Chapter VI City Guards
The sky was bright.
Firewood room.
Chen Mu flipped a knife up and down, blowing a whirring wind.
I don't know how long he practiced, until the prompt of 'experience +1' popped up on the system panel, he stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and showed a smile.
It has been a month since Zhang Hai's accident, and in this month, Zhang Butcher and Chen Hong have also been trying to save Zhang Hai from it, but there is no movement in the end, and the person has been locked in prison, but it is okay for the time being.
As for the matter of the 'Youying' sister mentioned by Chen Hong, he never mentioned it again, and Chen Mu didn't ask, it is estimated that either Zhang Butcher blocked it, or people didn't look down on him very much, he didn't have any displeasure about it, after all, he was indeed just a low-level errand servant, and it was normal to look down on him, and now although he is on the right path, he has not shown the dew for the time being, let alone swelled to the extent that the king of heaven and Lao Tzu have to look down on him.
Everyone has their own ambitions, and they don't force them.
In short, after nearly a month of knife practice, the experience value has accumulated little by little, and finally accumulated a thousand points.
The Tempest Sword Technique was promoted to the beginner, which consumed a hundred experience, while from the beginner to Xiaocheng was three hundred, and as for Xiaocheng to Dacheng, it required a full thousand points, which also took him nearly two months of hard work.
"Actually, I'm on the right path now, even if I don't have anyone to guide me, I know how to practice, as long as I have time to sharpen, even if I don't have a system, I can slowly practice to the end of the day, but it's ......"
Chen Mu shook his head.
He could have saved some experience and tried to use it later, but he wasn't going to do it anyway.
On the one hand, if he wants to practice the Tempest Sword Technique to the fullest, it will take at least a few years, and the span is too long and too long, on the other hand, he needs strength too much now.
In this chaotic world, there is really not much confidence, but once it reaches Dacheng, it can at least deal with the siege of five or six armed bandits, even if it is the most dangerous night patrol, it can also be more confident.
After all, many bad guys, including thugs in some gangs, and even some nursing homes hired by wealthy families, are often the culmination of a certain skill of fists, feet, swords, and swords, and those who really practice 'potential' are all quite good players.
Took a deep breath.
Chen Mu's mind moved, and the 1,000 points of experience he had accumulated were consumed.
Airplanes!
All of a sudden, my brain went blank.
From the beginning to the small success, he was instilled with at least the memory of hard practice, and this time from the small success to the big success, it was through spring, summer, autumn and winter, cold and summer, and several years.
It was as if it was immersive, practicing hard every day, practicing hard every month, practicing knives in the spring breeze, practicing knives under the summer, practicing knives above the autumn frost, and practicing knives between the winter and snow...... Spring and autumn repeatedly, a few years in a flash.
By the time Chen Mu's consciousness was completely regained consciousness, his entire back was already soaked with sweat, so much so that he didn't know how long he had been standing in place in a daze.
But when I gripped the knife in my hand again, I felt like an arm-commanded command.
The introduction of sword technique is just to practice the direction and details of the force, and to master the basic moves.
The knife technique is small, and the moves and subsequent changes are also mastered, and they can also adapt to changes in the actual battle, and various move changes can be used coherently, which can be regarded as a practitioner who is on the right path.
And the knife is a great achievement......
This is a thorough mastery of the wind knife technique, so far it is no longer confined to moves and changes, for the move itself has the ability to draw inferences, flexible and changeable, in the battle against the enemy, whether it is one-on-one, or one-to-many, or against different types of opponents such as fists, feet, swords, etc., all can be skillfully dealt with, is a really powerful hand.
Once it is deployed, two or three armed bandits will be directly killed by him, and it will be difficult for five or six bandits to get close.
"Finally, I have some strength."
Chen Mu felt the strength he had at this time, and couldn't help but smile a little.
Strength is the foundation of walking in troubled times, with this kind of ability, it can be said that there are a lot more situations that can be handled, even if he has lost the identity of the errand now, he doesn't have to be afraid of those hooligans and ruffians and even gangsters looking for trouble.
At this level, he is also fully capable of being a thug in some forces, or being a nurse for others, and earning some money.
Of course.
Chen Mu will not be complacent because of this small achievement, and he only has a little self-preservation power and some ability to survive on his own, but if he wants to completely change his status, he can't do it.
Unless the Wind Sword Method is practiced to perfection, and the 'potential' that is not one in a hundred martial artists and few people can comprehend, then it can be regarded as having a foundation, whether it is to go further and make a difference, or to break away from the City Guard Division and break into the city on his own, he has the ability.
"Whew."
Chen Mu calmed his breath, then took out a piece of jerky from under the stove, chewed it and swallowed it.
He has also counted the blood capital in these three months.
The little money that had been barely accumulated in the previous two years was all taken out to buy meat, after all, practicing knives is tiring, not only to gain experience points, but also to exercise one's own physique, and it is necessary to absorb more nutrients.
And the effect is significant.
At least under Chen Mu's clothes, after more than three months of hard training and supplementing meat from time to time, the whole silhouette is bigger, although it is not enough to turn into that kind of protruding image, but at least it is no longer as thin as before.
It's just that the money he has accumulated so hard has basically been used up, and Chen Mu has been thinking about finding a time to take the 'Wind Knife Technique' to the pawn shop and sell it, anyway, he has memorized the map clearly, and it is no longer valuable.
Even.
He also pondered that if he had the chance, he would buy a few more other martial arts books from the pawn shop and see if the system could read them for him...... It's a pity that although this thing is not very valuable, if you want to buy it, you have to start with at least ten taels of silver, and he can't afford it now.
And if you sell it, you can only sell two or three taels of silver, and it can only be said that the heart of the pawn shop is not ordinary black.
"Okay, it shouldn't be too early, let's go to the City Guard Division first."
Chen Mu thought about it, but first put away the booklet of the Wind Knife Technique, cut out a little bit of the remaining jerky, hide the rest, and then opened the pot, packed the porridge and rice, and went to the back room to call Chen Yue to get up and eat.
He eats meat, so naturally he can't make his sister hungry, but he can't supply too much, and it's not time yet, so he can only save the brother and sister, and after a while, he doesn't have to think about this kind of thing anymore.
Chen Yue woke up from the haze, stretched a little lazy, and then opened her little arms to let Chen Mu hug her, but as she grew older, although she was poor and undernourished, her body was slowly developing, and Chen Mu rarely made too intimate movements.
However, Chen Yue insisted on it, and finally reluctantly hugged her and let her eat well.
Afterwards.
So he changed into his errand clothes, stepped on the errand knife, and walked out the door.
Chen Yue tied the door behind the door, watched Chen Mu's back disappear from the crack in the door, and then reluctantly slipped back into the house.
……
The city of Yu where Chen Mu is located is actually very large, not only divided into two cities, but also divided into four parts, southeast, northwest and northwest, each of which is divided into ten 'li', and the size of each 'li' is about the same as a township outside the city, but it is called 'li' in the city and called the township outside.
Therefore, in addition to the four 'city guard divisions' in the southeast, northwest and northwest, each of them also has a city guard sub-division, which is under the command of a messenger and has several messengers and dozens of messengers.
The place where Chen Mu is located is 'Jiutiaoli', which belongs to the Jiutiaoli City Health Division.
Nowadays, the government is corrupt and chaotic, and the city guards have almost become the private soldiers of some forces in the inner city, and they often don't care about the security of the city, unless there is any order from above, they will take action.
The Kujo-ri Castle Guard is located on the north side of an open square.
The square is the vegetable market in Kujori, and it is also full of people during the day, and there used to be some Jiangyang thieves who were sentenced to beheading, and they were beheaded here to show the public, but in recent years there have been fewer and fewer people.
All the way to the north of the vegetable market, there is a row of high bluestone walls, there are some cracks in the wall, a little disrepair, compared to the general department of urban health, it is obviously much more mediocre, but it is still more solemn than the houses of ordinary residents.
The Kujori Castle Guard Division in the bluestone courtyard wall also has no high-rise buildings, only some relatively clean houses.
Chen Mu walked into the City Health Division, first went to change the 'value card' of today's errand, that is, 'sign-in', and then went to the courtyard behind the house to find Liu Song, Li Tie and others in the same class.
However, when I walked into the courtyard at the back of the house, I saw that today seemed to be a little different, and many poor people who were usually here drinking large bowls of bitter tea were clustered together, surrounding a young poor person in the middle, which was very warm.
Chen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly.
The young messenger who was surrounded by everyone was called Ren Yan, he also knew him, but he was not in the same group as him, so he didn't have much contact on weekdays, but he was two years younger than him in terms of age, and he was the youngest errand here.
"Chen Er is here, come, take a sip of tea and rest first."
Liu Song and Li Tie, who were sitting under a huge locust tree, immediately greeted Chen Mu with a smile when they saw Chen Mu coming over.
Chen Mu walked over, came to sit next to the two of them, and then noticed that the errand servants gathered next to Ren Yan were basically relatively young people here, like Liu Song and Li Tie, who were relatively old and around forty years old, and they didn't come over.
Chen Mu picked up the bowl and took a sip of bitter tea, and looked into the distance: "This is ......"
Liu Song smiled and said: "Ren Yan is blessed, his father accidentally met a noble person not long ago, and climbed into a bit of a relationship, the day before yesterday, Ren Yan was arranged to the 'Kaishan Martial Arts Hall' in the inner city to learn swordsmanship, no, the young people in our department want to get together, see if they can also let Ren Yan point out." ”
