Longevity starts with learning

"Get out of here!"

"Go in quickly!"

"You'll die if you don't go!"

The rumors about the No. 19 mine pit were obviously not a secret to most inspectors.

At the bottom of the mine pit, there was still some distance from the designated No. 19 mining area, and the inspectors who were originally escorting them stopped in their tracks.

The blades were unsheathed, and the shining blades, accompanied by scolding, forced the corvées to walk into the No. 19 mining area.

Chu Mu had already stopped and watched all this indifferently, without the slightest fluctuation in his expression.

"Sir, please have mercy on me!"

"I have old people above me and young children below me, and my family of eight people all depend on me!"

An old corvée knelt down in front of him, grabbed Chu Mu's trouser legs, and begged bitterly.

Chu Mu had a good memory, so he could naturally recognize that the old corvée in front of him was the old man who had made small requests to him many times when he was guarding the mine.

At this time of year, according to common sense, the old man should have completed half a year of corvee labor long ago...

The reason is obviously not difficult to see.

The old man begged bitterly, and Chu Mu stared at the poor old man in front of him indifferently, without saying a word, and even without comforting him.

"Team leader!"

"Brother Mu!"

Several inspectors on the side came forward, without moving, as if waiting for Chu Mu's order.

Chu Mu waved his hand, obviously a little bored.

"Go!"

"Get up!"

Several inspectors rushed forward, shouted and dragged the old man away, and then threw him directly into the No. 19 mining area.

"Brother Mu!"

Xu Yuan hurried over and quietly pointed in the direction behind Chu Mu.

Looking in the direction Xu Yuan pointed, a figure in white clothes surrounded by inspectors came into view. Chu Mu's pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly retracted his gaze.

Chu Mu whispered, "Follow me, don't walk around."

Xu Yuan nodded affirmatively, "I know."

"After this blood sacrifice, we must speed up the progress, before the end of next month..."

"I understand..."

"But... after this blood sacrifice, the corvée labor in the mine may be difficult to maintain the operation of the mine... If the higher-ups ask about it..."

"Do you still need me to do the corvée labor for you?"

"Please forgive me, sir. I will never let you down..."

As the white-clothed man and his party approached, the faint sound of their conversation also fell into Chu Mu's ears.

Chu Mu's expression changed slightly, he lowered his head slightly, and pulled Xu Yuan back a few feet, trying to avoid possible attention as much as possible.

Until the white-clothed man and his party walked away, Chu Mu's heart was finally put down.

"Blood sacrifice..."

Chu Mu pondered another term that seemed to be from the world of immortal cultivation, and then he was also a little confused.

Isn't it mining? Why is it related to blood sacrifice?

Blood sacrifice... for whom?

As Chu Mu thought about it, the scene of hundreds of ice-carved mummies appeared in his mind. His heart trembled suddenly. He looked up and looked at the mine not far away, where the corvées were already crowded inside and outside the mine.

Boom!

At this moment, as if with the arrival of the man in white, a roar that went straight to the sky sounded in the mine.

Then... the nightmare reappeared!

This time, Chu Mu saw it more clearly and more thoroughly.

As the roar sounded, a light blue gas surged out of the dark mine, as if a volcanic eruption.

In the blink of an eye, the No. 19 mining area was already a world of ice and snow.

The dense ice sculptures and the mummies in the ice sculptures that were almost identical once again appeared in Chu Mu's vision.

This time, it was not a memory, but another fact!

How many lives?

Chu Mu didn't have time to count them, but there was no need to count them. The dense ice sculptures and the team that looked like a long dragon when they were escorted down could all indicate the number of people.

Chu Mu looked at the ice and snow in front of him, and then looked at the man in white who had no expression at all, and Li Jinghong who had almost the same expression.

He seemed to understand a little.

Although he had guessed this understanding before, he could even say that he was clear.

The high and mighty cultivator really didn't care about the lives of mortals.

It can't even be said that he didn't care about the lives of mortals, but he didn't care about everything about mortals.

This is not just an isolated case in front of us, it is very likely a common phenomenon.

It's like people don't care about the ants at their feet, if they are stepped on to death, they are stepped on to death.

This fact is not only reflected in the ice and snow that is staged again and again in front of us.

It seems to be reflected in all aspects of this era.

Minerals are state-owned, and all mined minerals are not allowed to flow into the market. The ultimate source must be the high and mighty world of immortal cultivation.

Although there are many smuggling phenomena, iron ore also flows into the market and into the secular world through various channels.

But the formulation of this policy undoubtedly proves that the policy makers do not care about anything in the secular world.

They don’t care whether mortals have iron tools to use or whether they need iron tools in life.

The paper money that is ahead of its time seems to be the same.

The role of paper money is probably to better collect mundane metals.

As for whether paper money will be over-issued, devalued, or whether people will suffer...

People... care about the suffering of ants?

All this may just be a decision made by a high-ranking immortal cultivator who snapped his head.

Just like the man in white and Li Jinghong in front of him, the man in white snapped his head and made a decision, no matter whether it was reasonable or not, no matter what the cost would be...

Li Jinghong... dare to deny it? Dare not to execute it?

And all the consequences and costs, what people are living in poverty, what uprisings...

Can these threaten the high-ranking immortal cultivators?

Can the interests of the high-ranking immortal cultivators be damaged?

Chu Mu racked his brains to think, but it was difficult to find the possibility of threatening the immortal cultivators and damaging their interests.

Ordinary people, he is not afraid, will the immortal cultivators be afraid?

Even if he becomes a mortal with power, what can he do?

Sweeping the land, sweeping the world, what can he do?

Just like the civil uprising just now, even if it succeeds, what can it do?

Sweeping Nanshan Town, sweeping Qinghe County, at most to Qinghe County, it is estimated that it will alarm the high-ranking Nanshan Li family.

Li Jinghong, who is almost invincible among mortals, is extremely humble in front of the man in white.

Let alone those at a higher level, even if Li Jinghong sends out eight or ten of his level, it is not something that ordinary people can fight against. There is not much difference between ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand!

Not to mention, ordinary people are really no different from ants when facing immortals like the man in white.

Unless there are ordinary people who can cultivate a terrifying level that overwhelms the entire world of immortal cultivation, and then they can think about ordinary people wholeheartedly...

Otherwise, this kind of indifference will inevitably exist forever.

The world of immortal cultivation with great power in one person.

All those below the immortal path are ants.

He, Chu Mu, is also one of the ants.

He does not have any great ambitions, he just wants to get rid of the identity of an ant as soon as possible.

Even if he steps into the immortal path, he may be just a slightly larger ant, but at least, his life and death will not be in the thoughts of others!
