Longevity starts with learning

Chu Mu walked into the room. The once simple room had changed a lot. There were dozens of neatly stacked books on the table.

Among them were books from Mr. Li, and some medical books that Chu Mu got from the bookstore through connections.

Beside the bed, there was a row of medicine cabinets, which displayed various medicinal materials purchased by Chu Mu from Mingxin Hall. Of course, the quantity of each medicinal material was not much.

Its main function was to allow Chu Mu to better recognize and distinguish the appearance and types of medicinal materials and understand the medicinal properties of medicinal materials.

There was also a small stove on the bed, and a clay pot on the stove, which was mainly used to boil medicine.

Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs. In this medical system that uses herbs to match and treat with herbal properties, a doctor would never be able to use them well if he did not personally experience the medicinal properties of the herbs.

The same is true for the connection between medicine and martial arts.

And in this regard, Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs. This era undoubtedly has a unique advantage.

The cultivation of Qi and blood can make people clearly perceive any changes in the body, and naturally they can also clearly perceive the specific conditions of the medicinal properties.

Even if it is highly toxic, if there is some preparation, the gathering of Qi and blood can directly block the toxicity, and even directly expel the toxicity when a part of Qi and blood is consumed.

Of course, this premise is to be prepared, otherwise, if the toxicity spreads, there will be no way.

If there is such an advantage that is almost cheating in the previous life, it will undoubtedly envy a large number of Chinese medicine practitioners. Chinese medicine practitioners taste hundreds of herbs, but they cannot experience the medicinal properties so clearly.

Moreover, medicine is three-point poisonous. Tasting medicine means that the poison enters the body. It is hard to imagine how those doctors established a perfect system of Chinese medicine in the previous life without Qi and blood cultivation.

Chu Mu sighed inexplicably, picked up a medical book, and sat aside to read it.

He always gets up early, and there is still some time before going on duty, so Chu Mu will naturally not waste it.

Turning the pages of the book, using the famous saying of the previous life, is like absorbing knowledge like a sponge.

And the fact is indeed so.

Knowledge is power. Chu Mu has already experienced this.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chu Mu put down the medical book in his hand, picked up a bookmark made of leaves and clipped it to the page, picked up a few medical books, and walked out of the door.

It was late winter, the wind was cold, and the heavy snow had lasted for several days. The whole Nanshan Town seemed to be shrouded in the wind and snow again.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, most of them were in a hurry. Under the eaves on both sides, patrols could be seen from time to time to avoid the wind and snow. In the inn and wine shop, there was even more noise.

The big black dog named Wangcai by Chu Mu followed Chu Mu with his tail wagging. One person and one dog walked on the street in the wind and snow.

From a distance, you can clearly see the swaying corpse in the wind and snow. Perhaps it was because it was sucked into a mummy. After nearly a month, the corpse still maintained the appearance of a mummy and had not rotted at all.

The surroundings were still the same as usual, except that there had been no movement for more than half a month, and even the strictest vigilance was inevitably relaxed.

Chu Mu had long been accustomed to this kind of life, which was no different from his previous duty at the mine. He would find a place to sit and then... read a book.

"Wangcai, come here!"

Chu Mu walked to the steps under the eaves and sat down, then waved to Wangcai who was looking around.

The puppy was very human, and when Chu Mu called, he wagged his tail and ran over.

"Sit!"

Chu Mu pressed Wangcai's head, and the puppy immediately sat in front of Chu Mu obediently.

The reason for bringing the dog to work was simple. After all, people need to eat, and dogs also need to eat. Recently, Chu Mu has been running outside frequently, and he has no time to get food for the puppy, so it is better to let the puppy follow.

"Brother Mu."

Seeing Chu Mu coming, Xu Yuan also came over.

Chu Mu casually asked, "How is the practice?"

Xu Yuan leaned on the threshold and said listlessly, "It's not quite there yet. The main thing is that I can't calm down and I always have random thoughts."

"Brother Mu, do you think I don't have the talent for martial arts?"

"You felt the blood and qi the first time you practiced, but I've been trying for several days and still don't feel anything..."

"You're too impatient."

Chu Mu glanced at the listless Xu Yuan, pondered for a moment, and then said, "The practice of blood and qi lies in tranquility. How can you calm down when you are so impetuous?"

"Then don't try it these days. Read a book first, read it quietly for a few days, and then try it."

After speaking, Chu Mu ignored Xu Yuan's response and turned his eyes to the medical book in his hand. Long-term conscious concentration has long made Chu Mu develop the habit of calmness.

Soon, the chaos of the outside world was ignored by consciousness under this concentration. In his eyes and heart, there were only lines of words in the book.

In more than half a month, Chu Mu has read through more than ten medical books. The medical book he is holding now is the sixteenth one.

The most basic requirement for reading through is to memorize it fluently, and then to know the text and its meaning.

Chu Mu's idea is very simple, that is, to read, read more!

Medical skills are as complicated as the sea, so he reads all the medical books he can get his hands on, and makes the best use of its "spiritual blessing" to enrich his own medical knowledge.

When the medical theory is enriched to a very high level, it is a natural thing to gradually apply the theory to practice.

Chu Mu was concentrating on the book, and Xu Yuan was also immersed in the book. The surrounding patrols either gathered around the campfire in groups of three or two, or hid in the inns and wine shops on both sides of the street to eat and drink.

Everything was as usual. It seemed that they were on high alert, but in fact, most of them had become slack. The peace for more than half a month was enough to wipe out anyone's vigilance.

In fact, it seemed to be the case. In one day, Chu Mu quietly read a book for a day, and other patrols chatted for another day, but nothing happened.

At dusk, the wind and snow were still there. The patrol on duty arrived and took over the duty of the patrols. One day of duty and one day of idleness were over.

Chu Mu glanced at the corpse covered with wind and snow, his eyes moved slightly, but he couldn't help but think of the boy again.

There was no movement for more than half a month, which seemed to indicate that... those traitors really gave up revenge and gave up the body of their master.

"I hope..."

Chu Mu shook his head. It would be a good thing for him if he really gave up.

He has his own schedule for life now. If possible, he hopes that this peace can continue forever.

It would be best if the boy never appears again, and he never steps into the mine again...
