The beggar looked at the banknote and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He stared at the banknote in my hand with his mouth agape. I saw that he was mesmerized by me and immediately patted his head.
"Bang!" The old beggar immediately woke up and said in embarrassment,""I…I only have these few books.”After saying that, she stared at me as if she was afraid that I would run away.
When I heard that, I turned around and left without saying anything. I said,"It seems that I am not fated to be with you." However, he was muttering in his heart. Dream on, damn it, he must be dreaming!
The old beggar saw that he was about to leave and hurriedly said,""This little brother is the only person who has touched my head in so many years. How can you say that it's not fated? Meeting in the vast sea of people is also a blessing. Do you really not want your little brother anymore?”
I thought that he was right. I turned around and stood in front of the old beggar. I sized him up again and thought for a long time. I slowly handed over the banknote and said to the old beggar indifferently,"Change!"
This time, the old beggar was dumbfounded. He stood there motionless, as if he was in a daze, but also as if he was thinking about what to do.
When I saw him doing this again, I said," Bang!" I knocked the old beggar's head again and said,""Why don't you give it to me for free? It's just a few dozen coins. Anyway, we're fated. After this village, we won't have a chance. It's just a few lousy books. Books are a small matter, but friendship is priceless, don't you think so?”
"I'm sorry, young hero. This old beggar has poor eyesight.”The old beggar took a step back and said," Young hero, you have a dragon bone and have an immortal destiny. This little martial arts manual is no longer worthy of you. It's okay. Young hero, please take a look at this!"”As he spoke, the old beggar took out a piece of red cloth from his chest pocket. On it were three big words carved on it, the Art of Longevity!
When I saw it, my god! This was a treasure. Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling had practiced this in the past. They had only practiced the first level, but one had clairvoyance and the other had clairvoyance. They could not be killed no matter how hard they tried. Damn, was this luck? Haha, I'm rich!
But on the surface, he said casually," Oh, this is the legendary Immortal Guang Chengzi's book. It's a supreme Taoist health cultivation method. It's a good way to dual cultivate. Although it doesn't have any offensive ability, it has excellent effects on the body's condition. You can cultivate while doing that... Uh, not bad, not bad..." When the old beggar heard the word 'dual cultivation', he seemed to be suppressing his anger. He could barely hold it in anymore.
Seeing that he seemed a little angry, I didn't dare to continue lying. I said to him,"Then who are you? How could there be so many martial arts manuals? Could it be that he used to pick up trash?”
When the old beggar heard this, he hurriedly said," No, no, I'm just a carefree person who travels the martial world. It's just that I haven't eaten for a few days now. I want to use my treasures to exchange for some food and wine. Just call me Hong Qibao!"”
On the busy street, two people were facing each other, looking at each other…
"What is it? You're the leader of Beggar's Sect, Iron-digging Divine Beggar Hong Qibao?”I looked at the old beggar in shock. It was said that this old man had seven treasures on him. So they were these seven martial arts manuals! That's great. With these secret manuals, who in the world is still my match? Haha...
"That was only in the past. I'm just a beggar among beggars now.”The old beggar said with pride and nostalgia.
"En, beggar in beggar!" I shouted.
"Eh? Beggar of beggars, this name is not bad, it sounds good!”
I know that this is an expert, so I can't miss this opportunity. Perhaps with a hint, I, this mediocre dragon, will directly ascend to the sky. It's commonly known as the Flying Dragon Ascending to the Sky!
He had long realized that this old beggar was not simple. He sized him up carefully, afraid that he had mistaken him for someone else. Then, he pointed at him and said excitedly,"Brother Bao, I finally found you! I miss you so much…"
Just as he was savoring the taste of the name Beggar amongst Beggars, he heard my scream and asked doubtfully,"What did you call me? Why are you looking for me? Do we have relatives?”
I no longer cared who he was. I would rather make a mistake than miss it. I slapped my own forehead and said,"No, no, our brotherhood can't be described as relatives! I've heard of Brother Bao's heroic deeds since I was young. I wanted to befriend you when I was three years old, and I wanted to worship you when I was five. My admiration for you is like a torrential river, endless, and unstoppable. With Brother Bao's protection, I will definitely live comfortably for the rest of my life. You're the comfort treasure that I've been trying my best to find!”
When the old beggar heard this, he was naturally very happy. He laughed and immediately took out all the books in his arms and handed them to me."Here, I won't take your money. Old beggar, I'm happy today, so I'll be called beggar of beggars from now on. These few secret arts are for you. Remember to be chivalrous in the future, don't damage my glorious image!”
I was extremely excited and didn't try to be humble. I quickly kept the secret manual as if I was afraid that he would go back on his word. Then, I hugged the old beggar's shoulder and walked into the largest restaurant in the county to treat him. The waiter looked at the old beggar in surprise and was about to say something when I threw him 200 taels of silver and said,"Bring me the most expensive dishes here. I'm in a good mood today, so this is your reward!”
The old beggar was drooling as he cursed in his heart for being wasteful. Perhaps it was a little unfair. He regretted not taking my money just now. When the waiter saw the silver, he immediately treated me as his master and no longer had any objections to the old beggar. 200 taels was enough for him to be a waiter for the rest of his life.
I looked at the old beggar and patted his shoulder."Brother, don't be polite. Order whatever you want!”
This generosity made the old beggar feel embarrassed. He said rudely,"Don't serve the most expensive dishes. Let's serve a few signature dishes first.”
I was touched. What a good brother. Just as I was about to say that he didn't need to be thrifty, the old beggar continued,"Make all the dishes in this restaurant for me. I'll take them all away later.”
Fuck! He felt ashamed of his thoughts, but he touched the martial arts manual in his arms and waved his hand. He said to the waiter indifferently,"Let's go like this!"
The two of them found an empty seat by the window on the second floor and sat down. It was broad daylight, and there were really many people in the restaurant. However, they didn't disturb the two of us brothers from having a romantic conversation.
The old beggar poured a cup of water and said,""I say, little brother, you're not from the eight great sects, are you?”
"Eh, how did you know?" I asked in surprise.
"Sigh, I've traveled the martial world for more than seventy years and have seen countless people. What kind of people have I not seen?”The old beggar sighed and said proudly.
" Uh…" Thinking about it, it made sense. Yanqing Valley recorded that Hong Qibao became the leader of Beggar's Sect sixty years ago. He was already in his eighties, and they had just called each other brothers. Thinking about it, it was really…exciting!
The old beggar continued," Ever since the war decades ago, Beggar's Sect has declined. Although it's still the largest sect in Jianghu, there are fewer beggars. Although I haven't been involved in the affairs of the sect for many years, I'm still a senior in Beggar's Sect. I can't just care about myself. I should consider them. They are short of manpower now. Do you want to come?"”
" Pfft…" I spat out the water in my mouth and asked in surprise,""Beggar's Sect also lacks…calcium?"
"En, yes, they are beggars. They are in Beggar's Sect now. The salary is high and the benefits are good. I only need one word, and you will be promoted to the position of Eight Bags Elder. You will be below one person and above ten thousand people. Other than the Sect Leader, everyone will listen to you! "He's equivalent to a CEO…" Hong Qibao said proudly again.
"Um…I don't think so. I'm not short of money right now. When I really run out of money one day, I'll personally discuss it with them.”He thought, Join Beggar's Sect? Did a donkey kick my brain? I won't go even if I'm kicked by a donkey. It's great to be brothers with the old Sect Master. If we become sworn brothers, the Sect Master of Beggar's Sect will call me Martial Uncle respectfully when he sees me in the future. Thinking of this, I work harder to build a good relationship with the old beggar.
He was ready to get close to the old beggar, so he took out the seven books and said,""Brother Bao, how did you get these books? Could it be that he had some fortuitous encounter? I can see that your martial arts can be said to be the best among the best. Have you learned so many lost techniques?”
The old beggar didn't stop either. As he ate, he said calmly,""No, I haven't."
"Then how did you get these books? Did Brother Bao's master teach you this?”
"No."
"What is that?"
"I wrote it myself." The old beggar said casually.
"Puff!" I spat out another mouthful of water. Fortunately, the old beggar dodged quickly. Otherwise, I would have washed his hair for free. I looked at the old beggar in shock as if I had seen an alien. I said in surprise,"Brother Bao, are you that talented?"
"Of course, I'm the most talented!"
"Then why don't you know the martial arts on it? It must be too exquisite!”
"Yes, it's indeed exquisite. I've only learned half of it after learning it for half a lifetime. If I wasn't really hungry, I wouldn't be willing to sell it!”The old beggar said regretfully.
"Really? Then can I master it?" I moved the book closer to my chest.
"It should be fine as long as there are seasonings.”
"Hmm? What was the meaning of this? This sentence is too profound, I can't understand it at once.”
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? You'll know when you see for yourself.”the old beggar said impatiently.
"Wow, then I won't stand on ceremony. I hope Brother Bao can give me some pointers if you don't understand."
After saying that, I impatiently opened the Art of Longevity to see how much I could comprehend. Opening it, the first move: " Scrambled eggs with tomatoes ". Tomatoes were known as the magical fruit of vegetables. Looking further down, eating more fruits and vegetables was good for longevity. Moreover, eating more eggs and tomatoes was the secret to longevity!
Trembling, I put down the Art of Longevity and switched to the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Flipping to the first page, it wrote: Using his palm to cut vegetables was faster than using a knife!
I was furious. Damn it, these…these…these are actually recipes! " What the f * ck?" I threw it in front of the old beggar who was eating." Brother Bao, what does this mean? I'm young and easy to fool!"
When the old beggar heard my unfriendly tone, he finally put down his chopsticks and said seriously,"What, you want to fight?"
When I saw this, I didn't feel confident. No matter what, he was a senior who had been famous for 50 to 60 years. I suddenly felt that I didn't have enough confidence. I looked at him and almost cried out," Baby…Brother Bao…Don't play with people like this…"
