The next afternoon, a burly man with a sinister face and a sinister appearance walked into Wanyao Hall carrying a baggage.
Less than half a quarter of an hour later, the evil man put the empty bag on his waist and walked out of the shop with empty hands. He wandered around the street for a while, then found an intersection and headed south down the mountain.
Passing through a forest three miles away, the evil man walked in and was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Mou appeared in a cave in another world. He took off the human skin mask on his face, rubbed away the mud that had been filled in his cheeks for a long time, took off his outer robe, removed the hemp belt tied around his body, and washed his hands and face carefully.
After a while, put on the blue Taoist robe again.
Chewing on the two jujubes he specially left behind, they tasted really good.
Sweet, crunchy, and fragrant.
This time I received 188 spiritual stones, plus the 150 spiritual stones I earned from selling magic weapons with the Forging Pavilion at the beginning of the month. I now have a balance of more than 300 spiritual stones on hand, and my waist is straight.
Walk in the wind.
After eating the dates, keep the date cores. Next time you go to the cliff on the left, bury the date cores in the ground.
Whether a jujube tree can grow or not depends on God's will. He will not force it.
He sowed a lot of purchased magical medicinal seeds on that cliff land, and many medicinal seedlings grew.
He has never taken care of it. Wild medicinal plants must learn to grow alone, competing with weeds for soil nutrients and sunlight.
Survival of the fittest, the weak are bullied to death by weeds.
Returning to the quiet room in the west room, Chen Mou heard the muffled voices of women talking at the door.
Opening the door to the room, Shi Shiran walked out.
Outside the courtyard gate, a strange girl with a pretty face and very big eyes was startled. She ducked out of the door, only half of her thin face was exposed, and she begged the owner in a low voice: "Master, please do me a favor, please lend me your money."
Please give me some food, slave."
Chen Mou did not go down the eaves steps. He stood still and wondered, there are still maids in the market who can starve to such a pitiful state. How miserable is the master of that monk?
He told Ying'er who came over: "Bring her some food."
He turned around and walked back to the west room, closing the door. He was outside, and the hungry and disfigured girl felt uncomfortable.
"yes!"
Ying'er replied and ordered Han'er behind him to get food and put a few kilograms of brown rice and some dried vegetables and bacon in cloth bags to save the emergency but not the poor. However, the woman was very curious and talked to the maid who was as skinny as a stick of hunger outside the door and asked what happened.
What happened.
No matter how quiet you speak outside, Chen Mou can still hear clearly in the quiet room.
"Thank you for your kindness, master and sister. My name is Xu'er. I am the newly bought maid from next door in the east. My master has been out for half a month and has not been heard from at all. There is not much food left in the yard and they won't give me anything to eat...
I can be hungry for four days, but I won’t be able to starve any longer.”
After hearing this, Chen Mou roughly understood what had happened. The owner of the house was probably in danger.
The former maid in the courtyard bullied the students and forced the maid named Xu'er to go out to beg.
There are regulations in the city. If the master does not return for a month and the maid has no livelihood, she can ask the foreign affairs office for help, and the foreign affairs office will provide temporary financial support. If the master does not return for half a year, the yard that has not been rented will be taken back and the maid will be
If a dental building is sold, the owner's responsibilities and debts will be held accountable. If it is confirmed that he is dead, the debts will be written off.
The owner of the house didn't leave enough martial virtue money for his maid's daily life before he went out, which was stingy.
"It's so pitiful...Xu'er, eat something first, don't choke, and eat slowly."
Ying'er and Han'er were inside the door, watching the maid outside the door gobbling up food and almost starving to death.
They felt the same way and handed over another bowl of rice soup left over from lunch.
Ying'er made a look with Han'er again and asked Han'er to pack some more brown rice, dried vegetables, and bacon, hoping that the owner of that house would go home early. His son was kind-hearted and never scolded them harshly. He only let them go occasionally.
Can't get out of bed.
Chen Mou didn't listen any more. He closed his eyes and practiced, and couldn't hear what was going on outside the window.
His Ying'er family always has at least five Wude coins in pocket money, and even Han'er has saved the private money from his rewards.
The next afternoon, Chen Mou went to Lundao Hall to learn swordsmanship. Brother Cui had already taught him all the Nine Palaces and Nine Swords. The rest was for him to work hard and practice diligently to develop the unique sword feel of the Nine Palaces Sword.
Stand on a sword stand in the sword training room, hold the sword with your bare hands, and keep turning your body with your wrist to do the practice of holding the yin and holding the yang.
Cui Xiao walked in from the outside and looked at it for a moment. There was no problem with the sword fighting.
Finding sword sense is a rather tortuous process. He also wants to know how long it will take Junior Brother Chen, who is very talented in swordsmanship, to find the sword sense of Jiugong Sword? What kind of sword sense is found?
Everyone's perception is different, and everyone's sense of swordsmanship is different.
Later, he will teach new sword skills based on his sword sense.
After Chen Mou rehearsed the Nine Palaces and Nine Swords, Cui Xiao exchanged a few words of advice. Before leaving, he turned back and said: "Several strange things have happened in Fang City recently. At least five monks went out without a trace, and no one was alive or dead.
No body was found. According to the evidence searched by the monks in Fang City, the missing people suddenly went out at night, and ignored the greetings of acquaintances on the road, as if they were under some kind of evil spell."
Chen Mou was a little surprised. He had only been in peace for a few days and something strange happened again. He replied: "Thank you, Brother Cui, for letting me know. I won't go out at night."
"Practice your skills well, and no matter what evil spirits it is, you can kill it with one sword until its parents don't recognize it."
Cui Xiao said it in an understatement, but he was expecting something strange to happen to him.
These nights, he was dressed in white robes and wandered around the city like a lonely ghost. He also went to the misty forest many times. Except for meeting the patrolling monks, he didn't touch anything dirty.
He wanted to do good deeds and accumulate virtue by the way, but he didn't give him a chance.
Chen Mou cupped his hands and held his sword, holding his stinky feet in his hands and said: "Senior Brother Cui is mighty!"
He also informed Senior Brother Cui that the monk who lived next door to him had been out for half a month. Since Senior Brother Cui was interested in the evil spirits that harmed people, he would go to the trouble of checking it out if he could. If he could make the city clean, it would be good for everyone.
good.
Cui Xiao asked for the house number of the house and went out without being happy or angry.
After finishing his sword practice in the afternoon, Chen Mou went to the store to buy a lot of brown rice, dried vegetables, cured meat, fresh meat and other items. He carried large and small bags home and warned his maid that she was not allowed to go out these days, even if the neighbor next door called Xu
When your maid comes to beg, don't open the door easily. Wait until he is home before opening the door to give you food.
He was worried that his maid might be harmed by the evil spirits hidden in the city, so it was best to be careful.
The monk whose neighbor to the east is out is almost certainly unlucky, otherwise he would not leave his martial virtue money for his maid for living expenses before leaving home. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Then he went to Cui Mansion in the west and knocked on the courtyard door. Mo Fu had just returned from the fields and the mud on the foot poles had not been cleaned yet.
"Brother Mo, please don't go to Qianxiu Tower to drink wine at night these days. The city is not at peace."
"I was just going to tell you about this. You are well-informed now."
Mo Fu rubbed the muddy water on his right foot with his left foot. After reacting, he said angrily: "You kid is slandering me again. When have I ever been to a place like Qianxiu Tower that harbors filth and evil? I have three acres of my own."
You can’t even cultivate the land you’re allocated, and you’re so busy that your feet don’t even touch the ground, so how can you have any leisure time?”
Dou'er, who opened the door, blushed when she heard her master's crazy talk, pretended not to understand, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
Mr. Chen looked down at the idiot who dared to act but refused to recognize him, then turned around and walked out, "Brother Mo, are you still innocent? You want to laugh me to death... Wow, hahaha."
"Come back, let's fight for three hundred rounds at the wine table. It's really unreasonable."
"No need, it's getting dark soon and I'm not interested in men."
