While thinking about things, Chen Mu came to the City Guard Department. As usual, I put up the sign, turned over the sign, and then went to the backyard to drink tea and wait for people. Before practicing swordsmanship, he came to the City Guard Department earlier every time, but after practicing swordsmanship, he came later. Basically, by the time he arrived, the guards of the same class had almost arrived. When he came in, he happened to pass by Ren Yan. In the past six months, Chen Mu and Ren Yan had not interacted with each other very much, and they didn't pay much attention to each other. But this time when they passed by, he looked at each other with a subtle look. This change...is it microdermabrasion? Chen Mu murmured in his heart. Compared to half a year ago, Ren Yan's skin tone was obviously darker, and he looked a bit rougher, but also more solid. Originally, he thought it was just a change in sword practice, but now it seems that there may be something more. The work of resurfacing is inside. But as far as he understood, both skin grinding and knife skills are all water-sharpening skills, which cannot be accomplished in a day. The account even mentioned the saying three years of skin grinding and ten years of meat training. I didn't know this in the past, but now that I think about it, four of the five chiefs of the City Guards seem to have practiced skin grinding, but I don't know to what extent they have practiced it. Chen Mu thought about the few people in the City Guard Department again.
Although only one of them has mastered the sword technique, if the others have practiced the skin grinding method and are stronger than ordinary people, then they may not be much weaker with their great sword skills. If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. To be able to become a bad leader with Dacheng's sword skills must have some background. And since there is a background, it is impossible not to be exposed to the practice of inner training. It's just that most of them are not advanced enough. . This Ren Yan has indeed encountered an extraordinary situation. I thought I only learned sword skills, but I never expected that I also learned internal training techniques. Chen Mu shook his head slightly. He is still thinking about how to come up with the money to buy an internal training method. Soon they arrived under the familiar big locust tree. Liu Song and Li Tie were already sitting there. When they saw Chen Mu coming, they immediately greeted them with a smile. After a few people poured a cup of bitter tea and chatted briefly, a police officer suddenly walked into the yard, holding a few pieces of yellow paper in his hand, shaking his arms and saying, A new arrest warrant is here. The policemen sitting scattered in the courtyard went over to check. Liu Song also stood up and quickly brought back a piece of yellow paper. On the yellow paper was a human face. The drawing was very rough and rough, but there was a more obvious black patch on the right side of the face. The bottom of the yellow paper was A few scrawled descriptions. ...The evil thief Tang Quan stole property in the inner city and now runs to the outer city. He will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver for providing accurate clues. If he is killed, he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. If he is captured alive, he will be rewarded with three hundred taels of silver. After seeing the contents of this arrest warrant, many officers in the whole yard started making noises. Li Tie also let out a 'huh' sound and exclaimed: Good guy, I will reward you with a reward of three hundred taels of silver for capturing him alive. What big thing did this guy do in the inner city to be wanted with such a reward? There are many similar arrest warrants in the City Guard Department, but the general reward of thirty or forty taels of silver for capturing someone alive is already very high. The reward of three hundred taels of silver is often very few in a year. Stealing property, hehe, I guess the stolen items are much more than three hundred taels... Liu Song said Hey and threw the arrest warrant on the stone table without paying much attention. Bandits of this level are not suitable for small policemen like them. Three hundred taels of silver are not silver, they are coffin boards. Anyone who dares to tempt him will probably lie in it. After so many years of being a policeman, he will not No matter how much they are tempted by this kind of worthless money, they can't even think about it. After all, if you think about it with your toes, you know that for low-level policemen like them, a brutal bandit with a reward of three hundred taels of silver is someone who will explode if they look at him one more time. Chen Mu took a second look, but actually he wasn't very interested. Speaking of those characters with twenty or thirty taels of silver bounties on their heads, if he really encountered them, he might be willing to weigh their strength, but at this level, even if he had perfected his sword skills and practiced his sword power, he would not be willing to do so. There is no need to take such a big risk. No one knows what kind of strength this character has.
I guess only the poor old men will be tempted. Li Tie shook his head and took a sip of bitter tea. Liu Song next to him looked around mysteriously and saw that no one was paying attention, and then whispered: Have you heard that Zhao Tou is retreating? Um? Chen Mu and Li Tie were both a little surprised when they heard this. Zhaotou, I should be talking about Zhao Zong, the oldest Chatou, seems to be in his fifties, close to sixty. What's wrong? Li Tie lowered his voice and asked in surprise. Normally speaking, no matter how old you are, you won't be willing to step down from a position like Chatou. After all, as long as you stay for one day, there will be one day of benefits, and the gangs and forces outside will try to show their goodwill. But once you retreat, you will become an ordinary old man. Even if you have some strength, after all, you are old, your energy and blood have declined, your power is gone, and you will soon be forgotten. I suffered from a hidden injury when I was young, and I can't hold it any longer. Liu Song spoke softly. Hearing this, Chen Mu and Li Tie both nodded slightly. I am afraid that Zhao Zong is not willing to give up the poor position, but if his body cannot support it, then there will indeed not always be an old man whose mobility has been greatly reduced. Bad head. Li Tie looked thoughtfully at the many policemen in the courtyard, and whispered: Head Zhao is gone, but there is a vacant seat. The City Guard Department now has five chiefs, each with their own division of labor and commanding different people. Once Zhao Zong leaves, either his people will be divided again and assigned to other chiefs, or a new chief will be appointed. At this time, Liu Song glanced at the place where Ren Yan was in the distance, and said with a slight sigh: This position is probably his. Zhao Tou can probably hold on for another half a year. Even if the level is not enough after half a year, the top If someone says hello, it shouldn’t be a big problem. When this luck comes, it’s really unstoppable.” Originally, he, Li Tie and many other veteran sergeants were unwilling to curry favor with Ren Yan, not only because Ren Yan was too young, but also because if Ren Yan wanted to be a charioteer, he would have to practice swordsmanship for at least several years. , only then can you develop your true skills. But now, It happened that Zhao Zong was ill and had to vacate a seat soon. It could be said that he came to the pillow when he was dozing off. What a blessing. Li Tie couldn't help but sigh. More than half a year ago, Ren Yan was no different from other police officers, but suddenly he got lucky and got the opportunity to go to the inner city to practice martial arts. After more than half a year, he probably practiced martial arts well enough to be able to enter the palace, and he started to do it. Bad chance. Hearing this, even Chen Mu couldn't help but glance at Ren Yan from a distance. Such a good destiny is quite a bit like a person destined by fate. but…… Chen Mu shook his head slightly in his heart, but didn't say anything. After taking a sip of tea, he stood up and said, Okay, Brother Liu, Brother Li, let's get going. Upon seeing this, Liu Song and Li Tie put down their tea bowls, picked up the swords beside them, and set off together.
Just after Chen Mu and the others left, some other officers also set off in twos and threes. However, everyone murmured in a low voice and showed a lot of surprise. Many people also frequently looked in the direction of Ren Yan. Obviously, Zhao Zong's incident was not just a day or two, but gradually it could no longer be concealed. Basically, all the guards in the yard began to hear about it. Thinking of the soon-to-be-vacated post, they immediately thought of Ren Yan. . As for Ren Yan himself, who was frequently glanced at by everyone, he was calm and calm at the moment, as if he didn't know anything about it. He just drank tea calmly. After a while, he stood up slowly, his steps erratic. Went on patrol. … Chen Mu didn't care about Zhao Zong. He is different from Ren Yan. Now he has perfected his sword skills and mastered the power of the sword. If he wants to be the leader, he doesn't need to pass through the open space. With this strength alone, there is no problem in hanging out of thin air. Even if the Jiutiaoli branch dares to say that the position of Chaotou is full, then other City Guard branches will probably immediately offer an olive branch to Chen Mu and recruit him to work as Chapou in other branches. After patrolling with Liu Song and others, Chen Mu returned home and bought some fresh meat and new vegetables. Now he can eat meat at every meal at home, and Chen Yue's complexion is much better than before. , the little girl Wang Ni also became blessed. After the whole family had eaten, Chen Mu went to the woodshed alone as usual and took out the Gale Sword Technique. The skin grinding method must be put on the agenda. Try to get it as soon as possible. Before that, practice the gale sword technique. Now that he is getting stronger and stronger, Chen Mu's mind has become calmer. Open the booklet. Although the Gale Sword Technique and the Gale Wind Sword Technique both have the word wind and belong to the Xunfeng lineage, their moves are completely different. The Gale Wind Sword Technique pays more attention to the chaos and entanglement of the wind, while the Gale Wind Sword Technique pays more attention to the strong'. Now that Chen Mu has perfected his sword skills and mastered the power of the sword, he only read through the Gale Sword Technique once and he roughly understood the focus and direction of this sword technique, and immediately started practicing swinging the sword. The gale sword technique is wide open and close, and its power is fierce and evil. There was a glimmer in Chen Mu's eyes. It was not yet completely dark at this time. He waved his knife in the woodshed and saw a bunch of knife shadows flickering on the dilapidated wall. It was violent and vicious, as if it was about to tear the wall down at any time. The body is torn apart. With the foundation of the Gale Sword Technique, practicing the Gale Wind Sword Technique is indeed different. Chen Mu didn't even use the system panel. He just relied on himself. After practicing for two or three hours, he felt that he had started to get started with this sword technique. Call up the system interface and take a look. Sure enough, something has changed. [Martial Arts: Wild Wind Sword Technique (Perfection), Gale Wind Sword Technique (Beginner)] [Experience: 7 points] Well, I can get started easily without relying on the system. I guess it won't take long to reach a small level of success, but if I want to break through to a big level, it may be faster to consume experience points. As for perfection... Chen Mu nodded slightly. When he was patrolling today, he had some side-by-side conversations with Liu Song and Li Tie about Zhao Zong. Although Liu Song had never practiced kung fu, he was still that old and he was well-informed and knew more things than Chen. Much animal husbandry. For example, in this world, there are very few people who can master two sword skills, because it is often difficult to master one sword skill. If you learn more, you will only bite off more than you can chew. It is far better to practice one sword skill to perfection. Draw the sword. But again. The kind of person who can practice many types of swordsmanship and swordsmanship to perfection is indeed like a monster, but that kind of existence is quite a genius even in the inner city, and is basically impossible to encounter in the outer city. But for Chen Mu, as long as he has enough time, he can practice all the skills to perfection, let alone two or three, and master their essential power. This is a skill that is unique to him.
Put down the knife. Chen Mu walked to the stove and picked up the kettle on the stove. The kettle contained water that Chen Yuelin boiled for him before going to bed. Better have a good night's rest tonight. Since he didn't sleep all night last night, even though Chen Mu's spirit has been tempered and he is now much stronger than ordinary people, he is also a little tired. He doesn't plan to practice swordplay all night again tonight and should have a good night's rest. But just when Chen Mu was about to return to the bedroom to rest, he suddenly stopped, his ears twitched slightly, as if he heard something, and he immediately looked out along the crack in the door, showing a trace of vigilance.
