“Niu’er.” On this day, the old man called Niu Mang to his side. Hearing the old man’s kind call, Niu Mang did not dare to be negligent and quickly ran over respectfully.

“Hey, go ahead.” Niu Mang stood respectfully at the side. The old man sat cross-legged on the brick bed and puffed on his cigarette, then said leisurely: “Ox, I’ve been eating with you for the past few days, you don’t find me annoying?” Although Niu Mang’s brain was not sharp, he was not stupid. This old man was definitely a capable person, after coaxing him, he might just teach him a half move and half a move, and would not have to worry about him for the rest of his life. If he did not serve him well and let him go, he would have to return to the hungry and full days of the past.

“What are you talking about? I’m quite bored by myself, not to mention …” “Say more …” Niu Mang wanted to say what was in his heart, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. Even if he was silly, he would not be stupid to such an extent.

The old man looked at Niu Mang and suddenly started laughing out loud. “Niu’er, you are a rich person, there aren’t many people like you.

He finally had a day where he could turn the tables around. Seems like this old man is really a god that descended from the heavens, he has specially instructed me to come here, maybe he would teach me a unique skill that can turn stone into gold. I no longer need to be so poor, from now on, I will bid farewell to this small house and run away from the good fortune.

Niu Mang was extremely excited, he was too anxious to not speak, his face was red from holding back, and in the end, he kneeled on the ground and kowtowed to the old man, his big head knocking onto the ground.

The old man laughed and said, “Niu’er, this is what you deserve. You don’t need to kowtow.” Who would not be happy to hear this? Niu Mang almost cried tears of joy, but he was still a bit lacking in intelligence, and even though his emotions were not that rich, he did not cry.

“Niu’er, I can teach you this move, but you have to promise me a few things.” The old man said in a serious tone. Niu Mang was only happy to learn it early and did not think much of it.

“Alright, first place. If you decide on this, then it will be a lifetime’s worth of work. There won’t be a chance for you to stop here. Do you understand?” “Yes, yes.” “Secondly, this spell is too eye-catching and must never be displayed in front of others. Once it is found out by others, they will definitely have evil intentions. Do you remember it?” “Yes, yes.” “Third, after this law is passed, if you want to do something in the future, it will be up to you. You have to listen to it.” “Yeah, yeah, listen to him, listen to who?” Niu Mang asked.

The old man did not say anything, but took out a box from his pocket. The box was made of wood, and it was dark and gloomy, and a wave of cold Qi could be felt from afar. Niu Mang was intimidated by the cold Qi and only woke up from his previous state of excitement, feeling that things were not as simple as he thought.

The old man slowly opened the box and saw a white jade colored insect nestled inside. This insect was about the size of a finger and was disturbed by the outside world. It turned its body and lifted its head to smell around, as if sensing the different smell in the air, “What kind of insect is this?” Niu Mang asked.

“It’s called the Cold Worm.” Niu Mang felt that something was amiss. Could it be that the old man wasn’t going to teach him some kind of skill that could turn stone into gold, but rather have him help him raise and raise insects, and such a strange insect.

Although it looked no different from an ordinary insect, it seemed to be somewhat repulsed by it, which was a feeling he couldn’t clearly describe. Later on, he realized that the moving and silent insect seemed to exude a temperament that didn’t seem like a bug, but more like a lazy cat or dog that understood human nature. In fact, he had thought of it simply, this white jade-like insect was a spiritual item that was hard to come across in a hundred years, how could a mortal control it.

Niu Mang did not know the depth of it, and only thought that the old man was a god who had descended to the mortal realm, bestowed him with a treasure. Little did he know that, in the eyes of the old man, Niu Mang was already a person on the verge of death.

The old man closed the box and handed it over to Niu Mang. Niu Mang received it with both hands, feeling extremely excited in his heart, and just as he was about to open it, the old man held his hands down and said: “Don’t disturb the Cold Worm. Put it on your body for a period of time, let it familiarize yourself with your Qi.

Hearing that, Niu Mang was overjoyed, and asked anxiously: “What benefits can this bug bring me?” “What do you want?” I want money. ”

The old man laughed heartily and said, “Niu’er, do you know that being free and unrestrained is not something that can be bought with money and treasures? Think about it carefully. Do you really want money?” After he finished speaking, a pair of sharp eyes stared straight at Niu Mang, trying to see through his thoughts from Niu Mang’s eyes.

Without thinking, Niu Mang said, “I, Niu Mang, am too poor to be afraid, I just want money.” At the mention of money, Niu Mang’s eyes flashed with a passionate light, as if he was already in a world of endless pleasure. He had no idea that there was an end to fortune, and that the gold and silver treasure would only fuel the burning of fortune.

Niu Mang was immersed in his memories, his voice getting softer and softer, his face turning uglier and uglier, as if he was recalling something he did not dare to recall. The assistant little brother impatiently said: “What are you doing, why are you dozing off? Niu Mang looked around in panic, “Later …”

“Old sir, you see, Cold Worm is willing to stay with me.” After a few days, Niu Mang said to the old man, the Cold Worm’s spirit energy was abundant, and was not fond of people, he did not expect that he and Niu Mang could actually get along so well, and when he had nothing to do with it, he would just come out of the box and lie on Niu Mang’s body.

However, the old man disapproved and said to Niu Mang: “Looks like you and the Cold Worm are fated. Very soon, this Cold Worm will be able to help you.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Niu Mang with a smile. In truth, the old man had already expected this, because the Cold Worm was extremely intelligent, he already knew that the old man would use Niu Mang as a pawn, and the Cold Worm was also like that. At this time, everything was just an act, to make better use of this pawn.

Finally, the day of the fusion of the Cold Worm and Niu Mang arrived. The so called fusion was a kind of unorthodox method, and after the Cold Worm and the host got along for a while, they finally managed to fuse together, using a sharp knife to cut a small cut on the host’s wrist for the Cold Worm to enter. The Cold Worm would then be able to rest and recover within the host’s body, in order to be able to unleash the various wonders of the Cold Worm.

Niu Mang couldn’t help but swallow his saliva in front of the old man who was sharpening his blade, and barely squeezed out a smile and asked: “Old sir, do you think you can find another way? I was born cowardly, and am afraid of blood.” As the old man sharpened his saber, he said, “Niu’er, do you know that wealth comes from danger? As long as you endure this, you will have more days to live on in the future. Don’t you want gold and silver anymore?” Niu Mang was tricked by the old man’s words, he clenched his teeth and said: “Ok, I’ll go all out, you can greet me with force.”

After the old man finished sharpening his blade, he took out a piece of paper and lit it up, then called Niu Mang over. Niu Mang walked over, trembling as he said, the old man gestured for him to sit down, his left hand grabbed onto his wrist and placed it on the table. Niu Mang suddenly felt that the old man’s fingers were as strong as a tiger’s pincer, he had no chance of struggling free at all.

The old man smiled and said, “Niu’er, don’t be afraid.” With his right hand pressing the blade down on Niu Mang’s wrist, Niu Mang closed his eyes nervously. The old man pressed the blade down and wedged it into Niu Mang’s wrist.

The old man held the blade in his mouth, and used his right hand to cut open Niu Mang’s wound. Logically speaking, how could ordinary people be able to endure such actions, Niu Mang was even more afraid of death, at the moment, his eyes were tightly shut, and unexpectedly did not make a sound, as though he did not feel pain. The Cold Worm was already waiting on the side, eager to give it a try.

The old man let go of Niu Mang’s wrist and said smilingly, “Enough.” After the Cold Worm entered, Niu Mang shuddered and only after a while did he open his eyes, “It’s so cold.”

The old man smiled and said: “It’s normal. Although the Cold Worm s are small, their innate cold nature is extraordinary. Everything will be alright after a while.” Niu Mang looked at his wrist, only having a shallow cut.

“It’s too cold. I’m lying in bed.” Niu Mang shivered from head to toe, just as he was about to get on the brick bed, the old man pulled him back, “The Cold Worm is afraid of fire, it cannot get to hot places.” Not only that, the old man also asked Niu Mang to soak himself naked in the water vat. In order to let the Cold Worm and Niu Mang’s bodies fuse together as soon as possible, after a few hours had passed, a thin layer of ice formed on the water vat. When the old man saw this, he was overjoyed and said: “The Cold Worm is very suitable for your body, it will soon fuse with you.”

In order to make the Cold Worm compatible with him, Niu Mang suffered a lot. Not only did he have to soak in the cold water to freeze, he couldn’t even be covered while sleeping, and it was normal for him to be shivering when he was cold. However, he did not have a fever even once, because the cold energy of the Cold Worm was too strong, suppressing Niu Mang’s body’s ability to protect himself.

“Old sir, I feel the Cold Worm moving.” On this day, Niu Mang excitedly said to the old man. At this moment, his face was filled with joy, but his complexion was ashen, and anyone who saw him would think that he was shining like the sun in the sky. Niu Mang was only concerned with his happiness, and waited for the Cold Worm to help him search for treasures.

It was precisely the Cold Worm. The old man laughed and said: “Great, the Cold Worm has already completely adapted to your body, let’s go now.” Niu Mang asked: “Are you going to look for a treasure?” The old man said, “Yes.”

Niu Mang was extremely happy. He got down from the brick bed to get dressed, and just as he was about to put on his shoes and stand up, he felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. He held on to the edge of the brick bed and barely stopped. At this time, Niu Mang was still able to speak and act as he normally did, all because of his determination towards the gold and silver treasure. Sigh, to say that the most pleasing thing in the world is nothing but money, and the most harmful thing in the world is also the one with money as the leader.
