Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 247 Dark Fog Valley

Under the pressure of Xu Mu's spiritual power, a black light appeared on the surface of the black slug, proving that it was not an ordinary parasite.

Although it is a Gu worm, it is only the lowest level of first-order Gu worms, because it is not someone who guessed the Gu worm, it is more likely that Chen Xiong accidentally contracted it.

Xu Mu didn't study too much, he used the sealing technique, first sealed the Gu worms, put them in the storage bag, and then performed a healing technique on Chen Xiong.

Chen Xiong, who had been terminally ill, immediately became alive and well.

"Thank you Immortal Master for saving your life! Thank you Immortal Master for saving your life!"

Chen Xiong got up and knelt on the ground, thanking him again, Chen Qingshan and his mother also knelt down to thank him again.

Xu Mu waved his hand to get them up.

At this moment, noisy sounds came from outside the house, and an old man with white hair and beard as snow walked into the house with the support of a middle-aged strong man.

"The little old man has seen the fairy master!"

The old man tremblingly wanted to salute Xu Mu, but Xu Mu stretched out his hand to support him.

"you are?"

"The little old man is the elder of the Chen family village! This is the head of the Chen family village and my grandson, Chen Yan!"

The old man pointed to the middle-aged man who was supporting him and said.

"I have seen Master Xianshi!"

Chen Yan also bowed to Xu Mu.

"You two are welcome!" Xu Mu nodded, and then said: "This is my first time here, I don't know that person in the village is very knowledgeable, I want to ask something!"

"The little old man went out to join the army before, so he has some knowledge, maybe he can clear up the confusion for the immortal master!" the old man said.

"That would be great!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Master Immortal, the place here is small, how about moving to the villain's house?" Chen Yan asked tentatively.

"Alright!"

Xu Mu nodded.

Chen Qingshan's house is indeed a bit small, and it is full of people everywhere, like watching monkeys.

Although Chen Qingshan's family was not reconciled, it was difficult to say anything. Their family was indeed a little small. If Xu Mu was forced to stay, it would seem a bit selfish.

After walking out of the courtyard, Xu Mu couldn't help frowning when he saw that the fence on the road was crowded with people.

"Have you seen enough!"

Xu Mu let out a cold snort, and everyone felt cold from head to toe, and some of them sat down on the ground in fright.

At this time, Chen Yan also came to his senses, and yelled at several prestigious middle-aged people in the village: "You guys don't want to drive people away, don't you!"

It was only then that everyone realized that what they were facing was not an ordinary person, but an immortal master who could take their lives with a single gesture.

Driven by several leaders, the frightened villagers quickly dispersed.

"Just talk in the yard! Walking around will only increase trouble!"

Xu Mu, who was made a little uncomfortable by these villagers, didn't go to the village chief's house at all, and just stood in the yard and asked.

"Yes!"

The old man and Chen Yan naturally didn't dare to have any opinions, but they couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If Xu Mu could move their family, then their family's prestige in the village would definitely be raised to a higher level.

Seeing that Xu Mu didn't leave, Chen Qingshan's family immediately started busy preparing meals for Xu Mu. Only then did Xu Mu remember the wild boar, so he took it out of the storage bag and handed it over to them for processing.

Chen Qingshan's family was naturally grateful again. At this time, Chen Qingshan's younger sister, Chen Qing'e, who had gone out to pick wild vegetables, just rushed back. Seeing that her father had recovered, she didn't understand what was going on, so she was dragged to help in a daze. .

Chen Ying and his elder brother Chen Xiong murmured a few words in a low voice, seeing Chen Xiong nodding, they ran out in a hurry, and soon came back with a bunch of things and a group of people, set up a pot and started a stove outside, splitting wood to make a fire , obviously to make a big seat.

This is probably the farmer's highest standard of hospitality.

Xu Mu didn't pay too much attention to the actions of the Chen family, and focused on asking about the situation around the old man.

Compared with Chen Ying and Chen Qingshan, the old man who has lived to be close to a hundred years old really knows a lot more things.

According to what the old man said, he joined the army when he was young, traveled to four or five nearby state capitals, and even met immortal masters several times. It's a pity that he didn't have much talent for cultivation, otherwise he might have a chance to become an immortal master. This, I couldn't help but sigh.

The two chatted until the evening. In order to express his gratitude, Xu Mu gave the old man a pill of nourishing the body, which is enough to make him live a long life.

In the evening, as expected, the Chen family really had a big feast, with chicken, duck, fish, and everything. They took out almost all valuable things, and even borrowed a lot from the villagers.

Many well-known villagers in the village were invited to have dinner with Xu Mu, but when facing Xu Mu, the immortal teacher, everyone seemed very reserved.

Xu Mu is not picky about food, but it is impossible for him to feast on it. Golden Core stage monks can already completely eat the grains. There is no nutrition at all to eat ordinary food. When faced with a table full of delicacies, he simply eats them. Two bites of vegetarian dishes mean.

At the wine table, Xu Mu still asked about the surrounding situation, such as whether there were any big families of great sects, and whether there were any special places.

Most of the villagers knew very little, and it was Chen Xiong who provided him with some useful information.

About 50 miles away from their village, there is a valley shrouded in black mist all year round. Any villagers or wild animals who stray into it never come out again. It is suspected that there are demons living there.

And the reason why Chen Xiong got sick was because he accidentally approached that valley while hunting. He thought that nothing would happen if he didn't go in, but he fell ill soon after he came back. He went to the town to see the doctor, but the doctor couldn't do anything about it. , if Xu Mu hadn't made a move, he would probably have to wait at home to die.

Xu Mu guessed that the black mist should be a formation, and it is likely that there are practitioners who practice witchcraft in it.

"Didn't you find Secretary Zhangxian?" Xu Mu asked.

The Dayuan Dynasty is different from other places. It doesn't mean that if you find a place, divide a piece of land, and build a few houses, you can start a sect and establish a sect.

In the Dayuan Dynasty, no matter whether it is a big or small family or a sect, it must be reported to the Palm Immortal Division and approved by the Palm Immortal Division before it can be established, and it has to pay taxes every year like ordinary people.

Xu Mu felt that the situation of the Dayuan Dynasty was somewhat similar to that of the Hai Clan Kingdom, but it was more complicated than the system of the Hai Clan Kingdom.

Like immortal cultivators collecting taxes, only the Dayuan Dynasty can do it in the entire Tianyuan Continent. From this point, we can also see the strength of the Dayuan Dynasty.

"..."

Hearing Xu Mu's words, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Master Immortal, we are just ordinary people, if we dare to provoke this kind of thing, it will be fine if Secretary Zhang Xian can clean it up, if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, we can bear it there! "

To put it bluntly, it is the fear of revenge from the other party.

There is a huge disparity in strength between the two. If it is revenge, they simply cannot bear it.

In addition to that black mist, although it exists all year round, as long as you don't provoke it, it will not harm you.

In this way, no one wants to ask for trouble.

After understanding it clearly, Xu Mu didn't say anything more, but secretly made a note in his heart that he had to go and see it in person if he had the opportunity.

After all, the Xu family will move here in the future, so there should be no unstable factors around them.

After dinner, Xu Mu refused the Chen family's persuasion, and rushed to the nearest Chilin Town overnight.

Looking at the back of Xu Mu going away, Chen Qingshan was a little lost. He boldly wanted to worship Xu Mu as his teacher just now, but Xu Mu rejected him by saying that he had no cultivation talent. One can imagine the loss in his heart.

It's just that it's hard to extinguish the thoughts in people's minds. Not long after, Chen Qingshan secretly left home to pursue the fairy dream.

On the other side, Xu Mu rode the donkey given by the village head and walked leisurely under the moonlight.

Halfway through the journey, I saw a fire in the distance.
