"This ......

"This, this, this ......"

The little Taoist priest was flustered for a while, and he was at a loss.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a burst of heat in his arms, as if it was caused by the dozen or so copper coins he had just put in his arms, so he hurriedly put his hand into his arms and took out the money.

Sure enough, the money is hot.

But this money feels hot through the clothes, how can you just hold it in your hands?

"Ahh

The little Taoist priest was in a hurry, so he immediately threw the money out.

This money is really hot.

I threw it really hard.

More than a dozen copper coins were suddenly thrown into the air, one after another, some hit the hanging red and windbreaker, some fell on the altar, and some jingled and rolled down, rolling all over the ground, but as long as these copper coins were touched with combustibles, they suddenly exploded and burned.

"Canopy ......"

"Canopy ......"

"Canopy ......"

Flame after flame exploded in the temple, illuminating everything in the temple at dusk.

The little Taoist priest still doesn't understand, it's all the ghost of the Taoist in front of him.

"You, you, you......"

The little Taoist priest turned his head to look at Song You, and wanted to accuse him, but just thinking about it casually, he knew that this Taoist person was something he couldn't afford to provoke, so he hurriedly ran out.

"It's on fire!

"It's on fire!

"Master! Someone is setting fire to the crowd!

"Senior brother! I'm going to call Master!

"Master!

"Master is gone!"

The two little Taoist priests hurriedly met in the courtyard, both of them were teenagers, their faces were full of panic, and the older ones were not only panicked, but also a little more angry.

"Why is it on fire?"

"Someone set it on fire."

"Who dares to set fire to my Lei Qingguan?"

"It's the Taoist priest who came in just now......"

At this time, a raging fire had already burned in the temple, and I didn't know how the fire burned so quickly, and in just such a short time, the entire palace had already burned.

Not only was the architectural structure of the palace burned to the point of almost collapse and damage, but the statues of the gods cast from the clay were even more burned red.

At this time, Song You stood at the door of the temple and looked at the statue in the temple.

The three-flowered cat had also come to the door from the courtyard, and its two front paws pulled at the high threshold, raising its head and staring at him, as if it was worried that he would be burned, and did not want to call him.

"Boom ......"

A pillar collapsed, and sparks flew in all directions.

Song You turned around at this time, and his eyes just met the two little Taoist priests outside.

"This is a ...... person"

The older little Taoist priest was not small, and he had the courage to question the person at the door, but he saw the fire soaring into the sky, sparks flying, and the wind and fire stirred the hair and clothes of this person, but they could not damage it in the slightest, and the statues in the temple behind him had been burned to the ground and collapsed, and they were everywhere.

The little Taoist priest's words were stuck.

"How?"

The young Taoist said aloud.

"You, you, you, ......," the little Taoist priest reacted at this time, "I'm waiting for you to be kind enough to let you in, and I am also a cultivator, what grievances do I, I Lei Qingguan have with you, and you want to set fire to my Taoist temple?" ”

"Do you know that the two masters are careless about people's lives outside for the sake of their own cultivation?"

"How is that possible?" The older little Taoist priest's eyes suddenly widened with anger, "My master has been practicing here for many years, and he has helped many people under the mountain, how can he do such evil things?" ”

"No way! What we have learned is the Taoist classics, and the people we serve are also the gods of the thunder department, and the master's spells and cultivation are also natural, how can there be a saying that the practice of grass and human life is true? ”

"Not only is human life careless, but it is carefully designed so that people will die with resentment."

"Hugh is slandered!"

"Although my master collects a lot of money, it is also for purity, over the years, he has gone down the mountain every year to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons for others, how can he be the wicked person you say?"

Although the two were afraid, they also stared at Song You.

Song You also looked at them, and after a while, he showed a smile:

"That's right."

After speaking, he stepped forward and walked out of the temple.

The cat stared up, and hurriedly followed.

"There should be some money in the view, take some for yourself, and then go away, and don't take anything else that shouldn't be taken."

A man and a cat walked through the yard and passed by two little Taoist priests.

"Boom!"

The temple was so hot that it almost rushed out of the door.

For a moment, the entire temple was filled with flames, and I only felt a heat wave coming, and the light was dazzling, lighting up the night in the mountains.

……

A moment later, behind the Taoist temple.

A middle-aged Taoist man in a clean Taoist robe fell to the ground softly, his face was pale, his anger was like a gossamer, and even his eyes were closed, if it weren't for the fact that his chest was still rising and falling slightly, it would be no different from death. His right hand had been severed from his wrist and was bleeding profusely.

A swordsman stood beside him with a sword, his clothes torn from his waist, and a large patch of blood stained red.

Not far away, a jujube red horse grazes quietly.

The black horse stood honestly behind his master.

Song You walked over and looked at the swordsman's waist:

"Hurt under your foot?"

"Some minor injuries." The swordsman said indifferently, and pointed at the middle-aged Taoist beside him with his sword, "This person is quite cunning, although he thinks that it is impossible for us to come to find him, but he has also prepared in advance, leaving some insects on the mountain at the back gate of the Taoist temple in advance." When Shu intercepted him, he only cared about chopping the insects flying in front of him to death, but he was careless, and he didn't expect that there were a few on the grass behind him. ”

"This bug is poisonous."

"Sir, rest assured, thanks to Mr. Shu's blessing, Shu has made some progress in the way of the sword, although it is not yet possible to talk about entering the way with martial arts, but there are also some extraordinary." Shu Yifan said, "Knowing that this insect is poisonous, but the toxin can't spread in a short time, Shu has quickly ripped off the flesh, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

"That'll be fine."

Song You nodded and looked at the Taoist on the ground.

"I heard that Daoyou has been practicing in Lei Qingguan for many years, and he has also helped many people under the mountain, but I don't know how he got on this road?"

"In the hands of Daoyou, Daoyou will never spare the poor Daoist anymore......" The Taoist on the ground still closed his eyes and said weakly, "Since this is the case, if you want to kill or chop, Daoyou please take care of yourself......"

"Is there any regret at the foot?"

"What's the use of talking about that......"

"That's right." Song You nodded, "What you have done here is really a crime that cannot be punished." It stands to reason that Zai Xia is not qualified to judge Zuxia, but since the foot fell into the hands of Zaixia, he did not dare to hand over his foot to the government with the ability of his foot, and besides, with the current injury of his foot, he may not be able to go to the government. Thinking that Zuxia has been on the mountain for many years and has done some good deeds for the people under the mountain, he asked Zuxia to choose for himself, whether he wants to lose his soul or die naturally. ”

“……”

"Don't you choose?"

“……”

The Taoist on the ground was silent for a long time, and then he fell his head down, and could see the fire that was not far away, and then he said: "Poor Dao has practiced on the mountain for half his life, so let Poor Dao die on this mountain......

He naturally couldn't see it from this angle, and a smile appeared on the face of the Taoist in front of him.

"Is it really a Taoist priest on the mountain?"

"Could it be that there can be fake?"

"I'm curious."

“……”

The Taoist on the ground became weaker and weaker, but he still said: "Poor Dao has been cultivating on the mountain with his master since he was a child, although we Lei Qingguan don't know spells, but we also sincerely serve the gods of the Heavenly Palace and concentrate on studying the Taoist scriptures. However, later on, the northern steppe tribes invaded one after another, creating many homeless people, who were more terrible than locusts, and our Taoist temple was robbed, and the poor Taoist master was starved to death......

Halfway through the sentence, I breathed a sigh of relief:

"Later, the poor Taoist left the Taoist temple, wandered into the world, like duckweed, and accidentally got some cultivation methods and spells, and after several tosses, he returned to the Taoist temple, and practiced the Taoist temple while practicing ......"

The voice of the gravedigger was very small, some words were barely audible, and some words were barely pronounced.

However, Song You still heard it clearly.

"I see."

Song You nodded, and then asked the question he was concerned about: "Does the chief officer of the Lei Department know the evil way you cultivated?" ”

"How could he know ......?"

"Then why is it only for the chief officer of the Thunder Department?"

"Heh......"

The Taoist on the ground tugged at the corners of his mouth: "The gods of the Thunder Department are all upright, jealous and hateful, and good at driving away evil spirits and destroying demons, so naturally they can only worship Fu Lei Gong." ”

"That's ......"

Song You nodded again, roughly understanding a little.

Don't look at the gods of the Heavenly Palace being rumored to be tall and majestic, it seems that each of them has great skills and virtues, but in fact, there are a lot of messy things, which is a bit similar to the human court.

It's like the gods of the thunder tribe -

The Thunder Deity is a very ancient type of deity, and people may have taken pictures of the Rolling Heavenly Power long before there was a civilization, and began to think that there were gods who mastered the power of thunder in the underworld. I don't know when the gods in charge of thunder punishment began to be born, but in short, they should be older than most gods.

Among the gods of the Thunder Department, there are also many old qualifications.

However, the gods do not get stronger and stronger as they get older, and if this is the case, there will be no Heavenly Palace of the Red Gold Emperor.

The wider the devotees, the higher the ability.

Zhou Lei Gong is one of the youngest priests of the Thunder Ministry, and there are many Thunder Priests born in the former dynasty and the former dynasty, but Fu Lei Gong, the chief official of the Thunder Ministry, is actually not ancient.

Fu Lei Gong was the chief official of the Lei Department in the previous dynasty, but unlike the road to godhood of other Lei officials, the reason why he became the chief official of the Lei Department was because he was a famous general of the previous dynasty, with a good record, and he was the confidant of the emperor of the previous dynasty, and he was named Lei Gong after his death. A few generations later, he was slowly made the chief official of the Ministry of Thunder by the later emperors for different purposes.

The imperial court decreed, the scholars proclaimed, and the people also recognized.

In fact, he is not necessarily upright, nor is he necessarily jealous and hateful, let alone discerning demons and evils, maybe compared to the Thunder Department, he would be more suitable to be a priest in the Dou Department at the beginning.

Song You looked at the gravedigger on the ground again.

The gravedigger was patient, his eyes closed, not knowing whether he was waiting for death or waiting for him to leave.

Song You is also very patient and is waiting for him to die.

But waiting, waiting, he spoke:

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I should want to take the ghosts of the Ding family's grandson and the little lady of the Cao family, one of them is yang and one is yin, and I don't know much about other things."

The gravedigger lay down and did not answer.

It seems that he has lost his words.

Most of his vitality has indeed been lost, and the blood flowing from several sword wounds and wrists on his body has stained the ground red, plus the injuries to his heart and soul last night, how can he withstand such devastation?

Song You continued:

"The foot is good at manipulating the soul, it is impossible not to know, if there is a change today, it becomes easy to become a ghost, especially a person like the foot who has a way, and he will almost definitely become a ghost after death. And Zuxia took out a heartfelt word that I didn't know if it was true or not, and moved Zaixia, just to make Zaixia believe that Zuxia sincerely wanted to die here. ”

The gravedigger suddenly opened his eyes.

But he saw the young Taoist shaking his head at him: "There is no shame and remorse in my heart, only chagrin, and what I am annoyed about is just luck." I just want to be a ghost and do it again. ”

Only then did the gravedigger show a little panic.
