Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 671: A Grand Luo Immortal Living in Mortal Village
Mo Wuji was from Earth. Even though his cultivation had reached the early stages of the Grand Luo Immortal realm, his mindset was still different from that of many cultivators. The people before him were all ordinary mortals without spiritual roots, which to Mo Wuji, didn't make much of a difference.
"Old Sir, you are too kind. I should be the one thanking you for saving me," Mo Wuji said with a cupped fist, expressing his gratitude.
Yu Sheng was somewhat stunned. Unlike Yu Jingfeng, he had seen many immortals, and had even worked as a handyman at the periphery of a large immortal sect. However, among the immortals he had seen, even the worst ones would never be as polite as Mo Wuji.
No, Yu Sheng quickly sensed the difference between Mo Wuji and other immortals. Other immortals were surrounded by immortal aura, giving people a feeling of arrogance and inaccessibility. This immortal in front of him seemed to be just like them, ordinary and unremarkable. Could it be that he was mistaken, and this person was not an immortal, but just an ordinary mortal without spiritual roots?
But that wasn't right either. He had clearly seen Mo Wuji when he first arrived. He was practically a head attached to a boneless, fleshless skeleton. Now, in less than a year, Mo Wuji had completely recovered. If he wasn't an immortal, that would be impossible.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare..." Yu Sheng didn't dare accept Mo Wuji's gesture, and quickly said, "If Immortal Master wishes to go to a true Immortal City, it is quite far from here. This old man only knows a rough direction."
Mo Wuji still didn't know where this was. The fact that he had been safe and sound here for a year indicated that this was a relatively remote place. He knew that during his unconsciousness, he had been using his spiritual will to communicate with the Hongmeng Vitality to nourish his body.
Because he was different from others, he had a Storage Spiritual Network. Using his spiritual will to communicate with the Hongmeng Vitality to nourish his body started with the Storage Spiritual Network circulating in a cycle. This circulation hardly leaked outwards.
Not leaking outwards didn't mean there was no aura at all. As long as he was still recovering his physical body, if an immortal got too close, there was a risk of being exposed. The fact that he hadn't been exposed for more than half a year meant that this place was indeed very remote. In such a long time, not a single immortal had passed by.
Compared to the Mo Wuji of a year ago, the current Mo Wuji had changed not only in the strength of his body, but also in his mindset.
He did have an immortal puppet, a Rank 7 Pill Emperor. However, these were insignificant to most powerhouses in the Immortal World. In the eyes of others, he was just a tiny ant.
What he needed was not to wander around, but to settle down. This was not only a settling down of his understanding of cultivation techniques, but also a settling down in his growth process.
Whether it was the Thunder Sect, the Great Sword Dao, or the Great Vast Immortal Sect, he would take revenge. But revenge was not now, but after he had settled down.
"I would like to stay here for a while, is that possible?" Mo Wuji asked with a cupped fist.
Yu Sheng quickly said, "Of course, Immortal Master..."
Mo Wuji quickly waved his hand, "My cultivation is low, I can't be considered an immortal. Just call me Da Huang from now on. May I ask for your name, Old Sir?"
Yu Sheng was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand. Before he could speak, Mo Wuji said again, "Old Sir should also know why I appeared here. Just call me Da Huang, I was originally the same as you."
"Yes, yes..." Even though Mo Wuji said this, Yu Sheng still nodded repeatedly with some trepidation. After saying "yes" several times, he pointed to Yu Jingfeng and said to Mo Wuji, "This is my grandson, Yu Jingfeng."
Then he pointed to the blood-covered woman and said, "This is my granddaughter-in-law, Lian Yingxian. This old man's name is Yu Sheng, and I have always lived in Xianqi Village..."
Granddaughter-in-law? Mo Wuji looked at Yu Jingfeng in puzzlement, and then at Lian Yingxian. Although Lian Yingxian was covered in blood, and there was still a look of fear in her eyes, she still looked very composed. In addition to her beauty, she also had a kind of intellectual charm, and she exuded an air of elegance. A pair of rough hands seemed to indicate that she was not a lazy person.
Although Yu Jingfeng was tall, his childish aura made Mo Wuji suspect that he was not even fifteen years old yet. A fifteen-year-old boy with such a composed and mature wife?
Fortunately, this surprise was only fleeting. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Sheng quickly explained, "Jingfeng is only thirteen years old. Xian'er is Jingfeng's sister-in-law. Jingfeng's brother, Jingshan, had an accident."
Mo Wuji awkwardly touched his face. It seemed that Yu Jingfeng had called Lian Yingxian sister-in-law before.
"Immortal... Da Huang, please sit down and talk," Yu Sheng said. Although he was very uneasy in his heart, he had more contact with immortals and knew that it was better to speak according to Mo Wuji's instructions.
After the few of them sat down, Mo Wuji took the initiative to say, "I see that Miss Yingxian seems to have encountered something. I wonder if you can tell me about it?"
The Yu family had saved his life. He asked this question with the intention of helping. He did have the idea of living in seclusion, but seclusion didn't mean being a coward. If his benefactor was being bullied, he would naturally not stand idly by if he could help.
Lian Yingxian also felt that Mo Wuji seemed to be different from those immortals. He spoke gently and did not treat them as lowly beings in an overbearing manner.
"Yes..." Yu Sheng stood up again and responded. Only after Mo Wuji gestured for him to sit down did he sit down again and say to Lian Yingxian, "Xian'er, I just heard about what happened in Qingze Village. Tell Da Huang about it."
After talking for a while, Yu Sheng felt that Mo Wuji was indeed not the kind of superior immortal, and he relaxed a little.
Lian Yingxian had not been sitting down all this time. Hearing Yu Sheng's words at this moment, she quickly bowed respectfully to Mo Wuji before saying, "A year ago, Duo Sheng came back. Because he was seriously injured, his sister Duo Cai went to the depths of the Extreme Ze Sea to find immortal medicine for him. As a result, his sister was injured in the sea and could not move. During this time, I have been taking care of the two siblings..."
Yu Sheng was afraid that Mo Wuji would not understand, so he explained from the side, "Yingxian's home is in Qingze Village, which is less than a hundred miles away from here. The Duo Sheng siblings and Yingxian are neighbors, and they have been helping each other before. Qingze Village and our Xianqi Village are the residences of some mortals without spiritual roots. The two places often have marriages and transactions, so everyone is considered familiar."
A distance of a hundred miles was not a very long distance for mortals living in the Immortal World.
Mo Wuji's spiritual will swept out, and he saw a village less than a hundred miles away. At this moment, the village was full of broken walls and ruins, and dozens of charred corpses were lying scattered. It was obvious that the attackers had not deliberately burned the scene.
Lian Yingxian continued, "Originally, after a period of time, Duo Cai would be able to get up and walk. Today, two immortals suddenly came. They went directly to Duo Cai's house and asked Duo Cai's younger brother, Duo Sheng, to hand over something. Later, Duo Sheng took out a jade box. After the immortal grabbed the jade box, there were two blade lights, killing Duo Sheng and Duo Cai..."
Yu Sheng looked at Lian Yingxian in confusion. Lian Yingxian was speaking so carefully, obviously she was at the scene. Since she was at the scene, how could she not have been killed by the immortals?
Lian Yingxian's voice trembled slightly, "That person killed the Duo Cai siblings and wanted to kill me too. I didn't expect the immortal behind him to suddenly attack him..."
Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. The world of cultivation was so cruel. It seemed that the thing Duo Sheng took out was not simple, causing infighting.
"...Who would have thought that the immortal who was ambushed still had the ability to resist. The two fought, and I was so scared that I quickly took the opportunity to escape, and ran all the way back. The blood on my body was because I was too close to the Duo Sheng and Duo Cai siblings and was splattered with it."
Lian Yingxian finished speaking in one breath, her face a little pale, as if she was still thinking about the scene at the time.
Yu Sheng asked in confusion, "Xian'er, they didn't chase after you?"
Lian Yingxian shook her head, "I don't know. I came here originally to tell Grandpa and Jingfeng, and then go to the Extreme Ze Sea to hide."
Yu Sheng shook his head, "The journey from here to Qingze Village is only a blink of an eye for immortals. The fact that they didn't chase after you means that they have already left. Or..."
Yu Sheng originally wanted to say that they had died together, but when he thought of Mo Wuji being here, he swallowed the words back.
Mo Wuji suddenly asked, "How did Duo Sheng get injured?"
Lian Yingxian relaxed a lot. Hearing Mo Wuji's question, she quickly replied, "Five years ago, Duo Sheng said he wanted to go out and see if he could find immortal fate to cultivate, and then he never came back. It wasn't until a year ago that Duo Sheng returned seriously injured."
Seeing Yu Sheng looking a little flustered, Mo Wuji smiled and comforted him, "The distance of a hundred miles is indeed only an instant for immortals. Now that they haven't chased after us, it is very likely that they really died together. Another possibility is that the cultivator who obtained the treasure didn't care about anything else and had already accelerated his escape. It's a pity that I haven't been in contact with cultivation for a long time and my strength is low. Until now, my injuries have not recovered. Otherwise, I could go and take a look."
Yu Sheng quickly said, "Da Huang, you must not go there. Let's just leave it at that. If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, we can't avoid it. Xian'er, you will live here from now on. Go to the room and change your clothes now, and we'll talk about it after the situation calms down."
"Okay." Lian Yingxian bowed to Mo Wuji and Yu Sheng again before hurrying to the innermost room with her head lowered.
Mo Wuji also stood up in time. He turned his back to Yu Sheng and his grandson and condensed his Spiritual Eye. A few spiritual rhythm auras flashed and disappeared under Mo Wuji's Spiritual Eye. Mo Wuji sighed. He was right, Lian Yingxian's answer seemed impeccable, but in his eyes, Lian Yingxian's gestures and tone were too flawed.
He suspected that Lian Yingxian was a cultivator, so he didn't use his spiritual will. After being besieged by the Grand Immortal Emperors, Mo Wuji acted much more cautiously. Now, with a look from his Spiritual Eye, Lian Yingxian was indeed a cultivator. Not only was she a cultivator, but her cultivation was even higher than his, at least in the late stages of the Grand Luo Immortal realm.
If it wasn't for owing the Yu family grandfather and grandson a favor, Mo Wuji really wanted to leave immediately.
