Chapter 4 Beginner's Quest (1)

He Ergou suddenly realized, turned around and strode towards the city gate. When he was about to walk under the city gate, suddenly a black shadow ran past, and He Ergou was knocked to the ground by the sudden impact. He stood up dizzily, only to find that the shadow was long gone.

"It's unlucky. He Ergou muttered and continued to walk outside the city gate. When passing through the huge city gate, He Ergou saw two rows of twelve people standing guard inside, all dressed in armor and holding spears, with solemn expressions and motionless. In front of this group of soldiers, there was a man wearing a close-fitting short coat, an official hat, and a horizontal sword at his waist, and he was talking to a person. Look at the man again, dressed in a loose robe, it looks like a high-quality splendid material, the clothes have a variety of patterns, graceful and luxurious, although the distance is too far to see the face, but you can still see that it is the lord of the rich and noble.

"What era is this, is that a landlord?" He Ergou thought, then stopped a man passing by, and asked politely: "Fellow, I just came here, I don't know who the two of you are over there?"

"Hey, when you come to Xiangyang, you have to know these two people, the one wearing the official hat over there is the gold medal catcher of the imperial court - Mo Yanhua, and the old man in the purple robe who talks to him is the richest man in Xiangyang City - Yue Lan, who is also a famous supernatural hero in the Central Plains. This Yue Daxia punishes evil and promotes good, and helps the world, but we are a great good man in Xiangyang!" This fellow looked very enthusiastic.

"That official head catcher and a martial arts hero, what do they have to say, could it be that this hero has committed a crime?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" the man was obviously stunned, "It is rumored that the famous gentleman of Liang Shang in the Central Plains has slipped to Xiangyang City recently, and Mo Yanhua, who is in charge of this case, has been tracking all the way here, and now he may be discussing with Yue Daxia about the search for thieves! Speaking of this Yue Daxia......"

He Ergou hurriedly said goodbye to the gushing fellow countryman, it seems that this Yue Daxia is highly respected and loved by the people. "Could it be that he is the decent boss in this game, a martial arts master?"

Walking outside the city, He Ergou saw two white hens playing and foraging on the grass by the door. He Ergou stepped forward to pick up the hen, returned to the old lady the same way, and returned the chicken to the old lady, the old lady smiled happily and said a lot of babbling, He Ergou didn't listen too much, only knew that in the end the old lady took out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them to He Ergou.

"It seems that this is the reward of the mission. After He Ergou said goodbye to the old man, he lowered his head and weighed the silver in his hand, "I don't know how much this is?"

Suddenly, He Ergou bumped into a person, and he hurriedly raised his head, about to apologize. But the man spoke first: "Master, give me some money." He Ergou looked at it, the man was unkempt, his clothes were tattered, his body was dirty and smelly, his mouth was full of broken teeth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt that black smoke was coming out.

He Ergou lived in China in the 25th century, when everyone lived in abundance, lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the society was thriving, such people were only seen in various books. He Ergou secretly thought: "This is the beggar disciple in the martial arts novel, right?"

According to the experience of reading martial arts novels, the beggar who stops people on the street to ask for food is likely to be a master of the world, a legend of martial arts, just disguised here, to test whether you are kind, if you donate generously, maybe you will get some peerless martial arts cheats.

Thinking of this, He Ergou took out the silver and handed it to the beggar in front of him, who expected the beggar to look down at the silver in his hand, and actually pushed it back: "Do you only have these few money, too little, too little!"

Are beggars so domineering! He Ergou was angry, but when he thought of his peerless martial arts, he still suppressed his anger and asked, "Then how much do you need?"

The beggar said leisurely, "Why don't you have a thousand taels first?"

"One thousand taels?" He Ergou exclaimed. The heart said, does this game need to be recharged to complete a novice task?

"What?" the old beggar looked at He Ergou with disdain, "It costs dozens of taels of silver to drink a drink, and a thousand taels is not enough for me to pay for a month's wine!"

The four big words inflation came to He Ergou's mind, the ghost knows what kind of strange setting this game is, but everything is for the sake of martial arts cheats, endure it!

He Ergou looked embarrassed, and asked with some embarrassment: "Then do you always know where to make money, I don't have as much as a thousand taels on me, I will make enough money and come back to you immediately." ”

He Ergouxin said that I am so sincere and kind, I have no money and I have to earn money to help him, maybe the old beggar will be moved by himself, and he will take out the cheats directly without really giving money!

"Oh," the old beggar plucked out his ears and said nonchalantly, "hunting, mining, fishing, going to the inn as a shopkeeper, and working hard for ten days and eight days, a thousand taels is enough!"

The old beggar paused, and the disdain on his face became even more obvious: "You are such a big man, with sound limbs, and you can't even earn a single penny?"

Why is this beggar so arrogant? He Ergou was angry, "Who can make money and be a beggar?"

Thinking of martial arts cheats, the angry words that came to his mouth were swallowed back. He Ergou politely thanked the beggar and went to find an errand where he could earn money. He walked into an inn and wanted to ask if there was a shortage of Xiaoer, but as soon as he entered the inn, he saw an overturned table and a floor full of wine and food. He Ergou knew that something was wrong, so he quickly hid to the shopkeeper's side and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" The shopkeeper replied with a sad face: "Alas, my lord was going to hold a banquet in the store today, but a few bandit-like people just came here, who seemed to be the enemies of the lord, and when they came in, they made a big fuss, arrested the lord, and smashed the shop!

He Ergou looked at the mess all over the ground, and couldn't help but rejoice that he was a citizen of the twenty-fifth century, in his world, everyone ate and drank without worry, and there was no such thing as a crime for a long time.

Suddenly, He Ergou had a flash of inspiration: "This is a side quest! If I can drive away this group of robbers, I don't know how much silver this rich old man can give me! That peerless martial arts will be gone!" He Ergou ignored the resentful eyes of the shopkeeper next to him, and asked happily: "Where is the old man tied up now?"

"I heard them discuss that it seems that you have gone to the ruined temple outside the city?" the shopkeeper looked at He Ergou, "Little brother, I see that you are also a person who practices martial arts, if you can go and save my master, you will definitely be rewarded with a lot of money!"

He Ergou was a little puzzled: "Since you know where it is, why don't you report to the official?"

"The people of the government are slow to do things, and when they go, the robbers will have already run away!

"I'll go. ”

He Ergou left the inn and went all the way out of the city, and finally saw the broken temple that the shopkeeper said in a hidden place on the outskirts of the city.

He Ergou tiptoed over, peeked in through the dilapidated window, and saw a fat old man in rich clothes tied up and thrown in the corner, and a dozen strong men around him were discussing something in a circle.
