At the Bay of Clearwater, in a small house by the water covered by illusion.
Su He glanced at Li Mu and said slowly, "You said you would come to see me when you have time. You haven't come for so long. I thought you had forgotten me …"
Li Mu said with some embarrassment, "A few days ago, there was a murder case in the county government. I was slightly injured when I was investigating the case. I just barely recovered now."
Su He's eyes were no longer bitter. She asked doubtfully, "Although your cultivation is not high, you know Taoist magic arts. The Buddha's light is also specialized in restraining demons and ghosts. What could hurt you?"
"It was a jumping zombie." Li Mu explained, "I haven't fully mastered the Thunder Method. It's not easy to use it in front of outsiders."
He didn't continue the topic. He put the food box on the table and said, "Before I came, I made a few dishes. Have a taste."
Su He suddenly became interested. She floated to the table and said, "I haven't tasted food for 20 years. You are so considerate …"
Li Mu just felt that it was not good to come empty-handed. But he was poor and had nothing to give her. The only thing he could give was his cooking skills.
Although Su He had the body of evil ghost, her cultivation had reached the Middle Three Realms. It was just a matter of a thought for her to condense a body. Even if the condensed body was fundamentally different from a living person's body, most of its functions were the same.
Li Mu sat at the table and asked, "How does it taste?"
Su He's eyes flashed and said, "Even if you say you are not a constable, but a chef in a restaurant, I will believe you."
Li Mu smiled and said, "If it suits your taste, I will bring more next time."
Su He reached out her hand and said, "It's a deal."
Li Mu reached out his hand and clapped with her hand. He said, "It's a deal."
Su He ate slowly. Li Mu thought of the purpose of his visit and said, "I've found the person you asked me to inquire about last time."
Su He paused in the middle of picking up the food and asked faintly, "Is he still in Yangqiu County?"
"No." Li Mu shook his head and said, "He was only the county magistrate of Yangqiu County for half a year before he was transferred to another county. I heard that he was promoted and even married the county magistrate's daughter …"
Su He pursed her lips. "Heh, men …"
Li Mu asked, "Does Miss Su have a grudge against Cui Ming?"
Su He's eyes turned fierce. She gritted her teeth and said, "Life and death grudge."
She did not explain in detail and Li Mu did not ask. He only remembered the name Cui Ming. Su He had saved his life. If he had the chance to meet her enemy in the future, he would figure out the whole story and think of a way to avenge her.
Su He's expression quickly returned to normal. She glanced at Li Mu and said, "You are different from those men. In the future, you don't have to call me Miss Su. I am a few years older than you. It's not too much for you to call me sister, right?"
Li Mu thought to himself that she was more than a few years older than him. Even if she was in her teens when she died, 20 years had passed and she was now in her thirties. There was a difference in seniority between the two of them …
Seeing that Li Mu did not speak, Su He looked at him. "Why, are you unwilling?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and asked, "How old were you when you died?"
Su He was startled at first, then she said angrily, "I will always be eighteen!"
Demonic ghosts were different from humans. It seemed that age could not be calculated according to human standards. Li Mu hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant …"
"Then what did you mean!"
"What I meant was … Sister, are you full? If not, I'll go catch a fish from the lake and roast it for you …"
…
Just catching a fish and roasting it was tasteless. Fortunately, Li Mu had thought it through. He had considered Su He's taste and prepared some seasonings at the bottom of the food box before he came. Although there was not much variety, it was enough to roast the fish.
Su He finished the food Li Mu brought and ate two more roasted fish. Only then did a satisfied expression appear on her face.
Li Mu went to a faraway place and began practicing the Thunder Technique.
Su He knew him inside out. When it came to practicing Dao techniques, Li Mu had no need to avoid her.
Moreover, this place was far away from the county. Practicing here would not attract the attention of others. Li Mu could practice without worry.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, but it did not hit the ground. Instead, it flew towards Su He.
Li Mu was shocked. When he saw Su He wave her sleeves, he realized that she had taken the initiative to attract the lightning.
When the lightning entered Su He's body, her body only trembled. Then she looked at Li Mu and said, "This is indeed not an ordinary lightning. The Dao technique you used is also not an ordinary Dao technique. The scripture you used to save Lin Wan was also a little different. Three years ago, there was a monk who wanted to save me. Their Buddha's light was not as powerful as yours …"
Li Mu sighed in his heart. His strongest attack could not hurt Su He at all. The difference in strength between the Middle Realm and the Lower Realm was too great.
"This Thunder Technique is not ordinary. Wait until you reach the Soul Condensation Realm before you use it. Even I would not dare to take it head on." Su He flew over and said, "Wait until you are proficient in this Thunder Technique. Below the Middle Realm, there will be few who can match you. Try to continue attacking me …"
With Su He as his sparring partner, occasionally giving Li Mu some pointers, he became more and more proficient in the use of the "Confrontation" Formula. In the beginning, he missed every time, but in the end, he could already predict and interrupt her attack route.
Although he still could not accurately hit her, as long as Li Mu practiced diligently, it was only a matter of time.
A moment later, Li Mu's Fa Li was exhausted and he sat on the grass to rest. Su He lazily laid down beside him and began to flip through the novels that Li Mu brought her.
The first few books, after flipping through a few pages, she threw them aside. Those scholars, after twenty years, their routines had not changed at all. Mediocre youngsters who had a fortuitous encounter, slaying demons and eliminating evil for the people. Finally, they became famous all over the world, surrounded by beauties, and walked to the peak of life. She was already tired of reading these stories twenty years ago.
Only this book called "Strange Stories from a Strange Story". Every story was short, but it was thought-provoking. In the story, whether it was humans, demons, or ghosts, they were all made of flesh and blood. Unknowingly, she was fascinated by it.
In those novels on the market, demons and ghosts were almost all evil. They sucked people's blood essence, stole people's souls, and brought disaster to the world. The protagonists in the stories often took it as their duty to slay demons and devils. But in this "Strange Stories from a Strange Story", demons and ghosts were no longer evil. They also had human emotions. They were affectionate and righteous, true to their nature …
The author of a book would often express their thoughts and views in the book. From this, it could be seen that this person called "Pu Songling" had a fair heart towards demons and ghosts.
Su He looked at Li Mu and asked, "Is there more at the back?"
Li Mu turned his head and said, "Only one volume has been published so far. I don't know when the second volume will be published. Next time, I'll give you the manuscript at the back."
Su He was slightly stunned. She looked at him and asked, "You wrote this?"
Li Mu said sorry to Pu Songling in his heart. There was no "Mr. Strange Stories from a Strange Story" in this world. In the eyes of Liu Hanyan and Wanwan, Li Mu was Pu Songling. There was no need for him to deny it in front of Su He. Otherwise, when she found out in the future, she might blame him for hiding it.
He said casually, "The salary of a bailiff is not high. In my free time, I write novels to earn some royalties to support my family."
It was not that Su He did not believe in Li Mu. She was just surprised that he, as a bailiff, could write such a delicate and touching story.
After accepting this fact, she closed the "Strange Stories from a Strange Story" in her hand and said, "These stories are beautiful, but in reality, there are not so many infatuated men …"
Li Mu knew that she was prejudiced against men. This kind of view could not be changed in a short time. He could only say, "In this world, there are not many infatuated men, but not all of them are heartless people."
Su He said, "Only someone with a pure heart like you can write such a story."
Li Mu said, "Demons and ghosts are not all evil things that bring disaster to the world. I just wrote what I thought in my heart."
"What is written in the book is what you think in your heart?"
"Of course."
Su He nodded and said, "I have one more question."
Li Mu asked, "What question?"
"Why do the humans in the book always have sex with female ghosts?" Su He looked into his eyes and asked, "Is this also what you think in your heart?"
