It was dark outside, but there was a little bean lantern in the temple and a thin wall of wooden doors, but they separated the whimpering wind and snow from the sky.

Lin Jue spared his hand and spared Wu Ren's breath.

Of course, just in case, even if he was seriously injured and dying, and was tied up, Lin Jue also searched his body to ensure that he had nothing on him, and put the found things aside.

The things he had acquired were also put aside and piled into a pile.

There are one long sword, one hand crossbow, six darts, one blow dart, two cakes of poisonous smoke, a pack of lime, and a few taels of silver.

These can also be considered trophies.

At this time, Lin Jue looked at this man. In a daze, he felt a bit like the warrior he met on the mountain road more than half a year ago. He finally understood why the two bean soldiers who were not afraid of death could not take him down and were wounded.

The city's policemen still couldn't catch him.

"Why are you still coming to us? Is there someone else behind the scenes?" Lin Jue asked.

"What's there to ask..."

"The loser should be aware and tell the truth."

"If you cut off my wealth, for someone like me, what's the difference between taking my life?" Wu Ren replied weakly, spitting at the same time, "If you win, I'll give you a happy one!"

"That demon has been beheaded, and the big demon in the city has also been eliminated. If you love money, you should cherish your life even more. You should walk far away. Why would you risk killing us?"

"Adventure? Haha!" The warrior touched the wound on his body and spat out a burst of blood, "Ahem! You little Taoist priest, you are so arrogant. If the gods didn't care about human affairs and let me freeze all night, let alone you that day.

That senior brother is not here, even if your senior brother is here tonight, I can still kill you in the night!"

"..."

Lin Jue turned around and looked at the pile of things on the ground.

If God hadn't reminded him, and if God hadn't made him wander outside in the middle of the night, with his limbs stiff from the cold, it would have been very possible.

Of course it's only very possible.

Although the three of them are not too alert, the vigilance of their little fox is very high. It’s just that the wind and snow are too heavy tonight. If he approaches the temple, he may be discovered. The seventh brother can take hidden weapons, although the warrior himself is good at fighting.

Fighting, but if the three of them fight against him in his prime, it is not completely impossible to win.

It's just more difficult and risky.

"Do you know who the divine king was who got rid of the big demon in the city?"

"Isn't it just Yili Shenjun?"

"Then do you know whose temple this is?"

"Isn't it Gong Chen's temple?"

"You are really hiding too well." Lin Jue turned around and looked at the statue in the temple, "Take a good look, who is being worshiped in the temple now?"

"..."

Wu Ren turned his head without looking, but he had already guessed it.

"Have you been hiding in the city?"

"how……"

"Did you see our tricks?"

"no?"

"Are you here for our money?"

"You have cut off my wealth, this is just compensation for me." Wu Ren said.

"..."

Lin Jue looked at him and suddenly smiled:

"I don't believe it!"

"Ahem... Believe it or not!" Wu Ren said weakly, "Don't send me to those county officials. Even if you want to torture me, it shouldn't be done by those useless pigs and dogs!"

"So, the policemen in the city also have some interrogation skills?"

"You? The rules of the world..."

"His Majesty is wrong. We are just Taoist priests, not Jianghu people." Lin Juezhi stood up and said calmly, "It would have been fine if we had killed Him in the battle, but now that His Majesty is not dead and is still alive, how can we be willing?"

What's more of a life on your hands? What's more, the first time and the second time, Shishi came to us and wanted to kill us. Now that Shishi has lost, how can you make any sense in this world?"

After Lin Jue finished speaking, he stopped talking.

The warrior became furious and simply closed his eyes.

Several people ignored him.

The temple was illuminated by lights, and the fox was quite curious, so he walked up to the pile of debris and sniffed it again and again.

First he smelled the lime, and pulled twice, then he smelled the poisonous smoke cake, his nose immediately wrinkled, and he jumped back suddenly.

Finally, he walked forward again and approached the few taels of silver. As if he knew this thing, he stretched out his claws and pulled the few pieces of silver toward Lin Jue like toys, then tilted his head and stared at him.

"knew."

Lin Jue picked up a few coins and handed them to the seventh brother. He then picked up the warrior's sword and picked up the scabbard.

This long sword looks ordinary, without much decoration, and the scabbard does not have many patterns. However, once you hold it, it feels very gentle. Although it is heavy, it is comfortable to hold, and it is easy to swing it. You can tell at a glance that it is

A sword that kills people in the world from an old craftsman.

Then he picked up the dart again.

The shape design of these darts is also very reasonable, and the blades are very sharp. If they are used to guard objects, they look much better than the blades used by the bald man in gray robes that day.

Lin Jue put it back and said to the Seventh Senior Brother: "What should I do with these things?"

"Just take whatever you like, and give the rest to the government." The Seventh Senior Brother weighed a few broken pieces of silver and suddenly smiled, "But in this way, it seems that we are dividing the spoils."

"really……"

Lin Jue thought this sword was a good sword.

It's a pity that I already have a Pu Dao. The Pu Dao is longer than a sword and easier to swing. The sword is not a simple weapon. In the hands of most people, it is not as powerful as the Pu Dao.

So Lin Jue only took those few darts.

The seventh senior brother took the hand crossbow.

This sword belongs to my junior sister.

The money was just enough to make new robes.

Not long after, it was daylight outside.

Lin Jue and his junior sister were guarding the temple. The seventh senior brother went to the county government to call for the arresters. Among them was the messenger named Pan Yi. On the way, the seventh senior brother told them about the attack last night.

.

After arriving, Lin Jue gave them another stern warning: "A few months ago, the warrior who followed the bald gray-robed man was him. Although he claimed to be rich, please be sure to interrogate him to see if there is anything else."

People are instigating it, or for other purposes."

"The Taoist priest suspects that there is a real murderer behind the scenes?"

The leader of the arresting team was looking at the ground outside the temple. There were obvious traces of fire damage, which made him a little scared.

"It's nothing." Lin Jue was standing at the door of Yili Shenjun's temple. It was his old man who exorcised the demon. Naturally, he didn't dare to talk nonsense. "It's always good to ask more clearly."

"Definitely."

"In the next few days, some of our senior brothers may come down from the mountain. If you pass by the city, come to the county office to ask about the results of the interrogation. I hope the squad leader can tell the truth."

"This is natural."

The class leader raised his hands and said to him.

"Why does the Taoist priest need to come and ask in person?" said the catcher named Pan Yi. "It's okay for a villain to send a letter to the Taoist priest!"

"That's too much trouble."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Pan Yi was very respectful and said repeatedly.

It's nothing else. It's just that after drinking that cup of tea and pot of wine in Fuqiu Temple, not only did he not feel tired from running around for two days when he came back, he even didn't do anything at home for nearly half a month.

Whether he was working or practicing some moves, he felt energetic and even much better. He naturally knew what he was doing, and he didn't tell the other guards.

The captors quickly left respectfully.

Lin Jue and the others returned to the temple, and another person offered three sticks of incense to the Lord God, thanking him for his reminder and help.

The green smoke curled up, covering the statue, but suddenly, as if it was sucked by someone, it suddenly turned into a swirl of smoke, went straight into the face of the statue, and disappeared.

Lin Jue was startled.

Does this count as being used by the gods?

Lin Jue asked Taoist Yunhe and learned that this divine king was originally a warrior general in ancient times. He may also be a monk who focused on the body rather than magic. He participated in the replacement wars of ancient dynasties. The change of dynasties in the world at that time often also meant cultivating Taoism.

Or, the gods will be involved in the distribution of interests and the ups and downs of status between gods and spirits.

Nowadays, some records of him can be found in some ancient historical books. Later, this god became a god, and now, he should be regarded as the main god under Emperor Yujian.

…

Leave the city all the way back to the mountains.

The little junior sister got a long sword and was very happy. She kept holding it in her hand all the way down and refused to put it on the donkey's back. From time to time she would take it out and swing it twice to chop down the weeds and dead branches on the roadside.

"Our Taoist temple actually has swords, but they are rarely used." Brother Seventh said, "The swords in the temple were bought from the blacksmith shop in this city, and they may not be as good as this one."

"Third Senior Brother seems to know how to use a sword." Junior Sister said, "Seventh Senior Brother, tell me, if I ask Third Senior Brother to teach me swordsmanship, will he agree?"

"He? He does know how to use a sword. He was a swordsman before he went up the mountain." Senior Brother Seventh said for a moment, showing a playful look, "But his swordsmanship..."

"What's wrong? Is it bad?"

"It's not that it's not bad, the third brother's swordsmanship can be said to be outstanding. It's just that what he knows is not the killing sword or the fighting sword. What he knows is the swordsmanship for performance and the sword dance." The seventh brother said, "

Before going up the mountain, he was famous as a swordsman in their place."

"this……"

"There are some similarities," said the Seventh Senior Brother. "He is very laid-back and a good teacher. If you ask him to teach you swordsmanship, he will definitely not refuse. But when spring comes, I will definitely ask you to help."

He picks some peach blossoms and pine flowers to make wine. If you go down the mountain to buy them, you will inevitably be asked to help him carry wine and do some errands."

"What's this?"

The little junior sister said in confusion that she liked working the most. Even if she didn't need her senior brother to teach her swordsmanship, it would still be an interesting thing for her senior brother to ask her to run errands and do work.

Return to the Taoist temple.

The seventh senior brother and the master reported what happened last night, and Lin Jue took the senior brother to count the money raised. As expected, the younger junior sister went to the third senior brother to ask for sword skills.

"Eighteen taels..."

The elder brother weighed the silver in his hands.

"Thirteen thousand four hundred and forty-three copper coins." Lin Jue said, "It's such a heavy pile. It's really hard work for Senior Brother Donkey."

"Thank you for your hard work."

The eldest brother showed a thoughtful look like an old farmer.

Although the Fourth Aunt Grandma from Scissor Peak next door became a god, those Taoist friends are simple-minded and practice and play in the mountains all day long. They can’t even count. How can they understand the expenses? Fortunately, they are smart, and smart people know how to do it.

Please ask the Taoist priest you have made friends with from Fuqiufeng for help.

So I still have to worry about it, senior brother.

"There are more than expected. It should be due to the Shangyuan Festival and your face, little junior brother."

The elder brother put away the money and said.

For an ordinary family, a few taels of silver are enough to build a house. Even if you build a courtyard building with white walls and blue tiles in the village, as long as you put in your own efforts and ask your neighbors for help, it won't cost much.

Ordinary rural temples only need one room.

It's just that the temple has to imitate the style of the palace, which requires a lot of work. It also needs to make a statue of the god, which costs a lot of money. The origin of the god, merits and channels for becoming a god must be written on the wall or on a separate monument, and who paid for it must be recorded.

The names of all the donors who built this temple are also a sum of money.

Originally, the senior brother thought that if the money raised was small, it would be like building a house in the village. He and his neighbors would do most of the work, and only hire help for a few technical tasks. Now that there is more money, it will be much easier.

Of course, Taoist priests in Guanzhong still have to go to work.

The eldest brother has a simple peasant mentality. How can a peasant be embarrassed and relieved if he just leaves it to others to build a house? Moreover, how can there be any reason for his neighbor to build a house without contributing any of his own efforts?

In this regard, although Lin Jue didn't like working as much as his junior sister, he didn't mind helping out.

…

Back in the room, Lin Jue took out six darts.

This is a kind of clothed dart, about as long as the palm of your hand. The front is a slender diamond-shaped head, which is sharp and sharp. There is a pole at the back, and there is a ring at the back. When many people use it, they will

A cloth strip is tied to it to ensure the stability of the dart flight. If the cloth strip is not tied, it will be more concealed.

At the same time, it can also be held in the hand to make short pricks.

It's very heavy in your hand.

Lin Jue stretched out his hand and touched it, and a spiritual power was already attached to it.

Then he took the dart and looked left and right, and even looked at each other with the little fox, but he couldn't let go of the door or the window, so he had to go out and bring back a wooden stake.

A hasty spell.

Shu! Duo!

The dart immediately flew out, like a meteor, and pierced the wooden stake. The dart head almost completely penetrated, and even the wooden stake was knocked down by the force.

In terms of strength, it is even greater than that of the man in gray robe.

This is mainly because this spell is a simplified version of the method of controlling objects. It uses spells instead of painstaking study of spells. In terms of strength, it does not test the attainment and proficiency of spells. The strength only depends on the caster.

The strength of mana.

The man in gray robe was not as good as Lin Jue.

It's just that he is very proficient and flexible in using it. Lin Jue is far inferior to him in this aspect.

"Do! Do!"

Two more darts flew out and plunged into the wooden pile.

Lin Jue also tried swinging the dart.

"Crack!"

If it were given an initial speed, the power would be greater. However, Lin Jue didn't know how to use darts, so it would be difficult to ensure accuracy. And he couldn't adjust the flying direction of the blade in real time like the gray-robed man.

But that's enough.

"Duo!"

Don't tell me, it's quite fun.

It's much more fun than playing darts by yourself.

Lin Jue couldn't help but smile, and had the idea of ​​​​going to go outside Danxun County to chat with those strange monkeys.
Chapter completed!
