If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 873 Liu Laosan's "Immortal Shoes"

Even Xiaoqiang could guess that the master had separated from Xi Juan so neatly and came to Mangdang Mountain and Marsh to prepare for the thunder tribulation, which must have been a certainty of his ability to survive the thunder tribulation. But the master was still in a dangerous situation with no chance of survival, so the crisis must have come from something other than the thunder tribulation.

Then why does Xiaoyu still need to borrow blessings?
She borrowed the blessing in order to survive the thunder tribulation, but her "illness" was not from the thunder tribulation at all, but from the man-made disaster that occurred after the thunder tribulation.

This "folk remedy" of borrowing good fortune is mainly aimed at natural disasters, and it also has a certain miraculous effect on man-made disasters, but it cannot play a decisive role.

When it comes to Xiaoyu's own life, what she needs is decisive power to solve the problem 100%, rather than some miraculous effects.

However, she could not borrow Liu Laosan's fortune, but she could borrow the fate of Liu Laosan and others.

Just like she borrowed Xi Juan's fate to delay the time of the heavenly tribulation.

The fate of Liu Laosan and his friends is not specifically about delaying the heavenly calamity, but is extremely suitable for the "Mangdang Mountain Small Zhoutian Star Array" here.

"Since Liu Laosan is sincerely seeking for a chance to become an immortal, I, the Immortal Yu, will be kind enough to give him a chance today."

Xiaoyu chuckled and turned into a beam of light yellow light, disappearing into the mountains and the earth, quickly approaching Dongfang Fengyi.

Liu Bang's home was in Pei County, but he did not live in the county seat.

He has a rural household registration, and his family address is Sishui County, Pei County, Fengyi, Zhongyangli, the end of the village.

Pei County is like a "provincial capital" and Fengyi is a prefecture-level city.

The entire Pei County is vast, covering an area of ​​a thousand miles, almost as large as a smaller prefecture.

In fact, after Liu Bang became emperor, Pei County was separated out and became a county, and Fengyi became a county town.

At this time, Liu Bang was more than a hundred miles away from home and was almost leaving Fengyi and entering the Mangdang Lake.

"Old Taoist priest, please be merciful and have pity on my disciple's desire to seek the truth. Please save me!"

His voice was hoarse from shouting, he hadn't eaten lunch, and had been running all afternoon, so his greasy face was covered with a thick layer of dirt.

But he had practiced internal skills after all, so he just looked embarrassed and had not completely lost his strength.

"You idiot old Taoist priest! I've been running for the whole afternoon without even a sip of water. I've been chasing you and shouting at you. You idiot, why don't you just give me a response?"

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Liu Laosan knew that his hope was completely over. He stopped acting and started cursing.

When he heard his voice change from begging to shouting and cursing to vent his anger, the old Taoist priest Xiaoyu, who was about to emerge from the ground, shrank back.

"This fellow is indeed a person without the blessing of immortality! I have come to you, but you continue to pretend. Now that your true nature has been exposed, how can I give you the 'immortal fate'?"

If she were a normal "earthly fairy", she would definitely turn around and leave at this moment.

Liu Bang was a man of evil intentions and was not sincere in seeking the truth.

Even if there is some sincerity, it is not for the old Taoist priest or the Tao itself, but for the power of the old Taoist priest, and the power and wealth that power represents.

Xiaoyu is currently also looking for immortality. She is very eager for power, but she desires power not for worldly wealth.

"Oh my, you actually ran to 'Xizeli'. Isn't it nearly two hundred miles away? I am so tired, you old Taoist priest, you cold-hearted and dead ox nose, I am so sincere, but you don't show any help, you deserve to be struck to death by lightning!"

Liu Laosan was muttering curses and looking around.

After determining his position, he ran straight to the northeast.

He used his Qinggong skills, and although they were poor, he didn't make much noise in the end.

Soon Liu Ji arrived at a house with smoke rising from the kitchen. Just as he was about to knock on the door to ask for a drink of water, he suddenly saw a few stupid chickens catching food under the wooden fence outside the yard.

He rolled his eyes, stopped, looked around, and seeing that there was no one around, he picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over, hitting the rooster on the head.

“Puff, fufu~~”

The rooster's head was broken, and it fell to the ground without a sound. It flapped its wings a few times and died.

The other stupid chickens ran away in a hurry. Liu Laosan quickly stepped forward, picked up the big rooster, rubbed the ground with the soles of his straw sandals to completely cover the bloodstains, then turned around and ran away.

He should be familiar with the surroundings.

I found a clear stream directly, drank a few sips of water and washed my face.

Then he took out a clothes knife from his bosom and skillfully slaughtered the chicken. He only cleaned out the internal organs without plucking the feathers carefully. He wrapped the chicken in mud, lit a pile of firewood on the spot, and roasted it inside.

In addition to adding firewood, Liu Laosan also used the "Bei Ming Internal Power" to send gusts of palm wind towards the fire. The flames rose several feet high and the color of the flames turned a little blue.

The temperature of the flame was too high. After a while, the lump of earth in the fire cracked with a "crack".

A strong fragrance wafted out.

Liu Laosan chuckled, retracted his palm wind, and let the remaining charcoal fire burn naturally. He then took off all his clothes, jumped into the stream, and washed all the dust and sweat off his body.

When we returned to the shore refreshed, the beggar's chicken was already cooked.

"Oh, I miscalculated. Now that I'm at the doorstep of Li Duyan's house, I should climb over the wall and steal a pot of rice wine."

Chewing the juicy and fat chicken leg, Liu Laosan felt so happy that his face was bubbling with joy, but he still felt that it was not perfect enough.

He also wanted to break into the house and steal a pot of wine.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck~~~" Suddenly, an old voice called out from not far away.

It was an elderly woman, imitating the crowing of a rooster.

She imitated the crowing of a chicken and called out from time to time, "Luhua, Luhua, where have you gone?"

"Oh no, it's Li Duyan's mother who's here."

Liu Laosan stuck his head out to take a look and saw a pretty old lady holding a green bamboo pole in the setting sun. She was knocking on the thorns on this side and poking the grass on the other side, and was walking towards him quickly.

"Oh, it smells so good~~"

The old lady smelled the strong aroma of beggar's chicken with her tip of nose. Her face changed immediately and she trotted quickly to the west.

"Liu Ji, Liu Laosan from Zhongyang, is that you? Don't run away. You stole my chicken. I'll go find your father tomorrow!"

Liu Laosan had just eaten a chicken thigh, so he naturally didn't want to throw the chicken away and run away.

He held the remaining chicken, huddled up, and ran wildly along the stream.

But he didn't expect that the old lady not only had a sharp nose, but also sharp eyes. She recognized him at a glance.

"Auntie, it's almost dark, how could you still recognize me?" Liu Laosan didn't pretend to be dead and continued to run without covering his head.

He stopped, went back to the fire, and said helplessly.

While talking, he didn't stop chewing the chicken leg.

"It's you!" Old Lady Li raised her bamboo pole and hit him hard, cursing as she hit him. "I didn't recognize you before, but I thought of you. I didn't expect that you really were the one who bluffed me. You are such a beast. You are such a grown man, but you ran into my yard to steal chickens. Do you have any shame? Beast, I will beat you to death."

Liu Laosan cried out in pain, shrugged his shoulders and shrank his body, shouting: "Aunt Li, I haven't been to your Caesar many times, why are you always thinking about me?"

"You dare to tease me? I'm going to beat you to death, you old pervert, you old bastard." Old Mrs. Li whipped him even harder.

Liu Laosan just jumped and dodged, but did not fight back, and shouted: "It's unfair, auntie, although you still have your charm, I have always respected you as my mother.

I'm just curious. Forget it, please don't hit me. I was just passing by your house and saw a rooster with plague, lying on the side of the road spitting, so I picked it up.

It's my bad luck, I'll pay for it, okay? "

God have mercy on him, although Mrs. Li is only four or five years older than him, she looks too old, while he is young and strong.

If you really want to tease a woman, wouldn't it be better to go with the widow Cao, the most beautiful woman in Fengyi Village? As for going crazy with an old loofah?
He was genuinely confused.

He is a "young man" who loves to wander around, running around everywhere.

Today I drink at this house, tomorrow I go to that village for a cockfight. I barely recognize Li Duyan, knowing that he has an old lady, but I have no impression of Old Lady Li at all.

The two had never met each other, so why did Old Lady Li think of him when she saw the chicken thief?
"How much money do you want to compensate me?" When she heard about compensation, Mrs. Li immediately stopped.

"I'll give you all the money I have." Liu Laosan held the chicken in one hand and touched her body with his other greasy hand.

He even touched his crotch, but only found three small copper coins.

"How can this be enough?" Old Mrs. Li screamed.

"Don't worry, I have something else." Liu Laosan handed over his clothes press knife.

"It's still not enough. Take off your coat and give it to my son." said Old Mrs. Li.

In fact, just a two-foot short knife can be exchanged for at least four or five hundred copper coins, enough to buy ten chickens.

"What a loss! If I had known, I should have knocked on the door directly. Your son Li Duyan would have definitely treated me to a meal." Liu Laosan sighed and took off his clothes.

"There's still chicken!" Old Mrs. Li snatched half a chicken from his hand.

Liu Laosan had a bitter look on his face. He bowed to the old lady, turned around and ran away.

"Hehe, the chicken is cooked well!" Old Mrs. Li turned into Taoist Wuyazi, pulled off a chicken leg and chewed it in big bites.

His empty left hand flipped up and down, and the clothes, clothes press and coins in his hand all disappeared.

She used the Five Ghosts Moving Technique to send him to the Li family.

The Great Transporting Escape Technique is more powerful, but its casting distance is limited.

When it comes to delivering or stealing things over long distances, the traditional Five Ghosts Moving Technique is more useful.

Her “Five Ghosts” are actually just Xiaoqiang, a ghost dog, who uses Xiaoqiang’s soul and escape techniques.

When facing Old Lady Li, Liu Laosan still had a somewhat bitter look on his face.

After saying goodbye to Old Lady Li and getting back on the road, Liu Laosan, with his bare chest, hummed a little tune, savoring the taste of the beggar's chicken, feeling happy in his heart and smiling widely.

After running for more than ten miles, the sun had completely set, and the stars and the moon were like light bulbs hanging on a huge curtain. The autumn wind blew through the trees, as if someone was whispering in the dark.

Liu Laosan didn't care at all, and even slowed down to enjoy the caress of the cool breeze.

"Hey, boy!"

When crossing an arch bridge at the entrance of Huaishuli village, an old call suddenly came from the bridge head.

Liu Laosan looked closely and saw a skinny old man sitting on a bridge pier smoking a pipe.

"Old man, you called me?" Liu Laosan said in an unhappy tone with a stern face.

Because the old man was even more rude and directly called him "boy".

"Come here, you brat!" The old man was still very rude, but his attitude was extremely arrogant: he sat on the stone block in a nonchalant manner, with his legs crossed high, and one of his big black feet was wearing a shoe and was shaking.

"What are you doing?" Liu Laosan walked over with a stern look on his face.

The old man's raised leg shook violently, and the shoe on his foot flew out with a "whoosh" and fell into the stream under the bridge.

"Boy, go down and pick up my shoes."

"You old beggar, you stinky bastard, you old idiot, you are looking for death!"

Liu Laosan rushed forward angrily, grabbed the old man by the collar, raised his fist as big as a casserole, and was about to hit the old man in the nose.

But after getting close to the old man, especially grabbing his collar and the two of them facing each other, Liu Laosan noticed how old the old man was: his hair was white, his body was skinny, his cheeks were shriveled, and the wrinkles on his forehead were so deep that they could hurt a child's fingers.

——Is this punch going to cripple or kill him?
Liu Laosan hesitated for only a moment, then let go of his hand, took off his shoes, and hit the old man's face and shoulders hard.

"Pa pa pa pa!" The soles of the shoes fell on the old man like whips and raindrops.

"How dare you tease me? Why don't you open your eyes and take a closer look? I am Mr. Liu Sanye of Pei County!"

Liu Laosan slapped and cursed at the same time.

The old man howled in pain, shouting, "I am an octogenarian, boy, how dare you disrespect me?"

"I salute you! You old and disrespectful bastard, the King of Hell is blind and doesn't want to take you away, old monster. I'm so angry!"

Liu Laosan cursed even more fiercely, but his hands slowed down.

He just stopped beating him with his shoe soles and continued to shake the old man by the collar, scolding him: "Who are you from, you old man? Who is your son? Tell me now, or I will beat him until his face is covered with blood."

"You don't respect the elderly, you're not a wise man, you don't deserve to be immortal~~"

The old man yelled, broke free from Liu Laosan's pull, rolled out of the bridge, and fell down.

Before Liu Laosan could exclaim, his eyes blurred and he lost sight of the old man.

He rubbed his eyes and looked down. The shallow stream was flowing quietly. Not even a splash of water could be seen, let alone a living person.

"What the hell is this, late at night?"

Liu Laosan shuddered and ran away as fast as he could.

After running for three or four miles, the cold wind woke him up, and he suddenly realized, "What did that old crook say just now? I don't respect the elderly, I'm not a sage, and I don't deserve to be immortal - ah, is it the immortal who is testing me?"

"Pah pah pah pah~~~" He slapped himself hard on the face, then turned around and ran back, shouting, "Master, old immortal, please forgive me, I am so rude, please give me another chance~~ I, Liu Ji, am willing to pick up your shoes!!"
