Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 40
The wilderness is full of dangers, but it will be much safer with the Breath Suppression and Stealth Technique.

Lv Zhong hid his breath all the way to hide, and used the Qi Watching technique to investigate all the time. He didn't encounter any danger on the way and came to the vicinity of the target point.

This is a settlement that has been abandoned for many years. It was built next to a small river that is about ten meters wide. There is a circular wall with many gaps. Inside the wall are a dozen or so thatch or solid wood scattered scattered houses.

Without repairs for a long time, these houses have almost become dilapidated and may collapse at any time.

Outside the settlement, there is nearly a hundred acres of fields covered with weeds, which should have been left by the casual cultivators who opened up here at the beginning. At this moment, there are still a lot of grains growing on it, and it can be seen that they are drought-resistant and easy-to-raise varieties.

On a crooked neck tree, Lu Zhong carefully observed everything in the settlement.

Slowly, the map of this settlement has been outlined in my heart.

Just then, he made a new discovery.

In the southeast of the settlement, a faint aura glowed in a three-connected thatched hut.

"One... two... two people, judging by the intensity of the aura, they are at the first level of Qi Refining. It can be guessed that they are casual cultivators in the wilderness, and they can be used for practice." The aura in Lu Zhong's eyes faded, and an idea suddenly appeared in his heart.

Practice what you've learned from your inspiration book.

Lv Zhong took advantage of the shadows of the building and relied on the stealth skills taught in the book of hidden disappearance experience to avoid places where casual cultivators might observe in the wilderness, and quietly sneaked towards the three-connected thatched hut.

He took this as a kind of sharpening for himself, and the two wilderness cultivators inside were sharpening stones.

Gradually, the conversation between the two could be heard.

It is estimated that they would not have imagined that they would be touched under their noses.

Be careful to avoid a sound trap composed of bones and stones. This is one of the commonly used traps in the wilderness. The sound after triggering can serve as an alarm.

Lu Zhong moved forward a few more steps, and was less than ten feet away from the thatched cottage, and saw the situation inside through the gap.

As seen by the qi-watching technique before, there were indeed two monks in the room, a man and a woman. It seemed that they were in an aftermath state, and their clothes were scattered all over the floor.

The man was panting, and the woman was blushing.

It seemed that they had had enough rest, and the two of them got busy again.

Seeing this scene suddenly, Lu Zhong was slightly startled, feeling surprised in his heart.

Looking ahead, he remained motionless, as if staring blankly.

"Bitch, how dare you hurt me!"

At this moment, a scream of shock and anger came.

The man pushed the woman away, only to find that his complexion turned purple-black for some reason, and then his body stiffened suddenly, and black blood flowed out of his mouth after a while.

At this time, the woman stood up with a smile on her face, and said jokingly: "My brother Haocheng, you can go down with peace of mind. Who told Rou Niang to move to Fangshi? With the Lingshi on your body , Rouniang can finally leave the wilderness and live in Fangshi."

"Bitch... bitch!" Almost gnashing his teeth, the man spit out these words before dying.

Turning a blind eye to the man's swearing, the woman was still smiling, walked to the wall and picked up a small yellow crossbow, raised her hand and shot three arrows at the man's head.

Witnessing all this completely, Lu Zhong once again saw the danger of the human heart.

It is said that there is a knife on the head of Sezi, and it is true when I saw it today.

He continued to stand still, even though this poisonous woman had a vicious heart, but she was not the one who harmed herself, so there was no need to help others get revenge.

Afterwards, the woman put on her clothes, but she was dressed as a pretty lady. If she didn't know the vicious things she did before, she would definitely be deceived by this very camouflaged appearance.

It's no wonder that the dead man fell on this woman's hands.

At this time, the woman twisted her waist and came to the man's clothes, and soon found a small bag.After shaking, there was a crisp collision sound, which was made by the collision of Lingshi.

"Tch, there are only three spirit stones."

The woman seemed very dissatisfied, and spat on the corpse on the ground.

Continuing to rummage through, she found two talismans in the interlayer of her clothes, and a smile appeared on her face, "A talisman for avoiding arrows, and a talisman for golden light... Hee hee, I really made a profit this time!"

While speaking, a figure appeared behind him.

The woman seemed to have noticed something, but before she turned her head around, a huge force came from the back of her head.

With a "plop", her body fell heavily to the ground.

Lu Zhong withdrew his hand expressionlessly, in his heart he was amazed at the effects of the Breath Containment Technique and the Stealth Technique, and he could walk behind the opponent unconsciously without the opponent noticing it, and easily stunned the opponent.

After some exploration, he found five spirit stones and three cleaning symbols from the woman.

It is not allowed to avenge others, but it is still possible to do justice for the sky.

Just laugh at these things.

However, the poison that poisoned the man was not found even though all the clothes were searched, even the interlayer of the clothes was checked.

"Strange, where did she put the poison?" Lu Zhong was a little puzzled.

Without further research, he took another look at the man's clothes on the ground. He remembered that the woman didn't seem to have finished searching, so he began to check the rest of the clothes, and soon found a sealed letter inside.

The handwriting in the letter was crooked and illegible, and it was really troublesome to look at.

Judging from the content, it was an anonymous murder letter, someone paid money to assassinate a talisman maker.This is considered the daily business of wilderness cultivators, and it is not surprising to appear here.

When he saw the target information attached at the end, Lu Zhong was stunned.

"Hey, isn't this me?"

In any case, he never thought that he would become the target of assassination.

The letter is anonymous, nothing more can be seen at all.

But when I turned to the back of the letter, there was a name written in charcoal.

It seems that the man should have written it down, and now it just happened to let him know the identity of the murderer.

"Lin Zhongze, I didn't expect it to be you..."

Lu Zhong recalled the previous monster skin incident, and suddenly he understood the reason why the other party wanted to kill, probably because he couldn't swallow the breath in his heart, after all, Lin Zhongze was just a very small-minded person.

After a while, he rubbed his temples, and then glanced at the woman on the ground. The identity of the man she killed was clear, and he was probably the assassin who was about to assassinate him.

Assassination is different from head-to-head fighting, and some methods kill people by leapfrogging.

Even though the assassin is only at the first level of Qi refining, it is not a problem at all to assassinate a monk at the third level of Qi refining, there are too many ways to do it.

Since the man is an assassin, this woman should be with him too.

"I thought she was just a poisonous woman, but unexpectedly she is an accomplice of the assassin. It seems that I can't keep you..." Lu Zhong thought blankly.

A sword light flashed, the woman's body shook, and her head rolled to the ground.
