Chapter 554: Removing the Old and Removing the Filth

"What should we do if we meet the Door God or the Kitchen God?"

"Are you stupid? How many Door Gods are there in the world? The two from before, even if you add the two newly canonized by the current Emperor for some reason, there are only four! How many doors are there in the world? How many Kitchen Gods are there, and how many stoves are waiting for the Kitchen God? Even if they want to protect, they go to protect the big families with vermilion gates. How much incense do ordinary families offer?" one of the demons said. "It makes sense... Besides, who knows if the gods in the sky are on duty today on New Year's Eve! Maybe they also came down to the mortal realm to play!"

"That makes sense..."

"Eh? Why haven't I seen this household before?"

A group of demons stopped in front of an ordinary courtyard.

"I think so too! Why does it seem like it wasn't here before?"

"Which household is this? I have no impression of it!"

"I remember! This household was here before, it's just that they never opened the door or lit the lamp before!"

"So that's it." A demon said, "I see the lamps lit in the house, but there's no one there. They must have gone out to watch the magic tricks and join in the fun. This family hasn't returned for a long time. Now that they've returned, there must be a table of wine and meat. Let's roll it away before they return, find a quiet place, and let's also spend New Year's Eve, how about that?"

Many demons clapped their hands and cheered!

Immediately, some demons turned into virtual shadows and passed through the door; some turned into a wisp of blue smoke and drifted through the door crack below; some were agile and flipped over the top of the courtyard gate with a little effort; some turned as thin as paper and squeezed through the middle door seam;

Several demons showed their magical powers, which looked quite strange, and they arrived in this courtyard with the pear tree.

The two demons who passed through the wall and turned into smoke ran the fastest and had already entered the inner room.

The two demons outside asked in a low voice:

"Is there anyone inside?"

"No one."

There was another demon climbing the wall, possibly a small demon like a fox, and asked again: "Is there a dog in the house?"

"No."

"Slap! Very good!" The demon clapped his hands and said, "Then what wine and food do they have in the house?"

"Bad! There's nothing to eat! This family ate before going out! They didn't leave any meat for the first or second day of the New Year!" the demon inside said. "It's a pity, the leftovers in the bucket smell fragrant, oily, and have a lot of spices. If it weren't for New Year's Eve today, our family wouldn't let it go, we must taste it!"

"There's another basin of food! Don't know what it is!" Another demon in the inner room also said, "It looks like half a moon, the outside is flour, and the inside looks like meat and vegetables. It's a bit like the dumplings that are becoming popular in the capital in the north now, but one is as big as a palm!"

"Let's go in and see too!"

"Hurry in! Don't say brother doesn't know etiquette, eating before you come in. It's better to teach you to come in and taste what this is together!"

The silent streets and alleys, the sounds of the night, were only a little in the clear breeze. Most people couldn't hear them. If they heard them, they would definitely feel strange.

Before long, all four demons entered the house.

Suddenly heard a "creak" sound.

The courtyard gate seemed to be pushed open.

In an instant, the movement in the house stopped, but the lamp light flickered.

Extremely light and fine sounds came from inside.

"Someone's back..."

"What should we do?"

"Don't be afraid! They should be afraid of us! Like this, let's two go out first and scare them, you two take these foods and run away from the chimney!"

"Good..."

With a bang, the room door opened wide!

Outside was the pitch-black night, incomparably silent.

The two demons just rushed out when they saw the courtyard suddenly bloom with five-colored divine light, which forced them back at once, and even the demon who was about to roll up the food and leave was stunned.

"Yuan... Yuezhao Yuanjun Mother..."

If you talk about who knows the gods in the temple best, besides the most pious believers and the gods themselves, it is these small demons and monsters—Daoist Jiang turning into an ordinary Daoist, they might not recognize her, but now wearing divine clothes and placed in the five-colored divine light, they were scared out of their wits at once.

Some demons had active brains and were still thinking about how the Yuezhao Yuanjun could come here. Some demons had no thinking at all, just knelt on the ground and started to beg for mercy, unable to tell which was smart and which was stupid.

"Where are the celestial soldiers?"

"Here!"

Four celestial soldiers appeared out of thin air, in silver helmets and silver armor, majestic and extraordinary.

"Take them down and wait for interrogation and disposal."

"Yes!"

The celestial soldiers immediately stepped forward, grabbed the four demons, turned into divine light, and disappeared into the night sky immediately.

At this time, the group of Daoists behind walked in.

"Yuezhao Yuanjun Mother is truly majestic," Lin Jue said, and asked with a smile, "What will happen to those few demons?"

"This is not the north. Even demons and ghosts are punished according to the law after interrogation. Although they stole into the house and intended to scare people, their crimes are not enough to die. My subordinates have special judges to interrogate them," Daoist Jiang had already restored the appearance of an ordinary Daoist. "However, the Purple Emperor has entered the Nine Heavens, and the Heavenly Law is changing accordingly. Now the sentencing and crimes are also higher than in the previous dynasty. They might be whipped, suppressed for some years, or sentenced to be servants in the dojo of some god, or work in some orchard, which can be considered education and correction. If they are lucky, they will have some creation."

"This is quite humanized."

"What is humanized?" Daoist Jiang frowned.

"It means benevolence."

"So it's the benevolence of benevolence."

"About the same."

While the two were talking, First Third Third Shixiong and Second Third Third Shixiong had already entered the house, looked at the basin of big dumplings on the table, which were left for a midnight snack.

"It seems they haven't been touched much, they can still be eaten."

"Only two were touched." First Third Third Shixiong first picked up one that fell on the table, then picked up one on the edge of the basin, directly took a bowl from the side, and put it inside. "I'll eat these two."

Behind him, other disciples gathered forward, taking out snacks bought at the lantern festival night market, including roast goose, roast duck, pastries, rice wine, and persimmon cakes, all placed on the table.

They did eat before going out, but after walking through the lantern festival night market, I don't know how many streets and alleys they walked, probably half the city, and when they encountered lantern riddles, they had to use their brains, so they were hungry. Tonight, they just happened to have a midnight snack with the fireworks at night and drink a cup of rice wine.

"Yuezhao Yuanjun Mother, please sit first," Junior Sister learned from her senior brother and said, "Follow us to taste mortal food."

The group sat around the table and divided into two tables.

Daoist Jiang's expression was indifferent, passing over the wine, meat, and snacks bought at the lantern festival night market, and directly picked up a palm-sized dumpling.

"Why are there no fireworks here?"

As soon as the words fell, a "chirp" sound was heard, as if on cue, a firework rushed into the night sky and exploded on the roof they could see through the door, incomparably brilliant.

Everyone then enjoyed the fireworks and ate the midnight snack.

Lin Jue couldn't help but look outside the house.

That pear tree was standing quietly in the courtyard.

Lin Jue was very reluctant to part with it, and also very reluctant to part with this place.

The days living here were quiet and peaceful, and every year the pears were eaten to satisfaction, which was very leisurely and comfortable.

If possible, Lin Jue would really like to live here for another three years.

It's a pity that they have to leave tomorrow.

Lin Jue tasted a few mouthfuls of wine and food, quickly plucked a goose leg, handed it to the fox beside him, and said to it:

"We are leaving tomorrow, hide the magic that hides this place a little

bit."

"Ying wu..."

While eating, the fox turned its head and took a breath.

A wisp of smoke that was difficult to be seen was sucked into its mouth.

Before, it had been relying on these wisps of smoke that were difficult to be seen to cover the commotion of refining pills here. Although sometimes the triggered celestial phenomena could not be completely covered, the medicinal fragrance, spiritual light, and spiritual energy emitted could be covered relatively completely. Besides, this was not the capital, not True Person Lin's residence. True Person Lin had never refined pills here. Even if people saw occasional celestial phenomena, they would not associate it with True Person Lin coming here to refine pills, but would only feel that it was a natural phenomenon and a sign from heaven or gods.

Now that a wisp of smoke was missing, the spiritual charm and mysteries of refining pills in the courtyard, and the immortal energy at the time of becoming an immortal, could not help but leak out a little.

Just a little bit.

If there were more, it would scare the demons and ghosts.

Just this little bit, for some demons and ghosts, was a very strong attraction.

Those who were honest and honest would naturally guess that this was an object with an owner, and at least they would come to check first. Seeing that there were people in the house, they would not act rashly. Those who were not honest and honest would definitely try their best to find out where these spiritual charms and mysteries came from and seize the immortal pills.

And four immortals, a seven-tailed fox, and a Yuezhao Yuanjun of the southern divine system were sitting here, enjoying the fireworks and eating the midnight snack.

"Boom..."

Faint thunder came.

A dark cloud that could distinguish good from evil quietly spread out, directly covering the entire Yangzhou city. It didn't release lightning or thunder snakes, just quietly floating in the sky, overlooking the city.

Until the night was deep and quiet, and the fireworks didn't explode anymore.

"Boom!"

A thick and bright lightning descended, with a purple-red color, instantly piercing the heaven and earth.

Followed by continuous flashes, crossing like a net.

Don't know, thought this was not winter, but midsummer, and this was not land, but a storm at sea.

Removing the old and removing the filth.

This was Lin Jue's New Year's gift to Dharma Master Yun Chan, and it could also be considered a gift to Daoist Jiang and the southern gods. ===== CHAPTER 555 =====
