The sword rises

Chapter 445
Chapter 440 Five Beggar Old Man
For such a strong person, they all have their own arrogance. Therefore, in order for the living dead to come forward at that time, it is natural to promise some benefits.

Gu Hengsheng believed that, no matter whether the living dead believed it or not, he would definitely come out of the mountain.Because, he would never give up the opportunity to step into the Profound Sky Realm.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Hengsheng began to look for strong men one after another.

These powerhouses are all real powerhouses in the sense of a hundred kingdoms, and they are definitely not comparable to the elders of the dynasty.People like the living dead have already stepped into the Profound Sky Realm with one foot.

And the help that Gu Hengsheng was looking for was someone who was infinitely close to the Sky Profound Realm.As for some powerhouses at the peak of the Earth Profound Realm, Gu Hengsheng didn't even bother to look for them, because he only wanted a small number of top powerhouses to be born.

A few days later, Gu Hengsheng came to the city streets of a dynasty.

On this street, there are many people coming and going, and it seems relatively lively.

At one corner of the street, a filthy beggar was lying next to a garbage dump.Occasionally, two passers-by would look at the beggar's pitiful appearance and throw a few copper coins.

Ding dong dong...

Gu Hengsheng used his magical powers to cover his face, so that the world could not see his appearance.Then Gu Hengsheng walked slowly to the corner of the street, took out a copper plate and threw it into the beggar's tattered bowl.

The copper plate bounced and rolled in the bowl, making a crisp sound, and stopped after a long time.

"How about a favor, please?"

Gu Hengsheng's soul injury has completely recovered, and he can feel the aura of the real strong hidden everywhere in the land of a hundred countries.The old beggar in front of him, Gu Hengsheng couldn't see through his cultivation, but he could know his extraordinary.

The beggar old man was ragged, exuding a foul smell, his messy hair was knotted, and looked extremely sloppy.

The old beggar did not respond to Gu Hengsheng's words, leaning against the corner of the wall next to the garbage dump like a log.

"The great world is approaching, and the wind and rain are about to come. The road ahead of the Hundred Kingdoms is full of thorns, and we need your help."

After being silent for a while, Gu Hengsheng continued to talk to the beggar old man.

For a long time, the beggar old man was still dumbfounded and motionless, as if he couldn't hear Gu Hengsheng's words at all.

"Young master, this beggar is a dumb and deaf man. He has been begging here for several years and has never spoken. Don't waste your efforts."

Seeing this, the vendor at the side looked at Gu Hengsheng kindly and reminded him.

The pedestrians around and the guests of the nearby tavern slowly turned their attention to Gu Hengsheng and the beggar old man.

Gu Hengsheng ignored the reminder from the vendor boy, and stood there quietly looking at the beggar old man, letting countless eyes stare at him, unmoved.

As time slowly passed, two days passed quickly.

In the past two days, Gu Hengsheng did not move half a step, and waited here quietly, as if waiting for an answer.

For a moment, Gu Hengsheng and the beggar old man became the focus of the whole city, causing countless people to watch and discuss after hearing the news.

"Is this man a fool? He has been standing here for two days and two nights without moving. Isn't he tired? And this half-dead old beggar hasn't moved either."

Passers-by looked at Gu Hengsheng and the beggar old man, pointing and muttering.

"This man seems to have an unusual temperament. He must be a son of a big family, or someone who has practiced. But why is he standing next to an old beggar?"

"This old beggar has been with us for more than five years. He used to take the begging money to buy pots of bad wine on the street every day. Why have he remained motionless with that man these two days?"

"These two people are not fools, are they! Strangely tight?"

Almost everyone in the city was discussing this matter, and the silent confrontation between Gu Hengsheng and the old beggar became a hot topic, and became a topic of conversation among the people in the city after dinner.

Today, dusk is gradually falling, and the slow down makes some people breathless.

In the corner of a street in a certain imperial city, a copper coin lay quietly in a tattered bowl.Under the rays of the setting sun, the copper coins reflected a halo, which reflected in the eyes of the beggar old man.

"I..." The beggar old man who kept his head down, finally raised his head slowly, and looked at Gu Hengsheng: "I'm just a remnant of an era, you should leave!"

The pupils of the old beggar's eyes were as hollow as a deep hole, as if he had experienced countless tempering and saw through everything.

When the old beggar spoke, the passers-by and those watching were shocked and exclaimed: "The old beggar has spoken! My God! He hasn't spoken in this corner for five years, and he can speak today!"

For a moment, many people in the city showed rather shocked expressions, watching this scene.

"This copper coin is considered a reward. Please give me a hand." The moment the old beggar opened his mouth, Gu Hengsheng strengthened his belief in asking him to come out of the mountain.

Because, when the old man raised his eyes and spoke, Gu Hengsheng could feel a strong sense of danger permeating his whole body, which was a sense of crisis from the depths of his soul.

The origin of the old beggar is probably not simple, and his cultivation is unfathomable.

"I know that a strong person like you has already seen through everything and doesn't care about worldly things. However, you probably won't make a move at will. This copper coin is the reward given by me or the people in the world. Let you have a shot reason."

Gu Hengsheng continued solemnly.

"You don't belong to the land of a hundred kingdoms, why should you?" After a while, the old beggar slowly spoke in a hoarse and deep voice.

"Here are the places and people I want to protect." Gu Hengsheng replied without the slightest hesitation.

"However, there is no place or person I want to protect here anymore."

The beggar old man revealed a breath of vicissitudes and emptiness, and closed his eyes and said calmly.

Hearing the sound, Gu Hengsheng fell silent.

The beggar old man does not know how long he has lived. His old relatives have long since died, and his former residence has changed.He remained in the world, just wanting to keep a vague memory in his heart.

"At least, there is still a memory in your heart that is the land of the Hundred Kingdoms. If you want to take a look at the scenery of the Hundred Kingdoms again, but find that the Hundred Kingdoms are no longer there, will you regret it?"

Gu Hengsheng stared at the sunken and deep pupils of the beggar old man, and said softly.

The wind blew up gently, rolled up the corners of Gu Hengsheng's white shirt, and blew away the messy hair from the old beggar's eyes.

The old beggar slowly stood up from the corner, bent down and took the copper plate in the broken bowl in his hand, then looked up at the sky and the vast land.

"Your Majesty's reward, I'll take it." The beggar old man seemed to agree with Gu Hengsheng's words, leaving behind a long hunched figure, and walked towards the end of the street step by step.

Gu Hengsheng slowly showed a smile, and cupped his hands at the fading figure of the old beggar.
