Wu Yin's face turned dark at that moment. He took several deep breaths before nodding resentfully.
"Give me that bronze drop of water, is that okay?" Chen Mu continued.
That thing can sense the Heartless Bell, so it must come over.
Wu Yin's face changed, but after looking at his grandson, he gritted his teeth and said, "Give it to me!"
"And..." Chen Mu looked at the little fat boy thoughtfully.
"Don't go too far!" Wu Yin's neck suddenly turned red.
Oh hoo!
Chen Mu glanced at Wu Yin, then looked at the little fat boy.
"This...isn't this also a Taoist bone?!"
Qingfeng Temple is really good! This pair of brothers actually found two Dao bones that are so hard to find!
Chen Mu's mouth curled up slightly: "Uncle Master, I almost lost my life. Give me ten or eight white jade spirit coins, no problem, right?"
Wu Yin immediately held his breath in his chest.
Do you think that's cabbage?

Chapter 173 Shouyang Mountain
Shouyang Mountain is located a hundred miles east of Lijiang City and is part of the Yiling Mountains in the southeast of Daliang.
The Yiling Mountains are long and narrow, starting in the southwest, along the edge of the East China Sea, and spreading all the way to the northeast.
Shouyang Mountain is the southernmost tip of the mountain range.
The west side has a gentle slope and is covered with lush greenery, while the east side is close to the sea, but has a vertical cliff face.
Chen Mu stood on the edge of the cliff and looked around.
The surface of the cliff is as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been cut by a knife or an axe, with only a few green plants poking out from the cracks in the rocks.
"Could it be dug by humans?" Chen Mu was shocked.
I leaned over and looked down. The sea was calm and blue, and I didn't know how deep it was.
"Natural harbor?" Chen Mu understood.
The cliffs and deep sea are suitable for large ships to dock: "No wonder we come to Shouyang Mountain."
Chen Mu observed for a moment, then turned and walked into the lush green forest.
A five-meter-long cliff with an inclination of about 60 degrees stands in the forest.
A huge gray and white tent was set up underneath.
"It's good to have many skills." Chen Mu looked at the tent he built with satisfaction.
This was a skill he learned from his fellow firemen when he went north to Qingshan County.
Chen Mu has been here for five days. After solving the witch seal incident, he immediately left Lijiang City. He took all the supplies and equipment and lived in seclusion on Shouyang Mountain.
"You guys fight yours, and I'll live mine in peace." Chen Mu thought leisurely.
The aristocratic family has occupied Daliang for many years. Relying on bloodline and knowledge monopoly, they have continuously plundered the world's resources and have long developed into a monster.
The Thousand Machine Order appears once every hundred years, and Chen Mu doesn't believe that the aristocratic families will remain indifferent.
"Struggle is inevitable." Chen Mu sighed.
Fortunately, most of the fighting was concentrated in Lijiang City and Nanyang Prefecture City.
The wilderness is a blind spot for these people.
"I just have to wait patiently until the big ship arrives, and everything will be settled."
You can avoid trouble and improve your proficiency with peace of mind.
"Isn't this stable?" Chen Mu was excited.
……
On the south side of the tilted boulder, Chen Mu cut down trees and cleared a piece of open space.
Several wooden shelves were placed in the sun.
Long wooden molds with spherical pits are neatly arranged.
Inside are 3.0 version of the Bigu Pills, each the size of a ping-pong ball.
"Two hundred and forty pills. Eat them sparingly to ensure basic nutrition. These are enough for me to eat for a year." Chen Mu calculated.
Since it is a large-scale pick-up and drop-off operation, eating on board should not be a problem.
But...what if there is not enough food; what if the ship is destroyed by wind and waves; what if we are stranded on a desert island.
As he thought about it, Chen Mu frowned slightly.
"Prepare another 1420 2.0 version of the Bigu Pills."
"That would give us about two years' worth of food reserves."
"Well, let's prepare three... five more portions of Qingfeng Powder, Lingsha Pills, and Mishen Smoke."
"Old Wu is a very kind person."
Without his contribution of money and materials, he wouldn't dare to stockpile supplies like this.
"It's a pity that the Five Ghosts Bag is a little small." Chen Mu regretted.
"There should be bigger ones overseas." Chen Mu pondered.
"If only Old Man Wu could be more generous." Chen Mu thought regretfully.
After some bargaining, he finally took out three white jade coins.
“I don’t know what the prices are like overseas.”
"Forget it. There's no point in thinking too much. I'd better just focus on brushing my hidden blade."
……
Shouyang Mountain is covered with lush vegetation and verdant greenery.
A dark shadow flashed through the dense forest, followed by a strong wind, and the leaves swayed in panic. It took a long time to calm down.
Tu Shan's movements were as fast as lightning. The vegetation-covered hillside was rugged and difficult to walk on, but he was as nimble as a flying swallow, leaping hundreds of meters in a few leaps. Soon he climbed up a small peak on Shouyang Mountain.
Standing on the top of the mountain and looking south, you can vaguely see the top of Shouyang Mountain, where there is an artificially excavated platform with a palace on it.
There was a bustling flow of people cleaning and building.
"A bunch of lackeys from the aristocratic families!" Tu Shan snorted coldly. They must be welcoming the overseas visitors.
"There are too many masters. Otherwise, it would be great if we could hide in this palace for a month or two with food and water." Tu Shan stared for a long time and said regretfully.
“Forget it. It’s not like I haven’t slept in the wilderness before.” Tu Shan shook his head. Back then, he hadn’t mastered martial arts and was hunted down by the noble families everywhere. He had gone through all kinds of hardships.
"It's important to go to sea."
Tushanzhan searched on the top of the mountain: "We need to find a place that is sheltered from the wind and rain and close to water."
As he looked, a wisp of green smoke came into view and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Smoke?"
"Hide here and wait for the big ship?"
"Smart!" Tu Shan grinned.
"Food and lodging are here!"
……
At noon, Chen Mu quickly cut up and marinated a wild deer, then slowly roasted it on a grill carved out of stone.
During the trip north, his barbecue skills improved greatly.
The depth of the oven, the size of the iron frame mesh, the temperature control of the charcoal flame, etc. are all well controlled. With the secret seasoning, the aroma spreads ten miles away.
Chen Mu sniffed and nodded with satisfaction.
"The meat is well roasted." Tu Shan strode over following the smell.
"The tent is set up quite well." Tu Shan looked at the camping environment and became more and more satisfied.
"Do you know why I'm here?" Tu Shan grinned and said happily.
"A rough guess." Chen Mu looked at Tu Shan calmly.
"The tent belongs to me. You stay and cook for me. Any objection?" Tu Shan smiled even more happily.
"Aren't you afraid that I will poison you to death?" Chen Mu said calmly.
Tu Shan: “…”
"You've enlightened me." Tu Shan suddenly realized something and looked at Chen Mu with gratitude: "It's better to cut the grass and root it out without leaving any hidden dangers."
Almost in the next moment, Tu Shan suddenly appeared in front of Chen Mu, wrapped in white airflow.
He clenched his right fist and twisted his body backward, with his muscles tangled and swollen, like a bronze or iron statue.
Woo!
The fist smashed down like a black iron hammer, hitting Chen Mu's head hard.
Just as Chen Mu’s head was about to be smashed with a punch, a black dagger appeared silently in front of Tu Shan’s chest.
Tu Shan's face was ferocious. His right fist remained in motion while the five fingers of his left hand gathered together like an eagle's claws, suddenly reaching out for the snake-like dagger.
He was gifted with extraordinary talents, and when he was young he was hunted down by aristocratic families one after another, so he had perfect martial arts skills.
If you throw a basin of water at him, he can just swat it all away with his hands! He really can't splash water!
"Magic weapons? I have at least eighty magical weapons in my hand!"
But the next moment, the grasp that seemed almost certain to be successful suddenly fell into empty space.
