Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 164
In the dark and damp cellar, a few rays of light shone in through the gaps in the wooden boards, grains of dust were clearly visible in the light, and unknown black insects crawled around on the ground covered with straw.

Several men and women who looked to be only five or six years old curled up in a corner, bringing warmth to each other.

creak creak!

The sound of boards being trampled on top of her head made Xing Wei startled, she hurriedly opened her eyes and looked up.

The next moment, the wooden board used to cover the head was opened.

Before he could see the eye shadow on it clearly, a black shadow was thrown down with a plop, and then the wooden board was covered again.

"This environment is really bad."

A complaining voice came.

Xing Wei hurriedly looked down, and found that the one who was thrown down was a child in brocade clothes.

The child was from a wealthy family, so he got up and patted the dirt on his body. When he found that he couldn't get rid of it, he gave up. After looking around, he found a place to sit leisurely.

Then he closed his eyes and rested his mind, as if he had fallen asleep.

Xing Wei was very surprised.

She has been here for more than ten days, and this is the first time she has seen such a calm person.

The boys and girls who were sent in in front usually cried for a long time, and they would not calm down until they had no strength left.

And usually when they are sent in, they should be in a coma state, and it takes half a day to wake up, why did this person wake up as soon as he was thrown in?

Xing Wei was curious, so she kept staring at the boy, and there was no movement for a long time.

"Could it be true that he fell asleep? This is too powerful!"

People like them have been imprisoned for several days, and they will only fall asleep when they are too tired to bear. It is like returning to their own home when the other party comes in and falls asleep.

etc!Could it be that his brain was broken?
Xing Wei thought of the boy a few days ago, because when he dropped it, his head hit the ground first, and he broke his head. He sat there that night, fell asleep and never woke up again.

She got up carefully, approached the boy, stretched out a hand, trying to see if he was still breathing.

The other children noticed her actions and looked over one after another.

Compared with adults, these children have a stronger tolerance, and have gradually adapted to this dark environment, regaining the unique curiosity of children.

Snapped!
Just when Xing Wei was about to reach out, the boy suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"What's your name?" the boy asked with a smile.

"Eh? I, Xing, Xingwei!"

Xing Wei replied instinctively.

She wanted to pull her hand back, but the other party's grip was too tight, and she couldn't pull it no matter what.

Until the boy voluntarily let go.

Xing Wei was shocked, obviously the other party was younger than her, why was he so strong.

"How did you get caught? Where are your family members?" The boy asked softly.

His flat and soft voice gave Xing Wei a father-like feeling, which made her relax unconsciously.

"My father passed away, and my mother went to help others. I lived alone. Someone knocked on the door. When I opened the door, I passed out. When I woke up, I was here!"

Xing Wei said the truth without hiding anything.

"What about you guys?"

The boy looked at the others again.

The child was not defensive at all, and the boy's voice was full of affinity, so he quickly spoke one after another.

The boys didn't know where to bring them food, healed their wounds, and told them stories.

The cellar, which should have been miserable, was now full of joyous songs and laughter.

After about two days, the cellar was opened again. This time, no new children were left, but a strong man jumped down. He lit a stick of sandalwood in his hand and shook it around. All the children were unconscious. Then he picked them up one by one and threw them out.

When they woke up again, they had already arrived at a cave outside Fangshi.

Xing Wei opened her eyes and saw the boy sitting on the ground, paddling around with a stone.

"Xu Da, aren't you afraid?"

Xing Wei walked over and asked.

Although she doesn't have much life experience, she has heard a lot of rumors from her mother, knowing that there are demon cultivators and evil cultivators in this world, and she likes to catch some children and use them to make alchemy and medicine.

Originally in Fang City, they still had a sliver of hope, but now they are transferred to the mountains, and they are afraid that they will be doomed.

Although the children present were not very old, they could more or less guess a little bit. They were all terrified in their hearts, their little faces were sullen, and several of them cried.

Even she herself felt that she might never see her mother again.

If there is a next time, she will never open the door to a stranger again.

Only Xu Da who appeared last, Xing Wei never saw him showing a trace of fear from the beginning to the end.

"Being afraid is death, not being afraid is death, so why not make yourself happy." Xu Da laughed.

"Huh? Seems to make sense!"

Xing Wei unconsciously nodded her head.

But something always feels wrong.

Another three days passed in a blink of an eye, during which a female disciple with a dull expression gave each of them a Bigu Pill.

On this day, the dull-looking female disciple came in again, kicked the sleeping children awake, then led them out of the cave where they lived, and turned left and right to an underground hall.

There is a huge cauldron in the center of the hall, surrounded by six monks wearing blue robes, sitting in six directions.

In a corner of the hall, there were dozens of children of about the same age who were crowded together, standing there numbly. Counting the group of them who just came in, there were almost a hundred of them.

Beside the child, there were four men and women in gray robes, guarding the surroundings to prevent the children from running around. The dull-looking woman also guarded the side after sending them away.

Everyone was waiting in full battle, as if they were waiting for someone.

Not long after, a man in a bright red robe walked in with a strange look.

"Is everything ready?"

"Return to the Lord! One hundred boys and girls are all here!"

One of the six green-robed monks said with a flattering smile.

"Since that's the case, let's start! If you can refine the Bleeding Essence Pill, you will definitely have a share!" said the red-robed man.

"Thank you, Lord!"

One by one bowed to thank each other, and their breathing became a little heavy.

The red-robed man sat on the main seat, followed by a series of preparations before alchemy, and then he looked at the several people guarding the children.

"One for every [-] coupons, men and women are separated, if something goes wrong, I can't spare you!"

"Yes!"

The five hurriedly bowed their heads, then turned to look at the children, considering which one to cast forward.

All the children were frightened and squeezed desperately into the middle, like chickens just hatched, only the boy named Xu Da stood there motionless.

Xing Wei stretched out her hand and pulled it, but she didn't pull it.

Shoot the first bird!
The few people didn't get used to Xu Da's obvious behavior, they grabbed him and threw him into the alchemy furnace, all the children covered their mouths in fright.

As Xu Da was thrown into the alchemy furnace, the flames that originally only covered the ground rose suddenly, almost enveloping the entire alchemy furnace, and the skin of a person who was roasted by the high temperature a few feet away was painful, let alone the inside of the alchemy furnace.

Xing Wei covered her mouth and looked at the pill furnace with fear, worry, and more despair.

What surprised everyone was that the child thrown in hadn't made any movement yet.

Shouldn't it fall to death when thrown in?

Thirty breaths passed quickly, and the red-robed man threw a lot of medicinal ingredients into it in the middle.

Just as the four gray-robed monks forcibly grabbed a child and were about to throw it in again, the red-robed man suddenly asked them to stop.

"The last one hasn't been refined yet, so wait a few more breaths!"

After only a few breaths passed, the red-robed man organized again, and this time he even frowned.

"What's going on? After so long, I can still feel the breath of life inside? Could it be that this kid is made of iron?"

The red-robed man squeezed the formula to increase the firepower, and the six green-robed monks also shot at the same time under his signal. The power of the flame rose sharply, and there was a tendency to transform into a red spiritual fire.

After another [-] breaths like this, not only did the breath of life inside not weaken, but it seemed to be a little stronger.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The red-robed man's complexion has become ugly. He has prepared carefully for so long, but he did not expect such an accident from the beginning.

"Add spirit wood to it, I want to see if he is really made of iron!"

Although he realized that something was wrong, the man in the red robe didn't intend to stop.

According to his guess, there might be something life-saving on the other party, which was activated in times of crisis.

These children were all captured from Fangshi. Their parents are both practitioners, so it's normal for them to have life-saving means.

He only blamed his own subordinates for being too useless and not found.

But no matter what is life-saving, it is impossible to withstand the endless high temperature.

Take it out at this time, the previous efforts will be wasted, it is better to simply refine it directly.

As time went by, quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour, at this moment even those children began to realize that something was wrong.

Even if the thing thrown in is an iron lump, it should have turned into molten iron, why is there still life in it.

The six green-robed monks who assisted in alchemy were already sweating, and most of their spiritual power was consumed.

At this time, the man in the red robe was struggling in his heart. He felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to stop.

"It seems that you only have these methods, which are really boring."

A childish voice came out from the pill furnace, and then the furnace cover, which weighed a thousand catties, was lifted by a childish hand, and the child thrown in by them walked into the air step by step as if stepping on a ladder .

"Da Xu?!"

Xing Wei couldn't help crying out.

The other kids also looked at monsters.

At this time, even a fool would like it, but this child is definitely not a child.

"Turn on the formation!"

The red-robed man let out a loud cry, and the six green-robed monks pressed their hands on the ground at the same time as him. Immediately, dense red runes rose up and turned into flying swords acting as bloody breaths, and shot towards the boy.

"A small Tier [-] formation dares to show off in front of me!"

The boy spread out his five fingers, and the flames of the alchemy furnace gathered quickly, forming layers of defense around him, blocking all the flying blood swords, no matter how many people pushed, they couldn't break through.

"Fire Control Technique? How could there be such a strong Fire Control Technique?" the red-robed man was shocked.

His cultivation has reached the perfection of Qi training, and he is only one step away from building a foundation. With the help of six mid-qi training subordinates and at the same time controlling the formation, this power cannot be blocked so easily even at the foundation building stage. The opponent just blocked the attack with the most common Fire Control Technique.

This person is too powerful to be defeated!
A high-level ground escape talisman appeared in his hand, and the red-robed man was about to run away immediately.

As for the life and death of his subordinates, he was too lazy to care.

As a monk of the magic way, sacrificing others to fulfill oneself is a very normal thing.

"Want to run? Hehe!"

The boy smiled coldly, pinched his fingers together, and a small ball of flame quickly decomposed into flying needles, which were shot out instantly.

puff puff!

All the monks in the room were shot through their heads by flying needles in the blink of an eye.

There is no resistance, including the strongest man in red robe.

The children huddled together in fright and did not dare to speak. At this time, they were also afraid of the boy.

Only Xing Wei took a step forward, hesitated to speak.

The boy jumped down from the alchemy furnace, at the same time, a blue divine bird with a long tail like a peacock flew out of his body, flew around several corpses, and flew from their bodies Pull out one soul after another.

That's right, the boy in front of him is Xu Mu.

As for the blue flying bird, it evolved from the blue sparrow. Xu Mu called it Qingluan. Its strength was not much weaker than that of ordinary golden pills, and it was specially used by him to protect this clone.

After reading the memories of these people, he knew the birth and history of these people.

It turned out to be a group of casual cultivators who had received the inheritance of the magic way. Because they heard that Baihefang City had a large population, they built a secret base nearby and wanted to catch children to make alchemy, but they were very unlucky and caught Xu Mu.

"It seems that the forces on the periphery of Fang City need to be strengthened. I'm afraid there will be fewer similar situations in the future!"

Although the Demonic Dao sect has been eliminated, the Demonic Dao inheritance is very difficult to destroy. In the process of eradicating the remnants of the Demonic Dao, many people must have obtained the inheritance.

The cultivation of the devil way is different from the righteous way, especially in the early stage, relying on some evil methods can make rapid progress.

This supports those practitioners with poor talent and insufficient resources to take risks.

This kind of thing cannot be banned no matter what.

In other words, the way of magic is part of the way of immortality, but their actions are more extreme and their methods are more ruthless.

It has only been 30 years since Tongyouzong and its affiliated powers were wiped out, and there must still be many demon monks.

These remnants of the evil way dare not go to the hinterland of Dazong. If they want to survive, they can only focus on Fangshi, which has just started rebuilding and is close to the original area of ​​the magic way.

According to the news from Chi Feiyan, the area originally managed by the Demon Dao is the real hardest hit area. There are often monks of the Demon Dao, and the fighting has never stopped. It may take at least a hundred years to completely eliminate the remnants of the Demon Dao.

Xu Mu picked up the storage bag of the man in the red robe, turned around and walked out of the cave.

"Xu, Xu Da! What shall we do?"

Xing Wei asked boldly.

"Just wait here, the guards from Fangshi will come and take you back later."

Xu Mu waved his hand with a smile and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

He didn't have time to send this group of brats back. The reason why he tricked himself into the team was just to see what these people were doing. Now that he had had enough fun, he naturally wanted to go back.

Not long after, Fangshi guards who were ordered by Ontology arrived in a hurry to clean up the mess and send these children back to their parents.

"Uncle, do you know where that Xu Da is?"

Xing Wei couldn't help but asked the guard.

"do not know!"

The guard shook his head.

"We just received an order from above to wipe out the demon monks! But since the surname is Xu, it should be an adult from the Xu family!"

Only masters in the foundation-building stage can kill so many demon monks. The only force in Fangshi that has the power to build a foundation is the Xu family, the manager of Fangshi. The other party's surname is Xu. Which one, he, a little guard, can't know.

There have also been instructions from above, telling them not to spread the news, let alone ask around.

"Master of the Xu family?"

Seeing that the guard didn't know, Xing Wei could only bury her doubts in her heart, only thinking that she must thank the other party if she had the opportunity in the future.

On the other side, the avatar who returned to Fangshi was sent to Liyang City by himself, and then escorted by people arranged by Chi Feiyan, and took a flying boat to Tianhezong to participate in the ten-year acceptance ceremony of Tianhezong.

At this time, the main body went through the space crack and went to Suxin Palace to see the two children who were about to be born.

Half a year later, the avatar arrived at Tianhe City, and went to Tianhezong to enroll with the newly obtained identity.

"I don't know if my avatar can get away with it?"
