My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 120, Chapter 119: Turmoil
boom!
Chen Mu closed the door.

Chao Fang immediately gave a wink to the round-faced man beside him.

The other party immediately put down the lantern in his hand and darted into the courtyard next to Chen Mu's house.

He quietly hid in the moonlight and shadows, keeping a close eye on Chen Mu.

……

In the courtyard, Chen Mu felt annoyed and his scalp itched, but he dared not scratch it.

He glanced sideways at the shadowy area of ​​the roof next door out of the corner of his eye.

"I was careless! I forgot to use the paper dolls to scout the way."

"Staying in one place for too long can indeed make people lose their vigilance."

Like an ordinary person, Chen Mu groped his way into the house in the dark to light the lamp, hummed a little tune as he fetched water to wash up, and even poured himself a glass of iced tea to cool off.

"They occupied my yard and even sent people to monitor me..."

Outrageous!

Deceiving too much!

Chen Mu grew angrier the more he thought about it, took a deep breath, blew out the light, and went to sleep.

There are four or five wandering spirits; we can't afford to mess with them.

……

"Brother, that person is asleep." The round-faced man in the opposite courtyard said anxiously.

"Zongtai, be more careful next time you do something," Chao Fang sighed.

The round-faced man froze.

Chao Fang waved his hand: "Forget it, judging from that person, he's probably a recluse who rarely goes out."

"I was in a hurry, so it's understandable that you didn't find any trace of the other party."

Zongtai, however, was still worried: "Brother, something important is about to happen, should we..."

Chao Fang squinted and thought for a moment: "Don't move yet."

"But he lives right across the street. If he notices our unusual behavior over time, I'm afraid..."

Chao Fang glanced at Zong Tai: "Do you know his name? Do you know who he's close to? Do you know who he sees most often?"

Zong Tai hesitated and dared not speak.

“Killing someone is the most lowly method,” Chao Fang sighed.

"We must wipe them all out!"

Chao Fang spoke earnestly: "To nip it in the bud is the best approach."

Chen Mu, lying in bed with his eyes open, was eavesdropping and peeping through a small paper doll: "..."

"What a ruthless person," Chen Mu sighed.

Moving house furtively in the middle of the night, and immediately being watched by the neighbors, is clearly not a good thing.

And that "major event" they were talking about sounded ominous.

How to do?
Or... wait until they fall asleep and then take them away?
An action plan quickly took shape in my mind.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mu raised his hand and gently patted his face.

"They've gotten carried away, they've gotten carried away."

"They even dared to kill someone to silence them!"

"Four or five Wandering Soul experts, and another one whose strength is unknown, but who is at least a Wandering Soul leader. Who gave me the guts? Bewitching smoke or a hidden sword?" Chen Mu reflected in frustration.

"Let's run." Chen Mu sighed.

Anyway, I have... I rent more than a dozen apartments.

The next day, Chen Mu slept until he naturally woke up, just like he always did.

I got up and made myself a pot of pan-fried dumplings.

After dinner, I cleaned up the dishes, changed into clean clothes, and strolled out the door without taking anything with me.

……

"Big brother, we lost him." Zong Tai said with a face full of shame.

Chao Fang frowned deeply: "What's going on?"

"The other party seemed to be proficient in disguise. They entered a busy area of ​​Taipei City and disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Our whereabouts..."

Chao Fang carefully recalled the events of their meeting the previous night.

"I've met a master."

Realizing something was wrong, he immediately fled, not even realizing what had happened.

"I should have done it to him last night!" Zong Tai said bitterly.

Chao Fang glanced at the other person and sighed, "If we really go, it'll probably be a hassle."

The other party acted as if nothing was amiss. Either they were being extremely cautious and constantly putting on a facade, or they had already discovered that they were being watched.

Regardless of which one it was, if I had actually encountered it last night, it would have definitely been a lot of trouble and a commotion.

"It seems we can't wait any longer. Notify Tu Shan to enter the city."

“Send someone to deliver the evidence of the Zhang family’s collusion with us to Shangguan Tong.”

"Guard the twelve soul-capturing stakes well."

"As soon as the signal for Shangguan Ji's serious injury arrives, immediately initiate the blood sacrifice."

Zongfang's heart skipped a beat: "Yes!"

……

Taohuafang, east of Nanyang Prefecture.

Chen Mu quietly arrived at a small alley.

He climbed over the back wall of a house and entered. "After all this time, I'm back to where I started," Chen Mu sighed.

"It's a pity about all my pots and pans; I've used them all for a long time."

Black smoke billowed, instantly cleaning up the courtyard that had been covered in fallen leaves.

Pushing open the door, I casually removed the spider web hanging in mid-air.

"The cellar was just filled with grain and cured meat; I wonder who will benefit from it." The black smoke continued to sweep through.

The room, which was covered in dust and cobwebs, was quickly cleaned and tidied.

With the doors and windows open for ventilation, Chen Mu sat at the square table, frowning.

"Nanyang Prefecture is getting more and more chaotic."

"We'll leave Nanyang tonight after we get another batch of Zu Mingfu on credit from Jie Jia."

With four or five powerful martial arts experts arriving at once, he felt that his new neighbor was up to no good.

Even the leaders of the Jinghong Gang aren't necessarily skilled in martial arts. That square-faced guy actually treats them like servants.

"I can't afford to offend them..."

……

evening.

Chen Mu looked at the baked pie with a strange expression.

Just now, the Jade Toad Form Refinement Technique was completed.

On the inner and outer sides of his thighs, a palm-sized piece of spiritual energy appeared, making four wandering spiritual energy points on his legs.

The joy of accident!

The frustration of being forced to leave home vanished completely.

"You just wait, once I've mastered the Armor Soul, I'll see if I don't come after you for rent!" Chen Mu thought to himself with a smirk.

After a careful inventory, it was found that he already possessed quite a few wandering spirits.

The total area covered is almost one-twentieth of the entire body.

"It's a bit small, but... there's hope for Jiapo." Chen Mu thought with relief.

……

On the square table, two large plates, each about the length of a forearm in diameter, are placed in the center.

A platter of braised beef and pig's head meat, a plate of blanched bok choy, and a small bowl of chili dipping sauce in the middle.

Next to it was a flat bamboo basket, piled high with charcoal-grilled fresh meat pies.

Jie Jia followed the secret marks left by Chen Mu and came looking at the rustic dinner on the table, somewhat stunned.

"I wanted to get something nice, but the circumstances don't allow it. I'll just have to make do with what I have," Chen Mu shrugged.

“A group of thugs came across the street, so I had to leave.”

Jie Jia nodded: "You really can't beat them."

Chen Mu rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

"Have a meal!"

The room immediately fell silent.

The two men possessed monstrous physical abilities. There was enough food to feed five or six ordinary people, yet they devoured it quickly, albeit seemingly slowly.

"Give me some more Ancestral Symbols," Chen Mu said after hesitating for a long time.

“You really don’t need to run.” Jie Jia glanced at Chen Mu and said helplessly.

Chen Mu shook his head cautiously and said, "Let's go hide in Lijiang City instead."

There's no need to deliberately put yourself in danger.

He's skilled enough; he'll master it sooner or later.

There are still some scenic spots to see, such as the opening of the Heavenly Gate and the attainment of immortality.

Before that, save your life.

"I'll give you the formulas for Qingfeng Powder and Blue Pills. See how many talismans you can give me at once."

Jie Jia raised an eyebrow: "Not planning to come back?"

“Something’s not right. I think Nanyang Prefecture might descend into chaos in the future,” Chen Mu said worriedly.

Just as Jie Jia was about to speak, he suddenly turned to look at the inner city. Then he got up and walked out of the room.

Chen Mu couldn't help but follow him into the courtyard, looking in the direction Jie Jia was looking.

From afar, only scattered lights could be seen flickering on the inner city walls.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Mu asked, staring at the dark city wall in the distance, puzzled.

Jie Jia remained expressionless, his bright yellow eyes glancing at Chen Mu: "Things have already gotten chaotic."

Chen Mu was stunned, his face full of astonishment: "No way?!"

"They're making their move so quickly?"

He immediately jumped onto the roof beam, staring wide-eyed at the inner city: "I can't see anything."

Jie Jia stood beside him, looking up at the distant sky, and suddenly took out a stack of Taoist talismans from his sleeve and handed them to Chen Mu.

The Taoist talismans were heavy in my hand; there were at least twenty of them.

"Keep the ancestral charm safe, and don't go out tonight."

"What do you mean?" Chen Mu gripped the Zu Ming Fu, suddenly having a bad feeling.

Jie Jia glanced back at the sky and said indifferently, "Nothing, just a bunch of ghostly spirits floating in the sky."

Chen Mu: “…”

"Don't even think about running away," Jie Jia said calmly. "There are even more outside the city."

Chen Mu: “…”
