Standing at the gate of the palace, Zhang Chun let out a long sigh.
Although Cui Ming has been dismissed from office and has become a wanted criminal, it seems that he has defeated Cui Ming, but in fact, in other aspects, he is always inferior to Cui Ming.
What a superficial world this is. They divide people into three, six or nine grades based on their appearance. Countless women like Cui Ming and Li Mu who look like them. These good-looking people are loved and pursued. No matter in life,
The official career is smoother than most people's. Even the Demon Sect's selection of undercover agents requires good looks...
And ordinary-looking people like them often have to work several times harder to get what they have at their fingertips.
He shook his head and sighed: "She's superficial. Women in the capital of the gods are just superficial. I didn't expect that even the Demon Sect is so superficial..."
"The more handsome the person, the more likely he is to be suspected. Isn't this king very dangerous?" The voice from behind interrupted Zhang Chun's sigh. He turned around and saw King Shou standing not far behind him and Li Mu.
, with a worried look on his face.
Zhang Chun's eyes paused for a moment on Prince Shou's protruding belly and said, "My lord, you are worrying too much. No one in the court is safer than you."
King Shou patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good..."
After saying that, he seemed to realize something. He pointed at Zhang Chun and said angrily: "Zhang, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that I am not handsome? You are just a mere Prime Minister of Zongzheng Temple.
Dare to commit the following crime..."
"The official doesn't mean that."
"I think that's what you mean, and you won't urinate and look at you. What qualifications do you have to talk about me? I tell you that when I was young, I was also a handsome man famous among gods..."
…
King Shou cursed and got on the sedan, Zhang Chun turned back to Shendu Yamen, and Li Mu bought some vegetables and went home.
He had just returned from a business trip and planned to give himself a few days off.
When I walked to the door of my house, I saw a figure standing there.
Mrs. Chu stood there, looked at Li Mu, and said, "My lord is back."
Li Mu looked at her and said: "Cui Ming is an undercover agent of the Demon Sect. The court has wanted him in the thirty-six counties. He can't escape. Just wait for the news in Shendu."
Mrs. Chu shook her head and said: "I am here to say goodbye to you. Cui Ming and I have a life-and-death feud. I want to kill this beast with my own hands..."
Li Mu thought for a while and did not persuade her again.
In the past twenty years, she has lived solely on hatred. Her only goal is to kill Cui Ming with her own hands for revenge. This is her knot and obsession.
If she couldn't personally kill Cui Ming and resolve this obsession, it would be difficult for her to improve her cultivation.
Between the fifth realm and the sixth realm, there is the biggest chasm between the first six realms. As long as a practitioner can break through to the magical power realm and advance to the realm of creation, it is just a matter of time. Those with lower qualifications can always be promoted after decades of hard work.
.
But advancing from the fifth realm to the sixth realm is not just a matter of endurance. There are many good fortune-telling people in the court. The thirty-six chief officials are all good fortunes. However, there are only a few strong Dongxuan people. Chu
If Madam's heart is not resolved, she will only be a ghost in the fifth realm in this life.
Li Mu looked at her and said: "You should be careful yourself. Cui Ming escaped from the capital of the gods and there may be masters of the Demon Sect around him. You'd better join up with the strong men from the imperial court and act together."
Mrs. Chu nodded and said, "I understand."
After she finished speaking, she slowly knelt down on the ground and said: "Thank you for your kindness in taking me in and helping me. After Chu Yun'er killed Cui Ming, if she is alive, I am willing to serve you as your master and work as a cow or a horse for you to drive me."
…”
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "No need, you have been living for hatred for the past twenty years. I hope that after killing your enemy, you can live for yourself."
Mrs. Chu was a poor person, and she was unkind to others, which resulted in her own death and the death of her entire family. However, compared with the daughter of the Jiujiang County Governor, she was lucky because she had the opportunity to kill her enemies with her own hands.
She was already unfortunate enough in the first half of her life, so Li Mu felt uneasy about accepting her as a servant.
Mrs. Chu kowtowed to Li Mu three times and turned to leave.
The space around Li Mu was filled with her gratitude. Ever since he condensed the seven souls, he rarely practiced by absorbing emotions. Compared with spiritual jade and telekinesis, the way to generate seven emotions is very troublesome, but Chu
Li Mu did not waste the emotions left behind by his wife.
In the way of spiritual practice, the easier it is to obtain power, the more difficult it is to practice it.
For example, the spiritual power of heaven and earth is contained everywhere in space. As long as you know how to guide it, you can take it and refine it for practice. However, this method of practice is extremely slow and it is very difficult to improve your realm.
Special powers such as the Seven Emotions and Mind Power, although very difficult to obtain, can greatly increase the speed of practice. The reason why Li Mu's practice improves so fast is not because he is a pure Yang body, but because the entire god
The people in the capital are all supporting his practice with their mind power.
Of course, the most important reason was that he met the Queen.
If the Queen hadn't given him that initiation when he encountered a bottleneck in his practice, I'm afraid Li Mu would still be stuck in concentration.
Not only did she help Li Mu break through the realm, but in the past few nights, she also used the art of dreaming to teach Li Mu magical powers in his dreams. Under her step-by-step guidance, Li Mu made rapid progress. In just three days, he mastered it again.
Two magical powers.
In addition, Li Mu would also play chess and chat with her in his dreams. Of course, more often than not, he would ask the Queen for advice on spiritual practice.
After watching Mrs. Chu leave, Li Mu returned home and cooked the meal. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the conch, activated it with magic power, and spoke to the conch.
"Your Majesty, have you eaten?"
There was no response from the conch for a long time. Just when Li Mu was about to put it away, the space in the courtyard fluctuated and the Queen's figure appeared out of thin air.
Li Mu was filled with envy when he saw this skill transforming a living person into a living being. However, the teleportation technique required the peak of Dongxuan to be used, so he still had a long way to go.
When he was in Beijun, he used the Good Fortune Pill to save Su He, and Li Mu planned to show more care for the queen after returning to the capital of the gods.
She is actually an ordinary woman trapped in a cage. This has nothing to do with her status as a queen or her transcendent strength. What she needs most is not power or strength, but family and friends.
Li Mu couldn't become her relative, he could only try to be her friend.
Moreover, Xiao Bai, who has healing power, should be able to let her experience some feelings that the palace cannot.
After the meal, the Queen gave Xiaobai instructions on his practice for a while. Before leaving, she suddenly looked at Xiaobai and asked, "Do you want to go to the palace to play with me?"
Xiao Bai was a little moved, but looked at Li Mu first.
Li Mu nodded and said, "If you want to go, just go with Sister Zhou."
As a single dog, she stayed up most of the night and cooked conch porridge with Li Mu just to hear about his love history with Liu Hanyan, which was enough to show how lonely the queen was.
Xiao Tian is naturally cute and cured. She stays with the Queen and can relieve her of some loneliness.
Different from Shangguan Li and Master Mei, in Xiaobai's heart, there is no Queen Zhou, but Sister Zhou who treats her very well and gives her the blood of Tianhu. The Queen has no shortage of people who respect her and respects her.
She is someone who is not afraid of her status as queen and gets along with her as an equal.
High places have always been rare. Whether it is the pinnacle of strength or the pinnacle of status, once you climb to the top, you will easily become a loner.
Xiaobai had been thinking about the beautiful scenery of the palace garden for a long time. After seeing Li Mu agree, he happily held the queen's hand and said: "Okay, okay..."
The two figures disappeared in front of Li Mu again. Li Mu walked to the yard and began to practice new magical powers.
A moment later, in the imperial garden, Zhou Wu looked at Xiaobai and asked, "Xiaobai, how did you meet Li Mu?"
Speaking of this incident, Xiaobai showed a bright smile on his face and said: "That was before I transformed, and I accidentally fell into a hunter's trap. It was my benefactor who saved me and bandaged my wounds. From that
From then on, I vowed to repay my benefactor..."
Zhou Wu curiously asked: "How to repay?"
Xiaobai's pretty face blushed slightly and said: "I want to marry my benefactor and stay with him all my life..."
Zhou Wu was slightly stunned and asked: "Don't he already have a fiancée?"
Xiaobai said: "My benefactor has Sister Liu and Sister Wanwan, and he can also have me. The three of us will stay with our benefactor all our lives..."
Zhou Wu had already forgotten something. Xiaobai's words reminded her of the ridiculous scene she had seen in Li Mu's dream that night. This made her feel inexplicably panicked, having never had such an experience before.
I even had a deep heart palpitations.
Then she was suddenly shocked. This was not the first time she had felt like this on the path of spiritual practice.
This is...the inner demon!
As her cultivation improves, her inner demons will become stronger and stronger, transcending the realm. Once the inner demons are born, the consequences will be disastrous. She wants to suppress this palpitations, but the more she doesn't think about the picture in her mind,
It becomes clearer.
She finally suppressed this palpitation with supreme concentration. She felt extremely regretful in her heart.
She transformed into the woman in his dream and played with him in every possible way, making Li Mu mistakenly believe that he had a demon inside him.
Now she finally got her comeuppance.
Moreover, she couldn't blame Li Mu for this matter.
Because she invaded Li Mu's dream without his consent, she can only blame herself.
Xiaobai was playing in the imperial garden, while Zhou Wu returned to the palace and sat cross-legged on the bed.
The inner demons should not be taken lightly. If you ignore them, your cultivation may stagnate, or your cultivation may regress, or you may even become possessed.
Her inner demons arise because of Li Mu. The simplest and fastest way is to kill Li Mu, and her inner demons will naturally be eliminated.
But she can't and won't do that.
How could she be willing to kill her most capable and caring minister who understood her the most, supported her the most, and would offend all the courtiers in the palace, the old and new parties, and the three major academies for her?
Zhou Wu took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and began to think about other possibilities to eliminate her inner demons...
