Chapter 5: Dead Fish and the Eight Consecutive Strikes, Stirring Up Trouble for Daoists Today!

After passing through the cemetery, Zhang Beixuan arrived at the banks of a river, which was more than ten meters wide and shimmered in the moonlight. He found a natural fishing spot hidden among the reeds and took a moment to stretch and assess the surroundings.

“The wind speed is just right. Humidity is good,” he muttered to himself with a satisfied nod.

“The width of the river is perfect. Looks like tonight is the night for catching big fish! Tomorrow’s sour fish stew is secured.”

Zhang Beixuan set up his fishing gear, including a small folding stool, and began preparing his bait with practised ease. As he saw bubbles rising in the spot where he had placed the bait, he attached it to the hook. With a quick flick, he cast his line into the water. Under the dark moon and the rustling of the wind, it was the perfect time for an angler to enjoy the tranquillity. As he sat on his stool, Zhang Beixuan leisurely pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Not even halfway through the cigarette, his eyes lit up. It seemed like a fish was biting!

Without hesitation, Zhang Beixuan swiftly pulled the rod. The fishing rod bent like a full moon in an instant, and the fishing line emitted a sharp, tense sound.

“It snapped?” Zhang Beixuan exclaimed with excitement.

Immediately, a grass carp measuring several tens of centimetres was yanked out of the water and landed in the nearby reeds. Zhang Beixuan grabbed the grass carp and saw the large fish still hooked on the line emitting a strong, putrid odor. The entire fish had already decayed and died for some time but had bitten the hook cleanly.

In the fishing world, there was a saying: “Dying with the hook in the mouth, legs off the ground!” It was considered highly inauspicious.

However, Zhang Beixuan seemed to have anticipated this outcome. He chuckled and removed the dead fish, tossing it at his feet.

“You’re quite mischievous, playing tricks with Daoist me. Let’s see how many more you can hook for me today.”

Zhang Beixuan, without haste, baited the hook again and casually cast it back into the water. It had only been in the water for tens of seconds this time. The fishing line rapidly sank once more.

Swoosh!

As soon as the hook hit the water, the float immediately submerged. Without surprise, another dead fish was hooked. Zhang Beixuan remained patient. After all, there was still plenty of time. The joy of fishing was something ordinary people might find hard to understand. In a short while, many fish had accumulated at his feet. Without exception, they had all met various unusual ends.

“I’m curious to see what tricks you’ll play this time.”

Zhang Beixuan lit another cigarette and silently waited. He could make a hundred mistakes as long as he succeeded once.

Swoosh!

As Zhang Beixuan’s words fell, the fishing line again submerged rapidly. An overwhelming force almost instantly broke the entire fishing rod.

Creak…

At this critical moment, a golden light flashed in Zhang Beixuan’s hand, transforming into a golden thread that plunged into the water.

“Finally, I’ve been waiting for you,” Zhang Beixuan smirked.

“Come out!”

With a sudden pull of the long golden line in his hand, he summoned an explosion on the water’s surface. A massive, pitch-black entity was lifted up by Zhang Beixuan, crashing onto the shore. It let out a howl of pain. For an ordinary person, hearing such a scream in the middle of the night would be terrifying enough to send them into shock. However, Zhang Beixuan remained calm.

“You’re all here. Why don’t you get up?” He nonchalantly said.

As his words landed, the screaming ceased instantly. In the next moment, a wavering figure slowly rose from the grass. Soaked and swollen from the water, this woman stared at him with a sinister look. Her gaze roamed over him.

“You have some nerve…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Zhang Beixuan intervened. Under the moonlight, the woman gazed upon Zhang Beixuan’s face, and suddenly her eyes lit up as if she had discovered a rare treasure. Her grip on him tightened, and her expression changed dramatically.

“Such a handsome young man, just my type,” she cooed.

Zhang Beixuan: “??”

He, who had been ready to strike, was utterly bewildered by her words.

What was going on here? A handsome young man? And she liked this type?

She was a female corpse! She should be into corpses too!

“Hehe, young man, why are you staring at me like that? Are you planning to take advantage of the darkness and do something to me?”

Her voice held a strange power as if it could bewitch the minds of those who heard it.

Zhang Beixuan: “…”

How on earth could someone so ghastly-looking say something so utterly inappropriate?
