Li Si waved at Zhang Shan from afar and said, "Old Zhang, come here. I need your help with something."
Zhang Shan looked up and said, "I'm busy. I don't have time!"
Li Si took out a copper coin from his bosom and waved it in front of his eyes.
Zhang Shan smiled disdainfully, "You want to buy me over with just one copper coin?"
Li Si took out another copper coin.
Zhang Shan snatched the copper coin from his hand and put it in his own pocket, saying, "What help?"
On the street, Li Qing was patrolling. Zhang Shan suddenly ran over from behind. He held his forehead and said, "Boss, I feel a little dizzy. I think I'm sick …"
Li Qing took out a piece of Fu-lu and handed it to him, saying, "Turn it into a bowl of talisman water. Normal colds and fevers will be fine after drinking it."
"Thank you, boss." Zhang Shan took the Fu-lu and ran to the back of the street. He looked at Li Si and said doubtfully, "You just want to trick the Fu-lu. You can ask the boss directly. The boss will give it to you."
Li Mu looked at Li Si and asked, "What does this mean? The last time I was sick, the boss also gave me a piece of Fu-lu."
Li Si said, "You try again."
Li Mu looked at him strangely and walked out of the street corner. Li Qing saw him from afar but ignored him.
Li Mu took the initiative to walk over and said, "Boss, I think I'm sick. I feel a little dizzy and my body is very uncomfortable …"
Li Qing reached out and touched his forehead, then grabbed his hand and used her transcendence energy to check. She frowned and said, "It's not hot. There's nothing wrong with your body …"
In the distance, Zhang Shan stared blankly at Li Qing who was touching Li Mu here and there. He then looked at the Fu-lu in his hand and said in surprise, "It's really different!"
After a moment, Li Mu walked to the street corner with a dazed expression. Li Si glanced at him and said, "One month."
Li Mu still didn't understand and asked, "You mean, the boss really likes me?"
Li Si said, "Maybe it's just a little good impression. Whether she likes you or not has yet to be tested. But the boss does treat you differently from us. In short, you've lost."
Li Mu's face revealed a thoughtful expression as he muttered, "Why does the boss like me?"
Li Si asked indifferently, "Do you need a reason to like someone?"
"Don't?"
"Do?"
"Don't?"
… …
In terms of who understood women better, even ten Li Mu's couldn't compare to Li Si's. If he said that Li Qing might like him, then it was really possible.
Li Mu first assumed that there was such a possibility. Then he thought about it carefully. In the beginning, Li Qing didn't treat him much differently from Zhang Shan and Li Si. Later, after learning that he had a pure Yang body, she treated Li Mu better and better …
Did she have a good impression of him or was she lusting after his body?
Li Mu had read many books and knew a lot of knowledge, but he didn't understand women's minds.
Liu Hanyan had made up her mind to be single for the rest of her life. The possibility of Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation was infinitely close to zero. If he was together with Li Qing, who had already gathered her spirit, Li Mu's seven spirits would quickly reach perfection. No matter how you looked at it, she was Li Mu's best choice.
If she really had a good impression of Li Mu, as long as they cultivated their feelings in the following days, the two of them were very likely to have a happy ending.
However, with her personality, she regarded cultivation as extremely important and might not necessarily care about the feelings between men and women.
Moreover, if the two of them were together, Li Mu's dream of a beautiful wife and concubine with a big house would probably be ruined.
Li Si glanced at him and said, "You already have a boss and you still want to flirt with other women. Do you think you have a long life?"
Li Mu couldn't help but be shocked. "You can see that too?"
Li Si said, "I understand women, and I understand men."
Li Si had some skills after all. He could actually see through his thoughts. Li Mu couldn't see this even if he used the Heavenly Eye.
However, Li Mu wasn't sure what Li Qing was thinking about him. He still planned to observe from the side.
He walked back to the street and caught up with Li Qing. He asked, "Boss, do you want to come to my house for lunch today?"
"No need." Li Qing directly refused this time. She asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I'm fine now. Maybe it's because the three souls haven't been condensed."
Walking beside Li Qing, Li Mu's mind flashed. He suddenly thought of a way to test whether Li Qing had a good impression of him.
He looked at Li Qing and suddenly said, "Boss, I've thought of a way to condense the last two souls."
Li Qing frowned and asked, "How do you want to collect 'Love' and 'Lust'?"
Li Mu said, "I read in books that some cultivators will directly disperse the last three souls and then play with women's feelings …"
Seeing Li Qing frown, Li Mu hurriedly explained, "Of course I won't use this method. Scumbags who play with women's feelings are even more despicable than Li Si."
Li Qing's brows relaxed again.
Li Mu took the opportunity to say, "But I can marry a few more wives and obtain the last two emotions from my wives. It won't violate the law and there won't be any moral problems. That should be fine …"
"Hey, boss, don't go …"
…
Li Qing seemed to be really angry. Ever since Li Mu told her that he wanted to marry a few more wives, she hadn't spoken to Li Mu for three days.
She didn't even enter the room on duty. She was alone in the room where Old Wang used to be on duty, doing who knows what.
Li Qing's attitude made Li Mu feel a bit panicked. He wondered if he should take the initiative to apologize. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from the door. Then he smelled the fragrance that he hadn't smelled in a long time.
Li Qing put a book on the table in front of him. She flipped to a page and said, "Love is divided into big love and small love. Lust isn't only about lust. There are other ways to condense the last two souls."
Li Mu stood up and smiled apologetically, "I was only joking that day."
Li Qing said calmly, "I wasn't joking with you."
Seeing that she seemed to be serious, Li Mu also became serious and carefully read the contents of this page.
This book on cultivation actually recorded a method for those who had lost their seven physical souls to condense their seven physical souls again.
It turned out that Li Qing had been helping Li Mu find these things for the past three days.
This touched Li Mu's heart. At the same time, he also regretted it. Three days ago, he really shouldn't have deliberately played that kind of joke with her to test her.
He first put away his other thoughts and studied this book seriously.
Among the seven emotions, love didn't just refer to the love between a man and a woman. Li Mu's previous understanding was a bit narrow.
Other than the love between a man and a woman, there was also the love of a mother, father, and siblings. Li Mu didn't have parents or siblings. Naturally, he couldn't obtain these emotions of love.
But these were all small loves. There was also a kind of love known as big love.
Small loves left no trace, big loves had no boundaries. This kind of big love referred to the benevolence toward all living beings.
If one loved all living beings, they would naturally be loved by all living beings. This was another kind of love that was different from love, parental love, and brotherly love.
No matter how Li Mu looked at it, he felt that this so-called "big love" was very similar to Buddhist merit and Daoist psychokinesis. Merit and psychokinesis were a kind of power obtained from the hearts of people through doing good deeds to save people or taking in believers.
Not only Daoist and Buddhist sects, but even countries also needed this kind of power.
In every county and county of the Great Zhou, there was a national temple built for the people to worship. The prosperity and desolation of the national temple were closely linked to the prosperity and decline of the country.
This kind of phenomenon could be explained from two different perspectives.
Merit and psychokinesis were both real and mysterious powers. Whether it was Buddhist or Daoist, they could directly absorb psychokinesis to cultivate. It was the same for the imperial court and the royal family.
More psyche power could only be produced if more people sincerely worshipped Daoist temples, Buddhist halls, or state temples.
Therefore, whether it was Daoist or Buddhist sects, they would actively enter the world. By stabilizing the place, they could win the hearts of the people and obtain their power of faith.
The imperial court also had to maintain the long-term stability of the counties and let the people live in peace and contentment. Only then could they sincerely worship the national temples.
From another perspective, if the counties were governed in peace and the people lived in peace and contentment, there would naturally not be too many people who would commit evil deeds, let alone rebel. Wasn't the continuous and stable operation of the Great Zhou's entire system a sign of the country's prosperity?
What Li Mu needed was to obtain the faith of the people, which was the big love.
However, to obtain the faith of the people was obviously much more difficult than marrying a few wives. He might as well … Li Mu raised his head and looked at Li Qing. In the end, he did not dare to speak his mind.
There was a replacement for "love". As for "lust", it was not the same as lust.
The six desires were similar to the six senses. They were the desire of seeing, the desire of hearing, the desire of fragrance, the desire of taste, the desire of touch, and the desire of will. Lust was actually similar to the desire of will. If it did not exist, it could be replaced by the other five desires.
The desire of seeing referred to the desire for beauty. If someone coveted Li Mu's beauty, he could absorb their desire of seeing.
The desire of hearing referred to the desire for beautiful sounds and praise.
The desire of fragrance and taste referred to the desire for fragrance and good food. Li Mu could not let others eat him.
The desire of touch, as the name implied, referred to the desire of the flesh other than the matters between men and women. Liu Hanyan always liked to touch his body. This was the embodiment of the desire of touch.
It was a pity that Li Mu could not absorb love from her. This was also why Li Mu was sure that she did not like him.
Li Qing looked at him and said faintly, "There are many ways to collect the last two emotions. You don't have to force yourself to marry several wives."
Li Mu actually did not feel forced. In fact, he was looking forward to it. But when he saw Li Qing's expression, he coughed lightly and said, "I just want to cultivate now. I don't want to think about the matters between men and women …"
The current Li Mu was not yet nineteen. Indeed, it was not the time to think about these things.
He needed to refine the evil emotions as soon as possible and condense another soul. Then, he could continue to refine the soul power left in his body by Monk Qianhuan. He needed to condense the three souls into a Primordial Spirit as soon as possible and enter the Middle Three Realms. This was what he should do now.
Only when he entered the Transcendent Realm could he begin to learn those mysterious and strange Transcendent Techniques. He could truly be considered to have stepped through the door of cultivation.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the courtyard outside the duty room. Li Mu walked outside and saw several uniformed people standing in the courtyard of the county office.
Their uniforms were slightly different from those of Li Mu and the others. They were more exquisite and imposing.
The leading man raised his head and asked loudly, "Where is the Yangqiu County Magistrate?"
