It's not a problem to be naked all the time. Wan Wan and Liu Hanyan still wore bellybands after all. Li Mu didn't have the habit of wearing clothes when sleeping at night. He comforted Wan Wan, collected the talisman, and drove the female ghost to his yard.
, then he took her in with the soul-nurturing bag he picked up from the lizard spirit last time, got dressed, and went to the next door again.
The two women had already put on their clothes. Liu Hanyan's face was still a little pale, and Wanwan's face was still wet with tears. She shivered in the corner of the bed, obviously frightened by the female ghost.
Liu Hanyan looked at Li Mu and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just thought..."
"It doesn't matter." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I just sensed that there was Yin Qi here, and I was worried that you might be in danger. I came out in such a hurry that I might have scared you..."
Liu Hanyan looked around timidly and asked, "So, where is the female ghost?"
Li Mudao: "I have taken him into custody and will take him to the county government office for further interrogation tomorrow."
He looked at Liu Hanyan again and said, "The female ghost said that he was instigated by others. Do you have anyone to suspect?"
Liu Hanyan shook his head and said: "Yunyan Pavilion's business is getting better and better, and it affects the interests of too many people. I don't know who it is."
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I will report this matter to the Ming County Magistrate tomorrow. Don't worry, no matter who is behind the scenes, we will catch him and deal with him impartially."
The female ghost had been subdued. It was already late at night. It was not appropriate for Li Mu to stay here any longer. He said, "It's very late. You should rest first. I will handle this matter tomorrow."
Li Mu turned around and was about to leave, but Liu Hanyan grabbed his hand and said in panic: "Don't leave!"
At this moment, she only has the weakness of a woman, and no longer has the aura of a female shopkeeper.
Wanwan ran over quickly, hugged Li Mu's arm, and said in a crying voice, "Master, I'm afraid..."
It's not a big deal for a man and a woman to live together in the same room in the middle of the night. Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll post a few exorcism charms outside so that even if there are any other ghosts, they won't be able to come in."
Liu Hanyan said in a trembling voice: "Are there any ghosts coming?"
Li Mu was not sure, so he could only comfort her and said: "Probably..., it won't happen."
Liu Hanyan winked at Wanwan, and the little maid held Li Mu's arm, shook it, and begged: "Master, I'm afraid, please don't leave, okay..."
If it were just Liu Hanyan, Li Mu could barely hold on.
But Wanwan spent time with him day and night, and even ate at the same table. When Li Mu was injured, she was serving tea and pouring water, and slapping her back and shoulders. Looking at her pale face, Li Mu didn't understand at all.
I can't say no.
Li Mu hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Then you can sleep, I'll keep watch outside."
Anyway, he planned to practice at night. The courtyard was open and the effect of practice would be better.
"How is this possible? Wanwan, go get a bedding over here." Liu Hanyan shook his head, looked at Li Mu and said, "I'm going to trouble you to sleep on the ground tonight."
"No need." Li Mu shook his head and said, "I'll be fine outside."
Watching Li Mu walk out, Liu Hanyan sat on the bedside, his eyes wandering, wondering what he was thinking.
Wanwan hugged the quilt and soon fell asleep again, with a sweet smile on her face.
Liu Hanyan touched her head and looked outside the door. Although he couldn't see Li Mu, he still felt indescribably peaceful.
It seemed that as long as he was outside, even if there were any scary evil spirits, they wouldn't be that scary anymore.
…
After rejecting Liu Hanyan's proposal, Li Mu walked outside, closed the door, and sat at the stone table in the yard.
The moon was very round tonight, and the moonlight was bright and bright. Li Mu did not practice immediately, but looked at the moon in trance.
He has been here for nearly two months. Because the non-poison soul has not yet condensed, it is difficult for him to fall asleep at night. He can only pass the time through guided practice. The long nights are long, and he often thinks of things from his previous life. Although
Today's body no longer suffers from pain, but there are still many things in that world that are worthy of his attachment.
Liu Hanyan walked over slowly, put a shawl on Li Mu's shoulders, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Li Mu looked away from the moon and said: "Think about the past, family, friends..."
Liu Hanyan sat next to him, arms around his knees, looking at the moon above his head, and said: "I have forgotten what my family looks like..."
Li Mu still clearly remembered the appearance of his parents. After having the soul search talisman, his memories became clearer. He looked at Liu Hanyan and said: "I have a talisman that can allow you to retrieve your previous memories...
…”
"No need." Liu Hanyan shook his head and said, "It took a lot of effort to get here, but I don't want to recall the past. How could there be such a strange talisman in this world..."
Li Mu did not continue this topic and asked: "Why don't you go to bed?"
Liu Hanyan said: "Can't sleep."
Li Mu asked: "Are you scared by that female ghost?"
Liu Hanyan looked at him and said in surprise: "Aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
"I was afraid before." Li Mushe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I've seen more of them and I'm not afraid anymore. The ghosts are nothing more than those tricks. Your methods are more powerful than theirs, so it's them that you should be afraid of."
Liu Hanyan sighed and said: "You are obviously not very old, but you have experienced so much. It is not easy to be a catcher, right?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Nothing in this world is easy. For me, catching ghosts is easy, but running a store is difficult. If I were you, I would never be where you are today...
"
As Li Mu was talking, there was suddenly no response from his side. Just as he was about to turn his head, he felt his shoulders sink. Liu Hanyan was leaning on her shoulders and had fallen asleep.
She had been haunted by the grudge these past few days, and was frightened again tonight. It was time for her to have a good rest. Li Mu picked her up, returned to the room, put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and exited.
, close the door.
When Liu Hanyan and Wanwan got up, they opened the door and saw that Li Mu was not outside the door, and felt panicked for no reason.
At this moment, a figure flew over the courtyard wall and landed in the courtyard.
Wanwan's eyes widened and she said in shock: "Young Master can fly!"
"You guys are awake." Li Mu looked at them and said, "I've made breakfast, come over and eat."
Breakfast was very simple. Li Mu just cooked some porridge and two side dishes to go with the porridge. He drank three bowls of porridge in the evening, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, looked at Li Mu pitifully, and said: "Master, you
Can you teach me how to catch ghosts?"
Li Mu looked at her and asked with a smile: "Why, aren't you afraid of ghosts?"
"Afraid..." Wanwan retracted her head, and after a moment, she mustered up the courage to say, "But, I want to protect the young lady."
Liu Hanyan looked at her lovingly, then looked at Li Mu and asked, "Can we practice?"
Li Mu nodded and said: "Everyone can practice, but everyone has different qualifications, different cultivation talents, and different difficulty of cultivation. However, as long as you are willing to work hard and learn Taoism for two or three years, your talent will be the best."
Worse, it’s more than enough to deal with ghosts like last night…”
Liu Hanyan hesitated for a moment, then finally plucked up the courage and asked Li Mudao: "Can you teach me how to practice?"
After saying that, she quickly said: "I know this request may be a bit excessive, but if your sect doesn't allow it, forget it..."
"What's wrong with this?" Li Mu shook his head and said, "I don't have any sect. I practice by myself. If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Liu Hanyan looked delighted: "I think so!"
Li Mu put down his chopsticks and said, "When I come back in the evening, I have to go to the Yamen first to deal with the female ghost's matter."
Liu Hanyan nodded: "I'll wait for you!"
Yangqiu County Government.
Magistrate Zhang sat in the front hall and said: "Yunyan Pavilion, I have some impressions. It is a new shop opened in this county more than a month ago. I heard that their business is very good. By the end of the year, it will definitely be a big tax-paying shop. You
What happened to Yunyan Pavilion?"
Li Mudao: "The shopkeeper of Yunyan Pavilion, encountered something today..."
Some people use ghosts to harm people, but it is much worse than robbery and theft. After hearing Li Mu's report, County Magistrate Zhang slammed the table and said angrily: "This is unreasonable. In our Yangqiu County, someone can be so bold and reckless."
Disciple!"
"Li Mu!"
"My subordinate is here!"
Magistrate Zhang said in a deep voice: "This is a case that occurred in your jurisdiction. I order you to personally protect the shopkeeper of Yunyan Pavilion. You must protect her thoroughly. If anything goes wrong, I will only ask you!"
