The God of Martial Arts

Chapter 394 Fishing Old Man
After leaving Nanxiangkou, Xiang Yang looked around, not knowing whether to go up the mountain or down the river. He saw a meandering stream flowing into a wide river in the northeast direction. On the river surface, there were boats splashing water. The water and sky were the same color, walking leisurely , heart carefree.

He swept his feet and headed towards the river. After a while, he arrived at the embankment built beside the big river. There was an old man with a fishing rod hanging in his hand, drinking a sip or two of the wine bag he carried with him from time to time. He looked like a hermit. .

Xiang Yang heard from Deng Chunjue that although Nanxiang is a remote place, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has abundant resources. The river is flooded with fish and shrimps. As long as you have a good fishing skill, you can live without any worries. It is more comfortable than hunting in the mountains.

There is a wooden basin next to the old man in front of him. Although the water is swaying, there is not even a small fish. Either the craft is not good, or the ambition is not fishing.

Xiang Yang came silently, but the old man ignored him. After a while, the buoy under the water moved, rippling water patterns, spreading in all directions, and Xiang Yang knew that a fish had taken the bait.

But the old man didn't move, as if he didn't notice it at all. After the float moved a few more times, he finally showed a smile. His wrinkled and withered palm exerted force, and with a swish sound, the fishing rod was lifted, and a blue fish scale came out. The big fish is jumping around in mid-air, very happy.

But the old man shook his hand casually, the fishing rod trembled, the herring that was hooked and caught was thrown away directly, fell back into the river, wagged his tail and spit out bubbles, and hurried away. This is a small life .

"Young man, can you see my intention of releasing the fish after catching it?"

The old man turned his head back at this time, revealing his whole face, but he was a kind old man with a clean face, white beard and hair, a pair of eyes as deep as the blue sea, and long eyebrows hanging down from the tail, like the long-browed venerable in mythology.

Xiang Yang's eyes flashed, he took a deep breath, and walked to the embankment in a few steps. Looking around, although it is not as majestic as the sea, it is also unique in the style of rivers.

"The elder was just joking. When you fish, naturally you can catch it or let it go. As long as you want, even if you stew it on the spot, it will be according to your wishes.

However, I think the elder didn't want to release the fish, but wanted to kill the fish, and deliberately suppressed the killing thought in his heart, doing the Buddhist act of releasing life, calming the mood and increasing the spiritual will, which is really brilliant.

It is actually a good thing that God has the virtue of good life, but for me, it doesn't matter whether I let it go or kill it. "

The old man in front of him was very powerful and did not bring the slightest pressure to Xiang Yang, but when he got close to this person, Xiang Yang felt uncomfortable, as if there was a man-eating tiger lying next to him, and the clues could be seen.

This is a ruthless man who is powerful in martial arts, but is old and bloody. His eyes, as deep as the blue sea, contain infinite murderous intent, but this murderous intent is deeply restrained by him. The eruption must be a shocking blow.

The Slaughtering Sword is an evil sword, the method of a magic sword, but this is only the foundation. The higher-level sword technique and Dao of the sword must also be extremely evil. If a practitioner is not mentally strong and will not be determined, it is easy to be swayed.

This old man practiced this kind of evil sword technique to the bone, but still maintained ordinary people's thoughts. It is through these kinds of daily tempering to strengthen his beliefs that he suppresses evil nature.

Why is it said that the will of soldiers is as strong as steel?Are their spirits really born strong and unshakable?
Absolutely not. Soldiers are human too, but they are bound by rules and regulations. After long-term training, they have developed an unshakable will to do and what not to do. They can control themselves better than ordinary people.

Take the simplest example, get up and fold the quilt, the quilt must be stacked neatly, every day.

But in fact, most people like to place them randomly. This is a habit gradually formed by going against their own thinking and being bound by external rules, forcing you to adapt. Gradually, people's will will be sharpened.

Unlike soldiers who are deliberately restrained by the acquired environment, this old man deliberately teased himself, and then deliberately acted against his will. From the accumulation of bits and pieces, he formed a will that can suppress his own murderous thoughts.

Therefore, Xiang Yang was very afraid of this old man. Compared with this man, although Min Baxian was more aggressive, and he was in his prime, he was still a bit behind, and his understanding of martial arts was not as good as this man.

And the reason why Xiang Yang deliberately contacted the old man was because he was curious about Nanxiang's higher-level martial arts, and wanted to get a glimpse of the secrets.

The butcher's saber technique alone is not bad, but combined with the general outline of the mental method, it can be said to be superior in the way of the sword, so what about the more powerful martial arts?
Xiang Yang wasn't trying to die either, the choice of him was also the result of many considerations.

Don't look at this old man's internal knives and knife skills are all above Min Baxian's, but the most important essence of the human body has been separated, and the spirit is also disordered. Not far away.

So for Xiang Yang today, the threat of this old man is far less than that of Min Ba who came first.

"Haha, the boy's mind is not bad, and he has a great brain, the old man hasn't seen such an outstanding young man like you for many years.

What's your name and where are you from? "

When the old man heard Xiang Yang's words, his wrist paused unconsciously, a trace of blood flashed in his eyes, then disappeared, and he continued to ask.

The fishing rod in his hand was swung out again, and it floated on the water, but there was no fish to bite, as if there was something terrifying lying on it.

"Xiang Yang, from Anyuan County, Qingjiang Prefecture, is escorting Mrs. Min'e back to Nanxiang this time. She came from a poor background, which made the elders laugh."

Xiang Yang's palms were slightly sweaty. Just now he sensed an evil killing intent aimed at him, and then disappeared without a trace.

This murderous thought disappeared in a flash, like an illusion, but he thought to himself that with his current spirit, it would be very difficult for him to have such a big illusion.

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, and belittling themselves is not what young people should think.

Come on, what's the matter with the old man?Is it you, or girl E? "

Although Xiang Yang didn't know the identity of the old man until now, there are some things that can be done without knowing his identity.

"It has nothing to do with Madam, it's just that Xiang has only loved martial arts in his life. Since he came to Nanxiang, he saw the hidden caves in the butcher's sword technique. He was curious about its higher-level swordsmanship and was eager to experience it. I wonder if the elder can give Xiang some chance?"

Beside the big river embankment, while Xiang Yang was speaking, there was a wind blowing, howling left and right, tossing up and down, blowing his black hair into chaos, but facing the hustle and bustle of the environment, Xiang Yang's heart was extremely peaceful and peaceful.

He was sincere in every word, every sentence of the truth, and showed his enthusiasm for martial arts to the old man unreservedly.

The old man has a lot of doubts. The young man is a pawn and an ambitious man. He has got a scaly claw about the evil knife, and he has to use him to use his brain.

Or it was entrusted by Min E, and he did not give up, and wanted to recruit Huo Huaian to help him. This has happened many times in the past.

But he had no idea, and he didn't expect that Xiang Yang was nothing but a martial arts fanatic, and he sincerely asked him for martial arts advice.

What shocked the old man even more was the slaughter knife technique that Xiang Yang said. He saw through the cave hidden in it. Is there really such a person?
