The guards, whose strength had been taken away by the mountain god, sat slumped in the hut, their muscles and bones all weak, and they no longer had the strength to stand up.
Li Xiuyuan was a little surprised by the fact that he was usually a fierce and vigorous man, but he suddenly became like this.
However, as long as things here can be solved, what does it matter if the mountain god takes away one day's strength.
"In the morning I will ask someone to take you back to rest. You have worked hard today. Go back and receive two taels of silver each." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Thank you, young master." Several guards said weakly.
Someone else suddenly laughed and said: "Others often say that you work hard to make money, and you work hard to make money. This time, they are really right. It turns out that strength can really be sold."
"What nonsense are you talking about? If the young master doesn't give you money, won't you contribute any more?" Ma Dong cursed.
"Just saying casually, if you don't have such an idea, how can you not do everything you can to do what the young master has asked you to do."
Just when these guards were weakly saying this.
Soon, in the dark night, a statue of a god floated in the air and flew towards here.
The statue is more than ten feet tall. It is carved from hard stone with colorful paintings on it. It is a statue of Vajra Arhat. This statue is also holding a sword and has an angry look. It is majestic and majestic. I don’t know what it is.
It's not because this statue is special, but I saw it wrong. I always feel that this statue is lifelike, as if it is coming to life.
Li Xiuyuan went to Lanruo Temple more than once. He visited Lanruo Temple several times. He didn't even know that there were two extraordinary statues in Lanruo Temple.
It seems that I was in a hurry before and didn't notice it carefully.
"Since the statue can suppress the ghosts in the underworld, please ask the mountain god to move it underground." Li Xiuyuan said.
Others couldn't see it, but he could see that underneath the statue, a burly man wearing armor and looking like a general was struggling to carry the statue. He was sweating profusely and was bearing a seemingly huge weight.
Every step I took left a deep footprint on the ground.
The mountain god gritted his teeth and nodded, then jumped into the cave with the statue on his back.
"Boom~!"
A huge sound came out, which seemed to be the sound of the statue falling to the ground. The statue had just landed at the gap in the underworld.
After a while, the mountain god flew out from the pit. He was some distance away from Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan, who had never dared to get too close, gasped from a distance: "Master Li, there is a divine light in this god.
Hidden in it, it is extremely heavy. If the little god had not borrowed the strength of the guards around Mr. Li before, the little god would have been crushed to death by this statue. The little god has now injured his body and cannot carry the second statue.
, please forgive me Mr. Li."
"Such a thing happened." Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then apologized quickly: "I wonder if the mountain god is okay?"
"It takes ten years of conditioning to recover." A certain mountain god sighed.
In other words, it takes ten years of incense to restore the Taoism that has been damaged for ten years.
Li Xiuyuan immediately said: "This matter was caused to help me. I have a few incense statues here. Please don't be polite to the mountain god."
He took out ten sticks of incense from the Ghost King's bag, then put it on the ground and lit it.
This is the incense he made, which was originally reserved for Qingmei for future use.
In the past, Qingmei relied on this incense to transform from an ordinary female ghost into a Yin soldier-level existence. She can manifest herself during the day, but she cannot be exposed to the sun.
The incense diffused by ten sticks of incense is extremely rich.
A certain mountain god looked at it in surprise and couldn't help but open his mouth and suck it in, swallowing it into his belly.
All of a sudden, the fatigue in his body was gone, and the previous injuries quickly recovered.
The ten sticks of incense burned very quickly and were completely burned out in a short time.
A mountain god in a certain place said with some lingering thoughts: "Master Li, your ten sticks of incense not only healed my injuries, but also added ten years of Taoism. This is something I didn't expect. This may be the good reward of the little god."
After saying that, he bowed to Li Xiuyuan to express his gratitude.
"This is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. There is still one statue left. Can you please trouble the mountain god to bear it for me?" Li Xiuyuan said.
A certain mountain god shook his head helplessly and said: "The strength that the little god brought before has been exhausted. Although he has gained ten years of Taoism, it is not enough to bear another statue. The little god can only help here.
There is really nothing I can do about the rest, so please forgive me Mr. Li."
"So that's the case, then I can't continue to trouble you, the mountain god." Li Xiuyuan said.
It can be seen that this mountain god is indeed unable to move. When he carried the first statue on his back, he gritted his teeth and persisted. If he had not taken away the strength of seven or eight guards before, I am afraid that the first statue would have been moved.
There's going to be a problem.
"The little god is incompetent, so he has to resign first. Several evil spirits escaped from the underworld before. The little god will catch them when he goes back. I hope he can help the people."
A certain mountain god's face was red, and he didn't seem to feel ashamed because he had finished helping him. He quickly turned into a sinister wind and disappeared before his eyes.
When Li Xiuyuan saw that the mountain god had left, he looked around and said, "Are there any ghosts and gods here who are here to help? If so, why not show up and see them."
His documents turned into blue smoke and moved with the wind. I believe that he has passed through many places and there should be many ghosts and gods willing to help, and this mountain god should not be the only one.
Immediately, sounds rang out in the night sky from all directions.
"I am an old ghost from a nearby village. Although I have some meager spiritual skills, I am far different from that mountain god. Therefore, I dare not show up for fear of missing Mr. Li's affairs."
"I am a spirit in the mountain, but I am not strong enough to carry the statue. I feel ashamed, so I just watch from the side."
"I belong to a certain place, but I can't do anything about it. Please forgive me, Mr. Li."
The nearby ghosts and gods made sounds one after another. These sounds came and went, and the number was really quite large. There were no less than ten or twenty ghosts and gods.
But their moral conduct was shallow, and the previous mountain god's moral conduct was the highest, so that's why he didn't show up.
Because all ghosts and gods know that showing up without help is just a joke.
"I'm very grateful to you for accepting the invitation. This matter is beyond your ability and there is nothing you can do about it. You don't need to blame yourself." Li Xiuyuan saluted in the direction of the voice, and then sent a few more
Pillar of incense.
"No reward for no merit, how can we enjoy the incense in vain if we didn't help?" A voice sounded in the darkness, with the flavor of righteous words.
"You're right. We didn't help. We can't accept this incense. We appreciate Mr. Li's kindness."
"We are too busy to help, but we have escaped many innocent ghosts before. We are willing to help Mr. Li capture them. Please wait a moment, Mr. Li."
The ghosts and gods in the dark said something to each other, and soon they all left.
They felt ashamed that they could not help me even though they came here, so they were willing to catch the evil ghosts who had escaped from the underworld.
Although it was only a short moment, Li Xiuyuan knew that there were not many innocent ghosts who escaped from the underworld during that time.
Li Xiuyuan felt several dark winds in the distance spread out, and a smell of incense filled the air. It could be seen that there were many ghosts and gods gathered nearby, but they were all small hairy gods, and most of them were not as good as the previous mountain god. It can be seen from this that
, a fact happened here.
That means that the Heavenly Palace has indeed transferred the gods from this earth away as promised.
Nowadays, the important gods here have disappeared, leaving only these nameless little gods. They are not recognized by the Heavenly Palace, so the Heavenly Palace cannot control them.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart.
The speed of the gods' deployment is quite fast, but they are not so active in exterminating demons.
Sooner or later, he will deal with those evil gods in the Heavenly Palace. It is these evil gods who occupy their positions and enjoy the offerings of incense, but do not help the people to subjugate and eliminate demons. This has just made this already chaotic world more and more chaotic.
More and more chaotic.
This is very similar to the corruption in the imperial court.
The human world has fallen, and this heavenly palace may also have fallen.
Now is not the time to think about this, Li Xiuyuan still has to consider how to move another statue.
However, at this moment, the roar of ghosts suddenly came from the originally peaceful cave, and waves of evil wind rushed out from the underground again, turning into countless ghosts and ghosts that flew out in all directions.
"Haha, he finally came out. It's useless for that person to put a golden body there. A golden body can't hold such a big gap."
"No, that person is still here and has not left. Let's leave quickly, otherwise we will be suppressed by him again."
"Go quickly, go quickly."
These escaped ghosts were not happy for long, but when they saw Li Xiuyuan not far away, they were so frightened that they ran away.
"Evil ghost, don't leave. Did you know that this place is under the jurisdiction of Tieshan?" At this time, a loud shout sounded.
However, I saw a gust of wind blowing in the distance, and the smell of incense and paper ash filled the air. I saw a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons stepping menacingly into the air and rushing toward the evil spirits who were trying to escape.
"It's those Yin soldiers from Tieshan." Li Xiuyuan's expression changed.
He was also preparing to return to the cave again to suppress the ghosts. At this time, Tieshan arrived with the Yin soldiers, which made him feel relieved.
Tieshan has eight hundred Yin soldiers and hundreds of ghost soldiers under his command. It shouldn't be difficult to hold this gap with such a force.
Li Xiuyuan saw these Yin soldiers holding knives and forks, rushing towards the evil ghosts who were trying to escape. Some of the evil ghosts had their arms cut off and fell to the ground screaming in pain.
It was split in half and fell to the ground unable to recover for a long time.
Some were so frightened that they trembled all over and knelt on the ground, kowtow and begged for mercy.
Although there are many evil ghosts in the underworld, in terms of Taoism, the Taoism of these Yin soldiers brought by Tieshan are higher.
Li ghosts are just tough ghosts at best, ghosts are one level behind them, but Yin soldiers are higher than them.
Unless you encounter some particularly powerful ghosts, you are no match for the Yin soldiers.
