Chapter 7: No Bait

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the biological clock of the three naturally woke them up.

Outside the house, Deacon Du still reprimanded everyone in a loud voice.

"It's been a whole week, and some of you can't do such a simple task every day! I really want to ask, are you pigs?"

In the crowd, Zhang Can and Tao Liubin quietly glanced at each other, and their hearts were secretly empty.

"Because of the drag of these people, you have to cut firewood for another week. Until everyone can pass the level, they can't move on to the next job!"

Shrugging his head, Su Xuan was about to set off with these two little friends, but was suddenly stopped by Deacon Du.

"Su Xuan, you don't have to chop wood. Your task today is to go to the river and fill a tank of water. ”

Su Xuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the two people who were also stunned by this news, a little overwhelmed.

"He doesn't have to chop wood?"

"Carrying water, a tank of water can be filled in two or three runs, this job is too easy!"

"Why is he the only one so special? It's not fair, I want to fetch water too!"

......

In the face of the doubts and dissatisfaction of the teenagers, Deacon Du shouted angrily: "What are you doing, do you want to rebel? On the mountain of the outer gate, what I say is the rule! If you don't want to abide by it, get me down the mountain as soon as possible! Whoever dares to say more will double today's task!"

Seeing Deacon Du angry, these people immediately scattered.

Su Xuan looked at Zhang Can and Tao Liubin with bitter faces, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, it seems that I can't accompany you today." ”

"What words!"

Zhang Can patted him on the shoulder: "Anyway, you have almost taught the skills of chopping wood, maybe, without your help today, we can successfully complete the task!"

The little fat man Tao Liu Bin also said with a smile: "That's it, don't underestimate the two of us too much! What's more, your work is not easy, so worry about yourself, haha!"

Shaking his head, Su Xuan watched the two of them leave happily, and then picked up the two wooden barrels and walked towards the small river under the mountain.

Deacon Du looked at his back, his face full of complexity. He knew that when Su Xuan went down the mountain and came back, some kind of earth-shaking change might happen.

Su Xuan carried the wooden barrel and walked on the winding forest path.

In the early morning of midsummer, there is already a scorching smell in the air.

The greenery is forested, the grass and trees are leisurely, and along the way, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. With such a natural beauty, Su Xuan felt that his mood had also become relaxed.

Coming to the bank of the sparkling river, Su Xuan put down the barrel and was about to hit someone, but suddenly saw a middle-aged man wearing a hat on the other side of the river holding a fishing rod and fishing by the river.

If it is fishing, there is nothing unusual, when Su Xuan was a child, he often held a fishing rod, took his sister, followed his father's buttocks, and fished all day.

But the strange thing is that Su Xuan can see clearly, this person clearly threw the baitless hook into the water, and then sat quietly with the rod.

Jiang Taiweng fishes, and the willing person takes the bait. Su Xuan had heard of this legendary allusion for a long time. But it's a straight hook, but this uncle bends the hook but doesn't put the bait, he thinks it must be the other party's negligence and forgetting.

Out of kindness, Su Xuan reminded him: "Uncle, you forgot to put bait on your fishing hook, so you won't be able to catch fish." ”

The middle-aged man on the opposite side had a stiff face, took off the hat he was wearing, and asked with some disbelief, "What are you calling me?"

"Uncle?" Su Xuan replied with a worried expression, "Isn't it right?"

Li Dong touched his chin and smiled dumbly. In vain, he prides himself on being young and romantic, but he didn't expect that he was already an uncle-level figure in the eyes of this child.

That's right, this middle-aged man who was fishing inexplicably by the river was none other than the sect master of Fengtian Sect, Li Dong!

"Ahem!" He coughed dryly twice, hiding his embarrassment, "No problem, uncle, uncle." By the way, what did you just say?"

"I said, you don't have bait on your hook, so you can't catch fish. ”

"Can't catch a fish?" Li Dong smiled slightly, looked at Su Xuan, and said meaningfully, "What do you think of this?"

I saw him flick the fishing rod, and under the sun, a grass carp flashed with scales, and it was suddenly caught by him.

"How is this possible!"

Su Xuan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Why would this grass carp bite his hook without bait?"

He couldn't help but wonder if he had just looked away.

Seeing Su Xuan's doubts, Li Dong said in a timely manner: "As you can see, without bait, the fish can still be baited." ”

"Why?"

Everything Su Xuan saw at this moment completely subverted his previous concepts.

"Thought I was fishing with my heart. ”

Unhook the fish and put it back in the river, Li Dong said.

"This hook looks like it has no bait, but it's not. I have set my heart on it, so that the fish in the water will take the bait. ”

"Heart?" Su Xuan said with a puzzled face, "But, I really didn't see anything on your fishhook!"

"Idiot, don't you understand?" Li Dong shook his head slightly, he felt that he was in a bit of a hurry to tell him this now, "The heart mentioned here is the mind." Invisible and intangible, but real. From flowers, grasses, insects, and pigs to the sun, moon and stars, everything you see with your naked eyes has traces of thought. Just like in ancient times, Jiang Taiweng fished and the wisher took the bait. He is a straight hook, but I am a curved hook, just because on his hook, the mind is more condensed, and the attraction to the fish is greater. So, do you understand?"

Su Xuan nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "What you mean is that Jiang Taiweng is more powerful than you, and you can't compare to him!"

"Uh......"

Li Dong's head twitched suddenly, and he bowed his hand to the sky, and said respectfully: "Jiang Taiweng is an ancient sage, how can I dare to compare with his old man." ”

"You're just not as good as him anyway!"

This stinky boy!

Li Dong gritted his teeth secretly, but he had to be patient, and asked step by step: "Do you want to learn the power of this kind of thought?"

"Don't. ”

To his surprise, Su Xuan refused without hesitation at that time.

"My dad used to say that fishing is about having fun. What's the fun of being able to bait a fish like you without bait? ”

"Bastard!"

Li Dong was really angry.

"What do you think of telekinesis, you stinky boy? Do you think this power is only for fishing?

I saw that with a finger of his finger, the grass carp that was released by him in the river jumped out of the water. The volley slapped the fishtail, as if he was still swimming in the water, and flew in front of Su Xuan. After a graceful spin on the tip of his nose, he spat bubbles and twisted his body to jump back into the water.

Su Xuan rubbed his eyes in disbelief, he thought that all this he saw was a dream.

It's unbelievable that the fish is actually swimming in the air!

"Stinky boy, this is finally a long experience, right?

Li Dong smiled triumphantly, without the slightest majesty as the head of a sect.

Su Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"If you want to use this method to fish, you can definitely make a fortune!"

"Uh......"

Li Dong's mind was suddenly full of black lines, and when he was about to roar and reprimand, he heard him ask reverently in an extremely solemn tone.

"Are you an immortal?"

"Immortals?" Li Dong smiled slightly bitterly, "Where did the immortals come from in the land of Dongzhou today? Maybe in the eyes of mortals, mental power cultivators like us are the so-called immortals." ”

"Psychic cultivator?"

"That's right, everything in the world is tied to a single thought. One thought is born, one thought is extinguished, this is the power that we mental power practitioners have. ”
