Mysterious mirror hanging high

Yuwen Baoge was sullen and unwilling to speak. He was now covered in dirt and mud. Where was the majestic and imposing appearance of the former Baoge Zhenjun? He looked truly pitiful.

But after a long time, no one gave alms, so the old beggar began to persuade him again: "Open your mouth!"

Yuwen Baoge opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He was born into the Yuwen family with a silver spoon in his mouth. He had a top-grade spiritual root when he was six years old. He was valued by the elders in his family and practiced smoothly. In the past, he only had compliments from others. Even the Yuwen family's ancestor who had reached the level of a god would often smile when he saw Yuwen Baoge. How could he bring himself to ask for money?

But the feeling of hunger in his stomach became more and more obvious. In desperation, Yuwen Baoge could only say a few words in a weak mosquito-like voice:

"Everyone... please be kind... I haven't eaten in a few days..."

A woman passing by felt sorry for Yuwen Baoge and threw down a copper coin, saying pitifully, "You are such a good man, yet you look so weak. You must have been hungry for several days. Go buy some pancakes to fill your stomach."

Yuwen Baoge stared blankly at the copper coin in the broken porcelain bowl, bit his tongue hard, his eyes slightly red, all the grievances he had suffered before came to his mind, and he almost cried in front of the old beggar.

Finally, she gritted her teeth and swallowed back her tears, her voice a little louder:

"At the end of the New Year, I wish you great fortune and prosperity in the New Year! May your family be happily reunited, and may your official position rise steadily!"

It has to be said that everything is difficult at the beginning. Although Yuwen Baoge stumbled at the beginning, after he really got the money, his auspicious words became more and more fluent, which even stunned the old beggar beside him.

Seeing the copper coins in the broken porcelain bowl in front of him increasing, Yuwen Baoge's mouth curled up slightly, and he was thinking about what to buy to eat.

But suddenly he felt his vision darken, and when he looked up, he saw three or four beggars on the opposite side surrounding him, looking down at him.

"What?" Yuwen Baoge asked in surprise.

"Kid, what's your background?" One of the beggars, who looked like a skinny monkey, looked at the old beggar and said, "Old Li, who is this kid?"

The old beggar named Lao Li was surprised and said, "Isn't he a new member of the gang?"

"Pfft..." The skinny beggar spat and said, "I've never seen this guy! The gang leader never mentioned him to me."

"Boy, you're so brave! This whole block belongs to my [Mangy Dog Gang], who allowed you to beg here without permission?"

Yuwen Baoge, having been living in the mortal world, was already filled with anger. Hearing this beggar dare to shout at him, he became even more angry: "What a joke! It's broad daylight, and I don't see you building any fences around the land. How did you become your territory?"

"Even begging for food these days requires paying respects to a mountain master?"

"Damn it, where did this fool come from? How dare you disobey the rules of my [Mangy Dog Gang]? Beat him up!"

After saying that, the other three beggars rushed forward, two of them held down Yuwen Baoge, and the remaining one and the skinny monkey started punching and kicking Yuwen Baoge's body.

"Ouch! Stop hitting me..."

If only his magic power was sealed, Yuwen Baoge's Nascent Soul Dharma body would be considered tough, no less than that of an ordinary body cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. But now Qiu Dongxuan had transformed both his physical body and Dharma body into a mortal body, and the beatings he received from him by punches and kicks really made this True Lord Baoge feel pain to the bone.

"stop fighting……"

Fearing someone might die, Old Li said anxiously, "This guy might be a refugee from outside the city. Our [Leggy Gang] is in need of people right now, so why not take him in? He's a talent..."

The skinny monkey was still not satisfied and kicked a few more times before stopping. He took the broken porcelain bowl in front of Yuwen Baoge and poured out all the copper coins in it, signaling his men:

"Bring this young man to the gang headquarters for the gang leader's inspection."

Several people escorted the groggy Yuwen Baoge to a leaky City God Temple on the outskirts of the city, but they saw a middle-aged man with a face full of flesh and a pair of white eyes leaning against the statue in the main hall of the City God Temple.

This man was different from the other skinny beggars. He had very strong muscles, large joints on his hands, and thick calluses on his fingers and palms. It was obvious that he had some experience in martial arts.

"Boss, this guy was begging in our gang's territory without reporting, and we caught him." The skinny monkey asked for credit.

Old Li, on the other hand, supported Yuwen Baoge: "Boss, this young man is very smart and has learned begging very quickly. Why not take him into the gang..."

The middle-aged man opened his eyes slightly, looked up and down at the bruised Yuwen Baoge, and said calmly, "Which gang are you from? Do you have any connections?"

Yuwen Baoge was furious, but the situation was stronger than him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, I'm new here and don't know the rules of your gang. I've offended you and your precious place... I'll just go beg somewhere else."

"Oh, you're an educated person."

The middle-aged man smiled and said leisurely, "I'm not curious about your past identity. We're all wanderers in this world. Since Old Li has recommended you, then stay!"

The skinny monkey took the dozen coins from his pocket and handed them over to the middle-aged man respectfully: "Boss, this is the stolen money this kid begged for today..."

Yuwen Baoge was furious when he saw this: "I begged for this!"

"Since I joined the gang, this is what I worked so hard to gain. Why should I hand it all over?"

After saying that, he suddenly broke free from his restraints and rushed towards the middle-aged man regardless of anything.

The middle-aged man's face darkened, he stood up suddenly and kicked Yuwen Baoge.

puff--

Yuwen Baoge spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards.

He struggled to get up, only to feel that several of his ribs seemed to be broken and he could hardly breathe.

"Once you join my [Leggy Gang], you must abide by the gang's rules! Boy, remember this: in the gang, you only follow the lead of my leader [Leggy]. What I say is what I do. If I tell you to go east, you're not allowed to go west!"

"Don't even mention a dozen coins. Even if I ask you to sacrifice your own mother, you have to carry her to my bed!"

"These ten or so coins are a welcome gift... Also, I'm not happy with you, so from now on you'll have to pay 10% more than everyone else."

Then, the middle-aged man seemed to see the storage bag on Yuwen Baoge's waist, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Skinny monkey, bring me the purse on that kid's waist!"

"What are you going to do!"

Yuwen Baoge secretly regretted not taking down and burying the storage bag in advance, but he saw three or five tall beggars who were obviously well fed and warmly dressed surrounding him, and without saying a word, they tried to snatch his storage bag!
