Chapter 138 Taihou Liu
"It's on the way to the county town. Isn't there a place called Lingshanau? There was a place that was originally a hero named Liu Tai. He was originally a local person. Later, he joined the army and said that he had done something wrong and was still a lieutenant. Because of his heroic war, he was sacrificed by someone. He verbally named him a marquis, Liu Taihou, and the temple was called Liu Taihou Temple."
Uncle Shu Er said to him:
"The incense of Liu Taihou was once prosperous for decades, but he was not a powerful god after all. It didn't take long for the incense to gradually fade away. Fortunately, the temple was on the road, and people occasionally went to worship him.
"At the end of last year, my son went home for the New Year. When he passed by the valley, he met his classmates. After drinking some wine, he passed by the valley. When he saw that his incense was deserted, he went to worship him. He didn't say anything out of the ordinary, but he just felt that he had said a few words of pity. His classmates could also testify for him, but after he came back, he was often clamored by the Marquis Liu and asked us to worship him.
"If we don't offer sacrifices to him, he will slap himself in the face, jump off the building, or even jump into Jiyang Creek, like a soldier, and the elderly in the family are extremely anxious.
"At the beginning, we still followed him and offered him some pigs, dogs, and sheep. But we also found some nearby masters, and even the old masters from the academy, we invited them to him, but not only could they not cure him, but they could not satisfy him, but even made him worse."
Lin Jue listened carefully and thought seriously.
"Have you ever worshipped the third aunt?"
"I'm begging, only in Sangu Temple will he calm down. Once he goes out, he will immediately attack." Uncle Shu San said, "I asked about the temple Zhu. The temple Zhu said that Sangu can only bless the villagers in the village without being invaded, and cannot bless the villagers in the village without being invaded outside. Moreover, the other party has eaten incense and asked us to think of other ways, or go to other gods and the city god to burn certificates and submit lawsuits."
"Then have you ever sued?"
"I also went to burn the certificate, but I didn't respond."
"What after?"
"It was the beginning of this month. Somehow, I heard about it by the old master in the academy. The old master went in person, pointed to the temple of Liu Taihou, scolded him for a long time, and smashed his statue of god, which made him angry. But he didn't dare to deal with the old master, but he tossed my son to a great extent."
Lin Jue listened, as if he could imagine the scene of the old master walking for more than ten miles of mountain road with a crutch and taking the gods accountable.
Then he continued to fall into thinking.
Most of the families in the village have more kindness than him, so they cannot ignore it, especially the master's family.
Almost all the matters in the village are decided by the Shu family. In other words, whether it was the one who was a foreigner Lin Jue who went to the academy to study or asked him to mow grass and feed cattle to give some supplements, they were actually inseparable from the Shu family.
That's good too—
Not only can you repay some kindness and feel more at ease, but you can most likely make your uncle's family live a better life in the village.
"Uncle Shu Er doesn't have to worry. I will go back to the village with you later and I will definitely help you with all my strength." Lin Jue said, "But I haven't encountered many such things, so I have to ask my master first."
“Okay…”
Uncle Shu Er didn't want to delay at all.
Lin Jue immediately stood up and entered the inner courtyard.
Taoist Yunhe was lying on the recliner, holding a cat in his arms, squinting his eyes, not asleep, but not reading a book. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he opened his eyes when Lin Jue came in.
After listening to Lin Jue’s story, he smiled:
"The Taoist priests of the Talisman Sect must respect the gods, and the gods in the hearts of the people of the world are also embellished, but you are the Taoist priests of the Spiritual Law School. Do you still know what the gods are like?"
As he said that, he couldn't help but reach out to touch the cat in his arms:
"The so-called Nine Heavens righteous gods, except for the ancient cultivators who were recruited and the monsters who were recruited, are just ghosts who become officials."
Lin Jue was surprised by what he said.
It seems that it is true if you think about it carefully.
"Then I..."
"If you are nervous about the word "divine spirit", you must know that the so-called gods are always worthy of virtue, not the word "divine spirit". Only gods with virtue are worthy of worship." Taoist Yun He's voice seemed to be murmured in dreams, "If you are nervous about the power of gods, then I ask you, when monsters are in chaos, how many ordinary little gods on the ground dare to provoke easily?"
"Understood."
Lin Jue immediately figured it out and felt much more at ease in his heart.
The word "Divine Spirit" is still a bit frightening.
But as the master said, the thing that gods deserve respect lies in virtue, not because they live in temples and in heaven. If they do not have virtue, and are ordinary little gods, and they have their own reasons, then what else is there to worry about? Could it be that even Liu Gong from Yi County, the old master from Shu Village, and two weak old men dare to do, but he, a practitioner with Taoism, dare not?
Since this magic power can eliminate demons, it can naturally kill gods.
"By the way, Master, the Silver Eater had already vomited nine spiritual pills last month. According to what you said before, I will give it to you later. How do you plan to tell the senior brothers?"
"Don't say it."
"Don't say it?"
"Can you explain it to them?"
“Okay.”
Lin Jue took the pill first and handed it to his master. He then went back to get the long sword dart and paper donkey. He took a few bottles of pills, changed his clothes and wrapped them in a package, and called Fuyao. Then he walked to the outer yard again.
"Senior brother, do you want me to be with you?"
"No need, my house is too far away. It will take at least half a month to go there. You should stay on the mountain. Use the crafts that you usually stolen from me when burning fire, so as not to starve the senior brothers to death."
"What stolen craft?"
The youngest sister reached out and scratched her head, staring at him in confusion.
Lin Jue didn't say much, called Shu's second uncle Shu's third uncle, and walked out.
Both of them came on horseback, and I think they were a little anxious. They should have used horses from the village caravans who carried goods. They were not tall, but they had strong endurance, so they also brought Lin Jue one.
"The righteous god is not possessed! It must be an evil god!"
After Lin Jue finished speaking, he simply took two steps forward, held his sword and bent over and entered the temple.
The light around me suddenly dimmed.
I looked around, but only smelled some incense, and there was no righteousness of the gods.
"Can Mr. Liu be there?"
Lin Jue asked directly.
The two behind him were shocked and subconsciously wanted to run farther, but as a member of the Confucian businessman, they did not allow them to do this since childhood.
So he stood outside the temple and stared at Lin Jue with fear.
"Why is Liu Taihou not here?
"The world is vast, and the heroes here listen to my orders! The spiritual light is like washing, illuminating the eternal darkness realm! When the demons come, do not hide their shadows and avoid the light! When the Yin and Yang realms are in the three realms, my curse appears!"
The breeze blew, and the light of inspiration rippled, but nothing shone.
"It's really not here..."
Lin Jue said to himself, then said to the statue of God: "If you can hear it, come to see me quickly and explain the reason for the matter. Otherwise, you will demolish your temple, smash your statue of God, and report to Qiyun Mountain and kill you!"
As he spoke, a white shadow flashed in front of him, and the fox jumped up and looked at the statue. His eyes were full of curiosity, and he stretched out his claws to touch the statue's face.
However, Lin Jue had turned around and said to the two middle-aged men at the door:
"Why is Liu Taihou not here, I wonder if it is on the second uncle's son now. Let's go and take a look first."
"good."
The three of them got on the horse again and walked back.
"Uncle Er really went to the City God Temple to write a certificate?" Lin Jue asked about the details while walking.
"Of course it's true."
“How did you write it?”
"It was also written by Taoist priests. The one who often invites people from the village to do things. It is similar to the complaints made by the yamen, and then burns incense in the City God Temple."
"So that's it." Lin Jue nodded. Since it was similar to the complaint of the yamen, he naturally explained the incident clearly. "The incident was not written incorrectly, right?"
"How can we do that?"
Uncle Shu Er glared immediately, Lin Jue said "miswriting", but how could they not hear what it meant?
"Of course I believe in my second uncle."
Lin Jue was not suspicious either.
Apart from the integrity of the merchants here, there is no need to doubt it - as long as Liu Taihou really possesses the body of a young man in the village, he can be determined not to be a good god.
The righteous god is not allowed to possess it.
Even if the Taoist sect invites the gods, they either call on the power of the gods or ask the gods to go down to the world in person. It is impossible for the gods to be attached to them.
Since he was an evil god, Lin Jue had some guesses.
It must be that the City God knew that Liu Taihou was not a righteous god, so the certificate presented did not have the effect of complaining, because both parties were not in the same system. Even if the City God received the certificate, it would only be regarded as an ordinary person to ask him to help eliminate demons and exorcises. However, the word "City God" means the square city and river. The City God's magical responsibilities are mostly in the city, and it is not powerful in the village.
Besides, many city gods are indifferent to the city.
