I am a living immortal.

The female ghost did not appear, and even if she did, it wouldn't be enough points.

The group of bodyguards were acting strangely. They were normal at first, but the longer they stayed in the temple, the more nervous they became.

He thought it was the land that was causing trouble.

But he didn't see any trace of magic, which could only mean that it was a problem of this group of people themselves.

Wei Ming found some straw, shook off the ashes, and lay down to rest.

Su Mu sat cross-legged in meditation as usual.

When this group of people saw Su Mu's action, their eyes changed and their anxiety weakened a little.

.........

The rain gradually stopped in the second half of the night.

Nothing happened during the night, and at daybreak, the group left in a hurry.

"This group of escorts is so strange." A faint voice came from beside Su Mu.

"You didn't sleep!"

"You haven't slept either, have you? Besides, how can you sleep with a bunch of ferocious-looking guys staring at you? Let me tell you, I've heard of someone being stabbed to death in his sleep." Wei Ming yawned.

"What's so strange about them?"

"Seventeen or eighteen highly skilled warriors, and all they have is a carriage and a box. What kind of treasure is this? They're so tired from the journey, and they're obviously not ordinary martial artists. It's not cheap. And they're obviously a bit anxious, as if they're afraid of something happening."

"Maybe it's a martial arts secret manual or something like that."

Wei Ming rolled his eyes and called Su Mu ignorant. "There's no need for a box for martial arts manuals. Wouldn't it be easier to just carry them on your body?"

"That's quite strange." Su Mu agreed.

"Let's go too. Anything that can scare a group of people with great martial arts skills doesn't seem simple no matter how you think about it." Wei Ming's intuition told him that it would be better to leave.

"Let's go!"

The two also left the abandoned land temple, exactly in the opposite direction of the group of bodyguards, which meant that this group was heading to Yuannan City.

The village that Wei Ming wanted to take him to was even farther away than Qingyun Lane.

The two walked and stopped, and before it was completely light, they saw the village at the foot of the mountain. There were dozens of households, and many people were already busy working in the fields.

"Don't be fooled by how close it seems. That's just from where we are standing on the mountain. Actually, there's still a long way to go," Wei Ming reminded.

"It's really not easy for a few seeds."

"Hahaha, we won't have to go through so much trouble next year."

The two walked down the mountain. There was a winding path, which should be the one that the villagers often walked on. It was paved with some stone slabs. Last night's rain had not dried up yet, so it was still a bit slippery to walk on, and some sections were very steep.

Halfway through the walk, Wei Ming suddenly asked, "Where did you buy these shoes?"

"Ah...ah?" Su Mu didn't react for a moment and didn't understand why she asked that.

"Look at mine." Wei Ming raised his foot.

There were already a lot of clumps of mud stuck to the soles of my feet.

"This is an exclusive secret recipe. I'll give you a pair when the time comes." Su Mu laughed.

"That's great! No wonder you don't feel tired when walking."

"It's not all because of the shoes."

The two men were joking with each other, and the goat followed behind them, taking a bite here and there, wanting to taste everything, high and low.

The two soon met an old man who was about to go up the mountain.

When the old man saw the two people, he avoided them from a distance, glancing at them from time to time.

"What's going on? Why does it seem like he doesn't like us?" Su Mu frowned and asked in a low voice, his eyes full of vigilance.

"I don't know? It wasn't like this when I came here before!" Wei Ming was also a little confused.

At first, the two thought it was a special case.

But after entering the village, the village, which was originally noisy and somewhat lively, immediately became quiet. Wei Ming wanted to go forward and talk to someone, but no one dared to talk to him.

Until the person he met last time quietly told Wei Ming to wait until the village chief came.

This made him even more confused. They just came to buy some seeds, so why did they ask the village chief to come?

resignedly.

The two could only wait.

Su Mu didn't expect that buying seeds would cause so many twists and turns.

After a while, an old man in his forties or fifties with white hair came over with a group of strong young men. When he saw Wei Ming, his eyes softened and no longer had the aggressive look at the beginning.

But he was still wary of Su Mu, a stranger.

Wei Ming was called over and after he explained his purpose to the village chief, the heavy and depressing atmosphere was dispelled. The village chief waved his hand and told everyone to go about their own business.

The crowd dispersed.

Wei Ming had a strange look on his face when he came back.

"What happened?" Su Mu asked.

"Let me tell you. Don't blame me for being nervous. It's really, well... it's hard to put it into words. By the way, young man, what kind of seeds do you want?"

"I want some fruits and vegetables." Su Mu replied with a bow.

"Okay, come with us. You've come at a really bad time. Just yesterday, the Linjia Village next door was completely slaughtered by some unknown force, even the cattle and sheep were not spared."

"The whole village!!"

When the village chief spoke of this, his face turned grim, as if he didn't want to recall the horrific scene.

"People who went to visit relatives in Linjia Village were so frightened that they ran back crawling."

"He hasn't woken up yet and has typhoid fever."

"We later sent some people to check it out, and even during the most chaotic times, it wasn't like this."

The village chief seemed reluctant to talk more about it.

"Take the seeds and leave quickly." The village chief sighed and distributed some common fruits and vegetables to Su Mu.

Su Mu handed over one or two taels of silver.

This is obviously more than the price of the seeds, and it is given as a thank you to the village chief for the reminder.

The village chief took a closer look at Su Mu.

"You are quite generous, young man."

Even the name of a tael of silver changed from a young man to a young man.

This made the two of them feel a little helpless.

After putting the seeds away, the two men politely declined the village chief's breakfast and stood up to leave. From the village chief's few words, they could understand the seriousness of the matter.

Su Mu was not afraid, but Wei Ming was an ordinary person and came here to help Su Mu, so he could not have any accidents.

The two planned to return the same way when the sky cleared up.

Wei Ming calmed down after his initial surprise, his face full of resentment.

"Aren't you afraid?" Su Mu was a little curious.

"Afraid? Not afraid! Don't let me meet him. Even if it costs me my life, I have to make him pay. Who on earth is so cruel and mad?! To do such a heartless thing, worse than pigs and dogs..."

Well, this is really Wei Ming's character. This person directly overturned his impression of scholars. He is bold, careful, and has a sincere heart. The most important thing is that he is not pedantic and has self-knowledge. He does not have an inflated sense of justice and does not follow whatever he hears.

"It may not be a human." Su Mu said lightly.

“Eh…” Wei Ming, who had just been cursing, suddenly stopped.
