    Chapter 155: If you want to eat fish, you must be willing to take bait (Part 1)

    Walking at the end of the team is Ma Lilian, the daughter of General Ma Chucheng, who has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and does not like female celebrities.  General Guide didn't care but was proud of it. He often told everyone that Ma had no children in his life, but having a daughter would be enough.  Even a seven-foot man can never compare to my treasure.

    Ma Lilian started practicing martial arts at the age of seven. She was able to dance her long spear at the age of nine. She was able to ride and shoot at the age of eleven. She was able to use almost all kinds of weapons at the age of fifteen and eighteen.  The key is that in this year's martial arts academy exam, she got an excellent score in the liberal arts and art of war exam.  It's no wonder that General Guide boasts about his pride. It's natural and congratulatory to have a girl.  Other people's sons could not get into the Yanwu Academy, but the girl in the vest was a well-known student of the Yanwu Academy.

    Ma Lilian is petite in stature, but has an upright and even fiery temper.  Although she didn't like Fang Jie's face that no one wanted to talk to, she also didn't like the moral character of Yuan Chengshi and Liu Shuang.  The reason why I followed this team was because I had no choice but to ask Mr. Mo Wanwan to only have Fang Jie and Zhang Kuang?

    "And what she was even more unhappy about was the woman clinging to Yuan Chengshi's side.

    That woman¡¯s name is Niu Miao, the youngest daughter of Niu Huilun, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.  Logically speaking, this girl should be very virtuous and virtuous in the Niu family, which has a long history of poetry and calligraphy, but her reputation in Chang'an City is even louder than that of some brothel girls.  It's not that she has many men to marry her, but this woman is also a bit bold, and the people who come and go on weekdays are not just young ladies or daughters, but young men from aristocratic families.

    The people in Chang'an City have become accustomed to the scene of walking together shoulder to shoulder, and secretly call her Niuhuahua.

    Ever since she entered the Yanwu Academy and met Master Yuan Cheng, this woman has been inseparable from him.  The two of them had similar temperaments, and Niu Huahua already regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of Yuan Chongwu, the governor of Hebei Province.  Speaking of which, the two families are well matched. One's father is a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion. Although he has no real power, he has a very high status.  One is a dignified second-grade border official, holding the power of life and death for millions of people.

    Ma Lilian doesn¡¯t want to see Niu Huahua, and Niu Huahua doesn¡¯t want to see her either.

    It is said that there is rarely a pure friendship between women. Let alone friendship between these two people, if they were not afraid of being laughed at, they might get into a fight and tear each other apart one day.  Although Ma Lilian is the daughter of a martial artist and also likes martial arts, she is conservative and dislikes the dissoluteness of women.  Niu Huahua is a child of a literary family, but she never seems to take gender seriously.

    ¡°These two women are both wonderful people.

    There are only these two female students in Class B, and they are naturally the favorites in the eyes of all men.  There are many people who are attentive when they have nothing to do, but of course, Fang Jie is not among them.

    Niu Huahua was originally very fond of Fang Jie. At least in terms of appearance, he was much more beautiful than Yuan Chengshi.  It's a pity that that guy was so bored all day long that he didn't even look at her. How could she be so angry?  A woman who is used to being coaxed and pampered by men will often feel hatred for no reason when she encounters a man who is not interested in her.

    "Young Master Yuan, don't beat him too hard. Fang Jie is a popular figure in front of Your Majesty. If he gets beaten badly and then goes to complain to Your Majesty, the gain will outweigh the loss."

    Niuhuahua pursed her lips and said with a smile.

    Liu Shuang replied: "What? Our Miss Niu is also interested in that pretty boy?"

    "It's on your mother's terms!"

    Niu Huahua immediately cursed, showing no mercy to Liu Shuang.  Her father is a bachelor. Although he has no real power, he often meets with His Majesty.  Liu Shuang's father was the governor of Chuzhou County. He had considerable power, but the officials who were devolved were far inferior to the academicians of Beijing.  In particular, Niu Huilun could torture Liu Shuang's father to death.  But Liu Shuang's father couldn't deal with Academician Niu.

    Coupled with the relationship between Niu Huahua and Yuan Chengshi, Liu Shuang couldn't say anything.  Yuan Chongwu is the governor of Hebei Province, which is close to the northwest. In the future, when the imperial court launches troops to the northwest, Yuan Chongwu's Hebei Province will be a strategic location.  At that time, the real power in his hands will obviously arouse jealousy, and Liu Shuang, who wants to curry favor with the Yuan family, will never dare to offend him.

    After finishing scolding Liu Shuang, Niu Huahua looked at Yuan Chengshi with charming eyes and said, "I am thinking about Young Master Yuan."

    Master Yuan Cheng nodded and said: "I'll save it, but don't worry too much. Your Majesty will not care about competitions between martial arts schools, and it is common for the loser to be injured during the competition. If Your Majesty does this,  It seems unfair to ask."

    "I'm just worried about you."

    Niuhuahua said sweetly.

    Master Yuan Cheng waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Although we have a map in our hands, we are not familiar with the route and terrain, and we cannot send scouts to investigate. We cannot delay any longer."

    Liu Shuang hummed and rushed out of the city gate first.  Thirty students wearing Yanwu Academy uniforms rushed out of the city, attracting many passers-by's attention.  The soldiers guarding the gate looked at the students.There was a bit of envy in his eyes.  Of those who can enter the martial arts academy, who does not have a bright future?

    Soon after leaving the city, they entered the mountain road. Master Yuan Cheng turned around from time to time to give instructions. He was the leader of the team. He had the highest background among all the students, so the others had no objections.  Ma Lilian is the daughter of General Guide. General Guide is a fourth-rank military officer and is far behind the second-rank Governor.

    She was not the kind of person who liked to make things happen, so she simply followed behind without saying a word.

    "My husband once said that assassinations and ambushes are also the duties of scouts. Our team should be more compact. After all, Fang Jie and Zhang Kuang are both border army scouts. If anyone is attacked by surprise, don't say I didn't warn you. In order to win in the end,  I will never let anyone go to the rescue.¡±

    Master Yuan Cheng shouted a few words loudly, looked at the majestic mountains in front of him and said to himself: "What's wrong with the nine excellent people? He's just a waste who can't practice!"

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    When Yuan Chengshi¡¯s team entered the mountain, Fang Jie and the three of them were already catching fish.  The three of them were traveling much faster than the large group of people, especially since Mo Wanwan was so familiar with the road that he didn't even need to stop and look at the map.

    Crescent Lake is deep in the mountains, a flat place halfway up the mountain.  Generally, there are water pools in the mountains at the top of the mountain or at the bottom of the mountain. It is a bit strange that the Crescent Lake is halfway up the mountain.  Moreover, after looking for a long time, Fang Jie couldn't find out that this pool was connected to some river. It turned out to be a stagnant pool.

    ¡°As Mo Wanwu said, the water in Crescent Lake is freezing cold.  There is no need to touch it with your hands. Standing by the pool, a cold breath hits your face.  Fang Jie tried to put his hand in, and then couldn't help but shudder.  The water was unbearably cold. Logically speaking, the water should have frozen at this temperature, but I don't know why it didn't. This didn't seem to be consistent with common sense.

    Level as a mirror, without a trace of ripples.

    Since it is stagnant water, it should be very dirty.  After all, this pool has existed for who knows how many years, and fallen leaves and weeds cannot be washed away even if they are swept in by the wind.  Fang Jie's understanding of stagnant water is that it is green, dirty, sticky and turbid. In his previous life, even living water rivers had similar appearance.  But the Crescent Lake is clear and bright, with no debris at all. You can even see fish with black backs swimming in the water, not afraid of people at all.

    The six-gilled fish in the water hadn't seen anyone in an unknown amount of time. Mo Wanwan simply made a fishing rod, hung an earthworm on the hook and threw it into the pool. After a while, there was a foot-long fish.  Come bite.  Fang Jie remembered that Mo Wanwan said that the fish in the cold water pool were only one foot long every hundred years, which meant that the fish he saw was already a hundred years old.

    "Sir, there is no waterway connecting this pool, so why is it still so clear?"

    Fang Jie couldn't help but asked curiously.

    "I don't know either."

    Mo Wanwan picked up the foot-long six-gilled fish and threw it into the prepared fish basket.  The big fish twisted its body so hard that it even knocked over the fish basket.  Crazy went over to catch it, and the fish in his arms was still able to struggle out.  It can be seen that a hundred years of Taoism are not useless.

    "Professor Qiu speculated that there might be a big hole at the bottom of the water that connected to other waterways. So she took the risk and went into the water, but she only dived a few feet deep before she couldn't survive it. Only someone with her temperament would have such courage.  , I don¡¯t dare to do it anyway.¡±

    Mo Wanwan skillfully hung up the bait again and swung out the simple and even rough fishing rod again: "But since the water is so clear, it cannot really be connected to other places. If there is a really bored great practitioner, dive down and have a look.  It¡¯s impossible to find the truth.¡±

    "Is there such a boring great practitioner in this world?"

    Zhang Kuang finally subdued the fish and then did something stupid.  He even subconsciously tied the fish with a rope, thinking that this way the fish would not jump around.  Seeing him fussing around, Fang Jie couldn't help but laugh: "You just tied a bow, how can you still tie up the fish?"

    Zhang Kuang blushed and threw the fish into the fish basket again, then clamped the fish basket with a big stone: "I just listened to what Mr. said for a while, I was stupid."

    He came over and squatted next to Mo Wanwan to watch him fishing, waiting for Mo Wanwan's answer.

    "Who are the great cultivators of time? Why do they come here to do such boring things?"

    Mo Wanwan curled his lips and said: "The great cultivator I am talking about is not a master of the seventh or eighth grade. To be called a great cultivator, he must at least have a ninth grade cultivation. Fang Jie, I know how many you have seen.  Such a great practitioner, but you must not think that there are too many ninth-grade practitioners Because this is Chang'an, it is naturally easier to see the most powerful people in the ninth grade than in other places.  I haven¡¯t met anyone in Jiangnan.¡±

    Fang JieHe groaned, thought for a while and asked: "A person with the ninth level of cultivation in the world is the strongest?"

    "Who dares to say!"

    Mo Wanwu said: "There is no end to literature, and there is no end to martial arts. You see that this mountain is already very high, and there are higher mountains in the world. And in places that you may not be able to reach in this life, there may be places that go straight into the clouds.  Peak. The reason why people are called the most powerful at the ninth level is because people don¡¯t know how to define those who are strong above the ninth level, butit doesn¡¯t mean there are none.¡±

    "Have you seen it, sir?"

    "If there is such a person in the world the dean must be one of them."

    Mo Wanwan replied.

    "That old man"

    Fang Jie swallowed back the last word and changed his words: "That old and crooked one"

    ¡°I pretended I didn¡¯t hear this sentence.¡±

    Mo Wanwan smiled and said: "But what you said is extremely correct."

    At this moment, Fang Jie and the others suddenly heard the sound of chewing coming from behind.  The three people quickly looked back, only to see that Fang Jie's red horse actually put its mouth into the fish basket and took out the six-cheeked fish. It was delicious and delicious.  Not only was this red horse not afraid of being pricked by fish bones, its eyes shone with excitement.  No matter how you look at it, the way it eats fish doesn't look like a horse.

    "Is thisperverted?"

    Fang Jie asked in surprise.

    "That's your horse!"

    Mo Wanwu and Zhang Kuang shouted in unison.

    Fang Jie looked at the red horse and felt that it was a little strange that this guy was eating six-gill fish.  It was as if it had eaten it before, and the excitement was a bit unusual.

    ¡°Damn it, I still need to use bait when fishing, but you¡¯re a good bastard!¡±

    Mo Wanwu said slightly angrily, but when he was talking about bait, he glanced at Fang Jie subconsciously for some reason, and the trace of guilt in his eyes flashed away again.

    "Fang Jie, are you sure you are riding a horse?"

    Zhang Kuang asked in surprise.

    Fang Jie thought for a while before answering seriously: "Actually, it is a pig"

    While the three of them were chatting, about fifteen miles away from Fang Jie and the others, Yuan Chengshi led the students into the dense forest. He unfolded the map, looked at it, pointed in one direction and said: "That's it, let's go further  It¡¯ll be there in less than half an hour.¡±

    On a large protruding rock high above their heads, Miao Monk Chenya pointed down and asked Fang Henshui: "Did you see it? There are many Sui people coming down below. You can call for help."

    "I can not."

    "Then you can volunteer to be bait and trick a few of them into coming over. This will save you the trouble of having to cut your flesh."

    Chen Ya asked with a smile: "Isn't it?"
