Hearing Zhou Daoquan say the name Wanhua Building, Li Mu looked confused: "Where is that place? It doesn't sound like a serious place?"
Zhou Daoquan laughed loudly. He stared at Li Mu with his eyes flashing: "It's just a romantic place. Scholars rushing to take the exam will usually go together when they arrive in Yunzhou City, recite poems, write poems, and do romantic things. When Mu Zhi arrives,
There, you might as well go with a few of your close classmates."
Li Mu said sternly: "Students have always loved themselves. It's better to leave these fallen flowers and willows and weeds and poplars to others."
Zhou Daoquan immediately blushed, and veins popped out on his forehead with excitement: "What do you mean by a broken flower and a willow? Ah? Since the brothel exists, there is a reason for its existence! This place of brothel fireworks, if you don't go, I won't go, those
What does the girl eat and drink?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "The student just said it casually, why should the boss care so much."
Zhou Daoquan scolded: "Is this something you say casually? This is a mockery of the countless scholars in our Yin Dynasty! Could it be that when we go to brothels to recite poems and paint, those female prostitutes will be dead flowers and willows? There will be no Qing courthouses.
Huh? This is simply unreasonable! If you have never been to a brothel, don’t make any assumptions!"
Li Mu hurriedly apologized: "It turns out that the boss is also a frequent visitor to the brothel. The students are too ignorant and speak impulsively. Don't blame the boss."
Zhou Daoquan murmured: "What do you mean by a frequent visitor to a brothel? I only go there occasionally to have a drink and listen to a few songs. How can I be called a regular customer? Mu Zhi, don't slander me!"
He repeatedly scolded Li Mu: "Things done by scholars are all matters of elegance. Don't use dirty words to humiliate the romantic!"
Li Mu smiled and said: "I see, the students are ignorant, please forgive me."
"I miss you for being ignorant, so I'll bypass you this time!"
Zhou Daoyuan snorted and said: "When you arrive in Yunzhou City, I will punish you by treating me to a glass of water and wine at Wanhua Tower!"
Li Mu smiled and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say. When the students arrive in Yunzhou, they will definitely send a message to the boss, asking the boss to go to Wanhua Building for a good meal."
Zhou Daoyuan then nodded with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it. Okay, everything is done today, let's go back!"
When Li Mu and others left the hall, Zhou Daoyuan called out to Li Mu: "Muzhi, please stay, I have something to say to you."
After everyone left, there were only two people in the entire hall, Li Mu and Zhou Daoyuan.
Li Mu stood in the hall and looked at Zhou Daoyuan: "May I ask, Sir, why are you calling the students?"
Zhou Daoyuan: "Wait a moment."
He turned and looked at the back hall: "Guard Shen."
Shen Chong turned out from behind the screen and said, "Sir, I have a humble position."
Zhou Daoyuan took Shen Chong's hand and came to Li Mu: "Come, let's do it together!"
The two of them bowed and saluted Li Mu at the same time: "Thank you, Mu, for saving your life!"
Li Mu was startled and hurriedly helped the two of them up: "You two adults must not do this!"
He looked confused and said: "The student is just a scholar, how did he save two adults? Did the two adults make a mistake?"
Zhou Daoquan and Shen Chong looked at each other, then looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "You're right, Mu Zhi should know better than us."
He took out a fist-sized seal from his arms and handed it to Li Mu: "I have had nothing to do these days, so I made a seal. It's just a small gift. Although it can't be regarded as a life-saving favor, it is a kind of kindness at least. Mu's , just don’t dislike it.”
Next to him, Shen Chong took out a silver mirror and handed it to Li Mu: "The Green Mountain Seal made by your Excellency was made by shrinking a small mountain with great magic power. No one in the world except immortals and Buddhas can compete with it. I don't have your magic power, Your Majesty." He only has a silver mirror with him, which is of some use. If Brother Li meets the person he likes, it can be a small gift to please him."
Li Mu reached out to take the seal and silver mirror, and kept saying: "This is too precious, and the students are not worthy of it."
"Students would not dare to accept such a treasure."
He said he didn't dare, but he didn't hesitate in accepting the gift. After taking the seal and silver mirror, he smiled and put it in his bag.
Zhou Daoquan burst out laughing: "Mu Zhi is indeed a real person!"
Compared to the past few days, his appearance has not changed, but his temples have become grayer, and Shen Chong next to him is much older. He was originally a man in his prime, but now not only his hair is gray, but he also has many more wrinkles. , just seven or eight days, it feels like you have aged for decades.
It seems that these two people were affected by the decaying aura of the cave world, which led to their current situation.
Li Mu felt the same way: "I was just outside Queyue Mountain, and nine of my hairs turned gray after being affected. The two of them entered the cave, and they are considered to have advanced cultivation until they die..."
After receiving the gifts from the two of them, Li Mu bowed slightly and exited the county office.
"They were hunted down in such a panic, how could they find out that it was me who saved them?"
After walking out of the county government office, Li Mu was puzzled: "I used the art of space to block all perceptions, and I was just like a god or a Buddha. As long as I was not proficient in the art of space, there was no way I could know where I was at that time. How could I be like this?" Master Zhou knew it was me?"
He walked slowly on the road until he reached the house, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Gu Qingcheng was playing chess with Hu Yunniang under the pavilion in the courtyard. Seeing Li Mu thinking hard, he immediately asked: "Brother, what's bothering you?"
Li Mu came to the pavilion, pulled up a round stool and sat down, and said with a smile: "You two happen to be here. Please help me think about it. I am a little confused about this matter today."
Immediately, he told the two women what happened to Zhou Daoquan today: "We are doing things secretly, how did they know about it?"
Gu Qingcheng said in surprise: "Is there anything else?"
When she said this, her face changed slightly: "Brother, we may underestimate Master Zhou's cultivation."
Li Mu didn't know why: "Why do you say that?"
Gu Qingcheng said: "If Zhou Daoquan wants to know who saved them a few days ago, there are actually many ways."
Li Mu said: "He is a Confucian practitioner and a member of the government. Not only can he send subordinates to inquire about information, but he can also use Confucian divination techniques to find out. But no matter how great his magical power is, he may not be able to divination.
It is impossible for the imperial spies to find out any useful information about my origin."
Gu Qingcheng said: "Brother, have you ever heard of the great supernatural power of seeing the sky and hearing the earth?"
Li Mu was stunned: "The sky sees and the earth hears? What kind of skill is that?"
Gu Qingcheng said: "It is said that when you reach the realm of immortals and Buddhas, your eyes can penetrate many obstacles, see many things, and hear the three realms and six paths, as well as thousands of voices. People with great supernatural powers can even travel through the long river of time and see thousands of years.
What happened in the past and hear the words of ancient people thousands of years ago."
Li Mu: "..."
He laughed dumbly: "You don't want to tell me that Master Zhou also knows this legendary magical power, right?"
Gu Qingcheng said: "You may not have great magical powers, but you may not be unable to have small magical powers. In this small Qinghe County, let alone Mr. Zhou, even us, as long as we listen attentively, ordinary movements can never be hidden from us.
Ears. Maybe we have been talking too carelessly these past few days, and people have overheard a few words, so we have inferred something."
When she said this, she glanced around and said with a chuckle: "Do you think it's Mr. Zhou?"
