Zhang Ye, the leader of Qingshan County's gangsters and the leader of the Bailang Gang, did not dare to provoke Cuicui at all. He nodded and bowed to her, respectfully addressing her as Sister Cuicui.
Looking at the other person's body and then at his prey, Zhang Ye couldn't even stand up straight.
With Cuicui's help, Chen Mu's food crisis was immediately solved.
Set aside at least two extra hours every day to practice.
Just like now, while waiting for the fish to be caught, the breathing method is also constantly practicing.
Half an hour later, the surface of the river was filled with fish with their bellies turned upside down.
Chen Mu filled the Five Ghosts Bag and walked back.
But not long after leaving the river bend, Chen Mu suddenly stopped.
At this time, only a trace of sunset glow remained.
The river banks were gloomy.
The water was rushing, but no sound of insects or birds chirping could be heard.
In the shallow water of the river, a figure was bathing in the water.
The other person's long hair fluttered, and her back was slender and white when it emerged from the water, with drops of water hanging on her shoulders. Just looking at her made people have wild thoughts.
Chen Mu looked at it silently for a while, then turned and walked into the woods.
But after walking for a while, Chen Mu couldn't help but stop.
A naked figure with a beautiful back was lying on the path in the woods.
The round and slender legs side by side make people feel itchy just by looking at them.
A chill slowly spread among the woods.
Chen Mu stared at it for a while, then changed direction and continued walking.
Not long after he got there, Chen Mu stopped for the third time.
Staring at the familiar figure standing not far away with his back to him, Chen Mu frowned deeply.
In the wilderness, I was bathing in a river, but there were no clothes on the shore.
Then move quickly to block the way.
There is also the eerie coldness that permeates the forest.
Chen Mu suppressed his fluctuating emotions and said solemnly: "This is the result of a casual outing!"
Then he asked with concern: "Are you cold, girl?"
"Did your clothes fall into the river?"
"I have extra clothes. How about selling you one?"
"It's only ten taels of silver. You won't suffer any loss or be cheated!"
"..."
Chapter 57 Divine Will
Woo!
A hollow iron lotus seed rose into the air with a low whistling sound.
"Please wait a moment, girl. My servant will bring the clothes to you right away." Chen Mu explained with a smile.
The long-haired woman said nothing.
Chen Mu sighed and said, "I'm ready to pick up the goods for you. If you want to buy them, just say something."
A thick fog quickly spread among the woods.
"Or you could just make way." Chen Mu was anxious to go back and cook as he was hungry.
The long-haired woman didn't move.
The cold air around was getting thicker.
"The road is wide and we can each walk on half of it. So, I'll go that way and you can't block my way anymore." Chen Mu negotiated sincerely.
Then he ignored the long-haired girl's reaction, turned 90 degrees, and walked away.
But before he had walked ten meters, Chen Mu stopped.
Another graceful figure appeared in front.
But the snow-white skin was covered with blood, and festering wounds appeared on the back and thighs, and they were rapidly getting worse and bigger. Just looking at it made people's scalp tingle.
Chen Mu's face was full of helplessness: "Girl, if you are so aggressive, don't blame me for not following martial ethics!"
Chen Mu restrained his expression, his face was cold and solemn, he squatted slightly and took a deep breath.
"Jie Jia! If you don't come out, I'll deduct your money!"
hum!
A ball of fluorescent white light suddenly exploded in the air.
A ball of white light, with a long tail of flame, suddenly crashed into the long-haired woman.
The other party was like a wax figure encountering fire, quickly melting, dripping, and deforming in the white light.
Finally, with a shrill scream, it turned to ashes.
The fluorescence shattered into sparks on the spot.
Jiejia put his hands behind his back and walked slowly out from the stars.
He had a blank expression on his face and stared at Chen Mu with his eyes narrowed into slits.
"According to the agreement, I will escort you to Nanyang Prefecture, and you have to give me four hundred taels of silver. You cannot take a penny less." Jie Jia said lightly.
"Four hundred taels? Are you crazy about money?!"
"Didn't we agree on two hundred taels? You raised the price halfway through the trip. Even the black tour guides are not as black as you!" Chen Mu was furious.
"What a pity." Jiejia said disappointedly and turned away.
Chen Mu was confused and moved closer to Jie Jia: "What do you mean?"
"I'm testing whether you are possessed by a ghost." Jie Jia said slowly.
Chen Mu suddenly realized that if he was possessed by a ghost and became mentally disturbed, he would definitely not keep his promise to Jie Jia.
Chen Mu immediately felt something was wrong: "Then why are you so sorry?"
Jie Jia's bright yellow eyes rolled and he glanced at Chen Mu: "If you are really possessed, you might agree to it, and I can earn an extra 200 taels."
Somehow, Chen Mu was not surprised at all.
This is so fucking weird.
……
"Was that a ghost just now? I don't think it's as scary as it's said to be." Chen Mu recalled the situation just now and said puzzledly.
Apart from feeling tightness all over his body and tingling in his scalp, and a slight sense of fear and discomfort in his heart, he actually did not suffer any harm.
Jie Jia looked him up and down and said, "I wonder how you can still be alive after encountering a ghost."
Chen Mu: “…”
"Ordinary people will be trapped in an illusion when encountering a ghost, and there is no chance of survival." Jie Jia looked at Chen Mu in confusion: "Why are you okay?"
Chen Mu also frowned in deep thought, then suddenly realized and looked at Jie Jia and said seriously: "It must be this ghost monster... It's not hungry!"
Jie Jia: “…”
He turned his head and stared at Chen Mu, looking at him expressionlessly.
Chen Mu looked confused and asked tentatively: "Did I... say something wrong?"
Jiejia silently withdrew his gaze. Can you pretend a little more?
Chen Mu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.
Two little paper figures flashed out of Chen Mu's sleeves.
I didn't expect that the Five Ghost Bag could actually restrain the ghost monster.
It’s because of the two little paper figures in the sleeves.
The long-haired girl was afraid to rush up and possess the body.
……
"By the way, that ball of white light is a magical weapon, right?"
"Can you show it to me?"
"I didn't expect you to be so capable."
"You don't know how handsome you were when you appeared just now."
"It's a pity you're such a money-grubber."
"You'd be more handsome if you weren't greedy for money."
"..."
……
The chance encounter with the ghost monster made Chen Mu realize that the Five Ghost Bag might have other uses. But he didn't plan to kill the monster to test it.
With the Gray Wall plug-in, there is no need for him to take the risk.
Miss Cuicui joins, Zhang Ye becomes more and more experienced, and Chen Mu’s food crisis is resolved.
During the rest of the journey, except when he encountered a river, he would let the Five Ghost Bags have a good meal nearby. Otherwise, he would stay near the convoy to practice.
A month later, in the evening.
In a dilapidated temple halfway up the mountain.
Chen Mu built a fire in the side hall and prepared pots, pans, and utensils.
