Since ancient times, solemn places such as Confucian temples, martial arts temples, monk temples, Taoist temples, and shrines have not tolerated the entry of aliens.
Unless it is a dilapidated temple or a burned palace, some monsters will enter, thus becoming a gathering place for monsters and evil spirits.
In a real temple, there is a golden body of Buddha and a statue of a god standing there to deter all evil spirits and monsters.
Emperor Wenchang, as the star king who presided over the literary movement, is now worshiped by scholars all over the world. The literary movement is flourishing, and his status far exceeds other gods. Just like in modern society, the God of Wealth receives more incense than the three pure and four royal Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
They all have more of the same.
In this world, the incense received by Emperor Wenchang is the best in the world except for Confucian masters.
Almost every household will worship this god to pray for the scholars in their family, or even hope to bring some culture to their family.
As a little fox demon, Hu Yunniang couldn't even cultivate a second tail, so she couldn't even get close to Wenchang Palace.
But Li Mu is a little unbelieving.
It’s not like he had to succeed in the imperial examination. He only wanted to take part in the imperial examination for convenience and had no utilitarian intentions. Since he had nothing to seek, it didn’t matter.
Other scholars treated Emperor Wenchang with utmost respect, but Li Mu didn't even know what Emperor Wenchang looked like, let alone respect, he didn't even respect him.
Now seeing that his little maid is as fearful of Wenchang Palace as a tiger, Li Mu's curiosity aroused: "That's strange, I want to see who dares not to let you in!"
Suddenly, three days had passed. This morning, Zhang Shihong came to visit Li Mu in person: "Brother Li, I learned from shopkeeper Sun that Brother Li also wanted to take the imperial examination. Brother, I shamelessly recommended myself and became Brother Li's sponsor for the provincial examination."
, I have already written all the paperwork, just waiting for Brother Li to pick it up at any time."
He was respectful to Li Mu: "But since Brother Li is from Qinghe County, we have to go to Gongyuan together during the autumn period after March, so it would be best to get to know the fellow villagers."
Li Mu smiled and said: "So you specially held this Wenchang Palace party for me? You really mean it!"
Zhang Shihong said happily: "This is what it should be! This is what it should be! Brother Li has been a life-saving grace to me. I am very happy to do what I can for Brother Li."
Li Mu laughed and said, "I don't dare take this seriously!"
After he left Zhang Shihong to drink a cup of tea, the coachman had just harnessed the carriage. Li Mu and Hu Yunniang got on the carriage together. Zhang Shihong smiled and said: "Brother Li, I will lead the way for you!"
He also got on his carriage and led the way to the east of the city.
When passing by the East City Gate, Li Mu suddenly felt something in his heart. He opened the curtain and looked at a building not far away: "Strange, why is there such a big group of evil spirit here?"
Hu Yunniang was peeling melon seeds for Li Mu at this time. When she heard this, she said: "Master, this place with evil spirit is our Town God's Temple in Qinghe County."
Li Mu was stunned and said: "City God's Temple? Then why is there so much evil spirit in this City God's Temple?"
Hu Yunniang said: "Our City God here likes to associate with monks and mountain spirits. During this period, monsters eat people and gather in Qinghe County. I am afraid that the City God's Temple has become a monster nest!"
Li Mu pondered slightly and stopped the carriage: "Ah Dong, please stop for a moment."
Upon hearing this, the coachman A Dong hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse: "Master, where should we stop?"
Li Mu said: "Stop right in front of the Chenghuang Temple."
Hu Yunniang was surprised: "Master!"
Li Mu waved his hand and said: "It's okay if you didn't hear some things. Now that you have heard them, you have to take a look at what's going on."
Hu Yunniang advised: "Master, why should we bother with this matter that the Netherworld doesn't care about? Even if this city god is colluding with spirits, it has nothing to do with us."
Li Mu said: "It has nothing to do with us? Then let me ask you, during the time I was in seclusion, did any monks come to cause trouble? Are those monks related to the City God?"
Hu Yunniang said: "There were a few blind people, but they were all dismissed by the slaves, and no bones were left."
When she said this, she pondered slightly: "Whether these monks are related to the city god, I don't know, but they were able to enter the city without any harm. This is obviously because the city god failed to fulfill his duties and allowed the monks and spirits to cause trouble in the city.
, the crime is not small!"
Li Mu said: "In this case, the city god allowed the evil heretics to come and cause trouble in the city. He knew clearly that he was dealing with us, but he didn't help us. It can be seen that he has been our enemy for a long time."
Hu Yunniang also had this idea in her mind, but the City God was conferred by the imperial court and a local official in the Netherworld. He was the righteous god. She, a little fox, was not qualified to comment.
Talking too much in vain will lead to karma and disaster in the future, including being hated by the netherworld and the gods, which will be very bad.
Unlike Li Mu, whose energy and spirit are as perfect as pearls, reincarnated as a saint, and has no taboos, even the mere city god is not in his eyes at all.
"Master, then I will accompany you!"
Seeing that Li Mu had made up his mind, Hu Yunniang mustered up her courage and said: "I can also use flying swords, just like a monk. Once you have a conflict with the city god, I can also help you..."
"It's none of your business, just wait outside!"
Li Mu reached out and rubbed Hu Yunniang's head: "Just wait for me in the car and don't move around."
At this time, the carriage had stopped in front of the City God's Temple. Li Mu slowly walked out of the car and stood in front of the City God's Temple.
A town god's temple in a county town has a limited area. This town god's temple in Qinghe County is only a courtyard with three entrances. The gate is open in broad daylight. The temple inside has been ill recently and has not been cleaned for several days.
The courtyard was filled with fallen leaves, and weeds had grown up in the corners of the walls and on the ground inside the courtyard. When Li Mu stepped among them, many birds started to fly, chirping and chirping non-stop.
"Noisy!"
Li Mu was upset when he heard that, his eyes scanned the air, his eyes were electric. When the Pure Yang Witness Technique was used, the flying bird he was looking at was headshot by the Red Flame Sword Qi on the spot.
Turning your eyes into sword energy, you really want to go as fast as you want. The screaming birds in the courtyard just took off and began to fall to the ground like dumplings, making a dull popping sound.
"City God!"
Li Mu held a spear in his hand and stood in the courtyard of the City God's Temple. He looked towards the main hall in front of him: "You can't keep the place safe. You are doing the opposite, colluding with evil spirits and monsters, and harming the people in the city. You should be punished for your crime!"
When he said this, he glanced around the courtyard: "Get out of here, all those monsters and monsters!"
These few words of Li Mu moved the true energy in his body, mixed with a mouthful of pure yang true energy. Every word burst out was like a thunder exploding on the scene. Speaking out a dozen words was equivalent to a dozen consecutive tones.
The huge thunder shook the entire City God's Temple, and the soil fell rustlingly.
Even Hu Yunniang who was outside the temple gate was so shocked that her head was dizzy, and her vision went black. A Dong, who was driving the car, felt his chest was tight, his breathing was not smooth, and he felt that his heart was about to explode.
"If the master shouts this, the monster will be beaten back to its original form!"
Hu Yunniang was so frightened that her heart was pounding: "It is broad daylight now. If the master lets go of the breath in his body and is reflected by the pure Yang Qi pillar, even a hundred Yin gods will not be enough for him to shout loudly."<
/p>
But after Li Mu shouted several times, he heard several screams of animals and miserable cries of humans in the courtyard: "Who? Which fellow Taoist came to the Chenghuang Temple to cause trouble?"
A leopard suddenly appeared in the courtyard. The man stood up and looked at Li Mu: "How brave you are to come here and run wild..."
Poof!
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Mu swayed and was already in front of him. He stabbed the gun. A huge heat wave suddenly emanated from the tip of the gun. It swept through the entire house in an instant and pinned the leopard in place. He shot right at the center of the house.
Settlement immediately.
"Noisy!"
Li Mu drew out his spear and did not look back or turn around. He clenched the spear fiercely and then stabbed. With a "pop" sound, a giant wolf that jumped behind him was stabbed through the left eye on the spot. The gun was lodged in the brain and he died an unexpected death.
"A bunch of mean-spirited people dare to attack your grandfather!"
Li Mu shook the spear in his hand and blew the giant wolf's head apart. He dragged the giant wolf away and walked towards the main hall of the City God's Temple: "A little City God, a clay puppet, and a dog-like thing dare to plot against me! Today I will break you.
The golden statue of the god has destroyed your three souls and six souls!"
He cursed loudly, took out a bow and arrow in his hand, turned around suddenly and shot to the left.
On the left, there was a weasel running along the base of the wall with its head lowered. It was about to run to the dog hole to escape when suddenly an arrow flew and nailed it to the spot.
"The monsters here have insufficient cultivation. After I shouted loudly, they exploded and revealed their true form. It can be seen that their foundation is shallow and they cannot solidify their human form."
Li Mu shot out an arrow, then retracted his bow and arrow, shouldered his mace, and strode forward. He had already arrived in front of the main hall.
