Although Li Mu told the Queen to do it as soon as possible, it was definitely not that fast.
Liu Hanyan didn't know when she would be released from seclusion. After she was released from seclusion, Li Mu was not allowed to stay with her for at least a month and do some ideological work for her so that she could return to Shendu with him as soon as possible.
This will probably take some time.
In addition, Li Mu now also shoulders the important task of repairing the Dao Bell.
He cracked the Dao Zhong. If he can't take responsibility to the end, what's the difference between him and those scumbags who deceived the little girl and ran away the first time?
Repairing the Taoist bell is a time-consuming and labor-intensive job.
Such as the Demon-Slaying Protective Curse, the Tao Te Ching, the Nine-Character Mantra, etc., are powerful. The first time they are cast, they will generate more source power of heaven and earth. If Dao Zhong does not risk his life to spy, but only absorbs the source power, then not only
It is not harmful to it, but beneficial.
Unfortunately, source power is extremely difficult to generate but very easy to dissipate.
When Li Mu used it for the first time, it was not with Li Mu, and those source powers have long since dissipated.
Li Mu could only use some small spells to add up to a small amount. After a few days, the cracks in the Dao Zhong had only healed 1/20. If he wanted to completely repair it, two months would probably not be enough.
Moreover, the spells he had risked his life to test were almost used up, and he would have to spend time to continue trying.
Before leaving Baiyun Mountain, I can only try my best to help it.
A few days later, Li Mu and Dao Zhong finally became completely familiar with each other.
Its initial fear of Li Mu had long since disappeared, and it would fly to him after morning classes every day and not go back until evening.
In addition to helping him repair the cracks, Li Mu also did some experiments on it in the past few days.
The Dao Bell is very hard, and even if Li Mu cuts it with the Qingxuan Sword, it will not leave any marks on it.
Not only is it invulnerable to swords, it is also immune to spells.
At least, all the magic attacks that Li Mu, who was in the realm of supernatural powers, could cast could not shake it at all.
It cannot be struck by lightning, invulnerable to fire or water, and can fire thousands of swords without even trembling. No wonder the Queen said it is the strongest defensive treasure known to the world of spiritual practice.
With this treasure, you can be invincible against anyone.
Even if the opponent is in a state of transcendence, Li Mu cannot cause harm to him, nor can he break through Dao Zhong's defense.
Of course, Li Mu has never fought against a powerful person who is transcendent. If he really encounters such a powerful person, even if the opponent cannot break the Dao Zhong, he can still be trapped inside to death.
However, the premise of all this is that Li Mu possesses this treasure.
But this is impossible.
For thousands of years, the Dao Bell has been the treasure of the Fu Lu Sect. No matter who wants to steal it, the Fu Lu Sect will fight him desperately. After thinking about this matter clearly, Li Mu no longer has any thoughts about the clock.
…
In an uninhabited valley somewhere in Baiyun Mountain, Li Mu blew a whistle, and the Taoist bell in the distance flew back. From the size of a palm, it immediately turned into a giant bell about ten feet tall, covering Li Mu inside.
Then, the clock body immediately became transparent, and Li Mu could see what was going on outside even though he was inside the clock.
He made a magic seal on his hand, and there was a strong wind outside, thunder and lightning, and rain and snow. After these few days of experiments, Li Mu found that he was inside the Dao Zhong, and outsiders could not attack him, but it did not affect his ability to use it.
Spells attack others.
Not only that, Li Mu took out a talisman and threw it, but the talisman actually passed directly through the transparent clock body. This shows that the defense of this clock is one-way controllable and can block attacks from outside the clock.
But it has almost no impact on the people inside the clock.
No wonder the Fulu Sect regards it as the treasure of the sect. The power of this bell is indeed worthy of this title.
Li Mu sighed. The more he knew about Dao Zhong, the stronger his desire to own it, but he also knew that it was someone else's thing, and he couldn't ask for it, and he couldn't ask for it.
Li Mu whistled again, and the Dao Zhong flew away from his head and turned into a palm-sized shape again, floating on Li Mu's shoulder, spinning non-stop.
Li Mu turned his head and glanced at it, and said: "You go back first, I will go shopping alone."
The Taoist bell buzzed for a while and flew away reluctantly.
During the days when Liu Hanyan was in seclusion, Li Mu was actually quite bored in Baiyun Mountain. Wanwan and Xiaobai were obedient to him, and Daozhong was as obedient as Li Mu's dog. At this time, Li Mu felt vaguely
The loneliness of the queen.
In life, you need both friends and enemies. If life is as peaceful as a pool of stagnant water, then it will just be the same day over and over again.
This is also the loneliness of spiritual practice.
Li Mu used to be able to endure loneliness when his life was threatened when his seven souls were not yet intact. Now that he is forced to practice hard in seclusion for several months, he may not be able to sit still.
Compared with boring practice, he prefers to compete with the officials of the New Party and the Old Party in Shendu, helping the people uphold justice and redress grievances, thereby gaining their telepathy. This is not boring, and is faster than simply practicing in seclusion.
quick.
This can also be regarded as a shortcut to practice, but few practitioners choose it.
This time when he came to Baiyun Mountain, Li Mu had not seen Han Zhe yet. It happened to be not far from the fifth peak. After Li Mu flew up to the fifth peak and informed the disciples guarding the peak, Han Zhe came quickly.
Before anyone else arrived, the voice came first and said to Li Mu from a distance: "I have heard that you came to the ancestral court a long time ago. I was worried about disturbing you and Liu... Master Liu, so I didn't go looking for you."
Li Mudao: "Since I came to Baiyun Mountain, Hanyan has been in retreat."
Han Zhe glanced at him and said, "Then if you don't come to me for a drink..."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Go to Baiyun Peak for a drink?"
When Liu Hanyan was around, the gap in their identities made Han Zhe embarrassed to appear in front of her. After all, although she was Li Mu's woman, she was also his uncle.
Hearing that Liu Hanyan was not here, Han Zhe said simply: "Let's go!"
"Wait, wait, wait, I..." A figure flew from behind, and Junior Sister Qin landed beside the two of them and said, "Take me with you..."
Han Zhe looked at her and asked: "If you don't practice well, why are you running out?"
Junior Sister Qin glanced at him and said, "I want to go too."
Han Zhe shook his head and said, "I'm going to drink with my friends, why are you joining in the fun?"
Junior Sister Qin said dissatisfied: "Are you the only one who is Brother Li's friend? I am also his friend. We have met three times. Brother Li, do you think I am your friend?"
Seeing Junior Sister Qin's pleading eyes, Li Mu nodded and said, "Yes, since Junior Sister Qin wants to go, let's come together."
Han Zhe didn't stop him anymore, he just sighed and said: "If you are so lazy in your practice, when will you be able to reach the point of concentration? Senior Brother Qin asked me to take care of you. Fortunately, you are a girl..."
Junior Sister Qin was stunned for a moment, then asked with a blushing face: "What's wrong with the girl?"
Han Zhe looked at her and said, "You are so disobedient. If you weren't a girl, I would have beaten you long ago..."
Junior Sister Qin's face turned from red to white and then blue, and she turned her head away angrily.
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Let's go."
On Baiyun Peak.
In the small building on the top of the mountain, Wanwan and Xiaobai were busy preparing side dishes in the kitchen. Junior Sister Qin was watching and studying. Li Mu and Han Zhe were sitting at the stone table in the yard. Han Zhe asked: "How have you been in Shendu lately?
"
Li Mudao: "It's okay."
Han Zhe said: "I heard that the officials and dignitaries in the divine capital are different from the disciples and elders of our sect. Their city is very deep and there are intrigues everywhere. If you are not careful, you will die without a trace.
You have to be careful out there."
Li Mudao: "Fortunately, most of them are actually quite simple-minded."
He took out a pot of wine from the Hutian Space, poured a glass for Han Zhe, and said, "Try it."
Han Zhe took a sip and felt that the wine was mellow and refreshing. One sip was equivalent to a day of practice. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What kind of wine is this?"
Li Mudao: "The tribute wine from Hanyang County is not bad, right?"
Han Zhe clicked his tongue and said: "You can even drink tribute wine. It seems that you are doing well in the city of God..."
The tribute wine was a gift from the Queen, and the Queen gave Li Mu a lot of things. Although he had not been to a few places, he was familiar with the specialties of Thirty-Six County. The tribute wine from Hanyang County was unparalleled, and the tribute wine from Jiangyin County was unparalleled.
The tribute pears have thin skin and are juicy, the tea from Nanjun is sweet and clear, and the silk from Dongjun is sold well in many countries...
Ever since that incident, in order to make up for the harm she had done to herself, the Queen has been giving gifts to her every three days. Although the place in her house is large, there is still not enough room for it. Last time she said she would reward Li Mu with a bigger house.
The house was rejected by him.
The Queen was already nicer to him. The fifth-level house was only qualified for at least fourth-level officials to live in. If it were to be a bigger one, there would inevitably be some rumors in the court, saying that Li Mu was attracted by his face.
After marrying the Queen, there were many courtiers in the palace, but she favored only one person...
Of course, after the imperial examination, Li Mu had slapped those people in the face with facts and told them that he was favored by the queen not just because of his face.
Even if the Queen wanted to reward him with a bigger house, it would be in exchange for his status as the top scholar in both civil and military subjects. But he and Xiaobai were already used to living in that house, so there was no need to bother with it anymore.
The wine was sweet and not intoxicating, which was why Li Mu felt free to take it out and let Han Zhe drink it.
Han Zhe drank a few drinks and suddenly thought of something. He looked at Li Mu and said, "By the way, Junior Sister Li returned to the mountain gate two months ago."
Li Mu slowly put down the wine glass he picked up and asked, "Is she still in Baiyun Mountain?"
Han Zhe shook his head and said, "She left and will not come back again."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and asked: "What do you mean?"
Han Zhe looked at him and explained: "She has quit the Fu Lu Sect and will no longer be a disciple of the Fu Lu Sect from now on."
This news caught Li Mu off guard. He stared at Han Zhe and asked, "Why?"
Han Zhe took another sip of wine and said: "I don't know the specific inside story. I just heard from the disciples of the Seventh Peak. The Fu Lu Party has never forced the non-core disciples to stay or leave. I originally wanted to ask
Junior sister Li, why did she leave? But when I knew about this, she had already left the sect..."
