Since he was already familiar with Liu Hanyan, Li Mu told her the truth. "You have a Pure Yin Body. There's no better shortcut than finding a Pure Yang Body for Dual Cultivation."
Liu Hanyan spat. "Bah, you wish!"
"I didn't say it was me." Li Mu looked at her and comforted her. "Don't worry. Didn't I tell you that you're not my type?"
Liu Hanyan took a deep breath and forced herself to keep smiling. She asked, "Is Arrester Li your type?"
"Not really …"
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "If a woman has the boss's strength, Wanwan's personality, and your money …"
Liu Hanyan snorted. "Dream on!"
After eating three bowls of noodles in a row, Li Mu felt a little thirsty. He asked Liu Hanyan, "Is there any tea?"
Liu Hanyan put away the bowls and chopsticks and said coldly, "Do you want some water from the pot?"
…
Liu Hanyan was really a woman who liked to get angry. Unfortunately, she had already refined the second soul, so her anger didn't show on the outside. Li Mu couldn't absorb it anymore.
All the Cultivators in the county government had gone to Zhou County. Old Wang had also gone out to visit his relatives. The county government was seriously understaffed. Li Mu was temporarily transferred to the household office to take over Old Wang's work.
In fact, Old Wang's clerical work was the busiest in the county government.
Zhang Shan and Li Si had finished patrolling. They were either sleeping in the guard room or in the brothel. Old Wang's work, however, was not as easy.
Li Mu had been sorting out the past case files, managing the household registration files, and coordinating the cases reported to the county government. He was so busy during the day that he didn't even have time to read books.
"I think it's good to be a clerk." Liu Hanyan and Li Mu had different ideas. After dinner, they sat in the yard, fanning themselves with a small fan, and said, "You don't have to patrol, kill zombies, or catch monsters. You just have to sit in the guard room every day. After two years, you can get a wife. Isn't that good?"
Li Mu was reading a book and casually said, "That will have to wait until I get a wife first."
What Liu Hanyan said actually made a lot of sense. Ordinary people just wanted to live a stable life. Old Wang had been in this position all his life. Although he had not stepped into the path of cultivation, he had lived longer than Wu Bo and Senior Brother Qin combined.
Liu Hanyan probed, "What do you think of our Wanwan?"
Li Mu flipped through the pages and asked without raising his eyelids, "What do you mean?"
Liu Hanyan said, "Wanwan is 16 this year. In two years, she will be 18. She will be at the age of marriage. At that time, I will marry Wanwan to you. What do you think?"
Li Mu put down the book and asked doubtfully, "What about you?"
Liu Hanyan glared at him and said, "What are you dreaming about?"
Li Mu explained, "I mean, if Wanwan gets married, you will have no one to serve you, right?"
"I can live well alone. I don't need anyone to serve me," Liu Hanyan said, "Besides, Wanwan is my sister. I have never treated her as a maid."
She looked at Li Mu and said, "Don't change the subject. What do you think of Wanwan?"
Li Mu opened the book again and said, "She's very good."
Although the little girl was a little fierce and dull, she was well-behaved and obedient. She looked a little childish now, but a girl would change eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. Who knew what she would grow up to be in two years...
Liu Hanyan asked, "Do you mean that you agree to marry Wanwan?"
Although Wanwan was gentle and well-behaved, Li Mu had always treated her as a younger sister and had never had any thoughts in that regard. Instead, he often compared Liu Hanyan and Li Qing together.
It was just a comparison. In the past few months, he had been thinking about how to live and had never really considered this matter.
He was not Li Si. He was not so careless that he only had a few months to live at most. He still had the leisure to fall in love.
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I just want to cultivate for the time being. I haven't thought about these things."
Liu Hanyan said, "The past is the past. Now that you have condensed the four spirits, you can think about it. Life is not only about cultivation. Haven't you thought about the future?"
"The future?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "In the future, I want to make a lot of money and buy a big house."
"And then?"
"Hire some maids and servants and experience the feeling of being served by others..."
"And then?"
"And marry a few beautiful wives..."
Li Mu sometimes wondered if God felt that he had suffered too much in his previous life, so he was given another life to make up for it.
If that was really the case, then he must think about some things that he had not dared to think about before.
If conditions permitted, he wanted to marry a woman with a high cultivation, a gentle woman, and a rich woman. When he was bored, the family could gather together to play mahjong to pass the time and help him fulfill his love and lust. Wouldn't that be perfect?
Liu Hanyan scoffed at Li Mu's dream. She said, "Ha, men." Then she floated away.
After the Fu-lu School intervened, the situation in Zhou County reversed. The people of Yangqiu County no longer panicked. The shops on the street reopened. Because of the people's vengeful spending, business was even better than before. She had endless work to do.
Every day, news about Zhou County would gather at the county office.
Han Zhe sent a letter saying that after learning about Wu Bo's death, the Elder Wu of the seventh branch was furious. He went down the mountain in person and led many cultivators of the seventh branch to search the entire Zhou County.
Under the fury of the Master of Creation Realm, the zombie disaster in Zhou County ended almost without any suspense.
White zombies, black zombies, jumping zombies, and even new corpses that were still in the graves and had just been condensed by the Corpse Qi were dug out and burned.
After this incident, there would probably not be any more zombies in Zhou County for a long time.
At that moment, Elder Wu was chasing after the Flying Stiff that killed Wu Bo. The other two Flying Stiff in Zhou County had died in his hands three days ago.
The group of zombies had no leader, so they were easily eliminated by other cultivators.
From another perspective, Wu Bo's death was not completely meaningless. At the very least, the people of Zhou County benefited from his death. If not for Wu Bo's death, the Fu-lu School would not have sent a Master of Creation Realm.
The zombie disaster in Zhou County had temporarily come to an end. Li Mu was writing a notice and asked Zhang Shan and Li Si to post it at the entrance of the street.
The notice was written by Zhang County Magistrates. The content was to advise the people that if there was a funeral in their family, they must report it to the government. After the government checked the grave, they would bury the dead. It was forbidden to bury the dead casually, and violators would be severely punished.
After all, the Landlord Zhang of Zhang Village had buried his father in a corpse breeding ground and lost his life in vain. After that, the zombie tide in Zhou County overflowed, and thousands of people died. It caused great panic in the counties of the North County. All of this was a warning to Zhang County Magistrates.
The location of the mass grave outside the city was very particular. The terrain there was special, so it would not accumulate a trace of murderous aura. The possibility of the corpses buried there was zero.
Some poor people who could not afford a Feng Shui master would choose to bury their dead there.
But if they did not understand Feng Shui and coincidentally buried their loved ones in a place where they should not be buried, the consequences would be unimaginable. Landlord Zhang was a good example.
Li Mu took out a notice and wrote two lines on it to warn the people.
"There are thousands of tombs, but safety is the most important. If the funeral is not standard, the family will cry …"
… …
Old Wang was not in the government office. His room on duty temporarily belonged to Li Mu.
Li Mu found a book on Feng Shui tombs from the bookshelf and studied it seriously.
"Qi will scatter when it is carried by the wind, and the water will stop when it is carried by the boundary. The ancients gathered the qi and did not scatter, and when it was carried out, it stopped. This is why Feng Shui is called Feng Shui. In Feng Shui, obtaining the water is the best, and hiding the wind is second … "
"Ten taboos of tombs: first, do not come from the back. Second, do not open the front. Third, do not bow in the direction of the water. Fourth, do not sweep the cave. Fifth, do not let the dragon and tiger go straight …"
"Eight Dragons Direction Formula: Touch the acupoint and stand in the direction must be connected. The eight dragons must be separated clearly. The fire dragon must not be created. The water restrains it. The wood will help the fire dragon rise …"
… …
When the people moved or buried their graves, they had to report to the government office. Although it could reduce the safety risks, the government office's workload was also increased. Moreover, there had to be professionals who understood Feng Shui and tombs.
This was also a very deep knowledge. In the government office, other than Old Wang, it seemed that only Han Zhe had dabbled in it.
Li Mu memorized these rules and taboos. Perhaps they would be useful in the future.
He looked for a while and heard a slight noise outside the duty room. At the same time, he also sensed a few familiar auras.
Li Mu walked out of the duty room and saw Li Qing, Han Zhe, and Huiyuan standing in the courtyard.
