Er Niu was crying, and when he saw the copper bowl that Lin Xiu suddenly placed on the ground, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurriedly picked up the copper bowl and looked at it carefully. `

"What's wrong?Erniu?" Lin Xiu asked.

Erniu raised his head and looked at Lin Xiu with a strange look in his eyes, "Oh, Uncle Lin, where did you get this copper bowl?"

"Picked it up. Lin Xiu said.

Erniu nodded, "Yes, if you are really a beggar in the copper bowl, then no one will dare to bully me Erniu in the future." ”

Lin Xiu smiled and asked, "Is there anything else special about this?"

"Absolutely. "There weren't many people early in the morning, so Erniu talked to Lin Xiu with insight," Uncle Lin, you must be a new beggar, I don't know our rules, this beggar is the same as those cultivators, they are all ranked, like my Erniu, it is the lowest beggar, you can only use a clay bowl to beg for food, and a higher one can use a porcelain bowl, but it must be a hole or a mouth, and then you have to be qualified, then you can use an iron bowl, hehe, only the head of those beggars dares to use a copper bowl, but well, the most powerful is the golden bowl, which can only be used by the boss of our beggars, there can only be one. ”

Lin Xiu couldn't help but laugh deeper, thinking that there was so much attention to being a beggar, "How many copper bowls are there in the black clothes alley, and who are the golden bowls?"

Erniu shook his head, "The copper bowls in Dragon City all have houses, although they are the kind of abandoned, but they can be regarded as mansions, there is only one iron bowl in our Black Clothes Alley, called Black Bear, and he was the one who carried you into the Black Clothes Alley that day." ”

"Oh. Lin Xiu nodded, "Then I have to thank him." ”

Erniu smiled, "No, our beggars in Black-clothed Alley are the most united, and Black Bear usually takes care of everyone, so it's not like those guys in White-Clothed Alley, hum, damn it, those people are obviously asking for food." I still want to put gold ...... on my face."

Dragon City is huge, it is the imperial capital of the "Izumo Upper Kingdom", and the Black Clothes Lane is still an extension of Dragon City, the closer it is to the Imperial City. The more prosperous it becomes. There are more people, and there are naturally more beggars, and there are two kinds of beggars in Dragon City, one is called black and the other is white. But in fact, it's just the same name, it's all about the same, but those beggars in Baiyi Lane usually beg for food near the homes of those princes and grandchildren, and they get more alms, so they naturally seem to be more arrogant, they are beggars, and they are also the descendants of those families, and when those families have something, the beggars in Baiyi Lane will go to help.

This is the case with people, who see others mix better than themselves. Erniu is naturally red-eyed, and the people in Baiyi Lane are not so polite, and the beggars in Baiyi Lane feel that they are high in Heiyi Lane, and they are usually extremely arrogant. These rights and wrongs were incomparably far away from Lin Xiu in the past, but now, he is already a mortal, old and frail, with only a copper bowl on his body, what else can he do if he doesn't ask for food.

But a cultivator is a cultivator. Lin Xiu also read poetry and books when he was young, and when Er Niu was begging for food, Lin Xiu was already making his own plans.

"If you are a beggar, you can be a beggar, and you will get some alms. Lin Xiu thought as he looked at the copper coins on the ground. "If possible, I set up a stall and write and draw for people. In the future, if there is an opportunity to meet a monk of a higher realm, he will get rid of a letter. Let's see if there's a chance for him to take it to the Nine Yin Demon Palace. ”

The possibility of this idea being achieved is extremely slim, but since there are cultivators in this place, then Lin Xiu will not give up, he has nothing now, but at least give Ru Wan a letter and ask her not to wait for him any longer.

The years have flown by, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. Lin Xiu wasn't used to it at first, but after a long time, he could be regarded as finding some ways to be a beggar. He would not mourn and beg like Er Niu and other beggars, on the contrary, Lin Xiu always sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and sat on the ground without paying attention. Those passers-by would always feel strange in their hearts when they saw Lin Xiu's beggar so dignified, and many people secretly thought that this old beggar was not a master of Taoism? If he gave some money, maybe he would be able to have a good cultivation in the future.

In the cultivation world, even mortals dream of greater luck, so with this method that is not a solution, Lin Xiu's life in the past half a year is quite passable, and he can get a lot of copper coins every day.

Lin Xiu saved some of this money, and gave the rest to Erniu, after a long time, Lin Xiu and Erniu are really like grandchildren, the two of them are together every day, and they eat the same things. Beggars, it is inevitable to be bullied, every time he encounters those wicked people, Er Niu behaves extremely thick-skinned, and always blocks those fists and feet and saliva for Lin Xiu.

On this day, Lin Xiu and Erniu walked a little farther away, and came to a relatively wealthy street to beg, and someone on the street was feasting guests in the store, as if his son had been promoted again, and the scene was very lively. Erniu thought that he could get more money and silver when he went up, but who knew that when the official master saw that someone was asking for food, he felt that he had swept his face, so he asked those subordinates to punch and kick Lin Xiu and Erniu.

In the past, mortals not only would not hurt Lin Xiu with such kicks, but also guaranteed that they would lose arms and legs, but now Lin Xiu is just an old man in the twilight, and he can withstand such kicks, and Er Niu saw that Uncle Lin was beaten, so he pounced on him and protected the old man with his body.

Lin Xiu saw that Erniu was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he was angry for a while, so he stepped forward and pushed those people away. Seeing that the old beggar resisted, those subordinates who were fed up with anger on weekdays became even more ruthless, and beat Lin Xiu more fiercely.

"Damn! There is a kind of beating Lao Tzu and bullying the old man, you ****** are all bad seeds!" Erniu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and dropped the mud bowl in his hand.

When those subordinates heard this, they immediately became angry, and when they mentioned Erniu, they didn't treat him as a child at all, but beat him to death.

Lin Xiu ran over to pull it, but he couldn't stop it at all. A flame burned in Lin Xiu's heart, he really hoped that even if he had a trace of cultivation now, he wouldn't want Erniu to be bullied like this.

"Stop. ”

Suddenly, a woman's voice came, and when the subordinates turned around, they all bowed their heads and bowed their waists when they saw the comer. `

"It turned out to be Miss Zining. ”

The woman named Zi Ning was about twenty years old, and she was beautiful, but her eyes were full of heroism. Zi Ning looked at those people, and then at Lin Xiu and Er Niu, "You Master Gu are really powerful, you don't even let go of such an old and weak." ”

"Miss Zining, these two beggars are so angry, they came to touch our master's moldy head, not to mention, but also to speak disrespectfully, they deserve to be killed. The leader of the group said.

Zining is the daughter of the 6 mansions of Dragon City, and has a very high status in the Izumo Upper Kingdom. And it is said that the palace thought that the prince was very infatuated with Zining, so the top and bottom of Dragon City were extremely respectful to Zining.

"Beggars beg for food in the streets. It's right, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, does your lord regard this street as his home?" Zi Ning glanced at those subordinates coldly, then turned his head and let the maid behind him take out ten taels of silver.

Zi Ning handed the silver to Lin Xiu. "Old man, take the child to the doctor. ”

"Thank you, no need. Lin Xiu said, Er Niu had been knocked unconscious, the corners of his mouth and nostrils were bleeding, Lin Xiu picked him up on his back and walked towards the Black Clothes Alley step by step.

Zi Ning looked at the backs of the two people, and suddenly stepped forward and snatched the two cows on Lin Xiu's back. Her body looked delicate, but as soon as she moved. Lin Xiu understood that this Zi Ning should be a cultivator, but now he couldn't see Zi Ning's realm.

"Old man, it's good to have backbone, but this kid's life is more important, right, I'll take you to the doctor. Zi Ning dragged Erniu with one hand, and then grabbed Lin Xiu with the other, walking extremely fast.

Instead of going to the infirmary, the three of them came to a remote back alley. Zi Ning put Er Niu on the ground, fed him a pill, and then used spiritual power to breathe Er Niu.

Looking at the woman's movements, I felt the faint agility around me. Memories of the past flooded in, and Lin Xiu's heart fluctuated.

Soon, Zi Ning stood up, "Don't worry, this kid will be fine soon." ”

Zi Ning smiled, and the two dimples on her cheeks were very intoxicating. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left happily, but Lin Xiu stepped forward and said, "Girl......"

"What's wrong?" Zi Ning turned around.

"You should be rushing to Guan Ning San, right?" Lin Xiu said.

Zi Ning was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Xiu strangely, "Old man, are you ......?"

Lin Xiu smiled, "No, I've just seen some immortal cultivators, they said that the Ning San Chong Pass needs to be gradual, if you are too impatient, and your eyebrows are bruised, you need to be silent for a while, otherwise, even if you succeed in the pass, it will damage your body a lot, and it will cause images in the future, uh...... I don't know if it's or not, but I just said it casually. ”

Zi Ning observed Lin Xiu for a while, and then thought about the scene where he was bullied just now, and felt that this old beggar should not be a cultivator, "Old man, what you said is right, I will keep it in mind, oh, my surname is 6, my name is Zi Ning, I don't know the old man's surname?"

"My surname is Lin ......," Lin Xiu smiled.

Zi Ning was as cheerful as a man, and after knowing Lin Xiu's name, she said goodbye and left, and as soon as she left, Erniu woke up.

"Erniu, are you okay?" Lin Xiu helped him up.

"It's okay, Uncle Lin, what happened just now?" Erniu was dazed for a while, "I remember that we weren't beaten? I thought I was dead." ”

Lin Xiu told the matter, and when Erniu heard it, he immediately said excitedly: "Oh, Uncle Lin, you, why didn't you wake me up earlier, it turned out that Miss Zining saved me, I have to repay her......"

Lin Xiu smiled, "What, stinky boy, do you still want to make a promise?"

Erniu suddenly blushed and scratched his head like a chicken nest, not knowing what to say.

Erniu told Lin Xiu that the 6 mansions were one of the most powerful families in the Izumo Upper Kingdom, and there were three monks in the 6 mansions, and there was also an ancestor in the Yuan Infant Stage, which was a force that the Izumo Imperial Family relied on very much.

Back in Heiyi Alley, Iron Bowl Black Bear and the others heard that Er Niu and Lin Xiu were being bullied, and they all clamored to repair the subordinates of the Gu Mansion, Lin Xiu persuaded for a long time before everyone finally held back their anger.

At night, everyone was asleep, but Lin Xiu walked outside the black alley, he looked at the bright moon in the sky, and his heart was constantly turbulent. I haven't felt the agility for a long time, and today Zi Ning inadvertently reminded Lin Xiu of the past. In the past six months, Lin Xiu has also returned to that cave, but he still hasn't found the mirror. Originally, Lin Xiu felt that he had given up a lot of thoughts, but now, he finally understood that his heart was not dead.

"But what can this be, the heart is not dead, the person is old...... 'leaning on the sword and asking the common people'......" muttered, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiu's mouth.

"Uncle Lin, why haven't you slept?" Erniu walked out of the black-clothed alley.

"Can't sleep. Lin Xiu turned his head, "What's the matter?" Are you thinking about Miss Zining again?"

Er Niu shook his head, he sat beside Lin Xiu, and also looked at the full moon in the sky, "Uncle, have you ever seen an immortal?"

Lin Xiu wanted to shake his head, but looking at Erniu's gaze at the moment, he suddenly felt something and said, "I've seen it." ”

Erniu was pleasantly surprised, and immediately asked, "Uncle, then, what is that immortal like?"

"Immortals fly to the sky, they can be said to be omnipotent, however, it is not so easy to be an immortal, many cultivators will either die or lose everything in the end, Erniu, there is no need to envy immortals, it is good to be a mortal. Lin Xiu remembered his past, he knew what kind of place the cultivation realm was, and he didn't want Erniu to embark on that path.

Erniu said: "What is good about mortals, if I can cultivate immortals, I won't let people bully you Uncle Lin today, I heard that immortals will not be hungry, immortals will not be thirsty, and if you become an immortal, you will not be cold and poor." ”

As he spoke, a tear suddenly slipped from the corner of Erniu's eyes.

Lin Xiu never asked Erniu's life experience, he knew that such a child must be more miserable than him, without a father and mother, without support, being a beggar every day was coldly looked at and bullied, at this moment, looking at Erniu, Lin Xiu suddenly felt that if he could help him enter the Tao, maybe this child could live a better life.

6. In front of the house.

Lin Xiu waited for a whole day, and that night, he finally saw the 6 eldest ladies Zi Ning coming back from outside with the maid.

The two of them should have been out for a whole day, and they are all happy at the moment.

"Miss Zining. When Zi Ning was just about to enter, Lin Xiu walked out.

Zi Ning turned her head and looked at Lin Xiu as if she thought for a while before remembering the face in front of her, "Eh, Mr. Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Xiu smiled, "I'm just a beggar, and I can't be a gentleman." ”

Zi Ning stepped forward and put on Lin Xiu's sleeve, and said happily: "Where is the old man, if it weren't for your reminder, I would have almost mistaken my own cultivation, my father came back from outside a few days ago, and his teaching to me is the same as what you said." Fortunately, you told me in advance, and I didn't practice again in those days, otherwise, I don't know what will happen, hehe, Mr. Lin, my father said that if I can see you, I must thank you in person. Well, it just so happens that the old gentleman came with me, and my father was at home. ”

Lin Xiu waved his hand, "Miss Zining, I just said it casually, I don't dare to be, I'm here to ...... this time."

Seeing Lin Xiu's hesitation, Zi Ning said: "Old man, please speak up, Zi Ning will definitely go all out to help." ”

Lin Xiu was indeed hesitating, not embarrassed to speak, but he didn't know if he was doing it right, in the end, Lin Xiu still said: "Miss Zining, the child you rescued last time is called Erniu, although I am not a relative with him, but it is better than a relative, I am still good, but he is still young, I don't want him to be a beggar for the rest of his life, I heard that the 6 mansions are strong, I don't know if Miss Zining has a way to let Erniu have a chance to cultivate?"

When Zi Ning heard this, she was about to speak, but suddenly smiled again, "Mr. Lin, this is not difficult, but I have a request." ”

Lin Xiu bowed, "As long as I can make Erniu live better, I will never forget Miss Zining's kindness." ”

"The old gentleman is serious, I just ask that you enter my 6th mansion with Erniu. Zi Ning said with a smile, "The 6 mansions have their own barracks, and they are often recruiting disciples, if I go to talk to my father, he should agree, but old man, you must accompany Erniu to come over, otherwise, I will not have a chance to repay your kindness."
