Chapter 45 The Water Is Too Deep

The Huiyan bandits can be said to be the biggest crisis that the Yunyang faction has encountered in recent years.

There is no need to elaborate on the grievances between the two parties.

As the saying goes, there is no coexistence between good and evil. The masters in the sect are actually vigilant and prepared for the resurgence of the gray-eyed thief.

However, some time ago, the Outer Gate Guard Hall expanded the night watch team and forced the outer gate disciples to join the night watch.

There are obviously big problems with this decision.

Fortunately, the sage in charge and the elders were wise and took timely measures to bring order to the chaos.

It is said that a certain deputy hall leader who was mainly responsible has been demoted from his position and was punished to spend thirty years in the demon cave to dwell on his past.

As for the casualties among the monks at the bottom of the outer sect, several farmers suffered heavy losses.

That can't be said nonsense.

It should be noted that when the disaster occurred, the inner sect and the main hall dispatched more than a dozen masters of the Zifu in time, killing the invading evil cultivators and effectively protecting the security of the border.

There must be monks who were killed by the gray-eyed thieves.

But not much.

Recently there are rumors that the outer sect main hall deliberately concealed and underreported a lot of casualties, fearing that the real person would be angry and prosecuted.

That must be a rumor!

Don't spread these rumors randomly.

Once more than five people are found to have reported it, they will be arrested and severely punished by the execution hall.

Remember, remember!

…

For the sake of two packs of Yunwu Ling Tea and Wang Chen's sincere attitude, Mr. Sun revealed many secrets to him with great care and sincerity, and talked a lot.

After the old man has had enough addiction, he may feel that the topic is too sensitive and the conversation is too superficial.

There is a risk of 404.

So he forcibly changed the subject and called his family over to keep him company.

Then a group of three aunts, six aunts, seven sisters-in-law and eight sisters gathered around Wang Chen and said some incomprehensible words such as "Gouzi, do you want a wife", "It's time to get married at this age", "I have a cousin".

Seeing Wang Chen's embarrassed look, they all burst into laughter, filling the living room with a happy atmosphere.

Wang Chen had no choice but to use the indestructible method again to forcefully break through the siege.

When he was leaving, Mrs. Sun personally saw him off.

The chief said meaningfully: "Go back and think about whether you have offended anyone before."

Wang Chen was shocked.

Although what the old man said was a bit cryptic, he heard it clearly.

There was obviously an inside story to Wang Chen's inexplicable recruitment into the night watch team.

However, he returned home and thought hard.

After searching through the memory of the original owner, I couldn't think of anyone I had offended.

You must know that the original owner was dull, introverted and simple, and had been farming conscientiously outside.

The usual social circle is very narrow.

The only person who had any discord was probably Zhang Xiaoshan from the Zhang family.

But it is absolutely impossible for such a small thing to lead to such a big revenge.

Not to mention Zhang Xiaoshan, none of the Zhang family has such great energy!

Wang Chen felt his head hurt thinking about it.

It felt like I was caught in an invisible net, knowing the danger but not knowing how to escape.

I felt the water was too deep again.

He gritted his teeth and made another trip to Yunshan City.

Before the library closed, he spent seventy merit points to exchange for a mud and stone technique.

The name of Mud and Stone Technique sounds very tacky, but it is actually a mid-to-high-level Qi training spell that is very practical.

Just like the Cloud and Rain Technique can be divided into moving clouds and spreading rain, Mud and Stone Technique also includes two methods.

They are fossilized into mud and solidified mud into stone.

The two are just the opposite.

This spell is mainly used for mining, opening roads, splitting mountains, building houses, etc.

The magical skill of beating workers.

But Wang Chen had no intention of changing his job and working as a coolie.

He learned mudslinging with the intention of digging tunnels!

Although limited to source channels.

Wang Chen had limited knowledge of the Yunyang Sect's situation and was unable to get the latest news in a timely manner.

But he can fully understand the increasingly tense situation inside and outside the mountain gate.

The gray-eyed thief was temporarily repulsed.

But who can guarantee that they won't come back again?

Evil cultivators who believe in evil gods are like weeds in a spiritual field, which are difficult to truly remove.

Wang Chen had no idea what danger he would encounter next time.

And there is probably a guy hiding inside the outer door who has intentions that are harmful to him!

Coupled with even more terrifying evil spirits...

At the moment, Wang Chen neither has the capital nor strength to escape, nor can he enter the safest inner door.

There is no place even in Yunshan City.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Wang Chen could only find ways to improve the living environment.

He couldn't afford a defensive array that cost hundreds or thousands of spiritual stones, so he would follow the cunning rabbit's example and dig a few burrows.

Once encountering overwhelming danger, there are ways to hide and escape.

You can even hide in the underground secret room for daily practice and sleeping.

Full of security!

The more Wang Chen thought about it, the more he felt that this path was correct and had gained the essence of meticulous cultivation.

So in the next few days, he concentrated on understanding the mud and stone technique.

Strive to get started as early as possible to gain skills and experience.

For this reason, the Shadowless Divine Movement and Breath Condensation Technique, which were exchanged for a large amount of merit points, were temporarily put aside.

There was no way, the original owner left a very poor foundation, so he, the successor, had to make up a lot of homework.

As the saying goes, hard work pays off. With Wang Chen's tireless efforts, he successfully mastered the basic method of mud and stone magic on the fourth day after redeeming the method!

In the small courtyard, Wang Chen grabbed a ball of black mud dug from the ditch outside and injected mana into his palms.

His right hand suddenly glowed with a faint yellow light.

In an instant, the black mud covered with yellow light solidified quickly.

Consolidate mud into stone!

[Earth and Stone Technique·Experience +1]

Wang Chen opened his fingers, and a black mud stone ball fell to the ground with a bang.

It's as hard as a billiard ball.

He reached out to grab it again and used the Object Controlling Technique to take the stone ball back into his palm.

Put your fingers together and pinch hard.

Snapped!

The stone ball was torn into pieces, and countless pieces of mud fell from between the fingers.

The hardness is still not strong enough.

Wang Chen estimated that the skill level was too low. He believed that it would improve significantly after he was promoted to mastery and minor achievement.

He wants to dig more than just tunnels.

If you want to be truly safe, you must dig a bunker.

Even if encountering a strong enemy invasion, he can resist for a moment and gain himself a chance to escape.

The higher the level of mud and stone magic, the stronger it is!

Fortunately, this spell does not consume much mana, and it is easy to gain skill experience points.

Even if he used all his virtue points to hit it, Wang Chen would still be able to hit it to the level of Xiaocheng.

He grabbed another ball of black mud.

Bang bang!

At this moment, the courtyard door was knocked gently.

A rough voice came into Wang Chen's ears: "Is the master here?"

Who?

Wang Chen dropped the black mud in his hand and used a cleaning technique.

Then go over and open the courtyard door.

I saw a tall and burly man with a beard standing outside the door. When he saw Wang Chen, he immediately cupped his fists and saluted: "Master Immortal, please forgive me for being rude, does your family need to hire someone to harvest rice?"

Wang Chen was slightly startled.

The opponent's aura was unparalleled, he was clearly an innate master!
