Chapter 10: The Old Beggar Man
There are all kinds of pedestrians on the road of Taoguan Town, which is a small microcosm of this great world.
The bluestone brick-paved road is full of pedestrians, and the hawkers are constantly shouting, even if it is located on the border of Yongzhou, it is still very prosperous.
On the street, Lin Fan walked like an ordinary person, experiencing this different kind of world.
Occasionally, you can see a few people drinking and writing poems, or they are on the road non-stop.
"A small town is still like this, I don't know what the big cities in the Great Wilderness of Kyushu look like?" Lin Fan muttered to himself as he looked at the streets full of traffic.
Lin Fan kept walking south, wanting to find out about the situation near the Lingyun Mansion.
"I'm afraid the people of Lingyun Mansion never dreamed that I would go to them!" Lin Fan sneered in his heart.
After passing through the bustling alleys, the cries of those small traders became farther and farther away, and finally gradually dissipated into the blue tiles and white walls.
There is no noise and prosperity here, but there is an atmosphere similar to that of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The willows beside the green tile white wall are like smoke, although a lot of willows are withered and yellow, but there are still a little scenery of the past, although it is already afternoon, but there are still bursts of fog rising under the shade of the willows.
Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh, this place is just like the medieval realm in Zhang Zeduan's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", although it is not as prosperous as Bianjing back then, but the atmosphere is similar.
A few children were playing at the foot of the wall, and the innocent laughter was the most beautiful nature, which reminded Lin Fan of Ling'er, a little girl in the ancient village at the foot of the Magic Mountain.
Lin Fan took out the straw man from his arms, and he couldn't help but have a faint sadness in his heart.
"What a poor boy who has to take on everything early. ”
Not long after walking, Lin Fan saw tall pavilions from a distance, where blue, yellow, green, and purple Dan Qi were rising from time to time, and it was obvious that someone was refining Dan.
When I got closer, I saw a tall mansion, and the door with gold and jade was engraved with three big characters of "Lingyun Mansion".
"It's really extravagant, this immortal cultivator is really happy!" Lin Fan secretly laughed.
In Lin Fan's heart, a true immortal cultivator should go in and out of the deep mountains and ancient forests, fight against demons and beasts, and concentrate on penance and don't care about this worldly thing.
Lin Fan hid behind a big willow tree and quietly observed the movements of Lingyun Mansion.
Outside the gate of Lingyun Mansion, there were two Dao boys standing there, each holding a whisk, and there was a faint light in their eyebrows, obviously they had just practiced.
After a while, a few disciples dressed in Lingyun Mansion's green robes walked out, as if they were going to do something, their cultivation was not high, and they should only open two divine caves.
"It seems that among the immortal cultivators of Lingyun Mansion, only those elders are relatively high. Lin Fan had a certain amount of detail in his heart.
"If it's true that person said, their Great Elder has a connection to the Hall of Eternal Life, then it's troublesome. ”
Lin Fan had experienced a danger, he had some knowledge of his own strength, and his body that had been cleansed and purified by the Xuanhuang Qi was enough to deal with enemies who were several levels higher than him.
"I have to be patient for a while, and when my cultivation improves, I will let this Lingyun Mansion know how powerful I am!" Lin Fan clenched his fists.
After observing for a while, Lin Fan didn't have much to gain, so he quietly retreated from behind the big willow tree and returned to the center of the town to find an inn to live in.
The small building is deep in the alley, and the inn that Lin Fan is looking for is different and quiet. There's a feeling of being in the world yet away from the hustle and bustle.
Lin Fan lived in the small pavilion at the corner of the second floor, and there was a purple incense burner on the table in the small pavilion, and a faint fragrance and light purple smoke were wafting out from the incense burner.
Open the small hollow window of the wood carving, and below is a small green river, like jade. Small boats sail along the river, and fishermen sing old songs. In the distance, there was a stone arch bridge, the bridge was crowded with people, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians Lin Fan took a deep breath of fresh air, closed the small window, sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and began to cultivate.
Lin Fan felt that he was sure to open up the second giant Que Divine Acupoint on his abdomen tonight, his thoughts were immersed in the mysteries in his body, and if there was nothing outside his body, nothing could disturb his cultivation.
The Xuanhuang Qi was running in Lin Fan's body, and Lin Fan's body could faintly see black and yellow aura surging and circulating under Lin Fan's skin.
Lin Fan's First Divine Cave began to emit a dark yellow light, and under Lin Fan's intentional control, the light was much darker. If this abnormal light was seen by mortals or immortal cultivators, it would inevitably cause trouble.
At the center of Lin Fan's eyebrows, the black singularity that represented the cultivation of the first divine acupoint to the extreme appeared, and the ancient "Dao" character seal also loomed.
Lin Fan didn't know how long he had been cultivating, but at this time, the moonlight and starlight outside the window shone through the hollowed out window on the small table where the incense burner was placed, as if a layer of silver frost had been struck.
At this time, Lin Fan had also cultivated to a critical juncture, and he was about to try to open up the second great divine cave "Juque".
A dark yellow filament-like aura swam from the center of Lin Fan's eyebrows, it emitted a faint brilliance, gradually swimming along Lin Fan's forehead to the bridge of Lin Fan's nose, and then swimming to the middle of Lin Fan's lips and gradually disappearing, but the traces of the dark yellow that had just slipped were still there, which made Lin Fan look as if he had been split in half.
After a while, the dark yellow filament reappeared, and it began to slide down the collarbone under Lin Fan's throat, but this time the filament became extremely slow.
Lin Fan was following the record of the "Three Graves" to attract a trace of Xuanhuang True Qi in the First Divine Acupoint to try to reach the Juque Divine Acupoint along the Du vein in the Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra in his body, but because Lin Fan's Qi Jing Eight Veins were opened, the Du Pulse was not smooth, resulting in the extremely slow operation of the Xuanhuang True Qi.
"Three Tombs" records that Ren, Du, Yang, Yin, Shaoyang, Shaoyin and other strange meridians each hide great potential and divinity, and the next realm after the opening of the nine divine acupoints is to open up the eight veins of this strange meridian.
The dark yellow filament had already swam to the position of the Divine Cave Giant Cave at this time, and Lin Fan's Giant Divine Cave began to emit a faint brilliance.
"Open!" Lin Fan quickened the flow of Xuanhuang True Qi, and he felt that the giant door of the Giant Que Divine Cave was about to be opened by him.
"Boom!" Lin Fan's body let out a rolling thunderous sound, and the door of the Giant Que Divine Cave was slammed open by him, and the Xuanhuang Qi in his body poured into it like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.
The giant divine acupoints in Lin Fan's body were like a big gully that could not be filled one by one at this time, and most of the Xuanhuang Qi in his body was swallowed in a moment. Lin Fan had no choice but to start frantically devouring the surrounding heaven and earth aura.
"If this continues, someone will definitely notice!" Lin Fan thought to himself, but he couldn't stop, otherwise the giant divine cave would squeeze him dry.
"You can't be so reckless next time. ”
Lin Fan thought of the Demon Mountain again, it was really a good place for him, if he cultivated on the Demon Mountain, he didn't have to worry about this and that.
Lin Fan's cultivation was indeed noticed by many immortal cultivators, but these people didn't care, after all, there were many immortal cultivators in this Taoguan Town, and any immortal cultivator in the Eight Phases Spirit Realm could have such a movement, but if these people knew that this was just Lin Fan's movement to impact the second great divine cave, they would definitely be surprised.
After a long time, Lin Fan's Giant Que Divine Acupoint finally stopped devouring, and Lin Fan used the vast Xuanhuang Qi in his body at this time for a few weeks to notice that there was nothing abnormal, so he stopped cultivating.
"This is not the same as opening up the First Divine Acupoint!" Lin Fan sighed, he felt that the Xuanhuang Qi in his body had increased more than tenfold, and his strength had also increased a lot, and he felt that he could tear apart the tiger and the giant elephant with his bare hands!
Lin Fan opened the small window, at this time the sun was just born, the morning glow had not dispersed, the thick fog on the turquoise river was rising, and the willows next to the river were looming in the thick fog, just like a slender beauty.
On the stone arch bridge in the distance, there are already many vendors selling all kinds of breakfast.
Lin Fan cleaned up, went to settle the bill, and left this inn, he felt that if he stayed there again, he might be approached by other immortal cultivators.
"Let's go buy some breakfast first. Lin Fan walked in the direction of the stone arch bridge.
Lin Fan walked along the bluestone brick path by the river, while enjoying the beautiful scenery of this ancient town in the early morning.
The willows on the side of the river are piled up with smoke, the yellowish willow flutters gently with the wind, Lin Fan is like walking in a fairyland, and there are occasionally fishermen paddling through the small river in the mist. Tranquility and nature.
Lin Fan walked onto the ancient stone arch bridge, the stone steps of the stone arch bridge have been potholed, and must have experienced many years of wind and rain.
Lin Fan simply solved the problem of early, and when he had nothing to do, he wandered around this bridge.
The fog gradually dissipated, and the pedestrians on the stone arch bridge gradually increased, and the small vendors called harder.
A gray voice in the endless stream of pedestrian figures attracted Lin Fan!
It was a gray-clad beggar old man, holding a broken bowl in one hand, a withered bamboo cane in the other, and a pair of yellowed eyes staring blankly ahead, he paced step by step down the stone arch bridge.
"Does the old beggar often appear here?" Lin Fan asked a vendor who sold breakfast, his eyes were fixed on the limping old beggar who had appeared on the stone arch bridge like a ghost, and Lin Fan didn't know when he appeared. With Lin Fan's perception, it is impossible not to detect an ordinary beggar old man.
"The old beggar is strange to say! I saw him begging in this neighborhood when I was very young, and he still looks like that after all these years. The vendor said.
"Hasn't changed for decades?" Lin Fan was surprised, he felt that this old man should be a cultivator with advanced cultivation.
"Some people pity him for giving him something to eat, but they have never seen him eat, and they have never seen him use the copper coins that were rewarded to him. Later, many people said that the old beggar was a ghost who wandered in the sun, because no one noticed him when he walked by him, but gradually the people of the town agreed with this statement, and no one dared to approach him or talk to him. The vendor said again.
Lin Fan felt that this old man was not simple, so he decided to go up and take a look.
The old beggar seemed to be limping when he walked, but it was strangely fast, and he walked three or two steps away from him a dozen steps.
Under Lin Fan's gaze, the old man walked down the stone arch bridge in three steps, walked to a willow tree with withered yellow willow and sat down.
Lin Fan secretly said that if this beggar old man didn't stop, he really wouldn't be able to catch up.
Lin Fan stepped in front of the old man and found that the old beggar was staring into the distance with blank eyes, and there was no trace of Lin Fan in his eyes.
Lin Fan felt that the pupils in the yellow eyeballs of the old beggar seemed to be different from ordinary people, and there were lights and shadows circulating in the old man's pupils, but the light and shadow were not the scene in front of him.
What is that! Lin Fan saw a boundless terrifying scene in the old man's eyes! In the old man's eyes was a ruin and broken wall, where several terrifying demon shadows were frantically slaughtering, with stumps and broken arms everywhere, and blood flowing; the earth continued to break and sink with the movements of those demon shadows, and from time to time huge star fragments in the sky shot down, and mountain ranges were broken and shattered, a scene of annihilation!
Lin Fan looked at these scenes and felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, he felt a terrible coercion, he felt as if he had been crushed by the boundless sky, if it weren't for the oracle bone in Lin Fan's eyebrows and heart to resolve the crisis, Lin Fan was sure that he would be seriously injured if he didn't die.
"It's terrible!" Lin Fan calmed down, but he still had palpitations.
At this time, a ray of light flashed in the old beggar man's eyes, and his cloudy eyes turned to Lin Fan.
Lin Fan was cold from head to toe, and at that moment he felt that he couldn't move.
"Who the hell are you?" Lin Fan wondered, his eyes looking at the old beggar. He was not taboo, because Lin Fan knew that if this beggar old man really could move him, he would have died a long time ago.
The old beggar didn't answer Lin Fan's words, but just looked at Lin Fan muttering a few ancient and obscure sentences.
The words spoken by the old man seemed to be an extremely ancient language, and there were individual words that matched today's words, but Lin Fan was not proficient in the history of the Great Wilderness of Kyushu and could not understand what the old man said.
"The blood of the three graves is like a river, and the sky is falling apart," the old man glanced at Lin Fan, and suddenly said jerkily in today's language.
Lin Fan's heart was shocked, "Three Graves" was his biggest secret, but he didn't expect to be seen through by this beggar old man at a glance, as for what the beggar old man said "blood flowed like a river" and "the sky fell apart" represented, Lin Fan didn't know.
"Do you know the secret of the 'Three Tombs' of the Dao?" do you know the stone gate of the Dao?" Lin Fan asked eagerly, he was eager to know the answer.
"Don't ask me! don't ask me!" said the old beggar with his head in his hands, his eyes already blood-red, as if he had fallen into a state of madness.
Lin Fan was taken aback! He felt that the old beggar had turned into a terrifying beast at this moment, and that breath could destroy people.
Lin Fan was covered in cold sweat, he looked around and found that the people around him were not aware of anything abnormal.
At this time, the old beggar suddenly got up, limped into the crowd, and walked into the crowd in three or two steps.
Lin Fan hurriedly chased after him, but he immediately found that he couldn't catch up with the beggar old man who seemed to be walking very slowly.
During this period, the old beggar passed by several people dressed as immortal cultivators many times, but those people did not notice it at all.
In this way, Lin Fan saw the beggar old man limp and disappear at the end of the street.
Lin Fan stomped his foot in annoyance, he felt that the old man must know something.
In the following days, Lin Fan did not find the old beggar in the town, perhaps Lin Fan passed by the old beggar many times but did not find it, which is unknown.
