"Not much! Not at all!" Old man Ding's neck turned red.
Five hundred taels per person, one hundred and seven people...
"I've already made this deal! I'm telling you! Even King Chao can't stop me!"
Chen Mu gave Old Man Ding a thumbs up with admiration: "What a courage!"
……
With difficulty, he politely declined Old Man Ding's invitation to Chunfeng Tower.
Chen Mu watched the other carriage leave with regret.
"I don't know if I can see Miss Yutao again in the future."
After all, after playing the role-playing game, he should leave Nanyang.
Chen Mu turned his head to look at the red lacquer gate of the Wu Camp behind him and took a deep breath: "See you tomorrow."
Immediately turned around and left.
He has to prepare the dyeing potion. If his face isn't black, how can he play the role of Song·Heisabalang·Jiang·Jiang?
……
The night is as cool as water, dispelling the daytime heat.
Taohuafang, the fourth house on Dingyou Street.
After dinner, Chen Mu finished practicing today's Heavenly Snake Form Training Technique as usual.
After fetching a bucket of cool well water to wash himself lightly, Chen Mu walked into the room wearing an open-front sweatshirt.
In the middle of the square table in the room stood a copper incense burner as big as a fist.
Wisps of green smoke rose up, and the insect repellent incense with a faint medicinal smell spread throughout the room.
Under the bright lighting of the oil lamp, Chen Mu looked at the three books of body-building techniques on the table with satisfaction.
"The Shape Training Technique of the Seven-Horned Black Deer", "The Shape Training Technique of the Green Ox", and "The Shape Training Technique of the Black Sheep".
Among the three forms of training, the Xuan Yang Form Training, which has the least variations in breathing techniques, has 206 variations. The other two have as many as 360 variations!
"Fortunately there is no divine intention." Chen Mu thought happily.
If this kind of high-end body-building technique had divine intention, it would have been sealed away and collected by aristocratic families long ago.
After flipping through it twice more, Chen Mu stopped thinking about it.
Black smoke billowed, and the three books were put into the Five Ghosts Bag.
"Don't worry, there are more than ten books waiting for me!"
……
Eighty miles outside Nanyang City, there is a gently sloping hill called Xiulinpo.
On the mountainside, the originally lush forests were cut down and a military camp was built.
Thousands of strong soldiers wearing black clothes and leather armor are stationed here.
Inside the center's main account.
Shangguan Ji sat on the low couch with a pale face.
"Father, here, Zhaodianhong." Shangguan Yu handed Shangguan Ji a porcelain bottle with a worried look on his face.
Since he was a child, Shangguan Ji has always been the best in Nanyang. Unexpectedly, he was beaten and seriously injured this time.
"I underestimated the demon ape that slaughtered the mountain." Shangguan Ji's eyes flashed coldly.
"You broke my protective aura with your armor alone."
"That person might be an illegitimate child of a noble family."
"The blood is thick, and the armor is as hard as spiritual light. The physical strength is long, far beyond that of ordinary people."
"Then if we encounter him when we return to the city..." Shangguan Yu was worried.
Shangguan Ji waved his hand: "It's okay, I was careless this time."
"If we really fight head-on, I can't kill him, and he can't kill me either."
Shangguan Yusong said in a breath: "The mirror is ready. When are we going back to the city?"
"What did the Jinghong Gang say?" Shangguan Ji asked.
"Jin Wuduan said that they were attacked by evil spirits and suffered heavy losses and were unable to help." Shangguan Yu frowned.
"Old fox." Shangguan Ji curled his lips.
"No hurry, wait a moment."
Shangguan Yu was puzzled: "What are you waiting for?"
Shangguan Ji chuckled: "Wait for Chao Fang to help us clean up Nanyang City."
Shangguan Yu's eyes lit up: "Are you going to use Chao Fang to clean up all the disobedient forces and families?"
"Blank paper is good for painting." Shangguan Ji said meaningfully.
"Father is brilliant!"
……
The next day, Chen Mu came to the inner courtyard library with the sullen face of Xiaoyi Heisaburo.
Xing Laoliu, the person registering at the door, was not there. He was replaced by a dull and honest middle-aged man.
Just like the previous three days, after registering his name, team affiliation, and visiting time, Chen Mu walked into the library with familiarity.
This time he didn't rush to the second floor to copy the form practice techniques.
Anyway, the three best books are already in the Five Ghosts’ bag.
Chen Mu walked to the row of medical books and poison books.
Because of pharmaceutical technology, he was quite interested in this kind of books.
I was busy acquiring the Form Training Technique before and had no time to pay attention to it. Now is a good time to read it.
He had asked before, and was told that he could take away the books on the first floor of the library as long as he paid enough money.
"Soup"? I've seen it.
"Zhengti Leiyao"? It's in the Five Ghosts' bag.
"Bone Reading and Face Reading"? I don't read faces for people.
"Author: Xing Ming. Xing?" Could it be the ancestor of that thin and dark old man?
Chen Mu couldn't help but look at two more things.
"As for human bones, they are born with nature and are formed later in life. Their shape is rational and their flesh and skin are similar..."
Chen Mu watched with great interest for a while.
"Xing Laoliu is really good at judging people and their bones." Chen Mu sighed.
It also introduced several drugs that could change one's appearance. With the fourth-level medicine making technique, he understood it at a glance.
"Cutting bones and filling flesh? Cut the skin open and let poisonous insects eat the bones; apply ointment and let flesh grow? How cruel!" Chen Mu couldn't help but take a closer look.
The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.
"How come the effect is almost the same as my second-level shapeshifting technique?"
After thinking about it carefully, I couldn't help but laugh: "It really looks like it!"
He couldn't laugh anymore after laughing for a while: "Xing Laoliu, look at people... at their bones?!"
Isn’t this the end?
How the hell am I supposed to play the role of one hundred and eight generals!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 125 Exposed
"The plan has failed." Chen Mu sighed.
"I'm really not suitable for lurking."
Black smoke rolled out of the palm of his hand, and "Bone Reading and Face Checking" disappeared.
He turned around and glanced at Old Man Ding and the other man who were chatting at the door.
He looked up again in the direction of the spiral staircase.
Chen Mu silently placed his hand on the bookshelf, and billowing black smoke quietly filled the air.
Half an hour later, Chen Mu left in a hurry with a dark face.
There were dozens of medical books, poison books, and sword and knife secrets in the Five Ghosts' bag.
At the gate of the Wuziying garrison.
"Brother Song, call your brothers and let's go to Chunfeng Tower to have fun together." Old man Ding smiled happily.
"I won't disturb your leisure time. You can go and enjoy yourself."
After all, if you don’t be carefree now, you may never have the chance to be carefree again.
After seeing off the cheerful Old Man Ding, Chen Mu turned around to take a look at the vermilion lacquered gate.
"It seems we are not meant to be together."
After what happened to Xing Laoliu, he didn't dare stay in the inner city military camp.
It's okay now, but what if someone finds out?
"Level 3 Shapeshifting is still not enough."
……
In the evening, in the inner city prefectural government office, in the clerk's office cubicle next to the storehouse.
