Chapter 2, the old beggar Qinghe picks up the baby boy

"The river water in the early morning is sweet and sweet, and the dew in the morning is fragrant and fragrant, just like the little mouth of the emerald flower, and the water of the green river flows and flows, like the skin of the emerald flower is white and white......

In the early morning, a random song resounded through the middle of the river, and I saw an old beggar holding a wine gourd walking wildly on the riverside. In the eyes of ordinary people, the old beggar is a madman, but to insiders, he is a martial arts master.

I saw that his steps seemed messy, but every step was smooth and steady, which is the chassis kung fu possessed by long-term martial arts practitioners.

The old beggar threw a punch every few steps, and everywhere the fist went, he saw the trees swaying and the grass flying. At this time, no one saw the old beggar's moves, and if they could see it, they would be surprised, because this skill was the Beggar Gang's Peerless Dream Arhat Fist. It is rumored that the Sleeping Arhat Fist was created by the Arhat Chen Yao after he returned to the world, and as for why he became a beggar gang, only people above the elder level of the gang know it.

The old beggar seemed to be drunk or not, as if he was awake or not, and he did not know where he was going, and when he looked up, the sun was rising in the sky.

Gollum!

The old beggar suddenly heard his stomach begin to sing about the empty city, and at this time he had nothing but a pot of wine in his hand.

After a while, he found a straight branch, and then used his palm force to split the branch into the tip of the tree.

It was autumn and winter, and the fish in the Qinghe River were so fat that the old beggar rolled up his trouser legs and jumped into the river. Although the old beggar was a good man, he would not let the fish in the water be caught. Several times in a row, the old beggar did not stab a small fish in the twig, which made him a little annoyed.

"Grandma, have you even bullied me as an old beggar these days?" he grumbled, his stomach still growling.

At this moment, a broken bamboo raft floated down the water, the old beggar opened his eyes to see, only to see that there was a delicate cloth bag on the bamboo raft, the old beggar was overjoyed, thinking that he had picked up the treasure, when the bamboo raft was close, he opened his eyes and saw that there was a sleeping child in the cloth bag.

"Whose child is this?" muttered the old beggar as he reached out and picked up the toddler, when a white cloth with blood written on it was revealed.

"Jijiabao's youngest son, Jixi. I saw seven big red characters scribbled on the white cloth, and there was no other information.

The old beggar thought for a moment, and then carried the toddler ashore with the cloth bag. At the moment when the old beggar put the toddler on the ground, the toddler in the cloth bag suddenly woke up, and then cried and cried.

"Stinky boy, are you as hungry as I am?" the beggar smiled and threw away the branch in his hand.

"Arhat enters the sea!" I saw the old beggar shouting, one palm against the river, and then a powerful body of true qi burst out of the body.

Rumble!

I only heard a loud noise, and I saw that the river suddenly exploded five feet away. Then it seemed to rain down, and a few fat fish fell on the riverbank.

The old beggar laughed, and he seemed pleased with his palm. The toddler in the bag seemed to be very smart, and he stopped crying or making a fuss when he heard the explosion.

When the beggar had cooked the fish over the fire, the toddler began to cry again. When the beggar saw the toddler crying, he had to let the little one eat first.

The toddler looked like he was seven or eight months old, and when he saw food to eat, he opened his mouth and drooled.

"Hey, you little guy looks like a foodie, forget it, old man, I'll let you eat first. The beggar smiled and hurriedly put the fish into his mouth.

Half an hour later, the little one fell asleep after he was satisfied, which made the old beggar feel much more relieved. There were still a lot of grilled fish left, and the old beggar unceremoniously ate them all, and there were not even a few fish bones left.

"Eat and drink, little one, let's go on our way!" said the old beggar who picked up the child and left.

In Qinghe Town, at this time, people came and went on the streets, and all kinds of shouting came and went. The whole market is about two miles away, and the people of the nearby village come to this town to catch the market. There is a dilapidated temple at the east end of Qinghe Town, perhaps in disrepair, and not a single pilgrim came to worship the Buddha at this time.

I saw the old beggar holding the young child to the broken temple in the east, and after a while, more than ten people called Huazi came out of the broken temple.

"I've seen the helper!" said Hanako, who bowed when she saw the old beggar.

The old beggar smiled and replied, "They are all their own brothers, and you elders don't have to be formal." ”

"Helper, who is the child in your arms?" one of the elders asked with some curiosity.

The old beggar was silent, and after entering the hall of the broken temple, he explained: "This son was picked up by me in the Qinghe halfway, and I don't know whose child it is, but since it is fate for me to pick it up, he will be my grandson from now on, and I hope that the elders will keep it secret for me." ”

"Obey the Lord's law!" all the elders obeyed.

For all the elders, there are not many outcasts in this Great Song Kingdom, and there are not a few outcasts who have been taken in by the beggars. There are millions of people in the whole beggar gang, of which there are no less than 5,000 outcasts. However, there are very few people who can be accepted as children or disciples by the elders, and even more so than children or disciples who can become the leaders of a gang.

"Gang leader, according to the disciples of Qingniu Town, there is a family called Jijiabao who was tragically destroyed last night, I wonder if this matter is related to the Agni Gang?" an elder suddenly spoke.

"The two of the Agni Gang's Hong Lie and Hong Huo have been entrenched in Xutian County for so many years, and they have done a lot of evil things. Another elder answered.

I saw the old beggar nodding and responded: "This time, don't worry about the destruction of Jijiabao, you can't wait for me to come here from the headquarters, this time I am bound to eradicate the Demon Sect." ”

"Elder Xiao, how is the Thunder Fire Bead I asked you to prepare?"

When Elder Xiao was asked, he had no choice but to say truthfully: "Back to the Gang Master, it is not easy to obtain the main materials of the Thunder Fire Bead, and now I have only refined ten of them. ”

After speaking, Elder Xiao handed a wooden box to the helper, but the old beggar thoughtfully did not take the wooden box.

"Helper, Elder Xiao did his best, although the Thunder Beasts were first-order demonic beasts, their speed was too fast, and it was too difficult to catch them. Seeing that Elder Xiao was embarrassed, Elder Yue on the side chimed in.

The old beggar didn't blame Elder Xiao, he took the wooden box in the other party's hand, and saw that there were only ten black beads the size of eggs in the box, so he sighed: "In this case, the matter of eradicating the Demon Sect can only wait for the opportunity later." Elders, I'm going to go to Qingniu Town next, so why don't you go back to the headquarters to help out beforehand. ”

"Yes, helper! I'll be one step ahead. After saying that, the elders took their leave and left.

The old beggar's name is Xiong Dacheng, he inherited the last wish of the previous beggar gang leader, and vowed to eradicate the Demon Sect, but after so many years, he still hasn't fulfilled his last wish.

A year ago, he sent Elder Xiao and the elite disciples of the gang to Qinghe Town to find the first-order demonic beast Thunder Beast, originally thinking that a year would be enough time to capture a hundred of this beast alive, but the reality was too cruel, without enough Thunder Beast, it would not be able to create enough Thunder Fire Beads, and without enough Thunder Fire Beads, it would not be able to break through the Demon Sect's boulder defenses at all. As for eradicating the Demon Sect in a short period of time, it is impossible to eradicate the Demon Sect in a short period of time, the old nest of the Demon Sect is built in a hard cave, and the entrance to the sect is made of stone gates, which is extremely thick, and each stone gate needs at least ten thunder and fire beads to break through.

It is rumored that the Demon Sect's lair has at least ten stone gates, so it can't break through the defense without a hundred thunder and fire beads. Thinking of this, Xiong Dacheng felt ashamed in his heart, now that he was past the age of the sixtieth year, even if he raised a hundred thunder fire beads before, it was useless, the sect master of the Demon Sect, Impermanence Old Demon, had deep internal strength, and he was not an opponent at all.

Now that his Sleeping Arhat Fist has been cultivated to the seventh level, he is confident that he will defeat the other party against the Impermanent Old Demon. But now he can't break the old devil's lair, and no matter how deep his martial arts internal strength is, it is useless.

"Well, since I can't get enough thunder fire beads, I will slowly gather them, just raise this kid, Jijiabao's bloodline doesn't know where to go, since I have a fate with me, I will pass on his martial arts, and if I can't complete the task of eliminating demons in the future, I will hand over the task to this little guy. The old beggar smiled, and suddenly the depression in his heart was relieved.

Soon the old beggar went to Qingniu Town to live, and in a dilapidated house where no one lived, the grandfather and grandson officially lived.

As spring went to autumn, the old beggar saw that the child was growing up day by day, and the child was already two years old by this time. The little guy is clever and clever, and the old beggar will bring him big fish and meat when he has nothing to do, and the little guy is not at all like the little beggar, that is, the life is not much worse than that of the old man in the town.

"Duoduo, call grandpa!" said the old beggar in front of the broken house, bringing back a big carp, and saw the little one say loudly.

"Grandpa, grandpa!" the little one burst into flames and ran towards each other screaming.

The old beggar opened his hands and picked up Duoduo, and the previous fatigue slowly disappeared. For the past year, he went to Yin Mountain every day to look for the Thunder Beast, but most of the time he returned empty-handed. The beast often lurks in mountain streams, trying to find one with great difficulty. In the past year, he found fifteen thunder beasts, and finally obtained twelve thunder beads, and it will take seven or eight years to gather a hundred thunder beads.

"Grandpa, I don't want to eat fish anymore, I'm tired of eating it. Can I change my taste?" the little guy looked at each other with a childlike face.

The old beggar had a pain in his heart, he had not given the little guy good food in the past year, but the tastes were swirling between chickens, ducks and fish, not to mention a child, even adults couldn't stand such eating habits. Looking at the little guy's expectant eyes, the old beggar's eyes suddenly flashed with a resolute gaze.

I saw him take out the corpse of a thunder beast from the bamboo building on his back, and then said with a smile: "Duoduo, today I will let you taste the meat of the demonic beast once, but you can't eat too much, you can't bear it if you eat too much, you will burst and die." ”

"Grandpa, I want to eat it, I'm not afraid!" The little guy is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he doesn't feel any harm in eating the flesh of the monster.

If he understood that the meat of the monster was a great tonic, he would not be afraid of heaven and earth, in the hearts of children, there is only what to eat and what cannot be eaten, as for whether they will die if they eat it, they have no awareness of this at all.

On the Xuanwu Continent, ordinary people can strengthen their bodies if they have the opportunity to eat a meal of Warcraft meat, and if they take Warcraft meat for a long time, they can prolong their lives. Of course, whether you can afford to eat Warcraft meat is one thing, and whether you can withstand the power of Warcraft's flesh and blood essence is another.

For ordinary people, even the lowest order of the first order of the beast is also very cherished, take the thunder beast as an example, it looks like a fish and not a fish, shaped like a large yellow eel, has four legs under the abdomen, walks like the wind, enters the water like a fish, contains thunder and lightning in the mouth, and eats small fish and animals on both sides of the mountain stream and both banks, its speed is extremely fast, and ordinary people can't catch them at all.

The old beggar saw that the little fellow's mouth was drooling, so he led him into the dilapidated house and began to barbecue the beast's meat, and in a short time the smell of meat overflowed over the flames.

"Don't be greedy, eat a small piece first. With that, the old beggar handed him a small piece of animal meat.

"Giggles, thank you, grandpa!" the little guy picked up the meat and put it in his mouth, regardless of whether his little body could withstand it.

The old beggar didn't eat it, he stared at the other party, and when he saw that the beast meat was eaten by the little guy, he asked, "How do you feel about it?"

Duoduo shook his head, he wanted to say that it was okay, but suddenly a heat wave in his body was brewing rapidly, and soon it seemed to break through his small body.

"Grandpa, I'm hot, I want to drink water. Duoduo said and ran to the water tank to scoop water and drink.

Gollum!

Duoduo seemed to be drinking enough water to extinguish the heat in his body, and kept shouting: "It's hot, it's hot!"

The old beggar knew that Duoduo couldn't bear the flesh and blood essence of the thunder beast, so he got up and came to Duoduo's side, and then he used a true qi to enter the opponent's small body, and as his true qi entered the other party's meridians, the flesh and blood essence of the thunder beast quickly spread to Duoduo's whole body. A quarter of an hour later, Duoduo's whole body was steaming, and then beads of sweat the size of soybeans continued to bubble out of his body.

At this time, Duoduo felt very tired, and unconsciously closed his eyes and fell asleep. When the old beggar saw that Duoduo was asleep, he grinned and said, "Hehe, stinky boy, you are greedy, now you know that you are suffering!"

As he spoke, he picked up Duoduo and put it on the wooden bed on one side, as for the rest of the roasted beast meat, the old beggar did not eat it, and then he divided the beast meat and dried it, he believed that Duoduo would not be greedy from now on, and the jerky of these thunder beasts would be used as a snack for him.

After drying and roasting the meat, the old beggar roasted and ate the fish he had brought back, and he was a little tired at this time, so he fell asleep next to Duoduo.
