Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 263

The guards whose strength was taken away by the mountain god were all slumped in the straw shed, their muscles and bones were so weak that they didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Li Xiuyuan didn't expect that all of the normally fierce men suddenly became like this.

However, as long as the matter here can be resolved, what does it matter if the mountain god takes away a day's strength.

"In the morning, I will ask someone to take you back to rest. You have all worked hard today, and each of you will receive two taels of silver when you go back." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Thank you, young master." A few guards said weakly.

Someone suddenly laughed and said: "People often say that you work hard to make money, work hard to make money, this time it is really true, it turns out that strength can really be sold."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If the eldest young master doesn't give you money, won't you contribute?" Ma Dong scolded.

"Let's just say it casually. If you don't have such an idea, how can you not do what the young master ordered with all your heart?"

Just when these guards said this feebly.

Soon, in the dark night, a statue of a god floated in mid-air and flew towards here.

The statue is more than one foot high. It is carved out of hard stone and painted on it. It is a statue of a vajra arhat. It's not because of the specialness of this statue, but I still misread it. I always feel that this statue is lifelike, as if it is about to come alive.

It wasn't the first time that Li Xiuyuan went to Lanruo Temple. He visited Lanruo Temple several times. He didn't even know that there were such two extraordinary statues in Lanruo Temple.

It seems that I was too hasty before and didn't notice it seriously.

"Since the statue can restrain the ghosts of the underworld, please ask the mountain god to move it into the ground." Li Xiuyuan said.

Others can't see it, but he can see it. Under the statue, a burly man in armor like a general is strenuously walking towards the statue. He is sweating profusely, bearing what seems to be a huge weight. Every step left a deep footprint on the ground.

The mountain god gritted his teeth and nodded, and jumped into the cave with the statue on his back.

"Boom~!"

A loud sound came out, which seemed to be the sound of the statue falling to the ground. The statue had just landed in the gap in the underworld.

After a while, the mountain god flew out from the pit. He was a distance away from Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan, who had never dared to get too close, panted heavily from a distance: "Mr. Li, there is a divine light among the gods." It is extremely heavy to hide in it. If the little god hadn't borrowed the strength of the guards around Mr. Li before, the little god would probably be crushed to death by the statue. Now that the little god has injured his body, he can no longer carry the second statue. , please forgive me, Mr. Li."

"There is such a thing." Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then apologized: "I wonder if the mountain god is okay?"

"It takes ten years of conditioning to recover." A certain mountain god sighed.

That is to say, 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 sticks here, so please be kind to the mountain god."

He took out ten sticks of incense from the ghost king's bag, and then stuck them on the ground to light them.

This is the incense he made, and it was originally reserved for Qingmei to use in the future.

Previously, Qingmei relied on this incense to transform from an ordinary female ghost into a ghost soldier-level existence, and she could manifest it in the daytime, but she couldn't be exposed to the sun.

The incense that diffused from the ten sticks of incense was incomparably rich.

A certain mountain god looked at it in surprise, and couldn't help but opened his mouth and sucked it in, and swallowed it into his stomach.

All of a sudden, his exhausted body was swept away, and the previous injuries also quickly recovered.

The ten sticks of incense burned very quickly, and they were all burned out in a short while.

A mountain god in a certain place said with some insatiable intentions: "Mr. Li, your ten sticks of incense not only healed my injuries, but also increased my Taoism for ten years. I didn't expect this. Maybe this is the good reward of the little god."

After speaking, he saluted Li Xiuyuan again to express his gratitude.

"This is a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. There is still one god statue left, can you 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 took before has been exhausted. Although he has added ten years of Taoism, it is not enough to support another statue. The little god can only help here. The rest is really helpless, please forgive me, Mr. Li."

"So that's the case, then I won't be able to bother you anymore, Mountain God." Li Xiuyuan said.

It can be seen that the mountain god can't move anymore, and he has already gritted his teeth and insisted on bringing the first god statue back. If it hadn't taken away the strength of seven or eight guards before, I'm afraid the first god statue would be gone. Something is going wrong.

"The little god is incompetent, so he had to resign first. A few evil spirits escaped from the underworld before. When the little god returns, he will arrest them along the way. I hope he can help the common people."

The mountain god of a certain place was red-faced, and he didn't seem to feel ashamed because he had finished helping, and soon turned into a cloud of wind and disappeared before his eyes.

Seeing that the mountain god left, Li Xiuyuan said to the surroundings: "Are there still ghosts and gods here to help? If there are, why don't you show up and see."

His documents turned into green smoke and moved with the wind. I believe that he has passed through many lands. There should be many ghosts and gods willing to help, and this mountain god should not be the only one.

Immediately, voices sounded in the night sky in all directions.

"I'm an old ghost from a nearby village. Although I have some meager skills, I'm far from that mountain god, so I dare not show up, lest I miss Mr. Li's business."

"I'm a ghost in the mountains, but I don't have enough strength to carry the statue. I feel ashamed, so I just watch from the sidelines."

"I am the land of a certain place, but I can't do anything, please forgive me, Mr. Li."

The nearby ghosts and gods made sounds one after another, and these voices came one after another, and the number was really quite a lot, not less than a dozen or twenty ghosts and gods.

But their morality is superficial, and the former mountain god's morality was the highest, so he didn't show up.

Because all ghosts and gods know that it is just a joke to show up if they can't help.

"I am already very grateful that you were invited to come here. This matter is beyond your ability and is helpless. You don't need to blame yourself." Li Xiuyuan gave a salute to the direction the voice came from, and then sent a few more Stick incense.

"You don't get paid for nothing, how can we enjoy the incense for nothing if we don't help?" A voice sounded in the darkness, with the taste of righteous words.

"You're right, we didn't help, this incense is unacceptable, we appreciate Mr. Li's kindness."

"We are too busy to help, but we have escaped a lot of ghosts and ghosts before. We are willing to help arrest Mr. Li, and please wait for Mr. Li."

The ghosts and gods in the dark spoke to each other, and soon each left.

They felt ashamed that they hadn't been of any help, and they were willing to capture the evil spirits who had escaped from the underworld before.

Although it was only for a short time, Li Xiuyuan knew that there were not many evil spirits and ghosts who escaped from the underworld during that time.

Li Xiuyuan felt several dark winds blowing in the distance, and a scent of incense filled the air. It can be seen that there are many ghosts and gods gathered nearby, but they are all small hairy gods, and most of them are not as good as the previous mountain god. This shows that , a fact occurs here.

That is, Tiangong really took away the gods of this land as promised.

Now the important gods here are gone, only these nameless little gods are left. They are not recognized by Tiangong, so Tiangong can't control them.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart.

The speed of the gods' drawing is fast, but I have never seen such an active spirit in eliminating demons and demons.

He will solve those evil gods in the heavenly palace sooner or later. It is these evil gods who occupy the position, enjoy the incense and worship, but do not help the people to subdue demons and demons, which makes this chaotic world worse. The more chaotic.

This is very similar to the corruption of the imperial court.

The world has fallen, and this heavenly palace may also fall.

Right now is not the time to think about this, Li Xiuyuan has to think about how to move another statue.

However, at this moment, there was a whistling sound of fierce ghosts in the originally peaceful cave, and gusts of evil wind rushed out from the ground again, turning into countless ghosts and flying in all directions.

"Haha, it still came out after all. It's useless for that person to put a golden body there. A golden body can't cover such a big gap."

"No, that person is still here and hasn't left. Let's go, or we will be suppressed by him again."

"Go fast, go fast."

These escaped evil spirits were not happy for too long, but when they saw Li Xiuyuan not far away, they fled away in fright.

"Evil ghost, don't go, do you know that this place is under the jurisdiction of my Tieshan?" At this time, a loud shout sounded.

But I saw a dark wind blowing in the distance, and the smell of incense and paper ashes filled the air. I saw a group of soldiers in armor and armed with weapons stepping aggressively in the mid-air and rushing towards the evil spirits who were trying to escape.

"It's the Yin soldiers from Tieshan." Li Xiuyuan's expression changed.

He was about to return to the cave again to suppress the ghosts. At this time, Tieshan arrived with Yin soldiers, which made him feel relieved.

Tieshan has [-] yin soldiers and hundreds of ghost soldiers under his command. It should not be difficult for such a force to guard the gap.

Li Xiuyuan saw that these ghost soldiers rushed towards the ghosts with knives and forks in their hands, and couldn't help but hack at the ghosts trying to escape. Some of the ghosts had their arms cut off, fell to the ground in pain and screamed, It was split in two, and fell to the ground for a long time and could not recover.

Others were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Although there are many ghosts in the underworld, in terms of Taoism, these Yin soldiers brought by Tieshan are better.

At best, fierce ghosts are just fierce ghosts, ghosts are one level behind, but Yin soldiers are higher than them.

Unless you encounter some exceptionally powerful ghosts, they are no match for Yin soldiers.
