Uncle Ma pointed at Zhang Shan and said loudly: "You are the monk, and your whole family is a monk!"
"What are you talking about, monk?" Zhang Shan glared at him and said, "Didn't you see that I have hair?"
Uncle Ma rolled up his sleeves and said angrily: "Who do you think has no hair?"
Zhang Shan was not weak at all. He glared and said, "What's the matter? This is the county government. You, a monk, still want to take action?"
"Uncle Ma, why are you here?"
A cold voice sounded at the yamen door at the right time.
After a while, Uncle Ma's chest heaved. He looked at Zhang Shan hiding at the door and said to Li Qing dissatisfied: "You should take good care of your subordinates. They are so unruly..."
Li Qing poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Uncle Ma came to the county government office for something important?"
Uncle Ma drank the tea in one gulp and said: "Wu Bo died, and our fifth lineage suffered a lot. Although we don't blame the county government, he died on official business after all. The county government must give an explanation...
"
Uncle Ma's words were awe-inspiring, but Li Mu didn't see how sad and angry he was. He drank a few cups of tea and suddenly said: "I have to tell your county magistrate about this matter, please take me there."
Find him..."
Magistrate Zhang originally didn't want to see the people sent by Fu Lu, but Zhang Shan accidentally betrayed him and could no longer hide.
When Zhang Shan came out, he had a big footprint on his butt, and he said to Uncle Ma with an unlucky look: "Your Excellency, the County Magistrate, invites you..."
In the front hall of the county government office, Magistrate Zhang came out with a smile on his face and said: "Your distinguished guest is here, and this county is not far away to welcome you..."
Although the Fu Lu Sect is powerful in Beijun, the entire North County is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Uncle Ma did not hold back and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate is polite, you are polite..."
Magistrate Zhang said: "The zombie disaster in Zhou County almost spread to this county, thanks to the masters of the Fulu Sect."
Master Uncle Ma said: "It's all as it should be. Those who practice cultivation should love and care for the people..."
County Magistrate Zhang stood up, helped him add some tea, and said, "Your distinguished guest is coming from afar, why not try the fine tea collected in this county."
Uncle Ma had just drank several cups of tea, but he could not resist Magistrate Zhang's enthusiasm. After several cups of tea, his stomach was already a little bloated. He wanted to mention Wu Bo's incident, but was beaten by Magistrate Zhang many times.
break.
Magistrate Zhang rambled on and on, talking about him in different directions, always preventing him from getting to the point.
After another cup of tea, Uncle Ma finally couldn't help it and said directly: "I'll tell you the truth, Lord County Magistrate, I'm here this time for the death of Master Nephew Wu."
Magistrate Zhang showed a sad look on his face and said: "This county is also very sorry for the death of Wu Captou. This is not only a loss for the Fulu Sect, but also a loss for our Yangqiu County Government. These days, every time I think about this matter
, I feel so heartbroken and wish I could crush that zombie into ashes..."
Uncle Ma looked at County Magistrate Zhang blankly. If someone didn't know what he was doing, and saw him like this, he probably wouldn't have thought that Wu Bo was a disciple of the Fulu Sect, but a beloved relative and friend of County Magistrate Zhang...
This made it difficult for him to say any words of accountability.
However, the main purpose of his coming here was not to hold people accountable. He patted Magistrate Zhang on the shoulder and comforted him: "Everything in the world is impermanent, so there is no need for the magistrate to be too sad. I am sorry and accept the change..."
Magistrate Zhang had tears in his eyes: "I am heartbroken. This is all my fault. I should not have allowed him to go to Zhou County at that time..."
Uncle Ma quickly said: "This is not the fault of the county magistrate. The county magistrate does not need to blame himself..."
Magistrate Zhang put away his tears and said: "Stop talking about these sad things, come, fellow Taoist Ma, have tea..."
"I can't drink anymore, I can't drink anymore." Uncle Ma waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I came to Yangqiu County this time to ask for something."
Being so disturbed by Magistrate Zhang, Wu Bo's incident has been completely forgotten in his mind.
Magistrate Zhang smiled and asked, "I wonder what happened to fellow Taoist Ma?"
Uncle Ma sighed and said: "Daoyou Zhang also knows about Wu Bo's qualifications. Our lineage has cultivated him as a key seedling. Now that he has fallen, it is a great loss for us.
When I went down the mountain this time, I actually wanted fellow Taoist Zhang to help me find some good seedlings..."
"I'm sorry that I can't help you with this." Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Zhang straightened his face, sat upright, and said, "Young Taoist Ma, you don't know that this is strictly prohibited by the imperial court, right?"
Uncle Ma certainly knew this. The reason why the relationship between the Fu Lu Sect and the Great Zhou court was not so close was because the court never opened the door for them to facilitate this matter.
Of course, the court also had its considerations. Although there were only eight simple horoscopes for birth dates, in the eyes of practitioners, they were more than just numbers. It was very simple to indirectly take a person's life through his birth horoscopes.
What's more, if those people with special physiques were informed by evil cultivators of their birth dates, their lives would be in danger. Therefore, the Zhou Dynasty court strictly prohibited people outside the government from accessing household registration.
He calmly took out a letter from his arms, handed it to County Magistrate Zhang, and said, "This is a letter from the Magistrate. Zhang Daoyou can read it first."
Magistrate Zhang opened the letter, and the first thing he looked at was the county magistrate's seal at the signature place. He put his hand on it, closed his eyes and felt it for a while. After confirming that it was correct, he looked at the content of the letter.
Uncle Ma smiled and said: "It's not just Yangqiu County. This time, the county guards of the thirteen counties in Beijun have made special exceptions. I think our Fulu Sect and the county guards, fellow Daoist Zhang, won't be able to trust us, right?"
Magistrate Zhang read the letter carefully and found that the content of the letter was exactly the same as what Uncle Ma said.
Perhaps because Fu Lu sent a lot of force to quell the zombie disaster in Zhou County, the county governor specifically stated in the letter that he was asked to provide some convenience to the people of the Fu Lu faction in this matter.
He had to obey the Sheriff's orders.
Magistrate Zhang thought for a while and said: "Although the Fulu Sect has contributed to the stability of Beijun, this county can only check your household registration for three years. Within three years, among the newborns born in Yangqiu County, if there are any special constitutions
, this county can inform you that if the three-year time limit is exceeded, we will not investigate again."
Uncle Ma nodded and said, "Three years is enough."
Magistrate Zhang added: "Moreover, the only people who can check the household registration information are our Yangqiu County police officers, and neither Capt. Li nor Capt. Han can participate."
For practitioners, it is a big taboo for others to know their horoscopes or to find out other people's horoscopes. Uncle Ma had no objection to this and said with a smile: "It's all up to Daoist Fellow Zhang."
…
Li Mu only stayed at the Yamen for two hours today and then strolled back home.
It wasn't that he was lazy, but that Magistrate Zhang gave all the practitioners in the county government a leave of absence, leaving only Zhang Shan Li Si and a few other policemen who had not practiced Buddhism. They went to the household and sealed the doors and windows of the household.
It's closed, it's mysterious, I don't know what it's doing.
Li Mu was not curious about this and enjoyed this rare leisure time very much.
He opened the door and walked into the courtyard. After a while, Liu Hanyan flew over from the other side of the courtyard wall and asked doubtfully: "Why are you leaving office so early today?"
Li Mu took out the books in the study to dry them and said, "There isn't much going on in the Yamen today."
Liu Hanyan said: "Wanwan and I are going to wash clothes later. If you have any dirty clothes, I will help you wash them."
Li Mu took out two pieces of dirty clothes, handed them to her, and said, "Thank you."
He was not polite to Liu Hanyan. On weekdays, Liu Hanyan and Wanwan would occasionally help him wash clothes. When they encountered heavy work such as moving things, they would come to Li Mu.
Liu Hanyan waved his hand, took Li Mu's dirty clothes, and flew back to his yard.
Li Mu brought out a chair and sat on it comfortably, basking in the sun while casually taking a book from the stone table to read.
These days, Yangqiu County is not peaceful. It was not until recently that it finally became more peaceful.
Li Mu was basking in the sun, and the sound of Liu Hanyan and Wanwan washing clothes could be heard next door. Everything was so harmonious. He had experienced many twists and turns these days. This rare comfort made Li Mu feel a sense of stability in this world.
The years are quiet...
He looked at the book and found that the content in the book was very familiar.
Li Mu opened the cover and found the words "Shen Yi Lu" written on it.
Li Mu had already read this book at the county government office. He wanted to put it down, but his hand paused.
He clearly remembered that there was a page missing in the county government's "Supernatural Records". Li Muzheng was reading it with gusto at that time, and he still remembered this point.
Yunyan Pavilion collected this book from somewhere. Although it was a bit old, there were no missing pages. Li Mu turned to those pages and read them again.
These pages are about the body of yin and yang and the five elements, and are closely related to Li Mu and Liu Hanyan. Liu Hanyan has obviously read this book and made a mark on it.
The place where she made the mark happened to be a body of pure yin and pure yang, which is a natural dual cultivation constitution. The author also expressed his point of view here.
The general meaning is that there is no such thing as pure yin and pure yang, and it is even rarer to have the right gender and age. If you encounter one, you might as well just practice dual cultivation together, otherwise you will be living up to God's gift...
Liu Hanyan finished washing his clothes and when he came over, he happened to see Li Mu reading that page.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Li Mu coughed lightly and took the initiative to break the embarrassment and said: "Double cultivation depends on feelings..."
Although Liu Hanyan had never thought about this, she was obviously disliked at this time. She snorted softly and said, "After so many years, have you found your relationship?"
One single dog actually laughed at another single dog. Li Mu asked back: "You haven't found it either?"
"I didn't want to find it."
"I don't want to look for it either."
Li Mu suddenly looked at Liu Hanyan and said, "You said in a few years, if one of us is still unmarried and the other is unmarried, then..."
Liu Hanyan raised his eyebrows: "What about that?"
Li Mu sighed: "Then it would be too miserable for us..."
But then he denied this possibility and said: "Even Zhang Shan can get a wife, so I shouldn't..."
Li Mu sighed and continued reading.
The page below is a missing page in the county government book.
What Li Mu saw last time, the content about the body of yin and yang and the five elements, was finally picked up.
"Pure yin, pure yang, and the five elements. These seven innate physiques are born to gather energy. One day of practice can equal the effort of an ordinary person for several days. The souls of the yin and yang of the five elements also have the power of creation. If Dongxuan can gather them all, they can assist
Taking the souls of thousands of living people and refining them into oneself, there is a chance of transcendence..."
Detachment is the name for the seventh realm of Taoism.
What this sentence says is that if a Dongxuan practitioner can gather together the souls of Yin Yang and Five Elements, and supplement them with a large amount of soul power, there is a glimmer of hope that he can advance to the transcendent realm.
However, this method is too vicious. It not only requires collecting the souls of Yin Yang and Five Elements, but also kills a large number of innocent people to take the power of their souls. It is the work of evil cultivators. No wonder the county government book said that
This page was torn out.
To take a step back, although this method is against the odds, it is also very difficult.
An evil cultivator who kills one person will be wanted by the government. If he kills thousands, he will have been wiped out by the righteous way long ago. How can he still survive to advance to the next level?
Moreover, how easy is it to collect all the souls of Yin Yang and Five Elements?
So far, there are not many people he knows who have this kind of physique.
Li Mu himself is Chunyang.
Liu Hanyan is pure yin.
Zhao Yong has a body of fire, but he is already dead.
Ren Yuan was born with a body of wood, and because he became an evil cultivator, his head fell to the ground.
Wu Bo had an earthly body, and his body was burned by Li Mu himself.
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he knew a lot of people with special physiques, and except for him and Liu Hanyan, no one had a good outcome...
Strictly speaking, Li Mu himself has already died once.
In the past few months, around Li Mu, there were pure Yang, fire, wood, and earth bodies. Due to various reasons, their bodies died and their souls dispersed.
The sun above his head was fierce, but Li Mu suddenly felt a dark wind blowing around him, making his whole body shiver.
Liu Hanyan looked at the fine knots on his arms, looked up at the sun, and asked doubtfully: "Are you cold?"
