"Get over here!"
"Get in quickly!"
"If you don't go, you die!"
The rumors about Mine No. 19 are obviously not a secret to most inspections.
At the bottom of the mine, there was still some distance from the designated mining area No. 19. The inspections that were originally escorted suddenly stopped.
The blade was unsheathed, and the shining blade, accompanied by the sound of shouting, intimidated the corvees into the No. 19 mining area.
Chu Mu had stopped a long time ago, watching all of this indifferently, without any fluctuation in his expression.
"Sir, have mercy on the poor little one!"
"The younger one is older than the younger one, and there are eight people in the family, and they all count on the younger one!"
An old corvee knelt down in front of him, grabbing Chu Mu's trousers and begging bitterly.
Chu Mu had a good memory, so he could naturally recognize that the old corvee in front of him was the old man who had made small requests to him many times when he was working in the mine.
At this time of year, according to common sense, this old man should have completed half a year of corvee...
The reason is obviously not difficult to see.
The old man begged, and Chu Mu stared at the poor old man in front of him indifferently, without words or even comfort.
"Team upright!"
"Brother Mu!"
Several inspectors on the side stepped forward without making any move, as if they were waiting for Chu Mu's order.
Chu Mu waved his hand, obviously a little uninterested.
"Walk!"
"Get up!"
Several patrol inspectors swarmed up, shouted and dragged the old man away, and then threw him directly into the No. 19 mining area.
"Brother Mu!"
Xu Yuan hurried over and quietly pointed in the direction behind Chu Mu.
Following what Xu Yuan was pointing, a figure dressed in white came into view surrounded by inspectors. Chu Mu's pupils shrank and he quickly withdrew his gaze.
Chu Mu whispered: "Follow me and don't wander around."
Xu Yuan nodded affirmatively: "I know."
"After this blood sacrifice, we must speed up the progress. Before the end of next month..."
"I understand..."
"But... after this blood sacrifice, it may be difficult for the corvee workers in the mine to maintain the operation of the mine... If asked by the higher-ups..."
"Do you still need me to handle the matter of recruiting corvees for you?"
"My lord, please forgive me. I will never let you down..."
As the group of men in white approached, the faint sound of conversation also fell into Chu Mu's ears.
Chu Mu's expression changed slightly, he lowered his head slightly, and pulled Xu Yuan back a few feet, trying to avoid possible attention as much as possible.
It wasn't until the man in white and the group of men walked by and disappeared that Chu Mu felt relieved.
"Blood sacrifice..."
Chu Mu was thinking about another term that seemed to be related to the world of immortality, and then he became a little confused.
Not mining? Why is there still a blood sacrifice involved?
Blood sacrifice... to whom?
In the midst of his thoughts, the scene of hundreds of ice sculpture mummies came to mind. Chu Mu's heart suddenly trembled. He raised his head sharply and looked at the mine not far away, where the laborers were already crowded inside and outside the mine.
boom!
At this moment, as if following the arrival of the man in white, a roar that shot straight into the sky sounded in the mine.
Then...the nightmare reappeared!
This time, Chu Mu saw it more clearly and thoroughly.
There was a roar, and in the dark mine, a light blue air surged out like a volcano erupting.
In the blink of an eye, the No. 19 mining area was already a land of ice and snow.
The densely packed ice sculptures, and the almost identical mummies among the ice sculptures, once again appeared in Chu Mu's field of vision.
This time, it is not a memory, but another actual performance!
How many lives?
Chu Mu didn't have time to count them in detail, but there was no need to count them. The densely packed ice sculptures and the long dragon-like team escorting them down could all explain the number of people.
Chu Mu looked at the ice and snow in front of him, then looked at the man in white with no expression on his face, and at Li Jinghong who had almost the same expression.
He seemed to understand somewhat.
Despite this understanding, he had made some guesses before, which could even be said to be clear.
That aloof immortal cultivator really doesn't care about the lives of mortals.
It can't even be said that he doesn't care about the lives of mortals, but that he doesn't care about everything about mortals.
This is not an isolated case, it is probably a common phenomenon.
It's like people don't care about the ants at their feet. If they step on them to death, they will be trampled to death.
This fact is not only reflected in the ice and snow that happens again and again before our eyes.
It seems to be reflected in every aspect of this era.
Mineral materials are state-owned, and all mined mineral materials are not allowed to enter the market. The ultimate source must be the aloof world of immortality.
Although there are many smuggling phenomena, iron ore also flows into the market and into the world from various channels.
But the formulation of this kind of policy undoubtedly proves that the policy makers do not care about worldly things at all.
They don't care at all whether mortals have iron tools to use or whether they need iron tools in life.
The same seems to be true for paper money that is ahead of its time.
The function of banknotes is probably also to better collect mundane metals.
As for whether banknotes will be over-issued, whether they will depreciate, whether the people will have a hard time...
People... would care about the ants' desolation?
All of this may be just a decision made by a certain superior cultivator with a snap of his head.
Just like the man in white and Li Jinghong in front of him, the man in white patted his head and made a decision, no matter whether it was reasonable or not, no matter what the cost...
Li Jinghong...dare you deny it? Do you dare not to execute it?
And all the consequences and costs include the people's deprivation of life and the uprising...
Can these pose a threat to the high-ranking immortal cultivators?
Can the interests of the high-ranking immortal cultivators be harmed?
Chu Mu racked his brains and couldn't find any possibility that could threaten the immortal cultivators and harm their interests.
He is not afraid of ordinary people, but will he be afraid of immortal cultivators?
Even if you become a powerful mortal, what can you do?
Sweeping the land, sweeping the world, so what?
Just like the popular uprising just now, so what if it succeeds?
Sweeping through Nanshan Town and Qinghe County, at most reaching Qinghe County, it would probably alarm the aloof Nanshan Li family.
Li Jinghong, a nearly invincible being, was humbled to the extreme in front of the man in white.
Not to mention those at higher levels, for someone with Li Jinghong's level of cultivation, if he sends out ten or eight, it is no longer something that ordinary people can match. Tens of hundreds, thousands of thousands, the difference is not big!
Not to mention, facing an immortal figure like the man in white, ordinary people are really no different from ants when faced with that kind of existence.
Unless, there are ordinary people who can achieve terrifying cultivation levels that overwhelm the entire world of immortality, and then they can think of ordinary people wholeheartedly...
Otherwise, this kind of indifference will inevitably exist forever.
A world of cultivating immortals with great power in one body.
There are all ants on the road to immortality.
He, Chu Mu, is also a member of the ants.
He didn't have any great ambitions. He just wanted to get rid of his identity as an ant as soon as possible.
Even if he steps into the path of immortality, he may be just a slightly larger ant, but at least his life and death will not depend on other people's thoughts!
