Chapter 293: Go into the mountain again
Gu Liyue said: "I still have one tael of silver, just one tael!"
The big white fish opened and closed its mouth again, and slowly seemed to stop.
The village chief frowned and said nothing.
Gu Liyue said: "If it dies, I won't have to save it."
The village chief seemed to have made a great decision and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Gu Liyue said, "You must help me put it back into the sea and let it swim away."
The village chief's eyes flashed, and then he heard Gu Liyue's voice: "You can't catch it again within two days. If you can still catch it after two days, then I will accept it."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the village chief coldly. The village chief felt her intimidating gaze and took a step back, saying, "It all depends on Miss Gu."
"I'll go with you to release the fish, and I'll give you the silver after we're done. And you can't let anyone know that I bought the fish."
When the village chief heard that he was going to give money, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't let anyone know."
So, Gu Liyue followed the village chief, who personally pushed a cart, put the big white fish on it, pushed it to a remote beach, and released the big white fish back into the sea.
The white fish swam in the sea for a while, then turned around and looked at Gu Liyue, then slowly disappeared into the sea.
Gu Liyue handed one tael of silver to the village chief.
"Take the silver and go back first. I'll pray for it here and come back later."
The village chief took the silver and left happily.
Gu Liyue looked at the sea and found that the big white fish had floated up again. She took out the bracelet she had obtained in the Lingcao Garden. She saw a pool inside. She waved her hand and the big white fish went into the pool in the bracelet.
Gu Liyue used her spiritual sense to go in and communicate with it.
"Big White Fish, how did you get here? Whose spirit beast are you?"
"I don't know how I got here. I am the spirit beast of Gan Du." A young man replied in a slightly low voice.
"Really? Then where were you before you came to this little world?"
The voice didn't answer immediately, as if gathering its thoughts. After a while, it said, "I followed my master to the Cangwu Realm. Thunder struck at that time, and I ended up here, underwater. I was completely dazed."
"I see this pool is freshwater. How come you can stay in both freshwater and seawater?"
"What's the big deal? I'm a spirit beast, my master's spirit beast! I can even float in the air."
"We're in this little world now, and we don't know how to get back. You're so powerful, do you have a solution?"
"Uh... well, I don't know. I'm still a little dizzy right now!"
"Okay, you stay in there for now, and I'll figure it out. Is it okay for you to stay in there?"
The big white fish swam lazily: "No problem?"
Gu Liyue stood on the beach, releasing her spiritual sense, wanting to feel if there was anything unusual, but to her surprise, she couldn't feel anything unusual wherever her spiritual sense reached.
What is the purpose of this small world swallowing me and the big white fish coming in?
A cultivator and a spirit beast entered a world where cultivation of immortality was not allowed. Did they want to become the king?
Or do you want to help the people here solve problems that they cannot solve themselves?
Or was it purely the work of the demonic cultivator, trapping himself here and unable to get out?
She used her spiritual sense to call Bai Rui again, but still got no response.
She had no choice but to go back to the yard she rented and found some dried fish hanging on the gate. She took a look and found that they should be the dried fish from San Ya's house.
She picked up the pheasant in the kitchen and walked towards San Ya's house. Since San Ya brought something, she would reciprocate by sending some over.
When she approached San Ya's house, she saw San Ya's family talking in the yard.
San Ya's mother said, "I heard the village chief gave us the money so quickly this time because the big white fish was bought by someone."
Cai Dazhuang replied, "There are many people going out to sea this time, and we will only get 25 coins. What do you think of the arrangement?"
San Ya's mother said, "I want to take Dabao to see a doctor."
Sanya stood by and said, "Dabao's illness is cured."
Dabao also walked out of the room and said, "Dabao's illness is really cured."
Sanya's mother looked at Dabao and simply agreed, "Yes, yes, Dabao's illness is cured."
Cai Dazhuang knew that San Ya's mother was just trying to fool the children. In his opinion, Dabao's condition was not that bad and he should have recovered from his illness.
Gu Liyue walked over and called out, "Sanya, thank you for the dried fish. This is a pheasant I hunted in the forest this morning. I'm giving it to your family."
San Ya's mother opened the gate and let Gu Liyue in. She said, "How can you be so embarrassed? Those little dried fish are not worth anything."
Cai Dazhuang asked, "Can you hunt the pheasants in the mountains?"
"Is it difficult to hunt?" Gu Liyue asked.
Cai Dazhuang widened his eyes. He found it incredible that Gu Liyue, a weak woman, could hunt wild animals.
Gu Liyue handed the pheasant to Sanya. Sanya looked at her parents and didn't dare to take it. Gu Liyue had no choice but to put the pheasant on the ground and said, "I also hunted a wild rabbit. I can't finish it by myself. I'm worried it will go bad."
Cai Dazhuang murmured, "I even caught a hare."
He looked at the plump pheasants on the ground and imagined that if he could hunt prey, his family would not have to go hungry.
Sanya glanced at the pheasant on the ground, then hurried into the house and brought two stools for Gu Liyue to sit on. "Sister Gu, please sit down."
Gu Liyue looked at Cai Dazhuang's tall figure and felt that hunting should not be difficult for him.
"Dad Sanya, is it difficult to hunt wild animals in that mountain?"
Cai Dazhuang said, "For more than ten years, no one in our village has hunted a single one. Otherwise, why would everyone go out to sea? I just didn't expect Miss Gu to be so capable as to hunt one."
Gu Liyue half-jokingly said, "Maybe it's because I can't go out to sea. Is there something wrong with this mountain?"
Cai Dazhuang said, "No one knows the reason. You can see wild animals in the mountains, but you can't catch them no matter what. The village chief said it might be the mountain gods protecting the animals, so over time, no one wants to catch them anymore."
Gu Liyue thought that this was an anomaly, but she didn't know whether it was a trap set by the people here or if this place was just like this.
"Is there anything special about this mountain?"
Cai Dazhuang thought for a while and said, "I didn't find anything else unusual."
Gu Liyue recalled that she didn't feel anything unusual when she went up the mountain in the morning!
It seems that I have to go into the mountain again to take a look.
At night, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and the moonlight spread to the earth. Gu Liyue locked the door and came to the foot of the mountain. Her cultivation in the Nascent Soul stage allowed her to see the surrounding scenery clearly with just the faint moonlight.
She did not teleport, but walked slowly from the foot of the mountain to the top, observing her surroundings as she walked.
The mountains at night seem particularly mysterious. They wrap themselves in the cloak of night, like a girl in a secluded boudoir, not allowing people to see them clearly.
