Zhou Zhenyue raised his head to look at the perpetual snow on the main peak, and a glimmer of expectation rose in his heart.
He hoped that after staying with that freak for a year, Zhao Ling could achieve the kind of growth that the elders in the faction expected. After all, the little girl was very talented. But it was a pity that she was too naive and idealistic and did not know the dangers of the world.
It was not a bad choice to let the young county magistrate, a weirdo, torture her.
For some unknown reason, Zhou Zhenyue had a special expectation and trust for the young county magistrate.
Although Li Mu had killed his nephew, Zhou Wu, in fact, Zhou Wu had done too many evil things and brought about his own destruction.
"The promise of two swords … One day, I will fulfill it."
He muttered to himself.
For a martial artist, there was nothing more exciting than encountering an opponent that could make one's blood boil.
And for Zhou Zhenyue, Li Mu was undoubtedly such an opponent.
After a long while.
Zhou Zhenyue withdrew his gaze from the snow on the top of the mountain and looked up and down.
At the foot of the main peak, there was a large piece of fertile land that had been reclaimed into farmland, vegetable gardens, and orchards.
Some farmers affiliated with the Taibai Sword Faction were busy working in the fields.
In the large Taibai Sword Faction, the experts in the faction were not immortals above the mortal world. They also needed to have three meals a day and all kinds of grains. So, there were more than a thousand farmers living and multiplying in this place, just like a village.
Because of Zhou Zhenyue, all the members of the Zhou family, including Zhou Zhenhai, were arranged to work in the fields in this village for the time being.
Zhou Zhenhai, who was full of resentment, was also among them.
After the defeat, Zhou Zhenhai was quite frightened by Li Mu's power and became silent for a long time. But whether he had let go of the hatred or was planning the next revenge plan, no one knew.
…
At the same time, in Taibai County.
Li Mu walked out of the training room.
In the room behind him, there were more than 30 pieces of jade ware of different sizes. They were carved into different shapes and had some unknown patterns and handwriting on them. They looked strange. In the eyes of those jade ware carvers, such craftsmanship was definitely a waste of good jade.
Those were the results of Li Mu's work in the past few days.
They were also the most important part of the tactical deployment.
The sea didn't move, and the formation didn't move without eyes.
These jade artifacts served as the eye of the formation.
Accompanied by Li Zhaochen, Li Mu carefully inspected the completed projects around the county government.
More than 300 trees of different kinds were planted around the county government. Nine ditches were dug and connected to each other. Clean water was drawn from the new wells and connected to the old springs. Then, they were connected to the original springs of the county government. of the flowing water flowed around the county government and finally converged into a river below. of the county government of the county.
At the same time, there were a total of 72 rockery in different directions around the county government...
The back wall of the county government's backyard was also demolished and expanded by hundreds of meters. The dense forest outside the back wall was also trimmed. Some crooked trees were cut down and a lawn was laid out. The lawn extended to the cliff and the abyss.
Now, there were only 36 dry wells about seven meters underground. The bottom of the well was compacted with stone, and the gap was smeared with quicklime, just like the stone cell of the dungeon. Dry soil was reserved at the mouth of the well, but it hadn't been filled yet.
Except for Li Mu, no one knew what those 21 dry wells were used for.
Li Mu was very satisfied after a round of inspection.
"Well done. You've worked hard these days." He patted Li Zhaochen on the shoulder.
This young jailer was quick-witted, meticulous, and quick-witted. He was really worth cultivating.
"You don't need to go to prison in the future. Stay in the county government and start as a Dutou Official." Li Mu said with satisfaction.
Li Zhaochen was overjoyed. "Your honor, thank you for your guidance."
In the past few days, he was temporarily transferred to the county government. Generally speaking, after finishing his work, he had to return to the prison to be on duty. Originally, he expected to do a good job and get the recognition of the county magistrate, so that he might have a chance to get rid of the status of a jailer and become a soldier or a guard.
Now, he finally got what he wanted.
And it was better than expected. He directly became a Dutou Official.
That was a meteoric rise.
"I'm willing to sacrifice my life for Your Honor, even if I have to go through a mountain of knives and a sea of fire." Li Zhaochen seized the opportunity to show his loyalty.
Li Mu smiled and said, "You just need to do a good job with me. You don't need to sacrifice your life."
Li Zhaochen grinned and subconsciously scratched the back of his head. He was too excited.
He was so excited that he would wake up with a smile even in his dreams.
"Dutou Official, from now on, I'm also an official."
"Well, go ahead. I'll allow you to take a day off to handle the handover of your post, and then go home to have a look." Li Mu attached great importance to this young man, so he simply did a good deed to the end. After a pause, he said, "Send my order. Let irrelevant people leave the county government first. Without my order, no one is allowed to come in."
"Yes, Your Honor. Thank you, Your Honor. "Li Zhaochen looked excited and left.
Li Mu smiled.
He was going to start setting up the tactical deployment.
If setting up the tactical deployment was compared to a chemical experiment, then the civil engineering work before was equivalent to preparing all kinds of experimental supplies and materials. Next, he had to control the heat, the steps, and the amount of materials. He had to do everything perfectly to really complete a correct experiment and get the desired result.
Li Mu measured with his steps. After making sure the positions of the 36 dry wells were correct, he returned to the training room and took out 36 pieces of jade in different shapes. He put them into the 36 dry wells according to different numbers and positions.
After that, Li Mu began to observe.
The jade in the dry wells did not respond.
"Something's wrong …"
He realized that there must have been a problem with his previous calculations.
Otherwise, these jades would have produced some strange reactions.
So, he began to think carefully.
"What the old faker said should not be wrong. The only explanation is that the positions of some constellations on Earth and this planet have changed, so the order and position of the jade also need to be adjusted?"
He pondered and then began to adjust the position of the jade in the dry wells.
This adjustment process was time-consuming. It was like deciphering the password of someone else's bank card. He needed to make different sequences and try them one by one.
Fortunately, Li Mu knew the general direction and was not blindly trying.
About two hours later.
"It's done."
Li Mu shouted excitedly.
The moment the 30th piece of jade in the size of a fist was put into the dry well, it immediately gave off a slight vibration, and then a layer of faint silver mist appeared on its surface, as if some kind of energy was about to be ejected from the jade. But in just a dozen breaths, the silver mist began to become dense.
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Mu immediately filled up the 36 dry wells.
The strange phenomenon of the jade was temporarily buried by the soil.
Li Mu took a deep breath and walked quickly to a position he had already chosen. He pinched his hands and triggered a mysterious thunder method.
The old faker once attached great importance to this kind of thunder method. It was called Thunder Attraction, which could forcibly intercept the power of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth to refine and strengthen the tactical deployment. At the same time, this kind of thunder method could forcibly inject the power of heaven and earth into the tactical deployment, which was the key to start the tactical deployment.
It was also Li Mu's first try.
…
…
"Rumble!"
A clap of thunder suddenly sounded in the sky without warning.
On the streets of the county, many people were startled and looked in the direction of the county government in surprise.
Large patches of dark clouds floated over from the distant mountains at an extremely fast speed. It seemed that there was some kind of power driving the dark cyan clouds away. The dark cyan clouds first covered the area above the county government. Soon, with the county government as the center, the dark cyan clouds spread out to the entire county.
In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds covered the two suns in the sky.
The light became dim.
"What's going on?"
"Is it going to rain?"
"These clouds … don't look like a sign of a rainstorm."
Many people were extremely surprised, not knowing what was going on.
It was extremely abnormal for such a phenomenon to appear in this season. Such a thing rarely happened.
It was as if the day had suddenly turned into night.
"Rumble!"
The thunder rumbled.
Large swathes of purple lightning flashed in the dark clouds above the county government like purple snakes dancing wildly. The scene was both beautiful and bizarre. The purple lightning streaked through the dark clouds and became more and more dense. In less than 10 minutes, the entire sky above the county government seemed to have become a purple sea of lightning, magnificent and incredible.
Such a change, as expected, attracted the attention of the young prince, Qin Zheng, who was doing his homework in the Orchid Pavilion.
"Sister, look!" He dropped his writing brush, ran to the outer corridor, and looked in the direction of the county government with great surprise.
As expected, Princess Qin Zhen also came out. Her beautiful eyes were glittering.
"Is that magic?"
"It's magic."
Wang Chen showed up.
His expression was one of extreme shock.
"This is … the power of magic, a thunder method with amazing destructive power. But what kind of thunder method is it? How can it be so powerful? It's too horrible. It can draw the purple thunder like a wild snake. I've never heard of it …"
Wang Chen looked shocked and muttered to himself.
He was thinking that there seemed to be no other warlocks in the Taibai County government.
"Then, who is it that is using the thunder method?"
Could it be that there was a Guru hidden in the county government … No, a warlock who could use this thunder method might have surpassed the Guru Realm and reached the Great Master Realm. Could it be that there was a Great Master Realm warlock hidden in the county government?
Wang Chen looked at Qin Zhen.
The latter was staring in the direction of the county government.
Because of its location and height, the Orchid Pavilion was the only place in the entire Taibai County where one could observe the county government at the same level. Therefore, standing on the outer corridor of the pavilion, the purple lightning was almost within reach. Therefore, the three of them could feel the terrible power contained in the lightning more clearly than anyone else in the county.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the thunder suddenly stopped.
The purple lightning that filled the sky also quickly dissipated.
The dark clouds dispersed.
The sky was blue, and the two suns hung high in the sky. The sky was bright and blue. The afternoon was the time when the sun shone the brightest.
Many people looked at the sky in silence.
What happened just now seemed to be an illusion, mysterious and unreal.
In the Orchid Pavilion, Qin Zhen and Wang Chen looked at each other and were also very surprised.
That kind of horrible thunder method came like a thunder and left like smoke, without any destructive power. When it was accumulated to the peak, it suddenly disappeared, giving people a feeling that it had a strong start but a weak finish.
"What's going on?"
"Look, the county government seems to have changed."
Just then, the young prince Qin Zheng pointed to the distance and exclaimed.
