Chapter 28 Fishing
Saying goodbye to the teacher and leaving the school means the official end of junior high school career.

Students can check their high school entrance examination results on the school’s official website, and there is no need to come to school later, which also means that they are facing another long summer vacation.

Since it was a holiday, it was natural to have fun. Su Lie received many invitations to travel in the first few days of summer vacation, but he rejected them one by one, even Bai Yuqi and Lei Hongzhe.

Because as his strength grew, he gradually discovered certain flaws in himself, which were not external but within himself.

Since his rebirth, even though he has tried hard to integrate himself into the lives of ordinary people and use the ordinary daily life to cleanse his soul, the growth of his state of mind still cannot keep up with the growth of his strength. Now his mind and strength have gradually become unbalanced.

If we use the words of Daxuan Taoism, then there is a tendency to go astray.

Now he is like a giant dragon living among a group of ants, trying hard to pretend to be ordinary and trying hard to shrink his own strength.

But after lying down for a long time, the dragon also needs to stretch its body, and compared with the civilization of the ants, every move of the dragon will be earth-shattering to them. If the ants were weak, it would be fine, but these ants have weapons that can kill the dragon.

As a result, external threats and internal repression finally led to some subtle changes in Su Lie's mentality.

"To rest one's strength without cultivating one's nature is the first problem in spiritual practice. The ancients were not wrong..."

Feeling the power growing in his body every moment, Su Lie gradually understood why in Western movies and TV shows in his previous life that contained supernatural powers, both the protagonist and the villain would expand their abilities when they suddenly gained them.

The former showed off their saintliness everywhere and acted chivalrously, while the latter bullied the weak, burned, killed and looted.

Because their power comes suddenly, the price of their overnight success is mental imbalance, and they become slaves driven by power.

Although Su Lie is now facing a similar situation, he is not someone who will sit still and wait for death. Daxuan has accumulated thousands of years of civilization, and there is naturally no lack of methods for cultivating the mind. Meditation is one of the methods that Su Lie is trying, and it is effective.

However, this is only one aspect of his action. As the saying goes, it is better to loosen than to block.

If strengthening the mind through meditation is to block the delusions that are about to overflow, then proper venting and clearing can also reduce the accumulation of delusions.

The ancients said that you can't have your cake and eat it too. But now Su Lie is preparing to take a two-pronged approach, blocking and dredging.

"Lielie, are you interested in going fishing with dad?"

On the balcony, Su Wen, dressed as a professional fisherman, holding a fully equipped fishing gear in his hands, spoke to Su Lie.

As parents, Gao Lan and Su Wen noticed all the changes in Su Lie in the past few days.

Considering that Su Lie rejected Bai Yuqi's invitation a few days ago, they thought that there was a conflict between the two.

The whole school knew about the relationship between the two boys and girls, and as parents, Gao Lan and Su Wen knew about it. However, their attitude towards this kind of premature love was consistent with that of the school teachers. As long as it did not affect the grades and did not do anything out of line, they would not interfere.

Moreover, Gao Lan was very satisfied with Bai Yuqi, her future daughter-in-law. Otherwise, she wouldn't have talked to the girl about Su Lie's hobbies and taught her how to capture her son every time she came over.

But now, the two seem to have a "conflict", and Su Lie's mood has been obviously not very stable these days. As a mother, Gao Lan wanted to persuade him, but she thought that men should understand each other better, so she encouraged Su Wen to come over.

"Fishing"

Looking at Su Wen's outfit, Su Lie thought of his father who often returned empty-handed but was able to remain emotionally stable. Perhaps fishing can also hone one's character. There is a saying that "reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles." Although Su Lie has seen and seen too much with the help of his super senses, he is only watching. Without personal participation, he cannot experience it personally and cannot purify his soul.

So, under the delighted eyes of Su Wen and Gao Lan, Su Lie agreed to go fishing together.

Fishing is a very boring, uninteresting and time-wasting hobby for laymen, but for experts, they can spend half a day preparing bait, making nests, and casting hooks to fish, and finally wait patiently in front of the fishing rod for half a day.

Although most fishing enthusiasts are old hands, it does not affect their love for this thing at all.

Congming River is a tributary of Tangbai River flowing through Qingyuan City. The water flow here is stable and the river water is relatively clean. Whenever it rains heavily, a large number of freshwater fish flow along Tangbai River into Congming River and finally settle here.

Therefore, this place has become a check-in destination for anglers. Whenever the weather is fine, you can always see the river bank filled with calm-looking reserve air force athletes.

"Lielie, this is your first time fishing and you don't have much experience. Dad will teach you how to mix the bait first, and then I'll tell you where to place the nest so you can catch fish."

Su Wen said, putting down his sling, and skillfully took out the bait and bait basin from it, and prepared to make the bait first. But when he turned around, he found Su Lie staring at other fishermen on the river bank, and immediately smiled:

"These people are my dad's fishing friends, and they are all fishing experts. You can also take a look at how they operate first."

"Really?" Su Lie's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes could see the situation in the river through the water. The baits put down by the fishing masters were sufficient, but there were basically no fish schools where their hooks were. Occasionally, one or two fish swam over, but they were also skinny little fish.

In fact, it was not just them. Under Su Lie's gaze, the positions of most people's hooks were basically the same. At this point, Su Lie also understood why Su Wen often returned empty-handed.

Shaking his head, Su Lie no longer waited for Su Wen to teach him any fishing experience. He didn't come here with the purpose of catching fish.

Su Lie casually pulled out a fishing rod from Su Wen's many fishing rods, put a ball of freshly prepared bait on the hook, came to the river, and then swung the fishing rod. The hook and the fishing line drew an arc in the air and finally fell into the middle of the river.

Ignoring the gazes of a group of veteran air force players around him, Su Lie sat calmly on a small stool, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

"This guy is a novice, but he's quite strong. He almost threw the hook to the other side."

"Unfortunately, fishing is not about brute force, it requires some skills. Hey, my fishing rod is moving, a fish has taken the bait!"

The commotion here attracted quite a few people. Seeing someone catch a fish, many people ran over to help collect the fishing rods. As a result, after working for a long time, they finally found out that what had taken the hook was actually a small fish fry.

"Lao Liu, are you going to go back and fry the small yellow croaker? I guess it won't even be enough to fill your teeth, hahaha."

The commotion here did not affect Su Lie at all. He stared at the location of the fishhook. The fishhook with bait fell into the water and hit a small group of fish, scaring them away.

But when the turmoil of the fish school subsided, they seemed to be lured by the bait and swam towards the hook. Just as a fish was about to bite the hook, Su Lie's mood was slightly shaken, but a black carp came out from the side, and Su Lie watched helplessly as the fish's tail whipped the fish that was about to bite the hook away.

Then the fish body kept swinging, pulling away all the competing fish. Just when Su Lie thought that the fish would swallow the bait in one gulp, the black carp swam around the bait and then swam away.

"Interesting, this fish seems to have intelligence."

Seeing this scene, Su Lie's eyes lit up and a hint of red light flashed in his eyes.
