Moon Emperor

Chapter 161 The old beggar

"At the beginning, it seemed that a certain elder from Tianwen sent him to the subordinate sect to ask for a hundred fresh monk heads. The minimum requirement is to establish a foundation. The higher the level of cultivation, the better."

"Then I don't know which sect or organization took over this task. In short, Tong Huazong has become one of their targets."

"A small sect that is not much stronger than the group of casual cultivators. There is no backer behind it, and its strength is low. It can kill the sect in one go. As long as its hands and feet are clean, outsiders will have no way to investigate."

"It's a pity that their gang was still too sloppy. They missed me, a little fish, and hurriedly sent people out to finish it afterwards."

"Because I have a life-saving magic weapon brought by my grandfather from the Wuming Taoist temple, I was able to escape last time."

"Now that magic weapon has been destroyed, I thought I would die today, but I didn't expect to be lucky enough to be helped by my benefactor."

Duan Yan wanted to stand up and salute, but Su Yan pressed his shoulders and pushed him back.

"Don't worry about these things at this time, but I didn't expect that the demons and heretics in this world are all so rampant now?"

Duan Yan probably also noticed that this young hero must have just walked down the mountain not long ago, so he sighed.

"Actually, these years have been considered good. Decades ago, when the North and the South were fighting and the world was in chaos, not to mention evil sects and demon ways stirring up the wind and rain, even all kinds of monsters and ghosts dared to appear to cause harm to the world."

"I only hate that my Tonghua Sect is not strong enough, and I didn't actively cling to the major sects like other small sects. I thought that if I kept a low profile, nothing would happen. Otherwise, how could this group of people dare to be so arrogant?"

Su Yan thought for a while, "If the orthodox sects know about this kind of thing, will they care?"

Duan Yan nodded and shook her head again, "If we are their affiliated sect, or if this incident happened near their sect, they will take care of it; the rest of the situation can't be taken care of, there are too many injustices in the world."

Su Yan pondered for a while, finally nodded and said, "Then what are you going to do in the future?"

Duan Yan looked gloomy, "I plan to go to Kunlun to find the nameless Taoist temple where my grandfather used to practice."

"We, Tonghua Sect, can be regarded as a branch of their lineage. If the Taoist temple is passed down to this day, they should give me a helping hand."

"Then let's go, I'm going to continue on my way." Su Yan said and put a few bottles of pills on the ground, which were all found from the corpses just now.

Duan Yan clasped her fists again, "Dare to ask your benefactor Gao's name? I will always remember it in my heart."

He never thought of asking this young hero to help him avenge him. He is not related to him, and he would be benevolent enough to save his life. How could he force the other party to be an enemy of such a powerful force as the Tianwen faction.

Su Yan waved his hand, "We met by chance, and there is a high probability that we will never meet again in the future. What's the point of knowing my name?"

Duan Yan was momentarily at a loss for words, and could only watch the back of the young man wearing green clothes and carrying a sword box walk away step by step.

Taking a deep breath, he stood up after barely regaining some strength. He must leave this place as soon as possible, lest he be chased by new pursuers.

Su Yan stopped and stopped along the way, most of the time he only walked along the official road, and would rather take a few more steps than take any shortcuts.

This is not because he is afraid of being killed halfway, but because he is worried that he will get lost
In fact, this is a very serious question. The maps that can be bought on the road are quite simple. Although Su Yan is a monk, it is not a problem to distinguish the north, south, east, west, and north.

Every town, village, and resting point on the road cannot be specifically determined.

Every time at this time, Su Yan especially misses the "map of wickedness" in his previous life, even if there is at least a coordinate for the wickedness.

Except for a small accident on the first day on the road, in the next five or six days, Su Yan's journey was quite relaxed and comfortable.

Anyway, he seems to be traveling, whenever he arrives in a new town, the first thing to do is to find food, especially local street food and specialty products.

It was relatively early today, and Su Yan arrived at a county called [Lanfang County] before noon.

The Great Chu Dynasty currently adopts a three-level system of prefectures, counties and counties. Although the county seat is the smallest administrative division, it is still much more lively than ordinary villages.

As the flow of people entered the city gate, the sounds of yelling and carts on the road, the row upon row of signboards on both sides of the street, and the aroma from teahouses and restaurants all made Su Yan feel a strong breath of life.

Like a country boy who has never seen the world, he is interested in everything.

As soon as he entered the city, Su Yan usually went to find something to eat, but he glanced casually, and suddenly found an old white-haired beggar sitting in the corner not far from the city gate.

He was wearing tattered linen clothes, looked at least seventy years old, his eyes were cloudy and lifeless, he was holding a bamboo stick in his right hand, and there was a broken bowl in front of him.

Most importantly, there are two ancient books next to the broken bowl!
This made Su Yan couldn't help but get excited. Is it finally my turn to miss this kind of legendary protagonist treatment? !

He didn't approach in a hurry, but secretly observed the old beggar for a while.

The other party seemed to be blind, and he looked like an ordinary person. Anyway, Su Yan didn't feel any special aura from him, and he didn't respond to his secret prying.

After seeing that no one was paying attention to the old beggar, Su Yan walked forward nonchalantly, pretending to be curious, and looked at the two books on the ground.

They were all thread-bound books, the pages were yellowed, and even the edges were turned a little tattered. Those who didn’t know thought they were picked up from some garbage dump.

On the cover pages of these two books, one says "Looking at the Qi Technique" and the other says "The Technique in the Room".

Su Yan stopped walking when he saw it. He was really curious. He squatted in front of the beggar and asked, "Old man, is this book yours?"

The old beggar sighed, grabbed the bamboo stick and tapped the ground, and said in a strong dialect accent, "It's all handed down from the ancestors, and I'm about to starve to death. There's no way, which one do you want?"

"I want them all." Su Yan said as he wanted to pick up the two books and flip through them, but the trembling bamboo stick was precisely in front of his fingers.

The old beggar shook his head blankly, "Only sell one copy."

This made Su Yan feel that the other party was a bit unfathomable. After thinking for a while, he walked around the bamboo stick with his right hand and reached for the book "Fang Zhong Shu", "Of course."

At the moment when his finger was about to completely touch the cover, Su Yan suddenly changed direction and slapped his hand on "Looking Qi Technique", "This book!"

"How much?" he asked.

The old beggar stretched out two dirty hands like chicken feet, and made a "ten" gesture.

"Twelve taels?" Su Yan asked tentatively.

This answer obviously stunned the old beggar for a moment, then he nodded repeatedly, and even quickly picked up the "Looking Qi Technique" and stuffed it into Su Yan's hands desperately, as if he was afraid that this guy would not want it.

Now it was Su Yan's turn to be stunned.

　PS: In the past two days, the smart push from the starting point seems to have given a little amount, and the order has increased a little, to more than 200.

　　If there are new readers here, can you tell me where in the app you saw this book.
