Chapter Ninety-Six: The Beggar Pees
The bottom of the mountain is still desolate, the springs in the boulders are still dry, and there are still traces of the spring water flowing in the pools under the rocks.
Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian stopped at the edge of the pool, looked down the mountain, and saw that the miasma at the foot of Longshan Mountain was pervasive, although it was broad daylight, there was still a gloomy atmosphere that was difficult to dispel by the sunlight and shrouded the entire foot of the mountain.
"Brother Zhiyuan, are you sure that the drought will be at the foot of this mountain?" Moon Shadow Fuxian looked at Wu Zhiyuan and asked.
Wu Zhiyuan didn't answer, just nodded slightly. He looked up at the mountain lion, took a long breath, pulled up the moon shadow and ran down the mountain.
Wu Zhiyuan did not look around, but purposefully ran straight in the direction of due north, where the cave had repeatedly appeared in his dreams, but in reality he had never entered.
Soon, the entrance of the cave appeared in the field of vision of the two, and just as the two were about to rush to the entrance of the cave, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly unloaded his vitality, grabbed the Moon Shadow Fuxian, and dodged behind a big bluestone.
The Moon Shadow Fuxian didn't know why, and was about to ask a question, when Wu Zhiyuan made a gesture and motioned for the Moon Shadow Fuxian to look in the direction of the cave entrance.
Moon Shadow Fuxian followed Wu Zhiyuan's hand and looked at the entrance of the cave, only to see a faint figure shaking in the dark cave, because the light inside was dim, so he couldn't see the situation inside, and could only see a faint figure moving.
The two of them held their breath, their eyes wide open to see what was inside. Sure enough, the figure in the cave became clearer and clearer, as if they were walking from the inside of the cave to the outside of the cave.
Gradually, Wu Zhiyuan saw that there was only one figure in the cave, and it was staggering, like a drunk, his steps were messy, as if he would stand unsteadily and fall down with the next kick.
When the man walked to the bright place at the entrance of the cave, Wu Zhiyuan saw his general dress clearly, only to see that the man was dressed in coarse rags, with many patches on it, at this time, he may have been unable to open his eyes because he had just seen the sunlight outside the cave, and he was using one hand as a cover to cover his eyes, so Wu Zhiyuan could not see his appearance. But the man's white hair was as white as silver, but it was extremely piercing, and from this gray hair alone, it should be more than sixty years old.
While he was thinking about it, the man looked up at the sky with his hand as a cover, and then staggered away. Wu Zhiyuan saw a huge gourd hanging from his waist behind his back, and looking at his drunken appearance, he knew that the gourd must be filled with wine.
Sure enough, the man turned his back to Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian, fumbled to untie the gourd hanging behind his waist, and raised his neck to take a sip. Although the distance was several feet, Wu Zhiyuan could still clearly hear the "grunt" sound of his wine entering his throat.
"Who is this person? Why is it in this uninhabited and gloomy place? Is it just a down-and-out beggar? Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian glanced at each other, and the same question appeared in their hearts.
The two continued to watch, only to see that the beggar drank two sips of wine, sandwiched the wine gourd in his armpit, and reached out to fiddle with something at the waist of his trousers.
The beggar unbuckled his trouser belt and peed on the hole, and Moon Shadow Fuxian hurriedly lowered his head and stopped looking.
This soak of urine has been spilled for most of the day, Wu Zhiyuan was surprised how a person could pee for such a long time, so it can be expected that this soak of urine must have been held by him for a long time.
When the beggar had finished peeing, he lay down on a large rock beside the entrance of the cave, crossed his legs, and in an instant let out a burst of snoring.
"Being able to fall asleep as soon as you lie down is really carefree." Wu Zhiyuan thought to himself, "If he knew that the Dao Drought Fish might appear around here at any time, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so comfortable." ”
Thinking about it, Wu Zhiyuan got up from behind the big bluestone and walked towards the beggar, he wanted to drive the beggar away, otherwise he would only die in vain.
"Big ......" Wu Zhiyuan walked up to the beggar, squatted down and pushed the beggar, he wanted to call him "uncle", but after seeing the beggar's face, he was stunned.
Although the beggar was full of silver frost, his skin was very pink, like a child, and he really had a childish face.
Wu Zhiyuan had also heard that someone was born with white hair, and after a period of consternation, he no longer felt strange, and he changed his words: "Little brother, wake up quickly." ”
The beggar "hummed" a few times, smacked his mouth and opened his sleepy eyes, looked at Wu Zhiyuan disapprerovantly and said, "Hmm...... Brother? Oh, it's been a long time since anyone called me that. ”
His voice was a little old, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help frowning when he heard it, a little at a loss, he looked back at the Moon Shadow Fuxian, and the Moon Shadow Fuxian was also looking up and down at the strange beggar in front of him.
"Then ...... you" Wu Zhiyuan was speechless for a while, not knowing how old the other party was and how he should call the other party.
The beggar stood up, yawned and stretched, and then looked Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian up and down, although he was full of silver hair and old voice, but his eyes were shining, he seemed to see through Wu Zhiyuan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You still call me little brother." ”
"Little brother, this place is dangerous, you better leave as soon as possible." Wu Zhiyuan persuaded him a little apologetically.
The beggar was neither surprised nor curious when he heard this, he unhurriedly hung the gourd in his hand to his waist, and lazily dragged a long sentence back: "Okay, I'll go." ”
As soon as the words fell, the beggar did not go outside the cave, but turned around and walked towards the cave, Wu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and was about to step forward to stop it, but the beggar's footsteps were very fast, and he disappeared into the dark cave in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't even hear the footsteps.
Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian looked at each other, and they both felt that this beggar's mind was a little abnormal.
"Let's go, let's go in too." Wu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and decided.
"That beggar is of unknown origin, I don't think he is simple, we don't need to risk it for him." Moon Shadow Fuxian questioned.
"I know that it's not just for him, but when I go into the cave, I have something to show you." Wu Zhiyuan's eyes widened and he looked carefully into the cave, but he could still only see pitch black.
Moon Shadow Fuxian understood Wu Zhiyuan's personality, and knew that he was a person with ideas, so he no longer persuaded him. The two found a few branches to make torches to make them easier to see inside the cave.
"Why do you say that the beggar is not simple?" Wu Zhiyuan looked at the light emitted by the torch, which was bright enough to see things within a zhang in front of him.
"I saw that his eyebrows were full of blood, and although his voice was old, he had a strong confidence, these are all characteristics of a person with profound vitality cultivation, and they are definitely not something that ordinary people can disguise." Moon Shadow Fu Immortal replied convincingly.
"So, one thing for sure." Wu Zhiyuan took advantage of the light of the torch to walk side by side with the Moon Shadow Fuxian, "He is not changed by a drought. ”
Moon Shadow Fu Immortal sighed worriedly: "It's hard to say this, the evil power of the drought is unimaginable, he can transform into a human form, and he naturally has magical powers that can be disguised at will. ”
Although the two talked as they walked, they were both very vigilant. After walking more than 20 meters into the cave, Wu Zhiyuan suddenly stopped, and at the same time stretched out his hand to hold the Moon Shadow Fuxian.
Under the jumping firelight, Wu Zhiyuan's eyes stared straight at the stone wall in the cave.
