In the early morning, when the morning bell of Jinshan Temple rang, Li Mu got up from the bed in a Zen room.
After hearing that a strange phenomenon occurred in the Buddhist hall of Jinshan Temple last night, he was so frightened that he did not practice cultivation all night, but he had a good sleep.
Half a month ago, Li Mu suddenly had the idea of using many Taoist classics from his previous life to replace the mantra, trying to use Taoist magic to trace the matter of Zhao Yong's soul departure. When he met Lin Wan, he used the "Heart Sutra" instead of the Buddhist Dharma Sutra for the first time, which led to the introduction of Pudu.
Buddha's light.
Whether it is those Taoist classics or the "Heart Sutra", it is the first time that they have appeared in this world. Li Mu also learned yesterday that these Taoist scriptures that can activate the power of heaven and earth will be used by certain people when they first appear.
The presence or perception of special items produces some special movements.
Li Mu still remembered Su He's advice firmly in his heart.
The common man is not guilty, the jade is guilty, Taoism and Dharma scriptures are coveted even by the powerful in the third realm. Li Mu has these secrets, and the fewer people know about them, the better, so even for Li Qing, who he trusts the most, he
Not going to tell.
There was a knock on the door. Li Mu walked over, opened the door, and saw a little bald man.
The young novice brought the things for washing, carried them into the room, and said, "After washing, the young benefactor can come to the dining hall to the west for breakfast."
"Thank you."
Li Mu said politely, but he always felt that this little novice monk was a little strange. When he left, he secretly observed it with his clairvoyance, and couldn't help but froze on the spot.
This little monk is actually a monster, and his true body is a golden eagle.
The strange thing is that there is no demonic aura on his body, and there is still Buddha light looming in his body.
This surprised Li Mu. Jinshan Temple is really an evil place. This monster incarnates is obviously a Buddhist practitioner. Not only that, when he and Li Qing came to the dining hall, Li Mu was surprised to find that there were more than just monsters in the temple.
That little novice monk.
In addition to monsters, there are even ghosts without any ghostly aura about them, who are very busy chopping wood and fetching water in the backyard.
Intuition told Li Mu that these demons and ghosts must be related to Xuandu. That monk liked to reason with demons and demons the most. If he couldn't reason with them, he would do it. Then those demons and ghosts who didn't want to be saved by him would cry and beg him to save him...
Xuandu was not here. Li Mu and Li Qing found a corner to sit down, and a young novice brought them food.
The breakfast at Jinshan Temple is very simple, only steamed buns, vegetables, and a bowl of tofu soup.
Li Qing ate very slowly, and Li Mu was hungry all night. He finished his breakfast in threes and fives and divided it by two. While waiting for her, he listened to the chat of the monk next to him.
"Last night, the Buddha statue in the Buddhist temple shone again. Master said that this kind of vision only happens once in a hundred years..."
"I heard Uncle Xuandu say that only when someone has understood the new Dharma sutra can the golden body in the Buddhist temple resonate. He also said that last night, a senior with profound Buddhist teachings passed by Jinshan Temple. Maybe it was because of that senior
…”
"Uncle Xuandu went out again last night. When he came back, he killed a tiger monster that had done many evil things. When will we be as powerful as Uncle Xuandu and eliminate harm for the people like him...
…”
"Speaking of the tiger demon, let's eat quickly. After breakfast, we have to go down the mountain and give the tiger skin to the tailor. Uncle Xuandu said that he will use this tiger skin to make a tiger skin mattress for the abbot. Last time, the abbot master
I was encircling and suppressing that evil cultivator, and was injured by that evil person, and I haven't recovered yet..."
…
Seeing that the monk at Jinshan Temple did not doubt him, Li Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he also made up his mind to stay away from temples and Taoist temples when practicing in the future. Who knows whether he would
Something else glows for no reason.
After Li Qing finished eating, the two of them said goodbye to Xuandu.
Li Mu performed a Buddhist salute to Xuandu and said: "I'm staying in your temple at night. There will be a lot of trouble. We have errands to attend to, so we won't disturb Master Xuandu."
Xuandu smiled slightly and said: "The little benefactor has a fate with the Buddha, and the door of Jinshan Temple will always be open to you."
Li Mu immediately said: "If I have six impure roots, I won't cause trouble to Buddhism..."
After leaving Jinshan Temple with Li Qing, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Xuandu looks gentle and gentle, but in fact he likes violence and is unreasonable. If he insists on letting Li Mu stay in Jinshan Temple, Li Qing may not be able to stop him.
Fortunately, he did not use force on Li Mu. Instead, he answered many of Li Mu's doubts through Buddhist practice. Li Mu benefited a lot from this trip out of the city.
Huang Shu and his wife had been waiting outside Jinshan Temple for a long time. Huang Shu carried a bulging bag on his back, filled with medicinal materials.
The two weasels walked upright like humans, walking through the city in a swaggering manner, which was a bit unseemly. Li Qing gave them two invisibility talismans. After the weasels and the couple attached them to their bodies, they disappeared into thin air before Li Mu's eyes.
Li Mu directed his magic power to his eyes, but he still couldn't see them.
It wasn't until he used his clairvoyance that the two demons appeared in his eyes again.
The effect of this magical power is much greater than Li Mu expected. Even with his meager magical power, he can easily use it. Although it cannot be called a Taoist skill, it is still an extremely mysterious magical power.
It's really unexpected that a little resentful spirit knows this kind of magical power.
Li Qingdao: "This is just a simple blindfold. It can deceive the eyes of ordinary people, but it cannot deceive some Taoist practitioners. When you reach the Soul Condensation Realm, you will be able to see through it."
Li Mu has only condensed one of his seven souls now, and he doesn't know when he will be able to condense his soul. After solving the Huangshu case, he still has to go to Yunyan Pavilion to continue playing his role as storyteller.
On the way back to the county town, Li Mu once again cast Buddha's light on the yellow squirrel's wife, relieving her life-threatening danger.
Although Li Mu had already condensed his first soul, Li Mu still channeled the joy generated by the two demons' gratitude to him without waste. After these emotions were refined, his first soul could become even sharper.
Back in the county town, Li Mu had just stepped into the gate of the county government office and met Han Zhe head-on.
Since returning from Bishui Bay last time, Han Zhe took a leave of absence. It is said that he lost too much essence and practiced in seclusion for a period of time.
When he saw Li Qing, Han Zhe had a smile on his face and asked, "When did Miss Qing come back?"
"A few days ago." Li Qing said calmly and walked straight into the county government office.
Han Zhe glanced at Li Mu and saw the Bai Yi sword in his hand. He then looked back at Li Qing's Qinghong sword and asked Li Mu, "Where did your sword come from?"
"A gift from the boss."
Li Mu also replied lightly and followed Li Qing out.
Han Zhe stood at the door with a look of surprise on his face. The two swords were very similar in appearance. Although this didn't mean anything, seeing a little catcher holding a similar sword to his sweetheart made him feel a little bit confused.
uncomfortable.
However, this discomfort only lasted for a moment. He and Li Qing were both disciples of the Fu Lu Sect. Although they did not belong to the same lineage, they were from the same sect. The small Yangqiu County was just a part of their training process. Li Mu was just a
The little policeman is destined not to have much interaction with them.
Han Zhe looked back again, turned around and walked out of the county government office.
County government office, front hall.
Magistrate Zhang sat above, glanced at the two weasels kneeling below, and said: "Two monsters, although you did not harm anyone, you also caused damage to the property of the villagers in Zhangjia Village. I will now fine you double compensation."
Do you have any objection to their losses?"
"Everyone listens to the adults, everyone listens to the adults!"
The two weasels knelt on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and agreed repeatedly.
Li Mu stood aside. Magistrate Zhang did not impose a heavier punishment on the Huangshu couple because they were monsters. This punishment was completely in accordance with the laws of Dazhou. And the medicinal materials collected by the Huangshu were sold casually.
You can buy hundreds or thousands of chickens and ducks. For the yellow squirrel, this kind of punishment is not serious.
If this kind of small property damage case didn't involve two monsters, there would be no need for Magistrate Zhang to intervene. Li Mu could handle it by himself.
Magistrate Zhang picked up his pen and calculated, and said: "Zhangjia Village lost a total of fifteen chickens and two sheep. The market price of each chicken is fifty cents. Double it is one hundred cents. For fifteen chickens, you will be fined one thousand cents."
Five hundred coins, one sheep is worth one thousand coins in the market, double it is two thousand coins, two sheep are four thousand coins, a total of five taels and five cents, what else do you have to say about the handling of this case?"
The yellow mouse was stunned and said: "Sir, those fifteen chickens were done by the little demon, but the little demon has never stolen a sheep..."
Magistrate Zhang looked at it with a frown and asked: "Two sheep in Zhangjia Village had their necks bitten open and their blood sucked to death. Do you dare to say that it was not you?"
"My lord, you are unjust." The yellow mouse fell on the ground with a thud and said, "The little demon never steals sheep. Sheep are too stinky. Their blood makes the little demon feel sick when he smells it..."
Magistrate Zhang stood up suspiciously and asked, "If it's not you, who could it be?"
Li Mu also had a look of confusion on his face. Since the yellow rat had admitted to stealing the chicken, adding the two sheep would only cost him a few more taels of silver. If the blood of the two sheep was really sucked by it,
There is no need for him to deny it.
Could it be that the case in Zhangjiacun involves another monster?
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside. Zhang Shan gasped and ran in quickly and said, "Sir, it's bad, something happened in Zhangjiacun!"
