Chapter 523 Clues
"Old man, thank you very much. If you hadn't told me about such a place, I don't know how long it would take me to find such a suitable place." Naturally, Yang Jing would not be stingy with respect and praise for this kind of help. words.

The old man waved his hands with a smile and said: "My old man is 59 this year, but he has lived on this big river for 56 years! When I was three years old, I got on the boat with my father, and when I was six years old, I started helping my family fish , It can be said that I have lived on this big river all my life. Even if the dam in front was built more than 20 years ago, and the water here began to be stored, I have lived on this reservoir for more than 20 years. Naturally, every inch of the place here Familiar with them all. It’s not my old man. If you want to find a place here, there is no one that my old man doesn’t know. It doesn’t matter whether it’s above the water or below the water.”

The old man spoke with great confidence, like a carpenter is to Master Luban, and programming is to Brother Gates. Obviously this old man is really familiar with this place.

The little guy next to him also shouted loudly: "And me! I go fishing with my grandfather every week during the holidays, and I am very familiar with this place!"

The old man touched the little guy's head affectionately, smiled and did not refute, obviously he loved this grandson very much.

Hearing what the father and son said, Yang Jing's heart moved, and he said immediately: "Old man, can you sell the carp kidnapper you called up?"

"Sell it. If we don't sell it, we can't bear to eat it for ourselves. This thing costs more than 100 catties now!" The old man was taken aback for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.Fishing here all day long, he certainly understood what the young man in front of him meant when he asked this sentence.

Authentic Yellow River carps are basically unavailable in the market now. Fishmongers come to collect fish every day in their area. As long as there are authentic Yellow River carps, the current purchase price has reached [-] catties. As for How much these fishmongers sell out is beyond the old man's ability to know.

Of course, if he happens to catch Yellow River carp and meets tourists again, the old man will also sell them to tourists at the price bought by fishmongers.It's all the same money, whoever you sell it to is not a sale.

"What? Do you want to buy it?" the old man asked with a smile.

Yang Jing nodded and said: "My family is from Lu Province. When I was a child, I once ate Yellow River carp in Qihe on the bank of the Yellow River. Since then, I have never eaten authentic Yellow River carp. So I saw that you bought three Li Guaizi, I'm so hungry here."

The old man laughed loudly, "Young man, the price that those fishmongers charge for carp kidnappers is one hundred and sixty-one catties, and I won't ask you for more money, so I will win at this price. I have three here, one five Half a catty, one is seven catties and four taels, one is a little more than ten catties, and I can count ten catties for you, which one do you want? Or do you want them all?"

Yang Jing leaned the boat onto the old man's fishing boat, thought for a while and said, "Old man, after I buy the fish, I can eat it myself. I can't even eat the fish that are too big."

The old man nodded and said: "Well, that's true. In fact, the bigger the carp, the better the taste. The most delicious carp is between three and five catties. You can buy this small one, this fish Five and a half catties, eight hundred and eight."

"Hey, this number is auspicious, but I don't have any change here, old man, I'll make up the whole amount for such a good fish! Perfect is not bad, what do you think?" Yang Jing said while taking out From the wallet, I clicked out ten red and red Grandpa Mao and handed it over.

"Hey, how did this happen? My old man can't charge you more money! Wait, I'll find it for you."

"Forget it, old man, it's not easy for your father and son to come out to fish in such a cold day. Besides, the price is already very cheap. This is the authentic Yellow River carp, which can't be bought even if you have money outside. I know this. So, you don’t need to worry about this little money, it’s still worth it for me. And I have to stay here for a long time, why don’t you give me a bucket and a net bag, If I put the fish in, at least it won’t die.”

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Come on, just do as you said. I have an extra bucket here, I gave it to you, you fill half of the bucket with water, put this carp kidnapper into the net bag and then put it into the bucket , I guarantee you that the fish will be fine for a long time."

As the old man said, he picked up a plastic bucket with a diameter of [-] centimeters, bent down and scooped up half of the bucket of water in the lake, and then fished out the still alive and kicking Yellow River carp from the water tank. Just threw it into the bucket.

The half bucket of water and the fish weighed more than 30 catties, close to [-] catties, but the old man lifted the bucket as easily as if he was lifting five or six catties.

Yang Jing took the bucket with one hand, gave a thumbs up with the other hand and said, "Old man, your strength is really not small, I think there are very few people who can match your strength even if you are young." of."

The old man smiled proudly, "You're right. My old man fishes all day long. When there were plenty of fish in the past, the net would weigh a hundred and eighty catties. I'm the only one who manages it. myself."

Seeing Yang Jing put the bucket on the corner of the speedboat, the old man said again: "You'd better add something heavy to cover it. These wild carp kidnappers are very strong, even with a net bag, they will flop around in the bucket It can also splash a lot of water. So, you better add something heavy."

Yang Jing nodded, and put his waterproof backpack directly on it.

Even if a transaction is completed in this way.But judging from the scene, the empty lake in the early morning, a hand-cranked fishing boat and a speedboat, if viewed from a distance, this scene looks like the scene of smugglers meeting in the movie.

Yang Jing took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two, and handed one of them to the old man.Just now he saw the old man smoking dry tobacco, so he knew that the old man smoked.

The old man took it with a smile, looked at the cigarette label under the cigarette holder, and said in surprise: "Oh, it's the golden leaf Tianye! This is a good cigarette, 100 yuan a box, right?"

Yang Jing nodded, and the old man cheerfully took out a disposable lighter and lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, "Oh, the taste is very mellow, but it's boring."

Yang Jing smiled and said: "Old man, what you smoke is dry tobacco, this cigarette is not as strong as your dry tobacco."

The old man smiled wryly and shook his head.

Yang Jing also took a puff of cigarette, and then asked: "Old man, since you are so familiar with this neighborhood, I'll ask you for a place, do you know?"

"Let's talk, as long as it's in the vicinity, there's nothing my old man doesn't know about."

"Okay, old man, I want to ask you, do you know that there is a Taoist temple called Yuecheng Temple near here?"

"Yuecheng Temple?" The old man frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "I have no impression. I said young man, are you sure that the Taoist temple is called by this name?"

"That's right, that's the name."

"That's not right. Counting those submerged in the water, there are a total of seventeen Taoist temples within a radius of a hundred miles. My old man has been to all of them, but I have never heard of a Taoist temple called Yuecheng Temple."

When Yang Jing heard that the old man had even mentioned the number of Taoist temples within a radius of a hundred miles, he knew that the old man was not talking nonsense. "Old man, this Yuecheng Temple has an old name. I read it from an ancient book. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, that Taoist temple was called Yuecheng Temple."

"Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms? That's not more than 1000 years ago? There are indeed thousand-year Taoist temples in the depths of Luoyang in the south or Wangwu Mountain in the north, but they are near here." The old man shook his head, "The inheritance here is not as long. The Taoist concept of time. As for the underwater, I don’t have any impression. After all, the reservoir has been storing water for more than 20 years, and I can’t remember some old things from before.”

"Okay then," Yang Jing said with some disappointment.In fact, Yang Jing didn't have any hope of getting clues about the Yuecheng Temple. From the painting, it can be seen that the Yuecheng Temple back then was really not a Taoist temple, nor was it in Luoyang City or Zhongnan Mountain. It is difficult for a large-scale Taoist temple in a famous Taoist mountain like Wangwushan to maintain a thousand-year inheritance for such a small-scale Taoist temple.

At this time, the sun in the east has jumped to the horizon. Because of the sunshine, the layer of mist covering the lake has begun to dissipate quickly, and today looks like a good weather again.

"Old man, let's do it like this. The sun is out, and I'm going to take pictures at the location you just mentioned. Thank you, old man, for your carp." Then, Yang Jing waved at the old man and the young lady, After twisting the throttle on the handle, I was about to speed up and leave here.

Xiaozheng smiled and waved his hand and said "goodbye, uncle." The old man just waved his hand and didn't speak, but his frown showed that the old man seemed to be thinking about something.

Yang Jing adjusted the bow of the boat, and just about to speed up, he heard the old man behind him shout: "Young man, wait a moment!"

The old man's voice was very loud, and the sound of the engine did not overwhelm the old man's voice.

Yang Jing let go of the throttle handle in his hand, and looked back at the old man suspiciously.

The old man shook his hand twice, and after getting close to Yang Jing, he said: "Young man, I thought about it just now, and I vaguely remember that there seems to be a small Taoist temple next to Songjia Village with a long history, but I broke it down when I was a child. When the Taoist temple was smashed, the Taoist priests inside were also driven away. Later, the Taoist temple remained empty for several years. After it was re-opened, a few Taoist priests came to reopen the Taoist temple. Taoist temple, but when the reservoir was filled with water, this Taoist temple and Songjia Village were all under the water, so that Taoist temple moved away again."

After a pause, the old man said with certainty: "Before the Songjia Village and the Taoist temple were submerged, it was in the area I just told you where you can see the sixteen peaks of Daimei."
