Chapter 31 Perfection
"Little Mouse's craftsmanship is getting better and better. Old man, I have been fishing for half my life, and I have long been tired of eating fish. So I can eat the fish made by Little Mouse."
Feng Boping laughed loudly, flicked his sleeves, and took the lead to sit on the big stone beside the pot. With a move of his hand, cups and jade chopsticks appeared in his palm like a flower.
Although he and Li Muxiu have similar auras, they are somewhat different from each other. Feng Boping is quite obsessive and loves beautiful jade. Even the bowls and chopsticks for eating and drinking are luxurious, which is not inferior to that of the royal family in the imperial court.
He handed Li Hao a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks with a smile, but ignored Li Muchiu and waited quietly for the pot to start.
Li Hao estimated that it was almost time, so he took off the lid and placed it on the leaves aside. The fragrant smell immediately rushed out. He ignored the old-age and cherish-the-young attitude and just stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the meat.
"Good guys, wait for me."
Li Muchiu rushed over, grabbed a branch and kneaded it into chopsticks, then inserted it into the pot and started stirring.
Although Feng Boping was a germaphobe, he didn't say anything to Li Muchiu's move. Li Hao felt that this was probably the feeling of a lifelong best friend.
The three of them feasted happily. Although there was a big age gap, neither of them acted like they were elders in front of Li Hao. Sometimes you would call me a little thing and I would call you an old man, showing off their spontaneity.
"I didn't expect that the fish meat could be used in various ways for you." Li Muchiu sighed in admiration after taking a sip of the spicy soup.
Li Hao smiled, that's not true. In the past six months, his self-taught painting and cooking have steadily improved, reaching the second level.
The same goes for fishing trails.
There is probably a protective period for novices. In the first month, he had a very high rate of catching fish, but now it is rare to catch them. Sometimes he even stays up until midnight, so he has no choice but to find a shallow water and find a fish monster in the Tongli realm to catch, to avoid The Air Force returned.
While he was talking, Li Hao suddenly glanced at the fish bladder and saw that he was gently tapping the water.
There's movement!
He quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and rushed to the fishing rod with a cat's face. At this moment, the fish bladder suddenly sank to the bottom of the water.
Li Hao quickly lifted the hook and pulled the line, and the other end suddenly tightened. A huge force was felt, and there was a huge movement under the water.
"This kid..."
When the two elders saw it, there was a trace of greed in their eyes, and they actually let this kid open his door first.
Soon, the movement under the water became louder and louder, and a monster emerged from the water. It was not a fish monster, but a shrimp monster covered in carapace!
The body is four to five meters long, with sharp spines all over its body, and its claws are ferocious enough to pinch off rocks.
At this moment, the shrimp demon was clamping the fishing line with pliers, and stared at Li Hao on the shore with his protruding eyes. When he saw that it was a little baby, he screamed with anger, but was also extremely frightened. How could a wild child be like this? strength?
He struggled harder and harder, but the fishing line was found by Li Muchiu for Li Hao. It was invulnerable to water and fire, and could bear a million pounds of force. It was something that the ordinary Zhou Tian Realm shrimp monster could not destroy.
Soon, under drag, the body of the shrimp demon slowly approached the shore. Its eyes showed a struggle as it considered whether to injure itself and escape from the hook.
At this moment, Li Hao's body on the shore was shaking, as if he could not hold the fishing rod steady.
"Um?"
Seeing this, the shrimp demon hesitated again.
After some pulling, the shrimp demon felt that this child was only half a point ahead of him. If he hadn't been injured by the fishhook, he might not be his opponent.
It rolled its eyes and tried to drag Li Hao into the water, but Li Hao managed to stabilize his body every time.
Finally, after some pulling, the shrimp demon was pulled painfully. Unable to bear it, it became ferocious, screamed and rushed up to the fishing platform, intending to pinch off the ignorant evil boy and crush it to death.
But as it came ashore, the child, who had been swaying before, suddenly stood firm, with a bright smile of relief on his face.
not good!
Just when the shrimp demon realized that something was wrong, suddenly, the huge force from the fishhook pulled its unbalanced body in the air and flew towards the opponent suddenly.
There was a crackling sound, and there seemed to be silver light passing by. What was it? It was so bright?
The next moment, the shrimp demon knew nothing, and the world returned to darkness.
A huge shrimp head rolled down. Li Hao casually inserted his sword into the ground next to him, then dragged its body and threw it not far from the stove. He said to the two elders: "It's a pity that I didn't take the bait earlier, otherwise I would give it to you at noon." Add some shrimp paste.”
Seeing Li Hao kill the Zhou Tian Realm shrimp monster so easily, the two elders smiled. They had hidden their aura before, so the shrimp monster didn't notice them and gained the courage.
Li Hao threw down the bait again and continued to eat and drink with the bowls and chopsticks.
"This monster of the ninth level of Zhou Tian Realm was killed so easily by you. Your Li family's Dragon River Divine Meridian must have also been cultivated to a small degree." Feng Boping said with a smile.
Li Hao did not deny it.
Is it a small success? It has been completed.
…
…
After the daily fishing, when the sun was setting, Li Hao said goodbye to the Second Master and the Thief Saint. He heard that the Thief Saint said that he had to go on a far journey and would be away for half a month.
Apparently, another treasure has been stolen somewhere.
Li Muxiu had already gotten used to it, said goodbye with a smile, and took Li Hao back to the Divine General's Mansion.
Now that Li Hao was interested in fishing, Li Muchiu did not take him to follow the "traditional rules" of fishing and went directly back to Tingyu Tower.
Outside the building, Li Fu was waiting here as usual, but this time there was a young maid next to him, who was Xuejian from Changchun Yuan.
Seeing an old man and a young man returning, Xue Jian couldn't help but take a look at Li Hao.
I have heard for a long time that this second master has a weird temperament. Many wives in the courtyard want to send their children to him to teach him a thing or two, but he ignores everyone. He never expected that he would be like a martial arts waste like Li Hao. So close.
With this thought in his mind, Xue Jian's gentle face showed nothing, he smiled toothily and stepped forward to explain his purpose.
It turned out that the aunt He Jianlan thought that Li Hao had learned physical training for a long time, and wanted Li Hao to enter the martial arts field and practice with the children of the family.
Naturally, Li Fu had already heard the news from Xuejian. When she spoke, an eager smile appeared on her face, and she wanted to nod in agreement for Li Hao.
But Li Hao and Li Muchiu looked at each other and laughed.
Li Muxiu knew that Li Hao would be pestered if he refused even if he spoke lightly, so he waved his hand and said: "Little guy, just stay with me and have my guidance. It's a waste of time to go to the martial arts field."
The old man murmured in his heart, if you let this kid go to the martial arts arena, wouldn't that be bullying?
The children of the family in the martial arts field are at the Zhoutian level at most, and those with higher talents are apprenticed to famous mountains, or join the army.
Let a little monster like Li Hao, who casually kills demons at the ninth level of the Zhoutian Realm, go to the martial arts field. What's the difference between punching the old and young, or kicking women and children?
Hearing the old man's refusal, Li Fu and Xuejian became anxious.
But Xue Jian seemed to have expected these remarks, and immediately spoke gently, saying that he only needed to go to the martial arts field to practice for a while in the morning, and the main purpose was to let Li Hao compete with his peers, hone his practical experience, etc.
Li Fu nodded repeatedly beside him, yes, yes.
Although he could get the best guidance by following his second uncle, he was worried that the old man would lead Li Hao astray. After all, his second uncle was strong, but he seemed a bit... not doing his job properly.
He had never seen Li Hao talk to his second uncle about cultivation. Instead, they talked about which fish to catch and how to pull the hook, and they talked with great interest...
Moreover, even for a famous master like the Sword Master, his disciples must learn from each other with people in the same realm, otherwise they will be slow to comprehend the teachings on paper.
Li Muchiu rolled his eyes slightly when he heard Xuejian's words. Can fighting with those little guys in the family compare to fighting with the fish monster while fishing?
You must know that fishing for monsters in the Zhoutian Realm is not just a matter of physical strength. These fish monsters have gained spiritual wisdom and know the danger. They would rather tear their bodies apart than break the hook to escape. When it comes to the demons in the Jihun Realm, it will be even harder to catch them. .
Simply put, fishing is a comprehensive technical activity, involving wits, concealment and disguise, showing weakness, confrontation of strength, etc.
Because of this, the old man has been obsessed with it for half his life, and he is still obsessed with it to this day.
After refusing, the old man feigned anger and beat the person if he mentioned it again. Xuejian and Li Fucai had no choice but to accept it.
Li Hao put the fishing gear in Tingyu Tower and returned to the courtyard with Li Fu. On the way, they learned that Yan Bei had sent a letter back. Their eyes lit up and they hurried to Changchun Courtyard.
A letter from home was in He Jianlan's hand. She was sitting in the main hall with a luxurious and dignified manner.
"The military pay in Tiangang is insufficient. I have to go to court tomorrow..." He Jianlan had thoughts in his eyes.
At this moment, Li Hao and Li Fu rushed in. Li Fu still had reason and knew the rules, but Li Hao had already barged in without permission. He tried to pull him away, but failed, so he could only rush in recklessly. .
When he saw He Jianlan's gaze, the man looked slightly embarrassed and quickly bowed to apologize.
"Did they send it?" Li Hao asked quickly.
He Jianlan's eyes turned to Li Hao. When he smelled the faint smell of water, he knew that Li Hao had just returned from fishing with his second uncle.
Seeing Li Hao's expectant eyes, He Jianlan didn't care about the child's recklessness and nodded slightly.
"Then...what did you say?" Li Hao looked forward to it.
He Jianlan was slightly startled, and a trace of pity could not help but appear in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared and she said warmly:
"It's the military report from the Yanbei side. Your father said that they just killed a group of monsters and there is still a problem of food and grass."
She didn't elaborate. After all, it was military affairs.
"Then were they in danger? Did they mention me?" Li Hao asked.
He Jianlan's fingers holding the letter tightened slightly. She nodded and said with a smile:
"Your parents took care of me, giving you more food, and asking you not to work too hard. They also asked me what you had eaten recently, whether you had been infected with cold, and whether you listened to your elders..."
Li Hao listened to the aunt's words silently and said, "Can you read the letter to me? I can read it."
He Jianlan folded the letter and shook his head slightly: "No, there are military affairs here, and you are still young."
"All right."
Li Hao could only agree, and then said: "Then I'll trouble you to write back to them for me, and tell them that I have good food and drink, my cooking skills are great, I can make delicious food myself, and I practice physical training and am strong." , I won’t catch the cold, and it’s not hard to go fishing with the second master all day long. The second master treats me very well and praises my cooking skills. When they come back, I will let them try it too.”
"Moreover, let them take care of themselves and don't worry about me. I am safe in the General's Mansion. I have my second master and my aunt to support me, and no one will bully me."
