Chapter 190: Cleverly Attracting the Green Seedling God There is an ancient road along the wall ahead. On one side is vast farmland with some seasonal vegetables or newly planted winter wheat, and on the other side is a rocky cliff. Several caves were carved out on the cliff and used as temples. They were decorated with beams, pillars and tile eaves, and were quite impressive. Lin Jue and his junior sister changed out of their Taoist robes and put on ordinary clothes, standing far away. "Do you remember clearly, Junior Sister?" "I remember it clearly, Senior Brother! Oh, that's not right!" The little Junior Sister said in a serious tone, and quickly changed her words, "Brother!" "What if the people come looking for us?" "We are miserable! We want an explanation!" "Remember to act realistically and don't let on that we are not easy to mess with, so as not to scare the Green Seed God." Lin Jue said, "We don't know if and when it will come. During this period we must be alert, but there is no need to be too nervous. According to my guess, the Green Seed God must have some skills, but he will not be good at fighting." "Brother, I'm afraid I can't perform well." The little sister said worriedly, "I can't speak."
"I said, just cooperate." "But you're not good at lying, brother." "What else can we do?" "remembered!" "Take it—" Lin Jue stretched out his hand, with a bean in his hand: "If you can't take your sword, then use my sword pill. The spell I summon is the same as the bean soldier." "Sword beans!" The junior sister picked up the beans from his hand. "Sword pill." Lin Jue said, and then told her, "The beans fall and the wind rises, and the soldiers and horses appear." "The beans fall and the wind rises, the soldiers and horses appear!" In a flash, the beans quickly grew bigger and longer! In an instant, a long sword appeared in her hand, but because she didn't hold it in the right direction, the scabbard first poked her stomach. Then the hand holding the hilt had to stretch forward, and because her hand was not long enough, the sword fell out of her hand. Fortunately, she had practiced sword skills more than Lin Jue, and her reaction was quick. She grabbed the sword before it fell to the ground. "Remember, my sword ball is not perfectly round. When it falls into the palm of your hand, it will be horizontally long. And it has two small round tips, which are the direction of the sword head and the sword tail. Don't point them at yourself. Once you become proficient, you will be able to control it freely." Lin Jue reminded the little junior sister, "Please remember this first." "remember." The junior sister rubbed her belly and chanted the spell again: "The body returns to Lingdou, and the soldiers return to the Great Wall." The sword suddenly turned back into a bean. "go!" The two of them walked towards the temple under the cliff. On the way, a man picked up a stone.
It was indeed a cave carved out of the wall. Not only was there a temple carved out of the mountain, but there were also many niches decorated with murals, a roof to shelter from the rain, and a vermilion gate, which was quite impressive. Lin Jue couldn't help but look around and then followed his junior sister over the threshold. His eyes darkened and he entered the temple. A strong smell of incense rushed to my nose. A little flame was swaying on the altar, illuminating a statue of an evil god in the center. The statue had a bloated figure, was covered in a long robe and had no visible face. The people around were suffering from famine, but here there was a lot of incense burning, and they even lit eternal lamps with fragrant oil. Before Lin Jue could make a move, the junior sister aimed at the head of the statue, raised the stone in her hand high, and smashed it at it. "Oh!" One hit! Moreover, the junior sister was very strong. With just one blow, not only was the head of the statue smashed, but even the hard stone was broken into several pieces. The eternal lamp was hit by the flying stones and instantly went out. "have to!" Lin Jue smiled as soon as he saw it. No need to do it yourself. He threw the stone and sat down against the wall in the cave temple. At the same time, start to control your expression. It was already getting late and no one came to offer sacrifices. The two of them sat here as it slowly got dark. This Qingmiao God was once dealt with by an uncle in Mingxia County. He finally escaped and probably learned his lesson. The timid and cautious Lin Jue and others need to be more careful if they want to get rid of it. Therefore, Lin Jue didn't even bring Fu Yao with him. The night lights were not lit. The second and third brothers are not nearby either. This was not entirely out of caution, but because there were too many people suffering from famine here. The second senior brother had quickly given away all the famine-relief pills along the way, so he had to find a place to continue refining them. The third senior brother was responsible for searching for him and buying materials for refining the famine-relief pills in the city. He even asked for the bottle of spiritual dew that Lin Jue collected on the road, so that he could extract the spiritual charm of the mountains and rivers from it. Therefore, if the Qingmiao God comes, it will most likely be them alone. Lin Jue was not afraid. At this moment, he closed his eyes and thought about the suffering people he saw along the way. His mood was naturally complicated. Thinking that Fuyao, who had never left him for several years, was still sleeping in a hole somewhere in the mountains outside, he naturally missed her a little in his heart and slowly fell asleep. The junior sister sat beside him, a foot away, her hand tightly grasping the sword ball in her sleeve, her eyes closed, and she was constantly rehearsing tomorrow's conversation in her mind - although the senior brother said that he would do all the talking, people who practice Taoism are not good at lying, and the senior brother is not a person who likes to lie, so how could she let him do all the talking? Slowly I fell asleep. Before I knew it, it was the next morning. I don’t know when the junior sister woke up, but Lin Juetian woke up at dawn and then sat on the ground in a daze. It was really boring that he couldn’t even meditate and practice here. Until the noise outside disturbed them. Several farmers walked along the official road with complicated expressions, including some confusion, some helplessness, and some fear, as they walked towards the temple.
There are a total of three temples dedicated to the Green Miao God in Langfeng County, one is in the county town, and the remaining two are on the roadside in the wilderness. Only the one in the city has a keeper, and the other two are also managed by the keeper. These people were not temple priests, but farmers who lived near another temple. Last night, they were in their dreams and were shocked when the Qingmiao God came to their door. In the dream, the Green Seed God told them that there was something wrong with the statue in his temple and ordered them to come and check it out. They all woke up in shock and were very scared. In the morning, they looked at each other to make sure it was true and then came together trembling with fear. When I pushed the door open, the first thing I saw was that the Qingmiao statue in the middle had been smashed by someone. Several people were immediately shocked. Looking inside the temple again, there were two people in cloth clothes huddled in a corner. A man and a woman, both young. "This……" An old farmer with wrinkles all over his face looked at the two men, at a loss. He hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Why are you here? Who smashed the statue?" “We smashed it.” Lin Jue stood up and said, holding on to the wall. Several people were shocked again. What happened last time they offended the Qingmiao God? They are still suffering from it. How could they have thought that someone would dare to smash the statue of the Qingmiao God? But they were just a group of farmers, not very good at speaking, so they could only speak haltingly: "You...are so brave..." "Do you know that this is a spiritual god?" "Why...why did you smash the statue?" As the junior sister listened to what they said, she wanted to say a few words on behalf of her senior brother who was also not good at lying, but she opened her mouth to speak several times and closed it every time. It seems like I have completely forgotten about last night's rehearsal. I couldn't help feeling a little anxious for a moment. Senior brother is not good at lying. But when I turned my head, I saw—— I saw my senior brother standing against the wall, filled with grief and anger: "Damn gods!" Just one sentence shocked several people in the room. Several farmers stared at him blankly. The junior sister also looked up at him blankly. "This damn god! What evil has he done? You still worship him! His statue should have been smashed long ago! If this temple wasn't carved out of the mountain, I would have burned it down!" Lin Jue was filled with indignation and denounced. The junior sister was even more stunned.
Seeing this, several farmers were also panicked and asked hurriedly: "what happened?" "What else?" Lin Jue gritted his teeth and said: "My brother and I were originally from Langfeng County. Our family was poor. Because my second uncle was doing business in Cuiwei County, we were fostered in his house, leaving our elderly parents at home to farm and take care of our grandparents! Originally, we were able to make a living relying on those few acres of thin land, but we never thought that this year's crops would be killed by the Green Seedling God! Without a season of food, my father, mother, and the elderly, unexpectedly, unexpectedly... My brother and I received the letter and came back to visit our relatives, and then we found out, discovered..." Lin Jue tried several times but couldn't say anything. Even the voice was a little choked. The farmers present looked at each other and fell silent. The Green Marrow God destroyed more than just one family’s crops, and starved more than just one family to death. Isn’t your own family also deeply affected by this? What this guy is talking about is not just his family, isn't it also the situation of his own family? Looking at the young man again, his face was filled with grief and anger. Then he looked at the woman huddled in the corner beside him. The woman was silent and had a dull expression, but her eyes were red and tears were flowing out. How can this not make people empathize and feel sad? "Hey... little brother..." A farmer's eyes turned red, and he wiped the tears from his face. He finally persuaded them: "What can we do? That's a fairy. We farmers are born to be bullied. We have never been able to fight anyone, let alone a fairy who can cast spells!" "Yes, little brother, it's useless for you to smash the statue of Qingmiao God. Won't we raise money to repair it when we return?" "If we make it angry, the next year's crop will be destroyed and more people will starve to death!" "Young man, let's go quickly. We were brought to this temple by the Green Seed God in a dream. We have to go to another temple to tell it when we go back. I think you should go back to that county as soon as possible." "If you leave, we'll just say we didn't see anything." "Yeah!" The farmers were very kind. "No!" Lin Jue said firmly, "My brother and I have made up our minds and we will not leave. I don't believe that the Green Seed God has the ability to beat two of us to death here!" "That's right!" The little sister also spoke up, "The hatred for killing our parents is irreconcilable. You are afraid of it, but we are not. If you have the guts, let it come here in person. We want to see what it can do!" "Bro……" "Fellow villagers, please don't say too much!" Lin Jue said, "Since it was the Green Seed God who asked you to come and see, then you should go back and tell it that if you want us to leave, it must come and give us an explanation! After all, it is a god, and I want to argue with it about whether what it did is right or wrong!" "My dear boy, you have become stupid from studying so much. You don't know anything. How can it argue with you?" "I don't care about that!" Lin Jue was very stubborn. "If it doesn't come, I will report it to Tianweng and the emperor! Or if it is in one of the temples here, we will go to each one and smash it to pieces!" "Ugh……" Several farmers sighed. After some persuasion, they had no choice but to leave and go back to burn incense and tell the Green Sprout God the truth and let him decide. As soon as they left, the temple priest of Qingmiao God came with two people.
The relationship between the temple keeper and the Qingmiao God is closer. The temple keeper depends on the Qingmiao God for his livelihood, and therefore is more difficult to deal with. Lin Jue and his junior sister replied with the same reason, pretending that they were not very powerful but were not afraid of the Qingmiao God at this time. They were determined to fight to the death with the Qingmiao God and even pushed and shoved the three temple keepers a few times. But people are human after all, and the temple keeper still felt a little guilty. The two people he brought would not wholeheartedly help the Qingmiao God to deal with the two people whose parents had starved to death because of the Qingmiao God. After pushing and shoving them for a few times, and seeing that they could not do anything to the two, they left. Only two people were left in the temple. The junior sister turned her head and stared at her senior brother, with a look of disbelief in her expression. Lin Jue also looked at her in surprise. The junior sister's eyes were still red with traces of tears. Without saying anything, both of them looked away. Another day passed, and some runners from the yamen came. When the officers came, the two men retreated and argued with them, saying that the Qingmiao God had not been conferred an imperial title by the court and was an evil god. The officers were unable to do anything to them. As soon as the officers left, they smashed the upper body of the statue. This went on until midnight on the fourth day. A perpetual lamp was lit in the temple, and the light filled the cave. Lin Jue was still sitting in the corner, curled up, sleeping with his eyes closed. As usual, he slept uneasily and would wake up out of habit every once in a while. But this time when I woke up and opened my eyes, I felt a cool breeze blowing in from the crack in the door, which made the eternal lamp shake for a while. There was a fluttering sound outside. Lin Jue immediately raised some warnings. “Puff, puff…” The sound is very soft and you can't hear it unless you listen carefully. Lin Jue sat against the wall and waited quietly. I only heard the sound approaching and then gradually fading away. "Ok?" Lin Jue was a little confused. Is it just a night bird? He frowned and thought, then waited a moment, then stood up and walked towards the door. When he opened the door and looked out, he saw a starry sky with endless fields under it. But when he looked around and even went out to take a look, he saw nothing. …… Asking for double monthly pass~ (End of this chapter)
