Demon Realm, Palace.

The female devil Yu Die'er jumped like thunder: "Flying scorpion, waste one, I'm angry, come here, quickly spread my will, order Ma Yueming to lead his troops, at all costs, attack Huaguo, capture Tong Qing's clone alive, and recapture the lost gold!"

"Yes!"

The border of Huaguo was surging in an instant, and the war between man and demon broke out, all over the country, the mountains and rivers were broken, full of devastation, chaos and chaos, and the people were not able to make a living, and the lives were ruined.

............

Akine is an old catcher who has served in the county yamen for many years.

At the time of the war between man and demon, the yamen tree fell and scattered, and Akigen had to return to his hometown.

Akine's hometown is a small town surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are dozens of families in the town. In the center of the town, there is a towering ancient tree, next to which stands a small gray brick temple, which has become dilapidated due to the lack of management for many years.

On this day, Akine wandered after dinner, walked to the ruined temple, and saw a woman with her daughter in front of the incense table to put a fruit-incense candle, burn incense and pray. Akine knew this woman, a young widow whose husband had recently capsized and drowned on a boat to do business, leaving her and her daughter to live in a grocery store.

Akine didn't want to disturb the mother and daughter, and was about to continue walking, when he saw a man with a burden on his shoulders walking with his head down. This man has a strong figure and gloomy eyes, and for a while, Qiu Gen felt that this person was familiar, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that this person's name was Tu San. Tu San was originally from a small town, and he left the town very early to go out, but now he has returned. When Tu San passed by the small temple, he saw the mother and daughter burning incense, staring at the widow with gloomy eyes. Seeing this, Akine couldn't help frowning......

A few days later, the weather was very hot, and the people of the town came to cool off under the ancient trees, and Akigen also came, and led a craftsman to point in the small temple. A neighbor asked, "Akine, what are you doing, you want to tear down the bricks of the temple and sell them for money?"

Akine said solemnly: "I know a high monk, who once said to me that this small temple in our town is a very spiritual ancient temple, and the gods in the temple are powerful, and good and evil will be rewarded. The monk instructed me that after returning to my hometown, I must repair the ancient temple, but the silver taels needed are difficult for my family to afford, and I want to ask the neighbors to help a little. ”

There are two old men sitting under the ancient tree, one is called Qiu Laogui and the other is called Qiu Dafu.

At this time, when Qiu Laogui heard this, he laughed loudly: "A small broken temple, what kind of gods are there? You are used to eating in the yamen, and you have no way to come back, you want to think of a way to cheat everyone's money, right?" Qiu Dafu also helped: "Rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, and you can't beat the villagers' ideas if you want money!"

Akigen said angrily: "You say that it doesn't matter to me, I can't blaspheme the gods of the ancient temple, there will be retribution!"

Qiu Laogui patted his ass and stood up: "Retribution? Wow, if there is really retribution, I will donate money to you by selling pants." He said, shook the fan and left.

After a while, Qiu Laogui came back with a smile on his face, and said to Qiu Gen: "Guess what I did just now? I poured a big bubble of urine into the longan well. Didn't you say that the gods will repay good and evil, but I want to see what he gives me!"

The neighbors let out a shocked "ah" when they heard this. The longan well is a ** well, crystal clear, and the older generation says that this well is the eye of the dragon. Qiu Gen said indignantly: "You are too immoral to do this, and you will be punished!" Qiu Laogui was ashamed and walked away.

After a few days, Qiu Laogui swaggered along the town, walked to the door of Qiu Gen's house, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Qiu Ne, what about the retribution you gave me?" Qiu Gen was silent at home. The neighbors all came out to see the excitement, at this time, Qiu Dafu also came, in front of everyone, his eyebrows fluttered and said to Qiu Laogui: "What retribution, nonsense! By the way, I just caught Granny Qiu's dog to my house, put it in the dog cage and raised it first, fattened the stewed dog meat hot pot, and we drank wine." The two of them laughed happily.

The neighbors all "puffed" when they heard this. Granny Qiu is a lonely old man, a few years ago her eyes were blind, fortunately she raised a dog with a human nature, and she was led by a dog to collect firewood and carry water, and if she lost this dog, Granny Qiu had to starve to death!

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden scream like killing pigs in the lonely town, and people were awakened in their sleep.

As soon as the morning dawned, people saw Lang Zhong in the town coming out of Qiu Laogui's house, and hurriedly surrounded him to ask what was going on.

Lang Zhong said: "Last night, Qiu Laogui suddenly had a strange illness, sores and pus in his lower body, with my experience, it is difficult to cure, I am afraid that I will be tortured to death." ”

Everyone was stunned and was discussing, Qiu Dafu's wife stumbled over, grabbed Lang Zhong and said: "Go and see Dafu, he is evil!" Qiu Dafu's wife said that last night, Qiu Dafu slept early, and in the second half of the night, a lightning flashed outside the window, and the sleeping Qiu Dafu suddenly rolled out of bed, crawling on the ground like a dog, barking wildly at a little movement, and in the early morning, he crawled into the dog cage again, and Qiu Dafu's dog grabbed food. In a word, he has become an authentic dog.

When Lang Zhong heard this, he said with a solemn face: "I'm not going, his illness is not something that Lang Zhong can cure!"

Neighbors, you look at me, I look at you, and they all raise their heads and shout to the sky: "Retribution is coming, retribution is coming!"

On this day, the neighbors and Akine came to the ancient tree together to discuss the repair of the small temple.

Qiu Laogui's wife helped Qiu Laogui to come, and as soon as she came, she knelt down and kowtowed to everyone, saying that their family had re-scooped the water from the Longyan Well, and asked the stonemason to make a smooth stone and inlay it at the mouth of the well.

Immediately after, Qiu Dafu's wife also came, saying that they took Granny Qiu to the house, served her with good tea and food, and sent her to the end of her old age.

Akine nodded and said, "If you know it, you can change it, and the gods know it." ”

It's really spiritual, after three days, Qiu Laogui's illness was cured as before, and Qiu Dafu also changed from a dog to a human overnight.

The people of the town believed that the small temple really had gods, and the gods would listen to what everyone said, and the gods would watch what they did.

On this day, a young man with clear eyebrows came to the town, he was Qiu Wenyuan, the son of Qiu Laogui, who was studying in the county school hall, and the school was forced to close due to the war between man and demon, so he had to go home.

Wenyuan entered the town, and the town was quiet, only the ancient temple was full of people and incense. Wen Yuan shook his head and said, "Ignorance, ignorance!"

While he was sighing, a villager recognized him and shouted, "Big nephew, are you back?"

Wen Yuan pointed to the small temple and said, "What age is it, do you still believe in these mud bodhisattvas?"

The villager hurriedly covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense, your father just doesn't believe it, he got retribution, and he almost won't see you!"

Folks, you say a word, he says a word, and he talks about the cause and effect, which makes Wenyuan doubtful.

Wen Yuan returned home, and when he was eating, he couldn't help but ask Qiu Laogui: "Dad, I heard that you did bad things and suffered retribution, is it true?"

Qiu Laogui drank a few glasses of wine, was already a little drunk, and said with a smile: "Nonsense, will your father do bad things? I won't hide it from you, it is a play co-starred by your Uncle Qiugen, Uncle Dafu and your father......"

Wen Yuan didn't say a word, put down his job and walked out. He walked quickly to the small temple, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and almost everyone in the town came.

Wen Yuan stood at the door of the small temple and said loudly: "Everyone listen, I want to reveal a shocking secret to you!"

Then, Wen Yuan told all about his father's acting with Qiu Gen and Qiu Dafu, and finally said: "There is no divine retribution in this world at all, only people who pretend to be gods and ghosts!"

Everyone looked at each other and said in surprise: "It turned out to be fake, and we lost the money to repair the temple in vain!"

Wenyuan's resentment was still gone, and he came to Akine's house again. Qiu Gen was sick and was lying on the bed, Wen Yuan said with a tiger face: "The war between people and demons, you can't go on with the yamen, you don't regret it when you come back, but you make up some gods to fool the villagers!"

Akigen was about to speak, but Wen Yuan continued: "Tell you, I exposed your acting in front of the whole town, young and old! Tomorrow, I will go and demolish the temple, sell bricks, tiles and wood, and return the money donated by the villagers." ”

When Akigen heard this, it was like five thunderbolts, he struggled to get up, and yelled at Wenyuan: "Get out of the way, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" He picked up a wooden stick by the door and staggered outside.

Akine ran to the widow's grocery store, panting but unstoppable.

Not far from the grocery store, suddenly, Akine heard a scream, only to see the widow's daughter running out bloodless, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Come on, Tu San killed my mother!"

Qiu Gen was excited, quickened his pace, and saw the grocery store from a distance, only to see Tu San carrying a cloth bag and walking out of the shop casually. He was splattered with a drop of blood, and just now he had brutally raped and killed the widow and plundered the silver jewels.

Akine waved his stick and shouted, "Stop!"

Tu San glanced at Qiu Gen, looking like no one was around. Most of the people in the town are old, weak, women and children, and in the eyes of him, an outlaw, they are just some ants, and he can strangle whoever he wants. He ignored Akine, only looked ahead and said, "The little rabbit is running so fast!" He wants to chase the little girl and cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

Who is Tu San? He's a wanted fugitive. Back then, after he left the town, he joined the gang and became a robber, and when Akigen was a quick catcher, he also participated in the arrest, but Tu San was ruthless and his whereabouts were secretive, so how easy was it to arrest him? Later, the world was in turmoil, and Tu San thought that in the troubled times, where would anyone pay attention to his affairs, so he showed up and returned home in a grand manner.

When he returned to the town, the young and beautiful widow became the prey in Tu San's eyes, and was about to rob the money, but when he saw the vivid retribution of the ancient temple, he was afraid and hesitated to do it. Who knew that later, Wen Yuan exposed the secret of "retribution" in public, and Tu San also heard it when he was present, and he laughed happily at the sky three times.

Tu San turned around and went home, put on a sharp knife, went straight to the widow's residence, and dragged the widow when he entered the door.

The widow fought for her life, Tu San didn't say a word, took out a knife, and raped and killed the widow.

The widow's daughter fled for her life and instinctively ran in the direction of the small temple.

The little girl ran into the small temple, she often followed her mother to burn incense in the temple, and knew that there was a hidden hole behind the incense case, so she drilled out of the small hole.

Tu San saw the little girl running into the small temple from a distance, and chased after her quickly, but he didn't see anyone, he yelled "come out" while messing around. Finally, Tu San found the hidden hole, but he couldn't get through, and in a rage, he turned around, lifted the heavy incense platform, and pushed it through the small hole in the back wall.

I only heard a "bang", the back wall of the small temple collapsed, and a bluestone bar fell from the sky and smashed heavily on Tu San's head, Tu San's body was paralyzed, and then, a ridge wood on the top of the temple broke, fell down, and the wooden teeth pointed like a sharp blade were inserted into Tu San's legs.

At this moment, Akine arrived, he raised the wooden stick and hit Tu San on the knee hard, Tu San curled up on the ground like a dog and wailed.

Akine said: "The crime you have committed is not enough to cut off a few heads, but unfortunately, I don't have official documents, so I can't torture you! However, your legs are useless, and you can only crawl on the ground like a dog in the future!"

At this time, Wen Yuan also rushed over, and he stared at him in surprise.

Akine said to him: "What your father said is true, the so-called retribution is a play we co-starred. In these years of war and chaos, Wang Fa is like waste paper, what can he use to deter lawbreakers and protect his fellow villagers? Only by making some lawless people believe that there are gods three feet above their heads, and they will be punished for doing bad things, they will not dare to do anything wrong and harm innocent people!"

Wen Yuan listened, lowered his head and pondered......
