My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 82 Malice
For the next five days, Chen Mu placed a paper effigy at Kuituo's house every day.

The other party is from the Jinghong Gang, and he happens to have a conflict with the Jinghong Gang, so he has to think twice.

Fortunately, everything is as usual.

Kuituo was just a wandering swordsman recruited by the Jinghong Gang. It was all by chance that people ended up living near him.

Chen Mu even went so far as to find the original residents of the house in Kuituo, disguised his appearance, and subtly inquired about the reasons for their move.

As a result, they bought a bigger house, and the original one was rented out.

Two of the courtyards that Chen Mu rented belonged to other people.

Chen Mu: “…”

Local homeowners? We can't afford to mess with them.

I never imagined that after transmigrating, I would still have to endure the stimulation of the landlord. It's really... I'm so envious!

Chen Mu recalled his cautious actions over the past few days and couldn't help but chuckle. He was truly terrified. He was practically a frightened bird. The world is a mess, but not everyone is a bad person.

Kui Tuo was at most a neighbor he met by chance.

"Don't think too badly of people."

"Don't have paranoia either."

"There aren't that many people who care about me."

Chen Mu shook his head, trying to comfort himself.

……

With the storm passing and things calming down, he resumed practicing his physical techniques at home.

Khrikuti comes every three to five days. Each time he comes, he brings a gold ingot as a gift.

Chen Mu subtly reminded the other party several times that he did not want to be disturbed.

Then the gift from Krito became two gold coins.

Chen Mu: "..." That's not what I meant.

"Fanlou has a big reputation, but the chef's skills are just so-so. You're much better, Brother Chen."

Krishna didn't care about the money at all.

He became the captain, and money came easily to him, so he didn't feel bad about spending it.

During the day, he would practice unknown formations at the Jinghong Gang, and at night he would go to the Chunfeng Tower to enjoy himself.

Every three days during my rest period, I would go to Chen Mu's house for a meal, and he would casually give me some gold cakes.

"I don't know when I'll get to eat this again," said Kui Tuo, clutching his bulging belly and looking hesitantly at the last pie in the bamboo basket.

"Is the Jinghong Gang making a big move?" Chen Mu asked curiously.

"They said I'm going to the north on business with a big shot. Half of the leaders from each branch have been sent there. I have to go too."

Chen Mu's heart tightened.

The north? Isn't it in chaos and war there?

Is the local power in Nanyang Prefecture going to intervene in the conflict?

Unfortunately, Khutu was a muddle-headed and reckless man. He only cared about getting paid and didn't care about anything else. You couldn't get any information out of him.

"Have a safe journey," Chen Mu wished.

Hopefully, the war will not spread to Nanyang Prefecture.

……

Feeling down, Chen Mu decided to go out for a walk to clear her head.

As we walked, we arrived at the corridor of Fanlou.

Chen Mu glanced at Sihai Tower on the left, then at Chunfeng Tower on the right. He pursed his lips.

It's the same dish, but they're charging such a high price! What a rip-off! A complete rip-off!

Chen Mu harshly criticized Chunfeng Tower, then turned and walked to the right.

"Let's spend some money to find out about the Jinghong Gang."

Just then, Krishna gave me several gold coins. My income soared. I wasn't afraid to spend them!

As usual, we found a dark corner booth to sit down and ordered a large table of delicious food.

"Oh, is it Miss Lotus Dew performing today? It's a pity it's not Miss Jade Peach."

Looking at the other person's alluring figure, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel happy.

"Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. You're just worrying for nothing." "Did you develop paranoia from time travel?" Chen Mu shook his head and chuckled.

The world is in a bad state, but not everything is bad. Just a few days ago I was suspicious of Kritu. In reality, he was just an ordinary江湖人 (jianghu ren, a person who lives and works in the martial arts world).

"When you have time, you should still go out to eat delicious food, see beautiful scenery, and admire beautiful women. Staying at home for too long can easily lead to psychological problems."

"There are bad people in the world, but not all bad people target you," Chen Mule said happily as she ate her food and watched the dance.

……

The deepest room on the third floor of Chunfeng Tower.

Sikou Yu sat with an air of nonchalance, drinking wine, his face beaming with undisguised excitement: "Has the young boy made the arrangements?"

"Ten bones are transformed, two are transformed into marrow, ensuring safety at all times."

Five beautiful maids took turns attending to her daily needs.

"Five cooks who are skilled in all kinds of delicacies are always ready to prepare meals."

The only two people in the room, a thin man in his forties dressed in black, bowed and said.

"Not enough, find five more cooks. People with Daoist bones naturally eat a lot," Sikou Yu ordered cheerfully.

"It's a pity about that bell-shaped magical artifact."

"That man possesses immense spiritual power; he's only one head away from achieving the Armored Soul. For you, young master, to repel him and successfully seize the Dao Bone Child is already quite remarkable," the man in black flattered.

Sikou Yu burst into laughter.

As long as he delivers the boy to Shouyang Mountain on time, he can obtain a Thousand Machine Token. This is much simpler than fighting to the death to steal the token!
"We must keep the good news under wraps," Si Kouyu warned sternly.

"Then... what about Miss Seven?" the man in black asked hesitantly.

“I’ll tell my sister myself when she comes back from her trip north,” Si Kouyu said after thinking for a moment.

He can snatch the Dao Bone back, but whether he can keep it depends on his sister.

This time, they only managed to drive away the Taoist priest because of the protection of the family's magical artifact.

If that person comes back to take him away, he might not be able to stop him.

“That man has magical artifacts and a Daoist child, and he himself is about to cultivate to the point of mastering the Armor Soul. It seems unnecessary for him to kill Lin Que? Could it be that he was after the Ebony? But how did he know that Lin Que possessed the Ebony?” The man in black cautiously reminded Si Kouyu that someone else had killed Lin Que.

"Haha. Of course I know he didn't kill him." Sikou Yu waved his hand without any concern: "I only said he was the murderer because I had my eye on his family's magical artifacts."

"I never expected this person to be a treasure-delivering boy. Not only does he possess magical artifacts, but he also has a Taoist boy with innate Taoist talent."

"Young master is wise." The man in black smiled and said, "My men will go find that scholar Chen Mu tomorrow."

"It's good that you arrived in time." Si Kouyu laughed. "The Jinghong Gang is a bunch of useless trash, they can only run errands."

The man in black smiled and said, "The Soul-Locking Insect is amazing, but not exactly secretive. The other side might already know its weakness."

"Fortunately, I brought the Treasure-Seeking Cicada with me this time." The man in black chuckled. "Whether it's human or not doesn't matter, we're just looking for ebony."

Si Kouyu immediately pointed at the man in black and laughed loudly: "You understand me best!"

"I don't care whether Chen Mu lives or dies, I only want the ebony. Whoever takes my ebony, I'll kill them!" Sikou Yu said viciously.

He had always suspected that Zuo Sheng had taken the ebony.

Otherwise, why would they be in such a hurry to silence Sun Fu?
"Anyone who gets in your way of finding ebony will be killed without mercy! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

"Yes!"

……

Inside a corner cubicle on the first floor.

Chen Mu stood speechless, a piece of pig's ear between his chopsticks.

The paper effigy of a ghost appeared beside me.

"I finally let down my guard and planned to face the world with a positive attitude," Chen Mu said dejectedly.

But reality dealt him a heavy blow.

"Judging from their conversation, their killing and looting were so coordinated and practiced; it was clearly not their first time," Chen Mu thought in shock. Countless innocent people had been murdered and robbed of their treasures.

brush!
A gray hidden dagger appeared in his hand.

"To kill without mercy for a piece of wood?!" Chen Mu was filled with grief and indignation.

Chen Mu suddenly stood up.

"That's so unreasonable!"

"I need to go and talk to them!"
