Ah Man had never seen a play since she was a child, so she squatted down and started discussing with the beggar seriously.
Aman said: "Will there be a worldly master and a formation of eighteen bronze men in the play? I have never seen it."
The old beggar didn't even raise his eyelids, and added in a hoarse voice: "You haven't read it, haven't you heard of storytellers? Storytellers are the best. No, there is a storyteller at the head of the banyan tree who is blowing it up to the sky."
Aman was a little interested and asked: "What story are you talking about?"
The old beggar swept his clothes, hunched over, and stood up and said, "Who knows? I didn't listen. I guess they were talking about how the Cang Wolf King was so wise and powerful that he subdued the Cang Wolf Dogs. The master is just wandering around in the market, it's useless."
The story of the land of martial arts."
After saying that, the old beggar ignored Aman blinking his eyes and listened with great interest, expecting him to say more. The old beggar drove Aman away like a chicken and duck and said: "Go, go, go to the banyan tree if you like to listen."
Go and listen to a book."
No one paid attention. Ye Ying, who was standing quietly by the side, flashed his eyes, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
However, just when Yeying drew his knife and put it on the old beggar's neck, Aman jumped up to the old beggar with a smile.
She didn't seem to mind that the old beggar was dirty and smelly. She hugged the old beggar's shoulders and said, "I just like what you have to say."
The old beggar felt the strength of Aman's hold on his shoulders, raised his lips imperceptibly, and looked at Aman with squinted eyes.
The old beggar flicked his arm and said, "Go, I'm not a banyan tree storyteller." However, Ah Man was very strong, and the old beggar couldn't get rid of Ah Man no matter what.
So, the old beggar stooped and coughed several times. He made an excuse to avoid Ah Man, and then touched his bamboo stick. However, Ah Man still refused to let go.
The old beggar said: "Just do your best and let me beg. I work hard and don't have enough to eat three times a day. Stop talking!"
So Ah Man followed the instructions and let go of the old beggar, letting him get his bamboo stick and the plate used for begging.
Then, Ah Man raised his hands and watched the beggar's performance at leisure.
Aman said: "My father-in-law said he was going to beg. Don't you think that you have already found a way out and met a noble person? How can you ignore the ready-made benefactors and seek the distant ones instead of the near ones?"
The old beggar left in no hurry. However, he did not turn around to look at Aman. The old beggar sneered and said, "Hmph, could it be that the noble person you talk about is yourself?"
Ah Man also smiled. She stretched out her hand, pointed at Ye Ying behind her, and said: "Of course it's not me, it's him! Young Master, do you think so?"
Ye Ying, who was suddenly treated as a young master:... was speechless.
Yeying touched the lapel of his clothes, and then took out a handful of warm broken silver from his arms - this was the salary he had just received after completing his mission yesterday. Unexpectedly, he still had it in his arms.
If you don't have time to spend it, it will be confiscated.
What can he do? If the master says he has it, then he has to have it, right? Otherwise, how can he get along with this master in the future? He has a paralyzed face and is unlovable.
So Ye Ying put the handful of broken silver into the beggar's plate without any resistance. The old beggar weighed the plate and said, "That's it? It's not enough for me to give you a tooth!"
Ye Ying wanted to draw the sword again, but Ah Man cleverly moved to block the beggar.
Ah Man didn't smile playfully this time, nor did he hug him.
Aman changed back to his original cool face.
Ah Man looked at the old beggar coldly and said, "In this world, you rely on your strength to make a living."
While he was talking, Ah Man had already taken action against the old beggar. The old beggar was not polite and rose up in three blows, revealing his true colors.
It turned out that the old beggar was the legendary master who was good at using the dog-beating stick.
Ah Man didn't have a long stick in his hand, so after a few moves with the beggar, he could only fight to a draw. If he continued to fight, Ah Man estimated that he might be at a disadvantage. So, Ah Man cleverly stopped in time.
.
Ah Man noticed that the beggar's stick technique did have its merits. For the unorganized group attack, the dog-beating stick technique was obviously better. Probably, this was the practical experience he had accumulated from his years of begging.
Experience it.
Of course, Ah Man also has practical experience, but after all, the old beggar's qualifications are there. In this regard, Ah Man still admires him. Therefore, it is still necessary to gain more from the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.
Ah Man respected people with strength from the bottom of his heart. So Ah Man lowered his attitude again and said to the old beggar: "Old man, how about you teach me your dog-beating stick technique?"
"
The old beggar sneered lightly and said: "With your martial arts skills, you are enough to be a female bodyguard. My moves are just casual, just for beating dogs. How can you be like you?"
Where are your noble eyes?"
Yeying:...He really wants to say that he is the real male bodyguard, okay?
Ye Ying stepped forward and said solemnly: "What if your Majesty recommends her?"
The old beggar just turned around and looked up and down at Aman and Yeying.
The old beggar's sarcasm became even more intense: "How can our wise and mighty Majesty like us beggars? Stop joking. Calling you nobles is a real honor. Let me ask you, how can there be real nobles?
Come and chat with me, an old beggar, in a shabby alley. Go, go, don’t delay my begging. With the little you gave me just now, I can’t even drink!"
Upon seeing this, Aman took out a hairpin from his bag without saying a word and put it in the old beggar's hand.
Fortunately, she had also been poor and knew the importance of money. Although in the harem, the extraneous things given to her by the Canglang King were too cumbersome for her to wear, but she packed all the gold and silver jewelry into her bag. Unexpectedly
, this time it actually comes in handy.
The old beggar was stunned. As soon as he saw the hairpin, he knew that it was not an ordinary thing and could not be found in the palace.
The old beggar asked: "These... I'm afraid you didn't steal them, right?"
Yeying showed his sword again. This time, Aman did not stop him. Instead of wasting time chattering here, it is better to solve it roughly. Sometimes, force is really a good thing.
If the old beggar still had doubts when he saw the hairpin, then when he saw Ye Ying's fine sword, he was already somewhat convinced.
Just when Ah Man thought that the old beggar was about to relent, he didn't expect that the old beggar said with a bohemian expression: "If it is really a noble person recommended by your Majesty, then it will be even worse. You'd better not come to treat me badly."
Ye Ying's sword has been unsheathed. With a flash of his eyes, he threatened the old beggar and said, "Aren't you afraid that if you disobey His Majesty's will, His Majesty will have someone deal with you?"
The old beggar looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. He said confidently: "There is no one in the world who is not the king. If your Majesty wants to give an order, I will naturally not be able to escape. Now, since your Majesty has not given an order, I will be my beggar."
Who have I hindered? How could your wise and mighty Majesty oppress poor people like me? Hmph!"
"You..." Ye Ying was speechless because the Cang Wolf King did not give the order.
Ah Man understands that this old beggar is not afraid of anything, and he doesn't tolerate hard or soft things. Whether he teaches or not really depends on his mood.
So Aman tried to lower her posture and try to win the old beggar's empathy.
Ah Man said to the old beggar: "To be honest, I was not a noble person originally. I came from a mass grave and competed with evil dogs for food all the year round."
Hearing this, Ye Ying on the side gave Ah Man a deep look. He didn't know that his master actually had such a tragic past. Hearing this, he wanted to take money out of his pocket again.
The old beggar also looked at Aman intently, then thoughtfully.
Ah Man went on to say: "It just so happens that I am also good at using a stick. I didn't have a weapon just now. If I had a long stick, my martial arts skills would definitely not be inferior to yours. Since you are unwilling to teach me, let's learn from each other.
,how?"
So the old beggar threw away his bamboo pole and said, "Take it, let's dance a few moves and see."
With the long stick in hand, Aman danced freely. At first, it was the moves used by the stick monk secretly learned from the Treasure Temple. Then, it was the exclusive true inheritance of Grandpa Whitebeard. Finally, there were Aman's own improved moves and
Original. However, due to space restrictions, many moves were not used vividly. Some of the big moves were actually deliberately restrained.
There are more and more people watching at the entrance of the alley, all of whom came from the place where the banyan tree is listening to books. There is a real stunt performance on site, which is more exciting than what is written in the book.
The old beggar nodded repeatedly as he watched. Occasionally he would make a few comments, pointing out that if he wanted to dance here and there, it would be better if he wanted to dance. After all, it is only bystanders who can see clearly, so the old beggar looked like an expert.
After receiving some guidance from the old beggar, Ah Man danced even more brilliantly, winning bursts of cheers and applause from those around him.
The old beggar even started to peel peanuts and walnuts. He looked like a professional at eating melons. After eating, the peanut shells, walnut cores, and even watermelon rinds were all thrown at Ah Man.
However, Ah Man waved the bamboo pole like Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, knocking away all the garbage nearby. Then, he won a burst of applause from the whole hall.
After the dance, Ah Man thrust his stick into the ground and put his hand on his hip, looking heroic and heroic, without even taking a breath.
The old beggar stood up, waving his cattail leaf fan, and analyzed: "At first glance, your moves should come from the orthodox sect. Hiss... let me think about it... I'm afraid it comes from the stick monk in the Zangbao Temple in Xiyi Kingdom.
Twelve forms?”
Ah Man cupped his fists and said, "I have a good sense!"
The old beggar continued his analysis: "But after the unique move of the Treasure Temple, I rarely see the following moves. This reminds me of the rumored founder of the Treasure Temple who has passed away long ago. Is this his unique secret skill?"
Ah Man clasped his fists and lowered his eyes again, neither saying yes nor no.
The old beggar frowned and continued: "However, I can't say for sure about what comes after. It can be said to be unseen and unheard of. I don't know where the girl's moves come from? I think it's because I have lived for so many years and am ignorant.
