My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 90 Search
Time flies, and more than twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Mu spent his days at home grinding for skill points.

With a foundation in the Red Falcon Form Training Technique, the Blue-Eyed Golden Ape Form Training Technique progressed rapidly.

Azure-Eyed Golden Ape Body Refinement Technique: 6025/10000/Tier 3;

"In another half month or so, the marrow transformation will be completed."

He casually tossed a handful of medicated bait into the small pond and watched with satisfaction as the fish scrambled for it in the water.

Previously, in order to practice the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell, he almost exhausted all resources to catch fish.

The density of live fish in the nearby river section, which he had lured with medicated bait, had decreased by several tens of percent. It has finally recovered over this period.

"It's a pity we don't need it anymore."

"Perhaps we could prepare some more fasting pills," Chen Mu said thoughtfully.

He had stockpiled two cellars of white wheat, so he wasn't worried about this little bit of loss.

Bigu pills are preservative and easy to store. Prepare a lot, so that you can just pack up and leave whenever you need to leave Nanyang.

……

In the pavilion, Jie Jia's hands, which were kneading silver beads, couldn't help but stop. He glanced at Chen Mu, who was kneading rice balls, and asked, "You're not thinking of running away again, are you?"

"Yes, yes." Chen Mu looked troubled. "Look outside, there's a huge search every day. I don't even dare to leave the house."

"Did you kill him?" Jie Jia asked suspiciously.

"If I had that ability, would I be hiding at home all day?" Chen Mu rolled his eyes naturally.

Jie Jia squinted at Chen Mu, and after a long while, he looked away: "Then what are you afraid of?"

“That’s a scion of a powerful family! According to you, he’s always been domineering. What if he comes looking for trouble with me one day?” Chen Mu said with a worried expression.

“Look at the commotion in the city. County officials, local thugs, everyone from top to bottom is mobilized. I’m just an ordinary commoner. If such a behemoth comes after me, I’ll have no chance of survival.”

"Just an ordinary commoner?" Jie Jia's eyes darted around as he glanced at Chen Mu and said calmly, "They won't cause you any trouble."

"Why?" Chen Mu asked, puzzled.

"You do not deserve."

Chen Mu: “…”

The armored man glanced at him sideways: "After all, he's just an ordinary commoner..."

Chen Mu: “…”

Are you still making sarcastic remarks?

Don't you realize how serious things are?!
The entire city is plastered with wanted posters!
That's all sincerity... Well, okay, this is a really big scapegoat.

What else could Chen Mu say? He could only say... Well done!
"You have nowhere to run even if you want to," Jie Jia said calmly.

"With the Great Liang in turmoil and rampant evil spirits, Nanyang City is one of the few safe and peaceful places."

"You still want to set sail?"

Chen Mu's eyes lit up. Finding a secluded island to stay home and relax didn't seem so bad. Maybe he could even make a cameo appearance as Huang Yaoshi.

Jie Jia glanced at Chen Mu and shook his head: "The sea is more dangerous. If you're not afraid of death, you can go."

Chen Mu shrugged. Fine, I'll just stay home.

……

Where is their sincerity hidden? The entire Nanyang Prefecture launched a massive search, but even though Sikou Yu has been dead for over a month, they still couldn't find him.

Chen Mu became increasingly at ease staying at home.

He was about to have lunch when a head appeared on the wall by the door.

Noticing Chen Mu's gaze, the other party chuckled and climbed over the wall.

Chen Mu: "..." None of you know how to use the door, do you?!

"I've come at just the right time!" Krito laughed heartily as he walked into the pavilion.

Chen Mu glanced at the other person sideways.

If it weren't for the ghostly paper figure on the willow tree staring at him, he almost would have believed it.

This burly man went back and forth several times, just waiting for him to finish making lunch so he could climb over the wall at the perfect moment.

Is it really worth it for a stutter?

Kuituo skillfully tossed two gold ingots to Chen Mu, then ran to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, and began to eat them without any politeness.

……

After the meal, Chen Mu prepared some herbal tea.

I casually mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, the Jinghong Gang's trip to the north.

Krishna immediately began to pour out his grievances to him.

"Is the Jinghong Gang recruiting people to exorcise evil spirits?"

I just can't believe it. Is this what gangs are supposed to do?

Training troops? For what purpose?
Kui Tuo didn't know much, and Chen Mu was also confused. If the Jinghong Gang was like this, was the Tangshan Army outside the city also like this?
Why would a scion of a prominent family suddenly become interested in evil spirits?

After thinking about it for a long time without understanding, Chen Mu simply stopped thinking about it; these things were none of his business.

He was more interested in the evil spirits causing trouble, and had Kritu explain it to him in detail several times.

……

In Ningrenfang, Nanyang Prefecture, there is an abandoned house.

A man who was two meters tall and extremely robust stood in the courtyard.

He gripped a thin man's neck with his large, fan-like hand and asked slowly, "Tell me, who sent you?"

The skinny man was being choked, struggling to breathe, his eyes bloodshot with anxiety. He kept slapping the strong man's iron-like hand, signaling him to let go.

The burly man frowned, staring at the skinny man, and shook his head helplessly: "You're really stubborn."

The skinny man's eyes were practically bulging out.

Why the hell are you letting go?! I didn't say I wouldn't confess!
He kept gesturing with both hands towards the burly man. He even endured the pain of suffocation and wrote words on the man's arm.

The burly man stared intently at the other man's fingers.

After the skinny man finished writing, the burly man suddenly realized: "You're willing to risk your life to scratch me a couple of times?"

Skinny man: "..."

"Cheers to you, man!"

Click!

The man snapped the other man's neck in one swift motion, as if it were a cucumber.

The skinny man stared at the burly man in disbelief.

I clearly wrote it for you...

……

"It's true that all sorts of monsters and demons have come out." A middle-aged man with a fair complexion suddenly appeared on the wall, shaking his head and sighing as he looked at the burly man.

"I never expected that while we were searching house to house for wanted criminals, we would actually find you, Demon Ape Slaughtering the Mountain."

"It's you!" The burly man Tu Shan stared at the middle-aged man.

"You recognized me?" The middle-aged man smiled faintly.

"Back when we were trying to take you down, you accidentally punched me."

"I've trained hard for ten years, and I've long wanted to avenge that punch."

"I think it should be today," the middle-aged man said proudly.

Tu Shan stared at the other man with a grim expression: "You sent this skinny monkey to my house. So... who are you?"

Middle-aged man: "..."

I've been talking to you for ages, and you still don't know who I am?!
"What the hell..."

boom!
The middle-aged man was like a ball, whooshed away in a flash.

Tu Shan shaded his forehead and looked at the figure being blown away by Da Fei, saying seriously, "It's wrong to swear."

Then he strolled out the gate, looking at the hundreds of soldiers standing guard with swords, shields, bows, and crossbows in the streets and alleys. He grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

……

Half an hour later.

Si Kouqing darted to Ningrenfang like an arrow.

Hundreds of soldiers lay on the ground, groaning in agony, their limbs and torsos scattered everywhere. The entire street looked as if it had been splashed with red paint.

Shattered shields, broken longswords, and snapped bows were everywhere.

"It's the Demon Ape Slaughtering the Mountain!" Qi Tingman leaned closer and whispered, "Should we notify the family to come and arrest them?"

“The date is approaching, and these monsters are all coming out one by one.” Si Kouqing frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and shook his head, saying, “Don’t worry about them. That’s the Zhou family’s business, and it has nothing to do with our Si Kou family.”

"Could it be him who did it?" Qi Tingman asked hesitantly.

“No.” Si Kouqing shook his head and pointed to the horrific street scene: “When someone massacres a mountain, they won’t cover it up.”

Qi Tingman's face twitched.

Unexpectedly, this god of death was hidden in Nanyang Prefecture.

Back then, the other party killed several direct descendants of the Zhou family. They were wanted and hunted down by all the powerful families. Unexpectedly, so many years have passed, and the other party is still alive and well.

"Miss, the waters in Nanyang Prefecture are too deep..." Qi Tingman hesitated. If they found another ruthless person, it would be troublesome.

"Continue the search," Si Kouqing said decisively.

If you're determined to kill, you should definitely snatch that little boy.

The search must not only continue, but it must be intensified!

So much time has passed, the matter of the Daoist Child may have already been discovered by those with ulterior motives!

She has to make the first move!
