Clang! Clang! Two long swords suddenly came out of their sheaths, shining brightly. A series of sharp eyes instantly locked onto Zhang Yuan, with a strong sense of warning. Zhang Yuan believed that if he made any unusual moves at this time, it would inevitably attract the thundering blow of these disciples of the Punishment Hall. But he was fearless and stood at the stern without changing his expression. A disciple of the Punishment Hall with a horse face asked in a deep voice: "Brother Lu, what did you find?" "No, nothing." As a result, the guy in charge of checking the live water tank replied somewhat embarrassedly: "It was this brother Zhang who caught a big fish, a very big carp!" He was just surprised by what he had never seen before, and he almost made a mistake. Hearing that it was just a carp, the tense atmosphere immediately dissipated.
The two disciples of the Punishment Hall put away their goose feather knives calmly. Their reaction was obviously a bit excessive. Zhang Yuan didn't care, pretending to be curious and asked: "Brother, are you checking the white dragon loach?" The horse-faced disciple nodded: "Yes, the captain has issued a strict order that the white dragon loach is not allowed to flow out of the Tianma River, so no matter whether it is an outsider or a brother, as long as they fish in the river, they must be checked!" The matter of the white dragon loach has long been spread, and he is not surprised how Zhang Yuan knew about it. "Junior brother Zhang, if you catch a white dragon loach, you must take the initiative to hand it over." "The captain will reward you handsomely!" Zhang Yuan shook his head and replied: "I plan to seal the boat and hang the net during this period." He looked at the river bay behind: "With so many fishing boats, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch any small fish in the future!" The horse-faced disciple touched his nose and said nothing. The two disciples of the Punishment Hall quickly searched Zhang Yuan's black-sailed boat, and naturally did not find the white dragon loach. "Junior brother Zhang, sorry to bother you." The horse-faced disciple simply packed up the team and left. He ran to check other fishing boats. To be honest, Zhang Yuan didn't think such a high-profile inspection would have any effect. Everyone is not a fool. Even if they really catch the white dragon loach, they don't have to put it in the fishing boat before they can take it away. The truth is that this approach can easily cause others to be disgusted, or even fight back. Cause all kinds of disputes! At the same time, Zhang Yuan didn't think that the helmsman Wei Changfeng was a fool. It was estimated that this fourth-level true qi warrior had other purposes.
But these were not what he, a small preparatory disciple, should care about! Rowing the black-sailed boat, Zhang Yuan returned to the dock. He first parked the fishing boat, then took a large wooden barrel and put it in the carp in the live water tank. The big carp had already awakened and struggled violently, splashing countless water. But no matter how strong it was, it was still easily suppressed by Zhang Yuan. And when Zhang Yuan came to the fish market with the fish barrel, it caused a sensation as expected. "What a big carp!" "King Carp!" "Oh my god, this is at least thirty kilograms, right?" "I think it's more than thirty kilograms!" "Forty kilograms!" Many fishermen and fishmongers came to watch the excitement, and they were all amazed. Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Name a price." If it was an ordinary fish, he would just sell it to the dealer at the market price. He is a disciple of the Wrathful Whale Gang, and he has Chen Zhize as his backer. Unless the fishmongers are very brave, no one dares to cheat him. But this carp is of the best quality, it can be called the king level, so Zhang Yuan sold it by bidding. This is also completely in line with the practice of the fish market. "Ten taels, I'll give ten taels of silver!" "Twelve taels." "Fifteen!" The dealers who have been in the fish market for many years are all very smart. Although this big carp is rare, they can estimate the approximate weight and identify its quality at a glance. Of course, they can also calculate the profit accurately. After a short and fierce competition, a fishmonger finally won the carp king for a high price of 19 taels. In fact, when Zhang Yuan first caught this big carp, he thought about offering it as a sacrifice in exchange for source quality. However, he already owed Chen Zhize 100 taels of silver, and planned to seal the boat for a while. This way of spending without earning anything is definitely not a long-term solution. So after thinking about it, he decided to sell it.
After selling the fish, Zhang Yuan returned to the fishing boat and sorted out all the fishing gear. Finally, he covered it with a tarpaulin. He stopped his fishing life. But when the storm of the white dragon loach subsided, he would restart the fishing boat and continue this promising job. In the next few days, Zhang Yuan still went out early and returned late every day. He devoted all his time to martial arts practice, rock pile skills, Jingtao palm, wave-cutting knife, Lingbo step... No matter how fierce the outside world was, Zhang Yuan was always immersed in martial arts. This feeling of making progress every day and improving his strength bit by bit really made him addicted! However, as time went by, the impact of the white dragon loach not only did not weaken, but intensified. Every time Zhang Yuan went home, he could feel the increasingly tense atmosphere in the county. There were many more patrol officers on the streets, and the number of all kinds of people in the underworld was also increasing. Members of the Tiger Gang appeared frequently in his sight. Although the real bloody conflict had not yet occurred, Zhang Yuan felt that it was coming soon. This made him much more vigilant. That day, Zhang Yuan was practicing swordsmanship in the practice room, and suddenly he had an idea. He turned around and saw Dong Yuanwei standing at the door looking at him with unclear meaning in his eyes. Zhang Yuan quickly put down his weapon and saluted: "Master!" Dong Yuanwei nodded and said, "Come with me." Although Zhang Yuan didn't know why, he still followed the Zhantang instructor out of the practice room. Arrive at the Dragon Temple! The most magnificent and magnificent building in the Whale Castle is this palace dedicated to the Dragon God. Just as the common people in the county believe in the city god, people who make a living on the water generally respect the dragon god. Everyone believes that the Dragon God will protect them from strange things and ensure smooth sailing and smooth sailing. Although the Dragon Temple in Whale Castle is not large, it is full of internal organs and full of incense. A statue with a dragon head and body stands on the lotus platform, wearing a high crown and dragon robe, full of majesty. In front of the statue, Zhao Jinlan, the deputy leader of the war hall, and a white-haired old man stood impressively. "Hall Master Zhao." Dong Yuanwei saluted Zhao Jinlan and said, "Zhang Yuan brought it." Zhang Yuan quickly followed and saluted: "Disciple Zhang Yuan, I have met Hall Master Zhao!"
"No gift." Zhao Jinlan smiled slightly and said: "Zhang Yuan, Professor Dong said that you are very talented and hard-working, and you have mastered the introductory martial arts of my Raging Whale Gang earlier than other new disciples." "And he has achieved success in his studies. He is a real talent." The charming lady paused, then continued: "So after his recommendation, you are allowed to pass the gang entrance examination in advance and become an official disciple of my war hall." "Congratulations!"
