Chapter 99 A visit from an old friend

"Are you two sure you are not joking with Xu?"

Xu Mu put his hands behind his back, looked at the two robbery cultivators in front of him, and smiled.

"Who the hell is kidding you? If you don't take it out, I'll do it myself!"

call out!

A willow-leaf flying knife flew out from one of the people's storage bags, emitting the light of the knife, and pointed directly at Xu Mu's face.

The other person held two second-level talismans in his hand and stared at Xu Mu with an unfriendly expression.

"What you said! I don't like to hear it!"

Xu Mu reached out and grabbed it, and the willow leaf flying knife fell into his palm. With a slight exertion of his fingers, the flying knife, which was as sharp as clay, turned into a pile of scrap metal.

"I, you..."

San Xiang, who was using the flying knife, wanted to yell, but the next moment, the spiritual pressure belonging to the foundation-building stage in Xu Mu's body was released, and the two of them knelt on the ground with a plop.

"Senior, we are just joking with you!" the two of them said with frightened expressions.

It’s true that if you don’t read the almanac when you go out, the old man will eat arsenic and get robbed during the foundation period.

"A joke? Unfortunately, I can't take a joke!"

Xu Mu's expression remained unchanged. With a flick of his finger, two golden thunderbolts appeared out of thin air and struck the two of them instantly.

The two of them didn't even have time to scream, their bodies trembled, their eyes were blurred, their breath was gone, and they fell to the ground.

"Remember, don't joke around in the next life!"

Xu Mu raised his hand and collected the two people's storage bags. With a flick of his finger, two black flames emerged, wrapping their bodies and turning them into ashes in one breath. Even their souls were not spared.

These two people are too weak and not worthy of being swallowed by Mo Crow.

"It seems that pretending to be a pig is too cruel, which is not a good thing!"

Xu Mu sighed and once again put away the aura of the foundation building stage, but this time, he kept it until the later stage of Qi training.

In the next short stretch of road, I encountered nothing unsightly.

Lead-colored dark clouds drifted across the sky, and a cool breeze blew on the ground. It looked like it was going to rain.

After passing through Baihe Forest, scattered monks began to appear on the road. Some were collecting resources nearby, while others entered the jungle to hunt monsters.

This made Xu Mu feel a lot more comfortable. The presence of so many cultivators showed that Baihefang City had not been completely destroyed, and perhaps there were still old friends there.

Soon, the shanty town where I once lived appeared before my eyes.

But compared to when we left, the shanty town at this time has been completely reduced to ruins, most of the houses have collapsed, and there are traces of monsters everywhere.

My spiritual thoughts swept over it, and I didn't feel the existence of any living person.

Stopping at the entrance of the alley where he once lived, the house that he burned down with his own hands was still in ruins. No one had cleaned it up and no one had to rebuild it.

Xu Mu smiled and shook his head, not sure if it was a sigh or a memory.

Continuing to walk forward, we soon arrived at the entrance of Fangshi. The number of monks on the road began to increase significantly, but it was still much worse than when we left. On the contrary, their cultivation levels were generally a little higher than before.

Xu Mu did not directly use his spiritual power to shoot. He learned from passers-by that a new foundation-building family had moved to Baihefang City, and he did not want to attract their attention.

Anyway, the remaining time is enough for him to easily visit the entire market, so he is not in a hurry.

He first went to the market, but didn't see any familiar figures, and then went to Muqiao Alley, where he once lived, but there were still all unfamiliar faces.

Finally came to Snow Lotus Pharmacy!

The drug store door is closed, but——

His spiritual thoughts swept over Xu Mu's face, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

"He's still alive and seems to be doing pretty well!"

Xu Mu raised his right hand, stepped forward and knocked hard on the damp wooden door.

Bang bang!

"We're closed today, fellow Taoist, please come back!"

A man's rich voice came from the drug store, and at the same time there was the faint sound of a child crying.

"Fellow Taoist Tu, there is something wrong with you turning away an old friend who has come from afar." Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Old friend?"

The people inside were stunned for a moment. They probably felt that the voice was familiar, but they couldn't remember it for a while.

After a while, the door was opened with a gap, barely enough for one person to pass through.

A middle-aged man with dark skin who looked to be in his thirties or forties stuck his head out and stared at Xu Mu looking up and down.

"Who are you……"

The middle-aged man blinked a few times and suddenly came to his senses, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Xu?! How are you still alive? No, how did you come back alive? No, why didn't you die outside..., bah! What kind of nonsense am I talking about!"

Xu Mu was also speechless.

This guy's bad mouth problem seems to have not changed at all.

The middle-aged man in front of me is none other than Tu, the shopkeeper of the drug store. His real name is Tu Shan. When they were in Baihefang City, they had been partners for many years.

"Come in! Come in!"

Tu Shan reached out and opened the door completely, and excitedly invited Xu Mu into the house.

"I asked, why did you suddenly show up? Did you come back on the Chen family's flying boat? But I haven't heard of any flying boat returning recently?"

When Xu Mu entered the house, Tu Shan closed the door again and kept mumbling.

"I flew back by myself!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"Fly back by yourself?"

Tu Shan stared at him, looked him up and down, and suddenly laughed and said: "You guy, you really haven't changed your bragging habit at all. Even a great monk in the Foundation Establishment stage doesn't dare to fly back from Liyang Sect alone.

You wouldn’t say that you are better than the foundation-building stage, right? Haha!”

"..."

Xu Mu was speechless.

How come I didn't know I had a bragging problem?

You are simply slandering!

Just as Xu Mu was about to speak out, two gentle-looking women walked out of the inner hall, each holding a baby.

"Husband, who is here and makes you so happy?"

One of the women with moon-like eyebrows said with a smile on her lips.

"It's a good friend of mine! I told you before!"

Tu Shan pointed at one of the women and introduced: "Fellow Daoist Xu, this is my wife Liu Feifei!"

Then he pointed to another one and said, "This is also my wife, her name is Qin Siyu!"

"..."

Why don't you just say that both are terrible?

Making a complaint in his mind, Xu Mu smiled and cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "I, Xu Mu, have met two fellow Taoists!"

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Xu!"

The two women were holding their children and couldn't get up, so they just nodded slightly.

The two women were very sensible. After saying hello, they returned to the inner hall.

"I said, Fellow Daoist Tu, didn't you say you couldn't get married before? Why are you not only getting married now, but two at once!" Xu Mu joked with a smile.

In the past, Tu Shan's greatest pleasure was to go to Goulan and listen to music. Getting a wife not only cost him spiritual stones, but also seriously affected his listening to music, so every time he talked about it, he always insisted not to marry.

"That's a long story!" Tu Shan said with a wry smile.

From Tu Shan's mouth, he learned that shortly after Xu Mu and the others left, people from the Soul Refining Sect massacred the entire city. However, he was lucky and escaped in Baihe Forest by hiding in advance.

Although they escaped, the city soon became a paradise for monsters after losing the protection during the foundation building period. In order to protect themselves, the remaining monks began to hug each other for warmth.

The two women were both opera singers, and Tu Shan happened to be their old customer and they were familiar with each other, so they hugged each other. As time went by, it was inevitable that someone would die.

"Fellow Taoist Tu, it looks like you are really blessed!" Xu Mu said with a smile.

"What a blessing! The two children are either pooping or peeing every day, and they are almost bored to death!" Tu Shan complained, but with a full smile on his face.

"By the way, where is your wife?"
