Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

Nongyu Pavilion.

backyard.

Snapped!

A crisp slap sounded, followed by an angry curse.

"I asked you to take good care of these two little guys. Is this what you did?"

A boy knelt down in front of the white-haired old woman, frightened and trembling uncontrollably.

Lying on the ground was a little boy about seven or eight years old, with a shriveled body and skin that was no different from tree bark, like a mummy.

There was also a civilian girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, with two lines of tears on her face, a dull expression, and a touch of sadness, a touch of confusion, and a touch of carefully concealed shock in her eyes.

"What happened? How did Qi Wazi suddenly become like this?"

The white-haired old woman asked coldly.

These two little guys were the best goods she had finally found. Both of them had spiritual bodies and could be sold for at least hundreds of mid-grade spiritual stones.

Now that one of them is dead, how can she not be furious?

"Shortly after nightfall, I heard Yue Yatou yelling and rushed into the wing immediately. When I saw Qi Wazi, he was already like this. I didn't know what happened. Maybe this little girl knew what happened. thing?"

The boy explained in a panic.

"Girl Yue, tell me why Qi Wazi became like this?"

The white-haired old woman looked at the girl in gray and asked in a deep voice.

"I...I...I don't know."

The girl in gray looked bewildered, as if she was frightened by what was happening in front of her.

"have no idea?"

The white-haired old woman frowned deeply, not because she suspected that the girl in gray had deceived her.

How could a little girl from the ordinary world have the courage to deceive her?

However, she didn't notice that the girl in gray lowered her head and stared blankly at the amber pendant hanging around her neck.

There are two crystals in the amber pendant, like twin moons. A small hole is broken in the bottom of one of them, while the other is intact, as if a Gu worm is frozen in it.

What happened in the past week made Gongsun Yue feel dizzy.

She was originally a daughter of an aristocratic family, the apple of her family's eye, and was much loved. A few days ago, she had a sudden idea and sneaked out of the mansion with her maid, hoping to travel around the world.

As a result, I met a strange old man.

The strange old man was holding a luminous compass. He was very excited when he saw her and walked towards her with a big smile.

The next moment, Gongsun Yue lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was already in Nongyu Pavilion, locked up with Qi Wazi. She could not leave the yard and could only occasionally see the boy and the white-haired old woman.

The two of them were in panic all day long, not knowing what fate was waiting for them.

A few hours ago, when the two of them were preparing to take a rest, Gongsun Yue noticed that the pendant he was wearing suddenly became hot.

This pendant was passed down from her ancestors. Although it was not a cherished item, it had special meaning to the Gongsun family.

It is said that her great-great-grandfather started to make a fortune after getting this pendant, and became the prime minister of Xuanluo Kingdom, which laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Gongsun family for hundreds of years.

Therefore, this pendant, which does not seem to be very precious, can become the inheritance of the Gongsun family.

Gongsun Yue took out the pendant and saw that a crystal in the family pendant was broken, and an insect the size of a thumb with three pairs of wings emerged from it.

As soon as the insect appeared, it hovered next to Gongsun Yue, causing her body to tense up instantly, as if she was being stared at by a wild beast, and she did not dare to move at all.

Fortunately, Qi Wazi made a noise and attracted the insect's attention.

The insect let out a vague hiss and pounced on Qi Wazi in an instant.

then.

Qi Wazi's whole body shriveled up and there was no more sound.

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Yue was instantly frightened and screamed involuntarily. Fortunately, the insect seemed to be full, flapped its wings and disappeared.

The young man rushed in after hearing Gongsun Yue's shout, and then alerted the white-haired old woman.

‘Could it be that a monk sneaked into the backyard of Nongyu Pavilion? ’

The white-haired old woman didn't know this and could only make random guesses.

Judging from the injuries on Qi Wazi's body, it was probably at the hands of a monk.

But this is the backyard of Nongyu Pavilion. Not to mention the few late-stage Qi-training monks who are stationed here, the top-level first-level formations outside Nongyu Pavilion alone are enough to stop most of the Qi-training monks.

If you want to sneak into the backyard of Nongyu Pavilion quietly without alerting others, you need to have at least the twelfth level of Qi training.

But why would a monk at the twelfth level of qi training go to such trouble to attack a little boy?

This is true even if Qi Wazi has a spiritual body.

If a certain force was targeting Nongyu Pavilion, why did they let Gongsun Yue, who was in the same room, be spared?

"What is the reason?"

The white-haired old woman thought hard for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, so she had no choice but to give up.

Then he told the servant: "Take care of Qi Wazi's body and take good care of Yue Yatou. If there is another problem, I will take care of you."

"yes."

The boy quickly bowed in response.

When the white-haired old woman left, the boy's face suddenly darkened. He glanced at Yue Yatou with disgust and said angrily: "Stay in the room while I go to deal with Qi Wazi's body."

After saying that, he called some maids and asked them to take care of Gongsun Yue, while he left with Qi Wazi's body.

…

"What the hell is that bug?"

"Is there another bug in the pendant?"

"What should I do if another bug appears? Should I throw away the pendant?"

Gongsun Yue listened to the maids' consolation, but she couldn't help thinking wildly in her heart.

She was unwilling to throw away the pendant.

This pendant was not only her ancestral pendant, but also her trump card, especially now that she was imprisoned.

Born in an official family, influenced by many elders, she was not a white lotus.

She saw the power of the insect, and if it was used properly, it might help her escape.

"What's going on?"

At this time, Gongsun Yue was surprised to find that the room became unusually quiet.

Looking up, several maids disappeared without a trace, and she was the only one left in the room.

"The means of the cultivator?"

Gongsun Yue suddenly became nervous, and her right hand couldn't help but tightly grasp the pendant on her neck.

After coming to Nongyu Pavilion for a few days, through the words she talked with Qi Wazi and the servant, she learned that she seemed to have come to the world of immortal cultivation that her father had been thinking about.

Xuanluo Country is located in Xiaoyao Domain, with abundant spiritual energy, and the connection between the mortal world and the immortal world is relatively close.

Most of the noble families and people in high positions in the mortal world know the existence of the immortal world. Gongsun Yue has heard her elders talk about it several times, and even met several cultivators.

She is not unfamiliar with the methods of cultivators.

"Little girl, don't be on guard. I have no ill will towards you."

A light laugh suddenly sounded, echoing in the room, making it impossible to tell where the sound came from.

"I wonder what this cultivator's name is?"

Gongsun Yue took a deep breath and regained her composure.

"You can call me Taoist Xiaoyao."

The voice laughed.

"So it's Senior Xiaoyao, I wonder why you are looking for me?"

Gongsun Yue asked again.

"I came here for the pendant on you."

The voice got straight to the point.
