Madam Chu's current cultivation level has been completely stabilized in the soul realm.
The old man in gray clothes may have reached the peak of the fourth realm, but under the consumption of Li Mu's two earth-level talismans, his blood essence and blood were greatly damaged, and there was no mana left in his body. Mrs. Chu was enough to deal with it.
Li Mu took back the stack of talismans in his hand. This is actually the reason why practitioners from other sects rarely provoke disciples of the talisman sect.
For hundreds of thousands of years, the Fu Lu Party's research on talismans has reached its peak.
They know how to use talismans to activate the power of heaven and earth, or seal the magical powers of their elders in talismans, and use them to fight the enemy at critical moments.
In this way, the opponent seems to be facing a disciple of the Fu Lu Sect, but in fact, he is facing a strong person from the Fu Lu Sect.
If it were not for the higher-level talismans, the materials required would be more precious, and the success rate would be lower. Even if the Talisman Sect gathered all the power of the sect, they would not be able to draw a few heaven-level talismans in a year, and the position of the head of the six sects of the Tao Sect would not be in their turn.
Xuanzong came to sit down.
Mrs. Chu came back soon, and the old man in gray clothes only had his soul left.
The old man's spirit was scattered and he was extremely frightened. He couldn't help but say: "Spare my life, my lord, spare your life!"
Li Mu asked again: "Who asked you to kill me?"
The old man quickly explained: "I just received the task, I don't know who the employer behind the scenes is..."
Li Mu has always been in Beijun. When it comes to anyone or forces he has offended, the Demon Sect is one of them. After all, Master Qianhuan and King Chujiang died in his hands either directly or indirectly, but these two things
, only a few people knew that when the Demon Sect wanted to settle accounts, they also went to the county governor, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant, but could not find Li Mu.
Apart from this, the only people he offended were the old party members of the imperial court.
The brother of the wife of the magistrate of Nayang County, a certain minister in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was a member of the old party.
The Yangxian incident started because of Li Mu, and because of Li Mu, the old party's conspiracy came to nothing. It is very possible that people in the old party hold grudges and secretly send assassins to deal with Li Mu.
If you just ask, you can't get any news from the old man's mouth.
Li Mu glanced at him and said to Mrs. Chu: "Search for his soul."
Mrs. Chu shook her head and said: "His Taoism is higher than mine, and I can't search his soul."
Li Mudao: "No problem, I will teach you."
Under normal circumstances, soul searching can only be done by cultivators searching for mortals, and high-level cultivators searching for low-level cultivators. However, this is not absolute, and exceptions can be made using some evil methods.
Li Mu will never show mercy to those who want to kill him.
He directly erased the old man's sanity and passed the Demon Sect's soul-searching method in Master Qianhuan's memory to Madam Chu.
Madam Chu took a deep breath, and the old man's soul without intelligence was sucked into her body. Madam Chu entered Bai Yi, Li Mu glanced at the four puppets who could no longer move, and brought them into the Hutian World, and then
Walk towards the county town.
When they were about to reach the city gate, Mrs. Chu sent some information obtained from the soul search to Li Mu through Bai Yi.
Such a picture appeared in Li Mu's mind.
The picture is from the perspective of the old man in gray. A figure in black robes stands in front of the old man and says in a hoarse voice: "This little catcher from North County has made my master very dissatisfied. I will give you half of what you want first."
, after everything is done, I will give you the other half..."
Li Mu couldn't see clearly the face of the dark figure, only that his back was a little stooped and his voice sounded older.
His identity could not be known from this information alone, but Mrs. Chu searched the memory of the old man in gray to find out his origins.
This old man in gray clothes comes from the divine capital of Zhongjun, where the Great Zhou Dynasty is located. It is self-evident who is behind the scenes.
County government.
Li Mu placed the four puppets in the yard, and the three adults all looked ugly.
Today, for some unknown reason, Commander Lin, Commander Chen, and Lieutenant Shen are all in the county office.
Sheriff Lin asked: "Can you tell me who did it?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "These are just a few unconscious puppets. The real killer is dead. I didn't ask who was behind the scenes. I only know that the man came from the capital of God and was ordered to come to Bei County to assassinate me."
"Shendu..." Chen Juncheng said with a gloomy face: "Have they become so bold and reckless?"
Lieutenant Shen Jun said leisurely: "It seems that your Majesty's public opinion has risen due to the incident in Yang County, which has made some people in the old party very dissatisfied. They did not hesitate to send people thousands of miles away to assassinate you. Fortunately, they underestimated you and did not send a killer from the Creation Realm. …”
I went to Baiyun Mountain. At this moment, Li Mu was carrying the Golden Armor Divine Weapon Talisman. Even if a master of the Creation Realm came, he would just give away his head.
However, although some people in the old party are dissatisfied with him, in the final analysis, Li Mu is just a small policeman. Those people will not be willing to waste more resources on him, and it is unlikely that they will send out a powerful person.
Sheriff Lin said: "I will write a letter to report this matter to Your Majesty."
After speaking, he took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Li Mu, and said, "Your Majesty's envoy has just arrived in Beijun. There is a good fortune pill in this bottle, which is a reward from your Majesty."
Li Mu had seen the name of Good Fortune Pill several times in various books.
This elixir is a top-grade heaven-level elixir that conquers the creation of heaven and earth. The living dead, flesh and bones, no matter how seriously injured you are, no matter whether it is your body or your soul, as long as you have one breath left, you can repair your body and soul by taking this elixir. For all injuries of Yuan Shen, it is one of the top elixirs.
Having this elixir is equivalent to having a second life.
If Li Mu had possessed such elixirs back then, Xiaobai's grandma would not have left her.
However, although the efficacy of this elixir is heaven-defying, the materials for refining this elixir are very rare. Many heavenly materials and earthly treasures are not found in Zuzhou. Some of them are grown in the Ghost Land of Youdu, and some are grown in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Monsters. , and there are also unique things that grow at the bottom of the four seas or are only found in other continents, which require a lot of effort and cost to collect.
Not only is it difficult to gather the materials, but it is also extremely difficult to refine this elixir. It is already very rare for a top alchemy master from the Danding Sect to succeed in refining the elixir just once out of ten times.
Due to various reasons, the Creation Pill is very rare. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure. Li Mu has only heard about it in books and has never seen it.
He couldn't wait to open the jade bottle, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance overflowed from the bottle. Li Mu noticed that the three of them, County Guard Lin, swallowed involuntarily.
Li Mu immediately took it to the Hutian Space. This Good Fortune Pill was the most precious thing he owned so far. Li Mu felt like they were at a loss if they were allowed to take a sip of the elixir's fragrance.
Her Majesty the Queen is indeed generous. She rewarded him with a fortune pill just for the matter of Yang County. His contribution to the county was hundreds of times greater than that of Yang County. What would she reward herself?
Li Mu thought about it and found that with his knowledge, he couldn't imagine it at all.
He looked at Sheriff Lin, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
Sheriff Lin felt uncomfortable looking at him and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
"No."
"Then why are you staring at me?"
Li Mu asked: "Your Majesty, don't you have any reward for the King of Chu Jiang?"
Sheriff Lin was surprised and said: "Didn't I already reward you with the Good Fortune Pill?"
Li Mu said in surprise: "Isn't the Good Fortune Pill due to Yang County's contribution?"
"Yang County..." Governor Lin then realized that Li Mu had accomplished two great feats in a short period of time, and explained: "This Good Fortune Pill was intended by His Majesty because you saved tens of thousands of people in the county.
Regarding the reward given to you, Your Majesty has another reward regarding Yang County."
Li Mu thought that Her Majesty the Queen was so shrewd that she wanted to reward both for her achievements, but now it seems that he was narrow-minded and underestimated Her Majesty's mind.
He asked with some expectation: "What is the other reward, a heaven-level talisman or a heaven-level magic weapon?"
"No." Sheriff Lin shook his head, looked at Li Mu, and said, "Congratulations, Li Mu, you are about to be promoted."
"Promotion?"
Li Mu was stunned when he heard this. He had been in the county government for two or three months and had risen from a small catcher to the position of chief catcher. There were only three adults above him in the county government.
He said in disbelief: "Does Your Majesty want me to be a county lieutenant?"
"You have a great idea. You have never been to an academy and you want to be an official..." Commander Shen glanced at him and said, "His Majesty will transfer you to Shendu and let you be the head of the capital government."
Shendu is the county seat of Zhongjun and the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The jurisdiction of the Du Yamen is within the Shendu, which is smaller than the scope of the Beijun County Yamen. The County Yamen governs the thirteen counties of Beijun, and the Du Yamen is only in charge of the affairs within the Shendu.
Calculating it this way, Li Mu was not promoted, but demoted.
However, the rank of officials under the emperor's feet is different from that of the local government. The rank of the governor of Duya is no lower than that of the Yangqiu County magistrate.
The problem is that Li Mu doesn't want to go to such a far place. In the county government, he can visit Liu Hanyan once a month, but in Shendu, he may not be able to visit her once in half a year.
What's more, Shendu is the base camp of the old party. He is far away in Beijun, and they dare to send assassins here. If he goes to Zhongjun, wouldn't those people eat him alive?
Sheriff Lin seemed to see his worries and said: "You are not worried about safety issues. You are far away in Beijun, so they dare to use some small tricks. But when they are in front of His Majesty, they dare not act rashly. They are also afraid of being attacked by Your Majesty."
Seize the handle..."
Regarding safety issues, Li Mu actually didn't worry too much. Unless they sent practitioners from the sixth realm, if one came, Li Mu would be able to keep one.
The problem is, this section is not included in his plan for the future.
The Capital of Gods is a place of right and wrong, and Li Mu is unfamiliar with the place. Although there may be more opportunities and richer spiritual resources, there are bound to be more dangers. He is unwilling to get involved in the political struggle between the new party and the old party.
Li Mu looked at Sheriff Lin and asked, "Can I not go?"
Sheriff Lin sighed and said: "In fact, many things in life are beyond your control. Whether you want it or not, it can't change the fact that you are His Majesty's. The old party has noticed you, even if you don't go
In the capital of God, the next troubles will follow one after another..."
