Chapter 304: Mortals Shock the Gods The bamboo broom rubbing against the uneven stone floor made a crisp rustling sound that echoed in the yard in the early morning. The crabapple trees in the courtyard are finally withering, their petals are scattered all over the ground, and the junior sister is cleaning up. Lin Jue was combing the fox's fur. Mr. Luo returned to the yard early in the morning. The junior sister couldn't help but stop sweeping her broom and stared at him. Fuyao next to her also turned her head and stared at him. Lin Jue, who was holding a comb, naturally looked at him as well. Mr. Luo looked a little tired. "Has Luo's trial ended?" "The trial is over. It's almost the same as we thought. The Taoists in Jingyun Temple made anti-aging pills and sent them to the palace. The emperor and the concubines ate them." Lord Luo still took off his hat and long sword and looked carefully on the crabapple tree with only a few withered flowers left. He hung the hat and sword on the tree, sighed tiredly, shook his head, squinted his eyes and said, "This court is no longer saveable." For a moment, Lin Jue couldn't tell whether his fatigue was due to the trial of Qingquanzi and the many minor Taoist priests in Jingyun Temple for several days, or because he was completely disappointed with the court. "Where are the Taoists?"

"That Qingquanzi was guilty of too many crimes. He had connections and was very capable. I was afraid that if I sent him to the government office, he would only make an old man in the prison a scapegoat. So I just killed him with a single blow." County Magistrate Luo obviously knew the trick, and he acted decisively. "Those young Taoist priests didn't learn much. They just helped out with odd jobs. I asked a few brave men to take them to the government office last night." "Mr. Luo is still thoughtful." Lin Jue couldn't help but shake his head secretly. I can't do such complicated things by myself. Not only do I not have the ability, I also don't have the energy to do so. It is a great blessing to have the help of Mr. Luo. "It's fine if I can't see this kind of thing, and it's fine if I can't do anything about it, but if I see it, I can do something about it. If I don't do anything about it, I'll really be upset." Lord Luo said, "If one day, the court really collapses, and this dog emperor and concubine fall, I will definitely add fuel to the fire and chop off their heads with my own hands! If not for anything else, then for these women!" "rustle……" Lin Jue heard the voice and glanced to the side. It’s the crabapple tree that is trembling. These words are really shocking. However, it was not Lin Jue's turn to remind Mr. Luo, "Don't say such things once you leave this yard." Mr. Luo knew this better than him. At this moment, Luo Gong and the fox turned their heads at the same time and looked outside. It was Master Fan who came to visit. "Brother, have you had breakfast?" Tianshi Fan asked Lin Jue as soon as he saw him. It seemed that he had just seen Luo Gong. "Huh? Luo Gong is back too?" "Ate." "just came back." Lin Jue and Luo Gong answered one after another. After living in this courtyard for several months, even Mr. Luo's attitude towards Master Fan has become much better than before.

"Brother, did you sleep well last night?" "I slept well." Lin Jue replied, "Fellow Daoist Fan, please don't call me Brother Daoist. You are much older than me, so we can just call each other Brother Daoist." After Lin Jue finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. How could a shrewd person like Fan Tianshi suddenly come to visit me so early in the morning and ask me whether I slept well. I am a Taoist of the spiritual school, and I practice the Yin-Yang spiritual method. How could I not have good sleep? "Where's Fellow Daoist Fan? Did you sleep well?" "There is no order of learning, the one who has achieved success comes first. Brother Dao has better magic and merit than me, and there is no one else in this courtyard. I call you Brother Dao, which is both sincere and reasonable." Master Fan said with a smile, and then he seemed to suddenly remember something and said casually: "This courtyard is quiet and I have always slept well, but I suddenly had two strange dreams last night." Lin Jue knew it as soon as he heard it. This was the real business. Either he was saying this to me specifically, or he wanted to ask me for advice, or to seek peace of mind. "What dream?" "I dreamed of a god!" There was a look of reminiscence in Master Fan's eyes. In fact, he had dreamed of monsters and gods since he was a child, just like everyone else. Even after he embarked on this path, because he had more contact with fairies and ghosts, and was often involved with gods, he dreamed of them many times in the beginning. Sometimes he was restless or often worried during the day, and even dreamed about them every day. As for the content of the dream, it contains everything. However, he didn't know what was mysterious, but as he dealt with more and more goblins and ghosts and interacted with them more, he no longer felt his hair stand on end unconsciously when he stood in front of a big goblin, and he used to feel cold and weak, or even sick, after coming into contact with powerful evil ghosts. But after a long time, as if he had adapted to it, all these symptoms disappeared, and dealing with goblins and ghosts was even easier for him than getting along with people, and he almost never dreamed of gods, goblins and ghosts again. The last time was at the end of last year, when I dreamed of a little ghost in brown clothes asking me for directions and where I was. Then this time. “In the dream, there was an old woman wearing golden clothes, who called herself the Mother of Gold and Stone. She did not elaborate on her origins, but I know that she was a deity under the command of the True Lord Baosheng under the Heavenly Weng. In fact, the main deity of the Jingyun Temple is the True Lord Baosheng and the priests and spirits under him. "In the first dream, she told me that many Taoists in Jingyun Temple were her followers. She asked me why I destroyed Jingyun Temple and injured her followers for no reason!" "What do you think, Taoist friend?" Lin Jue asked. "I told the truth about what those Taoists in Jingyun Temple did and what they did wrong." Fan Tianshi said, "Then the old mother of gold and stone argued with me, saying that even if such a thing happened, it should be investigated and sentenced by the government, saying that what I did was a private punishment." He paused for a moment: "I would argue that in today's capital, matters involving demons, ghosts, gods, and magic are often not handled by government offices. Instead, they are handed over to the Ministry of Rites and then entrusted to the Juxian Mansion. It is reasonable for me to eradicate the evil demons and demons, and there is no transgression or violation of the law." These few words attracted the attention of everyone in the courtyard. Not only Lin Jue was looking at him, but Luo Gong also lost his tiredness. Instead, he crossed his arms and stared at him, listening carefully. The little junior sister also put down her broom and looked over here with the fox. "And then?" "Then she slandered me, saying that I did this not for the purpose of exorcising the demon, but for fame, or even for the money of Jingyun Temple." Fan Tianshi said, "Fortunately, fortunately, Brother Dao had already informed me in advance that Brother Dao had not taken a single thing from Jingyun Temple, and I answered her the same way." Lin Jue listened and nodded.

This can also be considered a reminder from the "Wei girl" at that time. No matter how powerful the Nine Heavens Gods are, or how corrupt they are, they can never act exactly like monsters and demons. If you don't do bad things during the day, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night. As long as the order of the Nine Heavens has not collapsed, there are still rules. As long as you act uprightly, you will have nothing to fear even if you face the Nine Heavens God. But after all, some gods have fallen, just like officials in the human world, who have become corrupt. If you displease them, it is unlikely that they will search for evidence impartially and seriously and clear your name because you have done nothing wrong. It would be good enough if they don't fabricate evidence to slander you. If you leave any evidence behind when you act, they may use it to attack you. Such things are recorded in ancient books. Therefore, apart from picking up a cloth bag after killing the tall and thin Taoist priest, Lin Jue did not take anything from Jingyun Temple. The reason was that he could judge from the Golden Light Curse that these Taoist priests were offering sacrifices to gods. This is just like working in the government, you have to be more careful. Lin Jue shook his head, retracted his thoughts, and turned to look at Master Fan: "Fellow Daoist Fan, aren't you afraid?" Master Fan heard this but did not answer. However, Lin Jue had already figured out from his slight change in expression that he must have been somewhat uneasy at the time, otherwise he would not have come to find him so early in the morning. But how could Master Fan say such a thing? Not to mention saying such things, even such emotions would never appear on Master Fan Tianshi's face. "I had a clear conscience, so I argued with her and even scolded her. It took me a long time to finally get rid of her." Master Fan continued, "But I didn't expect that she came again in the second half of the night." "What did she say this time?" "..." Fan Tianshi's expression suddenly became very strange: "This time she actually came here to admit her mistake." "Hmm? Admit your mistake?" Lin Jue and his companions were also stunned, somewhat unable to believe it. "yes…… “Perhaps she went to Jingyun Temple to investigate and found that the treasures in the temple were not lost, and she could not find any other reasons to criticize me. "Maybe she's just too angry. "Or maybe, or maybe she was persuaded by me, or overwhelmed by my aura, or was afraid that I would link this matter to her, so her attitude this time was much better than before." Master Fan tried his best to maintain his expression and not show any pride: "She also said that what the Taoist priests did in Jingyun Temple had nothing to do with her, and she was not aware of it. The golden light that those Taoist priests borrowed was also lent by her in strict accordance with the rules and regulations of the Nine Heavens God. The amount and strength of the golden light were exactly the same, which is enough to prove that she neither showed favoritism nor abused her power. As for why those Taoist priests had the magic scrolls, it was not her responsibility." "..." Lin Jue and Luo Gong could not help but look at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that this Master Fan has deceived even the gods? Although Lin Jue knew that the gods above the Nine Heavens were not a monolithic entity, but were divided into many different factions, plus there were many idle immortals who had neither official positions nor factions, and the overall structure was much looser than the imperial court on earth, such a thing was still a little hard to imagine.

But then again, the bodies of gods were originally created by human will. The imperial court could confer titles on some minor gods of mountains and rivers, and could also depose gods. Today, Fan Tianshi has such a great prestige in the capital, and his status in Juxian Mansion is so transcendent, just like some famous and virtuous ministers with extremely high prestige in ancient times, who are popular among the people. However, ordinary immortals cannot kill him directly. Once he opens his mouth, it may not be easy to kill a rebellious demon, but it is still very easy to bring down a god. Building temples for gods requires approval from the Ministry of Rites. Could it be that Master Fan is no match for those officials in the Ministry of Rites? Thinking about it this way, Lin Jue was surprised to find that the gods were somewhat awed by him. This was actually something that was both conceivable and understandable? "That's not all." Tianshi Fan continued, "There are also those golden and silver insects. She also explained to me that she gave them to Jingyun Temple many years ago to be used for exorcising monsters. But I didn't expect that after those Taoists from Jingyun Temple exorcised the monsters, before returning the insects, they actually secretly cultivated some of them, kept them privately, and passed them down from generation to generation until now." "Ok?" Lin Jue and Luo Gong looked at each other again. Doesn't this mean directly that these golden and silver alien insects came from her? Unexpectedly, the matter that he and Mr. Luo had no clue about and had not even thought of investigating, but the Old Mother Jinshi, out of fear of Master Fan, was so smart that she came to them and told them. How credible is this explanation? Lin Jue couldn't help but think. After Master Fan finished speaking, he just sat there in silence, without making any comment. It seemed that in his opinion, his task was only to tell Lin Jue these things truthfully. As for whether these words were true or false, it was Lin Jue's business and it was not for him to judge. After a long time, Lin Jue sighed: "Fan Daoyou is really capable." Master Fan was immediately terrified and did not dare to agree. …… Ask for monthly votes at the beginning of the month!
