The next day, it was dawn.

Li Mu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

"Cool!"

He sat on the spot and stretched out for a long time, only to feel that he was full of energy, and his whole body was full of energy, as if he had inexhaustible strength, and his condition was surprisingly good.

On the small bed next to the big bed, Hu Yunniang also woke up from her meditation and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Master, are you awake?" I'll get you water and wash your face! ”

As she spoke, a fluffy fox tail swayed behind her, and after a few moments, it vanished.

This is the vision of her fox clan when she practiced, now she is shallow in cultivation, only one fox tail phantom, if the skill is profound, stimulate the ancient bloodline, the tail phantom behind will be more and more, until the formation of nine tails, it can be regarded as reaching the state of perfection, the achievement of the nine-tailed sky fox.

However, it is impossible for most fox demons to cultivate two tails in their lifetime, from ancient times to the present, there is only one nine-tailed sky fox in heaven and earth, and I have never heard of a second sky fox appearing.

This night, Li Mu meditated and practiced qi, and Hu Yunniang, as a portable maid, gained great benefits in the rich wave of spiritual energy.

One night's aura was washed out, which was enough for Hu Yunniang's ten years of qi practice, and removed many impurities in the demon pill, making the fox demon inner pill more and more pure, and the bloodline was further purified.

She took the opportunity to sacrifice the flying sword she had just refined, repeatedly washed and refined it in the aura, and underwent the washing of the essence of heaven and earth, and the flying sword swallowed the aura, and improved the quality a lot in one night.

It is an ordinary thing for a qi refiner to swallow spiritual energy and condense the body of the original god, but every time he cultivates like Li Mu, he can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth, trigger the brilliance of the stars and moons, and form a wave of spiritual energy, but it is still the only thing that Hu Yunniang has seen in her life.

But when she thought of the situation when she asked her lord for a seal, her lord could transform himself into a word and shake the rules of the avenue, Hu Yunniang felt that it was really reasonable for her lord to cause such a movement.

"My master is indeed the reincarnation of a saint, otherwise, how could an idle monk cause such a movement?"

She went out happily, brought a copper basin of warm water, served Li Mu to get up, and dressed him cleanly, which made Li Mu enjoy the treatment that can only be enjoyed in ancient luxury homes.

"If I get used to this in the Great Yin Dynasty and return to modern society, I'm afraid I'm really a little uncomfortable."

Under Hu Yunniang's service, Li Mu put on his clothes, shoes and socks, and then brushed his teeth and rinsed his mouth.

In fact, once a Qi Refiner has started to practice Qi, the whole person's physique will be purified a lot, unless there is poisoning or something wrong with the cultivation, otherwise, the body will be pure, and there will never be bad breath and yellow teeth.

But it is also because of this that if a Qi Refiner is looking for a Taoist partner, he can only find a Qi Refiner, and in their opinion, ordinary people are too filthy to tolerate the other party sharing a bed with them.

Especially the kind of acquired Qi cultivation master, whose body is as pure as glass, almost to the stage of Bigu, it is difficult to become a couple with ordinary people.

In the eyes of some monks with advanced cultivation, the world is like a huge septic tank, and when mortals speak, exhale and inhale, they have all kinds of foul smells, which makes these monks difficult to tolerate, which is also one of the reasons why many monks live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and rarely set foot in the red dust.

But Li Mu doesn't have this problem.

He still regards himself as a normal person, even though his five senses and six senses are extremely sharp, but as long as he has been in the red dust world for a long time, he has lived in abalone for a long time and does not feel its smell, and he does not feel that it is too difficult.

Maybe after a long time, his mentality will change, but until then, he is still just a mortal.

Even though he feels that his mouth does not smell bad and his body is not dirty, he still washes his face and teeth, and washes his feet and face.

After washing, when I came to the restaurant, there was already a maid who had made breakfast, gruel, buns, steamed buns, pickles, boiled eggs, etc., which were simple and simple, but the taste was excellent, and Li Mu liked to eat.

Last night, Hu Yunniang spat out a flying sword and repelled the attacking enemy, which coincided with Li Mu's return, shooting demons with arrows, and the six monks were all left behind.

These servants in the family are also from bandits, they all have extraordinary skills, and their vision and knowledge are far beyond ordinary people, so they naturally know the power of their masters.

Therefore, when Li Mu had breakfast, all of them came to respectfully pay homage to the host.

Sun Honglie, a servant appointed by Li Mu as the shopkeeper of the jewelry store, came to report: "Master, the jewelry shop on the front street has been cleaned up, and the furniture has been built according to what the master said. ”

This Sun Honglie is a showman, only because he killed the adulterer and adulteress, and destroyed the adulterer's whole family, he became a bandit, and struggled to survive in the Demon Rock Mountain.

Now he is accepted by Hu Yunniang as his subordinate, and he is ordered by Li Mu as the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop, so that he is out of the extremely sinister living environment, Sun Honglie is extremely grateful, so he does his best to do things, and does not dare to slack off.

"Choose a date for opening—"

Li Mu said with a smile: "Zi Chou Yinmao, it's just right today!" ”

He said to Sun Honglie: "You prepare, when I finish breakfast, let's go to the shop for a walk, and I will count the batch of goods for you." ”

Sun Honglie bowed and said, "Yes!" ”

After breakfast, Li Mu led seven or eight healthy servants and went straight to the front street.

After leaving the door of his house, he saw two white flowers hanging on the big tree next to the crossroads, and the crotch was stained with blood, attracting countless people to watch, point, and not be lively.

"Oh, what a vicious method, these two people have offended someone, they were stripped naked, not to mention, even the chickens were taken away!"

"It is estimated that it was because of the Greedy Wolf Gang that he was disposed of like this."

"It's so white, I really want to go over and touch it."

Something strange seems to have been mixed in.

At this time, several officials came, one by one holding iron rulers, and shouted and scolded along the street: "Get away, don't delay the county lord's case!" ”

The gong sounded, the guard of honor lined up, and an official sedan chair came slowly from a distance, and after a while, it came to the crossroads, and a black-clothed official, supported by two officials, came to the crossroads, and looked up at the two naked men who were hanging.

"How can it be!"

This black-clothed official is the parent official of Qinghe County, Qinghe County is virtuous, and he pointed to the two people who were hanging in the air: "Who dares to be so rampant, and dare to do such a lawless thing!" Come on, investigate this matter thoroughly! ”

A master next to him approached Gui Youde and whispered: "My lord, Zhang Zhutou said that these two people are monks, not ordinary people. ”

Gui Youde hit a spirit: "What? ”

As an official of the imperial court, he naturally knows the power of the monks, and now the two people who are hanging in the air are actually monks, and the only ones who can hang and beat the monks are monks, so it seems that this must be a contradiction between the qi refiners, and he, a mortal official, will not dare to get involved in it if he gives him ten dares.

"Ahh

Gui Youde's face changed, he covered his head with his hands, and said to the people around him: "This matter is temporarily under the disposal of Zhang Zhutou, be sure to give this official an explanation!" Hurry up, carry the official home, and ask the doctor to see a doctor for me. ”

He staggered back to the sedan chair, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the official suddenly suffered from a head wind, I'm afraid I won't be able to preside over this matter, Zhang Shijie, this matter is handed over to you to deal with with with all!" ”

A tall black-faced catcher quickly arched his hand and said, "Yes! The lowly should do his best to catch the real culprit! ”

After returning to Youdao and leaving in a sedan chair, Zhang Shijie stood in place and was silent for a moment, and called a confidant: "Go and inform my cousin and ask him to go to Li's house as a guest." ”

The henchman nodded and left, went straight to Zhang Shihong's house in the east of the city, and told Zhang Shijie's words.

Zhang Shihong's face changed color slightly, and he came to his father Zhang Yuanzheng's house: "Dad, the big thing is not good, there are really strong people in Li Mu's family, and those who grabbed the chess pieces were beaten half to death, castrated, and hung naked." Shijie specially sent a message to me to be a guest at Li's house. ”

Zhang Yuanzheng was also a little flustered: "This step is wrong!" ”

Since Li Mu and An Yangzi killed the corpse demon at his house, the father and son were grateful, but at the same time, they were also worried because of the leak of the news of their rotten chess pieces.

At the beginning, Zhang Shihong wanted to give the chess pieces to Li Mu and An Yangzi, but he actually had the idea of causing trouble to the east, but Li Mu was not greedy or possessive, and he was unmoved by the rotten chess pieces, which made Zhang Shihong's plan fall through.

However, An Yangzi was very interested in the chess piece, took a chess piece and floated away.

Li Mu didn't want chess pieces, the Zhang family father and son couldn't sleep well, and after thinking about it for a long time, they still felt that their chess pieces were a blessing or a curse, so they still took the initiative to send two chess pieces, one black and one white, to Li's house.

Li Mu was not at home at that time, and Hu Yunniang didn't know the severity and accepted it on her behalf, which made the Zhang family feel a little wrong, but since it was sent out, there was no reason to come back.

Later, a monk came to the Zhang family to make trouble and interrogated the whereabouts of the Zhang family's father and son, and the father and son directly reported the names of Li Mu and An Yangzi, and their family was spared.

This disaster led to Li Mu, causing many monks to attack the Li Mansion in the past few days, forcing the chess pieces, if it weren't for Hu Yunniang refining the flying sword, there would be more than a dozen people in the Li Mansion, and I am afraid that the end would not be good.

Now that the Li family has stripped the monk naked and castrated, it can be seen that the Li family is ruthless and lawless.

The father and son of the Zhang family glanced at each other, and they were all shocked.

"Shihong, you go to the Li Mansion to apologize now, you will ...... Bring all the dozen or so chess pieces that our ancestors have handed down. ”

Zhang Yuanzheng sighed and said, "This thing is not something that our mortal family can have, and it is a blessing or a curse to keep it." ”

Zhang Shihong also sighed: "It's a pity that the mistake of one thought, greed, not only offended the benefactor, but also left a disaster." ”

He no longer hesitated, hurriedly called the servants and maids, prepared all kinds of gifts, sealed the silver and gold, and at the same time packed all the dozen or so chess pieces in the brocade box, and rushed to the Li house.

Front Street.

Let's say that after Li Mu arrived at his shop, he saw that everything in the shop was in accordance with his requirements, the furniture was built, the varnish was painted, and the Bogu shelves were full of jewelry boxes, but now these boxes are empty.

"It's okay!"

Li Mu glanced around and nodded: "Is there a name for this shop?" ”

Hu Yunniang said: "The master hasn't come back, how dare I be good at it?" Please also ask the master to name the shop, so that I can find someone to make a plaque. ”

Li Mu said: "It's just a jewelry shop, why be so solemn, it's called Li Ji Jewelry." ”

Hu Yunniang said: "This name is back to the basics, it is simple, but it has a kind of vulgar meaning, the state of mind of the master, the slave and maid will cultivate for another thousand years, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up." ”

Li Mu laughed: "Where is the deep meaning of this, don't think too much." ”

Hu Yunniang pursed her lips and smiled: "What the master says is what it is." ”

At that moment, two servants were called, and they took out a good plaque, which was the color of the log, painted with varnish, and the bare board was wordless.

Hu Yunniang took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and saluted Li Mu: "Please also ask the master to inscribe on it, and I will wait to hang it." ”

Li Mu happened to like to study calligraphy in the modern society, and he also won the second place in the college calligraphy grand prix when he was in college.

As we all know, in most competitions in Xia Kingdom, the first place is basically won by virtue of relationships and connections, and only the second and third places are really high-level people.

Li Mu's calligraphy in modern society is enough to beat many so-called calligraphers, but because he did not join the calligraphy association and did not become a member of the association, he is still not famous.

The characters of the Great Yin Dynasty are very similar to the development trajectory of modern society, and there is almost no difference.

There was a period of time when simplified characters were popular in modern society, but later the general public felt that after the simplification of simplified characters, the rationality of the font itself was completely lost, so some people began to call for the restoration of traditional characters.

Whether the people of Xia use traditional characters or simplified characters has been debated endlessly, but in this case, traditional characters and simplified characters have become a common sense issue for the general public, and students who have gone to school are basically both traditional and simplified.

As a calligraphy lover, Li Mu naturally uses traditional Chinese characters to practice fonts on weekdays, and now Hu Yunniang asks him to inscribe in public, and he is not afraid.

Laughed at the moment: "Bring the pen!" ”

Hu Yunniang hurriedly handed the brush to Li Mu: "Master, please ask for Mobao." ”

Li Mu took this brush in his hand, licked the ink, picked up the pen to write, the true qi was immersed in it, the pen head was condensed into one, and the whole brush made a "sneer" sound of true qi breaking through the air, written on the wooden plaque, it was really a silver hook iron painting, three points into the wood.

"Good!"

Seeing that Li Mu's handwriting was so beautiful, everyone applauded.

Hu Yunniang clapped her hands excitedly: "Come on, hang this plaque outside!" ”

Several servants happily came to the outside of the shop, only to see Hu Yunniang order, the two servants threw the plaque into the air, and in the "click" sound, the plaque hung upright on the nail that had been nailed directly above the door.

When they hung the plaque, Li Mu thought in the store, and there were a few more packages in the store: "Old Sun, you can classify these jewelry and put them in different boxes, as for the price, you can set it yourself, not too expensive, not too cheap, just a little cheaper than the jewelry on the market." ”

Sun Honglie said: "Follow the master's orders!" ”

Together with a few servants, he sorted and lifted the ornaments on the ground, put them on the counter and counted them, only to see pearls and crystal ornaments, all of which were ingenious, and each one seemed to be worth a lot.

But these things were all packed in ordinary packages by his own master, and he didn't even bother to classify them, so he threw them over.

"My lord opened this jewelry shop, I'm afraid it's just for fun, and he never thought about making money."

Sun Honglie saw that Li Mu spent money lavishly on weekdays, and these pearls and gems were not taken seriously, so he knew that his master was a person who didn't care about money.

"If your hands are so loose, how will you live in the future? When I turn around, I have to talk to Steward Hu, you must know that success is due to diligence and thrift, and failure is due to luxury! ”

Seven or eight people worked together, classifying these things and putting them in different boxes, and Hu Yunniang quoted the price and labeled it, which was considered to be the completion of the work.

After getting all the furnishings in the house ready, Li Mu smiled: "Okay, it's time to open!" ”

Then he took out a golden hairpin and handed it to Hu Yunniang: "Yun Niang, I have worked hard for you this time, and I will reward you with a hairpin." ”

Hu Yunniang was surprised and delighted: "Ah, the master is still thinking about the slave!" ”

She took the hairpin and couldn't help but put it in her bun with joy: "Thank you for the reward!" ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "The golden hairpin and the beauty really complement each other!" ”

Hu Yunniang was embarrassed, lowered her head and played with the corners of her clothes, and said, "Master, the slave family is so happy." ”

Li Mu smiled, got up and said, "Hong Lie, a few of you will guard here." ”

He took Hu Yunniang back to his house.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I saw several people parked at the door, carrying burdens, pulling carts, and loading things.

Zhang Shihong's legs were numb at the door, and when he saw Li Mu returning, he hurriedly stepped forward and sighed deeply: "Brother Li, the little brother is here to make amends!" ”
