The middle-aged man took out a bronze mirror from his arms and said to Li Mu, "Look at it."
Li Mu looked at the bronze mirror. A handsome face was reflected in the smooth bronze mirror.
The middle-aged man raised his hand and shot a white light into the bronze mirror, and then stared at the bronze mirror. Seeing that there was no change for a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, put away the bronze mirror, and said: "Three souls have left the body, but
It’s not common, but it happens occasionally. There is no evil spirit on the body, the magic weapon does not respond, and the past events can be recalled. It is not that the body is possessed by evil spirits, nor is it taken over and reborn..."
He looked at Li Mu and said again: "The three souls have been out of the body for too long, and they will lose part of their memory, but no matter what, it's good to be alive. These days, you should rest at home instead of coming to the county office."
After saying that, he waved to all the government officials and said: "It's okay, everyone should go back..."
After confirming that Li Mu was not possessed by an evil spirit, everyone felt obviously relaxed. Two detectives, one fat and one thin, walked beside Li Mu. The short and fat one put a hand on Li Mu's shoulder and asked:
"Li Mu, do you still remember us?"
Li Mu shook his head.
"What, you actually forgot about us!"
The pudgy detective had a look of disappointment on his face, "Thanks to us two brothers for collecting your body, we also bought you a straw mat and carried you to the mountain exhaustingly. You don't know how valuable that straw mat is.
I want fifty cents a piece, do you know how hard it was for me to get the fifty cents yesterday..."
…
On the way back, Li Mu learned the names of the two detectives.
The short and fat one is called Zhang Shan, and the tall and thin one is called Li Si. Like Li Mu, they are both county government agents. They helped take care of Li Mu's funeral.
Although he was almost buried alive by the two of them, this was all a misunderstanding. Li Mu bowed his hands to the two of them and said, "Sorry to bother you two..."
"They are all colleagues, as they should be." Zhang Shan waved his hand, and then said: "I just talked about straw mats. A straw mat costs fifty cents..."
"Did you mention the straw mat just now?"
"There's none?"
…
Walking through the bustling crowd on the street, Li Mu looked a little dazed.
An hour ago, he was in a ward filled with the smell of disinfectant, surrounded by modern instruments and equipment. But what he saw now was all quaint buildings, people in ancient costumes, and a bustling city...
It's like being in a dream.
If this is really a dream, Li Mu hopes that he will never wake up. The real world is even more cruel to him.
Zhang Shan and Li Si followed Li Mu because Li Mu wanted to return their money for the straw mat when he returned home.
The reason why Li Mu asked them to follow him was, firstly, because it was natural to pay back debts, and secondly, because he couldn't remember where his home was.
Of course, there was another most important reason. He needed to get some information about Li Mu and the world from the two of them.
Li Mu's life experience is very simple. His mother died when he was a child. His father was a policeman in the county government. He died in the line of duty two years ago. Li Mu inherited his father's business. A year ago, he became Zhangshan Li Si.
Colleagues.
As for this world, under Li Mu's insinuating inquiries, the fragmentary memories in his mind were gradually confirmed.
This is a strange and mysterious world. There are monks who are pursuing the way to immortality and can use Taoism and magical powers. There are also demons and ghosts who are causing trouble and can use evil and ghost arts...
There are ten continents and three islands in the sea. The Kingdom of Zhou is located on Zuzhou and above the ten continents. In addition to the human country, there is also the Youdu Ghost Realm and the country of ten thousand monsters. Within the four seas, it is the territory of the water tribe...
"Practice practitioners can pray for sunshine and rain, and use the wind to spread mist..."
"Practice to the highest and deepest levels, and you can also move stars and change battles, and mediate destiny..."
"Those demons and ghosts with advanced Taoism are also very powerful. Even practitioners are no match for them..."
…
The ghosts and ghosts that enchant people sound a bit scary, but as a person who has been influenced by Chinese mythology and culture since childhood, these things not only do not scare Li Mu, but also make him feel excited.
"This is your home."
Zhang Shan pointed to a house on the street. Li Mu took out the key from his waist and opened the door of the house.
This house is the ancestral home of the Li family. It is located in a prosperous area of the county. Although it is small in size and has only one entrance, it is enough for Li Mu to live alone.
Zhang Shan and Li Si stood in the yard. Li Mu said, "Wait a moment, I'll go get the money."
Following his memory, he took out a box from under the bed in the bedroom, but there was nothing in the box except the house deed and title deed.
After searching the room carefully, Li Mu couldn't find a single copper, and even the rice vat was empty.
He walked to the yard and said apologetically to the two of them: "Sorry, I forgot where I put the money. Why don't I pay you back after the monthly salary is paid in two days?"
The monthly salary is due in two days. Zhang Shan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go patrolling the streets first..."
Li Mu tried to persuade him: "Let's go after dinner..."
Li Si looked up at the westward sun and said, "Okay, it's just time for dinner..."
When the two of them walked towards the back room, Li Mu smiled and said: "It seems that there is no rice at home, why don't you lend me some more money..."
The two people's steps suddenly stopped.
Zhang Shan turned around and bowed his hand to Li Mu, "I suddenly remembered that my wife is still waiting for me to have dinner at home..."
Li Si continued: "I also have something important to do. I would like to say goodbye..."
"Farewell!"
…
Zhang Shan and Li Si left without looking back. Li Mu put away twenty copper coins and stood in the yard, looking at the sun that was about to set in the west, with a confused expression and wandering eyes...
In a short period of time, he experienced a series of incredible things, including death. He needed enough time to adjust his mentality to face the new life that was coming...
While Li Mu was confused about the way forward, outside Yangqiu County, there was an inaccessible valley somewhere deep in the mountains.
Several foxes were jumping and playing in the grass beside the stream, making cheerful "yingying" sounds.
"You fell into a hunter's trap, and a human boy saved you..." Under an old tree by the stream, an old fox spat out human words.
The little fox with a wound on his leg lay on the grass, nodded, and said, "He bandaged the wound for me and told me to be careful in the future..."
"This is troublesome..." The old fox said with a sad expression on his face: "The grace of saving my life is a big cause and effect..."
The little fox raised his head and asked: "Grandma, you often say that the fox fairies must repay their kindness. How should I repay him?"
A fox jumped over and said with a smile: "Of course I promise you with my body..."
"Go, go, go..." The old fox drove it away, and then sighed: "If the fox fairy clan wants to cultivate into a nine-tailed celestial fox, it must fulfill the cause and effect in the world. The grace of survival is a great cause and effect, and it must be repaid.
, but your Taoism is too shallow now, so you should concentrate on practicing in the mountains first, and wait until later to repay your kindness..."
