Chapter 141 Small Gun and Small Sword "Is this a god?" Lin Jue saw Mrs. Liu slowly kneeling down with her back to him, then lying on the ground until she tilted sideways and her entire body began to slowly disappear. At the same time, this narrow world was also disappearing. "But that's it..." Lin Jue knew that Liu Taihou was just a minor god, and an evil one at that, but he came here at his invitation to fight him. In fact, he had taken the initiative to walk into his trap, and Liu Taihou was taking advantage. I have not been able to use magic here, not even the curse of protection and the sword-attaching spell, let alone bean soldiers and darts. It is like fighting him with my hands and feet tied. If it were daytime and I took the initiative to find him, it would definitely be much easier to get rid of him than it is now. But then again, Liu Tai was okay. After all, he was a soldier in his lifetime. He had skills and a fighting spirit. If he were an ordinary shrine god, such as those who were worshipped as gods by the people because of their outstanding virtues or good deeds, even if they were righteous gods, they would probably not be as good as him. At this moment, I felt that what Master said was right. It is the virtue of the gods that is worthy of admiration.

This is actually the same as humans. In a few breaths, this world completely disappeared. Lin Jue naturally lost all vision and could not help but close his eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I was already upstairs at the Shu family's house. He was still lying on the couch, holding his sword in his arms. The fox was curled up on the other side of the couch, next to his feet, in a ball on the thick white blanket, and was just opening his eyes in a daze. "Hey~" After waking up, the fox obviously felt strange and couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream, so he stood up, shook his body and head, then stared at him in confusion. Lin Jue reached into his arms immediately. The five bean soldiers are still there. The darts are also on him. Even the vials containing the elixirs were there. Immediately relieved. The fox turned his head and looked to the side again. Lin Jue followed its gaze and raised his hand again. A flame suddenly lit up an inch above his fingertips, illuminating the room. I saw Shu Chengzhi standing beside me, looking at me with a look of surprise and trembling. Then he pointed to the ground next to him. Lin Jue was about to ask him, but when he turned his eyes, he saw in the light of the fire that where Shu Chengzhi pointed, there was a small gun about two feet long and as thick as a chopstick, and a small sword one foot long dropped to the ground. Lin Jue stood up and picked up the gun and sword. "This size..." Considering what Uncle Shu said yesterday, that the statue that Liu Taihou had used for more than two hundred years was only two feet high, I realized that this must be the spear and sword that were originally attached to the statue.

After all, there had been decades of intense incense burning and more than a hundred years of continuous sacrifices, so the spears and swords had also acquired spiritual charm. It can be melted down to make bean-soldier weapons. At this moment, there was the sound of a door opening next to him, followed by the sound of someone stepping on the wooden floor, flowing candlelight and shadows, until the door was pushed open. "Squeak..." The person who came in was Uncle Shu who had just put on his clothes, and the woman next to him who looked panicked. "what happened?" "what happened?" Lin Jue looked at them, and they looked at Lin Jue and Shu Chengzhi, and both sides asked the same question at the same time. "Lin, Second Brother Lin, just now, just now you talked in your sleep. I got up to check on you and saw that you were shaking all the time, as if you had a nightmare." Shu Chengzhi said tremblingly, "Then you talked a few more words in your sleep, and I couldn't help but call my parents, and you woke up." He paused and pointed at his hand: "And then, there were these two things that fell from somewhere and landed on the ground." "So that's it..." Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was something serious. Uncle Shu and the woman became even more nervous. They quickly looked at Lin Jue, then at the small gun and sword in his hand. They naturally recognized that these were the ones on the original statue of Liu Taihou, and were immediately shocked. "Don't be afraid." Lin Jue walked over calmly and lit the candlesticks in the room. The two candles filled the whole room with light. "Just now, Liu Taihou came to me in my dream and fought with me. I beat him to death. This is his weapon." He paused for a moment: "As for whether he is still alive in reality, you will know when you go to his temple in Lingshanao tomorrow morning. I burned him with fire and pierced his chest with a sword from behind. If his statue has similar injuries or is broken, it means that I have eliminated him. This kind of thing will never happen again." "really?" The two middle-aged men were immediately excited when they heard this. Shu Chengzhi also opened his eyes wide. I couldn't believe it at first, but looking at Lin Jue's expression, he didn't seem to be faking it, especially the small gun and sword that fell from the ground out of thin air, which couldn't deceive anyone. "Just look at it and you'll find out." "If that's the case, it's a great favor!" said Uncle Shu. "We are willing to give you whatever you want!" "Uncle Shu, you're joking. We are all from the same hometown. When we were in the village before, our family received a lot of care from everyone. What I did was what I should do. There is no need to thank me." Lin Jue said, "I just hope that my uncle, aunt and cousin can still live in the village and maintain harmonious neighborhood relations with everyone." "It's natural. It's natural." "Go back and rest." "Is everything okay?" "Even if something happens, I'm here." "Good good..."

The couple then carried the candlestick back. Lin Jue also looked at Shu Chengzhi. If I were also surnamed Shu, this guy would be considered my cousin, and I would want to warn him so that he could avoid similar things in the future. But after thinking about it carefully, he did nothing wrong. The old teacher in the village academy had no problem educating the children of the surname Shu in morality. So I can only say: "Take a good rest. This is not your fault. When you worship gods in the future, choose to worship gods with virtues. There is no need to be paranoid and worry too much." Afterwards, Shu Chengzhi was still uneasy and asked him a few more questions. Although it was a bit long-winded, Lin Jue knew that it was human nature. He patiently explained to him and finally let him return to his bed. Lin Jue also lay down on the couch again. What I was thinking in my mind was whether what I just experienced was a dream or an illusion, and how much was real and how much was fake. Anyway, there were some bruises on his body. I don't know when, I fell asleep again. But I didn't expect that another god would come to me in my dream. This time was not like Liu Taihou just now, who used words to call himself in step by step, nor was it like the previous time in the Temple of the Gods in Yi County, where he entered into a dream unknowingly. He was not as cunning and treacherous as Liu Taihou, nor did he have as high abilities as Yili Shenjun. He could only come through dreams. When he came to Lin Jue, since Lin Jue himself had some skills, it was like "knocking on the door". Lin Jue felt it and heard some faint sounds, and then he gradually relaxed cautiously. Suddenly, a picture appeared in front of my eyes. I was standing at the gate of Sangu Temple. On the vermilion temple wall, the three characters "Xianji Temple" are written above, and a couplet is written below: The thousand-year sacrifice guarantees good weather and good harvests in all directions; Admired by generations, it protects the peace and prosperity of the nine provinces. "Lin Jue." Someone called him from inside, a female voice. Through the temple gate, you can see the pond inside. Lin Jue frowned and walked in. The Sangu Temple was roughly the same as I remembered it, except that the light and shadows were too bright and a little blurry. Once I entered the courtyard, I could see the three goddesses standing on the altar through the main hall door. They were lifelike at this time, while the other statues in the temple had disappeared. "Lin Jue." The one who called him was the eldest of the three aunts. "Greetings, Third Lady." Lin Jue walked into the hall and bowed immediately. "Thank you for your kindness, Third Lady, and thank you three ladies for protecting the people of Shu Village." "Come on!" This was said by my aunt. "Huh? Why?" Lin Jue stood up and asked in confusion, "Didn't I get rid of Liu Taihou?"

"If we don't leave now, it might be disadvantageous." "Why?" "Forget it. This is just a dream. It only takes a moment to say a few more words. Just tell him a few more words." Second Aunt said, "If you don't explain clearly, even if he leaves, I'm afraid he won't leave decisively." Lin Jue frowned and listened carefully. "You did get rid of Liu Taihou, but we already knew something was wrong." My sister-in-law took over her words: "Since last winter, there have been demons outside the village trying to harass the villagers of Shu Village, but we have never found a suitable opportunity. Secondly, these villagers often worship us, so as long as they do not actively contact the demons, we can protect them. Until this time, Chengzhi, the son of the Shu family, was studying abroad. He rarely worshipped us and took the initiative to get involved with Liu Taihou, so he took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. He also has the magical power of incense, so it is difficult for us to deal with him." It sounded like they were explaining why they failed to protect Shu Chengzhi, and it also seemed like they wanted to use their own mouths to inform the villagers so that they would know what they had done, and at the same time subtly ask the villagers to offer more sincere offerings. Although Lin Jue thought so, he didn't feel it was a big deal. The gods do need to bless people. The gods do need incense. This is as it should be. The Third Lady was able to protect Shu Village, so that Shu Village was not affected by the previous turmoil of the demon king. She was already a role model for the gods of this era. As for those who did not come to burn incense regularly, whether they deliberately did not protect them or they really could not protect them, there was really no need to delve into it. But there are obviously more important things at this time. "We felt something was wrong a long time ago and had our suspicions. We always wondered what they were up to, but we didn't know," said the aunt. "I don't know now. But at this moment, there are already monsters outside the village entrance." said the second aunt. "Think about Liu Taihou. He became a god because of his bravery and ability in battle, but he could not be canonized as a true god because of his bad behavior and bullying when he was young. It was fine at the beginning. After all, he was a god and so many people came to worship him, and he did what a god should do. But as time went by, the incense gradually faded, and his heart became crooked again. The longer he stayed in this world, the more afraid he was of death and extinction. This time, he was probably bewitched and used by these monsters." When Lin Jue heard this, he frowned and asked, "What monster?" "Maybe it's related to Liu Taihou, and he came to avenge him." "But it's more likely that he's here to find you." "Anyway, hurry up and if we can get back to Yishan safely and nothing happens, it won't be too late to call the commander to deal with it." The three goddesses spoke one by one. "This monster is much more powerful than Liu Taihou. Whether it comes to avenge Liu Taihou or to find you, you can't deal with it." The eldest aunt spoke again, "We can stop it, but it's probably waiting for you outside the village. Once you leave the village, you may be attacked. Why don't we confuse it first and let it think you are still in the village, and then you can leave at night over the mountain." "This……" "Make a quick decision." The three aunts all looked at him. The eldest aunt had a gentle expression and waved her hand to dispel the dream. The second aunt smiled and said that he had it figured out. The youngest aunt anxiously urged him to leave, and the dream slowly disappeared at this time. Lin Jue immediately sat up again. At this time, Shu Chengzhi was not asleep yet, and neither was the fox. It was only a moment.

Lin Jue's mind was suddenly filled with a myriad of thoughts. What kind of monster is this? What is its intention? Could it be another demon that bears grudges like the Rakshasa bird? Or was it simply the Rakshasa bird that was behind this? "Chengzhi." "What's wrong, Brother Lin?" "It's okay. I just want to ask you a question." Lin Jue wanted to ask directly, but after hearing his nervous tone, he softened his tone. "Before, in order to deal with Liu Taihou, in addition to the old master, how many sorcerers and witches did your parents invite?" "We invited two witches, the priest from the Sangu Temple, a sorcerer, and a monk." "How are they?" "Nothing." "Didn't you fight with that Liu Taihou?" "The two witches didn't, they were useless. The priest of the Sangu Temple didn't either, they just said that Sangu couldn't deal with him. The sorcerer and the monk fought with Liu Taihou for a while, but in my opinion, in my opinion, the sorcerer was pretending, Liu Taihou scared him away with just a few words. Only the monk fought with Liu Taihou, but he wasn't hurt." "How's the old man?" "Nothing happened." "That's it." "what happened?" "nothing." Lin Jue thought quickly. Although those witches and sorcerers came to exorcise evil spirits, they certainly did not smash his statue as he did. Moreover, he was a real Taoist who really knew magic, so the threat from him was naturally higher. It was normal for Liu Taihou to not make things too difficult for those witches and sorcerers, but to fight him to the death right away. Because I really want to get rid of him, and I can really get rid of him. The only exception is Lao Fu Zi. The old man also smashed his statue and temple, but he is still intact until now, as if Liu Taihou had never looked for him. Originally, this was not completely unexplainable. For example, many demons and ghosts are afraid of virtuous people. It may be because these respected people may become gods after death. Even if they do not become gods, they will be more powerful than ordinary people when they go to the underworld to file a complaint after death. It may also be that these monsters and ghosts themselves respect or love virtue. The former is based on the fact that these monsters and ghosts themselves have certain virtues, just like some bandits and thieves with bottom lines and ethics. Even if they have gone astray, they still have some sense and respect for those who can stick to their original intentions. Teachers themselves are respected. The latter may be the feeling of demons and ghosts towards "qi". Any demons and ghosts that can see the five qi seem to be closer to those with pure five qi. Lin Jue did not ask Liu Taihou the reason. It's too late and meaningless to ask now. Lin Jue thought about it carefully and decided to trust Third Aunt's judgment. Even if Third Aunt made a wrong judgment, at most she would only allow herself to leave the village two or three hours earlier.

"Chengzhi, I suddenly remembered something, so I have to leave quickly. You can tell your parents tomorrow and tell them that I really have something to do and don't have time to say goodbye." Lin Jue said to him, standing up with the sword in hand, "Remember one thing." "whats the matter?" "Even if I go to study abroad in the future, I can only come back once a year. Every time I come back, I must go to pay homage to my third aunt first." "remember." Shu Chengzhi nodded repeatedly. Actually, there was no need to remind him of this. Lin Jue looked calm, but his movements were clean and neat. He quickly packed his bags, raised his chin to the fox, pushed the door open, climbed over the railing, and jumped down from the patio. The fox followed him and landed lightly. But it couldn't help but feel a little confused—— It seems like I have dreamt of this scene. Then you go out and fight with others, right? So it took small steps first, ran to the door, and looked outside through the crack. Where is that guy? I'm going to give him a good fight this time! (End of this chapter)
