In the Blade

After putting down his fishing rod, Du Chengfeng was silent for a long time.

Although things were as he had judged, and the person in charge of the cave was obviously in a hurry, so his slow and cautious behavior might be relatively reliable, but he never expected that the old fishing man would actually die while fishing. onto the fish.

After fishing for a lifetime, the fish starved to death because the fish didn't take the bait. This way of death is a bit too humorous.

However, after experiencing the past of this fishing rod, Du Chengfeng could also feel that there was actually nothing the old fishing man could do.

Other great powers are not fools, and they cannot take the bait casually. If you want to attract other great powers, the only way is to arrange the most fragrant bait - indeed, Diaosou's fishing skills have long since no longer required bait. , but that’s just without using bait in the usual sense.

The bait used by fishermen is desire itself.

Therefore, in order to seek the greatest benefit, Diaosou simply used everything he had as bait, and when he was about to die, he sucked many powerful powers into his fish pond - in order to make this not too obvious, Diaosou also deliberately disguised the environment of the fish pond as a mountain forest.

Although he changed from the water to the ground, from fish and shrimp to animals, in the eyes of Diaosou, there may be no difference.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

At this moment, the fisherman who controlled the entire fish pond was extremely close to the illusory "sky".

However, it is only close.

Unlike "Heaven", which has no desires or demands, Diaosou himself still has desires after all. He wants everything from these powerful powers, he wants knowledge and power, and he also wants to refine these powerful powers so as to continue his own destiny. Life span - like a person who has been hungry for a long time and sits by the river, hoping to catch a fish so that he will not starve to death.

With the old man's already amazing fishing skills, all of this should have been completed in an instant.

"But I delayed a little longer."

Du Chengfeng sighed.

It is indeed just a moment. Even if the fish pond has experienced thousands of years, to the old fishing man outside, it is only less than an hour - if it were before, he still regarded fishing as a hobby. At that time, it didn't matter if the old fishing man sat by the river all day long, since he would have something to eat when he got back.

But with the increasing understanding of fishing, fishing has long become a part of this old man’s life, even the whole life. After all, his fishing skills are so superb, and he has understood everything in the world through fishing, and even , everything in this world is just a fish in his pond, everything is at his fingertips.

However, he eventually failed.

Just one miss cost the old man everything.

The so-called legacy has truly become a legacy.

And this legacy now belongs to Du Chengfeng.

The first is the cave itself. This is the dojo that the old man spent his whole life carving out for himself. Although it is just a cave, there are only study rooms, bedrooms and a fish pond in the cave, but each of these three things is It's far less ordinary than it seems.

First of all, there is the bedroom itself. Although there is only one bed, this bed is a rare treasure specially collected by the old man. In the memory attached to the fishing rod, this bed was specially made by the old man. No matter how tired he is, Just go up and take a nap and you will become energetic and refreshed.

"No wonder he can live for such a long time. This Lao Deng is quite knowledgeable about health care."

After patting the bed, Du Chengfeng, who had already decided to keep it in his pocket, went to the study.

The study room is not big, and there are not many books in it. After all, the old man has not deliberately collected any mortal books, and the wisdom of those mortals is of little use to the old man - all the books on the bookshelf were written by the old man himself. , are some insights he jotted down, as well as some of his experiences in fishing.

This kind of thing has almost no meaning to outsiders. After all, it is difficult for outsiders to understand this kind of inspiration record with a hammer and a stick. However, for those powerful people, these lifelong insights are very important. Some of the ideas that may have inspired them are actually what many powerful people came for.

But for Du Chengfeng, this is another story.

After all, he has experienced the life experience of this old fishing man through the fishing rod.

When experience and perception merged, everything about the old fishing man was completely revealed in front of him.

"Theoretically, it's a good thing, but I can't possibly follow his old path..."

Du Chengfeng scratched his head. He didn't really want to follow the same path as the old man. Although the old man was indeed very capable, and even reached the point of being close to the law of heaven, in the end he died of old age because he couldn't catch any fish. Law is really a bit too abstract.

"But it can be a hobby. After all, I haven't cooked fish much yet."

Yes, Du Chengfeng's cooking skills have always been weak in cooking fish. As for the reason, it is naturally because he is a meat fan and can eat large pieces of meat without bones, so why should he eat full of fish? What about fish with fish bones?

But now, with this fishing skill, he can give it a try and march into this unknown territory.

"As for the last words..."

Du Chengfeng, who returned outside, looked at the fish pond in front of the old man's body.

The fish pond itself is not big, just the size of a swimming pool. Dozens of fish are swimming in it, spitting out some bubbles from time to time. From a normal perspective, this is just an ordinary pond. At best, it can only be said that there are a lot of fish in it.

But Du Chengfeng knew that everything was not as simple as it seemed.

Just because he himself was originally one of the swimming fish.

This pond is the most critical place in the entire cave, and it is also the most insidious arrangement left by the old man - if an outsider comes in, they must at least go in through the hole in the sky, but once they enter, they will Get directly into the pond, and then, under the influence of the old man's tyrannical will, the intruder will directly become a fish in the pond.

A fish has no chance of winning when facing a fisherman. In front of a fish, the fisherman is an absolute god.

"No wonder that wolf has never entered this old man's cave... I'm afraid that if he comes in, his secret will be exposed directly."

Du Chengfeng tried to put his hand into the pond and feel the fluctuations in the water.

He didn't touch the Tower of Babel, nor the monkeys.

Everything is like a dream, and like a bubble in the water. Perhaps this is why the old man did not choose to go down to the pond until he died by the pond - Du Chengfeng originally thought when he first landed on the shore, It took him thousands of years to figure out the way out, so why didn't this dying old man just use this method to live for thousands more years?

But now it seems that the old man may not want to use it, but he may not be able to use it.

The fish pond can deceive the fish in the pond and make them think that they have lived for thousands of years, but it can only deceive the old man who built the fish pond. If the old man simply jumped into the pond, the most likely outcome would be that he would drown on the spot.

And now, Du Chengfeng has inherited everything from the old fishing man.

This means that he cannot enter this pond again.

After thousands of years of getting along day and night, it was definitely impossible to say that he had no feelings for those monkeys. However, after inheriting everything from the old fisherman, he could no longer see those monkeys.

After all, those monkeys technically never existed.

Everything in those thousands of years was just a dream in this pond.

"This is great power..."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but turn around and look at the old man's body.

The fact that he could achieve this by himself was a testament to the old man's abilities. Fortunately, he had previously thought that the so-called ability to withstand death was just that, just like the coyote he saw before. At one time, he thought that he just had to fight hard to win the opponent, but now it seems that if he really takes action, he may not really be able to take advantage.

Being able to fly to the sky and even open a cave in the sky on his own, how could such a being be easy to deal with?

The world in the sky was far more dangerous than what he had experienced before.

"So that's the problem."

Du Chengfeng looked at the pond again.

Or rather, those fish in the pond.

Although the cave itself is already an extremely precious relic, the dozens of fish in the pond are the most precious thing in the cave at the moment - just because these dozens of fish were all attracted by the fisherman. Each one is transformed by a great power from the outside world. In other words, these dozens of fish represent dozens of caves, and represent everything of these dozens of great powers!

And now, Du Chengfeng was holding a fishing rod in his hand.

Although this fishing rod is as ordinary as it looks, it can be made with just a straight stick, but Du Chengfeng knows that this fishing rod has become the most critical part of the entire cave. With the key and the fishing rod in his hand, he can control the entire cave. On the other hand, he can kick the old fishing man's body aside at any time and sit on it himself.

Yes, the old fishing man has no time. In order to attract these powerful people, the old fishing man uses his remaining life as bait.

But Du Chengfeng had enough time.

He is not about to die, he is still very young. Although he has been in the pool for thousands of years, after returning to his original body, he is still less than thirty years old - and he is the same as ordinary people. The difference is that he is still made of steel, which means that he can stay up without sleeping if he wants to.

He didn't even have to worry about eating or drinking, he could catch fish all day long by the pond.

As long as he is willing to hang the fishing rod into the pond, he can enjoy everything left by the old fishing man.

But Du Chengfeng did not do this.

Putting the fishing rod on the shore, Du Chengfeng plunged into the pond, and then one fish after another was fished out of the pond and thrown to the shore - and those fish thrown to the shore Fishes of all sizes also quickly transformed into human forms one after another.

Only one fish took the familiar form of a coyote when it was thrown ashore.

"What are you..."

The coyote, who was covered in water, shook his head vigorously, and he didn't even come back to his senses.

Where is this? Hasn't he always been enshrined by the wolves in the temple? Why did it suddenly turn into a cave again? And what's going on with this pool?

However, at this moment, a noisy voice sounded around him.

"Thank you fellow Taoist for helping me!"

The sudden sound startled the coyote, and it also made the coyote turn around and look around.

This also made the coyote sweat profusely.

With such shouts, at least five figures rushed towards the steel body in the pond. Just looking at the fierce attack, they were going to blast it to death in the pond directly - but at this time, more attacks hit the backs of the five attackers, and they were blasted to death in mid-air in an instant.

"How can you be rude to the benefactor!"

While saying this, those figures reached out to fish out the bodies of the five attackers, and saw that the wide sleeves gently pulled, and the five bodies disappeared.

Just looking at the satisfied smiles on the faces of these figures, you can feel the joy of the harvest.

Such a scene made the coyote's eyelids jump.

It's not that he hasn't seen powerful people kill people before, but he has never seen dozens of powerful people join forces to kill five people.

Feeling the solemnity hidden under the joy, the coyote thought it would be better for him to keep silent.

At this time, Du Chengfeng had already thrown the last fish to the shore.

"More friends, more ways."

Du Chengfeng turned around and clasped his fists to the group of great men.

"Before, everyone was trapped in the pool and could only rely on their own abilities. Since everyone didn't make trouble when I was working, I am not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be grateful... The whole cave has these things. The study is over there, and everyone can use it at will. I just want the bed inside, or if everyone has a more suitable bed, you can exchange it."

"How can I be so embarrassed!"

The great men clasped their hands and gave way, but their eyes were looking straight in the direction of the study.

Obviously, it is impossible to say that they have no desires. If they really have no desires, they would not be trapped in the pool - but now they have shared the legacy of this cave without doing anything. In terms of face, it is a bit embarrassing.

However, at this moment, a figure with a tail suddenly shouted.

"It was given to you by the Emperor of God! Just take it! Don't be shameless!"

"...Huh?"

Du Chengfeng hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a familiar monkey figure that looked like a human standing up, standing in the middle of a group of powerful people, looking down on them.
