There are many mountains to the south of Pingzhou.

In early winter, the vegetation is withered and the world is yellow. From time to time, the sound of mule bells can be heard on the mountain roads, and pedestrians wearing thick clothes are walking.

The Taoist also wore thick clothes and walked on the top of the mountain with a bamboo stick, stopping from time to time to look into the distance.

A cat followed closely beside me.

A swallow stopped to rest.

The group had just gotten off the back of the white crane.

"Now that we have been to all five mountains, where will we go next? Back to Yizhou, Meow?" Mao'er asked as he walked.

"It's not urgent yet."

“There’s no rush yet!”

"nature."

"Do you have to wait until next fall?"

"Just socialize in summer and autumn."

The Taoist said while looking at the open scenery.

Now that the five roads to heaven have been reorganized, Jin Lingguan has been killed, Zhou Lei Gong has been persuaded, and the power directly belonging to the Emperor of Heaven no longer exists. Among the ancient gods, Emperor Huoyang was seriously injured and went into seclusion, which almost showed his attitude.

After the fall of God Zhonggu, the Emperor of Nothingness gave a symbolic effort, and the Taoist did not kill him completely. The two sides had a tacit understanding. By reorganizing the path to heaven, half of the power of the Wude God in the Heavenly Palace was gone, and the main thing was to

There are only four saints left in the four directions.

It's time to depose them.

This should be a fierce battle.

"No way!"

The calico cat ran forward and turned back to look at him.

"Let's go down the mountain."

The Taoist changed direction and walked through the dense forest to the normal walking path down the mountain.

Cats are already used to this.

A man and a cat suddenly walked out of the forest onto the road.

"oops!"

A middle-aged businessman holding a mule on the road was shocked. He quickly took two steps in the opposite direction to him, making a defensive posture and showing fear. When he saw that he was a Taoist, he relaxed slightly.

"Sir, is he a human or a monster?"

"Nature is human."

The Taoist stood up straight and saluted him: "I was so frightened that I was rude. Please forgive me."

"Why did Mr. come out of the forest so suddenly? There was no other movement. I thought it was a mountain bandit or a monster and a wild dog, and I was shocked." The businessman accused him in shock.

"..."

The Taoist smiled at him, turned around, pointed to a temple faintly visible in the mountains ahead and asked, "Is that a temple?"

"Of course it's a temple." The businessman was a little angry but replied, "Sir, do you want to spend the night there?"

"Is there anyone worshiping Thunder God in the temple?"

"It's exactly a Lei Gong Temple."

"oh?"

Song You was quite surprised and smiled: "Specialized Lei Gong Temple?"

"Exactly." The businessman replied, "There are many mountains in Pingzhou, and there are many legends about immortals, gods, demons and ghosts. Nowadays, the world is not peaceful, and demons and ghosts are everywhere. This mountain road is uninhabited for dozens of miles, so it is natural to build it.

A Lei Gong Temple to suppress the evil spirits in the mountains."

"I see."

The Taoist nodded, it was reasonable.

"Not far ahead is Nanhua, right?" Song You chatted casually with the businessman.

"There are still twenty or thirty miles to go."

"It's not that far."

"Sir, are you also going to Nanhua?"

"almost."

"If we walk faster, we can get there before dark."

"Just let it happen."

"Then I have to take a step first. At night, ghosts and wolves howl on this mountain road, which is unsettling." The businessman said, looking at this Taoist who always felt a little unusual, and the one beside him who always raised his head.

Looking at himself, with an expression like a beautiful talking cat, he said half-reminding and half-warning, "If you, sir, can't walk to Nanhua today, just stay at the Lei Gong Temple ahead, or just find a place to spend the night on the road. It's not far away from here."

The Lei Gong Temple is nearby, and that temple is very efficacious. If any demons and ghosts dare to cause trouble nearby, they will be killed by the Lei Gong."

"Thank you very much."

The Taoist smiled slightly, kept his pace, took his time, and watched the merchant and the mule go further and further away.

About a quarter of an hour later.

There is a temple next to the mountain road.

Sure enough, it is a Lei Gong Temple. Even the couplets on both sides of the temple door are somewhat familiar:

So bold to come and see me;

Come back and don't harm anyone!

Looking inside, I saw a row of Thunder God statues.

In the newly built temples in recent years, the red paint on the beams and pillars is relatively bright, and the statues inside are also new. The first one is in the middle, wearing a soap coat, tall and mighty, with a righteous face. Who else could it be if it wasn't Zhou Lei Gong?

The Taoist stepped in and the light dimmed.

There is an extra handful of incense in my hand, and there are two more people around me.

The incense is divided into three parts, three sticks per person.

The Taoist held the incense and stood in front of the altar. He looked at the statue of God of Thunder for a long time and then waved the incense.

"..."

Silently, the incense burned.

A wisp of green smoke curled up from his hand.

There were also two streaks of green smoke floating around him.

The Taoist looked respectful and bowed three times——

These three sticks of incense were supposed to be made three months ago.

No wonder I came down late.

If you're to blame, blame Sanhua Empress.

In fact, Sanhua Empress's white crane flies too high, often entering the clouds, making it difficult to see clearly, and flying too fast, dazzling people, and there is no time to see it. It flies from the ruined temple in the barren mountain to the boundless mountain, and it flies all the way without seeing it.

I saw any palaces and temples on the roadside. The boundless mountains sat dry for three months. I flew back to Pingzhou, but it was only now that I saw a temple in the mountains below.

With this thought in mind, the Taoist inserted the incense into the mud.

Turn around and look both ways.

The Yanzi boy on the left also looked respectful and offered incense to the Thunder Lord.

The girl on the right wearing three-color clothes had a serious face. She also imitated his appearance and bowed to Zhou Leigong three times. Then she inserted the incense into the mud, turned her head slightly and looked at the Taoist with her peripheral vision.

The next action is to prepare to continue learning.

Seeing that her Taoist priest made no other movements, and feeling his Taoist gaze, she turned her head and looked at him.

Girls naturally don’t know what people are thinking.

The Taoist also doesn’t know what the cat is thinking.

"Let's go."

"Let's go!"

The Taoist picked up the bamboo stick, turned around and walked out.

"Canopy..."

The girl instantly turned into a cat and followed behind her.

The young man also turned into a swallow and flew out of the temple.
