Chapter 473 Half a Year

Chen Mucheng and Shen Yan had a good idea, but unfortunately it was not realized in the end.

Old ghost Shen used to be a military supervisor. Chen Mu didn't care. Hong Xiu and Shi Dechun didn't dare to ignore him. No matter how much he tried to persuade him, it was useless.

So cowardly!

Late at night, the city of Thousand Lanterns is brightly lit.

The barracks were expanded again. In addition to the original more than 200 wooden buildings, 300 new wooden buildings with exquisite styles were completed and distributed on both sides of the central street.

"Do you really want to build a building for everyone?" Chen Mu found Shen Yan who was acting as a supervisor and asked with raised eyebrows.

"You can live in a single room? Why can't they? Are you the only one with a bigger face than others?" Shen Yan said calmly, which made Chen Mu feel tight in his chest.

Ever since the jar was broken, old ghost Shen didn't know what attributes he had awakened. Every time he spoke, he always wanted to choke people to death.

"It's a pity that we can only think about it. At most, three or five people can live in one house." Shen Yan shook his head: "There are not enough raw materials."

"You also know that there are insufficient materials." Chen Mu curled his lips.

He wished that someone would rebuild the City of Thousand Lanterns, but the wood and earthwork that had been sent in at the beginning were almost exhausted.

Now I am in Youziying, I am so busy all day long that I don’t even talk, and there are people everywhere around me. Once the materials are used up, he has no chance or time to replenish them.

"How about you dig some earth from the ground and I'll ask them to lift the foundation here first."

"Fortunately, the cave is not big and there were no waves or waves, otherwise these wooden buildings would have collapsed long ago just by digging into the foundations with a shovel."

"Okay..." Chen Mu smashed his mouth, and it would be no problem to dig some soil underground at night.

After watching the mason leading the carving of doors and windows for a while, Chen Mu called on the Yin spirits who were on duty today to recite the Three Ways Mantra to help him practice the Peaceful Heart Sutra.

This is something he must practice every day.

Although the Pingxin Sutra has long been completed, and the progress of tracing the origin of the divine fetus is not reflected on the gray wall, the Yin Spirit's divine power is actually increasing through daily practice.

And almost every day or two, the divine fetus will glow and flash, reminding him that the divine fetus is being perfected, and the feedback is more touching than the previous experience.

For this reason, the work and rest time of the Yin spirits in Qiandeng City were specially adjusted, so that day and night were reversed inside and outside, in order to cooperate with Chen Mu's cultivation.

…

The blood-red sun rises as usual.

Youziying kept spinning like clockwork, and countless dragons were filled into the bottomless pool.

During the day, Chen Mu was busy protecting the auxiliary soldiers and carrying corpses, and at night he went to Qiandeng City to practice. His life was busy but regular. Before you know it, half a year has gone by in a flash.

In the evening of this day, all units of Youzi camp slowly returned to camp.

Chen Mu also had some free time after a busy day. Holding a cup of jade dew, he sat against the pillars of the wooden house corridor, blowing the hot and humid breeze of the underworld. He took a sip of the jade dew flavored with black plum juice. He felt comfortable, and even felt that the dark red plasma-like sunset in the distance was a little more beautiful. .

Not long after, a slight noise echoed throughout the mountain, and traces of fragrance appeared on the tip of the nose.

The Yin spirits of various departments in Youzi camp have begun to make rice in pots.

Although Yin spirits can survive as long as they have jade dew, other than that the taste is changeable, it really doesn't have much texture.

The Youzi camp has been stationed here for a year and a half, almost two years, and it behaved well at first. As time went by, some people began to look for ingredients from the Underworld to cook.

Hundreds of thousands of Yin spirits gathered together, and it was impossible to suppress them all the time. Even the upright and upright Supervisor Gong turned a blind eye, and the generals of the various ministries naturally ignored them.

All kinds of strange beasts and monsters within a hundred miles of the station suffered disaster.

In other words, the flesh and blood of the multi-headed dragon are highly poisonous, otherwise the hunting performance of the entire Youzi Banner would be reduced by several points.

Just as he was thinking about whether he had something or not, a short and thin figure appeared in front of the wooden house.

Jia Zhang?

This person is an old member of the former Yi San Banner, and he seems to have some hidden magical powers. There have been many misfortunes in Haizi camp, but the other party has escaped the disaster unscathed.

Seeing the other party's figure, Chen Mu couldn't help but his eyes lit up: "But what good things did you find?"

This old guy is not only good at escaping, but also has an extraordinary ability to identify and find unfamiliar ingredients.

"It's blood oysters!" Jia Zhan grinned and raised the forearm-high bark basket in his hand: "General Banner, you are in luck today!"

Chen Mu was immediately overjoyed.

Blood oyster is a kind of exotic shellfish found in the blood sea. The meat is fresh and tender and has a fragrant aroma of vegetation. It is a rare delicacy.

After the Yin Spirit discovered its edible properties, the blood oysters around the beach battlefield were unlucky and were almost extinct soon after being caught. Unexpectedly, Old Man Jia found a bunch of them today.

"All the military merits I gained from carrying many dragons today belong to you!" Chen Mu stood up, took the bark basket, and rewarded him happily.

The smile on Jia Zhang's face became even brighter, and he immediately bent down and shouted: "Thank you, Chief Banner!"

Chen Mu has no shortage of secret skills, no precious medicines, and doesn't care about military achievements. Jia Zhang and the other Yin Ling auxiliary soldiers are precious.

…

City of Thousand Lights.

In the small courtyard in front of the wooden building.

A large black flame disk with a lotus leaf was suspended in the center of the round table and burned quietly.

On it, blood oysters as big as a palm, like black pebbles, were cut in half, and the pomegranate red oyster meat covered with garlic paste was grilled until it made a sizzling sound, filling the air with aroma.

He picked off one, scooped out the whole piece of oyster meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Feeling the hot and delicious taste, Chen Mu couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"tasty!"

"Tsk! It's terrible to be uneducated. Apart from the word "delicious", can't you think of any other adjectives?" Shen Yan sneered sarcastically.

Chen Mu ignored him.

Shen Yan couldn't help but sigh. This bastard was getting thicker and thicker, and ordinary ridicule couldn't penetrate him.

"This thing is not only delicious." Shen Yan tasted the blood oyster meat carefully.

"It can also comb the blood, clean the impurities in the body, and even has some warming and purifying effects on the supernatural power ghost pattern. That old man Jia is really something."

"He gave the most attentive ingredients you exchanged for military merits in the past six months."

"Well... or, how about you make him your own?" Shen Yan's eyes lit up: "Ordinary Yin spirits run around busy earning military merits, but just to exchange for secret resources for cultivation."

"Give him my Three Yin Phosphorus Fire Curse, which is enough for him to use until his supernatural power awakens, so that he can concentrate on finding delicious food for us."

Chen Mu immediately looked sideways.

Old ghost Shen, that's enough!

Just to have a good meal, you want me to plant the Heavenly Demon Spirit Seed in others and make them lose their freedom?

You act like a robber, tut tut...

It's not impossible!

Chen Mu came to his senses and immediately became a little eager to move.

Who asked old man Jia to bring in the delicious ingredients?

After a while, he reluctantly suppressed this tempting thought: "Seeing that the Youzi Camp's hunting mission is about to be completed, it is better not to make trouble. Compared with a few more bites of food, I still hope to return to the underworld safely."

"You are just a coward!" Shen Yan said with disdain: "You have the ability to control people, the demon spirit seeds, and this Qiandeng City. You have brought in three thousand Yin spirits. What will happen if there are one or two more Yin spirits?"

"If you were a little more cowardly at the beginning, why would you fall into my hands!" Chen Mu said with a cold and sarcastic face.

Shen Yan's face suddenly turned black.

Who the hell would have thought that you, a bastard, had powerful magical powers but disguised yourself as a small auxiliary soldier.

Isn't this cheating!

...

After dinner.

Chen Mu did not rush to practice the Pingxin Sutra, but manipulated the Danshan Sutra to integrate the power of the Yin spirits, and then connected the demon spirit seeds, passing on the Three Yin Phosphorus Fire Curse that he had practiced to perfection to the three thousand Yin spirits.

This secret method came from Shen Laogui, and its effect is similar to the Feiyan Sutra.

But compared to the dangerous Feiyan Sutra, it is more gentle and safe, suitable for ordinary Yin spirits to hone their supernatural powers. Even if it cannot be practiced in a short time, it can slowly enhance the origin of the Yin spirit.

As the origin thickens, the Three Paths Curse will also be enhanced, which can better assist him in scooping up the weak water and accelerate the return of the divine fetus to the origin.

In the early morning, in the small courtyard in front of the wooden building in Qiandeng City.

A group of Yin spirit power turned into a tangled silver thread in front of Chen Mu, a flash of light and shadow, and disappeared into the void in front of the eyebrows.

A square-faced auxiliary soldier sitting next to him was shocked, his eyes were confused for a moment, and then a silver pattern appeared on his forehead, flashing for a moment and then disappeared.

The square-faced ghost regained his clarity and thanked Chen Mu with a look of surprise.

Chen Mu patted the other party's shoulder, looked at the other party's eyes seriously, and advised sincerely: "You must practice well."

"I can only give you skills. Only by studying hard can you increase your own essence."

"Be stronger, and when you return to the underworld, you can live more freely and comfortably."

After patiently persuading for a long time, he waved his hand to let the other party leave the courtyard.

Watching the last ghost leave, rubbing his forehead that was slightly painful due to excessive mental loss, Chen Mu turned his head and looked at Shen Yan who was watching the fun next to him.

"I think we still need to use some coercive measures."

"If the environment is too comfortable, people will instinctively be lazy and don't want to move. We can't expect them to practice diligently on their own."

"I will give these three thousand Yin spirits to you to practice. Twelve hours a day, three hours to rest, three hours to chant the Three Paths Mantra to help me practice, and the remaining six hours, let them practice the Three Yin Phosphorus Fire Mantra!"

"I'll prepare a small bamboo pole for you. If anyone dares to slack off, you can hit their palms and make them split for you to see!"

Liver! Liver to death for me!

You can quickly improve your strength, and you can also help me fill up the bottomless pit of the Divine Embryo as soon as possible.

Shen Yan rolled his eyes immediately.

"Listen to what you're saying."

"Nine hours of training a day means no rest, even animals can't be used like this!"

"Such a high-intensity training method is fine for one or two days, but it will definitely fail if it lasts for a long time."

"Why not?" Chen Mu stiffened his neck and stared: "I can recite the Yumen Mantra even when I pull the flame carriage during the day, and I can continue to practice the Pingxin Sutra when I come back at night, and occasionally I can relax and take a break with the Huangquan Yin. Why can't they do it!"

Shen Yan was speechless: "Do you think everyone can take training as fun like you, a lunatic?"

"This is not how you train soldiers. Forced pressure will only cause mutiny."

"Then what do you say?" Chen Mu didn't understand.

How fun is training? There are actually people who feel impatient? Tsk...

Shen Yan looked at Chen Mu's expression and couldn't help but feel a toothache.

After getting along for almost a year, he felt that this guy was a little bit sick.

Sure enough...

"I have been a military supervisor for decades, and I have more experience in training soldiers than you. Leave the people to me, don't bother!"

So arrogant?

"Okay..." Chen Mu curled his lips helplessly, agreeing with great difficulty.

Alas... Huiqiang, you are not good enough. After all, I have led these three thousand Yin spirits for half a year, why don't you give me some experience in commanding troops?

I actually let this old ghost Shen act arrogantly in front of me.

Failure...
