As soon as Li Mu opened his eyes, he was dazzled by the strong light and could not look straight at it.
He was shocked and thought that the two female ghosts had done something when he was not paying attention. He was about to form a seal to defend himself when he looked down and realized that he was the one who was glowing.
"What's going on?"
Li Mu stood up in shock. The golden light on his body was even brighter as if he was in a ball of light. His eyes could not see anything and there was a warm feeling in his body.
Su He looked at him from afar and said in shock, "You still say that you don't know Buddhism!"
Only now did she realize that she had underestimated the young man in front of her from the beginning.
Not only was his will very firm, he was not tempted by lust and he also had the great power of Buddhism. The spiritual body was of the Yin attribute and was naturally restrained by the Buddhist light. The golden light on Li Mu's body contained a power that even she was afraid of.
This meant that the Buddhist sutra that he was reciting was not an ordinary Buddhist sutra.
Her eyes flashed as if she wanted to see through Li Mu but she could only see a blur.
When he opened his eyes and saw the golden light, Li Mu felt that he was going to go blind. He quickly closed his eyes and asked, "How do I control this light?"
Su He was stunned and asked in disbelief, "You don't know?"
Li Mu said helplessly, "I just said that I'm just trying …"
"…"
After a moment of silence, Su He said, "Disperse the Buddhist mana in your body."
Li Mu decisively dispersed the mana from the Buddhist prayer beads. The golden light on his body gradually disappeared and he could see again.
He did not expect that a Buddhist sutra from another world could replace the sutra here. Li Mu felt that his path was broadened again.
The power of the Heart Sutra was greater than he imagined. If he had the Buddhist mana, wouldn't he be a walking light source? Wherever he went, ghosts would bow down and demons would retreat …
Su He looked at him with an extremely puzzled expression and asked, "How do you know the Buddhist sutra?"
"This is not important." Li Mu looked at Lin Wan, whose body was becoming more and more illusory, and asked, "How can I save Miss Lin?"
Su He withdrew her doubts and said, "Buddhism cultivates the heart. The Buddha's light can drive away ghosts and also help them. As long as you don't have any killing intent in your heart, you won't hurt her. Try again. Slowly wrap her spiritual body with the Buddha's light …"
Li Mu once again channeled mana from the Buddhist beads and chanted the Heart Sutra in a low voice. Soon, his body once again emitted the Buddhist light.
He tried to control them. With a thought, a ray of light separated from his body and slowly enveloped Lin Wan's spirit body. When Li Mu used all of the Buddha's light to completely envelop Lin Wan, her body suddenly seemed to be hollowed out and softly fell to the ground.
Although the Buddha's light was guided by the mana in the prayer beads, what was consumed afterwards was Li Mu's own mana. His mana was not much to begin with, and he had already wasted it once. After using it again on Lin Wan, it was completely exhausted.
He did not fall to the ground. Instead, he fell into a soft and fragrant embrace.
Su He supported him and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after some rest." After all, this was the first time he had such close contact with a female ghost. Li Mu wanted to stand up, but his legs did not have the slightest bit of strength.
"It's okay." Su He smiled and said, "I'm no longer human. There's no distinction between men and women."
"Thank you, benefactor!" Lin Wan's body had completely solidified. She knelt in front of Li Mu and said gratefully, "Benefactor, Lin Wan is unable to repay you for saving my life …"
"No need to thank me." Li Mu waved his hand and said, "It's the yamen's dereliction of duty to let Miss Lin be wronged. It's our dereliction of duty."
At the same time, he sighed to himself. As expected, the deeper one's cultivation, the stronger the seven emotions. The joy of gratitude produced by the vengeful spirit Lin Wan was more than ten times that of the Zhang-wang Clan's …
Su He was already able to solidify her body, so she was at least on the third realm. The power of her seven emotions was even stronger, but it was a pity that for existences with such deep cultivation, their seven emotions would normally not appear on the outside. With Li Mu's insignificant cultivation, he couldn't guide them at all.
Vengeful spirits like Lin Wan should be Li Mu's limit.
Su He looked at Lin Wan and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
Lin Wan lowered her head and said, "I want to head to Youdu."
Li Mu already knew that the world he was in had ten continents and three islands. It was the place where humans, demons, ghosts, and spirits lived together. Meanwhile, Youdu's ghost region was completely the domain of ghosts. Other than ghosts and spirit bodies, only great divine arts practitioners could enter. That place was shrouded by ghost fog all year round, and there was only night and no day. It was the most suitable place for spirit bodies to live and cultivate.
Su He looked at her. "You're not going to take revenge?"
Lin Wan shook her head and said, "Zhao Family already has a relationship with County Premier, so no one can touch them in North County. Benefactor saved my life, so I can't harm benefactor."
Li Mu's gaze was resolute. "I'm definitely going to take care of this matter."
If Lin Wan gave up on revenge, she could still head to Youdu and live in another form.
Li Mu couldn't condense the seven spirits, so death was the only path for him. He wouldn't even have the chance to become a ghost with her.
He couldn't guard the street every day to help the old granny cross the road, and he also couldn't guard Zhang Shan and scrape him alone. The seven emotions of vengeful spirits were extremely powerful, so when he helped Lin Wan redress her grievances, he might be able to use her to condense the first spirit.
This chance was hard to come by, so he couldn't give it up no matter what.
Lin Wan didn't want to drag him down, so she said resolutely, "I'm not going to take revenge."
Li Mu had a solemn expression, and he said, "A debt must be paid, and a life must be paid for a life. Even if you don't want to take revenge, I'm definitely going to make Zhao Yong submit to justice."
Lin Wan was slightly anxious. "Benefactor, why are you …"
"Because I'm a bailiff." Li Mu looked at the two girls and said righteously, "I have to be worthy of the clothes I'm wearing. You don't have to say anymore, I'm definitely going to capture Zhao Yong, and even County Premier won't be able to hold him back!"
"Benefactor …"
Lin Wan knelt on the ground in silence. Only two streams of tears flowed down her face and vanished into heaven and earth.
Li Mu's body trembled. Lin Wan had poured out too much gratitude in an instant, and his body couldn't take it anymore …
Su He had been completely convinced by Li Mu. She looked at him with reverence and said emotionally, "If all the officials in the world could be like you, how many wronged souls would there be in this world?"
Li Mu's old face was slightly hot, because he was far from being as righteous as he looked. The reason why he wanted to take revenge for Lin Wan was both for public and personal reasons. He wanted to give justice to Lin Wan, and also for his own life.
Su He supported Li Mu and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Li Mu said, "We have to let go of Zhao Yong's second soul first. Otherwise, it's likely to alarm the higher-ups, and they'll send more powerful cultivators to handle this case. At that time, even if we're in the right, we won't be able to explain ourselves. As for Miss Lin, don't show yourself first. Stay with Miss Su for the time being, and when the time comes, you might have to show up personally …"
Su He nodded and said, "I'll follow your arrangements."
Lin Wan also raised her head and said firmly, "I'll listen to you, benefactor."
At this time, Su He thought of another thing. She looked at Li Mu and asked, "Don't you know how to use the Art of Silence?"
Li Mu shook his head.
In order to prevent Taoist magic arts or scriptures from leaking out, the Art of Silence was almost compulsory for both Buddhism and Taoism. However, Li Qing didn't teach him, and Li Mu didn't know where to learn it.
Su He thought for a while and said, "If you need, I can teach you …"
Although Li Mu had a lot of trump cards, he didn't know how to use the Art of Silence. He was most worried that his moves would be learned by others. Hearing this, he was happy and quickly said, "Thank you, Miss …"
