Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 72 Weird
"Brother, don't you know that these days, we are worried every day and night!"

"The dead people every now and then!"

"The corvee is dead, and the inspector is also dead. Brother, you have seen the frost on the corpse just now. You can still be frozen to death on a hot day. It's really evil!"

"If it wasn't for Qianhu's ban..."

As the relationship draws closer, the chatterbox opens up, and the almost horrifying inside story is revealed in front of Chu Mu's eyes.

According to the patrol inspection in front of us, as early as more than a month ago, before winter, several mining areas at the bottom of the mine pit, there were cases of dead people one after another.

And this death is not a normal accidental death or death from illness, it is all... "Frozen to death!"

Some of them suffered from sudden illness, were bitingly cold, and then froze to death alive, and some died suddenly in their sleep, and when they were discovered, they were already covered in frost.

Whether it's corvee or patrol inspection, there are no exceptions in the several mining areas near here.

It's so weird that people are naturally panicked and can't live all day long.

However, under the suppression of power, such panic has always been limited to these few mining areas, and it is difficult to spread.

According to the inspector, it was precisely because of such a strange occurrence that Qianhu was noticed, and Qianhu led people around the mine all day long.

The reason for the incident seems to be very clear.

It wasn't that there was something wrong with Chu Mu himself, let alone that something went wrong in his cultivation of Qi and blood.

The problem is this piece of land, this large mining area, and...

Chu Mu turned his head to look at the mountain wall that was being dug by dozens of corvée.

Several hours passed, many of the blue-gray stones had been excavated, and the gravel piled up, forming a slope. Dozens of corvee workers were busy in front of the pitted stone wall.

It is a very normal scene of mining, and he has been guarding the mine for a while, so Chu Mu is naturally very clear about the process.

but……

The mountain wall is a blue-gray rock, but at this moment, between the pitted stone walls, black mottled behind the stone layers can be faintly seen.

Li Jinghong noticed the abnormality, searched for the abnormality, then attracted the attention of the Li family in Nanshan, and finally found the abnormality...

In other words, this is very likely, not some kind of treasure?
But some kind of... scourge?
Seeing Li Jinghong and the man in white who had not left, as well as the hundreds of inspectors dispatched urgently from the surrounding area, Chu Mu couldn't stop his heart from trembling.

Such a strangeness, already beyond the cognition of common sense, must involve that higher level of transcendence.

The civil uprising he was worried about just now... is nothing compared to this higher-level and extraordinary disaster...?
Chu Mu stared at the mine that had already begun to take shape, his expression seemed a little uncertain.

After a few words, Chu Mu stepped forward and walked straight to Xu Yuan's side: "Follow me!"

Xu Yuan was stunned, but seeing Chu Mu who had already walked away, he quickly closed the book and quickly followed.

"Brother Mu, what's the matter, what's the matter?"

Xu Yuan leaned forward and asked in doubt.

Chu Mu didn't stop walking, he walked all the way to the outermost edge of the mining area, hundreds of meters away from the excavated mountain wall, and finally stopped.

Chu Mu didn't respond to Xu Yuan's question, but just closed his eyes and sensed Qi and blood.

Perhaps the impact of the chill was too great. This time, Chu Mu had an unprecedented difficulty in calming down. His heart was not calm, so he naturally couldn't feel the blood in the dark.

At this moment, Chu Mu didn't want to be entangled, and said silently in his heart, "Spiritual Blessing" came, and in just an instant, the familiar leap of thought had already emerged.

The qi and blood in the dark, at this moment, are also so clear that it cannot be clearer.

Under the perception of Qi and blood, the indescribable chill no longer exists, only the warmth brought by the surge of Qi and blood surrounds the whole body.

Chu Mu opened his eyes, still ignoring Xu Yuan who was full of doubts, but looked at the mine dug by the corvée again.

"In other words, is there a scope limit?"

Chu Mu thought to himself, the news he inquired from the inspection office just now seemed to confirm his guess.

After all, for more than a month, the inspection corvees have been "frozen to death" one after another, but only a few of them, the vast majority, are still alive and well. Among them, this is obviously the limitation of this range.

Seeing that Chu Mu didn't respond for a long time, Xu Yuan couldn't help asking:

"Brother Mu, what's wrong with you?"

"fine."

"Follow me, don't wander around."

Chu Mu didn't say the reason. It's too complicated to explain.

"Oh."

Xu Yuan nodded. Although he wanted to ask clearly, seeing Chu Mu's unwillingness to say more, he finally didn't say anything.

"Then I'll just read here, okay?"

"Okay, try not to get too close to that."

Chu Mu pointed to the direction of the mine, and found a place to sit down.

It's so weird right now, it's naturally impossible to continue Qi and blood cultivation, Chu Mu's heart is not that big yet.

Chu Mu seemed to be staring at the mine that was dug intently, unwilling to let go of the slightest change.

Chu Mu is very curious now, what is there?
demon?ghost?Or other transcendence that he can't understand?
Chu Mu doesn't know, he can only guess, but what is certain is that the word misfortune and blessing cannot be separated from it.

But obviously, it was a disaster, and it had nothing to do with him, Chu Mu, or the hundreds of inspectors present.

If it is a blessing, then it has nothing to do with them.

If there is a choice, Chu Mu certainly hopes it will be a blessing, even if it has nothing to do with him, but at least there will be no danger.

"okay!"

At this moment, the man in white who had never spoken a word suddenly spoke out.

In just two words, the hustle and bustle of this mine disappeared in an instant.

The man in white has never even looked at any ordinary person, but his attitude of treating Li Jinghong like a dog is obviously enough to easily deter everyone.

Li Jinghong obviously understood the intention of the man in white, he bowed humbly in response, and immediately greeted him to guard him.

After a while, about hundreds of corvees, also under the supervision of many inspections, came to this mining area.

"Take the tools and go to work!"

Li Jinghong personally yelled and directed hundreds of corvees, carrying all kinds of tools, to rush towards the entire mine.

Chu Mu looked at the scene of this turbulent crowd, as if he couldn't stop his doubts.

There are as many as five or six hundred people in this corvee, and dozens of people dug for a long time in the mine, but they only dug in one or two meters, and the width is only about ten meters.

It's a bigger mine, with so many people, there's nowhere to stand!
What is this doing?
clang clang clang...

Chu Mu was puzzled, but the corvees had already started to wield their tools, and the clang clang clang sounded again...
