Longevity starts with learning

"Mummy?"

Chu Mu's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously thought of the people who were attacked and killed by the resentful spirits.

It seems that... except for the deputy thousand households and hundred households who were tortured and killed at the beginning, the rest, without exception, were all turned into mummies!

Although it is not clear what the blood pill is, just based on the instinctive reaction of the body and the behavior of the man in white who swallowed it in the end, the blood pill extracted from the corpse into a mummified corpse is obviously a treasure!

Or is it like the legendary panacea that can improve cultivation?

Chu Mu lowered his head and didn't look at it anymore, but he was thinking secretly.

Bang!

Then, there was a dull sound, and Chu Mu also clearly saw the mummies thrown on the ground from the corner of his eyes.

The man in white did not stay, and walked towards the town.

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

It seemed... he wanted him to keep kneeling at all times...

The inspectors breathed a sigh of relief until the figure of the man in white completely disappeared from their sight.

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

It can be clearly seen that Li Jinghong's face was pale, but there was no abnormal expression between his eyebrows, as if what happened just now had not happened.

As always, he was so high and mighty, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Hang... cough cough cough... hang the body up..."

Li Jinghong seemed to be seriously injured, and he couldn't speak clearly.

After giving a difficult order, Li Jinghong didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly shook off the support of the inspector beside him, and staggered towards the direction of the man in white.

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

I don't know whether I was shocked by Li Jinghong's embarrassed appearance just now, or by the man in white's beyond cognition.

Or... I was shocked by the almost identical mummy...

After a long time, two inspectors came forward and hung the mummy again on the archway.

The atmosphere was still dull, with different expressions, most of them were silent.

Chu Mu stared at the hideous mummy in a daze, and an indescribable fear surged in his heart.

The man in white at the moment was refining the dead mysterious old man into elixir...

Then...the boy in black...was it for the growth of the resentful soul...or was it like the man in white, to refine the elixir and swallow it?

Although they all devoured living people and regarded human life as worthless, these are undoubtedly two concepts!

If we think about it more deeply, will the higher level of transcendence...cannibalism be a matter of course?

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 like grass, not worth mentioning.

In the past life, even in the feudal dynasties, officials from top to bottom in Qinghe County would have been confiscated and exterminated by the court.

However, the order of Qinghe County remained as stable as Mount Tai despite the civil unrest.

This clearly shows that the higher-ups don't care about the lives of ordinary people.

This higher-ups... is the county city, the Great Chu court... it should also be the Nanshan Li family, the mysterious and extraordinary world that Chu Mu guessed.

While thinking, Chu Mu was suddenly stunned.

According to what Li Jinghong said just now, the man in white was a patrol sent by the higher-ups?

But if he remembered correctly, the cause of the incident should be that the patrol from above was about to arrive, and Li Jinghong was forced to go into the mountains to suppress the rebellion regardless of anything, which led to the current situation.

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

In other words, the man in white came here for a purpose other than the things in Qili Village.

At present, what the man in white did was just incidental.

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

Chu Mu remembered clearly that when the news came out, it caused quite a stir, and many inspectors were busy cleaning up.

Chu Mu frowned and subconsciously looked in the direction of the mine. According to the current understanding, the thousands of corvées have been working non-stop for decades, and I don’t know how much manpower and material resources have been consumed to produce the mineral materials, which obviously have all fallen into the hands of the Nanshan Li family.

Then this so-called inspection...

Chu Mu’s eyebrows seemed to have a trace of worry.

There are traitors who manipulate the resentful souls outside, and there are Li family white-clothed people who don’t know good from evil inside...

This world... is difficult!

Chu Mu sat against the stone pillar of the archway, silent.

Beside him, Xu Yuan was studying hard in the flickering firelight, just like Chu Mu who was studying hard before.

The surrounding patrols, surrounding the mummy swaying in the wind, mostly gathered in groups of three or two, sitting or standing, whispering.

What no one knew was that the shadow of fear that enveloped them, the black shadow of the resentful soul, had already emerged in the corner of the wall only a hundred meters away from them.

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

"Xiu boy, don't be impulsive!"

In the darkness, a big hand grabbed the boy's shoulder and spoke anxiously.

"What do you want me to do? Am I going to be a coward?"

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

The boy's eyes were bloodshot, and he could no longer suppress his anger and grief, and he almost burst into a low roar.

In the darkness, the strong man comforted the boy:

"I want revenge too!"

"But none of us are that man's opponents!"

"With that man's cultivation, he can get here in a few breaths!"

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

The woman next to him also said: "Yes, Xiao Xiu, let's go back first and make a long-term plan."

"Xiao Xiu, didn't you say that you have the master's inheritance for us? Let's go back first..."

In the darkness, you said something, and I said something, and the boy's already bloodshot eyes slowly recovered.

The boy was silent, and the resentful soul shadow, which was only a hundred meters away from Chu Mu and other patrolmen, also slowly disappeared.

In a flash, the resentful soul shadow appeared beside the boy, and then it also sank into the boy's body.

The boy groaned, and his face turned a little pale in an instant, but it was not too obvious in the darkness.

However, as the shadow of the resentful spirit sank into the boy's body, several more blood-colored pills appeared in his hand.

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

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