"Hmm... today should really be the last day. This old man is probably going to go north as well."
"I don't know if I can see you again in the future." Chen Mu thought with regret.
It would be really hard for ordinary people to survive if they encountered ghosts and monsters.

Chapter 108: Warding off evil spirits
In Tongyunfang, inside Ge Lao's house, the light was as small as a bean.
Mr. Ge sat at the desk with a grim look on his face. A small porcelain bottle was placed in front of him.
The bottle was empty... He couldn't help it.
The feeling of a sudden increase in strength is too tempting.
"Forget it. The White Jade Toad's shape-changing technique is still there, and I got two Dragon Transformation Pills for free. I should be content!" Old Ge comforted himself with an unwilling look on his face.
After frowning and thinking for a long time, Mr. Ge finally gritted his teeth.
"I just can't accept it!"
He suddenly stood up, turned around, dug out the hollow brick from the wall, and took out two scrolls from it.
He placed one of the scrolls on the desk and opened it. Old Ge's brows were twisted into a shape of a "川" (川) character. He endured it again and again, and finally spoke to the air.
"Ahem, I am seventy-five years old this year, and I have mastered the body shape training. This Heavenly Snake Body Shape Training Technique has played an indispensable role in my cultivation."
"This method is simple and easy to use, and has great explosive power. It is a rare and wonderful method."
"I am old now and I need to think about my descendants. It would be great if someone could buy this book on form training."
Ge Qinghui boasted for a while, and after waiting for a long time, he couldn't help but add something.
"I don't want much, just two Dragon Transformation Pills!"
There was a silence in the room, broken only by the occasional crackle of the candlelight.
"Master, why don't you just give me one? No no, half a pill will do!"
Mr. Ge bowed to the air with a flattering look on his face, just like a salesman in a suit and tie in his previous life.
Chen Mu squatting on the big banyan tree: "..."
What the hell is this unfolding?!
"Is it a fraud?!" Chen Muxin immediately raised it.
The ghost paper figures attacked everywhere, seeing the surroundings clearly.
"No trap?" Chen Mu wondered.
"Do you want to go and have a look?" He was in need of some form-training skills.
"Forget it, let's talk about it later." Chen Mu shook his head and rejected it: "Don't fall into an unknown trap."
He just kept watching Old Man Ge's performance until he blew out the lights and went to sleep in disappointment.
"Does he really want to sell the form-training technique?" Chen Mu felt that the other party was not faking it.
"No, don't rush!"
……
Southwest of Nanyang Prefecture.
The prefectural government offices and major families all gathered here.
There is also a separate circle of city walls built outside, on which soldiers patrol from time to time.
The residents of Nanyang Prefecture called this place the Inner City, and those who lived there were either rich or noble.
Inner city, east city, Bai Mansion.
The outside is made of gray bricks and yellow tiles, and inside there are pavilions and towers, surrounded by rockery and running water, and dotted with green and red flowers and plants.
Bai Miaojun wore a bright red gown on the left half of her body, and a dark green gown on the right half. In front of her was a huge bronze mirror as tall as a person, which she would turn left and right from time to time to check.
“The red one is elegant, the green one is eye-catching, ahhh…which one should I wear?”
"Master, the time is almost up, let's go." A pretty maid behind him looked at the young master who was more handsome than herself with helplessness on her face.
"So fast? Come on, Xiaohuan, tell me which one looks better." Bai Miaojun asked hurriedly.
Xiaohuan's face twitched. Both pieces look good, but you shouldn't wear either of them!
Although they are all scholar's gowns, the colors and embroidery are more colorful than each other. These are not the clothes that young masters should wear.
But when she turned around and glanced at the colorful clothes hanging on the hangers, Xiaohuan's eyelids twitched and she said helplessly, "Red."
At least this one looks a little more masculine.
"Really?" Bai Miaojun was suspicious: "Why do I think green looks better?"
"I think you're itching!" A deep and powerful voice suddenly exploded in the room.
boom!
A hand as big as a palm-leaf fan pierced through the bronze mirror and covered Bai Miaojun's face.
A two-meter-tall and imposing figure with arms as strong as iron pillars suddenly appeared behind the bronze mirror.
He grabbed the bronze mirror on his right arm with his left hand and tore it into pieces with a single snap.
"Bai Xiaoer! I'll give you another quarter of an hour. If you delay, the bronze mirror will be your fate."
The sturdy figure's left hand suddenly turned black, and after a while of rubbing, the bronze mirror fragment in his hand suddenly turned into a red copper ball.
"Miss!" Xiaohuan trembled all over and immediately greeted loudly and tremblingly.
"Bai Miaojin! Let go! Let go! Let me go!" Bai Miaojun's two white and tender hands slapped Bai Miaojin's arms.
Then he successfully clapped his hands until they turned red.
"This time we are going to Lijiang City with the Shangguan family. If you dare to wear those fancy clothes, I will strip you naked and throw you into the Luohe River!" Bai Miaojin whispered in her brother's ear.
Bai Miaojun's whole body suddenly stiffened.
"Find him some decent clothes!" Bai Miaojin looked at Xiaohuan and ordered.
Then he threw Bai Miaojun onto the couch like a rag doll, turned around and strode away.
My shoulder accidentally hit the door frame.
Click!
Half of the door was knocked off immediately.
Xiaohuan was startled and turned to look at her young master with sympathy.
……
For three consecutive days, Chen Mu went to watch Old Man Ge every night.
This guy is also persistent. As soon as it gets dark, he starts bragging about himself.
I was unfamiliar with it at first, but I became proficient after a few days. It was just like performing a stand-up comedy, just speaking into the air.
On this day, Mr. Ge was spitting all over the place.
My vision suddenly became blurry and my limbs became weak as if I was drunk.
He was not surprised but delighted: "You really came?!"
boom!
Before he could get into position, he slammed his head on the desk.
Then a ball of red mist exploded between its mouth and nose.
The fog lingered for a long time, lasting half an hour before completely disappearing.
A cloud of black smoke appeared on the desk.
The scroll disappeared in the blink of an eye.
An egg-sized white porcelain vase took its place, standing quietly on the table.
After obtaining the shape-training scroll, Chen Mu turned and left.
He changed his route many times, his clothes and face, and even found an abandoned house to re-copy the scrolls. The original version was directly thrown into the Luohe River.
After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, he finally quietly returned home.
In the dead of night, Chen Mu lit the oil lamp and couldn't wait to look through the Heavenly Snake Form Training Technique.
"It's not as good as the White Jade Toad, but stronger than the Red Falcon and White Tiger. This deal is worth it." Chen Mu happily put away his shape-training technique.
There was no use for him to keep the Dragon Transformation Pill, so at most he could let Jie Jia sell it for money.
"I still underestimated the temptation of the Dragon Transformation Pill to the people in the martial arts world." Chen Mu sighed.
Now, he has five kinds of body training techniques in his hands!
"I'm so worried. I can't keep up with the training. Haha..."
……
Inner city, north of the city.
The backyard of Shangguan’s house.
Shangguan Ji was dressed in a black robe with gold thread. He looked to be in his forties, with an elegant appearance and a gentle temperament.
No one would have thought that this teacher-like man was actually the best master in Nanyang Prefecture.
At this moment he was sitting in the pavilion sipping tea leisurely.
"Father, mother and sister have already joined the Bai family and are on the boat to Lijiang City." A young man in his twenties entered the pavilion.
The other person was wearing a black base coat and a dark brown leather armor on top. He had a handsome face and looked a bit like Shangguan Ji.
This person is none other than the eldest son of the Shangguan family, the commander of the Tangshan Camp, Shangguan Yu.
"It's close to Shouyang Mountain, evil spirits dare not cause trouble, it's safe." Shangguan Ji said easily.
