C459 Old Man Fishing Fish
"... " This..."
Zhou Hao was in a bit of a dilemma. However, he remembered that the Qing and Doug underwent a mysterious change after eating the Celestial Man's corpse. Thus, he nodded his head and replied, "That's right. The Celestial Man's corpse can really be eaten!"
The old man nodded and clicked his tongue again, indicating that he did not understand. Then, he muttered, "Although I haven't eaten that corpse before, it definitely won't be as delicious as the fish meat!"
Zhou Hao nodded and smiled, saying, "Of course."
In this world, what everyone wanted was different. Just like this old man, he was only interested in a delicious fish meat. No matter how tempting the Celestial Man corpse was, it couldn't compare to the delicious fish meat that he was thinking about.
This was because he was neither a cultivator nor an ordinary person. He was an ordinary person who could deeply experience seven emotions, six desires, life and death, and the time limit of his life.
This life, this world, wasn't it because of this that it was rich and colorful?
The old man smiled and carefully sized up Zhou Hao, saying, "If it was in the past, I would also be interested in the Celestial Man's corpse, and I would also be like you guys now, traveling thousands of miles to find the Celestial Man's corpse."
Zhou Hao understood the meaning behind the old man's words, so he asked in surprise, "Old mister is also a cultivator?"
The old man smiled and said, "In the past."
Zhou Hao was even more puzzled, because he didn't feel any Spiritual Energy fluctuation from this old man at all.
Any cultivator would definitely have some kind of Spiritual Energy fluctuation on their body.
That's right, the old man said that he was a cultivator in the past, but what about now?
The old man looked at Zhou Hao, as if he knew that Zhou Hao was spying on the Spiritual Energy fluctuation on his body. Thus, he said with a smile, "Little brother, you don't have to waste your time. Now, on this old man's body... I don't have a single Spiritual Energy on me. Right now, I'm just an ordinary old man, that's all!"
Zhou Hao let out a breath, feeling ashamed for what he had in mind.
The old man told him with great interest, "I used to be a cultivator who can sweep across the world, just like you. Crossing mountains and crossing mountains. ... From south to north, from east to west, he had even set his lifelong goal as ascending to the Haotian Realm. But later, he put all of this aside. Dispersing his cultivation base and returning to his normal state, he became casual and relaxed. An ordinary person who has time to fish."
When Zhou Hao heard the old man talk about these things, he admired the old man's bearing of scattering his cultivation base and felt even more strange.
Why did he scatter his cultivation base to become an ordinary person?
He asked the old man, "May I ask what realm is the old man at before scattering his cultivation base?"
The old man replied calmly, "Celestial Spirit Stage, Quasi-immortal."
"This?!" Zhou Hao was shocked.
Quasi-immortal was the First to Third Level Celestial Spirit Stage!
It was the realm that fulfilled the requirements to ascend!
This was the realm that countless people dreamt of reaching!
However, this old man actually chose to disperse his cultivation at such a realm with a bright future?!
This was not just incomprehensible, this was simply inconceivable!
Looking at Zhou Hao's surprised expression, the old man already knew what he was thinking. He must be feeling incredulous and disbelief about what he said about scattering his cultivation in the Quasi-immortal.
He maintained his calm expression and smiled faintly. He continued to speak to Zhou Hao, "At that time, I already have the qualification to ascend. As long as I'm willing, I can ascend at any time."
"Then why did you choose to give up the chance to ascend?" Zhou Hao asked.
"Give up?" For the first time, the old man showed some anger and confusion on his face, then he said, "Young man, you are wrong. This is not giving up, this is putting down."
Then he continued: "Because my lover isn't a cultivator, she can't ascend with me. She can't live forever with me either, but I can choose to return to normal. I can spend the rest of my life with her, and enjoy life together with her. I can fall sick with her, I can turn white with her, and finally die with her... ... Thus, before I ascended, I chose to scatter my cultivation base. Let go of everything in the past and return to being an ordinary person. "2
"So that's how it is..." Zhou Hao was touched and a little disappointed.
He was still feeling sorry for the old man's choice.
The old man took a long breath and said, "Life has always been about experiencing different experiences and cultivation experiences. I already have, but the experience of accompanying another cute life until my hair turns white to death... I haven't yet, so I want to do this "
Zhou Hao was touched, but he still didn't understand the old man's choice.
Maybe he hadn't met him yet, and hadn't reached that height yet.
He was a little puzzled and regretful, and said, "Senior, then if you cultivate and return, wouldn't it be even happier for your wife to live forever together with you?"
After hearing this, the old man chuckled and said, "Young man, life is precious because there is a time limit. That's why people want to fight for days and nights. I am afraid of boring things like immortality. I don't want it! "
He smiled again as if he was talking about a simple truth.
It was just like how the Celestial Man's corpse was nothing compared to a meal of fish meat in his eyes.
Zhou Hao seemed to have realized something and was greatly moved. He suddenly felt that in front of such a grand character, he seemed to be so narrow and narrow-minded.
He immediately felt ashamed.
"Listening to the words of the old mister, this junior is really greatly benefited! The old mister's magnanimity has caused this junior to be sincerely convinced!" He respectfully saluted the old man with the most solemn etiquette.
The old man put down his fishing rod and cupped his hands in return, saying, "Little brother, please do not be overly courteous. This old man was once like you. It's just that he was born a few years earlier than you, and left a little faster than you. I really don't know how to be generous. I believe you will understand the principles that I am talking about in the future. Therefore, I can't give you any advice. I can only say that I want you to understand your path ahead of time."
After listening to the old man's words, Zhou Hao was shocked once again.
The old man said, "You know the path you're going to take ahead of time. Will you still go?"
Zhou Hao pondered for a moment and replied seriously, "I am interested in going the path I have never walked before!"
"Good, good young man!" The old man gave Zhou Hao a thumbs up and then joked, "Little brother, I have to remind you that since you want to walk this path, don't go and harm mortal ladies, or else you will be just like me. Come here and fish!"
As he spoke, he began to laugh loudly.
His laughter was a smile that was not tainted by any impurities.
Zhou Hao did not expect this old man to use him as a joke, so he laughed along with him. In his heart, however, he truly admired this old man from the bottom of his heart!
At this moment, the old man's fishing rod shook. It seemed that another fish had taken the bait.
