Chapter 62: The Beggar
"It's just an influence, doesn't the big brother want to see what kind of magic Xing'er has? So, Xing'er thinks it's better to let the big brother try it himself!"
Apricot grinned, her face full of innocence.
"This ...... You're confused?"
Chen You was still a little surprised.
He didn't feel anything at all just now, and he was actually controlled!
"It's a mental illusion! The one just now is called 'mental art', which can temporarily affect others, making him do what he wants to do in his heart, or whether he can do it or not! But if he wants to make the other party do what he doesn't want to do, it depends on how strong his willpower resistance is!"
Apricot explained.
"What about illusions?" Chen You was overjoyed and continued to ask.
"The strength of illusion depends on the level of soul power?"
Xing'er picked up a dried fruit on the table and put it in her mouth, saying as she ate.
"Hmm. Then you try again on Big Brother. Let me see what illusion looks like. Chen You said directly.
But this time, Xing'er shook her head, "In the sea of big brother's souls, there are things that Xing'er feels very kind and a little afraid of...... It's okay to cast mental arts, but illusions definitely can't. ”
"That's ......"
Chen You nodded slightly.
He could roughly guess that what Xing'er was talking about should be the spirit of Journey to the West, or the source of the three powers.
After a moment's thought, he turned his head to look out the window.
I saw that the sky had changed again for a while, and the sky that was originally bright and starry had become gloomy and dark.
However, this kind of weather is more suitable for him to sneak out of Wushan City at night.
Although with his current strength, there are few people in Wushan City who can threaten him, but breaking through the martial artist realm is not a trivial matter, and he must find a clean and safe place.
As for the function of capturing the house, he had already asked the county commander Mi Mancheng for instructions, and he didn't have to report it before he officially took up the position of the Beicheng trap.
And after becoming a catcher, there is a great deal of autonomy, and no one will restrict his whereabouts except for major events.
It's the same with the martial arts academy, the condition he negotiated with the old dean is that he is only a preparatory student, and he can choose whether to go to the class or not.
"Xing'er, wait for us to go out of the city together. The eldest brother wants to find a place to cultivate and break through the realm. ”
Thinking of this, Chen You said to Xing'er.
"Good. Xing'er directly put down the dried fruit in her hand and stood up.
"By the way, will Apricot be able to change the technique?"
Chen You asked again.
"Does it count as an apricot tree?"
Apricot blinked.
"This, I'm afraid it doesn't count......"
Tatsuyo shook his head, then went to the closet to rummage through it.
He didn't have many clothes or anything like that, and finally turned out a robe and a cotton hat and handed it to Xing'er.
After wrapping her outer robe, Apricot coiled her hair and put on a cotton hat.
In this way, she became a beautiful young man. It's still a little different, but it's not going to be so noticeable anymore.
Chen You also changed into civilian clothes, and then took out a thin piece of skin and put it on his face.
This was when he was stationed in Nanshan District, and he asked for it from other fishers.
It is often necessary to make secret visits to investigate cases, and it is very convenient to wear this thin leather mask.
Leaving the courtyard, the two of them turned around in Wushan City again, and after making sure that no one was following them, they headed southwest.
The whole Wushan City is the most remote place in the south of Xicheng, with the least number of shops, and it will be easier to go out of the city over the wall.
And this road is passed by the back door of Old Man Ding's scrap shop.
When passing by, Chen You glanced at the store, but found that at this time, the backyard was still lit, and Old Man Ding seemed to be still busy.
"Woo ......"
You You poked his head out of the hidden back door, called a few times in the direction of Chen You, and then ran over with Huan'er.
"This dead dog is spiritual!"
Chen You scolded and pulled Xing'er through the alley quickly.
"Woo Woo ......"
He sped up under his feet, but You You also chased after him, following all the way.
"Apricot, you wait here. I'm going to get the dog back. ”
Chen You had no choice but to turn his head and explain to Xing'er, then turned around and picked up You You, who pounced on him, and ran towards the scrap shop.
"I'll go with you. ”
Xing'er quickly followed, walking side by side with Chenyou while looking at the little flower dog in his hand.
At this moment, You You tilted his head, staring at Chen You's face left and right, with a curious look of "smelling right, why has your appearance changed?"
"Youyou...... Youyou", when he came to the back door, the old man Ding inside was also looking for the dog to come out.
When Xing'er heard the name of this little flower dog, she couldn't help but show a trace of weirdness and amusement on her little face.
At first glance, seeing the two people outside the door, Old Man Ding was slightly stunned.
"It's me. Why haven't you rested at this time?" Chen You said.
"Stinky boy, why did you become like this?" Old man Ding immediately recognized Chen You's voice.
"Handle the case!" Chen You said casually and handed You You back.
Old man Ding stretched out his hand to take it, and said angrily to Chenyou: "It looks like it's going to rain and snow, can my old man clean up his things?"
Chen You shook his head and sighed: "You're just a dead man!" Invite one more guy, why bother so hard? Besides, I have opened a few industries now, and when I am short of manpower, can I ask you to come over and help?"
He really wanted Old Man Ding to come over to help, although this old man was stingy, as long as he put it in the right place, it was still very useful.
"My old man has hands and feet, why bother to look up to people and snort!" Old man Ding glared at him fiercely, and turned around to close the door.
Although Old Man Ding is stingy, he has a lot of backbone, and Chen You is now famous all over Wushan City, and he has never thought of stammering, and even the tone of his speech has not changed at all.
"Slow down, slow down......"
At this moment, in the alley not far away, an unkempt beggar ran out, carrying a broken bag in his hand, trotting all the way over.
"Sell something, sell something, don't close the door yet!"
The beggar shook the bag in his hand and shouted with excitement on his face.
"Hehe, God rewards hard work, I don't deceive!"
Old man Ding's eyes lit up, handed You You to Chen You to hold, turned around to open the door, and took out a rod scale from the utility room.
Chen You pulled Xing'er back a few steps and moved the door out of the way.
The beggar entered the back door and poured the rag bag on the ground, all of which were rusty deadbolts and nails.
It seems that he should have turned over some abandoned yard and removed so much scrap iron.
Old man Ding was quick with his hands and feet, and quickly weighed the scrap iron, and then settled eight big coins and handed them to the beggar.
The beggar seemed to be too little, and after a few words with Old Man Ding, he reluctantly turned around and left.
After only a few steps, the beggar took out a browned chicken leg from his bosom and munched on it.
A strange fragrance suddenly wafted over.
