Chengdongfang City is still lively, the only change is that the faces of many casual cultivators are not very good, sighing, and their eyes are full of pessimism.

In stark contrast, the talismans were beaming with joy and enjoying the windfall brought by the disaster.

The number of monks with crooked minds also increased.

A few thieves and rat-eyed monks were active in the market, wandering around. When encountering Madahar, several people cooperated, and the means were diverse. Or accidentally touched it, or secretly cut the pocket, or one person pretended to ask for directions, and the other person secretly started, and immediately made a bird and beast scatter after getting it.

These scenes that are common in the mortal world are actually commonplace here.

Chen Ping shook his head secretly.

Avoid these monks as soon as possible.

He inquired a little about the price situation, found some small objects such as bronze mirrors in the stall, and then quickly left the place where it was wrong.

Fang City is the epitome of life in Lianyun City.

The market is in chaos.

Lianyun City is not much better.

He left the market and went straight to the 'Hong's Cloth' store in the west of the city, wanting to buy some outside news.

When I arrived, I found that the shop was in ruins and had long been empty.

I asked a passing Taoist friend to find out that this cloth shop had not been opened again after the beast tide.

"I heard that this store is secretly doing unsavory business, and it was touched by someone during the beast tide, and the loss was heavy, so the store did not open again." The kind-hearted Taoist lowered his voice and secretly told Chen Ping.

Chen Ping nodded, thanked him and left in a hurry.

It's a pity.

The information here is a bit more expensive, but it's a reliable source.

It's all gone.

Back in the Eastern District, when walking through a street with few people, Chen Ping's feet stopped.

The hand subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword.

His growing hearing allowed him to faintly hear a conversation in a distant courtyard ahead.

“... Fellow Daoist, this talisman was discovered by my gang first, and after raising it for so long, you Wild Wolf Gang came here to prepare to rob it, what does this mean? ”

"Yo, you raised it? I also said that I bought his talisman a few months ago, so what should I say? ”

“... Daoist friends act like this, don't follow the rope and ink, right? ”

"Rope ink? Here, the monk's rope ink is rope ink. ”

“......”

Gang fights?

In broad daylight, it is so rampant?

'Hey. ’

Chen Ping sighed inwardly, and the world was in chaos again.

Silently retreated, not ready to inquire more.

This kind of thing has happened before, it is now, it will happen in the future, and it will happen more and more.

Take a few steps back, turn around and walk briskly back, and go back in a different way.

It took me a few streets to breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, I increased my vigilance to ensure that I didn't bring a tail, and cautiously returned to the house all the way to completely reassure. Although his cultivation has become high, and many spells have reached the peak, he still instinctively feels a little nervous when he encounters this kind of thing.

In the future, if you can, go out as little as you can. There are dangers everywhere. ’

This kind of situation of not knowing the details of the other party, every time I encounter it, it is Schrödinger's battle. ’

'The other party's cultivation is low, this is an opportunity to get rich. But if the other party's cultivation is high, and it is still a group of people, the danger will be greatly increased. ’

'I don't share the days with adventure. ’

......

Chen Ping calmed down for a while.

Walk to the basement and start digging the tunnel.

The tunnel is deep enough, nearly ten meters underground, and the 'earth-shaking technique' is silent, so it is not easy to be spotted even if you walk through the streets and alleys.

After this period of continuous reclamation, a distance of five miles has been dug, and at this time, only the last one or two meters are left, and the exit can be opened.

Soon, a ray of light came in from the ground.

He didn't continue digging, took out a bronze mirror and used the principle of the reflector to observe the situation outside, it was still a barren grassland, and there was no human figure.

In fact, on the way back just now, he made a special detour to look over there to confirm that no one was moving.

He waited another moment before continuing to dig through the opening.

The exit is not large, only allowing one person to enter and exit, and the exit is selected in the corner of a collapsed wall, which is overgrown with weeds. After he got out of the ground, he repaired the site and covered the hole better.

Then a boulder is pushed to the entrance of the cave, and after the person returns to the tunnel, the boulder is gently pulled to cover the hole.

Get.

He patted the dust off his hands and returned to the basement.

With this passage, there is an escape exit, and it is more convenient to travel. ’

This is the first one, and we have to dig another one to be safe. ’

The second one is best to go straight out of the city, and you have to find a suitable exit. However, this amount of work is large, and it can only be done step by step. ’

Chen Ping used the 'Dragon Gathering Water' for half an hour to collect water vapor in the air and on the walls of the basement to keep the basement dry.

This is the superiority of water-based spells.

Then he returned to the ground in the house, and he only left a small amount of spiritual rice and demon beast meat in the dining room. The rest was all moved to the basement for storage.

The cabinet where the books and talismans were placed was simply moved to the basement.

Then an extra wooden bed was made.

You can also spend the night underground when danger comes.

In this way, the basement can be regarded as complete, although it is small, but it has all kinds of organs. ’

Chen Ping returned to the ground and did not stop.

Continue to take defensive measures in the premises on the ground.

When troubled times come, there are no more than three dangers:

One is a demon beast.

The second is evil.

The third is the monks.

The work to defend against the monsters is the basement, which has already been built.

Warding off evil spirits requires evil charms and evil charms.

As for defending against the monks.

This one is much more complicated.

What can be done is to reduce going out and be more vigilant around the house, so that people don't touch the neighborhood of the house without knowing it.

With this in mind, he used the principle of submarine mirrors to arrange some bronze mirrors in several dead areas of the house, so that even at home, he could observe the environment outside the house in an all-round way.

This is a mindset that the indigenous people of the world do not have.

Even if the monks outside found some bronze mirrors under the eaves outside the house, most of them would not suspect their true use, or even suspect that they were used to ward off evil spirits.

This is a dimensionality reduction defense.

After arranging the reflective bronze mirror, some evil charms were pasted in all corners of the house.

The evil talisman and evil suppression talisman that he bought last time when he was about to leave Lianyun City have always been on his body and have never been used.

After doing all this, Chen Ping took a few cleaning charms for himself.

'All three defenses are complete. ’

'Perfect. ’

......

There is a lot of rain in the spring.

In the afternoon, it rained heavily, and the heat of early summer was suddenly relieved.

Inside the house.

Chen Ping sat at his desk and flipped through the "Five Elements Dao Technique Beginner's Dictionary" again.

He had learned earth spells and water spells. This time, I am going to practice the fire-based spell 'Fingertip White Flame', which is also a basic spell, which has no attack value and can only play an ignition role.

If you learn it, you can save the ignition charm.

Fly meat is also meat.

Chen Ping held the book, chanting the mantra silently, and at the same time following the guidance in the book to attract spiritual power...

After a few times.

"Poof~"

A flame burst out uncontrollably without warning, burning a corner of the register.

I'll go.

Why did you come to attack suddenly?

Chen Ping hurriedly slapped the book on the table, and poured a little water from the water cup before extinguishing the flames.

Looking at the burnt book, Chen Ping was distressed.

… These are two low-grade spirit stones.

But fortunately, only a small corner was burned, which did not affect reading, and it could still be used for personal use.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and this spell has also been officially introduced.

[Spell: Fingertip White Flame (Starter): 1/1000.] …】

Keep practicing.

Wait, pack up the flammables.

If you burn it again, the gains outweigh the losses.

Two hours later.

"Poof."

A white flame erupted from the fingertips of the thumb.

Active extinguishing.

"Poof."

A white flame erupted from the tip of the index finger.

Active extinguishing.

“……”

"Poof!"

A small flame erupted from each of the five fingers.

Extinguish it.

Chen Ping tried and tested it with great interest for a while before stopping. The feeling of the flames dancing in his fingertips without any pain was quite strange to him.

It was getting dark.

When Chen Ping was playing with fire, he suddenly heard a commotion from the yard next door.

I looked out the window and listened intently.

I saw that it was a couple of monks at the end of the street who were asking for help from Yu Qingyi.

"Senior Yu, you have to help me. The dog left the city the sun before yesterday, and it has been two days and two nights now, and he still hasn't returned. We're just a bad kid, you have to help me. The woman monk snorted and wept.

“.....”
