Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

"Hey, isn't that Ah Qing?"

"Come in and have a drink with our brothers?"

"Hahaha!"

A Qing, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, ignored the nonsense of several drunkards and hurriedly walked into a drug store with his younger brother.

"Hey, this girl is also a poor person."

"My parents left early without telling me, and they still left such a burden."

"How can you live on a medicine jar?"

"Even a grown man might not be able to withstand such a cold weather. How can a little girl like her endure it?"

"As I said, if you want to help her, then quickly find a matchmaker to come to propose marriage."

"Don't tell me, this girl is very capable. She is a good woman who knows how to give birth and take care of the family."

"It's a pity that I brought a burden..."

While everyone in the store was talking, Ah Qing had already walked out of the drug store and took his younger brother to the fish stall.

The fish she brought had not been sold out yet, so she hurried here because the doctor at the medicine shop was a strange person, and the shop was sometimes open. She did not dare to delay, so she could only come to buy medicine first, and then go back to set up the stall.

However, as soon as I arrived at the fish stall, I saw a large circle of people surrounding the adjacent stall, and there were quarrels.

"What...is going on?"

Ah Qing looked around and didn't dare to go up directly. He could only ask a fishmonger he knew well.

"It seems that two groups of people have taken a fancy to a fish, and they are rushing to buy it without giving in to the other."

"a fish?"

"What fish?"

"I don't know."

Ah Qing was surprised, and everyone was even more curious. They stretched their necks and looked in, seriously watching the excitement and it was not a big deal.

Only a few old fishmongers frowned, silently put away their stalls, and retreated without leaving a trace.

Ah Qing also came back to his senses, looked at the unsold fish on his stall, and looked at the circle of people arguing. He gritted his teeth, picked up his brother, and retreated to the corner of the street.

In the field, two groups of people surrounded the fish stall and were locked in a stalemate.

"I was the first to take a fancy to this fish."

"It's yours if you like it first. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

"That's right, for the money we gave you first, the fish is ours!"

"Isn't that reasonable? You guys are so arrogant. Do you really think we, Donglai Pavilion, are easy to bully?"

"So what about Donglai Pavilion? We at Nanfeng Pavilion are not vegetarians either."

"Hey, fish seller, who are you going to sell this fish to? Tell me!"

The two groups were in a stalemate, and finally turned their attention to the fishmonger.

Facing the cannibalistic looks from both sides, the fishmonger showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "You two gentlemen, how about you cut this fish open and give each of you two half half... Ouch!"

Before he finished speaking, someone slapped him to the ground with his backhand: "You bitch, how dare you sell fish to others after accepting my deposit!"

Seeing this, the other person immediately sneered: "What's the deposit? Don't use your power to bully others and intimidate the store."

After that, he asked the two clerks to stand up the fishmonger: "Don't be afraid, everyone makes the decision for you. Whoever you say you want to sell this fish to, then sell it to whomever. In broad daylight, is there anyone who dares to buy and sell it by force?" "

"Uncle, I..."

The fishmonger, half of his face swollen, looked at the two men who were staring at each other eagerly, not knowing how to respond.

Everyone around was very surprised when they saw this.

"Donglai Pavilion?"

"Nanfeng Tower?"

"Those are the two major restaurants in Jiangning Mansion."

"What kind of fish is so rare that two major restaurants can compete for it?"

"Is it Black Yaksha?"

"Stop joking, Black Yaksha will appear in this fish market?"

"That's right, with Lao Zhou's body, how can he catch Black Yaksha?"

"I heard it was a carp, very ordinary, but for some reason, the stewards of the two major restaurants felt like they had seen a treasure."

"Could it be..."

Everyone was talking about it, and things got worse and worse.

At this moment...

"drive!"

"Get out of the way!"

There was a sound of horse hooves, and the ground shook.

Everyone looked back and saw a group of people approaching the fish market.

The leader is a woman, wearing a fiery red fox fur cloak, but she still can't hide her proud figure. She rides a maroon horse with red rabbit and rouge on her hip. She is elegant and noble, but also shows that she is heroic and heroic. , really stunningly beautiful.

Behind the woman, there were three more cavalry chasing after them. They were also wearing bright clothes and angry horses, and they had the aura of the rivers and lakes.

After a few rides, there were the infantry, hundreds of strong men, shouting in unison, which was equally shocking.

"It's the Flying Tiger Gang!"

"That one is..."

"The third young master of the Feihu Gang, how could he be following someone?"

Looking at the formation of the incoming people, everyone was frightened and a little curious.

Beside the fish stall, the two groups who were at loggerheads also turned around and bowed to the woman who had arrived on horseback.

"Meet Miss Li!"

"snort!"

The woman in red sat on the horse and looked at the two of them coldly: "The country has national laws, and families have family rules. When you are making trouble here, do you still have the royal laws of the court in your eyes?"

"This... I know I was wrong, so please forgive me, Miss Li!"

When the two of them heard this, they broke into a cold sweat and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Li Suhong looked down at the two of them with an indifferent expression: "For the sake of the Zhang and Li families, I won't care about you this time. If you do it again, don't blame me for being unkind!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"get out!"

The two of them left in embarrassment as if they had been granted amnesty.

Li Suhong then drove his horse forward and looked at the fishmonger who was at a loss: "Sell this fish to me."

After that, he took out a gold ingot from somewhere and threw it in front of the fishmonger.

"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss!"

Although the identity of the visitor was unknown, the fishmonger who was saved was still grateful and knelt on the ground to thank him repeatedly.

"Walk!"

Li Suhong said nothing, turned the horse's head, led the team and galloped away, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Just like a beautiful strong wind, it comes and goes suddenly.

Ah Qing stood among the crowd, looking at the direction she was leaving, feeling a little dazed and absent-minded.

It was not just her, but many people were like this. Looking at Li Suhong walking away was like looking at her own dreams.

But dreams are still dreams after all, and they can never come true. In the end, they can only return to reality in despair.

Soon, everyone dispersed and everything went as usual.

In the restaurant...

"Li Suhong, Miss Li!"

"The Li family of Jiangning Mansion!"

"I heard that there are three major families in Jiangning Mansion, and the Li family is one of them, the most powerful!"

"Even the Flying Tiger Gang was raised by the Li family!"

"Why would such a big shot come to the fish market?"

"What kind of fish was sold at that stall just now?"

"Donglai Pavilion and Nanfeng Tower were both robbed. In the end, Miss Li gave me a piece of gold ingot."

"I looked carefully and saw that the ingot of silver was at least fifty taels."

"Apart from Black Yaksha, what fish is so valuable?"

"Could it be..."

After a while of discussion, the atmosphere changed inexplicably.

Several people stood up to pay and left the restaurant in a hurry.

Inexplicably uneasy, the atmosphere was contagious, and the bustling restaurant was mostly empty in the blink of an eye.

Xu Yang didn't move. He sat on the edge and glanced out the window.

In the fish market, people were still coming and going, but there was obviously a bit more rush.

"Oh, we all have dreams of getting rich, so how is it that the spirit fish is so easy to catch?"

At this time, in the restaurant, someone suddenly heard a disdainful laugh.

"Spirit fish?"

Xu Yang murmured, lowered his head, and wanted to use his magic power to inquire about the secret, but he quickly dismissed it.

The art of heavenly secrets is unavailable in this world.

Because of the erosion of demonic energy, everything has demonic nature. Demonic energy has become the basic framework of this world like Yuanling.

If you want to inquire about the secrets of heaven, you must have the support of demonic energy, otherwise, you will be completely resisted by the demonic energy.

In fact, even if it is a demon cultivator, it is difficult to ask the secret at this time.

Because while the demonic energy pollutes the Yuanling of Heaven and Earth, it is also resisted by the Yuanling of Heaven and Earth.

The two forces consumed each other, causing chaos in the universe.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

He can't use the secret technique, and neither can anyone else.

Since you can't ask the secret, you can only ask it yourself.

"How about a drink with me, old man?"

"Isn't this... bad?"

"Secretary, please bring a jar of fine Nuerhong and some delicious dishes to go with the wine."

"Hehehe, little brother, you are also here for the spirit fish, right?"

"What spirit fish?"

"You don't know about spirit fish, either. This thing doesn't appear once in decades... Don't worry, just listen to me explain it to you in detail."

After chatting for a while, the old man with red nose and nose lay down on the table, and the person who invited him left a piece of broken silver and floated away.

After a while...

"Clang clang clang!"

Gongs and drums were beating, making a loud noise.

"Everyone, gather at the entrance of the fish market. The steward of the Feihu Gang has something to say."

"Flying Tiger Gang?"

"What's up?"

"this……"

Everyone was shocked and confused, but they still came to the fish market entrance honestly.

At the entrance of the fish market, a simple high platform has been built, and a rich middle-aged man stands on the platform.

"Dear fellow villagers, I have called you here today because I am responsible for the spiritual fish of Wuze Lake."

"There is a kind of fish in Wuze Lake called Spirit Fish, which is extremely valuable."

"The spirit fish has no species, only a few characteristics. Then I will distribute the atlas, and every household can receive one."

"This fish is a tribute and cannot be used for personal use. The government has ordered my Feihu Gang to collect it for me. If you catch a spiritual fish, you will be exempted from taxes for three years and will be rewarded with ten taels of silver."

"Those who hide private property are equivalent to stealing tribute, and will be punished with death regardless of the amount."

"In addition, the government has set up a "spiritual fish tax". Each household must hand over at least one spiritual fish as tax before spring, based on the number of people. Otherwise, they will be severely fined and all of them will be included in the government's fishing fleet to catch spiritual fish. .”

"From now on, Wuze Lake is closed. All fishing boats must be registered and have a token before they can fish on the lake. Our Flying Tiger Gang will set up a fleet to patrol day and night. Once a fishing boat is found to be fishing without registration, it will be stolen. The spirit fish discusses the matter.”

"..."

On the other side, outside the fish market, next to the pier.

A large ship docked and was transporting supplies.

At the bow of the ship, the cold wind was biting and the cloak was fluttering lightly.

Looking at the vast sea-like Wuze Lake, Li Suhong looked indifferent and asked quietly: "How is it?"

"Everything has been arranged. In addition to the original fishermen from Wuze Lake, fishermen from other places will soon move in. I have three thousand disciples from the Flying Tiger Gang. Those who are familiar with water properties are on standby with the boat. They will capture the spirit fish and offer it to the eldest lady. .”

The person behind him replied respectfully, and then hesitated a little: "It is not difficult to control the fishermen, but the birth of the spiritual fish will definitely attract plunder from all directions. I am afraid that the disciples in my gang are no match for those strong men in the world."

"That's not something you have to worry about."

But Li Suhong didn't look back: "Do what you should do, and those people will naturally be dealt with."

"yes!"
