Chapter 68 Pills
"A corpse?"

Chu Mu's pupils narrowed slightly, subconsciously thinking of those people who were attacked by resentful spirits and died.

It seems... Except for those vice-thousands and hundreds of households who were tortured and killed at the beginning, the rest, without exception, were all turned into mummies!

Although I don't know what the blood-colored pill is, but judging from the body's instinctive reaction and the behavior of the man in white who finally swallowed it, the blood-colored pill extracted from the corpse into a mummified corpse is obviously a treasure!

Or is it like the panacea in the legend, which can improve one's cultivation?

Chu Mu lowered his head and didn't look any further, but he was thinking secretly.

boom!
Immediately, only a dull sound was heard, and from the corner of his eye, Chu Mu also clearly saw the mummy thrown on the ground.

The man in white didn't linger, he took a step forward and headed towards the town.

None of the inspectors dared to speak out, only Li Jinghong, who was kneeling on the ground, moved his body as the man in white walked forward.

It seems... that he wants to keep himself in the direction of kneeling all the time...

It wasn't until the figure of the man in white completely disappeared from sight that the inspectors heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, only the inspector quickly stepped forward and helped Li Jinghong up.

It can be clearly seen that Li Jinghong's face is pale, but there is no abnormal expression on his brows, as if what happened just now didn't happen.

As always, he is as high and high as ever, and he can't see what he is thinking.

"Hold...cough cough cough...hang the corpse up..."

It seemed that he was seriously injured, and Li Jinghong was a little awkward in speaking.

With a difficult order, Li Jinghong didn't care about other things, he quickly threw off the support of the patrol inspector, and staggered towards the man in white clothes step by step.

All the inspectors looked at each other, and the deathly silence continued.

I don't know whether it was shocked by Li Jinghong's distressed appearance just now, or the shock of the man in white clothes beyond his knowledge.

Or... was horrified by this almost identical mummy...

After a long time, two inspectors stepped forward and hung the mummified corpse on the archway again.

The atmosphere was still dull, and under the different expressions, most of them remained silent.

Chu Mu stared blankly at the already ferocious mummy, feeling an indescribable fear welling up in his heart.

The man in white right now is refining the dead mysterious old man into a pill...

So...that black-clothed boy...was it for the growth of the resentful soul...or, like the white-clothed man, he swallowed it to make a pill?
Although they all devour living people and regard human life as worthless, these are undoubtedly two concepts!
Associating at a deeper level, the higher level of transcendence... Is it natural for people to eat people?

Chu Mu didn't know, but what he saw and heard in this world for several months clearly explained one thing.

That is, life is worthless, not worth mentioning.

People like Qinghe County wantonly oppressed the people, and the officials forced the people to rebel again and again. In the previous life, even in those feudal dynasties, it is estimated that the officials in Qinghe County would have been ransacked and exterminated by the court.

However, the order in Qinghe County is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Among them, it clearly shows the existence of a higher level, and does not care about the lives of ordinary people.

This upper level...is the county town, the court of Great Chu...it should also be the Li family in Nanshan, the mysterious and extraordinary world that Chu Mu guessed.

While contemplating, Chu Mu was suddenly taken aback.

According to what Li Jinghong said just now, the man in white was sent by the higher authorities to inspect?
But if he remembered correctly, the cause of the incident should be that the inspection from above was about to come, and Li Jinghong was forced to enter the mountain to suppress the rebellion, which caused the current situation.

It's not that... the situation is out of control, Li Jinghong reported it, which led to the appearance of the man in white.

In other words, the purpose of the arrival of the white-clothed man was not for these matters in Qili Village.

Right now, what the man in white is doing is just incidental.

Its real purpose... seems to be to inspect the mine?

Chu Mu remembered clearly that when the news first came out, it caused quite a commotion, and many inspections were busy wiping their butts.

Chu Mu frowned, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the mine. According to what he knew so far, the mineral materials produced by these thousands of corvees for decades of continuous labor, which consumed an unknown amount of manpower and material resources, were obviously all in the hands of the Li family in Nanshan.

Then this so-called inspection...

Between Chu Mu's brows, there seemed to be a hint of worry.

There are traitors manipulating resentful souls on the outside, and white clothes from the Li family who don't know what is right or wrong inside...

This world... is difficult!

Chu Mu sat leaning on the stone pillars of the archway, silent.

Beside him, Xu Yuan immersed himself in his studies by the flickering firelight, just like Chu Mu who immersed himself in his studies before.

As for the surrounding inspections, around the mummy swaying in the wind, most of them gathered in twos and threes, sitting or standing, whispering.

What no one knew was that the shadow of fear covering them, the black shadow of resentful souls, had already appeared in the corner of the wall less than a hundred meters away from them.

Under the cover of darkness, the black shadow and the darkness merged into one, and even if you looked around, it was difficult to detect the slightest abnormality.

"Boy Xiu, don't be impulsive!"

In the darkness, a big hand grabbed the young man's shoulder and made a sound eagerly.

"What do you want me to do? Do you still want to be a shrinking turtle?"

"That bastard sucked the master's body into a mummy!"

The young man's eyes were scarlet, and he could no longer hold back his suppressed anger and grief, and he drank in a low voice almost like an explosion.

In the darkness, the strong man comforted the boy:

"I want revenge too!"

"But neither of us is that person's opponent!"

"With that person's cultivation base, he can rush over in a few breaths!"

"If we rush out, we will die in vain!"

The woman on the side also followed suit: "That's right, Xiaoxiu, let's go back first, and then discuss the long-term plan."

"Xiaoxiu, didn't you say that there is a master's inheritance to give us, let's go back first..."

In the darkness, with your words and my words, the boy's already scarlet eyes slowly regained clarity.

The young man remained silent, and the black shadow of the resentful soul, who was no more than a hundred meters away from Chu Mu's inspections, also slowly disappeared.

In an instant, the black shadow of the resentful soul appeared beside the young man, and then submerged into the young man's body.

The young man let out a muffled snort, and his face turned pale for a moment, but it wasn't too obvious in the darkness.

However, as the black shadow of the resentful soul sank into the young man's body, several blood-colored pills appeared in the young man's hand.

If Chu Mu was here, he would be able to see that this bloody pill was very similar to the pill condensed by the man in white.

It's just that the pill is a little smaller, and there is no golden thread on the surface of the pill.
