Shucun, Sangu Temple.

As the name suggests, this is the temple of the Three Girls.

In the center of the main hall's altar, there are three goddesses standing. There are many statues of gods around, large and small, the smallest is less than a foot high. Anyway, there is only such a temple in the village, so naturally it has to be based on

It is mainly dedicated to Sangu, but anyone who wants to worship any god can move into the temple.

Lin Jue was offering incense sincerely below.

"Thank you so much for sending me off in the first place, and thank you to my third aunt for protecting the peace of the village during this turmoil."

Lin felt that after finishing the incense, he turned around.

Some exclamations came from outside the temple.

Lin Jue walked to the temple door and took a look——

Under the tree covered with red cloth strips, my junior sister was still wearing her Taoist robe, holding a sword in one hand and pushing the palm with the other, and suddenly pushed out a pillar of fire, and a group of village children were surrounding her.

This group of children usually only heard some stories about monks and immortals told by the village elders. They never saw real magic, so they naturally exclaimed in surprise.

"There's more!"

The junior sister cast another spell, turned around and transformed into a stone sculpture.

"Wow……"

The children were even more surprised.

The stone sculpture turned back into a human body, and the junior sister also smiled, seeming to be able to share some of the joy and innocence of these children.

I just looked up and saw that my senior brother had come out.

"We're leaving."

The junior sister had no choice but to say goodbye to these children.

In just such a short period of time, not only did children regard her as a god, but some even knelt down to worship her as a teacher. Naturally, they were reluctant to let the god leave.

However, Lin Jue had stayed in the village for three days.

Three days is neither too long nor too short. If it is too short, it will seem too hasty. If it is too long, I will worry about Master Guanzhong, so it will be time to leave.

Although the family members did not have the talent to practice Taoism, Lin Jue still taught them the simplest breathing method. If they can persevere, not to mention prolonging their lives and living more comfortably in old age, it will be no problem. If troubled times come and they encounter some ghosts,

, or some evil spirits that cause people pain, can still be resisted.

In addition, on the way from Gongcun to Shucun, Lin Jue and his junior sister defeated demons and got some money. Lin Jue also left his share at home to supplement the family income.

At this time, after paying homage to the third aunt, saying goodbye to the children, they went out.

His cousin still came to see him off, reluctant to leave him.

"There's no need to send it away, cousin."

"OK."

"Live a good life and have children from now on. If the world becomes chaotic, don't leave Shucun lightly. If a war breaks out here, run to the mountains."

"knew."

"Since I have gone up the mountain to practice Taoism, there is not much place in the secular world below the mountain where I can help give back to my fellow villagers. But if you encounter monsters and cannot deal with them, you can come to me at Fuqiu Peak of Yishan Mountain."

Lin Jue left the last sentence and turned around.

Take out the paper donkey, say a spell, and it will turn into a gray donkey.

The two brothers and sisters rode away on donkeys.

"Senior brother, everyone in your village seems to be very kind to you." The younger junior sister couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"There is a school in the village and they advocate Confucianism, so they are very particular about their conduct." Lin Jue said, "They are very kind to me."

"Hey! There are willow trees at the entrance of this village!"

"What?"

Lin Jue was confused for a moment.

The little junior sister then said to him: "Have you forgotten the poem that Sixth Senior Brother asked the immortal to write for the first time in front of us?"

Only then did Lin Jue remember.

At this time, there is also a breeze swaying the willows.

The donkey gradually walked away.

…

In just a few days, the journey back will be completely different from the journey back.

On the way here, there were countless goblins and ghosts causing trouble. Most of them took orders from the Demon King, or imitated and committed crimes to gain profits. Even though the offensive and defensive battle between the God King and the Demon King had ended, it did not stop immediately.

At this moment, the news of the demon king's defeat probably came. Knowing that the demon king ordered them to start a turmoil was not because the time had come to rise up and establish the demon kingdom, but to coordinate with the demon king, so naturally they all stopped. There was no stopping.

Most of them have been wiped out.

Therefore, in a trance, there is a somewhat peaceful scene.

Especially in autumn, the air is crisp and the mountains are covered with golden colors. Walking on the quiet mountain road, listening to the chirping of birds and the voices of my junior sisters, it feels like a trip, so beautiful and leisurely.

This leisurely mood lasted until the last few days.

Seeing that we were not far away from the Fuqiu Peak of Yishan Mountain, the donkey's feet were faster than humans, and they could return to the mountain in about a day or two. I wanted to see if the brothers were injured, worried, and how hungry they were. Unexpectedly, they caught up.

There was an autumn rain and there was a bit of chill.

The two of them also got caught in the rain.

The second uncle said that the paper donkey had undergone extra treatment and it would be okay if it got wet with a little rain. However, the two of them naturally cherished such a good treasure and put it away as soon as it rained.

Autumn rain fell on the mountains, and thin smoke rose from the colorful forest. Two Taoists were walking in the rain with a white fox.

After not walking far, I saw a city ahead.

But there is a temple outside the city, standing in the mist.

The two walked over to take a look.

"Qingdi Temple."

There is a couplet below the door plaque:

Flowers are always there all year round;

Colorful colors are always spring.

There were also a few pedestrians on the road, but they were all wearing raincoats. They were not as anxious to take shelter from the rain as the two of them were, so they all hurried towards the city.

"Folks! Is this Luosu County ahead?"

"Exactly!"

"Thank you!"

Lin Jue thought to himself that it was true.

This Qing Emperor is not the Qing Hua Emperor, but rather older. He is the God of Sichun and Hundred Flowers in myths and legends, and his divine power only exists here.

It is said that in ancient times, he had been the chief god for hundreds of years. However, with the change of dynasties, the status of the god fluctuated, and he lost his status as the highest chief god and was demoted to a secondary worship god.

There is very little incense now.

This place is the dojo of Emperor Yujian. There will be statues of Emperor Qinghua in larger palaces and temples, but there will never be a temple dedicated to Emperor Qinghua. However, Emperor Qinghua has his own temple. He should be

The gods that Second Master Uncle mentioned were revered as emperors but lacked the power of the ancient powers.

It's just that his old man's temples are few.

Lin Jue had only heard of one, and it was this one in Luosu County——

In Danxun County at that time, in order to save the peach demon, the Wei family came here to ask for the Qingdi Talisman. When I was in Li Village a few days ago, I also heard that someone from Li Village came here to take refuge.

If you want to come here, it's not far from Pear Village.

"Brother, the rain has stopped."

"Although the rain has stopped, the road is still muddy." Lin Jue said, "I have a certain fate with the Qing Emperor and the Qing Emperor Temple. It just so happens that it costs money to stay overnight in the city, so let's stay overnight in this temple."

"OK."

The junior sister looked towards this small temple.

The temple is really small and there is not necessarily a place to stay.

But the senior brother has already knocked on the door.

"Tuk tuk..."

"Who?"

Soon someone came to open the door.

He was a rather obese middle-aged man with a dark complexion, but there was joy in the corners of his eyes. He couldn't help but be surprised when he saw two Taoist priests outside the door.

"you……"

"Tiaozhu, it's polite." Lin Jue said with a Taoist salute, "We are Taoists practicing in Yishan. It rained on the way back to the mountain. I happened to have heard of the name of the Qingdi Temple and Miaozhu before, so I wanted to come.

I would like to offer a stick of incense to the emperor in the temple, and ask for a shelter from the wind and rain so that I can spend the night better."

"You're just here to stay overnight, right?"

The temple blessings were not polite, but rather cheerful.

"It is true that I have a fate with the emperor, and I would like to offer you a stick of incense." Lin Jue said truthfully.

"It's okay, it's okay! There are usually a lot of people who come to our Qingdi Temple to stay overnight. There were monsters outside some time ago, and many villagers came. The temple is almost crowded." Miao Zhu opened the door, "Normally I

The cost of staying here is fifty cents a night, and you can catch the emperor's immortal energy. Not to mention rejuvenation, you can also look a few years younger. I'm in a good mood today, and you are Taoist priests and can be considered practitioners, so I won't accept it.

.”

"Then thank you for the temple blessing."

As expected, Lin Jue thanked him.

The junior sister’s eyes widened——

Fifty cents? Staying in an inn in the city, with a bed and quilt, is not that expensive, and they even give you a bucket of hot water to wash your feet.

The two finally entered the temple.

Qingdi Temple and Sangu Temple are about the same size and have similar layouts. There is a small courtyard at the entrance, with trees and fish and turtles. There are some scattered copper coins inside, and some red cloth strips are hung on the trees.

Directly opposite is the main hall, which houses the statue of the Qing Emperor. There are two side halls on the left and right, which house the gods that people often worship these days. There is also a hut outside the yard where the temple worshipers eat and sleep.

It had just rained, and it was muddy outside, but inside the temple was a bluestone floor. When the rain stopped, water accumulated, reflecting the sky, tree branches, and two Taoists who came to pray.

Taoists are polite, and temples are generous.

"If you want to offer incense, just go ahead! Each incense in my temple costs ten cents. Even though you are Taoist priests, you still have to pay for it. You can put it in the box yourself!"

The junior sister was shocked again——

Ten cents for a stick of incense?

Not to mention that in many Taoist temples where there are true gods, ordinary Taoist priests make their own incense for free, and only rely on pilgrims to provide it voluntarily. Even if you buy it outside, an ordinary incense stick is not so expensive.

"If you stay the night tonight, don't sleep in the main hall in the middle, so as not to disturb the purity of my ancestors. The two small halls on the left and right have doors and windows, and there is no leakage of wind or rain. You can sleep wherever you want."

Miao Zhu said, as if he just saw the fox behind him:

"Huh? What is this?"

"It's my white fox."

"The whole body is snow-white, one of the legs is brown, and the tip of the tail is red, it must not be an ordinary thing!" Miao Zhu said, looking at them carefully, "It seems that you are also practicing!"

After hearing this, the fox couldn't help but lower his head, look at the muddy water on his feet, stretch out his feet and shake them.

Lin Jue said: "We came down the mountain just to get rid of the demon."

"Ouch?"

Miao Zhu was a little surprised, but he didn't take it seriously. He seemed to have some happy event. Under the happy event, nothing was a big deal anymore. He just waved his hands and said, "That's all. We are all practitioners, so I won't exempt you from it."

It’s a lot of money to buy incense, but just save it and be sincere. This fox should take care of itself and don’t let it go.”

"Thank you."

Lin Jue thanked him first, then stared at his face and asked curiously: "Is it possible that fellow Taoist practitioners are also practitioners?"

"Sincerely offer sacrifices to God, but practice haphazardly."

"I see."

Lin Jue couldn't tell that he had any kind of spiritual practice, but the door was black, with a bit of metallic luster in the black, and there was a faint smell of elixirs on his body, but it made him feel a little familiar.

I frowned and thought for a while before I figured it out.

Yes——

It looks a bit like the monk from Songyin Temple!

Is there anything in common?

Lin Jue looked at the statue of Qing Emperor again and felt confused: "I wonder what kind of happy event the temple Zhu said just now is a happy event?"

"If you don't believe me even after I say it, why bother saying more."

"This is wrong. Although our practice is shallow, our practice in Yishan is also an orthodox inheritance. We have seen gods, monsters, and many strange things. What can't we believe?"

"Have you seen gods too!?" Miao Zhu was surprised.

"Of course it is. The scenery and aura of Yishan Mountain is unparalleled in the world, and the mysterious fairy aura is unparalleled among thousands of mountains. The spirit of Yishan Mountain is an extraordinary existence, and it is no worse than the Yili Shenjun. Only by being protected by him can we be in this world.

I practiced peace of mind in Yishan and often worshiped him. I was fortunate enough to see the true appearance of the divine body."

Lin Jue smiled and said to the temple blessing:

"Besides, if there is any happy event, it will be a bit less if you keep it in your heart. If you tell it, it will not only make you happier, but we can also be happy for you."

This is correct.

If there is any happy event, how can it be suppressed? If there is a happy event and you don't tell others, wouldn't it be the same as walking at night in brocade clothes?

"Then Yili Shenjun is just the true king under Emperor Yujian, how can he compare with my emperor? Haha! But since you are knowledgeable, it doesn't hurt to tell you!" Miao Zhu said to him with a smile, "I am very fast.

Just ask for immortality, practice your true form, and become an immortal. When you worship gods from now on, maybe there will be a statue of me in the corner, hahaha!"

"Um?"

Lin Jue looked at him and became more convinced.

Is this person also taking the "Elixir of Immortality"?

But the Demon King has...

At least it was a defeat.
Chapter completed!
