It took Hu Man'er a lot of effort to reluctantly carry the old beggar back to the mountain pass. This old man looks skinny, but he really carries it on his shoulders like a thousand pounds.

Over the years, I have been cultivating hard in the mountains, not to mention the strength of a thousand catties, and my strength is always much greater than that of ordinary people. But carrying such a bad old man actually tired Hu Man'er out of sweating profusely.

Of course, Lu Yanran was shocked for a while when she saw Hu Man'er carrying someone back. Obviously he went out to collect firewood, but he carried back an old man.

Although she was suspicious, Lu Yanran hurriedly put the little girl down gently on the bluestone on the side, and got up to help Hu Man'er settle the old beggar properly.

"Who is this person, why did you pick up firewood and pick up an old man?" Lu Yanran reached out and patted some of the dust on the old beggar's body.

"Hey, this guy is a beggar, I met him in Phoenix a few days ago, and I just had a few drinks with him. But he inquired about your news for me. Otherwise, I'd still be running around like that headless fly. Hu Man'er reached out and wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, and replied softly.

Lu Yanran carefully looked at the unkempt and drunken old man in front of him, and was a little puzzled.

"Oh, how can a mere beggar be so well-informed?"

After she said this, Hu Man'er also had some doubts and scratched her head.

"I also don't think this person is as simple as an ordinary beggar, and there is a sense of déjà vu, but I can't remember where I've seen him. After saying that, he thought for a moment, but after a moment he shook his head.

"Whatever he does, he doesn't look like a bad guy anyway. I didn't see him do anything bad. ”

"The bad guy didn't write the word bad guy on his forehead for people to see. Lu Yanran glanced at Hu Man'er, dropped a sentence, turned around and walked to the little girl, closed her eyes and recuperated.

Hu Man'er looked at Lu Yanran, and then at the old beggar. Suddenly remembered something and said, "My firewood." "Turn around and run like a col.

Silent all night, the old beggar beside him snored like thunder, and from time to time he chirped and chirped, perhaps enjoying some delicacies of the mountains and seas in his dreams, and the aftertaste was endless.

Hu Man'er looked at the little girl sleeping next to Lu Yanran, this little girl looked a little cute. How could fate be unfair, and she was orphaned at such a young age.

The mountain breeze was slightly cool, Hu Man'er took off his robe and gently draped it on Lu Yanran and the little girl, stretched out his finger and lightly tapped it on the little girl's forehead.

"At least you know who your parents' names are and where they live, and I'm much worse than you. Hu Man'er muttered in a low voice.

The sky was slightly bright, and the first rays of sunlight shone into the col, which happened to hit Hu Man'er, who got up and stretched, walked out of the col, and practiced his boxing skills.

After cultivating to the great advancement, Hu Man'er felt that when he practiced boxing again, the fist intent on his body had also made a qualitative leap, and he felt that he had inexhaustible strength.

Hu Man'er fought faster and faster, each punch carried a whirring sound of breaking the wind, and when he hit the last punch, Hu Man'er punched a huge bluestone next to him.

A strong fist slammed into the boulder, leaving a deep fist mark on the boulder, and after a while, the fist mark slowly cracked around it.

"The strength is enough, and the speed is not bad, but this punch is sparse. Who taught you?"

The sound of speaking sounded, Hu Man'er heard the words and looked, the old beggar leaned on the stone wall next to him and clasped his nose full of disdain, although his movements were not very elegant, but his body was magnificent.

"Yo, senior, are you awake?" Hu Man'er put away his fist and didn't answer the old beggar's words, but just walked towards the mountain col.

When he walked in front of the old beggar, the old beggar stretched out his hand to block Hu Man'er's way, and smiled: "Little brother, do you still have any wine?"

"Wine, where can I get wine in this barren mountain and wilderness? Bear with me, when I'm done with my business, please drink enough. But then again, you don't want to stay in Phoenix anymore and do something in this ravine. Didn't I ask the innkeeper to leave you wine?

"Stayed, stayed. But it's too little, not enough for me to stuff my teeth. The old beggar's flattery was overflowing, and the heroism of Fang Cai was gone.

Hu Man'er patted his forehead and smiled bitterly: "You are relying on me." ”

"Alas...... Little brother, where is this, you and I meet is fate, since there is fate, we must obey the destiny of heaven. ”

"Destiny is that I want to invite you to a drink?

The old beggar smiled: "I won't let you invite in vain." ”

Hu Man'er didn't believe the old beggar's words at all, just thought that the old beggar hadn't woken up from last night's wine.

"Senior, I really have something important to do, so you better go back first. When I'm done, I'll go to you and make sure you drink the best apricot blossom stuff?"

Yan Ran and the little girl in the interior of the col have already woken up, and they are packing their bags by themselves.

Hu Man'er walked close and squatted down to look at the little girl: "Little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl grabbed Lu Yanran's skirt and shrank behind Lu Yanran, not daring to look at Hu Man'er more.

Lu Yanran looked at the little girl's appearance, shook her head at Hu Man'er, and signaled that he was useless.

Hu Man'er sighed: "Forget it, do you know where the sect of the Ghost Hand Sect is located?"

Lu Yanran shook her head: "I don't know, this Ghost Hand Sect is originally a crooked and evil way, if the sect is so easy to find, with their evil deeds, it would have been destroyed by the people in the righteous path a long time ago." ”

This time it stumped the two, yesterday was careless, and one of them should be left to guide the way, but now it's too late to say anything.

"Alas...... I know, I know. Look at the little brother, what is the old man talking about? Don't let you invite me to drink for nothing. Where the Ghost Hand Sect you are talking about is located, the old man knows. The old man can lead you there. The old beggar who had just followed behind him heard what the two said, and hurriedly puffed up his chest and spoke confidently.

After hearing this, Lu Yanran and Hu Man'er glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at the old beggar suspiciously.

The old beggar was a little uncomfortable, waved his hand and turned away: "Don't believe it." ”

Hu Man'er stepped out and blocked in front of the old beggar: "Senior, I believe, I believe." I have to be told by my seniors. As I said, please have enough to eat afterwards. ”

"Hehe, that's pretty much it. The old beggar hurriedly stopped, looking proud.

The old beggar was really capable, and led the three of them for a morning, and really came to a remote valley, which was full of miasma all day long.

Although miasma is not toxic, it can affect detection. As far as the eye can see, it's only a foot away.

"The sect of this Ghost Hand Sect is in the hinterland of the valley behind this miasma. The terrain here is really complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is no wonder that there are very few people in the world who know about this place. Fortunately, the old man accidentally crossed this miasma layer when he traveled in his early years, otherwise he would not have known about this place. A few people stopped, the old beggar explained.

Hu Man'er tapped his toes when he heard this, and the whole person jumped into the air and jumped on the top of the big tree on the side. Although this miasma is strong, it only gathers in low-lying places, and it can still be seen from the top of the tree.

At this time, Hu Man'er was in front of him a palace that was not too big, although the scale was not large, but the materials used to build the hall were relatively extravagant.

The glazed tiles on the roof of the hall are dazzling, and each pillar is carved with mutton fat and jade, and I don't know how many gold and silver treasures this so-called ghost hand religion has looted over the years to have such abundant financial resources to build here.

Hu Man'er jumped down and hugged his fists in the face of the old beggar.

"Seniors, thank you for leading the way, if Hu Man'er had thanked him for this kindness first, there would be one more thing to ask for. After speaking, he paused and glanced at the little girl behind Lu Yanran, and continued to speak.

"This girl is also a hard-working person, and she has tasted the pain of family ruin at such an age. Now this Ghost Hand Sect and I and Senior Nephew Lu must break through, this is extremely dangerous, and life and death are unpredictable. This little girl still has to be brought out of here by her predecessors. If the two of us come out alive, we will take her back, if ...... can't come back, and I hope that my predecessors will miss her and be pitiful and can take her in. ”

The old beggar stroked his white beard and did not answer, while the little girl grabbed the hem of Lu Yanran's clothes and refused to let go, Lu Yanran squatted down to comfort for a long time, and the little girl slowly moved behind the old beggar. It's just that his face is full of tears.

Seeing that the arrangement was in order, the two of them clasped their fists and saluted, then turned and galloped away, disappearing into the thick miasma in three or two steps.

The old beggar smiled at the disappearing backs of the two, and reached out to take the little girl's white and tender hand. With a slight step under his feet, he disappeared in place, as if this person had never appeared here, silently.
