I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 218
"This……

"This this this..."

The little Taoist was flustered and at a loss.

At this moment, he suddenly felt hot in his arms, which seemed to be caused by the dozens of copper coins he had just put into his arms, so he quickly reached into his arms and took out the money.

Sure enough, the money is hot.

But the money felt hot even through the clothes, so how could he just hold it in his hand?
"Oh!"

In desperation, the little Taoist immediately threw the money out.

This money is really hot.

It was really hard to throw.

More than a dozen copper coins were thrown into the air immediately, and they were scattered one after another. Some hit the hanging red and the windbreaker, some fell on the altar, and some jingled and rolled down, rolling all over the ground. As soon as these copper coins touch combustibles, they will burst into flames with a bang and burn.

"Canopy..."

"Canopy..."

"Canopy..."

Group after group of flames exploded in the temple, illuminating everything in the temple clearly at dusk.

The little Taoist didn't understand why, it was all done by the Taoist in front of him.

"you you you……"

The little Taoist turned to look at Song You, wanting to accuse him, but just thinking about it casually, he knew that this Taoist was something he couldn't afford, so he ran out quickly.

"on fire!

"on fire!

"Master! Someone set fire in the temple!
"Brother! I'm going to call Master!
"Master!
"Master is gone!"

The two young Taoist priests met in the yard in a hurry. They both looked like teenagers, with panic all over their faces, and the older one was not only panic, but also a little angry.

"Why did it catch fire?"

"Someone set fire to it."

"Who dares to set fire to my Lei Qingguan?"

"It's the Taoist priest who came in just now..."

At this time, a raging fire had already ignited in the temple, and I don't know how the fire burned so fast. In such a short time, the whole palace was already on fire.

Not only the architectural structure of the palace was burnt to the point of collapse and damage, but also the statues made of clay were burnt red. Under the light of the fire, the statues of Fu Leigong and Emperor Chijin seemed to be a little more powerful.

At this time, Song You stood at the entrance of the temple, looking at the statue in the temple.

The three-flowered cat had also come to the door from the courtyard, with its two front paws pawing at the high threshold, it raised its head and stared at him, as if worried that he would be burned, and was unwilling to call him.

"boom……"

A pillar collapsed, sending sparks flying.

Song You just turned around, and his eyes just met the two little Taoist priests outside.

"This Taoist..."

The older little Taoist priest was quite courageous, and dared to question the Taoist at the door, but he saw the flames soaring into the sky, sparks flying, and the wind and fire tossed the Taoist's hair and skirt, but they couldn't damage the Taoist, while the statue in the temple behind him was gone. It was burnt to pieces and collapsed, falling everywhere.

The little Taoist's words got stuck.

"how?"

The young Taoist said aloud.

"You, you, you..." The little Taoist finally came to his senses, "I'll let you in with good intentions, and I'm also a cultivator. What kind of grievances do I, Lei Qingguan have with you? You actually want to set fire to my Taoist temple?"

"You two, do you know that your master, for the sake of self-cultivation, disregarded human life outside?"

"How is it possible?" The older little Taoist priest suddenly stared angrily, "My master has practiced here for many years, and he has helped countless people at the foot of the mountain. How could he do such evil things?"

"Absolutely impossible! What we are waiting to comprehend is the Taoist classics, and what we serve is also the righteous god of Leibu. Master's spells and cultivation bases also come naturally. How can there be a saying that people's lives are ignored for the sake of cultivation?"

"Not only is human life disregarded, but it is carefully designed so that people will hate death."

"Stop slandering!"

"Although my master said that he received a lot of money, it was also for the sake of purity. Over the years, he went down the mountain every year to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons for people, at least ten times a year. How could he be the wicked person you mentioned?"

Although the two were afraid, they also stared at Song You.

Song You also looked at them, and after a while, he showed a smile:
"That's it."

After speaking, he stepped forward and left the temple.

The cat looked up and stared at it, and quickly followed after seeing it.

"There should be some money in Guanzhong. You two should take some for yourself, so let's leave separately. Don't take other things that you shouldn't take."

One person and one cat walked across the yard, passing by two little Taoist priests.

"boom!"

The fire in the temple blazed, almost rushing out the door.

For a moment, the entire temple was filled with flames, and it felt like a heat wave was coming, and the light was dazzling, lighting up the night in the mountain.

……

A moment later, behind the Taoist temple.

A middle-aged Taoist in a clean Taoist robe fell limply on the ground, his face was pale, his breath was gossamer, and his eyes were closed. If his chest was not still heaving slightly, he would be no different from death.And his right hand has been cut off from the wrist and is bleeding continuously.

A swordsman stood beside him holding a sword, a piece of his clothes was torn at the waist, and a large area was stained red with blood.

Not far away, a bay red horse is grazing quietly.

The black horse stood obediently behind its master.

Song You came and looked at the swordsman's waist:
"Are your feet hurt?"

"A few minor injuries." The swordsman said calmly, and pointed at the middle-aged Taoist next to him with his sword, "This man is quite cunning. Although he thought it was impossible for us to find him, he made preparations in advance. Some insects were left on the mountain in advance. When Shu intercepted him, he only cared about killing the insects flying in front of him, but he was careless, and unexpectedly, there were several on the grass behind him."

"This bug is poisonous."

"Don't worry, Mr. Thanks to Mr. Shu, he has made some progress in the way of swordsmanship. Although he can't talk about martial arts, he has some extraordinary things." Shu Yifan said, "I know this bug is poisonous, but the poison can't help it." It spread in a short period of time, and Shu has quickly gouged out the meat, and it will be fine in a few days."

"That's fine."

Song You nodded and looked at the Taoist on the ground.

"I heard that Taoist friends have practiced in Lei Qingguan for many years and have helped many people at the foot of the mountain. I don't know how they got on this road?"

"Falling into the hands of a fellow daoist, it is absolutely impossible for a fellow daoist to spare the poor Taoist..." The Taoist on the ground still closed his eyes, and said weakly, "In this case, if you want to kill or cut, fellow daoist, please do it yourself..."

"Do you have any regrets?"

"What's the use of saying this..."

"That's true." Song You nodded, "What you did is really a crime that cannot be punished. Logically speaking, I am not qualified to judge you. Dare to hand over your step to the government, and moreover, with the current injury of your step, you may not be able to go to the government. Considering how many years you have been on the mountain, you have done some good deeds for the people at the bottom of the mountain, so I ask you to choose it yourself. , or die naturally."

"..."

"Don't choose?"

"..."

The Taoist on the ground was silent for a long time, he turned his head down, and he could see the flames soaring into the sky not far away, and then he said: "The poor Taoist has practiced half his life on the mountain, so let the poor Taoist die on this mountain like this..."

Naturally, he couldn't see it from this angle, and a smile appeared on the face of the Taoist in front of him.

"Is your step really a Taoist priest on the mountain?"

"Could it be possible to have fakes?"

"I'm very curious."

"..."

The Taoist on the ground became weaker and weaker, but he still said: "Pindao has been practicing Taoism with his master since he was a child. Although we, Lei Qingguan, do not know magic, we sincerely serve the gods in the Heavenly Palace and concentrate on studying Taoism. The invasion created many refugees, these refugees are more terrible than locusts, our Taoist temple was robbed, Master Poor Dao was starved to death..."

He breathed a sigh of relief halfway through:
"Later, Pindao left the Taoist temple and wandered in the world like a duckweed. He accidentally got some cultivation methods and spells, and after several twists and turns, he returned to the Taoist temple.

The gravedigger's voice was very low, some words could hardly be heard clearly, and some words could hardly be pronounced.

However, Song You still heard clearly.

"I see."

Song You nodded, and then asked the question he cared about: "Does the Chief of the Lei Department know that you practice evil ways?"

"How could he know..."

"Then why is it only for the head of the Lei Department?"

"Ah……"

The Taoist on the ground twitched the corners of his mouth: "All the gods in the Ministry of Thunder are righteous, jealous of evil, and good at exorcising evil spirits. They can't defeat evil spirits. Naturally, they can only worship Fu Leigong."

"Is that so..."

Song You nodded again, roughly understanding.

Although the heavenly gods are said to be tall and stalwart, they seem to have great abilities and virtues, but in fact there are also many messy things. In this regard, they are a bit similar to the human court.

Just like the gods of Raibe——

The God of Thunder is a very ancient type of god. People may have been photographed by Gun Gun Tianwei long before there was civilization, and they began to think that there was a god who mastered the power of thunder in the dark.I don't know when the god in charge of thunder and punishment was born, but it should be older than most gods.

Among the gods of Leibu, there are also many veterans.

However, the gods are not getting stronger as they get older. If so, there would be no Heavenly Palace for the Scarlet Gold Emperor.

The gods are the more believers, the higher the ability.

Zhou Leigong is one of the youngest priests of the Leibu, and there are many Leibu priests who were born in the previous dynasties, but Fu Leigong, the head of the Leibu, is not actually old.

Fu Leigong was the chief official of the Ministry of Thunder in the previous dynasty, but his path to becoming a god was different from other priests of the Ministry of Leisure. The emperor's confidant general was named Lei Gong after his death.After several generations, he was gradually appointed as the chief official of the Ministry of Thunder by the later emperors for different purposes.

The imperial court ordered, the scholars publicized it, and the people recognized it.

In fact, he may not be upright, nor may he be jealous of evil, and he may not be able to recognize evil spirits with his eyes. Maybe he would be more suitable to be the priest of the Doubu than the Leibu.

Song You looked at the gravedigger Taoist on the ground again.

The grave digger was very patient, with his eyes closed, he didn't know whether he was waiting for death or for him to leave.

Song You is also very patient, waiting for him to die.

But waiting and waiting, he opened his mouth and said:
"I've thought about it for a long time. I should want to take the ghosts of Ding's grandson and Cao's young lady. One of them is the most yang and the other is the most yin. I don't know much about other things."

The gravedigger lay down without answering.

Seems to be speechless.

It is true that most of his vitality has been lost. Several sword wounds on his body and blood from his wrists have already stained the ground red. In addition to the injuries to his mind and soul last night, how can he stand up to such devastation?

Song You continued:
"Your step is good at manipulating the soul. It is impossible not to know. Now that the world has changed, it has become easier to become a ghost. Especially for people like this step, they will almost certainly become ghosts after death. And I don't know if it is true or not. The words from the bottom of my heart moved me, I just want to let me believe that I really want to die here."

The gravedigger opened his eyes immediately.

But the young Taoist shook his head at him: "I don't feel any shame or remorse in my heart, I only have regrets, and what I am upset about is nothing but luck. I just want to become a ghost and do it again."

Only then did the Taoist gravedigger show a bit of panic.
