Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 63 The Tranquility Before the Storm

The night is deep.

A cart, escorted by nearly a hundred patrol inspectors, slowly drove out of the inspection station.

Chu Mu remembered that it was this cart that pulled the old man's body from the mountain village to the dungeon.

And now, it was this trolley again, pulling out the body of the old man who had been stitched into shape after being torn apart, out of the dungeon.

Next, his body will be hung on the archway at the north exit of Zhenbei.

Exposing the dead body to the public...wanting...to lure the snake out of the hole.

It has to be said that the skills in the hands of the seemingly unremarkable work are still very good.

The body, which had been divided and dissected to pieces, was sutured with needles and thread, and then put on a shroud, there was not much abnormality.

Only indistinctly, the hideous traces of stitches came into view, which seemed to give people an indescribable sense of horror.

"Hang it up."

At the Zhenbei Exit, following Wu Shuo's arrangement, this terrifying looking corpse was also hung under the tall archway.

The night was dark, the flames were flickering, and a ferocious corpse was hanging in the air, swaying in the wind. Thanks to the people who were on the inspection tour who had experienced it first-hand, otherwise, those who didn't know would probably be scared to death.

"Brother Mu, is there really a ghost?"

Up until now, Xu Yuan obviously hadn't recovered from the news of the resentful soul, and he stumbled and looked at Chu Mu and asked.

"Don't think about it!"

Chu Mu took out the volume of exercise formula from his bosom, and stuffed it into Xu Yuan's hands: "If you have nothing to do, just think about it yourself, and ask me if you don't understand."

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the words "Exercising the Body", he refused again and again:

"Brother Mu, this won't work, this is the corporal leader..."

"I told the chief, don't worry."

Chu Mu waved his hand and looked around vigilantly, obviously not wanting to say more.

As for whether Xu Yuan could understand, Chu Mu was not worried. Before his father died, his family environment was far more worrying than his family.

This kid Xu Yuan was once forced by his father to study in a private school for a few years, so it's no problem to be able to read and write.

Seeing Chu Mu's vigilant look around him, Xu Yuan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything more, holding the book of body exercises tightly, his eyebrows seemed a little firmer.

Chu Mu's attention at this moment was obviously not on Xu Yuan at all, but on the surrounding environment.

If the resentful soul hadn't appeared, he naturally wouldn't be so careful, but now, a higher-level mystery seemed to be unveiled in front of him.

His superficial saber technique, his newly cultivated energy and blood, and his seemingly extraordinary self-protection ability in the face of ordinary people seem a bit worthless in front of the higher level of mystery.

And right now, strictly speaking, he is also one of the participants in the exposure of the corpse...

In a confrontation beyond his ability, if he was a little careless, he would be cannon fodder.

Everything, Chu Mu couldn't help being not vigilant.

But inexplicably, Chu Mu was looking forward to it, looking forward to the boy seeking revenge.

Even if he knew that, even if this expectation was fulfilled, it would not mean much to him.

But people's hearts... there is always a bit of luck.

Looking forward to... luck, but also worrying... even fearing...

Time... under Chu Mu's complicated state of mind, slowly passed by.

As the night darkened, until the night dissipated and the rooster crowed and dawn broke, the corpse was still hanging high, swaying with the wind, without any abnormality.

With the accident in Fengyue Tower, the center of gravity of Nanshan Town and even Qinghe County has obviously shifted according to Li Jinghong's will.

Under this archway, there were nearly a hundred patrolling light and dark guards. In the early morning, under the mobilization of Li Jinghong, the county patrolling battalion had nearly two hundred patrolling guards, and they also rushed to Nanshan Town overnight.

Immediately, nearly a hundred inspectors were mobilized from the mine to the north of the town to replace Chu Mu and his party who had suffered all night.

It wasn't until the sun was rising that Chu Mu could barely return home.

Chu Mu was undoubtedly extremely exhausted after a night of nervous torment.

But compared to exhaustion, the sense of urgency brought by the worry in my heart is obviously far greater than physical and mental exhaustion.

As soon as he got home, Chu Mu carefully inspected the rooms of his house, and without any delay, he boiled down the medicinal materials that assist the cultivation of qi and blood. As for the side effects of excessive use of medicinal materials...

With the current situation, the impact of the mysterious and extraordinary, and the side effects of mere drugs and poisons, to Chu Mu, it is undoubtedly insignificant.

The medicinal liquid surged along with the fire, and after Chu Mu added firewood, he simply made some food and ate it, and then returned to the courtyard.

After practicing a few rounds of saber techniques and moving his stiff body a little, Chu Mu put all his energy into practicing Qi and blood.

Putting on the Zhuang Gong posture, under the tranquility of the mind, the perception of Qi and blood flooded into the mind instantly, and the mind moved slightly, and the Qi and blood circulated accordingly.

Compared with the auxiliary practice of medicine, there is obviously a huge gap between the simple refining of one's own qi.

The strands of qi transformed from food are really insignificant compared to the medicinal power of the medicinal liquid pouring in like a tide.

But there is no doubt that compared to refining the turbulent medicinal power, this kind of qi transformed by the body's instinct is undoubtedly much simpler to absorb and contain under the same root and origin, and there are no restrictions or negative effects.

Time passed bit by bit, and after about a quarter of an hour, Chu Mu stopped the cultivation of Qi and blood.

Of course, it's not because Chu Mu doesn't want to practice anymore, but because he can't.

After all, the qi refined by qi and blood practice is produced from the food eaten.

Its amount is extremely limited, and Qi and blood practice is not simply to strengthen Qi and blood blindly. Its fundamental purpose is to strengthen viscera, accumulate essence, and accumulate spirit.

Therefore, every practice of qi and blood is a waste of qi and blood.

It's just that this kind of consumption doesn't disappear out of thin air, but through strengthening the viscera and accumulating essence and spirit, it turns into a body. It is also an indispensable part of the process of the human body becoming inhuman.

But it is obvious that to cultivate qi and blood, one must ensure sufficient food and the assistance of corresponding medicinal materials.

If not, every time I practice qi and blood, I am afraid that I am not strengthening the viscera and foundation, but damaging the viscera and foundation, and doing the way of death!
"A little proficiency..."

Seeing the increase in proficiency reflected on the light curtain panel, the corners of Chu Mu's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

You know, he is a beginner!
Learning anything, beginners, progress must be the most obvious.

As the progress deepens, it is inevitable that the learning progress will slow down or even stagnate.

Calculated according to this progress, if there is no medicinal solution to assist, it may be a lifetime of hard work to practice on your own!
And according to the growth cycle of the human body, after reaching the prime of life, it is inevitable to age slowly.

The practice of qi and blood itself focuses on strengthening the body. Once the body starts to age, the energy and spirit will weaken. You don't need to think about the progress of the practice.
