After staying in the teahouse for only an hour, he was ready to go home.
Instead of listening to these upsetting news here, he might as well go home and work on his proficiency.
When I walked out the door, I inadvertently saw a familiar figure.
It turned out to be the eldest son of the Zuo family, Zuo Sheng.
The other person seemed to notice that someone was looking at him and immediately turned around to look over.
When he saw Chen Mu, he was slightly startled, then smiled and nodded.
Chen Mu was stunned, nodded subconsciously in return, and then left quickly.
How could this young master know me?
Inside the Bafang Teahouse, Zuo Sheng looked at the unremarkable scholar with interest.
"Interesting guy."
……
Inside the Chen family residence in Ping'anfang.
Chen Mu held an iron lotus seed and observed.
It is the size of a peanut, oval in shape, and covered with sand-sized pits and dents. It is an extremely rough cast iron lotus seed.
He had polished it specially, otherwise it would be even rougher.
In addition to these, there are nine spiral patterns on it, which he carved one by one and took a lot of effort.
This is a special pattern that he has comprehended through his proficiency.
It is engraved on the iron lotus seed, similar to the rifling inside a gun barrel, which can make the iron lotus seed rotate after being released, increasing its power.
A flick of the wrist.
woo woo woo...
boom!
A palm-thick vegetable mound on the wall ten meters away was instantly pierced through.
"Now, it's really comparable to a pistol bullet."
Chen Mu was carrying a bag of iron lotus seeds and throwing them around non-stop.
In a short while, the locust wood mound on the wall was turned into a hornet's nest.
In the past, in order to hide the fact that he knew martial arts, he didn't dare to practice it freely.
Now that Boss Zhen is not around, Miao Huafang is half-closed, Chen Mu's portrait business has been cut off, and Zhou Liang and Zheng Huan haven't come since one day.
Chen Mu was happy with his freedom.
I completely relaxed and started practicing qigong at home.
Woo!
boom!
The last iron lotus seed was thrown out.
The vegetable mound was instantly shattered into pieces of wood.
At this moment, a warm current suddenly surged from all over the body.
The muscles in the arms, chest, back, waist, abdomen, thighs, and all over the body suddenly began to rise and fall in a rhythm, and swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chen Mu quickly called up the gray wall.
Writing: 1445/10000/Level ;
Picture: 1353/10000/Second Order;
Throw: 3/10000/Level ;
Red Falcon Shape Training: 2769/10000/Level ;
Cooking skills: 3016/10000/level ;
Pharmacy: 1143/10000/first level;
The throwing ability has broken through the third level and can also enhance physical fitness?
This feeling is similar to when Hong Xun was practicing the Xingshu Yi Jin!
When he practiced the Locust Stone before, his body had been strengthened imperceptibly.
Now that he had broken through to the third level, the quantitative change had led to a qualitative change, and his strength and speed had increased dramatically again.
He lifted up his shirt and looked at his well-defined eight-pack abs, and couldn't help but laugh.
This was the good figure he had always dreamed of in his previous life, and now it was a natural thing that came true in an instant!

Chapter 26 Chaos
The chaos came unexpectedly.
One night in April, Chen Mu was sleeping soundly.
A scream was heard.
Chen Mu woke up suddenly.
Listening carefully, the faint wailing sound made him realize that something had happened!
He quickly put on a piece of clothing and jumped onto the roof.
I saw fires burning in various places in the city, and the sounds of fighting and screams could be heard one after another.
A chaotic army attacking the city?!
He didn't dare to go out and run around.
In this kind of chaos, one could lose one's life if one is not careful.
I could only sit on the roof and pay close attention to everything that happened around me.
Fortunately, the bandits did not immediately raid the civilian population.
Mainly targeting the wealthy families in the city.
The fires were mostly concentrated in the city center.
He stared at the surroundings nervously until daybreak, when the shouting and screaming gradually disappeared.
Accompanied by the faint sound of horses running and whistling, Qingshan County fell into a brief calm.
When the sun rises, the cries of grief can be heard one after another.
In the chaos of the night, countless people died.
Chen Mu closed the door tightly and decided to stay at home and not go out.
The thieves and bandits had just left, but the chaos was not over yet.
"Fortunately, I stockpiled some food before."
As food prices continued to rise and news of military rebellion continued to arrive, he had a bad feeling and decisively stockpiled food and medicinal materials.
Now that I have food in my hands, I am not worried.
The gates of the three houses were all blocked with wooden sticks.
Chen Mu stayed at home quietly improving his proficiency.
"Wait until everything calms down, then go out and explore."
……
Two days later in the evening.
Chen Mu finished a day of practice and had a meal and rest.
Listen carefully to the movements around you.
The chaos is still not over.
Sporadic screams could still be heard in the middle of the night.
"I don't know what the county soldiers are doing."
Two days passed, and the government still hadn't come out to quell the chaos and restore order.
"Will they not be completely wiped out by the bandits?"
The idea of going out to take a look that had just come to my mind was immediately dispelled.
With his martial arts skills, even if he can't defeat a strong man, he can at least run away.
But once the fact that he knows martial arts is revealed, it might arouse other people's curiosity, investigation, and eventually cause trouble.
"The longer you live, the better you will live."
The water in this world is quite deep.
……
Anlefang, East Market.
The door of Miaohuafang shop is open.
There were calligraphy, paintings, paper and ink scattered everywhere.
The counter was also pushed and overturned.
There were some bloodstains on the wall.
Zhou Liang and Zheng Huan walked out of the store with gloomy faces.
"He was so clean, he didn't leave a penny for us two brothers!" Zhou Liang said bitterly.
"All the wealthy shops nearby have been robbed. Should we go check out the homes of the wealthy families in Shengyefang?" Zheng Huan said unwillingly.
