Li Mu put the girl on the bed and said, "I almost killed her because I didn't investigate clearly beforehand."
Su He came over, glanced at the girl, and said, "She was seriously injured."
Li Mu held the girl's hand, recited the "Heart Sutra" silently, and transferred the Buddha's light into her body. The Buddha's light triggered by the "Heart Sutra" was different from other Dharma sutras and had a certain miraculous effect on healing.
A steady stream of Buddha's light poured into her body, and the girl's tight brows gradually relaxed. After her eyelashes trembled, her eyes slowly opened.
When she opened her eyes and saw Li Mu, she was startled. She curled up and retreated to the corner. She protected her chest with her hands and looked at him in horror, "What are you going to do!"
Li Mu stepped back and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not Xu Xian and I'm not interested in snakes."
The girl still did not let down her guard, gritting her teeth and said: "You humans are all liars!"
Li Mu sighed, it was indeed him who had embarrassed mankind this time.
In the case of the man in black robe, it was because he was too cautious and worried about accidentally killing his life that he almost got invaded by inner demons and fell into a trap.
This time, the snake demon almost killed the good demon by mistake because she was not careful enough, and even made her misunderstand the entire human race because of herself...
Li Mu stood by the bed, looked at her, and explained: "The dwarf wanted to kill me, but he was killed by me. The lizard spirit wanted to avenge the dwarf, but he also died in my hands. I thought you were the same as the lizard spirit.
It's all evil monsters who tricked you into provoking that person. It's all a misunderstanding."
The trust between the two has long since collapsed, but the girl is still wary of Li Mu: "I don't believe it!"
Li Mu made a seal with one hand and pointed to the sky, and said: "I can swear an oath. If what I just said is even half-false, I will be turned into a dog!"
The girl looked at him blankly, the vigilance in her eyes dissipated a little.
Although she is a demon, she also knows that human practitioners dare not violate Tao oaths, not to mention that he must not be lying to himself by making such a heavy oath.
Seeing that she believed something, Li Mu struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Give me your hand, and I'll help you heal your injuries first."
The girl thought for a while, recalling the feeling just now, and tentatively stretched out her hand. Li Mu took it again. Her hand was very cold, and Li Mu once again drew out the Buddha's light and continued to send it into her body.
There was a contented expression on the girl's face, and she realized that the injuries in her body were slowly recovering.
After a while, Li Mu let go and said, "Now you should believe that I don't want to harm you, right?"
"You want me to believe..." The girl rolled her eyes and said, "Unless you continue to heal me."
Li Mu didn't have much Buddhist magic power in his body. He had used most of it just now. He was a little tired at the moment, but when the girl spoke, he stretched out his hand again.
After all, he was the cause of the disaster, which almost cost her her life. Li Mu owed her too much, and he had to satisfy her even if he squeezed out the last bit of his mana.
“So comfortable.”
"Warm..."
"Continue, don't stop..."
After a while, the girl was bathed in the Buddha's light and fell asleep sweetly.
Li Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he stood up, his feet gave way and he almost fell.
Su He supported him in time and said, "You are just too kind."
"I have to take responsibility for her with tears in my eyes for the trouble I caused." Li Mu sighed, looked at Su He, and asked, "Isn't it convenient for her to recuperate at your place?"
Su He waved his hand: "What's the inconvenience? I've been alone for a long time and I just want to have a companion."
Li Mu asked again: "Will no one find her with the demon-seeking talisman?"
Su He said: "Don't worry, this illusion has the effect of hiding the aura. Even if there are objects on her body, they can't be found here."
With Su He here, Li Mu felt completely relieved.
It was already getting late, so he said goodbye to Su He, used the magic talisman, and returned home before dark.
What happened in the past two days gave Li Mu a lot of warnings.
If power is not restrained, it is equivalent to a scourge.
As an official of the Zhou Dynasty, who could indirectly influence the life and death of others, he had to be cautious at all times and maintain respect for all life. This was not only to defend the law, but also to defend Li Mu's heart.
Ren Yuan's lesson is right in front of us. When a practitioner no longer respects life, it is easy to follow the same path as him.
Whether it's human life or demon life.
When Li Mu woke up early the next morning, he unexpectedly discovered that the mana in his body had increased slightly, almost equal to his month of hard training.
In the morning, I did a routine patrol on the streets before returning to the county government office.
As soon as Li Mu entered Qianya, he saw Wu Bo standing in the courtyard of Qianya like a mountain of meat, with a pile of colorful snake carcasses at his feet.
In the further corner, there was a dead python thrown away.
Han Zhe was right. This guy really had to retaliate. Obviously, he didn't find the snake demon, so he caught some ordinary snakes to vent his anger.
He picked up a snake, took out the snake's gall and threw it into his mouth, and cursed angrily: "Damn it, that snake demon was seriously injured by me. It's impossible to escape. Could it be that someone took advantage of me?"
Li Mu silently returned to the check-in room. There was no one in the check-in room. He walked around and came to Lao Wang's place.
Lao Wang's erudition told Li Mu that there is no harm in reading more. There are many books on the bookshelf in his room. Although most of them are useless, Li Mu can occasionally find good things.
There are so many ways to practice, and no one can know them all. Taoism exists in heaven and earth. Today's practitioners are just groping along the path of their predecessors. The more they know, the clearer they are about their ignorance.
After reading at Lao Wang's place and going to the lower office, Li Mu cooked a table of food and kept part of it. After Wan Wan finished eating, he put the other part in a food box and left the city to Bishui Bay.
After having the magical talisman, it was much easier for him to travel between the county town and Bishui Bay than before.
The snake demon girl has already relaxed her vigilance towards Li Mu. Yesterday Li Mu overdrafted his mana to help her heal her injuries. Today she is able to get out of bed and is grabbing the things in the food box with her hands, raising her head and stuffing them into her mouth.
Li Mu looked at her and asked: "How does it taste? If it doesn't suit your taste, do you want me to help you catch some toads, frogs, mice, etc..."
"Bah!" The snake demon girl glared at him fiercely and said, "You're the one who eats those disgusting things!"
Li Mu took out the dish she had grabbed with her hand and brought the other dishes to the table. The girl finished her dish in a short time, climbed to the low table, and reached out to grab the other dishes.
Li Mu gently patted the back of her hand and handed her a pair of chopsticks.
She grabbed the chopsticks with one hand, but didn't know how to use them. She followed Li Mu and Su He's example, but still didn't pick up a bite. She threw the chopsticks aside angrily and said angrily: "Humans are trouble!"
Li Mu put part of the vegetables into her bowl and asked her to grab it with her hands, and then said: "Eat quickly. After you finish eating, I will help you treat your injuries. After your injuries are healed, you can leave here..."
Her injury was caused by Li Mu, and Li Mu had the obligation and responsibility to help her heal the injury. After she recovered from the injury, Li Mu walked his Yangguan Road, and she crossed her single-plank bridge, and there would be no more involvement between one person and one monster.
The girl snorted softly and said: "I won't leave here. I managed to escape from home..."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't you say you came out to clean the door?"
The girl glanced at him and snorted: "Can't I just clean up the house by the way?"
Li Mu shrugged and said, "You can go wherever you like then, it has nothing to do with me."
The girl put down the bowl, licked her fingers, looked at Li Mu and said, "I'm not full, I want more."
Li Mu silently went to the river to catch two fish and grilled them on the bank.
Su He stood behind him and said in a sour tone: "I don't usually see you running to Bishui Bay so diligently. You men, you have a new person and you have forgotten the old one..."
"Isn't this what I owe her..." Li Mu said helplessly: "What's new and old, she is just an outsider... Waiyou, as soon as she recovers from her injury, drive her away immediately."
The snake demon girl poked her head out of the window and snorted: "I heard it all!"
Su He waved his hand and closed the window from the outside. The girl seemed to have hit her head, and there was no movement after "Ouch".
Su He then looked at Li Mu again and said with satisfaction: "She is an outsider, so I am an insider?"
To be precise, it should be a mole, but the word didn't sound very nice. Li Mu didn't follow Su He's words. A single female ghost for twenty years would tease people one after another, and ordinary people couldn't resist it.
Li Mu said sincerely: "We are life and death friends, can we compare to that little snake?"
The window of the hut opened from the inside, and the snake demon girl said unconvinced: "Who are you to call me young? I have transformed into my original form and am older than you!"
