Chapter 158: Affairs After Death
It is said that Nezha’s martial uncle, Jiang Ziya, encountered many incidents after leaving Zhaoge.
While passing through the Chengtang passes, he used the Earth Style technique to save many fleeing people. After reaching Xiqi, he lived in seclusion at Panxi, fishing by the Weishui River daily to make a living.
Nezha went straight to him, lifted the fishing line, and said, "Martial Uncle, your fishhook is straight. Can you actually catch fish with it?"
Seeing Nezha addressing him as Martial Uncle, and this old man doing the seemingly foolish act of fishing with a straight hook, Lv Ping’s eyes shone brightly. She realized that she might have met a true Immortal.
Though this Immortal’s words and actions were quite different from what she imagined, one shouldn’t judge by appearances. Isn’t it said you can’t measure the sea with a bucket?
Jiang Ziya, hearing Nezha’s question, stroked his beard delightedly and said, "You rascal, you only know half of the story. Old man I—"
"Alright, alright, I know you want to catch dukes and ministers. Don’t say it in my ear. When Wu Ji arrives, you can tell him."
He had just started to speak when Nezha interrupted him, leaving him both angry and intrigued. After knowing Nezha for a while, Jiang Ziya realized his martial nephew often had surprising comments and wasn’t like ordinary people. So he asked, "Who is this Wu Ji you mentioned?"
"You haven’t met him yet, but it seems you’ll encounter him in a while. Martial Uncle, I’m just curious. It’s fine for a fisherman not to be interested in fish, but if you can’t catch them, how do you make a living? By weaving fishing baskets?"
"Get lost! Your whole family weaves fishing baskets!"
