"I wonder how many people there are in Lei Qing Temple, and what gods are they worshiping?"

"..."

The man looked at Song You carefully, maybe because he didn't look like a villain. The man who was carrying a sword and leading a dark horse seemed to be his guard. He was not only gentle in his conversation but also gentle.

Being courteous and courteous, he also slowed down a little, cupped his hands and said:

"My surname is Xu, and my last name is Mu."

"It turns out it's Mr. Xu, you're polite."

"To answer your question, sir, as far as Xu knows, there are three masters and disciples in Lei Qingguan, which is not too many. As for the enshrinements..." Xu Mu was a little embarrassed, "Xu came here several times and didn't even look at it.

All over, but of course there is the Red Gold Emperor and several important gods of the Heavenly Palace, and the main ones worshiped are the Thunder Gods."

"Only three people?"

"Xu remembers that there were only three people."

"How many Thunder Gods are enshrined?"

"Exactly."

Song You couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

Xu Mu seemed to be knowledgeable, and after thinking for a while, he explained: "Sir, I don't know. There are wars all year round in the north, and there are many demons and ghosts. Although this is the border of Angzhou, it is actually only a few dozen miles away from Hezhou. I often hear

There are rumors of demons and ghosts causing trouble everywhere, so compared to the south, there are more Taoist temples and temples dedicated to Thunder God here."

"Sounds like you've been to the south before?"

"Xu went to the capital and walked through Shang."

"I see."

Song You had seen Zhou Lei Gong's demeanor. Although he didn't have much contact with him at that time, he had an intuition that Zhou Lei Gong was also an upright person. Therefore, even if he knew that the Taoist was in the temple on the mountain at this time, and knew that the Taoist temple mainly worshiped Lei Gong, he also knew that

The Taoist was a demon through and through, and he did not make a hasty decision. He just asked Xu Mu again:

"Why are you here?"

"Oh, I'm telling you the truth." Xu Mu sighed, "There have been some strange things happening in Xu's home recently, so I wanted to come to Lei Qing Temple to see the owner of the temple and help him."

"Is this Taoist temple very effective?"

"Effective... I can't say it's efficacious, but the master of the temple is wise and good at exorcising and subduing evil spirits." Xu Mu paused as he spoke, with a look of helplessness on his face, and spread out a hand to weigh it, "It's just

If you want to ask experts to take action, this is indispensable."

"I see."

Song You paused for a moment and then said with a smile: "I feel that I have a destiny when I meet you. I talk to you and receive answers to my questions. I am also very grateful. It just so happens that I know some magic and am good at exorcising evil spirits and subjugating demons, but...

Don’t you know what kind of strange things happen to your family?”

"Sir, do you also know magic?"

"Understand a little bit."

Song You knew that he was doubtful, so he added: "If it happens to solve my worries, I will save some incense and money for you. If not, it means that I am not good at studying. I can only say sorry to you. Please

I still go up the mountain to find the owner of Lei Qing Temple."

When Xu Mu heard this, his suspicion disappeared.

After thinking for a while he said:

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that Xu's mother has been possessed by some kind of evil spirit recently. She often talks to... people who seem to be invisible at home."

Xu Mu's voice became softer when he said this, as if he didn't want to talk about ghosts and gods, and avoided those sensitive words.

"Sometimes she will say that someone is calling her, asking her to get up, asking her to eat, asking her to go out to pick peas and rapeseed, and asking her to do the laundry. Sometimes she will ask people to join her when eating, and sometimes she will lie in bed and say

There was a person standing in front of her looking at her. But there was no one in front of her during all these things. When we asked her who it was, she could sometimes tell her, but the people who said it were different. Sometimes she said it was us who had been dead for many years.

Sometimes she said she was her sister, sometimes she said she was another old woman who died in the same village, and sometimes she couldn't tell and said she was an unknown stranger. We were all scared after hearing this..."

"That's it."

Song You thought for a while and couldn't make a hasty decision: "We have to go over and have a look at this next time."

"Haha, thank you sir, but Xu is already here and has brought all his money with him, so I'd better go up the mountain. I just want to relieve my mother's worries at home as soon as possible and save my husband from traveling all the way."

"You are a very filial son."

"Haha, as the saying goes, filial piety comes first among all good deeds. What's more, Xu's family was poor when he was young. He lost his father at a young age. His mother worked hard to bring us up. It's so hard, how can we be unfilial?"

Song You nodded and didn't say much.

So he and Xu Mu went together to the gate of the Taoist temple on the mountain.

The Taoist temple is neither big nor small, with red painted wooden doors.

"Tuk tuk..."

Xu Mu knocked on the door first.

There were footsteps coming from inside.

Sanhua Empress already understood that the Taoist grave digger that day was the enemy of her group, and she also understood that she was here to find that Taoist today. Although she was confused by the attitude of her Taoist priest in talking to passers-by, it did not hinder her vigilance and protection.

The Taoist priest's determination was already ready to go.

The swordsman's hand holding the sword also stretched forward.

"Squeak..."

The person who opened the door was a young Taoist priest.

"?"

The calico cat tilted its head and stared at him blankly.

The swordsman also frowned and did not attack easily.

The little Taoist priest looked like a teenager. When he opened the door and took a look, he couldn't help but ask:

"Who are you looking for?"

"My surname is Xu and my name is Mu. My mother seems to be possessed by an evil spirit. I would like to ask the conservator to relieve my mother's worries." Xu Mu was respectful.

"oh……"

The little Taoist priest nodded and looked at Song You again:

"Who is the Taoist Chief looking for?"

"I am a traveling Taoist. I saw a Taoist temple here and came over to visit." Song You smiled and asked, "Is it convenient?"

"..." The little Taoist priest looked at him up and down, "It's not that we don't know how to treat guests, it's just that our Taoist temple is not big. Apart from the palace dedicated to the gods, there are only two rooms in total that can accommodate people. There is really no place to stay for the Taoist priest and the Taoist priest.

This hero is with the Taoist Master."

"We're not staying overnight, we're just coming in to take a look."

"That's it..."

The little Taoist priest was a little embarrassed again: "But my master had something wrong with his practice yesterday and was ill. I'm afraid he won't be able to entertain the Taoist priest..."

"My fellow Taoist master is a middle-aged Taoist priest with a beard. He is about as tall as me and very thin?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

"I have had a relationship with the temple master, but I don't know the temple master's Taoist name."

"That……"

"Why don't you, little Taoist friend, let us in first and then report to the temple master. If the temple master is willing to see you, I will have a long talk with him. If the temple master is really ill and unable to entertain guests, I will just leave."

"fair enough."

The little Taoist priest nodded and opened the door: "Then please invite a few people in."

"Sir, I won't go in and watch the horses outside." The swordsman in gray said to Song You.

"Good work."

Song You knew what he meant.

Then he and a man named Xu Mu followed the little Taoist priest into the Taoist temple and came to the main hall.

The little Taoist priest asked them if they wanted to burn incense. Xu Mu spent more than ten cents to buy three sticks of incense, but Song You declined. The little Taoist priest asked them to wait in the main hall for a while, and reminded them not to let the cat in, lest they go in.

Mao'er was ignorant and blasphemed the gods, so he went to inform the master himself.

The calico cat turned around and stared at the little Taoist priest.

Looking back, she saw that her Taoist priest and the man she met on the road had entered the temple. She thought about it with flashing eyes, and then she actually sat down on the spot, licked her paws, and refused to go in.

There are bright lamps in the main hall, but no candles.

Several incense sticks are already burning.

It should be respected by Taoist priests in Taoist temples.
