"Mummy?"
Chu Mu's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously thought of the people who had been attacked and killed by the resentful spirits.
It seems...except for the first few who were tortured and killed, all the others, without exception, were turned into mummies!
Although it is not clear what the bloody pill is, judging from the instinctive reaction of the body and the final swallowing behavior of the man in white, the bloody pill refined from turning the corpse into a mummy is obviously a treasure!
Or is it like those legendary panaceas that can improve one's cultivation?
Chu Mu lowered his head and didn't look any further, but he was thinking to himself secretly.
boom!
Immediately, there was only a dull sound, and out of the corner of his eye, Chu Mu could clearly see 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 make a sound. Only Li Jinghong, who was kneeling on the ground, moved his body as the man in white moved forward.
It seems that... he wants to keep himself in the direction of kneeling and worshiping at all times...
It wasn't until the figure of the man in white completely disappeared from sight that the inspectors breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, 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 between his brows, as if what just happened did not happen.
He was as aloof as ever and couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Hang...ahem...hang the body up..."
It seemed that Li Jinghong was seriously injured, and Li Jinghong was having trouble speaking.
After giving the difficult instructions, Li Jinghong didn't care about anything else. He quickly threw away the support from the patrolman and staggered towards the direction of the man in white.
All the inspectors looked at each other, and the deathly silence continued.
I don't know whether he was shocked by Li Jinghong's embarrassed appearance just now, or whether he was shocked by the man in white's methods beyond his cognition.
Or... he was horrified by the almost identical mummy...
After a long time, two inspectors came forward and hung the mummified body on the archway again.
The atmosphere was still dull, with different expressions on their faces, but most of them remained silent.
Chu Mu stared blankly at the already ferocious mummy, feeling an indescribable fear in his heart.
The man in white right now is refining the dead mysterious old man into a pill...
Then...the young man in black...is he trying to grow the resentful soul...or is he trying to refine the elixir and swallow it like the man in white?
Although they all devour living people and regard human life as trivial, these are undoubtedly two concepts!
If you think about it at a deeper level, the higher level of transcendence... is it natural for people to eat people?
Chu Mu didn't know, but after coming to this world for several months, what he saw and heard clearly explained one thing.
That is, life is like a piece of grass, not worth mentioning.
Like Qinghe County, which wantonly squeezed the people and 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 had their homes confiscated and exterminated by the imperial court.
However, the order in Qinghe County remains as stable as Mount Tai despite repeated civil unrest.
This clearly shows that there is a higher-level existence that does not care about the lives of ordinary people.
This higher level... is the county town, the Chu imperial court... it should also be the Nanshan Li family, the mysterious and extraordinary world that Chu Mu guessed.
While thinking deeply, Chu Mu was suddenly stunned.
According to what Li Jinghong said just now, the man in white was sent to patrol from above?
But if he remembered correctly, the cause of the matter should be that the inspection from above was about to come, and Li Jinghong was forced to go into the mountain to quell the rebellion without any hesitation, which caused the current situation.
Rather than saying... the situation was out of control, Li Jinghong reported it, which led to the appearance of the man in white.
In other words, the purpose of the man in white's arrival was not to do these things in Qili Village.
At the moment, what the man in white is doing is just incidental.
Its real purpose... seems to be to inspect the mines?
Chu Mu remembered clearly that after the news came out, it caused quite a stir, 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 who had worked continuously for decades and spent an unknown amount of manpower and material resources had obviously arrived. In the hands of the Nanshan Li family.
Then this so-called inspection...
A look of worry appeared between Chu Mu's brows.
There are traitors outside who control resentful souls, and inside there are white clothes from the Li family who don’t know good and evil...
This world is...difficult!
Chu Mu sat leaning against the stone pillars of the archway and remained silent.
Beside him, Xu Yuan was immersed in reading under the flickering light of the fire, just like Chu Mu who was immersed in reading before.
Most of the patrols around the mummy swaying in the wind gathered in twos and threes, sitting or standing, whispering.
What no one knew was that the shadow of fear that shrouded them, the dark shadow of a resentful soul, had already appeared in the corner of the wall less than a hundred meters away from them.
Under the cover of darkness, the shadows blended into the darkness. Even if you looked at it, it would be difficult to detect any abnormalities.
"Xiu boy, don't be impulsive!"
In the darkness, a big hand grabbed the young man's shoulder and spoke urgently.
"What do you want me to do? Do I still want to be a coward?"
"That beast 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, so he drank almost explosively.
In the darkness, the strong man comforted the young man:
"I want revenge too!"
"But none of us are that person's opponent!"
"With that person's level of cultivation, he can come here in just a few breaths!"
"If we rush out, we will die in vain!"
The woman on the side also said: "Yes, Xiao Xiu, let's go back first and then discuss the matter further."
"Xiao Xiu, didn't you say that you have a master's inheritance that you want to pass on to us? Let's go back first..."
In the darkness, with your words and my words, the young man's already scarlet eyes slowly regained their clarity.
The young man was silent, and the dark shadows of resentful souls that were no more than a hundred meters away from Chu Mu and the patrols slowly disappeared.
In an instant, the dark shadow of the resentful soul appeared beside the young man, and then, it also disappeared into the young man's body.
The young man snorted, and his face instantly turned pale, but in this darkness, it was not obvious.
However, as the shadow of the resentful soul disappeared into the young man's body, several more bloody pills appeared in the young man's hand.
If Chu Mu were here, he would definitely be able to see that this bloody pill is very similar to the pill condensed by the man in white.
It's just that the pill is a little smaller, and there are no golden threads on the surface of the pill.
