Chapter 246: Black Mist Valley
Under the oppression of Xu Mu's spiritual power, the surface of the black slug's body glowed with a black light, proving that it was not an ordinary parasite.
Although it is a Gu worm, it is only the lowest level of a first-order Gu worm, because it is not someone who estimates the Gu, it is more likely that Chen Xiong accidentally infected it.
Xu Mu didn't study too much, he cast a sealing technique, first sealed the Gu worm, put it in a storage bag, and then performed a healing technique on Chen Xiong.
Chen Xiong, who was originally terminally ill, immediately became vigorous.
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving your life! Thank you for saving your life! ”
Chen Xiong got up and knelt on the ground, and thanked him again, and Chen Qingshan and his mother also knelt down again to thank him.
Xu Mu waved his hand and asked them to get up.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the house, and an old man with hair and beard as white as snow walked into the house with the support of a middle-aged strong man.
"Little Lao'er has seen the Immortal Master!"
The old man trembled and wanted to salute Xu Mu, but Xu Mu stretched out his hand to support him.
"You are?"
"Little Lao'er is the patriarch of Chenjia Village! This is the village chief of Chenjia Village, and also my grandson, Chen Yan! ”
The old man pointed to the middle-aged strong man who was supporting him beside him and said.
"I've seen the Immortal Master!"
Chen Yan also bowed to Xu Mu.
"You're welcome!" Xu Mu nodded, and then said: "The first time I came here, I didn't know that the one in the village was well-informed, and I wanted to ask about something!" ”
"Xiao Lao'er has gone out to join the army before, and he has some knowledge, maybe he can solve the doubts of the immortal master!" The old man spoke.
"That couldn't be better!" Xu Mu said with a smile.
"Master Immortal, this place is small, why don't you move to the villain's house?" Chen Yan said tentatively.
"It's good!"
Xu Mu nodded.
Chen Qingshan's home is indeed a bit small, and it is full of people, like watching monkeys.
Although Chen Qingshan's family is unwilling, it is not easy to say anything, who made their family indeed a little small, if Xu Mu is forced to stay, it will seem a little selfish.
When he walked out of the courtyard and looked at the fence on the road, which was crowded with people, Xu Mu couldn't help frowning.
"Have you seen enough?"
Xu Mu snorted coldly, and everyone only felt cold from their heads to their feet, and some people sat directly on the ground in fright.
At this time, Chen Yan also reacted, and scolded a few prestigious middle-aged people in the village: "If you don't drive people away, don't you die!" ”
Only then did everyone react, they were not facing an ordinary person, but an immortal master who could take their lives with a raise of his hand.
Driven by a few leaders, the frightened villagers quickly dispersed.
"Just say it in the yard! Walking around is only a matter of trouble! ”
Xu Mu, who was a little uncomfortable by this group of villagers, simply didn't go to the village chief's house, and stood in the courtyard to ask.
"Yes!"
The old man and Chen Yan naturally didn't dare to have any opinions, but they couldn't help but feel a little sorry in their hearts, if Xu Mu could move their family, then their family's prestige in the village would definitely be on a higher level.
Seeing that Xu Mu didn't leave, Chen Qingshan's family immediately began to prepare meals for Xu Mu, and Xu Mu remembered the matter of wild boars, so he took them out of the storage bag and handed them over for processing.
Chen Qingshan's family was naturally thankful again, at this time, Chen Qingshan's sister Chen Qing'e, who went out to pick wild vegetables, just rushed back, and saw that her father was back as before, and she didn't understand what was going on, so she was pulled to help in a daze.
Chen Ying and his eldest brother Chen Xiong muttered a few words, and when they saw Chen Xiong nodding, they hurriedly ran out, and soon came back with a bunch of things and a group of people.
This is probably the highest standard of hospitality for the farmer.
Regarding the actions of the Chen family, Xu Mu didn't pay too much attention to it, and intently inquired about the situation around the old man.
Compared with Chen Ying and Chen Qingshan, the old man who has lived for almost a hundred years knows a lot more things.
According to the old man, he joined the army when he was young, ran all over the nearby four or five state capitals, and even met the immortal master several times, but it is a pity that he has no cultivation talent, otherwise he may have the opportunity to become an immortal master, every time he talks about this, Lao Tzu can't help but sigh.
The two chatted until the evening, and in order to express his gratitude, Xu Mu gave the old man a pill of health pills, which was enough to make him live a long life and live for a long time.
As expected, the Chen family really held a feast, chicken, duck, fish, and meat, almost took out all the valuable things, and borrowed a lot from the villagers.
Many well-known villagers in the village were invited to come over to accompany Xu Mu to dinner, but in the face of Xu Mu, the immortal master, everyone seemed very restrained.
Xu Mu is not picky about food, but it is impossible for him to feast on it, the Jindan period monk can already completely clear the valley, and there is no nutrition to eat ordinary food, and in the face of a table full of delicacies, he simply ate two bites of vegetarian dishes.
At the wine table, Xu Mu still asked about the surrounding situation, such as whether there were any big families of the big sect and whether there were any special places.
Most of the villagers knew very little, so Chen Xiong provided him with some useful information.
About fifty miles away from their village, there was a valley shrouded in black fog for many years, and all the villagers or wild beasts that strayed into it never came out again, and it was suspected that there were demons settling there.
And the reason why Chen Xiong got sick was also because when he was hunting, he inadvertently approached the valley, and he thought that he would be fine if he didn't go in, but he got sick soon after he came back, and he went to the town to find a doctor, and the doctor couldn't do anything, if it wasn't for Xu Mu's action, he probably had to wait for death at home.
Xu Mu guessed that the black mist should be a formation, and it was likely to be inhabited by cultivators who practiced witchcraft techniques.
"Haven't you looked for the Palm Immortal?" Xu Mu asked.
The Great Yuan Dynasty is different from other places, it does not mean that you can start a sect by finding a place, dividing a piece of land, and building a few houses.
In the Great Yuan Dynasty, whether it is a large or small family or a sect, it must be reported to the Palm Immortal Division, and it can only be established with the approval of the Palm Immortal Division, and it must be taxed every year like ordinary people.
Xu Mu felt that the situation of the Great Yuan Dynasty was somewhat similar to that of the Sea Clan Kingdom, but it was more complicated than the system of the Sea Clan Kingdom.
Like immortal cultivators collecting taxes, in the entire Tian Yuan Continent, only the Great Yuan Dynasty can do it, and it can also be seen from this point that the Great Yuan Dynasty is powerful.
“……”
Hearing Xu Mu's words, everyone looked at each other.
"Master Immortal, we are just ordinary people, where we dare to provoke this kind of thing, if the Immortal Division can deal with it, it will be fine, if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, we can bear it!"
To put it bluntly, it is afraid of retaliation from the other party.
The difference in strength between the two is huge, and if it is revenge, they simply cannot afford it.
In addition, that black fog, although it exists all year round, as long as you don't provoke it, it won't harm you.
As a result, no one wants to ask for trouble.
After understanding it clearly, Xu Mu didn't say anything more, but secretly wrote it down in his heart that he had to go over and see it in person if he had the opportunity.
After all, if the Xu family wants to move here in the future, they can't let there be unstable factors around.
After dinner, Xu Mu refused the Chen family's retention and rushed to the nearest Chilin Town overnight.
Looking at Xu Mu's distant back, Chen Qingshan was a little depressed, he boldly wanted to worship Xu Mu as a teacher just now, but was rejected by Xu Mu with a sentence that he had no cultivation talent, and the loss in his heart can be imagined.
It's just that it is difficult to extinguish it after the thought arises in people's hearts, and soon after Chen Qingshan secretly left the house to pursue the dream of an immortal master.
On the other side, Xu Mu rode the donkey sent by the village chief and walked leisurely under the moonlight.
Halfway through, I saw a fire in the distance.
