Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 51
"A bowl of white porridge, and three pancakes,"

In the early morning, Chu Mu sat at the table beside the vendor, put down his saber, and casually said to the vendor.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

The vendor immediately responded, and immediately went to work, not even caring about the other customers waiting at the side, and immediately brought Chu Mu's food over.

"My lord, let me congratulate you on your promotion first."

The vendor was old, but he also bent over, smiling and flattering Chu Mu.

Chu Mu frowned, and looked at the vendor in front of him with some curiosity. His white hair was already visible, his face was wrinkled, and he looked at least five or sixty years old.

Has the news of his promotion spread so widely?
The old vendor hurriedly explained: "The younger one has a nephew who just filled in the vacancy, and you often eat breakfast here..."

Chu Mu nodded, didn't say anything more, and the old vendor didn't dare to say anything, so he returned to the stall with a smile and continued to shout.

"Brother Mu, I knew you were here."

As soon as Chu Mu took a sip of the porridge, Xu Yuan's voice came to his ears. Immediately afterwards, Xu Yuan sat down beside him, picked up a sesame seed cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Another three pancakes and a bowl of porridge."

Chu Mu turned his head and said something to the vendor, and then looked at Xu Yuan. Chu Mu couldn't help but frowned at the voracious appearance, and said angrily, "Eat slowly, you kid, no one will grab you!"

"I haven't slept well for a few days, and I stayed up all night last night, which made me very hungry."

Swallowing the biscuits in his mouth, Xu Yuan glanced around, and then looked at Chu Mu mysteriously: "Brother Mu, you never imagined what I've been doing these days!"

"What's the matter, how many days did you die last night?"

Chu Mu took a sip of porridge and said casually.

"Brother Mu, how do you know?"

Xu Yuan exclaimed, his face full of curiosity.

"A few days ago, I just ran into Wu Changyun's corpse and chatted for a while."

"Brother Mu, don't tell me, that old guy has been dead for a year, and he still looks like a living person!"

"These few days we..."

"So, the old man's body was placed in the dungeon, and you kept guarding it?"

After hearing a rough idea, Chu Mu asked casually.

"Yes, the entire dungeon has been emptied, so let's put the old man's body, and all of us will guard it in the dungeon..."

Chu Mu frowned: "We Wu, there shouldn't be enough manpower right now?"

In that bandit-suppressing operation in the mountains, more than half of his army was lost. Even though the order to fill the vacancies had been issued long ago, it was obviously impossible to be fully staffed in just a few days.

"It's just not enough manpower!"

Xu Yuan poured out bitter water: "There are less than [-] of us, and we eat, drink, and scatter all in the prison, and we can't sleep well!"

"If it weren't for the fact that several newcomers have arrived one after another in the past two days, I wouldn't even be able to come out for a meal!"

Chu Mu asked, "There's been no movement these days, right?"

"Where is the movement coming from!"

Xu Yuan shook his head: "I heard that the county has issued arrest warrants. In our town, that portrait is posted all over the streets!"

"If I were those thieves, I would have gone to hide in the mountains long ago. How dare I go to the inspection station to rob corpses!"

"Not necessarily!"

"We slaughtered almost all the villagers in Qili Village, and even dug up the graves of their masters. With such a deep blood feud, those thieves are highly skilled in martial arts, so it's impossible for us to still be cowardly?"

Chu Mu shook his head, with a sharp blade in his heart, and he wanted to kill himself.

People with good martial arts skills are most likely to be bold and skilled!

Not to mention, the battle after entering the mountain earlier proved that the inspection was unbearable.

If it weren't for the support of several experts from the inspection station and Qianhu's personal guards, the entire army would have been wiped out long ago.

Thinking in another way, if he is a thief, he may be afraid of inspections, but he will definitely not be afraid, let alone evade.

"I heard from the corps chief that the old man returned to Qili Village about seven years ago."

Chu Mu frowned: "Seven years ago?"

"Correct."

Xu Yuan nodded: "I heard that the old man was originally from Qili Village. When he was young, he went out to wander around, but he never heard from him until he returned to Qili Village seven years ago."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan seemed to have just remembered, and moved to Chu Mu's side mysteriously: "Brother Mu, guess how old that old man is?"

Chu Mu's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Xu Yuan fiercely: "How old are you?"

"According to what the arrester said, the old man came from Qili Village more than 100 years ago, and he was already in his 20s at that time."

Chu Mu's heart trembled, and he couldn't hide his horror: "Live for more than 120 years?"

"Correct!"

Xu Yuan nodded, smacking his mouth: "I have lived for more than 120 years!"

"I heard that the old man was still alive and well when he returned to Qili Village. It is said that a few years ago, a tiger broke into Qili Village and was directly killed by the old man..."

"And it is said that the old man died very strangely, as if he knew he was going to die, and asked his apprentices to prepare everything a few days in advance, and also explained the funeral..."

"What happened more than 100 years ago..."

Chu Mu frowned: "I guess no one can be sure?"

Xu Yuan shook his head: "I heard that the genealogy is correct, so I'm sure. I don't know if it's true or not."

Chu Mu put down his chopsticks. Hearing such a secret, he lost his appetite, and his heart surged like a tide, and it was hard to calm down!

More than 120 years!
More than 120 years old!
What is this concept?
Martial arts can live longer?
Or, that old man has the secret of longevity?
Chu Mu's eyes flickered, and his breathing seemed to be a little short.

He suddenly understood something.

Why did Li Jinghong of Qianhu suddenly bring people into the mountains after all the bandits were suppressed, and he had to dig graves and exhume corpses!

After the body was exhumed and shipped back, news was released, traps were set, and arrest warrants were posted again!
The reason for such a big fight... probably lies in this!

More than 120 years old!
If he were Qianhu, he would probably do the same!

Chu Mu caressed the wound on his abdomen, feeling the faint tingling pain, and the thought of raising it more and delaying the time seemed to have disappeared.

In this world, there has never been something that gets something for nothing!
He has been unknown in the inspection station for more than a month, no one has looked at him differently, and no chance has come to him.

Going into the mountains to suppress bandits, showing martial arts for the first time, after a fight, Wu Shuo will appreciate him, get the real kung fu he has dreamed of, and directly jump to the rank of the army and cross the class.

But if he didn't take the risk to fight, how could he get such a rich return?
Obviously impossible.

He can only be like the original owner's father, who has been in the inspection station for decades, and is still an ordinary inspector, with no name and no influence, and when he dies...he will die!
Right now...seems to be another opportunity...

A BIG OPPORTUNITY!

Despite this opportunity, the relationship with him... seems to be negligible...

But if he doesn't get involved, it's completely zero!
