Chapter 363 Receive Worship

Returning to the inn, the ashen-faced Chu Chouli lowered his head.

"That old brat is weird." He kept mumbling these words, obviously still harboring a grudge against the wooden chest.

Xu Han, who was sitting on the bed, rolled his eyes at Chu Chouli. The old man naturally had his own oddities. Chu Chouli was no longer good, but he had some cultivation. He was unable to shake the wooden box in the slightest. There was no need for Chu Chouli to say anything about this situation. Xu Han could see it clearly.

"Sigh, Xiao Han, do you think there are treasures in that old brat's chest?" Chu Chouli moved closer to Xu Han at that time and said with a salivating expression.

"Yes," Xu Han replied angrily. "Do you dare to steal it?"

"Eh" Chu Chouli was instantly dumbfounded, and he said in a rather distressed tone, "Even if I stole it, I wouldn't be able to take it away!"

"That's enough." After Xu Han finished speaking, he laid down and acted as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Sigh, sigh, sigh! Little Han is already at this juncture, how can you still sleep?" However, Chu Chouli hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted.

"Isn't this the right time to go to bed?" Xu Han asked with a confused expression.

"Then it's time to score. That old brat is eyeing us covetously. As the saying goes, how can we allow others to sleep peacefully next to the bed? Why should we do something?" Chu Chouli said solemnly, as if he was facing a great enemy.

"Yes, that makes sense." Hearing this, Xu Han sat up, took out a cloth bag from somewhere in his arms, and tossed it to Chu Chouli, "We really need to do something, otherwise we will have to sleep on the streets tomorrow, then it will be hard for Big Brother Chu."

After saying that, Xu Han fell asleep again. Only Chu Chouli looked at the cloth bag in his hand and sighed.

…

Of course, Xu Han knew that the old man was not simple.

Chu Chouli's cultivation was clear to Xu Han, but judging from the size of the wooden box, it shouldn't be difficult for Chu Chouli. However, Chu Chouli was unable to shake it at all. Just this alone was enough to prove that the old man was extraordinary.

When Xu Han met the old man again outside Huangsha Town, he had investigated the old man's cultivation. However, he had obtained nothing. Although Xu Han's cultivation was only at the fourth stage of the Netherpassage Realm, he had to be a Great Evolution Realm cultivator to conceal his perception. Therefore, Xu Han secretly deduced that the old man's cultivation was probably already above the Great Evolution Realm.

Xu Han couldn't figure out whether he was traveling with him by coincidence or deliberately. He didn't dare to act recklessly until he understood the other party's intentions. Moreover, the other party had switched out the treasures that Chu Qiuli had stolen and did not seem to show any hostility towards them, so Xu Han was more willing to wait and see.

…

"This old brat is deliberately opposing someone from Chu!!!"

Early in the morning, Xu Han was awakened by Chu Chouli's wailing.

He opened his eyes to look at Chu Chouli, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, as well as the stones scattered all over the ground.

"Xiao Han! Look, this is truly a ghost!" Seeing that Xu Han had regained consciousness, Chu Chouli hurriedly came to Xu Han's bed. He pointed at the stone on the ground and shouted loudly, "Just now, it was still gold, silver, and jewelry. In the blink of an eye, it turned into stone!"

Xu Han rubbed his eyes and looked at the man beside him who obviously had two black circles around his eyes. He guessed that Chu Chouli had probably not slept peacefully all night.

"You mean you saw them turn into stones with your own eyes?" Xu Han frowned and asked.

"Isn't that so?" Chu Chouli slapped his thigh and said, "After I succeeded last night, I was afraid that that old brat would make a move again. I stared at him all the time, but if I stared at him, all of these things would turn into stones in front of me!"

Xu Han knew that Chu Chouli never acted carelessly when it came to matters related to money. His expression couldn't help but change. What kind of divine ability was this? Xu Han had never seen such a skill before.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

At this moment, a knock came from outside the door. The two of them looked at each other with peculiar expressions.

"Who is it?" However, Xu Han still asked in the direction of the door after a few breaths.

"It's me, hehe. It's getting late. It's time for you two to go." A kind voice came from outside the room.

…

As a result, the three of them, together with a cat and a wolf, once again headed north, heading towards Yanzhou.

The old gentleman was still carrying his strange wooden chest on his back, trembling and trembling along the way without any mishap.

Chu Chou was quite fearful of this old gentleman. He hid far away, but Xu Han did not mind and continued to walk side by side with the old man.

"What does the old gentleman want to do when he goes to Yanzhou?" Xu Han suddenly asked in a respectful tone, as if he was just chatting.

"Call me Elder Wei. A mere Jianghu artist really can't afford to call me Mr. Wei." The old man replied with a smile. Then, he raised his gaze and said, "Old people have some things that they can't let go of. They want to take advantage of this body to see it."

"It must not be a trivial matter for Master Wei to worry about him." Xu Hanyan said.

Hearing this, the old man chuckled and reached out to touch the black cat on Xu Han's shoulder.

"Whether it's a big matter or a small matter in this world, it depends on the person." The old man said with a smile, but at that moment, he raised his hand and pointed at a wheat field by the roadside.

The fields weren't big, but it was only a few zhang square. The autumn of Great Xia came a little late. At this moment, a farmer was harvesting wheat.

"Look at how much food there is in this small acre of land. It's only a day's meal for the rich, but for this farmer, it might be the hope of a family to survive." The old man said slowly, "If someone stole his wheat, it might be a calamity for the farmer."

Hearing this, Xu Han raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, do you have something to say?"

"Haha, this old man doesn't mean that."

"I just want to tell Brother Xu and Brother Chu that if you take a steamed bun stall, the vendor may feel heartache, but it doesn't matter. However, if you take a beggar's steamed bun, you may lose your life."

'"But there are too many people who meet by chance in this world. You will never know what kind of worries are hidden beneath his bright and beautiful appearance. Some choices that seem insignificant to you may be life-and-death tribulations to others."

"Heaven and earth are furnaces, and all living beings are soups."

"Since they are all in the midst of a calamity, why bother with each other?"

The old man said faintly. After saying this, he turned to look at Xu Han. His eyes narrowed, and his face still carried a faint smile. However, he asked, "Little brother, do you think what I said makes sense?"

At that moment, Xu Han was stunned. He suddenly stopped and bowed to the old man with a solemn expression. He respectfully said, "Thank you, sir, for your instruction."

The old man narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly. He calmly accepted this bow.
