Chapter 481 Fishing with Empty Silk
Chen Tang was swimming upstream in the Xia River.
When there was no one on the river and no ships were passing by, he emerged, took a breath, and then continued to sink into the river.
Only in this way can you hide your whereabouts and escape by pretending to be dead.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable for Chen Tang. In the Southern Xia court, he offended Prime Minister Xia Daozi and was hunted down by the Forbidden Army as a spy of Beigan.
In the arena, Zuixian Tower was too powerful, and he had to avoid its edge.
There is also a hermit who walks in the darkness between the rivers, lakes, and courts, and the shady Xuantian Sect also wants to kill him!
Wang Xiaobo's words became a prophecy.
With his temperament, he has no strong backer in Nanxia and almost no place to gain a foothold!
Even if he is lucky enough to survive a few disasters, the troubles ahead will be endless.
Or, grow to the point where you are invincible and no one dares to provoke you.
This is obviously unrealistic for Chen Tang.
Or, hide your whereabouts as much as possible and don't attract the attention of others.
In this world, only dead people will not be noticed.
Therefore, Chen Tang rushed to Xiajiang. In addition to taking advantage of the special environment at the bottom of the river to kill Tianyin, the biggest threat, he also had another important purpose.
The golden cicada escapes from its shell and fakes death!
The fight between Tianyin and him at the bottom of the river was completely invisible to outsiders.
All the onlookers could see was blood and bubbles emerging from the river.
He was only at level 4. Faced with Tianyin's pursuit, it was obvious who would live and who would die.
Therefore, at this moment, in the eyes of He Shiyao and others, he is already a dead person.
As long as he doesn't show up, no one will notice him.
Chen Tang chose to go upstream because there were many ferry terminals downstream and there were countless ships coming and going on the river, so his whereabouts were easily exposed.
At this moment, he relied on his strong heart to swim up the river bottom.
Spend most of the time underwater.
At dusk, when the sky darkened, Chen Tang slowly emerged from the water and looked around.
The water here is fast and there are no boats staying on the water. The woods on both sides are lush and green. No one can be seen. Only the cries of cicadas and frogs are heard.
Chen Tang swam towards the shore.
Not long after, I finally climbed ashore and lay on the bluestone beach on the shore, panting slightly.
Going upstream this time was far less dangerous and difficult than practicing under the sea, but he still felt tired and a little exhausted.
Mainly because along the way, his injuries never recovered. Before entering the river, he was stopped by He Shiyao and his internal organs were shocked.
After another fierce fight with Tian Yin at the bottom of the river, the time to sit in trance and take photos has long been exhausted.
Now, he was exhausted, dizzy, and couldn't even lift his arms.
At this moment, don't talk about the master of the land list.
Even a random fourth-grade person might be able to kill him!
While he was thinking wildly, there was a rustling sound in the jungle behind him.
Listen to the footsteps, someone is coming!
Chen Tang's face darkened and he felt dizzy.
What are you really afraid of?
These people are really haunted.
He has almost done it to the extreme, but he still can't get rid of the other party's entanglement!
This is probably only one possibility.
The other party's cultivation level was far above his.
Maybe even stronger than Tianyin!
Better than the innate warrior, could a master appear?
He's a fourth-grade guy, so he won't alarm the grandmaster, right?
Chen Tang tried his best to sit up and stared at the jungle behind him.
Judging from the sound, it seemed that only one person was coming.
Which side is this person from?
The Southern Xia court, the Xuantian Sect, the Dongyi tribe, or the Zuixian Tower?
Not long after, a man came out of the woods. When Chen Tang saw it, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The person who came was wearing a coir raincoat, with gray hair, a few long strands of beard, and a red face. He was carrying a fish basket made of bamboo strips in one hand and a fishing rod in the other. He was walking towards the river. He looked like a former man. A fisherman who comes to fish. He couldn't explain why, but Chen Tang felt that this person did not belong to any force.
Perhaps, this is just an ordinary old fisherman who happened to meet him.
At least he couldn't see any traces of martial arts on this fisherman.
"Hey, brother, what's going on?"
The old fisherman emerged from the forest, noticed Chen Tang on the shore, smiled and said hello.
"Nothing."
Chen Tang still didn't let down his guard completely and just shook his head.
The old fisherman smiled, ignored Chen Tang, and walked to a slightly higher bluestone on the side. He placed the fish basket next to him, propped up the fishing rod, and sat still, looking at the rushing river below.
Chen Tang watched the old fisherman while adjusting his breath and silently recharging his energy.
After watching for a while, he regained some strength and became more energetic before standing up.
He always felt that there was something strange about this old fisherman.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Although he didn't know how to fish, he also knew that there would probably be no fish in such a fast-flowing river.
This doesn't look like a good fishing spot.
But the old fisherman was sitting here, guarding a fishing rod motionless.
It has been almost half an hour now.
Chen Tang even wondered if the old man had fallen asleep.
He pondered for a moment and walked towards the old fisherman.
If this person wanted to harm him, he would have taken action long ago, and there was no need to wait until now, so he had already let down a lot of his guard.
Coming closer, Chen Tang took another look and couldn't help but feel shocked.
He was far away just now, and he was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he didn't observe carefully.
Now, I could see clearly that there was no fish thread on the old man’s fishing rod!
The old man just sat here for half an hour, holding on to a bamboo pole that was not even a fishing pole!
"Senior, what are you doing?"
Chen Tang couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it's fishing."
The old man's eyes were half open and half closed, as if he was about to fall asleep, and he answered casually.
Chen Tang asked again: "Can I catch fish like this?"
The old man said: "If you can't catch big fish, you still have a chance to catch small fish."
For some reason, Chen Tang always felt that there was something in the old man's words.
Chen Tang said: "I've heard of people fishing with straight hooks, and those who are willing to take the bait, but this senior is even worse. Not only does he not even have bait, he doesn't even have a hook or line..."
"Why is there no bait?"
The old man turned his head, smiled at Chen Tang, and said, "That's you."
"Ah!"
Chen Tang's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but take half a step back, subconsciously clenching the long knife in his hand.
But he saw that the old man made no further movements and seemed to have no hostility.
At this moment, the old man's eyes lit up and he suddenly said: "The fish is hooked!"
Chen Tang glanced at the bare fishing rod.
Where are the fish.
Chen Tang swallowed.
This old man seems to be talking a lot, so it's better to stay away.
Thinking of this, Chen Tang was ready to leave.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the distance.
"Chen Tang, your fate is so great!"
