Immediately, the muscles and skin all over his body began to wriggle and change violently, and he suddenly changed from a two-meter-tall and strong man into a 1.75-meter-tall chubby young man.
……
Under the misty mountain.
In a newly dug cave, the size of an ordinary bedroom.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the cushion, smelling the fishy odor of freshly dug soil and observing the ground through the perspective of the five ghosts.
The ghosts that floated by from time to time made his scalp tingle.
The shriveled and dead birds and animals made him even more frightened.
"We're not going to be wiped out again here in Wuyan Mountain, are we?" Chen Mu looked grim.
He had just established himself in the Yuquan Mountain Villa when he never expected to encounter such a disaster.
"Not really, not really. There are three Nengqiao masters in charge of Wuyan Mountain." Chen Mu comforted himself.
But the ghosts everywhere in the mountains really made him feel confused.
After a long while, Chen Mu couldn't figure it out and could only sigh and shake his head.
"Just wait."
Send out a group of five ghosts to wander on the ground.
The other four all gathered around him, fearing that they would be visited by the evil spirit.
I hid in fear all night, until the sun rose the next day, and the ghosts and monsters all over the mountains suddenly disappeared.
He hid underground for another morning.
It was not until the sun was setting and a stream of light flew out of the Misty Mountain that Chen Mu emerged from the ground.
While using the five ghosts to explore the way, they approached the Yanxia Sect’s base.
When Chen Mu saw the people coming and going on the hillside of Wuyan Mountain, he was surprised and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Was it Elder Liu Ling who saved everyone?"
"Great!"
"Now we don't have to run around."
……
At night, in Bai Xiuwen’s bamboo building.
"Do you know what happened last night?" Chen Mu asked.
After using the Five Ghosts to watch for an entire afternoon, he discovered that there was no obvious damage on the mountain, which was obviously abnormal!
"I heard that the mountain protection ban of our Jilong Dao has taken effect. Everyone staying on the mountain is safe." Bai Xiuwen explained.
Chen Mu suddenly understood.
What a risk!
If the mountain protection ban had not been set up yesterday, who knows how many people in this mountain would have died!
"Last night, a black light shot up into the sky. Some people thought that a magical treasure or a spiritual object had appeared, so they ignored the orders of the elders and secretly went down the mountain."
"One by one, none of them returned!" Bai Xiuwen shook his head in fear: "Luckily I held back, otherwise..."
Then he moved closer to Chen Mu and whispered, "I heard that our Vice Dean Sun is one of them."
"Deputy Dean Sun hasn't come back yet?" Chen Mu pretended to be surprised.
Believe it or not, he really died at the hands of a ghost monster.
"Greed is harmful." Bai Xiuwen sighed.
He was not greedy, he just wanted to kill me and get rid of the root of the problem.
but……
Sun Wuhuan was believed to have died from the rebellion of ghosts.
Then can't I continue to stay in the Yuquan Mountain Villa with peace of mind?
Good thing!

Chapter 335 Funeral
Five days later.
An underground river somewhere.
With a loud bang, a ball of pale green blade light broke through the collapsed rock cave.
Chen Mu, wearing a Yangcha bone shield and with a fist-sized fluorescent algae lamp floating beside him, walked carefully into the underground space.
As soon as I walked in, I found a shriveled corpse at the entrance of the cave.
There was a big hole in the man's chest, and his skinny face was full of fear, like a mummy that had been buried in the desert for hundreds of years.
At this moment, it was floating on the surface of Yin River, blocked by a rock, drifting with the water flow, slowly spinning in place.
"Why bother?" Chen Mu shook his head.
Sun Wuhuan had great talent, a good family background, and no shortage of secret resources. He should have become a high-ranking figure, but in the end he still died a tragic death.
"I was clearly avoiding you, but you insisted on cutting the weeds and getting rid of them completely. Sigh..." Chen Mu sighed.
"After all, we know each other. Even though we are enemies, I can't bear to see you soak in water after you die. Let me bury you." Chen Mu thought so, and activated his Qi Confinement Hundred Miles to lift Sun Wuhuan up from a distance.
Then... he took out the Fire Cloud Gourd.
boom!
The raging flames immediately enveloped Sun Wuhuan.
Chen Mu stared at him without blinking, and used his Qi Ban Baili to squeeze and hit him until he was completely burned to ashes.
Then sprinkle the gray powder into the Yin River.
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. As my enemy, I have done my best to help you with your affairs after your death." Chen Mu had a complicated expression.
"Alas... I'm just a pushover." He was helpless about the kindness in his bones.
The world is a dangerous place, and being too kind may not necessarily lead to good results.
"But who can blame me for being this kind of person?" Chen Mu was very pleased that he could maintain his original kind heart.
"If Sun Wuhuan knew about this in the afterlife, he would surely be touched." He thought with a sense of accomplishment.
"If he can still pass on the message, he will definitely use these belongings as a reward for me." Chen Mu looked at the two things floating in front of him with a smile on his face.
A red-skinned gourd that feels as heavy as cast iron.
An emerald green ring with faint silver star dots.
“You are so kind!”
"This is what I should do."
"You're welcome!"
"Ha ha……"
……
Inside the alchemy room in the warehouse on the east side of Mount Wuyan.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged on the couch, holding the black Hunyuan Furnace on the low table in front of him with both hands.
A low buzzing sound came out regularly from the alchemy furnace.
After a while, Chen Mu let go of his hand and opened the lid of the furnace.
Eighty-one fasting pills flew out one after another and fell into a wooden box on the side of the low table.
"It would be nice to have a Qiankun furnace." Chen Mu thought with some longing.
Even though he had thoroughly mastered the method of refining the Bigu Pill, he was still limited by the size of the pill furnace and could only refine eighty-one Bigu Pills at a time.
He had heard Bai Xiuwen chatting before and knew that there was a Qiankun furnace, which looked small from the outside but was extremely huge on the inside. One furnace could replace ten furnaces.
"If I had a Qiankun furnace, I wouldn't have to make the elixir again here." Chen Mu looked at the dozen or so neatly arranged wooden boxes under the couch.
It was filled with the essence of grains, which were accumulated in the previous month.
"Didn't Qi Hui come here to earn Taoist merit? I was transferred away by Liang Yi before, why didn't he come?" Chen Mu wondered.
"It would have been better if he hadn't come. Now that Sun Wuhuan is no longer plotting against me, I should be the one to earn this Taoist skill." Chen Mu thought happily.
Rest for a while, clean the furnace, and continue refining the elixir.
……
It was evening more than ten days later.
Chen Muzhu Building, on the corridor outside the door.
On three sides of the corridor, there are insect repellent incense sticks hanging in a bell shape. When the breeze blows, the deep red color at the end of the incense sticks flickers.
A fist-sized fluorescent algae lamp hangs on the top of the eaves, illuminating the gradually darkening sky with its warm white light.
There is a square table under the lamp, with five large dishes, three vegetarian dishes and two meat dishes placed around it, and a round Hunyuan stove in the middle.
Bai Xiuwen sat on a bamboo chair with a backrest, looking at the Hunyuan furnace with a strange expression. The white smoke bubbling out of the braised exotic beast meat inside made his eyelids twitch.
Use the precious alchemy furnace to stew meat? !
Really...
He couldn't help but glance at Chen Mu beside him.
"Eat, why are you looking at me? The meat is cooked just right."
"Eat, eat now..." Bai Xiuwen's face twitched and he started eating with a wry smile on his face.
As soon as Bai Xiuwen took a bite of the stew, his eyes lit up.
