In Da Zhou, public security and taxation were important criteria for the assessment of local officials. Liu Hanyan was the shopkeeper of Yunyan Pavilion. Yunyan Pavilion had four shops and was a major taxpayer in Yangqiu County. Therefore, Magistrate Zhang paid special attention to this case and ordered
Li Mu protected her closely.
Fortunately, she was his neighbor. After Li Mu went back to the county office to report, he received the order from Magistrate Zhang and returned home.
Liu Hanyan and Wanwan haven't left yet. After what happened yesterday, they didn't dare to go back to their yard. One was washing dishes in the kitchen, and the other was helping Li Mu clean up the room. Liu Hanyan made Li Mu's bed and looked back.
When he walked into the room, he was surprised and asked: "Why are you back so soon?"
Li Mudao: "The county magistrate attaches great importance to this case and asked me to protect you personally. I will always be by your side these two days."
"Great." A smile appeared on Liu Hanyan's face, and he said eagerly: "Then you can teach me how to practice first!"
Li Mu knew two methods of cultivation, one was Taoism and the other was Buddhism. The Taoism method of cultivation was taught to him by Li Qing, and was also recorded in detail in the half of the Taoist book that Su He later gave him.
The method of Buddhist practice originated from the Dharma Sutra given to him by Xuandu. That Dharma Sutra was only an introductory Dharma Sutra and had no follow-up. It was not suitable to teach Liu Hanyan, and he would not be able to teach it to Liu Hanyan without Xuandu's permission.
Feel free to teach others.
There are no secrets in Taoist practice. Some monsters and spirits admire Taoism and will also practice Taoism. There is nothing wrong with Li Qing passing it on to Li Mu, and Li Mu teaching it to Liu Hanyan.
Having made up his mind, Li Mu looked at her and said, "Go to bed."
Liu Hanyan looked at him blankly and asked: "What, what?"
Li Mu added: "Just take off your shoes."
Liu Hanyan was a little hesitant. Although she just took off her shoes, it was not convenient for a woman's feet to be seen by men other than her husband. She looked up at Li Mu and asked, "Is it okay if I don't take off my shoes?"
Li Mu shook his head and said: "To guide practice, you need five hearts to face the sky. The five hearts are the centers of the feet, the palms, and the top of the head. They need to maintain specific postures. When you practice for the first time, your posture must be correct..."
Liu Hanyan thought of the nightmares of the past few days and the terror of the female ghost, and immediately became determined in her spiritual practice. She silently took off her shoes and sat on the bed.
Liu Hanyan's feet were white, slender and well-proportioned, with small and round toes. Li Mu subconsciously took a second look. Liu Hanyan was barefoot in front of a man for the first time. Feeling Li Mu's gaze, her pretty face turned red and she hurriedly used the hem of her skirt.
cover.
Li Mu coughed lightly, looked away, and said: "Put your left foot up to the root of your right thigh, and place your right foot on the root of your left thigh, so that the centers of your feet are facing the sky, and the palms of your hands are facing the sky, and place them on your legs.
Introduce the air into the nose, then slowly into the abdomen, all the way down, when you feel stuffy, then slowly exhale from the mouth..."
Li Mu's path of spiritual practice was introduced by Li Qing. He was already familiar with the process of helping others to get started.
While Liu Hanyan was trying to breathe out, Li Mu stretched out his index finger, gently tapped her forehead, and sent a weak magic power into her body.
He looked at Liu Hanyan and asked, "Did you feel a warm current?"
Liu Hanyan nodded and said in surprise: "It seems like something has entered my body..."
While controlling the magic power to circulate in her body, Li Mu said: "Concentrate, keep your mind close, remember the path of this magic power circulating in your body, and try to guide it with your thoughts..."
In order to help her remember the route of the magic power, Li Mu allowed this trace of magic power to circulate in her body for half a quarter of an hour before slowly retracting the finger that was placed between Liu Hanyan's eyebrows and saying with a pale face: "I left a trace of magic power for you.
In the body, you only need to run it according to the path just now when guiding it. When you have developed your own magic power, I will teach you how to refine your soul..."
This trace of mana will not exist in Liu Hanyan's body for long. If she has average talent or is lazy, when this trace of mana dissipates, she still has not cultivated her own mana. After several times, it is still the same, and she will
It shows that she has no connection with spiritual practice, and Li Mu can't do anything to help her.
Liu Hanyan took out his handkerchief, wiped the sweat from Li Mu's forehead, and said gratefully: "Thank you."
"It's nothing." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "I'll rest for a while and then go help Wanwan."
After teaching Liu Hanyan to guide him, Li Mu came outside and looked at Wanwan sitting on the swing under the tree. Thinking of what happened last night, he asked doubtfully: "Wanwan, how did you see that female ghost last night?"
of?"
The resentful spirit didn't take the initiative to show itself last night. If Li Mu hadn't opened Liu Hanyan's eyes, she wouldn't have been able to see it at all. But Li Mu didn't do anything to Wan Wan, so how did she see it?
Speaking of the female ghost last night, Wan Wan couldn't help but turn pale. She jumped off the swing, grabbed Li Mu's sleeve, shook her head and said, "I, I don't know either..."
Li Mu couldn't figure it out for a moment and planned to ask Lao Wang when he returned to the Yamen.
He stopped thinking about this matter for the time being and said: "Come to the room with me, I will teach you how to practice. When you succeed in practice, you can catch ghosts by yourself in the future..."
Hearing that Li Mu was going to teach her spiritual practice, Wanwan followed him to the room in a hurry. Li Mu walked to the bed and said, "Take off your shoes and get in bed."
Wanwan was not as coy as Liu Hanyan, so she quickly took off her shoes and socks and climbed onto the bed.
Li Mu stood in front of the bed and said, "Put your left foot to the base of your right thigh, and then put your right foot to the base of your left leg."
Wanwan picked up her fat foot and after trying hard for a while, she said distressedly: "I can't break it off..."
The movement of five hearts pointing to the sky requires certain flexibility of the body, and it is not easy for ordinary people to do it. Wanwan's short legs are not as slender as Liu Hanyan's legs. After trying for a long time, she still can't cross her legs.
action.
Her legs were underneath her skirt. Li Mu couldn't help her, so he could only turn around and said, "Try to use force. This is a fixed posture for practice. You must do this..."
Wanwan hugged her little feet, gave them a squeeze, and cried, "It hurts..."
Li Mu comforted him: "Be patient, it won't hurt in a while."
After a while, the little maid said with a cry in her voice: "It still hurts..."
In this short period of time, Liu Hanyan poked his head outside the door three times. Li Mu couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked outside and said, "Come and help her..."
Less than half an hour later, Li Mu walked to the yard, breathed a sigh of relief, and taught them how to practice. Fighting with demons and ghosts was even more tiring, but he finally managed to pass a trace of mana into the bodies of both their master and servant. Next, he relied on
They are on their own.
Teaching Liu Hanyan and Wanwan how to practice was just a piece of cake for Li Mu.
Whether they can succeed depends on their talent and hard work.
Even if they only have a little talent for cultivation, if they practice like this for some time, they will be able to practice a little bit and have more self-protection strength. Li Mu can't be by their side all the time. Two weak women, alone, if they have a little
There are no other means, and it is really too dangerous.
The female ghost that haunted Liu Hanyan was temporarily kept in the soul-rearing bag by Li Mu. It had a single line of contact with the person behind the case. At this time, the other party had no idea that the female ghost had fallen into Li Mu's hands.
After lunch, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the people behind the scenes, Li Mu first asked Liu Hanyan to go to the shop, and then he left home.
Although Magistrate Zhang asked him to protect Liu Hanyan personally, it would be a warning, so Li Mu still kept a certain distance from her.
He was walking on the street. Zhang Shan and Li Si were eating noodles on the street. They caught a glimpse of Li Mu from a distance. Zhang Shan waved to Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, here!"
Li Mu walked over and Zhang Shan waved to the stall owner and said, "Boss, another bowl of noodles."
Li Mu waved his hand: "No, I've eaten at home."
Liu Hanyan was in the kitchen today at noon, and only the dishes were washed by Li Mu.
Zhang Shan asked strangely: "What's going on? You haven't had dinner with us for a long time. Are you someone at home or something..."
Li Mu sat down next to him and said: "Stop talking nonsense, come with me after dinner, there is a case that requires you..."
