Chapter 375 An unexpected surprise
Two days later.
At the end of the third floor of the Sutra Pavilion.
Chen Mu picked up a silk scroll from the top shelf of the bookshelf and activated his Qi Confinement Hundred Miles to absorb the dust from the gaps between adjacent scrolls.
After cleaning, put the scroll back in place.
This process went on and on until he reached the middle of the bookshelf, where five or six scrolls stacked together appeared before his eyes.
Chen Muru cleaned the dust as usual, but in the end, she deliberately left one of the scrolls aside.
The next moment, Qing Lu's voice emerged.
"The third volume of 'Tongtian River Water Mirror' was put in the wrong place."
Chen Mu turned around and bowed respectfully, "Thank you for the reminder, Duyuan."
He immediately activated the Di Listening Method and, as expected, captured the familiar aura on the first floor.
"This place is the farthest from the counter on the first floor. The entire octagonal wooden building is within the coverage of Qinglu's secret method."
After watching Qing Lu leave, Chen Mu continued to clean silently.
At 10 p.m., Chen Mu temporarily left the Sutra Pavilion on the pretext of having a meal.
After walking out of the attic, he did not rush back to the bamboo house, but walked slowly along the bluestone road outside the Scripture Pavilion.
At the same time, he quietly activated the Qi Ban within a hundred miles, collecting dust and loose soil from the roadside and spreading it flat on the ground.
Not long after, a tall and thin young man in his twenties came from the mountain path, along the bluestone road, with dust on the soles of his shoes, and hurried towards the Scripture Pavilion.
When they passed each other, Chen Mu showed no expression, but his Di Ting Fa was fixed on the young man.
As soon as the other party walked into the door of the Scripture Pavilion, Chen Mu's heart couldn't help but rise.
But Qing Lu did not show up until he walked out of the Sutra Academy area.
"That young man has loose dirt on his feet. Yi Qinglu is a mysophobe, so normally he would have asked me to clean it up, but now..." Chen Mu's eyes narrowed.
"Can't, or don't want to?"
"Probably not wanting to." Chen Mu frowned.
Old Man Qing was a man of the rules, so he stopped bothering Chen Mu after he left the Sutra Pavilion.
But in this way, it is difficult to calculate the coverage of Qinglu's secret method.
……
after lunch.
On the second floor of the Sutra Pavilion is the Qimen Secret Technique Area.
Chen Mu stood between two rows of gray bookshelves.
On the bottom shelf of the right side, rolls of bright yellow scrolls flew up from thin air and lined up in front of Chen Mu.
"The Art of Telescopic Vision. Climb high and see far away, dozens of miles away as if they were right in front of you. A human telescope?"
"The Scent of Scent, identifying all kinds of flavors, knowing people by their scent, a dog's nose, huh..."
"The Mirage Technique, the mist forms a mirage, this is far inferior to Qing Lu's secret method..."
Chen Mu quickly browsed through the ten lines at a glance.
Trying to find some clues about Qinglu's secret method. It would be even better if I could come across a targeted secret technique for exploration.
The Sutra Pavilion is sparsely populated.
Occasionally, disciples from the lower house would come, but they would leave in a hurry.
Chen Mu didn't care about anything. He stood where he was and used his Qi to quickly replace the book in front of him.
Regardless of whether they were useful or not, he read them one by one, as if he was simply doing it to broaden his horizons, so he was not afraid of Qing Lu finding out.
Just as he was watching intently, a stream of energy leaving the Scripture Pavilion caught Chen Mu's attention.
"Is it that tall and thin young man? Has he chosen his secret technique?"
Chen Mu curled his lips helplessly: "Now that they have left, it's time for Old Man Qing to come."
I was about to put the book floating in the air back to its place but I held myself back.
As soon as the young man left, he immediately prepared to clean up. It was obvious that he had a high-level secret method of exploring, and he was using it unscrupulously in the Scripture Pavilion.
This is just asking for trouble.
"I don't know what kind of secret technique Old Man Qing is practicing. Why is it so weird? Is it true that the Di Listening Method is useless against it? Does it require another level up?" Chen Mu practiced the Di Listening Method to its full potential without giving up.
He hadn't had much hope.
But the next moment, a feeling came over me as if there was suddenly an extra object in my hand.
And that object is not small, its size... is like a person!
Chen Mu turned around suddenly.
Then Qing Lu suddenly appeared out of thin air, as if two videos were awkwardly edited and glued together.
There was no transition or warning, just like the sudden appearance of a villain in a horror movie, catching people off guard and making them shudder with fear.
"This feeling……"
Qi banned for a hundred miles? !
what!
Chen Mu's face twitched and he tried hard not to laugh out loud.
He didn't expect that the figure that could not be captured by the Di Ting Fa was actually discovered by Qi Jin Baili!
Qing Lu tilted his head slightly and looked at Chen Mu strangely.
"Are you... okay?"
Is everything okay?
Hey!
How come you're okay?
Something's going on! Something big and happy!
In the past, he only used the Qi Ban of Hundred Miles in a small area, spreading it flat on the ground or the surface of a bookshelf to replace the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains for cleaning.
I was looking up information today. In order to save time and effort, the Qi barrier opened into a ball, covering the bookshelves within a five-meter radius.
Who would have thought that in addition to the Qi Ban teleportation, he could also discover Qing Lu's clone.
The joy of accident!
From now on I will no longer be afraid of you sneaking up behind me!
"But you want me to sweep the dust?" Chen Mu's face was full of surprise.
Qing Lu: “…”
Does this new proofreader like this job so much?
"Just leave it to me with confidence. Look at my formless secret hand. It's best at moving things and making sure they are clean." Chen Mu was talking nonsense and picked up dozens of books with enthusiasm, controlling them to swing in the air.
In order to demonstrate it more clearly, he used the book as dots and lines, first outlining a cow, and then arranging the number thirteen.
While directing, he grinned and said, "Look, it's amazing!"
Qing Lu: “…”
This new proofreader...is there anything wrong with him?
……
the next day.
The third floor of the Sutra Pavilion.
"Don't ask me again. I can't do anything. If there was a sucker to replace me, I would have quit this job as a proofreader long ago." A middle-aged colleague in his forties looked at Chen Mu meaningfully.
Who the hell are you looking at!
I'm not a sucker!
Chen Mu explained sincerely, "I actually like this job as a proofreader."
The middle-aged colleague curled his lips and said, "Like it? Aren't you afraid of the strange behavior of the Duyuan who appears and disappears all the time?"
"I'm not afraid." Chen Mu looked calm.
"Ha!" The middle-aged colleague looked disdainful.
"Don't believe it?" Chen Mu raised his eyebrows.
Then he easily took a black leather book from the other person that needed to be sorted and filed.
Just throw a position at random in a flash.
The middle-aged colleague felt his scalp tingling and his eyes widened.
But before he could figure out what was going on, a voice suddenly rang out.
"The Records of the Strange Stories of the Hundred-Minded Dao Ancestor should be placed in the fourth grid on the fourth floor."
The middle-aged colleague was immediately frightened by the sudden ghostly voice.
He quickly turned around and responded, and quickly put the wrong book back in its place.
After watching Qing Lu leave, he turned around and was about to scold Chen Mu, but when he looked up, he saw Chen Mu's smiling face: "Exciting, right?"
Middle-aged colleague: “…”
Is this guy seriously ill? !
……
Chen Mu looked at his colleague who left in embarrassment with a look of regret.
He also wanted this colleague to help him test it a few more times to get a feel for it.
