On the outskirts of Anyang, land temple.

A few years ago, this land temple could not be called a temple at all.

At that time, the land lord only had a simple dwelling made of stone and bricks, and the size was no more than three feet square.

Inside is a small clay statue of an old man with a long beard, and a small incense burner in front of the statue.

Every year during the spring prayer, farmers will come to worship the Lord of the Land.

Some people in the family have passed away, and they will also come to report to the land lord and add some incense to this small incense burner, and no one cares about it at other times.

However, a few years ago, a village woman who lost her child came to ask for the blessing of the landlord, and the child came back by himself the next day.

It turned out that the child secretly went to the uncle's house with some surplus money to eat, and stayed there for another night.

But the woman firmly believed that it was the Lord of the Land who blessed her child, so she said that the land temple on the outskirts of the city was effective.

One to ten, ten to hundred.

Anyone in the family who is lost comes to worship, and someone who has lost something also comes to worship.

Last year, Liu Yuanwai, who had a bumper harvest of land in his hands, even paid for the land lord to build a real small temple.

The temple is not big, but it is also a big house with a small courtyard.

Another craftsman re-fired a one-person-high statue for the land lord, and replaced the original small statue.

Today you send a futon, tomorrow I pull a piece of eucalyptus.

After coming and going, although this land temple is small, it has become complete, and even the merit box is placed inside.

There is also a couplet hanging at the door: "A little spirited, the size is an official." ”

But if you want to say that it is really lively, to the extent that the incense is at its peak, it is still a matter of two or three months.

No, in the evening, a servant from the Cao County Commander's Mansion came again.

"Now if you want to worship the Lord of the Land, you have to pick a time, it's freezing this day, and there are no fewer people during the day."

"No, there are a lot of people who come to worship every day."

"Where did these two military masters at the door send them, look at this momentum is not like the old soldiers in our Anyang City......"

"Shhhh What nonsense, don't pull me when you've lived enough. ”

A few people who also wanted to take advantage of the lack of people to burn incense walked in without a word.

Cao's servants also followed.

These two soldiers who have only been guarding the gate of the Land Temple in recent days, but he knows the origin.

This is the powerful Sun Divine Doctor's own private soldier.

A few days ago, he was fortunate enough to see the people who escorted Siqiyuan up and down the mountain.

"Alas, if only I could have one-ten-thousandth of Doctor Sun's ability."

The servant of the Cao Mansion muttered, and felt that his whimsy was a little funny.

After the people in front of him worshipped, he respectfully put incense on the land lord.

"The land lord is on top, when I get the monthly money in the coming month, and then play with them, your old man must bless me with victory and kill all directions!"

This person even asked for gambling luck, and he asked for the land lord, which is also outrageous.

But he didn't think so, he confused the goblin of his own master Cao County, and he came to the earth temple to ask for a son, why couldn't he come to ask for gambling luck?

"The Great Age of Genes"

After worshipping the Lord of the Land, he saw the merit box next to him.

But when you touch your body, you have lost all your money.

He was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something, and took a red rope from his neck, on which a copper coin was being tied.

This was found in the corner of the public hall when he was sweeping the county government more than a month ago.

The little official who was in charge of sprinkling and sweeping that day was sick, and he was temporarily sent by the master to help with the work, but he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.

Although this copper coin didn't look special, he always felt very relieved, so he tied it up with a red rope and put it on his body.

Untied the red rope from the copper coin, he bowed to the land god twice: "Grandpa Land, although this money is small, it is the last bit of money on me." You always think that I am so sincere, you must bless me to win. ”

After that, he put the copper coin into the merit box and left with anticipation.

It was getting late, and it was late at night.

The two red bean warriors at the gate of the temple were still guarding here without blinking.

The hundred-man team sent by Sun Miao did not take it back, anyway, it can be collected at any time when it is needed, and now it is not possible to transfer it back to Jishitang, but fortunately, they will continue to search outside for the time being.

And these two warriors were left in the Land Temple by the captain of the hundred-man team, in case the people they were looking for came back here.

Today, as usual, there are many people who come to worship the land, but there is no fortune teller.

However, when the time came, something unusual suddenly happened.

Crash.

The sound of copper coins striking came from the temple, and the warriors looked into it, and everything was normal in the dark temple, and the statue of the god of the land was still smiling.

Bang bang.

The voice sounded again, and it turned out to be coming from the merit box.

The two red bean warriors did not speak or make eye contact, so one of them went into the temple to check, and the other stood guard outside the temple.

The merit box shook slightly, and then suddenly a copper coin with a glimmer of light rushed out of it!

The coin hovered in the air, its light growing.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Uhh——!h

Bang bang bang.

Under the light, the small temple suddenly became lively.

There was the sound of a woman crying, a moan of being strangled, and a string of wet footprints on the ground.

The warrior took the sword from behind his back and looked around steadily, but there was still no one.

He slowly moved outside the temple, and another person at the door also came in with a knife to answer him, and the two walked back to back outside the temple.

The copper coin was already shining brighter than a candle flame at this time.

And in the empty house, there are many more figures at this time, but unfortunately there are no half normal people at all......

Maybe half of them are still there, and there is a headless one not far from the two, who can probably be regarded as half a normal person.

There are women who hide their faces and cry, there are those whose tongues are more than three feet long hanging from the beams of the house, and there are those who are wet and have big bellies.

They seemed to be intimidated by the glow of the copper coins, and they were all trying to stay away from the merit box at this time.

And those who were closer to the two red bean warriors took the opportunity to attack the two.

The long-tongued hanged ghost swept over and directly used the Ghost Realm Illusion on them.

Red Bean Warrior: "......"

They still backed out back-to-back, and one of them swung his knife at the approaching Hangman, but the blade pierced through without hindrance, causing little damage to the Hangman.

But the hanged ghost, who had never encountered a failed illusion, was stunned for a moment, and then looked carefully, and finally found the difference between these two.

"They don't have three life lamps, they're not alive!" The voice of the hanged man being stuck in his neck sounded.

The other ghosts also looked at this side at the same time, but at this moment, the light emitted by the copper coin finally reached its peak.

"Ahh——!h

"The nearest drowned ghost emitted white smoke all around him, and he was killed directly in the light.

Seeing this, the other ghosts fled one after another, and they couldn't care about the two red bean warriors.

Just at this moment, a huge claw stretched out from behind the statue of the Earth Lord God, and grabbed the copper coin with one hand.

Although there was smoke in his hand, he still did not let go.

Looking behind the big hand, a huge head with a dry face, a large mouth and sharp teeth poked out, squeezing out an expression that looked like a smile at the two red bean warriors.

Gaba.

The copper coin was crushed by the giant claws.

This huge ghost, which has even condensed its body again, came out from behind the statue.

Standing bent over the room, he grabbed a red bean warrior with one hand.

The warrior slashed and retreated, and the other slashed across the sword for cover.

But the giant claw came quickly and urgently, and the two knives cracked up to no effect, and it didn't even play a role in blocking it, and the giant claw had already grabbed a warrior.

The ugly ghost shoved him into his mouth, and there was the sound of bones and tendons breaking.

At first it looked like it was enjoying it, but immediately it felt empty and it didn't eat anything.

Well...... There is only one red bean left.

"Ah——!h The big ghost was furious and roared filial piety.

The surviving red bean warriors didn't say a word, turned around and ran away.

The moment he left the door, several skeletal arms reached out from the wall and grabbed one of his arms.

The red bean warrior didn't want to entangle, but immediately cut off his arm, and still rushed out of the small courtyard without slowing down.

Jumped up, put one foot on the trunk of the tree in front of the door, and turned out of the yard with the help of his strength, running all the way without looking back.

In any case, the information here must be sent out.

Seeing the red bean warrior running away, the ghosts in the house dispersed and disappeared after a while, and the big ghost also retracted behind the idol and gradually disappeared.

In the restored land temple, it was as if nothing had happened, only a few more pieces of copper plates on the ground next to the merit box.

The statue of the Lord of the Earth on the altar is still kind and smiling.

It's just that the dark environment in the middle of the night has soaked his old man's smiling face into a weird ......
