……
Retracting his gaze, Chen Mu strolled to the No. 9 Longmen Warehouse Area in the Gengzi District as usual.
He walked into small warehouse No. 67 and separated out six or seven hundred kilograms of yellow sprout rice. He spent a quarter of an hour absorbing the essence of the grains, and then replaced some new lime powder to absorb the moisture in the warehouse.
Chen Mu closed the door, locked it, and left the warehouse area.
This is one of his daily activities lately.
"I'll stop after two more batches." Chen Mu thought to himself.
If you are not proficient enough in the Five Elements Breathing Method, it would be a waste to practice it too much.
The essence of grains we consume nowadays is mostly stored as reserve food.
……
Gengzi District is the gateway to Tianhe Water Palace, with frequent boat traffic and dense flow of people, which gave rise to a large number of shops.
Compared with the prosperous and exquisite Dingzi District, any consumption must be settled with white jade coins.
The streets here are more rough and down-to-earth, and gold, silver and jade can all be traded.
I found a fish ball shop and ordered a bowl of fish balls.
Remove the skin and bones from the fish meat, and mash it into large walnut balls.
Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until done. Pour into a washbasin-sized black pottery basin and top it with some green vegetables. It is fresh, fragrant and filling.
After eating and drinking his fill, Chen Mu left behind two golden beads the size of soybeans, then stood up and walked into a shop diagonally opposite.
Behind the counter, a fat man with small eyes was dozing off out of boredom.
……
"Insect repellent incense?" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows as he looked at the shelf on the right side of the store.
Shang Huan stood up and said with a smile: "It's an insect repellent incense."
"Wild cultivators spend years in the mountains hunting exotic animals, so they can't do without this thing."
Then he took out a gray cloth bag from under the counter and handed it to Chen Mu with a wink: "Yours."
Chen Mu reached out to take it and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
There are at least a hundred white jades in this bag.
"Back when I was at Pengyue Mountain, I had to cover my face when delivering goods, but now I dare to sell them so blatantly..."
Mu Linglang is also involved here.
Anyone with an eye would know that it was Shang Huan who sold Mu Linglang and Yinlingjiang.
"Don't be afraid." Shang Huan chuckled: "Isn't this the way to get in touch with Young Supervisor Liang?"
"In the eyes of outsiders, I am now Senior Brother Mo's confidant. Senior Brother Mo is a close friend of Young Supervisor Liang, so I can also be considered Young Supervisor Liang's man." Shang Huan was very proud.
Chen Mu suddenly realized.
That’s right, with Liang Yi as my backer.
There is indeed no need to be as cautious as we were on Mount Pengyue.
After figuring it out, Chen Mu happily put away the white jade money.
He also didn't expect that the incense he casually made to drive away poisonous insects in the mountains could continue to bring him profits!
It was quite a surprise.
After chatting for a few more words, Chen Mu left. He wanted to go back and continue to gain experience.
……
Two streets away, on the top floor of a three-story wooden building.
Two sturdy men were sitting by the half-propped wooden window.
Under the window was a long brown table, on which was a plate of browned roasted pine nuts and a small black pottery wine bottle.
Each of them took a white porcelain wine cup, cracked pine nuts, and drank with relish.
"We've been watching him for six days, right?"
"Who is this fat guy?"
On the left side of the window, a man with dark, pitted skin and a face full of flesh tilted his head slightly and glanced sideways at a street shop not far away through the bottom edge of the half-open window.
The man on the right had a round, thin face and a greasy forehead. He chuckled when he heard this.
"You know?" The dark-faced, fleshy man glared at the other person.
"About seven or eight days ago, Zhang Duguan arrested a disciple from the lower courtyard of Jilong Dao."
"I was there during the torture."
"Don't be fooled by this fat guy's greasy face. He actually has a powerful background." Broad Forehead pinched a pine nut and threw it into his mouth.
"He is Liang Yi's subordinate and Mo Wuzhou's confidant!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Just catch it!" The black-faced man was full of excitement.
"Of course he is waiting for his accomplices." The man with broad forehead gave the black-faced man a white look.
"Is Zhang Duguan going to kill all the fat man's relatives and friends?" The dark-faced man suddenly realized.
"What do you think we are doing here?" The man with the broad forehead squinted at him and pointed at his head: "I remember all the people this fat guy has been in contact with recently!"
"For example, the person I just left."
"What's so special about that person?" the black-faced man was puzzled.
"Hehe..." The man with a broad forehead took a sip of wine happily, put the empty wine cup on the table, and said nothing.
"Hey!" The black-faced man pointed his finger at the other person's broad forehead, but finally filled the other person's glass of wine.
"Tell me quickly, what's so special about that person!"
The man with a broad forehead picked up the wine glass contentedly, put it to his nose and slowly smelled the wine, then he started to raise his voice.
"I'll pay for tomorrow's drinks, so tell me now." The black-faced man glared at the other man.
"Yes, tell me quickly, I'm also curious about what's so special about that person." A deep voice suddenly sounded in the room.
The two men turned their heads suddenly.
Suddenly, a man with a white mask on his face and a black hooded cloak appeared in the room.
The other person was surrounded by black smoke and his eyes were calm and indifferent.
The two of them just took one look at each other and their hair stood on end involuntarily!
run!
This thought flashed through my mind at the same time.
The two of them jumped out of the window.
Being in mid-air, they looked at each other, feeling surprised and doubtful, yet also relieved.
As long as they jump out of the window, they have a chance to escape.
The next moment, thick black and white hairs grew on their cheeks, and their leg muscles suddenly became engorged with blood, and their pants were torn apart. Once they landed, they could escape in different directions in an instant.
My toes were about to touch the green tile eaves of the second floor.
An invisible force descended from the sky.
As if the stop button was pressed, the two people who were falling rapidly suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the two were sucked back into the room on the third floor at a speed faster than jumping out of the window.
boom!
The bamboo poles supporting the wooden window fell to the ground, and the window covered with thick white paper suddenly closed.
The three-story wooden building suddenly became silent.
……
"Fortunately..." Inside the wooden building, Chen Mu looked relieved.
Fortunately, he has the habit of driving his Di Ting Fa car when shopping.
The original intention was to collect as much information about Tianhe Water Palace as possible.
I never expected to hear someone monitoring Shang Huan.
He originally thought that it was the local forces that were coveting the wealth.
But these two people...
Chen Mu looked at the figures with thick thighs, slender calves, and thick black and white hair on the backs of their hands and cheeks.
"The Heavenly Demon Reincarnation Method? Chongshan Dao?!"
"It turned out that everything was fine before that it was all fake!"
How could Chongshan Dao easily allow these three hundred people to stay comfortably in Tianhe Water Palace!
Arresting people, interrogating...
Those who used to live in Tianhefang...
Chen Mu suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Collect information? Defeat them one by one?"
"So insidious!"
……
Shanghuan Shop, Chen Mu went and came back.
"Mr. Gongsun?" Shang Huan's face was full of surprise.
Why did this owner come to his shop?
