Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

Dongting Lake, Yunmengze, has eight hundred vertical and horizontal directions, and vast mist.

It is late autumn, the wind is blowing, the fog is getting thicker, and it is beginning to feel chilly.

In a reed swamp, wisps of smoke drifted out, and it was an old awning boat.

At the bow of the ship, in front of the cabin door, a man wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat was sitting on a small bench, playing with the small stove in front of him.

He looked very old. Under the bamboo hat, his hair was all gray and withered. His face had clear wrinkles and ridges, as well as spots, all showing the vicissitudes of time. His rickety body looked even thinner under the wide raincoat. There is an air of twilight from the inside to the outside, and it is already crumbling and old.

An old canopy and an old fisherman are not unusual in the 800-mile Dongting Lake.

The old man was sitting on the bow of the boat, cooking up a small stove. On the stove was a small casserole, in which light yellow brown rice porridge was being cooked. An alluring aroma of porridge and rice gradually spread.

After a while, the porridge boiled, and the old man turned around and picked up the large bowl on the side. The bowl was filled with various prepared shrimps and crabs, as well as orange-yellow roe and translucent fish meat.

The old man poured it all into the pot. As the porridge water rolled, the blue-black shrimps and crabs gradually turned red, and the jade-like and tender fish meat gradually turned snow-white. A delicious fishy and sweet smell mixed with the faint fragrance of porridge and rice filled the air. Open it up and sprinkle some salt on it, it's really exciting.

In this way, in a short time, a pot of fresh river porridge was boiled.

The old man took a small bowl, sat on the bow of the boat and began to eat slowly.

River delicacies are really fresh and fishy. They may be rare and delicious to farmers on land, but for people on boats who live on the water, they are a bit boring or even disgusting.

Xu Yang didn't care, and quietly enjoyed the fresh river porridge he had eaten for countless years.

While eating, reminiscing.

How long has he been in this world?

Twenty years?

Thirty years?

No, it’s forty years, forty-five years and three months!

Reincarnation, the mystery of the womb, the past...

It has been forty-five years since he came to this world!

"Forty-five years!"

Xu Yang sighed quietly, poured the shrimps and crabs in the bowl into his mouth, and chewed the carapace together.

He is a time traveler, the kind of reincarnation. He was reborn into this world and became an ordinary fisherman. When he was eighteen years old, he solved the mystery of the womb, restored the memory of his previous life, and determined that he was reincarnated. , time travel and rebirth.

Ignoring the years before his memory was revived, it has been twenty-seven years since he came to this world as a time traveler.

In twenty-seven years, if it were any other time traveler, not to mention becoming an ancestor and becoming a powerful person in the world, they would have achieved something small and become dominant.

But Xu Yang... is still a fisherman.

It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's that this world is more dangerous than he imagined. Although the traveler's vision, experience and knowledge can bring him a lot of help, even wealth, power, and beauty, it may also bring him All kinds of dangers and hidden dangers, even fatal disasters.

In the feudal dynasty and the ancient world, classes have been completely solidified, and the channels for advancement have basically been blocked. As a helpless fisherman, once the advantage of a time traveler is revealed, it will be no less than a child holding gold to survive the bustling city. What will happen to him? Needless to say.

Therefore, after more than twenty years, Xu Yang is still a fisherman...at least on the surface.

But during these two long years, Xu Yang did not do anything. On the contrary, he accumulated a lot.

…

These days, time travelers have more or less cheats, and Xu Yang is no exception.

He has a properties panel!

Although this attribute panel does not have the function of adding points or experience tasks, it can give or solidify Xu Yang's abilities.

The method of solidification is also very simple. As long as Xu Yang persists and does one thing for many years, even if it is something as trivial as eating, drinking, sleeping and breathing, the attribute panel can solidify it into a skill and generate various characteristics. .

These skills and characteristics have the power to turn decay into magic.

Take diet as an example. Xu Yang's current diet skill has five skill characteristics, namely chewing, digestion, energy, strengthening, and smoothing.

Among them, the effect of chewing is that chewing food is more efficient. With a pair of powerful teeth, Xu Yang can easily chew the carapace of shrimps and crabs, even pig bones and cow bones, and then use the "digestion" characteristics to quickly digest them. It digests, absorbs nutrients, and strengthens itself.

Then the essence and body strengthening will allow him to obtain more essence and nutrients from food, obtain a stronger food supplement effect, and strengthen his body.

Others can only absorb 30% to 40% of the nutrients after eating a pound of meat, but he can absorb 50% to 60%, or even 70% to 80%, and exert the body-building effect of these nutrients to 100% or 120%, which is equivalent to doing two meals per pound. Used for kilograms.

As for the final smoothness... it means smoothness up and down. You never need to worry about constipation.

Okay, this thing is a bit useless, but ignoring this, the effects of the other four skill characteristics are still very powerful.

Coupled with other skills, such as sleeping, breathing, cooking, fishing, breeding, etc., although Xu Yang is still an old fisherman living at the bottom, his physical fitness is far better than that of a young and vigorous man, and even Comparable to legendary warriors.

Yes, legend has it that for ordinary people like him, every warrior is a legendary figure, an existence that is elusive.

In addition to a strong body, these skills also give Xu Yang a long life and various income-generating skills. Even if he does not use the knowledge of time travelers and only relies on his current fishing and hunting skills, he can become a wealthy family on the 800-mile Dongting Lake. Weng.

But he didn't do this, because it was equally dangerous. There was a hope of reaching the sky in one step, but there was also the possibility of his body sinking to the bottom of the water.

With the help of the attribute panel, he can save money secretly and grow steadily. There is no need to take such risks, attract disaster and threaten himself.

Therefore, after so many years, Xu Yang is still a fisherman, an old fisherman.

Due to living conditions and medical standards, most ancient people's lifespan was not long, especially for people on ships. Forty or fifty years old is already an advanced age, and there are basically no sixty or seventy year olds. The hard work in the wind and rain is too overdrawn. Life, how can ordinary people survive such an age.

At Xu Yang's age, in the eyes of ordinary people, he has only a few years left to live, so it would not be unusual to die one day.

But in fact, Xu Yang has only lived less than one-third of his life and is at the peak of his life. Even if his lifespan does not increase later, he can live for another hundred years without disease or disaster.

Unfortunately, this is just a theory. An old fisherman who is over a hundred years old will definitely not be regarded as a human being, but will only be regarded as a monster. He does not even need to be over a hundred years old. In a few years, he will attract a lot of suspicious prying eyes.

"time is limited……"

Xu Yang sighed secretly, put the last river shrimp into his mouth, chewed it into minced meat and swallowed it.

Soon, a warmth rose from his belly, spreading into his limbs and bones, nourishing his body.

A pot of fresh river porridge, enough for two or three strong men, was wiped out by him alone.

In this way, I was only half full after eating.

Xu Yang, still unfinished, stood up, took a medium-sized fish basket from the side, turned back to the cabin, and opened a wooden board at the bottom in the center of the cabin, revealing a hidden cage.

There were many fish in the cage, and there were also a few turtles. Xu Yang took the net and filled the fish cages more than half full, and unpacked the rest and let them go. Only then did he walk out of the cabin and support the cages. The awning boat sailed towards the shore.

He couldn't hold it fast, but he was very steady. The old awning boat passed leisurely on the water, and soon came to a pier.

Xu Yang stood on the bow of the boat and glanced at his reflection in the water. He saw an old fisherman with a stooped body, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, and a face covered with spots and ridges. He looked like he was extremely old, looking at him.

no problem.

Xu Yang nodded secretly, parked the boat, picked up the fish basket, and went ashore with difficulty.

There was a clerk in soap clothes on the shore, sleeping on a deck chair, shaking the cattail leaf fan gently. It wasn't until Xu Yang arrived that he looked at him with drooped eyes: "Hey, Lao Xutou, you're not dead yet?"

"thanks to you."

Xu Yang, who was already stooped, smiled, carefully took out a few copper coins from his arms, counted them back and forth, and then put them on the small table aside.

"Um!"

The clerk nodded, swept the money into the bucket with a cattail leaf fan, and then ignored Xu Yang.

Xu Yang didn't say much and walked towards the fish market with the fish basket on his back.
