Sure enough, Liu Baiyi and Ling Xiao stood aside and did not disturb the fisherman.
Not long after, Ling Xiao saw the fishing line beating slightly and a few slight ripples on the water.
Whoosh!
The fisherman's fishing rod instantly rose up, drawing a very beautiful arc in the void, but to Ling Xiao's surprise, he did not catch the fish as he imagined.
"Huh? Fishing with a straight hook? How do you catch fish with a straight hook?"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed, a little surprised.
The fisherman's hook is actually straight. Even if a fish is about to take the bait, it will probably be scared away by the fisherman's movements in an instant.
"Little guy, who said you can't fish with a straight hook? It's just those who are willing to take the bait. Aren't you here today?"
The fisherman actually seemed to know what Ling Xiao was thinking, he said indifferently, and then slowly turned around.
The fisherman looked very old, his face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were extremely weathered and deep, as if they contained the wisdom to see through everything, and he said to Ling Xiao very gently.
"See the Patriarch, he is Ling Xiao!"
Liu Baiyi saluted the fisherman.
"A disciple of Nephew Red Dragon? He is indeed a very interesting little guy! Ling Xiao, do you know why I use a straight hook to fish?"
The fisherman smiled slightly at Ling Xiao.
"Is the Patriarch trying to understand the great way of heaven and earth?"
Ling Xiao thought for a while and said.
"No, no, the reason why I fish with a straight hook is because I like it! There are not so many things that are taken for granted in this world. Many things just need to follow your heart! As the saying goes, it is better to take the straight line.
, don’t ask for it in the song, that’s the principle!”
The fisherman shook his head and said with deep meaning in his eyes.
"Disciple has learned!"
Ling Xiao nodded and said, although he was a little dissatisfied with the fisherman's pretentiousness, he also knew that masters all have some hobbies. He just thought that this was the hobby of the fisherman's ancestor. It was indeed what he said,
Follow your heart and do whatever you want.
"I'll give you this fishhook as a meeting gift! Ling Xiao, are you going to meet Junior Brother Woodcutter next? But because he didn't catch that old boy Lei Bo, Junior Brother Woodcutter is in a bad mood. You have to be careful.
!”
The fisherman said with a smile, and then handed Ling Xiao a silver fishhook, but it was still a straight hook. It looked like a silver needle, shining brightly.
"Thank you, Patriarch, for reminding me!"
Ling Xiao accepted it respectfully.
This fishhook should not look simple. Although Ling Xiao didn't know how to use it yet, since it was a greeting gift from the ancestor, it must not be an ordinary thing, but must be a very precious treasure.
"Uncle Master, this is the Ruyi Wuxin Hook. It is a powerful treasure. It is the weapon that the ancestor used when he was young. It can be changed in any way and is extremely extraordinary!"
Liu Baiyi knew this fishhook very well and immediately sent a message to Ling Xiao to explain.
"Ruyi Wuxin Hook? This is a top-grade holy treasure. It is unpredictable and powerful. Even if it is compared to the Fantian Seal, it is not much weaker!"
Ling Xiao was also a little shocked and thought to himself that he had also heard of the reputation of Ruyi Wuxin Hook, but he didn't expect that the fisherman ancestor would give it to him directly.
After the fisherman gave the greeting gift, he continued to sit cross-legged in front of the small lake and fish.
Ling Xiao and Liu Baiyi both bowed silently to the fisherman and continued on their way.
After walking past this quiet small lake and passing through a chaotic stone forest, Ling Xiao and Liu Baiyi finally came to a dense forest.
Click!
A burly man wearing animal skins, with muscles all over his body and strong energy and blood, was holding a big axe, cutting down trees. The axe blade was extremely sharp, and soon felled a towering ancient tree.
.
When Ling Xiao saw this burly man, he immediately understood that he must be the woodcutter mentioned by the fisherman, the third ancestor of the God of War Temple!
"Grandmaster, this is..."
Liu Baiyi bowed his hands to the woodcutter, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted very rudely by the woodcutter.
"I don't want to know who he is! Liu Baiyi, since you are the chosen successor, you must be pretty strong! How about this, as long as he can take my three moves, I will admit that he is the future God of War Supreme?"
The woodcutter glanced at Liu Baiyi lightly and said, his eyes were so sharp that he seemed not to notice Ling Xiao at all.
"Three moves? Patriarch, are you too strong-armed? After all, there is a huge difference in cultivation between Ling Xiao and you. I'm afraid he won't even be able to take one of your moves!"
Liu Baiyi said with a bitter smile.
"Don't worry! I will suppress my cultivation to the same level as him, but if he can't even take my three moves, then just leave the War Heaven Holy Realm. I, the War God Palace, don't need such waste!"
The woodcutter said coldly.
"Three moves? Okay! Patriarch, let alone three moves, even if it is thirty moves, what do I, Ling Xiao, have to fear about three hundred moves?"
Ling Xiao smiled calmly, with a bright edge shining in his eyes.
If the Woodcutter does not suppress his cultivation, then with the terrifying power of the Holy King Realm, even if Ling Xiao has the Wordless Heavenly Book and the Fantian Seal, he is no match for the Woodcutter. After all, the gap in cultivation is too big.
Just like a baby holding a machete, he is no match for a grown man.
But in a battle with the same realm, Ling Xiao has never been afraid of anyone!
"What a loud tone! Take my first move, chop wood!"
The woodcutter said indifferently, and then the blazing divine light around him flashed, and he suppressed his cultivation to the realm of the seventh-level semi-saint, and the ax in his hand flashed with cold light in an instant, and suddenly struck Ling Xiao.
The ax light was extremely sharp, as if Ling Xiao was regarded as an immovable tree, and thousands of ax lights were fired in an instant, trying to kill Ling Xiao completely.
Ling Xiao only felt that in front of the overwhelming ax light, his whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all, as if he could only face the chops of the ax light.
"This is...the power of time?!"
Ling Xiao's whole body was shaken, and he immediately realized that what was exerted on him was a trace of the power of time. His whole body seemed to be frozen, and his body movements could not keep up with the movement of his thoughts.
"As time passes, time slows down!"
Ling Xiao immediately used the Time Scripture without hesitation, and a strange light emitted from his body suddenly rushed toward the ax light in front of him.
Suddenly, the light of those axes in Ling Xiao's eyes seemed to slow down countless times in an instant, and slowly fell towards him.
And Ling Xiao also broke free from the shackles of the power of time in an instant. He moved across the air and avoided the ax light that filled the sky at the last moment!
