    Chapter 3 The mysterious old man

    The two of them were so hungry that they ran to the back of the mountain and dug out the remaining roasted sweet potatoes like dog plows. They ate them as if they were reincarnations of starving ghosts. One pot of water and one mouthful for the two of them, they ate a lot.  happy.

    There is a forest in the back mountain. Through the forest is the place where the war has been. It is a battlefield cemetery. Many people died. No one dares to go near it. The yin is strong and the evil spirit is hidden.

    At this moment, two old men stood in the forest, looking at Xu Daoyan and Wu Xiaobai.

    One of the old men had a strong physique, surging blood, and dark skin. He held a hammer in his hand with various mysterious patterns on it. His eyes were shining, he looked at Wu Xiaobai and smiled excitedly.  : "A good person for thousands of generations, a golden lotus of merit, ninety-nine perfections, thousands of lives, a flawless mind, he is a good seedling!"

    "This one of mine is just average. If you say it's a bad person, I can't even call it that. If you say it's a good person, it can't be compared to yours. But my heart is very firm. This is the only advantage!" The person who spoke was the person just now.  The old beggar who ate Xu Daoyan's roasted sweet potatoes was a mess all over, his body was thin and dry, and there were a few worms squirming in his hair. He had a black stick in his hand, and there was nothing powerful about him.  There is no comparison with the old man next to him.

    "No matter what, I have to accept Wu Xiaobai as my disciple anyway." The old man Iron Hammer was very excited, and the blood in his body was flowing and surging.

    "Don't be anxious, act independently."

    Dusk is gradually falling.

    Xu Daoyan looked at Wu Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, you go back first. I want to go to the back mountain alone to have a look. You tell my mother-in-law that I will stay at your house tonight."

    Because Xu Daoyan and Wu Xiaobai have a very close relationship. They have played together since childhood and often sleep at each other's house. This is normal.

    "I heard that there are ghosts in the back mountain at night. Do you think the ghosts in our village may come from the back mountain?" Wu Xiaobai felt a hairy feeling all over his body when he thought of ghosts.

    "It's okay, I won't stay too late. I want to find out if there is anything else to eat besides sweet potatoes. If you are brave, go back first. I will go back soon. Remember to bring me the roasted sweet potatoes in the evening.  Auntie, otherwise she will be hungry." Xu Daoyan said with a smile.

    "Don't worry, Daoyan, you have to come back early. I'll wait for you at home." Wu Xiaobai left without paying much attention, because Daoyan has been more courageous since he was a child. He dared to do anything and never saw anything happen.  .

    Xu Daoyan looked at the sweet potato field alone. There were still a lot of sweet potatoes that could last for a while. He looked at the forest.

    At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and he suddenly felt a little scared. After all, he was only a twelve-year-old boy, but he also wanted to see what the forbidden place in the back mountain was like, so he started to walk in step by step.  In the woods, the sky gradually became dark.

    Xu Daoyan looked at the gradually darkening forest, and there seemed to be a faint gust of wind coming, which made him shiver involuntarily, and he felt like his scalp was numb.

    Just when Xu Daoyan was about to walk into the woods, suddenly a hand was put on his shoulder from behind. This slap scared him into a cold sweat, the hairs all over his body stood up, and his heart went cold.

    The moment he turned his head, he saw that it was the old beggar from the daytime, with a grin on his dark face, revealing a pair of big yellow teeth: "We meet again, boy"

    In the dark forest.

    When Xu Daoyan saw the old man behind him, his heart suddenly dropped. He breathed a sigh of relief and told the old beggar, "It turns out to be you. Don't go this way. It is said that there is a war ahead.  There is a battlefield cemetery left, and dead ghosts will appear at night. It will be dangerous if you go that way. "

    "Then why are you still going forward?" The old beggar chuckled, looking like he didn't believe it.

    "Because I want to find food to feed my grandma. It's very difficult at home now. I can't eat sweet potatoes for every meal. If there are pheasants, hares, etc., shoot a few for my grandma to replenish her health."  Xu Daoyan looked ahead, very focused, looking for prey, because he felt that his mother's body bones were a little weak.

    "Haha, let me ask you, do you want to see the outside world?" The old beggar looked at Xu Daoyan and asked seriously.

    "I think so, but now I can support myself first, and then I can support my mother!" Xu Daoyan knew that this old beggar had traveled to many places and must have seen a lot, but he couldn't be a little beggar with him, right?

    "Then do you want to hear about the outside world? After I eat a sweet potato from you, I will tell you about what I saw outside." The old beggar looked at Xu Daoyan and grinned.He smiled, sat cross-legged on the ground, and pulled him to tell a story.

    "Okay." After all, Xu Daoyan was just a child, full of curiosity about the outside world. Immediately, the old beggar patiently told Xu Daoyan a story.

    It turns out that the mountain village where he lives belongs to the Jiuzhou Divine Dynasty, a village under the jurisdiction of Shilong City on the northern edge of Youzhou.

    Among the nine major states, each state has 3,600 cities. Each city has a general, and the person in charge of a city is a general.

    There is one prince for one hundred cities, and those who are in charge of one hundred cities are princes.

    There are six hundred and one princes, and the one who is in charge of six hundred cities is a prince.

    There is one county king for each state, and the person in charge of a state is the county king.

    Each city covers an area of ??at least 100,000 miles and a maximum of 360,000 miles. In other words, a conservative estimate is that a state has at least 360 million miles and a maximum of 1.296 billion.  The vastness of the Kyushu Divine Dynasty was beyond Xu Daoyan's imagination. He could not calculate how big it was, and he listened leisurely and fascinated.

    ??And people are divided into nine levels. At this moment, Xu Daoyan is the ninth level of people. People who are inferior to others are the most humble existence. Above the first level of people, there are people who are superior to others.

    "Do you want to be a servant, or a superior?" the old beggar asked Xu Daoyan seriously.

    "Of course he is a master!" Xu Daoyan felt mysterious and mysterious when he heard this. When asked, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp and he answered firmly.

    "Do you know how people are classified?" the old beggar asked again.

    "What?"

    "Rely on strength." The old beggar began to explain.

    The man is eight years old, has sufficient kidney energy, thick hair, and replacement teeth.

    At the age of sixteen, the kidney qi is strong, the Tiangui is mature, the essence is sufficient, the yin and yang are intertwined, and children can be born.

    At the age of twenty-four, the kidney qi is calm, the muscles and bones are strong, the wisdom teeth grow, and the body stops growing taller.

    Thirty-two years old, with strong bones and strong muscles.

    At the age of forty, kidney energy declines, hair begins to fall out, and teeth become haggard.

    At the age of forty-eight, the Yangming meridian in the upper part of the human body is exhausted, the complexion is haggard, and the hair on the temples is gray.

    At the age of fifty-six, the liver Qi is exhausted, the tendons and veins are also weakened, and the movement is inflexible.

    At the age of sixty-four, the Tiangui is exhausted, the essence is low, and the kidneys are failing. Everything has begun to slowly reach its limit.

    This is the ninth class of people.

    Xu Daoyan frowned. Indeed, people in the village often said that life is rare in the past seventy years. If some people live to be seventy years old, it will be considered a happy death.

    "What is Tiangui?" Xu Daoyan was curious.

    "It is the innate essence contained in a person's body when he is born." The old beggar said with a smile.

    "What do those eight people look like?" Xu Daoyan asked again.

    "The eighth-level person is equivalent to the fake Taoist priest in your village. With his wealth, he can eat some things that replenish his energy and increase his lifespan. However, he is not much better. With his current strength, he can  Living to be a hundred years old is already the limit." The old beggar grinned.

    "Fake Taoist priest? Our village is really haunted." Xu Daoyan frowned and asked in confusion.

    "Ghosts are real, but this Taoist priest is fake." The old beggar laughed.

    "How do you know?" Xu Daoyan was confused, knowing that he was just an old beggar, how could he suddenly become a master of Taoism?

    "You don't have to ask, just kneel down and kowtow three times, and I will accept you as my disciple." The old beggar said with a smile.

    "My mother-in-law said that a man has gold at his knees and cannot kneel to others easily. You just say a few words and you want me to kneel down and worship you. It's just a dream!" When talking about this issue, Xu Daoyan said  He was very repelled. He felt that it was a particularly shameful thing to kneel down.

    "Hmm, is that so? That's fine." The old beggar was a little surprised by Xu Daoyan's performance. After thinking for a moment, he took out a wine gourd from his body, brought it to Xu Daoyan's mouth, and said with a smile: "Here, take a sip."

    "What is this?" Xu Daoyan frowned and looked at the old beggar with slight hostility.

    "It's wine, what's the matter? Don't you dare to drink it?" the old beggar said excitedly.

    "Humph, what's there to dare not drink? Isn't it just wine? Although I have never drank it, I have heard of it!" Xu Daoyan immediately grabbed the wine gourd and opened the stopper of the gourd. A gurgling aroma of wine flowed out, just slightly.  As soon as he smelled it, he felt comfortable all over his body, and his strength increased a bit.

    Although Xu Daoyan was a ninth-level person who didn¡¯t understand anything, he knew it was a good thing. He immediately raised his head and took a big sip.

    Wow

    From Xu Daoyan¡¯s body, there was a wave ofThe fluid rushed to his limbs and bones. On his body, layers of black and thick things were forced out of his body. The smell was extremely fishy. The alcohol came out from the pores on his body, shaking these layers of internal impurities into nothingness.  .

    Xu Daoyan felt that he was full of energy, as if he could see farther, his eyes were sharp, and his body strength had also increased a lot. He felt as if he could easily pick up a cow now, punch it out, and break a tree.  !

    This was a dramatic growth. He looked at the skin on his body which was very delicate and smooth. All the dead skin had fallen off. Now Xu Daoyan, even if he farts, it will smell good.

    Xu Daoyan was shocked and looked at the old beggar: "What kind of wine is this?"

    "Haha, this is the wine that gods drink, fairy wine." The old beggar laughed and said very proudly: "Can you kneel down now? Take a sip of my fairy wine, and you can live to be one hundred and twenty years old.  "

    "Don't kneel!" Xu Daoyan shook his head.

    The old beggar¡¯s face turned green, this damn kid is not a short-tongued drinker.
