Liaozhai Great Sage

It seemed that he was afraid of Master Kong's golden body, and retreated again. From the looks of it, he probably didn't dare to break into the world in a short time. After all, these evil spirits were very impressed by his fierce methods before.

"Let's go out and think of a way. It's useless to stay here, but I can't leave here at will before this gap is sealed." Li Xiuyuan thought secretly in his heart.

He rode on the dragon horse and decided to go up to see if the helper he had invited before had arrived.

Soon, sitting on the dragon horse, after flying several times, he jumped out of the hole.

"Eldest young master, it's good that you are fine, what happened next? Why did you want Master Kong's golden body?"

Ma Dong bowed his hands and gave a salute, then asked curiously.

"The hole below is connected with the underworld. The evil spirits of the underworld try to escape through this gap. I am guarding them below, but I am a living person and cannot stay in the underworld for long. I can only put Master Kong's golden body in the underworld." It suppressed evil spirits in my place."

Li Xiuyuan said: "But this is a temporary solution, not the root cause. It won't take long to suppress it with one golden body of Master Kong. At least two more are needed."

"It's just that time is running out, and I don't know where to find the two golden bodies."

After speaking, he shook his head helplessly.

If you can't find a way, then there are only two options, or let the evil spirits here go in and out of the world.

Or, he will stay here all the time.

No matter which choice, Li Xiuyuan can't do it.

He still has a lot of things to do, how can he stay in this place all the time.

"By the way, young master, a strange thing happened when the two younger ones went to Lanruo Temple to retrieve the golden body."

At this moment, Niu Er hurriedly said: "When the little one and Niu Er were taking their golden bodies and preparing to return, they suddenly dreamed of the Vajra Arhat coming out from the side hall next to them, and they asked the little one to bring their statues here. , said to be able to suppress ghosts in the underworld."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Li Xiuyuan said with a bit of strangeness.

This should be a dream entrusted by the gods, and the Buddha appeared.

It's just that I don't know if this matter is true or not. If it is true, it would be the best, but if it is false... it may be caused by evil spirits.

Although the thousand-year-old banyan tree spirit in Lanruo Temple has been wiped out, Lanruo Temple has no incense to worship, and eminent monks are stationed there. It has become an evil place after all, and the possibility of King Kong Arhat appearing is really not high.

"Eldest young master, there is indeed such a thing. The younger one also saw two statues of Arhats stepping off the altar and standing in the middle of the main hall. The statues weighed at least a few thousand catties. If they cannot be moved by human power, there must be some The power of ghosts and gods appears." Ma Dong said again.

Li Xiuyuan pondered and said: "Since this matter is somewhat credible, let's try it and bring the two god statues there."

"Young Master, the two statues are extremely heavy, and you need to go to the county to hire labor and craftsmen to carry them. It's so late now, and it will take at least tomorrow morning to hire people, and it will take at least three to five days to transport them here. ’” Ma Dong said.

"Yes, I almost forgot about it." Li Xiuyuan laughed at himself.

People like myself are ordinary people, and it is not easy to carry such a heavy object, it takes a lot of time and energy to do it.

"What's so difficult about this, the little god can move a statue for Mr. Li."

At this time, a man dressed like a general in armor came out from the darkness and saluted Li Xiuyuan.

"Which side of the god are you?"

Li Xiuyuan also bowed very politely, and then asked.

"A small mountain god in a certain place was originally a mountain hunter who became a mountain ghost after his death. Because of his meritorious service in protecting fifteen mountain villages, he was worshiped by the villagers. Over time, he proclaimed himself a god. Tonight, the little god watched the stars at night and saw a Duo Qingyun flew here with the golden inscription, it turned out that the nobleman needed help, so the little god dared to come to help."

A certain mountain god clapped his hands.

Li Xiuyuan nodded, this should be the so-called Xiaomao God.

Since ancient times, ghosts and gods belong to one family. If ghosts protect the people, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and receive incense gifts, they will naturally become gods with incense and become a small god.

This kind of small god is not recognized by Tiangong, only recognized by a certain village, a certain county.

But it is undeniable that this is indeed a god.

Gods are big and small, and not all gods are supreme.

"This mountain god, you came just in time. I'm going to Lanruo Temple to bring a statue here. Can you help me?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"I would like to help you, but the little god's strength is limited. With the strength of one person alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold a god statue. I need Mr. Li's help." Said a certain mountain god.

Li Xiuyuan said: "How can I help you?"

"The little god has a skill that can take away people's strength. Mr. Li has seven or eight guards around him. If he can borrow the little god's strength for a day, the little god can carry the statue." A certain mountain god said.

Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while, looked at the guards in the thatched shed, and asked, "Are you willing to lend your energy to this mountain god for a day?"

"Everything is under the orders of the young master."

The guards looked around and looked at each other, and finally believed in Li Xiuyuan without hesitation.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Is there any harm in taking away one day's strength?"

A certain mountain god said: "There is no harm, but it will be weak within three days, and it will be back to normal after three days."

"That's good, you can take away the strength of my guards." Li Xiuyuan said.

"The little god made a fool of himself."

A certain mountain god strode over immediately, grabbed a guard, and took out a small blue worm from nowhere, and then he threw the small cyan worm into his mouth and swallowed it.

The guard who had taken the green bug suddenly felt limp all over his body. He couldn't even stand still and sat down on the ground.

"I, my strength is gone."

The guard panted, as if he had been fighting fiercely all night, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.

The mountain god of a certain place did not stop, and walked around the guards one by one, each of them took down a caterpillar, threw it into his mouth and swallowed it, before coming to Li Xiuyuan again.

"Mr. Li, the little god has already exerted enough strength. This is the statue that Mr. Li carried on his back. Please wait a moment, Mr. Li."

After finishing speaking, the mountain god walked like flying, rushed into the darkness, and galloped towards Lanruo Temple.

Chapter 263 You Can't Get Paid For Nothing

The guards whose strength was taken away by the mountain god were all slumped in the straw shed, their muscles and bones were so weak that they didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Li Xiuyuan didn't expect that all of the normally fierce men suddenly became like this.

However, as long as the matter here can be resolved, what does it matter if the mountain god takes away a day's strength.

"In the morning, I will ask someone to take you back to rest. You have all worked hard today, and each of you will receive two taels of silver when you go back." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Thank you, young master." A few guards said weakly.
