Chapter 27, The Details of Grandpa Beggar
Liu San vividly told the story of how he won the money, leaving Xiao Yazhi dumbfounded.
"Haha, do you admire me? I made one hundred and twenty-three taels of silver in one afternoon!" Liu San became even more proud when he saw Xiao Yazhi's eyes widening.
Xiao Yazhi shook her head and said, "You said before, three o'clock came out every time, and then thirteen o'clock came out?"
Liu San touched his head and said, "Well, it's strange. But in the end, I let the fat old man keep all the money."
Xiao Yazhi stamped her feet and said, "Third brother, you are so confused. Can't you explain such a strange color cup number?"
"What does it mean?" Liu San really didn't understand.
"Grandpa Beggar is probably the fat god." Xiao Yazhi said: "Otherwise, how could you make your dice always come up with three points?"
Liu San came to his senses and said, "But he doesn't admit that he is a god."
"Perhaps Grandpa Beggar has something unspeakable to hide, so he conceals his identity as a god." Xiao Yazhi guessed.

Liu San visited Beizhuang Mazu Temple again.
Grandpa Beggar blinked his round eyes, sighed, and said, "Sure enough, you are here again."
Liu San said with a grimace: "Who told you to look like a human being?"
"Who do you look like?" Grandpa Beggar said in surprise: "I am just me, a lonely old man, who else can pretend to be me?"
"You do look like a person, that person is a god." Liu San didn't know how to express it.
Grandpa Beggar laughed and cursed: "No wonder you always doubt that I am a god, haha. If Grandpa Beggar were a god, would you still be here looking at the ruins of the temple?"
He still refused to admit that he was the immortal. Liu San simply said: "Miss Xiao has also met that fat immortal, and she also said that the immortal is your grandfather beggar."
Grandpa Beggar touched his head and sighed: "Can you please stop focusing on this problem and practice your martial arts well?"
Liu San looked at him strangely, why does Grandpa Beggar care so much about his practice? This is really an interesting thing.
Grandpa Beggar said: "You have now reached the primary level of spiritual consciousness and can detect the existence of mountain gods and river demons. Well, Xishan God always comes to Mazu Temple to compete for tribute. You go and teach Xishan God a lesson for me."
Liu San's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "You still don't admit that you are an immortal? Then how do you know that these immortals compete with each other for tribute?!"
Grandpa Beggar said: "It's not all what Mazu Lin Mo told me in her dream."
He walked into the back room, took out a small bag of silver, weighed it, and said, "Here are one hundred taels of silver. Please help me defeat the God of the West Mountain and tell him not to steal Mazu's tribute again."
Liu San didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This beggar grandfather refused to admit that he was a god, but he knew so many things about gods. However, Liu San still took the money bag. It is always happy to have money.
Liu San said: "Can I fight against the mountain god?"
Grandpa Beggar said: "There is also Xiao Yazhi. If you join forces with her, she is the daughter of Jiuyin. If you two join forces and practice the Heaven-reaching Divine Art together, you can naturally defeat the God of the West Mountain."
Liu San's eyes widened. Grandpa Beggar knew that Xiao Yazhi was the daughter of Jiuyin just like the Fat Immortal! Why didn't Grandpa Beggar admit that he was the Fat Immortal?
"Silly boy, don't think so wildly." Grandpa Beggar said, "I will give you a set of scrolls of the divine power to reach the sky. You can take it back and practice it hard."
As Liu San nodded, he already had a set of formulas in his mind. And suddenly there was a delicate volume in his hand. It was a volume made of solid brass and slowly fell from the mid-air into Liu San's hand.
Grandpa Beggar looked at him with a smile and said: "Ahem. You have got the answer you want. Now, go back and practice well."
Although Grandpa Beggar did not admit verbally that he was the Fat Immortal, he cast an immortal spell and made Liu San have a set of formulas in his mind out of thin air. Using the Immortal Act in this way was tantamount to admitting that he was the Fat Immortal.
Liu San quickly changed his expression and said respectfully: "Thank you, Grandpa Beggar, for your help."
Grandpa Beggar waved his hand and was too lazy to talk anymore. Liu San left the Mazu Temple in a wise manner.
