I am going to live forever in the world of mortals

Chapter 61 Dead Silence
Early the next morning...

Zhang Xiuyuan sat on the futon and practiced with his eyes closed, his breath restrained.

And outside the door, Zhuo Yuanxing was pacing with his fists, and wanted to knock on the door several times, but when he got to the door, he retreated embarrassingly, looking very conflicted.

Thinking of the situation of Chivalry Hall and his old father, he got up early after taking a short rest, obviously wanted to urge the Taoist priest, but it was not the appointed time, so it was not easy to urge.

After waiting for a while, he could not help but be overjoyed when he saw the white belly showing in the sky, and just as he was about to knock on the door, he saw that the door was already open.

"..."

Zhuo Yuanxing saw that the Taoist priest was looking at him, but his hand that was going to knock on the door was still upright in the air, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in...

"Master Dao, good morning..."

"It is late…"

Zhang Xiuyuan smiled and joked: "Poverty Taoist has the habit of practicing for a week in the morning, but Mr. Zhuo has kept him waiting for a long time."

"No no…"

Zhuo Yuanxing hurriedly shook his head, and said embarrassingly, "It's because I can't calm down. I hope the Taoist priest can't blame me."

"You're welcome…"

The two went out of the mountain gate after some politeness. As soon as they went down the mountain, they saw Lu Zhaozhao, who was dressed in white, also at the foot of the mountain.

Lu Zhaozhao looked at Zhang Xiuyuan with a strange expression, and said with a smile: "The aura of the Taoist priest is getting more restrained."

"Having enlightenment in the heart, it's just a little improvement in cultivation."

Zhang Xiuyuan also knew that the introverted breath she mentioned was the effect of "Zang Feng Jue", but it was hard to explain it clearly, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "Shall we go directly to the Chivalrous Hall?"

Lu Zhaozhao nodded in agreement: "Late makes changes."

"and many more……"

Zhuo Yuanxing blinked blankly, and asked, "Master Lu, Miss Lu, the Chivalry Hall is in Longyuan County to the south, more than 800 miles away from here..."

He said and pointed to his two legs, and said dryly: "Let's just walk over like this?"

"..."

Zhang Xiuyuan and Lu Zhaozhao looked at each other...

They all have cultivation bases, and although they don't know how to fly, their foot strength is also extremely fast, so they subconsciously ignore the problem of foot strength.

Now when Zhuo Yuanxing mentioned this matter, they realized that Zhuo Yuanxing was just a martial artist with limited internal strength.

"I have a bank note with me..."

Zhuo Yuanxing took out a large denomination bank note from his body, and suggested: "How about we go to the post station to buy three fast horses first?"

"also…"

Zhang Xiuyuan nodded and said: "But there is no need to buy three horses. Mr. Zhuo, you can buy a fast horse and ride yourself. Fellow Daoist Lu and I don't need horses to travel."

"..."

Zhuo Yuanxing looked at the two of them, and was speechless for a while, as if he also realized the embarrassment that he seemed to be the only one in the group of three who needed a means of transportation...

Obviously, he became one of the acquired martial arts when he was weak, and he can be regarded as a genius with a small reputation in the Jianghu. How did he become a hindrance here...

He went towards the post station in a dull manner, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward...

Zhang Xiuyuan and Lu Zhaozhao were waiting outside the post station. Before they had time to chat, they saw a group of uniformly dressed people coming from the official road on horseback. The attire was the unique brocade clothes of Fengfengwei...

The leader was a middle-aged man with a beard. He was not wearing brocade clothes, but a black light armor, with a heavy knife on his waist...

Feng Fengwei's group also stopped in front of the post station. The leading middle-aged man glanced at the two of them. He didn't say anything, but asked his subordinates to change for fast horses...

Feng Fengwei and his group seemed to have something on their side, they came and left quickly, after changing their horses, the group rode their horses and headed south...

There was a cloud of dust on the road...

Because of religious doctrines, Lu Zhaozhao had a natural resistance to the Dayuan court. Seeing this, he frowned slightly and said, "The leader is called Huo Qianchou, and he is also the Fengyuwei Qianhu who took over the murder case in Gusu. This person led the Fengyu Guards out of the city and headed south, it should be that the case he took over has made progress."

She knew that there was a high probability that the murders in Gusu were the work of the Holy Seed.

And after Zhang Xiuyuan and Zhuo Yuanxing's perfection, whether it is the holy seed or the eccentric, it can basically be confirmed that it is Zhang Yangming's magic idea!
Now, the Fengfengwei people have changed their horses and headed south, so it is hard to guarantee that they will also go to the Chivalrous Hall...

"It's not bad to work hard and have strict discipline."

Zhang Xiuyuan didn't know Huo Qianchou, and when he heard that Huo Qianchou was the Fengfengwei Qianhu who took over Gusu's murder case, he just praised him casually and didn't pay much attention to it.

"..."

Lu Zhaozhao wanted to say something at first, but he suddenly realized that Zhuo Yuanxing was the son of the leader of the Chivalry Hall, he escaped from the hall in secret, and only yesterday he found Taixu Temple for help.

If Fengfengwei's trip is also going to Chivalrous Hall, wouldn't it mean that something happened in Chivalrous Hall?

Her heart moved, and she asked tentatively: "Master Daoist, we are going south to the Chivalry Hall, and the Fengyu Guards also headed south after changing their fast horses. Do you think it is possible that they also went to the Chivalry Hall?"

"Improbable..."

Zhang Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "The murder case here in Gusu has not been solved yet, why are they going to the Chivalry Hall?"

"In case, I mean in case..."

Lu Zhaozhao deliberately guided: "What if the murderer who committed numerous murders here in Gusu is the eccentric person Zhuo Yuanxing said?"

"..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiuyuan glanced at her in surprise, then seemed to think of something, and murmured: "If that's the case, then the Chivalrous Hall..."

"Daoist, why don't we buy horses at the next station."

At this moment, Zhuo Yuanxing left the station with a resentful expression on his face, mumbling indignantly: "It's not the right time to come, the fast horses were all replaced by the Fengfengwei."

"..."

Zhang Xiuyuan thought of the speculation that Lu Zhaozhao said just now, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said: "Poverty, let's go with Mr. Zhuo, and I can get to the Chivalrous Hall earlier."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves, and Zhuo Yuanxing was immediately surrounded by the gushing true energy, and then he jumped away.

Lu Zhaozhao followed closely behind...

The original half-day journey, because they brought Zhuo Yuanxing with them, it took the three of them more than half a day to reach the territory of Longyuan County...

In order to prevent accidents, Zhang Xiuyuan and Lu Zhaozhao practiced for another half a day, and then went to the Chivalry Hall after recovering the exhausted true energy...

The Chivalry Hall has a good reputation in Longyuan County, because of its many disciples, the hall was established in a township.

That township is called Yuanxu Town, and there are hundreds of people. It is precisely because of the chivalrous place where the people live in the town.

There is a rally every two or three days in the town, which is very lively, but for some reason, Yuanxu Town is very quiet now...

At a glance, there was no one in the town, only a few crows on the branches were chattering.

The cicada noise forest is more quiet, and the bird song mountain is even quieter.

Amidst the noise of those crows, the already quiet Yuanxu Town seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist that cut off life, adding a bit of horror...

Looking at the uninhabited Yuanxu Town, Zhang Xiuyuan felt as if a stone was weighing on his heart, it was so heavy that he had difficulty breathing...

Zhuo Yuanxing stood there in a daze, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar town, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't lift his feet at all...

He didn't dare to look, didn't even dare to think about it...

On the other hand, Lu Zhaozhao clenched his fists, his joints turned white, and there was an inexplicable pain and bewilderment on his face.

She knew that she had guessed right, but it was too late.

Is this... really the work of the 'Holy Seed'?
