Chapter 167 Old Beggar

Chapter 167 Old Beggar
Chen Shi had a bad impression of Monk Wuchen at all. This monk was very worldly and snobbish. He was very polite to Li Tianqing, who came from a noble family, but ignored ordinary people.

However, Monk Wu Chen rescued him in a critical moment to repay his kindness, which made Chen Shi see another side of Wu Chen besides his snobbery.

"It is for a husband to distinguish between gratitude and resentment."

Chen Shi secretly praised and picked up the bottom of the bowl on the ground. There was still a little water at the bottom of the bowl, barely covering the bottom.

"Grandma Minjiang, I'll take you away."

Chen Shi held the broken bowl in his hand and left the place quietly.

After he left, many border army soldiers hurried over. They were shocked to see corpses everywhere. When they saw the body of Lieutenant General Xia Luoying, they were even more shocked.

In addition to being a lieutenant general, Xia Luoying was also the son of General Xia Chuli. If he died here, General Xia would probably be furious!
What’s even worse is that Grandma Minjiang has disappeared!

This is the food ration for the Thirteenth Family!

If we capture Grandma Minjiang, the Thirteen Families can have enough to eat for many days!

If we lose Grandma Minjiang, those masters will probably be furious and many people will die!

After a while, the guerrilla general, the garrison commander, the captain and others hurried here. Most of them were from the Xia family. When they saw Xia Luoying's body on the ground, they couldn't help but get furious: "Who did it?"

No one said anything.

The Tongpan, Tuiguan, and Zhishi of Gongzhou Prefecture also hurried over. They were shocked when they saw this and dared not speak.

"Report to the general immediately!" The guerrilla general turned and left.

General Xia was having a banquet. Everyone was urging him to drink and talking and laughing. The guerrilla general came hurriedly and whispered a few words in his ear. General Xia's face suddenly changed. He didn't care about etiquette and hurriedly got up and left.

Seeing this, the other adults at the banquet put down their glasses and followed.

Everyone came to Xia Luoying's body with gloomy faces.

"The Golden Light Mantra of Mahavairocana!"

General Xia checked Xia Luoying's body, slowly stood up, looked in the direction of Daxing Zen Temple, and said in a deep voice, "The method of Dabaoguo Temple is the most advanced golden body method in the world."

Everyone was horrified. Master Kuzhu had turned into a demon. Could he have run out of the temple and killed people?
"If it's bitter bamboo, why bother doing it?"

They thought, "If Kuzhu glances at us, Xia Luoying will probably turn into a mushroom."

"Without Grandma Minjiang, what will we eat in the next few days?"

Governor Yan frowned slightly, wondering how many days the Goddess of Red Mountain could feed the Thirteen Families, when he suddenly saw several soldiers scratching their heads frantically, as if their scalps were itchy.

When Governor Yan saw them scratching their heads, he also felt his scalp itchy.

Suddenly, there was a popping sound coming from the heads of those soldiers, and a series of small mushrooms actually emerged from their heads!

The soldiers screamed and rushed to pull out the mushrooms, but they also tore off a piece of their scalp, which was bleeding profusely.

“They’re infected!”

Zhang Xun'an exclaimed, and without saying anything, he slapped out with his palm. Fire spurted out of his palm, turning those soldiers into ashes!
Governor Yan felt an unbearable itch on his head, but he resisted the urge to scratch it and said, "Lord Xia, I'm sorry. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first!"

He left in a hurry, and when he reached the corner, he scratched his head and actually caught a small mushroom!

Governor Yan's face changed slightly and he quietly pulled out the mushroom.

At this time, there was a commotion coming from the Minjiang River. Governor Yan walked over and saw that it was the border troops chasing those people with mushrooms growing on their heads.

Governor Yan's heart was pounding. He thought, "I'm infected. Are other adults not infected? Maybe they were also infected, but secretly pulled out the mushrooms on their heads!"

He returned to Yan's Mansion, walked into the corridor, turned a corner, and heard sobbing. He saw several servants and maids kneeling on the ground outside Yan's Mansion. In front of them was a big pit with a pile of soil next to it, and there were people supervising the execution.

"What's going on?" Governor Yan asked.

The steward quickly replied, "Master, several of them have been infected and mushrooms have grown on their heads. The eldest lady said they should be beheaded to prevent them from infecting others."

With just one order, the heads of these servants and maids fell into the pit, and their bodies fell forward and also fell into the pit.

The manager waved his hand and pushed the soil into the pit to bury the body.

Governor Yan had a solemn expression on his face. He went back to the backyard to see the first lady, who was dressing up. Governor Yan took a look through the window. The lady was still charming. Facing the mirror, she quietly pulled out a tiny mushroom from her hair.

Governor Yan coughed, and the eldest lady hurriedly threw the mushroom into the corner and said with a smile: "The master is back?"

"Yes, I'm back."

Governor Yan smiled and greeted his wife.

“Will someone pick the mushrooms off the head and fry them?”

An idea suddenly popped up in his mind, "I wonder if it's poisonous? If I eat mushrooms that I grow myself, can I survive if I produce and eat them myself?"

The sixteenth day of the demonic transformation.

Even a great master like Governor Yan, who was at the level of God's Descent, was affected by the demonic transformation and was showing signs of turning into a mushroom.

On the other side, Chen Shi was holding a broken bowl and rushing towards Hongshan Hall, avoiding all kinds of mushrooms of different sizes along the way. Only when he was about to arrive at Hongshan Hall did he relax and slow down his pace.

At this moment, a lazy voice came into his ears: "Master, please be kind and give me some alms."

Chen Shi looked over in surprise, and saw an old beggar sitting on the stone steps of the left doorway, leaning against the door, holding a broken bowl in one hand and a stick for chasing dogs in the other. He shook the broken bowl at Chen Shi and shouted, "I've been hungry for many years. Master, please give me a bowl of soup."

Chen Shi also held a broken bowl in his hand.

The old beggar looked at his broken bowl, which was even more broken than his own, and was surprised. He smiled and said, "Are you Chen Shi? Old beggar, please ask Master Chen for some alms."

Chen Shi became alert. He held up the broken bowl and pointed his index finger at the gluttonous pattern on the bottom of the bowl, saying, "Senior, do you recognize me? I wonder what you want to ask for?"

His index finger was pressed on the big mouth of the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Talisman. He could wipe off the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Talisman at any time and release the Minshan Grandma.

The old beggar shook the broken bowl and said with a smile, "I want to ask for Master Chen!"

Chen Shi only felt that the world around him was shaking along with the old beggar's broken bowl. His face suddenly changed and he immediately wiped out the big mouth of the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Talisman. In the broken bowl in his hand, a huge amount of water swirled and roared out. Grandma Minjiang sat on the swirling water and swung her crutch to hit the old beggar's head hard!
"Shh!"

Grandma Minjiang disappeared, and Chen Shi saw himself sitting on the head of a big black fish. Next to him was Grandma Minjiang, an old woman with a white cloth wrapped around her head, who was leaning on a crutch.

The big fish had the body of a black carp and the head of a dragon. It was swimming in the sea. The waves were very rapid all around it, one after another. The waves hit the black carp, making the big carp dragon unstable.

Chen Shi looked around and saw that the sea was endless with no end in sight.

At this time, a huge face appeared in the sky, spreading the clouds in the sky in all directions. It was the face of the old beggar.

"He was able to be refined by water and fire, and resurrected from the dead. Wuhu Sanren is indeed amazing!" The old beggar looked at Chen Shi on the sea, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "I have searched everywhere for something, but now I have found it without any effort. I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain in this magic transformation!"

Chen Shi's heart sank, and he said loudly: "Senior, are you a lone ranger? I am also a lone ranger, we are all lone rangers, how can you attack your fellow Taoists?"

The old beggar laughed and said, "A wanderer only seeks the great way, without any restraints. Anyone can be a fellow traveler, but no one is a fellow traveler."

At this time, a dog barked.

The old beggar was surprised to see a black dog rushing out from Hongshan Hall and barking fiercely at him.

"This dog... is amazing. It actually tried to change my perception!"

The old beggar was very surprised. He looked at the black pot and praised, "I haven't eaten dog meat for a long time. I'll have a good meal tonight."

Yu Tiancheng, Li Tianqing, Lu Xiangzhu, Xiao Xiangzhu and a group of talisman masters and coaches rushed out of Hongshan Hall, ready to meet Chen Shi. Everyone was surprised to see Hei Guo barking at the old beggar.

The old beggar didn't care. He shook the bamboo stick he used to chase dogs and pushed the black pot aside. He smiled and held out his broken bowl, saying, "Gentlemen, please give me something to eat!"

Li Tianqing said: "Please wait a moment, old man!"

He hurried back to Hongshan Hall, cut a piece of fish and put it in the bowl.

The old beggar glanced at him in surprise and said with a smile, "You are a good person. Considering your kindness, I will spare your lives."

He walked towards the Daxing Zen Temple and said leisurely, "I will collect the corpse-reincarnating immortal from Shuihuo Danglian and study the secret of immortality. When the other wanderers get rid of this demon, I will have a lot to talk about at this gathering of wanderers!"

Black Pot rushed forward and bit the old beggar's trouser leg. The old beggar flicked it with his bamboo stick, and Black Pot screamed and fell a few feet away.

Li Tianqing and the others rushed forward immediately upon seeing this. The majestic rabbit transformed by Yu Tiancheng rushed to the front, with the Goddess of Red Mountain standing on his shoulders. The little girl in red shouted, "Kill that stinky beggar!"

The old beggar laughed and said, "So you guys don't know how to appreciate my kindness."

After saying that, he shook the broken bowl, and everyone felt dizzy and fell into the water with a splash.

Chen Shi stood on top of the Minjiang Grandma's body and looked up at the sky. He saw human figures falling from the sky and into the sea. He hurriedly urged the big fish to swim quickly to the crowd and rescue them.

Everyone was shocked and confused.

Li Tianqing said loudly: "Senior, I am also a lone warrior. We are all fellow warriors, why don't you show some mercy?"

Chen Shi interrupted him and shook his head, saying, "When a free man does things, he doesn't care about good or evil, he just follows his heart. All worldly morals, ethics, and integrity cannot restrain him."

The old beggar's voice came, laughing: "Chen Shi, you are right. Good and evil, right and wrong, etiquette and morality are just constraints imposed on the strong by the world. We, the scattered people, have always been free and pursue the great way of freedom. How could we be bound by these things?"

Everyone was helpless.

The old beggar was holding a broken bowl, leaning on a bamboo stick, and walking towards the Daxing Zen Temple with a smile on his face. When he reached the corner of the street, he bumped into an old woman head-on.

The old woman staggered after being knocked by him and laughed, "It takes a lot of strength to beg for food."

The old beggar's soul was also shaken by the impact. With a whoosh, his soul broke out of his body and was knocked out of Gongzhou City!

The old beggar was startled, his body was empty, and he saw the old woman clearly. He exclaimed in surprise: "It turned out to be Old Lady Sha! We are both wanderers, why are you plotting against me?"

He knew that although the old woman's cultivation was not high, her attainments in the soul were extremely high. She had taken the initiative on him and knocked his soul away. It was difficult for him to fight her with his physical body alone, so he immediately tried to delay time.

His soul was shaken, he steadied his body, and flew back immediately!

At this moment, the nine-tailed fox in front of him danced gently towards the sky. The old beggar's soul immediately fell into the sky, and layer upon layer of heaven and earth unfolded before him!

The old beggar's soul flew thousands of miles in an instant, but he was unable to escape from the Ninth Heaven.

"Old woman, you have help!"

The old beggar immediately shook the broken bowl, but just as the bowl was shaking, before he could put Granny Sha into the bowl, a green sheep taller than a man suddenly rushed over from the side, and its two sharp horns hit the old beggar's back.

The old beggar was knocked flying. While in mid-air, he looked back and saw the green goat running wildly in the air, actually catching up with him. With its two horns, it scooped up his body and threw him into the sky!

His heart skipped a beat: "It was the two bad brothers from Wuhu Sanren who plotted against me!"

Granny Sha caught the falling broken bowl and carefully placed it flat to prevent it from breaking.

Qingyang and the bearded man came forward and looked into the bowl. Granny Sha hurriedly tapped them on the head, signaling them to be quiet.

The three of them retreated quietly.

Granny Sha waved her hand from a distance, and the broken bowl suddenly turned over, with a pool of clear water flowing out of the bowl.

In the bowl, Chen Shi and others suddenly felt that the sea was pouring out, and the sea water was flowing out madly. Minjiang Grandma could not keep her balance and poured out with the surging sea water.

In a flash, everyone's eyes saw the roaring sea water suddenly dry up, and everyone, along with a large black carp dragon, appeared on the street, slid for dozens of feet before finally stopping.

Everyone was shocked and confused.

The big rabbit that Yu Tiancheng transformed into jumped up and kicked the broken bowl away. The broken bowl made a clanging sound, but it was still intact and not broken.

Suddenly the broken bowl flew up and disappeared without a trace.

Chen Shi quickly got up, rushed to the house nearby, found a porcelain bowl, quickly drew the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Talisman, took a bowl of water, and looked at Minjiang Grandma.

Grandma Minjiang was lying on the ground, unable to breathe, with her big mouth, and was about to suffocate. When he put her into the bowl, she immediately turned into a small black fish swimming back and forth.

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Hei Guo came close to him and called out twice. Chen Shi nodded gently and whispered, "It should be Granny Sha who did it. I heard the beggar call Granny Sha. It's strange. Granny Sha is not my godmother, so why did she follow me to Gongzhou?"

He was quite confused.

"However, the gathering of the scattered people is coming soon. This old beggar is a scattered person. I am afraid that there are other scattered people in the city. They may not be able to bear it and attack the demon."

Chen Shi breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "The Demon Realm will definitely be destroyed. All we have to do is survive before it is destroyed. But..."

He was a little confused. Why did these random people not look like good people?
"Isn't grandpa a good person either?" he thought to himself.

The old beggar rolled in the air and crashed into a mushroom jungle.

At this time, the nine heavens dissipated, and his soul rushed in and sank into his body.

The old beggar stood up, his hands empty, and angrily said, "Where's my bowl? You bastard, you even stole my bowl!"

In front of him, a golden Buddha stood up, with a huge mushroom-shaped cap on its head, looking down at him. Suddenly, there was a popping sound underneath the cap, and eyes grew out, looking down at him.

The old beggar swallowed his saliva, his Adam's apple rolling with difficulty, and muttered: "I originally wanted other independent people to deal with this demon, but the damn old woman and the brothers of the Five Lakes Independent People plotted against me, wanting me to fight this demon to the death... Brother, I was knocked here by someone..."

The golden Buddha raised his big foot and stomped heavily on him, his voice shaking: "...Foolish sentient beings, why don't we ascend to paradise together?"
