After Li Mu's "comfort", Han Zhe's condition seemed much better.
Li Mu's mood was a little depressed.
During this corpse removal operation, Wu Bo and Senior Brother Qin taught Li Mu a good lesson.
Zombies are scary, but what’s scarier than zombies is the complex human heart.
The outside world is too complicated. After three days away from home, Li Mu began to miss Liu Hanyan, Wanwan, Zhangshan Li Si, and Lao Wang...
Han Zhe had calmed down, jumped down from the roof, and said, "I want to go back to the sect and bring back the news about Senior Brother Qin and Wu Bo. I will leave this place to you."
Except for the fleeing flying zombie, all the zombies in the underground cave have been eliminated by Li Mu and others. There is no longer any danger in Qinghe Village. There are a few practitioners stationed there, which is enough to deal with various situations.
It was late in the evening before Xuandu returned to Qinghe Village.
He looked a little tired, shook his head and said: "Feizheng ran too fast, and the poor monk couldn't catch up with it..."
The reason why Flying Zombies are called Flying Zombies is because they can fly into the sky and escape from the earth. Their strength is not on the same level as Jumping Zombies. Practitioners in the fourth realm of Buddhism or Taoism may have the strength to kill them, but they want to catch them.
They are extremely difficult.
Li Mu sighed, and the courage he had gained just flew away.
The vigor of the walking zombies and zombies nearby were all sucked away by the zombie king and used for evolution. If Li Mu wanted to collect the vigor, he could only continue to go deeper.
But in that case, the risk will also double.
A thoughtful look appeared on Li Mu's face. He was hesitating whether he should take this risk or not.
Xuan Du looked at him and suddenly asked: "Does the little donor want to take the zombie's soul and use it for his own cultivation?"
Li Mu nodded and did not deny it.
"These days, the poor monk, apart from a lot of zombies, has also collected a lot of courage. I originally wanted to polish his body, but I think the little benefactor needs it more, so I will give it to you." Xuandu took out a jade stone from his arms and said
: "I wonder if these are enough?"
"How can this be so embarrassing..."
Li Mu quickly took the jade from Xuandu's hand. After some exploration, he found that the jade contained a lot of courage. It should be enough for him to refine his anger, and there was still a lot left. With a smile on his face, he said: "
That's enough, that's enough, thank you Master Xuandu."
Xuandu smiled and said, "No thanks, the poor monk has something to ask for from you after all..."
Han Zhe returned to his ancestral court in Baiyun Mountain, and Li Mu also gained the courage he needed from Xuandu.
After discussing with Li Qing, she decided to ask Li Mu to go back to the county office first and report Wu Bo's matter.
After all, Wu Bo was nominally the head catcher of the Yangqiu County government. He had a strong background in the Fu Lu sect. If he died here unexpectedly, the government would probably have to give an explanation to the Fu Lu sect.
Li Mu can't help much with matters here. His greatest goal has been achieved, and there is no need to stay in Zhou County.
Xuandu clasped his hands together and said, "The poor monk will stay here for a while. After returning to Yangqiu County, he will go to the county government to ask for a small benefactor."
After all the zombies in the underground cave were wiped out, Qinghe Village ushered in a peaceful night. Not a single zombie came. Early the next morning, Li Mu and Li Qinghui said goodbye and drove for several hours using magic talismans. In the afternoon
It was almost dark when I arrived at the county government office.
After hearing what Li Mu said, County Magistrate Zhang jumped up from his chair in shock and said in disbelief: "What, you said Wu Bo is dead?"
Li Mu nodded and said: "Captain Wu died in the hands of a flying zombie."
"It shouldn't be..." County Magistrate Zhang frowned and said, "Although Wu Bo is annoying, he has strength. How could he die so easily?"
In fact, Li Mu also felt the same way.
Although he didn't like Wu Bo, he had to admit that Wu Bo was very strong. Although he was a concentrator, it was difficult for practitioners of magical powers to benefit from him.
Even if he was attacked from behind by Senior Brother Qin and had his heart crushed, he was still able to survive. He was a core disciple of the Fulu Sect and had a grandfather in the Creation Realm. He had countless life-saving tricks. His death was indeed a bit hasty.
Either Wu Bo is strong on the outside but is actually a fool, or Fei Zheng is too strong, but no matter what, the fact that Wu Bo is dead cannot be changed.
Magistrate Zhang sighed and murmured: "This is troublesome. It's so hard to die. If you die at this time, how can this county explain to the Fu Lu Sect?"
Li Mu asked: "Are you afraid that the Fu Lu Sect will cause trouble for the county government?"
"Afraid, who has this county been afraid of?" Magistrate Zhang snorted coldly and said: "The imperial court of Zhou Dynasty is behind our county, will we be afraid of their Fu Lu Sect?"
He coughed lightly and said: "However, the county has been busy with official duties recently and has no time to wrangle with them. If Fu Lu sends someone, you can say that I am not here..."
Although the Fu Lu Sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty cooperated a lot, they were not close.
The imperial court did not like that the Fu Lu Sect was aloof and uncontrolled, and the Fu Lu Sect was dissatisfied with the imperial government's failure to cooperate with them in recruiting disciples. Although they cooperated, they also had their own differences.
This can be seen from the zombie disaster in Zhou County this time.
If the Fu Lu Sect wanted to help the court wholeheartedly, it would only need to send a practitioner of creation or Dongxuan, and one person could solve the crisis in Zhou County, instead of just sending these disciples of gathering gods and supernatural powers, which would cause the disaster in Zhou County to be delayed.
.
Li Mu walked out of the front office. Zhang Shan was waiting outside and asked impatiently: "Is Fei Bo really dead?"
Li Mu nodded and said: "I was bitten by a zombie and died completely. I burned the body with my own hands."
Zhang Shan's eyes widened and he murmured: "I just said that evil will be punished, Lao Wang still doesn't believe it..."
Li Mu still had some questions to ask Lao Wang and asked: "Where is Lao Wang? I didn't see him at the check-in just now."
Zhang Shandao: "Lao Wang asked for leave and just left this morning."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where are you going when you ask for leave?"
"Said he was going to visit relatives in other places." Zhang Shan sighed and said regretfully: "Old Wang actually has relatives. If you think he died, would he leave money to his relatives..."
Lao Wang was not at the county government office, and he didn't know when he would be back. Li Mu suppressed the problems in his heart and had no choice but to go home first.
Last night, he took the opportunity to refine the fear in his body and successfully condensed the fourth soul.
After getting rid of the old Taoist's death curse, Li Mu felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
The physical body without the seven souls will decay quickly. Now that Li Mu has condensed the four souls, the speed of the physical body's decay is far slower than the speed of cultivation. It is like a pool that is filled with water and released at the same time. Before condensing the four souls, the water is poured into it.
The speed cannot keep up with the speed of water release. After condensing the four souls, it will be reversed.
The remaining three souls are not in a hurry to condense for the time being. Li Mu can condense the souls first and find opportunities to condense the souls later.
Refining the soul and condensing the soul are not only the realm of cultivation, but also the way of cultivation. Refining the soul first and then condensing the soul, or condensing the soul first and then refining the soul. Some wild practitioners do not refine the soul, do not condense the soul, and do not concentrate the spirit.
, you can also reach the middle three realms just by practicing Qi.
It's just that there are very few such people. After all, the Taoist practice method is easy to obtain. First, refine the soul, then condense the soul, and finally gather the mind. It is also the most scientific way of practice, which can maximize the strength of the practitioner.
He has magical power, but has not condensed his soul, and his soul power is weak. Once his physical body is destroyed, he has no other choice but to turn into a ghost cultivator.
After condensing soul last night, there was still a small amount of courage left in the jade stone Xuandu gave him, enough for Wan Wan and Liu Hanyan to refine a soul each.
When Li Mu was about to reach the door of his house, he saw Wanwan sitting on the steps of the door, holding her chin in one hand, watching the people passing by on the street in boredom.
Li Mu walked to sit next to her and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"Master!"
Wanwan's body trembled, she jumped up suddenly, and said in surprise: "Sir, you are back. The lady has been worried about you these days!"
Rushing footsteps came from the yard, and when they reached the door, they became slow again. Liu Hanyan opened the door and walked out, saying: "I'm not worried about him, I'm just afraid that he will be bitten by a zombie, and you will have no place to eat in the future...
…”
Liu Hanyan's voice was full of resentment. She didn't know whether she was still angry from last time or was angry at Li Mu for leaving without saying goodbye. Li Mu rubbed his stomach and changed the subject: "Do you have anything to eat? I've been on the road all day.
I'm starving to death..."
Liu Hanyan glared at him and said, "Go change clothes and wash hands. I just cooked noodles..."
The noodles cooked by Liu Hanyan also tasted very good, and Li Mu ate three bowls in one go.
She glanced at Li Mu and asked, "When did you become the same as Wan Wan?"
Li Mu drank the soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth, took out a piece of jade from his arms, and handed it to Liu Hanyan.
Liu Hanyan stretched out his hand to take it, rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Don't think that I can forgive you by giving you a piece of jade. If you leave without saying goodbye next time, I will pretend that I don't have you as a friend..."
Li Mu explained: "This is not an ordinary jade. Don't you think your cultivation speed is slow? The power in this jade can help you and Wan Wan refine their souls."
Liu Hanyan was startled and asked, "Is this the purpose of going to Zhou County?"
Li Mu nodded and said: "However, when it comes to practice, it's best to be down-to-earth and don't always think about shortcuts. There is a huge gap between the magic power gained through hard work and the magic power gained through trickery, and it also has a great impact on people's character.
Grind.”
Even though Li Mu believed in Liu Hanyan, he still told her the example of Senior Brother Qin.
It was Li Mu who guided her on the path of spiritual practice, and it was his responsibility to remind her not to go astray.
Liu Hanyan said: "Don't worry, even if I have to take a shortcut, I won't take this shortcut."
Li Mudao: "Besides this, there is no shortcut to practice. Of course, you are different. You have other shortcuts..."
Liu Hanyan's eyes lit up and asked: "What shortcut?"
