Fast Travel: Debt Repayment Strategy

Chapter 54 Everyone Wants to Kill Me 3
Not long after coming here, Su Mu already found out the situation clearly. This city is called Lin'an City, which belonged to the Han Dynasty. It is hard to imagine that this is just a remote city under its jurisdiction. From this, we can guess that How prosperous is the tip of the iceberg in the main city.

She helps a restaurant every day. Although she has no wages and does not cover her expenses, she still has meals and occasionally tips from guests. These days her life is pretty good, and she even saved half a string of copper coins.

The money needed for accommodation is an astronomical amount, and Su Mu can only settle in a remote and simple ruined temple outside the city for half a month.

The original owner has not eaten or hugged for many years, her body is very thin, and her complexion is a little yellow, so she has always shown people in men's clothing, and deliberately adjusted her voice, so no one would recognize her as a girl, which saved a lot of trouble.

In the past few days, she had repeatedly inquired about Yi Qinghan's news in Lin'an City, but to no avail, so she could only return in despair.

Today, as usual, the morning helper for the restaurant was over. She stuffed the steamed stuffed bun wrapped in oil paper into her collar, and planned to take it back to the ruined temple to eat.

Wealth is not revealed in vain, and the same is true for food.

In the past half a month, Su Mu has met some people who wanted to rob her of food. If it wasn't for exchanging injuries for injuries and her desperate fighting style, which frightened some people, it is not certain what her situation is now.

So living in ancient times was not easy!
Suddenly, several women whispered in their ears.

"Have you heard that some immortals are recruiting talented disciples?"

"It's been selected for a few days, and you don't know? Let's not talk about it, I have to watch the excitement quickly."

"Hey, don't go, but where are you talking about?"

"It's right at the gate of the city. I won't tell you any more. If I get there late, the immortal may leave!"

Su Mu's movements stopped, and his body froze in place.

Immortal?No, don't mess with me!

Could it be that this time it is not the ancient plane, but the immortal plane.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the weak eat the strong, and mortals who have not cultivated are nothing more than ants.

What should we do now?Isn't this killing her?
Su Mu sighed a few times, quickened his pace, and arrived at the gate of the city not long after.

The noon sun reflected the solemn and cold faces of the officers and soldiers, and the surrounding area was sealed off, isolating the dark crowd to several miles away.

There are endless voices of discussion.

There is a high platform several meters in the center, and a man in white clothes with a long sword on his back is vaguely seen standing here. He seems to feel that it is too noisy. He is frowning and his expression is a little impatient, and his stern voice spreads for a hundred miles. : "Noisy."

The restless crowd suddenly quieted down, their expressions were terrified, as if they were worried about offending the immortals, and they dared not whisper to each other again.

A wooden table was placed in front of the immortal, with a round transparent crystal ball placed in the center.

Thousands of children stood under the high platform, ranging in age from three years old to more than a dozen, with different expressions, either confused, excited, fearful, or at a loss.

It rained heavily outside the city a few days ago, and the ruined temple leaked light rain. Su Mu wanted to take a few days off from the restaurant because of a fever to recuperate. Today is the first day of returning to work after recovering from illness. Unexpectedly, he met someone from the Lingyun Sect recruiting children. .

In fact, it happened to be the day after she fell ill that the so-called cultivators arrived in Lin'an City.

All men and women from ages [-] to [-] in the city must register to participate in the election. They are divided into three batches, and today is the last batch left.

Standing in the center of the crowd, Su Mu was a little bit lost. Who wouldn't want to practice Taoism and become a fairy?
As for the son of good luck, the chance to cultivate immortality was just missed.

She took out the still-warm meat buns from her arms and ate them while paying attention to the selection.

The crystal ball-like object seemed to detect the existence of spiritual roots, and most children did not respond when they put their hands on it.

The very small number of children who can trigger the reaction mostly have some four-spiritual roots and five-spiritual roots, and their talents are extremely poor.

The selection lasted until the evening.

The remaining orange sun outlines the outline of the cloud. I don’t know who has cut corners on the edge of the gold line. The thin gold is gradually blurred, light or heavy, with distinct layers, forming a resplendent painting.

Su Mu felt that there was nothing to see, so he got up and was about to leave.

At this time, the man in white on the high platform suddenly spoke, and what he said made her heart tremble.

"Did a girl named Yi Qinghan miss the selection?"

These words were like water splashing into a frying pan, causing a burst of whispering.

Su Mu murmured the name silently, her body froze, and her expression was slightly astonished. Fortunately, she was hidden in the crowd and no one noticed anything abnormal.

After so long, there is finally some news about Yi Qinghan.

The man in white seems to know the mission target, and he doesn’t know whether he is an enemy or...

He stayed in Lin'an City for half a month but couldn't find anyone, his words seemed to confirm that Yi Qinghan was here.

Su Mu felt that something was wrong, and he had a vague premonition in his heart, so he didn't dare to stay here for a long time, and left in a hurry.

Not long after she left, a white stream of light suddenly flashed in the sky, and a woman in red landed on the high platform with her sword.

"Brother Lin, what's the matter?"

"Junior Sister, all the children in Lin'an City have been checked, and it seems that there is no such Yi Qinghan as you mentioned."

"You should really be dead..."

Xia Yao murmured to herself, a flash of resentment flashed in her eyes, but she breathed a sigh of relief, and then she showed a sweet smile to the man: "Brother, let's go back to the sect."

……

Silent night.

The evening wind brought silence and desolation into the dilapidated temple.

The burning flame swayed slightly, flickering brightly and dimly, as if it would go out at any moment.

Su Mu rubbed his arms and took a deep breath.

It is said that Lingyun Sect is quite powerful, and it would be difficult to deal with them if they were Yi Qinghan's enemies.

It stands to reason that the target of the task is not very old, judging from the words of the man in white at least she has not started to practice, so is the ability of a mortal to do things so powerful?

Sure enough, seeking death has no distinction between age and world.

Yi Qinghan couldn't find anyone because he made too much trouble and was secretly killed.

In the world of immortality, the weak eat the strong, and weakness is the original sin.

No, this world is too dangerous.

She had to find a way to find a reliable sect to join and embark on the path of cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise she would not be able to complete the mission at all.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in and extinguished the flames directly.

The surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness, and there was a faint smell of blood, and there was a heavy breathing sound in the room.

The fear of the unknown made Su Mu dare not move at will. The heart in his chest was beating so loud that it almost echoed in the entire space.

"Brother, please don't do anything. If you have something to say, I will give you only half a bunch of copper coins."

She waited for a while and received no response. She swallowed nervously and said tentatively:
"Then I... I'll light up the fire first. After all, it's quite cold at night. If you don't speak, it's your acquiescence!"
