Great Xuanwu Sheng

The early morning sun falls on the city.

The smooth ice picks under the edge of the wall have become much smaller, only a little bit as big as a finger.

Chen Mu was wearing a dark green errand, followed by several errands. He was walking on the spacious main street in Wutongli. He could see that there was still a small amount of snow that had not melted between the streets and alleys, but most of the places had been cleared.

Lord Chaiji.

Lord Chaiji.

Pedestrians passing by along the way quickly saluted respectfully when they saw Chen Mu.

If before this new year, the common people in Wutong were mostly afraid of Chen Mu, the newly appointed city guard, then now they are more in awe. Just dispatching people and horses to rescue the victims has made the entire Wutong The people at the bottom here are spreading rumors about Chen Mu, the new Chaosi master.

It looks like the snow will melt away in a few days.

Chen Mu patrolled the streets and spoke calmly to Shang Qinglai and others who were following him.

Shang Qinglai said: It will get warmer every day, and this cold winter is over. I heard that the ice on the moat in the west has broken, and some sailing boats have begun to recruit customers.

After saying this, he suddenly felt a little speechless again, and couldn't help but look at Chen Mu cautiously.

Chen Mu didn't care. There were always people who liked singing and dancing on the boats and listening to music on the railings. As long as it wasn't a forced buying and selling business, then it wouldn't matter.

Talk about it.

In the past, he had some thoughts of having fun, but as his strength and status gradually improved, he gradually faded away, although he had socialized a few times and experienced it twice.

After taking Shang Qinglai and others to inspect the streets and markets, Chen Mu dismissed everyone and returned home.

In the backyard.

The two little girls were playing and chasing each other happily.

When Chen Mu walked in, Ku'er, who was running towards him, couldn't dodge and bumped directly into him.

Old...Master...

Ku'er felt as if he had hit a wall at this collision, but when he saw Chen Mu clearly, he was even more frightened and hurriedly knelt down.

Chen Mu made a serious face and said: If you are reckless, go to Ni'er and get the palm board five times.

yes……

Ku'er responded with a bitter look on her face and went into the house.

Chen Mu shook his head. If Chen Yue were here, he would probably say that he was too spoiled by the little maid next to him. If he collided with him like this, the master would just slap his palm lightly a few times and get over it. But he really didn't want to punish the little girl, just to avoid it. If you are too spoiled, you still need to take some control.

However, the few maids in his yard, although they are not very old, are all sensible and well-behaved.

master.

Le'er, who was chasing Ku'er, also weakly bowed to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu raised his hand, tapped her forehead lightly, and then walked past: Okay, get up and go boil some water.

Go back to your bedroom.

Chen Mu took out the black jade Yijin Pills from the cabinet.

Nearly two months later, this Yijin Pill is still the size of a baby's fist, but the color on it is no longer that deep black, but has become much darker.

This shows that the medicinal power inside it has been squeezed out and is almost exhausted, gradually turning into medicinal residue.

It can probably be used for about ten days.

Chen Mu looked at it carefully.

He has entered the level of Yijin. In the subsequent training, Yijin Pills are no longer necessary. In the absence of black dragon blood, it is equally effective to boil several other medicinal powders. Of course, Yijin Pills are always the most effective. One of the best medicinal materials, but Chen Mu has not been able to get the second Black Jade Yijin Pill recently.

With a thought, he called up the system interface.

[Black Jade Muscle Relief Method (45%)]

[Experience: 8 points]

Since the Black Jade Yijin Method has reached over 30% and passed the watershed of Yijin Xiaosheng, the subsequent improvement progress has become slower, and it takes 20 experience points to increase it by one percent.

Chen Mu was not surprised by this. After all, the higher the intensity of body tempering and the greater the difficulty, the higher the difficulty. Otherwise, if someone like him could reach the limit of skin grinding and flesh training, and build a body of pure gold. There won't be so few people.

Even so, his cultivation progress is still quite fast, but it has improved from 30% to 45% in just over a month, and Yi Jin has been nearly half completed.

In fact, with the improvement process of Yi Jin, it can be said that his strength has improved every day, and the cumulative changes are considerable. On the contrary, the martial arts artistic conception has not changed much before he has accumulated enough experience points.

It is estimated that in another month at most, we will be able to reach the Dacheng of Yijin, and then the perfection of Yijin.

Chen Mu closed the system panel.

With his physique and martial arts artistic conception, when he reaches the perfection of Yi Jin, he is sure to compete with bone-forging martial artists who have never grasped the artistic conception. When Yi Jin reaches perfection, the bone forging is actually right in front of him.

Regardless of the big figures in the viscera realm behind the four major families in the inner city, if you actually master the artistic conception and step into the bone forging, you will have reached the true top of Yucheng.

Dusi in the outer city!

Kill the demon Sidusi!

Yucheng Dutong!

A truly high-ranking and powerful figure is in that realm.

Chen Mu has never taken action since the last time he killed the evil swordsman Zhang Xie of the evil gang. He has always been prudent in his actions. When he needs to strike, he strikes hard and unambiguously. When he needs to hide his clumsiness, he will not deliberately show off his weakness.

Boil water, boil medicine, and relax tendons.

After completing the practice of the body tempering method as usual, he devoted himself to the study of the Zhenlei Diagram and sat in the bedroom until evening.

I thought that this day would pass as usual, but just when Chen Mu came back from his thoughts, collected his thoughts and walked out of the room, preparing to call someone to prepare meals, suddenly a boy from the front yard came to report.

Master, Liu Song is here.

Chen Mu's expression moved slightly and he said, Call in.

Nowadays, Liu Song still holds the position of sergeant in the City Guard Department, but secretly he has followed his instructions and organized some personnel to collect all kinds of information.

This was also learned from Min Baoyi. While Min Baoyi was in charge of the Jiutiaoli City Guards Department, he also had a group of informants who were aware of what was happening everywhere at all times and cooperated with the City Guards Department overtly and covertly.

soon.

Liu Song's figure came to the yard. After hurried over, he quickly reported several things to Chen Mu.

After Chen Mu heard this, he frowned and said, Is there any news from the General Director?

Liu Song shook his head.

After Chen Mu pondered briefly, he waved his hand and said, Okay, I understand.

For more than a month, he has been safe and sound in Wutong. Whether it is disaster relief or other matters, there is no obstacle. I only heard that there are a lot of overt and covert fights at the headquarters. He Mingxuan wanted to stir up some troubles while Xu Hongyu was away, but they were all blocked. Xiaohe pressed it.

This time, the incident was still not directed at him, but at Xiao He. He Mingxuan obviously wanted to completely move Xiao He away than he, the chaplain.

only.

This situation may be very unfavorable to Xiao He, but Xiao He did not inform him, probably because he wanted to deal with it on his own.

But no matter what, now that he knows, he won't turn a blind eye. It just so happens that he has nothing to do at the moment, so he can just go over and take a look secretly.

…

The westernmost bank of Wutongli.

moat.

There are still some broken ice blocks on the river, and boats are not yet able to sail, but some rowboats and boats have opened for business. It is dark now, and the lights inside the boats are brightly lit.

Since the moat itself does not belong to the west or south of the city, nor does it belong to the jurisdiction of any party, therefore, the building, boating, painting and gambling houses are very prosperous here. Now that the cold winter has not completely passed, a small number of them have opened.

The background of these buildings, boats and boats basically leads directly to the inner city. Not only the squires from Nancheng District and the west come here to enjoy it, but also dignitaries from the inner city.

One of the large boats is in the painting boat.

In a brightly lit cabin, various decorations are luxurious and exquisite. The most eye-catching thing is the four crimson beads inlaid around the room, which continuously emit heat visible to the naked eye, making the whole room filled with warmth. , obviously the ice and snow outside has not completely melted away, but it seems that warm spring has arrived here.

Several women with graceful figures in light gauze danced their waists to the sound of clanging, and what they saw was the utmost luxury.

He Mingxuan was sitting in the corner of the room.

But he was not in the main seat. He seemed to be just a foil, chatting and laughing from time to time.

The person in charge, surrounded by He Mingxuan and several young master-like figures, was a young man in his twenties or seventies. He hugged a girl casually, picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and placed the wine cup on the girl's head. Next to the cheek, a drop of the bright red wine inside was poured out.

The girl did not dare to resist and drank the drop of wine. But as soon as it fell into her mouth, her whole body trembled. She was shaking slightly, and heat was visible to the naked eye on her forehead.

The young man laughed loudly and threw the girl away. The girl hurriedly wanted to get out, but she couldn't get up and barely climbed two steps before falling to the ground.

This Fire Cloud Wine is really strong. The one brought by Brother Xue seems to have some other benefits?

He Mingxuan said with a smile.

The young man whom he called 'Brother Xue' grinned and said: Yes, I happened to hunt a red-trained demon snake a few days ago, and used its demon gall to brew several jars of Huoyun New Wine. The wine was stronger than usual. If the fire cloud wine is added several times, even a martial artist who has perfected his meat training will fall down if he can't drink more than two cups.

The people around him all complimented and said many flattering words, and looked at the young man with a bit of awe in their eyes.

Xue Lin!

Among the fourth generation figures of the Xue family, the most outstanding person is not only the leader of the younger generation of the Xue family, but also the younger generation of other families in the inner city, and is the well-deserved number one.

Now he is the deputy director of the Inner City Demon Slaying Department, and he has already entered the bone forging realm.

Not to mention He Mingxuan, even those who are more directly at the core of the He family are still shorter than Xue Lin and cannot compete with him.

at this time.

In addition to Xue Lin, He Mingxuan and others in the painting boat, there was also a young man about twenty years old. He looked somewhat similar to Xiao He, but he was in a very embarrassed state. His whole body was soaked with ice water, and he was even more injured. Tied with ropes, he was kneeling not far away, trembling constantly.

Neither Xue Lin nor anyone else looked at him at all. Only He Mingxuan occasionally glanced at him and flashed a sneer.

Ning He...

You are just a servant following Xu Hongyu, but you dare to go against him everywhere. How will you end up today?

What happened today was an accident. He was just accompanying Xue Lin to enjoy the boat, but he happened to meet Ning He's younger brother Ning Yu. After a little planning, Ning Yu fell into the trap and directly offended Xue Lin!

Ning He held power for Xu Hongyu, which was indeed difficult for him to handle, but after all, Ning He's surname was Ning, not Yu.

finally.

The song ends.

The door of the painting boat was pushed open, and a person walked slowly over. She had a slightly sullen face and was wearing a simple gray casual dress. It was Xu Hongyu's maid Xiao He.

sister……

Ning Yu, who was tied to the ground with a hemp rope, saw Xiao He coming in, with a look of shame on his face, lowered his head deeply, and clenched his fists.

He knew that he would implicate Ning He today.

He didn't even want Ning He to come to save him, but Ning He was already here, and all he could do at the moment was lower his head and not cause more chaos.

Xiaohe's eyes quickly swept across the field and saw He Mingxuan and his brother Ning Yu, but they did not stop. In the end, his eyes only fell on Xue Lin, and he stepped forward and bowed.

Ning He, a civilian girl, has met Master Xue, the Demon Slayer Division.
