I didn't intend to be a Fairy

"I don't know how many people there are in Lei Qingguan, and what gods are they enshrining?"

"..."

The man looked at Song You carefully, perhaps because he didn't look like a villain, including the handsome man with a sword and a black horse, who also looked like his guard. He was not only gentle but also Being courteous and courteous, he slowed down a bit, and cupped his hands and said:

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

"So it's Mr. Xu, be polite."

"To answer Mr. Xu's question, as far as Xu knows, there are three masters and apprentices in Lei Qingguan, which is not too many. As for the enshrined..." Xu Mu was a little embarrassed, "Xu came here a few times, but he didn't look at it. However, there are of course the Chijin Emperor and several heavenly gods, and the main worshipers are still several Lei Gongs."

"Only three?"

"Xu remembers that there were only three of them."

"How many Lei Gongs are enshrined?"

"Exactly."

Song You couldn't help squinting his eyes.

Xu Mu seemed to be knowledgeable, and after thinking about it, he explained: "Sir, I don't know. The north is full of wars and ghosts. Although this is the border of Angzhou, it is only a few dozen miles away from Hezhou. I often hear Wherever you go, there are rumors of ghosts making trouble, so compared to the south, there are more Taoist temples and temples on our side dedicated to Lei Gong."

"Sounds like you've been down south?"

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

"I see."

Song You had seen the demeanor of Lord Zhou Lei before. Although he didn't have much contact with him at the time, he had an intuition that Lord Zhou Lei was also an upright person. Therefore, even if he knew that the Taoist was in the temple on the mountain at this time, he knew that the Taoist temple mainly worshiped Lord Lei. The Taoist is a complete monster, and he didn't make a rash decision, but asked Xu Mu again:

"Why are you here?"

"Oh, to be honest." Xu Mu sighed, "Recently some strange things happened in Xu's house, so I wanted to come to Lei Qingguan to ask the owner to have a look and help."

"Is this Taoist temple very effective?"

"Efficacy...Efficacy is not to be considered, but the temple master is good at exorcising evil and subduing demons." Xu Mu paused as he spoke, showing helplessness, and stretched out one hand to weigh it, "It's just If you want to ask someone who is high-level to do things, this is indispensable."

"I see."

Song You paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I feel that I am destined to meet you, and I am very grateful to talk to you and be relieved by you. It just so happens that I also know some spells, and I am also good at exorcising evil spirits. I don’t know what kind of strange things happened at home?”

"Mister also knows magic?"

"I understand a little."

Song You knew that he was suspicious, so he said again: "If you happen to be able to solve your worries, I will save some incense and offer money for you. If you don't, then you are not good at learning, so I can only say sorry to you, please I still go up the mountain to look for the master of Lei Qingguan."

As soon as Xu Mu heard this, his doubts disappeared.

After thinking about it, he said:

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that the old mother in Xu's family has been bewitched by some kind of evil spirit recently. She often talks with...some invisible people at home."

When Xu Mu said this, his voice was a little softer, as if he didn't want to talk about ghosts and gods, and he also avoided those sensitive words.

"Sometimes she would say that someone was calling her, telling her to get up, telling her to eat, telling her to go out to pick peas, to harvest rapeseed, to do the laundry. Sometimes she would invite people to eat with her, and sometimes she would lie on the bed and say There is a person standing in front of her looking at her. But all these things, there is no one in front of her. When we ask her who it is, she can sometimes tell, but the people are different. Sometimes it says we have been dead for many years Sometimes she said it was her sister, sometimes she said it was another old woman who died in the same village, sometimes she couldn't tell, she said it was a stranger. We were all scared when we heard..."

"That's it."

Song You thought for a while, but couldn't make a rash decision: "You have to go down and have a look at this."

"Haha, thank you sir, but Mr. Xu has come here, and he has collected all the money and brought it with him. It's better to go up the mountain. I just hope that I can relieve my mother's worries as soon as possible, so that my husband will not travel all the way."

"One step is a big dutiful son."

"Haha, as the saying goes, filial piety is the first thing to do. What's more, Xu's family was poor when he was young, and he lost his parents at a young age. Our mother brought us up through hardships. It's hard work, how can you be unfilial?"

Song You nodded and didn't say much.

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

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

"Tuk-tuk..."

Xu Mu knocked on the door first.

There were footsteps inside.

Empress Sanhua already understood that the Taoist priest who dug the grave that day was the enemy of her party, and she also understood that today she came to look for the Taoist priest. Although she was confused by the way her Taoist priest talked with passers-by, it did not hinder her vigilance and protection. The determination of his Taoist priests was already ready to go.

The hand of the swordsman holding the sword also stretched forward.

"Squeak..."

It was a little Taoist priest who opened the door.

"?"

Sanhuamao tilted its head and stared blankly at him.

The swordsman also frowned, but did not strike easily.

The little Taoist, who looked like a teenager, opened the door and couldn't help asking:

"Who are you looking for?"

"The villain's surname is Xu and his name is Mu. My mother seems to be bewitched. I want to ask the temple master to relieve my mother's worries." Xu Mu respectfully.

"oh……"

The little Taoist nodded and looked at Song You again:

"Who is the priest looking for?"

"I am a Taoist from Yunyou. I saw a Taoist temple here. Come and visit." Song You smiled, "I wonder if it's convenient?"

"..." The little Taoist looked at him up and down, "It's not that we don't know how to treat guests, it's that our Taoist temple is not big, except for the palace dedicated to the gods, there are only two rooms that can live in, there is really no place to stay for the Taoist priest and This hero who is with Daochang."

"We don't stay overnight, we just come in and take a look."

"That's it..."

The little Taoist priest was a little embarrassed again: "But my master went wrong in his practice yesterday, and he is in poor health. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to entertain the Taoist priest..."

"Fellow Daoist's master is a middle-aged Taoist priest with a beard, about as tall as me, and very thin?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

"I had a relationship with Guanzhu once, but I don't know the Taoist name of Guanzhu."

"That……"

"Why don't fellow daoists let us in first, and then report to the spectator. If the spectator is willing to meet, I will have a long talk with him. If the spectator is really ill and it is inconvenient to receive guests, I will just leave."

"fair enough."

The little Taoist nodded and opened the door: "Then please come in."

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

"Thank you."

Song You knew what he meant.

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

The little Taoist asked them if they wanted incense, Xu Mu bought three sticks of incense for more than a dozen pennies, but Song You declined. The little Taoist asked them to wait in the main hall for a while, and reminded them not to let the cat in, lest the cat be ignorant and blaspheme the gods, so he went to inform the master himself.

The three-flowered cat turned its head and stared at the little Taoist priest.

Looking away, she saw that her Taoist priest and the man she met on the road had already entered the temple. She thought about it with flickering eyes, and then she really 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 sticks of incense are already burning.

It should be respected by Taoist priests.

Song You stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking at the statues in the temple one by one.

In the middle is indeed the statue of the Chijin Emperor. The statues on the left and right are different from most Taoist temples, but they are also some of the more important gods of Dayan Taoism.

In addition, there are several statues of Leibu gods and gods on the side.

It can be seen from the incense and tribute that this Taoist temple mainly enshrines the Chijin Emperor and the head of the Thunder Department. Taoism respectfully calls the Nine Heavens Xuandu Lei Ting Puhua Tianzun. If the folks only say Lei Gong, they are referring to him. The successors of Fulong Temple in recent generations generally call him Fu Leigong.

The rest of the Thunder God statues are not well done, it is difficult to identify who is who, and there is no sign of having absorbed the power of incense, no spirituality, and no divine light. If there is spiritual light, Song You may be able to recognize a few familiar ones, but even he can't tell who is who.

Naturally, the gods themselves couldn't tell the difference.

At this time, the cigarettes in the temple were curling up, almost only drifting in two directions.

One is the Chijin Emperor, and the other is Fu Leigong.

"You really dare to accept..."

Song You looked at the incense and smiled.

Worshiping the Chijin Emperor may be out of respect. After all, there is no Taoist temple that does not worship the Lord of the Heavenly Palace. The rest of the gods are pure respect, and there is nothing other than respect. Lei Qingguan mainly enshrines Fu Leigong, the chief official of the Leibu, and the rest of the Leibu gods are only symbolically put on the statues and written with names, but in fact they can't recognize who is who.

As for why these few have no spiritual light...

Maybe they have already noticed that the master of this Taoist temple has gone astray and practiced evil ways. Maybe it is because the Taoist temple was not sincerely trying to enshrine them when the Taoist temple was established and the statue was built. Unlike, naturally they can't perceive that there is a statue of their own here, or they can perceive it, and they don't care.

Beside him, Xu Mu also offered incense sincerely. He had already lit the incense in his hand, knelt down and made a wish, and placed it in front of Fu Leigong.

The incense and vows still only drifted towards those two.

"Two..."

The little Taoist came back again, and said to them: "The poor Taoist just went to wake up the master and asked about it. The master said that he is ill and it is inconvenient to receive guests. Please go back."

"Oh?" Xu Mu was surprised, "Then what should my mother do?"

"Master said to come back later."

"this……"

"I'm really sorry." The little Taoist said, "The kind person will come back after a while, and the money will be saved."

"Oh well."

Xu Mu had no choice but to agree, and looked at Song You again.

"I don't know where your family lives?" Song You asked with a smile, "Maybe I will come to your place if you travel around the world. If you haven't found another way by then, you can let me try."

"Then thank you sir!"

Xu Mu hastily bowed deeply, because it was related to his mother, he did not refuse, but said: "Xu lives in Zhijiang County, Erqiao Street in the north of the city, and you can find it after a little inquiring. It can’t be called rich and powerful, but there are also food and wine to treat each other.”

"Walk slowly."

"Then sir..."

"I have a predestined relationship with this Taoist temple, and I haven't burned incense yet, so I will burn another stick of incense before leaving."

"How long does it take to burn incense? Xu will just wait for Mr."

"Let's leave first."

"this……"

Although Xu Mu didn't know why, but he had just met, so he didn't want to entangle him too much, so he agreed and left with a smile.

Song You also took out money in his arms, and looked back at the three-flowered cat sitting in the yard. Under her burning gaze, he took out a handful of money, counted out a dozen, and handed it to the little girl next to him. Taoist priest.

As a fellow Taoist, he came to offer incense, and logically speaking, he shouldn't be charged money, but the little Taoist smiled and took it, and put it in his arms smoothly.

"..."

Song You got three sticks of incense, took a breath, and the incense burned automatically, and stuck it in front of Fu Leigong, the head of the Lei Department.

"This priest..."

Just as the little Taoist wanted to persuade Song You to leave, he heard a slight explosion.

"Top!"

The three sticks of incense that had just been lit suddenly burst into flames.

The flames were so big that they could not be burned with incense sticks. However, the idols were all covered with quilt coats and hung red.

If the gods are not working, the temple should be burned.
