Chapter 303 Jiangzhong Laosuo

Only then did Lao Su look up at Ye Xuan. Then he looked at Dajiang again, and finally squinted at the sky, and then said with a flat expression: "This calm and calm, where did the war come from." The old man's voice had a hoarse smile. The rod is still held steadily.

Ye Xuan also felt tired when he was in a hurry, and when he saw the old man's fishing without waves, he also wanted to rest, and then asked. "Old man, how about you borrow a place to stay for a while and enjoy the scenery?"

Lao Suo nodded, and then his eyes were slightly closed, recuperating, and there were occasional mountain winds through the forest and leaves on the entire river, which seemed very quiet. The sunset is warm.

In addition to the three of them in a green dress swinging their snow-white arms and playing lightly in the water, the old and the young on the boat were meditating cross-legged.

Finally, after a long time, Ye Xuan saw that the fishing rod had not moved for a long time, and it was getting late, but the old man had not seen any gains, so he must have starved for dinner. Even if he asked, "There seem to be very few fish in this river, so they won't be fished out." ”

Lao Suo shook his head. "There are a lot of fish in the river, but few are willing to take the bait. ”

Red Rui is a snow-white arm that has stopped splashing water. Looking at Lao Suo, he smiled and said, "Life is supposed to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. So you have to have bait, and I see that your boat is clean, and I don't even have bait. ”

Lao Suo's face was still flat. Just said: "The wisher takes the bait." ”

Ye Xuan didn't think much about it, but he thought that the old man's fishing skills were very good, or the small movement of him and Hongrui on the boat alarmed the fish, so that the fish did not dare to come, or that the fish in the river were too stupid, and it was estimated that there would always be one or two fish that would be hooked every day, but the old man was unlucky today.

At this time, as the sun set westward, the sky was getting darker, and the moon was gradually rising from the east, the old man put away the fishing rod, and Ye Xuan was surprised when he saw it. "Old man, how can you catch a fish with your straight hook. ”

The old man laughed and said, "The fish will take the bait themselves." I don't want to bait it, I don't want to bend it. If there is a fish willing to take my bait, then I will eat it, without the slightest psychological pressure, while the sky is not early, I will go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables. Today, the big fish in the river cherish their lives too much. ”

Ye Xuan took out dry food and fruit wine from the package on his back, put them on the light boat, and said with a smile: "Old man, it's getting late, and the road in the mountains is slippery, it's better to eat my food and make do with it." ”

The boat fluttered leisurely, and the old man on the boat was not polite, turned his head to look at Ye Xuan, and shook his head. "The doll is too young, and it doesn't look like me from Nanzhanzhou, this girl is so old that I can't see through it. But today we have a fate, we can also eat your meal, but not in vain, I see that you are still warming the long sword behind your back, I can teach you a way, can quickly reach the realm of human sword unity. ”

Ye Xuan was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, after all, he got the sword behind him, even if he had been recuperating, this world was too slow. Now that he met this old man, he had such a big harvest, which made him have to be surprised. At the same time, I am even more curious about this old man.

After the old man finished speaking, he directly lifted the bait, and what made Ye Xuan even more puzzled was that the old man's hook was actually straight, without a trace of bending. And also blunt, not sharp at all.

"Straight hook, no bait yet. Old man, you like fishing with this?" Ye Xuan pointed to the bait and said in surprise.

The old man slowly put away the fishing rod, but he was still smiling with a spring breeze on his face. "What would you do if someone tempted you with bait, forced you with hook force, caught you, and said they were going to eat you?"

Ye Xuan pondered for a while, "I will have a grudge in my heart, and the fish will die and the net will be broken." ”

The old man nodded. "That's right. I am only to have a full stomach, and I have to pay for the life of the fish. Although there are all kinds of strategies, but strategies are strategies after all, there will always be a moment when they are exposed, and at that time, the fish will be resentful. I just use this straight hook to fish, and if the fish is bent on death and voluntarily takes the bait, then there is no complaint. In fact, if the old man coaxes you to do things for me, you will definitely not be able to do it for long, and you will definitely have complaints in your heart. ”

Ye Xuan pondered for a long time, the old man's words seemed to have a meaning, and the realm was quite profound. "What if the fish never takes the bait. ”

The old man smiled and said, "The old man has been waiting here for forty years. I've never seen a hooked fish. ”

"That's not it. Old man, you're doing useless work. Ye Xuan opened the meal and handed the old man a wine glass. Each of them poured a full bottle of wine. For a while, the aroma of wine is elegant. Cold dishes and rice are fragrant. Give this surging river, a round of bright moon a little more taste decoration. For a time, it was the starry plain, and the moon surging into the river. Indescribable tranquility and demure.

The old man was unmoved. "I thought the same thing for the first 40 years, but once I started waiting, I sat still and fished the river. There are all the fish in the river, is it possible that none of them have been returned to me?"

Ye Xuan nodded. "There could be. But is it worth the time? ”

"Experience the process, not the result, and the result may have been predestined, but the process has more to gain than the result. After speaking, the old man picked up the wine glass and drank it, his expression was mostly aftertaste. It had been a long time since he had drunk such a good drink. "On this big river, you can see pedestrians coming and going every day, saying that Jian'an is really a miracle of Nanzhan Zhou. There are six suspended cities, and the ground is also high-rise buildings, which are extremely beautiful.

"Hanging cities, or six?" Ye Xuan was surprised.

"That's right. This wonder is only available to me in Nanzhan Zhou. It is difficult to see in other places, even the imperial capital, there is no such shock. "The old man obviously has great respect for the Holy Sect. "But I heard that the Demon Emperor wants to raise troops to attack the Holy Sect, but the Holy Sect, as the Holy Land of the Demon Clan, if there is no guidance from my old man, even if he pours all the troops of the world, he will not be able to attack the Holy Sect. ”

Hongrui listened on the sidelines, and suddenly heard the old man say this, but he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You seem to have some luck, but it has never reached the point of changing the world, and you are old, so why bother, this place is beautiful and full of aura, and it is also a good place to retire." Natural selection is a matter of nature, and your kindness will not bring you anything. ”

Lao Suo added a glass of wine, and then drank it all, his eyes were full of peace, and then said with a smile: "Peace of mind is the place to return, although I am old, I still have the ambition to lead the army." ”

"When the war starts, won't it also be ruined? karma is even greater. Hongrui laughed.

"After all, it is going to start, then we have to change the pattern and make profits for my demon clan for eternity, since there are disputes, then I must help all beings in the world to seek the greatest benefits at the lowest cost. ”
