Li Mu, Li Qing, Han Zhe, Wu Bo and a young monk named Huiyuan stood in the courtyard.
Zhou Captou looked at everyone and said: "We are going to Zhou County to quell the chaos. There are many dangers. You must pay attention to safety. No matter what situation you encounter, self-protection is the most important thing."
Li Qing did not stop Li Mu from going to Zhou County together.
Although this matter is dangerous, it is also an opportunity to train yourself.
Although she seemed really angry last time, she never mentioned that matter again after that.
This is the biggest difference between Li Qing and Liu Hanyan. She will never act like a girl, and she is not as stingy as Liu Hanyan.
Zhou Baotou warned everyone, then looked at Li Mu specifically and said, "Li Mu, you have the lowest moral standards. At all times, you must stay with the gangsters and not run far away."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, I understand."
Zhou Captou glanced at everyone again and said: "Captain Wu has the highest level of cultivation. I hope everyone will follow Wu Captou's arrangements along the way. I will wait for everyone to return victoriously at the Yamen."
Zhou County is a neighboring county to Yangqiu County. From Yangqiu County to the place where the two counties meet, it only takes half a day for practitioners like Li Mu.
After leaving the county town, the four of them, Li Mu and others, all used magic walking talismans to rush on their way. Young monk Huiyuan was able to follow them steadily just by relying on his two legs.
Li Mu walked beside Huiyuan and asked curiously: "Little Master Huiyuan, what kind of magical power do you have?"
Huiyuan smiled and explained: "These are the legs that follow you like a shadow. They are also very good for traveling."
In this world, Taoist practitioners like to use talismans, formations, etc. to make up for the shortcomings in their magic power. Buddhism majors in physical magical powers and has countless physical skills. Li Mu has always wanted to learn it, but unfortunately he has no chance.
Huiyuan looked at Li Mu and suddenly asked: "Donor Li gives the young monk a very friendly feeling. Does he also practice Buddhist magic power?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "Master Xuandu once gave me a Dharma scripture."
"It turns out to be Master Xuandu." Huiyuan said with a smile on his face: "To be favored by Master Xuandu, Donor Li must have a deep connection with Buddhism."
Li Mu said modestly: "Wherever I am, I just think about it when I have nothing to do..."
Being on the road was boring, Li Qing didn't like chatting, and Li Mu and Wu Bo Han Zhe didn't have anything to say. After getting closer to the young monk Huiyuan, they soon started chatting.
Although Li Mu has been practicing by reciting the Heart Sutra, his understanding of Buddhist practice is not deep.
Lao Wang's bookshelf is filled with Taoist books, none of which are about Buddhism.
During the chat with Huiyuan, Li Mu revealed a lot of information that he didn't know before.
For example, the first three realms of practicing Buddhism are enlightenment, contemplation, and conditional awareness; the corresponding realms of Taoism are refining the soul, condensing the soul, and gathering the spirit.
When cultivating the lower three realms, Taoism cultivates the seven souls and Buddhism cultivates the six roots. In fact, they are somewhat similar.
Young Monk Huiyuan's current state is the second state of contemplation. Li Mu is barely entering the state of Kanpo for the first time. Apart from being able to reveal the Buddha's light with both hands, he does not know any Buddhist magical powers.
The two walked and chatted all the way, and the group finally arrived in Zhou County before the sun set.
A large number of people gathered in a small village adjacent to Zhou County and Yangqiu County.
Most of these people are common people with ragged clothes and haggard faces, and some are practitioners who are not very high in cultivation.
Most of the people in the small village were injured. Judging from the wounds on their exposed upper bodies, it was obvious that they had been poisoned by corpse poison.
Li Mu saw a cultivator grabbing a handful of glutinous rice from the cloth bag he was carrying and covering the wound on his arm. A burst of black smoke suddenly came out of the wound. The cultivator clenched his teeth and looked ferocious.
He fainted directly from the pain.
"Amitabha." Huiyuan looked away and chanted the Buddha's name unbearably.
As soon as the few people entered the village, they were welcomed in by an old official.
As the old official walked away, he asked, "Are some of your colleagues from Yangqiu County?"
Han Zhe nodded and asked, "How is the situation in Zhou County?"
"It's much better." A smile appeared on the old official's face and he said: "Help from all counties has come, and many immortal masters from the Fulu Sect have also come down. Even Fei Zhan killed one. There is nothing left in the previous towns.
Seriously, those here now are all injured in the front..."
From the old official's words, Li Mu and others learned about the general situation of Zhou County.
A few days ago, the zombie scourge in Zhou County was on the verge of getting out of control and had a tendency to spread to surrounding counties. The county governor had no choice but to summon the power of the entire North County to suppress the zombies in Zhou County and asked for help from the Fu Lu Sect.
Within a few days, the situation was under control.
There are countless strong men from the Fu Lu Sect. They killed a flying zombie as soon as they arrived in Zhou County. If it hadn't been for the birth of several more flying zombies among the corpses in the past three months, most of the zombie scourge would have been solved this time.
.
However, with this unprecedented power, it is only a matter of time before this disaster is solved.
The location where Li Mu and others were located was in the rear area. Some injured practitioners and people were placed here. Further ahead, there were villages that were severely affected by the disaster. People gathered together in villages, and those households
Or even a few families living scattered outside were asked to move to the nearest village.
The zombies that are ravaging Zhou County are not the naturally occurring white zombies and black zombies. The people who turned into zombies after being bitten by flying zombies and jumping zombies are more harmful than the white zombies and black zombies. They hide in dark places during the day.
They will come out at night to do harm.
The geology of Zhou County is unique, and there are many caves underground. They used to be rare sights, but this time they have become a hiding place for these zombies.
Daytime is the best time to exterminate these zombies, but the terrain of underground caves is extremely complicated. They hide underground. Even if practitioners find the entrance, they dare not go deep into it. They can only wait for them to come out at night before exterminating them.
The old official took them to a courtyard and said: "It is dangerous at night, so I have to rest here for the night. If you want to continue moving forward, it is best to wait until early tomorrow morning."
Zombies move in groups at night, and even if they are encountered by practitioners in the God-Gathering Realm, they will find it difficult to resist them. The practitioners in Zhou County often move in groups.
The courtyard is very shabby, with only three rooms. Li Qing is the only woman, so she naturally has to occupy one room. The remaining two rooms are occupied by Wu Bo and Han Zhe, and Li Mu and the young monk Hui Yuan.
There was only a wooden bed in the room between Li Mu and Li Mu. After he put down his luggage, he found that Huiyuan was not in the room. Li Mu walked outside and saw Huiyuan squatting next to an injured commoner, with Buddha's light looming in his hands, slowly
Cross into that person's wound.
With the influx of golden Buddha light, traces of black energy gradually emerged from the wounds on the man's arms.
That was the corpse energy in his body.
If this corpse energy is not eliminated, it will spread to the entire body, eventually causing their intelligence to disappear and become zombies.
This is also the troublesome thing about zombies. As long as you are scratched and bitten by them, even if you are not dead at the time, if the corpse poison is not removed in time, you will eventually turn into one of their kind.
Although glutinous rice is effective in removing corpse toxins, the process is too painful, and Buddhist magic has some miraculous effects on healing wounds and removing toxins.
Li Mu walked to Huiyuan, squatted down, stretched out his palms, and golden light appeared in his palms. He transferred the Buddha's light into the other person's body. After a trace of black energy escaped from that person's chest, his face immediately turned rosy.
many.
Huiyuan looked at the golden light in Li Mu's palm and said with a smile: "Donor Li is indeed born with wisdom. He has only practiced for a few months and has such abilities. If he can take refuge in my Buddha, there will definitely be a great monk in Buddhism in the future..."
Li Mu waved his hand: "Let's talk about this later..."
Both the old monk and the young monk wanted him to become a monk, but Li Mu was a layman. Although practicing Taoism and Buddhism were all practices, after becoming a monk, he could not marry a wife, and the Buddha could not help him solve his personal problems, so practicing Taoism would not be possible.
Now that these things exist, you can marry as many wives as you want, and as many as you want, which is much more tempting than becoming a monk...
If you take ten thousand steps back and practice Buddhist magical powers, you don’t have to become a monk. Wouldn’t it be great to be like this now?
Li Mu called the old official, called out the people and practitioners who had been injured by the zombies, and together with Huiyuan, helped them remove the corpse poison.
After the corpse poison was dissipated, the body immediately felt much more relaxed, and everyone thanked them profusely.
"Thank you, little master."
"Thank you so much, Master."
Because he could cast Buddha's light, Li Mu was also mistaken for a monk practicing with his hair on. After explaining it several times, he didn't bother to explain.
Li Mu saved another civilian. When he turned around, he saw the young monk Huiyuan looking at him blankly.
Li Mu touched his face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
Huiyuan shook his head: "No."
"Then what do you want to see me do?"
Huiyuan touched his bald head and asked, "Donor Li, don't you want merit?"
"Merit?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of merit?"
