Fanlou, Nanyang Fubei City.
The lobby on the first floor of Chunfeng Building was noisy.
Every once in a while, a beautiful singer will appear on the middle stage to dance.
The lobby is divided by screens into dozens of semi-enclosed cubicles.
The screen is low, translucent, and strategically placed so that the stage performance can be seen clearly, but it can also barely block the scene in the cubicle.
There are low soft couches in the compartment, and a long table in the middle is filled with fruit drinks and delicacies.
Under the dim light, the orioles sing and dance, filling the hazy atmosphere.
In the cubicle on the left edge, four or five strong men were sitting together.
"What is going on in Qingshan County? Are all the people who come out such cowards?"
"Do you know how many houses we searched today?"
"Five seats!"
"It is said that cunning rabbits have three burrows. This man is simply the ancestor of rabbits! He looks just like that scholar!"
The leading strong man in black drank the crystal white wine in the wine glass in one gulp, with an angry look on his face.
"What should I do if I can't find it again?" A person next to me frowned.
"How the hell do I know that?" The leading strong man took another sip of wine.
Sun Fu's end was clearly visible in front of his eyes. If they still didn't gain much, they wouldn't get any good fruits either.
"A reprimand is unavoidable." The leading strong man sighed: "There shouldn't be any worries about his life."
Sun Fu was sent to Shen Jiang because he had offended Hall Master Zuo, and he had not offended anyone.
"However, it is very likely that he will be beaten and injured." The strong man frowned.
That's okay, since he was assigned to Sikou Yu by the main hall, so he just happened to pretend to be ill and return to the main hall. Sikou Yu is not generally difficult to serve.
"Don't worry about it. You guys have a good meal and drink. You have to continue working tomorrow!"
Everyone continued to exchange cups.
No one noticed that there was a small paper figure stuck behind the soft couch.
After listening to everyone bragging and spanking for a while, the little paper man fell to the ground and disappeared into a puff of black smoke.
…
Seven or eight meters away, in the corner near the door, was a private room dimly lit by candlelight.
Chen Mu turned into a man with a dark square face and an expressionless face, sitting alone in the private room, eating a table full of food in silence.
"Obviously it was made by the chef from Sihailou next door, why is it more than twice as expensive!" Chen Mu had no expression on his face, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.
He looked up at the beautiful singer on the stage who was wearing scantily clad clothes and posing.
"Forget it, isn't it a bit expensive? Eat food, eat food!"
He comes to Chunfeng Tower every three days, finds a corner, orders a table of food, and eats, then releases little paper figures to inquire about the Jinghong Gang.
Fortunately, the unknown young man was lustful and obsessed with Chunfeng Tower all day long. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know where to find out.
"Sun Fu's matter should be settled." Chen Mu was afraid that the Jinghong Gang would follow Sun Fu's path and find him.
"Why does the Taoist priest's appearance sound so familiar?" Chen Mu felt a little confused.
The accompaniment on stage suddenly became passionate.
Chen Mu quickly looked up.
The singers' dance became more and more graceful.
Chen Mu stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth and watched... he ate it with gusto.
"These people seem to believe that Sun Fu has been defeated by Chen Jiang." Chen Mu didn't know what twists and turns there were.
But he was full of gratitude: "Master Zuo, you really have to bear too much!"
Then he happily drank a mouthful of herbal tea to relieve fatigue.
"The Sun Fu incident has come to an end. There is no need to continue to be a member of the Jinghong Gang." Chen Mu thought to himself.
When he looked up, he happened to see the bright figures on the central stage. Chen Mu suddenly frowned and thought: "How about... let's do it a few more times."
"Well, it's just to reduce the risk."
Chen Mu silently convinced himself, then happily bowed his head and ate.
…
After eating and drinking, Chen Mu wandered away from Chunfeng Tower.
I strolled around the Beishi night market again, then silently turned into a dark alley.
Five notes spit out quickly.
There was a flash of black smoke, and the brown Jianghu outfit with tightened cuffs disappeared instantly.
In the blink of an eye, a scholar dressed in an off-white gown with a gray waist suddenly covered his whole body.
The muscles on his face squirmed, and the rough black square face turned into a thin black oval face.
When he walked out from the other end of the alley. The square-faced gangster disappeared and was replaced by a thin scholar with an oval face.
Chen Mu lowered his head imperceptibly to observe his own attire, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
This is his newly figured out use of the Five Ghost Bags. Cooperate with the shape-changing technique to change the face. You can change your appearance in just a few breaths to complete the disguise.
"When I figure out how to adjust my height and body shape later, I can use Ningxiang Pills to change my body odor, hehe..."
…
After walking around and returning home, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that he is timid, it's that the world is too dangerous and there are bad people everywhere.
There are two pests lying under the big willow tree outside the courtyard.
Habitually bring out gray walls.
Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Curse: 3877/10000/Level 5;
Seeing with satisfaction that he had passed half of the proficiency level, Chen Mu filled the Five Ghost Bags with fresh fish and continued to chant spells to gain experience.
"There's not much meat left, I have to replenish it tomorrow."
…
the next day.
Nanyangfu, Nanshi, a fresh food street.
Chen Mu once again transformed into a square-faced man. Check out the surrounding stores from time to time. It's a pity that here there is no ancestral delicacy like Lao Qijia Snack Shop.
With his current cooking skills, ordinary snacks are not worth imitating.
Pick a butcher shop at random and agree to deliver the goods in the afternoon.
Chen Mu continued to stroll around Nanshi leisurely.
Seeing no one at home all day long and being bustling with people always made him happy.
As he walked, he looked at the flow of people and quietly observed the shapes of people's faces. Imagine how to adjust the muscle lines to look like the other person, and take the opportunity to increase your understanding of the art of shape-shifting.
North gate of Nanshi.
Chen Mu looked back with satisfaction.
Watching more, pondering more, and then trying them one by one can greatly increase your proficiency.
At this time, a group of people suddenly gathered around the bulletin board under the archway at the north entrance.
Chen Mu was not surprised by this.
It could be a large-scale recruitment of workers somewhere, or someone buying a certain kind of materials on a large scale, or it could be a government office issuing a notice.
"The Jinghong Gang is hiring again."
"We just want to watch the excitement. People have requirements, as long as they are heroes in the world."
"I'm strong, maybe I'll have a chance!"
"What a beautiful thought you have!"
Chen Mu paused slightly.
Is Jinghong Gang still recruiting? Didn’t we just get a batch two months ago?
"Look, the Tangshan Army is also looking for a coach. The salary is good, and masters from all major martial arts schools are wanted, as well as people with special skills."
"It's a pity that I don't know martial arts."
Chen Mu frowned slightly and turned to leave.
The Jinghong Gang is recruiting people, and the Tangshan Army outside the city is recruiting coaches.
It always feels like a storm is coming.
"The civil strife in Daliang must not spread here." Chen Mu prayed.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that there was chaos everywhere in Daliang.
It is very rare for Nanyang Mansion to have the current peace.
"When you have time, you need to understand the situation in the hinterland of Daliang."
"When it really affects Nanyang Mansion, it will be too late to make plans."
"It's just that we have reached the southernmost point of Daliang. Where else can we hide? Going to the sea?" Chen Mu shook his head and didn't think too much.
It’s useless to think about it, it’s better to go home and gain experience.
After taking two steps, Chen Mu paused again, turned around and walked back to Nanshi.
"Let's collect some more food."
