However, Song Laizi is not a person without discernment, so he will naturally not refute the old beggar's nonsense.
"Old sir, your wine gourd is so awesome, so I can't have it anymore!"
Song Leizi apologized and said with a smile: "It's just that if you want me to be your apprentice, I can tell you that I won't go out begging with you! You don't know that I have a son and a daughter. After some time,
One day, I will be a grandfather. If I go begging with you, I won’t be able to leave home!"
"How about this? I'll be your apprentice and your old man will stay in our home. How about I take care of you in your old age?"
Song Laizi's eyes rolled.
In his opinion, he was just the old beggar's apprentice in name only, and he didn't suffer any loss. Anyway, he would be providing for the old beggar in his old age.
After all, this old beggar looks to be at least seventy or eighty years old. How many years can he live?
"Old beggar, I'm used to wandering around. I can't live anywhere!" The old beggar waved his hand.
"Forget it, your brewing recipe is good, but I can't let go of my family, let alone my wife!"
Song Laizi shrugged. Although he was not a wealthy man, he was still a prominent figure in the town. He was not that stupid if he was asked to live a miserable life with a beggar.
"You kid don't want to know who I am?" the old beggar took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
"Even if you are the leader of the beggars, I won't care. Old sir, I'm not talking about you. You have already lived a long time and can live for several years. Haven't you ever thought about finding a place to enjoy your life in peace?
How many years?"
Song Laizi could not help but persuade the old beggar with earnest words.
There is no way, who knows that the old beggar's wine tastes really good. Once he can open a winery, the business will definitely be good.
"Haha, do you know how long I have lived?" The old beggar laughed.
"Anyway, it won't be more than a hundred years!!!" Song Laizi said without thinking.
"One hundred?" The old beggar shook his head slowly and couldn't help but take a sip of wine. "A hundred years is too short, it only takes a blink of an eye!"
Song Leizi felt that the little old man was exaggerating more and more. One time he said that a wine gourd could hold a river, and the next time he said that a hundred years was too short.
"How many years have you lived, old gentleman?" Song Laizi couldn't help but ask.
"More than ten thousand years!" the old beggar said with a smile full of yellow teeth.
"Old sir, you are drunk!"
Song Leizi felt that it was not the old beggar who was drunk, but that he was stupid for chatting with an old drunkard.
You are still more than ten thousand years old, why don’t you say that you are a ten thousand year old bastard!
But this cannot be said directly.
However, what puzzled Song Laizi was that it seemed that the old beggar had been drinking heavily, but the wine gourd had not been finished yet.
After all, the wine gourd is only that big. He drank more than ten glasses just now, so logically it should be gone.
Or is it that the old beggar didn't drink at all just now, but pretended to drink there?
"Don't you believe it?" the old beggar said with a smile.
"Believe it, how could I not believe it? In my opinion, the old gentleman is a flying immortal in the sky." Although Song Laizi said this, there was a tone of "I believe you" in and out of his words.
"Wake it up for me!"
The old beggar laughed and shook his head. Suddenly he raised his hand, and the whole carriage suddenly rose up strangely.
"My wife!!"
Song Leizi was startled, and he hurriedly lay down on the carriage, his wretched face turned pale with fright.
"Get down!"
At this time, a calm voice came out, and the carriage slowly fell from the sky. "Do you believe it now?"
The old beggar took a leisurely sip of wine.
"Old sir, are you really a fairy?"
Song Laizi reacted and immediately understood that the reason why the carriage could fly just now was because of the old beggar's trick.
"I am not an immortal. If I become an immortal, how can I have the freedom of being a mortal?"
The old beggar picked up the wine gourd and drank the wine. Although his tone of voice was plain, for some reason Song Laizi sounded extremely free and domineering.
However, Song Leizi is all too familiar with this feeling.
I remember when he was drunk, he felt that he was invincible and the whole Wei Dynasty surrendered at his feet.
Of course, he was just bragging, but this old beggar really had that ability.
"Old sir, no, Immortal, what offense did the boy have just now? Please forgive me!"
Song Laizi suddenly panicked. You must know that he had drunk a lot of wine from the old beggar just now.
"Don't be so afraid, I won't eat you. Besides, old beggar, I still prefer to hear you call me little old man!" The old beggar smiled half-heartedly.
"Don't dare!"
Song Leizi hurriedly shook his head. Are you kidding? I didn't know that this old beggar was an immortal before. If he had known, he wouldn't have dared even if he had a hundred courages.
"Boy, after talking for so long, I still don't know your name?" the old beggar asked with a smile.
"Immortal, just call me Song Leizi. It's just the same name. It doesn't make any difference whatever you call me!!" Song Lezi said immediately.
"A good name is just a title, Mr. Song, are you willing to be my disciple now?" the old beggar said with a smile.
"Immortal, didn't you say that spiritual roots are needed to cultivate immortality? Can I practice without spiritual roots?"
Song Laizi couldn't help but be confused.
In the past, the Tianxuan Sect would come to the village to recruit disciples every ten years or so, but they did not do so until they accepted Dani and Song Xiaochun. Song Laizi had been tested before and did not have any spiritual roots.
"Although you don't have spiritual roots, your body has been tempered by medicinal materials for decades and has become extremely tough. It is suitable for body refining techniques!" The old beggar took a sip of wine and said calmly.
"The art of body refining? Immortal, is it the kind that can train every part of the body to a great extent?" Song Laizi's eyes lit up.
"You're right!"
The old beggar nodded, although he thought Song Leizi's words were a bit strange, and why his voice sounded so excited.
"But I have become an immortal with you, do I have to leave with you?" Song Laizi suddenly looked hesitant.
"Well, although we, the body refiners, practice to enter the Tao with our bodies, we also need the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cleanse the physical body. The spiritual energy here is too weak!" the old beggar said in a calm tone.
"Then forget it!" Song Leizi refused without even thinking.
The old beggar was slightly startled.
When Song Leizi refused before, it could be said that Song Leizi didn't know who he was, but now everyone knows that he is not an ordinary person, so why did he still refuse?
"Song boy, do you understand how many people in the world want to worship me as their teacher? Even those combined, Mahayana monks cannot envy me!"
The old beggar's tone couldn't help but become a little serious.
"Immortal, I don't know what combination and Mahayana are, but let me leave with you. I can't do it. I can't let go of this place, let alone my family and my wife!"
