After speaking in a halting voice, Leah saw that the fabric of Frederica's clothes on her chest was rubbed black by her, and she struggled violently to get off.
Fearing to hurt her, Frederica didn't dare to use force and let her stand on the ground.
As soon as she landed, Leia put on her worn-out hood and stumbled deeper into the alley: "Thank you, beautiful sister."
Is this little subhuman girl worried about getting my clothes dirty?
She noticed something, then became confused. What was she thanking me for?
"Your Highness." Ellie used her staff to move the half-rotten apple that had rolled to her feet. "There are fresh bite marks on it. Has she been living by picking up garbage?"
"The Kingdom of Lake is very hostile to demihumans, and she doesn't even have the chance to find a job." Frederica looked at the thin figure that had disappeared around the corner in the distance.
"Can we..." Sardari looked at her.
"Let's find Zhang Mu first." Frederica looked worried. "Normally, he will be waiting for us at the city gate after he is out of danger.
But I haven't seen him for so many days, maybe he's in trouble."
No matter how powerful the adventure group is, they always have to return to the city for supplies, but the cycle varies.
Therefore, if you want to meet up with your companions, just wait at the city gate and you will definitely meet them.
But after killing three elves, Zhang Mu, who had a complete set of portable stoves in his inventory, had no idea of returning to the city to replenish potions.
If you need something, just find an open space outside and start cooking it on the spot.
Naturally, Zhang Mu could not have imagined that leaving a contact mark at the city gate would be much more effective than leaving it in a tavern.
Having made up their minds, the three elves did not hesitate and turned around and walked out of the city.
……
Blue Star, Municipal Building Conference Room.
Zhao Qi and Shi Ming had already left. The latter said that he was very tired from the "investigation work" in the past few days and asked for a room to sleep.
As for the former, he left in a rage and no one knew where he was going.
The director sat back in his seat and stopped Ye Ming and Yue Ruo who were preparing to set up an investigation team.
Then he explained his ideas to Mr. Sun.
The problem with the Bureau of Special Investigations now is not the lack of people, but the need to rebuild the entire structure.
After all, dealing with so-called abnormal events is very different from coming into contact with real immortal cultivators.
He was making an impassioned speech on how the Bureau of Special Investigations should be reformed when he suddenly noticed that Old Sun and the other two were all looking at him.
After a moment of silence, he came back to his senses and realized that he was not looking at himself, but at the back of himself.
I turned around subconsciously and sure enough, Xuxianren was standing there.
"You..." The director was shocked and was about to stand up, but was surprised to find that he couldn't stand up.
"It's okay, just sit down and talk."
Xu Xianren was sitting next to the director. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. He was curious about what method was used to hold him down out of thin air.
Immortal magic?
As if seeing through his thoughts, Asahito chuckled, "A little trick."
After saying this, he looked towards Sun Lao who was looking at him: "Now that the matter here is over, Xu, we have to go back to the mountain gate.
Goodbye, until the time comes."
Mountain gate?
The four of them looked up and down at Immortal Xu and were suddenly stunned. Old Sun stood up suddenly and put his hands on the table: "Immortal Xu, you, you mean, there is more than one immortal cultivator in the world?"
"Instead of asking this question." Xu's calm and faint smile turned strange, "Everyone, why do you think Xu is a lonely person?"
Elder Sun was a little excited, and a trace of red appeared on his old face: "Can I, can I have the honor to go to your mountain gate..."
"Sir." Xu interrupted him, "Even if Xu agreed, you can't go."
Seeing that Xuxianren did not explain the reason, Sun Laogang's straight back bent unconsciously, and asked again:
"Then, how many years has your sect been established?"
"How many years?"
Xu looked out the window at the bright sky: "Xu has never asked Master, so Xu does not know.
But Master and Xu said that the fertile fields not far from the mountain gate were actually a sea. "
What a change!
Several people subconsciously thought of this idiom.
So, how long did Xuxian live?
Mr. Sun felt like he was being scratched by a cat, but it was not polite to ask about age, so he gave the director a look.
The director didn't want to ask, but any official one level higher would be crushed, let alone the one in front of him who was many levels higher.
After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "Well, Master Xu, how old are you this year?"
"forget."
Seeing the disbelief on the faces of several people, Xu's figure faded and he said with a smile: "It's an unimportant matter, why remember it?"
Why does age matter to humans?
Because it directly shows where the life of an individual human being goes and when it ends.
At this moment, Mr. Sun and the director finally reacted. Yes, how could immortals have the same lifespan as ordinary people?
The air in the conference room stagnated for a moment.
There was a rare sense of panic in Old Sun's heart.
He couldn't imagine what kind of madness would be caused on Blue Star if longevity or even immortality became a reality before their eyes.
Zhang Mu returned home, untied the shadow spell and transformation spell, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After changing his clothes, he didn't waste any more time and directly summoned a portal to rush to the other world.
Hurry up and find Frederica and the others, open the treasure chest together, and then there is the account to be settled.
Chapter 82 Looking for Immortals
On the outskirts of Suzhou City, in a small mountain range.
The deep mountains, where few human figures were seen in the past, are now filled with a lot more noise and bustle.
On a gravel beach beside a stream, there is a campsite formed by tents of various colors and shapes, where men, women, old and young set up stone stoves and cook.
Outside, there are government officials in uniform looking after them.
They looked at the orderly campsite and the citizens' actions of packing their garbage into bags, and they were quite surprised.
I had thought that with so many people coming here, there would be damage to the environment, with plastic bags and other household garbage all over the floor, and that some verbal or physical violence would occur, but I didn't expect this to be the scene before my eyes.
Later they asked.
The citizens who were asked said that this was where the immortals lived and they dared not be disrespectful. If they angered the immortals, not to mention their fate, they would probably face disaster.
This can be considered an unexpected surprise.
The government officials were happy that their workload had been reduced, so they stayed in their tents with their colleagues, treating this mission as an outing at public expense.
But not all people who come here are looking for immortality.
There was an old Taoist in tattered Taoist robes, sitting cross-legged on a rock by the stream, looking depressed, gnawing on a pie he had brought with him.
The old Taoist is very depressed. The reason has to start from a few days ago.
A few days ago, he caught a fat sheep who was stupid and rich. He was worried that someone would come to his door to find him afterwards, so he followed the fat sheep out and traveled around.
While watching videos on the high-speed train, I saw a video of an immortal transcending tribulation.
He was quite shocked at that time.
In the video, the immortal was wearing a white robe that seemed untouched by the dust of the world, with a head full of white hair, but he looked like a young man.
There was no object supporting the feet, and it was suspended high in the air, facing the thick lightning snake that illuminated the dark sky.
The old Taoist grabbed his phone and shouted "Wulian Da Tianzun", thinking that Taoism would flourish. However, similar videos of people crossing the tribulation appeared one after another on the Internet platform.
Except for slight differences in appearance and clothing, the content is roughly the same.
This made the old Taoist very disappointed. After a long time, he found out that the rumor was spread by someone using a fake video.
But when they saw that the mountain range where the immortal disappeared was not far from their own gym, the citizens of Su City went into the mountains to look for the immortal, and their feelings of loss turned into excitement in an instant.
How many fat sheep are there?
Thinking that he was about to make a fortune, he decided to repair the statues of the Three Pure Ones in the temple. He immediately took the high-speed train at the next stop and returned to Suzhou.
After leaving the station, the old Taoist didn’t even go back to the Taoist temple, but ran into the mountains.
Look at the land that was deserted in the past, now it is full of donors who come here to seek immortals. No, donors, they are all donors who come here to seek immortals.
He excitedly took out his own set of things from the hanging cloth bag and went around the tents in the camp to sell them.
He thought, since these people believed in the emergence of immortals, wouldn't the magic tools and talismans of a genuine Taoist disciple like him sell well?
But the result was far from what he expected.
Whenever he stopped a donor and asked if he needed a magical tool to ward off evil spirits, he would be asked back.
"You said you are a disciple of the immortal?"
"Deserved."
"So can you fly?"
"what?"
"No? But it can withstand the lightning strike, right?"
The old Taoist's mouth twitched. He noticed that the donor's tone was full of doubt, so he straightened his chest and said, "You deserve it!"
The sun is shining brightly in the sky, and there can be a bolt of lightning from the blue. Can't it be that I am struck by lightning?
