When Li Xiuyuan walked out of the ancestral hall, he thought it would be the same as the last time he was in Xiahe Village, with dark clouds covering the sky and bursts of thunder, but in fact there was no such phenomenon.
Everything in the sky seemed very calm, and there were no strange phenomena.
"Huh?" Li Xiuyuan was confused: "What's going on? Why didn't anything happen?"
He clearly felt that the God of Thunder in the sky had received his offering and had already reacted.
That bolt from the blue is the best proof.
However, when the thunder sounded, Li Xiuyuan did not see the general spirit of Thunder God in the sky. Not only that, not even a thunder cloud condensed.
"Is my face useless?" He couldn't help but lowered his head and thought.
But at this time, the guard suddenly reminded: "Young Master, look over there, there is a strange-looking person coming this way."
Li Xiuyuan immediately raised his head and looked over, his eyes suddenly condensed.
But I saw a scorched black spot on the grass not far away, as if struck by lightning. At this moment, there was a man with a bare upper body, his whole body was vermilion, and there were lightning patterns on it. His appearance was also weird, with a sharp mouth.
It has the same beak as a bird, and its expression is not human at all, and its eyes are as bright as firelight.
As this person walked along, every time his feet touched the ground, he would leave a scorched black footprint, as if he had been burned by fire.
"Who is this person? Why is he so weird? Could he be a monster?" the guard said in a low voice.
Li Xiuyuan looked at this person and immediately waved his hand and said: "Quiet, this is the Lord of Thunder from the sky coming down to earth. Don't disrespect the righteous God in the sky."
After saying that, he strode forward to greet her.
The other guards were immediately shocked when they heard this. They looked at this strange man with fear in their eyes. This red-skinned strange man with a sharp mouth was actually the Thunder God in the sky.
"I am the ghost-swallowing thunder god in heaven. At the invitation of the saints on earth, I have come down to earth to help the saints on earth quell the ghosts."
Although this red-skinned weirdo with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks has a strange appearance, he speaks politely and politely. He bowed to Li Xiuyuan like a scholar and looked very respectful.
"It turns out that a thunder god from the sky came down to earth, and Li Xiuyuan is polite."
"I don't dare to let the saints in the world salute." The Thunder Lord hurriedly returned the salute with a respectful attitude.
After giving a salute, Li Xiuyuan also had a look of doubt in his eyes: "This time, why did the Thunder Lord from the sky come down to earth in person during this invitation? Why didn't he control thunder and lightning in the clouds and kill evil ghosts like the previous Thunder Lords?"
Duke Tungui Lei said with a smile: "Today's descending to earth is a good job. After I received the memorial from the saint on earth, I argued with several colleagues in heaven. Finally, it was agreed that I would descend to earth alone to eliminate ghosts, and the saint on earth
I don’t know, but to quell the demons and monsters, we don’t necessarily have to attract thunder and lightning. Thunder and lightning are too overbearing, and this place is close to a mortal city. I’m afraid there will be some accidental damage if the thunder falls, and some methods are more effective than bringing down thunder and lightning.”
Li Xiuyuan nodded: "In that case, please ask Lei Gong to kill the evil spirits causing trouble here and restore peace to this place."
"How dare you disobey the sage's order again." Duke Tungui Thunder saluted again and spit out a vermilion pill from his mouth.
He dropped the pill on the ground and a burst of fire suddenly appeared.
There was a sulfurous, burning smell wafting around.
As the firelight rose, I saw the figures of many poultry flashing in the firelight, and then I saw big scarlet roosters crowing loudly and flapping their wings, emerging from the firelight.
It flew out.
These big scarlet roosters are different from ordinary attacks. Their feathers are filled with light, as if there is fire, and their crows are like bursts of thunder, extremely loud.
"This is?" Li Xiuyuan was suddenly surprised.
In his eyes, these roosters were really roosters, not phantoms of anything, and he could not see their true form.
The Ghost Swallowing Thunder God said: "Sage, don't be surprised. This is my true body. I once attained enlightenment as a rooster, ascended to heaven, and became the God of Thunder. Now I can eliminate ghosts from the lower world. This method is the most efficient and will not disturb anyone."
Mortals accidentally hurt living beings."
"That's it." Li Xiuyuan suddenly realized.
A total of ninety-nine of these roosters flew out of the fire. Each one was exactly the same size. They stood neatly on the ground like well-trained soldiers, raising their heads.
Motionless, like a statue.
"Go ahead and kill all the evil spirits here." Ghost Swallowing Thunder Lord waved his hand and signaled.
The ninety-nine roosters first nodded and saluted Li Xiuyuan, and then they clucked, flapped their wings and ran in all directions.
Li Xiuyuan glanced away and saw a big scarlet rooster coming to a grave mound. The big rooster pecked at the soil on the grave mound, and actually took out a fat earthworm from the soil, and then its neck
He lifted it up and swallowed it in his belly.
"That's not an earthworm, it's an evil spirit."
He saw that the earthworm was transformed into an evil spirit. At this moment, it was bitten by the big rooster and it immediately struggled hard. There was a look of extreme fear in its eyes, but no matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape the fate of being eaten.
After the big rooster ate an evil ghost, it quickly flapped its wings and ran to the next grave mound. It also pecked at the grave mound. In just one click, it could catch an earthworm and then proceed as before.
Usually swallowed in one gulp.
The evil spirits were like food in front of these big roosters. They had no strength to resist at all and were pecked at one after another.
"No wonder you are called Ghost-Swallowing Thunder Lord. This title is true." Li Xiuyuan nodded: "However, although there are many evil ghosts here, there are also good ghosts in the nearby tombs. I wonder how Thunder Lord will deal with them?"
Duke Tungui Lei said with a smile: "Good and evil have their own proportions. Sage, please see."
After saying that, he pointed to a big rooster in the distance.
The big rooster was pecking on an inconspicuous grave mound. After taking out an earthworm, it tore the earthworm into two pieces with its sharp claws, swallowed one piece, and buried the other piece in the soil.
.
"This ghost is a little evil, I should eat half of his body so that he will no longer be able to do evil in the future." Ghost Swallowing Thunder Lord said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded, so I feel relieved."
Looking at the big scarlet roosters running all over the mountains and fields, it seems that a lot of evil spirits will be eaten by this ghost-swallowing thunder god today.
These evil ghosts of the Chu family enjoyed incense in the human world, transformed into beauties, and absorbed other people's yang energy and essence. But in the end, they could not escape the fate of being eaten by Thunder God.
Seriously, every drink and every peck counts for a certain amount of time.
However, the number of evil spirits here exceeded his imagination. Ninety-nine big roosters were running around among the tombs. There were traces at first, but then there were no traces. They were probably running into the nearby mountains and forests.
Went to hunt evil spirits.
"There are so many evil ghosts in the world, why can't the Thunder Lord from the sky come down to the earth from time to time to kill them? It would also bring clarity to the world." Li Xiuyuan said suddenly.
The Ghost-Swallowing Thunder Lord said: "Evil ghosts in the human world are supposed to be managed by the city gods and the underworld. The Thunder Lord in the sky is mainly responsible for those big harms that do evil things. We can't take care of these small harms, and as the Thunder Lord in the sky, we can't control them at any time."
To come down to earth, you need permission from the Heavenly Lord, just like a mortal general needs the emperor's order to act in battle."
"Since you need permission, why can Lei Gong come down to earth so quickly?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
Tungui Lei Gong smiled and said: "The greatest permission is given by the saints on earth to offer sacrifices to gods. After receiving the invitation from saints on earth, any god who meets the requirements can come to earth to help without any order. This is the joint order of several deities in the heavenly palace. Who can
You can't violate it either. Last time the saint asked the gods to offer sacrifices to the four Thunder Gods, and now they often mention it. By the way, they also asked me to thank the saint for building the Thunder God Temple for them and increasing the incense."
I'm really proud of myself.
Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but think so.
"Li Xiuyuan, you are such a vicious thief. You are so vicious that you have wiped out all the ancestors of my Chu family. I will fight with you."
At this time, the old servant who had been guarding the ancestral hall rushed over like crazy again, holding a hatchet in his hand, but he was shouting in a woman's voice.
Listening to this voice, it turned out to be the lady who was beside Mr. Chu that day.
"Young master, be careful."
The surrounding guards immediately drew their swords and rushed forward to stop the crazy old servant.
At this time, Duke Tungui Thunder opened his mouth and spat out, a thunderclap sounded, and then he saw a bolt of thunder ejected from his mouth and landed on the old servant.
"Ah~!"
Chu Shilang's wife let out a miserable cry and was instantly struck by lightning. Her soul was shattered and dissipated in the air.
Surprisingly, even though the old servant was struck by lightning, he was not injured at all, but fell to the ground in a daze.
"This is a well-behaved ghost. He hid deep without being caught before. Now he has no choice but to be driven out. He is forced to possess this old servant. He wants to make a last ditch effort. Now I have killed him.
If it is destroyed, please rest assured, saint." said Lord Tungui Thunder.
Li Xiuyuan was not panicked. The ghosts in the Chu Family Cemetery were at the end of their rope and could not make trouble. What could they do if they were possessed by an old slave? Even if Thunder God did not take action, he was not afraid.
After taking a look at the disappearing evil ghost, I couldn't help but curiously asked: "What will happen to this evil ghost after death?"
"Some will become flies and suffer forever in hell, never entering the six realms of reincarnation. Some will turn into mayflies, earthworms, and weeds."
Lord Tungui Thunder said: "Everything has its place. It will not be born without a reason, nor will it die without a reason."
"So that's it." Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "By the way, this time Thunder Lord came to earth to help, I don't know how to express my gratitude? How about I build a few temples for you to increase the incense?"
The Ghost Swallowing Thunder Lord laughed and said, "It is our Thunder Lord's duty to eliminate ghosts and slay demons in the lower world. How can we ask for repayment from a saint on earth? But if a saint on earth is really sorry, why not give me a piece of clothing? I am a rooster."
Tao, the yang energy is too strong. After I became an immortal and became the God of Thunder, I turned into thunder and fire. Any clothes on my body will be burned completely. Even the fairy clothes woven by fairies will be burned. Until now.
You can only go shirtless, which is a very rude thing."
"This is a small thing. I just don't know how to give these clothes to each other?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"After the saint returns, he only needs to write his name on yellow paper, then fold out a piece of clothing, draw it with a red pen, and finally pack the copper basin and place it in the open space. I will take it away when the time comes."
said.
"This is simple, I'll do it later." Li Xiuyuan nodded.
"Thank you, saint." Duke Tungui Lei said with another salute.
