The thin old man's pupils suddenly shrank.
"Five ghosts moving a mountain!"
puff!
Drops of blood splattered, and the thin old man disappeared into thin air.
Chen Mu opened his eyes indifferently, looked at the bloodstains on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm still not satisfied with being 1.2 meters tall."
"It wasn't me who killed you, it was greed!"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 145 Trouble
Catch the three-legged incense burner with his left hand and grab the gold-threaded white jade ring with his right hand.
Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh: "It's troublesome."
Even if the person is dead, he can still contact the core personnel of Yinmingsi. It will definitely cause a stir.
Chen Mu looked at the object in his hand: "Two troublesome things."
The jade ring is ordinary, just like an ordinary ornament.
The incense burner was filled with green fluorescent liquid, and a ball of black Yinming silk was slowly floating in it.
Chen Mu looked for a long time but didn't find the unique 1.2-meter-long one.
"They can actually merge into one?!"
It can grow, divide, and fuse.
"Yinming silk is leek, and the civilian camp is the leek field." Chen Mu understood it in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring.
"It won't be seen in the light for a short time."
With a flip of his hand, the incense burner and jade ring disappeared.
The nine people who were standing upright in the tent suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.
……
Chen Mu also lay back on the floor.
Five paper ghost figures crawled out of the tent.
After flying into the air, it immediately turned into a ghost and scattered into the camp.
"Fortunately, the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains Curse has broken through the seventh level." The five ghosts in the form of ghosts have broken through the limitations of paper figures and combined with the Soul-Locking Curse to greatly extend the reconnaissance distance.
On the Crescent Lake, the bright moonlight shines on the camp, and the huge camp is quiet. The patrol personnel who used to patrol at designated locations have disappeared.
The five ghosts were floating in mid-air, invisible, and soon they spotted several men in black who looked like skinny old men.
A black hooded cloak, a three-legged incense burner that flashes green fluorescence, and a gold-threaded white jade ring that occasionally makes a tinkling sound.
"Everyone has a fixed partition?" Chen Mu distinguished carefully.
It was discovered that each man in black was responsible for a fairly large area.
And they all acted alone, without any companions.
Chen Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "The area is large, so it won't be directly targeted."
"If he acts alone, no one will know the old man's movements."
After thinking about it, Chen Mu summoned a ghost with the word "Autumn".
Let it grab the copper incense burner, the white jade ring, and a piece of cloak dropped by the old man, and walk around the camp.
He would also sneak into some tents from time to time.
Whenever the incense burner approached the laborers' tent, dark threads would flow into it.
It didn't take long to go through the section belonging to the thin old man.
At the same time, a Yinming silk thread several tens of meters long was harvested.
"Now, even if someone follows the scent, they will never find me." Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
The more you do, the more mistakes you make, so Chen Mu didn't dare to move anymore.
He took back the paper figures and left only one attached to the top of the tent, quietly monitoring the surroundings.
……
Late in the night, a dozen dark shadows rushed into the civilian camp.
"Father, the Yinming silk has been taken away. There are no signs of a fight. Something has happened to my fifth uncle, he should be outside the camp." Shangguan Yu frowned.
"Try the Wuding Ring." Shangguan Ji was unmoved.
Shangguan Yu hesitated for a moment, raised his right hand, revealing the gold-threaded white jade ring on his wrist, and then quickly recited the spell.
buzzing...
A light sound like a flying mosquito came from the white jade ring.
"It seems to be here, but it also seems not to be here." Shangguan Yu was puzzled.
"It's right here." Shangguan Ji narrowed his eyes and looked at the quiet camp.
"It can block the Wuding Ring. I wonder which rat it is."
"Starting from tomorrow, check twice a day and turn the Dingzi camp upside down." Shangguan Ji said calmly.
"The other party is very likely from another family, and he is probably very powerful." Shangguan Yu hesitated.
"It doesn't matter. Just scare him out." Shangguan Ji waved his hand and said, "From now on, we will collect Yinming silk in groups of three and not alone."
"Yes!" More than ten people around him bowed and accepted the order.
"Yu'er, take your men to ambush outside. Arrest all suspicious people. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."
"Yes." Shangguan Yu nodded solemnly.
"Niece Bai, I'd like to trouble you to help Yu'er to clear the battlefield." Shangguan Ji turned around and said gently to the majestic figure standing behind them.
"Okay." Bai Miaojin said calmly.
Some people came quickly and left quickly.
Only five or six men in black were left, hiding their bodies and guarding outside the Dingzi group of civilians.
Bai Miaojin also stayed.
"Dingzi Division? Sun Dawang seems to be in the Dingzi Division. Did he do this?"
At some point, a girl in an emerald green dress appeared out of nowhere beside Bai Miaojin.
"Don't cause trouble." Bai Miaojin said calmly.
Cuicui smiled and said, "Don't cause any trouble, hehe..."
……
The thin old man is missing.
It caused some fluctuations, but nothing seemed to change.
Apart from checking the iron bracelet twice a day, morning and evening, nothing else has changed.
The Tangshan army still went into the mountains to capture ghosts for training.
The civilian workers in the camp still work, eat and grow leeks.
In the afternoon, after dinner, the Dingyou Camp firefighters lined up and went to the center of the camp for inspection.
Chen Mu stuffed a fasting pill into his mouth, maintained the Yun Shen breathing method, and moved forward slowly with the team.
Snapped!
A short, dull sound came from Chen Mu's chest.
The rhythm that had just been adjusted was disrupted.
Chen Mu's mouth twitched.
Zheng Yuanman looked back doubtfully.
Chen Mu raised his hand and slapped his chest, knocking out the silver fish he had just caught last night, and then said calmly, "Itchy."
"Why do you feel itchy every time you queue?" Shorty wondered.
Chen Mu's eyelids twitched. I don't want to do that either.
Who knew Yin Mingsi would be so overbearing.
The dying silver fish immediately became full of life once it was parasitized.
"Why does it smell like fish?" The shorty looked at Chen Mu with something strange in his eyes.
"Did you sneak out again?!" Zheng Yuan was shocked.
Checking every day and patrolling at all times, the T-shaped supervision can be like a net under the ground and in the sky!
But even with this, the other party can still sneak out and catch fish?
Da Wang is a capable man!
"That's not right. We are together every day, and I haven't seen you go out." Shorty asked in confusion.
Of course I didn’t go out, it was the paper ghost that went out.
"I'll treat you to dried fish tonight." Chen Mu said lightly.
"Okay!" Shorty smiled immediately and didn't ask anything.
……
The searches continued for five consecutive days and even showed signs of becoming a normal practice.
Dingyou Camp was quiet late at night.
