost become a fish in the pot."

"Okay, I will let you go today, I hope you can survive this disaster." After saying that, he picked up the golden carp and threw it into the river far away.

With a splash, the golden carp sank into the water without splashing a single wave.

Jiang Hao was just about to leave when he suddenly felt the spiritual energy in the river surging, and then the waves rolled up, and smoke-like black clouds surged from the sky, covering dozens of miles around, the wind roared and the river surged, Jiang Hao was not afraid, and squinted his eyes slightly at the water.

"Ang~!"

Suddenly, a huge figure jumped out of the river, with deer horns, snake body, lizard legs, eagle claws, snake tail, and golden scales. It was clearly a golden dragon. This golden dragon was about 70 to 80 feet long, flying straight into the sky, shuttling back and forth in the dark clouds several times, and finally flying downwards.

When it approached the ground, it suddenly turned over, and its body was covered with clouds and mist. When it landed on the ground, it had turned into a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man had a square nose and a wide mouth, and a resolute look. He was wearing a long robe with golden patterns. He walked quickly to the front and bowed deeply to Jiang Hao.

"I have been ordained by you, and today I officially turned into a dragon. Thank you for saving my life. Li Lin has met you."
