That night, along with the stretches of ruins, Nanshan Town, the only hotel operating an inn business, received a rare wave of business from guests.
Some brought their families with them, and some, like Chu Mu, carried all their belongings, as if they were fleeing.
Teams of people were patrolling the streets, cleaning up the ruins, or going to various funeral sites to perform the despised act of opening coffins and conducting autopsy.
This night, Nanshan Town was noisy again.
Chu Mu stood in front of the window, looking at the hustle and bustle on the street, but couldn't help but sigh.
A mine has doomed Nanshan Town, and even Qinghe County as a whole, to be almost impossible to live in peace for eternity.
A place of right and wrong.
This skin can save him from a lot of troubles, but it can also irresistibly involve him in many turmoils.
"Greedy...still too greedy..."
Chu Mu took a long breath. At the moment, all the troubles were only due to his own greed.
Otherwise, judging from the current situation, it would not be difficult for him to find an excuse to leave the place of right and wrong. It could even be said to be easy.
After all, he was too greedy and refused to let go of even a single thought.
Chu Mu slowly released his palm, placing the fluorescent jade piece in his palm.
After staring blankly for a moment, Chu Mu looked away, took a deep breath, and held the jade piece tightly in his hand again.
Chu Mu moved his eyes, but he never looked at the hustle and bustle on the street, but at the three-story pavilion diagonally opposite.
That is...Mingxintang!
After freezing for a moment, Chu Mu moved his eyes again, but looked at the pile of medical books at his feet.
Among the dozen or so medical books, only nine were obtained from Mingxintang, and nearly half of the remaining ones were purchased by Chu Mu from various channels.
After studying medicine for more than half a month, after accumulating a certain degree of medical vision, it is not difficult to find that although they are both medical books, there is a big difference between Mingxintang's medical books and the medical books he bought from the outside world.
The contents of each volume of the medical books that Mr. Li gave him, regardless of the medical content, were extremely detailed.
Just like a medicinal material, a ginseng plant, in other medical books, may at most describe its medicinal properties, and then add the place where it grows, etc., which must be extremely general.
The medical book given by Mr. Li also describes a ginseng plant, but its content is extremely detailed and well-founded.
The properties of the medicine, the conditions under which the properties will change, and the relationship between the medicine and the human body, its benefits and harms, are all extremely detailed.
A little, a small amount, appropriate... Such ambiguous words are very common in other medical books, but they do not exist at all in the medical books given by Mr. Li.
Each medical book is like... just like a report compiled after countless experiments.
Scientific, rigorous and evidence-based!
Everything shows that these medical books and this knowledge cannot be born from the world he sees now.
And Mr. Li's recent words... also express this point appropriately.
Chu Mu was very concerned about Mr. Li's identity, which contained his greed and expectations.
But Chu Mu was more concerned about the extraordinary world revealed by these.
That extraordinary world above seemed... different from what he imagined...
…
Sleepless night.
In the early morning of the next day, Nanshan Town finally returned to calm. Chu Mu closed his eyes slightly, his mind clear, and his blood and energy were slowly flowing around his body.
The windows were left open all night, and the surging chill kept pouring into the room. Under the warmth of the blood circulation, strands of hot steam steamed around Chu Mu's body, which was quite magical.
It wasn't until the morning sun rose that the first ray of sunlight passed through the window and gave Chu Mu a golden glow all over his body. Chu Mu slowly opened his eyes.
He walked to the window. The height of the second floor was enough to overlook most of Nanshan Town. The golden rays of the morning sun shone on the roof ridges, and the white snow that had not yet melted reflected the dazzling light. Nanshan Town in the early morning was already a bit chaotic.
Just across the street from Mingxintang, the door had been opened, and Chu Mu could even see the busy apprentices.
After staring for a moment, Chu Mu withdrew his gaze, walked to the stove in the room, put away the medical books that had been baked all night, took out two more and put them in his arms, and then walked out of the guest room of the inn.
The inn in the early morning was originally the gathering place for the recent surge in inspections in Nanshan Town. Now there are more than ten families with nowhere to go. The inn this early in the morning is undoubtedly extremely lively.
After ordering a bowl of hot noodle soup and finishing the meal, Chu Mu went straight to Mingxintang without stopping at the inn.
As for his ruined home, Chu Mu didn't pay much attention.
There are so many families involved, including many powerful people. The He family is about to be destroyed. As long as they don't want to be completely destroyed, it is impossible not to do a good job in dealing with the aftermath.
"Mr. Li."
"coming……"
Seeing Chu Mu walking in, Mr. Li raised his head and glanced at Chu Mu, then pointed to several large sacks piled up next to the counter: "A new batch of medicinal materials arrived last night. Go and sort them."
"good."
Chu Mu responded, hesitated for a moment, and then walked up to Mr. Li.
Mr. Li put down his pen and looked at Chu Mu: "What's the matter?"
Chu Mu asked tentatively: "Mr. Li, do you know that He San of the He family died and was resurrected last night, and the mummy caused chaos?"
Mr. Li frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking slowly:
"It is not unusual for people to be killed by resentful spirits, their bodies contaminated with Yin Qi, and then resurrected from the dead and turned into living corpses to cause chaos."
Yin energy, living corpse...
Chu Mu pondered these two new terms, and seeing that Mr. Li had no intention of avoiding them, he boldly asked:
"If a corpse is contaminated with Yin Qi, will it definitely turn into a living corpse?"
Mr. Li shook his head: "There is a certain chance."
Chu Mu asked again: "May I ask Mr. Li, what factors affect the probability that a corpse will be resurrected and turned into a living corpse if it is contaminated with Yin Qi?"
"There are many factors involved."
"For example, the climate at the time of death, the environment in which the body was placed after death, and the concentration of infected Yin Qi. Of course, the most important thing is whether the body was alive..."
Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly. Mr. Li chuckled, and then changed the topic: "These are all too far away for ordinary people."
"Many things will come into contact naturally when you should be exposed to them. When you shouldn't be exposed to them, it's better not to pry into them."
"Brother Mu, you are new to Qi and Blood Cultivation. You should be pure in mind and don't aim too high."
With such words, Chu Mu secretly sighed that it was a pity, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"Mu... got a lesson."
Chu Mu cupped his hands and knew what was going on. He didn't ask any more questions. He walked aside and sorted out the various medicinal materials according to Mr. Li's instructions...
