As the sun set, more than 300 murderous black crows surrounded a village ancestral hall.

This small village has only more than 100 families, and it is not very wealthy, but this ancestral hall is quite elaborate in comparison. Although it is only a two-hall courtyard, it occupies a large area, with a whitewashed courtyard wall towering, and the roof of the main hall is covered with new green tiles, which obviously has just been renovated.

The people of the village gathered not far away, silently looking at these soldiers who had entered the village with frightened expressions, and some young people still had some anger that could not be concealed.

A villager on crutches, tremblingly accompanied Liu Tu's side of the dog and horse, his face was full of flattery, and he said respectfully: "Lord Captain, the villain has ordered the village to kill pigs and sheep to entertain all the strong men, and please raise your noble hand, don't disturb the peace of the villain's ancestors, I am grateful!"

Liu Tugou smiled kindly at the old man, revealing a mouthful of fine white teeth, but did not speak.

The veteran of the township saw this smile in his eyes, but he was even more frightened.

Ren Xichou on the side hesitated and said, "My lord, it seems to be ......."

Liu Tugou nodded when he heard this, and then he spoke: "The old thief slipped away quickly. Sang Yuan, you go in and take a look, there are any gods that shouldn't be there, all of them have been smashed!"

"Command!"

Sang Yuan glanced at the villager whose face had changed greatly, his eyes were narrow and cloudy, and his smile was hideous, and he immediately destroyed the simplicity created by the original round face and square nose, big ears and thick lips.

He stepped forward quickly, kicked open the door of the courtyard, drew his knife and walked towards the courtyard.

Seeing this, the villager raised the crutches in his hand and slammed them to the ground, and said hatefully: "Adults, villains, etc., have always been law-abiding, why are they working hard to force each other, there has never been a reason to break into people's ancestral halls and destroy people's tablets in this world!"

He said that he was about to rush into the ancestral hall with his legs raised, and he didn't watch out for a long halberd sticking out behind him, and the crescent branch on the tip of the halberd hooked his back collar, which seemed to be just a light touch, but the old man actually took a few steps back again and again, and almost sat on the ground.

The old man turned around and hugged the tip of the halberd, his fingertips were bleeding, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, obviously extremely sad and indignant: "The hatred of destroying the family and destroying the door is not shared, since the adults don't give the villains a way to live, I don't want to fight this old life today, but also to protect the ancestral heroes!"

With a buzz, the villagers not far away were talking loudly, or sad or angry, crowded towards the ancestral hall, many young people still have farm tools in their hands, and they are gradually unstable.

Liu Tugou turned his head and glanced at Xu Dongjiang, the young man with a high prestige among the black crows understood, and shouted a few times very familiarly, and immediately dozens of black crows turned their horses' heads, steel knives were unsheathed, and crossbows were wound.

There were several terrifying bangs, and the villagers in the front row immediately had a few more holes in front of their feet that were shot by crossbow arrows

The villagers were immediately deterred, and no one dared to act rashly.

"The Black Crow Guard has chased and killed the evil demons here, and there is no intention of blackmail and disturbance, the military situation is like fire, who dares to stop it, and the evil demons will be guilty of the same crime, and they will be beheaded immediately!"

Xu Dongjiang stood at the forefront, although his body was a little thin, but it was full of evil energy, and after a few short sentences, his fierce eyes looked at which villager, and the person and the people around him were so frightened that their faces were white and silent.

Seeing this, the old man of the village stopped his tears and sighed: "That's it, the villain knows that he deserves to die, and he doesn't dare to live, so he just asks the adults to let go of the old and young in the village, and don't want to prosper." As for me, a young man...... I will die my ancestors today!"

He jerked his head up, showing his skinny, skinny neck, and slammed straight into the tip of the halberd he was holding.

Seeing this, Yang Xiongji said angrily: "Do you really regard grandpa as a soldier and a bandit like that?"

A colorless aura suddenly rose from the tip of the halberd of the cold iron long halberd, shaped like a water pattern, but it was extremely powerful, not only bounced the old man's hands away, but also knocked the old man away.

Since the day when facing the terrifying aftermath of the second brother and Sun Daolin, he still charged fearlessly to death, Yang Xiongji has been sharpened several times, and he can be regarded as finding his own way of cultivation, that is, he does not pursue any gorgeous and dazzling moves and divine will, but only seeks a word of strength, so as to be able to break all obstacles for the second brother one day.

The pitiful appearance of the old man made Liu Tugou a little touched, and he raised his hand and waved, and it was also an invisible energy that stabilized the old man's figure.

The second master still smiled kindly, and comforted: "The old man should not be sad and afraid, the captain of this school is not an unreasonable person, except for the evil demon god position, he will never dare to offend the ancestral tablet, as for the great crime of exterminating the clan of the private obscene shrine and wild sacrifice, I should not have seen it." ”

Shinto things are very important, the Great Zhou court is very strict with the control of folk sacrifices, and the wild god sacrifices that have not been decreed are particularly hated, and as the protector of the country, the Grain Temple is only allowed to set fire to the state officials and not allow the people to light the lamps.

The villager couldn't believe it when he heard this, and hesitated: "What the adults said is true?"

In his opinion, this kind of private sacrifice confined to the clan in a small village can actually be a big or small crime, if it falls into the ears of the county lord, the kinder may just laugh it off, and most of the people who are greedy for money can also make a big deal small, but today these soldiers who don't know where they come from are not easy to deal with, although they are not the red-clothed divine army punished by the gods of the valley on behalf of the heavens, but just looking at this ominous black robe, it is not a good person.

Seeing Liu Tugou nodding, the old man hurriedly knelt down with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "Such a great grace is recreated, and the villain will definitely do his best to worship!"

Liu Tugou was a little helpless, no longer paying attention to the poor old man, turned his head and asked: "Brother Ren, my hometown is not prosperous, and I have rarely heard of these things since I was a child, why are private sacrifices in the north so rampant?"

Ren Xichou said with a smile: "There are many wars in the north, naturally there are many demons, and the people are naturally willing to take big risks in order to seek a safe protection, not to mention that some ghosts and gods who are sacrificed to incense are originally local martyrs who died in battle, and the merit is not enough to seek the official seal of the imperial court, and then people will take risks." ”

"Oh, then why is the imperial court so jealous and even hostile to Shinto? It seems that even the behemoth of the Ceres Temple has extremely limited power, and the red-clothed priests in the capital rarely set foot in the place, and even if they go on patrol, they cannot directly interfere in local religious affairs. ”

Ren Xichou pondered for a moment and replied, "Actually, the Demon Gate has a lot of research on Shinto, but some of the statements are too absurd and bizarre to verify their authenticity. ”

Liu Tugou was interested: "Oh? ”

"Legend has it that in ancient times, Shinto was extremely prosperous, because gods and men lived together, and holy miracles could be seen, so they had great power to be worshiped by mortals, and in turn to give protection, and now many gods and demons in the religious scriptures claim to have been inherited at that time. Later, the Xuanyuan Holy Emperor swept the world, set the rules, and the gods and people were clearly distinguished, and the royal power overpowered the divine power, and Shinto gradually declined. ”

Ren Xichou paused, and continued: "This is a battle of authority, even if the Ceres Temple is originally from the Ji family, it will not be too popular with the imperial court, if it is not for those red clothes to contain and suppress other major sects, I am afraid that the Ceres Temple will be even more suppressed." ”

Liu Tugou was puzzled: "It's good to suppress the big sects with a large army or a master who raises them, why do you still rely on this unpopular Protector Sect, and you are not afraid of raising tigers?"

"Naturally, Shinto is suppressed by Shinto, which is a last resort. ”

Seeing that Liu Tugou's doubts increased, Ren Xichou didn't sell Guan Zi, and said with a smile: "My lord, Shinto is not just as simple as monks and Taoists building temples to store believers' incense, what is raised in this way is just some powerful ghosts, which can only be used to watch the family nursing home." What has really become a climate is actually luck. ”

"Look at those saints with high surnames and ancient great sects, such as the Lingshan of the Daomen, the Lotus Peak of the Buddha's Garan Temple, and the Hidden Mountain Gate of the Southern Sect of the Demon Gate, which of these wealthy lords does not occupy the blessed land of Zhong Lingyuxiu? Among them, there are many doors, and luck is the most important asset to achieve supernatural powers and even become a Buddha and an ancestor. The so-called World Divine Power Theory Conference, to put it bluntly, I am afraid that everyone sits down and breaks their wrists to determine the ownership of the world's luck. ”

"If you want to come to your humble position, the Yangquanzi exercises are subtle and the means are extremely high, and what you want must be luck. However, he was afraid of being discovered by the enemy, so he has been working hard for 200 years, but he was broken by us, and this hatred is not small. ”

Liu Tugou heard this, and his heart moved: "Yes, isn't there such a mysterious sect as Yinshan Xuanzong entrenched in Yinshan Mountain, if it weren't for Ah Wei's interception of Sancheng Yinshan Dragon Qi, I am afraid that Helan Changchun is very likely to achieve supernatural powers and become the new Khan of the next generation of Yinshan and even the new Khan of Helan Wang's account." What is this little enmity of Yang Quanzi, the cause and effect between the second master and Yinshan Xuanzong is called a big one!"

Just thinking about it, Sang Yuan had already come out of the ancestral hall, walked to Liu Tugou and replied: "Second master, except for some strange and obviously irregular placement of spiritual seats, I didn't find any gods with special names, and I have smashed them all. ”

The villager hurriedly asked: "This lord, you said some, how much was smashed?"

Sang Yuan smiled fiercely at him: "You also heard the adult's previous orders, and I just said it, all of them!"

The old man reacted, shook violently a few times, and suddenly fainted.

Liu Tugou was a little helpless, and just now he swore to the old man that he would fart in a blink of an eye.

He dismounted and picked up the old man, and crossed over to wake him up with a warm aura.

This villager was extremely sad and indignant, with tears in his eyes and trembling lips, but he was afraid of the fierceness of these soldiers, and he didn't dare to have a seizure, and he was really pitiful to look at.

Liu Tugou sighed secretly in his heart, compared to those spiritual positions carved in wood, the slightest bit of luck that was sucked away by Yangquanzi was the heaviest loss for this small village.

He stood in front of the ancestral hall for a long time, not just talking about Shinto with Ren Xichou, but peeling back the cocoon, sensing the changes in the aura around him with a keen sense of spirituality, and had already discovered the escape direction of Yangquanzi.

Although Sang Yuan's approach was rude, it was the right thing to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he didn't want to blame, the old man was a poor person and hateful, so it was good to teach him a lesson, so as not to affect the whole clan one day.

Liu Tugou got back on his horse and sighed towards Ren Xichou: "The cunning rabbit is not only three holes, this sheep old devil is really cunning, in order to be safe, he actually uses a fake name, so tireless, cautious, no wonder he can survive for two hundred years without being discovered, I am afraid that I don't know how many such situations there will be next, I am afraid that before he is suppressed, the reputation of our black crow guard will be stinky." ”

Ren Xichou smiled and asked, "Then are you still chasing?"

Liu Tugou laughed: "The second master does things, but he doesn't regret it!"

The horse's hooves rumbled, shaking the four fields.
