Chapter 365: Please protect me from the gods and help me become a nine-tailed fox
"Hasn't Taoist Master Song found the deity you want to offer incense to?" Mu Yunzi's eldest disciple came over and asked.
"Just looking through it casually." Song You raised his head and smiled, looking in front of him and asked, "Why do so many people come to worship Thunder God today?"
"What the Taoist Master doesn't know is that our Qingxiao Temple is dedicated to the God of Thunder, and it is also famous for the miraculous power of Thunder God. In the past, the incense in Lei God Temple was more abundant than in the main hall. Most of the people who come here to offer incense are also
They all come here to pray for the miraculous power of Thunder God to ward off evil spirits and bring peace." The young Taoist priest said respectfully, "Some time ago, there was a monster in Donghe County, wandering around, and loved to deceive children outside the village.
They didn't dare to go out to play. Even if they wanted to go out to herd cattle or hunt pigweed, they had to be with the adults. The monster was finally killed by a thunder a few days ago. When the people in the county heard about it, they came to us one after another to help.
Thunder Lord offers incense."
"Oh? What kind of monster is it?"
"It's a spirit made from a wild yellow fox."
"Fox demon..."
"Fox spirits are the most annoying. What I hate the most in my life are vixens!" Miss Wan Jiang's maid came from the side and said, "Thunder God is a good fighter!"
"you do not say……"
The young Taoist priest echoed, but did not dare to look at her.
Song You didn't say anything, looked away, and continued to read the sacred book.
"What is the Taoist looking at?
"Who does the Taoist priest want to find?
"What are you looking for?"
Three questions in a row, no secret of curiosity.
Song You had no choice but to close the divine book and look back at the temple.
But she saw that Miss Jiang was kneeling down in front of the main statue of the temple that night, her head lowered, very pious, and it seemed that she could not hear the words of her maid behind her, and the words of the maid had nothing to do with her.
"Please protect me from the Great Red Gold Emperor and help me cultivate the Nine Tails..."
All I can see is the majestic statue of the god in the temple, the curl of cigarette smoke, and her slender back, graceful black hair scattered around her neck, bowing her head and praying sincerely. For those who don't know, you may think this scene is very quiet and beautiful.
Then he held three sticks of incense and bowed three times before inserting them into the mud.
As if aware of the gaze from behind, she turned around. She still had the same peerless face that captivated the whole of Changjing, and her expression had not changed much. She looked at the Taoist with a smile, but somehow, with her status as a great demon and the one in front of her, she looked at her with a smile.
The god is like a blue smoke, which always gives people a strange feeling.
This fox demon was very confident in her ability to hide herself, and was sure that even the gods would not be able to detect her, so she dared to come to the temple to burn incense.
However, if you put incense, you should put incense, and she said this deliberately. It is difficult to tell whether she is itching somewhere on her body and wants to peel it off, or whether she is contemptuous of the Chijin Emperor, Tiangong and even Taoism as a whole.
This generation of Heavenly Palace does not have a good attitude towards demons.
When Dayan was founded, it started with slaying demons and slaying gods. It was difficult for Emperor Chijin not to be affected by this.
Most Taoist priests in the world are not friendly to demons.
The idea that people who are not from my race must have different minds still affects many people.
Fulong Temple's attitude towards demons is determined by many factors. Firstly, Fulong Temple is not afraid of demons, and the world's unfriendly attitude toward demons largely stems from fear and fear. Secondly, Fulong Temple was passed down from ancient times.
It is a time when humans and demons coexist, and Fulong Temple often has founders who are associated with demons and ghosts. Therefore, there is no reason to be particularly hostile to demons and ghosts.
"Why is the Taoist looking at the slave family?"
Song You stared at her for a moment and then asked:
"Aren't you afraid of being heard?"
"The Taoist priest was joking. The Chijin Emperor is the lord of the Heavenly Palace. He is aloof and leads all the gods. He is responsible for everything. There are not even ten thousand but thousands of temples dedicated to his statues in the world. As for inviting his statues and even portraits into the mansion,
I don't know how many people are worshiping." The woman smiled slightly, "He just absorbs the incense in the world, so who cares what the believers say?"
"Besides, if you hear it, you'll hear it. Who said monsters can't worship gods?" the maid added.
"rational……"
Song You nodded, and then asked: "Then why don't you go worship at the Lei Gong Temple outside?"
"There are too many people, we can't squeeze in." Miss Wan Jiang had already stood up, and her clothes that were spread out like flowers were immediately gathered in the middle, and were lifted up as she stood up, "What's more, Wan Jiang's request is very big, Lei Bu Zhengshen
Although he is extremely famous in the world of monsters, he still cannot fulfill Wan Jiang’s wish.”
"Lei Gong of Zhou is diligent. If we go to worship him, if the master can't keep his mouth shut, he will definitely hear us." The maid smiled and tried to discredit him, "Lei Gong Zhou is also stubborn and irritable. Once he hears this, he will definitely think it is a provocation. If he is just a Duke Lei of Zhou
We can barely cope with it, but if he comes with Thunder Lord and several righteous gods together, we will be in trouble."
"You two are very capable."
Song You narrowed his eyes after hearing this.
"After all, it comes from the Kyuubi..."
The maid smiled and told him that when she heard footsteps behind her, it was someone coming to offer incense. She immediately closed her mouth, leaned against the door, and stared at the visitor with a pair of novel eyes.
Song You pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Although Emperor Chijin is in charge of the Heavenly Palace, how can he protect the fox demon from cultivating the Nine Tails?
The Nine-tailed Sky Fox has also been recorded in Fulong Temple.
In the ancient times when the world was in chaos and great powers emerged, the nine-tailed fox was also one of the most powerful demons.
It is because of the existence of this person that until now, in the folk rumors in the Central Plains area, the fox demon is different from other monsters - it doesn't matter whether you are a red fox, white fox, blue fox, Tibetan fox or what kind of fox, and it doesn't matter whether you are in
No matter how you became a spirit, whether you have any abilities, whether you are smart or stupid, once you become a spirit, you will be distinguished from most other monsters in the eyes of the world.
At that time, Incense Shinto was still a small path.
However, I heard that the original one was very close to the human race, so for a long time, the fox demon was a symbol of holiness and auspiciousness, especially the nine-tailed fox, which was said to be an auspicious beast.
The reputation of fox demons has been tarnished in recent decades.
The reason is mostly related to those storytellers and scholars.
Legend has it that the fox demon is holy and beautiful. Since ancient times, literati have been sour and often nasty. They love to make up some messy things with these people to attract attention and satisfy their own psychology. At the beginning, Jingdao Lake at the foot of Yunding Mountain
Gods have also encountered similar situations because of their holiness and beauty. Many literati went for a night swim on the lake. After returning, they said that a goddess came to them in their dreams, making others jealous, and they were satisfied.
But over time, this fabrication became popular, and many people were spreading it indiscriminately. Some poor scholars believed it to be true, but found that they could not find a holy and beautiful fox demon to recommend themselves to the pillow mat, and even occasionally met them.
The fox demon doesn't even look at himself, so slander is the simplest and most effective method.
However, it cannot be ruled out that there are indeed some fox demons like those in the story, who are indulgent and lustful, or cunning and love to deceive others. Under the above-mentioned trends, they have contributed to the corruption of the reputation of fox demons.
Just like the Mirror Island Lake God, according to her, there may indeed be one of her maids who couldn't bear the loneliness and admired the literati, so she went to the lake at night to have a private meeting with the literati.
"May I ask, sir, when will we set off?"
"In a while."
"Everyone listens to the Taoist priest."
The fox demon nodded obediently.
“Ding dong dong…”
The man who just walked into the temple had finished burning incense and dropped a lot of copper coins into the merit box. He turned around, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he was surprised by the peerless beauty of the two women and started chatting with them by the door.
The woman just smiled and said nothing.
The maid leaned against the door and chatted with him.
Seeing this, Song You also walked in.
He quickly stopped in the middle of the temple, raised his head and looked at the statue of the god. He didn't know what to think about. After staring at each other for a moment, he lowered his head and walked to the merit box.
This box is actually unlocked.
When I opened it, I found a lot of copper coins and some broken silver inside.
It's a bit like letting anyone use it.
"..."
Song You also took out a piece of honeycomb silver from his arms and threw it into the merit box.
This was discussed with Empress Sanhua.
At that time, the people of Taohua Village pooled their money to hire Mu Yunzi from Qingxiao Temple in Donghe County to ward off evil spirits. Taohua Village was wealthy and collected nineteen taels of silver, which was not a lot. After all, people were risking their lives, but it was still better than when Song You first came down from the mountain.
The roadside tea seller who was rescued was given more money.
Although Song You was hiding in the mountains and couldn't see clearly at the time, Yanzi basically restored the detailed events for him.
In fact, it stands to reason that Empress Sanhua was invited by the government and received reward money from the government, while Taoist Mu Yunzi was invited by the villagers who pooled their money. There is no conflict between the two.
And in the end, Mu Yunzi really invited Zhou Lei Gong, which shows that he is capable of getting rid of the evil thing, but his ability is not as good as that of Sanhua Empress, and there may be casualties.
And even if it was Sanhua Empress who got rid of the zombies and Mu Yunzi had no contribution, but the villagers raised money to hire Mu Yunzi, it is up to the villagers to decide whether to give him a reward. Generally speaking, according to the rules, this kind of thing is ignored.
Taoist priest Mu Yunzi didn't make any effort. He traveled such a long distance and it took him two days to walk. He also took risks. No matter what, he had to pay for his hard work.
But Mu Yunzi gave it all to Empress Sanhua.
Sanhua Empress is sincere and has never been able to resist money. As soon as someone handed it to her, she immediately reached out and took it all without hesitation, and quickly put it into her bag.
The villagers gave Mu Yunzi a reward. Mu Yunzi felt that he had no merit and was not rewarded, so he gave it to Empress Sanhua, and Empress Sanhua agreed to accept it. There was nothing wrong with it, but she didn't leave anything for others, leaving her so empty.
It took a few days to make the trip, and it was really not that particular.
This time I came to visit to borrow the Taoist orthodox book to read the Tiangong Divine Book. I also came to respond to my original kindness. I was kind enough to receive two meals and one night's stay. I should also leave some money for sesame oil.
Song You withdrew his gaze and looked back——
The maid was actually still talking to the rich man.
They seemed to be having a good time chatting.
It wasn't until she saw Song You's gaze that she covered her mouth and chuckled, then sent the rich man away within a few words.
Song You looked outside again.
There are still villagers coming up the mountain, seemingly in groups, either crowded in the Lei Gong Temple, or gathered around the yard to talk, burn incense and squeeze in, and those praying lined up in front of the futon.
"well……"
Song You shook his head and walked out of the main hall.
"Sanhua Empress!"
He turned around and shouted.
There was a sudden movement on the tiled roof of the temple, and a calico cat appeared on the edge of the roof, staring down at him.
"Say goodbye to Taoist Mu Yunzi, and we are leaving."
"Well!"
The cat immediately jumped down.
The palace was much higher than ordinary houses, but she jumped without hesitation, stretching her graceful figure in the air, then landed steadily, looked left and right, and ran towards Song You.
Upon seeing this, Miss Wanjiang also took steps forward, lowering her head to follow him, and the maid followed behind her obediently.
The group went to say goodbye to Mu Yunzi.
Many people in the courtyard were watching them quietly.
