Chapter 498: My Captive Spacetime, Every Word You Say Is Important

After a while, the old Taoist with white eyebrows took out two thin bamboo poles from the house.

After arriving in front of the pond, he asked Su Mu, "Are you busy, fellow Taoist? If not, let's chat and fish for a while?"

Hearing this, Su Mu replied: "I'm not busy."

The old man with white eyebrows handed one of the thin bamboo poles to Su Mu and said, "This is a fishing rod, try it."

Seeing this, Su Mu waved his hand and said, "No need, I have my own fishing rod."

After saying that, Su Mu waved his hand and took out his fishing rod.

This fishing rod has been placed in Su Mu's Dantian space. He hasn't fished for a long time.

After seeing the wooden fishing rod in Su Mu's hand, the old man with white eyebrows was stunned and said with a smile: "Daoyou's fishing rod is much better than mine."

"I made a fishing rod when I had nothing to do. It's just a gadget. There is no good or bad fishing rod. A good fishing rod is the one that can catch fish."

The old Taoist with white eyebrows was also amused by Su Mu: "Hahaha, fellow Taoist is really an interesting person."

"However, my pond is a little different. The fish in it may need to be caught with my fishing rod."

Hearing this, Su Mu was stunned: "Could it be that the fish in Brother Yang's pond still recognize the fishing rod?"

"That's not the case. Since you want to use your own fishing rod, then give it a try."

After saying that, the old man with white eyebrows casually picked a locust leaf next to him, put it on the hook, used the locust leaf as bait, waved his hand, and threw the rod into the water. The whole process was done in one go, smoothly like flowing water.

You know what, after catching the fish, the white-browed old man seemed to become more energetic all of a sudden, and he looked decades younger.

"Using locust leaves as bait?" Su Mu asked in surprise.

He could feel that the fish in this pond were not ordinary fish, most of them should be precious fish. The locust leaves did not look special, could they really catch precious fish?

Unless the fish he raises are stupid fish.

"You should use this too, otherwise it will be difficult to catch fish." After saying that, the old man with white eyebrows tore off another locust leaf and handed it to Su Mu.

Seeing this, Su Mu suddenly felt competitive. He still couldn't believe it. Are the fish in this pond so strange?

"No, I have my own bait."

After saying that, Su Mu took out a ball of mud from his sleeve.

This mud ball is not ordinary mud, but Su Mu’s own special fish bait, which contains more than a dozen top-level medicinal ingredients.

These top-grade medicines were all found by Su Mu on the river. He didn't recognize many of them, but he could tell their quality.

With this bait that he mixed himself, Su Mu has never failed to catch any fish. He is guaranteed to kill the fish!

When the white-browed old man saw the "bait" used by Su Mu, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

Using something so precious as bait?!

He was also surprised by Su Mu's generosity.

There are several kinds of powerful medicines in this bait, which only grow on the long river of time and are unique in all the worlds. For the "fish" in all the worlds, these powerful medicines are fatal to them!

However, that is the "fish" from the "outside world".

But he is very confident that he can’t catch the “fish” in his own “pond” except his own “things”.

Because these "fish" are kept in captivity by him, they can be understood as being "trained".

After Su Mu put the bait on, he swung it hard and it fell into the center of the pond.

In this way, the two of them sat on the bluestone in front of the pond and chatted during their free time while fishing.

The reason why Su Mu was willing to spend time fishing here was mainly because he wanted to find out the old man's background.

At least he had to find out whether this old man had any relationship with "those people"

Friend or foe?

This is very important.

There was no way. Over the years, many people he met were targeting him. They would smile at him one second and then chop at him with a knife the next.

He has to be on guard!

"Brother Yang, do you usually live here?"

Su Mu asked casually and started talking.

"Yes, I basically don't go out on weekdays. My hobbies are just drinking tea and fishing."

The Taoist monk with white eyebrows smiled and replied, "Brother Su must be very busy. He has to deal with big and small matters every day and maintain the order of the river."

"Compared to Fellow Daoist Su, I am just an idler, hahaha."

After chatting for a few sentences, Su Mu discovered that this white-browed old man was very cautious and spoke very carefully. It was impossible to find any useful information from his words, so he was a little wary of himself.

"I just do the same repetitive work every day, which is boring."

Su Mu said with a smile.

"There's no one else around, and it's just the two of you living here. Don't you feel bored?" Su Mu asked again.

"Not boring at all."

"Friend Su, I just want to spend my old age in peace. Nothing else matters. I don't have any other pursuits or ideals."

“I didn’t even think about fighting for it.”

At this point, the old man with white eyebrows suddenly said seriously: "Brother Su, do you agree with my idea?"

Su Mu was confused by the sudden question from the white-browed old man.

Why does his tone sound like he is asking for some opinion?

“I agree.”

"Everyone has his or her own ideals. Brother Yang wants to choose how to live his or her life. I have no right to interfere."

Su Mu said with a smile.

"Brother Su, what I mean is..."

"Can I spend my old age quietly on this river that you guard?"

At this point, Su Mu actually heard a hint of pleading in his tone.

"Can."

"I told you, you can stay as long as you want."

"This river is so big, can I really drive you out?"

Su Mu replied.

After hearing this answer, a light flashed in the white-browed old man's eyes, and happiness was visibly expressed on his face.

Su Mu's words seemed unintentional, but to the ears of the white-browed old man, every word was of great weight!

After a long silence.

The old man with white eyebrows finally made a major decision in his heart, the most important decision in his life.

"Brother Su, I actually understand your temptation and your worries."

"First of all, I can show you my attitude."

"I am not your enemy."

Hearing this, Su Mu looked at the white-browed old man, and a glimmer of light flashed in his pupils.

Such sincere words also made Su Mu stunned.

For a moment, he didn't know how to continue testing.

Just when Su Mu was about to speak.

The fishing rod of the white-browed old man began to vibrate violently.

Seeing this, he stood up and raised his right hand gently.

He pulled a huge creature out of the water!

After seeing this huge monster, Su Mu was also stunned.

"This is?"
