A group of elderly people with fishing rods in their hands sat in the moat and fished, concentrating on the crowd passing by. Maybe they're the only ones who aren't in the storm.

Quoting the holy city to say that it is not big, but it is also said that it is not small, just walk around casually and it will be dark. The lights are bright, there are still a lot of people, there is a feeling of talent, not talent, God knows how many people this city has accommodated these days, and I believe that there will be more tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, because there are only three days left before the exam.

On the way back to the inn, I saw another person fishing. couldn't help but make Jiang Hai curious and walked up to him.

This is a middle-aged man, wearing a hat and a robe, with a fishing rod hanging in the water, sitting on the ground. There was a bamboo basket next to him, but there were no fish in it, which made Jiang Hai curious. It's not the first time I've seen him, he's been there in the afternoon, and he hasn't caught a fish for so long?

Let Xia Yun go back to the inn first and stand aside, only to find that the person was actually closed.

The wind blows at night and is called a tranquility, which makes people happy, quiet but peaceful. The water surface is sparkling, reflecting the lights of hundreds of schools, looming with the waves. Listen to the waves crashing against the embankment. Jiang Hai also closed his eyes and silently thought about the inner mind of the true qi.

I don't know how long it took, but the angler suddenly opened his eyes and slowly dragged the rod to the shore, which also interrupted the river and sea. He opened his eyes and saw that the man was dragging the rod to the shore, and at last a fish was hooked, and it was evident that the fish was so large that it had dragged the rod into a bow. I don't know if the rod and line are strong, and the tension is so tight that people suspect that it will break in the next moment. Fortunately, there was no imaginary picture, but the man wrapped the fishing line around his arm and dragged the fish to the shore with all his strength. Only then did Jiang Hai see the fish.

This is a big carp, look at the round belly, the tentacles are a foot long, no less than thirty catties. No wonder he can stalemate with an adult for so long, and the man's strength is also amazing, and he can drag these thirty catties of fish ashore with one arm.

The carp went ashore and kept swinging its body, and the fish's mouth opened and closed, tenacious life. The fishtail slapped against the stone and crackled. The man untied the thread from his arm. Pick up the carp. The carp's swinging body has a tendency to make the man unable to hold it, "the little guy is quite strong." The man hugged the fish with his arms and held the fish until he could no longer move, then he freed up one hand to take the hook out of the fish's mouth.

Jiang Hai saw that the hook was not barbed at all, and it was also very powerful, and it could catch fish, could this be the bait?

"Don't be greedy, little one, go ahead and throw the fish into the river. ”

The carp made a splash and disappeared into the moat.

"Senior, what are you?" Jiang Hai was puzzled how this fish could be sold for more than a dozen taels of silver, so he just said that he would lose it.

"This fish is some years old, whether it is killed or sold, it is detrimental to Yin Virtue. The man didn't even look at Jiang Hai, sat down and threw the good bait on the fishing rod into the water, and then closed his eyes again, not knowing whether to rest or what to do.

This is a master, obviously in front of Jiang Hai's eyes, but he can't catch his breath. As if there was no such person. Even if you use your true qi to investigate, it's like a veil of mystery across it. couldn't see through what was inside, and hurriedly withdrew his true qi. No one likes to be spied on, and besides, he is such a strong person. The strong have the dignity of the strong, although the Jianghai exercises are very small and nothing can be detected, but this will make people feel disrespectful. Fortunately, the man didn't react much, his eyes were closed as if he didn't see anything, and his heart was as calm as water.

I didn't expect to know so many masters in one day today, the previous master of the Red Blood Army, the student of the previous Zhulu Academy, and the four students who were admitted exceptionally in his mouth, as well as the mysterious middle-aged man in front of him.

Don't think about it, Jiang Hai just wants to see what other fish the man can catch at the moment. This moat is more than dozens of zhang wide and bottomless, thinking that there should be a lot of fish, so I calmed down and closed my eyes and waited silently.

I don't know how long it took, I felt the noise around me, and when I opened my eyes, there was a fish hooked, and this time it was not as big as last time, and the man easily lifted the fish up. An ordinary crucian carp on the hook was struggling, and it seemed that the man who was up to two catties picked up the fish and untied the hook, and unsurprisingly put the fish into the water, how could such a strong man care about these fish. If you cared, the previous fish king wouldn't let go. That's why his basket is always empty, but he's not catching fish, so what?

Later, a few small fish were caught one after another, but they were all released by him. Jiang Hai saw that he had no sign of stopping, and it was so late that he had to go back to the inn to rest.

Vertical day

Jiang Tao came to the moat again and sat down beside the man, but the man did not move.

This is also reasonable, this is a middle-aged man who doesn't talk much, if he talks a lot to Jiang Hai, it will make Jiang Hai feel strange.

Both of them were relatively speechless, their eyes closed, and since yesterday they had meditated here for a night, their minds had been vigorously refined. Jiang Hai didn't know what caused it, but it was definitely resonating here. So come here to find out.

There is nothing special about the man's daily routine of picking up fish, releasing fish and then waiting. Jiang Hai remembered his every move and then figured it out in his heart. Breaking down every subtle movement of him, it's useless and it's not these, so where is it?

Jiang Hai looked at the man, closed his eyes and remained motionless, like a rock. The abdomen rises and falls regularly, and the breath is calm, as if it is one with the calm water. A fish was hooked, and the man unhurriedly lifted the fish, unhooked it, released the fish, fished, and then sat down and closed his eyes.

That's it, Jiang Hai finally understands where the resonance lies. The law of breath should be a set of advanced mental methods. Now that the throbbing has been captured, all that remains is comprehension. Jiang Hai closed his eyes, silently using his mind, trying the law of men's breath. Call...... Suck..... Call..... Suck..... Relax your body. The heart is like water, and there is nothing in the mind, and there is nothing in the mind, only the sound of even breathing.

Inhale for 2.3 seconds at 0.5 second intervals, then exhale for 2.3 seconds and 0.6 seconds before inhaling. Memorize the rhythm and repeat it to allow your body to get used to it.

It's a little difficult, Jiang Hai will be out of breath for a while, so that one person will suddenly follow the rhythm of another person, and it will be somewhat uncomfortable. Adjust, tune and tune to get used to that feeling and make it your own rhythm. It takes time, and Jiang Hai has a day, so there is no hurry.

After going through an unknown number of failures, I finally succeeded. Inhale for 2.3 seconds and intervals of 0.5 seconds, exhale for 2.3 seconds and 0.6 seconds before inhaling, and gradually the river and sea sink in. The same breath as the man seemed to merge into this landscape. The mind is as calm as water, and the mind is empty and in a magical state of equilibrium, without desire and without desire, forgetting everything.

It's just that Jiang Hai didn't know the changes in his dantian at this moment, the original goose egg-sized true qi was spreading, absorbing the true qi from the rest of Jiang Hai's body and expanding sharply. Now it's the size of a fist, and it's still expanding, and it's the size of a grinding disc and there's no end to it.

From the original orange, it gradually fades, slowly becomes orange yellow, and then becomes light yellow, until it completely turns yellow, it no longer changes, but continues to expand, and I don't know when it will be the head. After a long time, perhaps when he reached saturation, he no longer absorbed the true qi of the rest of Jiang Hai's body. It is suspended in the Jianghai dantian, the size of a star.

The rest of the true qi that was not absorbed turned into stars and floated around the stars. The star glows with a golden circle of light, and at first glance it looks like a huge egg, surrounded by its shell.

Slowly, there were cracks in the shell, and the cracks were still expanding, like a centipede lying on the egg, until the egg was full of cracks, and the golden liquid poured down from the egg. Like a waterfall falling from the sky, and like the Milky Way bursting its embankment, it is so spectacular that it forms a sea. The golden waters tumbled and roared, rolling into the pitch-black void around them, and the stars in the sky emitted sparkling beams of light on the endless sea.

When the qi of the dantian turns into the sea of reincarnation, the combat effectiveness has made a qualitative leap, if the former's true qi is just that mass, then now the true qi is this sea. The reincarnation sea water flows to the rivers and seas, and every part of his body warms them. The blood vessels are gradually expanding, and the nerves become extremely subtle.......

And Jiang Hai didn't know all this. Now he is in a state of self-forgetfulness. I don't know anything around me. Of course, he didn't know that the moment he stepped into the sea of wheels, the man next to him opened his eyes and glanced at him, showing a look of appreciation, and then closed his eyes again.

"Coo-goo" Jiang Hai woke up from the state of emptiness, his stomach was screaming, how could he be hungry so fast? Didn't he just have breakfast, and it was already dark when he looked up. No, I feel like I've been sitting for a while, and it's been a day, no wonder my stomach screams. In addition to being hungry, there is also a feeling of strength. After checking his own state, he actually reached the realm of the wheel sea.

Dark luck true qi, a golden true qi condensed on his fingers, jumped two levels and directly stepped into the realm of the sword master. Jiang Hai couldn't help but shout

"What are you doing?" shouted at the defenders. "No loud noises in public places. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a little excited. ”

"Be quiet," said one of the armorers.

I knew this guy wasn't easy. Just learning its breath allowed itself to leap two levels. Hey, what about this guy?

There was no one in that position. The fishing rod and bamboo basket are still there, and it is time to go to dinner at this point. Don't you want things to be taken away? The soldiers with armor on the city tower are not vegetarians. I'll go to dinner as soon as I get it.

As soon as I returned to the inn, I ran into Xia Yun. "Has Grandpa Yun eaten?"

"I'm waiting for you after eating early."

"Oh, I'll go eat first"

"Why is Xiaohai so happy today?" Xia Yun asked

"Yes?"

"Not yet, the whole look of picking up the money. ”

How can you be so happy when you pick up money, I saw that someone around me came to Xia Yun's ear and whispered, "I have been promoted to junior sword master Wahaha"

"Junior Swordsman, what opportunities have you encountered? I remember that you were only an intermediate swordsman yesterday," Xia Yun was surprised

"Nothing but a sleep by the river"

Can you sleep and cross two levels? This guy is really talented, and in time, the Xia family will be saved.

"Are you sure about the exam the day after tomorrow?"

"In this exam, I am catching turtles in the urn. Okay, aside, I'm really hungry. ”

The newly promoted sword master realm, Jiang Hai must go to consolidate his family, the transformation of his body is not yet complete, it will take time, and Jiang Hai currently only has one night and tomorrow day, and the day after tomorrow is the exam.

Early the next morning, Jiang Hai came to the moat, and the man was there early in the morning, maybe he never left at all. With his eyes closed, he completely ignored the crowds and the noisy environment.

Jiang Hai sat down on the side and waited for an opportunity. After a while, the line moved, and a fish took the bait. The man opened his eyes and put away the fishing rod, this is a spotted crucian carp, not a special species, the man still released it, put on the bait and hung the rod into the water, and sat down to close his eyes and meditate when he was interrupted by Jiang Hai.

"Seniors, seniors, I watched you fishing in the past few days, and the fish have been released. So you're not fishing, so what are you fishing?"

"What am I fishing? If I have to say something, time and quiet"

Time and quiet? Jiang Hai expressed puzzlement. It's understandably quiet, and it's quiet and peaceful compared to the rest of the city. It's just that how to explain this time. No matter how you look at it, the man is not the kind of person who squandered his time at will, but what is he doing? This made Jiang Hai very curious. A hermit in the city?

The man closed his eyes, "And what are you fishing?"

The man who had been silent only said three sentences in total, and this time he took the initiative to ask, which flattered Jiang Hai and answered honestly.

"The younger generation is fishing for the future"

Without the following man's silence, perhaps he understood what Jiang Hai said, isn't the current congestion of the Holy City caused by people with the same purpose?
