Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 115 The Beginning

The Nanshan Inspection Office, which had little presence except when the soldiers were paid in the past, was crowded again under the whistle.

Li Jinghong sat in the lobby. Inside and outside the house were patrols in armor and weapons, but it seemed that he could not feel safe at all.

His face was pale and he was still terrified. Li Jinghong even trembled uncontrollably.

The room was in a mess, and a big hole was broken in the roof. Several mummies were buried in the ruins.

The resentful spirit... seemed to appear again, and this time the target was the county lieutenant of Qinghe County, Li Jinghong!

Wu Shuo walked into the room carefully, and when he saw the mummies buried in the ruins, his expression changed slightly.

But when he saw Li Jinghong, who was pale, he lowered his head quickly: "Thousand households, the two hundred households in the town have assembled."

At this time, Li Jinghong seemed to have just reacted from the remaining fear, looked at Wu Shuo, and was about to make arrangements, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated.

No matter how he arranged the existence of the immortal cultivator, it seemed... there was no point!

"Just the same as before..."

Li Jinghong waved his hand, weakly.

Wu Shuo hesitated for a while, and finally did not say much, and left in response.

In the room, Li Jinghong still sat upright, but after the fear dissipated, what was left was perhaps a strong unwillingness...

In the inspection office, many inspectors who had just gathered dispersed under orders.

It was no different from usual, except that the situation was not right today, and there were fewer slackers.

Chu Mu had arrived in front of Mingxin Hall, looking at the closed doors and windows of Mingxin Hall in front of him, and the last bit of luck in his heart was completely dissipated.

After coming to this world for several months, in his memory, Mingxin Hall has opened its doors on time at 15:00 every day for several months, without any deviation.

But today, Mingxin Hall has rarely opened its doors, which seems to prove many things.

Chu Mu looked normal, leading a team of inspectors to wander around the street. As if inadvertently, he also looked at the houses on the street.

Especially the homes of several apprentices of Mingxin Hall, which were the focus of Chu Mu's observation.

The homes of several apprentices, without exception, were all closed. Chu Mu found an excuse to leave the team, climb over the wall to observe, and several houses were empty.

"Is it the method of the immortal cultivators?"

Chu Mu thought to himself. As far as he knew, the apprentices of Mingxin Hall were all from good families.

In Nanshan Town, they were all well-known figures. Such families would not move away with a hint from Mr. Li.

And given Mr. Li's character, it is very likely that he will not sit idly by and watch these apprentices be implicated by him, so it seems normal to use some tricks.

Chu Mu couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he thought of himself.

Then he thought of the scene he saw before, and the news he had just heard from Wu Shuo in the inspection station, and a clear vein emerged in Chu Mu's mind.

In other words, in the early morning, the resentful spirit attacked Li Jinghong, and then the man in white noticed and chased him.

The vein is fine, and Li Jinghong's life and death have nothing to do with him.

The point is... Is it the boy from Qili Village who came back to kill him?

Or... a strategy to lure the enemy?

Chu Mu found out clearly that all the ore mined from the mysterious spiritual mine was not collected by the man in white, and they were all piled at the bottom of the mine.

And Mr. Li's target is that pile of ore.

Just lead the man in white away...

But then, Chu Mu became a little confused again.

The man in white is from the so-called Nanshan Li family, a cultivator who leans on a big tree.

Judging from his attitude towards the mysterious "spiritual mine", if there is a legendary storage bag or something like that, the mined ore would have been collected long ago.

Instead of being piled up in the open air for several months.

Then the problem comes. The man in white, who is a cultivator from the same family, has no storage items for cultivation, and Mr. Li is just a casual cultivator...

If it is really a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, how did the thousands of kilograms of ore get away quietly?

Chu Mu looked in the direction of the mine. He estimated that everything would be revealed today.

If it is really a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

Then... it is not just these apprentices who want to escape, but Chu Mu.

After all, if the man in white returns and finds that he has been fooled, where can he vent his anger?

The anger of a cultivator, even if it is just a spread, is not something that ordinary mortals can bear.

Li Jinghong can't bear it, and others can't bear it even more!

Chu Mu pursed his lips, combed through the clues, and his heart was completely relaxed.

He hoped it was as he guessed.

In that case, he would still be a nobody. Whether he stayed or left, at least in the current situation, it would not attract attention, and no one would care.

Chu Mu looked towards the mine, his eyes moved slightly.

"Brother Mu..."

Xu Yuan, who was standing beside him, finally couldn't help but speak out. He wanted to ask, but obviously didn't know how to start.

"Be patient."

Chu Mu patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder and whispered a few words in his ear. Although he didn't say much, the meaning revealed also made Xu Yuan less anxious.

Next, Chu Mu wandered around the street as usual.

As the saying goes, everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

Now he is just waiting for an east wind.

The east wind came, confirming all the guesses and cutting off any retreat, so he had fewer regrets.

For Chu Mu, the situation was clear, but for everyone else, it was still a mystery.

The reappearance of the resentful spirits seemed to spread and cause panic among people.

After the news spread, the few residents in Nanshan Town left with their families. It seemed that the scene was once again staged in Nanshan Town.

The inspectors were also worried, but after several storms, there were not many local inspectors in Nanshan Town.

The rest of the inspectors were mostly transferred from other places, and most of them had only heard about the resentful spirits, but had never seen or experienced them in person.

Although people's hearts were moved, they were still under control.

There is no doubt that Nanshan Town, which had been peaceful for a long time, was noisy again.

The mine, which was only a few hundred meters away, had been dead silent since the civil uprising.

Today, when the noise in Nanshan Town was rising, this dead silence was completely broken by the sudden change.

At the bottom of the mine, the mysterious spiritual mine is located in the No. 19 mining area.

The commotion and unrest also arise from this.

The corvées, as always, are numb, working mechanically in the mine that devours human lives.

The white-clothed man doesn't care about the lives of the consumables, and the patrol guards obviously don't care either.

In the face of life and death, most people think of keeping themselves safe.

There are two hundred households and nearly three hundred patrols stationed in the dozen mining areas.

Their duties are to suppress corvées and guard the "mineral materials"...

The mineral materials piled up with human lives are usually piled up on the open space outside the mining area.

The patrol guards obviously avoid this evil mineral material.

They say they are guarding, but at most they take a look from a distance, and no one dares to take their lives seriously and approach for inspection.

And now, in broad daylight, the mountains of mineral materials suddenly disappeared.

It was as if, in the last second, they were piled up like mountains, and in the next second, there was only... an empty space?

It will be on the shelves tomorrow, book friends, please support me, I beg you!!!
