Liu Hanyan and Wanwan stood behind Li Mu, looking at the little fox not far in front of them with fear on their faces.
The little fox lowered his head, as if he had made a mistake, and occasionally raised his head, looking at Li Mu pitifully.
This pitiful look made Li Mulian unable to even express any words of blame.
"Okay, okay..." Li Mu took his arms out from their chests, waved his hands, and said: "This is Miss Liu Hanyan, and this is Wanwan. You should get to know each other first, and then in front of them,
You don’t have to hold it in anymore.”
Li Mu pointed at the little fox again and introduced Liu Hanyan, "This is..."
He was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he hadn't asked its name yet, so he looked at the little fox again and asked, "What's your name?"
"noob."
"This is Xiaobai, a little fox. I rescued it from a hunter before, and it came to repay my kindness."
Liu Hanyan's impression of monsters only existed in dramas and dramas. Compared with those monsters and spirits that eat people at every turn, this little fox doesn't seem that scary.
What's more, with Li Mu here, the fear she had just now quickly disappeared without a trace, and she asked curiously: "How can it repay its kindness?"
Li Mu shrugged, saying that he didn't know either.
The little fox immediately said: "I can help my benefactor beat his legs, clean the house, and warm the bed!"
Wanwan had a dumbfounded expression on her face, and she was no longer afraid. She said dissatisfiedly: "If you do this, what should I do..."
Although this is a fox, it is a female fox. In order to prove his innocence, Li Mu explained to Liu Hanyan: "It is the tradition of their clan to repay a favor. If she does not let him repay a favor, she will not be able to repay her kindness in the future."
There will be problems in practice..."
Li Mu turned a blind eye to her every day. Liu Hanyan naturally did not doubt what Li Mu had in mind for a female fox. Looking at this cute little fox, curiosity finally defeated his fear of monsters. He knelt down and asked softly
Said: "Xiao Bai, apart from talking, what else can you do..."
The little fox lowered her head with a sense of inferiority. She was just a little demon who had just been born. Apart from imitating human speech, she didn't know any magic.
But it soon regained its confidence, sniffed, raised its head and said: "I don't know anything now, but when I transform, I will repay my benefactor!"
"Transform into human form..." Liu Hanyan looked down at the little fox, then at Li Mu, and asked, "How do you want to repay me?"
The little fox said seriously: "If my benefactor doesn't mind me, I can pledge my life to you..."
Li Mu looked at Liu Hanyan's eyes full of meaning, understood what she meant, and explained: "This is not what I taught it..."
The little fox also nodded and said: "This is not what others taught me, this is what I saw in "Liao Zhai"."
Li Mu didn't want to say anything more, waved his hand and said, "You guys chat, I'll go cook..."
Master Qianhuan is dead, the biggest threat has been eliminated, and Li Mu can finally return to his normal life.
Although the little fox came to repay his kindness, Li Mu also treated it as a guest and asked, "What do you usually eat?"
The little fox said: "Eat wild fruits in the mountains. Grandma sometimes finds medicinal materials and sells them in the city. The money from the sales will be used to buy roast chicken for us."
Li Mu thought for a moment, and realized that foxes seemed to be omnivores and didn't have anything particular to do. When eating, he found a clean bowl, filled it with some food, stuffed a chicken leg into it, and placed it on the ground.
After eating, Liu Hanyan and Wanwan helped him wash the dishes and left. Li Mu said to the little fox: "I want to go out, you stay at home, don't run around."
The little fox nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, benefactor, I will take good care of the house."
Li Mu walked out and closed the courtyard door. The little fox ran a few laps in the courtyard, still savoring the taste of the meal just now.
After a while, it ran to the corner of the yard, picked up a broom in its mouth, and diligently swept the yard.
After cleaning the yard, she found another rag, wetted it, and wiped the tables, chairs, and cabinets in the room clean. When she arrived at Li Mu's study, she looked at the bookshelf full of books, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Shining light, he said blankly: "There are many books in my benefactor's house..."
It walked to the bookshelf and was envious for a while before jumping on the chair and climbing on the desk, carefully wiping the tabletop with the rag in its hand.
There were several unfinished manuscripts on the table. He was about to lift them up with his paws and wipe them when his movements suddenly stopped. He looked at the contents of the manuscripts and murmured: ""Liao Zhai" seems to have not been published yet.
This volume..."
…
Li Mu left home and walked out of the city.
The injury of Abbot Puji of Jinshan Temple will probably be completely healed after one more treatment.
Li Mu was still injured in his body. He originally wanted to rest, but he thought that when he was treating the abbot, Xuandu would give all his mana to him every time. By borrowing his mana, recovery would be faster and more convenient.
At Jinshan Temple, Xuandu stood at the door of the temple and said with a smile: "The poor monk has been waiting for Almsgiver Li for a long time."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Sorry, there are some delays in the Yamen."
"It doesn't matter."
Xuandu said something, then frowned and asked: "Almsgiver Li was injured?"
Li Mu said: "A little injury doesn't matter."
Xuandu took out a small bottle from his arms, handed it to Li Mu, and said: "This bottle contains a few elixirs that the poor monk asked for from the Alchemy Sect. It can increase mana and is also miraculous in treating injuries. Donor Li will accept it.
Bar."
The Danding Sect, like the Fulu Sect, is one of the six sects of Taoism.
The Fu Lu Sect is good at killing enemies with talismans, while the Alchemy Sect is good at refining elixirs. Their elixirs have a wide range of uses, including increasing mana, curing diseases and injuries, and can also be used as weapons to fight against the enemy.
Li Mu was not polite to Xuan Du. After taking the porcelain bottle, he poured one from inside and threw it into his mouth.
The elixir melted in his mouth, and the pure medicinal power was instantly integrated into his body. Li Mu was keenly aware that the mana in his body had increased a little.
And although his injuries have not completely healed, they are almost healed.
The backlash of that move was still too strong.
The split soul of Master Qianhuan withstood most of the backlash for Li Mu, but the remaining small part still caused Li Mu to suffer serious injuries.
In the future, this technique should not be used indiscriminately unless it is absolutely necessary and life is in danger.
This kind of self-exposure attack can injure the enemy a thousand and damage himself eight hundred. If he is not careful, he and the enemy will die together.
Li Mu could recover from the remaining injuries by himself and no longer wasted the elixir. He put the vial away. The elixir had little effect on him, but it was just right for Liu Hanyan and Wanwan.
The abbot of Jinshan Temple looks much better than before. He is an eminent Buddhist monk at the peak of the fifth realm. Apart from the masters of the Fulu Sect's ancestral court, he has few rivals in Beijun. Unfortunately, he met Master Qianhuan.
He was injured while trying to eradicate evil cultivators. He has seen many practitioners who fell into evil ways for the sake of spiritual practice. In contrast, the old abbot is even more respectable.
The three of them sat cross-legged, Xuando put his hand on Li Mu's back, and Li Mu pressed against the abbot's back, chanting the Heart Sutra strangely, and a faint white light could be seen from outside the Zen room.
In the Buddhist hall, not only the monks of Jinshan Temple, but also the pilgrims in the hall have become accustomed to the dimly glowing Buddha statues.
These days, these Buddha statues are shining every day.
This has directly led to the number of pilgrims coming to Jinshan Temple to offer incense in recent days, which has increased several times compared with before, and the amount of sesame oil donated has increased even more than usual.
In the meditation room, Li Mu slowly withdrew his hand, looking much better than before.
When he was treating the abbot's injuries just now, Li Mu himself received a small kickback and borrowed Xuandu's powerful magic power to heal his own injuries.
"Amitabha……"
The abbot stood up, performed a Buddhist salute to Li Mu, and said, "Thank you very much, Donor Li, for these days."
Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "Master Abbot, you are polite. Master Qianhuan has done many evil things, and I was almost killed by him. Master killed him to eliminate harm for the people. Compared with Master, what I have done is nothing."
.”
The abbot didn't say anything else, but looked at Li Mu kindly and said: "Lao Na's foundation was destroyed. If Donor Li hadn't come to rescue him, not only would his cultivation be difficult to recover, but his life span would not even be left for a few years. With such a great kindness,
Jinshan Temple will definitely repay you one day."
Li Mudao said: "Master Xuandu saved me twice, and I should regard it as repaying his kindness."
"Xuan Du is Xuan Du, and I am Lao Mon..." The abbot suddenly held Li Mu's wrist and said: "Lao Mon, I have seen that Mr. Li is a Buddhist and Taoist cultivator, and I will help you again..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu felt a mana that was several times purer than Xuan Du pouring into his body from his wrist.
This magic power was rich and powerful, but Li Mu's body did not feel any discomfort.
On the contrary, he felt warm and very comfortable.
Traces of black substance were gradually discharged from Li Mu's body.
Li Mu already knew that these were impurities in his body. Xuandu helped Li Mu temper his body last time, but he didn't expect that he could still eliminate so many this time.
The abbot let go of his hand and said: "Donor Li is still two souls short of seven souls. This body tempering will prevent your body from being weighed down by the two lost souls."
Taoism refines the soul for the physical body, while Buddhism directly cultivates the body. Li Mu can feel the powerful power in his body, and even the discomfort caused by the lack of both souls has disappeared.
He was overjoyed and said to the abbot: "Thank you, master abbot."
The abbot smiled and said, "I should be the one who wants to thank you."
Tempering the body was good, but every time, Li Mu's clothes would get stained. When he left Jinshan Temple, he changed into a monk's robe.
At the door of the house, Liu Hanyan looked at Li Mu doubtfully and asked, "Why are you dressed like this again?"
Li Mu shrugged and said, "The official uniform is stained."
Liu Hanyan pinched her nose and took the dirty clothes from his hand. When she saw Li Mu's hand, she threw the clothes aside, grabbed Li Mu's hand, and said in surprise: "Why is your skin getting better again...
…”
"That's not right!" She looked up at Li Mu and said, "Every time you dress up like this, your skin gets better. What did you do secretly? Please tell me honestly..."
