Chen Mu felt that the braised pork elbow was not...well, the pork elbow was still very fragrant.
But it hurts really.
Just thinking about treating someone to a bottle of wine.
People have a great time drinking.
I actually forgot about the return gift.
I haven’t given gifts for a long time, and my business has become rusty.
Chen Mu looked at Jie Jia's money bag with envy.
"Take a second look. If you don't look, you won't be able to see it anymore." Old God Jiejia took a sip of the fish soup.
Chen Mu's chest suddenly felt tight.
…
Four days later, in Lanjia Lane, Dongshi, there was a three-entry house.
Thirty or forty gang members fell on the ground and slept soundly.
In the inner courtyard room.
Zhang Ye was half kneeling on the ground, leaning on the handle of the knife.
He shook his head hard and tried to open his eyelids.
As a result, his head was thrown so hard that he fell to the ground with a thud. His nose was bleeding from the fall.
He fluttered on the spot twice and soon fell asleep.
Chen Mu walked out of the alley behind the house and came to the front door.
"I can find you even if I move!"
He wore a bamboo hat and gray clothes, with half of his face painted cyan. Dressed like a Liangshan hero.
He stood at the door of the room and looked in, then reached out and closed the door: "It's better not to go in, in case it's just an act."
He quickly came to the yard and looked at the Bailang gang members lying on the ground with a smile.
Since you are playing the role of a Liangshan hero, you have to do something that a Liangshan hero should do.
Then he searched for them one by one.
Two quarters of an hour later, Chen Mu weighed the bag in his hand in disappointment.
"Come early."
After rummaging around, he found more than twenty taels of silver.
It must be because Jie Jia is so cruel that these guys don't dare to carry money with them these days.
Glancing at the closed door, those people inside must be very rich, right?
Then he shook his head again.
"Forget it, it's better to be on the safe side."
"After all, he is the leader of the gang. What if he has some trump card?"
"I'd better sell my fish quickly."
With this in mind, Chen Mu carefully walked around to the back wall, climbed over the wall and quickly left Lanjia Alley.
…
There is a second-level pharmaceutical technique, and the incense is very powerful.
No matter how the Bailang Gang thrashes around, they are sure to be knocked down with one gourd.
In the next few times, Bailang Gang Zhang Ye thought of many ways.
I have tried many detoxifying products.
It's a pity that Chen Mu is not idle either, and has been using pharmaceutical techniques to improve the incense.
The Bailang Gang could only sleep soundly.
Later, there was no other way, and the Bailang Gang had to spread out its base.
Chen Mu didn't even think about knocking them all down.
One day when he went out to sell fish, he would randomly find a Bailang Gang stronghold and invite all the gang members in the stronghold to have a drink.
The people in the Bailang Gang who were messed up by him were in a state of panic and had no energy to trouble him, a fisherman.
It was a pity that Chen Mu received fewer and fewer gifts in return.
…
In addition to going out every few days to sell fish and compete with the Bailang Gang.
Chen Mu stayed at home quietly the rest of the time.
Practice kestrel training diligently every day.
After completing Yi Gu, the breathing method of the training technique is more complicated, requiring one hundred and twenty breaths per cycle.
The footwork formula has nearly doubled.
This causes him to practice with all his strength every time, which requires more time and energy.
The proficiency gained every day is much less than during the muscle-changing stage.
But the victory lies in making steady progress, and Chen Mu is not in a hurry. Still moving forward step by step every day.
Iron Lotus Throwing upgrades also become more difficult.
At the third level, if you want to throw more powerful Iron Lotus Seeds, you need not only skills, but also stronger physical fitness.
He could feel that every time he threw, he was subtly changing the muscles in his body.
In contrast, the proficiency of the Hidden Blade is very easy to master.
One is because it is still at the second level and has not yet reached the advanced stage.
Another reason is probably because Shuriken is more of a swordsmanship at the moment.
Although it can also slightly adjust the body muscles. But it is more of a sword-hiding and sword-using technique.
Chen Mu appropriately reduced the iron lotus seed throwing practice and focused his energy and time on the Hidden Sword.
…
Obsessed with practicing, Chen Mu could hardly feel the passage of time.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In August and September, it is the hot season in Qingshan County.
In the courtyard behind Tianyizhai.
A blue brick is placed on the stone table.
Chen Mu stood quietly beside him.
rub!
laugh!
A soft sound.
Suddenly there was a hole in the green brick.
Chen Mu reached out and touched it.
The edges of the hole are smooth and hot.
In just a moment, he drew his sword nine times.
Click on the same spot on the blue brick every time.
The sharp puncture collision not only penetrated the blue bricks, but also generated a large amount of heat.
"Do you want to join Zhu Yi Pavilion?" Jie Jia beside the stone table couldn't help but raise his eyelids slightly: "I can help you introduce him."
This hidden sword is perfect for assassination.
"I will get half of the reward for recommending me?" Chen Mu said lightly.
With a twist of his wrist, the dagger disappeared into his sleeve.
"Let's eat melon." Jie Jia picked up a piece of iced watermelon and ate it, never mentioning joining Zhu Yi Pavilion.
This melon was bought by Chen Mugang.
In order to have a bite of ice on a hot day, he devoted himself to making medicine for several days, and then he found a natural mineral similar to saltpeter in his previous life.
Use it to absorb heat when meeting water to make ice.
"Can you tell me who paid to kill me?" Chen Mu sat down and took a bite of a piece of cool watermelon.
"Okay." Jie Jia said calmly.
"Don't you killers keep secrets for your employer?" Chen Mu was surprised.
Jie Jia rolled his eyes and glanced at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu immediately nodded with understanding: "As long as the money is enough, right?"
"Want to know?" Jie Jia put down the watermelon and stared at Chen Mu and asked.
"I don't want to." Chen Mu said immediately, taking a bite of the iced watermelon with a look of enjoyment on his face.
Jie Jia: "..." I don't want to know you carry a hammer.
Chen Mu happily ate the melon.
They are all dead anyway, it makes no difference whether they know or not.
After eating the watermelon, cleaning the table and taking a short rest, Chen Mu hid under the shed and continued practicing the Hidden Sword.
The training technique has made him immune to cold and heat initially, and he can still endure this hot weather.
But moving around in the sun will not only cause heat outside the body, but also generate huge heat inside the body.
It's really painful for both sides to heat up together.
It's much more comfortable to practice Xiushuriken while hiding under the pergola.
When the sun sets in the evening, it's not too late to practice the liver form again.
"There seem to be more and more ghosts in the city lately." The dagger in Chen Mu's hand suddenly appeared and then disappeared: "Do you know the reason?"
"It shouldn't be." Jie Jiacuo paused with a look of confusion on his face: "With the evil-proof mirror, there shouldn't be so many fish slipping through the net."
But in fact, in the past few months, although the evil incidents have not been continuous, they have always occurred.
Chen Mu couldn't help but stop practicing his sword.
"Could there be something wrong with the evil mirror?" Chen Mu was worried.
"It's very similar." Jie Jia thought for a while and nodded. "More than ten years ago, I encountered it once in Jiuyang County, Yanshan Prefecture. The anti-evil mirror was stolen in the city, and as a result, the number of ghosts causing trouble suddenly increased."
"How did you solve it later?" Chen Mu asked quickly.
"It's very simple. The superior government sent another evil mirror." Jie Jia said calmly.
Chen Mu frowned.
Nowadays, natural and man-made disasters continue to occur throughout Daliang, and it has long been reduced to a mess.
The magistrate of Qingshan County disappeared for more than half a year and no one took care of him.
To say that Qingshan County belongs to Daliang is better to say that it belongs to the Li family, the county magistrate!
There is no higher-level government.
Glancing at the calm Jie Jia, Chen Mu became more and more certain that the old man must have some means to deal with the ghost.
Looking at the silver beads in the other person's hand, Chen Mu helplessly shook his head.
He can't afford this big bodyguard.
