0284. Auxiliary Direction

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.

Mother Li's eyes have only recovered a little, and she can barely see. It will take a period of treatment to fully recover.

Moreover, she has not seen Li Mu in eight years. The Li Mu was just a child when he ran away from home. Now eight years have passed, his appearance has changed a lot, and Li Mu actually doesn't recognize anything. .

Feng Yuanxing arranged a welcome banquet.

He knew that Li Mu didn't like ostentation, so it was just a small-scale internal banquet. All the people present were acquaintances, such as Ma Junwu, Zhen Meng and others, as well as several county officials. They had been diligent and conscientious these days. In order to fulfill their duties, Feng Yuanxing brought them to see the big boss Li Mu, which can be regarded as a reward.

At the banquet, Shangguan Yuting appeared and sat on Li Mu's right side.

Feng Yuanxing and others probably understood that this beautiful and cold-hearted figure like a fairy in the moon would most likely be the wife of the county magistrate in the future. Li Mu is fifteen years old this year. According to the laws of the Western Qin Empire, he is completely eligible to marry. The age of concubinage.

On the mainland of China, population is an important criterion for measuring national strength.

In the world of martial arts, the balance of power between empires is still in a system similar to that of ancient Chinese feudal society on earth. The greater the number of people, the greater the strength. Therefore, not only the Western Qin Empire, but also the Northern Song Dynasty, Southern Chu and other major barbarian states, There are relevant laws to ensure the fertility of the population. Specifically, in the Western Qin Empire, there is only one law, which is simple and straightforward: if a man does not marry at sixteen, his parents will be guilty; if a man does not marry at fifteen, his parents will be guilty.

Therefore, according to the views of Feng Yuanxing and others, now that the situation in the county is somewhat settled, the county magistrate's marriage should be on the agenda.

Li Mu is a real diamond king in Taibai County. Many wealthy businessmen and famous families are thinking about Li Mu. They want to give away their daughters, even if they don't get the status of the first wife, they can get a concubine name. Points are also good.

But now it seems that the county magistrate returned from a trip to Chang'an City and brought back a group of fairy-like beautiful girls. Those Xiaojiabiyu from wealthy businessmen and famous families can be put to rest.

It has been more than a month since Li Mu last left Taibai County.

Li Mu sat on the main seat, his eyes swept over everyone present, and he couldn't help but feel quite emotional.

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than half a year since he came to this world. He has met many people and learned many things. What he is most proud of is that his cultivation strength has improved faster than originally imagined, especially After spending fifteen days in seclusion in Chang'an City, his strength had grown by leaps and bounds. Eighty percent of his inner energy had been transformed into innate true energy, and his improvement in combat skills and strength was even more immeasurable.

He has had a glimpse of the high-end secrets of martial arts power in this world.

This opened a window for him to take the next step in martial arts.

And these people here in front of him are his first friends in this world.

Ma Junwu's injury healed, but his arm was broken, and he could no longer draw a bow and arrow. This was undoubtedly very cruel for a person who aspired to become a marksman and joined the Guanshan Ranch marksman camp. Li Mu has been They are all thinking about how to compensate him, and now, they have come to a conclusion.

He raised his hand, and a blue paper album flew to Ma Junwu.

"Sir?" Ma Junwu was surprised.

Li Mu said: "This is a secret book I have been looking for specifically for you. You can practice even if you have a broken arm... It is said that in the realm of saints, broken limbs can be regenerated and bones can be regenerated. Jun Wu, don't give up on yourself. The so-called hardships , If you are successful, maybe the misfortune of breaking your arm will turn out to be your chance. It is also unknown whether you will be able to achieve great success in martial arts in the future."

After hearing this, Ma Junwu took the paper and could not contain the ecstasy in his heart.

He originally thought that after breaking his arm, his strength was greatly reduced and he was already a waste. He could no longer serve the county magistrate. Sooner or later, he would withdraw from the core level of the Taibai County government. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate would miss the old friendship so much and even specially serve for the county magistrate. He searches for martial arts secrets...

"Thank you, sir." Ma Junwu knelt down with tears in his eyes to thank him.

Li Mu is an earthling and is not used to this kind of etiquette of kneeling frequently, but as the saying goes, do as the Romans do, so he accepted Ma Junwu's worship.

After that, he gave Feng Yuanxing, Zhen Meng and others the skills to practice.

These are also prepared in advance.

Several people were overjoyed.

The techniques given by Li Mu were all advanced martial arts secrets that they would never dare to think about.

This can be regarded as a way for Li Mu to win over people. At this stage, Li Mu still has many things that need these people to do. Therefore, the higher their strength and ability, the more help they can provide to Li Mu. big.

After this battle in Chang'an City, Li Mu also gradually realized that a single tree cannot make a forest. If he wants to get out of this planet within twenty years, it is absolutely impossible to rely on himself and work behind closed doors. Even if It is because he has mastered the cultivation techniques of immortals.

Because cultivation is never a matter of one person.

People like Li Gang, the second prince, who have talent, status, and status will definitely advance faster than those poor casual cultivators, because they have countless resources at their disposal and countless people working for them, so they can Standing on top of countless warriors.

Li Mu realized that he should cultivate his own power.

When he was in Chang'an City, if he didn't always have Zheng Cunjian's channel, he would be like a blind man and his situation would be very passive. And he couldn't always rely on Zheng Cunjian, because this black-hearted scholar was, after all, a member of the scumbag prefect Li Gang.

Who is Li Gang?

Don't think that when Mrs. Tang and others encountered a desperate situation, he showed up and killed the Netherworld Sect Master, that he was really a good person with a sense of justice. It was just a coincidence. He was just saving people for the sake of killing. Rather than killing people to save talents, it sounds a bit awkward, but the difference is huge, it is the difference between motivation and purpose.

The purpose of killing the Nether Sect Master was to weaken the power of the second prince.

If it were not for this purpose, even if Mrs. Tang and the people in the Xiongfeng Martial Arts Hall were all killed by the Netherworld Sect, Li Gang would not show up to take action.

Because later, he, Xu Sheng and the second prince had a great battle between heaven and man. The terrible aftermath destroyed the world and destroyed all living things within the coverage of the evil iris. However, he did not protect the main altar hall. The meaning is obviously to let the people in the hall fend for themselves. If Li Mu hadn't taken action, I am afraid that everyone in the Xiongfeng Martial Arts Hall, Mrs. Tang, her daughter, Princess Qin Zhen and others would have been like the unlucky Tianjian Sect successor Chu Like Nan Tian, ​​he was shaken to ashes by the aftermath of the battle between the three peak heavens and humans.

For his own benefit, Li Gang could not only care about the life and death of Mrs. Tang and others, but also the life and death of Princess Qin Zhen. This was exactly the same as when he chose to abandon Li Mu, his mother, in order to consolidate his status.

The Red Dust Sword Immortal practices the Red Dust Sword Technique.

The world of mortals is full of thin emotions and thin nature.

It can be said that Li Gang has mastered the essence of this sword art.

Li Mu was extremely wary of such a person.

As long as there is no serious conflict between the two parties, Li Gang can turn a blind eye and let Zheng Cunjian deliver various information and intelligence to Li Mu. Once this delicate cooperative relationship breaks down, Zheng Cunjian will be killed in the future. Talisman of Life and Death], and dare not disobey Li Gang's orders. When the time comes, Li Mu will suddenly become blind and deaf.

It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.

These days, while practicing, Li Mu thinks clearly.

He wants to establish his own power.

And Feng Yuanxing and others can already be regarded as Li Mu's confidants.

Start with these people.

Anyway, the secret books given by Li Mu were all taken apart by "unpacking express delivery". They were just showing generosity to others, so why not?

The atmosphere at the entire banquet became heated because of Li Mu's generous reward.

All officials who are qualified to participate in the banquet will receive a share.

Everyone is happy.

Half an hour later, the banquet ended.

Everyone dispersed.

Li Mu and the little book boy Qingfeng returned to the original county government compound.

Li's mother ordered her maid to bring hot water to help Li Mu bathe and change clothes.

Afterwards, Li Mu put on the clothes sewn by Li's mother and went to his study room to talk secretly with the little book boy Qingfeng.

If officials such as Feng Yuanxing and Ma Junwu could be considered Li Mu's first confidants, then the little book boy Qingfeng was the confidant among his confidants, and his reliability far exceeded these officials.

The little book boy had crippled legs and was sitting in a special wheelchair. He was in excellent spirits and had a rosy complexion. He opened his mouth to report everything that had happened in the county these days. Li Mu waved his hands repeatedly to stop him. He had absolutely no knowledge of county affairs. interest.

"There is no news about Mingyue yet." Li Mu said guiltily.

That day, he trusted the old beggar and the yellow dog. As a result, he was naturally confused by the foodie and book boy Mingyue. His whereabouts had been unknown for several months, and there was still no news. This made Li Mu feel quite ashamed when facing Qingfeng, because these two little The book boys usually complain and criticize each other, but in fact, they have a very good relationship and are as close as brothers and sisters.

"I will definitely find it back." Qingfeng said firmly.

Li Mu nodded, took out a few booklets from the storage space, and said, "These secret strategies on mechanisms, castings, alchemy, poisons, and refining medicines that I searched for in Chang'an City are all for you." If you are interested in the content, take it and read it first. There is also this book, [Introduction to Taoism for First Graders], which is the most precious. Keep it carefully and never lose it. It can be used as the foundation for your main direction in the future..."

[Introduction to Taoism for First Graders] was naturally written by Li Mu himself. He compiled some entry-level Taoism of the Five Elements that the old magic stick said in the past. He has already practiced a simplified version of [Xiantian Kung Fu]. The little book boy can now perform Taoism systematically. The art has been practiced.

In Li Mu's opinion, the directions that little book boy Qingfeng is interested in are obviously taking the auxiliary route.

However, the old magic stick once said that among the many major forces that dominate the star sea, formation masters, galactic alchemists, alchemists, mechanism masters, etc., once they reach a certain level of cultivation, their status is quite noble. Of course, it is still above the warriors of the same realm.

Therefore, the path Qingfeng chose cannot be said to be the wrong choice, but it is just more difficult than ordinary people.

Everything depends on his destiny.

After the secret conversation, Qingfeng left.

In the next few days, while practicing in seclusion, Li Mu stayed in seclusion and repaired and upgraded the [Tiangang Earth Evil Formation].

Ten days later, an urgent letter came from the imperial capital of Qincheng.
