Lin Yan, a programmer involved in 996, is tired of the numbness and internal friction of the city and indulges in fishing alone. He spent all his salary to equip him with a complete set of fishing gear and bait, but he still went to the air force and hunted turtles all year round.
On a return trip from a wild fishing trip, he picked up a dilapidated and heavy old wooden box in an abandoned reservoir area, which could be used for storage and sleeping. From then on, he carried the wooden box on his back and went fishing everywhere, becoming a "wooden box idiot" ridiculed by fishing friends.
No one knows that this old box made of rotten wood that everyone despises is an ancient treasure that has been sleeping for thousands of years.
Ordinary people only see fish and shrimps in human water, but they don't know that there is also spiritual water in the world that hides human obsessions and unresolved regrets, and that the ruins carry the secrets of eternal cause and effect. Lin Yan, who was on the verge of abandoning the pit, met Chen Cangxuan, the reclusive fishing ancestor, and saw the real fishing channel.
Only then did he realize that he was not unlucky but was born to be insulated from the luck of ordinary fish. He was a destined fisherman who fished for joys and sorrows and straightened out cause and effect.
After becoming a disciple and gaining enlightenment, the wooden box enlightened the soul and transformed into a god step by step, transforming from an ordinary sleeping box into a portable cave. Lin Yan no longer clings to the catch, and turns into a soul detective in the water, fishing out the dusty obsessions one by one, fulfilling the regrets of the dead souls, and resolving the evil spirits of twisted cause and effect.
He traveled across mountains and rivers to practice spiritual practice, uncovered the regrets of his master's hundred-year atonement, and resisted the covetousness of evil cultivators from other sects. Finally, he understood the true meaning of fishing and released it, abandoned the shackles of obsession, climbed to the Hookless Avenue, and quelled the catastrophe of thousands of rivers.
The troubled times will finally be peaceful, and the road will return to the ordinary. Lin Yan, who had climbed to the top of the world's fishing channel, was still walking alone by the river carrying an old wooden box. He was still an Air Force weirdo who could not catch a few crucian carp in the eyes of the world.
No one knows that this man, who has an empty pole year after year, has already transported all the joys and sorrows of the world with one pole, and has stored all the water and the universe in one box.
