"I've rebelled!"
"You still dare to tell me to get lost?"
"Go to hell for me..."
The trees want to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop.
The courtyard gate can isolate the hustle and bustle of the outside world, but it cannot isolate the sweeping disorder.
Hearing the noise coming from the street, Chu Mu's still somewhat leisurely mood dissipated.
Chu Mu raised his head and looked in the direction of the mine. He fixed his gaze for a moment before looking at Wangcai, who had already stood up alertly.
"Wangcai, come here!"
Chu Mu called out, and the bastard immediately ran over.
After putting away the dried medicinal materials and moving them from the courtyard into the room, Chu Mu put on his inspection clothes and armor and grabbed the saber hanging on the side.
"Stay inside and don't make any noise."
Chu Mu rubbed the dog's head, and didn't care whether the dog could understand or not, he closed the door and returned to the courtyard again.
Without going out, Chu Mu sat on the steps in front of the door, silently listening to the goings on outside the courtyard.
Just by listening to the noise coming from the outside world, it seems that one can tell how much chaos Nanshan Town has fallen into.
With so many inspections, the corvee forces of the civil uprising were defeated?
Chu Mu didn't believe it. If nothing else, even if the Nanshan Li family's immortal cultivator was not there, Li Jinghong's rock-breaking cultivation would never let the situation get out of control.
In other words, are they just escaped remnants causing trouble?
Chu Mu had a guess in his mind, but he still didn't move at all.
If possible, he naturally hopes that the noise from the outside world will not disturb him.
In this way, it is better for both parties.
Time passed little by little, and in the end, it was counterproductive.
"Open the door! Open the door!"
"Open the door for me now, or I'll kill your whole family!"
Shouting came from outside the door, followed by a rough kick on the door.
Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, he stood up and walked to the courtyard door, paused for a moment, and then took the initiative to open the block behind the door.
The courtyard door, which was still closed, lost the support of the blocking wood and was violently kicked open in an instant.
At the same time, seven or eight ragged men outside the door also appeared in Chu Mu's field of vision.
The humility of the past is gone, and it is full of unspeakable madness and... the success of a villain?
Chu Mu was not sure, but it didn't hinder anything.
He didn't want to get involved in this muddy water, and he didn't want to figure out who was right and who was wrong.
But that doesn't mean that he will remain indifferent if people bully him.
Clang!
Pulling the sword out of its sheath, the sword's light under the scorching sun was so bright that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.
Under the reflected light of the sword, the blade fell with great force, causing a head to roll and a headless corpse to burst with blood.
The combination of the sword technique for entering the palace and the nearly doubled strength due to Qi and Blood cultivation is inconspicuous in Nanshan Town, where the immortal cultivator appears.
But this is inconspicuous, and that is only relative to immortal cultivators.
Not to mention facing these corvees that the dealers didn't know how to do, even when facing Li Gang, who once shocked him, Chu Mu didn't feel that there was much difference between him and Li Gang.
Without saying a word, one blow after another, one head after another rolled, and in just a few breaths, the brand new courtyard entrance was completely stained with a layer of blood red!
Chu Mu jumped up, like plucking onions on dry land, and the next second, he appeared on the eaves of the door.
The tip of the knife was still bleeding, drop by drop. Chu Mu climbed up and looked into the distance. Most of the town came into view clearly.
Burning, killing, looting, fires and chaos can be seen everywhere!
Under the mentality of breaking the jar and throwing it away, the evil of human nature is undoubtedly displayed vividly!
Chu Mu frowned, and then looked in the direction of Mingxintang. The three-story pavilion stood tall, and the doors and windows were closed. The strange thing was that it was so conspicuous that no one came close.
Even people who were burning, killing and looting could be seen passing by, but they seemed to turn a blind eye.
"The methods of cultivating immortals..."
Chu Mu was thoughtful, and then he looked away. Only a yard away, several rioters had already rushed into the yard where the little widow was.
Turning his eyes again and observing the surrounding situation again, Chu Mu jumped up again. With the surging strength, he jumped easily between the ridges of the courtyard wall and the roof. In a few steps, the sword light reappeared!
The blade of the knife penetrated straight into a man's chest, breaking the bones of the chest. Only when the tip of the knife emerged from the back did the long knife pull out fiercely.
The man fell to the ground suddenly, and his heel slammed into the man's neck. There was only a crisp click, and the man suddenly lost his breath.
When Chu Mu landed on the ground, the blood-stained blade still did not stop. He raised the knife and dropped it. In just a few breaths, the few rioters who rushed into the house fell into a pool of blood.
The little widow's pretty face was pale and still stained with tears, as if she had not yet reacted to such a sudden change.
"Thank you, sir, for saving my life."
After a while, the little widow timidly bowed to Chu Mu, not even daring to look at Chu Mu.
But at this moment, Chu Mu turned a deaf ear, his eyes fixed on Mingxintang diagonally opposite.
The three-story pavilion cannot be blocked by a low courtyard wall at all. In the field of vision, one of the closed windows on the second floor of Mingxin Hall is now open.
Mr. Li's figure was clearly visible, and beside Mr. Li, there was a strange man standing side by side!
With just one glance, Chu Mu immediately withdrew his gaze, neither looking nor daring to look any further.
The context seems to be clear.
Mingxintang, there really is another person!
That medical book he "lost" yesterday...
Chu Mu thought silently, if a strange man can stand side by side with Mr. Li, then he is also...an immortal cultivator?
Even greater doubts also appeared in Chu Mu's mind.
In this case, his guess seems to be inaccurate.
He originally thought that Mr. Li lived here in seclusion. After all, a cultivator had stayed in this small town for more than ten or twenty years and lived like ordinary people. Apart from living in seclusion, there seemed to be no other possibility.
But now, another immortal cultivator appears?
Why is this small Nanshan town so attractive...
Thinking of this, Chu Mu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the mine.
The scene of hundreds of ice sculptures, the indescribable chill...
With all kinds of thoughts flowing and vague speculations emerging, Chu Mu's expression suddenly became a little uncertain.
"Master?"
Seeing Chu Mu's uncertain expression, the little widow called out worriedly.
Chu Mu looked at the timid little widow, and his originally unspeakable mood calmed down a little.
"It's the corvees in the mines who are causing trouble. There are a lot of inspections in the town and they are already suppressing it."
"Close the door and find a place to hide. It shouldn't take long before everything is fine."
Without saying a word, Chu Mu jumped up and stepped onto the roof again without stopping.
Chu Mu glanced at the mine that had been classified as a forbidden area in his heart, pondered for a while, and then decisively ran towards the direction of the mine...
