Chen Mu read the three books from the beginning again without giving up.
The result still had nothing to do with the secret method he wanted.
In the end, Chen Mu spent thirty taels and left with the "Golden Wind and Jade Dew Magical Method".
It’s not that he is beautiful and loves to dress up, but that he values his skills in adjusting muscles and lifting skin.
Use them to improve sagging skin. Chen Mu feels that this kind of fine-tuning of the body is very suitable for the disguise technique.
He would apply it every time he went out to change his skin tone.
If you can figure out the art of disguise, it will be much easier to disguise yourself when going out.
Carrying two secret books, Chen Mu had no intention of continuing to stroll and left.
After leaving Baihutang to investigate Qingfengsan, Chen Mu knew that the ghost market was not safe either.
The Jinghong Gang traced Jie Jia from the ship in the ghost market, which led to a series of events.
"It's better to stay at home and be safe."
…
After leaving the cabin, it was still dark and silent outside the ship.
Several masked leaders in black led Chen Mu towards the stern of the ship. There were more than a dozen awning boats tied there to welcome people.
As soon as we reached the middle of the ship, a burst of chirping was carried by the river wind.
Chen Mu and the leader turned around to look at each other.
A fifty-meter-long red boat broke through the fog. The eaves of the Red Boat Pavilion are covered with lanterns, and the carved beams and painted buildings are so beautiful.
It was like daylight on the big red boat, and the whole river surface was illuminated brightly.
Pipa, guzheng, dongxiao, the sound of musical instruments mixed with the melodious singing came.
"It's so beautiful." The masked man leading the way looked at the graceful figure ten meters away in the gauze curtain with fascination.
"It's quite beautiful." Chen Mu also looked at it with relish.
"That's mine!" The masked man leading the way said with fervor.
"The money you give me is yours." Chen Mu teased with a smile.
Then he watched helplessly as the other party jumped into the water with a splash, like a white stripe in the waves, rushing towards the red boat with a string of water splashes.
So unrestrained?
Chen Mu was stunned.
Thump thump thump…
The next moment, all the masked guides on the big boat in the ghost market jumped into the water one by one like dumplings, and eagerly climbed onto the red boat opposite.
The two ships passed each other for only a minute or two.
But in just a minute or two, Chen Mu was the only one left on the entire dark ship!
Chen Mu's pupils suddenly shrank.
Suddenly he looked towards the red ship which was gradually going away.
I saw young women wearing tulle standing beside the windows of several rooms at the stern of the ship.
They all stared at Chen Mu with expressionless faces and said nothing.
An urge to jump off the ship suddenly came over me.
Chen Mu: "..."
grass!
Two ghost paper figures popped out of the sleeves in a swish.
One left and one right close to the forehead.
The cold touch suddenly woke him up.
Looking closely, the big red boat has penetrated into the mist on the river, with only a few lights looming.
"so close!"
I almost got caught!
Everyone goes out to see happy events, so why the hell am I going out to see ghosts? !
What the hell!
"Can't stay any longer, leave quickly."
Chen Mu ran to the stern of the boat and suddenly froze on the spot.
More than a dozen awning boats were dragged to the stern with ropes, but there was not a single boatman on board.
Not only the black-clad passers-by jumped into the water, but the boatman was not spared either.
Chen Mu looked helpless as he looked at the empty awning boat.
He can't row a boat.
…
Shanglinfang, Chenzhai.
Chen Mu sat on the second floor, drank a cup of warm milk tea, felt his pounding heart, and still couldn't help feeling afraid.
Since encountering the long-haired woman, I have learned that the five ghost bags are hidden and can restrain the ghosts. And because he is ready to launch the magical smoke at any time.
Whenever Chen Mu goes out, he must open the Five Ghost Bag. Don’t be afraid even if you spend energy on it.
"What a blessing!"
Chen Mu called out two small paper figures and looked at the lifelike ghost paper figures covered with red lines.
It used to feel weird, but now it looks so cute.
"It helped a lot."
Without them, he might have jumped into the water as soon as he saw the red boat.
"Didn't you say evil spirits can't enter Nanyang City?"
Chen Mu thought of the gossip he heard from Xinyuan Teahouse.
That red boat is probably the man-eating ghost ship.
He heard it more than once. But most of them hang out in Jinshui River outside the city and have never entered Luohe River.
"Is there something wrong with Nanyang Mansion's magic weapon to ward off evil?"
So unlucky?
I don’t have the aura of the protagonist, so I can’t live without peace wherever I go!
Chen Mu muttered full of resentment.
"You can't leave this door casually."
"Tomorrow we will dig a hole and collect supplies. We will stay with him for a year and a half first!"
…
Early the next morning, Chen Mu ran to Bei City to start a large purchase.
White wheat, air-dried ham, various vegetables, seasonings.
When I got home, I didn't care about my liver proficiency anymore. I found a corner in the kitchen on the east side of the first floor and started digging underground.
After digging a few shovels, I suddenly remembered the Five Ghost Bags.
What would happen if five ghost bags were used to move underground soil?
Chen Mu recited a spell, looked at the size of the feeding shaft in the bag, and looked at the soil under his feet. Black smoke filled the air... Move!
Then the soil underfoot disappeared layer by layer and began to sink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon a circular shaft with a diameter of one meter and a depth of five meters appeared underground.
If the black smoke hadn't penetrated the soil to a limited depth each time, he could dig faster!
"Hey! This is really a must-have artifact for home travel!"
With Wu Guibao's help, he dug out a huge space seven or eight meters underground in just one morning.
The most time-consuming part is handling the soil.
The pile took up too much space at home, so he had no choice but to throw it into Luohe River.
Every time I look around as if to guard against thieves, I make sure there are no boats on the river and no one is around, and then I secretly put the soil into the river.
Skillfully sprinkle medicated lime on the hole to prevent moisture and insects. Chen Mu came out to have lunch.
Not long after the afternoon, all the supplies he ordered were delivered one by one.
They paid to send the delivery workers away and were busy moving supplies underground.
Fortunately, I had five ghost bags, and I was finally done before dinner.
…
In the evening, Jie Jia came over on time to have dinner.
His nose twitched twice, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Chen Mu: "Are you a mouse?"
Chen Mu: "..." What does it mean?
"Do you like digging holes that much?"
Smell something earthy? I've deliberately used medicinal powder to cover it up? Dog nose!
Chen Mu rolled his eyes.
You think I like it.
It's not because it's too dangerous outside.
Ignoring Jie Jia's teasing, Chen Mu quickly asked: "Is there anything wrong with Nanyang Mansion's evil-proof magic weapon?"
Jiejia frowned slightly: "Did you encounter a ghost monster?"
Chen Mu truthfully told Jiejia what happened last night.
Jiejia's bright yellow eyes rolled and he kept looking up and down at Chen Mu: "How come you're not dead?"
Chen Mu even laughed angrily: "Believe it or not, I won't wash my hands when I cook in the future!"
Jie Jia looked at the table of delicious food, his eyebrows trembling.
"I'll wash it this time." Chen Mu raised the corners of his mouth.
"It's normal." Jie Jia sat down at the stone table and said calmly with an expressionless face.
"The ghost ship has already entered Nanyang Mansion, is it still normal?" Chen Mu stared in disbelief.
"Don't you know what's going on with Daliang now?" Jie Jia sat down and took out his white handkerchief and wiped the tableware and chopsticks meticulously.
"The war is in turmoil, and the dynasty is in its final years." Chen Mu's face didn't look good.
Although Nanyang Mansion is peaceful, this is because Nanyang is located in the southwest, far away from the hinterland of Daliang.
According to the information collected by Xinyuan Teahouse, uprisings continued in the hinterland of Daliang, and someone claimed the title of king every day.
Fields were destroyed, food was in short supply, people died of starvation, and even cannibalism occurred.
"It is true that there will be war and chaos, but it may not be the end of the dynasty." Jie Jia threw the used handkerchief into the trash can at his feet.
"The more dead people there are, the more powerful the ghost monsters will be. It's normal for the more powerful ghost monsters to break through the evil-proofing magic weapon."
"In some places, even the whole city is occupied by ghost monsters and becomes a ghostland. That is scary." Jie Jia Feng Qingyun said calmly.
Chen Mu felt his scalp numb after hearing this.
This world is so dangerous.
…
After dinner, after seeing off Jie Jia, Chen Mu took out the bright red Five Ghost bag and put it on the desk and stared at it.
Before, he wanted to practice all three training techniques to the limit in one go.
Now it seems that this matter needs to be put aside for a while.
"Since the Five Ghost Bag can restrain the ghosts, let's get the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Curse out first!"
"Two ghost paper figures can keep him fresh. With five ghost paper figures, is it possible that he can fight back?"
"Forget it, don't ask too much, as long as you can save my life, everything will be fine."
"Five Ghost Bags, you need to give me some strength."
