"We can't miss out on key information just for a few pieces of silver."
"I just don't know if I can still get sincerity." Chen Mu narrowed his eyes.
Black smoke filled the palm of his right hand, and an ancient copper bell appeared in his hand.
Last night he took the lead in launching the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains attack to show his sincerity.
Not only did he successfully cut off one of his arms, but he also took away the Wuxin Bell.
"How did my predecessor die?" A mystery that has troubled Chen Mu for a long time once again surfaced in his mind.
Cuicui, Bai Miaojin, Qingfeng Temple, Fengnian, Chengyi, and artificially cultivated ghosts...
Chen Mu murmured softly, already having a rough guess in his mind.
"Have you become a victim of the ghost cultivation in Qingfeng Temple?"
"No wonder Chengyi has always been wary of me." Chen Mu thought calmly.
A person who is possessed by a ghost and should have become stupid suddenly returns to normal. This is the biggest abnormality.
"He probably really thought that I was possessed by a ghost. Haha..."
"In a sense, he was right."
"I'm glad that my sincerity was still immature and I had my guard up. If I were as cruel and ruthless as I am now..."
Chen Mu turned around and looked towards Qingshan County.
Qingshan County, which was bustling not long ago, has once again become an empty town and a ghost town.
"It's a Feng Shui treasured place..." He didn't want to come again.
……
On the wide streets, dead bodies with terrified faces were lying everywhere.
Black bloodstains were scattered all over the streets.
"What on earth is going on?" Zhang Ye and the other two looked at everything in bewilderment.
Last night they fled the cellar in panic, but were frightened back by the terrifying screams outside.
I hid in the tunnel all night in fear, and only when it was bright and quiet outside did I dare to crawl out.
"Boss... they're all dead!" Zhen Fan's face was pale and he was trembling.
Even the rough man Kuituo was frightened.
Zhang Ye looked around. The quiet Qingshan County was so familiar to him, but at this moment it seemed so strange that he was confused.
In just one night, a large number of living people died suddenly.
The sun was high in the sky, but Zhang Ye felt a chill all over his body.
"Empty city, ghost town, once again..."
"Qingshan County...what happened?" For a moment, Zhang Ye felt fear and a sense of sadness for no apparent reason.
……
Outside Jian'an Gate in the east of Nanyang City.
Chen Mu looked at the familiar city wall and felt as if he were in another world.
"Now that we're here, it's time for us to go our separate ways." Chen Mu turned around and said to the three dusty people.
"You have suffered heavy losses during this trip northwards."
"Take more tonic medicine when you go back."
The Yin Ming silk still remains in the bodies of the three people.
But it seems to be dormant, without the crazy growth it had in Qingshan County.
"This is probably the normal state." After traveling together for more than a month, Chen Mu had observed the situations of several people many times.
The dormant Yinming silk grows slowly and can help the three people strengthen their physical fitness.
"As long as it's not extracted, it can be considered a blessing in disguise." However, the lifespan lost due to the extraction of vital energy is probably irrecoverable.
"Da Wang, what are your plans for the future?" Sun Enqi asked carefully after hesitating for a while.
Chen Mu smiled at this nominal seventh uncle. After spending so much time together, this seventh uncle probably saw something. As they traveled south, they became more cautious.
Chen Mu thought about it and suggested, "Let's find a place where no one knows us and hide our identities."
"After all, so many people went north, and only a few of us came back. The Shangguan family probably won't let this go."
"Are all those people who went to Qingshan County really dead?" Zheng Yuan asked with lingering fear.
"I'm not sure, but I'm afraid there are not many alive." Chen Mu shrugged.
"Take care, everyone." Chen Mu smiled, turned and walked into the city gate.
His face shape and height changed with every step, and he disappeared in the crowd in the blink of an eye.
"Am I seeing things?" Zheng Liu, a thin fireman who was missing his wife, rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion.
Zheng Yuan and Sun Enqi smiled at each other and said, "You are mistaken."

Chapter 169 Chapter Labor
Nanyang Prefecture City, Chen’s House in Jingxingfang.
At noon, Chen Mu slowly opened his eyes.
Have a good night's sleep and feel relaxed all over!
In the yard, under the newly renovated thatched shed, Chen Mu placed breakfast and lunch on the square table.
The table was filled with rice rolls, spring rolls, fried dumplings, Lao Qi's pies, braised beef, pickled beans, cold seasonal vegetables, and medicinal meat porridge.
Chen Mu bit off half of the pie in one bite, and the fresh and salty meat filling spread in his mouth. The rich taste made Chen Mu squint his eyes. Then he took another bite and stuffed the whole pie into his mouth.
"good to eat!"
He has been back in Nanyang City for eight days.
He did nothing these days. Every day he either thought about food or went to brothels to listen to music. He didn't contact Jiejia, and he didn't pay much attention to his proficiency.
After traveling north for several months and encountering so many things, he felt as if he were in another world when he returned to Nanyang Prefecture.
"I'm still not used to that kind of exciting life."
After eating and drinking, the air was filled with black smoke, and the Wuguidai brand home appliances were put online. It didn't take long to clean up.
Chen Mu lay comfortably in the rocking chair under the pavilion.
There is also a soul-fixing stake next to it.
"Be careful, King Chao won't come again."
Just like once you use the air conditioner, you can't stop it all summer long regardless of whether it rains or not, Chen Mu was reluctant to throw away the soul-fixing stake.
It’s too hot in the south of Daliang.
Although it is immune to cold and heat, it can only be tolerated. It will still be hot when it is hot.
"I'm not afraid of him even if he comes."
After all, Chen Mu is no longer the timid little scholar.
Seven kinds of body-training techniques and the seventh-level Five Ghosts Moving Mountains gave him enough courage to face Chao Fang.
"Use it first, and then find a way to block it later." Chen Mu made up his mind.
……
"Thousand Machine Order." Chen Mu's gaze was fixed on the Five Ghosts Bag.
Since obtaining the jade gourd, he rarely takes it out.
"It is very likely that there is a special method of sensing it."
Previously in Lijiang Weicheng, I encountered several battles between Jiapo masters. All of them were for the Qianji Order.
Chen Mu looked at the crystal jade gourd with a complicated expression. Its origin really made Chen Mu unhappy.
Daliang was established for more than 600 years, and there were riots every hundred years or so.
Every time there is a riot, there is a Thousand Machine Order.
The connection here is terrifying when you think about it carefully!
"Is it only Daliang that is in such a mess, or is it the same everywhere in the world?"
He suddenly didn't want to go overseas anymore.
With his current strength, although not at the top, it would be easy for him to roam freely in Daliang.
but……
After staying at home for too long in a comfortable and carefree life, you can't help but go out for a walk.
Even if he likes a comfortable life, he will get bored sooner or later.
It will probably be another hundred years before the next Thousand Machine Order appears.
"It would be fine if there was no proficiency cheat."
"After all, I am unwilling to give up. Sooner or later, I have to step out of my comfort zone."
……
Three days later, in the evening.
Chen Mu cooked a table full of dishes.
Jiejia arrived at the courtyard on time.
Seeing the delicious food on the table, his eyelids, which had been narrowed into slits, suddenly lifted up a little.
"Ask." Jiejia was still so concise.
