In the Heavens

I have to admire the nerves of the people in Guobei County. There was a murder case just now, and the streets returned to normal in an instant, as if nothing happened.

Obviously, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, otherwise the people would not be so numb.

He has no interest in studying people's livelihood in depth. Now Li Mu is concerned about the heavens, the underworld, and the poisonous aura, and other things are not important.

Following the direction directed by the restaurant staff, Li Mu came to the entrance of a funeral shop in the county town.

Scented wax, wreaths, paper figurines, paper horses, charms, coffins... everything is available, just like a grocery store.

There is no way out, all the monk temples and Taoist temples in Guobei County have been robbed, and this funeral shop is the only one that has anything to do with ghosts.

Glancing at the charms on the counter, Li Mu smiled slightly. These things still have weak magic power remaining on them, and they should be able to deal with newborn ghosts, which should come from the hands of practitioners.

"Master Dao, I don't know what you want. The cinnabar, yellow paper, curse water, spell paper, spell pen, scented wax and other items in the small shop are all high-quality goods, which are excellent choices for drawing talismans and offering sacrifices."

It can be seen that the waiter in the shop still has good eyesight, and he did not sell coffins, wreaths and other funeral items to spoil the scenery.

After handing over a silver ingot, Li Mu asked slowly: "Xiao Er, I have seen some of the spells on the container. Some of them are extraordinary. I don't know which fellow made them?"

Looking in the direction of Li Mu's finger, the waiter in the store was taken aback, seeing Li Mu frowned and hurriedly said: "Master Daoist, you have good eyesight!

Those spells were received by the shop owner at a high price from the masters who passed by, and they are the treasures of our shop..."

Before Xiaoer could continue blowing, Li Mu interrupted: "I'll take as much talisman drawing supplies as cinnabar, yellow paper, and curse water!"

Since it was done by passers-by, there is no need to understand it in depth. A few talismans can't catch his eyes, and the main purpose of inquiring news is to find practitioners in this world in order to learn more information.

The shop clerk was startled by the sudden change, and then said happily, "Master Daoist, wait a moment. I'll go to the warehouse to check the goods, and I'll send them to you right away."

It's rare to see such a big customer directly. After speaking, the waiter in the store hurriedly called out the shopkeeper's reception, and ran to move the goods by himself.

"Master Daoist, I don't know which Taoist temple you practice in. There are a lot of things, why don't I send someone to deliver them to you?"

The old man said eagerly.

Since entering the troubled times, such a big patron has been rare. Now he is very much looking forward to Li Mu staying in Guobei County so that the business can continue for a long time.

"Don't worry, Pindao has his own means."

Although only clones came over, there are still a lot of equipment. The storage ring is just a basic operation, nothing at all.

I have to admit that the purchasing power of silver is still very strong. I bought a lot of things, and there is still a piece of silver left.

Of course, the most important thing is that with a wave of Li Mu's hand, he put a lot of things into the storage ring, which made the old shopkeeper stop thinking about ripping off things.

In this world full of ghosts and ghosts, and doing deadly business, how could it be possible not to know how powerful a cultivator is.

Without picking up the rest of the broken silver, Li Mu asked, "Shopkeeper, how much do you know about Lanruo Temple?"

Hearing the words "Lanruo Temple", the face of the old shopkeeper who had been smiling all over his face instantly changed drastically.

"Master Dao, Lanruo Temple is not a good place. It's better during the day, but at night, it's a world of ghosts and monsters.

To tell you the truth, in recent years, many practitioners who want to subdue demons and demons have gone to Lanruo Temple, but in the end they never returned.

Originally, my Guobei County was also a big county with prosperous commerce and trade, but since Lanruo Temple was haunted by ghosts, the commercial road to the capital was basically cut off.

Everyone would rather detour for hundreds of miles, and no one dares to pass through Lanruo Temple. Last month, the unbelieving Shuntong Escort was wiped out in Lanruo Temple, and no one dared to go even to collect the corpse.

The imperial court sent people over to eliminate the demon many times, but they all failed in the end. Now Lanruo Temple has been listed as a forbidden place, so you must not go there! "

After hearing what the old shopkeeper said, Li Mu's impression of him improved a bit. In this day and age, it is considered a good person not to deceive others.

Although he didn't have much useful information, one thing he said was right: Lanruo Temple is really dangerous.

The source of danger is not some tree demon female ghost, but the old Montenegro demon hiding behind the scenes.

A big monster who can freely cross yin and yang is by no means an idle person. Before he was sure about his cultivation level, Li Mu was not going to come to the door to subjugate demons.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, since he knows the danger of Lanruo Temple, Pindao will naturally not take the risk."

...

The aura of heaven and earth is poisonous, and Li Mu also stopped thinking about continuing to practice. In order to avoid being polluted by the aura, he directly used means to isolate the aura.

Now let's see if there is a way to purify the spiritual energy in the practice world, or else sooner or later he will be harmed by the poisonous spiritual energy and end up in a bleak end.

Judging from the current situation, the plot should not have started yet, otherwise the Shuntong Escort would not have wiped out the entire army.

Without the halo of the protagonist, Li Mu's avatar is quite normal. There may be a world of gods and Buddhas in this side, which is absolutely unacceptable.

To be on the safe side, let's follow the protagonist for a while, and then share some luck.

After buying a house, Li Mu temporarily lived in Guobei County, waiting for the protagonist to come to his door.

With nothing to do, Li Mu simply studied the art of spells. Anyway, I have also been a Taoist priest, and I still have some foundations in this regard.

Occasionally it seems boring, and he also takes on a few ghost-hunting missions. In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, and except for the ghost den in Lanruo Temple, all the ghosts within a hundred miles were taken care of by Li Mu.

He didn't accumulate much human merit, but the name of the immortal teacher resounded throughout Guobei County. The name of Nuo Da was created, which attracted many comrades to visit, but it was a pity that they were all half full.

Not only is his cultivation insufficient, but his knowledge is also pitiful. Don't say that the heavens and the underworld do not involve the secrets of the human world, and they don't even know that the spiritual energy is poisonous.

I don't know what happened to the practice world, anyway, a hundred years ago, a group of famous families closed the mountain, and at the same time, the gods and Buddhas stopped showing their holiness.

Fortunately, these guys have a bit of conscience. Before closing the mountain and closing the door, they first carried out a major cleansing of the aliens in the practice world. They were killed and shut down. Those who remained were small fish, and the order of the human world was maintained. up to now.

Most of the monsters that are active now have risen in the past century, and there are only a very small number of big monsters like the old demon of Montenegro who have slipped through the net.

With this limited information, Li Mu has no way to restore the truth. After all, there seems to be a problem with the way of heaven in this world, and it is too difficult to comprehend the secret of heaven.

Taking in a few casual cultivators who defected, Li Mu simply set up a Taoist temple in the north of the city, facing Lanruo Temple ten miles away.

For this reason, he also specially captured a ghost king and refined it into a Dharma protector. Originally thought that Yan Chixia would come to the door, but she didn't expect that dead nerd, so she just ignored her.

If others don't come, it's hard for Li Mu to find him for no reason. One world has the rules of the other world, and going uninvited is a bad guest.

Unless Li Mu opens the door to accept orders and welcomes colleagues from all walks of life to communicate, most practitioners are very withdrawn.

Perhaps due to the influence of the poisonous aura, the more advanced a practitioner is, the more he will reject strangers.

Obviously, Yan Chixia from the dead house was one of the victims. If you are good at communicating with people and have many friends in the practice world, you won't be able to handle even a tree demon.

"Guanzhu, another caravan was killed in Lanruo Temple last night!"

Glancing at the old man, Li Mu said nonchalantly, "There's no need to worry too much, as long as they don't run wild on our land, let them go!

Let them enjoy themselves for a few days, the tree demon's doom is approaching, and when the time comes, I will send him off. "

Pay attention to the murder of business travelers, because it can make money from death. Others didn't dare to touch it, which happened to be cheap for Li Mu.

Taoist temples also need operating costs. The people of Guobei County are clinking with poverty, and Li Mu can't do the work of scraping the land.

Subduing demons and demons are all symbolic charges, if you have money, you can charge some, if you don’t have money, a few eggs, or a basket of fruits and vegetables are also fine. The income from ghost hunting alone cannot afford to support more than a dozen Taoist priests.

Knowing that Lanruo Temple is very dangerous, he ran to die, and he can't blame others when he dies.

What's more, there is an agreement between Yan Chixia and the tree demon, as long as they stand upright enough, they will not be robbed.

"Yes, Lord Guan."

The old man immediately agreed.

Obedience is the most important reason for Li Mu to keep them, and it's completely impossible to count on Xiu why. Only casual cultivators can understand the suffering of casual cultivators, so they cherish the present life very much.

Most people have obtained incomplete inheritance, and embarked on the road of practice in a daze. Not to mention the Dao of Longevity, there are very few people who can successfully build a foundation.

Of the group of casual cultivators gathered by Li Mu, only two of them completed the foundation building, and they did it with his help.

The fact that the aura is poisonous has no practical significance to these little monks. The biggest sequela to them is the reduction of lifespan, and other disadvantages are not something these little monks can encounter.

In other worlds, Foundation Establishment cultivators can extend their lifespan by hundreds of years, but here they are slightly better than ordinary people, and they may not even be able to live longer than some old birthday stars.

"Recently, you should practice in the temple, especially don't go in the direction of Lanruo Temple, so as not to be affected by the fish in the pond."

For the sake of their being able to help with chores, Li Mu asked one more thing. Xia Houdu appeared in Guobei County, and the plot is about to kick off.

In troubled times, someone needs to act as a guardian. The rogue cultivators he took in had good temperaments. Although there is no hope of immortality, it is still possible to deal with ordinary ghosts.

Meeting is not only fate, leaving inheritance and Taoism can also protect the peace of one side. Although he is not a saint, Li Mu still doesn't mind doing things that can be arranged at will.
