After dinner, Li Mu returned to the county yamen and told Li Qing his idea.
Li Qing said in surprise, "You want to go to Zhou County?"
Li Mu nodded and said, "I've already condensed the three spirits and can deal with ordinary zombies. Even if I can't beat them, I can protect myself. I can take advantage of this opportunity to train myself."
Li Qing thought of Li Mu's thunder Taoist magic and the Buddha's light that could restrain evil beings. After pondering for a moment, she nodded and said, "That's good too. When the time comes, you can just stay by my side."
She looked at Li Mu and suddenly asked, "The book 'Strange Stories from a Strange Story' is very popular on the market. Did you write it?"
Li Mu said embarrassedly, "The salary is too little. It's all for living. I don't think I violated the yamen's rules, right?"
"No." Li Qing shook her head and said, "But there's something I hope you can tell me truthfully..."
Li Mu thought of Su He and Liu Hanyan's questions after reading 'Strange Stories from a Strange Story' and hurriedly explained, "Boss, please don't misunderstand. I'm not interested in those female ghosts, female demons, or female foxes. I just want to say that all things have spirits. Whether it's human or demon, they all have the right to pursue love..."
Li Qing shook her head and said, "That's not what I want to ask."
Li Mu was puzzled and asked, "Then what is it?"
Li Qing looked at him and asked, "Lady Liu, you also know the 'Qingxin Formula', right?"
"..."
If he had known that Li Qing and Liu Hanyan would meet one day and that she could tell at a glance whether Liu Hanyan knew the Qingxin Formula or not, Li Mu would not have lied at that time.
It was better to tell her at that time than to be directly exposed by her now.
Li Mu opened his mouth and finally nodded and said, "I know."
However, he immediately added, "But don't worry, Boss. She definitely won't tell anyone. I-I didn't mean to lie to you last time."
Li Qing didn't care. She shook her head and said: "This is yours. You can give it to whoever you want. You don't need to explain to me."
Li Mu heaved a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're not angry?"
Li Qing glanced at him. "Why should I be angry?"
Regarding this matter, Li Qing did not seem to blame him. After saying this, she went out to patrol.
Li Mu turned around and saw three heads sticking out of the window of Old Wang's duty room.
Old Wang looked at him and shook his head. "Tsk tsk …"
Li Si looked at him strangely, as if he was looking at an idiot.
Zhang Shan looked confused. Obviously, he didn't know what had happened.
Li Mu looked around and made sure that they were looking at him. He walked into Old Wang's duty room and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Li Si said lightly, "When a woman says she's angry, she usually isn't angry. And when a woman says she's not angry, she must be angry."
Old Wang clapped his hands and praised, "Brilliant!"
Li Mu looked at him and asked, "You're saying that Boss is angry?"
It was easy to tell if Liu Hanyan was angry. Her emotions were written on her face. When she was angry, it was like Li Mu owed her tens of thousands of taels of silver. Li Qing's emotions never showed. Li Mu found it difficult to judge her mood based on her expression and tone.
Li Si knew more about this than Li Mu. If he said that Li Qing was angry, she was probably really angry.
However, was she angry that Li Mu told Liu Hanyan the Qingxin Secret Art, or was she angry that he didn't tell her that he taught Liu Hanyan the Qingxin Secret Art?
He really couldn't understand a woman's thoughts.
Li Si patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's useless for me to tell you. You can slowly understand this kind of thing."
Zhang Shan didn't know what had happened, but he heard that Li Mu was going to Zhou County. He said, "I heard that you're going to Zhou County. How long have you been cultivating? Why are you showing off? Is that a place you can go?"
Li Mu said, "Don't worry. With Boss there, there won't be any danger."
Old Wang said leisurely, "There are unexpected changes in the sky, and people are unpredictable. Li Mu, don't let anything happen to you. I'm still waiting for you to send me off. Don't let me send you off …"
"Bah!" Zhang Shan spat fiercely and said, "Old man, can't you say something nice?"
After that, he realized something. He looked at Old Wang and said angrily, "We'll send you off? Damn Old Wang. I treat you as a friend, but you treat us as your sons? "
He pretended to strangle Old Wang's neck. Old Wang coughed twice and said, "Be careful. If you strangle me to death, you'll have to buy me a coffin with your hidden money …"
"In your dreams!" Zhang Shan let go of his hand and glanced at him. He said, "At most, I'll roll up two straw mats. I'll dig a hole for you in the mass grave and fill it with some soil …"
Old Wang shook his head in disappointment and said, "If you say so, all the money I've saved over the years will be given to Li Mu and Li Si …"
"You've saved money?" When Zhang Shan heard this, he immediately went up and said, "Do you like pine or fir wood for the coffin? Leave it to me. I promise that after you die, I'll arrange it properly for you …"
Old Wang thought for a moment and said, "Phoebe zhennan, if you really can't, sandalwood is also fine …"
Zhang Shan scolded angrily, "Bullsh * t, I can't afford that kind of wood even if I sell myself. You'd better dream. You have everything in your dreams …"
Li Mu walked out of Old Wang's room and saw Wu Bo carrying a huge snake corpse in from outside.
The little monk Huiyuan followed behind him and said angrily, "Constable Wu, this snake has already developed intelligence and is one step away from forming a fetus. It hasn't done anything to harm people. Why did you kill it for no reason?"
Wu Bo sneered and said: "How do you know that it hasn't harmed anyone? Snakes don't eat grass. This snake has grown to such a large size and who knows how many creatures have lost their lives in its mouth. Killing it is also an act of justice on behalf of the heavens."
The little monk said angrily, "You're twisting words and forcing logic!"
Wu Bo mocked, "Am I wrong?"
"Amitabha …" Huiyuan took a deep breath and said, "The heavens are watching what people do. Those who are unjust are doomed to destruction. Constable Wu, you're on your own …"
Zhang Shan looked over and whispered, "This guy surnamed Wu even dares to bully a monk. He'll suffer retribution sooner or later."
"There's no such thing as retribution in this world …" Old Wang sat in the room and shook his head. "Only good people have short lives and evil people live for a thousand years. Those who kill and burn, eat and drink well, and those who build bridges and pave roads, don't even have skeletons left …"
Zhang Shan shook his head and said, "Wu Bo ate so many snakes. Maybe one day he'll be eaten by a more powerful snake demon."
Old Wang opened a book and said with a smile, "Look at what's written in the book. There's no such thing as a demon eating a human. It's all about humans eating humans. If you don't want to be eaten, you can only eat others …"
…
Since the last meal, Li Mu hadn't seen Liu Hanyan for two days. Only Wanwan came twice.
However, she was usually busy. She had to arrange music and rehearse. It wasn't uncommon for her to rest in the shop for several days in a row. Li Mu was about to leave for Zhou County in a while, so he didn't have time to say goodbye to her.
He wrote a note and stuffed it through the crack in the door. When he returned home, he took the Teleport Talisman and Evil Punishment Talisman with him and packed some clothes. When he walked out of the door, the courtyard next door was still closed.
Li Mu shook his head and turned to leave.
Not long after, a bouncing figure ran from afar. Wanwan came to Li Mu's door with two pig trotters in her hand. She was about to knock on the door when she saw that it was locked. She turned around and said, "Miss, the young master isn't here …"
"If he's not here, then he's not here. As if I want to see him …"
Liu Hanyan pursed her lips and opened the courtyard door. Just as she was about to step in, her eyes inadvertently glanced. She suddenly bent down and picked up a piece of paper from the ground.
There were only two short lines on the paper.
"I'm going to Zhou County. You and Wanwan should be careful at home. Close the doors and windows at night. Remember to bring Fu-lu with you."
Liu Hanyan's expression changed. She asked, "Aren't there a lot of zombies in Zhou County? Why is he going there?"
Wanwan raised her head and said, "Yesterday, the young master said that there's something in the zombies' bodies that can help us cultivate …"
"Who wants his help …"
Liu Hanyan's face turned pale. She clenched the paper tightly and gritted her teeth. "That idiot!"
