North County, in an endless stretch of mountains.
The mountain peaks stacked up, and the trees were lush. Three figures flew across the mountain range.
Li Mu stepped on Baiyi and was as steady as Mount Tai. His speed was not inferior to the White Demon King and the Green Bull Demon at all.
Cultivators had to reach the Transcendent Realm before they could master the Wind Manipulation or Sword Manipulation. Baiyi had a sword spirit, so he didn't need Li Mu to control him. He could also manipulate the sword with Madam Chu's mana.
Strictly speaking, Li Mu's true cultivation was not as good as the sword under his feet.
The White Demon King strolled in the air. With every step, he could cross more than 30 meters. He glanced at Li Mu and said, "Brother Li, you have such ability at such a young age. Your future is limitless."
Li Mu smiled and asked, "Does the Demon King want me to save someone?"
The White Demon King nodded and said, "If Brother Li can save her, I will definitely thank you. Even if you can't, I will prepare a small gift. I won't let you come here for nothing."
Li Mu felt that if he became a doctor, he would have a much better future than a constable.
Although he wasn't well-versed in medicine, the Buddhist light could cure all kinds of illnesses. Many monks used this method to save lives and gain merit.
Even if he could not become a famous official or a famous doctor, he might be able to gain the love of the people and condense his last soul.
Li Mu thought about this possibility as he hurried. The three of them flew above the mountain range for an hour and landed on a steep mountain peak.
Not far ahead, there was a cave entrance. Two demons were guarding the cave entrance.
Li Mu could not see their true forms at a glance. They should be two Core Formation demons.
The two demons walked forward and bowed to the White Demon King and the Green Bull Demon. "Big Brother, Second Brother."
Li Mu followed the four demons into the cave. On the cave wall, there was a pearl embedded every few steps. The light it emitted illuminated the entire cave.
The cave was very deep. After walking for nearly a hundred steps, they should have reached the center of the mountain.
After another ten steps or so, the temperature in the cave suddenly dropped, and it suddenly became cold.
A moment later, Li Mu followed the four demons into a cold ice cave.
The area of this ice cave was only a few feet wide. The walls were covered in white frost and the soil under his feet was also frozen stiff. The temperature in the cave was extremely low and Li Mu had to circulate his mana to resist the cold.
There was a stone platform in the middle of the ice cave, and an ice coffin was placed on top of the stone platform. The ice coffin was crystal clear, and there seemed to be someone lying inside.
The White Demon King flew onto the stone platform and said, "Brother Li, come up as well."
Li Mu lightly tapped the ground with his toes and lightly leaped onto the stone platform.
He looked at the ice coffin and saw a woman lying in it. The woman appeared to be in her twenties, and her appearance was somewhat similar to Bai Yinxin's. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there seemed to be a shadow of her in the eyes of the green snake.
What was different from them was that this woman had two horns on her head. They looked like antlers, but they did not seem to be antlers.
The White Demon King looked at the woman in the ice coffin and said softly, "She is Yinxin and Tingxin's mother. More than ten years ago, her Primordial Spirit was greatly damaged. I could only seal her in this ice coffin to preserve the last trace of her Primordial Spirit."
Li Mu asked, "Is she the one the Demon King wants me to save?"
The White Demon King nodded and asked, "Brother Li, do you have a way?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "I'll give it a try."
At present, the Buddhist light triggered by the Heart Sutra had a miraculous effect on repairing damaged soul bodies and Primordial Spirits. However, Li Mu did not know if a person who had been unconscious for more than ten years could be awakened.
He placed one hand on the ice coffin, trying to let the golden light pass through the ice coffin.
However, the ice coffin seemed to have some kind of resistance to the golden light. Li Mu activated it with all his might, but he could not let the golden light pass through the ice coffin and touch her body.
Li Mu retracted his hand and asked, "Can this ice coffin be opened?"
The White Demon King shook his head and said, "This ice coffin is a magic treasure I accidentally obtained. The coffin's function is to protect the Primordial Spirit. Her Primordial Spirit is already extremely weak. If the coffin is opened, her Primordial Spirit will immediately dissipate. I once invited Dharma Manifestation and even Mahesvara Realm Buddhist monks. At that time, the coffin could be opened.
However, it can't be opened now … "Even Fifth Realm or Sixth Realm monks could not do anything. Li Mu sighed and said," Sorry, I can't do anything. "
The flame of hope in the White Demon King's eyes was extinguished. He clasped his fists at Li Mu and said, "Even so, I still have to thank you. Second Brother, send him back. I want to stay here alone for a while."
Li Mu and the Green Bull Demon walked out of the cave. The Green Bull Demon sighed and said, "Brother Li, I've troubled you for nothing."
"It's okay." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "Maybe the Demon King can find another way to awaken Madam in the future."
The Green Bull Demon shook his head and said, "In the past dozen years, Big Brother has tried countless methods. He invited many Daoist and Buddhist experts, but they were all helpless. He hoped countless times and was disappointed countless times. This ice coffin can at most protect sister-in-law's soul for five years. After five years, sigh …"
Li Mu sighed in his heart. This matter had fallen into a dead end.
Because of the ice coffin, Li Mu could not save Bai Yinxin's mother.
However, without the protection of the ice coffin, her Primordial Spirit would immediately dissipate.
If Li Mu could reach the Upper Three Realms in five years, there might be a sliver of hope. However, even if he had a Pure Yang Body and dual cultivated with Liu Hanyan every night, it was impossible for him to reach five realms in five years.
Furthermore, to use the Buddhist light to save someone required Buddhist mana. Li Mu's Buddhist mana was still in the first realm.
Returning to the Rat Demon's nest, Constable Zhao was still waiting there.
Bai Yinxin and her sister were still there.
The two sisters clearly did not know what had happened. The Rat Demon looked at the Green Bull Demon with an expectant gaze. The Green Bull Demon shook his head. The Rat Demon sighed and did not speak again.
Bai Yinxin walked over and asked Li Mu, "What did my father ask you to help with?"
Since the White Demon King did not tell them, Li Mu did not intend to pry. He said, "You can ask the White Demon King when you go back."
Bai Yinxin pouted and said, "He won't say even if I ask him. It's been like this for so many years. Right, is Sister Su well …"
Li Mu said, "She's fine."
Bai Yinxin suddenly pursed her lips and said, "You …"
Seeing her pursing her lips, Li Mu's heart trembled. She used to do this when she absorbed his mana.
Li Mu immediately said, "It's getting late. I have to go back. Constable Zhao, let's go …"
Seeing Li Mu slip away as if he was escaping, Bai Yinxin stomped her feet. A trace of annoyance appeared on her face.
The green snake walked over, looked at her and said, "You also don't like him, right? Why don't we chase after him and beat him up? If you're worried about being discovered, we can cover our faces …"
"Didn't you hear what father said just now?" Bai Yinxin grabbed her ear and said, "Go back and cultivate well. You're not allowed to come out until you reach the Core Condensation stage!"
…
When Li Mu and Constable Zhao returned to the Yang County Inn, it was already night time.
Although they didn't bring back the rat demon, they didn't work for nothing. At least the plague in Yang County had subsided, and no one had died. They could report back.
The White Demon King was powerful in the North County. He wasn't weaker than Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon. Moreover, he was different from Chu Jiang Of Gojoseon. He intimidated the demons in the North County. To a large extent, he had helped the government. Even the county government had to give him face.
After a busy day, Constable Zhao suggested that they rest in Yang County for a night and go back the next morning.
Although Li Mu wanted to go back, he could only follow the majority's decision.
After refining the first soul, Li Mu sat cross-legged on the bed and stabilized his cultivation. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Li Mu got off the bed and saw Constable Zhao and the Green Bull Demon standing outside.
The Green Bull Demon handed a wooden box to Li Mu and said, "This is the Demon King's gift to you."
If he could save the woman in the ice coffin, he would accept the gift. Since he didn't succeed, Li Mu was too embarrassed to accept the gift. He said, "I didn't help the Demon King much. I can't accept this gift."
The Green Bull Demon shoved the wooden box into his arms and said, "Take it. It's just a few dozen pieces of Spiritual Jade. The Demon King won't take back what he gave out. Also, the Demon King has a request. If you don't accept it, I'll be too embarrassed to ask."
Li Mu wanted to refuse, but when he heard that it was a few dozen pieces of Spiritual Jade, he swallowed back his words and asked, "What request?"
The Green Bull Demon looked at the figure behind him and said, "The Demon King has a headache over Tingxin's stubbornness. A few days ago, she absorbed people's Yang Qi and made a mistake. The Demon King wants her to follow you and do something for the people in the North County to make up for her mistake …"
Only then did Li Mu notice that behind the Green Bull Demon, the green snake was looking at him fiercely.
Li Mu decisively handed the wooden box back to the Green Bull Demon and said, "I can't accept this gift without doing anything. I really can't accept it!"
