A sudden sound sounded in the darkness not far away.
"who?!"
Zhang Xiaozhu and Ye Mingyue were both startled. To be precise, they should be horrified.
Although it is night now, and the night has blocked their sight, for the two of them, covered by their spiritual consciousness, the entire valley, and even the mountains around the valley, are as bright as day, and the ants on the mountains can be clearly seen. Chu.
But under such a "bright" view, this person quietly approached them like a ghost, and judging from the meaning of the other person's words, he had been there for a long time watching Zhang Xiaozu refining alchemy.
It can be seen that this person is very powerful, at least his concealment skills are very good.
"Don't get excited, I'm an old beggar."
"I happened to be passing by here and saw this little friend refining elixirs with nothing to do. He stopped to take a look at the excitement, thinking he could learn something from it, but who knows? …”
"Haha, just don't say it."
Accompanied by the sound, a sloppy old beggar walked out of the darkness.
Zhang Xiaozu took two steps forward to meet Ye Mingyue, blocking Ye Mingyue behind him. He was secretly wary and took a quick look at the old beggar. He found that although the old beggar was a bit slovenly, he had a kind face and a friendly smile, and did not look like a bad person.
He hurriedly raised his hands in salute, and said with a blush on his cheeks: "This junior has just learned how to make alchemy, and his poor skills make the seniors laugh."
"Have you just learned?" the old beggar asked.
"Well, I just learned."
"If you have just learned it, then your talent is indeed pretty good. You don't know that I have seen a guy who just learned alchemy before. With a bang, the alchemy furnace took off from the spot and lifted the roof of the house into the sky. .”
"Ahem..." Zhang Xiaozu was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, thinking that the old beggar was talking about him.
In fact, that was not the case. The person the old beggar was talking about was his second senior brother Fufeng.
Ye Mingyue couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
Zhang Xiaozu calmed down his awkward mood, looked at the old beggar expectantly and asked: "The old man seems to be quite accomplished in alchemy. I wonder if the younger generation is lucky enough to be favored by the old man. He can give some advice casually, so that the younger generation can benefit from it throughout his life." ?”
The old beggar touched his belly and said, "It's not impossible to teach you a few tips on how to make alchemy, but I've been traveling for a long time and I'm a little hungry, so I don't have the strength to speak anymore."
"Little things." Zhang Xiaozhu was overjoyed, and quickly took out the table and table from the empty space, and placed some watery fruits and delicacies on them.
He thoughtfully reheated some cold meat and dishes with Taoist real fire.
"It would be nice if I had some wine to drive away the cold." The old beggar said again.
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Xiaozu immediately took out the best wine and filled the old beggar's glass.
The old beggar sat down on the couch with a carefree attitude, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and said, "There are not many cultivators nowadays who can enjoy life as well as you. They all find it hard to eat." There are filth and impurities, which will affect the body if eaten in the stomach, so most of them take elixirs to fill their stomachs, and their lives are really boring."
"The junior's greed for words makes the seniors laugh." Zhang Xiaozhu smiled and touched his nose. He never thought that his gluttony in eating and drinking could be praised by his seniors.
When he, Zhou Jianlai and others were together, they would have a few drinks when they had nothing to do, so their empty space was always equipped with tables, chairs, wine and food.
Seeing the old beggar eating meat and drinking wine informally, free and easy, Zhang Xiaozhu felt that this was the aura that a Jianghu person should have. The kind of cultivator who was aloof and looked down on all living beings from the clouds could not be called a Jianghu person.
As a result, Zhang Xiaozhu's affection for the old man doubled.
After half an hour, the old beggar finally had enough to eat and drink. He held his full belly with both hands and sighed: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so comfortably. It still tastes so familiar. It's so good. Haha, little friend. What a joke."
The familiar taste he mentioned was the taste of Jiuzhou Continent.
Zhang Xiaozu didn't understand the meaning of the old beggar's words. He just thought that he hadn't eaten so much for a long time and immediately smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of seniors' jokes. I eat more when I'm hungry."
】
The old beggar smiled, walked towards the alchemy furnace with his belly in his hands, and said: "You can eat people with short mouths. I will teach you a few tricks to ensure that you will benefit from them all your life. You have all those elixirs and spiritual materials. Take them out and take a look. I will choose I will refine a relatively representative elixir for you to see."
Zhang Xiaozu was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly took out all the elixirs and ingredients and spread them out on the grass.
"Hey, I didn't notice it, but you are quite rich." The old beggar looked at the elixirs and materials displayed by Zhang Xiaopou and said in surprise. Then he raised his hand and swept all the elixirs and materials into his own void space. .
Then he held up the alchemy furnace with one hand.
Zhang Xiaozhu and Ye Mingyue walked in one direction under the stunned gazes.
He walked faster and faster, and finally kicked off his legs and started running.
"Senior, where are you going?" Zhang Xiaozu asked in confusion.
The old beggar ran faster when he heard this.
"Hurry up!"
"This old guy is a liar!"
Ye Mingyue exclaimed.
"Fuck him!"
Only then did Zhang Xiaozu react, and hurriedly called Ye Mingyue into the Painting of the Three Realms, and then hurriedly chased after him.
The two Zhang Xiaoping who were practicing under the cliff opened their eyes at the same time and chased after them together.
Roar!
The white tiger, who was playing in the direction of the old beggar's escape, received Zhang Xiaozu's mental instructions and intercepted the old beggar from the front.
"Old senior, I wasted my trust in you. I served you food and drink. You actually...repaid kindness with hatred and robbed me of my things."
“What about trust between people?”
Zhang Xiaozu asked indignantly while chasing.
One moment he was very kind and respectful to the old beggar, but the next moment the old beggar took advantage of his trust and took away his elixir and spiritual materials. Dan Lu ran away, making him feel that his soul was deeply hurt.
"Ah ha ha…"
"Every time you suffer, you gain wisdom. I will teach you a lesson today. You will not suffer such a loss again in the future, and you will benefit from it throughout your life."
"Boy, thank me properly."
Instead of feeling guilty, the old beggar smiled arrogantly.
"Senior, please put down this junior's things. This junior will just pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise...don't blame this junior for being rude!" Zhang Xiaozhu warned.
"Oh, that's a nice thought."
"You've already eaten it in your stomach, why should you vomit it out?"
The old beggar sneered.
"Old man, if you don't eat the toast, you'll be fined with alcohol!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaozu could no longer hold back and started scolding him directly.
"Little one, if you dare to chase me again, do you believe I will slap you back into your mother's womb?" the old beggar scolded back.
Roar!
The white tiger suddenly jumped out from the top of a mountain, just in time to stop the old beggar.
“A good dog stays out of the way!”
The old beggar held the alchemy furnace in his right hand and punched the white tiger with his left hand.
boom!
The fist was so fast that it avoided the white tiger's claws and hit the white tiger's head.
Bai Hu's head sank, unable to withstand the old beggar's fist, his body spun and fell to the ground, and fell on the top of the mountain with a bang.
As quickly as you come, you can return as quickly as you come.
However, Bai Hu's momentary obstruction allowed Zhang Xiaopeng to catch up.
Three little Zhang soldiers immediately surrounded the old beggar.
