Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 222 God of Plague
In just a moment, everyone in the Town God's Temple, except Li Xiuyuan and others, fell asleep and fell to the ground.

It looks like I won't be able to wake up from work for a while, and I guess I will sleep for a long time.

And taking advantage of them going to bed early, Li Xiuyuan and his party left the Town God's Temple.

"Teacher, those Yin soldiers you left in the City God's Temple, the guards have been sent away by the teacher, and they are no longer in the City God's Temple." The blind Taoist walked vigorously and said as he walked.

"I don't know where Tieshan and the others have gone?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The blind Taoist said: "It is placed outside the city. After all, a few days ago, a high-ranking official from the court came to Guobei City. Ghosts and gods will retreat when they encounter such a high-ranking official. In addition, that high-ranking official has occupied the Town God's Temple. How dare you compete with the imperial court officials for the place, so you can only escape out of the city temporarily, but these are not the point, the point is about the plague."

"Master knows the whole story of this plague?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The blind Taoist smiled and said, "It's not difficult to calculate. It must be that the God of Plague walked around the city, and that's why the people in the city were infected with the plague."

"Plague God?" Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.

"Is there such a god?"

"Of course there is. In the Heavenly Palace, there is the Ministry of Thunder that kills demons, and there is also the Ministry of Plague that is in charge of plagues. This plague is probably related to the God of Plague. Only by finding the God of Plague and letting the God of Plague stop spreading the plague will this catastrophe happen. It can calm down." The blind man said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Where is the God of Plague?"

"I don't know, the location of the gods is illusory, how can I find it casually." The blind Taoist said.

"Master, can't you figure it out?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The blind Taoist pondered for a while and said: "It's not that it can't be calculated, it's just that even if you calculate the position of the plague god as a teacher, the plague god will quickly notice it. If the plague god leaves immediately and changes the direction of spreading the plague, then it will cause trouble. Plagues occurred in many places where there were no plagues before, and the cause and effect are very heavy."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Even if the God of Plague should be aware of it, it shouldn't be that fast. If he can catch up, it shouldn't be difficult to stop the God of Plague."

"That's the reason, but the teacher has to calculate the location and find the God of Plague. He has no skills at all. By the time he finds it, the God of Plague must have left." The blind Taoist said helplessly.

Li Xiuyuan said: "The master only needs to calculate the location, I can go to find the God of Plague."

The blind Taoist shook his head and said: "You are not that fast, and Taoism is useless on you, otherwise, my teacher can give you a magic talisman, allowing you to travel eight hundred miles a day, enough to catch up to the plague god, and if it is a magic talisman If it is given to others, other people do not have such great ability to stop the plague god, unfortunately, as long as the junior brother who is the teacher is still there, the two of us work together, maybe we can stop the plague god from spreading the plague."

"Don't worry, master. When I went to Hua County a few days ago, I got a painting. It is a picture of a dragon and a horse by Zhang Sengyou in Tang Dynasty. If I rode a dragon and a horse, I would be able to travel thousands of miles a day, and I should be able to catch up with the god of plague." Li Cultivate a long way.

The blind man froze for a moment: "Zhang Sengyou's picture of a dragon and a horse? Where is it?"

"Naturally." Li Xiuyuan took out the dragon and horse picture from the ghost king's bag, and after unfolding the scroll, a white and handsome dragon and horse were strolling leisurely in the picture.

"It really is Zhang Sengyao's painting." The blind Taoist's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Zhang Sengyao in the Tang Dynasty is a man who has mastered the art of painting. His paintings are not Taoist, and they just complement each other for you." , you are not close to ghosts and gods, and Taoism is useless, but it can't affect this dragon and horse picture, well, having this dragon and horse is enough to help you find the plague god."

"It's not too late, I don't know when the master will do it." Li Xiuyuan said.

The blind Taoist said: "You can do it today, let's go outside the city first."

The group quickly left the city.

There is a ruined temple outside the city of Guobei. I don’t know which gods are enshrined. In this world, ghosts and gods are flourishing, and temples rise and fall are common things. A broken temple means that there are no gods coming here, and anyone can occupy it. .

Before Li Xiuyuan entered the ruined temple, he saw many illusory shadows walking back and forth in the dark place of the temple, and it seemed that there were quite a few of them.

"It's a Yin soldier." His expression moved slightly.

Immediately recognized, this is the Yin soldier in the Temple of the City God, and Tieshan and others are all here.

"The young master is here."

"Sure enough, the Eldest Young Master has found him, and the Daoist Priest is also here."

"It seems that we will be able to go back to the city soon, we can't stay in the ruined temple forever."

The Yin soldiers in the temple were discussing with each other.

Li Xiuyuan walked into the ruined temple at this moment, but he immediately saw a statue of a god enshrined at the top of the temple.

This god is carved out of wood, it is natural, with painted outlines on it, it looks like an expert in Taoist robes.

"Is this the statue of my uncle, Taoist Mu?" Li Xiuyuan asked in surprise.

The blind Taoist came in and said, "That's right, it's the god statue of Shi Na's younger brother. He was involved in this catastrophe, contaminated with great karma, and his body was chopped off by the divine thunder in the sky. A ray of spirit was protected by your clothes and did not disappear under the thunder calamity. He could not go on the road to becoming a fairy, but could only take the road of becoming a god with incense and fire. Fortunately, you killed the Guobei City God and left behind a temple. Incense, in this way, the remnant soul of the younger brother, the master, absorbed many incense and condensed the body of incense."

"Junior Brother, why don't you come out and meet?"

"Brother, you made me miserable this time. You hid in the master's gate and cultivated the Jindan Dao. In order to help you take care of your apprentice, I was involved in a disaster, and died." At this time, the wooden statue There was a flash of light above, and a Taoist came down from above.

Who is it if it is not Mu Taoist.

The blind Taoist said: "Junior brother, the road to becoming an immortal is full of disasters. It is common to die and disappear. This disaster is caused by your greed that has not been eliminated. If you can restrain your greed, you will not be able to do it this time." Yingjie will also earn a great merit, which is beneficial to future practice, and there is nothing wrong with following the way of incense, at least you have obtained longevity first."

Taoist Mu glanced at him: "Incense is just a small dao ear. There are only immortal immortals in the world. There is no immortal god. At best, the poor god is a small hairy god in the mountains and fields. He doesn't even have a seal from the heavenly palace. It seems that the poor Taoist exists." There are at least tens of thousands in the world, who knows that someday people will suddenly die at the temple fair, and they have to collect incense every day to fulfill the wishes of pilgrims, and they will bear the sins in the future."

"Brother has cultivated the Golden Core Dao, and he is already considered a fairy in the world. As long as there are no accidents, it will not be difficult to become a fairy in the future."

The blind Taoist smiled, "Okay, Junior Brother, it's too late to say this now, let's enjoy the offerings in the future."

"Master is right. Uncle Master's survival is already the best result. This is something to be happy about. Why should Uncle Master complain?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Taoist Mu laughed at himself suddenly, "That's right, the poor Taoist is too greedy, no wonder his practice has been hindered, he will repair this temple in the future, and be a little hairy god with peace of mind."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Uncle Shi is a bit pessimistic. I think there is still a lack of a City God in the Temple of the City God. Maybe Uncle Shi can take the role."

"To become a City God, you need an imperial seal from the Heavenly Palace." Taoist Mu said, "Although you are a saint in the world, nephew, you can't interfere with the appointment of the City God by the Heavenly Palace."

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Why do you need the seal from the Heavenly Palace? Couldn't you be a city god without the seal from the Heavenly Palace? Now there are Yin soldiers, ghost messengers, and uncles in this temple. What is lacking is just a temple. As long as you settle in Guo Beicheng will be able to perform the duties of the city god immediately, and I believe that the uncle will do better than anyone else, and the imperial seal is just a title."

"But without this title, the righteous gods of Tiangong would not allow Pindao to act as the City God." Taoist Mu said.

"I think Tiangong will sell this face to me." Li Xiuyuan said.

Taoist Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's try it."

Li Xiuyuan smiled, this is not a try, he has to make it happen.

He couldn't trust the city god appointed by Tiangong, and if he sent another dishonest city god at that time, wouldn't it be another disaster for the whole place?

"Okay, that's the end of the gossip. It's not too late. As a teacher, I will find out the whereabouts of the plague god. Later, the disciples only need to follow this paper crane. The paper crane will point out the direction. Remember, No. 1 that Tuer met along the way was the God of Plague, no matter what that person looked like, the God of Plague is ever-changing, it could be a child, a woman, or a strong man."

The blind Taoist pulled out a few pieces of dry grass in the ruined temple, folded it into a grass crane, and then blew a breath, and the grass crane immediately flapped its wings and came back to life.
