Chapter 2523: Forgetful River Stream
Originally, he could still see the surroundings clearly by relying on the insects, but at this moment, there was an extremely dense fog circling in front of Xiao Yan's eyes, and everything around him suddenly turned into chaos. Xiao Yan knew that he was blind in his current state.
"Senior... I seem to be unable to see anything." Xiao Yan smiled bitterly. While he couldn't see it, there was a burst of stinging pain in his eyes. The pain did not fade over time, but became stronger and stronger.
"Don't worry, it's just beginning. If your eyes adapt quickly, you can see some blurry things in ten days and half a month, but if it recovers slowly, I'm afraid it will take several years to see some. You should know that the flame you have realized is just fire. When you walked into the path of flame, you have never discovered that in addition to its own violentness, the flame also has a powerful but often overlooked energy, which is the light burst out from the flame!" The old man said slowly, and Xiao Yan nodded. As the old man said, the light... has always been ignored by him.
In addition to being filled with energy of destruction, the heat and light energy it emits are the energy of creation and intertwined with destruction. However, such energy is difficult to use, and how to use it is a problem.
The violent stinging pain in Xiao Yan's eyes began to make him keep tears in his eyes. The pain in his eyes was extremely uncomfortable. Except for invisible, the pain stimulated every sense.
Xiao Yan kept crying down, and he wanted to control it, but the pain stimulated his tear glands. Xiao Yan felt that his eyes were about to burst out. The intensity of the light was as strong as Xiao Yan expected, which must be something he could not bear.
"Without eyes, it should not be difficult for you. The soul power of the holy realm is considered to be of great talent at your level of strength. Moreover, your soul power only needs a little improvement, and you have the chance to go to the next level." The old man said slowly. Even though Xiao Yan felt pain in his eyes when he heard this, he was delighted.
"I hope you can give me more advice, senior." Xiao Yan bowed his hand and clasped his fists, and the old man looked at Xiao Yan with laughter and tears in his eyes.
"The snake swallows the elephant when you can see it. Let's talk about it~ This is a fishing rod. During this period, you will stare at the fish float. When will you see the fish float? Let's talk about something else." The old man said, and handed the fishing rod in his hand to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was stunned and took the fishing rod handed to him by the old man. Although the power of soul can be regarded as Xiao Yan's second pair of eyes, the real eyes cannot be replaced by the power of soul. The scenes built by the power of soul in Xiao Yan's mind are just phantoms, not the real world.
Xiao Yan had long used his soul power to explore the stream. There were no creatures in the stream, let alone fish, not even a small shrimp.
Xiao Yan held the fishing rod in his hand, and for a moment he didn't know why, nor did he know what the old man intended.
"But I suggest you put away your soul power and keep your eyes wide open. You need to feel it well. Fishing is actually very interesting, but you have to believe that there are fish in the water." The old man said slowly beside Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan smiled bitterly. Even if you imagine, Xiao Yan had never caught fish. Things that had not been experienced are quite difficult to imagine.
Xiao Yan sat quietly by the stream for ten days. Xiao Yan didn't move, his eyes widened, and his tears had already dried up. At this time, what flowed out from Xiao Yan were the blood and tears mixed with the blood mixed with the blood!
The pain from his eyes made Xiao Yan feel that he was blind. For ten days, Xiao Yan's eyes were still white. Even if he opened his eyes wide, Xiao Yan still couldn't see anything. The old man lived a well-organized life, fishing, farming work, and drinking tea. He was comfortable.
Xiao Yan was worried that he could not understand what the old man said. Not to mention imagination, Xiao Yan had to sit here hard.
Xiao Yan sighed, as if he had been busy practicing and strengthening his practice throughout his life, and he rarely stopped paying attention to anything else. It seemed that except for cultivation, Xiao Yan had no other hobbies, so Xiao Yan didn't understand such leisurely things at all.
However, just as Xiao Yan sighed, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly trembled, and a force pulled the fishing line in the stream, and Xiao Yan was suddenly shocked.
"Hooked up!?" Xiao Yan was shocked, but he had already detected that there were no fish in the stream, but what was pulling the fishing line at this moment?
Xiao Yan immediately raised the fishing rod and pulled it upwards hard. He heard a "bang!" sound, and the sound of the fishing line breaking. Xiao Yan was also pulled backflip because he used too much force.
"Oh? Some fish have been hooked, but it's a pity. Don't use too much force when fishing. After hooking, you use clever force. If you pull it like this, you can't catch a fish. Find the strength and use the same power as it. This is the way to fish." The old man was next to Xiao Yan at some point, and his voice slowly came out.
"Senior...there are fish in it?" Xiao Yan was puzzled.
"I said, as long as you believe it has it, then it has it." The old man replied with a smile. Xiao Yan immediately suspected that he was not necessarily true, and the power of his soul was not necessarily 100% accurate.
Or maybe this is really what Xiao Yan imagined himself??
Xiao Yan continued to sit up and threw the fishing rod out according to his feelings. Xiao Yan's heart suddenly became tense and no longer as decadent as before, because Xiao Yan now believes that there might be fish in this stream.
After waiting for a moment, the fishing rod never moved again. Three days later, there was still no movement. Xiao Yan began to doubt whether it would be just his hallucination before.
Seeing Xiao Yan deflated again, the old man's voice slowly came out, saying, "The most important thing in fishing is patience. If you want to get the fish into the bait, you may not be able to follow your wishes. As the saying goes, those who wish to take the bait will always come."
The old man's voice gradually drifted away. After hearing this, Xiao Yan relaxed a lot, his mood gradually calmed down, and he just waited quietly.
Two days later, Xiao Yan suddenly felt the fishing rod trembling. This feeling can be said to be even more exciting than Xiao Yan's breakthrough of strength. Xiao Yan was not as reckless as before. He just raised his palm gently. Xiao Yan suddenly felt power coming from the other end of the fishing rod. Xiao Yan was suddenly happy.
After some struggle, Xiao Yan successfully caught the first fish. Xiao Yan couldn't see it, but he touched the smooth fish body with his hands.
