When Li Mu and Hu Yunniang got off Jinxiu Mountain, they were greeted by a coachman. They immediately got into the car and returned to Qinghe County.
As soon as I entered the east city gate, I saw smoke rising into the sky. A group of people were shouting and shouting, carrying wooden basins and buckets, and carrying water to put out the fire.
The City God's Temple that was lit by Li Mu was still burning until this moment. Smoke filled half of the city, and the scorched stench made people sick.
Li Mu opened the car curtain and took a look, frowning and said: "Why hasn't it been extinguished yet?"
Hu Yunniang said: "Master, there has been a drought recently, and the well water has dropped sharply. It is too slow for everyone to fetch water to put out the fire. Some people have saved a tank of water, but it is still for their own use. If we go to put out the fire again, I am afraid that we will not be able to drink water."
Difficult."
In Qinghe County, the groundwater level is low, and it is extremely difficult to dig wells to draw water. There are only twelve wells dug in the entire city, and there is one near the City God Temple.
However, the fire fighting with well water was surprisingly slow. The people who put out the fire had to put down the windlass and use wooden buckets to fetch water, then pour the water into another bucket, then trot to the vicinity of the City God Temple with the water, and then pour water to put out the fire.
During this period, collisions or falls inevitably occurred, causing half of the water in the bucket to be spilled halfway.
In such a situation, the efficiency of firefighting can be imagined.
These people tried their best to stop the fire from spreading to other places. They were all panting from exhaustion, with black ash in their noses and eyes. They sat near the Chenghuang Temple, their hearts boiling, fearing that the fire would spread.
, burned down his house.
Li Mu looked at the boss and couldn't bear it: "Oh, it's too miserable, it's too miserable!"
He shouted to the coachman: "Go quickly, go quickly, my heart will break when I see it!"
Hu Yunniang: "..."
Coachman: "..."
When the car passed through the Chenghuang Temple and passed the well at the intersection, Li Mu took out a puppet snake from his arms and threw it into the well.
This puppet snake was refined by Li Mu himself, and the snake's teeth were smeared with poison by him. He originally thought that when fighting with people, he could secretly use the poisonous snake to instigate people, but he didn't know that when he first started practicing, the puppet snake he refined was too big.
After transforming, let alone being a sinner, you can swallow an elephant without any problem!
Fighting is too much trouble.
In short, this is a failed puppet.
Boom!
After the puppet snake fell into the well, its body suddenly grew in size and turned into a colorful python that was more than ten feet long. It raised its head and pushed the windlass off the well mouth. It stood upright with the lower half of its body in the well and the upper half of its body.
Outside.
"Oh my god, what a big snake!"
"This big snake has become a spirit!"
"Grandpa, how many people do you need to be able to eat this?"
The people who were fetching water from the wells to put out the fire were so frightened that they ran for their lives in all directions. They did not even bother to get the buckets, and their shoes also ran away. They rolled and crawled, and a puff of smoke disappeared away.
There was that old man who couldn't run or walk very far, so he clung to the wall, shouting "Buddha and Taoism" incessantly, and his whole body was shaking.
They closed their eyes, not daring to look at the big snake, hoping that the big snake wouldn't be able to see them either.
The big snake snaked out from the mouth of the well, lifted half of its body, like a cobra, and looked around. The snake spit out the old snake, hissed, and blew out two streams of white air from its nostrils, looking down at the whole city, showing off its power. After a while, he lowered his head and took a sudden breath at the well mouth, sucking in a belly full of well water. Then he twisted his body, raised his head and came to the Chenghuang Temple, spraying out a column of water.
Puff puff puff!
This water column spurted out, and the fire in the City God's Temple was extinguished in half. The big snake returned to the well, took a long breath, and spurted out a water column again. After doing this for three times, the fire in the City God's Temple was finally extinguished, and the affected courtyard nearby was also covered with rain and dew.
, the fire was also put out.
After extinguishing the fire, the big snake twisted its body and plunged its tail into the well, leaving only its big head outside. It said in a human voice: "The cause of the chaos in Qinghe County is the fault of the city god. The evil spirits gathered together and the people suffered. The sages were furious and burned the temples! Special!
Tell the people, don’t panic, pray to Buddha and worship God, it’s better to strengthen yourself!”
After the big snake roared a few times, it gradually shrank back to the mouth of the well and disappeared.
The onlookers stood stunned for a long time, and then they realized that the old man fell to his knees and kept kowtowing: "The gods have appeared!"
When one person knelt down, more people knelt down towards the mouth of the well and kowtowed in unison.
In the afternoon, someone carried the confession and placed it beside the well mouth, burned incense and kowtowed, and began to worship the Heavenly Snake.
This well was also renamed Tian Snake Well, and even the water from the well seemed to be a bit sweeter than before.
As for the words that Orochi said, "It is better to seek God and worship Buddha than to strengthen oneself," they have long been forgotten by the people.
This god has already appeared. If we don’t worship him, how long will it take?
Therefore, after hearing the news, the people of Qinghe County came to pay their respects in an endless stream, making the area filled with smoke and bustling with people.
Someone suggested: "The Heavenly Snake said that the City God colluded with evil spirits, and the City God's Temple became a nest of monsters, and was burned down by the gods. Why don't we demolish the City God's Temple and build a Heavenly Snake Palace to facilitate worship?"
Heavenly Snake, please wish for a peaceful year?"
Everyone cheered loudly. Under the auspices of several respected old men, you donated two hangings and I donated one. Those who had money donated money and those who had no money contributed their efforts. They tore down the burned City God's Temple overnight and began to prepare for the construction of the Heavenly Snake Palace. At this time, Li Mu had already sat down in the bedroom. With his spiritual sense, he quietly took back the big snake puppet. Sensing what these foolish men and women were doing, Li Mu really didn't know what to say.
The poorer you are, the more pious you are!
Even though he had finished his last meal without finishing his last meal, he still had to squeeze money out of his teeth and donate it to the people building the temple, burn incense and kowtow as tribute, completely ignoring that his family was starving to death.
The rich burn incense and worship Buddha, but they have money to support them. Why are you poor people joining in the fun?
You said you have such bad money, what can you do? Even if it is to buy clothes for your children, it is better than praying to God.
Besides, you are so pious and still so poor, it is useless for you to believe in this god!
"Feudal superstition kills people!"
After Li Mu took back the puppet snake, he sighed and thought to himself: "But this is a world where ghosts and gods are rampant. When ordinary people feel the power of ghosts and gods, they will naturally feel awe towards them, so it is reasonable to worship them.

He opened his eyes and said to Hu Yunniang, who was protecting the law next to him: "Yunniang, all of you are leaving the house tonight and going to live in the courtyard on Qianmen Street. You are not allowed to come here without my order!"
Hu Yunniang was stunned and said: "Master, why is this?"
Her thoughts raced in her mind, and she suddenly understood: "Master, are you worried that the underworld will find out about the killing of the city god?"
Li Mu nodded and said: "The City God is a god of the underworld, belonging to the Netherworld and under the jurisdiction of Emperor Fengdu. Now that I have killed the City God of Qinghe County, how will the Netherworld be willing to stop? There must be someone from the underworld coming to cause trouble tonight, and you are here to get in the way.
, it distracts me in vain, so it’s better to avoid it as soon as possible.”
Hu Yunniang said anxiously: "Master, that god of the underworld has weird methods and is best at hurting people secretly. If a ghost messenger comes to inquire, tell him what the city god has done. It is not unreasonable to think of a ghost mission, right?
Can you kill people at will? If you let it go, maybe nothing will happen."
Li Mu smiled and said: "You and I both know what the City God did, so there is no reason that the God of the Yin Division does not know about it. I heard that there is a night wandering god in the Yin Division, who patrols the world at night and records the good and evil of living beings. How can it be possible to hide what the City God does from the night wandering god?
Eyes?"
Hu Yunniang remained silent.
The Qinghe County City God's behavior cannot be concealed from the Night Traveling God, and the City God is still gathering evil spirits in Qinghe County, which shows that he must be in collusion with the Night Traveling God.
Li Mu killed the city god. These evil spirits will definitely not listen to Li Mu's explanation. Perhaps killing and silencing is the best way to deal with it.
She hesitated for a while and then said: "Master, this servant has some skills in practicing the Red Flame Sword Scripture. How much power can the God of the Yin Division have? If they really come, I will kill them with one sword!"
Li Mu laughed loudly: "You are just a demon cultivator, how much magic power do you have? You even dare to take action against the Nether Messenger, how brave you are!"
He waved his hand to Hu Yunniang and said: "Go ahead, don't worry about me. Even if I am not an opponent of Yin Shen, I won't be arrested by them. I can protect myself."
Hu Yunniang cried and cried, and after a while, she turned around and left.
Li Mu shook his head and smiled, took some cut yellow paper, took out a red pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and began to slowly draw symbols on the yellow paper.
Hu Yunniang's Red Flame Sword Sutra not only inherits the skills of sword cultivation, but also some of the protective spells, dragon seals, phoenix seals, and Taoist runes, which are also very exquisite.
After all, one has to know how to outline the runes when refining the weapon. When refining the weapon, the runes are driven into the inside of the magic weapon, so that the essence of the surrounding world can be drawn, warm and nourish the magic weapon, and its quality can be improved step by step.
Even the Puppet Sect's Puppet Technique requires you to understand many runes when refining a puppet, in order to be able to draw Ming Ming and give the puppet some inspiration.
Li Mu has always been very interested in drawing talismans. Today, after Hu Yunniang left, he suddenly got up, picked up his pen and concentrated on it. According to what he thought, he poured his true energy into the ink brush and began to outline the runes on the talisman paper.
At the beginning, it was quite obscure, but as I drew more and more, gradually my heart and mind came together, my mind and energy came together, my true energy rolled, and I concentrated on the tip of the pen. Each dragon, seal, and phoenix seal slowly took shape from the pen. After taking shape, the golden light flashed.
, it flickers on and off, and after a while, the light becomes restrained.
He was painting vigorously, his mind was drunk, and he was completely forgetful. When he came back to his senses, he only felt that his stomach was empty, his bowels were thundering, and the table was already covered with talismans.
These talismans stand up one by one, forming several square formations like soldiers.
Under Li Mu's gaze, these talismans held their chests up and raised their heads, as if they were being inspected by the leader and trying to express themselves.
"It actually gave birth to spirituality!"
Li Mu put away the ink pen and looked at the talisman paper he had drawn. He couldn't help but feel satisfied: "When I drew the talisman for the first time, I knew its tricks, seduced the people, and inspired inspiration. It seems that my talent for drawing talismans is not low!"<
/p>
He moved his eyes away from the runes and looked out the window, realizing that it was already dark.
It started to get windy in the courtyard.
Amidst the sound of the wind, a huge figure stepped forward from a distance, gently sat on the roof opposite, and looked down at the bedroom where Li Mu was.
His feet were on the ground, and his boots were as high as the door panels. He was sitting with his knees bent, his knees almost reaching the eaves, and his legs spread apart, occupying half of the house.
The giant sat for a moment, leaned down, and slowly put his head toward the bedroom window. His face covered the entire window. His mouth and nose were printed on the mulberry paper, highlighting his huge outline. His mouth slowly opened, and he wanted to
Speak up.
At this time, Li Mu had already bent his bow and set up an arrow. As he thought, a blazing sun talisman flew out from the table and stuck tightly to the arrow. Then Li Mu shot out an arrow. The arrow penetrated the paper through the window and went straight into the giant's mouth. p>
Bang!
The blazing sun rune exploded instantly and turned into a ball of fire in the giant's mouth, burning fiercely.
