"Can a water ghost only be reincarnated after finding a substitute?"
Su Mu was somewhat curious. There were rumors about water ghosts on Earth, but there were many different opinions about what exactly they were like.
Upon hearing this, the water ghost surnamed He nodded silently, his face somewhat desolate. "Yes, and it's only when the time comes that we can find a substitute. Before that time comes, we can only endure the suffering in the water."
Su Mu didn't know exactly what this suffering was like, but seeing that the other person was soaking wet, even after getting ashore, the water was still flowing down their body, and a look of pain flashed across their face from time to time, Su Mu couldn't help but sigh.
"Are you all hungry? Shall we go fishing for a few more fish?"
Su Mu glanced at the sky, then at the campfire, and said something subconsciously.
But after saying that, Su Mu couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
These are all powerful cultivators; they have Storage Bag and such. Do they really need to go fishing themselves if they want to eat something?
Having spent so much time on Earth, I haven't fully adjusted to life here yet.
The catfish spirit and the others were also stunned for a moment. They wanted to say that they had food, but considering that the other party was Su Mu, they swallowed their words.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Su."
Su Mu was taken aback. Why did they actually agree? Didn't you have food?
Su Mu glanced at these people. Since they had agreed to what he had said, he had no choice but to go.
Luckily, Yu Shan had his fishing rod with him, otherwise Su Mu would be awkwardly searching for a gap right now.
Su Mu sat on a large rock, picked up his fishing rod, and cast it toward the center of the river.
The water ghost moved closer, intending to help Su Mu Su Mu if he couldn't catch any fish, so Su Mu wouldn't be embarrassed by his own failure.
To his surprise, the fishing rod had barely touched the ground when there was a movement.
Seeing this, Su Mu quickly reeled in his fishing rod, and a fish was thrown directly onto the shore.
Su Mu went up to take a look and found that it was a rather small fish.
Seeing this, Su Mu removed the fishhook and released the fish back into the water.
this.
The onlookers found this scene rather strange; the fish had already been caught, so why release them back into the wild?
Upon seeing this, the water ghost surnamed He paused, as if he suddenly understood something.
"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Su. I understand now!"
The water ghost surnamed He was extremely excited and bowed deeply to Su Mu.
Su Mu was just about to cast his line when he saw this and was stunned.
With his mouth slightly open, as if about to ask what the other was doing, the water ghost surnamed He closed his eyes slightly and then hurriedly ran towards the riverbank.
"Someone has fallen into the water! Everyone, please wait a moment, I'll be right back!"
After saying that, he jumped into the water and left in a hurry.
The people present looked at each other, puzzled as to what was wrong with the water ghost.
But the people didn't have to wait long. With a splash in the river, the water ghost surnamed He returned.
At this moment, however, he was completely dry, and his face faintly glowed with divine light, radiating vitality.
Brother He, what's going on?
The catfish spirit stared wide-eyed as it watched the other party leave in a hurry and return with such a change. The other party didn't look like a water ghost at all now!
"It's all thanks to Brother Su!"
After saying this, the water ghost surnamed He came to Su Mu and bowed deeply, moved to tears of gratitude.
Seeing this, Su Mu helped the other person up.
"You flatter me! I didn't do anything!"
Su Mu was ashamed; he had no idea what the water ghost had just gone through.
"What exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"
The catfish spirit standing nearby couldn't hold back any longer and quickly pressed for an answer.
Everyone else looked over as well, their faces full of curiosity.
"I found it strange when Brother Su suggested fishing. You are all cultivators; even if you are hungry, you wouldn't need to eat fish, would you? However, after Brother Su caught the fish, he casually released it back into the water. Now I understand what Brother Su meant."
"This is Brother Su teaching me. While I could drown someone in exchange for reincarnation, I could also save the other person!"
"After I came to my senses, I rushed to rescue the person who had fallen into the water. Saving a life has already been recorded by the City God. He sent me a message saying that I have endured the suffering in the water for many years and have still been able to maintain my integrity. He told me to report to the City God tomorrow and appoint me as a messenger in the underworld."
At this point, the water ghost surnamed He couldn't help but bow to Su Mu again.
Su Mu was dumbfounded. He hadn't meant it that way at all. How did the other person come up with that idea?!
Upon hearing this, the others suddenly realized what was going on.
"I see! I was wondering why Brother Su went fishing. I never imagined there was such a reason behind it!"
Gu Yu, standing to the side, wore a strange expression.
"So that's how it is! As long as you save one life, you can escape this sea of suffering! I understand now!"
Just then, another splashing sound rang out in the river, and yet another water ghost emerged, its face full of surprise.
As a water ghost, he naturally knew that the water ghost surnamed He was looking for a substitute. However, he did not expect that the other party had become so different this time, and had even become a Yin spirit. Therefore, his curiosity and hope led him to come and find out the truth, which is how he heard what had just been said.
It seems there are quite a few water ghosts in this river. Su Mu watched as yet another water ghost emerged, and suddenly realized.
The water ghost had barely finished speaking when it sped away again, saying, "Someone else has fallen into the water! I'll be right back!"
After saying that, he immediately ran off to rescue the people.
Seeing this, everyone watched expectantly, wanting to see if this water ghost could also obtain the position of a spirit.
A moment later, the water ghost resurfaced in the water, but it was somewhat different; it still looked like a water ghost.
At this moment, his face was contorted with rage. "Why? Why can he become a Yin God and serve the City God just for saving people, but I can't!"
At this point, he looked up and glared at Su Mu Su Mu, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Upon hearing this, Su Mu was also somewhat bewildered; he had no idea why!
"That's because you heard it directly, so of course it won't work!"
The catfish spirit, who was standing nearby, spoke up at this moment. Seeing that Su Mu was silent, he felt that he had also understood Su Mu's meaning.
"Didn't you see that Brother Su chose to remain silent at this moment? That's because fate cannot be spoken of; if it is, it will lose its power."
The people around who were initially confused suddenly understood after hearing the catfish spirit's explanation.
Yes, that's definitely why!
Su Mu had said before that fate cannot be sought or explained!
Isn't that exactly how it is now? Su Mu didn't say it, but the water ghost surnamed He understood Su Mu's meaning on his own, so he found this glimmer of hope.
The water ghost in front of him did as he was told, but it didn't work, because it was no longer effective after being spoken!
Su Mu's attitude just now explained everything; he simply kept silent, which clearly meant that fate cannot be spoken of!
