Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 89 Rigorous and Evidence-Based
This night, along with the stretch of ruins, Nanshan Town, the only one that runs an inn business, also welcomed a large wave of business.

There are those who bring their families with them, and there are those like Chu Mu who carry all their belongings, and they seem to have fled.

On the street, teams of inspectors shuttled around, or cleaned up the ruins, or went to various funeral scenes, doing the despicable act of opening the coffin for autopsy.

This night, Nanshan Town was noisy again.

Chu Mu stood in front of the window, watching the hustle and bustle on the street, but couldn't help but sighed.

A single mine doomed Nanshan Town, and even Qinghe County as a whole, and it was almost impossible to live in peace forever.

A place of complete right and wrong.

This body skin can save him many, many troubles, but at the same time, it can also irresistibly involve him in a series of turmoil.

"Greedy...or too greedy..."

Chu Mu let out a long breath. Right now, all the troubles come from his own greed.

If not, judging from the current situation, it would not be difficult for him to find an excuse to leave the place where he was wrong, and it could even be said to be easy.

After all, he was still too greedy, unwilling to let go of even the slightest thought.

Chu Mu slowly let go of his palm, and placed the fluorescent jade piece in his palm.

After staring blankly for a moment, Chu Mu withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and held the jade piece tightly in his hand again.

Chu Mu looked away, but he didn't look at the hustle and bustle on the street, but at the three-story pavilion diagonally opposite.

That is... Mingxintang!

After freezing for a moment, Chu Mu looked away again, but looked at the pile of medical books at his feet.

Of the dozen or so volumes of medical books, only nine were obtained from Mingxintang, and nearly half of the rest were purchased by Chu Mu from various sources.

After half a month of studying medicine, after accumulating a certain amount of medical insight, it is not difficult to find that although they are both medical books, Mingxintang's medical books are quite different from the medical books he bought from the outside world.

Every volume of the medical books Mr. Li gave him, no matter what the medical content is, is extremely detailed.

Just like medicinal materials, a ginseng plant, in other medical books, perhaps at most describe its medicinal properties, and then add the place where it grows, etc., it must be extremely general.

The medical book given by Mr. Li also described a ginseng plant, but its content was extremely detailed and well-documented.

The properties of the medicine, the conditions under which the properties of the medicine will change in different ways, and the relationship with the human body, its benefits and harms, are all extremely detailed.

A little, a small amount, appropriate... This kind of ambiguous vocabulary is very common in other medical books, but in the medical books given by Mr. Li, it does not exist at all.

Each medical book is like... like a report after countless experiments.

Scientific, rigorous, textual research!

Everything shows that these medical books and knowledge cannot be born from the worldly world he sees now.

And Mr. Li's recent words... also express this point just right.

Chu Mu was very concerned about Mr. Li's identity, which contained his greed and expectations.

But Chu Mu cared more about the revealed extraordinary world.

That lofty extraordinary world seemed... different from what he had imagined...

……

No sleep for one night.

In the early morning of the next day, Nanshan Town finally regained its calm. Chu Mu closed his eyes slightly, his mind was clear, and his whole body's Qi and blood slowly circulated.

The windows were left open all night, and the turbulent chill poured into the room non-stop. Under the warmth of the circulation of Qi and blood, wisps of hot air transpired and lingered around Chu Mu's body, which was quite miraculous.

It wasn't until the morning sun was rising that the first ray of sunlight cast a golden glow on Chu Mu's body through the window, and Chu Mu slowly opened his eyes.

He walked to the window. The height of the second-floor building was enough to overlook most of Nanshan Town. The golden brilliance of the morning sun spread over the roof, and the unmelted white snow reflected the glaring light. Nanshan Town in the early morning was already somewhat chaotic.

Right across from Mingxin Hall, the door has been opened, and Chu Mu can even see those few apprentices who are busy.

After staring for a while, Chu Mu withdrew his gaze, walked to the stove in the room, put away the medical books that had been roasted all night, took out two more from them and put them in his arms, and then walked out of the guest room in the inn.

The inn in the early morning was originally the place where Nanshan Town's recent surge of inspections gathered, and now there were more than a dozen families with nowhere to go. The inn this early in the morning was undoubtedly extremely lively.

After ordering a bowl of hot noodle soup, Chu Mu didn't stay in the inn, so he went straight to Mingxintang.

As for his ruined home, Chu Mu didn't care too much.

There are so many families involved, including many powerful figures, and the He family, which is already on the verge of ruin, as long as they don't want to completely ruin their families, it is impossible not to do a good job in the aftermath.

"Elder Li."

"coming……"

Seeing Chu Mu walking in, Mr. Li raised his head and glanced at Chu Mu, then pointed to several big bags piled up beside the counter: "A new batch of medicinal materials arrived last night, go and sort them."

"it is good."

Chu Mu responded, hesitated for a while, but walked up to Mr. Li.

Mr. Li put down his pen and looked at Chu Mu: "What's the matter?"

Chu Mu asked tentatively: "Mr. Li, do you know what happened last night that the He family and He San died and came back to life, and the mummies caused chaos?"

Mr. Li frowned, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said:

"It's not uncommon for people to be killed by resentful souls, whose corpses are stained with yin energy, and come back from the dead, turning into living corpses to cause chaos."

Yin Qi, living corpse...

Chu Mu thought about these two new terms, and seeing that Mr. Li didn't mean to avoid talking about them, he boldly asked:
"If the corpse is contaminated with Yin Qi, it will definitely turn into a living corpse?"

Mr. Li shook his head: "There is a certain chance."

Chu Mu asked again: "Dare to ask Mr. Li, what factors affect the chance of the corpse being contaminated with Yin Qi, thus resurrecting from the dead, and turning into a living corpse?"

"There are many factors."

"For example, the climate at the time of death, the environment in which it was released after death, and the concentration of Yin Qi infected. Of course, the most important thing is whether the corpse was alive..."

Halfway through the conversation, it stopped abruptly. Mr. Li chuckled lightly, and then changed the topic: "These are too far away for ordinary people."

"A lot of things, when you should touch them, you will naturally touch them. When you shouldn't touch them, it's better not to forcibly spy on them."

"Brother Mu, you are new to the way of qi and blood cultivation, your mind should be pure, and you must not be too ambitious."

With such words, Chu Mu secretly sighed that it was a pity, but there was nothing he could do.

"The pastor... has been taught."

Chu Mu cupped his hands, knowingly didn't ask any more questions, walked to the side, and sorted out the various herbs according to Mr. Li's instructions...
