Without the Zombie King in the underground cave, the pressure on Li Mu and the other two was greatly reduced.
Li Qing and Huiyuan dealt with the remaining few jumping zombies with all their strength, while Li Mu used the Buddha's light to protect his body while cleaning up the surrounding living corpses.
The remaining few jumping zombies in the cave, as well as the living corpses that didn't have much fighting strength, were quickly eliminated by them.
Unfortunately, the Courage of these zombies was absorbed by the Zombie King and used to evolve into Flying Stiff. Li Mu didn't get any benefits at all.
After dealing with these troubles, the underground cave that was abnormally noisy suddenly became quiet.
"Amitabha … …"
Huiyuan walked to Senior Brother Qin's corpse, sighed and said: "On the path of cultivation, Benefactor Qin couldn't resist the temptation … …"
Li Mu also didn't expect Senior Brother Qin's change.
Although he didn't know him for long, Li Mu's impression of him was very good.
His temperament was indifferent, and he was amiable to everyone. He was offended by Wu Bo several times, but he didn't get angry. Li Mu didn't expect that he actually colluded with this Zombie King that gave birth to intelligence, and secretly harmed the cultivators who came here to remove corpses.
A dignified disciple of Fu-lu School was actually reduced to Heretical Cultivation, it made people sigh and feel pity.
The cruelty of the cultivation world was once again vividly displayed in front of Li Mu's eyes.
Li Qing cultivated bitterly for several years to reach the Spirit Realm. Ren Yuan could shorten this time to half a month or even ten days by taking people's souls for cultivation. This kind of temptation wasn't something that everyone could withstand.
Li Mu felt more and more that Old Wang was right. The essence of cultivation was the law of the jungle. Li Mu himself didn't have to harm others, but he couldn't guarantee that others wouldn't harm him.
Senior Brother Qin had given him a great warning. When encountering cultivators, even if the other party had no ill intentions, he still had to be careful and vigilant. He could not easily trust others.
While Li Mu was lost in thought, there was a sudden movement in one of the passages. Li Mu's expression changed slightly, and the golden light on his body became even brighter. In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared at the entrance of the passage.
Xuandu's bald head was particularly conspicuous under the illumination of the Buddha's light. He glanced around the cave, and when he saw Li Mu, he was stunned at first, and then his face showed great joy. He murmured, "Benefactor Li's root of wisdom is so deep. I was wrong last time …"
Seeing Xuandu, Li Mu quickly retracted his Buddha's aura to avoid being discovered.
Huiyuan said in surprise, "Martial Uncle Xuandu, you're here too …"
"It's Martial Nephew Huiyuan …" Xuandu touched Huiyuan's bald head and said, "Yesterday, I happened to pass by here and found the corpse aura rising to the sky, so I came down to take a look. I didn't expect to get lost in this cave, and found my way here by following the Buddha's aura …"
"We're also here to remove the corpse." Huiyuan smiled, and then thought of something, and said nervously, "Martial Uncle, there's a zombie here. It has evolved into a Flying Stiff and escaped. We have to get rid of it quickly, or more innocent people will suffer …"
Xuandu looked around and said, "Let's go out first."
Before leaving, Li Qing threw out a few Fu-lu cards and burned the zombie in the cave, as well as Senior Brother Qin's corpse, to ashes.
The corpse poison of a Flying Stiff was even more potent than that of a Jumping Stiff. He died at the hands of a Flying Stiff. Only by burning him on the spot would he not turn into a zombie and cause trouble.
After doing all this, the four of them walked out of the cave through the tunnel they came from.
Xuandu nagged at Li Mu along the way.
"Benefactor Li, with your wisdom, it's a pity that you don't cultivate Buddhism. Are you really not going to reconsider?"
"Sorry, I'm not reconsidering."
"If you have any conditions, you can tell me. We can negotiate."
"Can I not shave my head?"
"Yes."
"Can I not live in a temple?"
"Of course you can."
"Can I marry a wife?"
"This … I really can't."
"Then there's nothing to discuss …"
… …
No matter how eloquent Xuandu was, he still couldn't convince Li Mu.
The moment they walked out of the tunnel and saw the light of day again, Xuandu sighed and said, "Everyone in the world is amused by lust. Benefactor Li, your wisdom is so profound. Can't you be an exception?"
Li Mu said, "Master, you've misjudged me. I don't have any wisdom. I'm just a layman."
Xuandu opened his mouth to say something, but Li Qing looked at him indifferently and said, "He doesn't want to become a monk. Master, please don't force him."
Xuandu looked at Li Qing and then at Li Mu. As if he understood something, he sighed deeply and said, "In that case, I won't force you anymore …"
Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a little afraid of Xuandu, who liked to use force when he couldn't reason with him.
Xuandu didn't mention the matter of Li Mu becoming a monk anymore. He said, "I still have a request. I hope you can agree."
After all, this monk had saved his life. Li Mu said, "As long as it's not about becoming a monk, everything can be discussed."
Xuandu smiled and looked at Li Mu. He asked, "The scripture that you're cultivating shouldn't be that basic scripture, right?"
Since he couldn't hide it anymore, Li Mu might as well confess. He simply said, "It was a snowy winter. An old monk …"
Li Qing glanced at Li Mu and didn't say anything.
After a while, Xuandu shook his head and said, "I'm not coveting your scripture. It's just that I just saw the Light of Buddha that was activated by the scripture and it was extraordinary. The abbot of Jinshan Temple was injured by a Heretical Cultivation several months ago and his cultivation foundation was destroyed. This Light of Buddha contains a mysterious power that I can't see through. Perhaps it can help him repair his foundation and get rid of his old problems …"
Xuandu saved his life. Using this opportunity, Li Mu could repay the favor.
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Of course I can save him. But my mana is weak. I might disappoint you."
Xuandu smiled and said, "When the time comes, you can borrow my mana. Even if it doesn't work, the Jinshan Temple will still owe you a favor."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Then when I return to the county government, I'll pay a visit to the Jinshan Temple."
Huiyuan scratched his bald head and said, "This scripture is so powerful. That winter, Benefactor Li must have met a Buddhist monk …"
Xuandu smiled and didn't say anything.
On the day Li Mu stayed in the Jinshan Temple, the Buddha statue in the temple glowed for no reason, indicating that a new scripture was coming out. That incident still troubled the monks in the temple. At this moment, Xuandu already had an answer in his heart.
However, he didn't ask further, nor did he say much. He only looked at Li Mu with pity in his eyes.
Li Mu stood at the entrance of the underground karst cave and looked around. He found that this place was very different from when they came in.
The ground they were standing on was charred black. The surrounding trees were also emitting wisps of black smoke. It was as if a fierce battle had just taken place.
The residual mana fluctuations and the chaotic Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth also proved this point.
Li Mu looked around and saw a familiar figure under a tree.
Wu Bo was lying under the tree. His body was full of bloody holes. His body had shrunk by at least half. His essence blood had been sucked dry, his physical strength was gone, and his Primordial Spirit was nowhere to be found.
He was obviously like Senior Brother Qin, sucked dry by the zombie.
Huiyuan murmured, "Is Constable Wu still alive?"
Cultivators in the Assembled God State needed to gather their three souls into a Primordial Spirit. After the Primordial Spirit was formed, as long as it was not destroyed, even if the body was destroyed, it could be reborn.
Li Qing took out an Immortal Guiding Talisman. Li Mu understood and took a few steps forward. He took a strand of hair from Wu Bo's body and wrapped it around the Immortal Guiding Talisman. Then, he threw the Fu-lu into the air.
The Immortal Guiding Talisman drawn by Li Qing's Assembled God State cultivation could sense a wide range. As long as Wu Bo's Primordial Spirit was still there, it could trigger a reaction from the Fu-lu.
The paper crane folded by the Immortal Guiding Talisman flapped its wings and flew into the air. After circling in place, it fell straight down and landed on Wu Bo's body.
In such a short time, Wu Bo's Primordial Spirit could not have escaped the detection range of the Immortal Guiding Talisman.
Fu-lu did not have any reaction, which meant that his Primordial Spirit had also dissipated.
In other words, Wu Bo was dead. He was completely dead.
His soul was scattered, and his body was dead.
