The gods who are good at subduing demons and eliminating demons and doing things use the temple statues to guard this place and block the snow field, which not only prevents the snow field demon king from continuing to spread and expand, but also warns the demons to go out.

With the help of the supernatural powers of the innate gods, the Heyuan Valley, which is two hundred miles from east to west and two hundred and fifty miles from north to south, has been turned into snow, with four seasons like winter and snow all year round, so as to weaken the power of the thunder god here.

Although the god of the thunder department has divine power, it also needs to rely on the power of the sky, the rotation of the four seasons, the change of seasons, and many favorable times and places have an impact on the gods.

Thunderbe Masami has always been strong in summer and weak in winter.

In addition, the gods have one more limit-

The innate gods came from the earthly realm, and they were trapped in the earthly realm.

The acquired gods are born by faith and are limited to faith.

It is difficult for local gods such as Wang Shangong, local shrine gods, and Liu Xian to leave their own realm, and after leaving, they will quickly weaken or even lose their divine power.

And a god like Lei Gong in the heavenly palace seems to be the size of the world and can be visited in an instant, but in fact, only in places where there are their own temples and statues can they have the ability to come and go freely, and they can only appear with the help of gods. If there is no temple statue, you should show yourself from the nearest temple statue, and then rush over by your own means, depending on your ability.

In the same way, the farther away from the faith, the fewer believers there are, and the power of the gods will gradually weaken.

Therefore, if the gods want to go from one place to another, from one country to another, they often need to preach and spread their faith first.

This is also the reason why the Heavenly Way does not allow humane immortality, but allows Shinto to live forever, and practitioners want to seek immortality, if they are really forced to do so like Yan Xian, they don't want to go through the way of Shinto.

First, Shinto immortality is similar to living a few hundred more years as a ghost after death, which is very different from being immortal as a human being, and it is neither free nor comfortable. Second, Shinto immortality relies on incense believers, built on the basis of belief in gods and widely believed by mortals, whether it is true immortality, and how long you can live in the hearts of the people depends on how long you can live, after all, it is not easy to cause chaos.

So the big demon of the snow field continued to send demons out, causing chaos in Hezhou, reducing the number of believers, and the latest time, it was somehow secretly spread the plague, almost turning Han Shu and even the entire county into a no-man's land.

Just as he was thinking about it, a thunderous voice came from the altar again:

"Is there a way for Fulongguan?"

"Is this Mizusawa Spirit easy to find?"

"It's hard to find, but it's not that you can't find it. Most of the time he spends his time in the Eye of the Ground Ze, where he was born, but when the war starts, he often runs everywhere. ”

"I'll give it a try later."

"If you really go to eliminate the demon and fight with it, Zhou is also willing to lead all Lei Gong to help you together!"

"It seems that the next head of the Lei Department is none other than Zhou Lei Gong."

"Humph......"

Zhou Leigong smiled and didn't say anything.

Although the previous top boss was beheaded at the hands of the Taoist in front of him, the previous top boss himself was also looked down upon by him and even by other thunder gods. If it weren't for the Heavenly Palace's restrictions, maybe they themselves would have to behead the chief first. The Qing officials in the mortal world still have the backbone, and they can be respected by the people as the figure of Lei Gong, how can they have no backbone? For the upright Lei Gong, the death of Fu Lei Gong can neither make them have a grudge against the Taoist, nor can it make them awe of this Taoist's ability.

However, Zhou Leigong obviously benefited from this, and he also had a lot of kindness to Song You.

"When are you going to go into the snow?"

"Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, let's wait for tomorrow."

"No matter when you enter the snow field, in short, my thunder department is always watching, if you fight with it, the lower realm will definitely help you!"

"When you need help, you will call Lei Gong in the next meeting."

"Yes!"

After Zhou Leigong finished speaking, his waist board has been sitting on the altar upright, and he was about to go back, but he inadvertently swept the afterglow, swept below, and couldn't help frowning:

"Why is there no fragrance today?"

The sound was like thunder, and the echo was rolling away.

"Lei Gong, please forgive me." Song You smiled, not in a hurry, "When I went out of the city, I didn't know that there was a Lei Gong Temple on the border of the snow field, not to mention that at this time, the cold and crisp epidemic, the people did not save three, and the doors of every house were closed, even if I wanted to buy incense for Lei Gong, I couldn't find a shop." ”

"Remember next time!"

Zhou Leigong didn't say anything, tilted his head, and returned to the original majestic posture of the statue looking at the world, and his body quickly became stiff, and he also returned to the appearance of the statue.

The divine light in the temple also dimmed.

Song You withdrew his gaze from the idol.

Turning his head and looking out, the earth was dull, the sky was muddy, and under the wind and snow, it was like dusk in the morning and evening, and I really didn't know how long it was.

It's about half the afternoon, right?

“……”

Song You casually sat down in the corner of the temple, leaned cross-legged against the wall, and said to them: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so I will wronged the two of you and spend the night here." ”

Outside, the north wind was howling, like crying.

The wonderful thing is that the temple is very calm, as if no matter how heavy the wind and snow outside, no matter how big it is, it will not be able to enter.

It was getting late, and the light of the day was getting darker.

On the plain, there is a small temple of different styles every long distance, almost connected into a line, occasionally shiny in the dark night, there are demons and evil spirits who go out at night, and are eradicated by the gods in the temple on the spot.

Tonight, however, a temple was lit with fire.

The fire is bright and yellow, illuminating a piece.

The small temple also withstood the wind and snow.

Song You took down all the dense bamboo sticks on the altar, I was afraid that the two big baskets would not fit, so he lit a fire and could burn for a while.

By the light of the fire, I had dinner.

Song You was still sitting cross-legged, his expression calm.

The three-flowered cat sat very close to the fire, staring at the fire and roasting the fire, leaving only a small back for him, and a tail behind him slapped the ground, I don't know what to think, and suddenly turned to look at the Taoist:

"Is Chinese New Year's Eve a New Year?"

Song You raised his eyes, looked at the cat, and immediately smiled: "Sanhua Niangniang is smart." ”

"Is it New Year's Day today?"

"It's the New Year these days, and after midnight tonight, it's the new year."

“……”

Sanhua Cat thought for a while, raised her paws, lowered her head and licked a few bites, and then said to him: "This year's Chinese New Year seems to be a little different." ”

"It's better to be different."

Song You sat against the wall and said to her with a smile: "It's always the same, it's not interesting, occasionally there is a different one, Sanhua Niangniang will remember it for the rest of her life." ”

"I remember the same."

"That's the Sanhua Niangniang, who never forgets it."

"Never forget ......"

"Yes."

Song You glanced at the swordsman in front of him again.

The swordsman also sat cross-legged, motionless, silent, and often thoughtful.

Song You knew that he was thinking about his kendo.

Martial arts training, for individuals, most of them rely on years of practice, most of the talent and understanding are determined to die, and what you can choose is only to practice or not.

Swordsmanship is like this, if you practice, you will advance, and if you don't practice, you will be wasted.

If it is kendo, the first half also relies on practice, swinging the sword thousands of times, and his own kendo will naturally appear. When you reach the depths, you will be enlightened. And like him, when he is on the verge of entering the Tao with martial arts, whether he can break through that barrier depends on whether he can realize the Great Dao, and heaven and man are connected.

This is undoubtedly extremely difficult.

The long night is just right to think.

The Taoist stared ahead, looking at both the fire and the Sanhua Niangniang, with the same thoughtful expression.

The innate gods of the realm of one side, relying on heaven and earth, are already difficult to eliminate, this snowfield demon has life-saving magical powers, it is simply inherently difficult to die, if the combined efforts of the thunder department and the spirit officials of the Dou Department cannot exterminate it, even if Song You goes down the mountain for five years and grows rapidly, it is impossible to kill it with brute force.

Lei Gong Zhou of the Ministry of Thunder has the power of the chief officer.

Doubu Jin Lingguan, there are few opponents in heaven and earth.

“……”

Or the cat is carefree.

Sanhua Niangniang didn't know anything about their thoughts, and for a while she turned into a girl, picked up bamboo sticks, wrote poems and practiced calligraphy on the ground, and then turned back into a cat, ran to the door to see the divine light shining in the wind and snow, and ran back to talk to the Taoist in a whisper, and ran to see the swordsman cast a different shadow on the temple wall with his hand, and the playfulness was not weakened by the wind and snow, nor was it affected by the big demon that was close at hand.

Slowly, Song You also closed his eyes.

The New Year is coming before you know it.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already early the next morning.

……

In the sixth year of Mingde, the first day of the first month.

The cold wind was howling and the snow was pouring all over the sky.

Song You stood at the door of the temple, staring north.

"Sir."

The voice of the swordsman came from behind him, and he asked, "Do you want me to go with my husband?" ”

Song You turned to look at him and smiled slightly.

Know what he's thinking—

The swordsman had been hearing about the great demon of the snow field all the way, and he heard it from the mouth of the god again yesterday, so he naturally knew his ability, and he was afraid that his following would not only be useless, but harmful.

But it is also true that they do not need to follow.

"No need."

"Okay."

"This place is already on the edge of Hezhou, right?"

"Yes."

"On that day outside the Changjing City, you and I only sent me to Hezhou, but I didn't expect to travel all over Hezhou, and it was delayed for nearly a year. Remember that you still have to go to Gwangju to find relatives, and now it seems that you will have to take a big turn back. ”

"Just to see if there are any missing or new demons." The swordsman said in a deep voice.

"Since this place is already on the edge of Hezhou, there is only one snow field, and if you send it forward, it will be sent to Yanzhou, which is really unnecessary." Song You paused, "I don't know when you plan to go to Gwangju?" ”

"Shu is waiting for Mr. to return!"

"That's just right."

Song You looked down at the Sanhua cat sitting next to his feet combing: "I'm going to trouble you and Sanhua Niangniang to take care of the horses here." ”

“？”

The three-flowered cat licked its fur and looked up at him.

"There will be demons fleeing at that time." Song You looked down at the cat, "If you go down to get rid of the demons inside, please be vigilant outside, don't let the demons hurt the horses." ”

“？”

The three-flowered cat tilted its head to stare at him, and after a while, it asked, "When will you come back?" ”

"Maybe soon, maybe for a long time."

"Maybe soon!"

"Maybe a long time."

“……”

The three-flowered cat sat on the ground, stared up at him without moving, and then looked at the horse next to him, and then said:

"Don't worry!"

"There are three flower girls, so you can rest assured."

"That's right!"

"Sir, please rest assured, Shu will take good care of Sanhua Niangniang and Ma!"

“？？”

Sanhua Mao turned his head and glanced at the swordsman a few times, then looked at the Taoist priest again, and also learned the tone of the swordsman, and his voice was soft: "Don't worry, Sanhua Niangniang will take care of Shu and the horse!" ”

"Then I will leave......

Song You smiled, stretched out his hand, and the bamboo cane flew in, and then he took the bamboo cane, and only took one step forward, and then stepped out of the small temple and stepped into the snowstorm.

Just a few steps later, as if remembering something, he stopped and turned to look at the swordsman at the door:

"I don't know if in the past year, especially after the thunder outside the Jade City on that day, you have a little understanding of the power of the heavenly thunder?"

"Mr. Hui, there is some enlightenment."

"I'm not a martial artist, and I don't know how kendo is, but I just happen to be good at thunder, so I'll talk about my understanding of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, and I just hope to give some reference."

“……”

The swordsman suddenly froze, and clenched his hands into fists:

"Shu listens!"

"Everything in the world has both positive and negative sides, and thunder is even more so. Even the heavenly thunder is not only the divine punishment of the heavenly might, behind its ten thousand powers, rolling heavenly might, but do not ignore the infinite vitality. ”

"Huh? What does this mean? ”

"It's like the spring thunder that stung the sting, killing evil things, and shaking the earth, but you also know that the vitality of this spring day began to burst out vigorously after the sting." The Taoist stood in the wind and snow and talked to him, "Perhaps the sound and light of the thunder are so loud that the world often ignores that since ancient times, thunderstorms have been followed by the season when all things grow vigorously, and the thunder in the sky is at its peak, and it is also the time when the earth is at its most vigorous." ”

The Taoist paused, looked at him and said, "So it is both death and life." ”

"Shu wrote it down!"

"What a family says, please choose and listen."

After the Taoist finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the snowstorm.

……
