Li Mu looked at the talisman on the table, thoughtfully.
The Tao of Fu Lu in this era originated from ancient times and was passed down from the Taoist pages of the Fu Lu Sect. Most of the descendants just inherited and used it. Only the geniuses of Fu Lu from the Fu Lu Sect had the ability to innovate and create their own Fu Lu.
If this heaven-level talisman was really created by Zhou Zhong, then his talent in the talisman is not inferior to that of Fu Daozi, and he is even at the top of the peaks of the talisman sect.
Such a person would not be unknown in the world of spiritual practice. However, Zhou Zhong's name is well known to everyone only because he is a minion of the old party and a lackey of the Xiao royal family, not because of his talent in Talismans.
At a certain moment, gentle footsteps were heard outside the Shilang Yamen.
Zhou Zhong walked into the Shilang Yamen, looked at Li Mu, and asked, "When did Mr. Li return to the capital of the gods?"
Li Mudao: "I just came back not long ago."
Zhou Zhong walked to the desk and sat down, and asked: "Master Li always comes to visit you for no reason. What's the important thing for you to come this time?"
Li Mu asked: "Did Zhou Shilang know about the assassination of Anyi County Magistrate and Tianhe County Prime Minister?"
Zhou Zhong thought for a while, nodded and said: "I remember that there seem to be two cases like this."
Li Mu continued to ask: "When two imperial officials were assassinated, why did the Ministry of Punishment repeatedly fail to investigate the case? If not for the two counties of Danyang and Hanyang, which submitted several reports to no avail, this time they directly bypassed the Ministry of Punishment and handed the documents to Zhongshu Province.
, I don’t know how long these two cases will be delayed.”
Zhou Zhong took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner and explained: "Master Li knows that in the past few months, because of the incident involving the academy students and Cui Ming's case, the Ministry of Punishment was busy with official duties and could not take care of the Shendu case.
, not to mention the distant counties of Danyang and Hanyang? Then it was delayed for a long time because of the imperial examination? So that I forgot these two cases? It was not until Mr. Li mentioned it today that I remembered that I would send someone to this case immediately.
Checked..."
Li Mu's duty is only to urge and remind the Ministry of Punishment? Since Zhou Zhong has agreed, he has nothing to say.
There are three provinces and six ministries, and the division of labor is very clear. Zhongshu Province is responsible for formulating policies, but the specific implementation is decided by the six ministries of Shangshu themselves.
Li Mu walked out of the waiter's office and saw a figure standing outside the duty room opposite.
Wei Peng used to be the most typical playboy in the capital of God? But today, he makes Li Mu look at him with admiration.
The two looked at each other and said nothing. Although they were enemies in the past, their past grudges have long since disappeared over time.
In the servant's office, Zhou Zhong looked at the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment and said: "I will leave the cases in Danyang County and Hanyang County to you."
The doctor from the Criminal Department bowed and said, "Yes."
The expression on his face was submissive, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
In these two cases, it was Zhou Shilang who was not allowed to take charge of him at first, but it is still Zhou Shilang who is asked to take charge of them now. When the case first occurred, it was obviously the time when there were the most clues and the easiest time to investigate. Now that half a year has passed, those two
There is grass growing on a person's grave, how should he go about checking it?
Isn't it obvious that he is throwing the blame for his own negligence and forgetfulness on himself...
Complaints are complaints, and the work that should be done must still be done. He is just a little doctor. When the time is right, taking the initiative to take the blame for the superior officer's mistakes is the self-cultivation of a lower official.
The doctor of the Ministry of Justice walked out of the Shilang Yamen and saw a figure standing at the gate of the duty room opposite. Suddenly, he had an idea and said: "Mr. Wei, come here..."
Wei Peng came over and asked, "What are your orders, Master Yang?"
The doctor from the Ministry of Justice patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't you like to handle cases? I have two important cases for you to handle. You are given three months to find out who the Anyi County magistrate and Tianhe are.
If the case of the assassination of the county magistrate cannot be found out, you will be deducted two months of salary..."
Waiter's office.
Zhou Zhong picked up the pen and wrote a few runes on the paper. The runes were crooked and could not form a talisman at all.
This is the result of not being able to meditate while writing talismans.
Snapped!
He slapped the brush on the desk and held the paper in his hand, with veins popping out on the back of his hand.
…
After leaving the Criminal Department, Li Mu returned to Li Mansion.
The cracks on Dao Zhong's body have barely been repaired, and he is still searching for new spells that have never appeared in this world to help it become complete as soon as possible.
Only a complete Dao Zhong can exert its absolute defense.
Even a tiny crack is a huge flaw in the eyes of high-level practitioners.
Only now did Li Mu realize that it was not that simple for those old foxes to let him take away the Dao Zhong so easily. The incomplete Dao Zhong was not of much use to the Fu Lu Sect, and if it could be repaired slowly by itself
, I’m afraid I have to wait at least ten or even decades. Li Mu thought he had taken advantage, but in fact he had lost again...
Unless he can keep Dao Zhong by his side forever.
Inside the Li Mansion, it sometimes rained, sometimes snowed, and sometimes thundered, but due to the obstruction of the formation, the fluctuations of spiritual energy and mana did not spread outside the house.
Dao Zhong was so excited that he became almost ten feet tall, completely covering Li Mu. The golden light spots at the cracks repaired the cracks on the clock bit by bit.
After a while, Li Mu withdrew his spell, and the Dao Zhong transformed into the size of a palm again, floating on his shoulder.
The Queen walked out of the void, looked at the Dao Zhong happily rotating around Li Mu, and asked: "Can I take a look at it?"
Except for Li Mu, Dao Zhong was quite resistant to everyone else. The bell swayed left and right and buzzed a few times to express resistance and unwillingness.
Li Mu slapped it on the top of its head and said, "Go quickly!"
The bell buzzed a few more times before reluctantly flying towards the Queen.
Zhou Wu stretched out her hand, and the Dao Zhong floated under her hand without falling.
Zhou Wu looked at it for a while, then withdrew her hand, and the bell flew back to Li Mu. She glanced at the bell and said, "This bell should be a treasure from ancient times. No wonder it has such power."
Ancient times generally refers to the era thousands of years ago.
The past one thousand years should be a thousand years of rapid development of the path of spiritual practice. A thousand years ago, the path of spiritual practice went through a barbaric period that lasted for thousands of years, and developed very slowly. It was not until the past one thousand years that it reached its peak.
A peak.
However, countless practitioners have discovered through research that in the ancient times 10,000 years ago, there was another peak in the way of practice.
That was a golden age of spiritual practice that was even more prosperous than today's spiritual practice.
There is enough evidence to show that whether it is Taoist scriptures, Taoist bells, or the important treasures of several other sects, they are all products of the previous era. The magical methods of that era were more powerful, such as talismans, elixirs, formations, and refining methods.
Weapons and martial arts have also become more mature. Today's practitioners have only learned a superficial knowledge and are able to establish sects. That is an era that today's practitioners most admire and yearn for.
Li Mu looked at the Dao Bell in front of him. In this era, it could become the treasure of the Fulu Sect, but in ancient times, it might just be an ordinary magic weapon.
Li Mu sighed with emotion, and the door of Li Mansion was suddenly pushed open.
A figure walked in from outside.
Liu Hanyan looked around and asked, "Is this our new home?"
Wanwan rushed over from the corner, hugged her arm, and said happily: "Miss..."
Li Mu's figure flashed and came to Liu Hanyan, and asked in surprise: "Why did you come to God City? Are you going back to Baiyun Mountain?"
Liu Hanyan smiled sweetly at him and said, "I won't go back..."
Then she saw another figure standing in the yard and asked: "She is..."
Li Mudao: "This is Her Majesty the Queen."
Then, she introduced the queen: "Your Majesty, this is my fiancée..."
Liu Hanyan has lived in the divine capital since she was a child. She understands the meaning of the word queen better than Xiaobai. She quickly bowed and saluted: "The daughter of the people has met your majesty..."
The Queen looked at them and said: "There are still some memorials to be dealt with in the palace, so I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, her figure gradually disappeared in front of the two people.
Liu Hanyan had long heard Xiaobai talk about "Sister Zhou" and asked Li Mudao: "Does Your Majesty come to our house often recently?"
Li Mu nodded and said: "It's quite common. She treats Xiaobai as a younger sister and often comes to visit her at home..."
Liu Hanyan just asked and stopped worrying about the queen.
After two years, I returned to the capital of God. It seemed that nothing had changed, but in fact everything had changed.
Li Mu took her around the house, and Liu Hanyan said: "Such a big house has room for more than a dozen people, but it's just the four of us. Isn't it too wasteful?"
Li Mudao: "Now there are four people, but in the future there may be five, six, seven or eight. Then it won't be wasted..."
Liu Hanyan raised his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Mudao: "What I mean is, should we hire a few maids and servants at home? The house should be bigger. If relatives and friends come later, we should have rooms to entertain them..."
Liu Hanyan nodded and said: "That's true, but I still don't want the maid to be a servant. I don't like having outsiders at home. We can just live by ourselves..."
Li Mu held her hand and said, "It's all up to you."
Liu Hanyan put her arm around him and said, "First accompany me to Miaoyinfang. I'm going to meet Xiaoqi and the others..."
Changle Palace.
Lord Mei and Shangguan Li were sorting the documents submitted by each department into categories. The space in the hall fluctuated and the Queen's figure appeared out of thin air.
She looked at the two of them and said, "You guys go down first."
Lord Mei and Shangguan Li walked out of the hall and asked in confusion: "Why did your Majesty come back so early today?"
Shangguan Li shook his head and said, "I don't know..."
Lord Mei thought for a while and said: "You stay in the palace, I will go to Li Mansion to have a look..."
In Changle Palace, Zhou Wu calmly opened a memorial, but her eyes were slightly distracted.
For some reason, there was an inexplicable disturbance in her calm heart.
This was a sign of inner demons at work. This time, she couldn't erase this trace of trouble with her magic power.
It wasn't until she silently recited the Qingxin Jue that her mind calmed down again.
There was a troubled look on her face and she murmured: "What's wrong with me?"
