Chapter 360: Are golden scales just a thing in a pond? They turn into dragons when encountering storms [6,000 words, two updates, please give me your monthly vote!]

This turtle is only in the Golden Core realm, how can he become the river god in this big river?

"No, no, sir, the little turtle is just a subordinate of the River God, he doesn't even have a title." The turtle demon explained quickly.

"I'm calling the River God, why are you here?" Zhou He said expressionlessly.

"My lord, please forgive me. Our river god went out to visit friends a few days ago and has not returned yet." The turtle demon replied.

"Going out to visit friends?" Zhou He didn't believe it.

"Yes, sir, I have gone out to visit friends. What can I do for you? If the little turtle can do it, I will definitely help you with all my money." said the turtle demon.

After Zhou He pondered for a moment, he said, "What's your name?"

"The little turtle's name is Kame Chitose." Kame Chitose said.

"Kame Chitose, that's a good name. Where did the river god go to visit his friends?" Zhou He asked again.

"Lord River God didn't tell Little Turtle." Turtle Chitose said.

"Forget it, since you don't want to say anything, I'll just watch it myself." Zhou He suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped Kame Chitose on the head.

The next moment, Kame Chitose froze on the spot.

After a while, Zhou He slowly took back his hand and frowned slightly: "I actually went out to visit friends."

"Sir, Little Turtle really didn't lie." Turtle Chitose came to his senses and was so frightened that he knelt down on the river.

The person in front of him can search his memory without hurting his soul. He is definitely a big shot that cannot be messed with.

Even if his master, the River God, comes, he must bow respectfully.

"Hurry and give me something that your river god often uses. Remember, don't fool me." Zhou He said.

"Yes, yes, little turtle is going now."

The thousand-year-old turtle did not dare to delay and quickly sank into the water.

Within three minutes, Kame Chitose floated to the surface of the river again, holding a teacup in his hand.

"Sir, this teacup is the teacup that Lord River God often uses to drink tea. Is it okay?" Kame Chitose said.

"But, it's none of your business, go down."

Zhou He flicked his sleeves and disappeared.

Kame Chitose was left standing alone on the river, with the teacup in his hand disappearing.

…

Zhou He's figure appeared on the shore.

Looking at the tea cup in his hand, he immediately thought about it and recited the law silently.

The next moment, a thin line invisible to the naked eye appeared and extended into the distance.

This thin line can only be seen by Zhou He. This is the spell he cast to find people.

Zhou He followed the thin line and looked over there, and was suddenly stunned.

I saw that the end of the thin line was actually a few hundred meters away.

"Didn't you say you went to visit a friend?" Zhou He murmured in surprise.

Zhou He walked over and saw a group of people gathered around the river embankment.

And the end of the thin line is in the center of this group of people.

Among the crowd was an old fisherman who was over sixty years old and carrying a bamboo hat.

In front of the old fisherman, there is a large wooden basin.

In the wooden basin, there is a fat golden carp.

The carp was flapping its tail, opening its mouth and spitting out water from time to time.

"This is..." A trace of doubt flashed in Zhou He's eyes.

Because what the thin line connects is the golden carp in this wooden basin.

"I've already closed the net, and I haven't caught much. However, the water suddenly became turbid."

"According to my many years of fishing experience, there must be something big underwater."

"So, the old man dropped the net again, and when he was about to close it, he almost capsized my fishing boat."

"In the end, I pulled it in and caught this big guy." The old fisherman stroked his beard and looked proud.

"Whether it's scales, fins or tail, they are all golden."

"I have been fishing for decades and have never seen anything so rare and precious."

The old fisherman said with emotion.

"It's truly amazing."

"I have been fishing for 20 years, and I have never seen such a catch."

"Yes, I am really lucky."

People on the side started talking one after another.

At this time, someone asked: "My father-in-law, how much do you plan to sell this golden carp for?"

Hearing this, the old fisherman raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raised his throat, and said, "This golden carp weighs about forty pounds, and is covered in gold from top to bottom. It is extremely rare."

"If you keep it at home, give it to the housekeeper, or invite relatives and friends to a birthday party, it will definitely be very honorable."

"Old man, please stop bragging and tell me, how much does it cost?" the man asked again.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm going to sell this golden carp for ten taels of silver."

The old fisherman thought to himself: "Sold for ten taels of silver, I can buy my grandson a wife and a big house."

"hiss!"

When the price was announced, everyone present took a breath of cold air.

This is ten taels of silver, which is a lot of wealth.

The background of "Green Snake" is in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Nowadays, there is no war with the north, so it is considered a peaceful era.

In this era, one tael of silver could buy four stones of grain.

One stone is equivalent to about one hundred and twenty kilograms.

One hundred and twenty kilograms of grain, if you save some.

Enough to feed a family of three for a month.

And four stones, that is four hundred and eighty kilograms.

And the ten taels of silver mentioned by Lao Yi are enough to buy 4,800 kilograms of grain.

If you take it to modern times and calculate it, although it can't be compared, in these ancient times, food was the most important.

"What? Do you look like twelve?"

"Why don't you go and grab it!"

"It's really a lion's mouth. You want ten taels of silver for a fish?"

"Ten taels of silver can buy a luxurious mansion. Isn't this fish inlaid with gold?"

"That's right, that's right, I've seen fish bigger than this. Forty pounds is only over five hundred cents. You're asking for dozens of times more."

"Oh, whoever buys it is a fool."

The onlookers on the side laughed at the old fisherman one after another.

Zhou He looked at the golden carp in the basin and was puzzled.

Obviously, obviously this golden carp is just an ordinary carp.

There is no trace of evil spirit, no trace of aura.

However, the result of his searching technique was this golden carp.

"Is this golden carp the god of this river?" Zhou He's mouth twitched slightly.

"That old turtle, how dare you lie to me? Aren't you afraid that I will peel off his turtle shell?"

"Wait." Suddenly an idea flashed through Zhou He's mind.

He had a guess.

This golden carp should be undergoing a tribulation.

Taoist books record that there are three disasters, nine disasters and ten calamities.

Monsters are naturally no different. In fact, they suffer more disasters than humans.
