In Changshou County, Cangzhou, Chongyang State, a short old man covered in dust and messy hair like a bird's nest led a gray-haired donkey to stop and go.

He held a clean white bowl, spoke in a dialect that he didn't know where, and kept pleading with passers-by: "Good Samaritan, good Samaritan, enjoy some food, I haven't eaten for a few days." ”

Although the old man's posture was very low, he still touched a gray nose everywhere, and some people shouted: "There is no food to eat, why don't you slaughter and eat your donkey." ”

Whenever someone else asked this question, the old man grinned with big yellow teeth, and he didn't speak, just laughed non-stop.

From morning to noon, the old man begged for a total of five copper coins, but he still couldn't stand it when he met a colleague, so he proudly pinched out five copper plates from his bowl and said to help each other.

The short old man probed his brain with five pennies in his hand, and led the donkey to stand for a long time in front of a shop selling authentic longevity noodles.

He rubbed his dry dry hands and asked with a smile, "Shop, how do you sell a bowl of noodles?" ”

Cheng Mian Xiao Er glanced at the old man, a little tired, and waved his hand: "Go away, go away, don't you see that the meal is busy, I don't have time to greet you." ”

The old man took out five cents and smiled bitterly: "Rich, rich." ”

Xiao Er was really happy, and quipped: "You, let's go over there to sell steamed buns, this longevity noodles are a well-known authentic thing in our Changshou County, a bowl of at least fifty wen, can you eat it." ”

The old man laughed dumbly.

At this time, there was a bang on the wooden table in front of him and a silver ingot, and a tall man with a rusty iron sword on his back grinned: "Two bowls of longevity noodles, and two pots of burning knife wine, the spicier the better." ”

Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and he took away the silver and said with a smile: "Please come in." ”

The little gray-haired donkey suddenly barked twice.

The tall man corrected with a smile: "If you want three bowls, you don't have to go into the house, just squat outside the door and eat, whether you can beat it or not." ”

Xiao Er was a little puzzled, turned around and took two pots of strong knife wine, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, then you just wait." ”

The man picked up two pots of wine and handed out a pot and said with a smile: "Senior, drink first?"

The old man was really not tall, so he had to look up at the man, wipe his hands on his body, and twisted: "How embarrassing is this." ”

Ding Qiu sat down in the free space at the door, shook the wine jug and said with a smile: "If you don't want to drink, I'll throw it away." ”

The old man hurriedly tied the donkey to a wooden post, wiped it on his body again, snatched the wine and laughed: "This is difficult, isn't it a waste." ”

Ding Qiu pursed his lips and said in a riddle: "Senior, since you can let me find you, you must be willing to see me, make a price." ”

The old man took a sip of wine, and immediately grinned his teeth, the wine was too spicy, but he was puzzled: "Little brother, you are a good person, how can you talk nonsense, I am not a senior, I am a begging for food." ”

Ding Qiu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's really boring to do this." ”

The old man spread his hands and said, "I really don't understand." ”

As soon as these words came out, the man got up directly and said angrily: "Drink a fart wine, bring it to me." ”

The old man hurriedly turned around and put the wine on his chest, and said anxiously: "The things that were sent out, the water that was spilled, how could you be so unreasonable." ”

Ding Qiu snorted coldly, sat down and sighed, and then smiled: "If you really don't want to make a move, it's okay, either give me your big white bowl, or lend me your donkey to ride for two days, what do you think." ”

The old man hesitated for a while, put the wine bottle on the ground with some reluctance, and said hoarsely: "Then I still don't drink, the white bowl is my guy who eats and begs, and the donkey has depended on me for many years, and I am reluctant to suffer a little." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper Xiao Er was slowly walking over with a tray, three bowls of hot and painful filament longevity noodles.

Ding Qiu smiled directly: "If you are reluctant to forget it, I guess you definitely don't particularly want to eat this noodle." ”

The man got up and wanted to take the tray and leave, but the old man hesitated, and finally sighed and complained: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't help." ”

Ding Qiu turned his head and asked, "What do you say?" ”

The old man got up and took down two bowls of hot long beard noodles, one bowl was gently placed in front of the little donkey, and the bowl was eaten directly, and he was not afraid of being hot, and poured a mouthful of noodles and soup into his mouth, and after eating, he burped and said: "Don't you just want me to help you deal with that evil animal, even if your senior brother is here, it is very difficult to make a move, it is all some old things about old sesame seeds and rotten grain, and there are a lot of curves and curves in it." ”

Ding Qiu took another bowl of longevity noodles and handed it to the old man, and said with a smile: "It's okay for seniors to talk about it." ”

The old man took the next few mouthfuls and cleaned it up, pursed his lips and said: "There is a terrible old guy behind that dragon, there is a small island that can move on its own in the middle of the sea area of Chongyang Country and Luandong Kingdom, that is the real body of this person, he is a turtle demon who has lived for at least a thousand years, and his strength is out of the ten realms, so he is not easy to mess with." ”

The man with the sword on his back nodded a little impatiently, some things are really undemanding.

The man glanced at the donkey, got up and stood in front of the noodle restaurant, waved his hand and said, "Since you don't want to make a move, forget it." ”

The short old man kept tapping his fingers between his legs, shook his head and hurriedly said, "Wait, wait." ”

He got up and sighed: "If you don't help, you really want me to fall into the name of not thinking about the world and not saving me when I see death, I promised this matter, but if it happens, you will bear the responsibility, and the demon pill will belong to me." ”

The man directly laughed and scolded: "Why don't you die." ”

But after a while, he still nodded, with a joking look on his face, "As long as you have that ability, you can take it."

In Shangde Academy in Tai'an City, Jiang Huai still follows He Siqi to learn to write talismans every day.

In addition to the reverse water talisman, the boy also mastered a character called "Suppression Talisman", the effect of which is self-evident, after using this talisman, the caster is like a fixed body, unable to move.

The handsome He Siqi still carried the small gourd and fell on the wooden board to squint and rest, and the gray-clothed boy sat on the side, occasionally tearing off a few blades of grass, occasionally rolling around on the wooden board, and having a lot of fun.

In addition to writing characters, Jiang Huai began to temper his physique as soon as he had time, and even today, he has tempered a whole arm.

The drowsy He Siqi rubbed his eyes, yawned and looked at a huge flying boat about dozens of zhang long in the distance, and muttered, "It seems that the sky of this Chongyang Kingdom is really going to change. ”

He turned to look at the young man and said sharply, "Jiang Huai, can you step into the Three Realms within three months." ”

The young man was still pulling Haoran Qi from his toes to continue refining, and after hearing the voice, he thought about it and replied, "I don't know, I'll do my best anyway." ”

He Siqi sneered: "What do you try your best or not, it is all deceiving your inner thoughts, you have to learn to fight, you have to practice in a desperate state, if you don't meet the requirements at that time, the burden in your heart will be much smaller." ”

Jiang Huai nodded, and increased some traction Haoran's qi, and suddenly the entire footboard was like a needle prick, and he was in grief.

He Siqi didn't even look at it, and smiled at the gray-clothed boy: "You have a treat, let's go out to eat?"

The gray-clothed boy looked at him with joy in his eyes and nodded suddenly, "Okay, I have money." ”
