Chapter 604

Speaking of this, the ghost cultivator giant pretended to be unintentional, but cast a glance, secretly staring at Sun Sun Lingtong.

Before Sun Sun Lingtong could react, Unlike Ning Zhuo's thoughts were conveyed through the Human Life Hanging Thread.

Sun Sun Lingtong only heard Unlike Ning Zhuo give a light laugh: "Boss, go ahead and look. I can roughly understand the habits of this angler. You just need to praise him profusely afterward."

Sun Sun Lingtong naturally knew his brother, who had been studying the human heart since the age of two. In the struggle for the Lava Immortal Palace, both the City Lord's Mansion and Zhu Zhu Zhu Xuanji had been played in circles by him, showing the latter's attainments in this aspect.

Sun Sun Lingtong followed the advice.

He stretched out his head, saw the strange fish in the fish basket, and opened his mouth directly: "Wow! What a big fish."

The ghost cultivator giant's spirits were immediately lifted.

Sun Sun Lingtong marveled while examining this Bone-Holding Silver Carp.

He saw that the silver carp's skin was semi-transparent, and the internal organs and fish bones could be seen from the outside. The fish bones were hard, deep gray, and spread from the fish head, forming a chainmail from the inside out, covering the entire body.

It jumped from time to time in the fish basket. Every time it moved, the internal organs burst out with blue-green firelight, and the three barbs at the end of the tail would stand upright, stabbing fiercely in all directions.

Sun Sun Lingtong examined it quickly and continued in his mouth: "Wonderful! Such a silver carp has rugged bone armor, tail barbs that break the waves, gills that expand like drums, and red eyes containing stars. What a fine specimen."

The ghost cultivator giant tried hard to maintain his posture, his tone calm, feigning humility: "To tell you the truth, it was just luck that I caught it."

Sun Sun Lingtong moved his gaze from the fish and fixed it on the ghost cultivator giant's face: "Brother, for you to be able to catch this kind of fish in the River of Oblivion, the choice of location must not be simple. Just this eye for detail is comparable to Bo Le judging a horse!"

The ghost cultivator giant's mouth corners lifted slightly, then he tried hard to suppress them: "You hit the nail

on the head. To catch good fish, you have to aim at the fishing spot. Among them, there are differences between deep and shallow water. How to bait in deep water and how to fish in shallow water, there are all theories to it."

Sun Sun Lingtong nodded repeatedly: "Although I didn't see the situation when you caught it, I can guess that to catch such a strange treasure, one must have extremely high strength, supplemented by superb fishing skills, to succeed."

The ghost cultivator giant could no longer suppress the corners of his mouth, grinning and laughing: "Besides my main study of military strategy, my greatest pleasure is fishing. Among the hundred arts of cultivation, I am most proficient in this way. It is indeed that I have put in a lot of hard work and effort."

"It is indeed a pity that you did not witness it with your own eyes. At that time, I saw a fish take the bait and immediately swung the rod like a sword. This evil creature actually wanted to wag its tail and escape, so I used the 'Upside-Down Onion' martial art to unload its brute force, and then used the 'Figure-Eight Ring' technique, borrowing the water's momentum to circle and draw Taiji. It charged left and right but was eventually trapped within a square foot."

"After a stalemate for half a cup of tea like this, I finally caught it."

Sun Sun Lingtong clapped his hands in praise: "Amazing, amazing..."

He mingled in the marketplace and had great eloquence. Under continuous flattery, he made the ghost cultivator giant laugh heartily and feel very happy.

Sun Sun Lingtong quickly identified his temperament, which had a part that liked to be a teacher, so he immediately asked for advice, saying that he was also interested and wanted to learn his fishing skills, his site selection, and how he made bait and baited the water.

The ghost cultivator giant suddenly restrained his smile and looked Sun Sun Lingtong up and down: "Little brother, have you also cultivated the Heart-Forgetting Technique?"

Sun Sun Lingtong's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Why is fishing involved with some Heart-Forgetting Technique? There must be a connection!"

His thoughts turned like lightning, and he bit the bullet, continuing to express his willingness, saying that he really wanted to learn this kind of technique and learn fishing skills.

The ghost cultivator giant stared at him: "You have already achieved Foundation Establishment, and you still want to change your technique? Although one does not regret after Jin Dan, changing techniques after Foundation Establishment is a huge toss and very troublesome."

"Are you determined to change?"

Sun Sun Lingtong did not speak, only looking at him with a firm gaze.

The ghost cultivator giant sighed: "You are also trapped by love."

"Wanting to practice the Heart-Forgetting Dao is indeed the first choice."

"Our Heart-Forgetting does not mean heartless. Remember, you must not go to the extreme and practice the Heart-Extinguishing Dao. That is a demonic path, and it is no longer human."

Sun Sun Lingtong felt a bit funny when he heard this ghost cultivator talk about what is not human.

Unlike Ning Zhuo listened, but felt helpless and desolate.

The ghost cultivator giant began to talk endlessly: "If you change to practice the Heart-Forgetting Technique, fishing in the River of Oblivion can complement your cultivation."

"The emotions and memories that trouble us can all serve as bait for fishing."

"Whatever emotions and memories we consume, we can attract whatever kind of fish to take the bait!"

Sun Sun Lingtong suddenly realized something and looked at the Bone-Holding Silver Carp, thinking that the ghost cultivator in front of him must have obsessions that are difficult to realize, so he used it to fish as a way to adjust.

"Well, meeting is fate. The Dharma is not easily passed on, and due to sect rules, my main cultivation technique is not convenient to teach others."

"But I can teach you a thing or two about fishing skills."

"I have spare fishing rods, lines, and hooks here, you take them first."

After speaking, the ghost cultivator giant took out three treasures from his storage belt and handed them to Sun Sun Lingtong.

These three were a long spear, a ball of red thread, and a copper coin, all of which were magic treasure level.

The ghost cultivator giant tied one end of the red thread to the spear tip and the other to the copper coin, stuffing it into Sun Sun Lingtong's hand.

"You need to attach your own emotions to the copper coin and cast it out."

"The most basic way to cast the line is the overhead cast. If you encounter a headwind or many obstacles, use a side cast. Sometimes when fishing in grass holes or bridge piers, use a swing cast. There is also the method of skipping stones, letting the bait bounce a few times, which can attract carnivorous fish."

"Now by the River of Oblivion, the river surface is wide, just use the overhead cast."

"I will teach you the overhead casting skill, called 'Green Blade Breaking Waves'. This fishing skill has sharpness and can pierce the river surface, reaching deep into the river water."

The ghost cultivator giant then recited the formula.

Sun Sun Lingtong's comprehension was amazing. He understood it after hearing it once and asked a few questions, all of which hit the core.

The ghost cultivator giant answered them one by one, and Sun Sun Lingtong couldn't wait to start.

It was just the first time he cast, and he cast very well.

The fishing line drew a long arc like an arch bridge in the high sky, and then with a sword hum, it directly pierced the river surface, which was as thick as molten metal, piercing all the way to the depths of the river.

The ghost cultivator giant looked at Sun Sun Lingtong in surprise: "Little brother, it seems you are very suitable for fishing."

As he was speaking, a gust of gloomy wind swept by, causing the river surface to ripple faintly.

Seeing this scene, the ghost cultivator giant frowned slightly: "Be careful, the river waves are rising."

"Although we are protected by the river embankment and won't be swept into the river waves, our memories will suffer."

"Every slap will take away our most recent memories, so be careful!"

Sun Sun Lingtong was shocked: "What?"

It was too late.

The next moment, the river waves rushed towards them, slapping on the black stone river embankment, splashing waves into the sky.

The waves splashed on Sun Sun Lingtong's face, and Sun Sun Lingtong's heartstrings tightened: "What did I forget, what did I forget?!"

The water of the River of Oblivion fell on the living beings, and immediately evaporated into gas, rising and disappearing without a trace.

"Eh?" Sun Sun Lingtong discovered that a precious seal appeared in his soul.

The Empty-Nothing Seal!

The power of the River of Oblivion was covered by this seal and immediately dissipated without a trace.

"I... seem to have forgotten nothing?"

"Wait!"

"If I really forgot something, how could I know?"

"Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo!"

Sun Sun Lingtong asked Unlike Ning Zhuo when he was indecisive.

The Human Life Hanging Threads were connected, making it extremely convenient for the two to communicate with their spiritual sense.

Unlike Ning Zhuo had been paying attention all along and quickly checked with Sun Sun Lingtong, confirming that the latter had not lost any memories.

"Is it the Empty-Nothing Seal?"

"Just the seal alone can have such protection. It is worthy of being the town-sect treasure of a super sect!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed endlessly.

Sun Sun Lingtong guessed: "Perhaps, it is also because we accidentally absorbed the bone marrow of the Void Evil God in the Thousand Peaks Forest, causing my Empty-Nothing Seal to mutate."

In any case, he was safe.

Unlike Ning Zhuo reminded him at the right time: "The water of the River of Oblivion indeed has this effect. Boss, be careful, don't show your feet. Maybe this mysterious ghost cultivator is deceiving you?"

"Hmm!" Sun Sun Lingtong nodded secretly and turned to stare at the giant ghost cultivator.

The ghost cultivator wiped his face, wiping away the water stains on his face.

It was strange. Normally, the water of the River of Oblivion would evaporate quickly when it fell on living beings, but on him, it was like normal river water.

Sun Sun Lingtong's heart moved, and he secretly guessed: "Is it because of the Heart-Forgetting Technique he practices?"

The ghost cultivator giant also saw Sun Sun Lingtong and showed a look of vigilance: "Who are you?"

Sun Sun Lingtong smiled slightly: "Brother, we just met, hit it off, and talked happily."

"You even taught me fishing skills. For example, the fishing skill 'Green Blade Breaking Waves'..."

As he spoke, Sun Sun Lingtong quickly explained the content of the fishing skill.

The ghost cultivator giant laughed loudly and let down his guard: "That's right, this is the 'Green Blade Breaking Waves' I created myself. Except for me, no one else knows it."

"It seems that you are really my good friend."

"Hmm... I guess I am lonely. Fishing alone is too boring, and I want to develop you into a fishing buddy."

"Did I not tell you about the danger of fishing by the River of Oblivion?"

Sun Sun Lingtong nodded: "You will forget previous memories, right."

The ghost cultivator giant: "I forgot, but little brother you didn't forget. Sure enough, you have something to rely on, so you dare to come to the River of Oblivion."

Sun Sun Lingtong's heart tightened, and he probed: "Brother, you often fish here. With your strength, can't you get one or two magic treasures to resist the power of the River of Oblivion?"

"You just gave me three magic treasures as soon as you said so, and assembled them into fishing gear!"

As he spoke, Sun Sun Lingtong raised the fishing rod in his hand.

The ghost cultivator giant patted his forehead: "Haha, I said the long spear in your hand looked so familiar. I even gave you these, which shows that we really hit it off!"

"It's nothing." He waved his hand heroically. "I am the first general under the Lord of Oblivion, the Heart-Forgetting Ghost General Luo Si. As for this spear, I'll just go back and get another one. The copper coins and red thread were also given by others."

"As for why I come here, it is to fish while using the river water to forget memories and feelings, and to help my cultivation. I am here to drink this river water!"

Sun Sun Lingtong was shocked when he learned the identity of the ghost cultivator giant for the first time.

He didn't expect that his first exploration of the underworld would accidentally lead to meeting a high-level official of the Underworld of Oblivion!

He immediately cupped his hands: "Lord Luo Si, I am Sun Tong. I am new to this precious place. I heard that your mansion is having a big move?"

Luo Si nodded: "You were attracted by the black snow, right? Recently, there have indeed been many ghosts running over from other places."

"The big move you mentioned, do you mean the ceremony controlled by the Mansion Lord himself, or the siege battle I am responsible for?"

Sun Sun Lingtong immediately asked along the way: "Your mansion seems to be attacking an immortal city in the human world, but it has been unable to capture it for a long time?"

Luo Si: "We are indeed attacking, but don't listen to others' nonsense. We have just started fighting. What do you mean by unable to capture for a long time? At least it has to be two or three years without capturing it to be considered unable to capture for a long time."

"After all, the target is a dignified immortal city! And it is in the human world, so many of our mansion's strengths and means cannot be displayed."

Sun Sun Lingtong laughed: "Human world..."

Luo Si looked at him deeply: "Little brother, if you want to wander around the human world, the Yin Tide Black Swamp Wetland is indeed a good place."

"In the past, that Nether Flood Dragon had a solid foundation, possessed superior talent, and was outstanding in talent. It created the 'Yin-Yang Wheel Turning Technique', wanting to go against the sky, transform Yin into Yang, and almost succeeded during the tribulation, but it was just that line away and suffered heavenly condemnation."

"After it died, its supernatural powers transformed a region, making Yin and Yang communicate, and it forcibly created a precious land."

"It is fate that you and I can meet by the River of Oblivion."

"Since that is the case, I can recruit you to join the army. Although there is no military position, you hold my token, so you will not be restricted by the army and can act freely."

These words made both Sun and Ning hesitate.

Unlike Ning Zhuo secretly reminded: "Be careful, Boss."

Sun Sun Lingtong simply said bluntly: "Brother, I am only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and you are a dignified Nascent Soul level existence. Why did you give me magic treasures and give me such great convenience when we first met?"

If the other party pushed it to something like hitting it off, it would be too fake.

After all, he had just been washed by the river water and had dissipated his recent memories.

Luo Si laughed loudly: "I'm not afraid to tell you. I was framed by family enemies and died. I didn't even enter the ancestral hall and became a lonely ghost. I was extremely unwilling and determined to take revenge."

"But falling into the underworld, the desire for revenge was too strong, almost making me fall into a monster!"

"I was also lucky. When I was confused, I met the Gray Bone Old Man and got his help, which solved the danger, and my sanity almost dissipated completely."

"I naturally wanted to repay him. He told me that saving me also had a plan, calculating that I would be useful to him in the future."

"I agreed immediately to help him in the future."

"He told me that I still need to go through three tribulations in my life, and only after the three tribulations will I have the qualifications to help him."

"The technique I practice and the practice of using the River of Oblivion water were all taught by him."

"I have received a lot of help from him and want to repay him, but the time is too long and there is no end in sight, so I practiced fishing skills here, and the fish I caught were all filial to the old man."

"A few days ago, he wrote to tell me that I would have my first tribulation and told me the method to resolve the tribulation."

Speaking of this, Luo Si paused slightly, recalling the content of the letter — Luo Si, you want to kill your way back to the human world for revenge. This person you met is extremely critical and concerns your true master in life! If you form a good relationship and join his command, it will be of great benefit to you in the future!
