Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 285 Xu Ling
"Sister Lingling, will someone come to save us?"

The little guys looked at Xu Ling expectantly, but Xu Ling didn't know how to answer.

To save them, no one will come to save them. She once heard from her parents that this is a closed space, and no one can leave here except those high-ranking figures in the central palace.

But if that's the case, these little guys who were born here like her will probably be completely desperate.

"Yes! Don't worry! As long as we persist for a while, someone will definitely come to rescue us!"

A smile appeared on Xu Ling's face, as if full of hope for the future.

Seeing what she said, the little fellows finally calmed down a little.

"It's time to eat!"

A young man as thin as a hemp stick walked into the dungeon, took out bundles of Yinming flowers from the storage bag, and stuffed them into each cell like feeding pigs.

In these cells, apart from eight or nine-year-old boys and girls like them, there are many adults. Compared to the hopeful children, the expressions of those adults are numb, as if they are just waiting to die.

"Sister Lingling, I don't want to eat this kind of thing!"

A little boy looked at the Yinming Flower in front of him, and said with a resisting expression.

"Let me help you pick a few plants!"

Xu Ling picked two Yinming flowers that were not yet fully mature and not so yin, and handed them to the young man, but the young man slapped them off.

"I won't eat! I won't eat!" the boy shouted in a fit of temper.

"Then eat later!"

Xu Ling didn't persuade him any more.

She has some blood relationship with the boy, she can be regarded as her cousin, so she has always taken care of him, but these cares have obviously become the capital for the boy to vent.

Under the current situation, she didn't bother to say anything more. After being hungry for a long time, the other party would naturally eat.

The little boy sat in the corner angrily, watching everyone pick up the Yinming flower, chew it up and swallow it like medicine, he couldn't help clenching his fists.

After eating, everyone sat down very skillfully, expelling the yin energy in their bodies.

Although Yinminghua is only a first-level elixir, long-term consumption of large quantities will still accumulate a large amount of Yin Qi in the body. If it is not cleared or dissolved in time, the body will soon go wrong.

They only have the cultivation base of the Qi training period, no matter how they are resolved, there will still be residues in the body, and they will still die after a long period of time, but it is the difference between early death and late death.

But they have no other choice, for them, Yinming Flower is almost the only thing that can be eaten here.

Other higher-level elixir will only make them die faster.

In the past, there were people in the palace who would give them ordinary food on a regular basis. They only needed to plant various spiritual medicines and practice the exercises given to them in the palace.

Life at that time was boring, but it was also carefree.

But since a year ago, things have changed!
The people in the palace no longer appeared, and a large number of ghosts and corpse puppets began to appear in the wilderness. Although those ghosts and corpse puppets would not attack them because of their skills, losing their source of food would mean cutting off their vitality. Life.

In the beginning, under the prestige accumulated by the palace for a long time, the town could still maintain stability.

But as food dwindled, chaos inevitably began to breed.

Before the monks advanced to the golden core stage, they all had to eat food, but the higher the level of cultivation, the less they ate.

The people in the town are all in the Qi training period, and they can survive without eating or drinking for three to five days, and they will not be able to support it any longer.

In terms of water, they can be condensed by spells, but food cannot be made out of thin air.

The more time passed, the worse the chaos in the town became.

Xu Ling's parents died in one of the chaos.

And she didn't even find the body.

As for where the body went?

The group of people who imprisoned them are doing the same thing every day.

The yin elixir planted outside cannot be used in large quantities. In order to live longer, those powerful people united together and began to raise them in captivity.

They take elixir, and the other party refines them into food.

Thinking that they could become food at any time, how many people could bear it, that's why those adults were full of despair and numbness.

Xu Ling's only hope now is that the people from the palace can show up, so that they can be saved.

But as time went by, as the number of people continued to decrease, she was about to fall into despair.

"I don't know what the outside world looks like? It would be great if I could take a look before dying!"

After refining the Yin Qi in his body, Xu Ling lay at the door of the cell, dreaming in his heart.

She was born in this space, and has never been to the outside world, but only heard legends about the outside world from other people's mouths.

There is honey that is ten times and a hundred times sweeter than Wu Suan fruit, there are foods with various flavors of sweet, bitter and spicy, as well as various unheard of fruits and various colorful scenery.

It is said that there is something called a rainbow, which can have seven colors at the same time, which she couldn't imagine.

"No! No! Don't kill me!"

A shrill scream brought Xu Ling back to reality. She turned her head and saw that a guard was opening one of the cells, and a young man was being dragged out like a piglet.

The young man struggled so hard that he slapped him out impatiently.

She had seen the same scene more than once, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly regained her composure.

"I don't know who will be next?"

Xu Ling prayed in her heart that it must not be their cell.

But God always likes to play tricks on people.

Not long after the young man was dragged out, two more guards came in and walked straight towards the cell where the teenagers were held.

"Boss wants to change his taste today, so we have to choose carefully. Last time, Shen Biao didn't have eyes, so the boss chopped off two fingers!" said one of the guards.

"Last time it wasn't about the ingredients, it was because Shen Biao didn't have eyes and got a piece of hair in, that's why the boss got angry!" Another guard laughed.

"That's why! I said why the boss is so angry! This time we two have to be careful!"

"Don't worry! Don't you know my craft!"

"That's up to you. If the boss is satisfied this time, maybe we won't have to eat water in the future!"

The two talked and laughed, as if they were not here to arrest people, but to go to the market to buy vegetables.

This place is isolated from the world, and the moral concept itself is weak. Now that they have experienced such a long time of adaptation, they have long been accustomed to it.

"Don't come here! Don't come here!"

Xu Ling kept mumbling in his heart, but nothing changed. The other party still walked straight towards them, opened the seal on the door, and pulled it away.

The boys and girls huddled together in fright, like little chickens in panic, Xu Ling was trembling all over, the extreme fear made her mind go blank, and she just instinctively stood in front of everyone.

Because of her older age, she has always been the eldest sister among the children in the town, so she naturally has to stand in front at this time, relying on her lonely courage.

"Shout! Little girl, you are quite courageous!"

One of the guards couldn't help being surprised when he saw Xu Ling's actions.

He did this kind of thing countless times, usually pushing and shoving each other, and this was the first time he saw someone rushing upwards.

"This girl seems to be Xu Mang's daughter, she really has the same temper as her father, she likes to show off!"

The other guard seemed to recognize Xu Ling, with disgust in his eyes.

Because Xu Ling's father used to be his boss when he was alive, and he was very strict with him. Every time he made a small mistake, he would hold on to him, which made him jealous.

Xu Ling's father would be killed in a sneak attack, and he also contributed a lot behind the scenes.

"Since you don't like him, choose her."

The other guard said nothing.

"it is good!"

He nodded, then reached out to grab Xu Ling.

Xu Ling instinctively dodged back, but she didn't expect someone to push her hard from behind.

In this way, she was easily caught by the guards.

She didn't dare to look back confidently, but only saw the happiness in the eyes of middle-aged and young girls.

I'm glad it's not them, and I'm glad I can live for a while longer.

The boy who pushed her hadn't let go of his hands completely, it was none other than her cousin who yelled that he didn't like to take the elixir.

After catching Xu Ling, the two of them didn't stop, they also grabbed Xu Ling's cousin, who made him stretch out his hand.

"No! Don't catch me!" Cousin Xu Ling had a strong desire to survive. After being caught, she yelled and struggled desperately: "She is very fleshy, one is enough, don't catch me! I don't want to die!"

"Noisy!"

The guard slapped them unconscious, and then walked out with one of them.
