Chapter 137: Fighting Gods in Dreams (Seeking monthly votes)

Shu Village, in the main family of the Shu surname.

Because his own home was at the end of the village and the main family lived in the middle, Lin Jue didn't go home and went to the residence of the main family of the Shu surname first.

In the patio water tank, east bottle west mirror, but on the wall was worshipped a smaller god statue of Liu Taihou. Sitting on the circular chair against the wall was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, dressed as a scholar, looking terrified and numb, with a woman taking care of him beside him, also looking haggard.

"Heaven and earth are vast, spirits of this place, listen to my command. Spiritual light is like washing, illuminating the ancient dark realm. Yaoguai and ghosts come, do not hide your shadows and avoid the light. Three realms of yin and yang, my spell reveals your form."

Lin Jue first recited the spell once in a calm tone, but there was no reaction.

The fox also looked left and right, looking around.

"Has that Liu Taihou come to find him these few days?" Shu Er Shu asked the woman.

"Why didn't he come to find him? He comes to find him every day," the woman sighed. "Just an hour ago, he came clamoring for us to offer sacrifices to him. Isn't that right, just lit incense. It's just that I don't know what happened at that time, he argued for a while, suddenly his expression changed, and he ran away again, and then Chengzhi stopped."

This boy's name was Shu Chengzhi.

"An hour ago..."

Lin Jue captured this information.

Thinking carefully, it was about the time when he and others arrived at the Liu Taihou Temple.

It seems that although the god statue in the temple was newly molded, Liu Taihou was not in the temple at that time, but was very likely on this person, but still heard what he said in front of the god statue.

Lin Jue thought so, walked to the Shu family's youngest son: "How do you feel now?"

"Weak and sleepy all over..."

The Shu family's youngest son was numb and helpless.

"When that Liu Taihou possesses you, what does it feel like?"

"Hard to say. Just feel as if I was squeezed out by someone, I can still see, I can still hear, I have feelings when I touch things, and I will feel pain when I fall or hit a wall, but I can't control myself. Whatever I say or do is not up to me," the Shu family's youngest son said and looked at him, "Lin Erge, save me."

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of him."

Lin Jue saw him like this, and his face didn't look good either.

What kind of god can torture people like this?

Moreover, although this boy was not familiar with Lin Jue, he could find some sounds and pictures related to him in his memory. At this time, hearing him call himself Lin Erge and seeing him like this, he naturally softened his heart.

"Tell me carefully, what did you do and what did you say when you were in his temple."

"Just like ordinary god worship, offered incense to him, and poured a cup of rice wine brewed by his family brought by my classmate," the Shu family's youngest son said, as if he had no strength. "Just thinking that it is rumored that he also fought in the war, and being worshipped as a god, he must have some heroic spirit. Also heard my classmate say that last year Yaoguai were rampant everywhere, and local villagers went there to offer sacrifices, but he didn't manifest, so his originally few incense was gone at all. The temple was overgrown with weeds, I felt he was pitiful, and sighed 'If it goes on like this, any god will perish', don't know how it touched him, and he entangled me."

"So that's how it is."

"What to do now?"

Several people cast their eyes on Lin Jue.

The fox also cast its eyes on Lin Jue.

"This Liu Taihou is not a human after all, and has received incense for so many years. If I slowly look for him, it will be too troublesome. Since he comes here to make trouble every day, I will wait for him here, and naturally talk to him and fight him when he comes. If he doesn't come..."

Speaking of this, he paused and turned to look at the wall of the main hall.

"Is this his god statue?"

"Yes, yes, he forced us to worship it, making us move the portraits of our ancestors," the woman wiped tears with a handkerchief. "If we didn't follow him, I'm afraid Chengzhi's eyes would be poked blind by him."

"Too bullying!"

Shu Er Shu couldn't help but be angry.

This Shu family descendant was a scholar, and even because the village's talent was insufficient, he was sent to a famous academy outside. Clearly, high hopes were placed on him. If his eyes were blind, wouldn't it destroy the expectations of several generations? This thing really held them by the throat.

This was even more hateful than harming people directly.

"Just right!"

Lin Jue then carried his sword and walked to the wall, slowly pulling out his long sword:

"Don't know if you heard what I said before: I am Lin Jue, cultivating the Dao at Fuqiu Peak of Mount Yishan. If you can hear me, come and see me quickly, and explain the reason for the matter clearly. Otherwise, I will definitely smash your temple and god statue, and then report this matter to Qiyun Mountain, no matter where you hide, I will find you and execute you!"

As the words fell, the sword also stabbed out.

"Hiss..."

The god statue itself was a small statue, and the width of the sword blade covered the length of the entire face of the god statue, and the sword tip just happened to stop when it touched the wall.

Lin Jue pulled out his long sword like lightning.

The god statue naturally fell from the cabinet, but it was not always stuck on the sword.

"Don't know what kind of temper he has. I will stay with you tonight and wait for him to come," Lin Jue said to Shu Chengzhi. "If he doesn't come, I will wait a few more days. If he still doesn't come, I will go find him."

"Good!!"

Shu Chengzhi was very moved.

After about a quarter of an hour, the uncle, aunt, and cousin heard that he was back, so they all came to the Shu family to see him. Scattered, they said some words, but Lin Jue didn't go home and kept guarding the Shu family, sleeping in the room of the Shu family's youngest son after dinner.

It gradually got dark outside.

Shu Chengzhi lay on the bed, restless.

Lin Jue lay on the long couch beside him, holding his sword and thinking.

"Lin Erge."

"Hmm?"

"I can't sleep."

"Don't worry, I'm here now. You don't have to be afraid either. You must know that even gods and ghosts often pick soft persimmons to pinch. If you are afraid and your heart is chaotic, it just gives them an opportunity," Lin Jue said. "Didn't you see the old master smash his god statue, but he didn't dare to find the old master?"

"I know..."

"He just has some requests, like a robber, not a heinous Yaoguai, otherwise he would have killed you long ago."

"Hmm..."

"I will recite a Heart-Calming God Spell for you."

After all, he was a fellow villager, and Lin Jue was afraid that his heart and spirit had been tense for three or four months, and if he continued to be tense, there would be problems, so he lay on the long couch and recited:

"The Great Dao has no form, giving birth to heaven and earth, the Great Dao has no emotion, running the sun and moon... Those who have the Dao have clarity and turbidity, have movement and stillness... Tai Shang Tai Xing, responding to changes without stopping, driving away evil and binding charms, protecting life and body, wisdom is bright and pure, heart and spirit are at peace, three souls are permanent, souls have no loss..."

It was no longer cold in late spring, and outside the window was a curved moon. The moonlight spilled in through the half-covered window. The Daoist was only about twenty years old, and his voice was calm but clear, just like this moonlight.

And the complete Heart-Calming Spell was actually not short, Shu Chengzhi was really too tired, and fell asleep before even listening to the first time.

Lin Jue didn't notice and continued reciting.

When he recited to the second time, he heard the even breathing coming from Shu Chengzhi's bed.

Lin Jue was a little older than him and smiled.

He didn't stop and continued reciting.

Speaking of this Heart-Calming Spell, it was actually a combination of Daoist scriptures and spells. Lin Jue was not a Daoist of the Fulu Sect and had not cultivated this spell, so reciting it naturally had no effect on divine power. However, it couldn't be said that it was completely useless just because it had no effect on divine power. Didn't it make people calm down and fall asleep?

Moreover, such scriptures were themselves the works of sages, containing truth, so reading and savoring them more was not a bad thing.

Since he had started reciting, he just finished it.

Really don't know when, his consciousness was a bit dazed.

Lin Jue was suddenly awakened by a palpitation, his left hand instantly gripped the sword sheath, and his right hand also gripped the sword hilt.

Only felt some chill hidden outside.

The Daoist instantly sat up from the long couch, opened the room door, first looked left and right at the corridor, then looked down, only to see the fog outside was heavy, vaguely seeing some impure divine light, but couldn't see clearly.

Suddenly heard someone talking below, the voice heavy:

"Who is above?"

Lin Jue looked back at the room, saw Shu Chengzhi sleeping well on the bed, and even his own fox was curled up into a white thick blanket at the foot of his bed on the long couch, sleeping soundly, so he knew roughly—

This was either a dream or an illusion, absolutely not real.

But what was there to be afraid of?

"I am Lin Jue, a Daoist of Fuqiu Temple on Mount Yishan!" Lin Jue answered holding his sword.

"It was you who said you wanted to smash my temple and god statue, said you wanted to smash me into ashes, and also stabbed my god statue in the Shu family with a sword?"

"Exactly!" Lin Jue stood in the corridor and said loudly, "The people of Shu Village are all my fellow villagers, and the boy you harmed, also played behind me and my brother when he was young. You harmed him like this for no reason, naturally I have to come and talk to you."

Paused:

"And you are a god, even if you haven't been decreed by Lord Tianweng of the imperial court, you have at least received incense from the common people for so many years. If what they said is true, then you really don't deserve to enjoy temple offerings anymore!"

The voice heard this but didn't argue, but asked back: "Then what do you want?"

"Didn't you hear?"

"Ah!! Good, good, good! You all want to smash my temple and god statue! Cut off my incense!"

The voice from that side was full of anger, as if squeezed out from the throat, making people feel as if they could imagine the image of a bearded strong man who was furious.

Immediately gritted his teeth and said:

"You Daoist! Today I saw you stab my god statue with a sword, thinking you have some martial arts. Since you want to stand up for him, dare you come downstairs and follow me? You and I find an open place to compete? Fighting here is afraid of killing all this family who are sleeping, I still count on them to continue to offer me food and drink!"

"Just what I want!"

Lin Jue carried his long sword, turned back, and patted the fox.

Saw the fox lift its head from its claws, open its eyes, look at him sleepily. When it saw him, there was clearly surprise in its eyes, then it quickly recovered its clarity and agility, looked left and right, even more surprised.

"Go! Follow me to entertain guests!"

"Ying!"

The fox didn't talk nonsense when it heard this, immediately jumped off the long couch, and took the opportunity to stretch.

The Daoist held his sword and pushed the door out.

Crossed the corridor railing and jumped down.

The fox followed him.

One person and one fox landed on the ground one after another. This was not outside the house, but in the patio of the courtyard, behind was the main hall, and in front was the main gate. Only saw a thin layer of fog around, and there was no movement in any room, only the main gate in front was open, and the moonlight was light.

"Dare you come out?"

That heavy voice shouted outside.

One person and one fox looked at each other and went out directly.

Outside was a small alley, also filled with light fog.

The alley and the houses beside it were a bit illusory, seeming true and false, but it could be vaguely seen that it was Shu Village.

With every step, the fog became heavier.

There was also a feeling of illusory mystery.

It seemed there was no one in the village.

"Come here to fight!"

The voice came from one end of the alley again.

Vaguely heard some water sounds.

One person and one fox were vigilant but not afraid, followed the direction of the voice and walked out of the alley, only to see the place in front was a bit wider, there was a small creek about a foot wide, the creek was running, and there was a narrow stone bridge on it, and a warrior carrying a long gun and a long sword was standing on the bridge.

And behind him, on the other side of the small creek, there were originally many houses, but at this time they were all gone.

Looking left and right, the village was originally very large, but at this time other houses and alleys were all gone, only a sheet of white fog could be seen. Only this alley at the door of the Shu surname main family where one person and one fox lived was the clearest.

Lin Jue's eyes revealed a thoughtful look—

Had heard from Shixiongs and Master, most gods had a skill, called Detaining Souls and Ordering Spirits.

In folk rumors, who did bad things, was reported to the City God by Yaoguai and ghosts, or who ran to the god to cry and file a lawsuit because of injustice, and was pulled by the god to confront in a dream, was this skill.

Besides righteous gods, some Yaoguai and evil gods who ate incense would also have this skill.

Actually, it was half-dream and half-illusion, true and false were hard to distinguish.

Could it be this supernatural power at this time?

However, Lin Jue had rarely heard of Daoists of the Lingfa Sect being pulled by gods. It was Lin Jue himself who had a suspected experience in the Yili God Temple in Yixian County, and he had rarely heard stories in folk rumors about who was pulled to be punished and died in a dream, so Lin Jue was not sure what would happen to reality if he was injured or even died in this dream.

Look at this warrior again.

But it was not the image of a bearded strong man, but a man with a square face, looking about thirty years old, tall and sturdy, with eyes full of anger.

"Why did you entangle Shu Chengzhi?"

"No need to say more! Long-winded! Today you and I use our skills to decide the outcome and right or wrong!"

"It seems you really have some heroic spirit, but you didn't match the virtue of that temple god statue!"

"None of your business!" Liu Tai directly took the long gun in his right hand to the front, and his left hand took down the long sword at his waist, "See you are one who uses a sword, but here, you can't pull out that sword, use mine!"

"Hmm?"

Lin Jue was thinking that he actually had to fight a god in a dream, and for this, he had some wonderful dream-like feelings in his heart. Hearing him say this, he immediately took his own sword and pulled it hard.

Sure enough, couldn't pull it out.

Lin Jue felt bad!

So he immediately pinched a finger seal again, wanting to call the wind.

But there was no movement at all.

"Sure enough..."

Can't use magic here?

Rubbed on his body, the bean soldiers and flying darts were actually not there!

Just thinking, a long sword had already flown over.

Lin Jue didn't think, reached out and took it.

Felt the hand feel and his own sword had some difference, the weight was about the same.

Didn't have time to think more, that Liu Tai exerted force under his feet, holding the long gun and flying over to explore the sea, his eyes like torches, staring at him tightly.

Lin Jue hurriedly dodged to the side.

"Brush!" 【143】 The gun tip carried a bit of cold light, fast as a poisonous snake, piercing through the thin fog, just happened to stab from in front of his neck, and just happened to stop here.

The spear tip carried a point of cold light, swift as a viper, piercing through the thin mist; it passed just in front of his neck and stopped exactly there.

Then the gun head changed direction, immediately swept.

Lin Jue widened his eyes, hurriedly dodged and bent over.

This long gun force was so fast and fierce, in Liu Tai's hands it was like an arm, and swept past Lin Jue's side face again.

Lin Jue almost rolled a circle, only then stood up straight, but saw that don't know when the long gun had been lifted over Liu Tai's head, the gun head lifted fast and fell fast, and it was a force to split Mount Hua against Lin Jue.

The sound of the split wind was sobbing like crying.

"Dang!"

Lin Jue held the sword hilt with one hand and the sword sheath with the other, lifted it over his head, just happened to block this heavy blow, and also took the opportunity to pull out the long sword.

Unexpectedly, the gun body changed direction again, and with a shake of both hands, it was a gun whip.

"Boom!"

Lin Jue used a back sword style, with the sword body against his body, blocking this sweeping whip.

But the force on this gun was huge, although it hit the sword, blocking the most fierce momentum and sharpness, but the remaining force immediately pulled him to take a few steps to the side, only feeling hot and painful on his body.

Came back to his senses, Liu Tai had stood in his original position.

"Have some skills! But not much!"

Liu Tai held the gun and pointed to the ground, looking at him contemptuously.

"I thought you had some heroic spirit, but it turned out to be playing some low-down tricks, playing sneak attacks, but you are a despicable villain!"

Lin Jue also looked at him carefully.

The long gun was very long, logically it should be heavier than a knife or sword, but in his hands it was free, like wind like electricity. This Liu Tai, not to mention character, should really be a martial arts expert.

Such a martial arts expert, relying solely on martial arts, he alone was afraid it would be very difficult to beat him.

Not to mention fighting with a sword against a gun was already at a disadvantage.

Lin Jue thought while looking at the fox beside him.

The fox seemed to be afraid and hiding, don't know when it got behind Liu Tai, and with himself one in front and one behind, just sandwiched this person in the middle. ===== CHAPTER 138 =====
