Chapter 1462: Tempering the Heart in the Mortal World (VI)

On the banks of the Qingshui River, continuous rain falls from the sky.

Wang Chen took out a cloak and raincoat from the pocket of the big black donkey and put it on, then sat down and continued fishing.

A true fisherman is never afraid of wind or rain.

Suddenly, the goose feather float in the river moved, and Wang Chen quickly picked up the fishing rod.

With a "splash" sound, a big golden carp was pulled out of the water.

It struggled hard, trying to get rid of the hook stuck on its lower lip.

As a result, it fell on the grass by the river with a plop!

Wang Chen smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed the head of the big carp, and then put it into the water-soaked net bag.

Good luck today.

He took the linen cloth and wiped the fishy slime off his hands, then continued fishing.

Soon another carp was caught.

The Qingshui River stretches for hundreds of miles and has never dried up even in years of severe drought. The abundant water not only nourishes the three counties including Qing'an, but the various fish produced in the river also feed a large number of fishermen.

Among them, wild carp is the most delicious. It not only has no muddy and earthy smell, but also has a nourishing effect.

Wang Chen had been fishing in the Qingshui River for nearly a year, and had only caught a few dozen big carps. Unexpectedly, he caught so many carps today that his net bag was soon filled.

He looked at the sky and decided to catch one last fish before leaving.

At this time, Wang Chen did not notice that a shadow quietly emerged from under the water plants only ten feet away from him, and approached him silently.

The huge underwater body inadvertently shook the water surface, and faint spots of tiny scales shone.

A pair of scarlet greedy eyes stared at Wang Chen who was sitting on the river bank.

Beneath the water surface, a whirlpool suddenly appeared.

At this moment, Wang Chen suddenly stretched out his left hand and picked up a stone on the ground.

With a flick of a finger.

laugh!

The small stone suddenly shot out through the air and instantly hit the river water several feet away, immediately causing countless splashes of water.

The shadow lurking under the water sank and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

A streak of dark red blood floated up.

Wang Chen glanced coldly.

It is said that a water monster appeared in the Qingshui River recently. Some fishermen were attacked while fishing in the river, resulting in the destruction of their boat and the death of some people.

There were also many cases of children playing by the river and disappearing.

The county government also sent people to investigate, but could not find out the truth. They just posted a notice to remind everyone to pay attention to safety.

Among the rural folk, rumors about water monsters have a long history. Many of the stories are so absurd and bizarre that it is difficult to judge whether they are true or false.

But Wang Chen can be sure that there is indeed something strange hidden in this Qingshui River.

It just happened to hit his hand.

Although Wang Chen's earth-shaking cultivation has been sealed, this does not hinder the use of his mundane martial arts. If he had not lacked suitable weapons, the water monster that tried to launch a sneak attack would have been doomed.

After this accident, Wang Chen’s last wish could not be realized. He put away his fishing rod and net bag in disappointment and rode his big black donkey back to Qing’an County.

The soldiers guarding the gate were very envious when they saw this: "Wow, Mr. Wang, you are so lucky today!"

There was a large net bag hung on the back of the big black donkey that Wang Chen was riding, and the big carps inside were mouth-watering.

As the most famous fisherman in the past year, these soldiers had known Wang Chen for a long time and were quite polite to him.

"I accept your good advice."

Wang Chen nodded, took out a lively carp from his net and threw it to the other party: "Whoever sees it gets a share."

The soldier hurriedly opened his arms and hugged the carp. His embarrassed appearance made the people around him laugh.

Wang Chen smiled and rode his big black donkey back to Tongluo Lane.

"Teacher, let me do it."

Chen Yijian, who was guarding the entrance to the school, stepped forward and took the heavy net bag: "You caught so many!"

Unlike other students, Chen Yijian was grateful for Wang Chen's kindness to him. In addition to taking care of the family, he also tried his best to find time to help Wang Chen with chores.

For example, cleaning, carrying heavy objects, fetching water, chopping wood, etc.

Seeing that he was nimble and willing to endure hardships, Wang Chen asked him to quit his hard job as a odd job and work as a handyman in the private school.

Chen Yijian was paid an additional one or two taels of silver every month.

Don't underestimate this tael of silver. It can fill the stomachs of Chen Yijian, his mother and his younger brother, and they no longer have to suffer from hunger!

After unloading the catch, Chen Yijian skillfully put the fish in the net bag into three large vats next to the school.

These three large tanks are used for storing water on a daily basis and also serve as fish tanks.

Wang Chen ordered: "Take one back with you."

"Yes."

Chen Yijian bowed respectfully: "Thank you, teacher."

The teenager knew very well that Wang Chen didn't like to be pushed around, so he just took it.

As for the kindness accumulated in daily life, we can only repay it in the future.

Moreover, based on Chen Yijian's understanding of Wang Chen, his teacher would not care about his reward at all.

Wang Chen waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Chen Yijian hesitated for a moment and asked, "Teacher, I want my younger brother to come and study with you, is that okay?"

Chen Yijian's younger brother is three years younger than him and has already reached the age of enlightenment.

But Chen Yijian had never dared to bring it up before, but now that he felt the time was right, he mustered up the courage and said, "In the future, just give me five cents of monthly silver."

"Do I still need this little money?"

Wang Chen laughed dumbly: "Come if you want, but there is no place for him in the school."

"I'll give him my seat."

Chen Yijian answered without hesitation: "I'll just stand outside and listen."

Wang Chen nodded: "Good."

He had met Chen Yijian's younger brother, who was a very clever boy. Although he did not have the aura of a snake or a python like his brother, he was not stupid or ignorant either.

Chen Yijian was overjoyed and immediately bowed down: "Thank you, teacher!"

In fact, he always wanted to call Wang Chen "Master".

But Wang Chen disagreed and treated all students equally in this regard.

Wang Chen held him up with his hands: "No need to be so polite, it's getting dark, you should go home."

After Chen Yichen left, the school became very quiet, even a little lonely.

After dinner, Wang Chen came to the study.

He sat down, lit the oil lamp, picked up a book and flipped through a few pages, and suddenly something came to his mind.

Wang Chen was slightly startled, then put down the book, stood up and walked to the windowsill.

Pushing open the doors and windows, he looked up at the night sky, only to see a bright moon rising into the sky.

People today cannot see the moon of the past, but this moon once shone on the ancients. The ancients and people today are like flowing water, and they all look at the bright moon in the same way!

The cold moonlight fell on Wang Chen's body, as if covering him with a layer of silver frost.

Countless memories sealed in the deepest part of his soul suddenly emerged in Wang Chen's mind.

He stood there for a long time, and was actually a little dazed.
