I have a two world clock

Chapter 37 The Strategy of Stability
With a distance of more than ten feet, Li Mu flew across the sky in the blink of an eye.

He landed in the courtyard in front of him, put away his bow and arrow, two steel maces appeared in his hands, and rushed forward like a gust of wind.

This is a back garden.

There are verdant trees in the garden, and there is a small pond. There is an octagonal gazebo beside the pond, and there are rockery and flowers beside it.

A white-haired old man was lying on the side of the pond and spouting blood, the blood rippling from the water surface, forming circles of ripples.

When Li Mu's body landed in the gazebo, the old man raised his head and said with a sad smile: "I never thought that in this small Qinghe County, I would meet a legendary Da Ri Chun Yang Physique!"

He tried his best to get up from the ground, lying on the bluestone by the pond, his chest heaving uncontrollably: "Fellow Daoist, I..."

puff!
Li Mu shot out an arrow, the arrow passed through his left shoulder and nailed him to the ground.

The white-haired old man let out a scream, his body trembling violently: "You..."

puff!
Li Mu shot another arrow, and the arrow passed through his right arm.

Afterwards, the arrows shot out, piercing his limbs and abdomen, nailing him in place, crippling his limbs, and breaking his sea of ​​dantian qi.

I saw that the old man's complexion was gray, his skin visibly decayed, the wrinkles on his face increased, and he instantly aged for decades.

At this time, Li Mu stepped forward and came to the old man: "Who are you? Why did you kill me?"

The old man made hooting noises, and opened his eyes wide: "I... I am a disciple of the puppet sect, fellow Taoist, I was greedy for a while, and I did such wrong things, please take care of me for the sake of my sect, forgive me This time I..."

"puff!"

Li Mu smashed down the steel mace in his hand, cracking the old man's brains, and immediately paid for it.

After beating the old man to death, Li Mu searched him all over with gloves on, and got a string of bracelets, a ring, and a storage kit, which was filled with various paper-cut figures and birds. It was the paper puppet who dealt with Li Mu just now.

"This guy is still a person with a legacy!"

Li Mu looked through his storage kit, and found that there were not only paper men and paper birds, but also several magical artifacts, including a black seal, which exuded a strange aura.

In addition to this seal, there is also a cyan jade slip in the kit, with runes flowing on the jade slip, which emits a faint cyan light under the bright moon.

Li Mu held the jade slip in front of his eyes and looked at it. He didn't know what it was. Suddenly, he thought of some novels about self-cultivation on the Internet that he read on weekdays, and thought, "Could this be the legendary inheritance jade slip?"

His heart moved, his eyes gathered together, and a ray of spirit followed his eyes directly into the jade slip.

boom!
The jade slip suddenly shone brightly, and the runes on it flowed, forming a ray of pure Dao rhyme, which poured into Li Mu's heart along his gaze.

"Little puppetry?"

This dao rhyme contains a practice inheritance called the small puppet technique.

You can refine paper puppets, and after refining, you can use them to kill enemies and protect yourself, or you can do other things, such as stealing chickens and dogs, scaring children...

"Since this technique is called the small puppet technique? It seems that there should be a big puppet technique? Interesting!"

Inheritance of thought, imprinting with heart, as long as the person who receives the transmission can withstand it mentally, then he can instantly learn to pass on the knowledge in the Taoist rhyme.

The depths of Li Mu's mind were opened up to a huge space by a small bronze bell. The mere inheritance of Taoist rhyme did not cause any waves in his spirit. In just a moment, he completely learned this little puppet technique.

But in the end how to do it, you have to practice it yourself.

"I seem to have heard An Yangzi talk about this puppet gate. When he said that he would sell the corpse demon's painted skin to a sect for a deal, he seemed to be talking about the puppet gate."

Li Mu took the jade slips, looked at the old man's body on the ground, thought for a while, took out a paper bird from the old man's bag, and exhaled at the paper bird: "Change!"

The paper bird changed into the wind in the air, and suddenly turned into a red fire bird, two feet tall, with a crested head and a turtle back, with two wings spread out to a radius of three feet, with fire patterns all over its body.

At this time, the fire bird looked up at the sky, the fire pattern on the top of its head lit up, took a deep breath into the void, and then exhaled at the corpse of the old man underground.

call!
A flame spurted out from the long beak of the fire bird, burning the old man's body instantly, and then the fire bird's beak also caught fire, instantly contaminating the whole body of the fire bird, and the whole fire bird burned for a while. Finally, it turned into a pile of ashes and was blown away by the wind.

"The puppet made by this old man is no good. It can't withstand even a little pure Yang power. It really is a waste!"

According to the little puppet technique he had just learned, Li Mu was going to try the paper puppet that the old man sacrificed, but he didn't expect that his method of casting was correct, and the force of the void drawn by the puppet rune was too strong. up.

Originally practiced according to the puppet technique, the greater the force the puppet pulls, the stronger the puppet will be. After the blessing of the void force, the puppet will become stronger and stronger.

But the paper puppet refined by the Taoist couldn't even withstand the pure yang energy that Li Mu spewed out. It just drew a breath of Nanming fire energy, and then burned and disappeared.

"I don't even have a wooden puppet. I just use paper as a material. I am so poor that I dare to do anything to Lao Tzu."

At this time, there were noises coming from outside the garden, and the owner of the house began to order the servants to light the lanterns and torches to check the situation.

Li Mu touched the ground with his toes, rose into the air, left the garden in an instant, and came to the street.

At this time, in the backyard of Li Ji Jewelry Shop on Qianjie Street, Sun Honglie and several servants had already finished dressing, holding swords and waiting for orders.

Li Mu came to the courtyard and said to the crowd: "The enemy has already been killed by me, you leave two people to watch the night in turn, don't be careless!"

Sun Honglie and the others agreed in unison.

After Li Mu left, Sun Honglie sat in the living room with a long sword in his hand, dazed.

A servant said: "Boss Sun, what are you doing?"

Sun Honglie came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I'm thinking about one thing."

He said to several servants: "Our master has been repeatedly provoked by strong people these few times. The reason is nothing more than being coveted by others because of his possession of treasures. In addition, he is not strong enough and is underestimated by others, so there will be small temptations."

The servant opposite said: "Do you have a good way to change this situation?"

Sun Honglie said with a chuckle: "I don't understand the things of the gods. But I know a little about the things of the world."

He said to everyone: "Our master actually lacks one thing."

Everyone said: "What's missing?"

"Fame!"

Sun Honglie said indifferently: "Our master has always dressed up as a Confucian scholar, and he is also a scholar. As long as he has obtained the honor in his hand, he will be protected by Wenhua Ziqi. Who would dare to offend such a monster?
That Zhang Shihong, Zhang Juren, is a mortal, because he was hit by Juren, so much so that if the corpse demon wanted to harm him, he had to spend all his time, transforming himself into a human, and gradually weakening his yang energy, so he didn't dare to directly kill and seize the treasure. "

He said softly: "Our master is upright and mighty. If he can enter the Confucian school, it is also a blessing for the Confucian school. For the master, it can also have another backing. With the backing of the academy, even the emperor and I have to be afraid."

A few servants nearby said: "In that case, why don't you tell the master?"

Sun Honglie hesitated and said: "Our master has a pure temperament. If he enters Confucianism, he must cherish the common people. He must do some meritorious deeds in order to cultivate Confucian supernatural powers. People who like purity will definitely not like to be an official. If I He may not be happy to persuade him to take the exam for fame."

Everyone said: "You are not the master, how do you know if the master is not happy? Just say it out, whether the master is happy or not at that time, the decision is entirely up to the master, we will do our best as servants!"

Sun Honglie said: "It's true!"

In the early morning of the next day, when Li Muyong had breakfast, Sun Honglie expressed his thoughts.

"Get fame?"

Li Mu laughed dumbfounded after hearing Sun Honglie's thoughts: "I don't know anything about Confucian classics, poems and articles, how can I get fame?"

Sun Honglie said: "In today's world, the world is chaotic, and there are many cheaters in the imperial examination. The master can certainly display his talents by obtaining fame, but another kind of wealth may not be impossible."

Li Mu laughed loudly: "Using money to buy a test, what is the difference between this and using money to buy an official?"

He waved his hand to Sun Honglie and said: "It is a stable way to obtain fame and fame, but I hate cheating in scientific examinations the most in my life. If I want to take the examination, I have to use my real skills. Hurry up and find a good teacher tomorrow, make up lessons, and let's take it for a while." Juren. Well, as for my status as a scholar, I have to do some activities and make a decision early to avoid any repetition."

He said that he didn't want to cheat, but in fact he wanted to live happily in this world, and he really cheated in some things, otherwise his household registration status and scholar's fame would not be able to stand up.

Li Mu himself is actually a double-standard dog, but he just doesn't want to admit it.
