Longevity starts with learning

"People's hearts are not enough!"

Chu Mu took a long breath. Not long ago, he was still working hard for the real kung fu he dreamed of.

In a short period of time, after witnessing a higher level of transcendence, the first practice of Qi and Blood cultivation suddenly felt a bit unsatisfactory.

Take a step, take a look.

Chu Mu could only comfort himself in this way.

In just a few months after coming to this world, the most mysterious layer of the world has been unveiled, which is already quite good.

He is still young and has a long life ahead of him.

After thinking about it, the indescribable contradictions and complications disappeared, and the depression that had been shrouded for a long time dissipated with the arrival of the man in white.

The suppressed fatigue finally surged into his heart uncontrollably. Now Chu Mu had nothing to worry about. He was too lazy to clean up the messy bedroom. He walked directly into the guest room that had not been cleaned for a long time, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

During this sleep, I slept until dark. Perhaps the situation in the town was under control. No one came to disturb me during this sleep. There was no unusual movement in the town that was only separated by a wall.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Chu Mu woke up from his sleep. After getting some food to fill his stomach, Chu Mu went out and walked towards the north of the town.

Contrary to Chu Mu's expectation, after he fell asleep, the heavily guarded scene in the town did not change at all. Even at the archway in the north of the town, it was still heavily guarded.

The corpse hanging on the archway is still swaying in the wind.

It seemed that the integrity of the corpse was destroyed by the autopsy. One day after the corpse was exposed, Chu Mu even smelled the faint stench of decay floating in the air.

What I saw along the way undoubtedly clearly stated a fact.

That is, the situation has not been as smooth as Chu Mu suspected. Perhaps the man in white returned without success, or perhaps there are other threatening fish that slipped through the net.

Chu Mu silently guessed, and at the same time asked other patrol inspectors. After learning that no traitor had been caught, the details were undoubtedly very clear.

"Brother Mu!"

While Chu Mu was thinking about it, the familiar shout brought Chu Mu back to reality from his thoughts.

Chu Mu was slightly curious: "Where did your kid go this day?"

"Brother Mu, didn't you say that you need to learn the knowledge of meridians and acupuncture points to practice martial arts? So I went to Mingxintang and paid the money and learned from Mr. Li for a day..."

"You're pretty fast, kid!"

Chu Mu was surprised. He found that Xu Yuan, a boy who looked unreliable, was really a bit vigorous when it came to doing things.

Xu Yuan scratched his head and smiled: "I don't want to practice martial arts well as soon as possible..."

"You have to practice martial arts well."

Chu Mu nodded. He obviously agreed with this point.

Just like Wu Shuo said to him before, in this world, only martial arts has a way out.

Looking back now, this sentence is indeed the truth.

After all, based on all the information currently known, it is not difficult to see that this Chu Dynasty may really be just a puppet.

Even if you are named on the gold medal list, what's the point of not being able to tie a chicken?

If this Qi and blood practice is really the entry point to a better level of transcendence, as Chu Mu guessed, then this martial arts practice is truly the only way out for ordinary people in this world.

"Qianhu!"

"Qianhu!"

Respectful voices rang out one after another. Chu Mu looked up and saw Li Jinghong striding towards him, surrounded by his personal guards.

But the difference from the past is that there is a figure in front of Li Jinghong, and Li Jinghong, who used to be aloof, is now like a man, following this figure respectfully.

Dressed in white, he was undoubtedly very eye-catching. This man was obviously a member of the Nanshan Li family that Chu Mu saw at noon.

"Master Li is an inspection envoy sent by the county government. Why don't you pay your respects to your Excellency quickly?"

The man in white looked at the hanging corpse of the old man with great interest, and Li Jinghong, who looked like a loser at the side, couldn't wait to speak out.

"This is a humble job, sir!"

Upon hearing this, all the inspectors quickly bowed and greeted.

The man in white didn't even look at it. He stepped forward lightly, but as if he had shrunk to an inch, he crossed the distance of several feet out of thin air and arrived directly under the archway.

The man in white stretched out his hand, and the hanging rope instantly collapsed, and the body fell. It should have fallen to the ground, but in the end it was strangely suspended in front of the man in white.

But at this moment, the man in white frowned, and there was obviously a bit of dissatisfaction between his brows.

"You dissected it?"

The man in white looked at Li Jinghong. Although his tone was calm, the meaning of the question was undoubtedly very clear.

This short sentence made Li Jinghong's face turn pale instantly. This Qianhu who had controlled the fate of countless people in Qinghe County actually knelt down on the ground with a pop at this moment.

"The younger one is guilty. The younger one just wanted to help the family..."

"snort!"

Before Li Jinghong could say anything, the man in white snorted coldly and raised his hand. Li Jinghong, who was kneeling on the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood and flew several feet away like garbage being swept away.

Li Jinghong rolled several times on the ground, spilling blood all over the ground. Li Jinghong was obviously severely injured, but he did not dare to stop. After getting up, he quickly knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"If you fail to succeed, you will fail. You are a waste!"

The man in white glanced at Li Jinghong with disgust, but did not make any move. Instead, he looked at the corpse still suspended in front of him again.

Under such changes, Li Jinghong kowtowed to the ground, trembling, but dared not make a sound. Needless to say, those who were on the scene had already been watching their noses and hearts, and dared not breathe.

Nothing was seen, nothing was heard.

The man in white did not stop his movements. He raised his hand and waved, muttering something, and then, a faint fluorescence appeared on the suspended corpse.

As the man in white muttered something, the originally pale white fluorescence turned scarlet with the naked eye. Not far away, Chu Mu even smelled a strong smell of blood.

As time passed, the blood-red light slowly shrank and condensed, and finally turned into a pill the size of a pigeon egg.

The pill was blood red, and golden threads could be vaguely seen. The strong smell of blood also dissipated instantly. Indistinctly, Chu Mu even smelled a trace of strange fragrance.

At the moment of smelling this strange fragrance, Chu Mu suddenly felt an indescribable desire in his heart, and the blood and qi in his body suddenly surged.

This desire came from the whole body, from the blood and qi flowing around the body.

This desire... seemed to be... to swallow the pill in front of him?

Before Chu Mu had time to think about it, he saw the man in white raised his hand and flipped it, and the blood-colored golden pill sank into the man in white's mouth.

That indescribable desire disappeared completely with the disappearance of the pill.

Chu Mu realized that the corpse that should have been lifelike had turned into... a mummy?
