Chapter 1: The Young Beggar
In the barren southern region of Xuanling Prefecture, the vitality is sparse, there are herds of wild beasts, and a big city stands here, guarding the human beings in this area for hundreds of years.
This city is the Thunderbolt City.
In this city, there is a building that is very conspicuous, from the diameter of this city gate to enter, through a swampy area, there is a building hundreds of meters high through the sky, exuding a shocking will, the building is magnificent and noble, is the most sacred place in the whole city.
The building that was hundreds of meters high was the owner of this city, the Thundering Sect.
The streets are bustling and prosperous, and there are countless people coming and going. However, there are always many flaws in this prosperous city, and many beggars in the city are entrenched in the city, reaching out for money, and they have become the street rats of this city, and everyone is disgusted.
On one of the most prosperous and crowded streets, a young beggar, but sloppy with messy hair, his clothes exposed one by one torn copper, he sat quietly on a plate, carrying an embroidered bronze iron sword behind his back, the sword had been eroded by time, and there was a layer of rust on it, which looked tattered.
The young beggar sat there calmly, revealing a look of vicissitudes that did not match his age, but in the depths of his calm eyes was an endless abyss, like a black hole, capable of eroding people.
The most unique thing about this young beggar is that there is no broken bowl in front of him, and it stands to reason that the beggar should have his own set of broken bowls and go around begging for money and food.
But he didn't, just sat there with a haggard face, his eyes dull.
It seems that he is not interested in money, which gives people a different feeling. But because of a special smell on his body, the people around him had to keep a distance from him.
Suddenly, a big man with a mutilated arm walked over and looked at the young beggar, with a little more awe in his eyes, which was a little incredible. Dahan walked up to the young beggar and asked respectfully, "Twenty?"
The young beggar looked up at him calmly, and said lightly: "Which one?" The voice was a little hoarse, but it was a young man's appearance, very calm, and it was confusing when he spoke.
The big man replied, "Black bear!"
Upon hearing this, the young beggar shook his head slightly, waved his hand and let him go. But the big man was unwilling, was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Forty, please, I really haven't had any money for a long time." The big man's eyes were full of pleading, since he broke an arm, life has become even more unable to take care of himself, many times he needs to hunt brute beasts outside the city, he can't do it, only a little savings to live until now.
The young beggar thought for a moment, then nodded, and stretched out a pair of calloused hands.
Dahan was really helpless, his eyes were full of reluctance, and when he heard about the young beggar's credit, he directly took out forty yuan coins and gave them to the young man. Yuan coin is the common currency in the world, more valuable than the yuan coin is the yuan stone, the yuan stone contains more pure vitality, can assist in cultivation, so the price of the yuan stone will be more expensive, that is already the product of the cultivator.
The young beggar took the forty yuan coins, this scene made many dark eyes nearby exude greed, these people were greedy for the yuan coins in the hands of the young beggar, a full forty yuan, enough for a normal person to eat for half a month.
After he put away the yuan coin, he finally stood up slowly and said to the big man, "Time understands?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Dahan said excitedly, he finally didn't have to starve, originally he was selling meat for a living, but he broke a hand so that he could no longer catch brute beasts, used to sell meat, and now someone helped him catch it, he was very happy. And the price of a black bear was sold at a small profit, so he hurriedly left.
The young beggar stretched his waist and walked slowly towards the city gate, a wooden crutch supporting his steps, which echoed at the end of the street and finally disappeared into the street.
However, more than a dozen figures also quietly left the street and secretly followed in the direction of the young man.
Someone saw more than a dozen greedy beggars following and sighed: "It is estimated that there will be more than a dozen more corpses outside the city." "In this city, the Thundering Sect has already established a rule that it is not allowed to rob and kill people in the city, and it is this rule that allows everyone to live here with peace of mind, and at the same time, the Thundering Sect also protects their safety, and there are law enforcement disciples who take turns to patrol, and their safety is greatly guaranteed.
Suddenly, when he heard someone say this, someone asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that?" The man was puzzled, he was just an ordinary stinky beggar, how could more than ten people die.
The man before saw him and smiled, "Brother, you just came, right?"
The puzzled man nodded slightly, and replied honestly, "Yes, is there any problem?"
"Because you're like those beggars!"
Saying this, the man suddenly frowned a little, and his expression was a little unsightly. Noticing his expression, the man at the beginning immediately apologized and said, "You misunderstood, I mean you and those beggars are just coming to this city, and it's normal not to know."
The beggar who had just carried the bronze sword on his back was a difficult existence to mess with, although on the surface he did not have any cultivation, but those of us who have lived here all year round know that he is a very terrifying person with the strength of a cultivator.
His name is Sword Idiot, and I don't know why it's called that. A long time ago, the sword idiot first came here, don't look at him in tatters, he is not one of those beggars who stretch out his hand to ask for money every day, he can be said to be a businessman, he makes deals with our people here, we give money, and he is responsible for hunting brute beasts.
is also like this, he makes money quickly, and he is also noticed by people with a heart. When he went out to hunt prey, the leader of the strongest beggar gang in the city led people out of the city to kill him, and it was that battle that completely launched his name.
Do you know? At that time, the beggar gang dispatched a full hundred people, and although there were a few warriors inside, all of them died outside the city, lying in the field!"
Not only that, but he will often help us ordinary people to make things, those old and weak women, people who have no financial resources, he is very eager to help. ”
There was a hint of awe in his eyes, and then he added, "That's why I said that the dozen or so people who followed him were just a corpse. The listener couldn't help but be shocked, the slaughter of a hundred people, this is simply a murderous maniac.
"And the sword idiot has an unwritten rule, that is, to collect money to do things, and only return here to pick up the goods a day later, no matter what it is, he is still the same. ”
......
Out of the city gate, the young beggar, that is, the sword idiot, walked a distance, stopped, and said flatly: "It's time to come out." ”
A gust of cold wind blew behind him, and not far behind the sword idiot walked out ten young people, all of them looked like beggars, dirty and messy, but their eyes were shining with golden light, looking at the sword idiot was as hungry and thirsty as seeing a peerless beauty, and the greed in his eyes became more and more prosperous.
Led by them, some mature young men took a step, and then the beggars behind him surrounded the sword idiot and blocked his path. The young man looked at the sword idiot calmly, and slowly spoke: "Boy, give you a chance to hand over forty yuan coins, I can consider letting you join our team and earn yuan coins together?" This young man was very arrogant, even if he himself was a beggar, he revealed a lofty appearance.
The sword idiot shook his head and said flatly, "Let's go." He was used to these people who went out of the city to intercept and kill him, and when he saw these young children, he reminded them.
The young man was stunned, and so were the little beggars.
One person sneered: "Stinky boy, dare to speak up to our boss!" The young man held his head with his hand, and a sinister smile came out: "Hehe, boy, do you know who you are talking to?"
But as if he hadn't heard what he said, the sword idiot walked in his direction step by step, his eyes still flat.
"Boy, it seems that you are really tired of being alive!" Ignoring his words, the sword idiot actually walked towards him, couldn't help but be annoyed, stepped forward, and swung towards the sword idiot with the wooden stick in his hand.
However, in the face of the wooden stick that was swinged, the sword idiot seemed to be invisible, and continued to walk, shortening the distance step by step, seeing that the wooden stick was about to smash over, the sword idiot suddenly swung the wooden stick in his hand towards the wooden stick that was knocked.
A stick lightly cut off the stick.
The speed was extremely fast, and suddenly the man took two steps back in panic.
Their boss's eyes narrowed, and he stepped out and ran towards him quickly, the iron rod in his hand swinging towards his head.
Stretch your hand back and flick the stick!
This time, the sword idiot's movements were even faster, and a stick struck directly on the young man's face, knocking him out directly. His face was dented by the wooden stick, and all his left teeth were knocked out, and the young man was speechless in pain, and his mouth was full of blood, and he fainted instantly.
The rest of the beggars took a step back, fearing the sword idiot, their boss was knocked unconscious all of a sudden, how could they not panic.
"Let me tell you, the beggar gang is an existence you can't afford to provoke!" one person made a statement to intimidate him, and even directly moved out of the forces behind him to deter the young man.
However, the sword idiot ignored them, and simply strolled towards a desolate place in the distance. Several beggars in front of him have made way for him to move forward, and now their most powerful boss has lost half of his teeth and fainted, how can they have the ability to leave this young man, let the sword idiot pass by, they don't dare to do it.
A beggar shouted, "Don't go back to Thunder City, or you will definitely be chased and killed by the beggars!"
The sword idiot soon came to the area of the black bear, walked slowly, and after a while came to a dark cave, where there was a burst of snoring, so he walked in.
