A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 98 The answer
"Mastery of bone shrinking skills!"

Duan Rong looked at the data appearing in front of him with horror in his eyes!
All those strange phenomena that he could not understand were solved because of the sudden appearance of this bone-shrinking skill!
He peeled off Xu Ruhu's scalp, put it on his own head, and wore Xu Ruhu's clothes, shoes and socks, and took great pains to set up a killing plan!

Why was Jie Lei able to roll so amazingly and dodge the three poisonous needles he shot, with only one of them piercing his neck!

He was just a step away from dodging the killing trap he had carefully set up!

Why was it that he was safe and sound even though he had clearly stabbed Jie Lei's heart with a knife, and even took the opportunity to almost kill himself!
At that time, Xie Lei's body bones suddenly shrank, and he used the armpit of his left arm to instantly clamp the oxtail knife that Duan Rong was stabbing at!

This is why Duan Rong couldn't draw his sword and retreated violently! He was almost killed by Jie Lei's dart that pierced his throat!

After releasing the thunder, he finally shrunk himself into a meat ball, rolling and smashing around, which is also a move in the bone-shrinking skill!

More importantly, once this bone-shrinking skill appeared, it immediately solved the mystery of how Lei He kidnapped Xu Ruhu from the dungeon!

What Yang Zhen said was right, he indeed saw Jie Lei walk out of the gate of the Arrow Tower with his own eyes, and Jie Lei did leave!
But at dawn, he used his bone-shrinking skills to squeeze through the ventilation hole in the dungeon that was so narrow that even a dog couldn't enter!

In the dungeon, he had taken the opportunity to saw off the heavy locks on Xu Ruhu's body a few days ago!

Duan Rong looked at the longevity lock hanging on Jie Lei's neck and suddenly shouted, "Devouring!"

How could he let go of the master-level bone-shrinking skill!
After swallowing it, Duan Rong turned his head again and looked at the barrier knife at his feet!

He grasped the sword in his hand and shouted again: "Swallow!"

This is something Duan Rong figured out recently, since he was able to swallow eighty-one tree spirits in a row in Wild Boar Mountain and then digest them slowly.

"Tree spirits are fine, as are weapon spirits!"

He just hadn't tried it before!

As long as there is no indication on the data panel that the relevant area of the spiritual space is saturated, he can keep swallowing!
However, if you swallow more, it will take longer to digest.

Although there will be a feeling of discomfort in the brain after swallowing, Duan Rong has become familiar with this feeling after swallowing and digesting it many times. The only difference is that he cannot think deeply, but his basic reaction is not greatly affected.

After Duan Rong finished doing all this, he looked around the cave again!
He suddenly picked up the oil lamp in the corner, and under the light of the lamp, collected the poison needles he had shot, one by one!

He didn't want to leave any evidence at the scene that could be used to pursue him!
After doing all this, Duan Rong blew out the oil lamp in the corner and left!

Duan Rong came out of the dry well. He stood at the mouth of the well and turned his head to look towards the main room. The door of the main room was open and not locked!
Duan Rong's eyes swept across the window in the inner room, but did not stop. He performed the Cloud Snake Step, touched the mouth of the well with his toes, and his body suddenly flew up like a big bird and landed steadily on the top of the wall.

Duan Rong leaped once more and disappeared into the vast night...

Duan Rong believed that there must be other valuable things in Jie Lei's room, but he didn't want to search his room at this time.

Jie Lei is thoughtful, maybe there are other arrangements in the room!

What's more, the Taizang Sutra is already in hand, so there is no need to create any more trouble!

Duan Rong moved in the night, weaving through the dark shadows in the alley as agile as a wild cat!

Half an incense stick later, Duan Rong suddenly jumped into a quiet and dark alley. His body flew up like a big bird. His toes touched the wall in the alley, and his body landed lightly in a dilapidated courtyard.

This is exactly the house where the original body lived!
Duan Rong looked at the elm tree in the courtyard, his eyes moved, and he suddenly jumped up and stood next to the high branches of the elm tree. There was an abandoned bird's nest there!

Duan Rong picked up the bird's nest, poured his internal energy into his fingertips, and drilled a small hole at the intersection of the branches under the bird's nest. Then he rolled up the human skin secret book and stuffed it into the hole. He picked a few elm leaves to block the hole, then put the bird's nest back in place before lightly landing on the ground!
He was not in a hurry to study the Taizang Sutra; now was not the right time!
He believed that Jie Lei's death would be discovered soon, and by then this case would become a case within a case!
He plans to wait and see how the situation develops!

After Duan Rong finished all this, he walked slowly to the inner room on the west side of the house, closed the doors and windows tightly, took out the brazier and dry firewood, lit a fire with a tinderbox, Duan Rong took off his clothes, boots, headscarf and mask, and threw them all into the fire in the brazier!
Duan Rong then closed the door, took a stack of banknotes in his hand, walked to the inner room on the east side, and lit the oil lamp!
His brown shorts and a pair of black cloth shoes were placed there!

Duan Rong put on his shorts and counted the silver bills in his hand, a total of six thousand eight hundred taels!
Duan Rong smiled, stuffed the banknotes into his inner pocket, grabbed a blanket, wrapped himself in it and fell into a deep sleep!

He is indeed too tired!
Although he was an apprentice escort of Yuanshun Escort Agency, who could say anything if he occasionally returned to his own courtyard to sleep for a night?

As the saying goes, a home is worse than any other. Who doesn’t have a sense of nostalgia?

Duan Rong slept very soundly that night!

When the sky was just getting light, the sounds of roosters crowing from far and near could be heard faintly!
Duan Rong was annoyed by the noise, so he covered his head with a blanket and slept for another half an hour before getting up!

He got up and went to the inner room on the west side. He saw that there was only half a basin of black ash left in the brazier in the middle of the room. Because the doors and windows were closed, there was still a choking smell of smoke in the room!
Duan Rong opened the doors and windows to ventilate the air!

Then he picked up the brazier and poured the remaining ashes in the brazier into the stove in the kitchen!
Duan Rong threw the brazier into the corner of the kitchen, patted the black ash off his hands, went to the well in the yard, fetched a bucket of clean water, and while humming a little tune, he used soap nuts to wash his body and hair thoroughly.

After Duan Rong finished washing, he felt refreshed and swaggered out of his yard. He had some breakfast on the street and then returned to Yuanshun Escort Agency.

As soon as Duan Rong returned to Yuanshun Escort Agency, he went to Xiao Zongting's courtyard before returning to the dormitory.

He hasn't been here for two days. Including the day he just came back, Xiao Baiqiao's coffin has been here for three days!
Duan Rong is still not very clear about the funeral rules in this world. According to the customs of his previous life, the body is usually kept for three, five or seven days, depending on the weather!

Although the weather in Qingzhou was not very hot at the moment, the temperature was rising day by day. Duan Rong estimated that the funeral would be held in the next day or two.

As soon as Duan Rong arrived at Xiao Zongting's courtyard, he found that the inner courtyard was crowded with people.

It turned out that Ruan Fengshan came back late last night!
Early this morning, he brought his five wives and concubines, their young children, and a large group of people to pay homage to Xiao Baiqiao!
Huang An brought a few servants with him to serve...

As a result, the inner courtyard, which was not very spacious to begin with, became even more crowded!

After Ruan Fengshan and his family had completed their formalities, Xiao Zongting welcomed Ruan Fengshan into the house and served him tea!

In the inner courtyard, Ruan Fengshan's young son was held by a pretty maid, but he kept crying and hitting people...

A trace of disgust flashed across Duan Rong's eyes. He glanced at Xiao Yu and Zhu Xiaoqi in front of the mourning hall. Seeing that they were in good spirits, he felt a little relieved.

Although Xiao Yu and Zhu Xiaoqi had to keep vigil every night, they took turns to rest, so they didn't get sick...

In the inner room of the inner courtyard!

Ruan Fengshan politely took a sip of tea, looked at Xiao Zongting, and said, "Mr. Xiao, you must take care of yourself! The Yuanshun Escort Agency can't bear this heavy burden without you! I can't carry it alone!"

Xiao Zongting's lips trembled a few times, and he said, "Boss, don't worry, I won't die for a while! It's just that Bai Jiao passed away suddenly, and I'm a little injured..."

Ruan Fengshan sighed and said, "I watched Bai Jiao grow up... He is good in every way except that he has a bad fate!"

There was also some sadness in Ruan Fengshan's words!
