After saying goodbye to his neighbor Lu Zhengzhong, Chen Ping made some preparations and went out.
Over the next few days, Chen Ping once again became familiar with the layout of the entire Yunzhong City, including the middle city and the outer city.
We learned about the gathering of people in various areas, the environment of deserted areas, the layout of streams in the city, the density of houses, and where there are abandoned houses...
He even went to a restaurant to listen to music twice and made some insinuations about the situation in Yunzhong City.
Chen Ping's house is located to the east of Zhongcheng. He calculated the distance and finally chose to rent a low-end small house in Zhongcheng (Sanxiu City) four miles away from the house.
He also rented a small courtyard to the east of the outer city (Mortal City) twelve or thirteen miles away, and also rented a room to the west of the outer city. This one is relatively far away, more than twenty miles away. .
The rent for houses in outer cities is relatively cheap and only costs gold.
He planned these three houses to serve as tunnel exits.
Yunzhong City is no better than Lianyung City after the civil strife. Yunzhong City has relatively good order. The exit is chosen in a deserted area. Frequent entry and exit risks being discovered. Using the utility room of a house as an exit is relatively hidden.
Return to the house.
Chen Ping and Yu Lingchun discussed the plan and started digging the basement in the utility room. This time they gained experience and surveyed the ground briefly before starting construction immediately.
'The art of regret has been cultivated to great perfection.
One palm stroke can loosen the soil to a depth of nearly five meters. When encountering a big commotion, use a silent note as a luxury.
When you dig deep enough, in addition to soil, a large area of hard rocks will appear. At this time, you need to use magic tools to assist.
The 40-pound magic weapon with a handle that I bought from Lin Changshou was very handy.
'You can keep this magic weapon for your own use. It's quite valuable to dig tunnels. ,
Transporting soil is also very convenient.
Just throw it into the storage bag, and even the weight will disappear after throwing it into the storage bag. You can transport nearly two thousand kilograms at a time.
Excess soil can be transported to barren areas.
Transferring the loosened soil to the storage bag is also simple. I bought a large metal shovel, and used the power of gold magnets to control the metal shovel to shovel the loose soil, and then pull the metal shovel into the storage bag.
The entire process is semi-automated.
When Chen Ping was digging, Yu Lingchun did some auxiliary things.
Of course, it is not all-out digging, and the Evergreen Technique and Talisman Making are not left behind.
After digging intermittently for more than twenty days, a spacious basement was dug.
Considering that there are great foundation-building monks in this city, the basement was dug twenty meters below to be on the safe side. We could have dug deeper, but the deeper it was, the harder it was to ventilate it, so we stopped there.
Because it is too deep, there is no longer a staircase at the entrance, but a rope going straight up and down.
After digging, Chen Ping used the 'Dragon Water Gathering' magic to remove the moisture from the basement and keep it dry.
In fact, the humidity itself is not very high. At least half of the walls of the basement are made of natural stones.
Then I went to buy some furniture, arranged the bed, cabinets, desks, chairs..., put in the dried meat of monsters, and turned the basement into a temporary residence that was small but fully equipped.
In the event of danger, it wouldn't be a problem for the two of them to stay down there for a month.
In the next few days, just dig the tunnel slowly.
Looking at the basement in front of him, Chen Ping exhaled with satisfaction.
'Regardless of whether there is danger or not, there is one more safety guarantee. ,
'Hopefully I'll never need it. ,
"Husband, are you staying in the basement tonight?" Yu Lingchun pursed her red lips.
Since wearing the high-quality hairpin, Yu Lingchun's face has become more moisturized, and her youthful atmosphere has a mature charm at the same time.
Chen Ping never gets tired of watching it.
"Yes, we will live in the basement at night." Chen Ping smiled.
Fresh environment always stimulates people
of hormones.
It was the first time they lived in such a deep basement. The two of them inevitably became more interested and had an in-depth exchange.
...
A few days later.
It had been a month since he arrived in Yunzhong City, and Chen Ping decided to look for Guo Zizhao.
Lin Changshou came to visit a few days ago. During the conversation between the two, Chen Ping casually revealed Guo Zizhao's address.
Guo Zizhao lives in a third-grade house in the southwest of Zhongcheng.
Entering the street here, the houses on both sides are relatively short. Many of the houses don't even have yards. There is only a small lonely house on the road.
It is obviously not as grand and spacious as the street where Chen Ping's own house is located.
In the same city, there is also a gap between rich and poor.
…
Inside Guo Zizhao's house.
Lin Changshou came to visit today, and the two of them were discussing livelihood issues in the house. There was no skill in Yunzhong City, and it was not easy to make money. If it doesn't work, I can only pick up my old job and go out of the city to hunt animals.
Hunting beasts are always in need of people.
Right now.
The two of them suddenly heard a soft noise and immediately realized that someone had entered the house. They were shocked and quickly moved to one side to hide themselves.
When they saw a strange scholar under the window, the two of them winked and suddenly attacked the scholar from both sides.
"锵～"
"How brave. You dare to break into a house in broad daylight. You should die!"
With one blow, the two discovered that the frail scholar did not seem to be weak at all. He easily dodged the two men's attack. His moving figure was so ghostly that they could not capture the opponent's exact position at all.
Before they could react, they saw the frail scholar firing several rounds of the small spiritual sword very freely.
Those few shots of the spiritual sword seemed random.
It doesn't seem to have much power.
But Guo Zizhao and the others only hesitated for a blink of an eye, and found that those few seemingly slow shots of the spiritual sword had blocked all their escape routes.
Suddenly I broke into a cold sweat.
Both of them were at the fifth level of Qi training, and they struck preemptively and attacked together. Unexpectedly, they fell into a disadvantage in just one breath and became lambs to be slaughtered.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
Several loud noises.
Only then did Guo Zizhao realize that those few rounds of spiritual swords only blocked their escape route and did not go straight to their vital points. Obviously, the other party showed mercy.
at the same time.
After coming back to his senses, Guo Zizhao also noticed the familiarity of the spiritual sword.
Guo Zizhao wiped his forehead and said uncertainly:
"Big...brother?"
Chen Ping, who looked like a scholar, smiled:
"it's me."
After saying that, he rubbed his body for a while in public, returning to the appearance of Chen Changsheng from the north of the city, and then returned to the appearance of a frail scholar.
The two of them were stunned.
"You are too slow to react and not alert enough. I have been observing you from the window for a while. If I hadn't made the noise, you might not have noticed me until now. Your actions were too slow." Chen Ping commented.
"Big brother taught me a lesson." Guo Zizhao sneered, thinking that it was because we were too slow to react.
at this time.
Lin Changshou bowed respectfully and said:
"I have met Senior Chen. I am Lin Changshou. I have always wanted to work with you and fellow Daoist Guo."
Chen Ping nodded:
"Yeah. Be smart about everything you do."
"By the way, Chen Changsheng's identity is too sensitive, so I won't use it anymore. I will use this identity to communicate with you from now on."
Guo Zizhao and the two agreed, and at the same time looked at the eldest brother's scholarly appearance in order to remember the details. The contrast is really huge. He was so fierce before, but now he looks weak and harmless to humans and animals.
Chen Ping ignored their looks:
"There is a job, do you want to do it or not?
? "
"Brother, that's what you said." Guo Zizhao said: "You wait for me to do errands, and you are giving us food to eat. How can we refuse? We don't get what we ask for. Brother, tell me."
Lin Changshou also nodded in agreement.
