"People's hearts are so weak!"
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 to practice martial arts, you need to learn the knowledge of meridians and acupuncture points, so I went to Mingxintang to pay the money and studied with 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 what 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 might 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, and Chu Mu looked up, only to see 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 conspicuous. 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. 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 a distance of ten 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. 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 more dissatisfaction between his brows.
"Did you do the dissection?"
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 seriously 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 take action again. Instead, he looked at the body still suspended in front of him again.
Under such a change, Li Jinghong kowtowed to the ground, shivering, but did not dare to make a sound. Needless to say, there was no need to say more when he was on patrol. Everyone had already watched with eyes, nose, and heart, and did not dare to express their anger.
Saw nothing, heard nothing.
The man in white didn't stop. He raised his hand and muttered something. Then, a faint fluorescent light appeared on the suspended body.
As the man in white murmured, the originally light white fluorescence turned scarlet visibly to the naked eye. Not far away, Chu Mu could even smell the strong smell of blood.
As time passed, the blood-like scarlet light slowly shrank and condensed, and finally turned into a pill the size of a pigeon egg.
The pill was blood red all over, and golden threads were faintly visible. The thick smell of blood also dissipated instantly. Chu Mu even vaguely smelled a strange fragrance.
The moment he smelled this strange fragrance, inexplicably, Chu Mu's heart suddenly surged with an indescribable desire, and the energy and blood all over his body surged inexplicably.
This desire comes from the whole body, from the blood flowing around the body.
This desire... seems to be... wanting to devour the pill in front of me?
Before Chu Mu had time to think about it, he saw the man in white raise his hand and turn over it, and the bloody golden pill fell into the mouth of the man in white.
That indescribable desire disappeared completely as the pill disappeared.
Only then did Chu Mu realize that the corpse that was supposed to be lifelike had turned into... a mummy?
