17. Practicing skin
Finding the abnormality of the courtyard at a glance, Chen Zheng's face suddenly turned cold, and he walked into the courtyard in three steps and two steps, and entered the house with the empty door wide open.
Although the room was pitch black, you could see a mess all around.
The only tables and chairs in the outhouse were all overturned, and the few dried pieces of meat hanging and dried were missing;
In the back room, his bed was also turned into a mess, the only cabinet was wide open, and the only clothes were scattered on the floor.
"Brother Zheng, this ......"
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wu San and the other three who followed in were taken aback, and they were all surprised:
"This is a thief!?"
"Who is so bold as to dare to come here and steal!"
The houses where these low-level members live are shabby, and petty theft is happening from time to time.
But this is the area where high-level cultists live, and ordinary cultists don't dare to come here if they don't have anything to do, so ......
Chen Zheng, who the three of them could think of, could naturally think of it, so he immediately lit the oil lamp, and then leaned down to investigate the clues in the inner room.
The ground was a mess, but there were still unfamiliar footprints to be found.
However, there were no lines on the footprints, and there were no clues other than that the intruder was a man.
Zhao Wu asked cautiously:
"Brother Zheng, but what important things are missing?"
Chen Zheng's most valuable thing now is the bottle of Tiger Power Pill with four left, as well as the book "Tianmu Alchemy".
However, he carried these two things with him, and he had nothing else to lose, so the only things that were missing were a few pieces of air-dried wild boar.
"Others don't steal, but they steal from me, do you think I'm a bully?"
The loss is not big, it does not mean that this matter does not need to be investigated, I saw a cold light flickering in Chen Zheng's eyes, and after thinking for a while, he directly picked up the knife and walked out of the house.
Wu San and the others didn't know why, so they immediately followed out one after another.
Seeing that in the dark night, Chen Zheng came directly to the small courtyard next door, patted the courtyard door that was closed from the inside, and shouted in a deep voice:
"Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong is here?"
There was silence.
Bang bang bang!
Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows, full of strength, knocked on the wooden door with a bang, and the door bolt seemed to be about to break.
And not long after this knock on the door.
Squeak.
Through the cracks in the fence, you can see that the wooden door of the house in the courtyard suddenly opened, and a dark and stiff figure shrouded in shadows, looking straight over, making a hoarse and dry voice:
"Who's out there......?"
"It's me, Chen Zheng next door!"
Seeing the main owner appear, Chen Zheng said in a deep voice through the door:
"There was a burglar in my house, I don't know who broke the door, did Brother Zhong hear any unusual movements before?"
Zhong Ming was still standing in the shadows behind the door, making it difficult to see clearly, but his voice was still hoarse, and he said slowly:
"No, I didn't see ......"
Chen Zheng frowned: "Brother Zhong should have been recuperating in his house all the time, and our two families are only three or five feet apart, haven't we heard a sound at all?" ”
Like a lifeless sculpture, Zhong Ming in the shadows was motionless, and his voice was suddenly a little rapid and sharp:
"I said, no ......!"
Bang.
As soon as the words fell, the other party suddenly closed the door, and there was no more sound.
Well?
This guy doesn't seem quite right......
Zhong Ming's state of speaking was strange inside and out, and Chen Zheng's brows suddenly twisted into a pimple.
For the time being, he didn't plan to tear his face, he gave up asking, signaled and took Wu San and the others back to his courtyard.
"Brother Zheng, Zhong Ming, who lives next door, is the one who went crazy, right?"
Back in the courtyard, Wu San lowered his voice and was a little angry:
"This guy reacted so much, could it be him?"
"It's a little suspicious, but it's hard for him to say whether it's or not."
Chen Zheng's eyes were cold:
"Forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter, go back."
Zhao Wu hesitated and said, "Brother Zheng, do you want to report to Qi Guan and let him come to ......?"
Chen Zheng shook his head decisively:
"There is no evidence, and there is no important thing lost, and it is useless to report it. This is my own negligence, so let's leave it at that. ”
Knowing that this kind of thing is indeed either evidence or arrested, otherwise the sect will not pay attention to it, Zhao Wu and the three of them sighed, and they could only give up.
Then, simply dividing the things into one point, Chen Zheng was not in the mood to keep three more people, so he let them each leave.
After the three of them left, they returned to their house.
In the dim light, his eyes showed a little haze.
Don't mention whether the burglary in the house has anything to do with the next door.
It had been about ten days since he last communicated with Zhong Ming, and he could clearly feel that the other party's state seemed to be very wrong in the conversation just now.
Thinking about it, after all these days of moving here, he seems to have never seen the other party walk out of his house.
An alienated person who has gone mad and is getting worse and worse is undoubtedly equivalent to a ticking time bomb, and it is unsettling to have such an unstable factor living next to it.
"My current strength is still a little insufficient among the high-level cultivators who are all practicing dirty, so ......"
Thinking of this, he furrowed his brows, took out the medicine bottle containing the Tiger Power Pill directly from his arms, and then poured out one from it:
"Sealed!"
With a little finger, the Emperor Heavenly Jade imprinted on the great thousands, and the divine brilliance poured into the small Huli Pill along the fingertips, which instantly made its brilliance radiate, and began to expand and change.
In the blink of an eye, the longan-sized Tiger Power Pill was transformed into a crystal clear, medicinal Dragon Tiger Strength Pill.
Adjusting the state, Chen Zheng swallowed the Dragon Tiger Zhuangli Pill without saying a word, and then came to the corner of the courtyard and directly began to practice the "Thirty-six Styles of Refining Truth".
Although it has only been practiced for three days, this martial arts practice method has been proficient, and when the posture is together, you can hear the crackling sound of the bone joints, and the muscles and flesh between the posture and push are pulled, and the strength is turned.
And as it advanced one by one, the fiery medicinal power quickly germinated from the abdomen, as if a fire had been ignited in the body.
With previous experiences, Chen Zheng was very calm about this.
The thirty-six forms advanced rapidly, and the muscles and muscles of the whole body were constantly stretching, bouncing, and trembling during the vigorous movement, absorbing the surging medicinal power in an unbelievable way.
A quarter of an hour, half an hour, an hour......
The fist style is getting faster and faster, and the more urgent it is, it sets off a gust of strong wind and blows in all directions.
What's even more bizarre is that as Chen Zheng stepped on the chain and constantly changed his fist posture, in addition to the crackling, crackling and crackling sounds, there were also bursts of strange buzzing sounds on his body, as if the muscles and bones on his body were constantly ringing.
The buzzing was not noticeable at first, but it grew stronger as time went on, until by the end it was as if he were shaking.
Driven by the skin membrane, the muscles and bones are ringing, this is the trend of skin training!
