Chapter 5: The Old Beggar
Ling Fan slowly opened his eyes, it was so dazzling, this sleep was really comfortable, he hadn't been so relaxed for a long time. His body didn't seem to feel the sharp pain anymore, Ling Fan was about to wash up, and suddenly saw his face reflected in the water, Ling Fan was suddenly surprised.
Ling Fan's appearance has changed, he is no longer the same youthful face as before, his skin has become a lot rougher, and more importantly, his face seems to have been corroded by something, pitted, and he looks more than ten years old all of a sudden. Ling Fan looked at his hands again and checked his body. The whole body has become as if it has been corroded by something, such a change makes Ling Fan a little difficult to accept, although Ling Fan did not look very handsome before, but he is white and pure, but now it is good, Ling Fan has become an ugly look.
Such a change made Ling Fan unacceptable, Ling Fan was still a child after all, thinking of everything in his past, he finally couldn't help screaming and crying sadly.
Squeak, the door was pushed open, and the old woman was also surprised when she came in and saw Ling Fan, "You...... You're awake. ”
Ling Fan turned his head and wiped his tears to say something, but his mouth opened and he still didn't say anything.
"Kids. The old woman walked to Ling Fan's side, "To live is to experience all kinds of ups and downs, but the most important thing is the heart, face everything bravely, and always have confidence in life." ”
"Hungry, you've been asleep for three days, eat something. The old woman handed a bowl of porridge to Ling Fan.
For three days, he actually slept for three days, Ling Fan was shocked, obviously feeling that he had just slept for a while, but he didn't expect that three days had passed. Ling Fan took the porridge and secretly said in his heart that his life was really bitter, but no matter what, he could only accept it now. "Thank you, mother-in-law, I'm fine".
The old woman shook her head and went out.
After eating something, Ling Fan felt better, but he still couldn't accept himself like this. Sitting in the house all morning. Although the body is not painful, the heart hurts as if it is dripping blood.
Squeak, Ling Fan pushed open the door and walked into the yard, the old woman was busy in the yard, and when she saw Ling Fan come out, she frowned, Ling Fan wrapped herself tightly, even her face was wrapped, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and a straw hat was also worn on her head. The old woman didn't say anything, after all, it takes time for a child to accept such a cruel truth at once.
Whew, Ling Fan let out a sigh of relief, and walked towards the woods outside the village step by step, this is almost a place he comes to every day, in addition to hunting, cultivating and controlling the aura outside the body, this is already a small space for Ling Fan, he likes to think here, like to breathe the air here.
Entering the woods, Ling Fan lifted it casually, and a stone floated up and flew quickly towards the tree in front of him, pop, the stone actually sank into the tree. Ling Fan watched as the stone sank into the trees, dumbfounded, and slowly looked at his body. Just now, I was in a bad mood and casually manipulated the stones to throw them out to vent my inner anguish, but I didn't expect this to be the result.
After being taken aback, Ling Fan began to calm down, closing his eyes and feeling the aura around him. Ling Fan has always been very confident in his perception, after all, this is also the only capital he can brag about, Ling Fan clearly feels that he has a stronger perception of changing his appearance, and when he closes his eyes, he seems to see small balls of light surrounding him, the only difference is that they were all crazy towards Ling Fan's body before, but now they are quietly going their own way, as if they did not find Ling Fan's existence.
Ling Fan smiled secretly, could it be that his appearance has changed, these guys can't recognize him anymore. But it doesn't matter, at least it won't be painful. Just as Ling Fan was thinking about this, whoosh, a hare quickly ran past Ling Fan. Ling Fan opened his eyes and looked at the running hare, and as soon as he raised his hand, a stone struck at the hare, snapping, although it didn't hit the hare's head, it still hit the hare's leg. It seems that Ling Fan is more comfortable with manipulating objects, and the strength and accuracy of manipulating object attacks have also improved a lot.
Before, Ling Fan was still thinking about how he could do what he could do now, but now Ling Fan has done it, but it seems that Ling Fan paid a certain price in exchange. Looking at the struggling hare on the ground, Ling Fan remembered the culprit who made him look like this, then use you to try again.
Ling Fan thought in his heart and slowly raised his hand, and the hare's body was slowly wrapped in the aperture and floated. This time, it was a live hare, and the hare was constantly struggling, and it was more difficult to control it. However, Ling Fan's control this time was extremely easy, and no matter how the hare struggled, the aura structure that Ling Fan had built was not broken.
With these changes, Ling Fan's heart slowly regained some balance. Let him have a good hunt today, thinking of this, Ling Fan began to look for prey in the woods.
In less than an hour, it was already fruitful. Looking at the results of his hard work, Ling Fan thought in his heart that he should go to the city to change some money, he had not caused trouble to the old woman for so long, and changing some money would at least make life better.
Ling Fan picked up the prey and walked quickly in the direction of the town. The body was painless, and it was easy to walk, and soon I saw the town. Ling Fan strode into the city, this was the second time he had come to this city, and he had only turned around and left after the last time he came. Although Ling Fan didn't like the noise here, in order to exchange these prey for some money, Ling Fan found a more lively place.
There were a lot of people coming and going, and the prey brought by Ling Fan seemed to be very popular, and Ling Fan's prey had already been sold out before it got dark. Ling Fan deliberately left a relatively fat hare, originally planning to eat a big meal at night. Carrying the hare, he happily walked out of the city with the money in his arms.
When Ling Fan was about to walk to the city gate, Ling Fan saw an old beggar sitting on the side of the road, with white hair, his clothes were in tatters, and he was leaning against the wall dirty. In front of him was a broken bowl, but there was not a penny in it. Unlike the other beggars, the old beggar didn't ask for money from people who came and went, but leaned lazily and didn't care at all.
Ling Fan felt very strange, didn't he want to be hungry like this. He walked over to the old beggar, took out a few pennies from his arms, and squatted down to put them in the broken bowl.
Just as Ling Fan got up to leave, "Young man, wait a minute." The lazy old beggar opened his mouth.
"What's the matter, is there something wrong with the old man?" Ling Fan replied politely.
"Don't you have a hare in your hand, can you roast it for me, I'm hungry now. The old beggar said naturally.
Isn't this an inch, Ling Fan thought to himself, but it was difficult to speak, he hesitated, and then looked at the old beggar, full of white hair and old face. No matter how bad Ling Fan is, he must be better than him. "Okay, then I'll bake it for you, you wait here. Ling Fan quickly ran towards the outside of the town.
I picked up some dead branches on the ground around me, lit a fire, and after disposing of the hare, it roasted it. After a while, Ling Fan ran back with the roasted hare. Looking at the fragrant hare, Ling Fan swallowed his saliva and handed the hare to the old beggar.
The old beggar took the hare and ate it in a big gulp, ignoring Ling Fan at all. Ling Fan was also very helpless, he had to watch the old beggar's gluttonous eating from the side. After a short time, the old beggar finished eating, stretched his waist and stood up in satisfaction, "Thank you, young man. ”
"You're welcome, old man", Ling Fan turned around and was about to leave, thinking that the old beggar would leave him some, but he had waited for so long, who knew that the old beggar had eaten all by himself, and Ling Fan had waited for so long in vain.
Suddenly, a hand was placed on Ling Fan's shoulder, and Ling Fan felt a tingling pain in his body, this was the feeling of aura, and Ling Fan only had the pain when he absorbed the aura. Ling Fan instinctively wanted to break free from the hand that grabbed his shoulder, but found that he couldn't move, he could only let the streams of aura rush into his body, unlike before, this strand of aura was extremely pure, although the stinging sensation in his body was not as strong as before.
In fact, Ling Fan didn't know, the old beggar was even more surprised at this moment, originally the old beggar ate Ling Fan's hare, and he saw that Ling Fan's body was a little strange, so he wanted to use his aura to probe Ling Fan's body and see if he could help this young man solve it. But this time, he found that the old beggar's aura was frantically sucked into Ling Fan's body. This situation caught the old beggar off guard, and he wanted to withdraw his aura, but found that his old hand seemed to be sucked in. After a few tries, it took a lot of effort to remove my hand.
After the old beggar took his hand away, Ling Fan stumbled and almost fell to the ground, whew, what's the matter? Ling Fan turned his head to look at the old beggar, and the old beggar's eyes were also staring at Ling Fan's eyes.
This old beggar is not an ordinary person, as for what stage of cultivator, Ling Fan is not clear, Ling Fan thought to himself, since he is a cultivator, why would he be a beggar on the side of the road.
The old beggar also seemed to be particularly interested in Ling Fan, looking Ling Fan up and down. "Young man, it's getting late, you should go back, and bring me something delicious next time you come." The old beggar said to Ling Fan with a smile.
Ling Fan didn't say anything and walked towards the outside of the city. By the time Ling Fan returned to the hut, it was already dark, and the old woman had already prepared something to eat. Ling Fan simply ate some food and then went back to his room. Thinking of the old beggar, Ling Fan was full of doubts. His body did have an influx of aura today, but why was the pain not as strong as before, was it because of the changes in his body?
Ling Fan closed his eyes and thought, but he felt a warm feeling in his lower abdomen. Ling Fan's hand was placed on his lower abdomen, and suddenly Ling Fan seemed to see the situation in his body, which had never been the case before.
Ling Fan looked at it little by little, his body was pitch black, and there seemed to be no change, and in the darkness, there was a point of light flashing one after another. Ling Fan slowly approached, this ...... It's aura, and he actually has aura in his body. In the past, no matter how Ling Fan absorbed the aura, he couldn't feel a trace of aura in his body, but now Ling Fan was very sure that it was aura.
