Everything that happened in Wanbaoshan seemed to be beyond Du Jie's ability to understand. If a hare can be caught on this prairie, it is possible that a wild boar can really be caught. Seeing that Du Jie didn't respond, the old man simply ignored him and continued to stare at his hook with his head lowered. After a while, he suddenly yanked back the fishing line. Du Jie turned his head and looked, There was actually a leopard on the fishhook!
Du Jie didn't dare to catch him now. Fortunately, the old man didn't want him to help. He turned around and opened the pocket on his back. The leopard was put into the bag smoothly. The leopard struggled in the bag for a while and then stopped moving. , just a low-pitched plea. The old man no longer paid attention to it, lowered his head and swung out the fishing line again. This time, it took about a stick of incense. The old man's expression changed, and he yanked the rod with his left hand and his right hand. Du Jie looked at the fishhook as if it was something new. Look everywhere. I saw a huge black shadow flying over quickly. Du Jie was so frightened that he threw down his fishing rod and took two steps back. When he looked closely, he saw it was a black horse! The horse stared wide-eyed and still couldn't believe that he was actually caught here. The old man didn't give him any time to react. He opened his pocket and followed the horse's momentum and put it into his pocket easily. At this moment, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and the big raindrops fell on Du Jie as if they were free of money, but he was completely unaware of it. He opened his mouth and pointed at the pocket, wanting to say something but unable to speak. However, the pocket struggled a little and then became quiet again, and became the same size as before, not like it was packed into a horse.
The old man didn't show much expression when he saw Du Jie's reaction. He just said: "Boy, it's rare for people to come here. It's raining heavily now. If you haven't caught a wild boar by the time the rain stops, there's nothing the old man can do." ." After saying that, the old man began to throw the pole on his own again.
It took Du Jie a long time to recover from the rain. He held the two-foot-long fishing rod in his hand and mechanically threw the fishhook to the grass under the rock. Just a moment ago, he didn't believe that it could be done here. After catching a wild boar, he saw that the old man next to him caught so many incredible things in succession. He had some doubts as to whether the grass under the rock was real.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Du Jie's vision seemed to be scattered, and he could hardly open his eyes. Du Jie thought to himself that he was now an anecdote, fishing for wild boars on the grassland on a rainy day. If I tell the third senior brother about this in the future, he will definitely think that he has lost his mind and gone crazy.
If a person is unlucky, even the next rain can cause a torrential downpour. While Du Jie was complaining about the damn weather, he suddenly felt the bait hook falling sharply. Du Jie hurriedly grasped the fishing rod tightly with his hand, and then pulled it back hard. While pulling, he thought that he might have really caught a wild boar. Why is everything on this grassland biting the fishing line? The thing on the bait hook didn't seem to struggle, and Du Jie pulled it back very smoothly. When he got closer, Du Jie wiped his eyes carefully and saw what kind of wild boar it was. It was clearly a tattered oil umbrella.
This is good, I caught a broken umbrella on a rainy day, and it looks like it can still be used. The old man next to him looked at Du Jie and smiled for no reason when he saw that he had dropped an oil umbrella. However, it was strange that even though the old man was wearing a raincoat and hat, there was no drop of water on his body despite such a heavy rain. , this is simply incredible. The old man just smiled and said nothing, and Du Jie held up the umbrella regardless. Then he threw the bait hook back into the grass. The broken oil umbrella seemed useless and was being beaten noisily by the rain. Du Jie felt that he must look very funny now, and he couldn't stand the violent rain anymore. If it weren't for the incredible things here, Du Jie even doubted whether he would pinch the old man and tell him how to leave this place.
The fire in Du Jie's heart was getting stronger, and he suddenly felt that another prey was hooked on the bait hook. He hurriedly pulled the fishing line back, and soon a bright thing hanging on the hook came up bit by bit. It turned out to be a broad sword. Du Jie frowned instinctively when he saw the weapon, and the old man next to him also had a flash of light in his eyes, and the fishing rod in his hand moved slightly. Du Jie took the broad knife in his hand, fiddled with it casually, then threw it behind him without hesitation, and shook his head secretly. The old man watched Du Jie finish all this with cold eyes, showing no expression at all. I can't tell what I'm thinking about.
Du Jie was extremely angry now. Why was it so strange here? All the things he caught were messy things. I just thought about having an oil umbrella to protect me from the wind and rain, but I ended up picking up a broken umbrella. Just now, I was holding back my anger and wanted to beat up the old man next to me, but instead I got a knife from him. Wait, could it be...
Du Jie's mind suddenly flashed, as if he suddenly caught something, he kept tapping his knees with his fingers. Umbrella, knife. Could it be...? Du Jie turned back to look at the old man at this time, and asked with his chest rising and falling: "Old sir, is this the mirror of creation?" After saying this, Du Jie stared at the old man without blinking. The old man was very calm and continued to sit as steady as a mountain as if he didn't hear anything.
Du Jie asked several more questions without giving up when he couldn't get an answer, and finally concluded that the old man was deaf. Du Jie was a little uneasy when he thought that this place might be the mirror of creation. But if this was the realm of creation, then all the absurdities here would be explained. According to Zi Wuyu's conclusion to himself at that time, in the realm of creation, The human soul is the highest existence. You can do anything you want, let alone catch a wild boar on the rocks. Thinking of this, Du Jie had a plan. I closed my eyes and thought about the appearance of the wild boar over and over again in my mind. Du Jie had hunted wild boars many times in the northwest. At that time, there were constant wars, and the only thing in the army that could improve the food supply was these game meats. Whenever he thought of the smell of wild boar at that time, Du Jie could never forget it, imagining that it would not be easy to catch a wild boar by himself.
Just as he was thinking about it, Du Jie's bait hook indeed sank again. Du Jie was overjoyed and hurriedly opened his eyes and pulled the fishing rod back. He felt the weight on the bait hook, which really seemed like a wild boar. Unexpectedly, the first level was completed so easily. Du Jie couldn't help but laugh out loud. But when the bait hook was brought closer, Du Jie was speechless, and the old man next to him burst out laughing.
On the bait hook was a roasted whole pig, browned and oily. Du Jie's mouth became filled with saliva when he smelled the smell. The fishing rod in the old man's smiling hand trembled a little: "Little guy, it's not so easy to have a clear mind. Seeing that the rainstorm has become smaller, if you want to wait until it stops, the old man will have to gone."
Du Jie was anxious. He looked up at the sky and sure enough, the clouds were rolling in and the darkness was no longer as thick as before. It seemed that the rain would stop in less than two minutes. I was really thinking about the wild boar just now. Could there be something wrong?
"If your mind is empty, the rain will no longer be rain. If you can feel the rain now, then it will really be rain. If your mind is not distracted, the rain will no longer be rain. If you cannot be nothing but the heart, then this wild boar I'm afraid I won't be able to catch anything." The old man said some irrelevant words as if he was trying to provoke Du Jie.
"Thinking is empty? Is it nothing but the heart? If the rain is not rain, it is rain?" Du Jie thought and finally bowed his head in silence. After a long time, he muttered to himself: "If you get your true mind, this sky will no longer be the sky, and the clouds will no longer be the same." Yun, the rock is no longer a rock, and I am no longer me. Everything follows one's heart, and the sun, moon, mountains and rivers are all in the same place, let alone a wild boar. Thank you for the advice, old man!" Du Jie seemed to have figured out something and smiled at the old man. After saying goodbye, he looked up at the sky, then smiled and said: "I'm afraid the rain won't stop. But I don't want to wait here anymore." He lightly threw the fishing rod out, and after only a moment , the fishing line on the grassland struggled desperately. Du Jie was overjoyed and pulled the fishing line back with all his strength.
Sure enough, a wild boar was bitten hard and was caught. Du Jie hurriedly stepped forward to hold it down, and then said happily to the old man next to him: "Old man, I really caught the wild boar."
The old man nodded and said: "Well, your understanding is pretty good. Well, since you passed the first level, I will send you to the second level. The second level is in the grass under the rock."
"Thank you, old man. Is the entrance down there?" After Du Jie and the old man put the wild boar into their pockets, Du Jie turned back and looked at the grass on the ground. However, everything seemed normal on the ground and there was no entrance in sight.
"Old sir, where is the entrance? Old... Oops!" Before Du Jie could finish speaking, he felt someone kicked him hard on his butt. He then somersaulted and carried off the rock. Du Jie saw that Du Jie was about to fall to the grass and be eaten by a dog. Suddenly, a white light appeared on the grass and Du Jie disappeared out of thin air.
The old man looked at the place where Du Jie disappeared just now, then thought about it and said with a smile: "Since I sent you there, I might as well give you something good." After that, he opened the bag and poured it all into the grass. The hares, leopards, horses and wild boars disappeared into the grass one by one. The old man nodded with satisfaction after seeing it, and then laughed loudly.
