Lin Jue lowered his head and looked at the fox beside him, and saw that it also raised its head to look at him. Its newly born eyes were clear and clear, and seemed to understand nothing, so the distracting thoughts in his heart were reduced.

"Don't you want to become a monster and harm others in the future..."

After saying this with emotion, seeing that its eyes were still confused and clear, as if it didn't understand, Lin Jue smiled and kept walking.

Soon we arrived at the woods at the entrance of the village.

"That's it."

Lin Jue pointed to the pit in front with traces of fire.

It was probably Zhang Da who set a fire here, causing the ground to sink somehow, and adding curses and insults, which finally angered the evil creature. This not only prompted it to be born early, but also made it resent Zhang Da.

I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, it depends on whether the Taoist from Fuqiu Peak and the divine power invited by Qi Yunshan can discover it if it doesn't come out in advance.

At this time, a villager moved a table over.

The two Taoist priests from Qiyun Mountain unpacked their luggage, one was responsible for taking it out, and the other was responsible for setting it up. They quickly set up the incense table and altar in the forest.

The still young little fox was a little tired from walking. He glanced at Lin Jue and sat down on the spot.

Lin Jue looked ahead with solemn curiosity.

I saw one person burning incense and lighting candles, another holding a pen and writing green words and green seals, and solemnly stamping the seal. Then he stepped on the steps of Yu, chanting words, calling out the name of the gods, and burned the ultimatum.

"Disciple Qi Yunshan Xuantian Guan Qingxuan, who was taught by Taoist Xujing, asked the Lord God for instructions.

"last night……

"This place is evil...dead...

"I would like to ask Lord Yili Shen to allocate additional thunder generals and lower the divine thunder to cleanse the place of evil and death!

"Please Yili Shenjun..."

Taoist Priest Qingxuan first reported his name as his disciple, then explained the whole story and asked the Lord God to allocate additional thunder generals. Then he continued to shout requests, which was somewhat similar to a mortal official requesting troops.

And this is obviously not an easy task.

There is nothing magical about this process.

According to Lin Jue’s understanding, this is indeed the case——

This is a ritual and does not require magic power.

Regardless of whether they are Taoists who have been given the urn and have names in heaven, or believers who have sincerely worshiped the gods for many years and have extremely strong spirituality, as long as they perform these rituals, burn incense and pray, the gods can hear their voices.

.Even some people with high moral standards or who are favored by the gods can still be heard by the gods when they are in a hurry, even if they omit some procedures in the ceremony.

This is how the temple blessings of many temples communicate with the gods, and they probably have no magic power at all and know nothing about spiritual practice.

As for whether ordinary people can perform these rituals...

Master had warned Lin Jue——

Please don’t try the magical rituals lightly, especially those who already have magical powers!

Lin Jue now understands the Fu Lu Sect better and better.

Compared with the Spiritual Method Sect, the Fu Lu Sect has some differences similar to the differences between court officials and martial arts warriors. The martial arts warriors practice martial arts hard and have the power to intimidate others, while officials take a different path and deal with things from

The imperial court mobilizes power. Therefore, officials do not need to be strong, talented in martial arts, or study hard for half a lifetime. They only need to have the talent to be an official and follow the official path. If necessary, they can naturally mobilize military personnel belonging to the imperial court.

Just like the officials and warriors of the day: the world now belongs to the imperial court. As long as the imperial court does not collapse, there will always be more officials than military personnel. The official path will always be easier to follow than martial arts training, and the status will be more noble. The official path is a widely recognized road.

, and although warriors are at ease, they are also hard-working and gradually become a narrow road. Only in troubled times can they make their way forward.

The official route also has its shortcomings——

Even if you are a high-ranking member of the imperial court, you can mobilize a large number of troops with just one order. When you are walking on the road, ordinary bandits and thieves will naturally walk around you. But if you happen to be stubborn, when you are suddenly in danger, or there is something beyond your preparation.

For other matters, it is too late to mobilize heavy troops in a hurry. On the contrary, all the strength of the warrior is within himself and can be used at any time.

Therefore, many Taoists of the Fulu Sect, in addition to making offerings to the gods, studying Taoist scriptures, and cultivating virtues, also practice martial arts and swords in order to protect themselves.

The talismans of the Fu Lu Sect and the talismans of the military talismans actually have little difference in meaning.

Of course, this is just a metaphor. The Fu Lu Sect and the Spiritual Law Sect are not exactly like officials and warriors. Although one is stronger and the other is weaker, they are not so unbalanced.

Xuantian Temple in Qiyun Mountain is naturally larger, more famous and has a higher status than Fuqiu Temple in Fuqiu Peak. However, for Lin Jue, Fuqiu Temple is more suitable for him.

Now Taoist Priest Qingxuan is "mobilizing troops."

Before going down the mountain, Taoist Qingxuan not only brought the talismans but also asked the gods for instructions. However, things here were beyond expectations and were not as originally reported. The divine power originally invited was not enough to deal with the death energy here. However, the Fu Lu Sect has the rules of the Fu Lu Sect.

There are nine laws in the nine days, and there are procedures and rituals for praying to the gods. The gods will not let you borrow the divine power casually, so you need to re-apply the gods and ask for the divine power again.

This god seems to be called Yili Shenjun.

"Please God..."

Taoist Qingxuan is still calling.

At this time, the sun gradually came out, and Lin Jue even heard three or two cock crows coming from Xiaochuan Village behind him.

Maybe the Yili Shenjun didn't hear it, maybe there were too many voices calling him everywhere and he was too busy, maybe he heard it but was checking what Taoist Qingxuan said, or maybe he wanted to dedicate his divine power to the thunder general.

After taking several steps, Taoist Qingxuan never got a response.

Taoist Qingxuan is still patient.

The little fox was already yawning.

Lin Jue was thinking silently.

Suddenly, Taoist Qingxuan's eyes narrowed, and the wooden sword in his hand pointed toward the deep pit in the woods in the distance.

It seems like the gods are coming?

When Lin Jue was thinking about it, he felt a vast and pure air appear above his head, which made him subconsciously look up, but he only saw a layer of clouds and nothing.

"Crack!"

A muffled sound startled him.

When I lowered my head, I saw that the deep hole in the woods was like being struck by lightning, and thick white smoke was already rising.

There was a putrid smell, which was blown away by the breeze.

"Crack!"

This time I could see clearly, it was a sudden thunderbolt.

"Crack!"

Another one.

Three in a row.

There is an aura of supreme strength in the thunderbolt, which can be clearly felt. Although it is not particularly powerful, at least it is not as unimaginable and irresistible as the power of the gods in Lin Jue's imagination, but it is far from the power of the Taoist temples.

A senior fellow apprentice can compare with his conduct.

The dead energy in the pit was instantly wiped away, and the two subsequent thunderbolts seemed to be safe.

"call……"

Taoist Master Qingxuan then took back his wooden sword and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he spoke respectfully to the incense table on the altar and told General Lei that there was another place.

So he moved to another place and did the same thing.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The same three thunderbolts were fired at the same intervals, as if they were strictly in accordance with the document.

Lin Jue lowered his head and looked at his feet, wanting to see if the fox, which was always suspected by the brothers to be the descendant of the fox demon, was frightened, but he saw it shrank to his feet, shrinking its ears and shaking its neck every time there was a thunder.

.

However, his body was just shaking and he was not scared to run away. He noticed his gaze and raised his head to look at him.

It seemed that he was only frightened but not frightened.

This is also true——

This little thing is at most two months old. He doesn't know who the gods are, and he hasn't done anything wrong. How can he be afraid of the gods?

When he looked away again, Taoist Qingxuan was already sending Lord Yili Shen and Lei General off respectfully.

"call……"

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Close the altar!"

Taoist Qingxuan said to another young Taoist priest, and then let him do his work. He turned around to face Lin Jue and the others, and gave a deep salute.

The three of them were startled for a moment and then quickly returned the greeting.

Looking at Taoist Qingxuan's eyes, for no reason, Lin Jue felt like "it doesn't matter what the Talisman Sect or the Spiritual Method Sect is, as long as it can eliminate harm to the people, it is a good sect."

Perhaps the reason why the Fu Lu Sect is flourishing all over the world and is respected by people is the reason why these Taoists can subdue demons and eliminate demons without having to be talented in spiritual arts or practice hard to practice spells.

Over the years, people all over the world have owed them countless favors.

When I straightened up, there were footsteps behind me again.

When I looked back, I saw that people from Xiaochuan Village were already approaching.

The leader was Muramasa, Zhang Da's father, followed by many people from Ogawa Village, most of whom were in ragged clothes and had sallow complexions.

After a conversation, they were all excited when they learned that the evil spirits had been eliminated and the life-force was gone. However, the excitement did not last long before they were taken over by embarrassment.

"How is the reward calculated for a mage who eliminates demons?"

The village leader first looked at Lin Jue and the others because he heard that his son was saved by Lin Jue. The villagers were the closest to what happened last night and could see it most clearly. It was Lin Jue and the others who had contributed.

"Pindao... if you fill Pindao's wine pot with wine from the village, it will be considered Pindao's personal reward!" The third senior brother laughed and shook the empty wine pot, "As for the reward from the viewing, my family

Master always looks down on me, so when he came down from the mountain, he handed this matter over to my junior brother."

So Muramasa looked at Lin Jue again.

Many villagers also looked over.

Various expressions and complicated eyes looked at Lin Jue.

…

Two days later.

Fuqiu Temple, inner courtyard.

The senior brother was sitting on the steps very casually, weaving a bamboo lady with bamboo strips all over the floor. The old Taoist was also sitting on the steps, fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan.

"Master, the disciple is back." Lin Jue stood in the courtyard and saluted the old Taoist.

"Apart from the remaining soul?"

"Apart from."

"Are you angry?"

"It's burning."

"How much was paid?"

"..."

Lin Jue presented him with five taels of silver: "This is a special reward from Muramasa for saving the life of Muramasa's son from Yinxie."

"What evil?"

"It's an evil thing bred from the air of death."

"Huh? I was wondering why Ji Xian wrote a poem about 'Everything in the world is like a new chess game, who can predict the flowers like this?' It seems that there are some unexpected things. But from this poem,

Although it was unexpected, I didn't see anything dangerous or wrong." The old Taoist, dressed in thin and casual clothes, stopped holding the cattail leaf fan in his hand and looked up at him, "What about other rewards?"

Lin Jue took out a bag of wheat from behind his back.

Make a bag out of clothes and take out a pocket.

"Except for the Muramasa family, everyone in the village is very poor. There are natural disasters and evil, and we really can't get any money to reward them. We just harvested wheat and didn't get much, so the family gave a handful to the disciples."

Lin Jue lowered his eyes and chose to tell the truth.

"Oh……"

The old Taoist took the wheat and weighed it in his hands, but he just smiled and did not take the money. He said to him: "Tell me about your experience of going down the mountain to eliminate evil spirits. Where did the evil come from?"

"yes."

Lin Jue told him truthfully.
