The boy's name was Ah Jiu, and he couldn't remember his real name and first name, only that he crawled out of the pile of dead people after a plague. Four or five-year-olds spent a long time on the streets, surviving by rummaging through the garbage heaps for leftovers discarded by others.

And the dead old man in his mouth is a decadent man with broken arms, unkempt for many years, and his only preference is to drink, often drunk. Fortunately, the old man's wine is not bad, even if he is drunk, he is just talking nonsense, and he has never hurt anyone because of drunkenness.

The old man is actually not very old, he is in his fifties, he used to be a Taoist cultivator, but for some reason he broke his arms and lost his cultivation. Because the old man had no hands, he relied on his feet to carry and do things, so he fell into the habit of not liking to wear shoes, and the same is true in winter.

The old man once told the boy that he didn't want to pay attention to the yellow-skinned child dying in the garbage heap. Just when he left, the child moved, he just looked at it more, and felt that the child looked very eye-catching, so he took him back, anyway, it was a matter of a mouthful of food.

Teenagers are often bullied because they are malnourished and small. The old man saw that every time he went out to beg, he came back with a blue nose and swollen face, and the food or objects he begged for were often knocked over and robbed.

When the old man saw that he was pitiful, he taught him some simple ways, the most powerful of which was the imperial sword, which he had studied for five years. The old man warned the young man not to use it to fight with others, but only to strengthen his body, and if he was bullied, he had the strength to run away, and he must not use these moves unless he was in danger of his life.

Two months ago, the old man went to the tavern to beg for a drink, but because he drank too much and was unsteady on his feet, he accidentally rubbed a local bully, and was immediately beaten to death by four strong men. The boy dragged him back, and he lay on the mat for two days before leaving.

Before the old man died, he asked the young man to go under the rotten stove of the broken house and dig up an object wrapped in strips of cloth. said that it was something left for him to save his life, and asked the young man to go to Penglai Immortal Mountain immediately, because two months later, it was the time when Penglai Pavilion opened its doors to accept apprentices once every eighty years.

"I buried him. But he couldn't even stand a monument, so he could only put a stone on the grave. He never told me what his name was. But even if I knew, it wouldn't work, and I didn't know how to read. At this point, the young man's eyes were already wet with tears, and he wiped them and wiped them. But not a single cry.

Chu Poyu listened to the young man say so much, and he had compassion, but he didn't necessarily know how much better the young man would live with him than before. Now that he is like this, he has no idea what his fate will be in the future.

"Big brother, just let me follow you, now that the time has passed for Penglai Pavilion to open its doors and accept apprentices, I have nowhere to go. The dead old man is gone, and I'm lonely again. Seeing Chu Poxuan's silence, the young man pleaded again.

Chu Po Yu was still polite. "Little brother, it's not that I don't want to take you away, I'm afraid that you will still suffer if you follow me, and you will worry about your life. Since you have no relationship with Penglai Pavilion, the world is so big, there are still many Taoist temples that can be practiced, such as the ...... on Jiuhua Mountain."

When the young man heard Chu Poyu say this, he immediately knelt down and begged, "Big brother! Don't drive me away, you don't even want your life to save me. I'm sure I'm right to follow you. Suffering, I haven't suffered anything when I've grown up, if I want to talk about the worry of my life, if I hadn't died old man back then. I'm dying. ”

"Little brother, why do you have to do this, hurry up." Chu Poyu pulled several times, but the young man hugged his thighs so tightly that he couldn't pull at all.

"I can't afford it, if you don't agree. I can't afford it. "The young man is like a liar, like grasping a life-saving straw, but he just won't let go. Just like when the dead old man saw him, he looked right and identified the person in front of him.

Chu Poyu is a soft-hearted person, how can he endure such a plea from a young man, and listen to his pitiful background. But Chu Poxi is also an indecisive person, and he didn't give up and spent a lot of persuasion, but the young man just didn't let go, he just wanted to follow him.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, you can get up quickly." Chu Poyu finally couldn't stand the young man's bitter pleading, and he really couldn't refuse anymore.

"Really? You must not go back! The boy looked up, smiling with tears and snot on his face, he really wanted to follow the person in front of him.

"Well, it's true, you get up." Chu Poyu didn't dare to say these three words without regretting, because it was just his delaying tactic. When he returns to Linzi City, if he asks for it, it should not be difficult for Ah Jiu to make a living in the city with the ability of the moon and the wind.

"Great! Big brother, you really agreed! Ah Jiu was happy to stand up, but his legs cramped, and because he had not eaten oil and water for the past two days, his body was weak, "Oh, big brother, please help me, my legs cramped, hey, it hurts, ......"

Ah Jiu was thin and small, and Chu Poyu picked him up and put him down in the air without much effort. As soon as Ah Jiu landed and stood firmly, he scratched his head and smirked in embarrassment, after all, he felt embarrassed when he was mentioned like this.

Chu Poyu didn't understand why Ah Jiu was so persistent in following him, and he didn't understand that Ah Jiu could be so happy when he agreed. The more Ah Jiu was like this, the more Chu Poyu made up his mind, and when he arrived in Linzi City, he would definitely help him find a place to make a living.

"Big brother, my legs are no longer numb, you say, which direction should we go? I followed behind. Having said that, Ah Jiu still kept twisting his legs to relieve the sour and numb feeling of ants biting.

"Linzi." Chu Po replied simply.

"Ordered, can ...... Which direction should Linzi go? ”

Chu Poyu was also in trouble, and he didn't know where he was now. This place looks like a barren mountain, and you can't walk on your legs to find your way, so not only will you get lost and go in the wrong direction, but it will also be time-consuming and laborious.

But at the thought of walking from the sky, Chu Poyu couldn't help but feel a sea of stomach churning. However, you can only take such a shortcut, otherwise it will take what year and month it will take to reach Linzi City.

"Let's go up first." Chu Poyu looked at Ah Jiu, his expression was uneasy, and he bluntly expressed his distress, "Ah Jiu, in fact, the reason why I bumped into you that day was because I was afraid of heights. ”

Ah Jiuyi patted his chest and raised his face and said, "Don't worry, big brother, my cultivation of the sword is perfect." ”

"Okay, let's go."

"Howler! Let's go! ”

After a gust of wind, the two men by the stream were already above the clouds. The cold wind was blowing, but Chu Poyu didn't feel how smoothly he flew with Ah Jiu by his side, on the contrary, he shook even more. (To be continued.) )
