Li Mu was taken aback when he saw the wraith again.
Following that, he thought of something and immediately said, "Miss Su, catch it. Don't let it escape!"
The moment the wraith recognized Li Mu, it recalled the lightning bolt that alarmed him. Without any time to think, it immediately transformed into a mist and fled into the distance.
But this time, it did not escape.
Su He's figure vanished from where she stood and instantly appeared in front of the mist. She reached into the mist and quickly grabbed a ghostly figure. It was a young man. His face was filled with horror. The way he looked at Su He was a hundred times more horrified than when he looked at Li Mu.
The only thing he feared about the young man was the lightning bolt, but the white-clothed woman in front of him made him feel fear from the depths of his soul.
Su He glanced at the wraith and looked at Li Mu again. She asked, "Do you know each other?"
"Yes." Li Mu walked over with a smile and said, "I have a few important questions to ask him."
The wraith trembled and said with a trembling voice, "I was the one who offended you in the past. You are a magnanimous person. Please forgive me and treat me like a fart …"
Li Mu first guided the fear out of him before asking, "Back then, how did you know that I didn't have seven physical souls?"
Li Mu had never figured it out. The seven physical souls were different from the three spiritual souls. The soul belonged to the body and without cultivating to the middle three realms, it was impossible to see through the physical souls. Even Su He could not tell. Li Qing needed to make a judgment based on Li Mu's numerous symptoms. How could a puny wraith have such ability?
"I'll talk, I'll talk …" The evil spirit quickly said, "This little ghost was originally just a Yin spirit, living in a cave under the bridge. One day, two wraiths were fighting on the bridge. I don't know what happened, but they both perished. This little ghost absorbed their remnant souls and increased my cultivation. I also gained some memories. In the memories of one of the wraiths, there was a divine ability called Heaven's Eye. After this little ghost learned it, he could see through a person's three spiritual and seven physical souls …"
Li Mu looked at it and asked, "Do you think I'm gullible? How can there be such a divine ability? Do you believe that I'll strike you with lightning!"
"There really is!" The wraith panicked. "If you don't believe me, I'll tell you. You'll know when you try it!"
In fact, it was not that Li Mu did not believe it. The earliest divine abilities and spells were also created by the seniors of Dao. Even now, there were often amazing people who created their own divine abilities and even Dao techniques. Li Mu wanted to get this divine ability from the wraith's mouth for free.
After being frightened by Li Mu, the wraith spilled the beans from a bamboo tube and told him everything it knew.
Li Mu was initially worried that his mana was not enough. After trying it, he discovered that this divine ability called "Heaven's Eye" did not have a high requirement for mana. It was just a magical use of mana. With a short incantation, it could be used.
After using Heaven's Eye, the world changed in Li Mu's eyes. The wraith's body was surrounded by Yin Qi. It was obvious that it was a wraith. Li Mu looked at Su He and found that she was still the same as before. There was no change in her body.
Thinking about it, it was probably because his cultivation was too low that he could not see through the existence of a person whose cultivation was much higher than his.
Su He looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with your seven souls?"
At the mention of this, Li Mu was a little troubled. He said, "It should have been taken away by some evil thing. I'm thinking of a way to reform it."
"I remember that the books mentioned that it's much harder to reform the seven souls than to refine them. If you don't succeed, you'll really die and your soul will scatter …" Su He looked at him and suddenly said, "Why don't you become a ghost cultivator? With my help, I guarantee that you'll enter the middle realm in twenty to thirty years …"
Li Mu shook his head firmly. "I'm not married yet …"
"What's wrong with that?" Su He smiled and said, "Even if you become a ghost cultivator, you can find a female ghost and cultivate your soul. After you enter the middle realm, you'll be able to reform your body at any time and you'll be no different from a living person …"
If possible, Li Mu still wanted to consider a human woman as his wife. Even if a ghost cultivator could reform his body, he was still a ghost. He was not Ning Caichen and could not accept a life and death friendship.
Before Li Mu answered, the wraith asked tentatively, "Can I go now?"
"Who said you can go?" Li Mu glanced at it and looked at Su He. He said, "This ghost tried to kill me twice before. Today, it fell into my hands. Instead of using thunder to strike it and enforce justice on behalf of heaven, it's better to let Miss Su swallow its soul to improve your cultivation …"
"No, no, no …" The wraith was so scared that its body became a little illusory. It begged for mercy. "Miss, please spare me. We're all ghosts. Why should ghosts make things difficult for ghosts …"
Li Mu took the opportunity to harvest its fear. This level of wraith had a huge amount of emotional power. It was much more efficient than Li Mu absorbing it from ordinary people.
It was a pity that although this ghost's cultivation was much deeper than Lin Wan's, its emotions were far inferior. The main reason was that Lin Wan's death was caused by Zhao Yong. Her obsession and resentment were all related to Zhao Yong. Therefore, when Li Mu killed Zhao Yong, she burst out with a huge amount of gratitude.
As for this evil spirit, it was nothing more than a coward who was afraid of death. It was worried that Su He would swallow its soul, so the fear it generated was not strong.
"Amitabha …"
As Li Mu continued to harvest the wraith's fear, he suddenly heard a familiar Buddhist chant. Li Mu turned around and saw a monk holding an alms bowl in one hand and a staff in the other. He slowly walked over.
It was Xuandu.
Xuandu slowly walked closer. He looked at the wraith and said, "This poor monk hasn't succeeded in converting you and you're in a hurry to leave. This poor monk had to look for you …"
When the wraith saw Xuandu, it was stunned for a moment before it immediately shouted.
"Monk, take me in. I won't run anymore!"
"Let me listen to you chanting scriptures. I like listening to you chanting scriptures!"
"Amitabha, good, good. If I hear it … Look, I can even recite it!"
"Quickly convert me, quickly convert me!"
…
Xuandu walked in front of Li Mu and asked with a smile, "Young benefactor, can this wraith be converted by this poor monk? Last time, this poor monk accidentally let it escape. This time, this poor monk will watch over it carefully …"
Xuandu had saved his life. Since he asked, Li Mu nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Xuandu glanced at the wraith and said, "Evil creature, why aren't you coming in yet?"
The wraith was ecstatic. It turned into a black fog and entered the alms bowl in his hand.
Xuandu looked at Li Mu with a surprised gaze and said, "A few days ago, when this poor monk met you, you lost your seven souls. I didn't expect you to condense the Corpsedog in just a few days. It seems that you must be helping those in need and doing good deeds. Good, good …"
Xuandu's eyesight amazed Li Mu. Li Qing was right. He was at least a Buddhist cultivator of the third realm.
Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm a bailiff. It's my duty to punish the strong and uphold justice."
Xuandu smiled kindly and looked at Su He.
Li Mu was worried that he would become addicted to exorcising the wraith. With her stubborn personality, the two of them would definitely fight. He hurriedly explained, "This is Miss Su. Although she has a Yin Spirit Body, she has never harmed anyone …"
"Amitabha." Xuandu chanted the name of Buddha and said, "Miss's mana is not inferior to this poor monk's. I hope you can keep your original heart and do good. Don't harm the world …"
Su He was still disgusted with other men. She snorted and said, "Monk, mind your own business."
Xuandu was not angry. He looked at Li Mu again. After looking him up and down several times, he said curiously, "We haven't seen each other for a few days. Why is the Buddhist aura on your body so strong …"
Li Mu explained, "Maybe, it's because of the Buddhist beads that you gave me …"
Speaking of the Buddhist beads, Li Mu felt a little distressed. In the process of the stalemate with the lizard spirit, the medium for him to use the Buddhist magic had been destroyed.
"No." Xuandu shook his head and said, "The Buddhist beads are just external objects. I think you are fated with Buddha and are born with wisdom. I wonder if you are willing to become a monk and convert to Buddhism …"
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "No, no …"
Xuandu did not insist. He just took out a yellowed book from his arms and handed it to Li Mu. He said, "This scripture is for you. If you change your mind in the future, you can come to the Jinshan Temple to find me …"
It was impossible to change his mind. Li Mu was very satisfied with the quality of his hair. When he was about to refuse, he saw Su He give him a look.
Li Mu immediately understood. He took the scripture and said, "Thank you, Master."
"Reciting this scripture often can help you understand reason and wisdom, eliminate karma, and purify the six senses …" Xuandu nodded slightly and said, "Come, please follow me and recite 'This is what I heard' …"
"This is what I heard …"
Li Mu recited after Xuandu. Suddenly, there was a flash of golden light on his body. However, this golden light was like a firefly compared to the sun when he was reciting the Heart Sutra. Li Mu did not take it seriously at all.
However, Xuan Du was shocked and muttered, "Little benefactor, you have a great destiny with Buddha. Are you really not willing to convert to Buddha?"
Li Mu said without hesitation, "No."
Xuandu looked regretful, but he still said, "Since you are not willing, I will not force you. If you change your mind in the future, I will wait for you at the Jinshan Temple …"
