Chapter 7 Red Twisted Bass
Fishing in the game can increase players' concentration, cultivate their body and mind, and sometimes increase their understanding.
Wang Mu wanted to improve his concentration, otherwise if he encountered a situation similar to Yan Qingwu's in the future, he might be easily exposed.
"Let's just say that there is a rare fish species in Yunlai River called Jinlong Carp."
"If you can catch this kind of fish, you will have great luck."
Uncle Tieniu said enthusiastically, "I don't have much patience either. I'm so reckless that I can't calm down."
Wang Mu also listened with great interest.
There are indeed many fish species in the game, and not all of them are for food.
Catching this will bring good luck.
Well, it's really pretty.
So, the next day, Wang Mu found Grandpa Yu in the village.
That is, the old fishing man I met on the first day when I first traveled through time.
My real name is Yu Li. I am sixty-eighty years old. I started fishing at the age of twenty. I inherited from my father’s generation. My ancestors have always been fishermen in Yunlai River.
Yunlai River flows slowly down from Guyun Mountain.
Guyun Mountain is a fairy mountain, and naturally most of the fish in this stream are not ordinary.
Sometimes, disciples of the Immortal Sect would come down in person to trade with Grandpa Yu in exchange for some special fish species, which was considered an honor.
This means that those Immortal Sect disciples may not be able to catch the fish species in Yunlai River.
"Boy Mu, you want to learn fishing? Do you understand how to chop down trees?"
Grandpa Yu was wearing a bamboo hat and still looked the same as when we first met him. He was holding a bamboo pole and facing the stream, taking a nap with his eyes lowered.
"Well, Uncle Tieniu said he has nothing more to teach me."
"Okay." Grandpa Yu stretched out his hand and pointed to the bamboo pole on the side. "If you can hold on for half a year, you have some strength. You won't be dragged into the stream by these fish and become their food."
"But when fishing, you need to be patient and calm, and don't have distracting thoughts in your mind, otherwise the fish that takes the bait can escape instantly."
"You still have to feel it all the time... and realize it more deeply."
"It's not that simple."
Wang Mu looked at the fishing rod and felt that it was a bit old.
"Take the fishing rod, find a place by yourself, set up a table, and feel the Yunlai River first."
Wang Mu nodded, found wooden poles, and built a fishing platform on the shore. After solidifying it, he walked onto the platform, sat down, and took out the fishing rod.
"I don't use bait when I fish, but whoever is willing will take the bait."
"You are a beginner. There is a bag of bait here. Take it and use it."
The bait is made from rice worm powder, which is colorless and odorless to humans, but quite attractive to fish.
Wang Mu doesn't know what the specific principle is.
As for Grandpa Yu, who doesn't use bait, it's a bit mysterious.
Considering that this is not a normal world, Wang Mu cannot understand.
"I just started fishing after traveling through time for more than half a year."
"In a fairy world, if it were another traveler, the gods would have killed the gods, and the Buddha would have killed the Buddha, right? Or if a golden elixir was swallowed, my fate would be at my mercy? If not, I could practice Qi and build the foundation. It’s also easy to pick up…”
Wang Mu kneaded the bait powder into a ball and hung it on a bamboo pole.
This bamboo pole is made and polished from the purple-shuo tree. It is flexible yet hard.
After throwing the bait out, Wang Mu imitated Grandpa Yu and held the bamboo pole, waiting quietly.
Until an hour later, Wang Mu felt a little restless.
Unlike chopping down a tree, it is always moving.
Nowadays, everything is quiet, no one is around, and there is an occasional breeze. The more this state is, the harder it is to control it, and distracting thoughts keep growing in my heart.
At this moment, the fishing line moved slightly.
Wang Mu subconsciously twitched the bamboo pole, first tightening it and then loosening it.
The fish ran away.
Grandpa Yu next to him was not surprised when he saw this, he just smiled slightly and said:
"Too many distracting thoughts and not focused enough."
“These fish are extraordinary, and you can’t catch them if you’re distracted.”
"Just give it a few more days to get used to it."
"If you try to catch fish in Yunlai River, within a few months you won't even be able to touch their tails."
Wang Mu was thoughtful.
It's really a bit difficult.
This fish is no ordinary fish either.
but…
[Action point: 1]
[Training: Cutting (10) Fishing (+)]
With a thought, Wang Mu spent action points and added them to the fishing column.
The next moment, Wang Mu's eyes narrowed, and he swung the fishing rod away again. He was completely still, like an old monk in meditation, with his mind and consciousness fully focused on the stream, unmoved by external objects, as if there was nothing else in his eyes except fishing. thing.
Half an hour later.
Wang Mu's eyes moved, as if he noticed something. He raised the bamboo pole slightly, and a powerful force came from his hand.
However, he did not pull with brute force, but pulled the fishing line with the frequency of a fish hurrying and then slowing down, and a fish slowing down while the fish was slowing down, but only for a few breaths.
Wow!
A fat little white carp flew up!
It's over one meter long and looks like it weighs at least several dozen pounds!
Wang Mu waved the fishing line in his hand and put the small white carp into the prepared bamboo basket.
"Um?"
Yu Li on the side looked at this scene and was stunned.
Small white carp is the most common and best fish to catch in Yunlai River.
However, although it is said to be the best fishing, it is actually not easy and slippery.
"this……"
Luck, it must be luck!
The last one was released immediately, but this one was caught directly?
It looks a little silky.
“Is this boy’s talent for fishing so high?”
Yu Li pondered.
Not long after, another fat fish fell from Wang Mu's hook.
And this time...
"My movements are even more skillful than before!"
Yu Li was shocked.
He reeled in the line and watched.
Another two hours passed, and Wang Mu remained motionless, without even blinking.
Such an expression made Yu Li feel ashamed.
Thinking back to when I first started fishing, it took me several months to achieve such a meditative state.
Suddenly, the water surface moved slightly.
This time, the ripples on the water surface were larger than before, and there was even a red glimmer...
"Hey, this is..."
Yu Li took a look and immediately looked at Wang Mu.
Wang Mu was highly concentrated at this time, and a huge force was pulled out of the water.
Whenever Wang Mu exerted force, he felt an inexplicable anxiety and a feeling of panic in his heart.
"WTF?"
Wang Mu was shocked.
But he quickly calmed down, and while calming down the panic, he pulled with the fish in the water.
He was glad that he had been cutting down trees for half a year, otherwise he might have been pulled into the water by this fish!
After pulling for half an hour, the fish got closer and closer. Wang Mu jerked the rod and saw a huge red flying fish fished out of the water...
Wang Mu was stunned, what kind of fish is this?
He looks so powerful.
This fish is at least two meters long and weighs more than a hundred pounds. Its eyes are red and there are two long red whiskers. Its tail is scissor-shaped. Its scales are flowing with a faint red light, and its abdomen is as bright as a volcanic eruption from time to time. rise…
Yu Li on the side was stunned:
"Red twister!"
"Can this kid catch this on his first fishing trip?"
