0145. Country House
The crackling sound was slight, but it was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of every Tianjian Martial Arts Hall.
Zhang Ruxue, whose neck was broken, was thrown to the ground by Li Mu.
"This is what I want... Master Zhang, if you have any objection, you can come to me at any time. These days, I will be in Zhukong Lane, Xicheng District, Chang'an City."
Li Mu withdrew his arm and gently touched the chrysanthemum leopard.
"Let's go."
He was like flying, walking outside the martial arts hall.
The chrysanthemum leopard growled and looked at the person wearing the uniform of the Tianjian Martial Arts Hall, his eyes were filled with hatred.
But it still obeyed Li Mu's words, roared angrily, and followed closely behind.
The leopard is the king of the mountains and forests, jumping like flying, and the chrysanthemum leopard is even a wild beast alien species in Taibai Mountain. Even the corpses carrying Xia Ju and Qiuyi still jumping like flying, as fast as lightning, keeping up with Li Mu's slightly slowing speed.
"Stop them!"
Someone was yelling.
Zhang Chengfeng waved his hand with a vicious expression: "Don't chase after him."
"Owner?"
The disciples and senior elders of the martial arts hall all looked at Zhang Chengfeng.
Zhang Chengfeng walked over and picked up Zhang Chuxue's body. His son was killed in front of him. How could he not be angry? It can be said that he was angry and crazy. However, he could not stop him after catching up with Li Mu. The higher his strength, the more he understood how terrible the super master in the Grand Master level was. It was not within the reach of manpower. Now the interception is just to die.
Even he can't stop a super strong man at the level of a great master.
After all, he hasn't taken the last step yet.
"Master, can you just forget it? The young master's revenge must be avenged. Otherwise, if the news spreads, the prestige of my Tianjian Martial Arts Hall will be destroyed. Moreover, the underground maze will be destroyed and we will suffer heavy losses." Elder Lu couldn't swallow this breath. He was knocked away by Li Mu before, and was embarrassed and angry, and wanted to count on Zhang Chengfeng to take Li Mu to take revenge.
"Yes, Master, this guy is arrogant and hurting his junior brother. I am incompatible with him." A young man in his twenties looked indignant. He was one of Zhang Chengfeng's personal disciples and was showing his loyalty at this moment.
The other disciples also looked like they were united in hatred of the enemy.
Zhang Chengfeng hugged Zhang Chuxue, looking sad and gloomy.
"Of course I won't forget it like this... Please ask my ancestors to come out of seclusion." He said word by word: "There is not only one grandmaster in Chang'an City... an outsider who wants to cover the sky with one hand. Hehe, my Tianjian Martial Arts Hall also has the power to bury the grandmaster."
...
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Li Mu returned to Zhukong Lane.
Li's mother and others finally brought Li Mupan back. They were very excited to see Xia Ju Ping'an back, but after hearing the news of Qiu Yi's death, they were extremely sad.
"My poor Qiuyi baby..." Li's mother burst into tears.
Over the years, Li's mother survived by the service of these maids. She thought that she was a daughter from a noble family. She had learned some aristocratic etiquette, demeanor, appreciation of art, and talking about poetry. She had never been in the kitchen. When she was just driven out of Li's mansion, she was almost in a desperate situation. Thanks to the four maids, Chuncao, Xia Ju, Qiuyi and Dongxue, who were desperately protected, she was afraid she would not live today. Therefore, in her heart, she actually regarded these maids as her daughters. How could she not be sad when she heard Qiuyi's death?
Li Mu quickly comforted him.
Chuncao and Xia Ju were also persuaded.
Li's mother had a relationship of good and bad things in the past or two days, and her mental fluctuations were very strong, so she was drowsy and fell asleep in a while. The two maids went into the house to serve.
At this time, the renovation of the courtyard has come to an end.
Zheng Cunjian's energy in Chang'an City is indeed very large. In just half a morning, the transformation of the small courtyard has been basically completed. The lawn was planted, the wells were re-drawn, and some flowers, plants and trees were planted in the yard. The courtyard walls were turned into bamboo, lush, and the layout of the entire yard has completely changed, just like a small garden with quiet scenery.
Li’s mother’s thatched hut did not move because the old man had a serious old plot.
In addition, several rooms were built with wood and stone in the yard, which were quaint and had Li's mother's new residence, Chuncao and others' residence, Li Mu's own residence, a training room, a quiet room, and a three-story wooden building, which was more than ten meters high. It was the tallest building in the entire alley. Standing on it, everything within thousands of meters around could be seen.
There are also canals and water flowing cups around the room. Water trucks are used to draw water from the well, which is staggered in height and is extremely beautiful.
Zheng Cunjian put his thoughts into it.
Being able to complete such a workload in one morning is absolutely extremely efficient. I think after he went back last night, he prepared all the materials and semi-finished products when he came in the morning, so he could be so fast.
"Young Master, you are still satisfied." Zheng Cunjian came over to ask for instructions nervously.
Li Mu nodded: "It's great, take people away. There's nothing special about it recently. You secretly help me collect martial arts secrets and spell secret strategies. The higher the grade, the better. As for the others, you can also return to the prefect's mansion and do whatever you want. If I want to find you, you will naturally know." Of course, you will know. With a slight urging of the life and death talisman, he will understand.
"As for the order." Zheng Cunjian bowed and said, "The villain is waiting for the young master's order at any time."
Li Mu waved his hand.
Zheng Cunjian and a group of construction workers took out of the small yard according to the morning route.
Li Mu looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder everyone likes power, money, and the feeling of being rich and powerful is good. It’s so hard to build a small country villa in a slum and a garden lawn, just a few artificial swimming pools are missing.
When he came to his room, he had already put on ready-made furniture, bedding and clothes, and prepared a lot of them, enough to change them. Things in this world are basically purely natural, so there is no such factor as decoration and building pollution, so you can move in at any time.
Li Mu's study, living room, quiet room and practice room are all connected together. The latter two are on the third floor of the small building, with a closed space and quiet space.
In the study, there are ten neatly cut white jade materials, each of which is the size of a washbasin, with excellent texture, and when combined, it is of great value.
This was prepared by Li Mu in advance for Zheng Cunjian.
The Taoist techniques taught by the old sage are all kinds of strange, but one thing is that if it is a formation or some other slightly more complex Taoist techniques, it will be difficult to carve them completely with Li Mu's current attainments and standards. It is necessary to have a certain carrier, especially the formation. It is difficult to have no carrier. According to the old sage, jade is the best. The better the jade quality, the better the effect.
On that day, Li Mu used a lot of jade materials and changed the terrain and even changed the feng shui.
Array setting is always a financially consuming matter.
Fortunately, Li Mu's formation around the courtyard was not as complicated as in Taibai County. It was just a defensive illusion array called [Tianluo Miyan Array], which could make private treacherous people lost in it and could not find a way out. It could even change the spatial distance to make people feel lost to them to a certain extent.
He did not intend to live here for a long time.
Although Chang'an City is prosperous, it is because of the large number of people that the air is dirty. After all, it is not as rich as in Taibai Mountain, and it is not as rich in spiritual energy.
Li Mu thought to himself.
Among the four maids, Dongxue is still the last one, who is in Ning Mansion and has not been brought back yet.
Dongxue was the first maid to be forced to leave, and the oldest of the four maids. She was regarded as the elder sister by the other three girls. When the prefect forces made things difficult for Li Mu, she was the first to stand up and sacrifice herself. After going to Ning Mansion, there was no news anymore and I don’t know what happened.
However, Li Mu did not provoke Ning Mansion, and there were no people like Zhou Yu and Zhang Chuxue behind the scenes, so there was no rush to rescue Dongxue.
Li Mu sat in the study and began to carve the predictions and make Taoist tools that nurture autumn souls.
However, Taoist tools are not that simple and require a certain amount of energy.
Moreover, Li Mu had no experience in refining Taoist weapons before. Everything came from the old charlatan's daily indoctrination of true and falsehood. It can be said that it is theoretical knowledge, and it is completely just a paper talk. As the saying goes, "It is always shallow to learn from it, and you must practice it yourself to know it." Li Mu also had to accumulate some practical experience in sacrifice and refining.
About an hour passed.
Li Mu used three pieces of jade materials the size of a washbasin to make a palm-sized Taoist embryo.
The so-called Taoist embryo is not a Taoist artifact in the full sense, and it also needs to be sacrificed and refined.
The Taoist arts taught by the old sage and the basic secrets of operation are all in terms of mental power. Li Mu's mental power is tempered by practicing the [Innate Technique]. It can be withstood the Taoist arts like the ones [Shith Thunder Inspiration], so it should be considered to have reached a certain level of attainment. However, this thing has not been quantified in detail. The old sage has never mentioned it. Li Mu does not understand the magic system of this world, so he does not know how specific he has reached.
To sacrifice the embryo of the Taoist weapon into a Taoist weapon, it requires spiritual power to complete it.
The specific process...is similar to meditation and visualization.
Li Mu released his mental power and slowly floated up with the Taoist embryo that was as big as a palm in front of him, which looked like a coffin.
The so-called mental power sounds mysterious, but in fact, there were some superpowers on the earth that could move objects in their minds, distort steel bars in their minds, unlock locks with their minds, etc. This was all because of chance. Scientists have said that less than 10% of the brain domain of human beings has been developed. If this number can exceed, superpowers can be generated and things that ordinary people cannot reach. The correctness of this theory will not be discussed, but its thinking is roughly correct.
In Li Mu's view today, mental power, like internal energy and internal strength, is a manifestation of the concreteization of power, but it should be more special.
He controlled his mental power and began to portray it on the embryo of the Taoist instrument.
