"Hahahaha... You said you want to learn martial arts?, then why do you learn martial arts, and why do you learn martial arts?" After hearing the little beggar's words, the old man immediately laughed out loud, and then his eyes shot a fine light, leaned over to the little beggar, looked directly at the little beggar and asked.

"For the sake of ...... In order to...... In order not to starve!" Seeing the old man's sudden appearance, the little beggar suddenly felt a little frightened, and he didn't understand what the old man meant by the words asked, but simply said what he really thought in his heart at the moment.

"Hmm...... You can be honest, but the way to practice martial arts is much more bitter than just starving...... Are you still willing to learn?" the old man continued.

"Then if you finish your studies, you won't starve again, will you?" asked the little beggar after a pause, a little puzzled.

"Hmm... , so to speak," the old man suddenly got up, turned his back to the little beggar, looked into the distance and said slowly.

"Then I'm willing to learn," the little beggar nodded in the affirmative after receiving the answer.

"Okay, then let me ask you, you may endure unjustified sorrow?"

"I can"

"You may endure the pain of forging your body?"

"I can"

"You may endure the pain of losing your family?"

"I can"

"Okay, then you must remember what you said today forever, I will teach you a set of exercises today, and give you another name, Zhang Bairen, are you willing?" The old man looked down at the little beggar with a majestic face at this time.

"Zhang Bairen, everything is subject to the master's arrangement" At this time, after the little beggar repeated his name, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said, although he didn't understand what the old man said, he just silently remembered it in his heart.

"You don't need to be like this, I'm not your master, and you are not allowed to say to outsiders that I am your master in the future, do you hear?" said the old man without anger.

"Why?" Zhang Bai asked puzzled.

"You don't need to ask about this, everything is arranged by providence. In addition, I let you have the surname Zhang, because the place where you are located is the land of Western Xia, and the surname of the Western Xia Emperor is Zhang at this time, so you will have the surname with it, and the name Bairen needs you to experience it yourself in the future" The old man looked into the distance and said leisurely.

In the next three months, Zhang Bairen rose at dusk, looked at the moon and rested, shuttled through the mountain streams and woodlands every day, and exercised according to the various requirements of the old man, such as lifting rocks every day, rock climbing, diving, logging, etc. Said to be exercise, in fact, it is the daily life of the old man, cutting wood to make a fire, diving and fishing, the key is that you can't sleep at night, but ask to sit on the boulder outside the cave to meditate and rest, although Zhang Bairen feels miserable, but life is still worry-free, presumably at least don't have to starve, but also happy, at the same time his physique is gradually changing, as if the body has gradually become more symmetrical. It doesn't look like a scrawny savage.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and now Zhang Bairen is still dressed as a beggar, but there is a little more vitality in his eyes, and his body is also bigger.

"Momokin, why hasn't dinner been cooked yet?" shouted the old man in the cave impatiently.

"Master, wait a minute, it'll be fine soon!" Zhang Bairen skillfully roasted two pheasants and replied loudly, although the old man did not let Zhang Bairen call him master, but he still insisted on doing so, and the old man did not say more after a long time.

After a while, Zhang Bairen took two roasted pheasants, ran to the cave like a little adult, and respectfully gave one to the old man.

"Well, yes, the craft has grown a bit," the old man took the roast pheasant and sniffed it, nodded and said. And habitually open the wine gourd and take a sip, it is strange to say, this old man has never gone down the mountain in these three months, but the wine in the gourd seems to never be finished, once Zhang Bairen also curiously secretly drank a sip, spicy his tears flowed, it was really wine, but he didn't dare to ask more, maybe it was when Zhang Bairen went out hunting, the old man secretly went down the mountain to buy wine.

After eating the food, Zhang Bairen habitually came to the boulder outside the cave to prepare for meditation, and the old man who had always stayed in the cave to sleep also came out today for some reason.

"Master!" Zhang Bairen called.

"Maybe... It's time for me to go!" the old man didn't answer Zhang Bairen, but quietly looked at the starry sky in the distance and sighed.

"Master, where are you going?"

Suddenly Zhang Bairen felt a bad premonition hit, although only three months of getting along, but Zhang Bairen had no relatives since he was a child, after a short period of getting along, his heart was unconscious, and the old man was regarded as the existence of both a father and a teacher, he suddenly felt very scared, he was afraid that the master would leave him, and for a while he felt a little lost and panicked in his heart.

"After a thousand days together, there will be a farewell. I'm going to go my own way, and you're going to go your own way, and there's a providence for you, and you don't have to be sad."

The old man looked at Zhang Bairen sitting cross-legged on the stone, and said in a very flat tone, when the old man saw Zhang Bairen, he felt that this son was strange, and after a later visit, he found that although he had no spiritual power in his body, but by chance, he found that there seemed to be some kind of violent spirit beast in his body, and it was unimaginably powerful.

In today's world, ordinary mortals, but all the physique that can be cultivated, there is more or less spiritual power of a certain attribute in the body, and some even have traces of spirit beasts, cultivators generally call them origin spiritual power or origin spirit beasts.

When the old man investigated the spiritual power in Zhang Bairen's body, there was a moment when he felt boundless fear, as if an ancient desolate beast appeared in front of him, which immediately shocked people's hearts. This kind of physique has not never appeared in the world, but every time it appears in the world, it is not to stir up the world and cause chaos in the world! In the end, it is all the great powers in the world to pay a heavy price to work together to eradicate it, which can not help but make the old man feel a little worried.

The old man had the idea of getting rid of future troubles many times, but every time he saw Zhang Bairen's innocent face and clear eyes, he would feel soft in his heart, and then he dispelled this thought.

"After I leave, you must remember what I said to you, Zhang Bairen!" The old man put away his thoughts, looked at Zhang Bairen in a very majestic voice and said.

"Remember" Zhang Bairen looked at the old man, his eyes unconsciously became a little moist and said.

"Well, in the future, you have to practice hard and calm down. But if you bring disaster to the world one day, I will not spare you!" After the old man finished speaking, a trace of love flashed in his eyes, and he stroked Zhang Bairen's forehead lightly, and at the same time, a white light instantly escaped from his fingertips into Zhang Bairen's eyebrows, and it flashed, Zhang Bairen was naturally unaware.

In the blink of an eye, the old man disappeared into the night mountains.

"Master..." Zhang Bairen looked at the old man's disappearing back and choked up.

Zhang Bairen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued to meditate, this was the first time he shed tears since he could remember.

At noon the next day, Zhang Bairen habitually prepared food and sent it to the cave, and suddenly found that the old man was no longer there, and suddenly a sense of loss instantly hit his heart, he ate the food in his hand blankly, thinking about the bits and pieces of these days, and his heart was infinitely melancholy. He stared blankly at the food in his hand, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and he suddenly realized that the master had already taught him the skills of survival these days, and he would no longer starve, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, that is, to get out of the cave and travel the world, so as to go to find the master.

Zhang Bairen suddenly felt a surge of blood, swept away his depressed mood, he finished eating the food in a big gulp, and packed the rest in his arms, and immediately walked towards the outside of the cave.

After three months of teaching by the old man, Zhang Bairen's whole heart has also sublimated a lot at this time, walking alone on the streets of Jinhu Town, he is not as submissive as before, walking with his head bowed as before, inexplicable self-confidence filled his heart, he walked on the street with his head up, looking east and west, it seems that this familiar street, as if he has never been here before.

As he walked, he suddenly found that there was a large group of people gathered in front of him, as if something big had happened, he immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the crowd, because of his petite size, he squeezed to the front of the crowd in a few moments, only to see everyone around a sign, is discussing.

Zhang Bairen looked up and saw a lot of words densely written on the billboard, and then he was embarrassed to find that he was illiterate, and thought that he must find an opportunity to learn words well in the future, but now he can only listen to what others say.

From the discussion, he heard a general idea, that in a village north of Jinhu Town, an unknown beast had recently appeared, and many people had been injured.

And the mayor of Jinhu Town, that is, the head of the Murong family, launched a notice that anyone who could kill or capture this beast would receive a reward of five hundred taels of silver from the Murong family.

Many people immediately grinded their fists after learning about it, eager to immediately kill the beast to receive the prize, you know, this seems not to be much five hundred taels of silver, is an astronomical amount in the eyes of many ordinary people, most people, even in their lifetime can not earn so much money, is the so-called death for money, the young strong man in the town has spontaneously organized a team, everyone knows that since the beast has injured so many people, the individual must be an egg to hit the stone, in vain to die, only the organization of a large number of manpower, it is possible to encircle and eliminate it, anyway, after the encirclement and suppression, the silver is divided equally, it is also a lot of income for everyone。

"There are still those who have not registered!" A young strong man was holding a notebook on the side to register the number of applicants.

"Eh, Zhangzi, why don't you sign up?" said a young man in the crowd who had just signed up to say to another man beside him.

"I'm not going, this money isn't something I can earn... , I'm just afraid that I won't be able to earn my life!" the man named Zhangzi shook his head and replied.

"Look, you look like a bear, so many people are still afraid that an unnamed beast will not succeed? Even if we meet a tiger, so many of us can slaughter it!" said the other man, sneering.
