Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 61
Looking at the young man galloping across the roof, Chu Mu's eyes seemed a little strange.

The old man was dead, and only three disciples survived an operation to suppress thieves.

And this boy, if he remembered correctly, was one of them.

As for why the young man didn't resort to such means when he entered the mountain to encircle and suppress him, this is no longer what Chu Mu wants to consider.

All he thinks now... is on this young man.

Real kung fu makes people yearn for it, so...immortals...wouldn't it make people crazy?

Li Jinghong was obviously already crazy, and the bloody scars did not affect him at all.

The high-ranking demeanor of the past is also completely gone, with a ferocious demeanor, only eyes full of greed, staring at the fleeing young man.

One chase, one escape!
In the blink of an eye, it was about to disappear into the night.

Driven by the inexplicable expectation in his heart, Chu Mu seemed to have lost a little bit of scruples, and the attitude of dawdling was gone.

Chase!
Compared to those inspections who have achieved success in qi and blood training and whose physical fitness is close to inhuman, Chu Mu obviously can't walk on the ground between the roofs.

Like many inspections, he ran along the streets and alleys in the direction of the boy's escape.

Nanshan Town was not big in the first place, and within a few minutes of chasing and escaping, he had already left the scope of Nanshan Town and stepped into the forest surrounding Nanshan Town.

Seeing stepping into the dense forest, Chu Mu was still a bit superior, and gradually calmed down.

Chu Mu will never forget the torment in the mountains and forests that night.

The pace slowed down a little, and the inspectors around him poured into the dense forest one after another, and Chu Mu followed closely behind, unhurriedly following.

The mountains and forests were dark, but the occasional shouts and shouts pointed out the direction for the chasing inspectors.

"Boom boom boom!"

After only ten steps into the forest, Chu Mu was still carefully surveying the surrounding environment, when a sudden roar sounded in the dense forest in front of him.

Chu Mu looked subconsciously, but saw the flames surging into the sky, the air waves sweeping, and the billows of smoke and dust rushed towards his face.

The thick smell of gunpowder also poured into Chu Mu's nostrils one after another.

"Gunpowder? Explosion?"

Chu Mu was stunned, and subconsciously looked around. If it wasn't for the inspections around him, and the dense forest didn't change at all, Chu Mu even thought he had crossed again!
Since I didn't travel through again...then the gunpowder exploded?
Chu Mu stared blankly at the turbulent flames in front of him, and the gunpowder smoke from the billowing air waves didn't smell too strong.

The smell of gunpowder is naturally impossible for a modern person to be unfamiliar with.

After all, whether it is firecrackers for the New Year, or weddings and funerals, firecrackers are indispensable.

Chu Mu was very sure that he was not mistaken, and the smell of gunpowder on the tip of his nose was also very strong.

The flames in front of him were clearly the explosion of gunpowder!

Chu Mu felt that he couldn't turn his head around.

First, the resentful ghosts appeared, which almost shattered his world view, and now the gunpowder exploded...

One after another, things that are beyond the current era emerge, and they seem to be two opposite things.

The appearance of the resentful soul undoubtedly shows that there are supernatural beings beyond his cognition.

But what about the gunpowder explosion?
Is this still the industrial age?

Suddenly, Chu Mu thought of the banknotes that did not conform to the craftsmanship of this era...

From this point of view, the emergence of gunpowder seems not impossible.

But since gunpowder exists and has such power, why not use it on mining?
Countless doubts came to mind, but obviously, Chu Mu couldn't afford to think too much at this time, this place, this scene, the engulfing air surged, and under the flames soaring into the sky, Li Jinghong, who was rushing to the front, and many other skilled inspectors seemed to be alive or dead.

Not to mention, the possible crisis after such an ambush appeared.

Chu Mu drew his sword and looked around vigilantly. Although the sword cannot kill ghosts, it can still kill people!
But after some vigilance, there was no movement in the surrounding area except for the scattered flames and smoke, and the broken flesh and blood clots falling to the ground from time to time.

When the turbulent flames dissipated, under the light of the flames, the several zhang craters on the ground seemed extremely conspicuous.

Unexpectedly, under such an explosion, Li Jinghong did not die.

His shattered clothes had been reduced to ashes, his shawl and long hair had turned into black charcoal, and his whole body was bloody and bloody. It could be described as extremely miserable.

"Thousands!"

"grown ups!"

At such a time, there are naturally many people who show their loyalty. The inspectors rushed forward one by one, some supported them, and some held knives and looked around vigilantly.

"Nitre... gunpowder..."

Li Jinghong shook off the patrol inspector who supported him, smelled the thick smoke, and looked into the deep and dense forest, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Give me an order to order the County Inspection Battalion to move to Nanshan Town!"

"Order the third army, and the sixth army to switch to the dungeon of the inspection station. Wu Shuo, you are in charge, and you must take care of that corpse!"

Li Jinghong didn't show the anger he should have after being ambushed, instead he gave orders in an orderly manner.

Finally, Li Jinghong looked at the dark forest in front of him again, pondered for a moment, and said: "Pass down, from now on, if any traces of rebels are found and reported to confirm that they are correct, those with official status will be promoted to a higher level and will be rewarded with three thousand silver.

As soon as these words came out, the dense forest, which was quite noisy at first, fell into silence in an instant.

Faced with this unbelievably rich reward, all the inspectors were a little dumbfounded.

Just to find traces?

Three thousand silver rewards for being promoted to a higher level?

Chu Mu took a deep look at Li Jinghong. Combined with his performance as a thousand households in Fengyue Tower just now, and the digging of the grave, there is undoubtedly one fact that is very clear.

That is, he, Qianhu, is by no means an ordinary person, and he definitely has contact and understanding of that mysterious and unknown world.

Otherwise, it is impossible for him, a thousand households, to have so many abnormal behaviors.

"Nanshan Li's family..."

Chu Mu recited these four words silently in his heart. Just now in the Fengxue Tower, Li Jinghong's performance was undoubtedly the strangest with the four words of Nanshan Li's family.

But it is very clear that Li Jinghong relied on the Nanshan Li family at the beginning, and then he should have discovered the weakness of the so-called resentful soul, thus confirming that the manipulator of the resentful soul should not be the senior he thought...

Then there is...

After all, how many people would be able to avoid ill intentions when a child carried money through the busy market?

Fact, also this fact...

Compared with the possible gains, such a reward seems really insignificant!
It's just that the Nanshan Li family...

Chu Mu remembered that the existence of Nanshan was mentioned in the travel notes and geographical records he had read.

Nanshan Town, Nanshan Iron Mine, although Nanshan is named after them, they do not represent Nanshan, they are just an insignificant part of Nanshan.

Strictly speaking, the forest where he is now, and even the surrounding mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, all belong to Nanshan.

And the Li family...

Chu Mu frowned, as if... the county magistrate is also surnamed Li?
