Liu Hanyan seemed to have realized that Li Mu was protecting this place on Weiyang Street, and he had been surprisingly good to him in the past two days.
At noon, she not only cooked by herself, but also cooked the dishes that Li Mu liked to eat.
If she hadn't taken any further action, Li Mu would have had reason to wonder if she had any thoughts about him after seeing his body that day.
After eating and drinking, Liu Hanyan went to work in the shop. Li Mu came to the study, took out the pen and ink talismans, and practiced several talismans he had newly learned.
In addition to Taoism, many Taoist magical powers and talismans are open and transparent. Li Mu is not a disciple of the Fulu sect and cannot learn the unique talismans of the Fulu sect, but he can obtain some basic talismans through other means.
After gathering his second soul, Li Mu asked Lao Wang to search in his library, and actually found a complete collection of basic Taoist talismans.
In addition to the Calming Talisman and the Staying Talisman, Li Mu also found several kinds of talismans that he could draw at this stage in the book.
A ghost-finding talisman has a similar effect to the fairy guide, but its function is not as comprehensive as the fairy guide. It can only find ghosts by sensing Yin Qi. Of course, it is not fully functional and has much fewer restrictions on mana. Li Mu is now
Even the smallest deeds can be easily depicted.
The opposite of the ghost-seeking talisman is the demon-seeking talisman, which has a similar principle.
Those with advanced skills can use these two kinds of talismans to search for monsters and ghosts within a radius of dozens of miles. Li Mu's magic power is limited, and the sensing range of the talismans is only a dozen feet.
In addition, he also learned an evil-warming talisman and a ghost-killing talisman. As for magical powers, with his current Taoism, he has not been able to learn any of them, and has only learned two or three minor auxiliary spells.
In fact, what Li Mu wanted to learn most was the soul-searching talisman, which was the talisman he used to search for past memories. However, this talisman no longer belongs to the lowest level and requires a soul-condensing realm to write.
Fortunately, he got several from Li Qing last time, which was enough for him to use for a while.
Li Mu picked up a piece of talisman, put it on his forehead, and began to copy the following content of Liaozhai. Among them, he had to slightly modify the parts about place names and official names to make them consistent with the geography and customs of the ten continents and three islands.
When returning to the county government office, Li Mu passed by Yunyan Pavilion. He took a look and found that there were more customers in the bookstore than the previous two days.
Yangqiu County is not big, and there are even fewer people who are educated and literate. However, in North County, Yangqiu County is located on a transportation thoroughfare and is a hub connecting various counties. In the past, the flow of people was not small, which can ensure a steady flow of tourists. This
This should also be the reason why Liu Hanyan chose Yangqiu County for his store.
"Liao Zhai" did not disappoint Li Mu. On the one hand, he can get a stable income from now on. On the other hand, Yunyan Pavilion, as a new store, can have a sign to attract customers. Under the competition of many bookstores, it can stand firm.
The heel can be regarded as Li Mu's repayment to Liu Hanyan.
A teahouse not far from Yunyan Pavilion.
Seeing the constant flow of customers in Yunyange Bookstore, a young man said: "The shopkeeper, the woman named Liu, is quite capable. She has only been in Yangqiu County for more than a month, and she has already brought the business to such an extent that even our guests...
She robbed a lot of them."
The middle-aged man sitting next to him smiled and said: "She is still too young and does not understand the principles of doing business. She is a newbie and has no background. If she does this, she will anger a lot of people.
"
The young man asked, "Should we give her some color?"
"No need." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "Yesterday, I saw a man named Ren from Sihai Bookstore went to Yunyan Pavilion. It seemed that he wanted to negotiate some terms with Shopkeeper Liu. In the end, it seemed that the agreement was not reached. The man named Ren was very nice.
He is not a good person. If his guests were robbed, he would definitely not let it go like this."
The young man hesitated: "But if we don't take action now, then all the benefits will be taken by Sihai Bookstore..."
"Why are you so anxious?" the middle-aged man said: "Let's take a look first. If a woman dares to wander outside, who knows if there is any background behind her. Let Sihai Bookstore test the water first..."
The young man thought for a moment, then bowed his hand to the middle-aged man with admiration, "The shopkeeper is still thoughtful..."
…
While having dinner with Wanwan, Li Mu suddenly thought that he hadn't seen Liu Hanyan for two or three days.
Yunyan Pavilion has four stores in Yangqiu County, among which the business of the bookstore is the best. After Li Mu left, the business of the teahouse decreased. Liu Hanyan discussed with Li Mu and asked him to go to the teahouse every seven days as a storyteller.
Once, Li Mu agreed without hesitation.
He has a lot of stories, so I don’t have to worry about telling them all. The frequency of telling them once every seven days is not too many. There is no harm in collecting more of the seven emotions.
A Liaozhai has allowed the bookstore to gain a firm foothold in Yangqiu County. As for the music studio and theater, they have just started. The music and drama of "The Butterfly" are being arranged. Liu Hanyan has been busy with these for the past two days.
They all rest in the shop.
After Wanwan finished eating, she looked at Li Mu pitifully and asked, "Can you cook an extra bowl of noodles? I'll deliver it to the lady later..."
Li Mu nodded and said, "I'm going to the county government office in a while, so I'll drop it off for her on the way."
He looked at Wanwan and asked, "How old is your lady this year?"
The girl thought for a while and said, "Twenty-one."
Liu Hanyan was just three years older than Li Mu. Women in Dazhou did not get married that early, but they usually considered getting married when they were eighteen or nineteen. It was not common for them to be unmarried at the age of twenty-one.
Li Mu asked gossipingly: "Don't she want to get married?"
Wanwan wondered: "Why do you want to get married?"
Li Mudao: "When you get married, you have someone to rely on..."
Wanwan said: "The young lady said that she does not rely on men, but only on herself. Men are unreliable."
After thinking about it, she realized something again, and immediately looked at Li Mu and said, "I'm not talking about the young master, the young master is not a thing..."
Li Mu probably knew why Liu Hanyan developed such a character. The betrayal of her parents had caused great harm to her soul, so that after she became an adult, she would not easily trust anyone.
Of course, another important reason is that she is a rich woman. There are not many things in this world that cannot be bought with money, and she does not have to rely on others. It is almost enough for others to rely on her.
When Li Mu delivered the meal to Yunyan Pavilion, Liu Hanyan was arranging music in the music studio.
Li Mu didn't understand the music and could only hum it from memory. Liu Hanyan needed to re-create it while retaining the main structure of "Butterfly Lovers", which was not an easy task.
Seeing that she looked a little haggard, Li Mu put the food box on the table and said, "Have a rest after eating. If you continue like this, the beauty charm will have no effect."
Liu Hanyan nodded, but his eyes did not leave the music score.
Li Mu waved his hand: "Remember to eat, I'm going on patrol..."
After a while, Liu Hanyan put down the score, leaned on the chair, stretched, and suddenly heard a sound in his stomach.
Only then did she remember that she had been changing the music of "Butterfly" from early morning until now, and she hadn't eaten anything yet.
She opened the food box on the table. The bowl of Yangchun noodles in the food box was still steaming, and a poached egg lay in the bowl, exuding an alluring aroma.
Liu Hanyan's appetite was whetted, so he picked up his chopsticks and quickly finished the bowl of noodles, even the soup. It had to be said that Wanwan liked to eat the noodles he cooked, and it was not without reason.
After eating, she rubbed her sore eyebrows and remembered Li Mu's advice. She wanted to take a rest, but she thought that as long as she slept in the past two days, she would have horrible nightmares. After hesitating for a moment, she picked up the music score again.
…
…
It was a quiet night, and Li Mu sat cross-legged on the bed, guiding his practice as usual.
At a certain moment, his closed eyes suddenly opened.
Just now, Li Mu suddenly felt a sense of alertness in his heart. This alertness was very subtle. If he hadn't been focused on cultivating at this moment, he might not have noticed it at ordinary times.
When a practitioner refines the first corpse dog, he will be able to develop spiritual awareness beyond the five senses and be keenly aware of the coming danger.
This alert was so subtle, indicating that the danger was not directed at Li Mu, or that the thing that triggered this alert was too weak to pose much of a threat to him.
Perhaps he was too sensitive, so Li Mu closed his eyes again, but not long after, he opened them again, stood up suddenly, and looked in a certain direction to his side.
Just now, he felt alert again, and the source of this feeling was Liu Hanyan and Wanwan's house!
At the same time, the ghost-seeking talisman he placed on the table also emitted faint mana fluctuations...
