Those who steal people's souls are evil cultivators, and everyone in the spiritual world will punish them. Even the evil cultivators with the sixth level of cave mystic cultivation can't escape death, let alone a little spy like him?
Li Mu looked at Lao Wang and said helplessly: "Can't you find some shortcuts beyond the laws of Dazhou?"
Lao Wang scratched his head with sparse hair and said: "Let me guess, are you refining Fu Ya, swallowing thieves, or when you are removing filth, you find that it is not as easy as refining corpse dogs and sparrow yin?"
Li Mu was surprised and said: "How do you know!"
Lao Wang didn't know that he had lost all his seven souls, and what he wanted to do now was to condense the soul instead of refining it, but what he guessed was almost the same dilemma Li Mu was facing now.
Lao Wang laughed and said: "I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running away. Although I have never practiced Buddhism, but none of you who practice Taoism have come here like this. Over the years, practitioners in the Yamen have come and gone.
I've seen it a lot, and if I want to say that there are really shortcuts outside the law for refining these three evil souls..."
Li Mu quickly asked: "What shortcut?"
Although Lao Wang has never practiced cultivation, he has lived long enough and has seen enough. When it comes to matters related to cultivation, I am afraid he knows more about it than Li Qing.
"You can't take away the soul of a person, how can you not take the soul of a demon?" Lao Wang gave him a look and said: "Do you think that the worldly disciples of the Taoist sects are really just doing nothing to kill demons everywhere?"
Why, after killing those monsters, extracting the souls and refining them, wouldn't it be much faster than practicing honestly on your own?"
Although what Lao Wang said was a way to speed up his practice, in Li Mu's opinion, there was not much difference between seizing the soul of a demon and seizing the soul of a human being.
Li Mu shook his head and said: "There are good people and bad people, and there are good and evil demons. What's the difference between people who kill demons to gain souls for their own cultivation, and demons who kill people to gain souls in order to increase their spiritual practice?"
"I didn't ask you to kill the good demons..." Lao Wang glanced at him and said, "You can kill the evil demons who have done many evil things and take their souls, which can not only eliminate harm to the people, but also help you practice.
, why not?”
Li Mu smiled and shook his head slightly.
Lao Wang was surprised and said: "You don't want to take shortcuts?"
Li Qing's warning appeared in Li Mu's mind, and he said: "Human desires are endless. There are no evil cultivators in this world. There are just practitioners who want to take shortcuts. Perhaps their original intention was to kill evil cultivators."
Monsters, while eliminating harm for the people, help themselves to practice. However, after getting used to this shortcut, they can no longer tolerate the ordinary speed of practice, and gradually reach out to monsters that have never harmed people, or even people.
This is a road of no return..."
"You are still as stubborn as before." Lao Wang shook his head and sighed: "The way of cultivation is to go against heaven. Since you have embarked on this path, you must adapt to the conditions on this path.
rule……"
Li Mu asked: "What are the rules of this road?"
Lao Wang grinned: "Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, the weak eat the strong, that's all..."
…
Lao Wang's words are actually not wrong. He has been in the county government for decades and has seen too many people and too many things. Naturally, his knowledge is not comparable to that of Li Mun.
Li Mu just remembered Li Qing's warning to him. If you just look for shortcuts in your spiritual practice, you will only end up harming others and yourself.
He walked out of the duty room and saw Li Qing holding a sword in both hands and leaning against a pillar in the corridor.
Li Mu was stunned for a moment, "Boss..."
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I was originally worried that being exposed to shortcuts in practice too early might lead you astray. Now it seems that my worries are unnecessary."
She looked at Li Mu and said, "Come with me."
Li Mu followed her into the check-in room. Li Qing turned around and said, "Give me your hand."
Li Mu hesitated for a moment and slowly stretched out his hand.
Li Qing suddenly held his hand, and while Li Mu was confused, he felt a pure power pouring into his body from the palm of her hand.
After that power entered Li Mu's body, the anger in his body that was originally as hard to refine as solid ice melted away in the next moment, completely disappearing into his body. This meant that the anger accumulated in his body
The anger has been completely refined.
Li Qing said softly: "On the way back to the sect last time, I killed a centipede spirit that was harming the people and extracted its courage. The spirit is born from the emotion, and the emotion is blended with the spirit. Many Taoist practitioners will use this method.
The method is to refine the three evil souls that are difficult to refine: Fu Ya, Swallowing Thieves, and Eliminating Evil. However, those who are not determined will most likely go astray from now on, so I didn’t tell you these..."
She looked at Li Mu and said: "There is nothing wrong with killing demons. As long as you stick to your true intentions and take some shortcuts in practice, it is not a bad thing."
Only then did Li Mu understand Li Qing's good intentions. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, boss. I will always remember what you said last time."
It was a pity that the body of the lizard spirit was chopped into charcoal by a thunderbolt from Li Mu, and the seven souls also dissipated in that moment.
"Li Mu..."
Zhang Shan walked in from the door and saw Li Mu and Li Qing holding hands together. After being stunned for a moment, he continued without changing his expression: "Li Mu, help me blow my eyes. It seems like there is sand in my eyes."
,I can’t see anything now…”
There was a rare silence in the duty room, and you could hear a needle drop. It was only after Li Qing left that Zhang Shan quickly walked over and asked in shock: "Li Mu, what were you doing with the boss just now?"
"Practice." Li Mu had already thought of his words, "Boss is helping me practice. Otherwise, you will have to collect my body in half a year."
Zhang Shan was overjoyed when he heard this and asked: "Are you saved?"
Li Mudao: "There is hope."
"Great!" Zhang Shan rubbed his hands and said, "How about we bet twice to celebrate?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Go and play with Lao Wang, I have something else to do..."
Zhang Shan scratched his head and said puzzledly: "A few days ago, I liked gambling more than I did. Why has it changed now? Men are indeed fickle..."
Li Mu didn't want to bet with him, and Zhang Shan didn't go to Lao Wang. After all, he gambled to win, not to lose.
Li Mu walked out of the check-in room and came to Lao Wang again.
Lao Wang was reading a book. He glanced up at him and asked, "What, I figured it out. Do you want me to help you check to see if there are any monsters causing trouble recently?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "No, I want to ask you about someone."
He remembered that when he and Su He were separated last time, Su He asked him to help check a person. Li Mu originally wanted Lao Wang to help check in the household, but on second thought, Su He said that the man named Cui Ming,
Twenty years ago, he served as the magistrate of Yangqiu County. Lao Wang had been in the county government for more than twenty years, so he should have some impressions of that magistrate.
Lao Wang asked calmly: "Who is it?"
Li Mudao: "Cui Ming, was the magistrate of Yangqiu County twenty years ago."
"Twenty years ago, that was a long, long time ago. Let me think about it..." Lao Wang half-squinted his eyes, seeming to be thinking. For a long time, just when Li Mu thought he had fallen asleep, Lao Wang
Wang suddenly opened his eyes and said: "I remembered that there was Cui Ming, but he only served as county magistrate in Yangqiu County for half a year and then was transferred and left..."
Li Mu asked: "Where did you transfer to?"
Lao Wang narrowed his eyes again and said uncertainly: "Jiujiang County, Yushan County, or Yuntai County, I can't remember clearly. Anyway, he was promoted. I remember he seemed to have married the daughter of a county guard..."
Li Mu didn't know what the relationship was between Su He and Cui Ming, but he was originally asking for information for her. Once he found out, his mission was completed.
I said hello to Lao Wang, and when I was about to leave, I was stopped by Lao Wang again.
Lao Wang scratched his head and said: "Two more common people's chickens were bitten to death by something in Zhangjiacun, and their blood was sucked dry. It must be a monster. Han Zhe asked for leave, and only Miss Qing was available in the county government.
, why don't you go find out what's going on..."
There are shortcuts for human cultivation, and there are also shortcuts for monsters.
They can absorb the essence and blood of living creatures and refine the blood to increase their spiritual practice. However, monsters who know how to practice blood-sucking are at least in the realm of body-shaping. Their spiritual intelligence is almost the same as that of ordinary humans. Knowing how to practice sucking human blood is a big step.
Taboo, although the Taoism increases faster, it also dies faster. The Great Zhou Dynasty always tried to kill such monsters.
If you don't dare to suck the blood of living people, you can only suck some poultry and livestock. In this way, even if the people report the case, the Yamen will not take it too seriously.
Li Mu left the yamen and found Li Qing on the street. After explaining the case clearly, the two left the county town and headed for Zhangjia Village.
