Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 35 Tracking and anti-killing
"closed!"

Under the rain, looking at the closed shop door, Xu Mu believed Chi Feiyan's words again.

These shops were rarely closed before, but now they all close at the same time, and any fool knows there is a problem.

He originally wanted to buy a few defensive magic weapons, but now it seems that there is no way.

"No wonder there were so few people when I first entered Fangshi!"

and many more!

Xu Mu suddenly realized that if something strange happened, would it be true that no one would notice the abnormality?

There is no shortage of smart people in this world!
Xu Mu raised his heart.

He went to shopkeeper Tu, originally wanting to inquire about the situation, and then reminded him, but in the end, the other party also closed down and went out of business, and he didn't know where he went.

"It is estimated that the news has been received! Forget it!"

Xu Mu didn't care much anymore, and after leaving Fangshi, he walked quickly towards his home.

Da da!

The sound of subtle footsteps, mixed with the sound of falling raindrops, came to Xu Mu's ears from behind.

Only ten steps away from him!
Such a slight sound, coupled with the interference of the sound of rain, would not be felt by ordinary practitioners at all, but Xu Mu, who has reached the level of marrow refining, can easily distinguish it.

"Two mid-stage qi training buffed with invisibility! What do you mean? Are you trying to hit me with a sap?"

Xu Mu frowned slightly, pretending not to know, and purposely walked into a nearby uninhabited alley.

The footsteps were getting closer.

Seven steps!

Five steps!

……

Three steps!

Two steps!

Clang!
Before the two of them started, Xu Mu took the first step.

The red gold sword appeared in his hand, and the fifteen sharp gold formations were instantly activated, emitting a dazzling light. The heat wave transpired, and the rainwater within a few feet was forcibly drained away.

Before the two sneak attackers could react, Xu Mu's figure had disappeared in place.

A red lightning streaked across the void!
puff!

A headless corpse appeared out of thin air, sprayed with blood, stumbled a few steps, and fell into the stagnant water with a plop.

Xu Mu held an umbrella in one hand and a long sword in the other, which was held in the air.

A tall and thin man slowly appeared under his sword.

The man's cheekbones were raised high, and his face was full of horror.

"Why are you staring at me?" Xu Mu said coldly.

"My lord, I, we just drop by... Ahh!"

The sharp blade cut into the flesh and blood, and the scorching breath made the flesh and blood sizzling, and the fragrance of the flesh permeated the air.

"Say!"

"I said, I said! We just look at you alone, and your cultivation level is not high, so we think it's easy to attack!" The man hurriedly explained.

"My lord, the villain has no eyes, so just treat me like a fart! I'll give you everything!"

"Aren't you afraid of patrols when you do it during the day?"

Although the management of the shantytowns is relatively loose, it is impossible for the hands-on patrols to ignore them in broad daylight. If they are witnessed, it is difficult to escape.

After all, Fangshi is only that big, unless you have been hiding in the mountains and forests.

"what?"

The man probably didn't expect Xu Mu to ask this suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he said uncertainly: "That's because someone said that the Qinghe Sword Sect was defeated and the Soul Refining Sect was about to attack, we don't know if it's true or not, but The patrol team has not been patrolling for the past two days, and someone has already succeeded, so we want to try!"

Anyone who wants to try will die!
The news really leaked!
Xu Mu thought to himself.

I am afraid that many people in Fangshi have already received the news, but most of them still cannot fully confirm it.

Everyone is trying, just like the two robbers in front of them.

It's just a pity that the two of them kicked the iron board.

The strength of these two people is only at the level of the Li brothers. Xu Mu could easily kill them when he was practicing Qi at the fourth level, let alone now.

"My lord, please forgive me..."

puff!

The long sword swept across!

The man's body was separated instantly!

Whether the two wanted to sneak attack him, or they saw his red gold sword, they would definitely die.

Putting the bodies of the two into special storage bags, Xu Mu's figure quickly disappeared into the rain.

After returning home, the corpse was burned to ashes and thrown into the sewer at the entrance of the alley. Xu Mu opened the storage bags of the two to check.

34 low-grade spirit stones!

Two Tier [-] defensive artifacts!
More than ten talismans!
A few bottles of pills!

Three attack weapons!

A few spell books!

"Poor ghost!"

They are all worthless things. Xu Mu, who has long been different from what he used to be, put them away after just looking at them.

"Ying'er, let's go to fellow Taoist Lan's house!" Xu Mu said to Ye Yingying who was busy in the kitchen.

"Sir, what's the matter?" Ye Yingying asked doubtfully.

"You'll know when it arrives!"

"Oh!"

Ye Yingying picked up Xiao Ling'er who was sleeping, and followed Xu Mu out of the house
Boom!

"Xu Daoyou, what are you?"

Lan Shijin, who was wearing a blue brocade suit, looked at Xu Mu in surprise.It was the first time she saw Xu Mu bring Ye Yingying over to visit.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, can I go in first, I have something important to tell you!"

"it is good!"

Seeing that Xu Mu didn't look like he was joking, Lan Shijin opened the door and let the two of them enter the room.

Compared with Xu Mu's house, Lan Shijin's residence is not only cleaner and tidy, but also has various decorations, which are antique and full of everyone's charm.

In the room, Leng Yuening, who was wearing white brocade clothes, was sitting on a chair, still practicing the ice pick technique. When she saw Xu Mu and Ye Yingying coming in, she immediately lifted the spell, her pretty face thawed, and she habitually hugged Xiao Ling'er.

At this moment, Xiao Ling'er woke up rubbing her big dazed eyes.

"Ling'er! Let my sister hug me!"

Leng Yuening's voice was clear and sweet, like wind chimes surrounding her ears, completely different from the cold appearance, it sounded very comfortable.

After being in contact with the other party for a long time, Xu Mu discovered that Leng Yuening is actually a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

It's just that he usually comes into contact with too few people, so in order to protect himself, he acts cold and arrogant.

It's a pity that this kind of heat is usually only for Xiao Ling'er.

"Father...Father..."

As soon as Ye Yingying put Xiao Ling'er on the ground, she stumbled and ran towards Xu Mu, hugging his thigh tightly.

He ignored Leng Yuening instead.

Ever since she was able to walk, she began to behave uncharacteristically, and suddenly entangled Xu Mu. As long as Xu Mu was free, she would hang on him, and she refused to let go when eating.

Xu Mu, who was originally depressed because his daughter didn't get close to him, now didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Come on! Come on! Give you candy!"

Leng Yuening pulled Xiao Ling'er twice, seeing that she refused to let go, so she took out a piece of malt candy from her pocket and started to tease her.

Xiao Ling'er looked at her father's thigh, then at the maltose in Leng Yuening's hand, her big dark eyes rolled back and forth, her fair little face began to hesitate and struggle.

Xu Mu ignored the banter between the two, and said, "Fellow Daoist Lan, I went to Fangshi just now..."

Xu Mu told Lan Shijin all the news he heard from Chi Feiyan, as well as his own guesses.

"how so!"

After listening to Lan Shijin, his face was full of shock, and he sat on the chair, speechless for a long time.

Apparently, she hadn't been to Fangshi for a while, and it was hard to accept it for a while when she heard such a change.

Originally, she thought that after the war was over, she would take her daughter back to her natal family, but now it seems that her natal family may be in danger.

Compared to Xu Mu, she was more difficult to accept.

It took a while to slow down!

Leng Yuening and Ye Yingying were not far behind in shock.

Only Xiao Ling'er was gnawing on the maltose in her arms, carefree, her saliva was sticky everywhere, and her braid was dangling.

"Fellow Daoist Lan, I have decided to leave with the Chi family tomorrow. I wonder what your plan is next?"

Although there are many dangers in leaving with the Chi family, Xu Mu is really unwilling to put his life in the hands of others, and prays that the people of the Soul Refining Sect will not be as cruel as the legend says.

But also for future development!
After the Soul Refining Sect was mopped up, if Baishifang City wanted to restore its current grandeur, it might have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

And he is not young anymore, so he doesn't have so much time to wait.

The sooner he reaches the ninth level of Qi training, the greater the chance of breaking through the foundation establishment. If he really has to wait until he is eighty or ninety years old, even with the help of the system, he is not very sure.

Lan Shijin hesitated for a long time, but in the end she still couldn't make up her mind to go with them.

She still didn't believe that the Qinghe Sword Sect would be defeated so easily.

"If that's the case, then I'll take my leave! If Fellow Daoist Lan changes his mind, you can come to me anytime before you leave tomorrow!" Xu Mu said regretfully.

He still hopes that the other party can follow, at least there is someone he knows who can take care of each other, and Lan Shijin's strength is not too bad, and he is proficient in formations, so he can play a lot of roles on the road.

As for the Chi family, he didn't know him at all!

If he hadn't been forced to be helpless, it would be impossible for him to go with the other party.

Even if they walk together, he will be careful to watch out for each other on the road.

After leaving Lan Shijin's house, she happened to meet Li Moqing who had just come back from outside in the alley.

Now she is wearing a robe, heavy makeup, and elegantly dressed.

I don't know if it's because of some important person, or because the business has been so good recently, not only the clothes have skyrocketed, but even the cultivation base has been raised to the third level of Qi training.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, sister Yingying, long time no see!"

Seeing the two of them, Li Moqing immediately smiled like a flower.

Turning his head to look at Xiao Ling'er who was being held by Xu Mu again, his face showed joy.

"Isn't this little Ling'er? Let my aunt hug me!"

Li Moqing stretched out his hand to hug him, but Xu Mu stretched out his hand to stop him.

Without even looking at Li Moqing, she turned around and entered the house with her wife and daughter.

"Humph!"

Seeing Xu Mu's reaction, Li Moqing's face collapsed instantly, he snorted coldly, and went back to his yard angrily.

Xu Mu, who returned to his residence, immediately began to pack his things.

"Sir, do we really want to go?"

Ye Yingying had a depressed face, and she still couldn't believe it.

The life of their family has just improved, and she has just adapted to the current life. It is really hard to accept that she suddenly followed a group of strangers to a strange place.

"Don't be sad, nothing will happen if I'm here!"

Xu Mu held him in his arms and comforted him.

"My... my..."

Xiao Ling'er desperately pulled her mother away, her father belonged to her.

It was night in a blink of an eye!

Xu Mu's family had dinner, played with Xiao Ling'er for a while, and was about to go into the house to rest, when a shrill scream suddenly came from the direction of Fangshi.
