"Don't mention it …"
Li Mu placed the girl on the bed and said, "It's all because I didn't investigate properly and almost killed her."
Su He walked over and glanced at the girl, saying, "She's heavily injured."
Li Mu held the girl's hand and silently chanted the Heart Sutra, transferring the Buddha's light into her body. The Buddha's light from the Heart Sutra was different from other sutras, it had a miraculous effect on healing injuries.
As the Buddha's light poured into her body, the girl's brows gradually relaxed. After her eyelashes trembled, she slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Li Mu and was shocked. She curled up her body and retreated to the corner. She covered her chest with her hands and looked at him in horror, "What are you doing!"
Li Mu retreated and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not Xu Xian, I'm not interested in snakes."
The girl still did not let down her guard. She clenched her teeth and said, "You humans are all liars!"
Li Mu sighed. This time, he had indeed embarrassed the humans.
The black-robed man's matter was because he was too cautious and worried about accidentally killing people. He was almost invaded by his inner demon and fell into a trap.
This time, the snake demon was not cautious enough and almost killed a good demon by mistake. He even made her misunderstand the entire human race because of him …
Li Mu stood by the bed and looked at her, explaining, "The dwarf wanted to kill me and was killed by me. The lizard spirit wanted to avenge the dwarf and also died by my hands. I thought you were an evil demon like the lizard spirit, so I tricked you into provoking that person. This was all a misunderstanding."
The trust between the two had already collapsed. The girl was still wary of Li Mu, "I don't believe you!"
Li Mu formed a seal with one hand and pointed to the sky, saying, "I can swear a Dao oath. If what I said just now was false, let me become a dog!"
The girl stared at him in a daze, the wariness in her eyes dissipating a little.
Although she was a demon, she also knew that human cultivators did not dare to violate a Dao oath. Moreover, he had made such a heavy oath, he should not be lying to her.
Li Mu saw that she believed him, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Give me your hand, I'll help you heal first."
The girl thought for a moment and recalled the feeling just now. She tentatively stretched out her hand. Li Mu held her hand again. Her hand was very cold. Li Mu once again drew out the Buddhist light and continued to send it into her body.
A satisfied expression appeared on the girl's face, and she found that her injuries were slowly recovering.
A moment later, Li Mu released his hand and said, "Now you should believe that I'm not trying to harm you, right?"
"If you want me to believe …" The girl rolled her eyes and said, "You have to continue healing me."
Li Mu didn't have much Buddhist magic left. He had already used up more than half of it, and was a bit tired. However, since the young woman had spoken, he reached out again.
After all, he was the one who caused all this trouble and almost caused her to lose her life. Li Mu owed her too much. Even if he had to squeeze out the last of his spiritual energy, he had to satisfy her.
"So comfortable."
"So warm …"
"Continue, don't stop …"
A moment later, the girl bathed in the Buddhist light and fell into a sweet sleep.
Li Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he stood up, his legs gave way and he almost fell.
Su He caught him in time and said, "You're just too kind."
"I have to take responsibility for the trouble I caused." Li Mu sighed and looked at Su He. He asked, "Is it convenient for her to heal here?"
Su He waved her hand. "What's inconvenient about it? I've been alone for too long, and I'm looking for a companion."
Li Mu asked again, "No one will find her with the Demon Seeking Talisman, right?"
Su He said, "Don't worry, this illusion has the effect of concealing one's aura. Even if there's something on her body, they won't be able to find here."
With Su He around, Li Mu was completely relieved.
It was already late. He bid farewell to Su He and used the Spirit Traveling Talisman to return home before it was dark.
The events of the past two days gave Li Mu a lot of warnings.
If power was not restrained, it would be equivalent to a scourge.
As an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he could indirectly control the life and death of others. He had to be cautious at all times and maintain reverence for all life. Doing this was not only to protect the law, but also to protect Li Mu's heart.
Ren Yuan's example was in front of him. When a cultivator no longer feared life, it was very easy for them to walk the same path as him.
No matter if it was a human life or a demon life.
The next morning, when Li Mu woke up, he unexpectedly discovered that the mana in his body had increased slightly. It was almost equivalent to a month of his hard work.
In the morning, he routinely patrolled the streets before returning to the county office.
As soon as Li Mu entered the front office, he saw Wu Bo standing in the front office's courtyard like a mountain of flesh. Below his feet was a pile of colorful snake corpses.
In a corner further away, there was a dead giant python.
Han Zhe was right. This guy was indeed vengeful. Obviously, he did not find the snake demon, so he caught some ordinary snakes to vent his anger.
He picked up a snake, took out its gallbladder and threw it into his mouth. He cursed, "Damn it, that snake demon was heavily injured by me. It couldn't have escaped. Did someone take advantage of me?"
Li Mu silently returned to the duty room. There was no one there. He strolled around and came to Lao Wang's place.
Lao Wang's erudition told Li Mu that there was no harm in reading more. There was a large collection of books in his duty room. Although most of them were useless, Li Mu could occasionally find something good.
Cultivation methods were as vast as the sea. No one knew everything. Cultivation methods existed between heaven and earth. Today's cultivators were just following the path of their predecessors. The more they knew, the more they knew their own ignorance.
Li Mu read at Lao Wang's place until he went to the county office. He cooked a table of food and left a portion for Wanwan to eat. He put the rest in a food box and left the city for the Gulf of Clearwater.
With the Spirit Travel Talisman, it was much more convenient for him to travel between the county and the Gulf of Clearwater.
The snake demon girl had already let down her guard against Li Mu. Yesterday, Li Mu overdrew his mana to heal her. Today, she was able to get out of bed. She used her hands to grab the food in the food box and raised her head to stuff it into her mouth.
Li Mu looked at her and asked, "How is the taste? If it's not to your taste, do you want me to catch some toads, frogs, mice, and the like …"
"Bah!" The snake demon girl glared at him fiercely and said, "You're the one who eats those disgusting things!"
Li Mu took out the dish she grabbed with her hands and put the other dishes on the table. The girl finished her own dish in a short time. She climbed to the side of the low table and reached out to grab the other dishes.
Li Mu patted the back of her hand and handed her a pair of chopsticks.
She used one hand to grab the chopsticks, but didn't know how to use them. She copied Li Mu and Su He, but still didn't take a bite. She angrily threw the chopsticks to the side and said angrily, "Humans are so troublesome!"
Li Mu put a portion of the food into her bowl and let her use her hands to grab it. Then he said, "Hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, I'll treat your injuries. After you're healed, you can leave here …"
Her injuries were caused by Li Mu. Li Mu had the obligation and responsibility to treat her injuries. After her injuries were healed, Li Mu would go his way and she would cross her single-plank bridge. One human and one demon would no longer be involved.
The girl snorted and said, "I'm not leaving here. It wasn't easy for me to escape from home …"
Li Mu was stunned and asked, "Didn't you say you came out to clean up the door?"
The girl glanced at him and snorted, "Can't I clean up the door while I'm at it?"
Li Mu shrugged and said, "When the time comes, you can go wherever you want to go. It has nothing to do with me."
The girl put down the bowl and licked her fingers. She looked at Li Mu and said, "I'm not full yet. I want more."
Li Mu silently went to the river and caught two fish. He roasted them on the shore.
Su He stood behind him and said with a sour tone, "I don't see you running to Clearwater Bay so diligently. You men really forget the old when there's a new person …"
"Isn't this what I owe her …" Li Mu said helplessly, "What new person or old person, she's just an outsider … Outside demon. After her injuries are healed, we'll immediately drive her away."
The snake demon girl poked her head out of the window and snorted, "I heard it all!"
Su He waved her hand and the window closed from the outside. The girl seemed to have hit her head. "Ouch!" She didn't move anymore.
Su He looked at Li Mu again and said with satisfaction, "She's an outsider. Then I'm an insider?"
To be precise, she was an insider. However, this word didn't sound very nice. Li Mu didn't continue Su He's words. A female ghost who had been single for twenty years would tease people one after another. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to resist.
Li Mu said sincerely, "We're friends who have been through life and death. How can that little snake compare to us?"
The window of the small house opened from the inside. The snake demon girl said unconvinced, "Who are you calling small? When I turn into my original form, I'm bigger than you!"
