Chapter 21: The Old Beggar
"I'm not a senior, I'm afraid that the prince has recognized the wrong person, I'm just an old man called Hanako......"
The old beggar was lying on the ground, leaning against a wall, crossing Erlang's legs, looking casual, staring at Chen Cuo, and smiling.
"Please also ask the seniors for advice!" Chen Cuo didn't pay attention to it, just arched his hand and said, in his heart, what you say is clear, and you laugh twice a day, knock on three appointments, not to mention, as soon as you meet, you will be called a prince, if you are a simple beggar, it will be evil!
Besides, even if you guess wrong, it's just a loss of face, and if it's right, it's a serious opportunity.
The old beggar smiled, knocked on the broken bowl in front of him, and said, "I always tell Huazi to sleep on the streets, waiting for others to give alms.
Chen Cuo replied: "The seniors laughed, it was you who made an appointment with me at this time." ”
"Hahaha!" The beggar suddenly laughed, and then pointed at Chen Cuo and said: "I am so noble, why is it that a big man like you is full of nonsense, don't you bully me and call me Hanako?
Chen Cuo was stunned for a moment, and then his heart moved, looking at the old beggar laughing while patting his shriveled stomach.
So, he arched his hand and said: "The night is cold and there is a shortage of things, since the seniors are hungry, it is better to enter the house and let people prepare wine and meat for entertainment." ”
The old beggar was overjoyed when he heard this: "If it is really a rich family, it is so atmospheric, a beggar like me can also enter the hall, quickly lead the way!"
Chen Cuo nodded when he heard this, led the old beggar into the house, and then beckoned Chen Hai and asked him to hurry up.
After a short time, the main hall of the Hou Mansion was brightly lit.
The large round table was filled with a dazzling array of delicacies, and many dishes were constantly served in front of the old beggar.
The old beggar opened his arms, revealing his strong muscles, and he grabbed the chicken legs and the big meat and feasted on it, and from time to time he wiped a paw on his body, and there was a lot of oil and mud on his beard, all over his body, and on his tattered clothes.
At the door, Chen Hai, who was directing the maid to serve the food, glanced at the old beggar with disgust, and then at Chen Cuo, who was on the side of the companion, and his heart was full of puzzlement.
He really didn't understand why in the middle of the night, the prince suddenly led such a beggar who couldn't get on the stage to come over, and called the people of the entire Hou Mansion up, and the whole palace was busy for a long time, just to entertain the beggar.
"Isn't it to try our loyalty? I remember that during the day, the prince and the marquis also let people find beggars, it should not be for no reason, alas, this is the middle of the night, it is really sleepy, if the prince and the marquis are messing around in the past, not to mention reporting to the old lady, even the aster stepped forward, and it can also dissuade one or two, but now it is ...... Huh?"
Chen Haiben complained secretly, but he was suddenly stunned, and then his eyes wandered, trying to find the figure in the crowd, but he found nothing.
"I haven't seen Aster in a while? Could it be that she has accepted her fate and no longer pesters the prince?"
But before he could think deeply, a servant came over to ask for follow-up, and there was chaos in the backyard, Chen Hai hurriedly went over to dispatch, this busyness, Fang Cai's thoughts were left behind.
After being full of wine and food, the old beggar patted his bulging belly, burped, and nodded at Chen Cuo with a smile on his face: "The food in the Hou Mansion is not ordinary, delicious!
"If you're satisfied, if you think it's delicious, stay and eat it every day, that's fine. Chen Cuo didn't care, just now Chen Hai hinted at himself, thinking that letting the beggar serve the table was a reversal of dignity and inferiority, but he crossed over, and he didn't pay much attention to it, plus he asked for others, how could he care about the details.
As long as it works, it should be used.
But the old beggar shook his head and said, "No, no, if I eat this Houfu meal every day, I'm afraid that I will lose my life, but I am not as comfortable as in the past." ”
Chen Cuo's heart moved, and with a wave of his hand, he asked Chen Hai to lead everyone to retreat first, and he didn't even let the guards of the nursing home stay, but this group of people had their responsibilities and didn't dare to stay away, so they finally compromised and stayed outside the door.
As soon as the people left, Chen Cuo closed the doors and windows, and asked again: "The words of the predecessors seem to mean something, and they hope to teach me!"
The old beggar Niu took a sip of tea, picked his teeth and said: "I don't understand the old name Huazi, the prince always asks like this, is it true that the meal is actually something else? The old man called Huazi has no money to pay you, let alone work, you have lost your capital!"
Chen Cuo took a deep breath and began to doubt in his heart.
After all, after a series of inquiries, the old beggar on the other side is just similar words, without leaking the slightest tone, is it really a cheat?
How can you explain smiling at yourself and Mohe, and you can't catch it with a strong posture?
What is the number of ways to knock on the wall three times and sit in the alley in the middle of the night?
For a while, Chen Cuo's mind was confused, and he was a little uncertain.
Seeing this, the old beggar picked up the wine jug and poured a sip, then smacked his mouth, pointed behind Chen Cuo, and exclaimed, "It's not good, there are ghosts!"
When Chen Cuo heard this, he was immediately startled, his face turned pale instantly, but he didn't turn around immediately, but gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, and then his face was fierce, he propped himself up with both hands, and instead of retreating, he was about to pounce on the old beggar!
The old beggar's eyes were full of surprise, and then he raised his hand and pointed at Chen Cuo, and spat out a word.
"Definitely!"
As soon as the word fell, Chen Cuo's whole body immediately stiffened, and it was difficult to move!
He kept the action of rushing forward like this, freezing in mid-air, as if someone had suddenly pressed the pause button!
"Tut-tut!" The old beggar put down his hand, wiped it on his body, and then sighed in amazement, "What a Marquis of Linru County, at such a time, you are still in danger, if you have cultivation, it is just that, it is clearly a mortal fetus in the flesh, and you know that evil is coming, and you can still keep your heart with a thought, it is rare! This mind may really be a seed of cultivation." ”
Chen Cuo will not be frightened and panicked, he maintained the forward pounce action, and found that his mouth was still moving, so he said: "The predecessor is really a stranger in the game dust!"
The old beggar laughed and said, "It's not a game to call Hanako, but it's a prince, you have come to look for it several times, could it be that you want to take away your sister's chance?"
Chen Cuo said: "The senior said that it was funny, it should be my sister's chance, it must be indispensable, how can I take it? You appeared in front of me this time, and waited outside the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night, I know the reason!"
The old beggar was stunned for a while, then looked Chen Cuo up and down, and finally shook his head and said, "It's really strange, you are transparent, as if you were a different person from before." ”
Chen Cuo said: "My life is threatened, this idea is naturally more transparent, and I hope that the seniors will rescue, pass on some talisman exercises, no exercises, borrow me some treasures, no matter how bad, you live in my house for a few days, if the evil ghost comes, help kill it, I will set up a banquet every day in the future, so that you can have a fresh soup, every day chicken and sheep!"
The old beggar shook his head and said with a smile: "You can't do that exercise and magic weapon as a stone on the street?" Don't say that I'm just a flower child, I don't have it at all, even if I have it, how can I give it to you, I must keep it for myself, as for staying here......" He grabbed a piece of mutton and swallowed it, and glanced at Chen Cuo, "Do you want to be a nursing home?"
Before he could say more, the old beggar waved his hand to stop.
He said: "Okay, if you eat a meal, you must repay one or two, after all, there is no one as generous as you in all these years of begging." ”
Chen Cuo was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "I don't know if the seniors want to pass on the exercises, or ......?"
"Without apprenticeship, learn the Xianmen exercises, but if you commit a taboo, even the relatives of the emperor will also be held accountable, you must know that this dynasty is only two or three hundred years at most, but Xianmen ...... What year did Master Guangcheng come?"
The old beggar picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and then scratched his head, with a thoughtful look on his face, and muttered: "Forget it, I don't want to, in short, the fairy gate is long, let me tell you, more than ten years ago, when the Taiqing was difficult, someone stole the collection of books from the sect, and now there are still a few souls who are still wailing, wailing in the netherworld, it is estimated that it will take another seventy or eighty years to completely dissipate, if you always ask Huazi to pass on your immortal gate exercises, do you really dare to learn?"
Chen Cuo shed cold sweat and laughed dryly, wanting to say "dare", but he hesitated, and secretly remembered the four words "too clear" in his heart, feeling that it should be an important event, thinking that he had to find an opportunity to ask.
After all, the old man's words reveal a lot of information, and he also said that you are not a master!
Unexpectedly, the old beggar suddenly approached and said with a smile: "Don't you dare to learn?
"Senior...... Hmm!" Chen Cuo's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to speak, but the old beggar's oily hand was already pressed between his chest and abdomen, and when he pressed it hard, a surging force erupted in his chest and abdomen, and it directly pressed Chen Cuo's back words back!
