Old Man's Begging Stick

Autumn rain is pattering, not as wanton as the summer storm, but it has a unique dense and sticky feeling.The leaves were wetted by the autumn rain, dripping water droplets.

The drizzle wet Ah Heng's clothes and fell on his withered face.To be honest, Ah Heng didn't like the feeling of rain falling on his body, it was cold and damp, as if it wanted to penetrate his skin into his bones.It is not convenient to open an umbrella in the woods, and besides, Ah Heng has no umbrella to use.

The whimpering of the beast became more and more clear, and Ah Heng stumbled along the sound and walked over.The forest is slippery, and the moss on the stone is wet by the rain. If you are not careful, you will fall and eat shit.

He has been busy rebuilding the dilapidated temple for the past few days. He had been busy and didn't feel much at first, but he just took a rest, and he felt his bones were creaking.It sounded too eerie to be alive.

Speaking of the topic of living beings, when he was fighting against Tianhuan that day, Ah Heng clearly heard his own heartbeat, but unfortunately there was only one sound, and then he couldn't feel it anymore.Ah Heng felt that he was probably a living dead.

"Hmm..." Ah Heng looked at a towering giant tree strangely. Why hadn't he seen such a big tree in the woods before? .The sound of the beast was very close, Ah Heng carefully stepped over the roots of the trees hovering on the ground, and pushed aside the dense weeds between the roots with a begging stick.

After the begging stick pushed aside a cluster of wild dendrobium, a cave was revealed under the dendrobium.There was still a faint light in the cave, and the whimpering sound of the beast came from the depths of the cave.

Ah Heng stood in front of the cave, and there was always a thought in his mind asking him to go in, and the beast inside would become his apprentice.Ah Heng hesitated for a long time, and finally bent down and got in.He never expected anything like an apprentice, he just thought that the beast inside should be the leopard he had seen twice before.

In the rainy night, the low whimper of the beast seemed to be crying.It is very good at finding places. Its nest is under a giant tree. It is not easy to find the nest among the twisted plant roots, and there are some vegetation growing at the entrance, which makes it even more difficult to find.If Ah Heng hadn't been looking for the sound, he might have missed the entrance of the cave.

After Ah Heng drilled into the hole, he found that the hole was unexpectedly large, and there was a night pearl lighting in the hole, making the whole cave as bright as day.The cave is warm and dry, surrounded by aura full of aura.If it wasn't for the strong smell of blood in the cave, Ah Heng felt that this place would be a blessed place.

The beast was lying on a piece of ground in the cave covered with animal skins. It rolled over in pain on the animal skins. The tree roots around it looked like they had been blasted, revealing their white insides.

Ah Heng almost walked up to it, but it didn't even notice.It was struggling violently, as if it wanted to stand up, but after struggling for a long time, it could only fall heavily.

The whimpering sound like weeping came from the leopard.The originally huge monster was now only shrunk to the size of a normal leopard.It may be shrinking for the convenience of drilling into the cave, or it may be that shrinking the body can reduce the consumption of spiritual energy.

The cave was just under the giant log, with several flats between the twisted roots.A Heng carefully stepped over the tree roots, and approached the leopard bit by bit.His speed was not fast, although his body was stiff, he traveled smoothly for a long distance.

"Hiss—" There was a slight sound of clothes being torn, and Ah Heng's begging stick touched a soft mass. He took a closer look and found that the begging stick was hanging on a ball of yellow and white clothes.

A headless corpse!The body was wearing a yellow and white robe, with an empty scabbard on its back.Isn't this the Tianhuan real person whose head was swallowed by a monster that day? How did he come here?

Ah Heng poked at the corpse, thinking that the leopard probably brought it in for food.

The sound alarmed the leopard, and Ah Heng was already close enough to it.It bared its teeth, but shrank its body and moved back.Ah Heng noticed that the leopard was moving very slowly, and when he looked closely, all four of its legs were broken.Ordinary leopards would probably die long after suffering such an attack, but this leopard was only a little slow in moving.

Its four legs were twisted, and it was heart-wrenching to move. The flesh at the broken bone was worn out, and black blood clotted on the wound.It looked so miserable... especially the leopard's eyes were bloodshot, and there were still tears rolling in the eye sockets. I don't know if it was pain or despair.

Ah Heng put Tian Huan's body aside with a begging stick, then walked slowly to the leopard.The leopard made an attacking movement, but because its limbs couldn't use its strength, it staggered and let out a low growl from its throat.The leopard's tearful eyes were full of pride and anger. Even if all its limbs were destroyed, this monster was still not something humans could humiliate.

Ah Heng also described himself as being in a state of embarrassment along the way. He waved his hand: "I didn't come here to hurt you. I have something to tell you." Ah Heng stepped back a few steps and sat on a raised tree root. He felt that the leopard could understand his words.

"Thank you for your help that day, if it weren't for your help, this Taoist would have killed me, thank you." Ah Heng pointed to the headless corpse and said, "No matter what your purpose is, you have helped me. "

The leopard looked at Ah Heng ferociously, his red eyes were full of vigilance and guard.He doesn't believe a single word that this human said!If a person breaks all his limbs, and then appears in his own home and says to himself, I thank you.Ha ha, no one would believe it.

If he hadn't lost his vigilance due to the pain, how could he have let this man walk near his cave? How does Leopard look at it now, and how does it feel that this man has malicious intentions.

Ah Heng was a little hesitant and a little embarrassed: "I always feel that you and I should have a fate, don't get it wrong, I'm talking about the fate between master and apprentice. Oh, I am the master, and you are the apprentice."

"Roar—" the leopard growled furiously at Ah Heng, even someone like Ah Heng who couldn't understand animal language could feel the leopard's anger.But Ah Heng was still adding fuel to the fire, he scratched his messy hair a little embarrassedly.

"I have never been someone else's master, but there is a first time for everything." Ah Heng's smile was a little silly under Ye Mingzhu, "It's strange to say that when I wake up, I always have some weird thoughts in my mind. .”

Not only is it weird, some thoughts are simply against the sky, not only can he see people's birth, old age, sickness and death, sometimes there is a little bit of enlightenment in his mind.

Although he couldn't tell what it was, Ah Heng felt that there was nothing wrong with it.This is probably what they mean by following your heart. Ah Heng touched his chest, but there was no heartbeat in it.

"I just came here to tell you that you and I have the fate of master and apprentice. Of course, you decide whether to follow me or not." A Heng scratched his hair as if giving up, "Although I have nothing now, I am still a beggar. , but if you are my apprentice, I will never give up on you."

"Get out!!!" Leopard finally couldn't help nagging Ah Heng, and he roared loudly.The angry roar made Ah Heng's brain tremble, if he had any brains.

"What kind of magic did you use on me! Why is my wound not healed for so long!"

Ah Heng was shocked and said: "You can talk!" But when he turned his head and thought, a voice in his mind kept thinking about taking this leopard as an apprentice. Before that, he was still thinking about what he could teach the leopard.He thought about it, and imagined that there was a leopard lying across in front of him, and then one person and one leopard were begging.

"I didn't want to break your leg..." The words didn't finish, Ah Heng had already been swept out of the cave by a powerful spiritual energy, the leopard couldn't do anything to Ah Heng, but he didn't want to see Ah Heng's withered face either.

The leopard's voice echoed in the woods: "When I recover, I will crush you to ashes! Just wait for me!"

Ah Heng, who rolled on the ground a few times, got up in disgrace, his head and face were covered with muddy water, and he complained a little wronged: "I really have a bad temper."

He still thought about taking this leopard as an apprentice, he must be crazy.Ah Heng shook his hair, shaking out all the weird thoughts in his head, he probably wanted to be a teacher and went crazy.

"I'm just a beggar, and everything in this world doesn't revolve around me." Ah Heng comforted himself calmly, and then continued to walk home slowly.

He was in a good state of mind, and he was not angry after being rejected by the leopard.While walking in the woods, he even caught a pheasant that was drenched in the rain. He should guard Ergou and Old Wentou well.

After Ah Heng left, Leopard's whole body went limp.He was in so much pain that he couldn't control his physical tears.Not to mention missing arms and legs, he was stabbed in the chest countless times along the way.Yaoxiu's powerful aura and strong body supported him all the way, even if his arm was broken, he could grow a new one.But why can't it work this time?

The leopard bit off his front paw in pain, but the newly grown front paw was still broken like the previous arm, and the pain caused him to collapse.He is such a great demon cultivator, he couldn't help a leopard crying in pain in the cave.He clearly swallowed the soul of a Nascent Soul and the golden core of a Golden Core cultivator that day, but none of those powers could heal the pain of broken limbs.

This kind of pain is like a body attached to bones, and it hasn't been better than 1 minute since the moment the bone broke.The leopard was anxious and in pain. He almost exhausted his spiritual energy to repair the broken limbs, but it didn't work at all.Pain can make people lose their minds, and the leopard was in such pain that he wished he could slam his head against a log and die.

More painful than physical pain is mental torture.He has been hiding for too long, Lian Wushang has been chasing after him, he finally found a place to rest for a while, but he encountered such a troublesome thing.

Killing Xiu, he has no regrets.This kind of person who is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality is filthy in his cultivation. He has a thousand lives in hand, and he doesn't care about one or two more.

"Xiaoyu..." Leopard lay down tiredly. He heard Xiaoyu calling him in his dream when he closed his eyes these days, maybe he will go to see her soon.That's right, he doesn't want to hide anymore, Lian Wushang is probably coming, and he probably won't be able to escape.

"Xiaoyu, wait for me, I will meet you soon, and we will walk together on Huangquan Road." Leopard had a tear in his eye, and he fell into a deep sleep, only the sound of wind and rain came from outside.

The author has something to say: Wen Bao: I thought that being broken by Wen Heng was already the most painful thing. I never thought that this was just the beginning!

Wen Heng: Disciple, I didn't hear what you said just now.

Wen Bao: Master, my apprentice said that you are wise and powerful!
