Chapter 129 Beggar Chu Yuan!

The place of Kaifeng was called Bianliang in ancient times.

The strategic point of the Central Plains and the hub of all directions.

It enjoys the advantages of natural conditions and geographical location. It has been the capital of emperors and a gathering place for merchants since ancient times.

Twelve miles away from the east gate of Kaifeng, there is a market called Houjianji.

On market days, people from all over the country gather here in an endless stream, carrying things on their shoulders and in their hands, bringing their children and the elderly.

Today is market day. Inside the market, there are stalls everywhere, shops are wide open, and a wide variety of goods are on display.

The streets are bustling with people and laughter, creating a prosperous and lively scene.

The two little beggars in tattered clothes looked inconspicuous in the crowded crowd.

The two little beggars, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, were standing under the eaves of a grocery store at the town entrance.

The actual ages of one are twelve and the other thirteen.

Both of them were wearing tattered clothes and their faces were dirty.

The youngest beggar gave one of the two copper coins he had just begged to the older beggar.

"Brother Chu, you gave me half of what you begged for before. I don't owe you any favors. I just begged for a copper coin, so I'll give you one too."

The younger beggar handed a copper coin to the older beggar.

"Your two copper coins are just enough to buy a steamed bun. If you give me one, it won't be enough to buy a steamed bun. You'll go hungry today!"

Chu Yuan looked at the bastard beside him and smiled.

This big beggar was Chu Yuan.

After winning the Huashan Sword Contest and defeating many masters such as Dongfang Bubai, Zhang Sanfeng, Feng Qingyang, etc., Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang, Chongxu and others did not die in the collapse caused by the collapse of the mountain, but ran to the ridge in advance.

Not to mention that only a part of the top of Luoyan Peak collapsed. Even if it collapsed completely, based on the martial arts of Chu Yuan, Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang and others, they would not necessarily die.

After becoming the winner of the Huashan Sword Contest and the best in the world.

Chu Yuan and his group from the Qingcheng Sect had just come down the mountain and were preparing to return to the Qingcheng Sect.

But suddenly, Chu Yuan had a premonition that he might be leaving this world soon.

He might not even have enough time to go back to Qingcheng Mountain to see his fellow apprentices, nephews, master, and uncles, and say goodbye to them.

After finding a forest at the foot of the mountain to rest, he told his companions Ren Yingying and Ren Woxing, as well as his disciple Qu Feiyan and nephew Lin Pingzhi that he was about to leave this world.

Chu Yuan hastily gave them some suggestions on the future development of the Qingcheng Sect and the operation of the Five Sects Alliance.

Ren Yingying asked sadly, "Brother Chu, where are you going?"

Chu Yuan replied: "Another world!"

As the sound lingered, Chu Yuan's whole body glowed with white light. His figure gradually disappeared, slowly becoming transparent, and disappeared right under everyone's eyes.

Chu Yuan also lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he found himself in a strange world.

However, this time, his luck seemed to be even worse. He did not travel through time to a normal family, but to the body of a thirteen-year-old beggar who was also named Chu Yuan.

"I'm a beggar so beggar. Fortunately, I have the martial arts from my previous life, so I can survive in this strange world."

"I just don't know if in that world, I will leave behind a legend of my ascension to immortality, just like Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Daoling..."

Chu Yuan said in his heart.

"Brother Chu, I'm talking to you!"

The bastard waved his hand in front of Chu Yuan's eyes and looked at Chu Yuan with a strange look.

"I was just distracted, what did you say?"

Chu Yuan asked the bastard.

"Brother Chu, my mother said that if you lose money, you can earn it again, but you can't be selfish. You took care of me before, and I can't just think about myself when I ask for money."

The bastard said to Chu Yuan seriously.

Chu Yuan looked at the bastard. He saw a ray of humanity in this dirty little beggar.

Chu Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take the money."

Chu Yuan reached out and took the penny from the dirty bastard's hand.

It has been a month since he traveled to this world. The original little beggar Chu Yuan was weak and lived a life of hunger and fullness.

But after he crossed over, thanks to his decisiveness and cleverness, he no longer had to go hungry.

The bastard came to the town a few days ago, saying that his mother was missing, so he went down the mountain to look for her and came to this town. Chu Yuan took care of him when he was able, but he didn't expect this kid to be so grateful.

The encounter with the mongrel made Chu Yuan realize that he had traveled to another martial arts world.

correct!

The bastard was accompanied by a dog.

This dog's name is Dahuang.

Dahuang is a typical Chinese pastoral dog. He is smart and human-like. He can find food on his own without the mongrel dog having to worry about him. Instead, his owner, the mongrel dog, often goes hungry.

"Since you have begged for copper coins, you should give them to us. Everyone knows that this town is our territory. If you want to beg, you must get our approval. We are kindhearted to allow you two to beg in this town!"

Chu Yuan had just taken the coin when a teasing voice came from the side.

Chu Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and found that the people speaking were also three beggars.

They were also wearing ragged clothes, had unkempt hair and dirty bodies.

The only difference is that they are older than Chu Yuan and the bastard, and much taller. The tallest is nearly six feet tall, and the shortest is five feet seven. Chu Yuan and the bastard are more than four feet tall, one is less than four feet tall.

They each held a bamboo stick as thick as a thumb in their hands.

Chu Yuan and the bastard had nothing in their hands.

Looking at these three adult beggars, Chu Yuan sighed.

This world!
It’s so difficult to get a meal!

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes!
Beggars are at the bottom of society, but sometimes the infighting among the bottom is the most serious.

The three adult beggars were named Liu Laigou, Li Kugen and Xu Han.

The leader was Liu Laigou, also a beggar who made a living in Houjianji.

But compared to him and the bastard, they started begging in Houjianji earlier, they are older and stronger.

So they would bully other beggars in the town and snatch what they begged from them.

Before traveling through time, Chu Yuan's predecessor had been bullied and robbed by them a lot!

Besides, as a little beggar, he couldn’t beg for anything valuable.

Usually, kind-hearted people or waiters in the inn would take pity on them and give them some leftover food, steamed buns, etc., so they often went hungry one day and had a full meal the next.

After being robbed by these big beggars, Chu Yuan's life became even more miserable and he often went hungry.

When Chu Yuan traveled through time, his predecessor had just suffered a serious illness and was weak. Fortunately, Chu Yuan traveled through time, otherwise his predecessor would have died in an empty corner of the town that day and no one would have known about it.

Chu Yuan, who had just traveled through time, had lost all his internal energy and was so weak that he couldn't even stand steadily, so he used his strength to steady himself.

During this period, I have been avoiding the big beggars in these market towns.

After a month of rest, Chu Yuan finally recovered.

In the past, they didn’t mind the leftovers, but today, when they saw the bastard’s two copper coins, these big beggars wanted to snatch them.

Chu Yuan also wanted to take this opportunity to teach these beggars a lesson and solve these troubles.

"We don't want the copper coins anymore. We'll give them to you."

When the bastard saw Liu Laigou and the other two appear, his expression changed and he hurriedly took out his remaining copper coin and wanted to give it to the other party.

The bastard had just arrived and was bullied by this group of people and even beaten by them.

Therefore, the bastard was extremely afraid of this group of people.

"and many more……"

Just as the bastard was about to hand over the coin, Chu Yuan stepped in between, took the coin handed over by the bastard in his hand before Liu Lai Gou.

"Boy..."

Seeing Chu Yuan taking the copper coin handed over by the bastard, Liu Lai Gou's smile froze on his face for a moment.

"Take out the copper coins, or you will die today."

Another big beggar, Li Kugen, threatened Chu Yuandao.

To be precise, there is no leader among this group of beggars. They just stick together instinctively to make it easier to bully those who are weaker than them.

"It seems like it's been a while since I did anything to you, so you've forgotten your lesson. Today we're going to give you a good beating."

The big beggar Xu Han also said with a cold expression.

He put the bamboo pole in his arms, clenched one hand into a fist, and placed it in the other hand. He rubbed his hands and shrugged his shoulders, which was full of threats.

"If you want these two copper coins, come and get them!" Chu Yuan stretched out his right hand and showed the two copper coins, including the one that the bastard had just given him, to the three people. Then he quickly clenched his fist and took it back.

As a man who has lived three lives, he has seen through the methods used by beggars like Liu Laigou who oppress each other at the bottom of society.

Many times, they don't just rob directly.

Because it is risky to rob directly.

If they force the other party to fight with them, it would not be worth it if they get hurt.

Their identity as beggars meant that they were destined to have no money to see a doctor or buy medicine from a pharmacy.

Most of their tactics are nothing more than coaxing, scaring and beating!
The so-called coaxing means relying on sweet words to trick the other party into giving the things they beg for into one's own hands.

Most of the young beggars who were not well-versed in the world had their hard-earned money be deceived by the big beggars. When they came to their senses, they dared not beg again because the big beggars were sticking together.

Second scare, that’s what it is now.

Most beggars, not just the little beggars, were frightened by the posture of the three men. Because they outnumbered them, they would definitely be intimidated and would believe whatever they said!
Finally, take action.

When they encounter a ruthless person or an experienced beggar, no amount of coaxing or scaring will work. Instead, they will observe the other person's words and expressions and take action if they think he or she will not pose a threat to them.

Especially when the temptation is big enough, like the two copper coins in Chu Yuan's hand now.

Because beggars usually seldom beg for money, most of what they beg are leftovers and the like.

The temptation of these two copper coins was great enough, and they knew Chu Yuan well enough to feel that Chu Yuan posed no threat to them, so they really planned to take action against Chu Yuan.

The three of them surrounded Chu Yuan together, rubbing their hands, ready to beat Chu Yuan up.

In the world of beggars, there is no concept of fighting alone or being a hero.

I have already become a beggar, why do I need to save face? Just find a way to survive!
Fighting together can prevent them from capsizing in the ditch and getting seriously injured!
"Brother Chu, money is not important, just give them the two copper coins."

Seeing these three big beggars with fierce looks, ready to beat up Chu Yuan, the bastard was frightened and tried to persuade them.

Although the two copper coins were precious, it was not worth it to suffer the pain in vain after being beaten by these big beggars.

"It's too late to give in now."

Liu Lai Gou, one of the three big beggars, sneered.

The three of them surrounded Chu Yuan and approached him step by step.

"Hanako got into a fight!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Then, a group of villagers who came to the market immediately gathered around them.

Not only the villagers who came to the market, but also the owners of the grocery stores in the market and the surrounding street shops came out to watch the fun.

"It's bad luck. Beggars are fighting. Stay away. Don't dirty my shop and affect my business."

The owner of the grocery store was named Wang. He also heard the noise and came out. When he saw beggars fighting in front of the door, he immediately shouted.

Hearing the scolding from Shopkeeper Wang, Liu Laigou, one of the three, immediately changed his expression and said with a flattering smile, "Okay, okay, we'll go somewhere else and not fight in front of your shop."

There was no anger in the eyes of the three beggars.

They were used to being looked down upon. This was the owner of a grocery store in the town. He was a superior person. Whether in terms of status or power, they, the beggars, could not compare to him.

"Boy, do you dare to fight with us?"

Li Kugen said to Chu Yuan.

"Why don't you dare?"

Chu Yuan said.

He also had no intention of standing in front of Manager Wang's shop to make Liu Laigou and others feel afraid and afraid to attack him.

In fact, what Manager Wang said just now was not only directed at Liu Laigou and the other two, but also at him.

If he didn't know what was best for him, he would not only have to deal with these three big beggars, but he would also have to face being driven away by the shop assistants in Manager Wang's shop, or even being sued.

As he spoke, Chu Yuan walked to the center of the street.

Seeing that there was something exciting to watch, the villagers on the street immediately and spontaneously made way for the four people in an open area on the street.

Liu Laigou and others followed and surrounded Chu Yuan again.

"It's so inhumane for a big beggar to bully a small beggar!"

"How can a beggar have any humanity?"

"It's over. There's nothing exciting to watch. This little beggar looks only about twelve or thirteen years old. He's skinny and weak. He can't even beat a big beggar, let alone three of them."

The villagers who were watching the excitement on the street started to discuss after seeing clearly the two sides of the conflict.

They thought that the little beggar was bound to get a beating!
Whoosh!
At this moment, Chu Yuan suddenly took action!

He was extremely fast and in just two or three steps he reached the front of Xu Han, the shortest beggar.

Before Xu Han could react, Chu Yuan hit him in the chest with an elbow, right in the middle of his body, six inches above the navel.

puff!
After a muffled sound.

Xu Han was knocked to the ground by Chu Yuan's elbow and never got up again.

The villagers who were watching were stunned for a moment.

Look at this little beggar’s short stature, is he that strong?

One elbow can make an adult fall to the ground.

Or was it that the beggar was too weak due to hunger?
He was knocked unconscious by a single elbow from a four-foot-tall beggar.

While the surrounding villagers were stunned, Chu Yuan took the bamboo pole of the big beggar Xu Han in his hand.

With a fishing rod in hand, Chu Yuan's temperament changed immediately.

From a dirty little beggar, he immediately became sharp like a sword.

Before Liu Laigou and Li Kugen could react, they saw a flash of sticks and felt a pain in their chests. They immediately followed Xu Han's footsteps and fell straight to the ground, unable to stand up again.

The whole process is completed in one go.

From Xu Han who fell to the ground first, Chu Yuan snatched the bamboo pole from the other party, held the pole in his right hand, and poked the other two big beggars to the ground.

All of this... only happened within two or three breaths.

"I didn't expect this little beggar to be a hidden master!"

"This little beggar is not simple!"

"Three adults were defeated in the hands of the other side in just a moment."

"I know him. His name is Chu Yuan. He has been begging in our market for several years. I heard that he was beaten by these big beggars before. How come he suddenly became so powerful?"

The villagers who were already prepared to see the little beggar being beaten by the big beggar, saw that the little beggar actually won. They all looked at Chu Yuandao with surprise and disbelief.

After defeating the three big beggars, Chu Yuan walked up to the three people who had fallen to the ground, holding a bamboo pole.

He looked down at the three men and said, "If I had a sword in my hand, you would be dead by now."

After Liu, Lai Gou and the other two were confused at first and didn't understand the situation, they finally came to their senses.

They actually fell into Chu Yuan's hands, defeated by Chu Yuan, a thirteen-year-old beggar.

But they had clearly beaten Chu Yuan before, and Chu Yuan was not that powerful!
Liu Laigou endured the severe pain in his chest and said to his immobile body, "Chu... Hero, although we have robbed you and beaten you before, we have never thought of harming your life. You don't need to kill us, right?"

In a hurry, Liu Lai Gou changed his words and called himself Chu Yuan Chu Da Xia!

He heard that those famous heroes with great martial arts skills in the world were called this.

He called Chu Yuan like this, hoping that Chu Yuan would spare their lives.

Chu Yuan looked at the dog lying on the ground and said, "You have robbed me many times and have a grudge against me. Today I have no sword in my hand and I don't want to see blood. However, I can escape the death penalty, but I can't escape the punishment of life. I hit all three of you in the Juque acupoint. The Juque acupoint is the gathering point of the heart and is one of the death points of a person. Once severely hit, you will die on the spot or suffer damage to your five internal organs. Because I am young and my strength is not enough, the degree of injury to your Juque acupoint is relatively light, but your five internal organs have been damaged. If you don't find a doctor to treat you, you won't live for a few years."

When Liu Laigou, Li Kugen and Xu Han heard Chu Yuan's words, they immediately felt hopeless.

They were extremely poor beggars, and having enough food to eat was a luxury, let alone having money to see a doctor or a physician for treatment.

If they had money, they wouldn't be eyeing the two copper coins from Chu Yuan and Gou Bastard.

In other words, even if Chu Yuan didn't kill them immediately, they would only have a few years to live.

Chu Yuan added: "I hit your acupuncture points hard, and you have temporarily lost your ability to move. After two quarters of an hour, your blood and qi will resume flowing, and you will be able to move again."

After saying that, Chu Yuan pulled the equally stunned bastard beside him, squeezed a passage through the crowd, and left together.

If I don't leave now, the villagers who have come to their senses and even the shop owners on both sides of the street will probably come over and try to get close to me.

Although Chu Yuan is a beggar, judging from the skills he just demonstrated, he is obviously not an ordinary beggar and has the capital to make people befriend him.

Unfortunately, by the time the crowd on the street came to their senses, Chu Yuan had already walked away with the bastard.

On the contrary, not far from the grocery store, a few shops away, there is the owner of a sesame seed bun and fried dough stick shop, an old man with gray hair.

He looked at the direction where Chu Yuan and the mongrel left, while fishing out the sesame cakes from the frying pan, and said thoughtfully: "That little beggar's swordsmanship is so amazing, it's just a bamboo pole, but it gives people the feeling of holding a long sword. I wonder which senior this little beggar is a disciple of?"
