Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

Sometimes, I can’t even get a penny in a whole day.

Sometimes when you meet a generous person, they will just throw over a few dozen coins.

There were even some nobles who didn't have copper coins, so they just threw down a tael of silver, which was equivalent to a thousand coins.

Although you have to hand it in, after you do, your life will be a little better for the time being.

Arriving in the city soon, Uncle Zhou had just set up his stall.

Seeing the slap mark on Jiang Weichen's face and the blood at the corner of his mouth, he sighed.

Jiang Weichen didn't look at Uncle Zhou. He was just an ordinary vendor and couldn't help him, so there was no need to cause trouble for him.

Zhou Wen, who was standing next to him, also saw Jiang Weichen and was about to say hello, but was stopped by Uncle Zhou.

"Dad, was Brother Jiang beaten?"

Zhou Wen is eight years old, one year younger than Jiang Weichen.

"Alas, there will be another beggar in this town from now on."

"Dad, will Brother Jiang also have his limbs broken like those beggars?"

"maybe!"

Old man Zhou didn't tell his young son about those cruel things.

How many of the little beggars in the town are normal?

Most of them either had their hands or feet broken.

This is because Lianhua Town is too small. There are more beggars in larger places.

Missing ears, nose, eyeballs...

In short, there are all kinds of deformities.

This is "collecting and dismembering a living being". When he first heard about this, he was unwilling to believe it.

But after seeing it more and more, I gradually began to believe it.

Otherwise, where would so many deformed children come from?

Babies with deformities are usually born with them, and they can't survive.

Afterwards, the beggar leader designated an area for Jiang Weichen, told him some rules and his residence, and asked Jiang Weichen to go to his residence in the evening to pay the money and then left.

Jiang Weichen stared at his back for a long time before looking away.

"Come on, I'll take you to where you can beg." said the beggar who stayed behind.

Jiang Weichen nodded and followed.

The place is getting more and more remote, and the number of people, which were originally small, is getting smaller and smaller.

Finally we came to a messy street.

The beggar said, "This is where you beg today.

Remember that everyone has their own territory, and other places have been occupied by others.

You are not allowed to cross the line, otherwise the beggar leader will add more tasks to you."

After saying this, the beggar left.

Jiang Weichen looked at the dirty and messy environment around him and the garbage everywhere.

Is this a garbage dump? No wonder no one begged here before.

There are very few shops and stalls in this place. Can I get any money?

Jiang Weichen's heart sank. At first, he was still thinking about working hard to achieve his goal.

I'll figure it out later.

But what should I do now?

Unless you are lucky, you will never achieve your goal.

He was in an unfamiliar place, so who could help him? Who would help him?

I can't run away. I didn't waste a moment in the morning and went straight out of the town, but I was caught up immediately.

This means that those people came to the town yesterday and started targeting him when they started begging for food.

Time passed, and soon it was evening. Jiang Weichen dragged his tired body towards the beggar leader's residence.

At the end of the day, Jiang Weichen collected seven cents.

Jiang Weichen was not like other beggars who knelt on the roadside and begged with a small broken bowl.

In that area in the morning, he would approach pedestrians and flatter them, but maybe Jiang Weichen was really not happy, his smile was very fake, and he only got a penny.

In the afternoon, he planned to perform, hitting bowls and bamboo sticks with wooden sticks, and telling crosstalk according to his memories of his previous life.

Although it's a bit of a quirk, it's still a bit addictive at the moment.

It did attract a few people, but the area was too dirty and smelly, and there were hardly any people there.

In the end, he talked for the whole afternoon until his voice was hoarse, and he only got six cents in reward money.

It was only seven cents in total, and I didn't spend a penny. I got some leftovers to fill my stomach.

When we arrived at the beggar leader’s residence, it was a small, messy room.

The place was filled with a strong sour and foul smell, even stronger than the smell where he had been begging today.

The beggar leader was picking his toes and licking the bowl and chopsticks. It must be that the food was begged by a beggar or bought with the money donated by his subordinates.

Seeing Jiang Weichen, the beggar leader said straight to the point: "You are very good. Your begging method is very unique. How much did you get? Give it to me!"

Jiang Weichen's heart trembled, he was indeed being monitored.

Today was his first day walking in Lotus Town. He was not familiar with the place and didn't even know the other beggars in the town. He didn't know who was watching him.

Jiang Weichen explained, "The place was too remote today, so I only got seven cents."

The beggar leader was delighted and took the copper coin.

Jiang Weichen just thought that this hurdle was over.

But immediately the beggar leader said, "But my requirement is ten cents, which you have not met.

As payment for lying to me this morning, choose which hand to cut off.

I'm also helping you. If your hand is broken, you'll be more pitiful and beg better, right?"

Jiang Weichen's face turned pale and he subconsciously retreated to the door.

"Don't even think about running away. Although I'm not a formal disciple of the Beggars' Sect, I've practiced martial arts before.

If you leave this door, the consequences will be serious."

Jiang Weichen stopped and said quickly, "Beggar leader, you have seen how I begged today. If I lose my hand, I may not be able to receive so much filial piety in the future."

The beggar leader thought about his subordinates' report and said, "But you deceived me and failed to achieve my goal.

Then leave one finger, and ask me for a pot of wine tomorrow to replace that arm. I haven’t been drunk for a long time.

These beggars under my command are becoming increasingly useless."

A pot of wine? Even the cheapest wine in Lianhua Town would cost a hundred coins.

It is the most common apricot blossom wine that is packaged in the smallest pot and is mostly brewed by ordinary people.

Basically, they are not cellared for a long time.

Jiang Weichen looked at the door that was close at hand, then looked at the beggar leader and the machete next to him.

Run? You can't run!

Fight for the machete? But the machete is within the beggar leader's reach, so there is almost no hope.

And this beggar said he had practiced it before? Did he mean ordinary practice? Or ancient martial arts?

Didn’t I travel through time to the ancient Song Dynasty?

Could it be that there is an unknown power like in the previous life?

It’s a pity that in my previous life, I was about to go to Wudang to explore, but I died on the way.

I had never tried to learn about it before, and I didn't know anything about martial arts. I didn't even try to understand the routines.

Chapter 15 I Don’t Want to Be Dust Anymore

The beggar leader didn't know what Jiang Weichen was thinking, so he said directly: "If you don't say anything, then I will help you choose. Stretch out your right hand and choose one finger to keep."

Jiang Weichen, feeling desperate, stretched out his right hand tremblingly, clenched the other three fingers and thumb into a fist, leaving only the little finger.

The beggar leader took the knife next to him and chopped it down with incredible precision, cutting it off at the root. It was obvious that he had practiced before.

Jiang Weichen closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

The veins on his forehead were exposed.

At his age, there shouldn't be any blue veins on his forehead.

But now the veins are exposed.

This was the most painful memory Jiang Weichen had ever experienced in his two lifetimes.

If it were a few days ago, he would definitely scream.

But now, after just a few days, after experiencing this series of changes, his mentality has changed.

Many concepts from the previous life are slowly being shattered by the current reality.

The beggar leader narrowed his eyes and was very surprised that the man could endure such pain at such a young age. He felt a little afraid.

But when I thought about the other person's age, I felt relieved.

But I decided in my heart to use it for a few years and then deal with it.

The beggar leader sheathed his sword and said, "Go away!"

Jiang Weichen turned and left.
