The world of Taoism

Chapter 178 Killing Back (asking for a monthly ticket)

In the temple of the Empress of Three Caves, a ray of light flashed across the statue, and then fell silent.

The people sitting in meditation at the side felt empty in their hearts, as if they had lost something.

Wu Yuanwai sat on the pavilion behind and closed his eyes to rest.

As the person with the highest status in the temple, he handles a lot of affairs every day.

Including dealing with various affairs, large-scale sacrificial activities and so on.

Boom boom boom!
The door knocked, and Wu Yuanwai opened his eyes.

"Please come in!"

Then two or three middle-aged men with simple and honest appearance walked in.

These people have vicissitudes on their faces and thick calluses on their hands, giving people a weather-beaten feeling.

"Master Wu!"

Rubbing his hands together for the first honest middle-aged man, he greeted him somewhat uncomfortably.

"What do you want from me?" Wu Yuanwai closed his eyes slightly, and leaned on the recliner, "Is the thing you want prepared ready?"

"Master Wu, can you allow a little more time for this, we will make preparations immediately."

Suddenly, Wu Yuanwai opened his eyes with a displeased look on his face.

"Give you a little time? What if the sacrifice is delayed? You are disrespectful to your empress. Aren't you afraid that you will be like the old Lu from the village next door?"

"If you have the guts, you don't need to prepare. I allow you not to prepare."

Several people suddenly turned pale, their hands and feet trembling.

Hearing Wu Yuanwai's words, they also thought of Lao Lu from the next village.

It is said that this guy was disrespectful to the Empress Sandong, which led to the ruin of her family.

It turned out that Lao Lu had a happy family and had two sons.

Later, because they did not hand in the offering in time.

Two sons fell into the water one after another, and his wife died of serious illness.

Now I look at the village every day, waiting for my wife and son to come back, and I am almost crazy.

There is a rule in Sandong Niangniang that some of them take turns to worship Sandong Niangniang every month.

The offerings include chicken, duck, fish, melons, fruits and vegetables, etc. At the same time, paper money for joss sticks and merit money for the three-dong empress are also prepared.

Although it is shared equally by several people, these ordinary poor families cannot afford it.

In addition to taking turns to worship, there will be Sandong Niangniang's birthday, harvest festival, hunting festival and so on every year.

These are equally shared by each village, and will eventually fall on their heads.

The harvest has not been good in recent years, so a few people see if they can be accommodated, and first reduce some.

"Are you sure you don't want to worship? I'm trying to persuade you with kind words, don't treat your kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs." Wu Yuanwai snorted coldly.

Wu Yuanwai has a rich family background, and even has money to buy an official position.

Money is plucked from these sheep.

For Wu Yuanwai, these people are his own crops, which he harvests every year.

The less these people offer, the less he gets.

Once this hole is opened, many people may come to trouble.

"Okay, let's go back and prepare." The middle-aged man turned pale and left with the others.

"Old Niu, what shall we do next?" the companion asked.

The middle-aged man smiled wryly: "What should I do, I can only sell some things, if I can't do it, I can ask Mr. Wu to borrow some."

Wu Yuanwai also provides loan business, and the interest rate is not low.

Many people borrowed money from Wu Yuanwai, basically because of offerings.

After everyone left, Wu Yuanwai closed his eyes leisurely, and became more devout towards Empress Sandong in his heart.

If he didn't believe in the Three Cave Empress, how could he have the opportunity to make money lying down?

The Empress of Three Caves is indeed a benevolent and benevolent god!

Wu Yuanwai was not worried about whether the offering could not be handed in.

Every year, there will be so few lengtouqings who will suffer bad luck in the end because they offend Sandong Niangniang.

After going through so many things, these poor ghosts should know what to do.

Just as Wu Yuanwai closed his eyes, a piece of information entered Wu Yuanwai's mind.

"What?" Wu Yuanwai was surprised.

Empress Sandong actually took the initiative to give him a will.

The content of the message is that the Three Cave Empresses are going to rest for a period of time, and now all expansion actions must be stopped, and each of them will return to their respective temples.

"What's going on?" Member Wu felt something was wrong.

Could it be that Empress Sandong is in trouble?

Member Wu didn't dare to ask, out of trust in Empress Sandong, he decided to follow suit and send a message to others later.

There are a total of ten temples in Sandong Niangniang, the largest of which is the temple of Wu Yuanwai.

Basically every temple has one or two temple guards with spells.

So Wu Yuanwai had to tell them the matter in advance.

"That's right! And Lu's father and son!"

……

On Yuchan Mountain, the father and son of the Lu family that Wu Yuanwai misses are tied to a tree.

Zhou Xuan and other guards were standing in front of the Lu family father and son.

Zhou Xuan held a sea bowl in his hand, which contained half a bowl of clear water and a willow branch.

There were countless corpses of snakes lying under Zhou Xuan's feet.

"You mean, he took out a basin, and countless snakes suddenly ran out of the basin?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Yes, thanks to my subordinates who found this person in time, otherwise the snakes from the whole mountain would come over." Zhou Yi was still terrified.

Zhou Xuan didn't make a move, but Zhou Yi and others took it down.

No matter what the strength of the five people is, there is also a induction period, and it is easy to deal with the two people in front of them.

In front of him, only this middle-aged man has the strength of the induction period.

"An empty pot turns into a snake?" Zhou Xuan looked at the appearance of the middle-aged man tied to the tree, and the more he looked, the more he felt like someone, "Your surname is Wang?"

"My surname is Lu, and my single name is Lin. If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you." The middle-aged man behaved very stubbornly.

But his son did not have such a heroic performance. If he hadn't been tied to a tree, he might have collapsed to the ground.

"Really? Someone, kill this kid for me." Zhou Xuan pointed to the young man beside him.

The young man's complexion was pale, his eyes diverged, and he could tell at a glance that he was excessively indulgent.

"No!"

The young man couldn't hold back his urine immediately, like a flood, and wet the whole pair of pants, it seemed that he had endured it for a long time.

"Yes!" Zhou Yi drew out the long knife.

"Lu Qing, don't say it even if you kill him!"

Lu Lin still did not let go, and even turned his face to the other side.

"Daddy, save me!" The young man wept bitterly, he could already feel the murderous aura gushing out from Monday.

When the long knife scratched his skin slightly, the young man finally collapsed.

"I say I say! I say everything!"

"Hey..." Lu Lin sighed deeply and said nothing more.

The Lu family's father and son gradually revealed their origins.

Including their purpose of coming here, who was instigated by them, and who is their backstage.

"If you dare to touch a single hair of ours, the Empress Sandong will not let you go!" Lu Lin said viciously.

"Is the Three-Dong Empress you're talking about a ghost with a bow and a rooster in her hand?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"Three Cave Empress is a god, not a ghost." Lu Lin's reaction had already told Zhou Xuan the answer.

"Three Cave Empress..." Zhou Xuan showed a clear smile, "I said that I injured your god just now, do you believe it?"

"Impossible, you are a mere mortal, how could you possibly beat the powerful Sandong empress!"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, I'll send you on your way, Master Wang... oh no... Master Lu."

Click!

With a flash of Chun Yu's knife, the heads of the father and son fell to the ground.

This guy who looks exactly like that person, could it really be the reincarnation of that master?
That being the case, Zhou Xuan sent him on his way.

Chunyu's blade condensed a little mist to wash away the blood.

"Sandong Niangniang Temple... Interesting, dare to come to trouble me." A murderous look flashed in Zhou Xuan's eyes.

According to the father and son of the Lu family, the person who instigated them was a guy named Wu Yuanwai.

They believe in Sandong Niangniang, that is, the middle-aged woman that Zhou Xuan met in his mind.

It was the three-dong empress who attacked herself.

And the reason is very simple, that is, an old mage was killed by Zhou Xuan before.

If the guess is correct, the old mage who was killed may be the guy who put the death talisman.

And the reason for all this is because of this small Yuchan Mountain.

The god Sandong Niangniang wanted to open up territory, but Zhou Xuan and others blocked their way, so these people had to kill them.

"A group of robbers!" Zhou Xuan laughed angrily.

"Sir, what should we do?" Monday asked.

"How dare you grab our territory, of course you must fight back!"
