Chapter 247 Black Mist Valley

Under the pressure of Xu Mu's spiritual power, the black slug's body surface glowed with black light, proving that it was no ordinary parasite.

Although it is a poisonous insect, it is only the lowest level of first-order poisonous insect. Because it is not someone who estimates that the poisonous insect was poisoned, it is more likely that Chen Xiong accidentally contracted it.

Xu Mu didn't study too much. He used the sealing technique, first sealed the Gu insects, put them in the storage bag, and then used a healing technique on Chen Xiong.

Chen Xiong, who was originally seriously ill, immediately became lively and energetic.

"Thank you, Master Immortal, for your life-saving grace! Thank you, Master Immortal, for your life-saving grace!"

Chen Xiong stood up and knelt on the ground, thanking him profusely again. Chen Qingshan and his mother also knelt down to express their thanks again.

Xu Mu waved his hand and asked them to get up.

At this moment, there was a noise 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.

"The little old man has seen the immortal master!"

The old man tremblingly wanted to salute Xu Mu, but Xu Mu stretched out his hand to support him.

"Who are you?"

"The little old man is the clan elder of Chenjia Village! This is the village chief of Chenjia Village and my grandson, Chen Yan!"

The old man pointed to the middle-aged man beside him who was supporting him.

"I've met the Immortal Master!"

Chen Yan also bowed to Xu Mu.

"You two are welcome!" Xu Mu nodded, and then said: "This is my first time here. I don't know that the person in the village is very knowledgeable. I want to ask some questions!"

"The little old man went out to join the army before, so he has some knowledge. Maybe he can help the immortal master solve his doubts!" ​​the old man said.

"That would be great!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Master Immortal, the place here is small, how about moving to a little person's home?" Chen Yan said tentatively.

"That's fine!"

Xu Mu nodded.

Chen Qingshan's home is indeed a bit small, and it is surrounded by people everywhere, like watching monkeys.

Although Chen Qingshan's family is unwilling to give in, it's hard to say anything. Who knows that their family is indeed a bit small. If Xu Mu is forced to stay, it will seem a bit selfish.

When he walked out of the yard and looked at the walls along the road, which were crowded with people, Xu Mu couldn't help but frown.

"Have you seen enough?"

Xu Mu snorted coldly, and everyone felt cold from head to toe, and some people collapsed on the ground in fear.

At this time, Chen Yan also reacted and yelled at several prestigious middle-aged people in the village: "You are risking your life if you don't drive them away, right?"

Only then did everyone realize that they were not facing an ordinary person, but an immortal master who could take their lives with just a raise of his hand.

Driven by several leaders, the frightened villagers quickly dispersed.

"Just say it in the yard! Walking around will only cause more trouble!"

Xu Mu, who was made a little uncomfortable by these villagers, simply stopped going to the village chief's house and stood in the yard to ask questions.

"yes!"

The old man and Chen Yan naturally did not dare to have any objections, but they could not help but feel a little regretful. If Xu Mu could move their family, their family's prestige in the village would surely rise to a higher level.

Seeing Xu Mu not leaving, Chen Qingshan's family immediately started busy preparing meals for Xu Mu. Only then did Xu Mu remember the wild boar, so he took it out of Cong's storage bag and gave it to them for disposal.

Naturally, Chen Qingshan's family expressed their gratitude again. At this time, Chen Qingshan's sister Chen Qing'e, who had gone out to pick wild vegetables, happened to come back. Seeing that her father was recovering as before, she still didn't understand what was going on, so she was pulled to help in a daze. .

Chen Ying and his eldest brother Chen Xiong whispered a few words. When Chen Xiong nodded, he hurried out and came back soon with a bunch of things and a group of people. They set up a pot and started a stove outside, chopping wood and making a fire. , obviously for a big banquet.

This is probably the highest standard of hospitality for farmers.

Xu Mu didn't pay too much attention to the actions of the Chen family and focused on asking the old man about the situation around him.

Compared to Chen Ying and Chen Qingshan, the old man who has lived for almost a hundred years really knows much more.

According to what the old man said, he joined the army when he was young, traveled to four or five nearby states, and even met an immortal master several times. It was a pity that he had no talent for cultivation, otherwise he might have a chance to become an immortal master. Every time he talked about This, I couldn't help but sigh.

The two chatted until the evening. In order to express his gratitude, Xu Mu gave the old man a health pill, which was enough to make him live a long life.

In the evening, as expected, the Chen family held a grand banquet, including chicken, duck, fish, and everything else. They took out almost all valuable things, and also borrowed a lot from the villagers.

Many famous villagers in the village were invited to have dinner with Xu Mu, but they all seemed very reserved when facing Xu Mu, the immortal master.

Xu Mu is not picky about food, but it is impossible for him to feast on it. Golden elixir stage monks can already achieve complete fasting. Ordinary food has no nutrition at all. Faced with a table full of delicacies, he simply eats it. Two bites of vegetarian food.

At the wine table, Xu Mu still asked about the surrounding situation, such as whether there were any big families and whether there was anything special.

Most of the villagers knew very little, but Chen Xiong provided him with some useful information.

About fifty miles away from their village, there is a valley shrouded in black fog all year round. Villagers or beasts who stray into it never come out again. It is suspected that demons have settled there.

The reason why Chen Xiong fell ill was because he inadvertently approached the valley while hunting. He thought that nothing would happen if he didn't go in. However, he fell ill soon after returning. He went to the town to see a doctor, but the doctor could not do anything. , if Xu Mu hadn't taken action, he would probably have been waiting for death at home.

Xu Mu guessed that the black mist should be a formation, and there were probably practitioners of witchcraft and Gu inhabiting it.

"Have you not found the Zhang Immortal Division?" Xu Mu asked.

The Dayuan Dynasty is different from other places. It does not mean that you can find a place, divide a piece of land, build a few houses, and start a sect.

In the Dayuan Dynasty, no matter whether it was a large or small family or a sect, they had to report to the Immortal Division and be established with the approval of the Immortal Division. They also had to pay taxes every year like ordinary people.

Xu Mu felt that the situation of the Dayuan Dynasty was somewhat similar to that of the Sea Kingdom, but it was more complicated than the system of the Sea Kingdom.

Like immortal cultivators collecting taxes, only the Dayuan Dynasty in the entire Tianyuan Continent could do this. From this, we can see how powerful the Dayuan Dynasty was.

"..."

After hearing Xu Mu's words, everyone looked at each other in shock.

"Master Immortal, we are just ordinary people. If we dare to provoke such a thing, it would be fine if the Palm Immortal Division can deal with it cleanly. If there are one or two fish that slip through the net, we can bear it! "

To put it bluntly, they are afraid of the other party's revenge.

There is a huge gap in strength between the two, and they simply cannot afford revenge.

In addition, although the black fog exists all year round, it will not harm you as long as you don't provoke it.

In this way, no one is willing to ask for trouble.

After understanding it clearly, Xu Mu didn't say anything more, but secretly made a note in his mind that he would have to go and see it in person if he had the chance.

After all, the Xu family will move here in the future, and there cannot be unrest around them.

After dinner, Xu Mu refused the Chen family's offer to stay and rushed to the nearest Chilin Town overnight.

Looking at Xu Mu's retreating figure, Chen Qingshan was a little lost. He had just boldly wanted to become Xu Mu's disciple, but Xu Mu rejected him by saying that he had no talent for cultivation. You can imagine the disappointment in his heart.

It's just that once thoughts arise in people's minds, it's difficult to extinguish them. Not long after, Chen Qingshan secretly left home to pursue his dream of becoming an immortal master.

On the other side, Xu Mu rode the donkey given by the village chief and walked leisurely under the moonlight.

Halfway through, I saw a fire in the distance.
