C955 The Old Fisherman
In this place, Lin Yi could feel a strong life force. That feeling was truly wonderful.
Lin Yi even forgot where he had come from just now. Such a strong contrast in scene made him unable to react for a moment.
"Is this really the eighteenth level of hell? Could it be that someone is playing with me?" Lin Yi muttered to himself. He really couldn't react in time.
"There is indeed someone playing with you, but it's not me." A voice suddenly came from the riverside. Lin Yi immediately looked over. At this time, he saw an old man wearing linen clothes fishing by the riverside.
In the 18 layers of hell, there was actually someone fishing. What the hell was this!?
Lin Yi raised his vigilance and walked over. He wanted to see who this old man was.
The old man was very serious about fishing, so when Lin Yi came to his side, he didn't have much of a reaction.
Lin Yi could clearly see that there were countless fish in the river, densely packed together.
However, not a single fish bit the hook. This was an extremely strange situation.
Lin Yi looked at the fish and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, is there no bait on your hook? Why aren't these fish taking the bait?"
The old man gently raised his fishing rod and hooked a fat earthworm onto the hook. Then, he placed the hook into the river.
Lin Yi was puzzled. Since there was bait, why didn't the fish take the bait? Could it be that these fish didn't like eating earthworms?
"I didn't see it. It must be true. Little guy, where did you come from? These 18 layers of hell aren't any fun places." The old man said with a smile, giving off a kind and amiable feeling.
Lin Yi savored the first half of the old man's words and felt somewhat puzzled. Hearing the old man ask him this question, he smiled and said, "Senior, I came from a place called the Martial Saint World. After entering a door, I mysteriously came to this Yin room. However, it's really strange. From the moment I entered the netherworld, until now, I only see you, a living person, in the netherworld, as if someone had slaughtered you once. Even Meng Po and the others are dead!"
"Oh? It's like this. I was still puzzled. This netherworld has already been abandoned. Why would there still be people coming? Moreover, it was a living person. Hehe, little guy, how did you get in here? I, this old man, don't know... But I can answer your second question." The old man said with a smile, although he was talking to Lin Yi. However, he was still looking at the surface of the river attentively, as if those fishes were really going to take the bait.
"The second question? Could it be... Senior, do you know how the people here died? To be able to commit such a crime here, this person must be extremely ferocious. Senior, to be able to keep your life, your strength is truly not simple." Lin Yi flattered the old man. This old man was able to fish here. His identity must not be simple. Right now, he was worrying about how to get out of this damn place. If he could get his help, it would be much easier.
"Ferocious and vicious? Hehe, this word is used very well, I like it very much. However, there is one thing that you have guessed wrong. I did not keep my life in that person's hands. Because I am that person, that vicious fellow. How is it? Do you feel very surprised?" The old man said with a smile. His words caused Lin Yi's facial expression to change dramatically. He immediately flew backwards, maintaining a distance of 100 meters from the old man.
The old man turned around and looked at him. He sighed and said, "Why are you so excited at such a young age? It makes me feel like I'm really ferocious and ferocious. Let's not talk about whether I can kill you or not. Even if I can kill you, I have no reason! "
" Do I need a reason to kill someone? The fact that you can annihilate the entire netherworld is enough to prove your ferociousness. Would I believe the words of a person like you? " Lin Yi sneered and spoke rudely.
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "If you were me, you would have been fishing here for tens of thousands of years. Your temper has also been worn out. Calm down, you have almost traveled through the entire netherworld and only found me able to speak. Don't tell me you don't have any feelings for me? Why do you need to fight and kill? "
The old man turned his head around and shook his fishing rod. There were still many fish heads below, but there was still not a single hook.
Gulp. A light sound came from within the elder's body. It was clearly the sound of hunger.
Lin Yi looked at him in confusion and said, "I don't know why you can't catch any fish. I'm also very curious. There are so many cows and sheep here. Since you are hungry, why don't you kill some to feed yourself?"
"Cow and sheep? Do you think all you see are cows and sheep? As the saying goes, flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water. Don't you understand the motherf * cker of the eighteenth level of hell? " When the old man said this, his fishing rod suddenly bent. This slight movement immediately caused the old man's face to be filled with joy. He carefully lifted the rod. He caught a small fish about ten centimeters long.
After catching this fish, the old man was wild with joy. He shouted at Lin Yi, "Young man, thanks to you, I finally caught a big fish. I'll treat you to a bowl of fish soup today. Hahaha..."
Lin Yi was still wondering what the old man had just said. Now that he saw the old man's expression, he really didn't know what to say.
There were so many big fish in the river, yet the old man was so happy just by catching a small fish. Could there be something wrong with the old man's brain? And these cows and sheep, no matter how he looked at them, they were all real. Why did he say they were like a mirror?
"Such a small fish, you should eat it. I'll go kill a sheep and roast it. It's much better than eating fish." Lin Yi turned around and walked towards a sheep. The old man revealed a mocking smile. Without stopping him, he looked at Lin Yi slashing at one of the sheep.
The moment the blade touched the sheep's fur, Lin Yi felt that something wasn't right. It was as if the blade had cut through the air.
Sure enough, the blade had cut through the sheep's body. The sheep was still the same. It didn't suffer any injuries.
"F * ck! These sheep are really an illusion. Who on earth did this? Why are they so wicked? Old man, this can't be your masterpiece, right?" Lin Yi couldn't help but shout out. This kind of situation was really too strange.
The old man shook his head lightly and said, "Do you think that I'm really bored to the point of making so many fake sheep? I can only watch and not eat, and want to eat myself? I'm not that bored yet! To tell you the truth, this is the f * cking part of the 18 layers of hell. Everything here actually exists, but... It's not in your dimension, so you can't kill them... Not to mention eating them. The most ruthless thing in this world isn't simply not being unable to obtain them, but rather, you can see that... You can hear it, you can smell it, but you can't get it. For example, when I'm fishing there, there are so many fish in the river. Even if I don't eat my bait, what can I do?"
"What should I do? Since those fish are real, why don't you jump down and catch them? Or use your magic power to directly catch them. Isn't this very easy? " Lin Yi had a puzzled look on his face, but the old man laughed out loud.
" Little guy, do you really think I'm an idiot? Of course I know it's easier to catch fish like that, but the rules of this space do not allow it! If I were to fish, I might be able to catch one after thousands of years. That was a fish that could be eaten. However, if I use other methods to catch it, hehe... Go and try, I wish you success."
