Two security guards escorted Li Mu out of the station and pushed him onto the road, saying viciously, "Boy, no matter how you got into our town, don't let us see you again at this station, or we'll beat you up every time we see you!"
"Ah~! I'm so pissed off! When I recover, you will all pay the price!" Li Mu said harshly, but eventually left in disappointment. The situation was stronger than the man. He had lived for nearly 100,000 years and understood deeply that a hero would not suffer a loss in front of him. Since he couldn't win, he could only give up now.
"Hey~"
"Hey~ I'm calling you, beggar brother."
Li Mu turned around and found a man dressed similarly to him but with unkempt hair and a dirty face squatting on the side of the road. He seemed to be a real beggar. Was he calling him?
"Are you calling me?" Li Mu pointed at himself.
"Who else could it be? Look around you, are there any other beggars besides you and me?" the beggar man said unhappily.
"Nima, say it again, I'm not a beggar!" Li Mu shouted angrily.
"Hey~? Is it the new unlucky guy?" The man suddenly became interested. He stood up, lifted the long hair in front of his face, and looked at Li Mu carefully.
"Hmm~?" Li Mu was slightly stunned. The other party's words contained a lot of information!
"Are you from there too?" Li Mu asked tentatively in a low voice.
"Haha, little brother, there's no need to hide it. Everyone knows that we are from another world." The beggar man laughed, "How long have you been here? Are you not used to it? You used to be high up, but now you are at the bottom of the society."
Li Mu actually saw a hint of excitement in the beggar's eyes, which made his scalp tingle. Could he be a psychopath?
"I know what you're thinking. You think I'm a psychopath, right? Haha~ Little brother, don't think too much. Every unlucky newcomer is like this. You'll get used to it after staying here for a long time."
"Hehe~" Li Mu smiled faintly.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but let's call it a day. Let's go and have a drink! I'll welcome you!" The beggar man looked very happy. After he finished speaking, he began to pack up the begging tools placed on the roadside - a broken bowl, along with a few pieces of Chaos Stone and a few crumpled banknotes in the bowl, which he put into a cloth bag.
Then he pulled Li Mu up and left. Although Li Mu suspected that the beggar's mind was a little abnormal, in order to understand this world as soon as possible, he still did not refuse the beggar's invitation. Another reason was that he was afraid that if he refused the beggar, the beggar would suddenly go crazy and beat him. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't beat him.
Not long after, the beggar took Li Mu and sneaked into a large restaurant, and entered a private room with ease. It was not dinner time, so there were not many people in the restaurant. In addition, the beggar was very careful, so their entry did not attract the attention of others.
The waiter followed in and the beggar man quickly ordered food and wine.
"Haha, little brother, this is the first lesson I'm teaching you. We beggars can't be too high-profile, otherwise it will be difficult to beg in the future." said the beggar man.
Li Mu was almost laughing at his anger. He tried to calm down and then asked, "Senior..."
"Shh~" The beggar man quickly covered Li Mu's mouth and whispered, "You want to kill me! In this world, only warriors can bear the title of senior. Remember, don't yell at me in the future! My name is Bai Tao, just call me Lao Bai from now on."
"Okay, Lao Bai, what realm were you in before?" Li Mu asked helplessly.
"Me? Haha, it seems to be the Eternal Immortal Ancestor? It's been too long, I can't remember." Beggar Bai Tao looked indifferent.
"So strong?" Li Mu was shocked. The beggar in front of him was actually two realms higher than him!
"You are an Eternal Immortal Ancestor, why would you...?"
"Be a beggar? Haha~ What's the big deal? A real man can bend and stretch. I don't have the strength now, so I can only accept my fate. If I didn't have this awareness, I wouldn't have been able to cultivate to the Eternal Immortal Ancestor." Bai Tao laughed. The road of cultivation is full of strong people. Kill gods and Buddhas? Bullshit! Unless you have a strong family to protect you, otherwise you would have been strangled in the cradle if you were too arrogant. You are stronger than others. Even when he was the Eternal Immortal Ancestor in that world, if he met someone with a higher realm, he would have to admit defeat.
"How can this be confused?"
"Do you think that these people are all mortals, so they are not worthy of stepping on you? Haha, little brother, you still don't understand. When we are strong, we can bully the weak at will. When we are weak, others can naturally bully us at will. In this world, we are weak, and at the bottom of the society. What if you don't accept it?"
Bai Tao paused, smiled bitterly and said, "I had the same idea as you back then. I resisted, but was covered in wounds and starved every day. I also thought about just dying, rather than suffering this humiliation. But you know what? We can't die here. We are enlightened monks. Even if we die, we can still be resurrected! Our lifespan is endless."
Li Mu was silent for a while before he continued to ask: "Didn't the Taoist fruit of the cultivator who disappeared in the Chaos Mine also disappear with it?"
"I don't know about that. Anyway, we can't die here. I tried many times. It hurts, but it's impossible to die. And if we don't eat, we will be hungry, and being hungry is so uncomfortable... Forget it, if you insist on not changing your ways, you will experience it in the future." Bai Tao said.
Upon hearing this, Li Mu fell into deep thought, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
"My dear brother, as someone who has been through this, I advise you to be more open-minded. Just think of the good times in the past as a dream. If you keep thinking about the past, it will be a torture for you," Bai Tao counselled.
"Let's eat, little brother. As a fellow villager, I'll treat you to this meal, but you have to figure out the next meal yourself. You have to cherish it, otherwise as a newcomer, you will inevitably go hungry in the days ahead." After Bai Tao said this, he grabbed a chicken leg and started to eat it without caring whether Li Mu ate it or not.
From time to time, he would pour a bowl of wine and toast to Li Mu. Of course, this was also one-sided because Li Mu was still in a daze.
Soon, Bai Tao finished all the food on the table and drank up the last drop of wine, without Li Mu touching a single bite of his chopsticks.
He burped, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth, and said to Li Mu, "Little brother, as an old man, I have fulfilled my duty. Don't blame me if you didn't eat!"
Li Mu smiled bitterly. He was in no mood to drink or eat. He took a deep breath and said, "Old Bai, tell me about this world."
