Chapter 393 Yu Ziyou

A scholar was boating in the sea. In the middle of the night, a high mountain appeared from the sea. A young man, Confucian, stepped on the water and said, "The last name is Yu, and the name is Ziyou." Xiucai invited him to drink, but the teenager did not refuse. Talking to each other, the teenager talks elegantly.

The two of them exchanged cups and didn't realize that time was passing by. The teenager got up and was ready to leave. Xiucai asked, "Who is Brother Yu? The night is dark, where are you going?" The teenager said, "I'm not a local resident. As Tomb-sweeping Day is approaching, he followed the king out to sweep the tomb. The family has taken the lead on the road. The king has stayed here to rest for the time being. He is scheduled to leave tomorrow. I have to go back and pack some luggage. The scholar did not know who the king was. He sent the teenager to the bow and saw him swimming in the water.

The scholar suddenly realized that the teenager was not a human, but a fish demon. The next day, the peaks of the sea floated and fell into the water in an instant. The scholar thought for a minute and finally understood that the mountain is a big fish, which is the king.

In the early years of Kangxi, on the seaside of Lai County, the tide rushed out of a big fish, trapped on the beach, and it was difficult to get out. It howled for days and died of lack of water. When the people nearby heard the news, they came to cut the meat. The dead fish is one mu in size, and the shark fin and tail are intact, but there are no eyes. The eyes are empty, as deep as an ancient well, filled with sea water. When some people cut meat, they accidentally fell into their eyes and were drowned by the sea in an instant. Someone said, "When the dragons in the sea banish big fish, they always dig out their eyes in advance, because the big fish's eyes are very precious, and they are the pearls of the night."
