Watching from afar, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel frightened.
"A place of right and wrong..."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 54 Repair
The next morning.
In an abandoned village.
The sky was gloomy and drizzle continued to fall.
The cool breeze is bitingly cold.
The people living in the simple houses throughout the village gradually woke up from their sleep.
After a day of running around in a hurry, the weather was damp and cold.
People who are physically weak will become even weaker, and some may even get sick directly.
The convoy had to delay its departure for a day and make some rest here.
……
Inside a fairly intact mud house.
A red clay stove was placed at the door, with scarlet charcoal burning in it, constantly radiating heat to the surroundings.
On the stove, the black pottery casserole was bubbling with sounds, and white steam was spewing out from the edge of the lid, occasionally lifting the lid.
The little Taoist boy Chengming sat by the stove, his eyes still sleepy, but his nose kept twitching towards the casserole.
No matter how the short and fat Taoist He beside him coaxed him, he didn't move at all.
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry." Taoist He looked at Chen Mu with embarrassment.
Based on their first meeting, he was still a little scared of Chen Mu.
At the beginning, he sincerely swore that this young man was possessed by an evil spirit.
Although it was later proved to be a misunderstanding, He Daoren was still wary.
"It's okay, let him eat here with us."
If you drive one sheep, you can also let two sheep go. Chen Mu glanced at Jie Jia who was sitting next to Cheng Ming calmly.
He was used to this duo of foodies, one old and one young.
……
After the meal, Chen Mu took out two fist-sized gray cloth bags from the cloth bag he was carrying.
There were finger-sized preserved fruits and meat in it, and I threw one bag each to Jiejia and Chengming.
Chen Mu went into the dilapidated house on the west side of the yard.
After a day of resting and having nothing to do, Chen Mu couldn't help but want to improve his proficiency.
"Let's practice the form training technique first."
In the previous three months and two months, I was only focused on recuperating from my injuries and researching alchemy.
The other abilities have basically not been changed, and the proficiency levels are not high when they are just advanced.
Only the shape-training technique has reached half the proficiency.
"Let's improve our physical fitness first."
There is not much space in the house, which is perfect for practicing the Teng Nuo Shi.
As long as you cooperate with the breathing method in a cycle, you can gain proficiency.
"We've rested for so long, so we need to practice a few more times today to make up for what we've fallen behind on."
……
In the evening, the drizzle stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sunset was as red as blood.
The deserted village, which had been quiet all day, suddenly became lively.
After a day of rest, everyone recovered.
Bonfires were lit in deserted houses everywhere, smoke rose up, and the aroma of food rose.
In the small courtyard where Chen Mu is.
A foldable square table is placed in the middle of the yard.
Chen Mu, Jie Jia, Cheng Ming, Zhang Ye, Du Huai, and a pretty girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.
The girl's surname was Bai, and she had been staying in the last car. It was the first time Chen Mu had met her.
This is Jiejia’s group buying group.
In addition to the core members at the table, each of them brought a companion.
He Daoren, who was taking care of Chengming, Zhen Fan, who was under Zhang Ye, and Du Huai, the former county lieutenant, brought a middle-aged housekeeper, and the white girl brought a burly maid.
They were all resting in the yard next to them.
"Luckily we left in time." Zhang Ye was still frightened. "A group of refugees just came into the village. They all escaped from Qingshan County."
"A fire broke out in Qingshan County. The entire west part of the city was burned down. There were so many casualties."
"Our county magistrate and his eldest nephew were all burned to charcoal." Zhang Ye gloated.
Then he glanced at Cheng Ming and said hesitantly: "It is said that there was also a sudden earthquake outside the East City, and the scene was quite chaotic."
Chen Mu's heart sank.
Thinking of the sudden death in the thick fog yesterday.
I'm afraid the so-called fire earthquake is not simple.
Although he was very curious, Chen Mu had no desire to explore.
Whatever the cause was, it was not something he could touch now.
But, an earthquake outside the east city? That Xiaodongshan Qingfeng Temple...
Chen Mu couldn't help but look at Cheng Ming.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen." Although Cheng Ming was young, he was very smart. He immediately understood Chen Mu's thoughts.
"My master and senior brother are highly skilled in martial arts. A rolling earth dragon cannot hurt them. At most, it can only cause the temple to collapse."
"I'm tired of living in that broken Taoist temple. It's better if it collapses! We can build a bigger one. They have plenty of money anyway."
Chen Mu: “…”
Is it so domineering? I also want to have a domineering master and senior brother.
……
Xiaodong Mountain, Qingfeng Temple, and Zushi Temple.
There was an earthquake yesterday and the altar collapsed.
Qingfeng Temple was affected and many buildings collapsed, except for the Ancestral Hall which remained intact.
In the center of the hall, a nanmu coffin lies.
A tall and thin old man stood beside the coffin. He had a yellow gourd hanging on his right waist. In his left hand he was holding a chubby boy of about seven or eight years old.
The boy was very brave. He crossed his legs and lay beside the coffin to look inside.
The tall and thin old man also looked down at Feng Nian's body.
"You used to claim to be a righteous person, saying that I was a perverse person for killing people and refining weapons, and you even drove me away."
"Aren't you also killing people to refine weapons?" the tall and thin old man said with sarcasm.
Then he said with interest: "Now you are also a crooked person."
Staring at Feng Ren's pale face, the tall and thin old man looked regretful: "I really want to see your face when you see me. It's a pity that you are dead..."
"Uncle Wizard, our master suddenly developed a lung disease and passed away unexpectedly. Please accept my condolences." Cheng Yi looked sad.
Wu Yin turned around and whispered in Cheng Yi's ear, "You are the one who poisoned me..."
Chengyi’s eyes suddenly widened!
Like a conditioned reflex, a dagger suddenly appeared in Chengyi's hand and he stabbed it hard at Wuyin.
Clang!
The steel-like touch made Chengyi's face change drastically.
Armor?!
He immediately turned the dagger over, slid his right hand to the right, and then pulled it back fiercely. The sharp dagger suddenly stabbed into the soft flesh on the side of his waist.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing against metal makes sincerity feel like it has fallen into an icy cave.
As if he had thought of something, he completely gave up the idea of defending or escaping, and stabbed Wu Yin's body with the dagger continuously.
clang clang...
Boom!
The dagger finally stabbed into the right side of Wu Yin's neck.
Sparks flew and the tip of the dagger suddenly broke!
At some point, Wu Yin's neck was covered with a layer of dark film, like armor that fits tightly against the skin.
The sharp dagger couldn't hurt the opponent at all.
Wu Yin just stood there, with a playful smile on his face.
“Jia Po?! This is Jia Po?!” Cheng Yi stumbled back, muttering in despair, “I have already drunk the Chang Sheng Yin. If it was two days later, if it was two days later, I could also…”
“Eternal Life Yin? You drank the Eternal Life Yin?” Wu Yin looked at Cheng Yi in astonishment: “Don’t tell me that you poisoned Feng Nian just to steal the Eternal Life Yin?”
