I am a living immortal.

This group of people were still not strong, but they were much better than those in the village. The horses they rode were mostly old horses, which seemed to be two different breeds from the ones Su Mu had seen before.

The leader was wearing a leather suit with a coarse linen shirt underneath. The blood, oil and dirt stains on the clothes had dissipated their original color. He held a long knife in his hand and smiled, revealing his yellowed teeth, looking extremely terrifying.

There were six or seven people in total, all wearing different clothes, mixed and matched randomly, but all of them wore red headscarves on their foreheads.

Robber! The word is on the verge of coming out.

Compared to Su Mu, more people looked at the old goat. He licked the cracked corners of his mouth, and the sound of him swallowing saliva was particularly obvious in this quiet village.

"Where are you from?"

The leader stopped his younger brothers from making any moves. The roads in the village were under their control, so how could there be one more person out of nowhere?

Moreover, that evil corpse...

Looking at the evil corpse that had disappeared, a trace of fear flashed in the leader's eyes.

"You are a smart man." Su Mu was a little surprised. He thought that these people would shout to kill him like fools, and then divide the old goat and eat it. That would be much simpler.

Unexpectedly, there was a normal person among them.

It's a bit unpleasant. Robbers should use knives instead of words.

Hearing Su Mu's answer and calm expression, the leader urged Lao Ma to take two steps back.

"Who are you?"

"Boss, why waste time talking to him...just..."

"Shut up!" Scolding his men, the leader stared at Su Mu, waiting for his answer.

"Would you believe me if I told you I was just a traveler passing through?"

"I believe..." The leader gave everyone a look and made way.

"No matter who you are, you take the Yangguan Road and I take the single-plank bridge. We won't interfere with each other. How do you do that?"

At this time, his brothers also came to their senses and looked at Su Mu with different eyes: "Could he be... No way, the only ones who can live freely and comfortably in today's world are them."

With fear in their eyes, several people pulled back at the reins.

What the hell is this? He's talking nonsense and doesn't even give a comprehensive explanation.

Su Mu patted the old goat.

The old goat understood and walked forward.

After walking three steps away, Su Mu suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, where are the women and children in this village?"

Su Mu's words made the air around them quiet for a moment, and even the horses became restless.

When no one replied, Su understood where to go.

With a sigh, he lowered his head.

The flowing blood echoed with the setting sun in the sky.

The old goat didn't take those steps to leave, but was afraid that the blood would splash on him.

"You've been watching for so long, and you're not coming out?" Su Mu said.

"Your knife is so sharp." A figure walked out from the shadow under the tree. He wore a conical hat and a straw raincoat with red stripes. He held a knife in his left hand and a pen in his right hand. There was a black scarf under the conical hat, so his face could not be seen at all. The sound of chains jingling could be heard as he walked along.

It should be an organization similar to the Demon Slayer Bureau.

Although Su Mu had never met him, he still knew something from his fellow apprentices.

"You are what they call..."

"The Third Yamen."

Su Mu nodded: "Are you here to investigate this village?"

"Not really. I'm more interested in you now."

"According to the imperial decree, all sorcerers in the world must enter the imperial capital. Why are you disobeying it?"

"Are you here to call for an explanation?" Su Mu frowned.

"The emperor's order is as heavy as heaven, and anyone who disobeys it shall be beheaded!" The strange man held down the long sword in his hand.

"I'll ask you one last time, why are you disobeying my order?"

After asking, a murderous intent enveloped Su Mu. Three seconds later, the scarlet long knife was swung out and slashed directly towards Su Mu.

Su Mu could only give three words to this weirdo who would attack someone at the slightest disagreement.

"go to hell."

With a wave of his hand, the long sword shattered, the bamboo hat on his body exploded, and the whole person flew backwards before he could come to his senses. His limbs were all broken, and the blood dyed his face scarf red. He died with his eyes open like the robbers.

This world is so magical.

No, it's Yan Guo who is too normal.

Is this the atmosphere at the end of the dynasty?

Su Mu raised his head, like an old dragon struggling to survive.

In the twilight years of the dynasty, the people suffered from corruption, natural disasters, man-made disasters, rampant ghosts and monsters, and evil spirits.

This is the combination of all the necessary conditions for destroying a country.

No wonder the emperor wanted all sorcerers to enter the imperial capital. This country is really hopeless.

He could already imagine what the entire Dayu looked like now.

Now he understood why the Heavenly Court did not care when it came to Xunyang Lake.

There is a priority for illness. The Xunyang Lake tearing the sky apart was only a disaster for one county, but with this Dayu, I'm afraid that the whole country is experiencing incidents like the Xunyang Lake incident all the time, which affects dozens of states, hundreds of counties, and tens of millions of people. Can the city god here handle it?

Speaking of which.

Su Mu opened her mouth and said, "The land is here!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if he was speaking the divine law. A strange Taoist charm spread out, and in the blink of an eye, smoke rose.

The God of Land appeared in front of Su Mu in a trance.

Seeing Su Mu, he immediately bowed and said, "I, the humble deity, pay my respects to the Immortal. I wonder what instructions you have for me."

"I'm new here, and I want to learn from the land."

The God of Land looked around and understood the true intention of the decree from the immortal in front of him.

"The Immortal Master wants to ask about the social order in Dayu."

"Just as the immortal has seen, the people are living in poverty, ghosts are rampant, and the world is in trouble. I'm afraid that each year will be worse than the last. Grain production is decreasing year by year, while taxes are rising year by year, and natural disasters are frequent."

"Plus, the person sitting on the throne is incompetent and unjust."

"The Immortal Master has also seen that all the sorcerers in the world have entered the imperial capital and are blessed by the dragon energy of humanity. How many of them are sorcerers and how many are monsters? Who can tell them apart?"

"The Imperial Capital? That's a demon cave."

"Spitting out clouds and mist without any regard for anything, disrupting the order of heaven and earth. This Northern Province is a major grain-producing province, but due to neglect of food conservation, and the once-in-a-century drought, famine has broken out."

"There was once a famine in the Northern Province, which supported half the nation's population with just one state. Isn't that absurd?"

"What kind of relief food did the states send? Half sand, half chaff."

"Isn't that ridiculous?"

"The number of people who have died in the past ten years has caused the underworlds to burst. The wandering spirits day and night can't even tell the difference between day and night. Evil spirits and the souls of the wronged dead are everywhere, even the paths of reincarnation are lined up. Don't you think this is absurd?"

"The Heavenly Court, the Fire Department, and the Thunder Department come down to the mortal world every day to eliminate demons. However, no matter how many demons they eliminate or how many devils they slay, they cannot solve the root cause."

"With the support of the Great Yu's national destiny for more than 200 years, being neither alive nor dead, half dead is the most painful thing."

"Master, this is not the human world."

“It’s hell…”

Listening to the land's story, Su Mu fell silent for a moment.
