Living with My Nurse Stepmother - Chapter 961 The Old Beggar

Although Ye Tian knew that this kind of person was full of empty talk and that not a single word of his statement was true, he still couldn't help but ask, "Are all the people in the Immortal Realm gods?"
“Of course,” Zhou Tao said. “Any deity in the celestial realm has the power to cover the sky with one hand, something that we mortals can only dream of. I’ve heard that the two Ming Dynasty novels, Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods, are actually based on the real celestial realm. It’s just that they were processed and adapted by the authors, which is why they are what they are today.”
"Master Zhou... how did you meet Master Ziyu?" Ye Tian asked.
“That’s a long story,” Zhou Tao said. “Back then, I was just a seven or eight-year-old kid living in a small alley in Yanjing. Yanjing wasn’t exactly small, but it wasn’t that big either. I always saw a crazy old beggar wandering around our alley. He spoke in a language no one could understand and sang songs no one could understand. The police found him many times, saying they wanted to send him home. But they couldn’t find out his identity, and he couldn’t say it himself. The police were kind and sent him to an orphanage. But within half a day, the old beggar ran away. And no matter if it was a mental hospital, a prison, or any other place, the old man could always escape quickly. Then he would go back to the alley and continue begging. I felt sorry for him back then, so I often gave him food. Once, in winter, I even stole a quilt from home for him to cover himself with. My mother beat me many times because of that quilt, but she never took it back. She thought that the old man was crazy, and the quilt he had covered himself with must also be sick…”
Zhou Tao said, "If the story ended here, I wouldn't have known who the old beggar was. But something happened later that changed my life. That day, I saw four people dressed in black robes searching for someone. They had long braids down their backs, as if they had traveled from the Qing Dynasty. Of course, the word 'time travel' didn't exist back then. I was quite young then and didn't know what fear was. Although everyone else was avoiding them, I recklessly jumped up and asked them, 'Who are you looking for?'"
One of the men in black chuckled, seemingly kindly, but a sinister grin revealed his yellowed teeth. He said, "Little friend, have you seen a crazy old beggar? We heard he's been here the whole time. If you've seen him, tell us, and we won't treat you badly..."
Even if I were stupid, I could tell at this point that they weren't good people, because his sinister grin looked like something out of a storybook. I knew they weren't after that old beggar. So I said, "No... I don't know him..."
I was too young to lie, and the four men clearly saw through my lie. So they knelt down and said to me, "Child, children can't lie. A child who lies... might get carried away by a wolf."
He revealed sharp teeth as he spoke, like a vampire from legends. I was terrified; my whole body trembled. I burst into tears, crying, "No... I don't want to be carried off by wolves..."
Haha, how many children actually believe the stories their parents told them when they were young? I was just speaking without thinking. I cried, I cried terribly. But by then I had made up my mind that even if I died, I would never reveal the old beggar's whereabouts. Because I could tell that they would never treat that old beggar well.
So I stubbornly insisted that although I had seen the old beggar, I didn't know him at all. Seeing my stance, he couldn't do anything about it for a moment. One of the men in black grew impatient and said, "Third brother, why waste words with him? Just slap him to death!"
The third brother nodded and said to me, "Hehe, child, I originally intended to spare your life, but now that I've let you go, I'm afraid you'll go and inform that old beggar. Child, don't blame me for being ruthless. Go to another world and complain to that Purple Jade Immortal. Don't worry, he'll come down to join you soon."
As he spoke, the third brother grabbed me, raised his hand, and was about to slap me on the head. Just as he was about to strike, a cold voice suddenly came from behind: 'Four grown men committing such atrocities against a child, aren't you ashamed!'
I recognized the voice. It was the voice of the old beggar who always sat in the corner begging, the one who used to ramble on and on. But now his voice was extremely calm and rational; where was his previous madman state?
Overjoyed, I turned around and saw the old beggar standing before us. However, he wasn't wearing beggar's clothes anymore; instead, he was dressed in a Taoist robe. At the time, I didn't recognize the robe, but now I think it must have been a crane-feather cloak. He held a whisk, wore cloud-walking boots, and a towering crown. He exuded an air of otherworldly elegance.
The four men in black seemed terrified of him and paid no heed to the old Taoist priest's words, only retreating. The old Taoist priest remained silent, following the four men to a secluded spot.
Back then, Beijing wasn't as bustling as it is now, surrounded by skyscrapers. Even in the third and fourth ring roads, you could often see empty spaces. The third brother still held me tightly by the collar, dragging me to an open space in the suburbs. He threw me heavily to the ground. I struggled to my feet, hiding behind the old Taoist priest the whole way.
I saw the leader of the men in black say, "Master Ziyu, we brothers have searched the whole world but couldn't find a trace of you. We never imagined you, you little bastard, would be hiding in plain sight, begging here. Heh, how's life, living on dew and wind?"
Only then did I realize that this old beggar was actually the name of an immortal. The Purple Jade Immortal? I'd never heard of such a person among the immortals!
As I was wondering what was going on, I heard Master Ziyu sneer: 'You think I hid because I was afraid of you? Heh, I'm just a remnant of my life. Having fallen to the mortal realm, I can't bear to kill any more. I hid from you only to avoid a few more souls falling under my sword. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful, still coming to me to die.'
"How arrogant!" said the leader of the men in black. "True Master Ziyu, although you still hold the title of True Master, you have been rejected by the Immortal Sect. Privately accepting mortals as disciples is a grave taboo in the Immortal Sect, yet you dared to brazenly bring that child back to the sect. Heh... no wonder the sect leader wants you dead."
Master Ziyu said, "Whether you're a mortal or an immortal, you're just deceiving yourself. Don't forget, even we so-called immortals can't escape birth, aging, sickness, and death. We just live a little longer than ordinary people."
The leader of the men in black said, "Heh heh, no matter what, you've committed a grave taboo against the immortal sect by taking a mortal as your disciple! We are acting on the orders of our sect leader to execute this traitor!"
Master Ziyu merely sneered and said, "Fine, since that's the case, I'd like to see what kind of good-for-nothings you have that you can kill me!"
Then they started fighting.
At the time, I was very worried about whether Master Ziyu could fight four opponents alone, but later events proved that my worries were completely unnecessary. I saw four men in black gesturing wildly with their fingers in the distance, streams of true energy hissing as they rushed towards Master Ziyu. But Master Ziyu completely ignored their attacks. He conjured a wall of true energy in front of him, blocking the four men's thrusting true energy.
The four men, frustrated by their repeated failures, began to pat each other on the back, gathering their inner energy around their leader. They then conjured a white paper sword from the leader's fingertips, which pierced through the wall in front of Master Ziyu.
Just as I was worrying about Master Ziyu's safety, he flicked his whisk. In the blink of an eye, before I could even see what happened, all four of them collapsed to the ground. Their bodies were covered in red spots, as if they had been pricked by a thousand needles. They lay motionless on the ground, clearly dead.
I swear I've never seen a battle like this in my entire life. Back then, I'd only seen black-and-white war movies, and I always thought battles were just duels between rifles and American submachine guns. I never imagined someone could unleash a sword of true energy with the power of a bullet from their fingertips, much less that someone could kill four people with a single flick of their whisk. And what's more, those four were just over ten meters away from Master Ziyu! What kind of power is this? I simply can't imagine it, and I dare not imagine it…
I mustered my courage and ran forward to examine the injuries of the four men. They were all dead; their bodies were stiff.
I immediately knelt before Master Ziyang, repeatedly calling him "Master" and begging him to accept me as his disciple. Everything he possessed was a power everyone dreamed of in my time. There were still many legends about immortals and ghosts. But none of those legends were as real as what I had witnessed firsthand. I felt that if I could learn even one percent of Master Ziyu's abilities, I could look down upon the world.
At the time, I didn't think much of it; I just thought Master Ziyu's methods were very skillful and miraculous. So I knelt and kowtowed dozens of times, until my forehead was swollen. Master Ziyu initially let me kowtow, seemingly wanting to test my sincerity. Only after my head was bleeding did he help me up and say, "I can see that you sincerely want to become my disciple and learn martial arts."
I said, "Yes."
He asked me, 'What do you want to learn?'
I said, "I will defeat all the bad people in the world, just like my master."
He said, "It's not that I don't want to teach you, it's just that you don't have the talent for cultivating immortality, what's called the 'immortal's bearing.' It's very difficult for someone cultivating immortality to succeed without such a bearing. You have good comprehension, and you might become a person of great wisdom and intelligence in the future. So… I can pass on some ancient, lost secret techniques to you, but as for others, I dare not say…"
