Li Mu does not belong to the old or new party, nor does he belong to the Queen.
If I had to say who he was, it should be Liu Hanyan's.
He was just used by the New Party to achieve certain political goals for the Queen.
The struggle between the old and new parties was aimed at the issue of the ownership of imperial power. The conflicts were mainly concentrated in Zhongjun, which was thousands of miles away from Northjun. No matter how long the old party stretched its hand, it could not reach here.
He was not too worried about being involved in a party struggle thousands of miles away, but he was a little curious. The Great Zhou Dynasty was not the Great Tang Dynasty, nor was it Wu Zhou. The Xiao royal family had been inherited for such a long time, so how could the imperial power suddenly be controlled by a woman with a foreign surname?
There is no detailed description of this incident in the history books, only a few sentences are used to describe it.
As for the gossip about the Queen, I wonder if the old party is deliberately spreading it, and the people have always been talking about it.
For example, when she was still the crown prince, she was not favored by the prince. When the former emperor died and the prince ascended the throne, she was still a virgin when she took the throne.
Another example is that not long after the prince ascended the throne, she used despicable means to murder the prince, and then deceived the truth to gain the recognition of the ancestral temple, get that ray of imperial aura, advance to transcendence, intimidate the Xiao royal family, and seize the imperial power from them.
In recent years, there has been a lot of criticism among the people about a woman becoming emperor, but there is one fact that cannot be denied.
That is the controller of the most powerful country on the land of Zuzhou, a young woman.
The Empress of Zhou ascended the throne as emperor at the age of twenty-five. It has only been three years since she was born. She is only nine years older than Li Mu, but she is already the most powerful woman on this continent and the most powerful person in the seventh realm.
It was okay for Li Mu to hear this. After all, he was still young. If the slovenly old man thought about this, he would probably completely lose his mind.
He no longer paid attention to these things that had nothing to do with him, and said to Capt. Zhao: "Master Shen is awake. Please ask for a leave for me. I want to go back to Yangqiu County."
Zhao Captou waved his hand and said: "I will tell you, please pay attention to your safety. In the past two days, three Shen Gathering practitioners died mysteriously. It's not very peaceful outside..."
Yunyan Pavilion has four stores in Yangqiu County, but only two in the county.
Now that the shops in the county town are on the right track, Liu Hanyan wants to go back to the county town for a visit, and Li Mu offers to accompany her.
When Liu Hanyan inspected the store, he happened to go to Bishui Bay to see Su He.
Three people and one demon returned to Yangqiu County from the county seat. The flying boat that Li Mu exchanged for last time at Dizi Pavilion finally came into use. Although Liu Hanyan and Wanwan had been practicing for several months, they were still the first
The next time I went up to the sky, I hugged Li Mu's arm tightly and dared to look down from above.
The flying boat was extremely fast, and the journey that originally took half a day only took two hours this time.
Liu Hanyan went to the store to check the accounts, Wanwan and Xiaobai stayed with her, and Li Mu left the county town and headed for Bishui Bay.
As soon as he walked into the illusion under Su He's cloth, Li Mu noticed two yin energies.
Two female ghosts, one large and one small, were sitting cross-legged outside the wooden house, practicing breathing. The aura on their bodies had increased significantly compared to the last time Li Mu saw them. They were probably not far from the third realm.
"Sir, you are here!"
Sensing Li Mu's aura, the older female ghost immediately woke up from her practice. When she saw Li Mu, she stood up suddenly and spoke in surprise.
Li Mu still didn't feel Su He's aura and asked, "Is she not out of seclusion yet?"
The female ghost said: "Sister Su came out of seclusion once, taught us some cultivation methods, and then went into seclusion again. She said it would take a few months for her to come out of seclusion completely."
Su He's time in seclusion this time was longer than expected.
The realm of Master Qianhuan is too high, and the soul power contained in even a split soul is extremely huge. Su He is already close to the peak of the fourth realm. I am afraid that when she refines Master Qianhuan's soul power and comes out, she will be the fourth realm.
The ghosts of the Five Realms.
The number one ghost general under King Chu Jiang and the girl Xiaoyu who enjoyed the benefits of the original Taoism were in this state.
Li Mu was a little disappointed when he didn't see Su He, but there was nothing he could do. He walked to the water's edge and looked at the green pool in trance.
He has not forgotten that there is another biggest threat to Su He under the pond.
Once the female corpse from the pond comes out, it will definitely devour Su He and make herself perfect.
Similarly, if Su He could refine the spiritual wisdom born from the corpse, his strength would be doubled after he had a body to inhabit.
Li Mu is much stronger now than he was then. He dived underwater again, and the underwater altar appeared in his eyes.
After digesting the memory of Master Qianhuan, the runes on the altar that seemed extremely mysterious to him in the past no longer have any secrets.
This is an exquisite corpse-raising formation that relies on this water vein to seal the corpse in the altar here.
This altar has obviously been used once. After Su He died, his physical body accidentally fell into it, and the formation was activated again. In the past twenty years, the corpse in the formation has been born with spiritual wisdom and possesses the Taoism of the fourth realm.
As if aware of Li Mu's prying eyes, the female corpse lying quietly on the altar opened her eyes again.
At the same time, Li Mu felt a strong suction force erupting from the altar, seeming to suck his soul in.
However, at this time, Li Mu was no longer the rookie who only combined one soul and two souls.
His six souls have been completely refined, and his three souls have also turned into souls. This suction force cannot shake them at all.
The female corpse opened her eyes and looked at Li Mu. They were both calm.
Li Mu can't get in.
She can't get out either.
Unless this water vein is cut off, Bishui Bay dries up, and there is no spiritual power flowing into the altar, it will naturally become ineffective, which is when the female corpse comes out of the battle.
After having the experience of Master Qian Huan, Li Mu could easily see that the upper limit of the strength of the corpses that could be trapped by this formation was the fifth level. When she was nourished by spiritual power and evolved into the flying zombie of the fifth level.
, you can come out of the altar without drying up the Bishui Bay.
According to the aura on the female corpse and the speed at which the altar gathers energy, it will take about ten years for her to reach the fifth realm.
Within half a year, Su He will be promoted to the fifth realm. At that time, the altar formation will no longer be able to trap her, and she can leave here at any time.
This female corpse under the water no longer poses any threat to Su He.
After coming out of the water, he used magic power to dry his clothes. After a while, Li Mu gave instructions to the two female ghosts on their practice, and then left Bishui Bay.
Although Master Qianhuan was Li Mu's disaster, he was also his blessing.
He almost caused Li Mu to lose his second life, but it was him who gave Li Mu the experience and knowledge of a Dongxuan practitioner when he was in the Soul Refining Realm.
In his mind, in addition to those evil ways and methods, he also knew a lot about Buddhism, Taoism, demons, and ghosts. It was easy to guide the two resentful spirits in their practice.
After leaving Bishuiwan, Li Mu did not return to the county town, but came to Jinshan Temple.
He sent a young monk to pass the message, and after a while, Xuandu strode out and said happily: "Donor Li has finally figured it out and wants to take refuge in my Buddha..."
Li Mu said: "I'm here to see Miss Xiaoyu."
Xuandu felt a little pity and said: "Miss Xiaoyu is doing well in the temple, but the evil spirit in her body is too strong. It will take some time to resolve..."
Before he took Li Mu to the Buddhist temple, Li Mu saw a girl wearing monk's robes, kneeling on a futon together with many novice monks, reciting Buddhist scriptures. Every time she chanted it, the evil spirit in her body would be reduced.
.
While chanting sutras, she suddenly felt something in her heart. She slowly turned around, saw Li Mu, ran over quickly, and said happily: "My benefactor!"
Li Mu smiled and asked, "Are you used to it here?"
The girl nodded and said: "I'm used to it, the master and the little masters are all very good to me."
Seeing Xiaoyu's current appearance, Li Mu felt much relieved.
Before coming, he was worried that she would not be able to let go of her hatred, which would affect her character. Now it seems that letting Xuandu take her to Jinshan Temple was a very correct decision.
Before she died, she used her own resentment to perform that Taoist technique for the first time, and gained huge benefits from it. She was directly promoted from the Yin spirit to the fifth realm. If her mind was lost and she became a demon, Li Mu would also have to bear a lot of responsibility.
Most of the sins.
After seeing Xiaoyu, Li Mu taught her some ghost cultivation techniques. Although she was high in cultivation, she didn't know how to use them or how to practice them. Her magic power would not increase in the future. She knew the path of ghost cultivation.
Then she can continue to practice downwards.
Xuandu looked at Li Mu and asked, "Did the imperial court not embarrass Donor Li about Miss Xiaoyu?"
"No." Li Mu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty intends to use this matter to frighten the local officials and make them restrain their power and not dare to bend the law for personal gain and disregard human lives."
Xuandu clasped his hands together and said happily: "Amitabha, it seems that this matter has finally awakened some people in the court."
Li Mu remembered something and asked, "Isn't Master Puji in the temple?"
Xuandu smiled and said: "Uncle Master went to the ancestral court of the Xin Sect to comprehend the realm of freedom. I don't know when he will come back. Does Mr. Li have anything to talk to Uncle Master?"
Self-reliance is the sixth realm of Buddhism, corresponding to the Taoist Dongxuan. There are not many masters like this in the ancestral court of the Heart Sect. No wonder Jinshan Temple has such a high status in the Heart Sect.
Li Mu said: "I have something I want to ask Master Puji. Since the abbot is not here, I have to trouble Master Xuandu."
Xuandu said: "Donor Li, please speak."
The White Demon King had helped Li Mu a lot, but just being sucked on by the Bai Yinxin sisters a few times was not enough to repay the favor.
Li Mu's Buddhist cultivation level is extremely low and he cannot send the Buddha's light into the ice coffin, but Xuan Du is at the peak of the fourth realm and is only one step away from the fifth realm. With his help, there may be a chance.
.
After listening to Li Mu's words, Xuandu nodded and said: "The White Demon King's good reputation is well known to many poor monks. Since it is about the White Demon King, I will accompany you on this trip."
Li Mu and Xuandu came to Yang County, first found the rat demon and asked him to report on their behalf.
Half an hour later, the White Demon King came from the clouds.
Xuandu clasped his hands together: "I've seen the White Demon King."
The White Demon King returned the greeting: "Master Xuandu, I have long admired your name..."
After saying that, he looked at Li Mu and asked, "What's important, little brother?"
Li Mudao: "I came here with Master Xuandu this time because of the Demon King's wife. Master Xuandu's Dharma is profound and he may be able to awaken her soul."
The White Demon King's eyes were moved, but he still shook his head and said: "In the past ten years or so, I have invited Dharma ministers and monks from the realm of freedom, but even they can't do anything..."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Give it a try, and the situation won't be worse."
The White Demon King thought for a while, nodded and said, "I'll spare you the trouble."
Not long after, several people came to the ice cave. When Xuandu saw the woman in the ice coffin, he was surprised and said: "Unexpectedly, the Demon King's wife is actually a dragon..."
