My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 707 Seclusion
There is a gentle breeze in the mountains and forests, and the air is fresh and pleasant.

But Chen Mu's good mood only lasted for a few breaths before it completely disappeared.

He just habitually used his magical power of listening to observe his surroundings.

Then I discovered that the familiar City God Temple was not on the hill at my feet, and there was no trace of Luandu County, which was supposed to be located not far below the mountain.

The area within a radius of twenty miles was filled with low mountains and continuous forests, with no human habitation whatsoever.

Apart from the familiarity of the thin vitality of heaven and earth, the hill under your feet is not Qiluo Mountain at all!

"I've already reached the fifth level, why is this Nine Cups Mathematical Sutra still so unreliable?!" Chen Mu's face twitched.

It was obvious that from the very beginning, the Nine Cups Divination had calculated the landing position incorrectly.

……

The West Market in Zhang'an County is crowded with people, and the sounds of hawkers calling out their wares can be heard one after another along the street.

On the second floor of Shangpinju, Chen Mu sat at a square table by the window, slowly cracking pumpkin seeds and looking at the bustling city below with interest.

Chen Mu used the Zhuyu magic sword to explore the way, and it took him several days to get out of the mountains.

Zhang'an County was the first large city he encountered.

From the conversation of the crowd, he gradually understood where he was.

"Dahong Xuanmi County, but I don't know which continent this Dahong court belongs to."

Yunzhou and Haizhou are definitely not the ones, they have never heard of this mortal court.

As for other continents...

He hadn't been there either, so he couldn't make a definite judgment.

"Zhang'an County is still a little small, and information is a bit blocked. Maybe I can find out more when I go to Xuanmi Prefecture."

Chen Mu was thinking about the itinerary for the next few days when he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the window.

Looking over curiously, I saw a large group of people walking towards the city gate in a bustling manner.

Most of those in the lead were dressed in the uniforms of officials and yamen runners, followed by some local gentry in exquisite clothes, and then ordinary residents of all ages, men and women, who came to join in the fun.

After seeing the long line, many customers in Shangpinju just paid their bills and left with the crowd.

"Sir, are you from another place?" A sturdy young man in gray clothes and shorts came to the window, looked at the people going away with envy, and asked Chen Mu with a smile.

"You have good eyesight." Chen Mu nodded in agreement with a smile.

"Today is the day for inviting the City God of Zhang'an County. Local people all know it. Seeing your puzzled face, I only know that you are from another place." The sturdy guy explained with a smile.

"The Lord of the City has boundless power and can ensure good weather and good harvests. If you have time, you can go with him. Maybe you can get some of the Lord of the City's blessings."

Good weather and good harvest, the City God is praying for the gods?
This is... the City God's Dojo, the living god of the underworld? !

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"Is this really Yunzhou? That's impossible. There is definitely no dynasty called Dahong in Yunzhou."

"Newly established in the past few years?" Chen Mu shook his head slowly.

This place is definitely not Yunzhou.

But why are there living gods of the underworld here?

Chen Mu frowned.

No, I have to go and ask!
"Where are you from, sir..." The young man in gray turned around and was about to continue talking, but he found a few more silver beans on the table beside him, and the seat was empty.

"Tsk, he looks like a lazy young man with delicate skin and tender flesh, but I didn't expect that he is actually a martial arts master." The burly guy raised his eyebrows and happily put the silver bean into his sleeve.

……

Twenty miles outside Zhang'an County, there is a newly built City God Temple on the hillside of Cuiping Mountain.

The temple was filled with people, but no one spoke a word. It was very quiet.

A statue of an armored general is enshrined in the main hall of the City God.

At this moment, the old temple priest with a goatee stood in front of the altar, holding an ancient bamboo slip in his hand and reciting in a low voice.

After a moment, he threw the bamboo slips into the burning copper basin wrapped in straw in front of him. Bang!
Flames rose, and the bamboo slips instantly turned into rising green smoke.

A cool force suddenly burst out from the jade-white City God statue. The originally blurry face of the statue slowly changed shape and soon became the face of a square-faced middle-aged man.

The people who were bowing with their hands crossed looked up and saw the changes in the statue of the City God, and immediately shouted in surprise.

"After this change, is it really the reincarnation of Yin Ling?!" At the foot of the mountain, Chen Mu, who was hiding in the crowd, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Wherever there are living gods in the City God Dojo, there will be Hades God Transformation Warriors and Dragon Lockers.

Qi cultivators are naturally opposed to these people, and if they are caught, they will be buried underground to serve as meridian stakes.

"We can't stay in Zhang'an County anymore." Chen Mu shook his head.

He had originally planned to rent a courtyard in the county town to live in for a while.

……

Two hundred miles south of Zhang'an County, there are continuous mountains

On the hillside of an unknown hill, there is a platform like a chair.

On the nearly vertical mountain wall, a stream gurgles down, forming a small pool on the platform.

An exquisite thatched house with a height of two meters stood not far from the pond.

On the porch in front of the wooden house, Chen Mu sat in front of a small square coffee table, counting the white jade coins in his hand one by one.

"Thirty-one thousand four hundred white jades can make the exquisite jade plate run for two years."

"Thanks to the large number of Netherworld Demons and Sky Demons that we hunted in the past two months, there are still a lot of demon blood and flesh essence left in the Bottomless Pond."

"If nothing unexpected happens, these resources will be enough to support me in my cultivation to perfection." Chen Mu calculated silently while picking up the white jade coins.

This is the third day since he left Zhang'an County.

When he found out that there was a City God Taoist temple in the Dahong court, he gave up the idea of ​​going to Xuanmi County.

With his current level of Taoism, he was not afraid of the Hades God Transformation Warriors. But if he really ran into one, he would be attacked by a group of people, which would be troublesome endlessly.

So he left Zhang'an County and returned to the endless mountains and forests. He chose this quiet hill with mountains and water, and planned to live in seclusion for a while before making any plans.

……

After putting away the white jade coin, a translucent gray wall appeared before my eyes.

After quickly scanning the numerous items, Chen Mu looked at the column that he was most concerned about.

Jade Cicada Secret Codex: 7982/10000/Level ;

"If it weren't for the invasion of Fire Star by Nether Demon Tian, ​​the experience of the Jade Cicada Secret Book might be even higher." Chen Mu felt a little regretful.

"Forget it, people still have to look forward."

"The Netherworld has invaded. I'm afraid the Hornwood Stars will not be safe in the next few years. It will be safer to leave as soon as possible."

He had signed the Dao Soldier Contract in Haizhou before in order to obtain the Dao Foundation Atlas. Now that he had the Jade Cicada Secret Book in his hand, leaving Tianxing and returning to the ground could be considered the realization of his original plan.

As for the contractual constraints...

"It shouldn't be any big trouble." Chen Mu thought to himself as he scratched his scalp which was numb from the backlash of the contract.

Previously on Huodao Star, Zhou Tong had issued a written decree to summon Taoist soldiers.

Chen Mu didn't go, so the contract backfired.

Fortunately, he had the Nine Lives Disaster Dividing Technique to share the burden, and the daily thunderbolts became like being hit by static electricity in winter.

"Just think of it as tempering your body."

"Besides, I still have a lot of demon spirit seeds that have not been trained by the Nine Lives Tribulation Technique."

"With more spirits sharing the burden, the power of the contract will only get smaller and smaller, and will eventually approach zero."

"After four or five years, the ten-year contract will be automatically cancelled, and the incident of being struck by lightning will be completely over."

Chen Mu thought about it for a moment, then put the matter of the contract aside and turned to practice the Jade Cicada Secret Book.
