Starting as a Blind Beggar and Becoming a God

Chapter 49 ShushanChapter 49 Shushan

”Old Cow, you have once again betrayed my trust in you.”

”Tell me, how long have we been turning this time?”

”Moo.” (It seems to be almost two months now, so it’s not a big problem.)
Fortunately, it only took Chen Huaian and Lao Niu a few hours to walk out of the yellow sand land.

I thought the journey ahead would be smooth sailing, but I never expected that this was just the beginning of a disaster.

At first, they were walking smoothly, but soon they encountered a steep cliff and the old cow couldn’t climb up, so they had to take a detour.

They first crossed a turbulent river and walked through thorny bushes, which were not a big deal. However, after they took a detour, the old cow was a little lost, so now they were lost again...

”Do you know where we are now?”

”Moo.” (How can I know where we are if I can’t even find the way?)

Chen Huaian: “…”

”Moo.” (But don’t worry, I think I found the way, follow me.)
”Are you sure?” Chen Huaian asked.

”Moo.” (Very sure.)
”Walk.”

Chen Huaian said again and again that the old cow had betrayed his trust, but every time the old cow said it had found the way again, he still believed the old cow without hesitation and followed it.

Of course, if nothing unexpected happens this time, something unexpected will happen, and the old cow will get lost again...

Chen Huaian was already used to it, so he simply took out his flute and played ”Wu Gui” while walking leisurely with Lao Niu. The road was still long anyway, so it was better to walk slowly, play music along the way and appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers.

He played less music these days because he now preferred to appreciate the scenery along the way. The beautiful mountains and rivers were really beautiful to accompany him all the way.

……

Chen Huaian and Lao Niu were lost for five months and finally arrived at a county town - Kaiwa County.

This is a county town at the foot of Mount Shu. I don’t know if it’s because this is Mount Shu, there are many practitioners, but when Chen Huaian walks on the street he can feel several masters with the strength of the ninth level of true Qi.

”This place is really blessed with talented people. You can easily meet someone who has reached the ninth level of True Qi just by walking down the street.”

Judging from the map, this place no longer belongs to the Yuan Dynasty. In simple terms, this place does not belong to any dynasty and is a unique existence in this world.

Even though Chen Huaian and his companions only walked for six months, their speed was extremely fast. If ordinary people were to walk this distance, it would take them at least five or six years to reach Shushan.

Although they took a detour, it did not affect their speed.

”Moo.” (I want to eat beef.)
”I have only three cents...”

”Moo.” (No need to eat, let’s find a place to stay first.

Chen Huaian shook his head slightly when he heard Lao Niu’s words and said, ”We may not even have enough money to live in.”

”I’d better perform for now. If there’s any reward, I might be able to find a place to stay tonight.”

Chen Huaian said that he felt these people might not come to appreciate his music, and he thought these people might focus on cultivation.

Although Chen Huaian thought so in his heart, he still found a place and played Wugui. When he blew towards the song, the melody of Wugui sounded, and he realized that he had underestimated the power of the song given by the system. Before he finished playing a song, the money in front of him was piled up with rewards. Although Chen Huaian’s face showed no expression, he was very happy in his heart. He was not greedy for money, but because the money from the rewards was enough for his expenses in the next few days, and even a lot more.

“The music played by this blind man is really beautiful.

“The artistic conception is very profound.”

”Stop talking now. I’m thinking of my deceased friend.”

……

Those people stopped to listen to Chen Huaian’s music, each with their own feelings. Chen Huaian was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that these practitioners couldn’t resist the song ”Wu Gui”. In this situation, Chen Huaian remembered the famous saying, ”System products must be high-quality.”

After the song was over, many people shouted loudly for Chen Huaian to play another one. Chen Huaian was never a person who spoiled the fun. He responded to the crowd’s request and played another song. However, there were obviously fewer people who gave him tips this time. But Chen Huaian was already content. At least he wouldn’t have to go hungry for the next few days.

Not long after, Chen Huaian finished playing another song. This time he bowed his hands and apologized, saying, ”I’m sorry, everyone. I haven’t eaten yet and I’m not strong enough to play the song. I hope you can forgive me.”

After Chen Huaian finished speaking, many people waved their hands and left, but didn’t say much. Chen Huaian played another song for them even though he was hungry. What else could they ask for?

Chen Huaian picked up the money on the ground and took Lao Niu to a pub. At this moment, he was very rich.

”Moo!” (Beef, beef! I want five pounds, five pounds!)

”My son, bring me eight pounds of beef and a jar of good wine.”

The boy came up to Chen Huaian with a smile. In fact, he had noticed Chen Huaian when he entered the room. How could a blind man and a cow be able to come here and be an ordinary person?

He wrote down what Chen Huaian wanted, trotted away, and went to get food for Chen Huaian.

Soon, the waiter brought the eight pounds of beef and a jar of good wine that Chen Huaian ordered.

”Sir, this is the best wine I have. I guarantee you will like it.”

”Okay, thank you for your help then.” Chen Huaian said.

The waiter also walked away tactfully, and Chen Huaian and Lao Niu immediately started to eat with relish. When the others saw Lao Niu also eating beef, there was not much strangeness in their eyes, but rather some admiration for Lao Niu.

It was also the first time for them to see a cow eating beef. However, they had seen many more strange things. Compared with other strange things they had seen, the fact that the old cow ate beef did not seem surprising at this moment.

The old cow quickly finished its five pounds of beef. It looked at the three pounds of beef in Chen Huaian’s bowl with its mouth watering. Seeing this, Chen Huaian smiled and shook his head slightly.

”There’s really nothing I can do about you.”

”Waiter, bring another three pounds of beef.”

”Moo.” (You still understand me.)
”Your saliva is almost flowing into my bowl...”

The waiter was very quick and soon brought another three pounds of beef. Chen Huaian ignored the old cow and started eating the beef in his bowl.

He drank a glass of wine, and it tasted much better than the wine sold in Longchang County, but it was still turbid and not particularly strong.

”I really need to find an opportunity to brew my own wine. The taste of this wine is still a bit lacking.” Chen Huaian said in his heart.

”Hey, are you confident that Shushan will recruit disciples this time?”

”Stop talking about it, it’s already the third year and I still haven’t been selected.”

”It’s too strict. I feel like I might not be selected this year.”

”It’s going to start the day after tomorrow, so I should improve my strength first. What if I make a breakthrough?”

”Makes sense.”

……

People in the tavern were talking to each other, and Chen Huaian was listening on the side, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

”Recruiting disciples? Interesting.”
