The wilderness of the southern country, thousands of feet of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, as far as the eye can see, stained with heavy frost. The mountains and forests are green, the rivers are frozen, and the world is vast for silver.

Ice branches are pretty, plum blossoms are fragrant, red and white are contrasted into a painting, and the silver hook sketches the ice Ling!

It was freezing and the wind and snow raged all night. Outside, the road, houses, and mountains are all covered with layers of thick snow, and overnight, the world has completely become a silvery world!

Inside the ruined temple, the bonfire that had been burning all night had been extinguished, leaving only a pile of black charcoal emitting wisps of green smoke and residual heat. After a night of campfire baking, the temple became warm and did not feel cold at all.

Mo Xingheng naturally stretched his body, the expression on his face was very peaceful, obviously, he must have slept well last night.

The early morning sunlight shines through the doors and windows, and the reflection of the snow illuminates the temple in white. Mo Xingheng sat up slowly from the straw mat, stretched out his two little hands and rubbed his sleepy eyes, then stretched out his hands and stretched out his waist, and yawned at the same time, only then did he wake up completely. Then he stood up, looked out the window, and said, "Ha, the beggars who get up early are fed, and the beggars who are lazy are hungry." Hehe, let's go!" After saying that, he ran out of the ruined temple like the wind.

The words are divided into two ends, this side is not pressed first, but it is said that today there is a crazy old beggar at the gate of Yunfu in the west of the city, this old beggar is in tatters, his expression is crazy, his long pale hair is unkempt, he holds a big wine gourd in his hand, and he pours a sip from time to time, and every time he drinks it, he laughs wildly and shouts good wine. Looks like an old drunkard who is a heavy drinker. It's just that to the surprise of the people around him, in this cold winter, he was only wearing a thin torn long shirt, and he didn't shiver at all, and he didn't seem to feel cold at all. But the others obviously felt cold and swishing in thick winter jackets, and couldn't help but shiver. Could it be that this old beggar has gone so mad that his nerves have lost his senses?

"Hey, I said Zhang Er, you look at this crazy old man called Hanako, what a weirdo."

"Who's to say it's not, Wang Si. You said that on this cold day, soaking urine can form ice slag, and he doesn't feel cold when he wears a ragged shirt. What a miracle, tsk. ”

The two doormen of Yunfu were talking about the old beggar with great interest across a large gate. As soon as the two of them came out at dawn and opened the door, they saw an old beggar lying in the doorway. The old beggar leaned against a stone lion at the door, his eyes narrowed slightly, his legs stacked on the snow at will, and he poured a sip of wine from time to time, looking drunk. It seems that he has been at the door for more than two hours.

"Zhang Er, you said this, do you want to go into the house and report it to the big housekeeper Liu, let him and the master report, our master has always been benevolent, and he is a famous good person in this Guilun City, if you let this old beggar stay here like this and ignore it, and spread it, I am afraid that it will be bad for the reputation of the master, besides, if the master knows, I am afraid that I will be angry, and blame you and me." At first, he was just surprised by the old beggar, but when he thought about it, he suddenly found that something was wrong with this, so he asked another doorman, who he called Zhang Er.

This Zhang Er is also a person with a bit of brains, pondering what Wang Si said in his heart, and after thinking about it, he also felt that it made sense, so he said: "Wang Si, you are right, you can't just do this and watch it, ignore it." Afterwards, when the master found out, he would definitely punish you and me for not having sympathy. At this point, after a moment of silence, he continued, "That's it, you watch here first, I'll go in and report this matter to Steward Liu, what do you think?" After speaking, he looked at Wang Si and waited for him to reply.

"Yes, you can go. Zhang Er, I'm watching here. You go and come back quickly. Wang Si did not hesitate for a moment, and made a decision very quickly.

"Okay, then I'll go and go back quickly," Zhang Er said quickly. As soon as the words fell, he turned around and walked quickly towards the house.

Soon, Zhang Er, who went in, walked out of the gate behind a man in a brocade robe, wearing a roof, aged about fifty, and looking very shrewd and sophisticated.

Wang Si, who was waiting beside him, saw someone coming, hurriedly bowed forward to greet him, and said respectfully: "Hello Steward Liu!"

The brocade-robed man stopped, stood on the side of the stone steps of the gate, and bowed his head slightly to Wang Si's greeting. His eyes looked at the old beggar leaning on the stone lion at the foot of the stone steps, and his thick eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Immediately, he beckoned Wang Si and Zhang Er to come to him, and whispered: "The two of you go forward to investigate the situation first, remember not to bump into the old man, and have a good attitude." "Steward Liu, as the chief butler of the richest man in Guilun Mansion, is certainly not a simple person, and he has seen many strange people and strange people around the master, so he can be said to be well-informed. That vision and insight are by no means comparable to those of the idle. Therefore, when he saw this old beggar, he felt that this person must be extraordinary. Not to mention anything else, it is not something that ordinary people can do just by wearing a thin shirt and not feeling cold in this freezing day, judging from his knowledge, this old beggar is very likely to have strong martial arts, and his internal strength must be very deep. Otherwise, it would never be possible to keep out the cold for so long with only internal strength. He couldn't do it himself. Yes, Steward Liu himself is a master of martial arts, with extraordinary martial arts, and in his early years, he also won a resounding name of "mixed yuan Qiankun hand" in the martial arts, in the northwest area

Very famous. On cultivation, you can also squeeze into the ranks of first-class martial arts players. It was only later that he was persecuted by an adultererous friend, and he happened to be rescued by Yun Ren, and in order to repay the great grace of saving his life, he was willing to give in and became the chief housekeeper of Yun Mansion. In a flash, he stayed in Yunfu for ten years. In the past ten years, he has been loyal to Yunren and has done his best to the affairs of the house, and Yunren's family has treated him like a relative and never regarded him as a subordinate.

Zhang Er and Wang Si came to the old beggar according to the instructions of Steward Liu, the two squatted down and looked at each other, Zhang Er motioned to Wang Si with his eyes, Wang Si hesitated for a moment, but still chose to speak, and said to the old beggar: "Hey, old man, you ......" just opened his mouth and didn't finish a sentence, he didn't know what to say next, and quickly turned his head and looked at Zhang Er with an embarrassed expression.

Zhang Er also had a difficult face, his mouth opened and closed, and he didn't know what to say. It's just that this matter was ordered by Steward Liu, and he watched from the sidelines, he really couldn't ignore it, so he had no choice but to reluctantly speak: "Ah, old man, how are you ...... Why do you sleep here? ”

As a result, the old beggar didn't even lift his eyelids, and he still looked drunk and crazy, as if he hadn't heard Zhang Er's words at all. It's all about treating him as if he didn't exist.

Zhang Er's face immediately turned red, and he was stabbed and ignored by an old beggar, which made him very embarrassed and ashamed. He was so angry that he almost turned around and left, if it weren't for the thought that Steward Liu was watching from the side, he couldn't wait to jump up and scold the old beggar. This old man called Huazi is too ignorant of lifting, thinking that he is a family member of the richest man in Guilun City, Yunfu, who walks outside on weekdays, and has a lot of face, but today he was instructed by Steward Liu to patiently talk to his old beggar, but he was ignored by the other party. How unreasonable!

Wang Si saw that Zhang Er had touched the nail, so he had to open his mouth to the old beggar again, and said: "Old man, it's cold outside, and you're afraid that you will suffer from the cold if you sleep here, so it's better to ......" Speaking of this, he couldn't say any more.

Because the old beggar turned his body over at this time, and deliberately left his back to Wang Si and the others. Obviously, the old beggar didn't want to deal with them.

Just when Zhang Er and Wang Si were feeling anxious and angry and embarrassed, Steward Liu, who was waiting on the side before, walked over, first comforted the angry two with his eyes and signaled the two to retreat, and then bowed to the old beggar with his back to him, and said in a very respectful tone: "Under Liu Dafu, he is the housekeeper of Yunfu, dare to ask who the predecessor is, and he is in the house today, but what advice do you have?" Steward Liu is fifty-five this year, and he is still in the middle-aged stage according to the age of martial arts, and this old beggar looks almost seventy years old, so there is nothing wrong with Steward Liu calling him a senior.

Steward Liu knew that the old beggar's actions just now were deliberately done to show him, which was to warn him not to maintain his identity, and casually sent two family members over to talk. At the same time, he also realized that this old beggar was most likely from the righteous path, and he should act in accordance with the right path, otherwise, if the other party came from the evil path and suffered from his own slow treatment, he would definitely not be so lightly treated, but he was afraid that he would have hurt people a long time ago. Knowing this, he was slightly relieved.

I don't know why, although he couldn't feel a trace of true qi fluctuations in this old beggar's body, as if the other party was an old man who didn't know martial arts at all, but his intuition told him that this old beggar must not be an ordinary old man. He trusts his instincts because his instincts have always been accurate, and he has never missed them in the past decades. It was this unusual intuition that allowed him to turn the tide several times and walk back from the brink of death. Therefore, he firmly believed in his intuition, this old beggar could not be an ordinary and ordinary old man, it was very likely that the other party's cultivation had reached the realm of returning to the basics. With his skill, he could not detect it.

But the realm that he couldn't even perceive with his skills, what a terrifying, terrifying realm it should be! Thinking of this, Steward Liu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't dare to think about it anymore. As a result, his attitude and expression became more and more respectful.

"Hehehe, the old beggar is just a bad old man who loves wine like his life, where is the senior master, let alone any advice, don't be so polite to Butler Liu, the old beggar can't stand it, can't stand it!" After listening to Steward Liu's words, the old beggar finally opened the golden mouth. It's just that he still turned his back to the three of them and didn't turn his body back.

After saying that, he picked up the big wine gourd and poured another big sip of wine, and then shouted good wine!

Steward Liu didn't dare to be dissatisfied with the old beggar's rude behavior, his body bowed slightly, his fists were clenched, and his tone was very respectful: "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare you insult your predecessors, think that your predecessors must be unconventional, and they will be worldly masters who play the world." Today, I am fortunate to be able to see the true face of my predecessors, I am really fortunate in the next three lives, and I am honored in my life!"

"Hehehe" The old beggar turned his back and laughed three times, and then, he turned his body violently, only to see that the old beggar's hair was white, his face was full of red light, his eyes were squinted, and between the closed curtains, the electric flash, which was breathtaking, but his face showed a comfortable and lazy smile, and said: "Steward Liu, don't bother me again! The old beggar is the old beggar, but he is not a master of the world, the old beggar only loves fine wine, and nothing else." ”

Steward Liu was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect the other party to deny it again and again. However, he quickly reacted, and he knew that the other party didn't want him to see through his identity. Since this is the case, he also said smoothly: "Haha, old man, since you like fine wine, it just so happens that my lord loves to store wine, and there are some old wines in the house, and the lord has always been hospitable, you can enter the house to have a good drink, I don't know what the old man thinks?"
